Ethan returned to the apartment in a trance, always feeling that what happened ten minutes ago was too illusory and not very realistic.
Is this unreasonable? A priest of Eve is the least likely person to be in the Forbidden City, and he can't think of any reason why Taniser would come to the Forbidden City.
It's definitely not possible to just come to see him anyway.
Ethan laughed at himself, not paying attention to the look of utter despair when he walked into the house, which fell into the eyes of Samuel, who had come back one step before him. The latter's eyes were icy and cold, which could be described as an eye knife when he laughed at himself.
"Look at you." The sarcastic tone crept into his ears, and Ethan saw Samus squinting at him unhappily as he polished his shoes. Ethan asked, "Have you seen Tanisel too?"
"Who can see such a big movement."
"What did you say he came for?"
"None of my business."
Ethan was also a little irritated by him, "Hey, can't you talk well? Don't be like a gun barrel all day long."
Samuel threw away his boots and lit a cigarette. "Don't listen if you don't like it."
Ethan tilted his head and raised his eyebrows, "I said, every time I mention Tanisel, you are like this. The last time you beat someone, don't you like him?"
Samuel, who has been smoking for nearly ten years, was choking on the smoke for the first time. He coughed a few times and stared at Ethan threateningly, "Don't you fucking guess."
However, his fierce eyes had no effect on Ethan. Beta started talking to himself over there, "Yeah, this will explain why your temper was so bad before. I thought you had an endocrine disorder, but your estrus is coming recently, Symptoms shouldn't have appeared so early."
Samuel couldn't take it any longer, picked up the boots he had just polished on the ground, and threw them over.
It has been a week since Tanissell appeared in the Forbidden City, and every day Ethan walks on the road with some inexplicable hope in his heart, always feeling that he might meet the blond man at the next corner. This little bit of hope made his heavy and dirty work day after day less unbearable, and even his steps lightened a bit.
But in fact, Tanisel never showed up again. There are some rumors about him among the non-humans, saying that they are secretly cooperating with the Earth Alliance on an experiment, and they are likely to select people from the Forbidden City as experiments.
At the same time, another rumor about the red earth is also circulating quietly. Rumors have detailed but completely inaccurate vivid descriptions of the goddess of procreation on the red earth, as if everyone who spread the rumors had seen it with their own eyes. It is said that she is a hundred stories tall and bears countless tentacles. She likes to eat the victims and then turn them into strange creatures without consciousness. As her offspring, they are sometimes separated from her and sometimes merged with her. It is said that she will travel through the universe to the earth, because she is the other side of the God who created the universe, and his apostle, who came to devour the solar system that has completely abandoned faith, and then expand to every corner of the galaxy.
Ethan guessed that it was spread by Chen Zeng, but he didn't know what the Beta, who always seemed amiable and moderate, wanted to do. Does it make any sense to develop such doomsday in the Forbidden City
As for Taniser... He must have had permission from the government to appear in the Forbidden City. I don't know if this has anything to do with the inhuman punishments for them.
Samuel's estrus period is approaching, he still planned to use the inhibitor, but considering that long-term use of the inhibitor may have an impact on human health, after consulting with him, Ethan decided to use Ethan's estrus as his Alpha Samuel He is obliged to take care of him, so he can take three to four days off. The two began saving their daily rations weeks in advance, storing food and water under the bed, and locking themselves in the house for three days, no one knew who was in heat.
However, plans have not kept pace with the changes.
At breakfast one day, Ethan and several other inhuman numbers were read. He was sitting with Samuel for dinner at the time, and the names he had read were 240 and 250, but Ethan alone was read not only by the number, but also with the name.
Samuel's face changed slightly, Ethan just stood up, but he grabbed his wrist. "There is a problem. Usually, the number is read, unless someone is designated by the above or the chief of the guard."
Ethan smiled wryly, "Do you think I can't think of it, but I can't help but go? Besides, I won't necessarily be chosen, don't worry." He took two steps, turned his head to look at Samuel, and said seriously, "In case I If you don't come back, take care of yourself. It's not good, you can go to the clinic by pretending to be sick."
Samuel's thick brows furrowed, but he could only watch Beta's calm back drift away. The secretary's adaptability to the Forbidden City is amazingly strong. From the beginning of trembling, he can still laugh after being beaten. He is so calm even knowing there is a conspiracy, and he even comforts and warns him.
This is probably what Ethan looked like when he worked in the government.
This time, their truck was not picked up from outside the cafeteria, probably because the mission was not urgent, and non-people were asked to walk near the high wall on foot to listen to the mission. Dozens of inhumans lined up in a row, with silent robotic policemen in front and behind sliding slowly. Ethan noticed uncomfortably the tall and strong figure in front of him that was no less than Samuel's - Jarvan, he was Samuel's mortal enemy, and he had been pretending to be Samuel's Omega. It is inevitable that you will be harassed.
He could only pray now that it was Tanisel who named him.
However, when he saw the gray-haired Vasilev sitting comfortably in a chair and drinking coffee, he knew that he was completely disillusioned. It turned out that he was beaten by the guards before and assigned to work in the smelly drainage pipes, which was just a petty fight by this vengeful second-in-command.
I'm afraid this mission is the highlight...
The gray snake-like gloomy eyes swept over the non-people who were lined up in front of him, but they didn't look at Ethan clearly. But Ethan can smell a bit of malice.
But he still held a glimmer of fantasy, hoping that Tanissell would appear soon... Although he didn't know what was the use of his appearance, although he also knew that the possibility of this was almost zero.
