Advent

Allen looked at his arm involuntarily, and he soon noticed something else-the wet mucus left on his cuff, and more red marks...

Maybe it's an allergy.

He had never slept on a sofa before.

There was a rational voice in Alan's heart speaking to him.

As for the slime, it is easy to explain. The base has already become dilapidated under the attack of the Naga people. During this period of time, seepage leaked from the pipeline from time to time.Oh Ellen, it's not like you haven't heard other people's complaints...

Allen continued talking to himself.

But no matter how I persuaded myself, when I saw those ambiguous pale pink and red suction marks, more pictures continued to emerge from the depths of Allen's heart, his memories, his dreams...

Tentacles, suckers, wet flesh in singing, hallucinations of being wrapped in something and sucking tightly...

[Oh, yes, it's a hallucination, you should have known this a long time ago! 】

[Your hallucinations and auditory hallucinations have always been serious, don't forget what those people called you in school?They call you Crazy Ellen, don't they? 】

"Raymond, have you seen before..."

With wonderful panic and hesitation, Allen asked the man beside him in a trance.

[This is so stupid.How could those tentacles that appeared in the dream be real? 】

He was still trying to convince himself...but his hands were a little disobedient, Alan reached out and rolled up the cuffs of his pajamas, and found more red marks on his shoulders, and his pajamas were also wet .Allen raised his head and looked at the ceiling of the living room. The metal ceiling was dry and clean, without any sign of liquid leakage.

"What exactly is going on……"

Allen frowned, and felt his throat was a little dry.

"..."

Raymond didn't respond to Allen after a long time, and he turned his head to look at his nominal partner.

The man who was crying and saying that he couldn't sleep before was looking down at the marks on Allen's arm at this time, and his expression was a little strange.

Stiff, bewildered, jealous, angry... Vaguely, he seemed to be regretting something.

But when Raymond raised his face, the complex expressions Allen saw on his face seemed to be all just Allen's own guesses.When Allen asked about the marks on his arm, Raymond's reaction was very innocent.

"I, I don't know."

He didn't seem to notice the strange marks on Alan's arm at all.It can be said that Raymond's performance at this moment has set his best performance record.But the look in Allen's eyes became darker, and his whole body became more tense.Whether it is intuition or instinct, Allen always feels that Raymond seems to be lying.

The moment he opened his eyes, the black shadow that passed by the corner of his eyes... seemed to be directly incorporated into Raymond's body?

This clip suddenly flashed through the bottom of Alan's heart, and a wonderful and absurd guess vaguely appeared in his mind, but before the guess took shape, Alan forcibly dismissed the idea in an instant.He wondered if he might really be crazy, otherwise why would he feel that Raymond he...

"I……"

Raymond has been observing Allen, and of course he is aware of Allen's suspicion and vigilance.

All the corridors filling the pipelines of the entire human military base became extremely stiff at this moment, and the soft pipelines that were clogged due to hardening even caused several system failures.

"Alan, I just..."

Where Allen couldn't see, some brightly colored spots slowly emerged on the skin under Raymond's pajamas, and the spots were constantly flashing.

Up to now, Raymond is painfully aware that maybe he is about to pay the price for his previous impulse, and he may need to hypnotize Allen to get through the current difficulties.

If he had a choice, Raymond would not be willing to hypnotize Alan anyway—although he could easily control everything about other humans in the base, but Alan was the only one who was different.

He didn't want to treat his most beloved star in such a despicable way...

Those damn tentacles!

Raymond cursed his recalcitrant body.

It's just that when Raymond was about to raise his spotted arm to show Allen, there was a strange slapping sound outside the living cabin.

"Bang bang bang..."

A few consecutive slaps followed by a brief pause, followed by another series of slaps.

Now Allen frowned involuntarily.

Before he could stand up, a familiar voice came from outside the thick metal hatch.

"Alan, open the door! It's me."

It turned out to be Rafael?Why doesn't he use a communicator?

Allen stepped forward in great wonder, and opened the metal door.In the next second, Rafael with a livid face quickly squeezed into Allen's living cabin directly through the crack of the door, then turned around and closed the metal cabin door heavily again.

