Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 795
"You want to know why I haven't broken through the critical point of erosion, right?" Ke Lan responded, "Just in time, I also have a lot of things I want to ask you. You see, we each have information that the other wants, so we An exchange is completely possible... To be honest, I know that you are not hostile to my friend, so I don't want to treat you as an enemy. There is absolutely no need to conduct interrogation in the communication between us."

"You...you are not human...seriously...polluted...you...you must not...go to...the Ark..." the eclipse said intermittently, it was struggling in vain, and its eyes were not on Ke Lan from the beginning to the end moved away.

"To be honest, under such circumstances, you can still care about the safety of human civilization. I respect you from the bottom of my heart." Ke Lan didn't wear a hat, so he could only put on the breathing mask and take it off again, and then He bowed slightly to the corroded remains that were pressed to the ground.

His actions were completely sincere.

"You...you...who are you...what are you...?" Ke Lan's bow did not impress Xi Ke, who was still struggling, "you...what kind of monster are you?! "

"To be honest, being called a monster by something that looks more like a monster than me makes me somewhat depressed." Ke Lan squatted down, "But I have to admit that what you said is not wrong... I do It's a monster."

"But I'm also human." Ke Lan continued.

"No... you're just... a disguised... body..." Keke said with some difficulty.

Body?

How does it mention the shell too?

That was the first time Hive City heard that statement, and the next time, it was still at the bottom of the ice house on the ground of the research institute... This monster cloned from its own cells, "Seraphim", also used the "body" that words to describe yourself.

That was a coincidence.

Hive has always suspected that everything in that world is a coincidence... The so-called coincidence is just that people are willing to go deep into the reason.

Even if what they say is true, and I am really a body, what is it that is inside my body?

A soul with both human and alpha blood?

But what's the difference between that and the status quo... Zhang Yuan already knew that his gene sequence had been inserted with the gene fragments of Alpha people. If so, I would be called a "symbiont" by the dead crew.

But I always feel that it will be so complicated.

Especially these fragments of memory that are sealed in the depths of my mind, that I can feel but can't always touch... That's something that can be produced simply by gene editing.

They are just too suspicious.

Zhang Yuan felt that those sealed memory fragments came from the complete stele outside the glacier ruins, but as I got less and less events and less information, I felt that my idea was more and more serious. It is a long score.

This stone tablet is not an object used to store information, but a "key"... Its function is to activate the connection between the hive capital and those memory fragments... and those memory fragments, in the hive It's been out of my head since both became a relic hunter.

"Why does he think you are a 'body'?" Hive Capital looked at the wreck, "Where did he get the information from?"

"He... he is... his... minions..."

"Is it possible to communicate well? Do you think he has very little hostility towards you?" Chao Du sighed helplessly, "If he is willing to tell you the truth because he is worried about you being polluted, what do you think? Small but necessary, he also said, your degree of pollution is much lower than his, and you have no mutations, and what he knows about this part of "taboo knowledge" is just a piece of cake for you."

Seeing that the other party was still willing to let go, Chaodu could only continue to persuade: "Tell him the truth, you came from the ark. If you really wanted to do something that would endanger human beings, you would have already done it. How could you come out there and talk to him?"

"His... purpose...is...something other than Ke Lan..." The erosion is still an excuse for doubting the hive city, but besides my words, it reveals a little bit of the hive city. After that is known information.

"Ke Lan?" Zhang Yuan asked immediately, "He means that the core area of ​​the gray mist forest does not have the 'engine wreckage site' mentioned in their mission description, but a place called 'Ke Lan' , right? Can you elaborate? Everything about this Ke Lan...and, how did he find it? Has he ever left the wreck of the Lengya? Valentin and Mo Zhuorui we have no clue Have you ever been to that Ke Lan?"

Chaodu threw out a series of questions in one breath, and I couldn't help but get agitated—I've been going around for so long, the incident is a substantial breakthrough in difficulties, as long as I can continue to investigate along that opening, gray The truth of the core area of ​​the foggy forest is about to emerge——

But just when the Hive Capital was going to use some unconventional methods to retreat and press for questioning, there was an expression of extreme joy under the face of the corroded carcass. These special white gums, which were like asphalt, leaked from its nasal cavity, mouth, corners of eyes, and ear canals. And all the damaged places under the skin flowed out - the hive noticed that when the white gelatin was in a solid state, they could coexist peacefully with the original skin of the wreck, but when it turned into a liquid state, In an instant, the extremely weak corrosiveness disappeared, and wherever it passed, all the skin it touched was peeled off and corroded.

There was an extremely long roar from the mouth of the corrode, and it said intermittently: "Can... let him... go back to... the ark...he must... stay outside there forever!"

"That guy is already dead, what drives it is just a ray of obsession, he can't convince it." Ze Luo's voice rang in Zhang Yuan's ear, "It's just a beast that relies on the remaining energy in its body The walking dead in action are exactly the same as Valentin..."

"What does he mean is that the Valentin you saw on the bridge of the 'Shaojiang Kai' frigate is alive?" Chao Du raised his eyebrows, "The monster of Erodu...is there still a difference between life and death?"

"The life and death you refer to only refers to the part of us that belongs to human beings." Zelo explained, "But if he can still see Valentin, I should have become like that."

"So, at this time, Valentin is really dead?"

"Well, just a short time before he came into contact with me, the human part of me was completely dead, before he could use 'it' to refer to this corroded remains... If you want to use human If you use vocabulary to describe "that part", you think the word "humanity" in human language is the most appropriate in all aspects. Valentin's humanity can persist for so long under his erosion, it must be said that it is a Miracle."

