Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 733 Super Eclipse
The meeting broke up quickly, but after everyone's projections were extinguished, there was one person who stayed.

The third "Queen" Demeter.

She is one of the members of the crew that Ke Lan has dealt with a lot, but in Ke Lan's heart, she cannot be regarded as a person who can be trusted [-]% - there is her shadow behind the meme infection incident... This seemingly dignified A calm lady, but in her bones she is an out-and-out radical.

"Your Excellency Demeter, do you have something to tell me alone?" Ke Lan stood up and walked towards her virtual projection.

"If the vote is always equal, the existence of the crew will lose its meaning. We will become like the administrative agencies of the old era, full of factional struggles and mutual constraints. Everyone plans for their own self-interest. Obscurity...if this continues, human civilization will surely decline." Demeter said to Ke Lan seriously.

Hmm... These words sound a bit like an iron lady...

Ke Lan nodded in agreement, and asked, "Then what do you decide to do?"

"This balance must be broken," Demeter said. "If voting doesn't solve the problem, then we solve the people who voted."

"Solve... the person who voted?"

"As long as there is one less member in the opposition camp... Even if the Fool ends up again, it is impossible to tie the votes."

Hearing Demeter say such a sentence, the corners of Ke Lan's eyes twitched violently.

Does she mean to plan an assassination?Killing a member of the Undead Crew of the Rebel faction...

Pan's death led to an imbalance between the two camps, and Ke Lan's joining and the fate of the Fool brought the balance back... And now, Demeter is actually planning to break the balance again by means of assassination.

"If you want to break the deadlock, you must use thunder." Demeter said seriously.

What do you call thunder?Ke Lan couldn't help complaining in his heart...Assassinate a member of the opposition, and then vote to decide the winner?
Is this woman brainless?Or, is she completely insane?

Does she think that when her side breaks the rules to make the rules beneficial to her, does the other party still foolishly continue to abide by the rules?

Has she considered the consequences of doing so?

If another member of the Undead Crew Club dies in an assassination, there is a high probability that it will lead to a split between the members of the two factions... Ark will instantly fall into the abyss of civil war, and the damage caused by the civil war is far beyond what an "Alexander" can do In comparison, no matter who wins in the end, human civilization will eventually decline in a very short period of time.

Taking a step back, even if the other party doesn't choose to directly tear themselves apart with them, then we can assassinate the members of the opposition party, and the opposition party can also assassinate members of Ke Lan's camp - I kill you one person, you kill me alone... ...Does it make sense to do this?
The real method of thunder should be to find out which of the villains in the opposing party are the inner ghosts, and then directly uproot all the inner ghosts before the opponent reacts, extinguish all signs of resistance, and let the inner ghosts follow up on all of them. All the plans were aborted - this is called the Thunder method.

As for Demeter's plan...

To say that she is small is flattering her. Ke Lan can only use two words to describe her: "reckless and stupid."

"I don't think it's a good idea," Ke Lan said.Seeing that everyone is an "ally" of the same camp, he still saved some face for Demeter, and didn't directly speak so harshly.

"Things that break the rules of the game will only make the organization of the Undead Crew Club exist in name only... Is this the situation you want to see?" Ke Lan asked her.

"But they are the first to break the rules." Demeter retorted, "Whether it's colluding with heresy sects, or secretly assassinating Pan... Now we are already in a passive state. If we can't take the initiative back as soon as possible Right, then our situation will only get worse."

"It's true that you want to take back the initiative, but can you answer a few questions for me first?" Ke Lan stared at the eyes of Demeter's virtual projection, and asked word by word: "Will the undead crew members know what to do?" Why did you send special forces to blow up the 'engine wreckage' built around Alpha Planet? What was the original function of these 'engine' wreckage? That's right, Alpha Civilization, how many secrets do you still hide from me?"

There was a flash of dodge in Demeter's eyes, although it was only a very short moment, Ke Lan still caught it - the virtual projection is different from the cyborg, the projection program can perfectly reflect the user's emotions caused by emotional fluctuations. Subtle changes, including expressions, eyes, and body movements...the reason for this is that the members of the Undead Crew used to think that they should be honest with each other...but as time goes by, everyone They have gradually become their own secrets, and this projection device is becoming less and less liked by the members of the crew.

This is also the main reason why most people have a poker face during the voting meeting, and they can't wait to turn off the projection after the voting is over.

The older they are, the thicker the masks they wear on their faces, and the stronger the barriers between them.

And once they got used to the mask, taking it off even for a moment made them feel uncomfortable.

"Sad." This was Ke Lan's evaluation of them.

They want to portray themselves as gods who are lofty and without sorrow or joy, but under the golden and gorgeous shell of the gods, there is rotten blood called selfish desire and conspiracy.

Ke Lan never regarded himself as a member of the Pro-Faction... Before he figured out those secrets, he would not tie himself to any chariot, and he knew very well in his heart that the relationship between Demeter and the others So I am willing to help myself, just because I still have value to them.

A pure use-to-use relationship.

"I can't tell you these things." Demeter finally shook his head, "You are a 'symbiont', and you have been watched by 'he', your body and consciousness have been severely damaged. Deep erosion, if you know those secrets at this time, there will be a high probability of attracting 'His' attention again... Even if you glance at you from the corner of your eye, your erosion may break through the safety threshold in an instant."

"How do you see the progress of the erosion?" Ke Lan asked.

"There is no specific standard, we can only rely on past experience to evaluate." Demeter replied.

