Alien Relic Hunter.

Chapter 801 Embrace death in human form

"What...what's going on? What happened to my body...?"

Mo Jue felt that his thinking ability seemed to stagnate for a moment... It seemed like a moment, and it seemed that a long time had passed.

In her field of vision, everything around her became extremely slow. Just when she was so surprised that she wanted to call out to Ke Lan, a seemingly invisible sight traveled through countless spaces and time, and projected on her of body and soul.

The pain like being struck by lightning suddenly woke Mo Jue from the trance state, and she suddenly found that she could hear the "voice" from the corroded wrecks in front of her—not only hearing, She can also understand the meaning of those meaningless ravings!
"Stop them...don't let the invaders disturb the sacrificial ceremony of the great god...stop them..."

Although the lips of these eclipses did not move from the beginning to the end, they kept repeating "this sentence".

"What prevents it? What sacrificial ceremony?"

Before Mo Jue's brain could react, a pair of sharp claws pierced her chest, tearing her entire chest apart!
This is an injury that can kill a person in an instant, but Mo Jue didn't feel any impact on her body other than the pain... Even, under her subconscious counterattack, the pair of stabbing her chest The sharp claws were broken by Qi Gen!

"This is... my power?"

Mo Jue was shocked by his own actions - the sharp claws that were unscathed by the resonance of the three crystal energy bombs just now were broken by his own hands? !

"Could it be that I...have become that kind of...'monster'?" Mo Jue couldn't help but froze, she lowered her head in disbelief, looking at the wound on her chest——

The wound had disappeared, and even the scars were completely gone, but the skin that was originally wheat-colored showed a strange redness, as if burning magma was flowing under the skin.

"No!" Although she had been mentally prepared for a long time, when this moment really came, Mo Jue still couldn't accept this reality. She hugged her head and fell to her knees on the ground with a "plop", shaking desperately. head.

"Don't...don't...I don't want to become a monster..."

Two eclipses rushed forward, one of them strung Mo Jue's body with the arm that had mutated into a bone blade, and the other eroded from its body shot out hundreds of tentacles with the structure of empty tubes, piercing into it. into her body, frantically sucking her flesh and blood.

The great pain caused by the crushing and sucking of body tissues immediately overwhelmed Mo Jue's last trace of rationality. The strange red color spread all over her body in an instant, and countless red spikes burst out from every corner of her body. Coming out... Her body, which could still maintain a human form, turned into a huge red "sea urchin" in an instant.

The bodies of the two corroded bodies that were attacking her were suddenly sieved by these spikes... This time, the absorber and the absorbed characters were completely reversed, and the bodies of the two corroded bodies were separated in a short period of time. It shriveled up in a second, leaving only a layer of hard skin wrapped around the skeleton, while the spikes on the "big urchin" transformed by Mo Jue became more and more bright red .

Hundreds of tentacles stretched out from the gaps in the spikes, sweeping towards all the moving things in the bridge except Ke Lan.Every time these tentacles grab a wreck, they will drag it to the "sea urchin", and use those spikes to penetrate and absorb it.

Even 33, who had just rushed to the bridge, was almost swept away by several tentacles that were attacking him. Fortunately, he blocked it with a flying blade for a moment, then quickly withdrew and retreated a dozen steps, and retreated outside the bridge in one breath , relying on Ze Luo's space shield to separate those tentacles that were chasing.

Otherwise, he might have become a single person at this moment.

"What is this...?" 33 stared in shock at the tentacles retreating angrily, and asked Ze Luo, "Where are Ke Lan and Mo Jue? Are they still inside?"

"Yeah." Zelo nodded, and then walked forward.

"Wait!" 33 wanted to reach out to Lazello, but found that a soft space barrier blocked his movement, "Ke Lan sent me a text message at the last moment before the communication was cut off, he It is said that there is something in the bridge that can stop you, so you can't enter the bridge, and you can't interfere with it with your power, so it's going to be a tough fight... If you go in now, is it okay?"

"Just now, that force field disappeared." After Zelo finished speaking, he stepped over the frame of the airtight door.

With Ze Luo leading the way, 33 was no longer afraid of the tentacles that almost grabbed him just now. He took a deep breath and immediately followed.

The two walked around the separation walls and walked to the open place. 33 was startled by the scene in front of him: "Then... what is that 'big thorn ball'? Was it killed by it? Why didn't it attack Ke Lan?"

"She is Mo Jue." Ze Luo said softly.

"Mo Jue?!" 33 was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted, "Her erosion has exceeded the critical value? Is this her...'erosion' state?"

Zelo nodded.

Mo Jue's incarnation of "Erosion Wreck" is very powerful. Even in the face of enemies in the bridge that are more than ten times larger than his own, he has achieved a completely crushing posture... Perhaps crushing is used to describe the strength gap between the two sides. Not very accurate, this is completely instant kill - from those tentacles stretched out from the gap between the spikes, to the last carcass being dragged back and sucked dry, the entire battle process is only ten seconds.

Ke Lan finally succeeded in breaking through the firewall of the central control computer, and regained control of the battleship by virtue of the virus implanted in it. The energy shield was instantly deployed, and the vines wrapped around the "Genoa" ship were ablated. clean and dry.

A predicament that was almost unsolvable has been broken in the blink of an eye.

But whether it is Ke Lan or 33, they are not happy at this time.

Although Ze Luo didn't show any emotion, she just kept staring at the "sea urchin" transformed by Mo Jue vigilantly, but she didn't make a direct move, and she didn't even impose restrictions on Mo Jue's body under normal circumstances. body.

Everyone was silent, no one made a sound.

After about ten seconds, those bright red spikes slowly shrunk inward... The huge "red sea urchin" disappeared, leaving only a woman standing in place covered in blood and her skin torn apart .

