Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 769

"All the information associated with the great gods will bear the imprint of the gods. This is one of the eternal truths in the universe."

"The more a biological individual absorbs this type of information, the more 'imprints' will accumulate in the body... This is a change at a high-dimensional level, but it will also affect the form that a biological individual can observe under normal conditions ..."

"This kind of change is called erosion, which is an irresistible and irreversible process. It spreads through the thinking and cognition of individual organisms. When the existence of great gods is realized, the process of erosion has already begun. "

"Intelligent creatures generally have curiosity. Driven by curiosity, they will actively search for and absorb information related to it, and accelerate the progress of erosion..."

"All the information with the imprint of the gods is collectively referred to as 'forbidden knowledge' by us. To obtain this knowledge, you need to pay an unforeseen price..."

"Everything that belongs to the great god cannot be observed and understood by mortals, unless the mortal body is abandoned."

"When the degree of erosion exceeds the 'threshold value', the soul of the individual creature will be assimilated by the great god and become a part of him, and the body of the individual left in the mortal world will become 'corrosion'—— This phenomenon is called 'super-eclipse'."

……

"Supereclipse?!"

Ke Lan couldn't help holding his breath, and carefully looked at the "corroded skeleton" in front of him.

The Undead Crew has never revealed what Ke Lan would look like if the degree of erosion exceeds the critical point, but now, a living example is placed in front of Ke Lan.

This "corroded wreck" was undoubtedly one of the crew members of the "Shaojiang Kai". This look.

From this point of view, it is not unreasonable for the undead crew members to worry about "opposition"... The undead crew members undoubtedly possess a large amount of "forbidden knowledge", but these "forbidden knowledge" can only be divided into "several shares". Different members rely on their own memory for preservation.

If the crew members share these "forbidden knowledge" with each other, the risk of "super eclipse" will probably increase exponentially-the members of the entire crew club may all become "eclipse" overnight. skeleton".

Thinking of this, Ke Lan couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

Since there is such a risk, why are Demeter and the others obsessed with letting all crew members share information... Aren't they worried that their erosion will exceed that critical point?

Or... is this their original purpose?
Are people like Demeter the real "inner ghosts" in the crew?
No... No, if this is the case, then their plans are too easy to see through... The members of the Undead Crew Club are all elites selected from a million. They are not fools, and they can think of things they can think of... …Even if they want to share information, they should have the means to avoid "super-eclipse".

According to the memories pouring into Ke Lan's brain, after the individual's degree of erosion breaks through the critical point, the so-called "soul" will be assimilated by that great god. The fleshy body under it will become this kind of monster called "corrosion" by the Alpha civilization...

This kind of statement sounds full of strong religious atmosphere, but based on the current level of human cognition, the stories of high-dimensional creatures like "great gods" sound like religious stories that cannot be explained by science no difference.

In Ke Lan's understanding, the so-called "soul" should be something similar to mental power and mind power... But if we want to go deep into the origin of this power, it is not clear to the current level of technology up.

In these memory fragments, it is also mentioned that "super-eclipse" is divided into two types - one is called "chronic super-eclipse"; It belongs to chronic super-eclipse, the body gradually mutates into a monster like a meat mountain, but the mental ability is constantly increasing... Now that I think about it, he can read other people's thoughts and memories, most likely because of the chronic super-eclipse state, "the great god "Part of the ability lent to him.

And the person in front of him is most likely to be "acute overeclipse".

And what Ke Lan cares most about is...what kind of "forbidden knowledge" did this person come into contact with before, so that he became what he is now...

According to Demeter, there is no quantitative standard for the critical point of erosion. It does not mean that the stronger a person is, the stronger his resistance to erosion.It is very likely that a ninth-level enhanced person will become a rotten monster in an instant after only knowing a very small amount of things related to "Him", but a weak person who has no power to restrain a chicken, or even a terminally ill person, may also bear the burden. Hold a large amount of "forbidden knowledge" without turning into "corrosion".

Ke Lan obviously belongs to the latter. Of course, this may be inseparable from his identity as a "symbiont"... Judging from various clues, the "anti-corrosion ability" of Alpha people is obviously much stronger than that of Earth people of.

If it were a "pure" earthling, it is estimated that when the memory of the glacier ruins was forcibly instilled by the stone tablet, it would have been "super-eclipsed".

In the foggy forest, there are obviously "forbidden knowledge" that can make people break through the critical point - the person in front of him has become a monster because of these "forbidden knowledge", and Mo Jue's father is also because of those "forbidden knowledge". Knowledge", will form a "lumberjack" team, to explore the foggy forest time and time again.

The secrets hidden in this forest may be far more than a simple ruin of an engine wreck.

Ke Lan's brain was still thinking rapidly, but the wreck that fell on the ground had already struggled to stand up, its muddy eyes stared straight at Ke Lan, the cracked lips were even more cracked than hare lips. The lips kept opening and closing, spit out indistinct syllables one by one.

It speaks the language of the Alpha civilization, but all of them are meaningless words, just like the sleepwalking of human beings in an unconscious state.

"Can you...understand what I'm saying?" Ke Lan first said it in Chinese, and then repeated it in the language of the Alpha civilization... Although "Erosion" is a body that has lost its soul, he Still decided to try to communicate with this body.

After all, in the eyes of human beings, there is no such thing as a soul... As long as the brain can work normally, then "Erosion" should have normal thinking and communication abilities.