"What will happen if you break through the safety threshold in your mouth?"

"I don't know." Demeter slowly shook her head.

"You don't know? Are you kidding me?" Ke Lan was a little stunned. His first reaction was that the other party didn't want to tell him the truth, but judging from the micro-expression of Demeter's virtual projection, she seemed to be telling the truth.

"There are many situations where the degree of erosion breaks through the safety threshold, and there are no rules to follow." Demeter explained, "Some people will die suddenly; some people will become monsters like the Seed of Corrosion and the Fusion Body ;Some people have a reaction similar to that of the black bishop's sacrificial ceremony. The most special case in the record is a symbiont... Yes, it is the same kind as you and Leininger (the prophet). After his body matured, his No .407 minutes broke through the safety threshold of the degree of erosion, and the whole person instantly exploded into a cloud of blood... But two seconds later, he quickly returned to his human form. During this gap, he could even call for help to the experimenters. But soon he turned into a blood mist again... This cycle was repeated 250 eight times in total, and when he exploded into a blood mist for the 250th ninth time, he never recovered his human form."

"It sounds like a scary ghost story." Ke Lan gave a very pertinent evaluation.

"Except for you and Leininger, the direct or indirect cause of death of all other symbionts is that the degree of erosion has exceeded the safety threshold. We named this situation 'super-erosion'... the specific state of each 'super-erosion' There is a lot of discrepancy, and only a small part of the repetition."

"In other words, 'Supereclipse' is equivalent to opening a blind box, and it is also a blind box with an undisclosed prize pool, right." Ke Lan rubbed the stubble on his chin like an old dog, and frowned Said.

"You can understand that."

"Then since Leininger and I became the only survivors in this group of 'symbionts', maybe it means that we are special?" Ke Lan originally wanted to say that he was the "chosen one", but after all, because Thin-skinned, he didn't say anything.

"You are the same as other symbionts, there is nothing special about you, it's just luck." Demeter glanced at him and said angrily, "Actually, in the East Ninth District incident, the first time you used At the time of the 'Holy Word', three warships aimed their main guns at you at an altitude of [-] meters—once you enter the 'super-eclipse' state, the plasma cannons will wipe you out immediately."

"It seems that my life has been under your surveillance." Although he had guessed it a long time ago, he was still a little unhappy after hearing Demeter say it himself.

"Of course." Demeter admitted readily.

"Then me and my fiancée...were you watching it during that time?"

Demeter didn't answer the question directly, but put it another way: "We are constantly monitoring Zofia Soma's physical condition, and if she has a pregnancy reaction, we will take emergency measures—"

"Emergency measures? Do you mean putting explosive anklets on my fiancée's feet?" Ke Lan's tone was tinged with anger. If Demeter was using a biochemical body instead of a virtual projection, Ke Lan would probably have already caught her. Hold each other's collar.

Dr. Renee's background is Demeter, which Pan told Ke Lan in the underground freezer.

"You don't want... your fiancée is pregnant for ten months and finally gave birth to a monster?" Demeter said calmly, "In your cognition, you have always been a member of human beings, which is very good ...But you can't ignore the fact that your genes are hugely different from those of normal humans, and we can't even rule out the possibility of reproductive isolation between you and humans."

"What about the meme infection incident?"

"That incident was Smith's dereliction of duty. I only gave him a certain level of authority, and did not allow him to directly fuse your clone cells with the cells of the Seed of Corrosion. It was his eagerness for success that led to the disaster. "

Ke Lan let out a sneer: "Hehe, you're so clean in throwing the blame..."

"I'm not throwing the blame away, I'm just stating the facts. And I've also assumed my responsibilities. For details, you can check the process record of the accountability procedure initiated by the crew not long ago." Demeter said.

"Can't you try it? I mean...'supereclipse'." Ke Lan no longer continued the topic just now, "Perhaps, that insignificant amount of information will not attract the attention of 'His'."

"You, as a member of the Undead Crew, we cannot take this risk."

"Then what if I voluntarily give up my membership in the Undead Crew?"

"That doesn't work either—first of all, if you are not a member of the Undead Crew, you are not qualified to know those secrets; second, you are the last remaining 'symbiont' in the world, and only by living can you create a better future for human civilization." It is of great value to use your life to conduct such a risky and meaningless experiment, this resolution will not be passed."

"I don't even have the right to kill myself, do I?"

"Yes."

[PS The descriptions of the fusion body in the last few chapters... many places had to be revised because of the suspected bloody descriptions, and these revised places have been completely changed.Although the original description is indeed very bloody and very forbidden, after reading Harmony, there is always a dry feeling, and the sense of picture is also weakened a lot... But I really have no choice, after all, the starting point is a platform for all ages, our country For the field of cultural creation, there has been no clear grading system, so all works can only be required according to the age standard.

After all, we must protect the flowers of our motherland, right...

If you want to read the original version, my suggestion is to update it and read it immediately. Otherwise, after two days, it will probably be the Harmony version. As for readers who are used to keeping books, then I have no choice... (But according to the recommendation from the current starting point The system, the proportion of follow-up reading is too high, please don’t keep it or don’t keep it as much as possible, it’s too easy to keep books now, especially the new books opened by small authors like me... After reading it, basically There will be no recommended resources.)
Also, I will not write novels containing Cthulhu elements if I am killed in the future. This kind of censorship is really unbearable... Maybe one day the whole book will be gone.

"Ugh……"

Writing a book is not easy, the author sighs. 】