Those spikes that were more than ten meters long were all retracted into this body that was only 1.7 meters tall, and even looked a little thin... From Ke Lan's point of view, these spikes did not seem to be retracted from Mo Jue's body. within her body, as if melting into her flesh and blood...

The gap left by the spikes on the skin has healed in a blink of an eye, and even the tiny tentacles that grew out of Mo Jue's head have retracted under the skin. Now she looks like a completely normal human being. It doesn't make any difference.

But everyone present knew that it was impossible for her to return to the way she was before entering the forest.

Mo Jue turned her head with some difficulty, and looked at Ke Lan—her cloudy eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, and her pupils showed signs of spreading... She couldn't see anything at the moment, and she was just looking for it with her memory. Look at Ke Lan's position.

"I'm here." Ke Lan said, but Mo Jue's expression didn't change in any way—she lost not only vision, but also her sense of hearing...

Mo Jue's terrifying power did not come for nothing... Ke Lan is very clear about the rules of "His", since he wants power, he must exchange it with the corresponding thing... Anything that can be regarded as "His" in the concept of "His" Anything that can be used as a bargaining chip can be exchanged, no matter life, body, soul...or emotion, memory, etc., but what Mo Jue uses as a bargaining chip is her senses.

When she was picked up by the bone blade, the unbearable pain destroyed her consciousness, and the last trace of her clarity was to shield all the senses in her body... Perhaps, this was also a trace of pity from "His" ?

Would he have pity on humans, creatures that seemed like insects to him?
Maybe.

When a person sees a dying insect struggling in pain, he may choose to help it out—this person probably does not have good intentions, nor does he think about the life, death and pain of the insect, he even has It is possible to forget this act of one's heart immediately after doing this... But anyway, from the bug's point of view, this can indeed be regarded as a kind of "mercy".

"I'm here." Ke Lan stepped forward and put his hand on Mo Jue's shoulder.

He was not worried that Mo Jue would attack him, and the subconscious sense of crisis did not appear.

Although Mo Jue lost all her senses, she could still feel that someone was holding her shoulders. There was a look of relief on her face, and her lips moved slightly.

She couldn't speak, and Ke Lan didn't read her mouth...but Ke Lan knew what she wanted to say to herself.

"I know." Ke Lan nodded, pulled out the pistol from his waist, and put the muzzle on Mo Jue's head.

"Good night, have a good dream." Ke Lan said silently, and then pulled the trigger.

Sudden gunshots sounded in the silent bridge, a fist-sized blood hole appeared in the back of Mo Jue's head, she fell straight backwards, her lifeless body fell to the ground, and exploded into a ball The blood mist quickly evaporated and disappeared.

"Can't even leave the corpse..." 33 murmured, "That's good... at least it's clean."

"She gave up that power by herself in the end... Her obsession is different from other eclipses. She wants to embrace death as a human being, so she will return to her original state in the end." Ze Luo said expressionlessly, "She got her wish."

"Embracing death with a human attitude?" 33 glanced at the three-no girl with some surprise, "Which literary book did you learn this rhetoric from? It sounds... quite tragic."

"No, I read it before her last ray of consciousness died," Zelo replied.

"..." 33 rubbed the bridge of his nose vigorously, suppressing a certain sore feeling, "If I have this day, I hope you can do me this little favor."

"Your mood swings are obvious." Ze Luo looked at 33 with some doubts, "I can feel the sadness in your emotions."

"Uh...did you see it, or did you use your...special ability?" 33 rubbed his face, raised his wrist, and looked at his expression through the reflection of the watch mirror.

His eye sockets weren't red, and his facial features didn't change significantly, but for some reason, 33 always felt depressed looking at his own face.

He tried to smile, but found that laughing was uglier than crying.

"I can feel human emotions within a certain range." Ze Luo said, "Although there are many conditions to directly read human thinking, it is still very easy if you only feel emotional changes."

After hearing what Ze Luo said, 33 took a few steps back subconsciously, and put a distance away from the three-no girl: "To be honest, this ability makes me feel... a little uncomfortable. Don't look at me like that, although I have experienced a lot of life and death, and I am more open-minded, which does not mean that I am a hard-hearted person."

"Because Mo Jue is your kind, did her death arouse your empathy and make you feel sad?" Ze Luo asked, "Sorry, my expression may be a bit blunt, but my understanding of human beings Emotional changes, I've always been interested... I thought, if I can figure out the mystery of it thoroughly, maybe I can become exactly like a human being."

"You can't say that... Actually, I don't know how to answer your question, but I always feel that your statement just now is not right." 33 scratched the back of his head, "Have you never had this kind of problem?" Do you feel it?"

Ze Luo nodded, then shook his head again: "I don't know... But when Ke Lan killed Mo Jue just now, I had an urge to stop him."

"But," Zelo continued, "I know this impulse is wrong, and it's not that strong, so it disappeared quickly."

"This shows that you are becoming more and more like a person...in various senses." Ke Lan said, walking towards the two of them.

"How is the situation now?" 33 changed the subject and asked.

"It's bad, at least the 'Genoa' is useless." Ke Lan showed a helpless smile, "Even if the vines used to repair the hull were not burned by the energy shield, a ship that lost AI A battleship, to us, is no different from a big pile of scrap metal."

"That's really bad enough... No, it should be said that it's downright bad." 33 shrugged, "Without a battleship, your original crazy plan would have no chance of being implemented—"

33 was halfway through, and suddenly stopped: "Wait a minute, we have another battleship!"

[To be honest, when Ke Lan repeated "I'm here" to Mo Jue twice today when I was coding this chapter, the Japanese dubbing automatically popped up in my mind: Kou Kou Da, oh Lei Wa Kou Kou... ...It's over, could it be that I'm a rarity?
