Alien Relic Hunter

"Let's talk about this." Ke Lan knelt down and put his upper body into the diving cabin. "If there is danger, we will choose to give up."

"...I'm afraid it will be too late when we encounter danger." Caroline said angrily, why are these people so ungrateful? So many people have already died, and they want to get together and kill another wave of people. .

Such nice words can’t persuade a damn ghost!

Just when Caroline was thinking about how to make them give up this idea completely, Ke Lan's voice suddenly came from the diving cabin.

"First Officer Caroline...are you sure that the people from the Security Bureau have really carefully inspected this diving cabin?"

His tone was very strange, as if he had seen something incredible.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Caroline controlled the power armor and squatted down, looking into the diving cabin.

"... There are some things carved on the inner wall of the diving cabin. Give me the flashlight." Ke Lan said.

Liao Zilang immediately found a flashlight and handed it in.

"How is it possible?!" Caroline was very surprised. If there was really something carved on the inner wall of the diving chamber, the people from the Security Bureau must have directly cut off the steel plate and took it away. There is absolutely no reason to leave it there. Here...could it be that they didn't discover these things? That makes even less sense!

"What's engraved on it?" she couldn't help but ask.

It was a line of crooked English letters, and the font was extremely deformed. The engraver seemed to be in an extremely mentally unstable state when he carved the line of letters, and several letters even overlapped.

However, Ke Lan still managed to identify these letters. All the letters together formed exactly three words.

“LEAVE THE BED”

"Leave...the...bed?" Ke Lan read it word by word.

"Leave... this bed?" Caroline was stunned. She knew every word and could understand the sentences they formed together. However, in the current situation, this sentence made her completely confused. I was confused, "What...what does this mean?"

"Bed does not necessarily mean a bed for sleeping, it also means a seabed." Ke Lan said solemnly, "So the meaning of this sentence should be to keep us away from that seabed... This is a warning."

Ke Lan always felt that something was wrong, that he seemed to have missed some important details, but he couldn't figure out what went wrong that made him/her have this strange feeling.

Is it because people from the Security Bureau didn't erase or take away this clue? No... He has already taken this doubt into consideration, but the strange feeling does not come from this...

"Warning?" Caroline thought for a moment, "Was it left by the deceased? On the verge of death in despair?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Ke Lan nodded slightly. His fingers were tracing along the handwriting of these letters, trying to restore the mental state of the carver at that time... No, that emotion did not look like despair...

A person in despair would not have the heart to carve such a warning on the inner wall of the diving chamber. What's more, the deceased was an elite agent of the Security Bureau. This kind of person has received very cruel psychological training. If there is any warning before dying, If there is any information left by the opportunity, they will only choose useful information as much as possible instead of this kind of unclear "warning".

Moreover, these handwritings are not coherent. For example, in the letter H, there is a distance of four or five centimeters between the vertical line on the left and the vertical line on the right. If it were not for the two letters T in the front and E in the back, It is difficult for ordinary people to associate these notches with the letter H.

Ke Lan also thought at first whether this might be caused by the turbulence of the environment, but then he noticed that the depth of these scratches were almost the same, which meant that they were made in a relatively stable environment. If it is engraved, it can only be the problem of the engraver to make the letters difficult to read.

"It's so weird..."

Ke Lan repeated these handwritings over and over again, and he suddenly discovered that these twisted letters were very much like the handwriting of children when they first started to learn to write. In the minds of those children, there was not even the concept of words and symbols. , they just regard it as a special "picture".

There is neither the order of the strokes nor the structure of the font. Each letter looks like a ghost drawing...

The letters engraved on the inner wall of the diving chamber look exactly like this.

This situation should not happen to a sane and non-illiterate adult human. For Ke Lan himself, reading and writing have almost become instincts. Even when he is drowsy, he writes with his eyes closed. The characters are much easier to recognize than these letters...

etc! Instinct...lack of instinct...

Ke Lan was suddenly startled. He had just experienced this unspeakable painful feeling once. Could it be that the person who carved the letter had a similar experience?

Could all this have anything to do with that black skeleton?

Thinking of this, Ke Lan immediately said to Caroline: "By the way, when will we know the analysis report of the black skeleton just now? To be honest, I am actually very curious about that kind of monster."

"It will take at least half a day to send the things back, and a series of related procedures will also take half a day... As for the analysis report, it won't come out until the day after tomorrow at the earliest." Caroline thought for a moment and replied.

"Okay, if the report comes out, please notify me immediately."

…

In the next hour, Ke Lan carefully checked the diving cabin again, but except for the "warning" engraved on the inner wall, he could not find any valuable clues.

Those people from the Security Bureau were so crazy that they didn't even leave a hair on their head, but...why did they let the warning on the inner wall stay there?

Although the letters are difficult to identify, they are so conspicuous that there is no reason why they should not be discovered.

Or... after the people from the Security Bureau left, this line of letters still didn't appear on the inner wall?

Thinking of this possibility, Ke Lan suddenly felt the hairs on his back stand up... If that's the case, then who carved these letters?

"First Officer Caroline, has anyone else entered this cargo hold before us? I mean after the people from the Security Bureau sealed this place."

"No." Caroline shook her head decisively, "If you want to open the cargo hold, you can only use this key card, but this key card has always been placed in the cabinet in the captain's cabin."

Although the entire No. 9 cargo bay is not small, the entire space is still visible at a glance. Apart from the only door, there are no other passages. The only ventilation duct is only 15 centimeters in diameter, and the ducts are all welded with steel wire. It is impossible to use it as a secret passage if it is dead.

"I mean... is it possible that someone stole the key card, or opened the hatch in some other way?"

"The captain's cabin is monitored. If someone sneaks in, they will definitely be discovered. As for opening the hatch in other ways, it will directly trigger the alarm system."

"In other words, we are the first people to enter cargo bay nine after the people from the Security Bureau leave?"

"Yes... what exactly do you want to ask?" Caroline said with a hint of helplessness in her tone, "Do you think these letters are a prank by a certain crew member? Please... no one would do such a boring thing. , and still risk being fired.”

"Maybe I'm overthinking..." Before leaving the No. 9 cargo bay, Ke Lan glanced at the diving cabin for the last time. He always felt that he was almost able to come into contact with the truth, but it was just a little bit short. One step away, but he still couldn't step out of this fog.

No prizes for guessing who do you think carved these letters?
