Chapter 581 Open Sesame

Ke Lan carefully checked around the liquid gate, but did not find any mechanism related to opening the gate.

He even had an urge to dig directly through the rock wall, drill into the interior of the mountain, and bypass this weird door.

It's just... Although the combat ability of the active armor is very strong, it's too sharp and slender claws are a bit powerless when used to dig earth and rocks.

He can easily cut through the rock, but it is more difficult to dig it out, unless the front rock wall is cut into debris... But in this way, the time required is somewhat unacceptable.

"There is no mechanism...not even a groove for inserting energy crystals or a safety device such as a mercury lock...then how to open this door?"

Looking at the white "gate" in front of him, Ke Lan became a little anxious - the Prophet had obtained Dr. Renee's research results and his own cloned cells, and this place was left over from an Alpha civilization to produce For him, the biochemical laboratory of the "man-made monster" is ready for everything, and he doesn't even owe him the wind... All a prophet needs is time.

The current situation is almost the same as the "meme infection" - in the polluted area, Ke Lan needs to race against time to prevent the "meme" from causing uncontrollable mutations; and in this cave, he also needs to race against time to prevent The Prophet has come up with something trickier than Seraphim.

Every second of delay, the difficulty and risk factor of the task are increasing exponentially. When Ke Lan felt the most headache, he had no idea how much time was left for him. The only thing he could do was to speed up , as much as possible to stop the Prophet's plan before it is completed.

He even rushed in all the way, and he couldn't even hide his whereabouts—but he bumped into this weird liquid door and stopped him.

Just when Ke Lan was about to dig a hole to go around, a very famous folk tale from the old era—"Alibaba and the Forty Thieves" suddenly popped up in his mind.In this story, the cave used by the bandits to hide their treasure has a very magical "voice-activated door". As long as the spell "Open Sesame" is shouted, the cave's gate will open.

Although voice-activated doors are common in this era and are not considered cutting-edge technology, they are as incredible as the title of the story collection "Arabian Nights" in that period when electricity was not even discovered.

The door locks that have appeared in human history are nothing more than these types: purely mechanical keys, coded locks composed of numbers and characters, key magnetic cards using radio frequency identification technology, and a series of locks through fingerprints, irises, voiceprints or facial features. A smart lock that recognizes physiological characteristics such as bone structure.There are also some, which are relatively rare, locks that use the blood or body fluids of people with unlocking authority to open. This type of lock rarely appears in the civilian market, and is generally used in reactors and virus databases. important place.

Of course, these locks can also be used in combination. For example, one needs to swipe the card first, then enter the password, then insert the key, and then verify the fingerprint and voice. When the face is recognized, the iris is also scanned at the same time, and finally the blood of the unlocker is collected. Sample - if it cannot match the previous physiological characteristics, the lock will not be opened even if the individual authentication is passed.

This is an extreme example. In short, Ke Lan has never seen such a door in reality, but it is quite common to use two or three unlocking methods at the same time. Among other things, Miss Soma's is the only one. That luxury car needs both the key card and voice recognition to be successfully authenticated before it can be started.

Ke Lan looked at the white door in front of him, and ruled out these unlocking methods one by one. In the end, there were only two methods left: voice control and blood.

No, blood can also be excluded - when he inserted his finger into the door just now, the white liquid had been in direct contact with his blood, but the door was not opened, and he lost half of his finger instead.

As for the voice control... There is no cost to trial and error, but I don't know whether the basis for the judgment is the password or the voiceprint. If it is the latter, then Ke Lan really has nothing to do.

He took a deep breath, looked towards the door, and said slowly in the language of Alpha civilization: "Open the door."

As soon as the voice fell, ripples suddenly appeared on the white gate, and the white liquid that was originally like substance gradually atomized and became transparent... In less than [-] seconds, the white gate that was originally blocking Ke Lan had completely disappeared. "Disappeared", revealing the dark passage behind.

"Damn it, why?" Ke Lan couldn't help cursing... If he knew that the way to open the door was so simple, how could he waste nearly 10 minutes in this place.

But he didn't rush in—no one can be sure whether the visually invisible door really disappeared.

Ke Lan changed a finger and stretched it forward.

This time, the fingers probed all the way to the original position of the liquid gate, and nothing abnormal happened.

Half a foot further, still the same.

Only then did Ke Lan become convinced that the gate had indeed disappeared.

But he didn't relax his vigilance, but just raised his arms like this, using that finger as a "pioneer", and walked into the passage behind at a constant speed.

This passage is much narrower than the passage with crystallization tanks embedded outside, barely enough for two people to pass through, and there are no fluorescent devices outside for lighting along the way, so Ke Lan walked about one kilometer in the dark like this. Only then suddenly became enlightened.

This is an extremely huge underground space. The ground, walls and dome are all reinforced with metal frames. The layout of the space is almost exactly the same as the basement discovered by the 776 special team!
But Ke Lan can be sure that the basement in front of him is definitely not the same as the one discovered by the 776 special team.

There are neither ten-meter-high quartz tanks filled with turbid liquids nor metal brackets with shackles that look like instruments of torture.

Or to put it another way, there is only one thing in the entire basement.

A "pyramid" at the very center - not the conical pyramids of ancient Egypt, but the flat-topped pyramids of the Mayan civilization.

This pyramid is about eight to ten meters high, the bottom side is about 20 meters long, and the top is a small platform whose side length is only half of the bottom side. He tilted his head, as if he was looking at something at his feet.

