Alien Relic Hunter

As for the second illusion, Ke Lan further saw the stupidity and selfishness of human beings - those resistance organizations that chanted slogans of equality for all, actually became tools of the superiors, sparing no effort to destroy the last resort of the human race. hope of survival.

Those attackers who thought they were "sacrifice their lives for righteousness" were actually just a group of incompetent and furious idiots. They would rather everyone be buried with them than watch a few "seeds" fly into the distant universe on an ark.

From a personal point of view, it is understandable to have such emotions, but from the point of view of the entire race, these people are cancer and "inferior individuals" who should be eliminated.

Human rights are the product of a civilized society. If even human civilization is facing the crisis of destruction, what is the point of such a thing?

Perhaps, the members of the Undead Crew Club view those people on the Ark now in this way... As long as humans can survive, no matter how many people die or no matter how extreme things they do, they will not have any consequences. hesitate.

They don't care about the process, they only care about the results.

What human beings need is to unite as one, rather than offering their souls and bodies as sacrifices to "Him"...

Even if "He" didn't deceive humans, what's the difference between this approach and the "Human Completion Plan" in "EVA" that turned all humans into orange juice?

The existence of every individual is meaningful, and human civilization is composed of countless such individuals... If everyone's self-awareness is erased, will the existence of civilization still be meaningful?

The walking dead cannot be considered human beings, nor can they be considered a group of corpses that only follow the instinct to kill.

No matter how disappointed Ke Lan is with human beings and reality, he cannot place his hope on "Him".

After thinking about this clearly, Ke Lan suddenly felt enlightened - Nieto created these illusions in order to disintegrate his own will. As long as he knows the true purpose of the other party, no matter how the illusion changes, the things in the illusion will no longer change. It is difficult to have any impact on Ke Lan.

He suddenly thought of a way to break the situation.

"You can jump down and give it a try." Ke Lan said to the boy.

"What?" The boy's expression was stagnant - according to the normal development of the plot, the boy would not only not listen to such an "unknown" voice at this time, but he would also have to curse mentally in his heart, but maybe it was because he had already Already heartbroken, after the initial hesitation, he climbed over the guardrail on his hands and knees and stood on the outer edge of the overpass.

The space for people to stand on the outer edge of the overpass is less than three inches wide. The boy can only step on the heels of his two feet, and most of the front soles of his feet are in the air. If his arms were not hooked back and clinging to the guardrail, At this time, the whole person has probably fallen.

The cold wind blew the hair on the boy's forehead into a mess, and his breathing began to become rapid. Looking at the traffic going under the overpass, there was a look of struggle on his face.

"Are you scared?" Ke Lan asked, with a hint of smile in his tone.

"Everyone...is afraid, right?" the boy said a little unconvinced.

"If you are afraid of death, why seek death?"

"There's no point in living... I'm so disappointed with this terrible world." The boy closed his eyes hard, "I think there are many things wrong with this world, but I don't have the ability to change it... I I hate the world and I hate myself.”

"That part of your sentence is right." Ke Lan laughed, "There are indeed many things in this world that are wrong, because it is not a real world at all."

"You are still joking with me at this time?" The boy was slightly angry, "I don't know why I heard your voice, and I am not interested in your pranks at all... But you are right, I did not go there on my own. The courage to jump... If you can, can you push me from behind? There are no surveillance cameras here, no one can see that you pushed me down."

"I'm sorry, I can't do it." Ke Lan rejected the boy's request, "Your life should be in your own hands, even though even you are fake."

"What on earth are you talking about? I don't understand!"

"Jump down, you won't die...you will see the...truth of this world." Ke Lan slowed down his words, whispering in the boy's ears like a devil tempting people to fall. road.

"What do you want to say? Can you tell me directly?" The boy asked doubtfully, "I don't know who you are, and I can't understand you. If you have any purpose, just tell me directly. If at the end of my life If I can help you during the time, I will consider it."

"As long as you are willing to help, I do have a small purpose." Ke Lan said... What surprised him was that although the boy suffered a lot of misfortunes, the kindness in his heart did not seem to be completely annihilated. Er's "kindness"...may be the "key to breaking the situation" hidden in his heart.

"I'm trapped in this world." Ke Lan said truthfully.

"Are you there to make fun of me?" The boy also laughed. His hands that were holding the railing loosened a little bit, and his body began to lean forward a little bit.

"I'm telling the truth." Ke Lan said in a very calm tone, "You believe me."

He used the tone of a declarative sentence "Do you believe me" instead of "Don't you believe me?" or "Please believe me." Such a rhetorical question or request tone.

This sentence, like a magic spell, caused an immediate change in the boy's eyes... In just one second, he seemed to have changed into a different person. First he took two deep breaths, and then Using both hands, he turned back to the back of the railing.

"I believe you," the boy said, "So, what do you want me to do?"

"Jump off the overpass," Ke Lan said, "but don't jump with a death wish... Whether it's an overpass, a car or a road, they don't really exist."

"Okay." After the boy finished speaking, he held the railing with both hands and jumped over - this time, he did not hesitate at all. He released his hands the moment his body jumped over the railing, and the whole person fell freely to the bottom of the overpass. Fall away.

Ke Lan's perspective also dropped parallel to his.

Just when the boy was about to hit the road, the originally smooth road suddenly began to twist, as if something heavy had fallen on an elastic film... The boy's whole body sank into the ground, and as he continued Falling, the asphalt road was stretched infinitely, and even the vehicles on the road were deformed.

