Advent

When Mason Passmore was attacked and killed by the so-called fanatical fan, someone once said the exact same thing to Allen.

It's just that Allen never thought that after so many years, he would hear the same words again...and fall into the same situation.

For a moment he even began to suspect that the abuse and curses those people uttered at him at the funeral were true-he was indeed a damned bane, and everywhere he went was madness, twisting and death.

"Alan, Mr Morecambe? Are you all right?"

Maybe it was because Alan's face was too ugly. After noticing his silence, even Mark Dom couldn't help asking about his condition.

"Ellen..."

Of course, Raymond was probably the most worried person in the room.He held Alan tightly, as if Alan would disappear from his hands in the next second.

The pain caused by the hand bones being squeezed finally brought Allen back to his senses.

Allen suppressed his emotions, took a deep breath, and then looked up and looked around.

"I'm very good."

He said.

Perhaps, in a sense, the death of teacher Mason Passmore many years ago has given Alan enough practice.

There seemed to be a voice whispering softly in Allen's heart.

He seemed to be familiar with this situation, and under Mark Dom's scrutiny, he continued to undergo interrogation with astonishing restraint and calmness.Allen kept repeating all the details of yesterday to the man in front of him.

He could even tell people calmly how the man caught him, and the strange smile on the man's face when Allen ran away in a hurry...

(Allen shudders with intense discomfort as he recalls the man's perverted gaze.)

"Well, in this way, there is actually a possibility that there may be disputes among your fanatical fans. They may belong to some secret sick group, and the victim's indiscretion towards you directly caused a quarrel between your fellow fans. In the end, his companions decided to kill the 'criminal' who 'offended' you, and placed him in the middle of the corridor as an apology to you."

Makdom said softly while recording something on the data board.

Thanks to the experience many years ago, Allen habitually made himself numb-when he heard the other party mention those "fanatic fans", Allen found that his mind did not fluctuate at all.

On the contrary, Raymond beside him became more irritable under Mark Dom's almost aggressive questioning.

Not even Alan's consolation could calm him down.

Even if he was just sitting next to him, Allen could faintly hear the crackling of the muscles on Raymond's body due to excessive tension.

And if he guessed right, Raymond seemed to emit pheromones that belonged exclusively to Alpha as a means of suppression.Otherwise, Makdom and Sakhir in front of him wouldn't be so pale suddenly, dripping with cold sweat, and groaning strangely.

"Colonel Raymond Morecambe - if I were you I would at least restrain myself!"

Mark Dom held his hands vigorously, and Allen could see that the man's knuckles were already a little pale because of excessive force.Allen even had a little doubt. In the next second, the high-ranking executive would directly press the button and call the group of armed soldiers outside the door into the room to suppress Raymond who was about to lose control.

Fortunately, at the last moment, the worst outcome did not come—before Raymond completely lost control, the metal hatch suddenly opened smoothly, and then the two medical officers whom Allen had met yesterday walked into life together cabin.

"Report to Chief Makdom, the medical officer code K122, number A22, came to welcome Colonel Raymond Morecambe back to his room for today's routine treatment."

Seeing the dangerous situation in the room, the two medical officers looked calm, and even their eyes did not fluctuate at all.

Their calm eyes swept across Allen and the others like that, and finally they turned their heads and said to Mark Dom in a somewhat weird tone.

And Mark Dom seemed to have finally had enough of Raymond's beast-like threat. The arrival of the medical officer gave him a step, allowing him to end this extremely torturous questioning.

The man suddenly closed the data pad in his hand, then jumped up and walked towards the door.

"Then, this is the end of our inquiry..."

He muttered somewhat dissatisfied.

As they passed through the door, he directed his strange anger at the two medical officers.

"Do you just leave Colonel Raymond Morecambe alone with an ordinary man with no medical experience, and leave no one to supervise? Oh, God, when did the Medical Department become Now, I think I should ask Duran how he manages the department."

"All of Colonel Raymond Morecambe's medical procedures were approved by his superiors."

It's just that Mark Dom, who was able to keep both Rafael and Sakhir in silence, seemed to lose his power and title all of a sudden when facing the two medical officers. Facing such aggressive questioning , the two medical officers just replied flatly.

Their reply immediately made Mark Dom's face turn purple.

"Oh, it'd be better..."

Makdom's face was a little twisted, he said pretendingly indifferently, then, he clamped the old-fashioned data pad under his arm, and hurriedly walked outside the living cabin.

However, before leaving, Makdom suddenly turned his head and looked directly at Allen.

