Advent

【Discovered...】

Raymond... No, it should be said, the White Emperor thought quietly.

Just as Dr. Duran leaned forward, stared at his projection screen with a pale face, and kept checking the identity and background of the two completely unfamiliar medical officers in the system, several slender and transparent tentacles were slowly The ground protruded from behind Dr. Duran.The complex, slender and dexterous receptors at the top of the tentacles monitor Duran all the time, recording everything Duran feels at this moment, his fear, and his forced composure.

【so troublesome. 】

Across the corridor a few hundred meters away, under the surveillance of soldiers with live ammunition and guard robots.

Raymond Morecambe was sitting quietly on his hospital bed in a quiet posture that surprised the other medical officers.

"What's the matter with him? I heard Alan Morecambe can't come today. Why is he so calm?"

In the medical station across the wall, the medical officer on duty asked his companion in confusion.

Under the influence of the monitor, Raymond Morecambe's face was expressionless, and he looked as if he were in a daze.

"Who knows...Really, what are the people above thinking? What is it called to suspend Alan Morecambe's medical companionship due to special circumstances? Do they know how terrible it is for Colonel Raymond to go crazy..."

Another medical officer would glance at the surveillance screen from time to time, thinking of the order he received today, and his tone was particularly heavy.

"However, at least now he seems to be quite quiet, God bless, I hope he can always maintain such a stable mood..."

The Emperor Bai could clearly hear whispers deliberately suppressed by humans not far away, but he did not respond.

In fact, he is as quiet as a fleshy statue right now.

Unless someone could boldly approach him and stare carefully at his eyes, he would find that there was a pair of inhuman horizontal pupils inlaid in the pupils of the Bai Emperor who seemed to be normal.

This also makes it somewhat strangely similar to an octopus or a goat on Earth.

It's just that, whether it's an octopus or a goat... It's impossible for the White Emperor to manipulate countless separated tentacles and parts through the connection between his body.

In the medical department, Dulan seemed to have realized something. He called his assistant over with a livid face, and then sent a series of application instructions to the "grandmother" at the military base...

According to the Bai Emperor's instinct, he could easily let his tentacles directly kill the low-level male human named Duran.He knew that the man was dissatisfied with his Allen, and Allen had never liked that man. .

The only problem may be that after such a long period of practice, Emperor Bai's thinking habits are now infinitely close to those of a real human being. For example, now he has learned to take into account the impact and consequences of things.

The secret meeting of the Security Bureau between Mark Dom, Rafael, Sakhir and Duran had already installed many protection and security measures when it was held, but this could not prevent the Bai Emperor from prying at all.

After all, at this time, his body has almost occupied the internal pipeline of the entire base, and he is everywhere and at all times.

It was precisely because of this... The Emperor Bai had already sensed the doubts that those few humans had towards him right away.

Oh, the White Emperor is not afraid of confronting humans, but——

"Ellen."

The Bai Emperor sat on his hospital bed, his lips parted slightly, reciting the name.

Just like that, he could feel a sweet throbbing in his heart.

If it is said that when He was listening to that person's voice in the far side of the universe, His feelings for Allen were limited to gratitude and admiration, then when He came to the human world and absorbed Raymond's brain, this kind of Emotion has completely evolved into a more personal, fierce emotion, but so strong that it is completely unstoppable.

In human language... probably infatuation or, say, love.

But it is precisely because of loving each other that even the most vicious, unique and tyrannical existence in the Naga race, the White Emperor has now learned to be scruples.

Thinking of this, Emperor Bai lowered his eyes to hide the haze in his eyes, as well as that cold and evil gaze...

"Not yet."

Emperor Bai said to himself.

Now He has not fully recovered, and there is no way for his tentacles to completely replace all the individuals in the entire Tianmao human military base.

(Of course, in an emergency, He can also do this forcibly, but maintaining the operation of the entire base requires a lot of unique human knowledge and memory. Once the operation is wrong, it may lead to the destruction of the entire human military base. In Allen On the premise of still living in this military base, but the emperor did not intend to take this risk.)

