Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 481 The Shadow of Swap!
Could it be that the "shadow" seen in the time-stop state is one of these humanoid creatures?
Is this the creation of the Alphas?
Or... are they the true appearance of Alpha people?

Thinking of this possibility, Ke Lan's breathing became a little faster in an instant.

In the 50 years since humans landed on Planet Alpha, thousands of relics have been excavated, and more than 1 million literature items have been transported from the relics alone, but it is still unknown what the Alpha people look like.

And Ke Lan, who has obtained the inheritance from the stone tablet, also has not seen the true face of the Alpha in those memory fragments.

The creatures that once ruled this planet are even more mysterious than those powerful primordial species.

Although traces of their life are spread all over the planet, experts and scholars can only get a glimpse of them—their dwelling structure is very similar to that of human beings. They not only have furniture such as tables, chairs, and beds, but they can't find anything similar to eating or drinking. Utensils related to excretion.

Clothing, footwear, and the like have never been found. The only equipment that can be found is a collar made of metal with a crystal structure installed inside-of course, the statement of the collar is only the guesswork of experts.

The most puzzling thing is that in all the city ruins of the Alpha people, there are no medical institutions or buildings with similar functions. Furnace very similar equipment.

Some people think that this kind of creature can use the skin for photosynthesis, so it doesn't need to eat and excrete, and it doesn't need to wear clothes. Because of this characteristic, Alpha people probably don't feel that it is a shame to be naked in public.

As for why there are no hospitals, perhaps with their biotechnology, the restrictions on birth, old age, sickness and death have been lifted long ago. The genes of newborn individuals have been adjusted before they are born, enough to ensure that they will not suffer from any diseases before the end of their natural lifespan.

……

There are many, many speculations like this. In the electronic library of the Ark, there are more than [-] books on the life and society of the Alpha civilization. But they were all imagined by the editor out of thin air relying on very poor information. Many theories are simply untenable, and there are as many loopholes as the codes that the three-process programmers who just graduated stayed up late to type out.

But at least one thing is certain, Alpha people have many similarities with humans.

Ke Lan once took the "blasphemer mecha" of Alpha Civilization. At least the cockpit of that thing can be adapted to the shape of a human body, and the neural connection device equipped in it can also be applied to the human body.

Therefore, these humanoid creatures in the square may be those mysterious alpha human deities.

what are they doingIs it a military parade?
Ke Lan tried his best to recall the flashing images in his mind, trying to make those details as clear as possible...

He suddenly discovered that on the bodies of these creatures, there was a silicone tube connected to the neck about three centimeters below.Through the translucent material of the tube, one can vaguely see the light gray viscous liquid flowing inside, slowly pouring into their bodies.

Is this how alphas eat?

If the internal structure of the upper body of these creatures is similar to that of humans, the position of this silicone tube is just inserted into the esophagus. From the texture point of view, the gray liquid food is more in line with the standard of nasal feeding nutrients that do not require chewing and are easy to absorb.

If these "alpha people" are really eating, then this square is actually equivalent to an open-air canteen?
The area of ​​this square is not small, it is roughly a square with a side length of about one kilometer. If this square is located on the surface of Alpha Planet, it should have been discovered by Ark's detection drone long ago.

But in Ke Lan's memory, from the S-level ruins at the top of the pyramid to the lowest F-level ruins, which were almost removed by the rating committee several times, there is no such square.

Perhaps, this square has been destroyed... Or maybe, like the remains of a glacier, it sank deep into the ground?

These memory fragments will jump out at this time, is it because this strange space and strange phantom just meet certain trigger conditions?

Although I don't know why Valkyrie's electromagnetic sniper cannon hits the tumor-like protrusion, I will be teleported into this space, and I don't know why there is such a half-human, half-octopus monster in front of me, but there is one thing Ke Lan can be sure - the human silhouette seen in the "time stop" state is the same thing as the unknown creatures lined up in the square for cooking in the memory fragments.

If these creatures in the square were really "alpha people", wouldn't the one standing five meters in front of him be an extremely precious living sample?

Ke Lan suddenly had an idea of ​​wanting to "capture" this creature alive.

"I'm sorry, although you didn't show any hostility towards me, but there is nothing in this ghost place except you, so I can only use you as a breakthrough."

Ke Lan turned on "Time Stop", then aimed the claw launcher on the arm armor at the phantom's shoulder, and pressed the launch button.

There is a steel cable between the claw and the launcher as a connection, so even if it is launched, it will not be fixed. The sharp tip pierced through the right shoulder of the phantom in an instant, and the four barbs opened in an instant. Obstructively cut into the opponent's body.

At this moment, a sharp pain suddenly came from under Ke Lan's right shoulder blade. The muscle tissue in this part seemed to be torn apart by something, and Ke Lan immediately retreated from the "time-stop" state.

As soon as the "time stop" was released, the claws that had been fixed immediately lost their target and quickly retracted into the launcher.Ke Lan endured the pain and removed the armor on his right shoulder.

He stretched out his hand to touch the part where the severe pain came from. It was a bloody wound that ran from the front of the shoulder blade to the back.

Ke Lan's heart suddenly "thumped".

He gritted his teeth and poked his finger in through the wound. Deep in the wound, he felt four cuts in different directions, which corresponded to the four barbs on the claw...

"I hit that phantom that was suspected to be an Alpha man with my claws, but the wound appeared on my own body?"

Ke Lan's heart was full of fear—even though the wound had begun to heal, and even though the pain had gradually subsided, the unspeakable sense of oppression gradually swallowed him up.

Why does the damage I caused to that phantom reflect back on myself?

There was no damage to the power armor's shoulder armor, and even the inner lining was intact. This wound appeared completely out of thin air.

What is the principle of this?
Assuming this is the case, why didn't there be any holes in his body when he shot the phantom twice before?
wrong!The two conditions are not equal!

Ke Lan subconsciously touched the retracted claw—after the "time stop" was released, the claw had already hit the claw and lost its target, that is to say... that phantom is no longer there. Naturally, the one just shot It's also impossible for a bullet to hit it.

In other words, this phantom, only in the "time-stop" state, will it have the "entity" that can be hit?
No, not right!
It has no body!It wasn't that phantom that was hit!But Ke Lan himself!

That phantom is more like Ke Lan's shadow, a shadow whose perspective is reversed from Ke Lan's!
