Alien Relic Hunter.

Chapter 34 "Dedication"

No, you have to find a way to get out, and it will only get deeper and deeper if you go on like this.

Just when Ke Lan was thinking about how to get rid of these gods, the priestess suddenly got off the bed and rubbed her hands and feet against Ke Lan's feet.

"...Lord Prophet, since the oracle has been completed, can the true God grant me forgiveness?"

Why is this set of rhetoric again... What does this grant of forgiveness mean?
Or are their teachings just like the Christianity of the old era, preaching that everyone is born with original sin or something, and that only with the forgiveness of the so-called true God can they go to heaven?
So do you sell indulgences?Is the second half price?Are there any discounts for packaged wholesale?

"Uh... Then, then I will grant you forgiveness on behalf of the True God." Ke Lan felt like a ruthless repeater.

But the performance of the priestess was completely different from the previous man in black. Instead of getting up, she directly hugged Ke Lan's calf, her tone suddenly carrying a hint of fear: "No, that's not the case... Please grant me forgiveness!"

Which one is this?
Ke Lan looked at the somewhat rude priestess in surprise, didn't he "give forgiveness" just now?Why is it like this?
Is this "forgiveness" not the other "forgiveness"?
Although there is still a layer of protective clothing on the outside of the pants, Ke Lan can still vaguely feel the soft touch... Combining with some of the documents he has seen before related to other cults, he can't help but immediately think of some pictures that are not suitable for children. Come……

Many cult leaders will use the excuses of "redemption" and "forgiveness" to lure female believers into having a relationship with themselves. In the eyes of those brainwashed female believers, not only will they not feel that they have been violated, but they will also hold a kind of gratitude. mentality...

This woman doesn't want to do that kind of thing with herself, does she?
"Does the true God want me to dedicate myself?"

Sure enough... Ke Lan's heart is a little tangled, should he be a beast once, or should he be better than a beast?
"No...it shouldn't be like this...I fulfilled the oracle and I should be forgiven..."

The priestess suddenly let go of Ke Lan and fell back to sit on the ground, ignoring that her vital parts were completely gone.

She began to step back, pulling the distance between her and Ke Lan.

what happened?Ke Lan looked at this woman who seemed to be a little crazy, and just shouted to "dedicate herself", why is she so reluctant now?
"no, do not want……"

The priestess's cry stopped abruptly, her body stopped moving as if it was frozen, the skin on the body quickly lost moisture and collapsed, revealing the shape of bones.

Her long smooth black hair turned mottled gray-white, her fingernails fell off one after another, and ten lush jade fingers turned into two pairs of terrifying claws in a blink of an eye.

It was as if all the vitality had been taken away in an instant, and in just a few seconds, the priestess' plump body had turned into a withered corpse.

However, only her belly became bigger and bigger, like a bulging balloon, trembling slightly.

"Damn it!" With a scolding in his heart, Ke Lan immediately put those colorful fantasies behind him, picked up his rifle, and aimed it at the mummy's abdomen.

It turns out that this woman's "devotion" is such a thing, no wonder she is so desperate... However, the process of devotion is obviously not over yet, something should have been parasitized in her body, and that thing sucked dry The flesh and blood of her whole body has now matured and is about to burst out!

Are you going to shoot?If the shot is fired, it will definitely alarm the exiles in the entire settlement. Ke Lan and the others have no more than [-]% chance of getting out of the body... If they don't shoot, the thing in the mummy's stomach is about to come out. ...

"laugh--"

The sound of the skin being torn came, and a hole appeared on the abdomen of the priestess.

A monster of this size shouldn't be too strong, right?

Ke Lan thought so, gritted his teeth, put down the gun, took out a straight-blade hunting knife, and held it in his hand.

The viscous pus mixed with blood overflowed from the crack, and the contents wriggled a few times before finally sticking out——

It was a meat worm with the thickness of a bowl. The front end of the worm body was split into four petals, and it was covered with fine fangs. Mucus with a special fishy smell kept dripping from the cracked flesh petals. .

"Why all these disgusting things..."

The meat worm's movements were a little sluggish. Facing the blade that Ke Lan stabbed, it did not dodge at all. It didn't twist and struggle violently until the blade penetrated it.

It was screaming, the sound was very shrill, a bit like a baby crying with a total loss of sound quality...

More mucus and pus and blood splattered out, and Ke Lan could only release the handle of the knife and dodge to one side.

"Although this thing looks disgusting, it's so weak... Could it be because of just being born?" Ke Lan looked at the dying meat worm with doubts in his heart.

This thing is very similar to the larvae of a giant worm that lives underground, but the question is how did it appear in the belly of the priestess?
Because it likes to swallow radioactive ores very much, the radiation content of this worm is much higher than that of most surface creatures. If a worm's eggs are put into a human body, the person will die within a few hours. Acute radiation sickness, but the priestess showed no signs of radiation sickness until she was sucked into a mummified corpse.

Moreover, the alarm of the radiation detector carried by Ke Lan has never sounded, which means that there is no radiation on the meat worm in front of him, or the radiation content is extremely low, and it has not reached the minimum threshold for triggering the alarm.

"This thing should have nothing to do with underground worms..." The underground worms secrete a terrifying strong acid, even the hardest rock formation is like a piece of tofu in front of them, but the mucus that the meat worm spatters in front of them is not It did not corrode the priestess' corpse. Although the smell was unpleasant, the properties of these liquids were very stable. No matter whether they came into contact with the corpse, carpet, metal blade or rubber on the surface of the protective clothing, there was no reaction.

Judging from the performance of the priestess before her death, she should know that there is such a thing in her body... The "forgiveness" she prayed to Ke Lan at the beginning should refer to taking this meat worm out of her body.

Could this thing be one of the punishment methods of this cult organization?Thinking of this, Ke Lan suddenly felt a chill.

The meat worm has completely drilled out of the priestess' body, and its shape is really creepy-the meat worm is more than half a meter in length, and the body surface is a layer of pale pink mucous membrane, and there are many raised bumps under the mucous membrane. Sarcoma, which is covered with tiny tentacles like roots.

"This should be... dead?"

Ke Lan tried to touch the meat worm with his toes, only those tentacles twitched like a conditioned reflex.

If it was in the past, Ke Lan would not hesitate to find a container to put the meat worms in and take away. This thing can definitely be exchanged for a good price at the Institute of Biology, but now, he only hopes to be able to do as much as possible. Get rid of these things...if time could turn back the clock, he shouldn't have been on that damn transport plane in the first place.

After carefully exiting the room, the two men in black who were waiting outside immediately greeted them and asked respectfully, "Lord Prophet...Lord Priest, is she...well?"

The screams that the meat worms made just before they were about to die is estimated to be heard by everyone in the room, but it seems that they have not doubted Ke Lan's identity, otherwise they would have rushed straight to the sound when they heard the abnormal noise. came in.

"Uh... Priest she... is a little uncomfortable, she is already resting, don't go in and disturb her." Ke Lan said in a deep voice.

It's really uncomfortable... After all, there is still such a big hole in the stomach...

"No, no... How dare we go in..." The man in black lowered his head lower, completely daring to look directly at the "Lord Prophet".

　You thought I was going to drive?In fact, I was driving a black car!