So, all he can do now is continue to hypnotize the low-level mammal named Duran.

In the ward, Emperor Bai slowly closed his eyes.

……

"Medical officer k122, number A22..."

In the bright and busy medical department, a senior assistant in a white coat hurried across the crowd, and then came to a treatment table. He looked at the nameplates on the chests of the two medical officers near the treatment table and confirmed it.

"Dr. Duran wants to see you..."

He said to the two expressionless medical officers.

"..."

The two medical officers didn't take any action at the beginning, their dark eyes just looked straight at the human in front of them, like two bionics that haven't activated yet.

And the nameplates on their chests should actually be made of metal, with their names printed on them.

But now, there are only two very sloppy numbers in there - which should make the assistant feel strange and strange, but at this time the assistant takes everything for granted.

"Dr. Duran wants to see you right now."

He repeated it.

Until this time, the two medical officers slowly started to move.

They didn't say a word, but followed the assistant towards Duran's office at exactly the same pace.

The assistant did not follow them into the office. According to Duran's previous instructions, the assistant tightly hugged the folder on his chest, and then ordered.

"Dr. Duran intends to see you alone...good luck to both of you."

As his words fell, the metal door slowly slid open.

Perhaps it was because of some special program being run, or Dr. Duran was doing some experiments. At this moment, Dr. Duran's office was horribly dark, and he could only see a few flickering dots of light indistinctly. I don't know the furnishings inside.

"Come in."

Far away, Duran said to the two of them at the door.

The two medical officers looked at each other, and then walked in step by step while maintaining their previous indifferent state.

And the moment they entered the office, the metal door suddenly closed at a completely abnormal speed.

The dazzling, bright high-brightness lights suddenly pierced the darkness.

All the office equipment and test benches in Dr. Duran's office had been removed by the planning robot a few hours ago, and it had undergone a fairly straightforward internal transformation.

Now, there is no sign of any office here at all.In fact, it is now a small high-level prison.

When the two medical officers took the initiative to step here, they were already under strict control.

There was nothing in the empty room except lights, and what made Duran's voice before was just a loudspeaker on the wall.

But the medical officer still didn't show the slightest change in his emotions about his new situation. They immediately stopped all movements and stood quietly in the center of the room.

At the same time, a buzzing sound suddenly came from the metal wall, indicating that the high-voltage current had been connected.

If it was an ordinary person, they should be nervous or alert at this time anyway, but the two medical officers turned around abruptly, looking straight through the seemingly smooth silver metal wall in the room.

On that wall, there is a concealed observation window.

Dr. Duran was standing behind the one-way observation window with a pale face, staring at the two medical officers who had been sealed off.

When the two medical officers suddenly looked at him, he couldn't help taking a few steps back.

Even though he was trying to maintain calm, anyone could see that Dr. Duran was in a state of tension at this time.

Beside him, Alder, the titular superior of the two medical officers and Duran's right-hand man, stood.

It was completely different from Duran's state. At this time, Alder just looked at the two people in the field in confusion, and then turned his head to look at Duran on the other side of the room.

Alder's expression was extremely complicated.

"Dr. Duran, is this going too far? If you think these two medical officers are suspicious, we can use internal investigation measures...instead of putting our own employees in this kind of place. Please, These people are not alien worms dug out of some mines. If they accidentally touch those facilities by mistake, we may get into big trouble. If the Outer Space Workers Union knows, it must be like seeing flesh and blood Cling to it like a fly..."

After a while, Alder plucked up his courage and murmured to Duran.

Hearing his words, Duran's lips trembled slightly, and he looked at Alder in shock with a particularly strange look.

Although he had already noticed it a long time ago, when Duran saw his assistant Alder's appearance without realizing that something was wrong, Duran still felt the hairs on his back.

"Don't you realize that these two people are not our people at all?"

With a hint of foolish hope, Duran suggested.

Now, Alder looked at Duran even more strangely.

"Um, sorry, doctor, are you kidding me? The two of them have been following you since they were still in the Central District..."