After doing all this, his back was directly pressed against the metal door, and then, gasping for breath, he looked up at the two people in front of him in surprise.When he saw that Allen and Raymond were disheveled, the lines on his face tightened.

"Something went wrong."

He said to Allen, as if explaining.

Allen was extremely confused. He had never seen Rafael's face look as bad as it is now. This Beta man looked as if he was going to die in a second.

"Raphael? What happened?" Allen couldn't help asking.

Rafael's gaze went straight from Allen's face, and then to Raymond.

"Colonel Raymond Morecambe has been involved in some... some political struggles," Raphael muttered vaguely, then raised his voice.

"Please get dressed, we need to get out of here. Get out now."

Raphael turned to Raymond and said.

"..."

Raymond gave Rafael a cold look, and he didn't even respond.

But even so, Rafael couldn't help but fight a cold war.Of course, at this time, Raphael naturally combined the fear that surged in his heart with the things he knew, and ignored the existence of Raymond.

"Leave? Where? What happened... Raymond is leaving?"

Compared with Raymond's calmness, Allen was more excited.

Allen stared at Rafael. Rafael's state was very bad after he entered the door. He looked nervous and frightened... and this weird behavior made Allen's heart beat very fast.

Vaguely, he could already feel that something bad had happened.

Hearing Allen's message, Rafael pursed his lips. After a very short hesitation, he lowered his voice and said to Allen quickly: "Some people think... Colonel Raymond Morecambe he……"

As soon as Raymond was mentioned, Rafael involuntarily turned his gaze to the obsessed man beside him.

Rafael's expression was a bit complicated.

"There was a feeling that Colonel Raymond Morecambe was in collusion with the Naga...they gave some evidence, of course very ridiculous evidence, but someone 'important' seemed to believe it. He thought the Naga were in a The attack on human military bases a week ago was precisely because of Colonel Raymond Morecambe."

"Wait, Raymond and the Naga..." Allen stared at Rafael dumbfounded, almost unable to believe his ears,

Raymond colluded with the naga?

How can this be?

Allen almost blurted out a curse.

But at the moment when he almost opened his mouth to refute, he suddenly remembered the doubts he had about Raymond before: when he opened his eyes, the strange black shadow that quickly entered Raymond's body, and the shadow on Alan's arm Those uniform red spots that seem to be left after being sucked by tentacles...

Are Raymond and the Naga really completely unrelated?At this moment, Allen found that he couldn't give a completely negative answer.

a few hours ago -

Virgo human military base medical repair area

Individual under surveillance: Duran Noxus

Identity: Senior Director of the Medical Department (Note: Authority has been handed over)

"no no……"

Lying in the medical cabin, which is quite luxurious for the current military base, the former top medical director finally woke up slowly after a long coma.

The constant mumbles from his mouth mixed with the warnings from the monitoring equipment.

"Dr. Duran?"

"My God...Dr. Duran!"

"He's awake?!"

"Quickly check..."

... Several medical officers put down their work immediately after realizing that Duran was awake, and rushed into his ward.

They checked his status very quickly.Judging from the body data detected by the instrument, Duran Noxus looked fine, but soon the reality was not so optimistic... Duran kept screaming about the Naga.

Obviously, the tragic attack by the Naga a week ago had caused quite serious mental damage to Duran.

"No...the Naga! My God! The Naga...that's the Naga..."

"Dr. Duran, please calm down. You are safe. The Naga attack ended more than a week ago. We have now entered the stage of post-war reconstruction. You are safe. Please don't panic."

"Dr. Duran..."

"No, no - not safe! No one will be safe! Yes, yes... You don't know... You are deluded... The naga, those naga have been hiding here, the whole base It's the Naga! I know them! I've seen what they're doing! Those are the Naga..."

Dr. Duran opened his empty eyes. The coma for many days made him look haggard and frightening. When he noticed that the medical officer who was in charge of hugging him was a newcomer medical officer who was a bit strange, Du Lan Lan suddenly let out a scream, and then his whole body trembled violently.He grabbed the infusion stand that was placed next to him, and slammed it hard at the medical officer beside him with astonishing force.Fortunately, the medical officer noticed something was wrong immediately and quickly avoided him.

