Alien Relic Hunter

The guy just now actually said that he could join this crew in the future... Not only did this not make Ke Lan feel happy, but it also filled his heart with doubts: Even if he was neutral during the Leviathan incident and the turmoil in the East Nine District He has made a lot of contributions, and he knows very well that it is absolutely impossible to elevate his status above the "Big Three" just by relying on this credit...

Could it be that this undead crew member has already discovered his secret? Trying to win over yourself this way?

No... No, if this undead crew member really has authority over the three giants as he guessed, there is no need to win over a small person like himself. He only needs an order. He only had two choices: obedience and forced obedience. Oh, by the way, if his will was determined enough and his hands moved fast enough, he might still have a chance to commit suicide with a bullet.

Perhaps it would be a good choice to find an excuse to escape to the wasteland before they did so, but Ke Lan had no idea how long he could survive alone in the wasteland.

Many of the exile organizations in the wasteland are estimated to have been controlled by the heretical sect. After seeing what these guys did, Ke Lan would rather cooperate with Ark than join their camp. middle.

But then again, assuming that the undead crew members already knew their secrets, then why did they neither contact themselves nor take any measures against themselves, and even let themselves leave the Ark to perform tasks outside? Is it possible? Aren't they worried about running away?

If you think about it from another perspective, the first step Ke Lan has to do is to put himself under house arrest... Even if his personal freedom is not restricted, at least he must always be under the surveillance of the Security Bureau, let alone running into the wilderness. Even if you leave home, you have to follow a large group of agents behind you.

As for the conditions for cooperation, we can discuss this slowly. If we really can't reach an agreement, we will finally take coercive measures. If Fangzhou really does this, Ke Lan actually doesn't resent it. The reason why he chose to keep the secret was because he was worried that the upper management of Ark simply did not have the patience to negotiate terms, so they skipped this stage and fast-forwarded to the last step... After all, there are precedents for similar things, and all human beings are involved. When it comes to the fate of the future, Ark's official attitude has never tolerated the slightest bit of instability.

"Forget it... let's leave this place first." Ke Lan thought in his heart. If the other party really wanted to take coercive measures against him, he would probably have done it long ago. It is impossible that there has been nothing happening until now. In this case , it is better to maintain the status quo and wait and see what happens...

Ke Lan quickly went down to the 22nd floor along the fire escape. Except for the elevator that he and Victoria took, the one with the highest stop among the other elevators was the one on the 22nd floor.

As soon as he ran out of the stairwell, the elevator door opened automatically in front of him... Although this scene seemed a bit like a supernatural event, Ke Lan was not surprised - since the undead crew member would pass through a cable If they could control Victoria's prosthetic body remotely, opening an elevator door would be nothing to them. But if they had known that they were willing to help with this small favor, Ke Lan would have gone directly to the 29th floor to wait for the rest. The elevator is coming up.

He jumped directly into the car, and sure enough, even the button to return to the first floor had been pressed for him. The elevator door hadn't even been completely closed, and the entire car began to descend quickly, as if for fear that Ke Lan would not be able to make it in time. It's like escaping from the East 9th District.

"These guys seem pretty reliable..."

When Ke Lan rushed out of Arasaka Tower, the entire suspended structure of East Nine District had begun to collapse, and a large number of building debris continued to fall to the ground, creating a completely doomsday scene.

"Hey... This is trouble..." Looking at the severely damaged block in front of him, Ke Lan couldn't help but take a breath of cold air - if he was hit by something falling from above during the evacuation, It's probably hard to even leave a whole body behind.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that the palm of his left hand seemed to be itchy, and he clenched his fist subconsciously. However, something unexpected happened - at this moment, the surrounding scenes all turned into gray and white, and those burning The flames and falling wreckage were all frozen there, and the whole world... including Ke Lan himself, became a frozen scene.

But Ke Lan's consciousness was not frozen like his body. He observed all this in horror, but the next moment, the wailing sounds of countless men, women, and children rang in his ears, and every scream seemed like a The heavy drumstick hit Ke Lan's consciousness hard, and he was startled. Everything in front of him returned to normal, and the wailing sounds suddenly disappeared.

"How is this going?!"

Ke Lan looked around in surprise. At this time, the surrounding things had changed back to their original colors, and the wreckage that had been "frozen" in mid-air also fell to the ground.

The scene just now gave him a feeling of déjà vu - when Ke Lan used the "Holy Word" to kill Arasaka Yui, a similar situation occurred, as if the time of the entire world had stopped.

Could it be that someone nearby is activating the "Holy Word"? But……

"Wait a minute...?!" Ke Lan seemed to suddenly remember something, and suddenly raised his left hand - the palm of his left hand was stained with a pool of leakage from those fleshy hoses. The black liquid that came out...and now, the black liquid has been almost completely absorbed by his palms, leaving only a little bit remaining on the surface of the skin.

"This thing should have been splashed on when he killed Zi Yan not long ago..."

But what he didn't expect was that these things could be absorbed directly by human skin...

Ke Lan flicked his left hand a few times and didn't feel anything strange. But when he clenched his left hand into a fist and focused all his attention on it, the "time-stop phenomenon" just now turned out to be another one. Appeared once!

Along with it came the scalp-numbing wailing sound and the oppressive feeling like a mountain roar and a tsunami. Ke Lan only felt a stab of pain in his head, and quickly got out of this strange state. out.

"Isn't this the ability that the thing in that iron coffin has... Time stands still. If it can really stop time, wouldn't it be too outrageous?" Even as a person who has seen too much, A hunter of all kinds of weird and strange relics, Ke Lan still feels that his worldview seems to be slowly collapsing... Shouldn't this ability only be mastered by gods in mythology?

Is the thing in that "Iron Maiden" a... god? !
