Alien Relic Hunter.

Chapter 932 Hive Capital Master
"Now is 3 minutes before the disaster strikes?" Ke Lan exclaimed in shock, "The time of this piece of space debris is 50 years ago?! But... I clearly feel that its time flow is exactly the same as the real world!"

"The time of each space fragment is independent. Based on the real world, the flow of time in this space is almost stagnant, but when you are inside this time fragment, based on your own perspective, everything is Everything will return to normal." The hive master explained.

"That's not right... If now is before the disaster, since the disaster has not yet happened, why does time stop at this point? How do you know what happened later? Do you have the ability to predict the future?" Ke Lan was surprised Of course.

"Because I am talking to you now, I don't belong to this time point." The hive master said, "During the half a million years, I have been traveling through the space fragments of different time points in order to find a way to restore everything... But I finally discovered that what has happened is irreversible, even if the disaster is prevented from happening at this moment, the real world will not change in any way.”

"That is to say, the danger of being trapped in the space debris does not exist at all, and the butterfly effect is all nonsense... Nieto is lying to me?" Ke Lan couldn't help but twitched a few times. The internal chaos of the debris has been worn for 50 years, and Nieto also described Yunding as dangerous, obviously to intimidate himself and make him give up entering Yunding.

In the end, it was still nervous to keep itself from changing history... It seems that it is also its last effort.

"Nieto didn't lie to you, it's just that he doesn't know the situation in Yunding." The owner of the hive capital said, "The history that has happened cannot be changed. Even if you have the ability to time travel, you can only go to the future, not the future." Go back to the past. In addition, traveling between space fragments is not completely without danger. My physical body has long been destroyed, and I exist in this place in the form of a consciousness, so I am not sure whether my physical body will be affected by the broken space. influences."

"It's still not right." Ke Lan frowned slightly. He subconsciously felt that what the voice who claimed to be the master of the hive capital said was correct, but when he analyzed it with normal logic, he found that there were big loopholes, such as—" Since you said that time travel cannot go back to the past, how did I come to this time node now? This place should be 50 years ago, right?"

"What you see, feel, and touch are just virtual images, and nothing you do in this virtual world can affect reality... To describe it with an example that you can understand , this time node is like a game archive, you can load this archive, and you can also perform arbitrary actions in this archive...but you can never save it, nor can you overwrite the previous archive."

"Then if I don't save or overwrite, just keep playing this save file? Does that mean I can change the future of this save file?" Ke Lan asked.

"What changes is only the content of the 'personal archive' you see, and the content of the 'public archive' shared by everyone except you will not change... Moreover, as long as you connect to the 'public archive' of the real world Network', your 'personal archive' will be restored to its original state immediately." The hive master said, and suddenly sighed, "I used to naively think that I could prevent the outbreak of disasters, but after a long time I Only then did I realize that it was just a dream. Whether it's me or you...it's impossible to live in a dream forever."

"By the way, you said that the disaster will come in 3 minutes, and now 3 minutes have passed... At this moment, the disaster outside has come, right?" Ke Lan asked, "Where is this place? Any effect?"

"There are still 3 minutes before the disaster strikes." The hive master repeated the sentence, "As long as you stay at this time point, there will always be the last... 3 minutes left before the disaster strikes. If you want to witness the disaster coming with your own eyes, then you need to leave this space and go to the time node 3 minutes later."

"50 years ago... time stagnation..." Ke Lan nodded silently, "I can probably understand the concept of stagnation. I was almost frightened by Nieto before, thinking that after entering the stagnant time and space, I would be Imprisoned..."

"Nieto didn't scare you. Ordinary people will be frozen together with the stagnant time and space when they enter this time node." With the words of the hive master, the door on Ke Lan's right hand side opened. In the same room as Ke Lan's room, there was a person standing in the middle of the room.

This person maintains a very strange posture. His feet are spread apart, his upper body is leaning forward desperately, and his arms are stretched forward, as if he wants to grab something. His facial expressions are lifelike, and even the look in his eyes is lifelike. ... Ke Lan thought it was a realistic wax figure at first glance, but now he can be sure that it is a real person, a real person frozen in stagnant time and space.

With this person's posture, he would fall heavily on the ground in the next second, but not only did he not fall, his feet didn't even touch the ground—he was floating there in a suspended posture .

This person was wearing a uniform of the Air Force Fleet. The unit number and personal information on the armband and badge indicated that he was an engineer who belonged to the "Shaojiang Kai" frigate...

"It's from Hruni." Ke Lan said, "How did he get here?"

"The will to survive of this group of people is very tenacious...but it's just tenacious. They successfully entered the hive capital, but they couldn't even break through the bottom hive. I can only contact them through the managers of the lower city to let them The two of them, enter the cloud top."

"Hruni and the others have been to Genting?!"

"Yes, one of the two people is the Hruni you mentioned, and the other is the person you saw in front of you." The hive master continued, "Hruni has a very special physique. Evil has extremely strong resistance, but strong resistance does not mean that he can control that kind of power. It will not be long before he will be completely swallowed by the disaster... When the disaster broke out, I was also in the hive. Through this kind of resistant human individuals, and extract their genes for strengthening, trying to breed newborns that can resist disasters... Those people you just saw in the burning street were genetically engineered A new human being cultivated."

