Walk alone in the abyss

When the research ship of Renhui—the blue ship with a whale-like shape and a length of 600 meters—appeared in front of his eyes, the shock to Yang Ming was still indescribable.

Although in the "Abyss" game, as long as you go to the deep space port for a while, you can get a similar visual experience.

But this sense of reality, as well as the sense of oppression brought by the hull, are completely incomparable to the simulated nerve signals produced by the holographic equipment.

Several small drones left the mothership and flew towards the landing craft where Yang Ming and Dr. Lina were.

As if seeing Yang Ming's nervousness, Dr. Lina stretched out her hand proactively, covering the back of Yang Ming's hand with her warm and soft palm, leaning forward with her slender body, making head to ear contact with Yang Ming.

"Hendon, don't say anything to them, I will find a way to help you."

Yang Ming frowned and looked at Lina who was close at hand.

He thought there would be a wet kiss.

Dr. Lina continued to whisper in his ear: "I have a doctor's license recognized by Interstellar, and I'm only a ship's doctor serving the crew. In the general principles of Interstellar, there is a clause that the doctor is not guilty."

"Yes," Yang Ming nodded.

His eyebrows twitched slightly, he hesitated to speak, but he still said: "I should be detained by them. If you can get free, I may need some medicine."

Yang Ming was referring to the gene stabilizer.

"Don't worry, Hanton, I understand what you need. What you need to do now is to protect yourself. I know you have depression."

Lina signaled Yang Ming to keep silent, then resumed her normal sitting posture, pulled the seat belt and buckled it firmly.

——Now their ships have been monitored by Human Council.

Yang Ming followed suit and fastened his seat belt.

He thought, if he could fasten the seat belt casually before, maybe he could have avoided the impact injury just now, so that Lina would not find out the fact that he had been modified.

However, isn't Dr. Lina's reaction a bit weird?

She was too calm.

The four drones approached slowly, scanning Yang Ming and Lina with rays one after another, probably doing inspections.

Only then did Yang Ming have a chance to soothe his tense nerves, and stared blankly at the operation panel of the landing craft.

Every detail here reminds Yang Ming that he is Hanton now.

As soon as he was free, Yang Ming unconsciously began to think about the following questions:

The truth of the game "Abyss";

why the earth will be destroyed;

Have you changed the future?

If the tragedy of the earth explosion has been changed, then he will naturally not be destroyed by the earth fire, and he will not be resurrected on the research ship... This seems to be a time paradox.

The key to unraveling all the mysteries is to find a certain connection between the world you are in at the moment and the game "Abyss".

This proposition is somewhat complicated, Yang Ming soon felt very headache.

What is certain now is that he has changed a little bit.

The scientific research ship is gone, and the epic copy of the 30th-level team of the imperial camp "The Lost Voice" no longer exists;

Kigrove, who was supposed to transform himself, chose to transform Captain Hanton, and then Kigrove detonated the antimatter bomb, making everything return to nothingness.

Where did the changes begin?

Yang Ming felt that he should have said those two sentences after he ran to the bridge and after the Valkyrie was knocked down by the hypnotic gas.

That was the turning point of everything.

Inexplicably, Yang Ming remembered some details of the battle with the Valkyrie.

"She's wearing a patterned bra."

Yang Ming murmured in a low voice.

Under the yukata made of combat uniform, the Valkyrie wore a delicate and fitted ultra-thin bra.

"What?" Dr. Lina felt that she had heard wrong.

"It's nothing." Yang Ming smiled, his eyes were a little sad, and then he returned to normal, "I'm feeling a tragedy that happened on the scientific research ship."

Boom, boom, boom, boom.

As if someone was knocking on the door, four drones were attached to the left and right of the landing craft.

The screen in front of Yang Ming turned off by itself, and the only remaining auxiliary correction engine of the landing craft was turned off, hijacked by these four drones, and flew towards the side deck of the survey ship.

Without the light pollution from the instrument dials in the cabin, the universe becomes deeper and the stars are brighter.

Yang Ming was silently in a daze, a soft palm was placed on the back of his hand again.

Lina's gentle voice recited a poem:

"Don't deny the breeze from the stars.

"She will send us to a new world.

"Don't say no to the creases that appear with a vacuum.

"That is the guidance left by the ancestors for you and me..."

Yang Ming smiled and slowly closed his eyes.

He didn't know what the road ahead was, but now he had to go on.

"Oh, Emperor Star," Lina said in a low voice suddenly, "I seem to have caused trouble. I attracted this survey ship, which exposed the location of the two escape boats..."

Yang Ming blinked: "The survey ship captured us by itself."

Lina turned her head to look at Yang Ming, as if she wanted to confirm something.

A few seconds later, she nodded slightly, and said with some anxiety: "Yes, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with us."

Yang Ming held her right hand back and rubbed it gently.

"Relax, Lina, there will be no problems."

Lina took a few deep breaths and smiled gratefully at Yang Ming.

Now they have a handle on each other.

The landing craft slowly approached the blue spaceship, and the square entrance was opened on the side deck, with a faint guiding light shining inside.

The four drones constantly adjusted their angles, allowing the landing ship to slide into the hull smoothly; the outer cabin was slowly closed, and the quiet universe was once again left behind.

The outer cabin began to inject air, increase the pressure, and the field force simulated gravity, and the four drones that had completed their missions left on their own.

A group of men and women in white combat uniforms surrounded them, holding laser guns of different colors.

Yang Ming put the lightsaber and light shield gloves under the seat, and raised his hands at the same time as Lina.

