Alien Relic Hunter.

Chapter 411 Skill Upgrade

"Then... if I fuse this thing, will there be any side effects on me?" Ke Lan asked with some concern.

In many fantasy novels, most of the props that can quickly increase the strength are accompanied by some weird side effects, such as the sunflower book that needs to be swung from the palace, the elixir that will overdraw the future potential and cause the strength to stagnate, etc. They are all relatively light, and I am afraid that the kind of gadgets that will go crazy and explode to death... There are also those treasures that will subtly affect the mind of the user, and even turn against the customer - such as a certain famous ring.

"You have already fused half of the crystal, if there is any side effect, it should have already appeared." Zelo said.

"As for the side effects...it seems that there are really no, radiation resistance, fast healing...these are all benign mutations, and there is nothing uncomfortable about the body. If you insist on side effects, it is probably that you often have nightmares, and then hear The screams of those victims before they died, if it were someone with a weaker mental capacity, they would probably have already collapsed."

"You fell into those dreams because of me, because of this crystal, there is a very special connection between us, no matter how far apart we are, I can sense your existence, even in the frozen time. .”

Ke Lan froze for a moment?what is this?A father-daughter relationship that transcends time and space?

But having said that, if Ze Luo is really a little human girl, it would be nice to have such a daughter, but her learning ability is too scary. Ke Lan only got in touch with her for half a day. It feels like the girl has grown from a babbling baby to an adult who can take charge of herself. Her way of thinking is completely in accordance with the standards of an adult...even a hundred-year-old monster like Chiron.

If the relationship between Ze Luo and Ke Lan was like a father and daughter a few hours ago, it is a bit closer to brother and sister now.

Ke Lan even has a feeling that after a while, it won't be the other way around... becoming a mother and a child, right? ? ?

Sure enough, the creations of the Alpha civilization can never be measured by human standards. No matter how close her appearance is to humans, her essence is still a creature that has existed for tens of thousands of years and is far superior to humans.

Ke Lan remembered what he was worried about before. What if Ze Luo loses interest in "pretending to be a human being" which is a common "entertainment" for them?Bringing her to the ark, would it be like bringing a time bomb—no, it should be said to be a time bomb.

After all, in the eyes of advanced civilizations, the life of low-level civilizations can only be regarded as a pastime after dinner-just like a child may stare at the ants moving for hours, or may urinate on a whim , destroying the entire ant nest.

But what makes Ke Lan feel the tragedy the most is...he doesn't seem to reject Ze Luo's capital.

"In addition, the remaining thoughts of those victims have dissipated with the death of the puppet individual, and you will not hear those voices in the future." Just as Ke Lan was thinking wildly, Ze Luo's voice was so cold that there was no emotion. Pull him back to reality.

"This is rare good news." Ke Lan stretched out his hand, wanting to hold the half crystal in front of his eyes for a closer look, but just as his hand approached, the crystal suddenly floated towards him as if attracted ——Ke Lan just wanted to withdraw his hand, and the half crystal suddenly crossed the distance of more than ten centimeters like a flash, and got into his palm.

Ke Lan didn't even feel the pain, the crystal had penetrated under his skin and melted into his blood.

"Could it be that this thing is a stand-in messenger? They can still attract each other?" Ke Lan complained silently. Everything happened so fast just now that he didn't even have time to make a surprised expression.

Ze Luo looked at Ke Lan seriously, obviously thinking about what the "substitute messenger" in Ke Lan's words was - after all, such wonderful metaphors are not likely to appear in the vocabulary of ordinary human beings.

"Then I'm like this... Is it 'finished'? Uh, I mean the half crystal in my body, is it a complete one now?"

Zelo nodded.

"Then my abilities should have changed too?"

Zelo nodded again.

As the saying goes, seeing is better than hearing a hundred times, so Ke Lan decided to give it a try first, to see what new changes it brings to her abilities after being "made up".

He took a deep breath and lightly clenched his fists.

The surrounding things turned into black and white in an instant, and the wailing sounds he had become accustomed to did not resound in Ke Lan's mind, instead, there was an unbearable stabbing pain from the depths of his brain!

"what!"

Ke Lan let out a scream, and immediately squatted down with his hands hugging his head. At the same time, the effect of time-stop was also released, and everything around him returned to normal.

"Pain, pain, pain..." Ke Lan said with trembling lips. Although the tingling pain was only for a moment, the impression it left on him was too "profound". Just recalling it made him shudder—— This kind of stinging pain goes directly to the soul, and people's willpower alone cannot resist it. If it is not necessary, Ke Lan definitely does not want to feel it once.

"What the hell is going on here? Why did the two halves crystallize and fuse, but instead..." He stood up from the ground, but suddenly felt dizzy. Fortunately, he held onto the railing on the side in time, so he didn't fall over on the ground.

Ke Lan felt as if his brain had been hollowed out, and an irresistible sense of drowsiness kept gushing out from the depths of his brain. Any slight movement made him feel as if there was some heavy liquid shaking in his head, just It seemed that what was filled there was not brain pulp, but mercury with a density much higher than that of brain pulp.

"No... just now it seems..."

Although the memory was painful, Ke Lan still forced himself to recall the scene just now - he clearly remembered that when he screamed out and put his hands to his head, the surrounding scenes were still in black and white, until he His body began to crouch, and the world returned to color.

In other words, the screams he made and the movement of covering his head with his hands were done in a time-stop state.

Doesn't this mean that he has the ability to stop and carry out activities at any time?
"Could this be the version 2.0 after the upgrade of 'Time Stop'?" Ke Lan seemed to have forgotten the discomfort in his body, and looked at his hands in astonishment, "So, that tingling feeling...is because of me His mental strength was instantly drained?"
