Falling into the Abyss

Ethan sat in the uncomfortable seat of the short-distance spacecraft, and adjusted his sitting posture every once in a while to relieve a certain part that still felt a little swollen.The starlight of the distant Milky Way outside the window of the spacecraft is like silver powder floating in the sky. Even though their speed has exceeded the speed of light under the propulsion of the devegetation engine, those distant stars still seem to remain motionless.

Ethan was in a good mood, although Gray Mao was rude to him, and when he was asked to board the spaceship, he just walked a few steps slower and wanted to look back at Tanisel in the distance, but he was kicked from behind, but None of these can affect his good mood.He lightly touched the still aching tooth marks on his neck, and suddenly threw away all his fears about the future.

However, he thought of such an ancient ballad: all good things come to an end (all good things come to an end), so he felt a little melancholy and worry amidst the joy.He remembered that he had been so happy after establishing a relationship with Roland. How did he know what kind of fate was waiting for him at that time?

As soon as the spaceship landed on the earth, Ethan was immediately taken over by two robot policemen, and then stuffed into a closed medium-sized aircraft.As soon as they were pushed into the cabin, they saw Jiawen and several other non-humans who had participated in missions on Neptune before.Pairs of eyes looked at him, and his good mood immediately diminished a lot. Without saying a word, he sat down on the seat closest to the hatch and buckled up his seat belt.

They were sent directly to Earth's defense base on the moon.A group of people lined up and were driven into a small auditorium heavily guarded by soldiers, where they waited for more than an hour.

No one told them what they were brought here for, and most of their guards were robot police.Ethan deliberately kept a distance from the other inhumans, pulling up his collar to cover the bite marks on his neck.

Adam looked at him once with some kind of cold eyes, and then there was no more eye contact, and the other non-humans tried their best to pretend that he didn't exist, only Jiawen walked towards his seat, and slammed the person sitting next to him. Location.

"I heard that you were taken away by that alien priest again?"

Ethan rolled his eyes, too lazy to answer.

"Listen, I was on Neptune before...cough cough, I was a little too restless." Jiawen said, pinching his nose, his face that was always calm and pretentious was a little embarrassed.

Ethan felt a little interesting looking at him like this, "Are you apologizing to me?"

Jiawen glared at him, but Ethan didn't look scary at all at this moment.The secretary smiled lowly as if seeing a new continent, "This is really strange."

"Hey Omega, don't push your nose to your face." The other party said in a threatening voice.

Ethan didn't speak anymore, but the smile in the corner of his eyes still made Jiawen angry.He said angrily, "Joe Samuel seems to have taken a fancy to the new Omega recently, let's see how long you can be proud of it."

Ethan was taken aback, slightly surprised, "What?"

"Your Samuel has been smelling of other Omega lately, apparently abandoned you and went to find someone else."

Ethan's phenotype changed slightly, and the smell of Omega appeared on Samuel's body... Could it be that he was about to go into heat?

Mistaking Ethan's worry for panic, Jiawen deliberately said in a triumphant and contemptuous tone, "Do you really think that there is really an Alpha in the Forbidden City who is devoted to you? Especially because you are still confused with that priest?" Then he got up and left, and went among his circle of people.A few other eyes that seemed to be watching a joke followed suit, obviously hearing the rumors.

Only Ethan was secretly anxious, scolding that idiot for what dangerous thing he had done?

After a long time, a few people in neat suits and two high-ranking officers finally showed up.Ethan saw the middle-aged blond man in the beige suit at a glance.That was Stanley Dixon, the former deputy director of the Bureau of Energy.

Ethan and Stanley are considered familiar, but he has never liked this person very much.Although he looks friendly, approachable, and considerate and perfect in dealing with others, Ethan always feels that this person is unfathomable and incomprehensible.Compared with him, he is more willing to work for the director. Although the gray-haired director is strict and rigid, and even a little unreasonable, at least he is a reliable leader and has clear principles for his work.

Stanley saw Ethan sitting alone on the other side of the auditorium at a glance, and nodded to him with a smile.Ethan couldn't help but sit up straight, and immediately noticed the gaze from the non-human on the other side.

"All non-humans stand up!" A guard shouted from the side.The non-people had no choice but to get up one after another, standing staggeringly.

A middle-aged man in his forties wearing a major general's epaulettes said in a cold and emotionless voice, "You can elect a representative to answer the call, and if you need to add something, raise your hand to speak."

