Alien Relic Hunter

"You can understand it this way." Chiron said lightly, "I am not very clear about the principle... If I were here two hundred and ninety years ago, I might go crazy because of this... …But now, I just want to complete my final mission and sleep.”

"Then will you report this matter to Ark?" Ke Lan continued to ask, "I don't want to try my best to escape back to the ground, only to be caught by a group of security agents as soon as I landed and sent to the institute. go."

"No." Chiron said, "To be honest, during these decades of exile, I have thought about many things... I always feel that some of the choices made by my colleagues may lead humans to... To a more dangerous situation... I didn't agree with their approach, but I couldn't come up with a better plan... Although I was tortured in my heart, I never resisted the orders from the crew association... And this time, I want to give it a try.”

"Can you please speak clearly?" Ke Lan said, holding back the curse words that had already rushed to his throat, "Is it fun to be mysterious?"

"Those things you cannot know yet," Chiron said.

"I don't even know how many times I have heard this! The two guys who met the Undead Crew Club earlier also said the same thing. Are you all Riddlers?" Ke Lan couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He was irritated, "Anyway, it seems that you are planning to break up with the Undead Crew, so why don't you reveal a little bit of those secrets to me? If the operation to seize the airship fails later, then I can die clearly. Right? I don’t want to be a fool.”

"The reason for not telling you the truth is to protect you." Chiron said, "On one point, I agree with the actions of Hermaphroditus and Themis."

"I'm sorry!" Ke Lan finally couldn't hold it back and cursed.

"Also, because of her request, I will also choose to remain silent." Chiron continued.

"She?" Ke Lan looked at the expressionless girl standing beside her like a doll.

"Yes. She wants to experience life as a 'human', so she hopes we can keep it a secret for her."

Ke Lan swallowed with some difficulty, and then said: "Let me confirm again, she...she wants to live on the Ark...right?"

This time the answer was not relayed by Chiron, but by herself - the girl looked at Ke Lan and nodded lightly.

"Are you crazy..." Ke Lan scratched his hair in confusion, "Not to mention anything else, it's just a matter of identity..."

"With my authority, this is not a problem," Chiron said.

"That's right... after all, you are a member of the Immortal Crew... Oh, former member... Anyway, you have the final say on the entire Ark... But the problem is... it really doesn't work to bring 'her' to the Ark..." Will it cause any confusion? Although she looks no different from a human being, you should know better than me what she actually is, right?"

"She said she would listen to you and be willing to abide by all the rules of human society." Chiron continued, "I can read her mind. She really wants to live as a 'human'."

"Let me slowly...slowly..." Ke Lan waved his hand, squatted down, and rubbed his face vigorously, "This is so fucking weird...There was someone just now who wanted to prove it hoarsely. He is no longer a human being, but a creature that is completely different from humans... And now, there is something that is completely incompatible with humans except for appearance, but he wants to settle on the Ark as a human being... …This is really…so weird…”

"What's the reason?" Ke Lan suddenly raised his head and looked at the girl, "You have to give me a reason that can convince me. Otherwise, even if you kill me, I won't be able to bring you to the ark. .Who knows how long your interest in 'human life' will last. What if one day you suddenly get bored and go on a killing spree in the city center? Then wouldn't I become a sinner for the ages?"

"She read your memory from me. She longed for the kind of life between you and your friends. She said she didn't want to live in this world as a weapon."

"Is it that simple?" Ke Lan's expression showed a slight change.

"It's that simple." Chiron said, "Her mind, from a certain perspective, is similar to that of a newborn baby, and you are the first person she comes into contact with after waking up."

"The first person? Was it when you were in East Ninth District?" Hearing this, Ke Lan couldn't help but think of a saying. After birth, the cubs of many animals will regard the first thing they see as their own. My mother... Is this thing about feelings that she recognizes herself as my mother?

"Forget it, let's not discuss these things in a hurry - can you prepare the space shuttle quickly? Solving the problem of the puppet individual first is the top priority." Ke Lan simply took the initiative to change the topic.

"I have issued instructions to all the servants of God who have established a mental link with me, asking them to stop their aggressive actions, and told your companions part of the information about this matter. Of course, I have no information about her identity. Reveal it to anyone and you will have to explain it yourself at the time.”

"... Feelings, you still let your men attack my teammates."

"Don't worry, no one of your teammates was injured. On the contrary, they killed many incomplete experimental subjects... If my men hadn't stopped them, they would have rushed here by now." Chiron explained. .

"Okay...but how should I explain her identity?" Ke Lan muttered, "By the way, do you have a name?"

"They... they called me... Zero... Zero... Experimental Subject." The girl opened her mouth and said intermittently.

"I mean the name, not the number... Well, it seems like you don't have such a thing, so I'll get you one... Number zero... zero... zero... How about calling it Zero? No. , this name sounds like a Caucasian, and your face shape is obviously Asian... How about Ze Luo? This way it sounds more like a Chinese name. As a name-picker, I have tried my best."

"Ze... Luo..." The girl repeated the name she had just given with some difficulty.

"Oh, by the way, can you change your appearance? Your current appearance is really... too dazzling, do you understand what I mean?" Ke Lan continued to say to the girl.

"Oh." The girl nodded, and the next second, her figure began to change... Before long, a fake "Zophia Soma" stood in front of Ke Lan's eyes, and The clothes Ke Lan put on her earlier had also fallen to the ground.

"She asked me to ask you if you like this look." Chiron asked.

"...You should change back to your original appearance." Ke Lan covered his forehead and said, "But with a slight change in appearance... Oh, by the way, you can use Chiron to read my thoughts, right? Then you Just make your face according to my ideas..."

Ze Luo finally returned to her original appearance as a girl, but her appearance and figure were slightly adjusted to a certain extent. Although she still maintained a very high level of appearance, at least she would not be as shocking as before.

"The hair, the color of the hair also needs to be changed. White hair is really eye-catching." Ke Lan continued, "As a Chinese, your hair should be black."