But Ke Lan couldn't see the "thing" at his feet due to his limited perspective.

According to the photos sent to him by the information dealer, this person in a sand-colored cloak should be the prophet...or, in other words, one of the "substitutes" for the prophet. Pretend to be yourself.

Even if it was just a "stand-in", Ke Lan didn't dare to relax his vigilance at all - he is currently facing the "stand-in" of the prophet twice:

The first time was in the "Sick Village" of South Sixteenth District. That "stand-in" had extremely terrifying fighting ability. If it hadn't been for meeting such an unreasonable existence as Ze Luo, I'm afraid Ke Lan and Ka Rong will eventually die in his hands.

The second time, in the outer ring channel of Yagunaktor, the "stand-in" of the prophet used the identity of "Park Sang-woo" to deceive everyone, even the Undead Crew Club did not see through his identity... Although Later, Ke Lan and the others saw through his disguise, but they couldn't stop his sacrifice ceremony at all.

The vitality of "Park Shangyou" is much stronger than that of the black-robed bishop who launched the Holy Word during the Arasaka Rebellion. The thing it summoned was more than enough to kill everyone in the scouting team.

At first, Ke Lan and the others thought there was something wrong with the process of the sacrificial ceremony. The state of the summoned monster was not stable, just like Ultraman who only stayed on the earth for 3 minutes. Space may have a time limit—but after he successfully activated the battleship and had a conversation with another prophet stand-in in the molten mine area, he realized that the reason why the monster summoned by Park Shangyou would die was most likely in the Under the instruction of the Prophet, it was deliberately "given for nothing".

The Prophet didn't want to kill Ke Lan in that passage. His purpose at the beginning may be to use the help of "Park Shangyou" to induce Ke Lan and the others to enter the power room, and then activate Yagunaktor.But the plot did not proceed according to the script set by the Prophet—Ke Lan and others noticed that there was a problem with "Park Sang-woo", and used means to defraud Park Sang-woo's lies... But in order for Yaguna Ketor to be successfully activated, The Prophet didn't let 'Park Shangyou' kill Ke Lan and the others, but changed the way, and sent the "fruit core" that can activate the teleportation mechanism to Ke Lan and the others.

Up to this point, everything is still in the prophet's expectation, it's just a change from "Plan.A" to "Plan.B".

What the prophet really did not expect was that the "crystallization" in Ke Lan's body at that moment was not incomplete, but complete. With the help of the power of the "crystallization", he not only successfully activated the battleship, but also had no self-awareness like the prophet's. Destroyed by the battleship's console as expected.

In this way, it was the turn of the Prophet who originally wanted to kill two birds with one stone and kill Ke Lan while starting the battleship.

The prophet's plan was indeed bankrupt, but the monster that Park Shangyou summoned left a deep impression on Ke Lan.

Its direct combat power may not be as good as the first double that sneaked into the "sick village", but its ability is much weirder than the first double. If it wasn't for deliberately "giving it for nothing", Ke Lan didn't even know that he would be in that abnormal How long was the confinement in the space.

Moreover, taking a step back, if the monster chooses to explode itself, the power contained in the "fruit core" may not be weaker than a top-level tactical nuclear warhead.

As for the four substitutes who died with the battleship "Chuang" later, they always had their own different abilities, but in the face of Yagunaktor's "absolute power", their abilities had no room for display at all, and they could only hold hatred And finally.

In contrast, Ke Lan would rather face the first type of substitute—at least, when it comes to fighting alone, he has a living armor and time stagnation, he still has some confidence... He has already made up his mind, if this substitute is Similar to the type of "Park Shangyou", he will choose to run away, and then contact the fleet to directly bulldoze the underground ruins with heavy firepower... If the firepower of the human fleet is not enough, Ke Lan doesn't mind using Yagu at all Naktor bumped his head again.

"Should it be a stand-in this time?" Ke Lan asked loudly - he didn't hide his footsteps when he came in. In such an empty underground space, the echo is very loud, as long as the other party is not deaf, he should be able to hear it until someone walked in.

"Of course." The Prophet's substitute turned around and looked down at Ke Lan condescendingly, "If I tell you that I don't have a body...or every substitute is a body, would you believe it?"

Ke Lan didn't answer, what was replaced by a whistling sound piercing through the air.

He threw what was in his hand hard.

It was a hollow steel pipe he had dismantled from the sheds at the mouth of the cave, and one end had been cut into a sharp spearhead.

Ke Lan has a total of six "weapons" like this on his body.

The first steel pipe directly pierced the body of the Prophet's double, followed by the second.

The second steel pipe was not straight, and Ke Lan tied a knot in the middle, because this steel pipe did not go out through the body like the first one, but flew up directly with the body of the prophet's substitute, nailed to death on a dome nearly 50 meters high.

If ordinary people were hit by a spear of this strength, their bodies would have been torn apart long ago, but the body of the Prophet's stand-in can still remain intact, which shows how tough it is.

Ke Lan threw the third and fourth spears——

The fifth root——

The sixth root——

Throat, head, heart, spleen... Every spear that Ke Lan threw was aimed at the opponent's vital parts, except for the first one.

The target of the first spear thrown was the spine of the Prophet's substitute... As long as the opponent is still a humanoid creature, cutting off the spine can produce a certain paralysis effect, creating favorable conditions for subsequent attacks.

But for some reason, he felt that the other party seemed to have no intention of dodging from the beginning...
