Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 46 The memory of the knife

"What are you... talking about?" Ke Lan looked at Asano Akira suspiciously, and then at the... knife in his arms.

Could this guy be a severe fetish and delusional disorder?

He had indeed heard that some soldiers imagined the guns in their hands to be some kind of beautiful girls, and called their wives to the weapons all day long... In the early years, there were also rumors that someone used a gun to commit suicide, but accidentally pulled the trigger, It just so happens that the gun is still loaded with bullets in the farce... ah no, tragedy.

"My knife is my eyes, it won't lie to me." Asano Akira said firmly.

"Ah this..." Ke Lan couldn't help falling into silence. This symptom seems to be late...

"I know you don't believe me," Asano Akira hesitated and said in a very low voice, "Can I go in and talk to you in detail? This is a secret."

"Uh...Okay." Ke Lan nodded quickly, even if Asano Akira didn't ask for it, he wouldn't leave anyone outside the door. After all, they were dead friendships.

"It might be a little messy inside..." Ke Lan put his eyes close to the door lock, the red light net swept across his iris, and with a crisp "click", the metal door opened a small crack.

"What do you want to drink? But I only have pure water and instant coffee here... Oh, and a case of lemon-flavored soda, but it should be expired for a long time..." Ke Lan pushed open the door and entered.

"Water will do."

Two aluminum alloy cups were placed on the dining table, which was less than one square meter in size, and the water in each cup was just below the [-]ml mark. Drinkable clean water is also a very valuable resource. , especially if the purification level is above the fourth level, this type of water has no radiation, no pollution, clear and transparent, and sweet taste. Of course, the price is also very considerable.

These two glasses of Grade [-] water are no longer cheaper than a bottle of "Roland Malt Craft".

If the hounds were here, they would definitely be able to scold "luxury".

"It's Grade [-] water," Asano Akira said.

"You must bring something good to entertain guests, right?" The only chair in the room was given to Asano Akira, and Ke Lan himself sat on the edge of the bed.

"Let's get down to business." Asano Akira put down the cup, "Have you heard of the mind power human experiment?"

Colin shook his head.

"I belonged to this experimental unit before."

"I thought your troops were all masters of cold weapons..." Ke Lan said, "But this power of mind... what is it?"

"This ability comes from the Alpha civilization. Some hunters found a device in the ruins that can multiply the mind power of creatures. People in the research institute found that when the mind power is strong to a certain extent, there will be a power that changes reality. ability."

"...Is this writing a fantasy novel?" Ke Lan almost choked on the water in his mouth, "Can I understand it here... When my mind is strong enough, I can 'everything comes true' ?"

"Almost. But it's not as miraculous as you described. With that equipment, at most, it can only be used to manipulate some weapons, such as swords, firearms, etc., using mind power."

"'Yujian Feixian'? Okay, it doesn't seem to be a fantasy novel...it's a fairy..." Ke Lan glanced at Asano Akira's sword again, and asked tentatively: "Then...then you can make it Are you flying?"

"I can't do it." Asano Akira's hand gently stroked the scabbard, "but it has my mind imprinted on it, it is a part of my body."

"...To be honest, Asano, I don't quite understand this...this..." Ke Lan suddenly found that he was at a loss for words.

"They tried to expand the human mind to the limit, to that extent, maybe everything you said can be realized... But the experiment failed, including everyone involved in the experiment was a failure, no one succeeded , many people died, and more people went crazy... The closer to that threshold, the worse the outcome, and my ability is almost the bottom of all the experimental subjects, so the price I pay is very small." Asano Akira pointed out Pointing to his eyes.

"Are you blind because of this?"

"Well. My eyes are actually intact, but the area of ​​my brain responsible for vision is completely necrotic. That's the price."

Akano Asano continued: "The experimental unit was disbanded, all materials were sealed, and the experimental subjects who lost their minds were dealt with. People like me were asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement. If it leaked, the people in the security bureau would... "

"Etc., etc!"

Ke Lan jumped up immediately, walked to the door, added three combination locks in a row, then fastened the anti-theft chain, then dragged out a dusty machine from under the bed, plugged it in, and turned on the switch. .

A slight "hum" was immediately sent out of the machine.

"What is this? An air purifier?" Akano Asano asked with a slight movement of his ears.

"No, it's just a jammer, it can interfere with all monitoring devices within 20 meters - Cooper!"

"Yes, my master." A neutral voice sounded in the room. This is the smart housekeeper that Ark has equipped for each resident, and it is presented with the room.

"Disconnect from network, close all background programs, go to sleep mode."

"Including temperature control equipment and air filters? That could adversely affect the owner's health."

"Yes, turn them off, then you can go to sleep and wake up in an hour!" Ke Lan said.

"Yes, Master." Cooper's voice disappeared, and at the same time, the room suddenly became a lot colder.

"...Huh." Ke Lan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said helplessly, "Since it's a deadly secret, why did you just say it like that!"

"...Sorry." Asano Akira's face showed a very rare light red.

"It's alright, it's alright, go ahead... I just said, yes, when it comes to the disbanding of the troops, you all signed a non-disclosure agreement."

"My thoughts are imprinted into this knife, you can think of it as a part of my body, an extension of my arm." Akano Asano grabbed the scabbard and raised the knife flat in front of him.

"Huh? Then?"

"In the ruins that day, you said that I was separated from you. Later, you and Layton encountered a centipede-like monster in a stone room, and the monster had the same face as me."

"Yes, just when Layton and I were about to give it for nothing, you suddenly rushed out, fought that monster for [-] rounds, slashed the guy with a knife, and then brought us to the huge stone gate. ."

"I don't have any of the things you described in my memory. I clearly remember that I have always been with you. We have never encountered that monster or fought in the stone room, and that stone gate was also discovered by everyone together." Asano Zhao's voice was a little low.

"So you all said that what I saw was an hallucination... I also returned to the stone room with the old dog and Layton, but I didn't find any traces of fighting there..." Ke Lan recalled, "So even myself I don't know whether what I see is real or unreal."

"Although I don't have those memories, my knife has..."

"Your knife...has a memory, could it be refined?" Ke Lan's face was a little strange.

"No... it's just the memory of the battle." Asano Akira suddenly unsheathed the sword, and gently stroked the fingers of his left hand along the ridge of the sword.

"There were a total of 110 seven collisions. The last move was to slash the cassock, step back, turn the wrist and draw the sword, first cut off the enemy's weapon, and then cut off the head." Akira Asano said.

"..." The strange expression on Ke Lan's face disappeared, and he sat upright with some seriousness, looking directly at Asano Showa's knife.

In his previous description of the "phantom", he never mentioned these details, but Akano Asano described it exactly.

"Except for you, the memories of all of us have been tampered with."
