Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 479
This space gives people a very weird feeling, but it doesn't seem to be dangerous. The ambient temperature is about [-] degrees, and the oxygen content in the air is also very sufficient. Even without power armor and protective clothing, humans can still live in this place. stay alive.

Ke Lan simply sat down on the ground and thought about a way to break the situation.

The fear of darkness has been engraved in human genes since the ancient times of the earth, and during the 900 years of interstellar drifting, the dark cosmic space has left an indelible shadow in the memory of this race—darkness often It means danger and death, which is derived from instinctive fear, especially in a completely unfamiliar environment.

But for some reason, after getting used to the darkness, Ke Lan felt that this space gradually became more intimate... It was like returning to the mother's womb, and even the creepy tentacle wriggling sounds were like It became the sound of amniotic fluid squeezing and flowing around the embryo.

"Strange...why do I feel this way?" Ke Lan thought to himself, "The feeling of returning to the mother's body...Is it an artificial womb made of metal and glass and filled with liquid nutrients?"

He closed his eyes, trying to recall the feeling of breathing in the sticky nutrient solution... but found that those memories have long been blurred, more than 20 years have passed, and the only impression of his childhood is that of human cultivation That harsh light on the center ceiling.

The lights are really harsh.

He's been wanting to turn off the glowing thing.

Only a dark environment can make him feel safe and comfortable.

As for many times, when Ke Lan was alone in his small house, he turned off the lights, firstly to save electricity bills, and secondly because he was born with an indescribable rejection of bright places.

For him, darkness represented not danger, but safety.

He closed his eyes, although in this space, it made no difference whether he closed his eyes or not.

Some chaotic memory fragments began to flood into his mind, some belonged to him, and some did not belong to him—the information from the stele of Alpha Civilization—this dark space seemed to give them an inexplicable sense of security, they did not No more fear, no more hiding...

Ke Lan felt that he seemed to be stuffed into a cold glass jar, and a liquid with a strong bloody smell scrambled into his nasal cavity, poured into the air duct and lungs, and his limbs were shackled and imprisoned Then, the thin blade was clamped at the end of the mechanical arm, which was so precise that it didn't look like a human creation, and it went in and out in the dead corner of his vision...

Is this a memory fragment from the Alpha civilization?Is it the first perspective of some kind of live biological experiment?

Ke Lan thought so, but when he moved down, he saw his feet.

It was a pair of human feet with a complete skeleton structure, and bruised and purple blood vessels could be vaguely seen under the skin. The ten toes may have been swollen due to being soaked in the liquid for too long. Flesh tones provide a stark contrast.

Ke Lan saw an inconspicuous mole on the outside of the little toe of his right foot.

His breathing stopped suddenly.

On his body, at the same position, there is also a mole of almost the same size.

This is not a fragment from the stele...is this my own memory?

But Ke Lan never remembers being soaked in such a jar... This glass jar is obviously not a medical cabin, and the transparent liquid in front of him is not LCL, which is commonly known as "water of life", but another completely different organic substance. mixture……

Judging from the size of the feet, the "self" in this memory fragment is obviously already an adult, so the facilities of the human cultivation center can basically be ruled out...

Is it a fragment of some nightmare?Or is it that my memory merged with the things in the stele, and the two got confused with each other?
Could it be that subconsciously, he substituted himself into the subjective perspective of a memory that did not belong to him?

He tried to search for more information from this memory, but found that the world outside the glass jar was completely blank.

The glass jar is transparent, not much thicker than the glass slides used in the laboratory, but Ke Lan can't see the outside scene at all - this is like a sandbox game, the scope of the game is only limited to the glass jar , that thin and transparent glass is the boundary of the map, outside the boundary is an endless void without any modeling and textures.

That is "the unobservable world".

Why did this memory appear suddenly? Could it have something to do with this dark space?
Ke Lan opened his eyes, but the surroundings were still in darkness, and the sound of the tentacles wriggling never disappeared.

He didn't have any clue about the memory fragment just now, but for the current predicament, he thought of a way to break the situation.

Regardless of whether it works or not, at least you can try it.

Ke Lan clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and held his breath.

If the darkness and silence are due to the shielding of one's own senses, then the self in the state of pause may be able to break free from it.

He raised his hand, pointed his index finger forward, and held the other four fingers in the shape of a chicken paw. The signature ability of the "stand-in" is "time stop".

"Smash Valudo!"

Unbearable pain instantly filled the cranial cavity, and the surrounding darkness instantly faded away, turning into a gray and white world, just like an overexposed black and white photo.

Dark gray lines outline the outline of the tunnel, and the edges of the lines have blurred and thick shadows, as if some kind of special filter has been added.

About five meters in front of Ke Lan, stood a humanoid silhouette—its upper body was a human being, but its lower body was a mass of wriggling tentacles. I thought that the "voice" I had been hearing was coming from it. passed on."

Ke Lan gritted his teeth, suppressed his headache, and raised a hand towards the silhouette of the human figure—almost at the same time, the other party also raised the corresponding arm.

"This thing... can move within a time stop?!"

As soon as this idea came to Ke Lan's head, the duration of the pause ended. He put his hands on his knees, panting heavily, sweat slipped down his jaw, and dripped into his neckline.And the close-fitting clothes he was wearing were already soaked through the back and chest.

This time, it stopped for almost [-] seconds, which was a new record, but Ke Lan couldn't be happy at all.

That humanoid silhouette standing five meters in front of him...what the hell is it?
Why can he move while stopping?

Why did it immediately follow suit when it raised its hand?

Is it a creature, or is it a hallucination in front of my eyes?
