Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 487 Teleportation

The object of the "Holy Word" may not necessarily be in the universe known to mankind... That gaze that still scares Ke Lan, since it can cross countless planes and easily see the eternal and unchanging eyes of human beings The physical iron interferes, so it is not very difficult to "teleport" a monster with "ultra-purity crystals" in its body to this space.

The existence of that level is like the ancient gods who opened up chaos in the legends of the wild, and it is impossible to describe them in human language...

Ke Lan once saw such a description in a strange novel:
They are indescribable existences, if humans hear their names, they will instantly fall into madness;
They are existences that cannot be seen directly. If human beings look directly at their real bodies, flames will burst out of their eyes, and their entire bodies will be burned to death;

They have been sleeping, so the race as small as dust can live in the mud; and when they wake up, the whole world will be destroyed.

……

Although common exaggeration is used in the novel, as far as Ke Lan's personal experience is concerned, this description is not exaggerated at all.

……

"That kind of sacrificial ceremony is completely against the laws of physics." Aya also agreed deeply, "The research institute has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in order to study this subject, and a dozen of various special groups have been formed. There are more than [-] senior researchers involved in the project..."

"So what did the research come up with?" asked the Hound.

"I have no idea." Aya shook her head helplessly, "There is no way to start the research project. It has been several months now, and there is no substantial progress."

"Is it that exaggerated?" the hound said dumbfounded.

"If the research institute hadn't often entrusted our Security Bureau to collect relevant clues, I would never have known about the existence of this subject... If they can come up with any results, then our Security Bureau must be the first to know the solution. But Now, for this kind of monster summoned by the sacrificial ceremony, there is still only one sentence in the action manual."

"A word of what?" the Hound continued.

"Concentrate firepower to suppress and kill." Ke Lan answered this question for Aya. He has read the entire archives of the Security Bureau, and he has also paid attention to the content related to the sacrificial ceremony, but as Aya said, even if It was the people from the Security Bureau who encountered this situation, and there was no effective way to deal with it.

"Can't we interrupt him during the sacrifice?" The hound asked, "If you kill that person, won't the monster be summoned?"

"Yes, but the situation will only get worse." Ke Lan said.

A researcher once suggested that the sacrificial sacrifice could be killed during the sacrificial ceremony, maybe the ceremony could be interrupted, and the Security Bureau also made an attempt in this regard—they were in an exile camp controlled by a heretic sect Under their deliberate guidance, this "black-robed bishop" stood out from the encirclement, and was surrounded by a special agent team ambushing outside the camp, forcing him into a desperate situation.

(PS Secret Service Team refers to the Special Task Team. The original meaning of the word is used here, not the extended meaning developed later.)
The black-robed bishop is a very special person in the heretical sect. They wear black robes similar to ordinary congregants, but as long as you observe carefully, you can see the difference between the two: the bishop's black robe is a long It can mop the floor, and it is full of weird patterns. As for the black robe wrapped around the congregation, it is just a piece of black cloth with a few stitches, and there is a strict limit on the length—— Under certain circumstances, it is not allowed to exceed the ankle position.

In addition, there is another biggest difference between the black-robed bishop and the congregation, that is, they have the ability to use the "Holy Word" (according to the official description of the Security Bureau, they have the ability to launch the "Second Type Sacrifice Ceremony" ability, as for the "a type of sacrificial ceremony" refers to the ability of the container of the seed of erosion to kill itself), this ability is much more difficult to prevent than the container with the seed of erosion parasitic in the body - the latter only needs a simple inspection It can be discovered, and the body of the former is no different from that of a normal human being.

It is also because of this that Park Sangyou was able to hide from the heavy checks.

The black-robed bishops only need to read the corresponding spell to start the sacrificial ceremony, and the mission of the secret service team is to find a way to force the black-robed bishop to initiate the sacrifice, and then interrupt it by killing him. ceremony.

The members of the secret service team first used electric shock traps to trap the black-robed bishop, immobilizing him, and then broke his legs with bullets. It takes ten minutes to kill.This was done to stop the black-robed bishop from wanting to live, and to force him to use his last trump card.

Up to this point, the plot is still going according to the designed script - the black-robed bishop has no hope of escape, he recites the "holy words" and begins the sacrificial ceremony.

