Alien Relic Hunter.

Chapter 410 The End of the Event (4000-word chapter)
The bullets in the magazine were emptied almost instantly, and Ke Lan didn't bother to change the magazine. He directly held the under-mounted shotgun installed under the barrel, and put an 18.4 mm caliber No. 00 The deer bullet (Note 1) is filled into the barrel, and the moment the pull bolt is loaded, the trigger has been pulled and the firing is completed.

"Bang!!"

Eight steel balls with a caliber of [-] inches drilled into the depths of the throat in an instant, and the face blocked by the gun barrel let out an inhuman cry, and black blood shot continuously from all the orifices come out.

"The last shot was for Alyosha and the many agents who died in the East Ninth District incident."

"Bang!!"

"This shot was shot for Major Ashkani and the soldiers of the Garrison Corps who died."

"Bang!!"

"This shot was shot for Ms. Victoria."

After three shots, this face was completely cracked open, fragmented pieces of flesh blocked the barrel of the shotgun, and black viscous juice flowed along the lines of the receiver, and then dripped to the ground.

Ke Lan threw down the assault rifle, pulled out a large-caliber hunting pistol, and slammed it into the eye socket of the other face. The eyeball burst open, and debris, pus and blood lay on Ke Lan's side. A black smear was left on his face.

"The seven bullets in this magazine are used to mourn Liao Zilang and Marshall."

"Bah bah bah bah bah bah!"

Ke Lan pulled the trigger continuously and emptied all the magazines of the pistol.

"Ahhhh—" that face let out a sharp howl, and beside it, another ferocious and fierce face that originally belonged to a middle-aged man stretched out towards Ke Lan desperately, Its upper and lower jaws opened and closed continuously, as if trying to bite off Ke Lan's throat.

"The vitality is really damn tenacious." Ke Lan pulled the pistol out of the eye socket of the previous face, and then smashed it hard. The alloy barrel and slide slammed into the face that wanted to Bite the person's mouth, and directly sweep off all its teeth!

"You monster, it's time to let the souls of those victims rest in peace." Ke Lan took out a grenade, pulled off the safety ring, stuffed it into the toothless mouth, and then pushed hard with the barrel of the gun, It went deep in the throat.

"boom!!"

A dull explosion sound came from inside the body of the individual puppet, a dozen faces drooped, and black asphalt-like "blood" slowly flowed down from their closed eyes.

But when Ke Lan turned his attention to the other side of the puppet, he realized that Ze Luo was far more "ruthless" than himself.

Just like the top chef in Japan is processing yusheng, the invisible blade continuously slices the body of the puppet into thin and almost transparent slices, and even the splashed black asphalt is blown away by a wave. An invisible force was imprisoned in midair.

"Are you looking for something?" Ke Lan glanced at Ze Luo with a serious face, and asked.

"Well. The core of the individual puppet, there is another half of the crystal." Ze Luo replied.

"Half a crystal? Wait a minute, are you talking about the thing that was integrated into my body? What was absorbed by my body...is actually only half of that thing?"

"Well. After I separated it, I asked you to take it away. If I had a complete crystal, I would have successfully transformed before being bombarded. At that time, I would also completely become that Human puppet, at his mercy." Ze Luo explained to Ke Lan while continuing to slice the individual puppet.

"Then the calling I heard back then? Also because of...?"

"Well, if you want to separate the crystals, you must find a person who can serve as a carrier. Apart from that person, you are the only one left among all the human beings I can sense."

"...So, that guy didn't lie to me. He and I are really 'different' individuals. But...but why is it me? Is it because I absorbed the things sealed in that stone tablet ?” Ke Lan scratched his hair in distress, only to find that his hair had been cluttered with sticky black pitch, and the disgusting feeling was indescribable in words.

