Alien Relic Hunter

(The chapter number of this chapter is wrong. It should be Chapter 373, not Chapter 337. However, the chapter name cannot be modified, and it will not affect reading anyway... The next chapter will be based on Chapter 374.)

After thinking about it, Ke Lan came up with only two possibilities——

First possibility:

The "great god" in the words of the priests and servants of the gods was transformed from a highly mutated human being... Of course, there may be more than one person... In him or them, the changes that have occurred have already gone beyond the conventional The scope of mutation is such that the final product has completely become a completely new species.

This is something that cannot be explained by the current level of human technology, but it does happen.

Second possibility:

The "Great God" was born out of an indigenous creature lurking in an abandoned laboratory. It was once a research object and underwent various experiments. These experiments more or less contributed to its current state... Here Over the course of decades, it continued to evolve and survived countless random changes.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the first possibility and the second possibility occur at the same time - humans and monsters merge with each other, mutation and evolution are intertwined... It's just that compared to the first two possibilities, the probability of this third case is higher Low.

If the first and second possibilities are compared to the jackpots of Shuangseqiu and Lotto, then the third possibility is equivalent to buying a Shuangseqiu at a lottery shop, and then buying it at another place at the next intersection. A lottery shop bought another Lotto ticket, and the results were drawn a few days later, and both of them won the special prize.

This metaphor may not be appropriate enough, because evolution of this level requires at least ten thousand mutations, and each mutation is a narrow escape from death - this is like a hell-difficulty Gal game. Every time Most of the options are wrong, and if you choose the wrong option in any of these tens of thousands of choices, you will directly enter the "bad end".

For biological individuals, the so-called "bad end" is naturally to completely disappear from this world.

If the direction of mutation can still be controlled to a certain extent in the laboratory, after the space station is abandoned, it will be completely "let nature take its course"... If this "great god" really If he evolved from humans, then he is definitely a chosen one who rolls the dice tens of thousands of times and gets a "6" every time.

"Only a ghost would believe that there is no lead in this dice..." Ke Lan couldn't help but complain in her heart, and continued to follow the servant of God and others.

…

Although he was mentally prepared, Ke Lan was still deeply shocked when he saw the true form of the "Great God" - it was a wall of flesh and blood that was 150 meters high. The wall extends from the ground to the top wall of the space station, completely separating Area E and Area F.

On this wall are embedded dozens of huge eyeballs with a diameter of four to five meters. The size of these eyeballs is even more exaggerated than the big eyeballs he saw in the ice channel of the glacier ruins. When their group approached During the Wall of Flesh, these huge eyeballs started to rotate rapidly... Almost two-thirds of the eyeballs focused on Ke Lan, even though Ke Lan was used to seeing weird things and was surrounded by so many Even with his huge eyeballs staring at him, he still felt the hairs on his back stand up.

In addition to these huge eyeballs, in the middle of the wall of flesh and blood, there is a huge mouth that is constantly moving in a small way. From Ke Lan's perspective, this huge mouth opens and closes as if it is breathing. …

And in front of the Wall of Flesh, the addictive aroma became extremely rich.

"What you see is the true nature of the 'Great God'. He is the origin of the world and will be the end of the world. It is the belief of all of us and the destination of all of us..." The servant of the god stood in Ke Lan's corner. Less than ten steps away in front of him, he seemed to be talking to himself or introducing him to him.

"Present the sacrifice." The servant of God said again.

In the previous "Sacrifice Ceremony", except for the missionary who was infected with the seed of erosion, a total of three people became "sacrifice to the gods" due to their defeat.

The miner who was unwilling to participate in the ceremony and was tortured; the young woman who Ke Lan had to silence in order not to reveal her identity; plus the mutant who had only brute strength but no fighting skills... these three people His body was also brought here by the followers of the servant of God.

