Falling into the Abyss

Ethan sent Taifeng to the East District Clinic before the piercing alarm sounded in the early morning.The small building was very close to the first wall of the Forbidden City, and there were robot policemen everywhere.When Ethan helped Tai Feng in, there were several guards with guns staring at them from a distance, and Sen Leng's gaze was still like a thorn in his back from a long distance away.

It can be considered that Taifeng is lucky, there is indeed a doctor in the clinic who comes to do free services, and he happens to be an Omega. Seeing Taifeng's weak appearance, he immediately arranged a series of examinations, and it is likely that he will rest in the clinic for a few days for observation .After Ethan settled down, Tai Feng planned to leave, but Tai Feng suddenly grabbed his clothes.

He turned his head, but saw Taifeng looking at him seriously, "Be careful."

Ethan didn't know what to say, so he nodded and hurried to the cafeteria.However, the delay was too long after all. Non-people had already gone to work in different factories and construction sites, and the doors of the cafeteria had been tightly closed.He was about to rub his gurgling stomach and leave when he suddenly heard a blunt and cold voice behind him, "Ethan Eldridge?"

Ethan turned around and saw a guard.Luckily it wasn't Gray Hair, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The young guard came over dangling the baton in his hand, and glanced at him impatiently, "What did you do, why didn't you eat on time?"

"I got up late..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the baton gave him a heavy blow on his stomach. His stomach, which was empty at first, seemed to be knotted together suddenly. He couldn't even cry out. He bent down like a shrimp, his face wrinkled. got together.The guard was still angry and kicked his knee again.Ethan knelt down because he couldn't stand still, and he heard the guard say in a harsh tone that was still a bit rusty and artificial, "Do you know how long I have been waiting here? Next time you are late, go directly to the darkroom."

The darkroom is what people in the Forbidden City call the confinement room. Generally, non-humans who make mistakes will be locked up.There's no light, no sound, nothing in the house.It is said that being locked up alone for three days is as long as three years.The strange thing is that some inhumans who looked very fierce were terrified when they mentioned the darkroom, and those who didn't even change their face when they were stabbed with a knife cried and confessed their mistakes after staying in a completely closed state for less than a week. Those who haven't tried it themselves can't imagine the taste.

Only then will one realize just how needy a communicative species humans are.

Of course Ethan hasn't tried it yet, so he doesn't know what kind of threat it is.He just judged from the tone of his voice that the guard seemed to want to trouble him, and judging from the exaggeration and deliberateness of his tone of voice and movements, he was probably asked to do so.

"I'm sorry." He bowed his head and admitted his mistake without hesitation, making a submissive gesture to avoid further angering the other party.

This guard had just come to the Forbidden City not long ago. In the past, he would never have imagined that one day he would treat another person so viciously, but after three months in the Forbidden City, everything changed.The people in the Forbidden City are not human beings, but scum who have committed murder, arson, rape, and robbery.When drinking in bars outside the city, those beautiful Omega girls like to hear him brag about how he taught those scum who should be hanged in the city.As time passed, he became more and more used to the Forbidden City, and he gradually understood all the pornographic jokes about inhumanity that his seniors told.

And today, it is said that this person was an important member of the government before.I don't know how many immoral things those high-ranking big men have done, and how many people have been exploited. Now that they are in the hands of these little people, they should really show them some color.

Thinking of this, he kicked Ethan a few more times.Ethan let out a series of coughing sounds, clutched his stomach and fell to the ground, looking ashamed.

Having vented enough, the young guard stroked his hair and straightened his clothes, as if the hysterical beating just now wasn't him.He threw a number plate in front of Ethan, "Report to the plumbing department of East Building 10 within 11 minutes."

10 minutes...Ethan didn't even know where the NO.11 building was.

Holding his aching stomach, he ran through the intricate alleys like a headless fly, looking for the number upstairs, and found his destination about 15 minutes later.As soon as he entered the door, he saw a guard with his feet up on the table playing a palm game. He glanced at him, "I'm 5 minutes late, go out and run around the building for me [-] times before coming in."

Ethan was stunned for two seconds, until the other party narrowed his eyes dangerously and looked at him, then he hurried out the door.This building does not occupy a large area, but after running for ten laps, he was already sweating profusely. In addition, he was beaten up before, and his lower abdomen was painful every time he ran.

