Alien Relic Hunter

"I really hope to cooperate with a big boss like you, Lieutenant General," Ke Lan shrugged, "But the problem is... I really couldn't enter that underwater city, and I almost lost my little one. My life was also lost.”

"But you found the 776 Special Forces Team that disappeared forty-eight years ago."

"...I just now know that the team's number is this." Ke Lan said with a smile.

When he was rescued from the sea in full public view, there were so many people on the Pioneer that leaking information was almost inevitable - and through the serial code inscriptions on the equipment he brought out, the military It is easy to find the production batch and factory flow of the equipment in the database, there is no doubt about this.

"No, you are lying." But Maginot did not show any displeasure, "Otherwise Nick would not have checked the sealed files - although he had erased his access records, he did not What comes to mind is that when he uses his permissions, all his actions on the Internet have been included in our monitoring."

Maginot pointed at his eyes with his index and middle fingers: "Actually, his authority should have been taken back when he retired. The reason why he can still access the military database with his original identity is because we gave him It’s just a small back door he opened.”

"Like a mouse." Ke Lan said softly.

"Um?"

"When I was a child, I saw an ecological simulation chamber in a biology laboratory affiliated to the Ark Public Education Facility. It was an educational facility specifically used to restore the natural ecology of some earth creatures so that students could Further deepen the understanding of the knowledge in the textbook.”

Ke Lan smiled self-deprecatingly and continued: "In the simulation warehouse, after going through various hardships and dangers, the rats that were artificially rewilded finally found the food hidden in the corner - in the eyes of the rats themselves Come, it moved quickly and secretly, not only overcoming numerous obstacles, but also avoiding the natural enemies that were also thrown into the simulation warehouse and watching eagerly. Little did it know that the whole process was under the surveillance of cameras... Even that The hard-earned food was placed there specifically for it to be found.”

"Haha, I like this metaphor." Maginot smiled, "It is indeed very similar - but back to the topic, since you said you failed to enter the underwater city, how did you find the 776 Special Forces Team."

Maginot's smile faded and he looked at Ke Lan seriously.

"Can I ask you a question first?" Ke Lan said.

"But it doesn't matter."

"Hound has reviewed all the files of the 776 Special Team and Liao Xing, but there is no record in the database about the last mission they performed... I want to know, what was the content of the last mission performed by Liao Xing and the 776 Special Team? "

"Hiss..." Maginot rubbed his temples irritably, "Why do you want to know this?"

"Because I met Liao Xing." Seeing that Maginot was hesitating, Ke Lan decided to throw out a piece of news. Only in this way could he force the other party to reveal more information to him.

"What did you say?!" Sure enough, Maginot showed a shocked expression for the first time during the conversation. Although it was only for a short moment, Ke Lan knew that he made the right move with this move.

"It's just a corpse. I saw this name and serial number from the dog tag."

"You only saw Liao Xing's body? Where and under what circumstances did you see it? Besides Liao Xing, was there anyone else?" Maginot asked repeatedly.

"Dear Lieutenant General Maginot," Ke Lan emphasized slightly, "You asked me four questions. Since we are a cooperative relationship, I will exchange the answers to these four questions for the previous one. You should Isn’t it a loss? As long as you tell me the details of the last mission of the 776 Special Forces Team, I will tell you everything I saw under the sea."

"...Actually," Maginot suddenly sighed, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but...even I don't know the content of the last mission carried out by the 776 Special Forces Team. I only know that it should be It’s an extermination mission.”

"Annihilation mission?" Ke Lan was slightly stunned. At first, he thought that the 776 Special Forces Team was performing an exploration mission. But the problem was that the exploration mission would not use the heavy equipment of the Fearless Warriors, which was useless except for firepower and defense. If they were carrying out an extermination mission, then this would make perfect sense.

"Other than that, I don't know the specific time, location and goal of the mission... Forty-eight years ago, I had just graduated from the military academy."

"What about now? You don't know anything about it now?" Ke Lan was speechless. "Since you don't know what the last mission of the 776 Special Forces Team was, why did you ask me about those things?"

Even Ke Lan knew more about this mission than the lieutenant general. He knew that the black box left by the captain told him that the location of the mission was not in Zhonghai, but even on the "other side of Alpha Planet."

"I can even tell you that no one who knows the specific content of that mission is probably alive now." Maginot said, "You should know that in the early days of landing on Alpha Planet, due to the tense war situation and the addition of human There has been no real contact with war for nearly a thousand years, and the military command system on the Ark was once in chaos. Many troops received temporary tasks verbally issued by their superiors. Many of these tasks did not leave files, and 776 The mission carried out by the special forces team is one such mission."

"Then how did you connect the undersea city with the traces of the 776 Special Forces Team?" Ke Lan suddenly felt that things were not as he expected, "Is it just because of the things I brought out? ... That era The wars basically broke out in the equatorial area around the landing point. You and I both know that it is impossible for the 776 Special Forces Team to be sent to Zhonghai, a hundred and eighty thousand miles away, under those circumstances."

"Of course not." Maginot shook his head, "Before you, there were actually some clues."

"Those people from the Security Bureau?"

"right."

Maginot took out two exquisite glasses from the wine cabinet on the side and placed them on the coffee table: "Would you like anything to drink?"

Ke Lan: "Thank you, I'm not thirsty."

"Have you ever heard people say the words 'Great True God'?" Maginot said while pouring himself a full cup of dark brown liquid.

"No." Ke Lan directly denied that he did not intend to disclose this information before confirming the other party's true intentions.

"This is a deity believed by a folk religious organization... Generally speaking, as long as this kind of organization does not endanger public safety, the Security Bureau will not find them."

"Now that we have talked about it, it seems that this organization has caused a lot of harm, right?" Ke Lan asked hypocritically, but he couldn't help complaining in his heart: Not only is it a big harm, if they are allowed to let them go, If it continues to develop, it is estimated that all mankind will be destroyed in their hands.

"In the beginning, this was just an organization born from the religious culture left over from the old era. There were no more than a thousand believers, and the gathering activities were limited to worship and prayer until they came into contact with taboos."

"Taboo?"

"As a relic hunter, you should know that the Alpha civilization also has its own religious beliefs, right?"

"I know." Ke Lan nodded.

"Among the followers of that organization, there was also a relic hunter. During a relic exploration operation, he accidentally accepted the religious inheritance from Alpha Civilization... and brought this inheritance back to the human world."