"The two of them just—oh, damn—"

Just as Duran was about to speak, he glimpsed the observation window out of the corner of his eye.The image reflected in the window startled him, and he immediately cursed several consecutive swear words.

In just a short moment of his conversation with Alder, the two medical officers have come straight to the observation window, their faces are very close at hand, and their dark eyes are so accurately aimed at Duran, as if... …

It was as if they could see Duran directly through a one-way mirror.

An indescribable sense of horror struck instantly, and Duran's heartbeat became more intense.

For a moment, Dulan even felt that these two people could directly break through the high-voltage power grid and this extremely strong synthetic material one-way mirror, and break through to this temporarily isolated observation room.

The second that Duran stared at the two medical officers dumbfounded——

strange markings...

Gorgeous luster...

The two medical officers once again showed characteristics that humans would never have.

"you……"

The moment he saw those markings, Duran's eyes became uncontrollably distracted.

Even though a voice in his heart was yelling crazily to make him look away, his body had gradually started to stiffen and he lost control.

those lights...

Those lights and colors...

Duran could feel that his thinking was becoming fragmented.

……

Raymond sat on his hospital bed and began to read very carefully a novel in his hand.

That used to be a classic novel that Allen had mentioned to the media in an interview many years ago.

Allen said at the time that he liked the novel.

Although it is far more difficult for the Bai Emperor to understand human literary works than to kill and absorb a human brain, he still works very hard, trying to understand the meaning of those words... Although this makes him A little dizzy.

In contrast, on the other side of the base, the tentacles hypnotized Duran so easily that he felt bored.

Everything was so smooth, so fast... However, the next second, Raymond's finger suddenly vibrated.

The novel fell from his hands and fell heavily on the ground, several pages of the expensive paper book were scattered in an instant.

But Raymond couldn't care less about the book at the moment.

He leaned over suddenly, and let out an extremely painful moan deep in his throat...

At the same time, all the normal humans in the base felt the ground under their feet, as well as the metal walls vibrate.

what happened?

They question each other.

But the only person who could answer them—the White Emperor of the Naga—now Raymond Morecambe, had fallen directly on the bed.

He seemed to be having a convulsion, his body twitching violently.

His heart, his core... was twitching uncontrollably, and his incomparably sharp, extended perception curled up painfully like a scorched protein thread.

The chaotic hissing from the depths of the universe, like a storm, rushed towards the current White Emperor.

He felt as if he was about to boil, and the invisible black flame burned violently along the nerves inside the body.

His flesh, his cells are festering at a speed visible to the naked eye...

The pale flesh was shattered one by one, and then liquefied into thick mucus, which flowed continuously in the ventilation duct.The slender tentacles gradually began to deform and deteriorate, and the suction cups that were originally uniform and no longer on the skin surface began to swell, and then gradually transformed into something similar to a tumor, and there were more ulcers on the tumor.

Eyeballs, mouthparts, and teeth grow in all the places they shouldn't.

In the depths of the dark pipes and structures that humans cannot see, the shimmering light that was originally only slightly brightened suddenly became extraordinarily gorgeous, and the colorful colors intertwined with each other, and finally turned into a large group of filthy and disgusting dazzling color blocks .

The nerves are boiling, and the soul is also beginning to become chaotic.

Emperor Bai fell to the ground, rolled up the tin blanket, and covered himself.

Under the cover of the blanket, he could clearly feel his skin gradually melting.

The human form that he transformed was also gradually disintegrating, and countless slender tentacles, like new hairs, emerged bit by bit along his spine.

In front of each tentacle grew a miniature human face, all of which were screaming and shouting, that belonged to the face of Raymond Morecambe, and all the faces of the Blackbird fleet. human face...

The White Emperor had already touched the hell of madness.

Yes……

Tides of madness.

The Bai Emperor vaguely thought that his whole body was trembling because of extreme restraint.

I'm afraid that even Mark Dom and Sakhir themselves never imagined that the wave of madness they talked about in that secret meeting would appear after they talked about it.

The White Emperor was in a state of collapse.