"You... who are you?" The erosion tilted its head, and an indistinct voice came from its throat.

Can communicate!

The villain in Ke Lan waved his fist excitedly, and the other party's answer was still in Chinese, that is to say, this wreck does still retain its memory of being a human being!
Ke Lan looked back at Asano Showa 33, and said, "The two of you go out first, and wait for me in the corridor."

"This monster...can you handle it?" 33 stared at the eclipse with some anxiety, and said in a deep voice.

"If I need your help, I will call... Besides, I'm not alone. The strongest fighting force in the team is now 'wearing' on my body."

"That's right, if Ze Luo can't deal with the enemy, it's useless for the two of us to go up." 33 nodded, "Then be careful yourself, we will wait for you at the door."

After speaking, 33 and Akira Asano quickly exited the bridge.

With a thought, Ke Lan closed the airtight door again, and used a layer of space barrier to surround the space where he and the wreck were in, to prevent Akira Asano from hearing the next communication.

It's not that he doesn't trust Akira Asano, but that the taboo knowledge involving "great gods", even if he just overhears it, will erode people's body and consciousness-Akira Asano is not a symbiont, he is very concerned about the erosion His resistance is far inferior to that of Ke Lan himself.

"You...you are...a human?" Corrosion first asked Ke Lan in Chinese, and in the next second, its throat squirmed a few times, and a strange whisper flowed from its lips.

The second sentence is the language of the Alpha Civilization: "Are you a... Alpha... Human?"

Ke Lan's pupils contracted slightly - obviously, the other party has probably seen the body of his "symbiont".

"I am human." Ke Lan replied in Chinese, "I am the search and rescue team sent by Ark."

"Search and rescue...team?" Erosion's shoulder blades twitched, and he fell back to sit on the ground, looking up at Ke Lan who was not far in front of him, a trace of resentment seemed to flash in his eyes, "You...in... ...a lie...it's been...been...decades...there's no way a...search and rescue team...'

"Ark has never given up on your search and rescue operations for decades." Ke Lan said without changing his expression, "In the past few decades, countless people have been buried in this forest. I managed to get here and found you and this battleship."

"You... are... come to find... me? Who are you...?" Xike's mind seems not very bright, and after just a few conversations, Ke Lan always felt that what he was facing seemed to be an Alzheimer's patients with advanced disease.

"I am the search and rescue personnel sent by the Ark... Please tell me your identity and what happened to the 'Shaojiang Kai' after it crashed."

"My identity... I am... I am..." Eclipse suddenly reached out his hand to cover his head, and howled in pain. Then, it began to hit the ground violently with its head, and its forehead suddenly Go bloody.

It's just that its body also has the same terrifying recovery ability as Ke Lan. The wound on the forehead has recovered in less than two seconds, but the healing is not particularly perfect, leaving behind a strip of bulge like an earthworm. scar.

"I'm...I'm...I just remember..." Eclipse stopped grabbing the ground with his head, and murmured, "I just remember...someone used to call me...captain."

Could this wreck be the captain of the "Shaojiang Kai" frigate?
A series of files related to this person suddenly flashed in Ke Lan's mind... Although the facial features of the corroded skeleton in front of him have been severely distorted, and the facial bones have also undergone tremendous changes, its height is in line with the captain's file , almost all 180 cm.

"Are you Heruni Yang? The captain of the Shaojiang Kai frigate?"

"Heruni Yang?... No, Hruni Yang is dead... I... I am already dead." The ecclesiastical body stood up, facing Ke Lan, and suddenly, its words became inconsequential Caton was vague, "I have accepted the gift from him, I have become a part of him, Hruni Yang no longer exists in this world, and I will live forever... I am him, and he is me!"

"Calm down, it's only the soul of Hruni Yang that becomes a part of 'His', and you are just a sloughed-off body." Ke Lan said.

"But I'm not lying, I'm Hruni Yang...but you're lying, you're not human." Eclipse stared at Ke Lan, his voice became deeper and deeper, "You are one of the traitors...but Even so, He is willing to accept you and give you eternal life and truth."

"The Betrayer?" Ke Lan's eyes twitched involuntarily. "You mean... the Alphas? The Alphas betrayed the great god they believed in?"

No wonder... No wonder the mechs manufactured by the Alpha civilization are named "blasphemers"... The civilization of emotion is actually a bunch of teens? !
"You have no choice." The erosion slowly walked towards Ke Lan, "I will send your soul back to him...you will enter his palace, and you will gain eternity..."

"Please allow me to refuse." Ke Lan kicked up and kicked the carcass fiercely, "Life is heading towards death from birth. Personally, I don't expect any eternal life at all... Not only that, but I feel that eternal life is an extremely terrifying torture for human beings."

"..." Erosion's IQ is obviously not high, and it didn't respond to Ke Lan's remarks.

"Well, since you want me to accept His gift, that means you want me to become what you are now, right——as a necessary condition for 'supereclipse', shouldn't you make those 'taboons' Share your knowledge with me?" Ke Lan said to the eclipse sincerely, "Well, in order for me to achieve 'super eclipse', tell me everything you found in this forest Bar."

"Forbidden knowledge...why do you...know those...those things?" The expression on the corpse's face suddenly became ferocious. Some clues can be seen in its details: the opponent's consciousness seems to be in a state of intense struggle.

"Quick... run... get out of here..." Eclipse suddenly changed his tone, "Forget everything you saw and heard... never come back!"
