【Hammer Base】Until the Abyss

The sound of traffic below brought Loki back from his daze to reality.

The black-haired Omega bit her lip tightly, and it took dozens of seconds to accept everything in front of her.He was no longer as rash and panicked as he was more than a month ago.The recent shocks made Loki deeply aware that during the nearly ten years since he lost his memory, the world around him has undergone earth-shaking changes, especially in this city full of unknowns, where anything can happen.

He calmed down and quickly examined his clothes. He first put the trousers that were rolled up to his knees to his ankles, then pulled up the hood behind his sweatshirt to cover his head and face, and finally took out a cigarette in the corner of his lips—after all, Zone A is not suitable for pure Omega who go out to exercise in the afternoon.

The agent collected himself and found a passage to join the city in Area A below.

The atmosphere here is quite different from District D. If District D is a small, harmonious and peaceful seaside town with few people, District A is a crowded and sinful metropolis.There is only a 30-meter high wall, and the two sides of the wall are two completely different worlds.

When Loki descended to the ground level of Area A (that is, the seventh floor underground), this feeling became more and more real.

It is said that it is the negative seven floors, but it is actually only relative to the D area.Because if area D is used as a reference, the overall ground level drops by about 30 meters.Looking at the whole area A from top to bottom, it looks like a forest full of tall buildings. If you go deep into it, you can feel the suffocating and depressing feeling here.

Loki looked up at the narrow sky squeezed into a line by the "Handshake Buildings"—

He keenly discovered that District A is divided into low-end consumption area and high-end area for the convenience of people of different classes to come to this huge black market for shopping and enjoyment.

The buildings in the low-end consumer area are extremely close together. Although they are not dilapidated, the distance between them is even less than two meters. The distance between them is so close that people in the two buildings can hold hands by opening the windows.This makes the lower the building, the less sunlight can leak into the building, and the entire low-end consumption area is in a kind of gloomy relaxation all day long.Coupled with the neon lights and billboards that can be seen side by side when you look up, the feeling of suffocation blows your face, making people sink into this place more and more, and the atmosphere of sin, mold and decay becomes more intense.

The high-end area one or two kilometers away from here is another scene.That was what he had seen while standing on the viaduct in Zongheng District A.The resplendent skyscrapers, the large screen and the sightseeing elevator that run from the upper floors to the ground from a distance.Presumably there must be casinos full of luxuries, high-end clubs where you can play any game, and luxury hotels where you can call for any service.

Area A is indeed a paradise for crime and lust.

Loki walked silently on the narrow road in the low end area.

It was evening, and the neon lights lit up one by one.Let him have a panoramic view of drug dealers peddling drugs and drug dealers on the side of the road, prostitutes in three-pointed clothes, and even modified guns, parts and ammunition are sold on the stalls that have been sold.

If he were a criminal policeman like Laufey, he would probably be able to complete a year's arrest mission by finding an alley and killing them one by one, right? Loki couldn't help thinking.

Fortunately, he is just an agent who handles dirty affairs for JNSA, and he doesn't have such occupational diseases.

But observation is observation, and what Loki thinks most about is how to return to Area D safely.

Coming here across the zone was purely unexpected, and even if it was possible to find an escape route, he couldn't have left Narve and Vali alone.In contrast, the agent doesn't take Thor's tricks on him very much.

The reason is simple: a series of things such as marking and combining are not in his memory. As an agent, he himself chose to trust after waking up, so it is no wonder that the arms dealer put himself on the sidelines.At best, this is a white lie that Thor didn't want him to leave D area to take risks. At worst, it's just the inference that "I didn't come here voluntarily" before.

And maybe...he didn't really want to imagine the latter possibility.

The former agent took a deep breath, trying to suppress the strange feeling in his heart.

In short, investigating Area A to understand the city, and then finding a way to return to Area D safely, is the current primary goal.

However, Loki noticed another thing: Even if there is a mixture of fish and dragons, the low-end consumption area of ​​Area A, which has more and more people as time goes by, does not have the overly strong pheromone smell of Area D.

At the beginning, the pheromones in the D area were so thick that Loki often felt dizzy, and several times he even needed to lean against Thor's arms and inhale the breath of his own Alpha in order to avoid the overly strong pheromones. The inhibitors commonly sold in the D area did not have the effect of suppressing the smell, and its only function was probably to prevent the Omega from estrus on the road.

