Alien Relic Hunter.

Chapter 412 Outrageous Escort Mission

"If you can stop your activities at the moment, isn't it really Dior's 'smashing Varudo'..." Ke Lan rubbed his forehead. "This thing...could it really be a fucking emissary?"

It is naturally a good thing that skills become stronger. As a senior JO chef who has read "JOJO's Bizarre Adventure" manga from one to eight comics several times, Ke Lan certainly knows what a perverted ability it is... But, two The zero-point version of the "time stop" skill, the "mana consumption" is really too scary.

Originally Ke Lan activated "Time Stop", which could last for several seconds at most, but if it is divided into multiple activations, the total duration can be extended to a rather exaggerated level... But now, just using it for a while, he It feels like the mental power has almost been drained, and it is simply impossible to use it in actual combat.

Unless he can make his mental power strong enough to be like a monster...

Thinking of this, Ke Lan subconsciously looked at Ze Luo, while the latter was looking at the pile of messy corpses of the puppet individual on the ground, wondering what he was thinking.

"Hey, the ship will go straight when it reaches the bridge... Let's think about these things later." Ke Lan thought in his heart, walked back to the control terminal, turned on the broadcast switch of the hangar, and said to the microphone:

"The matter is settled, Ivan, Layton, and Akira Asano, you all come to the bridge, and the others can rest where they are."

……

……

Five days later, in the fourth east area of ​​the Ark, the headquarters of the "God Hunting Group", the head's office.

Ke Lan, who was wearing a floral shirt and the same style of beach shorts, was lying on the leather boss chair, her feet with flip flops between her toes were placed on the desk in an extremely arrogant posture, and a very rare paper book in this era The quality book was spread out to cover his face, and a slight snoring sound continued to come from under the book.

It has been four days since he came back from the "Southern Sixteenth District". During these four days, Ke Lan spent almost 80.00% of his time sleeping—and for the rest of the time, he spent all his time except eating, bathing, and going to the toilet. Quietly practicing the 2.0 version of the "time stop" skill in his own room.

Although the duration of the skill didn't lengthen, and the tingling feeling deep in his brain didn't lessen...but at least, he wouldn't scream out because of the severe pain.

In the past few days, Ke Lan wondered more than once whether he had the nature of a masochist, but every time his mental state recovered, he couldn't help but try again—this kind of power is so attractive, Even if it is only for a short moment, even if he needs to endure great pain, when Ke Lan steps into the world of only black and white, he can't help but be intoxicated by it.

If you use the words of the "psychopath" who doesn't want to be a human being, then this is almost "power from the gods".

Although Ke Lan doesn't want to admit it, when the skill is activated, he always has the illusion that he is the master of this world...

"Sure enough, I read too many online articles..."

Ke Lan stretched out his hand, lifted a corner of the book covering his face, and looked at Ze Luo, who was sitting on the sofa opposite the office.

The girl's sitting posture was impeccable. Her hands were flat on her knees, her head was slightly lowered, and she was concentrating on the tablet computer on the coffee table—that was the only request Ze Luo made to Ke Lan after she came here. .In this tablet computer, all the books and documents that can be downloaded in the Ark library are stored, from the rubbings of ancient characters on the Rosetta Stone to the cool novels written by those "overbearing presidents and sons-in-law of the God of War" in the middle and late periods of the Earth Era ...almost everything.And during these four days, apart from eating, showering and going to the toilet, Ze Luo was reading everything.

Unlike Ke Lan, she never sleeps. Although Ke Lan told her that as a "human being", she should sleep for at least 6-8 hours a day, but even in bed, the girl still holds the tablet computer, hungrily reading.

On Zeluo's face, apart from seriousness, there is no other expression at all, densely packed words are reflected in her pupils, and these words are scrolling on the screen at an extremely fast speed - not only does she not sleep , The speed of reading is more than ten times that of normal human beings.

"With this kind of vigor, in the old era, it is estimated that it would be easy to get into any prestigious Ivy League school." This is the hound's evaluation of her.

As for Zelo's identity issue, it was handled by Chiron. When the group returned to the ark, Zelo already had a complete and legal identity certificate, including a series of documents from birth to the present position. The resume can be found in the archives, so detailed that it is almost impossible to find faults.

……

Outside the head's office is the office area for the hunting group's senior managers—of course, it's an office area, but it's actually just a common room.Several solid wood desks have been moved to the wall, and an exquisitely crafted pool table has been moved to the center of the office.

"Hey, I haven't received any entrustment for a week, sit and eat... sit and eat!" The hound sat on the sofa next to the pool table, holding a billiard cue with a market price of more than four figures in his arms, constantly Thinking about it brokenly.

"It used to be fine, one person was full and the whole family was not hungry, but now the entire hunting group has hundreds of mouths to eat, oh, and those iron lumps in the underground hangar, for fucking maintenance Motor oil is more expensive than the oil that people eat... That guy Ke Lan is good, he left everything to me, and he became a shopkeeper... This brat, if he is not in charge, he doesn't know how expensive firewood is, and now he has to spend so much every day A lot of money, but I didn't get a cent, alas, I'm so worried."

"Didn't you have two commissions that came to you yesterday? Why did you push it away, old dog?" Layton leaned on the back of the sofa, holding an extra-large bag of potato chips in his arms.

"A mission to explore D-level ruins is too shameful. We are a consortium-level hunting group. People come to us with this kind of mission, and they look down on us." The hunting dog said, "As for the other one, it is even more outrageous. They actually asked us to escort a convoy. Shouldn't they go to mercenaries or PMCs for this fucking thing? Why are you looking for us? If it weren't for my good temper, I would have scolded those two idiots out. "

"Speaking of escort missions...I heard some outrageous news recently." Ivan, who was lying on the table and hitting the ball, raised his head and said.

"What news? Let's hear it." Layton replied with interest.

"It seems to be a woman who wanted to inspect her family's property in the wilderness, and recruited a few mercenaries as bodyguards, but suddenly pulled out a gun on the road and shot the mercenary who was driving to death."

"Huh? Which one is this acting on? That mercenary's hands and feet are dishonest? Seeing sex? Or is he trying to kill people and get money?" asked the hound.

"I don't know if it's murder, but there's a high probability that it's impossible to have sex... That employer... seems to weigh more than 300 catties, and she's nearly 40 years old... I think, probably no one will say anything about it." Is such a woman interested in sex?" Ivan muttered.

"Don't be too absolute, maybe some people's XP is more biased?"