The world is like a picture drawn on plasticine. When the plasticine is stretched, the whole world also deforms.

"This is impossible..." Nieto's voice sounded in Ke Lan's ears again, with a hint of surprise that he had never seen before.

"Nothing is impossible... These illusions are pieced together from my memory fragments, so the master here should be me, not you." Ke Lan said.

The surrounding scenery began to become chaotic due to extreme distortion, and eventually turned into darkness. Then, a little light appeared in the darkness, and then became brighter and brighter.

"What is that?" The boy's consciousness did not fade with the illusion he was in. He was suspended in the darkness, looking at the distant light, and asked with a look of surprise.

"Hope." Ke Lan replied.

This light began to expand, the darkness was dispersed, and a huge ring-shaped star gate was seen floating in the universe, facing the blue water star from a distance.

"This is...Earth? Then this is..."

Countless spaceships the size of fingernails are surrounding the ring-shaped star gate, and in the center of the star gate is an extremely huge aircraft fixed with a gravitational ring. This aircraft looks like a science fiction work. It's like the flying saucers that often appear in the aircraft, except that on the surface of the aircraft, the words "Noah's Ark" are written in large letters in both Chinese and English.

The light that the boy saw before was actually the light emitted after the propellers of Noah's Ark were ignited. At this moment, all nine main thrusters and 390 auxiliary thrusters of Noah's Ark had been ignited. The power of the furnace is gradually increasing, and the gorgeous fire is becoming more and more brilliant.

The star gate is pointed at the unknown depths of the universe, and behind Noah's Ark, the star that humans call "the sun" is shining with an unsettling light - it was precisely because of this observation that Only when this kind of abnormal frequency flashes do scientists conclude that the sun is accelerating its aging and will expand to the point of swallowing the earth within 10,000 years.

And this abnormal flicker, which was originally only observed once in about half a year, later became once every ten days, once an hour... and finally almost once a minute - and the estimated countdown to escape for humans also changed from ten thousand years to Three thousand years, then one thousand years, and finally less than one hundred years.

It is a miracle that humans can build Noah's Ark and this ring star gate in just a few decades... The fire ignited by the main thruster is completely worthy of everything contained in the word "hope" significance.

Although Ke Lan did not give any explanation, at that moment, the boy already understood the ins and outs of everything. With his eyes wide open, he watched the acceleration device in the inner circle of the circular star gate begin to rotate, and murmured: "Hope... The hope of mankind..."

"Those people in the Immortal Crew only pursue results and don't care about the process." Ke Lan said to himself, "At least human civilization has not perished yet... Then everything that happened before was right. As long as the chess game can continue. If we go on, the final outcome will not be determined yet.”

"But you can't agree with what they did, can you?" The boy turned to ask.

The "them" he refers to naturally refers to the Immortal Crew Association.

As the protagonist of the fantasy pieced together using Ke Lan's memories, he can naturally know everything Ke Lan knows.

"They only talk about the results, not the process. And I only talk about the future, not the past." Ke Lan said word for word, "There is no regret medicine in the world. I can't change what has happened, but at least I I have to do things well now and in the future, so I escaped from the Ark and ran to this place...I don’t want to reverse anything, I just want to know the truth and make the right choice.”

No matter how hard the church suppresses the truth, science can still defeat ignorance in the end; no matter how many resistance organizations hinder the construction of the Ark, the Ark will eventually sail to the distant star field... Human history is indeed full of disappointing places, but More, it is hope.

At least, humans have come this far, and civilization still exists... instead of just fossils buried deep in the earth like the dinosaurs on the earth hundreds of millions of years ago.

"It's getting late." The boy looked at Ke Lan. Even though Ke Lan was still incorporeal at the moment, their eyes were on each other - he seemed to be able to see Ke Lan's outline in the dark universe. You can also find those invisible eyes, "You are right, this world is false, but hope is real... It's time for you to go back, you have more important things to do."

There was an explosion-like roar in the silent universe. The propeller at the bottom of the ark ejected a tail flame hundreds of kilometers long. The entire ship turned into a stream of light and shot away from the sun, while the surrounding scene began to gradually change. Falling apart.

The black universe fell like a black curtain, the twinkling stars went out like lights, and all virtual things gradually faded from Ke Lan's eyes, replaced by the real scene in the jungle hunting ground.

Nieto seemed to be still mumbling something, but Ke Lan had completely isolated its voice, and any of its words could no longer reach Ke Lan's mind, just like words banned by the administrator on the Internet. Users are the same.

After confirming that he had returned to the real world, Ke Lan immediately looked around, and at the same time raised his wrist to glance at the mechanical watch - the good news is that less than ten minutes have passed in the real world, and there is no powerful person yet. Mutants have invaded this unowned area, but the bad news is that Thirty-Three seems to be still immersed in his own fantasy and unable to extricate himself.

Looking at Thirty-Three, he seemed to have encountered some terrifying monster in a fantasy world. He was holding a Nino alloy hand ax in his hand, stumbling back and forth in the forest, swinging the ax constantly, leaving a trail of slashes on the tree trunks. A slash mark.

But he was only chopping, and did not use his "main weapon", those black flying blades - it is estimated that in Thirty-Three's illusion, he did not have this special ability to manipulate Nino alloy.

"Thirty-three, wake up!"

Ke Lan stepped forward and wanted to wake up Thirty-three, but the other party hit Ke Lan's face with an ax.

Ke Lan could only choose to dodge, but Thirty-Three seemed to recognize Ke Lan, and continued to pursue him with one ax after another——