"Mr. Allen, although you don't have much suspicion at the moment... But considering the special nature of this murder case, if I were you, I suggest you obediently stay in your room for the next period of time , don’t go out and walk around, so as not to cause more... trouble.”

He said in an arrogant tone.

"thanks for your reminder……"

Allen looked directly at Mark Dom and responded.

There was a sudden noise around him. Allen didn't tilt his head, but he still raised his hand accurately and grabbed Raymond...

Compared with his dislike of Mark Dom, Allen is more worried about Raymond's temper at this time.

He didn't want to watch Raymond suddenly explode and turn his living cabin into a bloody hand-to-hand fight scene at the last moment, not to mention that Mark Dom was still surrounded by so many soldiers with live ammunition.

What surprised Allen a little was that although Raymond's pulse was astonishingly fast, he didn't yell directly at Mark Dom as he did before.

When Allen grabbed him, he immediately stopped all movements.

This somewhat relieved Allen.

The metal door closed again, and the figures of Mark Dom, Raphael and others gradually disappeared from the other side of the door, and the sound of neat steps heralded their departure.

And it wasn't until this time that Allen sighed for a long time, and he suddenly relaxed.

"Alan! Are you okay..."

Raymond's extremely weak and anxious inquiry came from beside him.

Allen turned his head and could just see Raymond's pale face. Obviously, the person who accepted such an inquiry was Allen, but the person who seemed to be severely tortured was Raymond who had been listening.

After changing his ferocious look in front of Mark Dom, Raymond looked as if he was about to cry in the next second.

It's just that when Alan thought of Raymond crying, his back suddenly felt a little hairy.

He quickly reached out and patted Raymond on the shoulder vigorously.

"I am fine."

Allen comforted his Alpha partner dryly.

"I'm just a little... tired. After all, seeing such a person encounter such a thing, I still feel a little sick."

Especially considering what Mark Dom said-maybe in this base, there may be more than one crazy fan of Allen.

Just thinking about this, Allen felt a little out of breath.

He forced a smile and gave Raymond a wry smile.

"Alan...I'm too useless..."

Raymond said with a sad expression.

And while he was speaking, Mark Dom suddenly stopped in the corridor of the Tianmao human military base.

With a livid face, he turned his head and looked behind him, and instinctively drew out his weapon with one hand and pointed it at the corridor behind him.

"what happened?"

Sakhir was by Makdom's side at this time, seeing his chief's behavior, he immediately asked nervously.

"It's a little strange, I always feel that the moment just now..."

Mark Dom frowned slightly, and he reached out and gently touched the pair of plain antique external glasses on his face.

In his field of vision, a scanning blue light directly swept across the entire corridor in a very short time.

However, the advanced scan has been scanned several times, and according to the data analysis, there is nothing unusual about Mark Dom's surroundings.

Only then did Makdom breathe a sigh of relief, he regained his footing, and slowly put the weapon back.

It's just that Sakhir's strange gaze still stayed on him - after realizing this, Makdom couldn't help but replied: "It's nothing."

Of course he would not tell Sakhir that at that moment just now, Makdom felt a strange sense of danger, as if he was being targeted by some extremely terrifying beast.

Was it the stress-induced nervousness that resulted from too much alpha pheromone suppression in Alan Morecambe's room?

Makdom thought a little uneasy.

……

"Those people are clearly bullying Allen, but I'm useless at all..."

In the living cabin, Alan never expected that his comfort to Raymond would make the young Alpha's eyes even redder.

……

At the same moment, on the ceiling of the small area where Magdom left, several slender, spider-like tentacles poked out of the ventilation opening bit by bit, and they kept swaying in the air. , a few drops of crystal mucus looked like condensed water, silently dripping slowly along the tentacles to the ground.

"Zi-"

When the ground made of advanced synthetic materials came into contact with those few drops of mucus, a series of obviously corroded marks immediately appeared on the surface.

The flesh and tentacles that almost occupied the entire internal circulation system of the Virgo human military base also came to life at this time. They squirmed, twisted, and tumbling towards Makdom's direction.

Perceptrons, eyeballs, and other detection organs protruded slightly from every gap in the human military base's activity area, and they looked viciously at the man who walked past them.

……

"Don't cry."

Allen couldn't help sighing. At this time, he really couldn't spare much to comfort the crying Raymond.

"Raymond, this matter has nothing to do with you. In fact, you have done a good job..."

Allen said to Raymond.

"I really want to kill that man."

But at this moment, Raymond suddenly sighed and whispered in Alan's ear.

Hearing this slight murmur, Allen couldn't help but startled, and he looked up at Raymond in shock.

