Alien Relic Hunter.

Chapter 874 Temptation
"You don't believe me either, right?" The female voice that Ke Lan heard finally changed... But to Ke Lan's surprise, the other party's change was not Zofia Soma's as he expected Instead, it became the voice of the sixth "lover" of the Undead Crew Union, Aphrodite.

"Why should I believe it?" Ke Lan sneered.

"You have worked so hard to come here, isn't it to seek the truth?" said the voice, "Now the truth you want to know is drawn on this dome, as long as you raise your head, you can see it."

"It's a poor trick." Ke Lan said disdainfully, and spat on the ground, "Aren't you telling me this just to trick me into looking up at the dome? If you sincerely want to tell me the truth, then Why bother?"

"If you seek the truth, you must pay the price. Did you know that there was a thinker named 'Confucius' in ancient China during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period? He once said, 'If you hear the Tao in the morning, you can die in the evening'... and the people of this universe. Compared with the truth, human life is too short and insignificant... Now you only need a simple action to touch the supreme truth. Compared with this, life is already insignificant."

The other party suddenly changed the conversation: "Or, you are afraid of death, and you want to live in the world and live this short life in ignorance, ignorance and ordinaryness? No, you shouldn't be that kind of person... If you are, you won't come here."

"Is there a possibility that I have no choice but to plunge into this wretched place?" Ke Lan suddenly laughed, "There was once a person who used similar conditions to seduce me... What kind of flesh? His eternal life, endless knowledge, the truth of the universe... He has a few chips more than you, do you know what his final outcome is?"

"You cut off his head." The other party said calmly.

"It seems that you can really read my memory..." Ke Lan flattened his mouth. He didn't say who the person he mentioned just now, but based on this information alone, the manager of Shangcheng District He had already guessed that he was referring to the "prophet" of a heretic sect.

"Since you know," Ke Lan continued, "then know that this kind of temptation is useless to me... That person talked for so long, but he couldn't even save his own life, let alone the truth of the universe. Do you think I would still believe this kind of thing if I can’t achieve immortality in the flesh?”

"He told you that it was just a blank promise, and even what he couldn't do himself is naturally unbelievable." The voice said, "But I am different, I have already put what you want in your In front of you, all you need to do is raise your head."

"Since you have already put what I want in front of me, can you please do it to the end, send the Buddha to the west... take off the things on it... and put it in front of me in a real sense Huh? My cervical spine is not very good, so I can't lift my head up." Since the other party insisted so much, Ke Lan simply started rolling around... Judging from the current situation, the manager of the upper city should not be able to force them to look up at the dome. Otherwise, it wouldn't need to change its voice and try its best to trick Ke Lan and 33.

At least, for now, it can't interfere with the two of them through physical means... As for what direction things will develop next, Ke Lan can only take a step by step.

Although he is still wary of the manager "Nieto" in the lower city, it doesn't mean that he doesn't believe what the other party said at all... Prudence doesn't mean cowardice... What's more, the "Nieto" in the upper city There must be a big problem with being so eager to get yourself to look up at the dome.

"Do you know why that person told you that as long as you join the heretical sect, you can have those things?" Seeing that Ke Lan refused to enter, "Nieto" immediately changed the subject and began to talk about the old The prophet who was beheaded by Ke Lan.

"Tell me, I'm listening. As for whether you believe it or not, that's up to me." Ke Lan said while checking 33's condition - 33 had calmed down at this time, only the heartbeat and breathing rate were slightly Somewhat faster.Ke Lan knew that when this "Nieto" communicated with him, he must also say something in 33's ear that only he could hear. After the break, no matter how much you say, I'm afraid it won't be as lethal as the previous two sentences, and 33, who was almost fooled, is already prepared in his heart.

The two sets of Wang Zha at the beginning had no achievements, and the later threes naturally couldn't break the 33's defense at all.

But just to be on the safe side, Ke Lan took out a tranquilizer from the first aid kit and injected 33.

"How are you, how are you now?" Ke Lan asked in a low voice.

"It's...not bad." 33 nodded, "Sorry, just now I..."

"It's fine. From now on, you just need to remember one thing, no matter what happened, no matter what the voice said to you, don't look up. It's fine." Ke Lan instructed, "As long as we don't look up ourselves. , that voice has nothing to do with us."

While Ke Lan was talking to 33, the voice of the uptown manager "Nieto" kept coming into his ears: "Aren't you really curious about what happened to that person?"

"I'm not curious." Ke Lan said blankly, "Everyone is already dead. What does his past have to do with me?"

"You should be very clear that you and him are the same kind of people... The plot that has been played out on him is very likely to be repeated on you."

"Believe it or not, I'm going to sue you for slander... Comparing me and that bastard is the biggest insult to me." Ke Lan didn't look up, but raised his right hand to make a comparison to the dome." International friendly gesture", "At least I won't be like that bastard who doesn't take human life seriously."

"It's just that you haven't reached the point where a single decision will lead to the loss of tens of millions of lives... After experiencing that kind of thing a lot, you will also feel numb to the disappearance of life." The other party said, "How ignorant and ignorant human beings are. Creatures, only individuals who touch the truth are worthy of survival... As for other people, what is the meaning of their short decades of life? Thousands of years of human civilization history, countless people were born in this world , live a long or short life, and then die... ever have meaning?"

