Falling into the Abyss

Ethan sat in the uncomfortable seat of the short-distance spacecraft, and adjusted his posture every once in a while to relieve a certain part that was still a little bloated. The distant galaxy stars outside the spacecraft window are like silver powder floating in the sky, even though their speed has surpassed the speed of light under the propulsion of the vanishing engine, those distant stars still seem to be motionless.

Ethan was in a good mood, although Gray Mao was rude to him, and when he got on the spacecraft, he just walked a few steps slowly. He wanted to look back at Tanisel in the distance and was kicked from behind, but None of this can affect his good mood. He gently touched the still aching tooth mark on his neck, and suddenly threw his fear of the future out of the sky.

However, he thought of such an old ballad: all goods things come toanend (all good things will eventually die), so in this joy, there is a touch of melancholy and worry. He remembered that he had been so happy after establishing a relationship with Roland, how did he know what fate was waiting for him at that time?

As soon as the spacecraft landed on the earth, Ethan was immediately taken over by two robotic policemen, and was then stuffed into a closed medium-sized aircraft. As soon as he was pushed into the cabin, he saw Jarvan and several other inhumans who had previously participated in missions on Neptune. A pair of eyes looked at him, and his good mood suddenly disappeared a lot, and he sat silently on the seat closest to the cabin door and buckled his seat belt.

They were sent directly to the Earth defense base on the moon. The group lined up and was driven to a small auditorium guarded by heavy soldiers, where they waited for more than an hour.

No one told them what to bring them here. Most of the guards were robot police. Ethan deliberately kept a distance from 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 there was no eye contact anymore. Other non-humans tried their best to treat him as non-existent. Only Jarvan walked towards where he was sitting, banging the one sitting next to him. position.

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

Ethan rolled his eyes and was too lazy to reply.

"Listen, I was on Neptune before...cough cough, I'm a little too uncomfortable." Jarvan said, pinching his nose, a little embarrassed on the face that is always irritable.

Ethan looked a little bit funny looking at him like this, "Are you apologizing to me?"

Jarvan glared at him, but Ethan at this moment didn't look scary at all. The secretary laughed as if seeing the new world, "This is really strange."

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

Ethan stopped talking, but the smile in the corner of his eyes still made Jarvan not be angry. He said angrily, "That kid Joe Samuel seems to have taken a fancy to the new Omega recently, see when you can be proud."

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

"Your Samuel has the smell of other Omegas on him recently. He obviously abandoned you to find someone else."

Ethan's phenotype changed slightly, and Samuel smelled of Omega...could it be that he was in heat?

Wrongly taking Ethan’s concerns as panic, Jarvan deliberately said in a triumphant contemptuous tone, "Do you think there will be an Alpha in the forbidden city that will treat you wholeheartedly? Especially if you still have trouble with that priest?" So he got up and left, and went to his circle of people. Several other gazes that looked like a joke followed, and obviously heard the rumors.

Only Ethan was secretly anxious, scolding that idiot for what dangerous things he did?

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

Ethan and Stanley are considered familiar, but he has never liked this person very much. Although he looks friendly, friendly, approachable and considerate and perfect, Ethan always finds this person unfathomable and unintelligible. Compared with him, he is more willing to work for the director. Although the gray-haired director is stern and rigid, and even a little uncomfortable, he is at least a reliable leader and has clear guidelines for his work.

Stanley saw Ethan sitting alone on the other side of the auditorium and nodded at him with a smile. Ethan couldn't help sitting up straight, and immediately noticed the gaze floating from the inhuman on the other side.

"All inhumans stand up!" a guard shouted from the side. The non-people had to get up one after another, standing stumblingly.

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

All the non-humans looked at Jarvan almost uniformly, but Jarvan pointed at Ethan casually, "He is yours, you can ask him."

The brightly-dressed officials and officers were suddenly compared to an inhumane, and they all showed an unpleasant expression. Ethan also felt very embarrassed, and gave Jarvan a stern look.

Stanley explained to everyone, "He was indeed from our Energy Bureau before. 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 Tanisir of Eve that kept talking with you, and Did someone get the space station back in time?"

"I said so."

"Please tell me more about the situation at the time. How close is your "almost"?"

Ethan naturally did not want to recall that moment of despair, but was ordered to say, "I remember when I opened my eyes and saw that one corner of the room was infected, and the whole room was thinking about that corner was tilted. , It’s like being stretched."

"The ground under your feet is also stretched?"

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

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

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

The previous researcher shook his head, "This is also something I don't understand. It is very likely... The law of the Second Universe is stronger than ours..."

The major general looked around again with cold eyes, "Did any of you have anything unusual after that?"

Everyone was silent. Ethan swallowed secretly.

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

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

Never let people know that there is a problem with his blood...

However, I suddenly saw Adam trembling and raising his left hand, "That... I sometimes feel a little weird."

All eyes were immediately focused on the poor Omega. The major general asked, "Weird? Where is it?"

"My skin... sometimes sticks to other things..." Adam said, and took out the right hand he had been hiding from his pocket, and everyone immediately took a breath.

It was not a hand anymore, a thin flesh-colored film spread from the wrist, and a small plastic water cup was faintly visible inside.

**********

Ethan and others were not really undergoing a thorough physical examination, but roughly scanned a circle with the scanner, because obviously everyone's attention was focused on Adam, who was obviously mutated. Except for Adam, who was under quarantine for observation, the other non-human beings were immediately sent back to the forbidden city and landed on the familiar yellow sand empty space before nightfall.

Ethan dragged his exhausted body back to his apartment, and when the door opened, a distinct smell of Omega hormone 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 house. He grabbed the door, but didn't dare to shout loudly in the corridor, so he had to look everywhere next to the toilet on the floor. However, the whole building was searched and found nothing. As he was lingering on the first floor, an imperceptible smell caught his sensitive nose. He turned his attention to the basement entrance hidden behind the stairs and a mess of messy furniture that had been locked with a simple traditional padlock.

Ethan approached the rusty door that seemed to have been closed for at least a hundred years, only to find that the rust on the lock was obviously less than other places, and it was very clean. It seemed to have been passive not long ago.

Ethan picked up the lock and pulled it hard, but found it couldn't move. He gritted his teeth and tightened the lock ring again, and unexpectedly, it opened just like that.

It seems that this lock is actually just a decoration, but no one thought of moving it and hung it here for so long. If it weren't for Ethan's nose that ordinary people can't reach, he wouldn't have nothing to study this dead door hidden behind the stairs.

The rusty door was indeed pushed open recently, and it opened easily. The musky scent of Omega becomes more obvious as soon as I enter it, but this smell...seems to be a little different from the smell of Samuel that Ethan smelled last time?

Behind the door is a dark and opaque passage, but a faint light is revealed under the door of a room at the end. Ethan fumbled over and opened the door gently.

He was stunned.

He had imagined various possibilities, but there was absolutely no such thing in front of him.

He did see Samuel, but there was another person besides Samuel.

The man was lying under Samus.

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

The author has something to say:

Tomorrow may be a long-distance bus to take a small vacation, so it is likely to stop for another day, I hope you can be gentle when you call me...... (～￣▽￣)～