The young man still looked innocent and naive up to this time, but in the words he said as if nothing had happened... there was an evil spirit that made Allen feel a chill down his spine.

Raymond may have really intended to kill the man.

This cognition was so clear in Allen's heart that Allen couldn't help but fight a cold war because of Raymond's killing intent.

……

"Ok?"

Makdom suddenly stopped his footsteps again.

He looked behind him again, and then repeated his inspection somewhat mechanically.

Still no problems found.

The letters on the retina say it plainly.

but……

The feeling of being spied on like a shadow made Mark Dom feel extremely upset and uneasy.

He saw nothing, but there seemed to be an uneasy smell in the air.

That's... Raymond's pheromone?

……

"Don't...Raymond, calm down. That's an official of the human military base. No matter how you look at it, you shouldn't...you shouldn't hurt others."

Allen said to Raymond seriously.

"But--"

"Be good, Raymond."

Allen sighed, he turned his head slowly and looked at the metal hatch. Mark Dom had already left, but Allen still seemed to be able to see his back.

His face was serious.

Allen didn't think Mark Dom was as arrogant, rude and stupid as he showed.

In fact, the moment the man found himself, Allen smelled a certain familiar smell from him.

It was a terrible breath that had trapped Allen in nightmares for several years.

Mason Passmore was assassinated and killed, and the assassin turned out to be his fanatical fan.

Everything was so chaotic and desperate. At that time, Allen was controlled as the key suspect.

And considering Mason's special political status, the person responsible for interrogating and monitoring Allen is a member of a similar secret agency.

Although they usually hide their true identities very well, they always have a very special aura, which is an uncomfortable smell of blood.

It is also this "smell" that Allen can always accurately detect their identities.

Just like he recognized Mark Dom now.

Of course, Allen never liked those people, but... He never denied the power of those people, their powerful energy hidden from public view, as long as they received orders, they could do anything.

Allen suddenly had doubts about what happened to him.

Was the man last night really just an ordinary fanatic who wanted to do something wrong to him?

Thinking of this, Raphael and Sakhir quietly stood by Mark Dom's side once again in Alan's mind, hesitating to speak.

What is that man...

Allen frowned, and his mood became heavier.

"Raymond, do you really not remember anything about the past..."

Allen didn't even know why he suddenly asked such a question.

……

A few spider-like tentacles slowly fell from the vent, and it only took an instant for them to land directly on Markdom's head.

……

But the moment Allen asked that sentence, all the "White Emperors" inside the entire military base suddenly became extremely stiff.

"Damn-"

Makdom let out a curse.He patted himself on the shoulder subconsciously, and then checked the surrounding environment again.

Still the same, no problems.

But that wonderful sense of peeping that made him feel unbearable suddenly disappeared.

Mark Dom's face was livid, and he frowned and quickly left the area.

……

Allen actually didn't expect any response, but his intuition was so keen.

He found that after Raymond heard his question, his whole body suddenly tensed up involuntarily.

Allen raised his head in astonishment, and looked at Raymond in shock.

"Raymond?"

he asked.

Raymond's eyes flickered for a moment, and he lowered his eyes a little uneasily, avoiding Alan's gaze. This was the first time he had done so.

"Alan, in fact, I..."

Raymond stammered something.

But at this moment, the two medical officers, who had been standing aside and seemed extremely quiet, and their sense of presence had become very thin, suddenly interrupted the conversation between Allen and Raymond.

"Sir, I'm sorry to bother you, but it's time for treatment."

A medical officer raised the bracelet on his wrist and gestured.

Allen was taken aback, only to realize that the two medical officers had allowed Raymond to stay in his room for so long.

Of course, this is not the strangest thing. The strangest thing is that Allen found that he didn't even realize that when he was talking to Raymond, there were actually other people around him.

Allen completely and unconsciously ignored the existence of the two medical officers.

And once he realized this, Alan couldn't ask no matter how much he wanted to ask.

Likewise, he couldn't stop the two medical officers from taking Raymond out of his room.

Raymond's hesitation to speak, Mark Dom's special identity, his sudden appearance and departure, and of course, the strange behaviors of Raphael and Sakhir... everything made Alan feel Extremely bored and confused.

The moment Raymond followed the two medical officers out of the room dejectedly, Allen suddenly stepped forward and hugged Raymond tightly.

"Raymond, you have to be careful..."

Allen followed his instinct and whispered in Raymond's ear.

"Ellen!"

Raymond's figure shook, and his eyes turned red again.

It's just that the medical officer didn't give him a chance to talk to Allen this time. After another cold urging, they took Raymond out without hesitation.

