Alien Relic Hunter

Ke Lan first found a cutting machine from the equipment warehouse of the "Greece" and cut off the solid ice wrapping the stone monument, leaving only two centimeters of ice on each side for protection, and then Use a flame spray gun to melt the last two centimeters of ice bit by bit. This step must be done with special care. If the temperature of the flame and the burning time are not controlled properly, the body of the stone tablet may be damaged.

The second step took more than an hour to completely remove the ice on the entire stone tablet. After using absorbent filter paper to wipe away all the water stains on the instant noodles of the stone tablet, a new problem appeared in front of everyone - —

Who will be the first to touch this stone tablet?

According to the last experience, after the first person touches the stone tablet, the stone tablet will break into a pile of powder. After that, anyone who touches this pile of powder will no longer react.

In other words, the stone tablets that can inherit the Alpha language are disposable items, and each piece can only be triggered once.

"How about everyone put their hands on it and try it at the same time?" Layton suggested.

"I don't agree..." Ke Lan shook his head, "Let's not talk about whether this will allow everyone to accept the inheritance. If some uncontrollable accident occurs, it will be too late to regret... This is like Computer terminals are performing one-to-one data transmission. If the receiver changes from one to multiple, the transmitted information will also be fragmented. Each terminal will receive a piece of garbled code that cannot be interpreted. For For storage devices, it only takes one format to completely delete these garbled characters...but our brains are not computers..."

"Even if the information storage technology used by Alpha civilization is very different from human computer technology," Ke Lan continued, "I think this is a very risky behavior."

"Even if only one person comes into contact with the stone monument, there are unknown risks." The hound sighed, "This is a gamble."

"I'll do it." The person who stood up was Ivan. He took out a dagger polished with a stone awl from his pocket and handed it to Ke Lan. "Anyway, I picked up the remaining half of my life." , instead of lingering, I might as well dedicate myself to science... If I succeed, I can also use this ability on those topics that have been stagnant in the academic world for a long time and cannot be broken through."

"If I'm crazy," Ivan suddenly changed the topic, "don't hesitate, use this dagger to kill me, and then burn my body with the cells of the monster inside..."

"Don't say stupid things." The hound rolled his eyes at him, "It's not so easy to go crazy. Natasha is still waiting for your reply-"

"Old dog, don't be blind..." Ke Lan covered the hound's mouth, and then looked at Ivan, "Ivan, are you sure you are ready?"

"Yes." He nodded, then stretched out his good hand and gently placed it on the stone tablet...

…

Nothing happened.

The stone tablet was not broken, and there was nothing unusual about Ivan.

"It seems...it seems to have no effect..." Layton couldn't help but said.

"It seems that this boy Ke Lan's bad luck is not something everyone can encounter." Hound complained, but for some reason, although everyone was a little disappointed, they were vaguely relieved.

"But it can't be said that nothing has been gained. At least, based on the contents recorded on these stone tablets, we can roughly infer what the original function of the 'Bottomless Tiankeng' relic was." Ke Lan said, "There are two Possibilities: first, this ruins is probably a biological weapons testing ground built by the Alpha people under the glacier; second, this sinkhole is a place simply used to store information... Its function is close to the archives of the human world Museum or library.”

Speaking of this, Ke Lan suddenly paused, took out his pistol, put it on the table, and looked at everyone: "Do you still remember what I said in front of the stone gate when we first formed a team? ?”

"I remember... you saw a lot of hallucinations at that time..." Hound's words stopped abruptly, his face suddenly changed, and even his tone was slightly trembling, "Are those things not hallucinations? You Is what you see real?!”

"It should be like this, otherwise there is no way to explain... In your memory, I never fired a gun in the ruins, but when we were sorting out the equipment on the battleship, the magazine in my pistol was empty, leaving only He fired the last bullet," Ke Lan said.

At this time, Asano Akira, who had been silent, stood up. He raised the war blade in front of him and said, "Although I don't remember what I fought with in the stone chamber, my sword remembers it. That’s a tough rival.”

"In other words, our memories have been modified..." Hound murmured, "But why was you missed? You hadn't come into contact with that stone tablet at that time..."

"It's a mental attack. The reason why our memories change is because we received mental attacks...just like those crazy hunters, and Ke Lan happened to be the one who luckily escaped the attack." Ivan analyzed .

"The A-087 ruins and the S-018 ruins are twin ruins... In other words, they should have been the same ruins. The core area we found during that exploration was only the control hub for the upper half of the ruins, and the lower ruins Half of the floor is this bottomless sinkhole." Hound said slowly, "In this case, it makes perfect sense that we were attacked mentally... Damn it, I didn't expect that after going half a circle, we would be back to this starting point. ”

"So, Ke Lan, those biological tissues sealed in the ice that you saw are all real? There are also those huge eyes that can move freely in the ice, and... "Ivan said, looking at the hound involuntarily.

"And the kind of meat that can become exactly like me." Hound followed Ivan's words, "To be honest, just thinking about it gives me goosebumps all over my back. If I really meet him, I have to shoot this thing in the head!"

"The situation doesn't seem good!" Leighton suddenly said urgently, "If there were really a lot of monsters frozen in the ice of the A-087 ruins, wouldn't all these monsters run out after the glacier collapsed? ?! They... they shouldn't be hiding under this sinkhole, right?"

"Hiss... I think it's quite scary when you say that..." Zhuoligetu took a breath of cold air.

"However, it is also possible that these monsters were buried alive by the collapsing glacier..." The hound rubbed his chin. He had not shaved for several days, and the short stubble had grown to almost a year old. centimeters longer.

"The possibility of their survival is very high. This kind of monster cannot be looked at with ordinary eyes... If nothing else, do you think that a piece of ice can be weighed hundreds of meters deep and be as hard as steel? Will the huge eyes that move freely in the center be crushed to death by the collapsing glacier?" Ivan said solemnly.

"Then if we go down, we won't... bump into these ghosts, right?" Layton subconsciously clenched his fists and said in a deep voice.