The remaining third of the eyeballs on the wall of flesh and blood are currently looking at the corpses wrapped in waterproof cloth, just like a diner checking whether the food served on the table is fresh.

The followers carried the body to a place only about ten meters away from the Wall of Flesh, and then the two of them worked together to throw the body towards the huge mouth on the Wall of Flesh.

The huge mouth of the wall of flesh and blood was more than ten stories above the ground. Fortunately, the gravity here was so small that it was almost negligible. The corpse flew up in a straight trajectory until it flew to the side of the huge mouth before being wiped away suddenly. Captured by the black shadow protruding from the huge mouth, it only took a blink of an eye for the black shadow and the corpse to disappear into the depths of the huge mouth.

But Ke Lan, who turned on "Time Stop", still captured this brief frame. Those black shadows were actually a fleshy centipede-like tentacle. The entire tentacle extended beyond the huge mouth and could be observed. There are twenty-nine sections. If the corpse is used as a comparison object, the length of each section is about two meters. In other words, the length of the entire tentacle can fully reach the servants of God standing on the ground.

From this point of view, this "great god" will not attack its "devout believers", but will only enjoy the sacrifices offered by these believers.

There are a total of four centipede-like tentacles sticking out of the huge mouth. Each of these tentacles is composed of well-developed ring-shaped muscles. The surface of the muscles is covered with transparent fascia, and under the fascia, it is covered with There were thick purple-blue blood vessels.

At the front of these tentacles, there are dense white fangs. The corpses thrown into the air were hooked by these fangs and dragged into the huge mouth.

As the "sacrifice" of the three corpses was completed, there was a sound of sticky flesh squirming from inside the wall of flesh. This made Ke Lan think of the pieces of meat being gradually crushed in the acid-filled stomach. Broken and dissolved images...

"Does this... complete the sacrifice?" Ke Lan asked softly.

"Yes." The servant of God replied, "The next step is your baptism."

"Baptism?" Although the servant of God had mentioned this word before, Ke Lan had no idea what "baptism" meant.

The word baptism comes from the Christian initiation ceremony. Its allusion comes from the "John the Baptist" baptizing Jesus by the Jordan River in the New Testament. Later, it became an item that new believers must go through when they join the church. ceremony.

The Christian baptism ceremony is divided into two types: "sprinkling ceremony" and "immersion ceremony". One is where the officiant sprinkles water on the forehead of the baptized person, and the other is where the body of the baptized person is immersed in the water, symbolizing the baptism. It washes away the sins of the baptized person and gives him the gift of God. Only after the baptism is completed, the baptized person officially becomes a Christian.

However, as an atheist, Ke Lan believes that the so-called baptism is nothing more than sprinkling water on the forehead and taking a bath. He does not think that taking a bath can wash away a person's sins - of course, the effect of cleaning the body is still Yes, if he could take a bath with clean water here, he would most likely not refuse.

What is certain is that the "baptism ceremony" of a heretical sect - whether it is the heretical sect on the ground or the heretic sect in the "sick village", the "baptism" they refer to is definitely not the same thing as Christian baptism.

"What...what should we do?"

"Dedicate a part of yourself to the 'Great God', and in the process, He will grant you divine blessing, which comes from His power. This power will be driven by you... This is what we, as an insignificant person, The highest gift an individual can receive before returning to His body." said the servant of God.

"Sacrifice a part of me to the 'Great God'?" Ke Lan couldn't help but feel a little thump in her heart, "This means... you want me to be like those sacrifices just now..."

"Yes, but not all, just a small part. Your mission is not over yet, and it is too early to return to the body of the 'Great God'."

"A small part? Which part?" Ke Lan couldn't help but ask.

"The little finger of the right hand." The servant of God said.

Only then did Ke Lan notice that among the followers of the servant of God, all those with exposed right hands had no knuckle at the farthest end of their little finger.

The places where their fingers were severed have long since healed, and they look bare. There seems to be no trace of gangrene or infection...

