Alien Relic Hunter.

Chapter 660

"Uh..." Aya's expression froze for a moment.

What Ke Lan said is not wrong. Children born in this kind of family have lived in an environment with extremely good material conditions since they were young. For them, things that ordinary children crave, such as candy and toys, are hardly available. No matter how difficult it is to obtain, over time, these things will naturally not have any attraction to them.

"Then...then what should I do?" Aya looked at Ke Lan with a begging look - she grew up in the training institution of the Security Bureau since she was a child, and began to perform tasks alone when she was 14 years old. I have stayed in a family environment before, and I don't have any emotional experience, let alone children... I really have no experience in coaxing children.

"What do you think I'm doing? I've never raised a child..." Looking at Aya's eyes, Ke Lan cursed inwardly.

But it’s all about complaining, Ke Lan still tried to squat down, looked at the little girl who looked like jade carvings, and said in as gentle a tone as possible: "Your mother is not feeling well right now, little sister, hurry up here Come here, this big sister will take you to find Dad later..."

As if reacting to the word "Dad", the little girl shrank her shoulders first, then glanced at her mother with some fear, and took a step cautiously.

One step, two steps... until she was about two meters away from the young woman, the young woman didn't respond at all. Only then did the little girl open her legs and ran towards Aya.

"Take her out." Ke Lan whispered to Aya.

Aya stretched out her hand, hugged the little girl up, glanced at Ke Lan and Asano Akira, and left the room after saying "be careful".

At this time, the sacrificial ceremony of the young woman on the other side of the bed had also come to an end, her eyes were wide open, and her delicate face gradually became distorted and hideous... But for some reason, Ke Lan always felt that something was wrong .

The other party was panting heavily, her towering chest was heaving greatly, and the front wall of her chest between the two slender suspenders was stained with a strange scarlet color, her body was slightly leaned back, her hands were tightly grasping The edge of the dressing table, even the well-maintained nails were broken on the table, and the speed of the chanting between the two red lips became faster and faster...

Ke Lan suddenly realized what was wrong - the black-clothed bishop he had encountered before, after the sacrificial ceremony began, the vitality of the body would be drained quickly, especially when the ceremony was about to end, the black-clothed bishop himself would Great changes have taken place: decent ones may turn into a mummy or a skeleton or something, while serious ones are festered and corrupted, with pus flowing horizontally...

But the body of the widow in front of him didn't seem to have changed significantly.

Except for the shortness of breath, the plump body of the young woman does not have the visual effect of being "hollowed out". The smooth and delicate skin can be broken by blows, and the full collagen supports the elastic and attractive body. The curves, the fat under the skin and the muscles are plump and well-proportioned, without any sign of collapse, only the fair skin becomes rosy due to congestion... It doesn't look like it has been drained of vitality at all.

"Strange..." Ke Lan didn't relax his vigilance because of this, and still pointed the energy gun in his hand at the young woman's head.

Finally, the long prayer was over...but nothing happened.

"What's going on?" Akira Asano asked, holding a knife.

"I don't know...it can't be the network delay." Ke Lan shook his head, he didn't know what the other party was doing.

Could it be that this bitch is not a black bishop at all, but just scaring them?

That's not right... The pronunciation of the prayer she just recited was indeed in accordance with the simulated syllables of the Alpha language, which is not wrong.If she was just thinking wildly, Ke Lan would have heard the problem from the very beginning.

"Why? Why did this happen?!" It wasn't just Ke Lan and Akira Asano who were shocked and puzzled, the young woman was also the same. She waved her arms hysterically, as if she was crazy.

"Why didn't the envoys come?! Why? Are we abandoned? Are we abandoned by the great gods? Abandoned by the prophet?" She cried with tears.

prophet?When hearing the young woman mention the prophet, Ke Lan was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized.

Although the battle at the Bronze City ruins is no longer a secret, the Ark officials did not announce the specific results and casualties to the public. In addition to the major disaster caused by the "Ultimate Judgment" hitting the Ark itself, few people paid attention to it. Still staying at the ruins of the Bronze City and Alexander's body, as for the death of the Prophet himself, it was temporarily blocked by the Undead Crew as a top-level secret.

From the young woman's words, it can be known that she probably didn't know the news of the Prophet's death.

"A servant of a god can temporarily grant the authority to use part of the holy words to his family members, but as a price, when the servant of the gods or his family members uses the holy words to pray for gifts from the great gods, they must dedicate Life force as a sacrifice..."

This is a description of the "holy words" in the memory fragments in Ke Lan's brain. Combined with Ke Lan's own actual experience, it is basically certain that the "holy words" of these bishops in black were given to them by the prophets—if Comparing the "Holy Word" to a kind of summoning magic that requires life as the price, the Alpha language is equivalent to the spell needed to release the summoning magic, and the only people who really master the spell are Ke Lan and the Prophet (in different places) On the premise of counting the consciousness of the living armor), and the bishop in black is more like a one-time magic scroll that seals the spell inside.

Although the price of vitality is paid by the person who uses the "magic scroll", but now the person who made the scroll and sealed the spell is dead, and this scroll has naturally become a useless waste...

To put it in a more concise and easy-to-understand way, only Ke Lan and the Prophet can directly communicate with that "Him". The terminal equipment connected to the "cat", and now the "cat" they are connected to has been directly smashed by Ke Lan. Even if these terminal equipment do not have any faults themselves, it is impossible to connect to the network.

Without the existence of the prophet, even if these bishops in black recite the "Holy Word" a thousand or ten thousand times, nothing will happen.

After all, they have never mastered the key to the "Holy Word"—the Alpha language—from beginning to end.

