Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 393 The Perfect Work
There was another crisp sound like "pop", this time, it was the man's head that exploded.

That head, like a watermelon hit by a rounded hammer, suddenly burst into countless pieces of different sizes.

The red and white "melon flesh" mixed with "juice" splashed in all directions, a round eyeball flew far away, and bounced on the ground several times, after hitting the wall on one side of the hall Only then did it stop, spinning around in place.

Although the metaphor of comparing the head to a watermelon has been used badly by various literary works, Ke Lan still feels that this is the only way to properly express what he sees.

The body that lost its head twitched unnaturally, and then fell face down. Many black tentacles rushed out from the broken neck. They squeezed and entangled each other, like some kind of frightened beast The same... However, before these tentacles can completely break free from the dead body, the vitality in their bodies has been exhausted.

The plump and elastic mucous membrane became shriveled and shriveled, the solid and powerful muscles melted into flowing pus, and those tiny suckers shrank into a ball, looking like the ones people used to make tea in the old era Dried chrysanthemums.

In just a few seconds, the monster "dwelling" in that person's body had withered and died, leaving only a weathered shell.

"He...he just died like this?" Ke Lan looked at the corpse in the distance in disbelief. He never imagined that the founder of the heretical sect was killed so easily.

"It's just a substitute." Chiron said, "A person like him who values ​​his own life so much would not be willing to take this risk with his real body."

"Stand-in..." At this moment, Ke Lan seemed to catch something out of the corner of his eye, and he raised his head quickly, only to see a dark black thing floating on the dome of the hall.

It was an ancient instrument of torture that looked like a coffin, and the metal cast shell was full of traces of melting.

"Iron Maiden." Ke Lan murmured. Although the appearance had changed a little, he still recognized it at a glance—this "big coffin" was hung on the highest point of the Barrasaka Tower that day. The next "Iron Maiden"!
A pitch-like black viscous liquid continuously dripped from the gap, but the liquid didn't drop onto the ground, but drew a nearly circular arc in the air, returning to the Iron Maiden again.

"You're finally here." The girl's voice sounded in Ke Lan's head again. He subconsciously wanted to open his mouth to say something, but found that his lips seemed to be stuck with super glue—not just his lips, he His entire body has been frozen, and apart from him and the "Iron Maiden" suspended in mid-air, everything around him has turned into black and white.

This scene is really familiar to Ke Lan, it is clearly the scene after the activation of "Time Stop"... But the problem is that he didn't use this ability at all just now!
Moreover, this time, the cries and wailing sounds that he has long been accustomed to did not appear in his ears. The whole world was in a state of absolute silence, and even Ke Lan's own breathing and heartbeat could not be heard. Disappeared with the passage of time.

The Iron Maiden slowly descended from the air and hovered only five meters away from Ke Lan.

Although Ke Lan couldn't move his body, his consciousness was not restricted. He really wanted to break free from the shackles of Time Stop, but found that no matter how hard he struggled, it was futile, even if he wanted to activate his "Time Stop". "Ability, there is no way to do it.

It's like the saying "the little boy sees the big boy" as the saying goes, completely suppressed by the other party.

"Let others be slaughtered..." Ke Lan couldn't help thinking of this idiom... If he knew that this thing was in the "Sick Village", then he would not be able to come here if he was killed-he originally thought that even if the thing in the Iron Maiden Those who didn't die under the shooting of the Ark's main guns probably should have been captured by Alpha Planet's gravity and fell to a certain corner of the surface.But he never imagined that this thing would drift in low-earth orbit for several days, and then invade the passing space station!

"Who the hell would have thought of that!" Ke Lan couldn't help feeling wronged.

The cover of the Iron Maiden slipped away without a sound, and a large amount of "black asphalt" poured out of it, condensing into a smooth sphere nearly one person tall. When Ke Lan stared at the sphere, the other A circle of rippling ripples suddenly appeared on the surface, and then a slender, white and tender palm protruded from the inside of the sphere.

I don't know why, but Ke Lan's mind suddenly came up with the phrase "out of mud but not stained". Compared with the sphere made of "black asphalt", this dazzlingly white palm formed a very sharp contrast ... For a moment, Ke Lan seemed to feel that all the light in this space was concentrated on this palm.

"The thing in the iron maiden...is it a humanoid creature?" Ke Lan was a little surprised. Although the other party's voice was "a girl's voice", he was used to seeing all kinds of monsters, but he never really understood the girl's voice with the girl's voice. Girls connect.

Among the people parasitized by the eroded species in the East Ninth District, there are many women with extremely high looks... But no matter how good-looking the skin is, in Ke Lan's eyes, it is nothing more than a body made of flesh and blood. After the seeds of erosion in the bodies of those beauties entered a period of rapid change, no matter how beautiful their faces were, there was nothing left but horror and horror.

But this time it's different... This time, Ke Lan knew clearly in her heart that the owner of this palm is not a human being, she... no, it should be "it", it is a head made by the Alpha civilization A monster with terrifying power... However, after seeing this palm, Ke Lan still had a pleasing feeling.

Appearing in front of his eyes is not, it seems not a palm, but a finely crafted work of art, a work of art that cannot be reproduced by human technology, no matter the shape of the bones or the texture of the skin , can only be described by the word "perfect".

After the palm comes the wrist, then the forearm, the big arm and even the entire upper body...

Not long after, a human girl who looked about thirteen or fourteen years old and had an indescribably delicate appearance stood in front of Ke Lan.

She has no hair on her body, and every curve of her body interprets the actual concept of the four words "Golden Ratio", but it just rightly shows the youthful feeling of a girl, and her long pure white hair is like a waterfall It generally hangs down and extends below the heels of the legs.

"You finally came."

This is the third time Ke Lan heard this sentence, but this time, it did not come from the depths of his mind, but from the girl's mouth.

The girl landed on the ground with bare feet, and walked towards Ke Lan step by step. Where her feet touched, those fleshy membranes turned into snow-like ashes and floated up, and then they were frozen in midair in a blink of an eye. among.

The girl walked up to Ke Lan, she raised her head, and stretched out a hand to touch Ke Lan's cheek—at the moment when her soft fingertips touched Ke Lan's facial skin, the frozen time suddenly The circulation resumed, and Ke Lan also took a big step backwards, distanced himself from the girl.