Before he enters the time bubble, he can always escape from the tide of madness quite by chance.

Because, whenever he is about to fall into collapse, the singing voice from afar will appear at the right time to rescue him from the inescapable madness and raving.

This is why Emperor Bai was able to defeat those hateful old immortals at such a young age, and ascended to the throne of emperor.

He is the only individual in the group who can escape the torment of the mad tide...

But this time, the situation of Emperor Bai was completely different from before.

With the strength of the individual and the enhancement of perception, the erosive effect of the mad tide on the naga will become more and more obvious.

And the White Emperor has spent such a long time in the time vesicle...

Yes, as Raymond, he told those people on earth that he had been in the time capsule for nearly a hundred years.

But in fact, even Emperor Bai himself couldn't calculate exactly how long he had been in that chaotic time and space.

In that emptiness and darkness, he has spent thousands of years... or ten thousand years?

This long period of time is enough to make it an unprecedentedly powerful existence in the entire history of Naga, but at the same time, his perception ability has also become sharper than any of its kind.

The tide of madness is like an irresistible storm to the current Bai Emperor.

All the measures he used to deal with the raving and pollution in the past have become extremely fragile.

"No... Allen..."

The White Emperor wailed.

He could hardly control himself...

"boom--"

In Duran's office... the two "medical officers" were like the main body. In this brief moment, they fell into madness, and those confusing color blocks suddenly turned into countless semi-rotten scars and tumors.

The human form collapsed instantly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and turned into a slender and terrifying tentacle form.

The hypnosis for humans also completely failed at the same time, Duran suddenly opened his eyes, he looked in front of him in shock, and then let out a scream because of what he saw.

"Whoa-"

Next, there was the sound of the observation window breaking. Those composite materials, which were enough to block several particle cannons, were like ordinary glass without any strengthening. Under the whipping of those two crazy tentacles, they turned into a large splash of residue.

The high-voltage power grid inside the wall emitted a series of crackling roars, and bluish sparks lit up one by one, followed by a dull explosion.

"Boom—"

Most of the energy network of the military base was cut off instantly under the collapse of the tentacles. .

After the two tentacles returned to their original shape, they quickly became distorted, just like their main body in the ward, their shapes were constantly changing, collapsing and reorganizing.

After the power grid disappeared, those tentacles quickly transformed into a large mass of rotten flesh, which slowly flowed into the observation room.

"No—help—"

Duran heard a few familiar shouts, and he fell to the ground, looking ahead of him in panic.

Then, he was shocked to see that his own face emerged from the gaps between the pieces of meat, and his face was now screaming continuously.

Duran's mind went blank in an instant.

He saw his own face with his mouth wide open, and then rushed towards him...

Living area, inside Alan's living cabin.

"power cut?"

Allen, who was under house arrest in the room, was taken aback by the sudden darkness.

He stood up abruptly, then quickly walked to the view and looked into the distance.

The darkness is eroding the circular human military base of Tianmao one by one.

This is not the first time an energy failure has occurred, but it is the first time that Allen feels so uneasy.

It's as if something is approaching...

Allen stared at the gradually spreading darkness, breathing more and more heavily.

When he noticed it, he realized that he was sweating a lot, and the cold sweat even soaked his clothes.

【Hiss... hiss... Allen... hiss...】

What immediately appeared in his ears was that special melody, that weird neighing.

The moment the energy failure arrived, the long-lost auditory hallucinations reappeared.

But this auditory hallucination sounds so vivid now, Allen can clearly hear a voice next to his ear constantly calling his name.

That voice is in excruciating pain right now

Allen hummed almost subconsciously...

Everything is so familiar, as if it has been staged a million times.

Allen felt his consciousness become a little fuzzy, as if he was immersed in a long nightmare at this time.

Ah yes...why is it so familiar?

Because in the dream, he has experienced such things many times.

When the silver nebula surrounding him howled, he would naturally sing the melody in his body.

Then the darkness that is about to attack them will gradually fade...

But shouldn't that be a dream?

why?

Why does it appear in reality now?
