Alien Relic Hunter

"What else do you know?" Aya Breya stared at Ke Lan. She knew that Ke Lan's rhetoric was to perfunctory her, but she had absolutely nothing to do about it. After all, her superiors had not approved it. Their interrogation request for Ke Lan and others.

And now, this guy has even become his superior...

This is probably the feeling of "helplessness".

"I've told you everything." Ke Lan shrugged, "It's your turn to answer my question. What is the last mission of the 776 Special Forces Team?"

"I don't know either." Aya's answer was quite straightforward. "Didn't you already have the highest authority over the Security Bureau's archives? Since you haven't found these things, that means they are not related to restarting 'Yaguna.' But like the Thor project, it has not been archived at all...or it has been completely deleted."

"So how much do you know about the Seed of Corrosion attack on the Security Bureau headquarters?" Ke Lan asked another question, "The descriptions in the file only include casualty figures and loss statistics. These data are dry and difficult to carry out. Brainstorming, I want to know something more detailed."

"I hadn't joined the Security Bureau at that time. How much inside information do you think I could know?" Aya asked.

"I think it's impossible for no one within the Security Bureau to mention this kind of thing, right? Although it may be a shame for you, there will always be some curious guys who want to find out the truth...even if it is an added legend. Okay, let’s talk about it.” Ke Lan encouraged.

"There are no legends." Aya shook her head slightly, "Although there is no hush-hush order within the Security Bureau, few people are willing to mention that incident... All the staff involved in the attack that year , either chose to retire or were transferred from front-line positions. Now, in the entire Security Bureau, except for a very few senior officials, there is no one who has personally experienced that incident." Aya explained.

"What a pity." Ke Lan stood up, carefully folded the small piece of paper written in Spanish into a square the size of a fingernail, and carefully stuffed it into the sealed bag inside the equipment used to store important items.

"Do you want to continue the autopsy?" Ivan, who was squatting next to the corpse, raised his head and looked at Ke Lan.

"Well, let's continue the dissection." Ke Lan said, "At least we have to figure out how Alfonso died."

…

The dissection work was proceeding in an orderly manner here, while on the other side, Layton's drone discovered some new clues.

Alfonso's equipment and clothes were scattered less than twenty meters away from the body. After making sure that there was no danger around, Layton picked up all these things.

There were no obvious signs of damage on Alfonso's protective clothing and external equipment, but the inner lining of clothing was torn to pieces. At the same time, Ivan also found stains from these clothing inside his nails. Fiber debris.

This shows that he most likely tore the clothes himself.

"This guy...does he have a mental illness like exhibitionism?" Hound curled his lips and said.

"Not necessarily, he might be crazy." Ke Lan looked at Alfonso's equipment and said without raising his head, "There are many hunters who have been mentally disturbed by unknown influences in the ruins."

"Then his skin was peeled off by himself, right? Where was the knife hidden in the peeled skin?" The hound's eyes moved to the abdomen of the corpse, "Could it be...could he have swallowed it by himself? Bar?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ivan used a large scalpel to cut open Alfonso's abdominal cavity, as if to test this possibility.

The stomach pouch was empty, and there were no suspicious residues in the esophagus and intestines.

"I think even if he is crazy, he can't complete such a delicate operation as skinning." Ke Lan picked up a piece of fabric and said, "Look, this piece of clothing was obviously torn to pieces by brute force, and skinning requires It is a precise force and angle, and if you are not careful, the muscle tissue will be injured... But Ivan also said that the peeling technique is perfect, this is not a job that can be completed by a person in a crazy state."

"It is impossible for humans to peel their own skin." Ivan murmured, "There are some blind spots that are simply impossible to reach without the help of professional tools, but I have a guess."

"What guess?"

"It is also possible that his skin was not peeled off, but was 'burned' away by some highly corrosive substance. As long as the dose is properly controlled, it is possible to completely remove the skin without any damage to the muscle tissue. ." Ivan said, "I once treated a relic hunter. He accidentally touched a similar liquid in the relic. As a result, the skin on the back of the entire hand disappeared, but the bones, muscles and The soft tissues were all unscathed.”

"Will this method leave any traces? Blood, pus or some form of residue?" Ke Lan looked at the pile of things uncertainly, "There was no blood on his clothes. I found that The ground between the clothes and the body was also very clean, and the only blood stains were only on the handle and receiver of the gun, which was very strange."

"It's very strange, but this kind of thing is not completely impossible - as far as I know, with the current level of human science and technology, there are several ways to perfectly replicate this scene, let alone Alpha Civilization and A more advanced third civilization." Ivan said, "The cause of death was found to be severe blood loss from the autopsy, but I could not find severely damaged blood vessels. The blood in his body seemed to have evaporated out of thin air. This is what makes me Where you feel confused.”

"In other words, this guy first encountered a monster, then blew up the gun. Then, in despair, he completely fell into madness, tore off his clothes, and then was drained of blood by the monster. The skin fell off and the body was dumped in this place?" The hound tried to reconstruct what happened to Alfonso, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt that there seemed to be a problem in some link.

In other words, there are problems in every link.

Like the three researchers, Alfonso did not find any valuable clues in his belongings, whether it was paper information carriers such as diaries or digital information carriers such as memory cards and video tapes. This pile of things The only things with the most text printed on them that can be found are his ID card and work badge.

"This shouldn't be the case. For an exploration mission like this that may have no return, you should carry as much recording equipment as possible. I think it's not too much to be armed to the teeth with all kinds of cameras, but their The personal belongings are too simple, right? Even the patrol team stationed at the base will bring more than this, right?" Ke Lan said a little depressed.

"Could it have been left on the vehicle?" One of Aya's agents suddenly asked.

"The mini camera commonly used by relic hunters and the memory card that can store 24 hours of video weigh less than a hundred grams together, and are about the same size as your antique lighter. You can just hang it on your shoulder strap. It's basically It’s not a burden... Several times when I came back from missions, I would remember that there was a camera hanging on my shoulder when I was taking a shower... How could such a small thing end up on a vehicle?"