"So it seems that you killed me?" Chao Du felt helpless, "If you woke me up, I should be able to last longer, right?"

"It is true that my 'humanity' can survive longer in the sleeping state, but it is meaningless in reality. The nightmare has been eroding my consciousness. Even if he wakes me up, my remaining 'humanity' will still be there. Gradually fading away in deep sleep... At most, he made me confused for a moment at the very first moment, and for me, that ending is too bad."

"……Ugh."

Over there Zhang Yuan is still "whispering" with Zeluo, and on the other side, the corroded remains that have been pressed underground by the force of space have completed their "transformation"—if it looks like a dried mummy , which is now a mummy fished out of a barrel of asphalt.

"Its strength has been weakened by about eight times, and the physical strength of its body has been weakened by about seven times... and it is still getting weaker." Zelo said.

Because of your spatial ability, even if the strength of the erosion is weakened by a hundred times, you can still break free from the shackles.

"Is there any way to force it to open its mouth and tell these information that has nothing to do with 'Zhang Yuan'?" Chao Du asked.

"It's difficult to achieve that goal through abnormal means of communication." Zelo replied.

"Can he read its memory? You remember, he read your memory afterwards, right?" Hook Capital said.

When we met for the first time, Ze Luo's original humanoid incarnation was a white-haired loli. In the picture, less than [-]% of the male protagonists have a common feature: white hair.

"You can try to read its memory, but you need to be attached to it... The thinking and consciousness mode of the corroded body is completely the same as that of human beings. Every corroded body is connected with it. If you If you rashly intrude into the erosion of your mind, there is no small probability that you will be watched by him..."

"Forget it, the risk is too small." Before Ze Luo finished speaking, the Hive City rejected that idea.

"But that's the only way." Ze Luo continued, "You can find a way to separate a duplicate body and let the duplicate body perform that task. Even if it catches his attention, it will only be a duplicate body that is destroyed That's all."

"Will the loss of a copy have no effect on him?"

"No, but it's small, and it will take at least eight months to recover." Ze Luo replied truthfully.

"It's still okay. Outside the gray fog forest, his combat power must be guaranteed first...not to mention that you will go to this place called 'Ke Lan' next. In addition, if he is in the future When looking at the duplicate body, if you 'glance' to the side by the way, all of you will run away." Zhang Yuan shook his head, "There is nothing wrong with what he said, that is not the only way."

"Huh? Why?" Ze Luo wondered, "You know that outside the Ark's research institute, there are no devices that can weakly read human memory. But those devices are aimed at humans with basically sound cerebellar functions, and eclipse Muku's cerebellum has shrunk and lost all its functions. These devices will have no effect on it... What's more, it is impossible for him to bring out such a device that covers an area of ​​hundreds of square meters. "

"Yes, what you are talking about is a device invented by humans, but a creation of the Alpha civilization." Hive Capital explained, "But the last thing is, you have to find Hrunina first."

"Did he mean the Blasphemer Mecha?"

"Yeah." Chao Du nodded, "You mentioned later that when you were driving the Blasphemer Mecha with Zhang Yuan Xinna, your consciousness was connected to each other through the body, and you retreated into a kind of 'consciousness sharing' Is it the state? In fact, what is shared is only unconsciousness, and there is no memory of each other. You can see Zhang Yuanxinna’s past memories, and you can also see yours...but only a small part of your memories are dead crew members. False memories receding..."

The hive paused, and continued: "During a battle, it's safe to indulge in the memory of the other party, but if you just use the Blasphemer Mecha as an interrogation tool, you should have no problem."

Although the hive capital is also sure that the nerve connection of the blasphemer mech can be used against the ecclesiasm... After all, the cerebellum of the ecclesiasm has shrunk, and the nervous system in the body has basically been scrapped, even if these fleshy tentacles can prick Wearing the tough body of the erosion, it is estimated that there is also a way to connect to the nervous system of the erosion.

But after this short "synchronous state" brought a wonderful feeling to Hive City: the connection between me and Hrunina did not come from these tentacles connected to the spinal nerves... After all, those tentacles connected It's just the spine, but whether it goes deep into the cerebellum of the two of us, logically speaking, the only thing that can synchronize between us is the various signals sent by the cerebellum to the body.

That miraculous synchronization function seems to come from another function of the Blasphemer's mech...Obviously, whether it is Zhang Yuan or the Dead Crew, there is still a long way to go to the point of fully analyzing that mech. As for these "mass-produced fallen angels", they are just poor imitations.

Chaodu suddenly felt... the name "blasphemer" is not just a mere sound of domineering, it seems to have no other meaning.

Anyway, at least it's worth a try.

"Synchronizing with the consciousness of the erosion, is that longer?" Ze Luo said, "As his sacrifice, every erosion should be under his supervision. He has synchronized with the consciousness of the erosion, Is it tantamount to actively exposing yourself to His sight? Doing that is no different from your method?"

"Rationality tells you that what he said is wrong, but intuition tells you that the blasphemer mech can allow you to achieve that goal smoothly... To put it in more concrete terms, your subconscious has always thought that... the blasphemer mecha It can block His gaze to a certain extent."

The subconsciousness that Chaodu talked about is actually some fragments of information leaked out of these sealed memory fragments... I found that the less "forbidden knowledge" I received, the deeper it was eroded, and those memories The seal becomes looser.

The closer I get to the tipping point of overeclipse, the closer I get to the truth.
