Falling into the Abyss

Through the slender windows of the military dormitory, one can see Neptune's rings, which are filled with a faint blue luster, across the sky.An atmosphere of hydrogen, helium, and methane slowly swirls above the massive planet's surface, which obscures most of the starry sky.He still remembered that his father had come to the Tenth Base before to help the government design and build new military spaceships, and when he got home, he told him that there was a large sea of ​​diamonds on that sea-blue planet.As a young boy, he looked at the same small blue spot of light through the astronomical telescope, and imagined in his mind a huge ocean made of countless conical diamonds of different sizes covering half of the planet.

It was only after he grew up that he realized that the diamond sea was liquid, and it probably looked no different from ordinary oceans.But he still had a dreamy affection for the planet.It's just that I didn't expect to meet it so close for the first time, but it was an inhuman identity.

The other non-humans were not asleep either, they gathered around Jiawen, guessing what the so-called experiment was.Apparently, Gray Hair's last words scared a lot of people. The experiment that sent them to hell was simply a scary word for the sake of scaring people.

"He said we just need to stay in that mini space station. Could it be to test the defense capabilities of the space station or something?"

"Then there's no need to use living people, right? There are so many cheap bionic robots."

"Don't forget that we are not human at all in their eyes."

Jiawen suddenly spoke up, staring straight at Ethan who was dazed by the window, "Hey, that Omega over there who is the same as Beta, you were not an official in the government before? Do you know what experiments are going on here? "

Ethan sighed, and looked away, "I'm from the Energy Bureau, and I don't have much contact with the army."

"Shit, didn't we send troops to suppress Tiangang's rebellion a while ago to dig more rare earth resources for your Energy Bureau?" Jiawen sneered, tilting his head and asked him, "I was a lackey once, and I will be a lackey all my life. Are you still thinking of keeping it a secret from your master?"

The aggressive and contemptuous tone sparked anger in Ethan's heart. He thought that if he admits cowardly now, he would probably embarrass Samuel as well.So he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and adjusted his glasses, "I have a guess. In ancient times, there was a country on Earth that conducted a military experiment. Some people called it the Rainbow Project, and some called it the Philadelphia Experiment. That was For the first time, human beings tried to create a temporary strong magnetic field to bend the space, so that the ship and people could enter another time and space. Of course, the experiment failed, and many crew members disappeared mysteriously, and some of them merged with the ship. For a long time Project Rainbow was shelved and even officially denied, saying it was all a rumour. However, with the arrival of the interstellar age, perhaps the military has revived its interest in it.”

For a while, no one answered his words, only people looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering if they understood what he said.

The reason why Ethan was deeply impressed by the legend about this experiment was that the name of the Destroyer was actually the same as his family's surname, both of which were Eldridge.But this time, after hearing the "hell" that Huimao said, he inexplicably thought of the mother goddess squeezed out of the space-time rift on the red earth, the distant experiment, and the parallel universe exploration proposal that was submitted by the Energy Bureau and then disappeared.

"You mean...we will be teleported to another parallel dimension?" asked an Omega with a pale face.

Ethan nodded approvingly, thinking that Omega has a higher IQ than Alpha, "It's just a speculation. The population of the Earth Alliance has been increasing, but the per capita resource possession has been declining. The Energy Bureau has indeed been looking for possible new energy input channels. It is of course best not to get it through war, so we once submitted an application for the study of parallel universes, but it was rejected. Later, it was rumored that the rejection was only on the surface, and in fact the army had secretly begun to collect the ancient Philadelphia experiment. Information. I don’t know if it’s because of this reason that I was named this time.”

"Hmph, isn't it because you provoked the second in command?" Jiawen's face turned green and pale, probably because he didn't expect Ethan to reveal a lot of specious inside information.

Ethan shrugged, "He has all the inhuman detailed personal information, maybe he mentioned me to the above. This is not contradictory." After all, judging from the last selection, everyone was selected to participate in a mission All for a reason.Even the actions of volunteers may be counted.

Another Beta asked, "Is this experiment dangerous?"

"It will never be more dangerous than the ancient Rainbow Project." Ethan actually had no idea, but he had to speak clearly at this time.Otherwise, with 20+ panicked non-humans locked away in a closed space station, the panic could have devastating consequences.

Besides, he might not be right.He hoped he was wrong.

However, it turned out that his premonition was surprisingly accurate.

That mini space station is a spinning wheel-shaped building independent of the tenth space station, floating slowly in the vast ocean of stars.After they were sent into the mid-term, the spacecraft flew away. The entire space station had complete facilities, and there were also many service robots that should be there.The main computer is called "Lyme" and has a very peaceful baritone voice. As soon as it comes in, it prepares them a sumptuous meal.

Ethan, who was used to eating compressed bread, looked at the table full of roast goose, stew, thick soup, mashed potatoes, and even bottles of wine, feeling inexplicably ominous about eating his last meal.The other non-people cheered and whistled and sat down on both sides of the long table.They hadn't had any water or rice for a whole day and night, and they wolfed down one by one, stuffing things into their mouths non-stop.Probably because I am used to eating in the Forbidden City. If I don’t eat well within the specified time, I will probably be punished by the guards who are in a bad mood.