Allen looked at Raymond's receding back, and the increasingly inexplicable uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.He subconsciously wanted to chase him out, but when he stepped out of the room, the bracelet on his wrist suddenly shook, showing a warning message.

[Mr. Alan Lockum, according to the temporary regulations of the A33001 law of the Virgo human military base, you need to stay in the living cabin now, please do not go out.We greatly appreciate your cooperation. 】

Immediately afterwards, the small guard robots that were dispatched by Rafael to protect Alan buzzed and stood in front of Alan.

Allen's face turned pale in an instant, and he finally understood what was going on with the "command" that Mark Dom made before leaving.

In a sense, Allen is now under house arrest...

It was at such a wrong time that the metal door closed again.

Allen stood in the empty living cabin in astonishment, feeling that his mind had become a pot of porridge.

"Macdom... what are you going to do?"

Allen looked at the warning on his wrist and murmured to himself.

……

In another office hundreds of meters away from Allen, Mark Dom sneezed.

He rubbed his eyebrows and let out a long sigh.

Just as Allen imagined, when he left the living cabin, he immediately returned to his original appearance.

(It's just that Mark Dom was a little suspicious all the way back to the office from the living area.)

That stupid and arrogant face was just a mask he could throw away, and now sitting in front of the middle man was a shrewd, calm, and cold-tempered man.

In this heavily guarded secret office, there are three other people besides him.

That's Rafael, Sajir, and...

"If my guess is correct, it must be his fanatic fans. This is him, no matter where he is, he can make people's minds collapse and their minds twisted."

Dulan sat on the soft sofa, lit a cigarette for himself, and then whispered to his colleague coldly.

"Dr. Duran, this matter has not been investigated at all."

After listening to his words, Rafael frowned and retorted dissatisfiedly.As a fan of Allen, he knew very well that Mason Passmore died at the hands of his fanatical fans, which dealt a huge blow to Allen.Although Allen was not present and could not hear Duran's ridicule, Rafael still subconsciously defended Allen.

"Oh, of course, in your mind, Alan is a perfect person. You are so crazy about him, of course you don't think he will do anything bad...as long as he doesn't instruct you to kill him. People who don't like it are fine, aren't they?"

Hearing Rafael's words, Duran shrugged his shoulders, and then sneered coldly.

"you……"

"According to calculations, Alan Morecambe did not know anything about the matter."

It was Mark Dom, who had the highest status in the entire office, who prevented Duran from confronting Rafael.

"Oh, really?"

Duran's face changed and he let out a sneer.He obviously didn't really believe this sentence, after all, in his heart, he knew Alan's nature better than anyone else.

But his skeptical inquiry didn't have any influence on Mark Dom.

Mark Dom reached out and tapped lightly on his external mirror frame. Following his tap, a holographic projection video suddenly appeared in the dark and quiet office.

It was Allen who was sitting in front of Mark Dom a few minutes ago, and the scene repeated happened to be the scene of Allen being interrogated.

It's just that unlike normal holographic projections, Allen's blood flow rate, body temperature, his heartbeat, and all his facial muscles were all captured by computers, and after digitization, Now it is densely spread all over the side of the projected image.

"According to my analysis, Alan Morecambe knew nothing about the homicide that happened on AK17 No. 390 this time. Moreover, he showed normal guilt for the identity of the victim and the origin of the perpetrator. Confused, helpless and even fearful.

He was judged innocent. "

Makdom repeated his point of view word by word and indifferently.

When he heard him, he didn't respond with any emotion. Duran, who had focused on pushing all the problems on Allen before, had a rather stiff expression.

He rolled his eyes, but he didn't make any new rebuttals like before.

"I also believe in the judgment of Chief Makdom.

After Raphael heard Mark Dom's analysis, a triumphant smile appeared on his face.

His words are full of trust in Mark Dom.

For a Security Bureau official, this kind of whole-hearted trust even seems a bit abnormal. After all, in the work of the Security Bureau, people do most of their work—analysis—analysis, and suspicion.

But this trust is placed on Makdom, but it seems to be in no way.

After all... Mark Dom is not an ordinary person.

Before today, Mark Dom was a legend code-named "Analyst" for Rafael and Sakhir.

In fact, for people throughout the Security Service, "Analyst" is an out-and-out legend.

An explosion many years ago transformed most of the “analyst’s” body into a machine. The existence of artificial electronic nerves gave Mark Dom the high-frequency analysis function of a smart computer, and the remaining human brain made him more powerful than a simple human being. Mechanical creatures can more accurately make judgments on complex human emotional feedback.

