interstellar man

All he could hear was the sound of running water.After walking for less than 5 minutes, he saw the light.Climbing up along the light, he found himself in a back alley across the street from his home.

No one lives in this alley. Many years ago, the houses here were transformed into factory buildings, and now these factory buildings have been abandoned and turned into old warehouses. Usually, no one comes here.

Hull had just climbed up and saw the sun again, and within a few steps, he heard a soldier in military uniform shouting at the terminal at the entrance of the alley, "Second Lieutenant, Dr. York is in the back alley!"

When the soldiers inside the house heard this, they immediately gave up entering the tunnel and rushed out of the door to block the back alley.The people who came had already prepared, knowing that York was a combat soldier and was good at fighting, so the superiors specially sent a small team to capture him and bring him back.Before arresting them, they also went through strict deployment, thinking that he might escape, so they arranged soldiers to intercept him at several adjacent alleys.

Hearing his father's name, Hull looked back and found that it was a young man in military uniform chasing them.The muscles of the young man's body are very well-proportioned, and his movements are not sloppy when running. It can be seen that he has received orthodox training.

At this moment, although Hull still didn't understand what was going on, he understood one thing.He turned around, looked at his father who was running beside him, and couldn't help asking, "Why did they arrest you?"

York didn't answer, but led him to flee while searching around with his eyes.

Seeing the pursuer getting closer and closer, Hull became more disturbed. He continued to ask him unwillingly: "Tell me? Why..."

Before Hull could finish speaking, York dragged him into an old warehouse, then with serious eyes, he told him seriously: "Stay here and don't go anywhere. Their target is me, if you don't go out, They won't do anything to you."

"Do you want me to watch my father being captured? You taught me my fighting skills. Now we rush out, defeat those people together, and escape together." Hull protested excitedly.

Afterwards, it was immediately rejected by York, "Don't be stupid, they are all soldiers who have been professionally trained by the military department, and it is impossible for the two of us to win."

Hull couldn't help asking again: "People from the military department, why did they arrest you?"

"Don't ask so many questions, there's no time!" While speaking, the footsteps of the pursuers got closer and closer.In desperation, York took out the needle and injected it directly into Hull's thigh while Hull was unprepared.

After a sharp pain, Hull only felt his whole body suddenly collapsed, unable to raise any strength, even struggling to maintain a standing posture.He still wanted to open his mouth to say something, but York immediately stuffed a piece of sackcloth into his mouth and blocked it.

York told him: "I injected you with a muscle relaxant, which lasts for an hour, so you just obediently wait here for an hour before leaving."

Five seconds later, he could no longer maintain a standing posture and collapsed weakly to the ground.

York squatted down, looked at Hull with some regret, and said: "I'm not here anymore, you have to take good care of yourself. And remember my words, stay away from the army, stay away from the capital, especially not close to the royal family. people..."

He still had a lot of words to say, but he swallowed them again.Then he heard footsteps getting closer, so he had no choice but to get up and quickly left the warehouse.

After York left, Hull struggled to support his body with his hands, and rubbed against the warehouse door bit by bit.When he moved slowly to the gate, he happened to see his father being arrested through the crack of the door.

He tried his best to push the two iron doors in front of him, but his hands, which had been given muscle relaxants, couldn't use his strength at all. He just supported his body and moved to the door, and he had exhausted all his strength.

At this moment, he could only watch his only relative being taken away by those soldiers through the crack of the door.The shield-like metal emblems worn on their collars and cuffs flickered in the sunlight, piercing Hale's eyes and hurting him.

When he closed his eyes, he felt pitch black, as if the night had come earlier.

Apply for military school

An hour later, the effects of the muscle relaxants wore off, and Hull straightened up and walked home with heavy steps.During this hour, he thought a lot back and forth, and the questions he thought about were nothing more than these three:

[-]. Who is the father?

[-]. Why did the army arrest him?

[-]. There is a secret passage at home, how many things are he hiding from him?

However, during the hour he was trapped in the warehouse, he never figured out these three big questions.After returning home, he first entered York's workshop, trying to find some clues.Then, he was surprised to find that his father's workshop had obviously been turned over.