"Dr. Duran... Oh my God! Please calm down!"

The rest of the medical officers originally thought that they had finally found a leader they could rely on, but judging from the reality, the medical officers might have to spend a long period of hard time relying on themselves.

Seeing that Duran was in such a panic, several medical officers had to rush up and press Duran on the hospital bed.But even so, Duran's screams did not stop, on the contrary, his voice became louder and louder.

"I saw it, I saw it with my own eyes, I saw his medical records, he's been commanding those naga people, those people are disguised as humans, oh my god! They can pretend to be humans... this base is over , this base has been completely occupied, don't you smell it? His disgusting slime smell is everywhere here!"

Duran's voice was so shrill that it almost seemed to ooze blood, but after hearing his words, all the medical officers just frowned.They looked at each other vaguely, then shook their heads...

Dr. Duran Noxus has probably temporarily disqualified himself from being a Director.

The alien attack made him still deeply feared to this day-almost all human beings have the same guess in their hearts.

While showing deep sympathy, this group of loyal subordinates did not take Duran's words to heart.Well, this is also normal, after all, the words Duran keeps yelling now are really ridiculous.In the medical department, almost everyone knows that Colonel Raymond Morecambe participated in the Battle of the Dark Blade and was a member of the Black Stork. Without the Black Stork, it is impossible for humans to enjoy the three years calm……

Colonel Raymond Morecambe was really bad, he became violent and very difficult to communicate with, but even then, no one can deny his status as a hero.

In the entire base, I am afraid that only Colonel Raymond Morecambe is absolutely impossible to collude with the Naga.

Besides, there has never been a collusion between humans and Naga people in history.

The difference between the two races is so great that they can't even communicate in language...how can they reach a consensus?

While Duran was yelling and trying to use his own way to announce to others what happened to him before he fell into a coma, above the heads of the other medical officers, two nearly transparent tubes slowly dripped down from the vent tube. delicate tentacles.Their receptors were accurately aligned in Duran's direction, and some fine light spots began to flicker slowly on the top of the tentacles

"It's it! It's coming! It's coming..." Duran raised his head inadvertently, and then directly met those tentacles and those strange light spots.He immediately started screaming and covering his face with his hands.The rest of the medical officers were a little worried, because Dulan was acting too crazy - so crazy that he seemed to be going to use his fingers to gouge out his eyeballs in the next second.

But the more excited Duran was, the more he made everyone's attention focus on himself, and no one would notice the two inconspicuous tentacles on the ceiling.Except for Duran himself——soon, those light spots were already flickering.

After seeing those light spots, Duran directly lost control of his body, and everything was the same as before... He was hypnotized.

"no no……"

Duran whimpered.

After a few more seconds like this, Duran slowly closed his eyes uncontrollably, and those light spots seemed to be still flickering in his dark world.Duran felt that his body gradually became lighter, but in reality, his body trembled suddenly, and then suddenly passed out without a sound.

"What a pity..."

The rest of the medical officers sighed and helped Duran back to the hospital bed, and then covered him with a blanket.

"Those bloody naga—"

"Is it possible for Dr. Duran to return to normal?"

"Oh my God, I want to go home...there's no end to these bloody naga..."

……

The medical officer who was chatting didn't realize that just behind them, there were a few newcomers in front of the scene. They were all low-level assistants drawn from ordinary soldiers by the "mother" to fill the manpower. Less cursed and scolded by the medical officers.

But now, they looked at the supervisor of the medical officer and sneered with ulterior motives at the same time.

A few minutes later, the medical officers came out of the ward in an orderly manner. They still had a lot of work to do, and the two newcomers who were standing at the back gave each other a look, and they came together Somewhere in the corridor.

"Did you record it?"

one of them asked.

"Of course such a valuable job, the group of elders will definitely like it..." Another person said softly in a casual tone, and raised his bracelet after speaking.

He tapped lightly on his wrist, and a holographic video clip instantly flashed in the air.

The scene in which Duran accuses Raymond of colluding with the Naga is particularly poignantly filmed by the duo.

