Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 66 Whispers
For Ke Lan, the language of the Alpha civilization is like an innate instinct. This language has been deeply imprinted into his thinking. He didn't even need to think, he has already said it——

It was a very hoarse-sounding hissing sound, just like the sound of a snake spitting out a letter. It was not from the vocal cords, not even from the throat... This hissing sound The whispers echoed in Ke Lan's brain, and the three other people seemed to have not heard them except himself.

"come over……"

"I order you to come here..."

He wasn't sure whether he was "speaking" or just "fantasizing", but the hissing whisper became louder and clearer... Ke Lan felt as though something was entangled in his head. A giant snake is constantly swallowing bright red letters...

The next second, the black skeleton rushed towards him, its arms spread out, as if it was about to hug Ke Lan, but the ten slender and sharp bone claws were aimed at him. The one that was folded inside—the moment it hugged Ke Lan, Ke Lan's body would be pierced and torn apart by these ten bone claws.

Can it "hear" the whispers echoing in its own head?Does it understand?Or... is this just its spontaneous aggressive behavior, which has nothing to do with its own attempts?
Ke Lan was still standing there in a daze and didn't move, Asano Akira had already rushed up with his blade, and the ten bone claws and the blade made of Nino alloy had collided dozens of times in the blink of an eye— - This time, the black skeleton did not choose the strategy of retreating with one blow, but fought with Asano Akira, the continuous trembling sound replaced the crisp collision between the sharp blades, and the speed of both sides increased in an instant. To the extreme, it even brought a string of afterimages.

"Its target isn't me!" Akano Asano said while swinging his knife, "Its attack hasn't exhausted its full strength... It has been looking for opportunities to get rid of me!"

"Ke Lan, looking at the posture of that thing just now, it's obviously coming towards you..." Liao Zilang raised his shield in front of Ke Lan's body, "It doesn't make sense, you haven't even attacked it."

"Maybe I think I'm the weakest one... After all, persimmons have to be soft." Ke Lan casually made up a reason.

"Does this thing still have the ability to distinguish between strong and weak? It doesn't even have eyes?" Caroline said in a puzzled way.

"Who knows...Is there any weirdness in this thing?" Ke Lan stepped back under the cover of Liao Zilang. At the same time, he ordered the black skeleton again in the language of Alpha Civilization -

"Stop attacking...I order you to stop attacking immediately..."

"Ah!" Ke Lan suddenly felt a needle-like pain in the depths of his head, staggered under his feet, and fell back to the ground... I don't know if it was an illusion. The body of the black skeleton.

He seemed to see a dense blade of light coming towards him, Akano Asano pursed his lips tightly, his face expressionless...

What exactly is going on?

"Are you all right?" Caroline on the side quickly helped Ke Lan up from the ground.

"It's alright... I accidentally tripped over a rivet..." Ke Lan raised his head and saw a bone claw that was cut off by the roots lying on the ground not far away. I saw some transparent semi-fluid substance dripping out of it and dripping on the ground.

"When did Akano Asano cut off that bone claw? Why didn't I notice it just now?" Ke Lan turned his head and asked.

"Just now, the moment you fell, there was a momentary pause in the movement of the thing. Akano Asano originally wanted to cut off the spine directly, but the thing recovered quickly, at the cost of a bone claw. Blocked Asano Akira's attack." Liao Zilang replied.

A momentary pause?Could it be the moment when he just shifted his perspective?
Could it be that he can really invade into the consciousness of that black skeleton?

Ke Lan's heartbeat couldn't help speeding up a bit. He forced himself to stand up straight and broke free from Caroline's support... If he really could carry out a conscious invasion, would he be able to control that? With a black skeleton?

Just when he tried to try again, he was stunned to find that he had temporarily lost the ability to "language" - the acupuncture-like violence just made a mess in his mind, although his consciousness was very clear, But there was a huge blank in my brain.

This blank space made him feel at a loss, as if a normal person suddenly forgot how to open his mouth to speak...

In medicine, this symptom is called "aphasia". The cause of aphasia is that the part of the patient's brain responsible for language function has been damaged or diseased. Understand the meaning contained in the words of others.

This symptom has nothing to do with the sense organs. It is a cognitive language disorder. Just like Ke Lan now, he can recall every character and syllable in the alpha language, but he cannot connect these characters and syllables in series. into a complete sentence.

This kind of feeling is very uncomfortable, this blank is almost driving Ke Lan crazy, the unspeakable hysteria makes him on the verge of collapse...

"Are you okay? You... your breathing seems to be very short?" Caroline asked worriedly.

"I... I'm fine..." Ke Lan shook his head vigorously, but he was completely unconvincing, not only was his breathing quickened, but his whole body began to tremble slightly.

The blank space in the brain seemed to have turned into a black hole, devouring everything frantically. The more Ke Lan cared about it, the faster it devoured!
If this continues, even Ke Lan's self-consciousness will soon be annihilated in it...

no!It must be stopped... However, it seems that only by forgetting it completely can the speed of the black hole swallowing be slowed down, but in this case, how can we forget it?
It's like seeing something extremely terrifying. The more you want to forget it, the more profound the memory will be.

The more Ke Lan resisted, the stronger the gravitational pull of that black hole...

"Caroline! Give me the emergency cooling tank of your power armor!" Ke Lan gritted his teeth and said, his grim expression almost startled the female first officer.

"...You, what are you doing?" Caroline asked, but she still pulled the emergency cooling tank out of the slot and handed it to Ke Lan.

The emergency cooling tank is filled with liquid nitrogen below zero, which is used to cool the overheated power armor in an emergency.

"Go and kill that guy!" Ke Lan grabbed the cooling can and rushed towards the black skeleton that was still fighting with Akano Asano without looking back!
Only madness can suppress madness - instead of fighting that black hole in your consciousness, just leave it behind!