"However, after I came into contact with that stone tablet, the abilities I gained were only the language ability of the Alpha civilization, and the memory fragments sealed up by the Alpha civilization. Those are all things on the level of consciousness. For my body itself It didn't have any effect. And my body started to become different from normal people, it was after the East Ninth District incident...that is, after fusing the half of the 'crystal' you gave me."

Ke Lan continued: "I think, the human beings that can be used as the carrier of 'crystal' in your mouth must have very high requirements for the body, but at that time my body can only be regarded as a relatively strong ordinary human being, nothing else. Let’s say, Akira Asano, Layton, and Zhuo Ligetu are all physically stronger than me... No matter how I think about it, I can’t think of anything special about me.”

"I don't know." Zelo replied, "I don't have memories of childhood and dormancy. My self-awareness was awakened after the sacrificial ceremony. All my knowledge comes from those who were sacrificed. The victims, that man, Chiron... and you, your question, I cannot answer."

"..." Ke Lan lowered her hands helplessly. Although Ze Luo's speech is much smoother now than it was a few hours ago, in a sense, she is less than a year away from being "born" , by human standards, it is still a baby.

Although she is the creation of the Alpha civilization, she can't even speak the language of the Alpha civilization, let alone the secrets related to "crystallization".

Maybe you have to ask the founder of the heretical sect about this kind of thing—as for his double, it was obviously brainwashed before it was sent here, and even Chiron couldn't dig it out of the double's memory. Come up with something useful.

"However, what I can confirm is that the reason why you can fit with this crystal is your own reasons, and has nothing to do with that stele." Ze Luo said suddenly, "The stele and this crystal are the same kind of thing, Even if your teammates touched the stele at that time, the stele will not be activated."

"Ok?"

"You and that person are of the same kind." Ze Luo looked into Ke Lan's eyes and said, "It's not because you all inherited those things from the Alpha civilization, but because you were the same kind from the moment you were born...you and His relationship is like me and the puppet individual..."

"You mean to say that you are not a normal human being after birth? This statement...is hard for me to accept." Ke Lan shook his head self-consciously, "I am not a baby born naturally from a woman's womb, from fertilization From egg to embryo to baby, my state has been monitored by machines. If my genes deviate from normal humans...whether it mutates into a monster or evolves into a superman, the monitoring equipment should be in the first place. It’s right to find out right away. If that’s the case, then my life in the first 20 years should be different.”

"I don't know, but I have a feeling." Zelo said, suddenly looking at Marshall's headless corpse in the distance, "You and them are not the same kind."

"Can I understand that you are calling me inhuman?" Ke Lan suddenly didn't know what kind of expression to make, so he could only twitch the corners of his mouth, pointing his finger at the tip of his nose, and asked half-sarcastically and half-self-deprecatingly road.

"I'm not scolding you." Ze Luo shook his head, "I'm just stating to you the information collected by my sensory organs, which doesn't contain the meaning of insult, and, I don't think the sentence of not being human is not a curse. "

"This sentence is scolding, you are still young, don't be misled by that pervert who is full of thoughts of not wanting to be a human... Besides, don't you look forward to living as a human being? Then just remember, I am A person... Well, you will also be a person in the future, we are all human beings, not some messy monster, understand?"

Ze Luo looked at Ke Lan expressionlessly, tilted his head, paused for a few seconds as if he was thinking about something, and then nodded.

I have to say, if you ignore the blood stains on the girl's body and what she is doing under her hands, her appearance is really cute, and she can definitely become a popular character in any drama.

Anyway... the current audience doesn't care what the character is, as long as it looks good...

"By the way, since you said that I am different from ordinary humans, can you tell me in detail what is different?" Ke Lan suddenly remembered this matter and asked quickly.

Ze Luo: "I can't say it, it's just a feeling."

"Come on, it's useless to ask." Ke Lan shook the black asphalt on his hands with some disappointment.

The individual puppet should be dead, the faces on it have closed their eyes, no matter how much Zelo sliced ​​it, Ke Lan stopped screaming, and Ke Lan simply ignored the rotten meat, turned around and walked towards Marshall's. corpse.

