Alien Relic Hunter

"Is there any evidence?" The old dog looked a little ugly. "I have never doubted your identity. Likewise, I will not doubt Liao Zilang... He has been following me for so many years, and I know him very well..."

"Then are you sure that Liao Zilang who came up from the water is the one you know?" Ke Lan thought of the lump of meat that became exactly like a hound under the glacier ruins last time. This shows that the Alpha civilization is completely The ability to copy an exact Liao Zilang, but unfortunately, only he has retained these memories, and Hound and the others know nothing about it now.

"Ke Lan," the old dog gave him a thoughtful look, "you have to know that in the eyes of people like us... you are actually more questionable than Liao Zilang. Do you know... the equipment you are wearing? , many of them were discontinued before I was born, and you may not even be able to find them in those thrift stores on the black market.”

He paused and continued: "At first, we thought you found an exploration team that died a long time ago underwater, but the problem is... those equipment are not used to perform underwater exploration missions at all... And that diary..."

He shook his head: "There's no way to explain it. Before you wake up, we can't explain the origin of those things at all... But at least we can help you keep the secret. Otherwise, it's not us who are guarding the corridor outside now." He is now an agent of the Security Bureau."

Hound pulled a stool and sat down by the bed: "When you were swept away by the undercurrent, Liao Zilang almost took his own life to save you... You shouldn't doubt him... or Say, you have to give me a reason, a reason that is enough to convince me."

"Okay, I'll tell you everything - wait a minute, is there a monitoring device in this room?" Ke Lan raised his head with some effort and looked around.

"Yes," Hound reached into his pocket and took out several bugs, "but we had already dismantled them before you came in."

"That's good, no matter what I say next, don't be too surprised...although I know that those things...sound like fantasy."

"You said it." The hound nodded.

…

From seeing the giant eye stone pillar, to entering the abyss hatchery, encountering the fusion body, and then falling into the deep sea and arriving at that desert island inexplicably... until he opened the airtight door and was killed by that black man The shadow pushed down the cliff. Except for those "things" that only he could see, Ke Lan described everything he had experienced in detail.

The expression on the hound's face was extremely strange. It was obvious that he wanted to interrupt Ke Lan's narration more than once, but in the end he held back. It wasn't until Ke Lan finished speaking that he opened his mouth in confusion, but couldn't say a single word. Didn't ask.

After a long silence, he suddenly said: "... To be honest, I don't dare to shoot movies like this these days... but the things you brought back made me believe it."

He turned his head to look at the closed door behind him, then back again, and said word by word: "You mean... you finally saw Liao Zilang suddenly appear in that tunnel, and then he pushed you Off a cliff, right?”

"right."

"Are you sure you saw it correctly? Is it possible it's an hallucination or something..."

"The possibility of hallucinations cannot be ruled out, but I think it is necessary to verify Liao Zilang's identity... Of course, if you are worried about me, you can also verify whether I am really Ke Lan." Ke Lan said.

"...How many shots did the doctor shoot at Jiang Lian at the A-087 ruins?"

"Two shots."

"The shot area?"

"They were all in the torso and back. One shot hit the heart... I was still asking him why he didn't shoot in the leg. I was very impressed by this. Let's change the question."

"No need," Hound nodded, "I understand, just wait for me for a moment, I'll be back soon."

After saying that, he opened the door and walked out.

In less than ten minutes, the hound came back. He and Ke Lan looked at each other and shook their heads: "There is no problem with Liao Zilang's identity."

"That's good..."

"However, I discovered something else." As he said that, he handed the tablet in front of Ke Lan's eyes.

What appeared on the screen was a paper file that looked a bit old. It was filled with seals with the words "top secret" and "voided". When Ke Lan saw the file at first glance, he was attracted by the words in the upper right corner. The photo grabs most of the attention.

In the photo is a young man whose appearance is 70% similar to Liao Zilang's.

"Who is this?"

Ke Lan's eyes moved to the "Name" column, only to find that it had been smeared with ink - not only that, but there were traces of such smearing everywhere in other places as well.

"Liao Xing, Liao Zilang's grandfather." Hound said, "Former member of the SDU special forces, in 902... that is, forty-eight years ago, he was transferred to the 776th Special Forces Team. In the same year, M.I.A...."

"...Could it be that the one who pushed me down..." Ke Lan swallowed subconsciously, "is Liao Zilang's grandfather?"

"It should be...after all, you found the 776 Special Forces Team that had been missing for forty-eight years on that island, and Liao Xing should be among them." Hound nodded.

"But...the rest of the team is dead, how...how did he survive in that place for so many years, and he doesn't look old at all..." Ke Lan paused at this point. He has confirmed that the speed of time on that island is different from that of the outside world, but this only refers to relative time and will not have any impact on things on the island - otherwise, those 776 special effects The corpses of the squad's soldiers simply don't turn into skeletons, and the fabric they wear doesn't rot.

"I don't know about this... I want to find out the last mission performed by the 776 Special Forces Team..."

"Have you found it?"

"No." Hound shook his head with some regret, "I thought at first I didn't have enough permissions... But I soon discovered that it was not a question of permissions, but that the last mission they performed did not exist in the archives... Either it was never recorded in the first place, or it was deleted."

"Old dog...I think he may not be a human being anymore...at least, not a 'normal' human being."

"But have you ever thought that he...may not want to kill you."

"Um?"

"According to what you said, after you were pushed off the cliff, you mysteriously appeared on the sea around the Pioneer... If it hadn't been for his push, you might still be trapped in that tunnel... From this perspective, does his action count as... to save you from that hellish place?"
