Alien Relic Hunter

"If she is trying to lure you to the Gray Mist Forest..." The hound hammered his palms hard several times, "Maybe this bitch is the 'mole' you have been looking for. Maybe. Even the 'information' you found was specially arranged by others."

"But if Aphrodite wants to kill Ke Lan, there is no need for her to lead Ke Lan to the Gray Mist Forest, right?" Leighton asked doubtfully.

"You don't understand this. This trick is called 'borrowing a knife to kill'. Borrow the knife from the Gray Fog Forest to kill Ke Lan... And if we trace it, there won't be any loopholes - the intelligence from the Gray Fog Forest is Ke Lan." Lan found out by himself that the decision to go to the Gray Mist Forest was also Ke Lan's own decision. That Aphdirota was nothing more than a "goodwill" answer to Ke Lan's few questions and played a video for him about the gray mist. It's just a 'completely unrelated' video of the forest. If Ke Lan really died in the gray mist forest, she could easily have killed herself," Hound said.

The hound looked around at the other people in the room, raised his head and drank the beer in his hand, and said: "Of course, I am just making a hypothesis... But anyway, Ke Lan, since you want to deal with this kind of disagreement, When dealing with old silver coins that have lived for hundreds of years, it’s best to be careful.”

"Old dog, do you mean to just let Ke Lan stabilize the current situation?" Leighton muttered, "The problem is... a member of the Undead Crew Association has been assassinated, and the person who was assassinated was still on Ke Lan's side. On Lan’s side...who knows who the murderer’s next target will be?”

"Is there a direct relationship between uncovering the mole and exploring the gray mist forest?" The hound rolled his eyes at Layton with some dissatisfaction, "Is it true that all you have in your mind is engine oil?"

"But all the clues have been broken, and I can't find a better way to break the situation..." Ke Lan propped his elbows on his knees and put his hands on his chin, "My intuition tells me that there is no way to solve the problem with the mole." The relevant clues are hidden in the secrets they are unwilling to tell me."

"Intuition? You're not a girl -" the hound said here, subconsciously looking up at Zofia and Valentina, and smiled awkwardly, "Of course, my words are not directed at you. Lesbian... But Ke Lan, you have to think clearly. The place you plan to go to is the Gray Mist Forest... If it is just a C-level B-level... even if it is an A-level ruin, I will not express any opinions, but this place is... So far, no one has successfully explored it. Is it worth taking such a big risk just for your so-called 'intuition'?"

"I think it's worth it." Ke Lan nodded - he knew that this "intuition" was not actually intuition in the literal sense, but fragments leaked from the memory fragments sealed deep in his mind. In the past, The experience has always shown Ke Lan that these "fragments" are completely trustworthy.

"I know that the risk of entering the Gray Mist Forest is very high. The candidates for this operation are more refined than too many. Those who don't want to go can stay and help Zofia handle the internal affairs of Ark and the hunting group. I will not force it." Ke Lan said to everyone in the room.

Akira Asano and Ze Luo stood behind Ke Lan without saying anything - they were the strongest supporters of Ke Lan in the hunting group. Even if Ke Lan now said that he would go to war with the undead crew, the two of them would not do anything. Don't hesitate to join his side.

"I'll go with you too." Valentina also stood up and walked towards Ke Lan.

"Hey...sigh..." Chi Hanfeng's face twitched. His hand froze as soon as he raised it halfway. Finally, he slowly lowered it down, and his unspoken words were replaced by a helpless sigh. .

"I'm quite interested in the things you described." Thirty-three played with the flying blade in his hand, "I also know that you need my power."

"Your team is still missing a doctor." Ivan raised his mechanical prosthetic leg.

"Since you all plan to go crazy with this guy, then I too -" Hound was about to stand up, but Ke Lan held his shoulders and pinned him down on the seat.

The hound has not undergone strengthening surgery. If the limit of human strength and physical strength is counted as ten points, he is only seven or eight points at best. Facing Ke Lan, who has at least thirty points or more, the hound is completely unable to move.

"What do you mean? Ke Lan?"

"Old dog, you and Leighton, Zhuoligetu...and Laochi, please don't go." Ke Lan said softly, "You are right, this operation is very dangerous, even if Zeluo Now, she can't take care of everyone."

The hound was silent for a full half minute, and then nodded with some hesitation: "I understand what you mean... With the current strength of us, we are indeed a hindrance to you... I am not the kind of person who wants to save face. You stubborn old man, you know it’s for our own good that you don’t let us go. But at least, you have to leave the logistics task to your own people who are trustworthy like us, right?”

"Old dog, I have a more important task for you." Ke Lan patted his shoulder and pulled him up.

"What mission?"

"Do you still remember the exploration operation inside Yaguna Kotor? Although it was previously shelved due to the war in the Bronze City, I restarted it not long ago. That guy Ye Yan also came out of his sadness and took it with him. All the remaining men of the Ye family are stationed on Yagunaktor... According to the secret report that just came in yesterday, they discovered three new plots of land."

"Are you planning to put me in charge of things over there?"

"Well... the deeper Yagunaktor's exploration progresses, the more trump cards we have in our hands. Assuming that the undead crew is really brewing a conspiracy, the only way we can use it to compete with them is, There is only this ancient battleship."

"Why did you say that?" Hound's face suddenly changed, "Did your 'intuition'... tell you something again?"

"I'm not sure..." Ke Lan shook his head thoughtfully.

"Do you think that... the secrets hidden in the Gray Mist Forest may lead to a break between you and other members of the Undead Crew?"

"It's always good to be fully prepared," Ke Lan said. "Faced with anything, I would rather prepare the worst-case scenario in advance than let things develop beyond my expectations."

"Understood, we will speed up the progress here." Hound nodded, "You also have to be more careful. If it is really impossible, don't bite the bullet and continue. If it really doesn't work, go back and let's think about it together. Method."
