Advent

"I... I don't understand what you're talking about..."

Allen said softly.

"No, you know."

Sakhir clicked on the projection, and Allen's personal information flashed in the dark air in the suspended car instantly.

And Sakhir looked at Alan across the scrolling text.

"You have modified your identity record, but the person who modified your identity cannot completely erase your true identity. Alan Dan Bracewell, you are not an ordinary person with the same name and surname as him. You are 'Kraken' himself, that song was your big hit all those years ago. I suppose Colonel Raymond Morecambe knew about it too? He's obsessed with you."

"Hey Kroon—"

Seeing that Allen's face became more and more ugly, and his whole body seemed to be crumbling, Rafael couldn't help but speak, and he gave Sakhir a reproachful look.

Sakhir completely ignored protests from his colleagues.

In fact, when he re-examined the information that belonged to Allen retrieved from the core system again, he more or less noticed the origin of Rafael's weird attitude.

Raphael is a fan of Ellen Dan Bracewell.

As soon as Sakhir thought of the series of terrible ideas involved behind Raymond Morecambe, he suddenly felt a secret anger towards Rafael's untimely worship.This anger undoubtedly made his attitude more irritable.

"He directly connected the energy of the rescue capsule to your projection sphere, so that the insignificant projection sphere can share the energy with the rescue capsule that keeps him alive. In this way, he can hear you even in deep sleep. singing."

"You are very important to him. Even without pheromone, you are still an important tool for us to wake him up safely."

Sakhir did not leave any chance for others to intervene, so he spoke quickly.

"tool?"

Allen opened his eyes slightly, and he looked at Sakhir.

"tool……"

Alan's eyes widened slightly, and a certain deep emotion flashed away in his eyes, but it was quickly covered up by silence.

"Ahem, Mr. Alan Morecambe, what we really want to say is that your existence is very important to us."

Rafael explained nervously instead of Sakhir.

"The attributes of Colonel Raymond Morecambe are crucial for us to understand the current situation, and this even concerns the safety of the entire Earth Alliance..."

"So, what do you need me to do?"

Allen asked suddenly.

His tone returned to calm, and even seemed a little numb.

And this submissive attitude even made Sakir a little bit astonished, just like Raphael, after Raymond Morecambe became the only survivor on the Black Stork, he carefully studied Raymond's information , Although what happened between that man and Allen was secret, it was quite obvious to professionals like them.

In Raymond Morecambe's officer's apartment, the medical robot's link to the public system has been altered.

Injury medicine purchased anonymously at a pharmacy.

Sporadic noise complaints from neighbors in officers' apartments.

……

Of course, the more important thing is that Raymond Morecambe illegally tampered with the pairing system through special means, and became a partner with Alan in violation of the regulations-this guy is simply a scum, but he does have a morbid obsession with Alan .

Well, that last point is what Sakhir Kruhn cares about.

He thought he would need to spend more time convincing Alan (he even investigated the "good guy" who helped Alan cover up his identity, and he was not stingy at all with using that kind person if necessary) to hold Allen hostage for human comfort).

But now things seem to be going much smoother than he thought. Although he was once such a famous superstar, Alan in real life doesn't have any edge... This extremely thin and pale young man seems to have been completely smoothed by life .

Sakhir suppressed the weird pity in his heart, and turned off Alan's information projection.

"Colonel Raymond Morecambe is currently in the hospital at the Tianmao space force base, we hope you can accompany him there...and then find a way to wake him up." Sakhir's voice paused for a moment before adding, " ...whatever method you use."

Of course Allen didn't ask what "no matter what method is used", and he didn't want to know what would happen to Raymond if he didn't wake up Raymond as these people hoped.

The unreal feeling that seemed to be in a dream attacked him again, making the fear and surprise that tormented him blurred and distant.

He even wanted to laugh a little bit.

How did Raymond never know how important he was to that guy until he boarded the Black Stork?

"Don't be scared, it's not that bad—"

The gentler officer named Rafael seemed to have misunderstood Alan's expression. After the suspension vehicle stopped suddenly and opened the door, he took advantage of the opportunity to hold Alan when he got off the vehicle, approached Alan and whispered comforted.

"According to the news from the base, Colonel Raymond Morecambe's indicators are stable, and he will wake up."

"..."

Allen could sense Rafael's kindness, but at this moment, he couldn't say anything more——

After getting off the suspension vehicle, he was extremely surprised to find that he was standing in front of a strange looking silver-white ship.

"This is 'Albatross'," Raphael patted Allen on the shoulder lightly, "This ship is equipped with a hyperspace engine, which can send you to the Tianmai garrison base as quickly as possible."

He tried to look relaxed, but there was still some sympathy in his tone.

"Wait, you mean... I'm going to Virgo right now?"

Allen thought he was mentally prepared, but the things in front of him were still beyond his imagination.

An hour ago he was looking for second-hand bearings for the fan in his dilapidated apartment, and an hour later, he learned the news of Raymond Kruhn without warning, and he was about to be killed by these people Sent to the edge of human civilization in the universe.

"That's right, it's about human safety. We have no time to lose."

Sakhir said sternly beside Allen.

Allen was taken aboard the "Albatross" without any resistance.

He is not a soldier and has not received jump training, so the first time after boarding the ship, he was given a deep sleep potion and stuffed into the buffer tank.

His clothes were taken off because of this, and his original appearance was displayed in front of Sakhir and Rafael without any defense.