After finally finishing thirty laps, Ethan was already dizzy, and his mouth was full of fishy and salty taste.Re-entering the door with trembling legs, the guard casually threw him a steel helmet with a headlamp on it and led him around to the back door, pointing to an uncovered wellhead and saying, "All the tools for cleaning up the mud are below, you My job is to clean up the sludge in the drainpipes with others."

Ethan looked at the narrow hole and didn't move. The pipe is so thin, it doesn't seem like a place where people can get in?

The guard poked his back with a baton from behind, "What are you doing in a daze, go."

As he climbed down a row of rusted ladders nailed into the brickwork, he was almost sure that Grayfur must have told all the guards not to give him good fruit.It was difficult to even turn around in the narrow space, the hole above gradually shrunk to a small dot, and the bottom was pitch black.He could only hear the sound of his own breathing becoming more and more rapid, and he had the illusion that he was about to be buried alive.

At the bottom of the shaft was a horizontal circular pipe. As soon as he landed, he felt his feet sink into a piece of muddy water up to his knees, and his shoes and socks were immediately soaked.The rotten smell of yin and tide hit his face, reminding him of a swollen corpse soaked in water for a month.He turned on the lamp on his helmet, and a beam of light shot into the darkness, illuminating the entire drainage pipe made of some ancient material.It is most likely to be masonry, but the pipe wall has been covered with thick and greasy stains and moss, and occasionally there are unknown flocs hanging down, inexplicably reminiscent of indigestible intestines.

Ethan could only hear the uproar of water when he walked around, and he yelled a few words, but no one responded.He stumbled forward in the sewage, his feet were limp, and he didn't know what he stepped on.The smell made him want to vomit after smelling it for a long time, but he couldn't vomit anything without eating all morning, so he could only retch occasionally.

After walking for a while, there was a fork in the road, and every point was three forks.Ethan stopped in his tracks, not daring to move forward.

He had heard before that some ancient cities on the earth had extremely intricate drainage systems, such as the original Paris, France on the earth, so that some rich people who liked to hunt for novelties would pay someone to be a guide to take them to explore the sewers.Those pipes are like a maze. Once you lose your guide, you may be trapped inside.He remembered that a similar incident happened last year. A rich second generation starved to death with his girlfriend inside, with an expression of extreme horror on his face.

He wondered if this was Gray Mao's plan to trap him to death?

He won't be fooled.

He waited anxiously for a while, and finally heard voices coming from the side road.

"I still believe Chen Zeng's words, because Johnny has seen it too. They said that the evil god looks like an octopus, but it has many more claws than an octopus, and it is as large as hundreds of floors. high."

"Tch, that might really be a huge octopus."

"How can an octopus talk? She said she was going to come to Earth. Sigh... There are too few people with faith on Earth now, and they are all sinners who only know how to enjoy themselves. Isn't this like that sinful city... Oh yes, is Sodom the same? Sooner or later the Lord will punish us, and the Great Evil God is the killing angel he sent."

Ethan seemed to be discussing Shabu Nicholas on the red earth?

But what octopus, what hundreds of stories high?What are these things?This is obviously not what Shabu Nicholas looks like?

What strange remarks did Chen Zeng spread among non-humans?

"Hmph, it should have come long ago. People nowadays are really willing to do anything for money, and they are simply morally depraved. And those Omega, the number is small in the first place, and they have to mess with other Omega if they are good Alphas. Fuck, I think all these people who don't think about the future of mankind deserve to die."

Ethan just wanted to roll his eyes when he heard that, he was very curious about what kind of crime the person who said this had committed and was imprisoned in the Forbidden City.It didn't take long for someone to appear, they were two skinny and inhumans with dark bodies.

No wonder, in such an environment, even he struggled to squeeze in, someone like Samuel might get stuck.

"Hi!" Ethan shouted first.

The two non-humans saw him immediately, "Who are you?"

"They asked me to help with the plumbing."

"Damn, why did you get another nerd down here." A non-human cursed and spit into the stagnant water on the ground.

For the next day, Ethan basically carried a lot of shovels, a large box containing a strong acid corrosive solution container and many other tools, and followed the two non-humans to investigate all the way.Only then did he know that the Forbidden City was originally a prosperous and ancient city on the earth, and 80.00% of these drainage pipes were left over from ancient times.Nearly half of them are no longer usable and have been built with bricks and stones.

