Alien Relic Hunter

"Why?" Zofia was slightly surprised. You must know that if this sentence is thrown out, it will definitely cause an earthquake in Ark's upper-class social circle - even if the condition is to marry into the Soma family, they will not consider it. Countless young talents were fighting for their heads for this, but the man in front of him from a commoner class... He actually asked himself if he could refuse?

"Well...if I have to give you a reason..." Ke Lan thought for a while and said, "The high EQ version or the low EQ version, which one do you want to hear, Miss Zofia?"

"Two kinds." Zofia said expressionlessly.

"The high EQ version... I think we have known each other for less than a month, and we have only met twice in total. We don't know each other at all, so let's talk about marriage, let alone the basis of our relationship. Is the marriage progressing a little too fast?"

"What about the low EQ version?" Zofia asked.

"I think this might be a trap."

"..."

Suddenly, the room fell into silence, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

After a long time, Zofia regained her composure and asked in as calm a tone as possible: "Why do you think... do you think this is a trap?"

"Any normal person who hasn't been possessed by those insects will think this is a trap..." Ke Lan smiled helplessly, "You may not think so from your point of view, but if you look at it from a third party's point of view, If I agree to this condition, I will obviously be like a low-IQ tool person who is deceived by beauty..."

Ke Lan paused, took a sip of water, and continued: "To put it in a more understandable way, it's like in a common fairy tale, the king promised the warrior, 'As long as you can defeat the evil dragon, I will take the princess away. Marry you.' Same, but in fact, in the dragon's cave, the armor and weapons of the warriors it had eaten were piled as high as a hill."

"But what if the warrior really killed the dragon?" Zofia asked as if she was angry.

"First of all, I can't be sure whether I am the protagonist warrior who killed the dragon or one of the supporting warriors who gave away his head. Secondly, this is just a fairy tale... and in reality, those warriors who killed the dragon often become She becomes an evil dragon, and most of the princesses end up being married off to other countries as bargaining chips for political marriages."

"..."

"So, if I were the prince of a neighboring country instead of a little-known warrior, I would definitely support your proposal, Miss Zofia - after all, no man doesn't like beautiful women. ...It's a pity that I'm probably not even a warrior." Ke Lan laughed, "So don't make fun of me. If I really fall in love with Miss Zofia, it will be over. "

"Is falling in love with me a bad thing?" There was a hint of imperceptible sullenness in Zofia's tone.

"Isn't it bad that you will die if you are not careful?" Ke Lan said with a smile.

"Then facing the threat of heretical sects, wouldn't it be bad?" Zofia asked tit for tat.

"Uh... what are you talking about? What kind of heretical sect?" Although the expression on Ke Lan's face did not show any change, his heart suddenly "thumped" - this beautiful woman, the information she possesses It seems... much more than I imagined.

"It's the heretical sect that... brought the 'Seed of Corrosion' to the Ark." Zofia said word by word.

"What is a Seed of Erosion? An indigenous creature? I've never heard of it... Miss Zofia, if you plan to use this method to trick me, you may be disappointed... because I , is truly one, nothing, everything, and knowledge.”

"You can choose to continue to act stupid, but I think the information provided by General Maginot will not be biased." Zofia flicked her hanging hair again, and then said, "Due to the relationship between the Pioneer and me, The military and the Security Bureau have always maintained a close cooperative relationship..."

It can be noticed that Zofia particularly emphasized the word "I" in this sentence. She said that "I" have always maintained a close cooperative relationship with the military and the Security Bureau, not the Soma Consortium.

"Is this a test?" Ke Lan thought to himself, but he still did not choose to be honest with the other party. Instead, he asked with a rather interested expression: "Oh...it seems like this matter is very confidential. Really? I'm quite curious, can you tell me something? But if you know that you will be restricted from freedom or simply silenced, then forget it."

"You found the missing Team 776 in the Undersea City." Zofia said again.

"Oh, it turns out that the Soma Consortium went to investigate the origin of that batch of equipment, so what?" Regarding this point, Ke Lan did not think that the other party was deceiving him. After all, he was rescued in full view of the public. There was definitely no way to fool the ship's crew and the origins of those antique equipment. Even Maginot came to him because he got the information provided by the Soma Consortium.

"Do you know this person Liao Xing?"

"Fuck!" Ke Lan cursed in his mind. The other party had already brought out the key role of Liao Xing. He obviously knew the details of the conversation between him and Maginot - it seems that the person named The Maginot guys really sold themselves out. This made Ke Lan couldn't help but be more wary of the pot-bellied general... Fortunately, he didn't tell the whole truth last time, otherwise, he might not know how he died.

Zofia can know this information, and the people of the heretical sect may also know that they have penetrated Ark to an unimaginable extent. Otherwise, the arrest operation of the Security Bureau would not have failed.

Ke Lan suddenly felt that his situation seemed to have suddenly become extremely dangerous.

"Do you feel that your situation has suddenly become very dangerous?" Zofia chuckled softly, "Compared to this, the Arasaka Consortium does not seem so scary?"

"No, the Arasaka Consortium is more terrifying. I heard that those Japanese people would pour those who offended them into concrete piles and then sink them to the bottom of the sea..."

"Then what if I tell you that the top brass of the Arasaka Consortium may be colluding with that heretical sect?"

"Isn't that more dangerous? I just want to stay as far away from this Arasaka Consortium as possible." Ke Lan said without hesitation.

"What if they have already targeted you?"

"……Grass."

[P.S. After this chapter was sent out, I discovered that the chapter number was wrong. There were two chapters 172. This chapter should be chapter 173, and the next chapter is chapter 174. 】
