Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 332 The Calling Voice in the Dream (4000-word chapter)
"Uh...Okay." Ke Lan suddenly felt that he seemed to have a talent different from ordinary people in the aspect of chatting to death...

In this case, it seems that the only way to resort to sleep and escape.

He deliberated for several seconds before he forcefully squeezed out a few words: "Well... there is still a competition tomorrow, go to bed early, good night."

"Good night," Zofia replied, turning around and pulling up the quilt.

This quilt was big enough to cover two people, but Ke Lan still didn't feel ashamed to get into the quilt. He covered his body with the jacket he had taken off, wrapped his hands around his chest, and closed his eyes.

"Fortunately, at least the pillow is divided into two, not the kind of long pillow that is as wide as the bed." He thought happily.

When the embarrassment gradually receded, fatigue and sleepiness quickly surged up—although it was an excuse, but he did not lie, he had at least launched nearly a hundred times in today's battle with the ace of Angress Club Although the ability of "stopping time" is only for a short moment each time, it still puts a huge burden on Ke Lan's spirit when added together.

The nerves that were still in a tense state gradually relaxed. It didn't take long for Ke Lan to feel his consciousness sinking into a seemingly endless chaos...

At this moment, the shrill screams and howls exploded in the chaos without warning, just like a huge stone was suddenly dropped on the calm and dark lake, these sounds were like ripples on the water surface, interacting with each other Collision, interference, intertwined into a creepy movement of terror!
These screams and wailing... Ke Lan is not unfamiliar, he can hear these voices every time the activation time stops, and he has long been immune to it... However, he is in a dream , seems to have lost this immunity.

These voices drilled into his body like a pervasive tide, replicated themselves like infinitely proliferating cancer cells, and then spread. They overlapped many times, and the distorted voices were like the roar of a banshee, left and right in Ke Lan's mind. Rush to the right, as if to tear a hole in his skull...

This feeling made him unbearable at all. For a moment, he almost blurred the line between dream and reality.

Ke Lan really wanted to wake up... but found that his body was tightly bound and he couldn't move at all. This feeling was like the legendary ghost press——

He looked around subconsciously, and saw that at some point, countless corpses crawled out of the chaos. Among these corpses, there were dead who had not completely decomposed and roughly kept the appearance of life, and there were only corpses left. Skeletons with white bones, male and female, old and young... With a long trail of blood trailing behind them, they crawled towards Ke Lan step by step.

"These corpses... are the victims of the East Ninth District incident!" Among these corpses, Ke Lan even saw the "container" that was killed by the security bureau agents at the beginning of the operation:
Half of the furnishing sleeve on her body was dragged on the ground, stained dark black by the dirty blood, large and small potato-like tumors covered her whole body, many of these tumors had died The cracks opened, and the smelly pus mixed with the tissue fragments that hadn't fully melted continuously dripped down to her feet.

"Why do these things appear in my dreams... Is it because of excessive use of abilities?" Ke Lan was very puzzled, "But the problem is, I have overdrawn a few times before, but never have such a situation what."

At this time, the corpses at the front had already crawled in front of Ke Lan. They stretched out their hands and grabbed Ke Lan's ankles—Ke Lan didn't back up, resist or struggle, he knew this was just a dream, Things can't really hurt him... What's more, what he wants to understand most now is the reason why these dead people appear in his dreams-rather than choose to escape, it's better to respond to all changes with the same.

But just when the first corpse was about to catch Ke Lan, there was a faint whimpering sound all around, and the corpses stopped their movements when they heard the whimpering sound. Then, they quickly melted into the chaos like wax figures touching a hot iron block.

"what happened?"

Ke Lan was startled immediately, but it was just that startled. He found that he had regained control of his body... The chaos in his field of vision was rapidly becoming blurred. The call of nothing... A certain coordinate was imprinted in the depths of Ke Lan's memory.

Ke Lan suddenly opened his eyes. He sat up from the bed and glanced at Zofia next to him. She was breathing evenly and gently, apparently in a deep sleep.

"This dream... always feels so strange..." Ke Lan vaguely remembered that the call seemed to tell him a coordinate, but when he tried to recall it, he couldn't remember anything.

As for the voice, although it was a bit like the cry for help that Ke Lan heard in the East Ninth District, but if you compare it carefully, you will find that there seems to be a huge difference between the two-in the dream just now, Ke Lan The voice heard was sharper, like the voice of a newborn baby.

It's strange to say that I can still hear a hint of "calling" in such a sharp voice, I'm afraid there is something wrong with my auditory center...

Glancing at the timer embedded on the wall, it was only one thirty in the morning, Ke Lan thought about it, and simply lay down again—if he slept until dawn, it would be as if nothing happened If this strange dream reappears, then he can just take this opportunity to find out.

……

However, when Ke Lan woke up the next day, not to mention whether the second dream had appeared, even the memory of a dream had become extremely vague... The only thing he still remembered was that as The high-pitched voice of a baby girl was gone.

Ke Lan remembered that the voices he heard in the East Ninth District, whether it was sobs or cries for help, should all come from the "iron maiden"... the things inside have long been accompanied by The entire East Ninth District was turned into ashes... Even if it was really a creature of the prehistoric level, it should have died extremely thoroughly.

Moreover, Ke Lan also clearly remembers that at the moment when the East Ninth District module was destroyed by the main gun of the Ark, his body also had a corresponding "reaction", which seemed to prove the connection between himself and that thing It has been cut off, and as for the black liquid that seeped into his palm, even if it still stays in his body, it should be regarded as an independent existence.

