Alien Relic Hunter.

Chapter 929 Deep Dive Capsule
Ke Lan still can't figure out what is hidden in the starry sky...

He has to admit that the bright and boundless star sea is indeed fascinating, but if what he desires most in his own consciousness, it is definitely not to explore the endless universe, but...

But...

Ke Lan himself was also a little stunned, he couldn't think of what he wanted most.

that power?status?wealth?Beauty?A stable life and like-minded partners?
It seems... neither.

Ke Lan suddenly realized that his subconscious seemed to be propelling him along the way...whether he was looking for those secrets, or constantly exploring dangerous relics...but when he wanted to delve deeper into the When it is mysterious, that strange desire will evaporate quickly like water stains under the scorching sun, leaving no trace.

Just like the "sage moment", there is only an empty brain left, and that feeling of bewilderment even makes Ke Lan feel a strong sense of unreality, as if he is half asleep and half awake, and all his thoughts are so It's messy and devoid of any logic.

But if he doesn't pay attention to this, this subconscious desire will drive him...to do things that are impossible to do with his heart...

Ke Lan suddenly felt like a marionette, as if someone was manipulating him in the dark.

This kind of manipulation is more like a subtle psychological suggestion. Even if Ke Lan has realized that something is wrong, it is still difficult for him to break free from it.

He suddenly understood why the monster that claimed to be "Seraphim" called itself a shell... In his subconscious, it seemed that another person's...

Although Ke Lan is an atheist, he is more willing to use words such as "consciousness" and "idea" to describe that kind of thing than the word "soul", but now he feels that in this place, the word "soul" Words cannot be replaced.

"In his subconscious, it seems that there is another person's soul sealed up."

……

Ke Lan really wanted to get this person's "soul" out of his head... But this thing is like the "inspiration" that the creators often say, when he doesn't think about it, it seems to follow The shadow behind a person is usually looming, but when you want to catch it, your brain will instantly become blank, and the more you think about it, the more you can't understand it.

Ke Lan could only give up.

On the other hand, 33, his desires and fears are actually easy to understand... He is very envious of Ke Lan, envious of Ke Lan's power and those partners... 33 once had these things too.At that time, as the captain of the Velociraptor Squad, he had a strength that he could be proud of even among many elite troops. The task completion rate and survival rate of members of the Velociraptor Squad had firmly occupied the top spot of the Special Team of the Field Corps for many years in a row.

He also has those subordinates and brothers who trust him. He once thought that as long as this group of people in the Velociraptor team got together, there would be no mission that could not be completed-until that last mission, the entire Velociraptor team almost After the group was destroyed, 33 realized that what he had thought before was just a beautiful dream.

While longing for strength and truth, he also misses those comrades who have passed away... At this time, Ke Lan and the Hunting God Hunting Group appeared in front of him, and he naturally transferred this emotion to Ke Lan.

In the face of Ke Lan's power, besides envy, there is also a trace of fear that cannot be removed deep in his heart——33, as a "capable person", knows very well that the kind of power that Ke Lan possesses is absolutely invincible. Non-humans can control... Although Ke Lan is not an enemy, he has thought more than once about what will happen if he and Ke Lan stand on opposite sides.

What he saw in the dome... was Ke Lan, just the "monster version" of Ke Lan abstracted by his inner emotions.

It is precisely because of this that he desperately launched an attack on Ke Lan—he knew very well that the person in front of him was Ke Lan who walked here with him, but his distorted cognition kept conveying a message to 33: must Kill Ke Lan, otherwise it will lead to an unimaginable ending.

What is this unimaginable ending, 33 doesn't know... The subconscious never gives people a specific concept, but it can guide people emotionally, even if 33 doesn't know anything about it, he will be extremely resistant The "end" is coming.

"From this point of view, perhaps as long as the mind is firm enough, the influence of the dome will be weakened to the greatest extent... No, no, no matter how firm the mind is, it is useless. The dome can change people's cognition from the root. It will become a side effect, just like 33, his mind cannot be said to be unsteady, but after being affected by the dome, it becomes "resolutely want to kill me"..." Ke Lan secretly analyzed in his heart.

"Your idea is not wrong." Nieto said, even in this state, it can still spy on Ke Lan's thinking, "Only the most innocent people can not be affected by the dome."

"simple?"

"Literally, it is a person who is like a blank sheet of paper, with no desires or fears in his heart... people who can achieve the true sense of 'no waves in the ancient well', people who will not have the slightest emotional fluctuations about everything...they Looking at the dome, you only see the dome as it is," Nieto explained.

"For example... a newborn baby, or some mentally handicapped person?"

"Almost...but even babies have things to fear, mentally handicapped people can have emotions...then they are not immune," Nieto said.

"So...there's only artificial intelligence. The reason why you won't be affected by the dome is because your emotions are simulated by the personification module, right?"

"Correct."

"Okay, thank you for your answer. Now I'm going down. If I can come back, I'd like to talk to you again." After Ke Lan finished speaking, he walked towards the metal cylinder.

"Are you lying to me?!" Nieto's voice became sharp and harsh, "No, no, I have been monitoring your thoughts, and every word you just said is consistent with your inner thoughts... …You obviously gave up on entering Genting, why? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"Because I know you can spy on my thinking... There is a saying, if you want to make others believe you, you have to lie to yourself first." Ke Lan twitched the corners of his mouth, showing a somewhat unnatural expression. Smile, "To be honest, it's really difficult to fool yourself... But the effect seems to be okay."

Nieto: "...How did you manage to hide your true thoughts? Theoretically, this is impossible..."

