Falling into the Abyss

Being awakened in advance is not a good experience. Consciousness is like being firmly grasped by a sharp claw, forcibly torn out of the chaos of the dream. Dreams at the moment before awakening are usually extremely terrifying, and most of them have the theme of falling or drowning. Ethan dreamed that he was dragged into the deep sea by a huge eel with a terrifying appearance and no eyes. He inhaled the smelly sea water, poured into his lungs, and the alveoli burst one after another. When he woke up, he choked like a person about to suffocate, sucking in cold air, and his face was horrified.

His body was still wet, obviously the freezing liquid had just faded, and they hadn't even had time to heat up their bodies before they forced them out of sleep. He looked around blankly, and saw that Samuel next door was also leaning on the edge of the sleeping cabin and gasping for breath, his expression undecided. Not far away, other non-humans woke up one after another, and there were no medical robots waiting to check their physical condition around them.

Something is wrong, this is definitely not a normal wake-up procedure.

Ethan also noticed that the positions of Tanithel, the other two Eves, and the chief security officer were empty. His first reaction was that Tanithel had betrayed them, but then he thought about it, the three Eve men and the captain of the guard went to sleep earlier than them. Once they enter deep sleep, unless they are awakened by Diana, they will not be alive. It is impossible to wake up by yourself. They also did not have the opportunity to modify the sleep program. Derek set up complex encryption for his modified instructions, and kept checking repeatedly until the last second before going to bed.

Non-people are obviously still a little confused, but Derek has already rushed out of the sleeping cabin, rushed to the door of the sleeping hall, and entered a series of instructions on the key screen, but Diana's gentle voice sounded, "Sorry , Mr. Derek, I cannot let you out."

As soon as she said this, everyone was panicked. Samuel strode to Derek and heard the young man's composure voice saying, "Diana, I think we have reached a consensus on who your clients are."

"Indeed, in the absence of other senior commanders on the planet, you and VIP Eve are my clients. However, the surviving Sergeant Sofia Wafa has already contacted me. She asked me to wake up the Chief of Guard Rafa first. Sergeant El Schneider and the three VIP guests of Eve will wake you up after taking them away. Her spacecraft is now registered on the Magic Flute."

Non-people are like being eaten by thunder. I originally thought that the mother ship was empty because Entropy God had infected and absorbed everyone, but I didn't expect some people to survive.

"What?! Why didn't you report that there were survivors!"

"When the unknown incident happened, there were a total of about a hundred people leaving in small and medium-sized spacecraft, but they lacked supplies, had the ability to sail with curvature, had a small chance of survival, and had no contact with me, so I treated them like everyone else. Counted as a missing person." Diana answered smoothly and briskly, but every word made Derek want to be crazy. He kicked to the wall and scolded a series of swear words.

"Damn! This computer is too cunning, it's overshadowed by it!"

Whether it was really overcast by the computer is not known, Diana's logic is not wrong, but the sweet voice always gives people a sly illusion. Maybe it was afraid that Derek would actually invade her central program and kept it.

After all, artificial intelligence like Diana is too complicated. Even if it looks soft and obedient without a trace of error, there is no sign of losing control, but if you want to fully control it without detailed original code, it is simply as difficult as heaven. .

Samuel changed his face, and other non-humans also rushed forward, smashing the door with various heavy objects that could be picked up, and the scene was chaotic. In contrast, Ethan seemed unusually calm.

He had a hunch that they could not escape. It has really happened now, but there is a kind of steadfastness and panic like a stone falling to the ground.

It's just... there is still a little hope in his heart...

Will Tanisel intercede for him?

Although reason told him that this was just a hope that was too stupid, after all, what happened between them was just two people in need of comforting each other, and even Tanithel's comfort and care for him More. Who would help a criminal who is of no use value to him just because of a one-night stand?

But... I always say something... For example, when asked whether non-people embarrass him, maybe he would say something nice?

Diana's voice sounded again, "Sergeant Sophia Wafa asked to speak with you."

