Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 70 Strange Warning
"Let's talk about this," Ke Lan half-kneeled and put his upper body into the diving cabin, "If there is danger, we will choose to give up."

"...I'm afraid that it will be too late when they are in danger." Caroline said angrily, how could this group of people be so clueless, so many people have already died, they have to get together to send another wave of people's heads .

Really good words can't persuade the damn ghost!
Just when Caroline was thinking about how to make them completely dismiss this idea, Ke Lan's voice suddenly came from the diving cabin.

"First Officer Caroline...Are you sure that the security bureau has really checked this diving cabin carefully?"

His tone was very strange, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Caroline squatted down while controlling the power armor and looked into the diving cabin.

"...There is something engraved on the inner wall of the diving cabin, give me the flashlight." Ke Lan said.

Liao Zilang immediately found a flashlight and handed it in.

"How is that possible?!" Caroline was very surprised. If there was really something engraved on the inner wall of the diving cabin, the security bureau would definitely cut the steel plate and take it away. There is absolutely no reason to leave it there. Here... Could it be that they didn't find these things?That makes no sense!
"What's engraved on it?" she couldn't help asking.

It was a line of crooked English letters. The font was extremely deformed. The engraver seemed to be in a state of extreme mental instability when he carved this line of letters. Several letters even overlapped.

However, Ke Lan still managed to recognize the letters. All the letters were connected together, which was exactly three words.

"LEAVE THE BED"

"Leave...the...bed?" Ke Lan read out word by word.

"Leave... this bed?" Caroline was stunned, she knew every word, and could read the sentences together, but in the current situation, it made her feel completely Confused, "What... what does this mean?"

"Bed doesn't necessarily mean a bed for sleeping, it also means seabed." Ke Lan said solemnly, "So the meaning of this sentence should be to keep us away from that seabed... This is a warning."

Ke Lan always felt that something was wrong. He seemed to have left out some important details, but he couldn't figure out what went wrong, which made him/her feel this strange.

Is it because the security agency didn't erase or take away the clue?No... He has already taken this doubt into consideration, but the strange feeling does not come from this...

"Warning?" Caroline thought for a moment. "Is it left by the dead man? On the verge of despair?"

"This possibility is not ruled out." Ke Lan nodded slightly, his fingers traced along the handwriting of these letters, trying to restore the mental state of the engraver at the time... No, that emotion doesn't look like despair...

People in despair would not have the intention to carve such warnings on the inner wall of the diving cabin, what's more, the deceased was an elite agent of the Security Bureau. This kind of person has received very cruel psychological training. If there is any information left by the opportunity, they will only choose useful information as much as possible, rather than this kind of "warning" of unclear meaning.

Moreover, these handwritings are not coherent, such as the letter H, the left vertical and the right vertical are separated by a distance of four or five centimeters, if not for the two letters T in front and E in the back, It is also difficult for ordinary people to associate these notches with the letter H.

Ke Lan also thought about whether this might be caused by the turbulence of the environment, but then he noticed that the depths of these nicks were almost the same, that is to say, they were in a relatively stable environment. Engraved, and how illegible the letters become, it can only be a problem of the engraver.

"It's so weird..."

Ke Lan repeated these handwritings over and over again, and he suddenly found that these distorted letters were very similar to the handwriting of children when they were just starting to learn to write. In those children's heads, they didn't even have the concept of words and symbols. , they just see it as a special kind of "picture".

There is neither the order of strokes nor the structure of the font, each letter looks like a ghost drawing...

The letters engraved on the inner wall of the diving cabin are exactly like this.

This kind of situation should not happen to a normal and illiterate adult human being. For Ke Lan himself, reading and writing have become almost instinctive, even when he is drowsy, he writes with his eyes closed. The characters are also much easier to recognize than these letters...

and many more!Instinct... Instinct is missing...

Ke Lan was shocked. He had only experienced this kind of unspeakable pain just once. Could it be that the person who wrote the letter had a similar experience?

Could all this have anything to do with that black skeleton?
Thinking of this, Ke Lan immediately said to Caroline: "By the way, when will the analysis report of the black skeleton just now be known? To be honest, I am actually very curious about that kind of monster."

"It will take at least half a day to send things back, and then a series of related procedures will take half a day... As for the analysis report, it will come out the day after tomorrow at the earliest." Caroline thought for a while and replied.

"Well, if the report comes out, please notify me immediately."

……

In the next hour, Ke Lan carefully inspected the diving cabin again, but apart from the "warning" engraved on the inner wall, he could not find any valuable clues.

Those people in the security bureau were so mad that they didn't even leave a hair behind, but...why did they let the warning on the inner wall stay there?

Those letters were hard to read, but they were so conspicuous that there was no reason not to be spotted.

Or...the line of letters hadn't appeared on the inner wall after the Security Bureau left?
Thinking of this possibility, Ke Lan suddenly felt the hairs on his back stand up... If that's the case, who carved these letters?

"First Officer Caroline, has anyone else entered this cargo hold before us? I mean after the security bureau closed this place down."

"No." Caroline shook her head decisively. "If you want to open the cargo hold, you can only use this key card, but this key card has always been in the cabinet in the captain's room."

Although the entire No. [-] cargo hold is not small, the entire space is still unobstructed. Except for the only door, there are no other passages. The diameter of the only ventilation duct is only [-] cm, and the pipes are welded with steel mesh. It is impossible to use it as a secret passage if it is dead.

"I mean... is it possible that someone stole the key card, or that the hatch was opened in some other way."

"The captain's room is monitored. If someone sneaks in, they will definitely be found. As for other ways to open the hatch, it will directly trigger the alarm system."

"That is to say, we are the first people to enter the No. [-] cargo compartment after the people from the Security Bureau left?"

"Yes... what do you want to ask?" Caroline said with a hint of helplessness, "Could it be that you think these letters are a prank by a certain crew member? Please... no one would do such a boring thing. , and, at the risk of being fired."

"Maybe I'm thinking too much..." Before leaving cargo hold No. [-], Ke Lan glanced at the diving cabin for the last time. He always felt that he was almost able to get in touch with the truth. One step away, he still failed to step out of this fog.

　No prize quiz, who do you think will engrave these letters?