This was a windfall that made Ke Lan happier.Unexpectedly, killing a prophet would actually abolish all the most threatening black-clothed bishops in the heretic sect... Once this big trouble is solved, it will be difficult to eliminate the remnants of the heretic sect Lowered several levels.

Looking at the desperate and confused young woman in front of him, a classic line suddenly appeared in Ke Lan's head: "You shout, even if you shout out your throat, the god you believe in will not hear it."

Of course, given that the public communication channel is still open, hundreds of agents from the security bureau and soldiers from the garrison are still waiting for Ke Lan's order... If you really say this in front of so many people If he said it, he might not be able to escape the title of "pervert".Even if they don't say it on the lips, it will definitely spread in private...

Now that I am considered a senior leader, I should pay more attention to my personal image.

"I know what's going on." Ke Lan said to Akira Asano.

"Ok?"

"The abilities of these black-clothed bishops were given to them by the prophet. When the prophet died, their abilities would naturally disappear." Ke Lan said, "I think, in the future, the word black-clothed bishop should be able to be read from Ark's Crossed off the threat list."

"What did you say? The Prophet is dead?" Although the young woman kept crying, she still caught the key words in the conversation between Ke Lan and Asano Akira, and her eyes were fixed on Ke Lan, "You are lying ... How could the Prophet die! You can't kill him! It's impossible... Impossible!"

"What should we do with this person?" Asano Akira asked Ke Lan.

"She's not threatening anymore, just take her out and hand it over to someone from the Security Bureau...but I think it won't make any difference in the final outcome."

After canceling the "crime of exile", the official attitude of the Ark is to "kill without mercy" for those who have joined heretical sects... unless they voluntarily abandon the dark and turn to the light, and can make a large enough contribution to the Ark, There is a chance to pass the merit.Generally, worthless believers are often directly dragged to the nearest execution ground for execution during the simple interrogation and filing process, and they are not even allowed to stay in prison for an extra night.

As for this woman... Her fate may be even more miserable than that of ordinary followers of heretical sects.As a "black-clothed bishop", even if her ability has been crippled, the National People's Congress will probably be asked by the research institute to do live research... After all, the research institute has not been able to capture a living black-clothed bishop. The research progress on the "Holy Word" is almost completely zero.

……

All of a sudden, Ke Lan found that he didn't seem to be so disgusted with the research institute now... especially such inhuman "living experiments"...

Could it be because his status has changed?I used to be a small person with secrets in my heart and worried all day long about being arrested for slice research; but now, I have become a person in power above the research institute. The academy used it as its own tool... so there was such an obvious change in attitude before and after?
He couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth in a self-deprecating manner. It seemed that no matter who it was, it would be difficult to escape the law of "the dragon slayer will eventually become a dragon".

"But at least keep the bottom line." Ke Lan warned himself in his heart, when he looked up, he happened to see the young woman pull out a pistol from under the pillow, pointing the black muzzle at him.

Unlike the pocket pistol used by Yuuji Hinata, which can't even pierce Kevlar body armor, this is a hunting pistol with a caliber of [-] inches. Along the threaded rifling, Ke Lan has even seen it. The brass-colored bullet in the chamber—

"Bang!!"

"Ding!"

The gunshots from the hunting pistol were like thunder, so that it completely covered up the sound of metal and iron clanging that sounded almost at the same time. Two gusts of wind blew past Ke Lan's cheeks on both sides, and one was caught by the airflow. The severed hair fell slowly.

Ke Lan, who released hundreds of time-stops consecutively in just one second, clearly saw the frames of Akira Asano cutting the bullet through with a knife—with his ability, he could completely avoid this The gun, but since Akira Asano made the shot, Ke Lan didn't bother to move.

He trusts Asano Akira very much, just as Asano Akira trusts him very much.

After cutting the bullet, Asano Akira changed hands and threw out the armor-piercing knife stuck in his waist. The sharp point of the knife directly pierced the young woman's throat.

The young woman's body twitched, and she seemed to want to reach out to touch the knife stuck in her neck, but before her arms reached her chest, the pupils of her eyes began to dilate, and she fell straight down.

"It's a pity." Ke Lan sighed... To be honest, he didn't know whether he was pitying the death of such a beautiful woman... or pity that the research institute lost a precious living sample.

"Shouldn't I kill her?" Asano Akira was stunned for a moment and asked.

"It's okay... Maybe, she should thank you instead." Ke Lan said.

If this woman hadn't died... waiting for her fate would be more unacceptable than death.

"The knife just now was quite handsome. The knife splits the bullet, just like in the movie." Ke Lan knew that relying on the limit of human body alone, it is impossible to swing the knife faster than the bullet, but with Akira Asano's After the special ability, this kind of operation is no longer just a special effect shot that can only appear in movies. Even if it is captured in a time-stop state, it is only a few frames when the blade cuts the warhead. Only a few milliseconds.

To be precise, it wasn't Akira Asano who split the bullet, he just kept the blade on the trajectory of the bullet, waiting for the bullet to hit the blade by itself.

And at the moment when the blade was wedged into the warhead, the blade of the war knife trembled slightly. It was this tremor that was almost difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. The sides of Ke Lan's head flew out.

"By the way, if you use these abilities now, will there be any burden or side effects?" Ke Lan asked.

Akira Asano's ability is almost the same as that of Marshall, and Ke Lan does not hope that Akira Asano will end up like Marshall in the end.

"As long as it's not overloaded, it's fine." Akira Asano shook his head.

At this moment, a scream came from the earphone!

It's Aya's——
