Alien Relic Hunter

"Maybe talent is the key clue..." Ke Lan murmured to himself.

"Humans? Key clues?" The hound couldn't help but muttered, "How could humans become the key clues in the secret room built by the Alpha civilization? They don't even know what kind of creatures humans are, so how could they put the clues to solve the puzzle in In humans?”

"But the spiritual attacks in the ruins are effective on humans, aren't they?" Ke Lan said, "I have an idea, I think I can try it..."

Hearing what Ke Lan said, Hound immediately asked, "What do you think?"

…

When he just explored these stone chambers, Ke Lan had already marked all nine of them with serial numbers with a highlighter: the left half of the prefix "艹", that is, the three rooms on the west edge are "No. 1", "No. 2" and "No. 3", the three rooms connecting the axis in the middle correspond to "four, five, six", and the ones on the east edge are "seven, eighty-nine".

Ke Lan's idea was to move Cao Feng, Yifan and Asano Akira into three stone rooms that were not connected to the axis, and put them on the stone platform to see if any changes would happen.

They directly selected the "1, 2, and 3" stone chambers on the near side and carried the three of them to the stone platform inside.

"Didn't nothing happen?" Hound said with some disappointment when he saw Asano Akira lying on the stone platform in Stone Room No. 3, "It seems like all the efforts were in vain..."

"No... I think it's because we are missing a key factor..." Ke Lan shook his head.

"Key factor? What factor?"

"They have all been injected with Mengzao preparations and neutralizers, and are now in a dreamless sleep. They are no different from other people..." Ke Lan said.

"You mean...you have to be someone who is having a nightmare?"

"Don't you forget the 'control variable method' that you learned in the primary compulsory education stage...'Nightmare' is obviously a crucial experimental variable..."

"I know...but, what do you do to make them return to their original state? Perform another mental attack?"

"When I came into contact with those crazy hunters at Nottingham General Hospital, I found that Alpha language will have a strong stimulation on them. Maybe I can try this method." Ke Lan took a look at the inventory in the medical kit, counting the items he had received from Nottingham before. Of the three Mengzao preparations that the hospital director sent me, there are still eight in total in stock, which is enough to deal with the aftermath.

Ke Lan walked to Asano Akira's side, leaned close to the other person's ear, and recited a few prayers on the stone tablet in an alpha-civilized way. Suddenly, Asano Akira's face changed while he was sleeping, and his fingers subconsciously formed a fist. The hand holding the knife was trembling constantly.

Fortunately, in order to prevent Akira Asano from hurting others in an unconscious state, Ke Lan had taken away his war blade in advance and bound his hands and feet with safety belts.

Among these three people, the strongest one is Asano Akira. The stronger the strength, the more dangerous it is when losing one's mind... To be honest, this kind of attempt is extremely risky, but Ke Lan can only do this.

Other than that, there is no better choice.

"Old dog, keep an eye on Asano Akira. If anything happens, call me loudly." After Ke Lan finished speaking, he walked to the other two stone rooms, and followed the same pattern to make Ivan and Cao Feng fall into a nightmare again.

Just when the last step was completed, the floor under my feet suddenly shook! With the sound of friction between rocks, these stone chambers began to move. Ke Lan ignored the horror in his heart and quickly activated the ability to stop time. Taking advantage of this short gap, he forcibly moved these stone chambers. The movement trajectory was recorded.

Not long after, the nine stone chambers returned to calm, and the dust settled, and everything seemed as if it had never happened - the joints between the stone chambers, and between the stone chambers and the rock formations were tightly sealed, and it did not look like they had been moved at all. The arrangement shape of the nine stone chambers is still the shape of the Chinese character "艹"... The only thing that has changed is that the stone chamber where Asano Akira and the others are located has been changed to the connecting axis in the middle!

The original stone chamber numbered "1, 2, 3" has just been swapped with "4, 5, 6"!

"It's... it's really fucking evil!" There was a slight tremor in Hound's voice, "Ke Lan, did you see clearly just now? I just felt like the world was spinning for a while, and by the time I realized it, it was all over... Damn it, I didn’t even see how these stone chambers moved!”

"I haven't seen it either... The design of the mechanism is very clever. When these stone chambers move, the surrounding rock formations will also move with them. They will block the gaps in the movement in time, so that the stone chambers People can't see what's outside at all." Ke Lan said, "However, I forcibly recorded the movement of the stone chamber."

The movement trajectory of the stone chamber is not purely flat. To write it down requires a strong sense of space and perspective ability (P.S. Perspective here does not refer to the special ability of sight to penetrate obstacles, but a theoretical term in the field of painting) Fortunately, Ke Lan has the ability to stop time. Even if he cannot see the accurate movement trajectory at first glance, he can continue to press the "pause button" to conduct more detailed observation and analysis, thereby obtaining a dynamic three-dimensional image.

"The moving trajectories of the stone chamber just formed several characters in Alpha language..." Ke Lan recalled this dynamic three-dimensional image. He simplified and folded those trajectories, and then re-outlined them with lines on the two-dimensional plane. "From Looking at it from different angles, the characters are different, but there is evidence to follow between these characters. I can follow this rule to connect these strings..."

"Then what do these strings mean when connected?" the hound asked urgently, eyes wide.

"...There is only half a sentence, and the meaning is unclear. You have to find the second half of the sentence to connect it before you can understand the meaning of these characters." Ke Lan said here, suddenly raised his head and looked at the other side of the stone room.

"Seven or eighty-nine! Since the strange changes of one, two, and three have formed half of the sentence, then let's carry Asano Akira and the three of them up to the stone platform of No. 789. Can't we get the second half of the sentence?"

Just as they were told, Ke Lan and Hound moved the three of them into three other stone chambers. This time, the stone chamber moved again, but its movement trajectory became very strange - "These lines... don't form a group." Any complete character...these power outages and turning points are all wrong..." Ke Lan looked at the images he drew in his notebook and couldn't help but fall into confusion...

How did that happen?

[P.S. In order to give everyone a more intuitive concept of the arrangement of the stone chambers, I will sketch directly in the text:

Wall one wall seven walls

two four five six eight

wall three wall nine wall

Among them, "three" is the stone room where Ke Lan woke up, "one" is the hound, and "four" is the room where Cao Feng was at the beginning, which is also where Ke Lan and the hound met. 】
