Alien Relic Hunter

If this thing is a shadow or a mirror, then how to explain the group of tentacles on its lower body?

Ke Lan reached out and touched his legs - his legs were still fine, and there were no changes. He could even feel the elastic socks on his toes, which were specially designed for hunting dogs. The military supplies purchased by the special forces are said to cost more than one hundred credits in odd or even pairs.

That outline was obviously two completely different creatures from the monster summoned by Park Sangwoo. Although they both had sticky and greasy tentacles, the thing in front of Ke Lan retained most of its human characteristics.

At first glance, it looks a bit like a corrosive seed that has merged with the "container" to a certain extent.

"I should be able to do it a few more times..." Ke Lan gritted his teeth, took off his helmet, put his fingers together and pressed them tightly on his temples on both sides.

"Smash Varudo——"

He returned to the gray-white world again, and the silhouette of the human figure still stayed in place.

Ke Lan took half a step back, and the opponent followed up half a step; and when Ke Lan took a step forward, it stepped back the same distance.

This human-shaped shadow always kept a distance of five meters from Ke Lan, never getting close and never far away.

No, this thing is not a mirror image of myself! If it is a mirror image, it should also move away when you move away from it, and when you get closer, it will also move closer.

When Ke Lan raised his right hand before, the opponent also raised his right hand, not the mirror-symmetric "left hand".

It's not just imitating its own movements, it's more like...

Ke Lan wanted to do a few more sets of tests, but the sharp pain in the back of his mind forced him to exit the "time-stop" state.

Despite this, the duration of the "time-stop" this time reached an unprecedented length of nearly four seconds. This was a result that Ke Lan had never dared to hope for when practicing on his own before.

What does the four-second time pause mean? Not to mention anything else, just talking about one-on-one duel, Ke Lan is almost invincible - he can go around the opponent's back and put the muzzle of the gun at the opponent in these four seconds. Pulled the trigger on the back of Ke Lan's head... From the opponent's perspective, it was as if the warhead suddenly teleported from Ke Lan's magazine to his own head, unable to escape at all.

Moreover, the feeling of headache is much weaker than before, and the sequelae are not as strong as before.

How is this going?

Is this ability like some kind of skill in fantasy novels? As long as you can break through one shackle, your strength will advance by leaps and bounds before encountering the next hurdle?

Or is it because of the current environment?

Ke Lan prefers the second guess.

I just don’t know if the duration of the pause will return to its original length after I leave this place.

Although "three-second man" is a label that makes male compatriots avoid it, if the "time stop" can last for three seconds, it would be perverted enough.

Three seconds may be difficult to satisfy the girl you love; but it is more than enough to kill someone or complete some operations that are impossible to achieve under normal time flow.

Ke Lan activated "Time Stop" again.

Then he picked up the gun and pointed it at the "shadow" five meters away.

He pulled the trigger, and the bullet froze in mid-air just as it flew out of the muzzle. There was even a circle of gray-white airflow that was also solidified around the muzzle. Under the effect of the "grey-white filter", this circle The airflow is like a big messy marshmallow ball.

In the "time-stop" state, only things that Ke Lan directly touches can be "moved" by him. When the things are out of his contact, they will blend into the background and become part of the freeze-frame picture.

He moved the muzzle an inch laterally, fired again, and then canceled the "time stop."

Calculated based on the muzzle velocity, the bullet will hit the target within a few tenths of a second after Ke Lan releases the "time-stop" state - of course, the premise is that the target is "can be hit."

Just when Ke Lan was about to enter the "time-stop" state again to observe the shooting effect, a large number of memory fragments rushed out from the depths of his mind like a floodgate. His brain was even unable to process such a situation for a while. The large amount of information caused a brief "downtime" state.

Many pictures flashed by at high speed like a slideshow. Before he could even see the contents clearly, these memory fragments were silent again. Ke Lan felt like he was holding a TV set playing at 64 times speed. Even if he stared at the screen intently, he couldn't capture enough information.

If what is played on the screen is a continuous piece of content, even if the speed is faster, you can still guess some of the plot by connecting the previous and later contexts, but what happens to be broadcast is a post-modernism movie full of absurd and weird styles. In an art editing film, each frame is completely independent content. There is not even a single repeated scene among the hundreds and thousands of pictures that flash by in one breath. Even a genius with extraordinary memory would probably have to He looked confused.

If these memory fragments are compared to raindrops falling from the sky at high speed, then Ke Lan's consciousness is like a person standing on the edge of a cliff to catch water with both hands - the rain is pouring down, and his palm is as big as his hand. , the rainwater that can be caught is only the handful in the palm of the hand.

Ke Lan only remembered three scenes.

The first scene is of a square that is so vast that it seems to have no boundaries. The sky above the square is covered by heavy lead-gray clouds. From time to time, several flashes of lightning will flash among the clouds, lighting up a corner of the sky for a moment.

The scenery in this sky is almost identical to the molten mine area, except that there are no plumes of sulfur smoke rising from the ground.

And in this square, there were thousands of people standing.

Of course, the word "人" needs to be enclosed in double quotes.

These people are almost identical to the "shadow" Ke Lan saw in the time-stop state: they have human upper bodies, and their legs are replaced by a large group of tangled tentacles, just like the legendary creature mermaid Same.

However, this mermaid fish refers to an octopus.

These "people" are five meters apart from each other in front, back, left, and right, and they stand neatly, just like a parade ark being lined up for review.

What makes Ke Lan a little regretful is that he can't see the faces of these creatures clearly - when he focuses on their faces, the focus of his vision becomes blurry, just like being recognized by the AI ​​​​of the child supervision plug-in It has become a scene that is not suitable for children, as if it has been automatically mosaic.

Ke Lan had already experienced this scene once in the bottomless sinkhole, that dream full of bugs - he knew that he couldn't see the faces of these things clearly, not because his sight was blocked by the mosaic. It's because these faces don't exist in his memory at all.

[P.P.S. I originally wanted to use the stream-of-consciousness writing technique to dig a few holes, but after writing it, I realized that my writing skills are still not good, and painting a tiger is not the opposite of a dog... I am a B-type, please be a little considerate.

There should be another chapter later, and it will most likely be a 4,000-word chapter. This chapter can be regarded as an extra update for the Silver League boss. 】