The huge loudspeaker on the steel city wall suddenly made a harsh noise, and a male voice with a mechanical and metallic taste said, ""Atonement mission code name: Tianniu, score: five. "
Hearing that it was a five-point mission, Ethan was slightly relieved. However, the non-human around him didn't seem very happy, muttering, "It's a fucking five-point task, and it's hard work and not many points, it's not worth it."
"Mission content: Participate in the military test at the tenth space station. Departure time: Immediately."
The tenth space station, a space station located near the orbit of Neptune, is a military fortress, and the civilians living there are mostly military family members or handymen. There are many examples of non-human beings being used as objects in military experiments, and it is difficult to say how much the risk is.
Given so little information, Eason had a hard time inferring what the alleged experiment was.
After the broadcast, Gray Mao picked up his baton and stood up, and asked in a long voice, "We need twenty people, who wants to be a volunteer?"
Jia Wen and three or four other people stood up. The others looked at each other and bowed their heads silently. Gray Mao then turned the baton in his hand and began to walk in front of the rows of inhumans. Every few steps, he casually poked a person's chest with a police baton, and the person who was poked had no choice but to walk out with a sad face.
Ethan is actually a little surprised. It is understandable that there are not many volunteers with ten tasks, but why are there fewer people with five tasks
Just thinking that Gray Mao had already walked in front of him, his footsteps stopped slightly. Gray Mao pulled the brim of the police cap and said in a flat, hair-raising voice, "I said, don't let me find out that you're lying to me." Then, he poked his chest with a baton.
Ethan swallowed, his heart sinking to the bottom of his feet. His back was a little stiff, but he could only step out of the queue. He saw Jarvan looking at him, with some kind of defiant malice on his rough face, and the corner of his mouth grinned at him.
There are jackals in front and tigers behind. It is obviously a five-point mission, but why does it seem to be more dangerous than a ten-point mission? Eisenhower thought.
Maybe he should also learn from Chen Zeng's followers, praying and worshipping God, and turning his luck...
Like the last time, everyone was put on electric shock collars, and then a rudimentary spacecraft carried non-people on a short curvature flight, arriving near the tenth space station early the next morning. In the dark and endless universe, the huge icy blue planet occupies the entire field of vision, and three light blue rings like the Milky Way revolve slowly around the star 17 times the mass of the earth.
Because it is so far away from the sun that only a small part of the sunlight reaches it, everything looks dark and cold, but in this darkness there is a clear and brilliant star, which is a large circle of steel intertwined with each other. Although there is no spherical appearance, the artificial "planet" formed inside is no less than a quarter of the earth's living space.
Around the tenth space station, there are many cruising starships slowly passing through the dark sea of stars. Under the light of a faint blue sheen, their spaceship slowly drove into a raised dock door. The space behind the door is incomparably high and wide, and many small spaceships shuttle back and forth, like flies and birds.
The ship is anchored in a port suspended in mid-air, and a long bridge leads to giant gates in the high wall. As soon as they got off the boat, a chill that was so piercing to the bone instantly made all the inhumans shrank and cursed. This kind of cold is different from the one on Earth. It is a deadly coldness that penetrates every pore everywhere, as if even the heart was frozen in an instant.
Ethan found that his exhaled breath quickly formed into small snowflakes and scattered, hugged his body and huddled into a ball, and followed the other non-humans along with the gray fur in thick cold-proof clothing, crossed the long bridge and entered the towering ferry. door. There are many soldiers in thick flight suits coming and going. Although their faces are hidden by things such as scarves, masks, sunglasses and hats, they can still feel a lot of curious sights. Especially when some companions pass by them, they will make a vicious gesture of wiping their necks. If some timid non-humans show a shrinking expression, they will laugh.
Ethan bowed his head, although it had been so long since he entered the forbidden city, although he understood that many people's obvious expressions of disgust were actually just hope that his own condemnation of sinners could be seen by the ubiquitous monitoring, slightly increasing his moral value by a few tenths , but every time I encounter this kind of undisguised disgust, I still feel extremely ashamed and feel that maybe I should really be hanged. But another voice in my heart was indignant, thinking that as long as the so-called legal citizens were given the right opportunity, wouldn't they be able to brutally torture Omegas like Taifeng like the guards of the forbidden city
Before you know it, a corner of the space station has been spread out in front of you. It is clearly a space station in the shape of a ring, but it walks on the ground under the action of gravity. The earth in the distance slowly lifted up and turned upside down in the distant sky. Buildings and trees hung upside down, with misty clouds in between.
A transport spaceship took them to a military base, and all the non-humans were driven into an empty military dormitory. Although there were no bedding on the bunks, they all had a mattress, which made them sleep for a month. Hardboard's Ethan was moved to tears.
Gray Mao leaned against the door frame, chewing gum in his mouth, tapped the metal on the wall with a baton, and all the inhumans fell silent in an instant.
"Listen, the test will be carried out tomorrow. Your task is simple, just stay in an isolated mini space station and report what's going on inside the station when you need it until they let you out. Don't mess with me, I'm not Schneider, I don't have that much patience."
Ethan knew he shouldn't speak, but he couldn't help it. He needs to know what kind of revenge Grayfur has prepared for him, "Excuse me, what kind of experiment?"
Gray Mao's eyes slowly turned to him, the corners of his mouth slowly opened, and he smiled horribly.
"An experiment to send you to hell."