Apart from granting himself the cheating ability of "stopping time", this thing didn't seem to cause any damage to the body-after that, Ke Lan entrusted Ivan to conduct several comprehensive physical examinations on himself, and it turned out that , his body is very healthy, and no abnormalities have been detected at all.

"Nothing out of the ordinary... no."

Ke Lan raised his right hand. The newly grown little finger and ring finger are almost exactly the same as the original ones, and there are no scars or other marks left at the cut-off site. The other fingers are fairer, and the nails are also shorter and thinner.

If the universal medical cabin is used to regenerate severed limbs, the new limbs will not grow nails, and nail replantation must be performed separately. In terms of recovery rate, the medical cabin is completely inferior Ke Lan's own regeneration ability.

"But why didn't you find it during the physical examination?"

When Ivan was doing the examination for Ke Lan before, not to mention routine urine and blood samples, even hair, skin, muscle... and even bone samples were collected, but those samples left his body In addition, it seems to have lost this peculiar regenerative ability, and it has become no different from the tissues of normal people.

After returning from the tiankeng, Ke Lan discussed the issue of regenerative ability with Ivan several times, but they could not come to any accurate conclusions. According to Ivan, unless Ke Lan cut off his head, Try to see if you can grow a new head, otherwise, the progress of research will become extremely slow...

Of course, there is another solution, that is to go to the research institute to "surrender"... In that case, Ke Lan would rather choose to cut off his head directly, which is better than being tied to the operating table to suffer all kinds of inhuman The torment is coming quickly.

"At least my appearance still maintains the appearance of a human being, and I haven't turned into any weird creatures..." Ke Lan comforted herself in this way, and sat up from the bed.

Zofia woke up earlier than Ke Lan, and there was still a lingering warmth on the side of the bed where she slept... The sound of rustling water came from one side, and Ke Lan turned his head to look, only to see the water in the bathroom. The door was closed, and through the frosted glass on the door, one could vaguely glimpse the moving curve.

"Taking a bath?" Ke Lan muttered in his heart, but he didn't push the door - it would be fine if the other party was wearing clothes or a towel, but if he didn't wear anything, the scene would be embarrassing.

After thinking about it, he put on his clothes and walked out of the room—there is also a bathroom in the living room. Although there is no way to take a shower, it's okay to brush your teeth and wash your face.

As soon as he opened the door and went out, he saw Hound and Chi Hanfeng sitting at the dining table facing each other, eating breakfast while studying the opponent's information.

"Both of you, you got up pretty early." Ke Lan said hello to the two of them while putting on his coat.

"As a middle-aged person, isn't it normal that sleep time is shorter than young people? On the contrary, you, Ke Lan, I didn't expect you to wake up so early today." The hound said with a strange expression He looked at Ke Lan with his eyes, obviously there was something in his words.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"No, no problem... As a man, of course you should put your career first instead of indulging in gentleness. You have done a good job on this..." The hound suddenly said seriously, but he didn't maintain this look for even a second Hold on, in a blink of an eye, Ke Lan changed into the wretched appearance when he first saw him, and asked with a suppressed voice: "By the way... the taste of the eldest lady, is it not bad?"

Not only him, but even Chi Hanfeng, who has always been serious, showed a bewildered smile like "aunt's smile" to Ke Lan at this time.

"???" Ke Lan's eyes widened, and he didn't know how to answer this question for a while.

"Last night, everyone watched you and the eldest lady enter the same room..." The hound lowered his voice, "Don't tell me that you didn't do anything except sleep, right? "

"Just sleep, or what else do you think of me?"

"Oh...you're embarrassed to say, I understand, just go to bed when you sleep, anyway, sleep has many meanings, right?"

"What's right, right, for your size!" The hound has already said this, and Ke Lan naturally understood what the old man was criticizing, and explained word by word, "Let me tell you like this , the things you thought in your head never happened at all."

"No way? Are you still a virgin now?" The hound stood up, walked over, put his arm around Ke Lan's shoulder, and said in his ear, "A beauty like Missy... how can you bear it?" Live? You...you don't really have a physical problem, do you?"

The hound glanced at the bedroom door, and continued: "If you are sick, you have to be treated... Don't worry, I will definitely keep this matter a secret for you, and I will never let the young lady know that you have this obstacle... I Let me tell you, don't look at her performance is not obvious now, after 30 years old, when you reach that wolf-like age, if you can't be full..."

Before the hound finished speaking, Ke Lan covered his mouth. He really wanted to argue with the hound that there was nothing wrong with his body, but the more he argued, the more it seemed that there was no silver 300 taels here... He thought about it, and simply Changed the subject.

"Last night, I had a dream."

"What dream? Spring dream?"

"It's not...it's a nightmare. I dreamed about those victims who died in the East Ninth District Incident." Ke Lan said in a deep voice.

"... Could it be that you are too nervous?" The hound's expression finally changed slightly, "Is there anything special about that dream?"

For relic hunters, having nightmares is actually a very normal thing, especially after completing some dangerous tasks... No matter how nervous a guy is, it is inevitable to dream about the horrible things encountered in the relics. It's a very normal thing, but the hound still smelled something wrong from Ke Lan's words.

"In the dream, a voice told me a geographic coordinate... But after I woke up, I couldn't remember it at all."

"Geographical coordinates... somewhere on Alpha Planet?"

"I don't know... After waking up, I can only remember such an incident, but all the content and details, not even a vague impression remain in my memory."