"Just tell me how to open this passage, and I'll tell you how I did it." Ke Lan said, "I promise I won't break my promise."

"Impossible." Nieto rebuffed, "Let me warn you one last time, entering the cloud top will cause unforeseen disasters... It's the same for you and Hive City."

"Then you are useless, I think it's better to kill you... Although it may waste some time, I have plenty of time now."

"Wait," Nieto felt Ke Lan's real killing intent, knowing that this sentence was not just a verbal threat, "I... I can agree to your conditions, you can enter Yunding, but you have to agree I have one thing."

"Let's hear it, if it's reasonable, you can consider it." Ke Lan nodded.

"After entering the cloud top, please don't try to modify the history." Nieto said, "especially those space debris whose time is still 50 years ago... Any interference you have with it may trigger a butterfly effect .”

"Okay, I can promise you this matter. Those space debris that stayed 50 years ago are inherently dangerous. Of course, I will try to avoid them if I can, but if I accidentally crash into them, then I won't The method... As for how I hide my true thoughts, it's very simple—" Ke Lan pointed to his head, "There is an area in my head that I can't even pry into, and I don't think you should be able to see it either. The things there, I only need to 'register' a small part of my thoughts there, and then follow the guidance of the subconscious mind, just like a robot with a pre-set action route, I don't need to think, I just need to accept what comes from the subconscious mind Instructions are fine. Well, it’s your turn to answer, how to open this passage.”

As soon as Ke Lan finished speaking, the metal cylinder in front of him cracked in half, revealing a "transparent capsule" hidden in it. The size of this capsule is just enough to accommodate a grown man. Hands stretched out.

The shell of the capsule is a layer of something that looks like silicone, but feels like soap bubbles. Ke Lan's hand passed through the shell of the capsule without hindrance, and entered the interior of the capsule.

The inside of the capsule is filled with viscous liquid. Ke Lan absorbed a small amount of this liquid through the living armor, and found that its composition is very close to that of LCL "water of life", which is a substance that can be used to maintain the respiration and nutrient supply of organisms.

After confirming that there was no mechanism, Ke Lan walked into the capsule. When his whole body was immersed in the liquid in the capsule, the outer shell of the capsule hardened rapidly and turned into a real silicone-like texture, covering Ke Lan. in it.

"If you want to enter Yunding, you must use the deep dive capsule." Nieto said, "This is the last deep dive capsule in Hive Capital. I will confirm it with you for the last time, you..."

Before Nieto finished speaking, Ke Lan interrupted it: "I won't change my mind, don't waste your words, and don't think that wasting the last capsule will prevent me from entering the cloud top, the living armor can do it Simulate this capsule."

Nieto didn't speak anymore, the baffle at the bottom of the metal cylinder opened, and a deep passage appeared under Ke Lan's feet. A lubricant began to secrete from the surface of the deep diving capsule, and the entire capsule quickly slid into it in the next second. In the passage, slide toward the depths.

The passage is almost vertical, but the passage wall does not look like rock or metal... On the contrary, it looks like some kind of elastic biological tissue, and even has a certain temperature... Sliding in such a passage, Ke Lan has a A feeling of being swallowed into the body of the giant beast, this passage is the esophagus of the giant beast, and at the end of the esophagus...

"I hope it's not a digestive organ full of strong acid." Ke Lan joked to himself.

The sliding process lasted for half an hour. At this sliding speed, the depth of the cloud top is estimated to exceed [-] meters, which is deeper than the distance from the top to the bottom of the thickest part of the ark... If it were on the earth If it is not, this hive may have penetrated the earth's crust, broke through the "Mohorovich discontinuity", and reached the depth of the mantle.

Ke Lan seems to know why the deep diving capsule is used to enter the top of the cloud... As the depth continues to increase, the pressure of the channel also rises sharply... Although it has not yet reached the terrible pressure of the deep sea, for humans, this This kind of pressure is enough to kill.

Ke Lan could feel the channel began to shrink and wriggle rhythmically, because the deep-diving capsule no longer slides down, and the channel can only push the entire capsule down in this way——Ke Lan suddenly felt that the analogy he had just made was wrong, This passage should not be compared to the esophagus of a behemoth, but the excretory canal. This capsule is like Yonetako stuck in the rectum, constantly approaching the steel door under the peristalsis of the intestinal tract.

With a crisp "Bo", the deep diving capsule was spit out from the X eye by the channel...ah no, it was spit out from the exit, and the silicone shell covering Ke Lan's body quickly degraded and evaporated. As for the liquid inside, it was losing The "container" then flowed directly on the ground...

Ke Lan looked around. The place where he was standing was an "island" with a diameter of no more than ten meters, and there were many similar "islands" a few meters to tens of meters away from this "island".

There is no water between the islands, and there is an abyss that cannot be seen at a glance-it is more appropriate to say that it is an island, or a "plum blossom pile".

"Disordered time and space?" Ke Lan muttered in his heart, "Does it mean these isolated islands? Each island...is a piece of space fragments that have been divided?"

"Hey, Nieto, can you hear my voice?" Ke Lan tried to call Nieto, but there was no response.

It's too far away from the upper city... Moreover, Nieto has no right to enter Yunding, whether it's because of the remnants of the power of the "god" or the original rules of the Hive City...

Although Nieto has always wanted to get rid of Ke Lan, Ke Lan has to admit that during the trip to the hive capital, Nieto still gave him a lot of help... Although these help were all obtained by his own coercion... …

Without Nieto, it means that he lost all sources of information, and once again entered the stage of "crossing the river by feeling the stones".