All the non-humans looked at Jiawen almost unanimously, but Jiawen pointed at Ethan casually, "He belongs to you, you can ask him."

Those brightly dressed officers and officers were suddenly compared to a non-human being, and they all obviously showed displeasure.Ethan also felt very embarrassed, and gave Jiawen a hard look.

Stanley explained to everyone, "He used to be from our Energy Bureau. His name is Ethan Eldridge."

"Okay. Eldridge, in your previous report, you mentioned that you thought you would be swallowed by the second universe soon. It was the priest of Tanithel from Eve who kept talking to you, and Order someone to pull the space station back in time?"

"I said so."

"Please tell me more about the situation at that time. How close do you mean 'nearly'?"

Ethan naturally didn't want to recall that moment of despair, but he had to say, "I remember opening my eyes and seeing that a corner of the room was already infected, and the whole room was thinking about that corner." , as if being stretched."

"The ground under your feet is also stretched?"

Ethan thought about it carefully, "It seems to be, I'm not 100% sure."

Another official whispered, "This shows that the law of the second universe has completely broken the barrier at that time, and it has almost spread to the entire space station. Pulling it back at this time is equivalent to forcibly pulling something belonging to the second universe." Come back, it is very likely that there will be a space-time gap, causing the mutual fusion infection of different space-time universes."

"Just why don't the laws of our universe work against infection?" asked another.

The former researcher shook his head, "This is what I don't understand. It is very likely... that the laws of the second universe are stronger than ours..."

The major general looked around again with a cold gaze, "Did any of you have any abnormalities after that?"

Everyone was silent.Ethan swallowed secretly.

"Don't talk? It doesn't matter, I will take you to a medical examination later."

Ethan panicked when he heard the word physical examination. Although the expression on his face was well controlled, his palms were already sweating.

Never let people know that there is something wrong with his blood...

However, at this moment, I suddenly saw Adam tremblingly raising his left hand, "Well... sometimes I feel a little weird."

All eyes immediately focused on that poor Omega.The major general asked, "Strange? Where is the blame?"

"My skin... sometimes sticks to other things..." Adam said, and took out his right hand that he had been hiding all along from his pocket, and everyone immediately gasped.

It was no longer a hand, a thin, flesh-colored film spread from the wrist, and a small plastic water cup could be vaguely seen wrapped in it.

**********

Ethan and the others didn't have a thorough physical examination, they just roughly scanned around with a scanner, because apparently everyone's attention was focused on the obviously mutated Adam.Except for Adam who was isolated and observed, the other inhumans were immediately sent back to the Forbidden City, and landed on the familiar yellow sand clearing before nightfall.

Ethan dragged his exhausted body back to his apartment, and when he opened the door, a strong smell of Omega hormones hit his face.His first reaction was: It's over, Samuel is in heat.

However, he panicked even more when he found that there was no one in the room.He rushed out the door, but he didn't dare to shout loudly in the corridor, so he had to look around for the toilet on the next floor.However, the entire building was searched and nothing was found.While he was wandering on the first floor, an imperceptible smell caught his sensitive nose.He turned his attention to the basement entrance, which had been locked with a crude traditional padlock, hidden behind a staircase and an assortment of rotten furniture.

Ethan approached the rusty door that seemed to have been closed for at least 100 years, but found that the lock was obviously less rusted than other places, and it was very clean, as if it had been touched not long ago.

Ethan picked up the lock and tugged hard, but found that it couldn't be pulled.He gritted his teeth and tightened the lock ring and gave it another tug. To his surprise, it opened just like that.

It seems that this lock is actually just a decoration, but no one thought to touch it and it has been hanging here for so long.If it weren't for Ethan's nose, which ordinary people can't reach, he wouldn't be idle to study this dead door hidden behind the stairs.

The rusty door had indeed been pushed open recently, and it opened easily.The musky smell of Omega became even more obvious as soon as he entered, but this smell... seems to be a little different from the Samuel smell that Ethan smelled last time?

Behind the door is a dark and lightless passage, but a faint light is revealed under a door at the end.Ethan groped and walked over, and gently opened the door.

He was stunned.

He imagined all kinds of possibilities, but there was absolutely no such thing as the one in front of him.

He did see Samuel, but there was someone else besides Samuel.

The man was lying under Samuel.

That person... is the chief of the guard? !

The author has something to say:

Tomorrow I may have to drive a long-distance car to take a short vacation, so I may stop for another day. I hope everyone can be gentle when hitting me... (～￣▽￣)～