After confirming that the black-robed bishop was really performing a "sacrifice ceremony" and not talking about other things, the sniper of the secret service team simply blasted his head off, and then, the light gunboat that had been on standby in the sky Carry out a round of ground-cleaning bombing directly at the position of the electric shock trap.

However, an accident happened at this time - a spherical storm suddenly appeared in the area centered on the black-robed bishop, and it expanded rapidly, swallowing the unexpected spy team, even the gunboats suspended in the air None of them were spared, and were directly smashed into pieces.

The inducement troops who were in charge of attacking the exile's camp were able to survive because they were relatively far away. According to eyewitnesses' descriptions, the inside of the storm was completely dark. Like a torn space.

The gunboat also tried to escape the storm at first, but as soon as the storm touched the stern, the four main propellers exploded at the same time, and then the whole gunboat was dragged to the center of the storm.

Although it is only a light gunboat, it is also a military-grade warship. The protection measures of the main propeller are not comparable to those of civilian ships. Even if it is directly hit by a [-]mm cannon, it is not a problem, but it is easily destroyed by the storm. .

The armor with a thickness of several hundred centimeters and the main keel with a diameter of more than three meters, like a paper membrane of equal proportions, was folded and crushed by the irresistible force.

Some people say that it is not a hurricane at all, but a "space storm" that has changed the color of the drifting years.

The term "space storm" first appeared in the fictional novels of the old era, but when human beings' footprints really stepped into the universe, they discovered that the space storm in reality is far more terrifying than in the novel.

But space storms are terrifying, and this rare phenomenon can only appear in space. During the 900 years of human drifting, no space storms appearing on planets have ever been observed.

This is because, as long as there is a space storm on a planet, the planet will inevitably be destroyed—the space storm can easily destroy an entire star system, and its destructive power is even no less than that of a supernova explosion. Emanated energy.

The biggest difference between a space storm and a black hole lies in the intensity—the black hole just continuously absorbs the surrounding matter and energy into it, while the space storm constantly tears out countless fleeting space rifts.Each space crack is equivalent to an extremely unstable small black hole.

In that report, a "?" was marked behind the space storm, which meant that the official did not approve of this statement - the storm's range was less than three kilometers, and it had never been observed in human history Such a small space storm, and even if it is only three kilometers in diameter, the characteristics of the space storm are enough to destroy Alpha Star.

But the "?" mark also means that the officials have not completely rejected this possibility... Even the research institute can't determine what the storm that only existed for a few seconds is.

Later, similar "interruption experiments" were carried out several times, and each time the situation was different, but one thing was the same: interrupting the sacrificial ceremony would basically lead to disastrous consequences. Strong, it is completely random, without any rules to follow.

Once they tried to kill the sacrificer when the first word of the sacrificial prayer was uttered. As a result, the temperature within a radius of one kilometer dropped to minus 270 three degrees Celsius, which is the "absolute temperature" in the concept of thermodynamics. Zero", the absolute zero lasted for a full fifteen seconds, and no one survived the impact.

In another experiment, the members of the secret service team killed the sacrificer after performing the ritual for ten seconds, but it only caused a small-scale explosion. Except for the sacrificer's body being turned into ashes, the secret service team had nothing to do. One casualty.

After paying a large number of human lives as a price, unless there are special circumstances, the agents of the Security Bureau will rarely choose to interrupt the sacrificial ceremony. They would rather fight the summoned monsters than face a completely unknown terrorist force.

Interrupting the sacrificial ceremony is completely a life-gambling act, which may cause a group to be wiped out, or nothing may happen.

The reason why Ke Lan chose to shoot at the rescue cabin was actually a gamble—in his opinion, if Park Sang-woo succeeds in sacrificing something and summoning something, the reconnaissance team trapped in this tunnel is likely to Will be slaughtered to death, rather than this, it is better to gamble.

It's a pity that the bullet failed to penetrate the porthole of the rescue cabin, so he never had the chance to know what the consequences would be if he interrupted Park Sangyou's sacrifice.

But now it seems that this situation is not bad, at least the summoned monster is dead, and the price paid by the reconnaissance team is far less than Ke Lan expected.