The structure of those pipes is surprisingly complicated, and many places are blocked with yellow seals covered with stains.Among them, the older inhuman Kim Ki-joon told him that everything can be found in this sewer, and once he even found an inhuman corpse who had been dead for an unknown time, most likely trying to escape from the sewer The people who went to the city were trapped and died inside.

"Can you escape out of the city from the sewer?" Ethan keenly grasped the point of the whole story.

"It's just a rumor. The Forbidden City is impenetrable. Since its establishment, no one has ever successfully escaped. Anyone who entered the sewer was either captured or died here."

At the end of the day, Ethan returned home like a stinking clay figurine, and everyone shunned him wherever he passed.Even Samuel disliked him so much that he was not allowed near his own bed.

After a month like this, Ethan finally gradually got used to the sludge floating around in the sewer, dead rats, feces, feminine hygiene products, and the ubiquitous stench, and he no longer spit out everything in his stomach.Once he even picked up a harmonica, took it back, rinsed it with clean water, put it to his mouth and blew it, and it was still usable except for a few notes that were slightly distorted.Samuel couldn't believe that he put something he picked up from the sewer into his mouth, and immediately forced him to brush his teeth five times, even donating his own toothpaste.The reason is that his estrus is coming soon, and he can't bear to have a person dirtier than a mouse in his nest.

Adhering to the principle of keeping a low profile and not fighting back when hit or scolded, Ethan seemed to be gradually forgotten after being troubled by the guards two or three times.After being beaten bruised and swollen for the last time, he sat on the bed and let Samuel apply medicine to the bruise at the corner of his mouth, and even laughed, "I'm considered a man who has fought with someone now."

"What do you call fighting? It's just being beaten." Samuel frowned and poked his waist hard, causing him to gasp in pain.

Fortunately, there was no movement after that time.Recently, all the guards seem to be very busy, and the number of guards seems to have increased, and the number of inspections of prohibited items is more frequent than before, and it is not known what happened.Non-people in the Forbidden City are discussing in private, perhaps some important person is going to inspect the city.

Just when he thought his life was on the right track and his tense nerves began to relax a little bit, one day he was on the way back to the residential area after work, and he felt that the atmosphere on the road was a bit weird. Go back to the residence, but gather towards the widest "central axis road" in the Forbidden City that crosses the east and west areas.

There are many robot policemen standing on both sides of the central axis road, so many that Ethan wonders if all the robot policemen in the whole city have been moved here.Non-people were whistling and booing around the side of the road, reminding him of the noises he heard the first day he came to the Forbidden City blindfolded and almost scared him to pee.

Thinking about it now, this was nothing more than a bluff.

With a bit of curiosity, he also walked over with a dirty body.The people around were all shunned by him, but it was convenient for him to squeeze all the way to the front.

Then he froze.

Apparently there were no newcomers entering the city, because apart from the long-disappeared chief of guard Schneider leading the way, there were also four soldiers escorting the person walking in the middle.

Four Eve soldiers with three eyes and pointed ears.

And the beautiful man walking in the middle, wearing a silver robe holding a scepter and smiling calmly, is Tanisel who he thought he would never see again!

The third eye on Tanisel's forehead opened slightly, as if he knew where Ethan was for a long time. When Ethan opened his eyes wide, those light gray eyes also looked at Ethan .Then, he took a step, deviated from the original straight line, and walked straight towards Ethan.

The noise immediately rose to a higher level, and the four Eve soldiers obviously wanted to stop the priest's behavior, but Tanithel just raised his hand slightly, and they retreated like obedient puppets.He looked so tall and holy, and the dim sunlight reflected on his body seemed to be filled with a soft luster.In contrast, Ethan suddenly understood how embarrassed he was now, and it was a miracle that Tanisel could recognize him when he was so embarrassed.

He wanted to run a little bit, but he couldn't move his feet.

After a while, the priest stood in front of him with the open arms of the two mechanical policemen.He and Ethan looked at each other for a moment, with a wicked smile on his lips.

However, he didn't say anything, just turned his eyes around the healed bite mark on Ethan's neck, turned around and left again.

The author has something to say:

These chapters are relatively dull, and the next redemption mission will start as soon as possible