Just as the non-people were mouthfuls of food, a gray-haired expressionless face appeared on the wall, "Now the door is closed, and it will naturally reopen after the experiment is over. Someone will check with you every half an hour on the situation in the space station. You can use the equipment in the space station as you like, but no sabotage is allowed. Let me see who is deliberately destroying property, and I will be electrocuted into a vegetable. In addition, I don’t care if you fight or mate, no one is allowed to die. Otherwise, whoever made the mistake, I will make him sadder than death. Do you understand!"

Before the non-people had time to swallow what was in their mouths, they had no choice but to agree with Ulu Ulu.Gray Mao sneered contemptuously, and there was a little excitement in his eyes.He likes to watch these animal-like inhumans being treated as guinea pigs, especially when the other party can't figure out the situation.At this time, these animals often make unexpected and wonderful moves.

He especially wanted to see how the serious face of the man named Ethan twisted a little bit in fear.

He turned off the communicator and leaned back comfortably in the chair.On the big screen in front of him, twenty non-humans were still gobbling like pigs.That Ethan didn't eat, but looked around, and even looked in the direction of the camera for a while.

The abnormally green eyes of that non-human made him feel a strange impulse in his heart, a tyrannical impulse.

What a hideous pair of eyes.

A few soldiers who participated in the experiment chatted with him, asking what those non-humans usually do in the Forbidden City, is it true that they kill each other and drink blood every day like the rumors outside, Betas are treated as slaves, and Omegas are treated like prostitutes.Obviously these rumors are outrageously wrong, but Gray Mao has no intention of correcting them. He just pointed to Jiawen who was obviously sitting at the leader of the long table and said, "This person was also a soldier before, and he also participated in the Tiangang Expedition. After returning home, he found him Omega's father died for a long time due to a heart attack and was not found in time, while his Omega husband got together with his best friend before serving in the army, and secretly transferred the inheritance left by his father to his own Under the name of his concubine, he lost control of his emotions and took out the dagger he used in the army before, and stabbed it through the Omega's side." Gray Mao said, pointing to his eyeballs, "then put the His concubine was castrated and had his throat cut. He was covered in blood when he was caught and was still dismembering his Omega."

The two soldiers were dumbfounded and amazed.At this moment, the correspondent on the other side received a call request from the red earth, and the object of the request was Vasiliev.

Huimao connected to the video strangely, but saw that the one on the big screen was Priest Eve, who had visited the Forbidden City a few days ago.

"Corporal Vasiliev," the priest frowned slightly, with a serious expression, and asked straight to the point, "Did Ethan Eldridge be taken away by you?"

Gray Mao clenched his fists secretly, but he didn't expect that the green-eyed kid would still have friendship with the Eves.He replied dryly, "Yes. It's a decision from above."

There was a moment of anger and irritability in the priest's eyes, but before he could see clearly, the connection was cut off.Looking at the empty screen, Vasiliev became more and more angry. He snorted and asked impatiently, "Why hasn't it started yet?"

"One more minute." The operators had already taken their positions, and the mastermind began the final countdown.

But in the spinning wheel space station, non-people don't realize that the experiment is about to start.Just a sudden sensation of something passing through the body.

An inexplicable feeling, like electric current, or water waves.Everyone stopped eating, drinking and joking, and the air was eerily silent for a moment.

Ethan also froze, he smelled a slight change in the smell in the air, and a sour smell was added to the cold.The faint vibration of the air, accompanied by a tinnitus so familiar that his blood froze, was pushed heavily from all directions.

The space station looked the same as before, nothing had changed, but he just knew something wasn't quite right.

Is the swaying light of the entire space station a little bluer?Or is the ubiquitous cold a little deeper?Or... it seems that there are some double shadows on the corners of the wall?Are you dazzled?

Ethan took off his glasses, wiped them with his sleeves, and put them on again, but the double image still existed, giving people a feeling of dizziness.He looked back at the other inhumans, who were also clutching the table with their hands, blinking hard as if they were dizzy.

The tinnitus became more and more intense, and the floor shook like ripples. The strangest thing was that his body also shook along with it, making him dizzy.He hurriedly closed his eyes and held onto the wall beside him with his hands.The dizziness disappeared, but the tinnitus still existed, and even intensified.

Then all of a sudden, there was no sound, no tinnitus, everything fell silent.

Ethan opened his eyes and found that the other 19 companions were still there, but the table was full of food just now, but now all of them were gone.

Not even a bone, not a drop of soup was left.It's like those foods never existed.

The non-people were sitting at the table dumbfounded, their hands still holding the knives and forks, but the tableware had disappeared.

"What's going on...?" a non-human asked.Of course, no one could answer his question.

Ethan stretched out his hand and pointed to the top of his head.There is a transparent nano-steel plate, through the skylight, you can see the dreamy blue light of Neptune, but now, everyone opened their mouths unconsciously, showing expressions of shock and fear.

Where Neptune should have been, it was pitch black and there was nothing.

The author has something to say:

Some students are guessing whether B will change to O. However, according to my current setting, I don’t intend to change Ethan’s gender. He should always be B to the end.