Over the years, with the blessing of data, no liar can hide from his eyes.

It's just that Rafael and Sakhir really didn't expect that such a "legend" would be the public security officer of the Tianmao Human Military Base-this position has always been By default, government officials or people from the military department will be in charge.

"Oh, in their eyes, I am from the military department."

Faced with the subordinate's inquiry, Mark Dom just replied indifferently.

Until today, neither Rafael nor Sakhir thought that they would have so many colleagues in the Tianmao human military base.

Apart from the fact that Mark Dom's identity made them so surprised, what surprised Rafael even more was Duran...

He really never thought that Duran would be a member of the Security Bureau anyway.

Duran's bad personality and his identity are incompatible with the professionalism required by the Security Bureau.

However, if you think about it from another angle, you can also understand Duran as a fairly successful member of the Security Bureau—after all, being able to hide your identity and work for so long at the headquarters of the military headquarters in the Tianmao Human Military Base is completely unsuspecting. Already a victory in itself.

According to Duran, if it weren't for the fact that things were too difficult this time, he wouldn't even need to jump out and reveal his identity.

——Different from the previous "cleaner" who was secretly dealt with by Raphael and Sakhir, this time the corpse that was cut into pieces by the cleaning robot due to an accident attracted the attention of many people in the base.

It would be fine if the identity of the corpse was clear, but it would be difficult for anyone who experienced the corpse to ignore the obvious black skull marks on the chest and arms of the corpse.

A professional assassin sent by the military to carry out missions at a military base is not a problem—but if the assassin dies in a rather bizarre way in full view of everyone without anyone knowing about it.

This is a big hassle.

In particular, everyone present has received an order from the highest level of the Security Bureau: Everyone needs to completely erase the traces of the Alliance Security Bureau's activities in the Tianmao human military base.

As the highest-ranking member of the Security Bureau present, Mark Dom did not give any explanation for this order.

Well, this will make peripheral members like Rafael uncontrollably think about it.

"Then we can basically conclude now that Allen has nothing to do with this matter. Maybe we can see the matter and focus on the true identity of the assassin and who killed him—"

Sakhir resisted the urge to sigh, and he opened his mouth just right, barely easing the sinister atmosphere of tit-for-tat in the office.

"We have to find the murderer and determine his identity, but the only thing we can be sure of now is that it wasn't someone from the Security Bureau who did it."

"It is also impossible to be the personnel inside the base. Once all active personnel enter the base, they will be under the supervision of the 'mother'. The 'mother' of the base is directly connected to the one in the core area of ​​the earth, unless it is directly covered from the core area. Data, no one can get out of surveillance and attack this guy."

Dr. Duran added lazily from the sidelines.

"It depends on the situation. If it is someone from the military background, it is very likely that they will tamper with the 'Mistress' system with the accomplices in the core area-they always do this."

Sakhir frowned.

"Are you saying that the garbage in the military department is killing each other? No, no... No. 1 'cleaner' was already before this guy died..."

When Rafael mentioned the corpse that he and Sakhir had cleaned up with his own hands, his expression turned ugly.

"Wait, does this mean that besides the two people we already know, there are still people in the military department operating? What do they want to do?"

"What else can you do, kill Raymond Morecambe so he won't talk nonsense, and kill your big star... in case he knows something too."

Duran muttered coldly.

"Duran—"

【"I will not leave Alan, I want to be by his side!"】

Just when Duran and Rafael were about to quarrel again because of Allen, Raymond's angry voice suddenly sounded in the office.

Duran and Rafael fell silent for a while, and looked back at the entire projection video that was being played back repeatedly by Mark Dom in the center of the room.

That was also the scene that was recorded in Allen's living cabin not long ago.

It's just that almost everyone's attention was focused on the dialogue between Mark Dom and Allen before, but now, it is obvious that Mark Dom has focused his analysis on Raymond Morecambe.

Everyone suddenly fell silent subconsciously. As bystanders, they watched Mark Dom and suddenly found out all the fragments about Raymond, and then once, twice, three times... non-stop Read repeatedly and analyze repeatedly.

In the end, Mark Dom moved his fingers slightly, and the holographic projection that was multiplied countless times stayed on Raymond's angry face.

Even if it was just an illusion, the man's distorted pale face and silver pupils still looked a little... scary.

"No way……"

And Rafael watched Raymond's face intercepted by Mark Dom, his face changed suddenly, and he whispered involuntarily.

After all, judging from Mark Dom's actions, he...

"Raymond Morecambe. There's something wrong with this man."

Mark Dom stared at the man's face in the darkness, and said coldly.