At this time, a thought flashed across Yang Ming's mind, but as soon as this thought appeared, he was strangled by him.

‘How long will it take to capture this spaceship? '

Yang Ming, the sub-ancient life form of the ancient gods, the replacement of Hanton, the young man on Earth, just thought so.

...

The human guards are very polite.

Yang Ming didn't feel even a little bit of disrespect.

The 'scissor door' of the landing craft slowly opened, Yang Ming got out of the cabin, turned around and helped Dr. Lina out.

The surrounding guards did nothing.

A middle-aged man took off his tactical helmet, revealing his slightly curly light golden hair, handsome and resolute face, and nodded to Yang Ming.

"Please tell us your identities!"

"My name is Hanton." Yang Ming looked down at the military uniform on his body, "From the Sherman Empire, this is Lina, the doctor on board of our scientific research ship."

"Okay Mr. Hunton," the middle-aged man asked, "did you have any accidents?"

"Yes, the spaceship exploded," Yang Ming shrugged, "I can't say much else."

"Oh, what a tragedy!"

The middle-aged man showed sincere regret and sadness.

"If this accident is due to our pursuit of you, then we have also shouldered a sin. Please forgive our dedication to safeguarding human rights. Are there other escaped ships? We will provide assistance to them as soon as possible."

Several question marks popped up in Yang Ming's heart.

People care...is it so easy to talk?

"However, Mr. Hunton, and this venerable doctor."

The middle-aged man said:

"We must temporarily isolate you, and interrogation will follow.

"We are convinced that the research ship you were originally on was conducting extremely dangerous and unethical scientific and biochemical experiments.

"During the interrogation process, if we violated your basic rights, you can protest to us at any time, and we will decide whether to correct our behavior through discussion.

"Don't worry, you're saved."

"Thank you for your rescue," Yang Ming replied in a low voice, but there was a murmur in his heart.

A few minutes later.

Surrounded by the guards, Yang Ming and Lina walked through several silver-white corridors and arrived at a spacious cabin.

Dozens of inverted trapezoidal transparent glass houses are arranged in a square formation.

These glass rooms should be the 'cages' on the investigation ship. The conditions inside are very good, with a double sofa, a suspended entertainment screen, a full wireless signal, and an incubator full of drinks and food.

Even, you can choose inside to make the glass on all sides opaque.

The leading middle-aged man asked politely: "Do you two want to stay together, or do you need to avoid suspicion?"

"We need to be together!"

Dr. Lina spoke nervously.

"Please choose your isolation room, do you have any lucky numbers?"

"Just this one, the nearest one," Yang Ming casually found what should be "a" glass room, and Dr. Lina followed immediately.

Soon, the door of the glass room closed, and four soldiers stood at the four corners with guns.

Yang Ming sat on the soft sofa, looking at the ordering interface that popped up in front of him, for a moment... for a moment, he didn't know how to describe it.

Is this the cell of the Human Rights and Ethics Commission of Inquiry?

Awesome, love it.

Yang Ming ordered two cups of coffee, lay comfortably on the sofa, and began to recall the information he had obtained while playing "The Abyss", and searched for the introduction about the Human Society in Hanton's memory.

The Council of Human Rights is a neutral organization affiliated with the interstellar court, and is not directly bound by any interstellar regime. It enjoys a high reputation in the galaxy, and it is a very troublesome existence for regional overlords like the Sherman Empire.

The Human Council advocates the protection of the individual.

If it fell into the hands of the Human Council, the worst result would be to be sent to the interstellar court. ——The interstellar court is an institution jointly established by more than one hundred interstellar regimes.

It is Kigrov who is really afraid of the Human Council, and the Human Council can shut down his experiments.

Thinking about this, Yang Ming's sitting posture immediately became more relaxed.

Yang Ming realized that there was a high probability that he would be taken back by the Sherman Empire in the future;

If the news of his successful transformation spreads, the Sherman Empire will become his biggest threat next.

Will he be approved for research?

Or will it be dealt with secretly?

Yang Ming calmly analyzed all kinds of possibilities. He felt that he might not have been exposed. Those who left before the battle in the tail cabin probably didn't know about the temporary experiments in the backup laboratory.

Lina was pacing constantly, feeling a little anxious.

Dr. Lina was right to worry, the investigation ship of the Human Council found the other two escape boats without any effort.

Soon, survivors who escaped from the scientific research ship gathered in a dozen nearby glass rooms.

There are more than 40 crew members, more than 20 researchers involved in genetic experiments, more than 20 cleaners and cooks, and more than a dozen wounded imperial soldiers.

Soldiers and researchers became the focus of attention.

When Yang Ming saw Mistress No. 1, she was also watching Yang Ming affectionately, her eyes filled with the emotion of the rest of her life after the catastrophe.

This made Yang Ming have a wonderful expectation for the future.

Soon, the middle-aged man who 'received' Yang Ming before, and a group of more than a dozen middle-aged and elderly humans and human-like intelligent life forms in uniforms of the Human Council stood near the hatch.

"Now, the person with the highest position and military rank among you is invited to come forward and accept our interrogation."

Survivors of the scientific research ship, you look at me, and I look at you.

A crew member replied in a low voice: "Now the highest position should be the only third officer on our ship. He can represent us."

Yang Ming's expression froze a bit.

"Very good, who is the third officer?"

The soldiers, crew, researchers, cleaners, and cooks of the empire all remained silent, speaking at this time was tantamount to betraying Hanton.

"He, he is," Mistress No. 1 pointed to the glass room where Yang Ming was, "His name is Hanton, and he is also Professor Kigrove's confidant."
