Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 246 Whispering in a Dream

"Hey, Luo Wei, can you hear me?" Ke Lan whispered in Patient 0302's ear, and he patted the patient's back with his palm, trying to ease his emotions.

"Luo Wei, tell me, what did you see?" Ke Lan continued to ask, but at this moment, patient No. 0302 suddenly stopped convulsing, and then gasped for breath——

"Damn it, he will suffocate if this continues!" Ke Lan raised his head, wanting to find the oxygen valve on the bed of a general hospital, but there is no bed in this cage-like ward, let alone that A conventional security facility.

"Oxygen! Someone bring the oxygen!" Ke Lan turned his head and shouted at the dean.

"Oh... oh good!" The dean was stunned for a moment, and quickly responded - if the patient died in their hospital, although the matter would not cause a big disturbance, as the dean, he must have a lot of things Trouble to deal with.

The oxygen cylinder on the trolley was quickly pushed over. Ke Lan grabbed the breathing mask and put it directly on the face of patient 0302.

Patient 0302's breathing finally eased. At the same time, his head began to shake from side to side unconsciously, and some fragmented words began to spit out from his mouth...

"This... is this a state of delirium?" The dean looked at patient 0302 with some curiosity, "He seems to be talking about something..."

"Shut up." Ke Lan shouted, he turned his head and put his hands behind his ears, carefully discerning the meaning of these few words.

"I...I won't die here..."

"Run... Everyone, run..."

"Another one died..."

"As long as you get to... the stone bridge... you can go out..."

"Stone Bridge?" Ke Lan's heart moved slightly. This may be a key word. He immediately turned on his mobile phone and found out the detailed information about patient 0420 sent to him by ACMS_0302.

"Stone bridge... where is there a stone bridge, or rather, a ruin with a stone bridge?"

Moreover, based on the content of his words, this stone bridge should be located at the exit or entrance of the ruins.

Ke Lan's eyes swept down the long list of mission records, and soon he locked on one of them.

This is an exploration record 26 months ago. The number of the explored ruins is A-065 "Black Temple".

Although Ke Lan has not explored this relic, he once considered this relic as one of his candidate targets, so he has studied the information of this relic.

He remembered that the A-065 relic "Black Temple" was located in the depths of a volcanic basin surrounded by cliffs thousands of meters high, with flowing magma at the bottom, and the main body of the temple was built from a Atop giant volcanic rocks rising from magma.

There are only two ways to enter the temple: one is to jump from the air directly above the temple, and the other is to cross a stone bridge that extends out of the basin.

Could it be that the "stone bridge" mentioned by patient No. 0302 refers to this one?
Ke Lan clicked on the detailed information of this exploration record, and at first glance, he saw the casualty statistics at the top of the text report: a total of 49 hunters from three hunting groups participated in this exploration operation, but the death toll was as high as 41 In addition, there are 6 people missing, 1 person was seriously injured and died half a month later because of his serious injuries and ineffective treatment-generally speaking, the "missing" hunters in the ruins are basically default To die... That is to say, Patient No. 0302, Lowe, was the only survivor of this exploration operation.

In the circle of relic hunters, there are not many exploration tasks like this where only one person survives, and in more cases, the entire army is wiped out.

As a colleague, Ke Lan is very clear that this kind of thing will definitely leave an indelible shadow in the heart of the person involved - the vast majority of hunters will choose to wash their hands and quit this business after encountering such a thing .Only a very small number of people with excellent psychological quality will get rid of the impact of this nightmare experience and continue to work in the relic hunter business.

This Lowe should belong to the latter. In the 065 months after exploring the "Black Temple" of No. A-26, he participated in 7 relic exploration operations, including the last mission to explore the bottomless sinkhole Including, there are a total of five B-level relics, one A-level and one S-level.

In these seven exploration operations, he did not make any mistakes or mistakes, and the evaluation scores given to him by the team were also at the forefront of everyone - judging from the paper data alone, he can definitely be regarded as an experienced, cautious, An excellent hunter worthy of the trust of teammates.

The tragedy that happened in the "Black Temple" of the A-065 ruins did not bring him any negative impact. In other words, with his strong will, he completely suppressed the negative impact of these fearful memories.

But such a strong-willed person, after spending these 26 months in peace, why did he go crazy just after going to the bottomless sinkhole?

Is there any connection between the "Bottomless Sinkhole" of the S-018 relic and the "Black Temple" of the A-065 relic?
No, no... There should be no connection between the two, after all, he is the only one who came back from the Black Temple alive, while there are dozens of relic hunters who went crazy, and each of them has endless The same experience, not everyone has been to the Black Temple... The past of patient No. 0302 is just an example and does not explain anything.

But there is no doubt that the experience of the Black Temple planted a seed called "fear" in his heart. In the past 26 months, this seed has been deeply buried in the heart of patient 0302... …until not so long ago, for some unknown reason, this seed suddenly began to sprout and thrive…it was no longer a seed, but a lingering nightmare.

Patient 0302's consciousness has been trapped in this nightmare, he can't break free from it, he can only repeat the tragedy of that day over and over again.

The reason why he became so aggressive may be that he regarded the approaching medical staff and Ke Lan as the monsters he encountered in the black temple... From his perspective, he is not in the hospital ward now Inside, but inside that desperate ruin.

However, there is another question...why does patient 0302 have such an obvious reaction to the alpha language?Logically speaking, ordinary humans who have not received the "inheritance" should not be able to hear the Alpha language. Even the high-level believers of the heretical sects are only given temporary permission to use the "Holy Word". To "read" those sentences, what they need to pay is their own vitality. What they have mastered is only a method of use, not the language itself.

Could it be that the Alpha language was the catalyst that led to the germination of that "seed"?
