Alien Relic Hunter

"Then there's still hope! Maybe... I mean, maybe we can find this exit? While the big guy under the pit hasn't moved yet, let's hurry up -" Before Hound finished speaking, Yingying The green fluorescence on the ground suddenly disappeared. He turned around and found that the emerald green light pillars that originally rose from the bottom of the pit had completely disappeared, but those crystal pillars that had sunk did not rise again.

"Why did the light beam...disappear?"

"Is it possible that something from the bottom of the pit is about to climb up?" Layton held his heavy machine gun nervously, placed it on the ground, and pointed the muzzle at the edge of the giant pit. .

"Old dog, Qianye...if something really climbs up later, I will help you hold it down, and you quickly take Ke Lan to find the exit."

"Why are you trying to be a hero!" The hound kicked Layton's butt angrily, "Hold it? Do you think you can hold back a hundred-meter-level lava cantha with just your pile of scrap metal?"

"It can delay you for at least one second - you guys go away quickly, what are you doing here?!" Layton yelled, his face turned red, and the mechanical arm holding the handle clicked due to excessive pressure. Sound.

"That's not right!" Unexpectedly, the hound's expression suddenly changed, "It doesn't seem right... The situation seems different from what we imagined..."

"What's wrong?"

"Those crystal pillars have disappeared for so long... and now the green light has been extinguished, but why is there no movement?" The hound squatted on the ground, squinting at the huge pit not far away, "Those little bugs were so fast before Just climbed up, even if the big guy moves a little slowly, it has been several minutes..."

"Something's wrong." The hound simply lay down, "The noise the big guy makes when it moves should be much louder than those little bugs!"

He lay down, put the side of his helmet on the ground, and listened carefully.

"Did you hear anything?" Layton asked.

"Quiet!" Hound didn't even raise his head. He just raised a hand and gave Leighton the middle finger, "Stop making any noise! ​​Turn off your damn cannon engine. It keeps spinning like a bone." , I can’t hear any sound!”

"Oh." Layton quickly turned off the cannon engine that was in a preheating state. The sound of friction between the metal balls and bearings disappeared, and the power room suddenly became extremely quiet.

"Old dog...you...did you hear anything?" After holding his breath for nearly ten seconds, Layton couldn't help but ask the hound.

"I can't hear anything... Damn, I almost forgot. There are people in the team who are more professional than me. Why am I wasting my time here!" The hound jumped up from the ground and looked towards him with bright eyes. Asano Akira said, "Brother Asano, you have the sharpest ears among us. You were also the first to hear the sound of those little bugs crawling up just now. By the way, can you hear the movement at the bottom of the pit now?" "

Layton, Ivan... and the agents who helped Aya come over also focused their attention on this young man who had his eyes closed the whole time and his expression was calm throughout.

"There are some sounds that are very subtle and difficult to capture..." Akira Asano said softly.

The others' breaths suddenly became suffocated, and the atmosphere that had just relaxed became tense again.

No one dared to interrupt, everyone was waiting for Asano Akira to continue.

"But it doesn't sound like the scraping of joints and rocks." Asano Akira added.

"This...what kind of sound is that?"

"I don't know how to describe it." Asano Akira said honestly.

"I..." Hound suddenly had the urge to curse, but the curse words reached his throat and he swallowed them hard, "Then can you imitate it? Roughly, roughly, simply imitate it... Or Think about it carefully, among the familiar sounds in daily life, are there any similar sounds that can be used to compare with the sound you heard?"

"You can imagine what would make the sound you heard, no matter how outrageous it is." Aya also induced, "For example, the sound of thin iron sheets being torn, or the sound of nails scraping a blackboard. Category……"

"It's a bit like..." Asano Akira paused and continued, "The sound of several huge and heavy polyhedral glass balls grinding slightly on the rocky ground."

"???" Hound and Aya looked at each other in confusion. They could indeed imagine this kind of sound, but they couldn't imagine why such a strange sound was coming from the bottom of the pit.

Akira Asano's description was not abstract, but the sound was so special that they racked their brains and couldn't imagine anything else that could make a similar sound besides glass balls rolling over rocks.

Let alone the picture, I can’t even think of a specific concept.

"Damn it, if you can't think of it, just forget it. I'll just go over and take a look at it. I don't believe it can blind me a second time!" The hound said angrily, and walked towards the edge of the giant pit. go.

But Layton held him back: "Old dog, how about I go? Your eyes have not recovered yet, and my reaction speed is faster than yours. If there is any danger..."

"Fuck you." The hound broke free from Layton's hand, "You are a broken cyborg, and most of your body is a cybernetic body. If we encounter that damn resonant force field, the equipment will be scrapped at most, you... Damn it, the artificial heart will stop when the time comes, who will save you?"

"..." Layton opened his mouth slightly, but couldn't hold back a reason to refute - Hound was right. Of all the people present, the one with the most restrained resonance force field was him who had installed a large number of cybernetic weapons. If the vital life-support organs of a mechanical biochemical human being exploded like the movement of that drone, the consequences would be absolutely fatal.

"Then, be careful, old thing." Layton said, watching the hound bend over and touch the edge of the giant pit step by step.

However, the hound just stuck his head out and took a look, then burst out laughing——

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha-"

"Old dog? What's going on? What did you see?" Layton asked hurriedly.

"Hahahaha, I'm laughing so hard. I finally know why those big guys can't climb up. Hahahaha, you'll know when you come over and take a look. Hahaha..."

When the hound said this, Layton also walked to the edge of the pit full of curiosity and cautiously took a look into the pit.