The most important thing is that this also allowed Ke Lan to get the key item to escape from the tunnel-the "black fruit core" used to store energy in the monster's body.

"Having said so much, how do we get out?" The hound's gaze rested on the "black fruit core" picked up by Ke Lan, "Even if the energy contained in this thing is enough to open an artificial wormhole, then we don't have to Corresponding equipment. You said there is a teleportation mechanism here, but where is this mechanism? Why can’t I find it?”

The architectural style of the tunnel is very simple, what is on the wall, floor and ceiling can be seen at a glance, and the joints between the metal plates are also tightly stitched. Just by observing with the eyes, there is no hidden mechanism at all.

"It's right in front of our eyes." Ke Lan walked to the crystal groove on one side.

"Isn't that thing used for lighting?" The hound said in amazement, "You mean, this thing can also be used...for teleportation?"

He looked incredible.

"In that abnormal space, I saw some memory fragments of Park Shangyou. He once put an ultra-purity crystal into such a groove." Ke Lan said.

Because of the presence of security bureau agents, he attributed this ability to the head of the abnormal space, but the hound immediately recognized the hidden meaning in Ke Lan's words, and nodded immediately: "So this kid is like this!" escaped!"

The hunting dog trusts Ke Lan's ability very much. At least so far, there has been no deviation in the "unknown source" information.

But just when Ke Lan was about to put the "black core" into the groove, Layton suddenly stood up: "Ke Lan! Wait a minute!"

"What's wrong?" Ke Lan turned to look at him.

"The energy shields of Valkyrie and I are still cooling down, at least wait for our cooling down before putting them on," Layton said.

The explosion of the converter just now almost caused the reconnaissance team to overturn the car. If it happened again, without the protection of the energy shield, even if it retreated hundreds of meters, it would still be affected by the arc.

On the other side that had no energy shield defense just now, the arc spread at least 150 meters away.

……

"Okay, the shield generator has cooled down, and I have replaced the energy crystals with brand new ones." Layton raised his mechanical arm and nodded to Ke Lan cautiously.

"My shield has also been fully charged." Valentina's voice sounded through the earphones.

"Okay, then I'll let it go." Ke Lan took a deep breath, pushed the "black core" into the groove, and quickly dodged behind Layton.

There was no explosion or raging electric arc—the lights in the tunnel began to flicker from the third second after the "black fruit core" was put into the groove. As soon as Ke Lan raised his head, he found that the surrounding scene was blurred, and then , The narrow space suddenly became spacious!
They literally got teleported!

"It's really useful, let's escape—" before the word "come" escaped from the hound's mouth, the words stopped abruptly—they did leave the tunnel, but they did not return to the molten fire mine area.

"What kind of place is this?" Aya looked around, sizing up this space that was completely different from the tunnel.

This is an extremely open space, at least several kilometers long and wide, with a flat and smooth dome overhead, and less than a hundred meters ahead, there is a square and huge pit.

Layton quickly measured the distance with a laser—this space is 8400 meters long, 5500 meters wide, and the height of the dome is 350 meters. As for the huge crater directly in front, it is a square with a side length of 1600 meters.

"Look! It's the research institute's vehicle!" An agent shouted——on the edge of the huge pit, there was a shuttle-shaped metal vehicle with a damaged shell, and a human body was lying on the edge of the vehicle. Less than ten meters away.

"Ivan, I will hand over the body to you; Zhuoligetu and Layton, check this vehicle, and don't let go of all valuables, whether it is data files or supplies. If the vehicle can Use it, just try to repair it, dismantle it if you can't repair it, and take away all the parts that can be used." Ke Lan said, "Old dog, Team Leader Breya, follow me to this pit to have a look."

Ivan, Layton, and Zhuo Ligetu immediately ran towards the vehicle and the corpse with the tools, while the three of Ke Lan walked carefully to the edge of the huge pit.

This giant pit is not empty.

Inside the pit, there are many huge cubic crystal pillars inserted neatly, the height of each pillar is flush with the edge of the giant pit, and the distance between each other is exactly the same.

What concerned Ke Lan most is that the texture of these crystal pillars seems to be exactly the same as the energy crystals that can be seen everywhere in the ruins of the Alpha civilization!