He gathered up the scattered fragments of Marshall's skull and wrapped them in the other's cloak.

Marshall's body was still warm, and his limbs were not yet stiff. Ke Lan stuffed the cloak wrapped in bone fragments into his arms, and carried his body to the door of the emergency rescue cabin.

This kind of emergency rescue capsule is an escape device used in emergency situations. Unlike a lifeboat, this thing is about the size of a coffin. Only one person can lie down in a rescue capsule, and it does not have any power device. After the airship is launched, it can only drift in the universe with inertia and gravity until it is discovered by friendly search and rescue personnel.

"But it's not bad to use this thing as your final destination, at least you don't need to expose the corpse to the wilderness... Ah no, it should be said to expose the corpse to space."

Ke Lan pushed Marshall's body into the rescue chamber, and then pulled down the release valve.

"I will help you publish your poems on the Internet. Goodbye, have a good dream."

Pushed by the compressed gas, the silver-white rescue capsule quickly slid out of the empty ship, and with the constantly flashing signal lights, it drifted smoothly towards the dark deep space in the distance.

When the power of the rescue capsule is exhausted and the signal light stops flashing, it will merge with the darkness and can no longer be found.

At least that's what Marshall's last wish was.

"Perhaps Akira Asano should be sent to see him off for the last time." Ke Lan rubbed his hands with some relief, "Oh, forget it, my head exploded, it would be more honorable to leave like this."

Just as Ke Lan turned around, she saw Ze Luo inserting her slender and tender arms into the depths of the puppet's body. One black and one white formed a very sharp visual contrast. She almost exposed most of her body. Into this pile of rotten meat... However, as soon as Ke Lan thought that these "rotten meat" were originally part of her body, the sense of disobedience in this picture instantly decreased a lot.

"I found it."

Ze Luo pulled out from the "rotten flesh", and the black asphalt stained on her cheeks, arms, shoulders and neck was quickly absorbed by her skin. Except for the blood stains on the clothes, the girl's body The body once again returned to a white and flawless state.

"That half of the 'crystal'."

"Hmm." Like a child offering a treasure to an adult, Ze Luo carefully raised her clasped hands to Ke Lan's face. In her palm lay an irregular crystal like obsidian.

To be precise, it's a half.

"This thing... can really control time?" Although Ke Lan has experienced this magical ability countless times, he still couldn't help asking when the real thing appeared in front of him.

"Yeah." Zelo nodded.

"Then are you going to deal with this thing like this? Eat it?" Ke Lan asked.

"You come to absorb it and complete the half of the crystal in your body." Zelo said.

"I'll absorb it? What about you?"

"Only you can fuse it. I can only use its power, but I can't completely absorb it." Ze Luo said, "Otherwise I wouldn't be able to dig it out of the body of the puppet individual."

【P.S.注释1：18.4毫米即为常见的12号霰弹标准口径，因为写成12号口径00号鹿弹读起来会很拗口，所以换了一个说法。

The labels No. 10, No. 12, and No. 16 refer to the caliber of the shotgun. This name comes from the caliber specification of the old-fashioned shotgun. At that time, the shotgun could only fire round lead bullets, and a pound of lead could be made The number of rounds of buckshot represents the caliber of the shotgun in which it is used—for example, a 12-gauge shotgun requires one-twelfth of a pound of lead to make it.

As for the seven labels of 000, 00, 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4, they are the exclusive labels of buckshot (the other two special ammunition for shotguns, one is bird bullets similar to iron sand, and the other is unique. Head shot), this label represents the diameter of each lead shot or steel ball in a shotgun, the diameter of No. 000 is the largest, which is 0.36 inches, and the diameter of No. 4 is the smallest, which is 0.24 inches. (One inch is 25 millimeters, you can convert it yourself.)]