He was astonishingly thin, and all these years had left him looking utterly haggard.

Compared with the materials that Sakhir had seen, he seemed to be only half the thickness of the elf-like boy back then, even if he touched it with his hands, half of his frailty and slenderness would be directly broken.

But even so, he was still breathtakingly beautiful - Rafael even looked at him when he put on the protective suit.

It was at this time that Sakhir deeply realized why people called Alan Bracewell a "sea monster" back then. In a sense, there was indeed a kind of illusory inhuman feel.

If it weren't for the exact and extreme reproductive isolation between the ghostly monsters on the Mars channel and humans, Sakhir would even suspect that maybe Allen's bloodline may be mixed with the genes of some alien creatures.

He and Raphael remained strangely silent until the "Albatross" set sail, and then began continuous space transitions.

"...you are his fan."

Sitting in his seat, feeling the severe nausea and pressure brought by the leap, Sakhir suddenly spoke abruptly.

Rafael turned his head with difficulty and looked at Sakhir.

"Who can't?"

He didn't deny it.

Sakhir didn't say anything more, because on the one hand, the side effects of the leap became more and more obvious, and on the other hand... he found that he had no way to refute.

Yes, who can not be infatuated with such a person?

However, compared with Rafael, Sakhir has a colder side in his mind.

He was a little more confident that Allen would wake Raymond Morecambe.Because, if it was him...if it was him, even if he went to hell, he would return to the human world no matter what.

……

Allen was still a little dazed when he woke up.

In his opinion, he just fell asleep, and when he woke up, the earth was already far away.

If it wasn't for the vast and dark sea of ​​stars outside the viewing porthole reminding him that he is now in the human military base in the Virgo constellation, he wouldn't have any sense of reality about this matter.

To make matters worse, when he woke up, he found himself wearing an unfamiliar uniform-his face and hair were exposed, which made Allen's movements a little hesitant.

Fortunately, Rafael handed over his original clothes in time.

"In theory, all foreign personnel entering the base should wear uniforms..." He looked at Allen, involuntarily and a little distracted, and finally pulled his thoughts back, "But I think you can approve a coat, or wear a uniform. Put on glasses or something."

"If it makes you feel better," he added.

Allen quickly put on his coat, turned up his collar, and put on his bulky and ugly glasses.

After hearing Rafael's words, he pursed his lips, and then he looked at Rafael.

"Thank you."

Allen said softly.

Rafael felt his cheeks become slightly warm...

Not far from them, Sakhir crossed his arms and looked at his wrist impatiently.

"uh-huh--"

He reminded with a nasal voice.

Rafael shuddered and came back to his senses, then he looked at his wrist, the task time limit on it was constantly beating.

He was sure that Allen must have seen that line of numbers too.

"Ahem, then, next... we will take you to the ward where Raymond Morecambe is now."

"Then let me find a way to wake him up?"

Allen straightened his cuffs and asked calmly word by word.

"No, no, there's no need to be in such a hurry."

Rafael immediately shook his head: "This is your first contact with him, I think those people probably only intend to observe... Of course, there may be a series of awakening methods that require your cooperation."

He made a draft in his heart, and planned to respond to Allen's next question—he hoped that his answer would make Allen feel more at ease, but Allen remained silent after that question.

He seemed very well-behaved and peaceful, he didn't ask too many questions and didn't have much curiosity. Rafael should have remained happy, but seeing Allen like this, he felt nothing but sourness in his heart.

Raymond Morecambe deserved to die in space, and he deserved to die more painfully than anyone else.

Rafael couldn't help thinking.

The scene suddenly became a little silent, and finally Sakhir spoke.

"Let's go."

He then took Allen out of the room, he said.

Allen followed closely.

From time to time, Rafael turned his head sideways to observe the giant heart of his ex, which he was obsessed with.

And Allen, who was standing beside him, looked as indifferent as stagnant water, and his breathtaking eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of gray mist, making it difficult for people to see his true mood.

……

Allen has come a long way, and the human military base in Virgo is more remote and quiet than he thought.

And this silence continued until Rafael and Sakhir opened a closed metal door after several complicated verifications.

The noisy human voice combined with the chirping of various machines rushed towards Allen like a tidal wave.

Several researchers in white coats suddenly turned their heads to look at the door after hearing the movement, and then fell silent at the same time.

Allen could feel the eyes of those people falling directly on him.

He frowned slightly.

"Alan... Morecambe, the official companion of Survivor One, right?"

After a while, a tall and thin researcher pushed his glasses and approached Allen.

"Yes."

Raphael replied instead of Allen.

"According to your request, we brought him."

"Well, not bad—"

The tall and thin researcher's gaze made Allen feel a little uncomfortable, but fortunately, the former stepped back after confirming his identity.

"He is there, please remain quiet and calm, just like you are now, walk in calmly and approach him. When you are about fifty centimeters closer to the individual, please stop and call his name."

said the man.

Behind him, a glass door opened slowly, smoothly and silently.

Behind the door was a room that looked more like a research room than a sick room.

Countless complex machinery, densely packed pipelines, and a large number of display screens wrap the capsule-shaped rescue capsule in the center of the room.

Allen stared blankly ahead, at the rescue capsule.

His heart beat suddenly faster, and a strange feeling captured his mind instantly. When he noticed it, he realized that he had walked into the room without knowing it, and then stood upright. In front of the rescue capsule.

Then, three years later, he finally saw his nominal husband again.

Raymond Morecambe.