After speaking, before they responded, a not-so-beautiful but very determined female Beta face was projected on the circular wall. It was the commander of the special forces sent by the earth this time. She looked at them with cold and disgusting eyes, like a **** looking down on sinners, "We have now regained control of the Magic Flute. If I want to, I can order Diana to reactivate the shock collar around your neck. Electrically foam all of you, and then **** you back. I advise you to surrender immediately and do not make senseless resistance. Otherwise, not only will you be punished, but the moral value of your family will also be seriously affected. I give you Three minutes to think about it, and then I will open the door. Anyone who resists will be killed!"

The sound like a steel ball fell on the ground, and the image has been extinguished. She didn't even intend to hear any response from non-people.

The tendons near Samus’s temple bulged out clearly because of clenching his teeth too tightly. Jarvan’s mouth was full of **** curses. Will definitely be killed, the two camps are quarreling. Ethan only felt the buzzing noise in his ears, which shook his headache.

Samus suddenly yelled, "Shut up all of you!"

The scene suddenly became quiet.

"How many people are going to surrender?" he asked in a majestic voice.

Three people raised their hands, including Ethan and Derek. Samuel gave Derek a surprised look. The boy said, "I still have parents and brothers at home. I don't want my brother because his stupid brother can't get to a good university.

Now even Ethan is surprised. Since this kid can do things like experimenting with his own brother, how come he thinks about his brother's moral value at this time? "

Jarvan spit on the ground, "Huh, a bunch of gangsters!"

Ethan pushed his glasses, hesitated and said, "If we surrender, we will not necessarily be killed. After all, we are the only humans who have been in contact with Sab Nicholas on the red earth. Get more information. And, I believe the Eve people will speak for us."

Samuel glanced at him coldly, and if his eyes could turn into a knife, he might have been pierced by an arrow.

"Huh, what are you talking about? Say we threaten them if they dare to resist, we will tie them into zongzi like the captain of the guard, and sell them to pirates as slaves? Save it, how can those high-class people take us inhumane seriously You idiots without a backbone, anyway, I don't want to go back to that ghost place in the forbidden city anymore. I would rather be shot to death!" Jarvan retorted disdainfully.

Ethan smiled bitterly, "I really have no spine, because I am worried that my parents will suddenly be subtracted by 30 points from the moral court if they did nothing. The communication system is closely monitored and must go home and eat out before ten o'clock in the evening. They have to be searched. I don’t want them to be the kind of people who stare every day to find opportunities to report other people’s misconduct to earn moral value. It’s already unlucky to give birth to a son like me. I don’t want them to be outside. The world lives the same life as us!"

He said that, and Jarvan was speechless for a while. Chen Zeng smiled kindly at this time, and patted Ethan's sword on the shoulder, "The young man made a lot of sense. In order not to involve my supporters, I also agree to surrender."

Now only two people, Samuel and Jarvan, have not expressed their opinions. Ethan watched Samus continue to persuade, "Things may not be that bad, we can explain, but because the Magic Flute became an empty ship we tried to modify Diana's central order. We just wanted to The Three Empires used their Wormhole Information Communicator to send messages to the Earth Alliance. After all, the message from the mother ship will not be received on Earth until three years later. As for the Chief Guard, we can say that it is because he has signs of infection. I want to isolate him. Those people have also seen the terrible Shab Nicholas, and they might be afraid of the chief of guard, which is good for us."

After three minutes, apart from Jarvan's reluctance, they generally reached a consensus-surrender.

Everything after that was messy and logical. After the door opened, dozens of special forces soldiers with laser weapons swarmed up and hugged their hands behind them. No one spoke to them, and no one asked them anything. They were thrown directly on the cargo floor below the mother ship, shivering in the dim and cold air for two days.

During those two days, non-people seldom talked, and Ethan's mind flashed a lot of confused thoughts, and finally floated back to Sab Nicholas. It's really amazing. Some people on Earth had perceived the existence of these entropy gods hundreds of centuries ago, but they, advanced interstellar humans, knew nothing. He suddenly wondered, would it be a better choice to merge with the mother god?

At least during that brief contact, he didn't feel pain.

However, he chose to live, so he chose how many horrible "atonements" he would experience from now on, and the long years in the forbidden city.

Two days later, they were escorted into the sleeping hall again and locked in the sleeping cabin to prepare for a curvature flight. After this sleep, and then wake up, you will return to the forbidden city.

And he never saw Tanithel again until the Magic Flute landed on Earth again.