"There is indeed no mutation in them." Ke Lan nodded, "This shows that your efforts are in the right direction... But why did you still..."

"No, they still haven't escaped the disaster... It's just that you can't see the place where they mutated when you examine the corpse."

"...Is it bone marrow?"

"That's right, their bone marrow has turned into a very special kind of fire. This kind of fire uses life as firewood and is immortal." The hive master sighed.

"Tsk... no wonder..."

"Continue to talk about Hruni and the others." The hive master took the initiative to bring the topic back, "After talking with me, Hruni decided to return to the ark to reveal the truth of this world to the public, but I told him that on the ark, you should Someone already knew the truth, but that person still chose to hide it...Hruni wants to let everyone know the truth, but I don't think he can succeed at all."

"Hruni failed to return to the ark." Ke Lan said, "He chose to stay in the wreckage of the 'Shaojiang Kai' in the end, and stayed in the foggy forest until it became a corroded wreck."

"I know that. The time left for him is actually enough, but the people on the ark will not let him go back, nor let him speak." The hive master said, "His motives are good, but so The consequences of doing so are unpredictable... If he really reveals the truth to the public, the same disaster may happen again on the ark."

"Because of taboo knowledge?" Ke Lan pointed to his head, "Cognition is pollution, the more you know, the more dangerous it is?"

"Yes."

"Then why am I okay? Also, what is the truth you told Hruni?"

"Don't worry, we still have a lot of time, we can talk slowly...I haven't communicated with anyone for a long time, I have a lot of things to tell you...you can rest assured, for people in the real world, You are frozen in this time and space, even if you stay here for 1 years, it will only be a moment for people outside."

"...you continue talking, I'll listen." Ke Lan forcibly suppressed his restless curiosity and motioned for the other party to continue talking.

"Heruni went back, but he stayed." The "he" in the hive master's mouth naturally refers to this frozen person, "He doesn't believe that nothing can be changed, he thinks that as long as he can return to the disaster, Before, we could think of a way to break the situation.”

The hive master continued: "All of them have been eroded. He knew that he would not survive long when he went back, and Hruni had already returned with the truth, so he decided to stay and make the last attempt."

Ke Lan walked around this stagnant person, just as the hive master said, although this person still maintains a human shape in appearance, there are signs of mutation on many exposed skins, perhaps Because he also knew the "truth", he was much more eroded than the others on the Shaojiang Kai frigate - at least the others were only a few days to months after returning to Shaojiang Kai. Gradually mutated, and with his current appearance, it is estimated that he will become a rotten skeleton in a few days.

"But it's a pity that he just entered this stagnant time and space, and he became like this... Just like the dangerous situation that Nieto described to you, he is still alive and will live forever, but his Consciousness and physical body will remain stagnant forever. If time and space are compared to amber, then he is the little bug wrapped inside."

"Why am I not affected by stagnation?" Ke Lan still couldn't hold back his inner doubts, and asked, "Is it because of Ze Luo's relationship, or the body that merged with me?"

"You are the most special one, the crystallization of all the hard work of our two human civilizations and the Ark... We tried to create a god, a god who could compete with that existence... After countless failures, we have about you."

"I……?"

"But you are still a failure...but at least you are the one closest to success among the failures." The hive master said.

"What the hell am I?" Ke Lan felt for the first time that he was so close to the truth he was looking for, and even his heartbeat became faster uncontrollably...

"Tell you the truth, there will be a high probability of triggering your sealed memories and personality, and your erosion may break through the danger threshold in an instant... Have you really considered it?"

"Didn't Nieto say that I've been overeclipsed? Can I be overeclipsed a second time?"

"No, what I mean is breaking through the danger threshold, which is to guide His gaze."

"..." Ke Lan was silent. If there is anything that can be feared now, then the gaze of that existence is undoubtedly the first... That kind of power cannot be resisted by human beings, or even imagined by human beings. any civilization can resist.He only needs one thought to change the rules of the universe... This kind of power can only be described by "God" in the human dictionary.

"I have a way. I ask questions one by one, just like peeling cocoons... Once I find something is wrong, I will stop immediately. What do you think?" Ke Lan said.

"Once you find out that something is wrong, it's too late. But since you insist, I can answer your question."

"Okay..." Ke Lan took a deep breath, and after thinking for a moment, he asked his first question, "Alpha Star...is actually the Earth, right?"

This is a guess that Ke Lan has always buried in his heart-from various data, Alpha Star and Earth are too close. If there is any planet in the universe that can meet the living conditions of human beings, it can only be Another Earth.

However, as various clues appeared in front of him later, he felt more and more that the Alpha star under his feet was the earth that gave birth to human civilization.

"Correct."

Ke Lan felt his heart beat a few beats faster.

"Why did the ark sail in the universe for nearly a thousand years, and finally returned to the earth...Why did the moon become two, why did the sun not fail...Where did the planets in the solar system go?"

"It's true that Alpha Star is Earth, but the galaxy it is in is not the solar system... As for why Ark came here, you should know that during interstellar travel, Ark passed through a wormhole, right?"