"Because I can't talk about it, so I started playing sophistry, right?" Ke Lan raised his other hand and raised his second middle finger, "This statement of yours might impress the guys in the Undead Crew Association. , but to me, it's no bullshit."

"Then you should know that that person is a symbiont just like you... This is the biggest similarity between you: you have cultivated so many symbionts, and the only individual that can survive for a long time is the You two."

"They are also human beings, and there are great men, saints, and scum... Do you think that a person with a normal mind would classify those great men who are famous in history and the notorious scum? Let alone classify Even if you mention it together, it will make people feel unlucky..." Ke Lan put down his hands, helped 33 from the ground, and walked towards the door of the garbage disposal plant.

"If you don't want to tell me the so-called truth directly, but insist on me going to see some broken dome, then forgive me... I will find out what I want to know, so don't bother You." Ke Lan said self-consciously, "Oh, yes, although you are the manager of the upper city, I think you should have lost control of the upper city, right? Even the person with the same name as you in the lower city The guy can force me out of this hive city, but you can only hide in a corner and use your mouth, trying your best to make me look up... You don't have only one mouth left, right? "

"Your mouth is really poisonous." 33 twitched the corners of his mouth, "You're full of ridicule..."

"It won't care about this." Ke Lan sighed, "I'm not trying to ridicule it, it's just to make me feel good..."

"That's right, I don't feel offended. As an existence who is fortunate enough to have touched the truth of the universe, how can I have emotional fluctuations because of human words?"

Before the voice could finish speaking, Ke Lan interrupted it: "Did you know that there is such a sentence on the human Internet? It's called 'Seriously, you lose'... If you don't respond to me, then I can basically Sure you really ignored my sarcasm...but you have to explain it, don't you think it's a little too revealing? Or...you're trying to suppress your anger? But then again, the intelligent biological computer's Does AI really have emotions?"

"..." It seemed impossible to refute Ke Lan's words, but this time, the other party actually remained silent.

"Are you really an AI? Or a hive resident swallowed by disaster?" Ke Lan asked.

"I used to be, but now I have become a higher form of life after bringing together the minds of all people in the entire Hive Uptown... The human brain is far less capable than me, why do you Do you feel that the emotions that humans can have, I can't have?"

"Then you admit that you were really mad at what I said just now?"

"It's pointless to argue about such trivial matters...Since you don't agree that that person is the same as you, then I won't force you. But there is one thing you are lying...you care a lot about what that person has experienced in the past , very concerned."

"So what? Don't you know?" Ke Lan put his hands behind his head, bowed his head slightly, and stared at his toes as he kept stepping forward, "You should have the ability to read our memories? Even myself How do you know what you don't know? Or, you can see those... things hidden in the fog."

This is like Ze Luo's "sense of instant vision". Through "sense of immediate vision", Ke Lan and 33 can only see what the residents of the Hive City have seen back then...and vice versa, "Nieto" can Naturally, the only thing stolen from the two people's memories is what they have seen or experienced.If those things didn't exist in the memory of the two of them at all, how could it be stolen?
The only thing that makes Ke Lan a little worried are the memory fragments sealed deep in his mind...Those things shrouded in fog...But Ke Lan's subconscious has been telling him that those memory fragments have not been destroyed by "anyone" moved.

If the memory fragments are read, whether it is unlocked by Ke Lan himself or "stolen" by other conscious bodies, he will have a subtle induction, but since he entered the third layer of Hive Capital, this induction has always been Since it hadn't appeared, he was basically sure that "Nieto" shouldn't be able to see those sealed memory fragments.

"Of course I know what that person has experienced, because he has also been here." The other party said without haste.

"Has the Prophet been here before... It's nothing to be surprised about. After all, he can also read the text of the Alpha civilization, and he has explored so many ruins with the help of heretical sects. It is entirely possible to find this place by following the clues." Ke Lan twitched her chin... It's been almost a week since she washed herself seriously, and the short stubble on her chin has grown to half a centimeter long. A thin layer of Space Blade immediately appeared on the front of his chest, and he shaved off his beard with a few swipes.

Although Ze Luo's space power was blocked and could not be released outside the body, it is still no problem to shave a beard attached to Ke Lan's fingertips.

"Did the prophet look up at the dome?"

"Look, that's why he feels... human life is meaningless, and if you want to pursue the truth, you have to give it up..."

"Wait." Ke Lan interrupted the other party again, "Since he has seen it, why is he pulling his hips so much? Not only did he not destroy the ark built by ignorant human beings, but he was even cut off by me. I lost my head... According to this, the things on this dome... shouldn't be of any use, right?"

"It is difficult for me to describe the truth of the universe with you in words... The language of human civilization is too low-level, and the amount of information contained in a sentence is like a drop in the ocean in front of the truth of the universe..."

"What about the language of the Alpha Civilization? It's not good enough?" Ke Lan asked tentatively.

The language of the Alpha civilization is a leap forward compared to the human language. If the human language is compared to a [-]-inch floppy disk that can only store text documents, then the language of the Alpha civilization has a capacity of just a few hundred. terabytes of super portable hard drives.The gap between the two is enormous.

"That language...is no good either."

"Then since the truth of the universe can't be described in words, 'calamity' should be fine, right? The guy on the second floor refused to tell me what happened to this nest... But I think, you shouldn't have this kind of thing. limit?"