Ke Lan glanced at the little finger of his right hand. This finger had grown back in less than two months. Compared with the palm connected to it, the skin on the finger appeared slightly pinker. At the root of the finger, even You can also see a looming dividing line.

"It has just grown, do I have to cut it off again?" Ke Lan thought in his mind, "Forget it, with the current self-healing ability, it will grow back in a short time. It shouldn't be a problem if a finger is missing. It will have a great impact on one's own combat effectiveness..."

He gritted his teeth, and then said to the servant of God: "...Do you have a knife? Give me a knife... Well, it's better to be sharper. If you have an axe, that's fine too."

"You don't need to do it yourself." The servant of God said, slowly walked behind Ke Lan and pushed him on the back.

"The 'Great God' will help you complete the baptism, and you will not feel any pain during the whole process."

The gravity multiplier here was lower than that in the residential area, and Ke Lan floated directly up to the huge mouth embedded in the wall of flesh and blood.

"F*ck!" Ke Lan couldn't help but greet the female family members of this divine servant in his heart. He waved his limbs in vain, but in the floating state, he had no way to use it. He could only look at this bloody basin. The big mouth kept enlarging in his field of vision.

This familiar scene really made Ke Lan feel helpless - not long ago, he used similar means to kill a missionary from a heretical sect. Unexpectedly, not long after this, he would be in this " Victim" position above.

"I hope... I hope this thing will really only eat off a piece of my finger..." Ke Lan put his hand into the hidden pocket on the inside of his clothes and grasped the handle of the pocket pistol - although The power of the pocket pistol is very small, and bullets not much larger than a grain of rice cannot cause any effective damage to the wall of flesh. However, it is a gunpowder weapon after all. The recoil generated when shooting is enough to push Ke Lan towards the bullet. Push in the opposite direction of the shot.

If this wall of flesh shows the slightest intention of swallowing him whole, he will pull the trigger without hesitation - even if his identity will be exposed.

If you are really swallowed by this thing, then it will be too late to say anything.

The centipede-like tentacles have stretched out from the huge mouth. Compared with the previous movements when preying on "sacrifice", the speed of the tentacles this time is obviously much slower.

The tentacle moved to a place one meter away from Ke Lan and stopped. At such a close distance, Ke Lan could clearly see the structure of the "teeth" at the front of the tentacle - these fangs were not straight, but had ribbons. There is a certain arc, and on the inside of the arc, there is an extremely sharp blade. When the muscles at the front of the tentacles contract, these fangs will engage with each other and crush anything they come into contact with.

Ke Lan tried to stretch his right hand forward. Just when his little finger was about to touch the fangs, a very thin meat tube stretched out from the tentacles, and the sharp end like a needle flew quickly. Di Kelan clicked on the back of his hand.

A numb and itchy feeling suddenly came from the back of his hand, and the next second, Ke Lan felt that his entire right hand had lost consciousness.

"They actually injected anesthesia before the amputation?...Is this 'great god' so humane?" Ke Lan finally realized what the servant of the god said, "You won't feel any pain during the whole process." ”, not lying to him.

After the "anesthetic" is injected, you will indeed not feel any pain...

[P.P.S. I have experienced firsthand what misfortunes never come singly. I went out to Mixue Ice City in the afternoon to buy a cone. As soon as I came downstairs, I stepped on an empty floor tile and twisted my left foot. Then when I was typing at night, the tenosynovitis of my left wrist broke out again. The radial styloid process and the base of my index finger and thumb below the tiger's mouth hurt from time to time. When it hurt, I couldn't lift my entire left hand. My typing speed was slowed down. It's all a lot slower... I can't help but complain, why are the injuries always on the left side? This is so weird...

Damn it, when I typed this line, the root of my right thumb also felt a little dull pain, and my feelings were like a crow's mouth taking effect... I could only find some towels and apply a hot compress before going to bed. 】