"Oh, tmd, this is really powerful..." the soldier muttered softly.

Then he opened his wristband very skillfully, called out the communication list, pointed at the name on the list with his fingertips, and sent the video he had recorded in the ward before.

"Poor Colonel Raymond Morecambe, that fellow was a hero before."

Watching his companions send out the specially cut video, one of them couldn't help frowning.

"Hey, man, don't be so sentimental, you have to think about it, if we don't catch that guy Raymond, it's our luck!"

And now... everything is fine at last!

From the relaxed expressions of the two assistants, it can be seen that even they themselves do not believe at all that Raymond Morecambe colluded with the Naga, but there will always be someone in the Tianmao human military base who believes Yes, or to put it more precisely - they must "believe".

The office of the chief officer of the military base, Crohn——

Crohn thought that he only needed to go to the military base to act as a mascot, but when he came, he actually experienced a terrible battle.In just a few days, Crohn has aged a lot under the heavy work. He looks haggard and slovenly, and he can't see the mascot appearance of resolute justice before.

In contrast, the other man in his office seemed completely unaffected by the naga attacks.

He is a tall old man, maybe he was indeed a heroic senior officer and general when he was young, but now his belly has long been towering.The man's round face was covered with fine oil, and he looked more like a businessman than a soldier—but the epaulets on his shoulders reminded Kron that the man in front of him was not easy to deal with.

"General Colas..." Kron raised his head to look at the person coming with a headache, then gritted his molars secretly, but tried hard to squeeze out a flattering smile on his face.

Colas was supposed to be the supreme commander of the human military base in Tianma, but considering the seven distant human colonies he owns, some people in the Earth Council—those stupid liberals began to worry that he would put Tianma Human military bases are operated as their own private property.So they found a way to use some means to elect Crohn.

It can be said that Crohn's title of Supreme Commander was completely snatched from Colas.

Before the battle with the Naga, Kron didn't need to look at this guy's face. After all, he was a central faction, but now the situation has become more subtle.After the warp stabilizer failed, Kruen had to change his face to deal with Kolas - several colonies of Kolas are very close to the military base, if they have not been able to repair the warp stabilization period, The people in the entire human military base may have to rely on Colas' rescue.

Thank goodness, Kron is not the kind of real soldier with hard bones, he is a pretty good politician, so when he saw Colas at this time, he immediately put on a completely different flattering face from before .

[What is this dead pig doing here. 】

Although his true thoughts are like this.

"I have received a report... General Crohn." Colas looked at Crohn with satisfaction. He admired Crohn's fawning face, and then his voice was deliberately drawn out, slowly Tun said. "It's about Colonel Raymond Morecambe..."

"Colonel Raymond Morecambe?"

"Oh, yes, he is... the only survivor of the War of the Dark Blade, the hero of mankind. But the reports I received told me something horrifying. He seemed to be involved with the naga... "

"What?" Crohn looked at the man in front of him in astonishment.

"Oh, I can see that you are surprised. In fact, I was also very surprised when I received the report. After all, we all know that Colonel Raymond is a hero, but... people are always very complicated. A It's been a week, and we still haven't found the exact answer: why the Naga, who have been quiet for three years, suddenly attacked the base at this time..."

"But it has nothing to do with Raymond, does it?"

"How could it be unrelated? General Crohn, you must have been in the heavenly days in the Central District for a long time. Have you ever thought that the Naga might just know about Raymond Morecambe, this The man who killed their emperor appeared, so they took such a big risk to start attacking here..."

[I don't see any risk. The shields and weapons provided by the military did not actually play any role. 】

With a thick and tight smile on Crohn's face, he responded coldly from the bottom of his heart. .

Colas didn't seem to notice the indifference in Kron's eyes. He waved his hand, and the scene of Duran accusing Raymond was instantly displayed in the center of the office. When Duran's scream disappeared, Colas remained silent. Standing up quickly, he approached Kron.

"Look, even Duran, the chief executive of the medical department, has stepped forward....

Kron frowned at Colas's squirming lips.

Among the countless nonsense, he easily found the point - this fat guy in front of him wanted to make Raymond Morecambe disappear.