Various reagents and bottles on the workbench were messed up, and some liquids were broken on the floor.The books on the bookshelves and the notes in the drawers were also torn apart by them, and the whole workshop seemed to have been swept away.

There is no doubt that this messy scene must have been done by the army just now.Thinking of this, the scene where the army gang captured Dad came to his eyes again, and the badge in the shape of a shield also flashed through his mind.

He immediately turned on the computer in the workplace and typed in "shield emblem". The search results were unbelievable for him, and his eyes were about to pop out of them in shock.

The coat of arms is the emblem of the Chile Royal Guard.

Now Hull was even more confused. Why did the Royal Guard arrest Dad?He vaguely heard that they seemed to call Dad "Dr. York."

PhD? !Are you high-end intellectuals or technicians who stand in front of the laboratory bench in white coats and do various research?Thinking of this, the slovenly appearance of York's father on weekdays can't help appearing in front of his eyes, completely contrary to his impression of the doctor's rigorous and intellectual image.

Since he was sensible, he knew that his father was a doctor by profession.But unlike other doctors, he did not go to the doctor's license examination, nor could he work in a regular hospital. He should be regarded as a "wild doctor" operating without a license.

District 17 is the poorest and most backward district in Chile, and there is only one central hospital in the whole city. Not only are the medical facilities outdated, but even the doctors are of limited skill, but the treatment fees are surprisingly high.

Therefore, when many people are sick, they will give up going to the central hospital for medical treatment, but choose to come to York for treatment.After so many years, everyone thinks that his medical skills are much better than those doctors in the central hospital, and more importantly, the treatment fee he charges is less than 1/3 of that of the central hospital.

Although everyone praised his medical skills, they generally thought that Dr. York was a bit strange.Compared with the vulgar and indifferent District 17 people, his behavior and demeanor are much more elegant.But if you say he is elegant, he also often appears in front of everyone in a sloppy appearance, not caring much about his image.

Since he moved here later, the nearby residents privately speculated that he probably had a poor family, and he might have been a nobleman originally.Only Hull knew that his father York often locked himself in the workshop for days and nights without eating or taking a bath.How is this not sloppy?

In the past, he didn't pay much attention to his father's affairs, thinking that tinkering with those test tubes, bottles and jars in front of the laboratory bench was just his hobby.Now it seems that it is not so simple.

Hull put together all the things discovered today, and after analysis, he came to the preliminary conclusion that the royal guards would arrest Dad, which must be related to his identity and the research he had done.And Dad obviously knew that someone wanted to arrest him, otherwise he wouldn't have dug a secret passage at home to escape in advance.

But he still can't find out the identity of his father for the time being, and he can't find anything after logging in to the computer and terminal.After he came back, he checked the workshop for a long time, but he couldn't understand what research his father was doing.

Hull gave up. With his unsightly IQ, he probably couldn't figure it out even if he tried his best.But seeing that the soldiers of the Royal Guard just captured Dad and took him away unharmed, Hull can judge that Dad's personal safety will not be a problem.As for the truth, only Dad himself knows!

A few hours ago, he had watched his father being taken away.Next, he will not sit still.He's going to save Dad from those soldiers again.

At present, the only clue Hull has is: Dad was captured by the Royal Guard.Then, if he wants to rescue York, he can only start with the royal guards first, and if he finds them, he will be able to find his father.

He was going to apply for the military academy and enter the Royal Guard.Anyway, if it wasn't for the presence of his father in this ghostly place, he wouldn't want to stay here long ago.Now even his only relative is gone, and he has nothing to miss.

When he thought of joining the army, he remembered the last words his father said to him, "Stay away from the army, stay away from the capital, especially those who can't get close to the royal family..."

In the past, whenever York said such nonsensical words to him, Hull felt that he was a mortal worrying too much.He is an untouchable in District 17, it is almost impossible to get to the capital, let alone someone who is close to the royal family!Even if he wanted to get close on purpose, how could a small person like him be able to get close to the lofty royal family casually?

Now, Dad was captured by the Royal Guards right in front of his eyes.This made him involuntarily think of his weird behaviors in the past. It seems that Dad knew that such a day would come, and the reason must be