Loki suddenly thought of something, quickly dodged to a narrow alley, raised his arm and sniffed his clothes.

He didn't smell himself.

This shows that at least in terms of inhibitors, the one Thor prepared will indeed not allow him to leak out his personal smell of information-it will not make him look like a "walking hormone" outside the D area.

But he didn't understand, since Thor didn't hesitate to cheat the chip because he was afraid of him escaping, why did he give him a real and effective inhibitor?

Before Loki could figure it out, however, a voice from the corner caught the attention of the black-haired agent.He turned his head and saw a familiar yellow figure.

It was the Omega who was caught in Zone D!

Poor Omega has woken up, and is being held by two guards in black riot suits and bulletproof helmets. The weapons they are equipped with are far more exaggerated than the guards in D area, like two fierce The vicious dog, holding the defenseless Omega, walked through the crowded low-end area.

But no one along the street expressed doubts about this, at most because of the strong pheromone emitted by Omega, and they kept blowing unscrupulous whistles.

Omega was obviously frightened, and there was no blood on his pale face.It was not known whether it was because of the medication or because he was overly frightened, but he couldn't speak, nor could he yell.He just struggled weakly a few times on the way forward, and continued to be held forward by the guards.

The agent narrowed his eyes. Since it was the second meeting, he had to figure out where this Omega would be sent.

He followed carefully.

When crossing the next street, Loki changed into a black jacket that came along. The slim fit jacket made him look more like an unfriendly gangster, and the messy black hair that fell to his cheeks also covered up the overly Omega handsome face.

He followed two guards to a... strip club.

Or a brothel would be more appropriate?

"Tsk." Loki suppressed the bad feeling in his heart, and cautiously stepped into the door with a poster of a sexy naked man stroking his thigh.

After turning two turns into the entrance, he raised his hand and opened the colorful curtain at the entrance, and the loud music immediately rang in his ears.The lights in the club were so dim that it was difficult to see faces clearly. The main light source of the entire hall was concentrated on a few laser lights that were constantly changing colors and rotating on the ceiling.

Although the facade of this club is small, the interior is very impressive.

There are three silver steel pipes on the huge stage directly in front of them, and three half-naked gigolos are coiled around the steel pipes, posing in various slutty poses.There is one who holds the steel pipe tightly with both hands, leaning upside down to vaguely reveal her private parts; one who shakes her hips and kneels to lure clients to touch her nipples, and stuffs money into the only black panties left; the last one opens her mouth to show her Tongue nails, and then turned his back to the audience in the audience and swung his electric buttocks.

The edge of the hall is surrounded by a circle of "cages". Modern glass covers and retro iron cages are alternately interspersed. Each cage houses a half-naked and beautiful Omega.You can pay a small amount of money and get a nearby prop to shock, beat or tease them, or you can pay more to open the cage and take people away to enjoy all night.

All the Omega here are just commodities.

Loki collected himself, subconsciously pulled up his collar to cover the glands at the back of his neck, and searched for the guards blocked by the crowd.Fortunately, he didn't get lost, and he noticed that two guards carried "Lamb" into a corridor at the back of the hall.

The agent pushed through the crowd and followed without attracting anyone's attention.

The backstage corridor should be the office area.Fortunately, even if the noise in a part of the hall is cut off, the volume of music resounding throughout the club can still cover Loki's footsteps well.He approached cautiously, turned a few turns and went down about one floor, to a place at the end of the corridor where a plastic curtain hung.

Different from the modern and electronic feel of the lobby, the office area in the basement is more like an old air-raid shelter splashed with blue-green paint, and the exposed water pipes vibrate slightly with the music upstairs.

Through the plastic curtain, Loki can see what looks like a dentist's couch.

That Omega was kneeling and shivering under the guard's pressure, and a pair of pointed leather shoes appeared in the innermost position.

"It's him?" The pointed leather shoes reached out and pinched Omega's jaw.

One of the guards nodded, and he opened the shield on the outside of the helmet and said: "It was sent from Area D, it was discarded, and it looks good, so I sold it to you."

"I don't accept everything." The pointed leather shoes probably wanted to lower the price. "The things sent out from the D area have always been troublesome, you don't know. This..." He patted Omega's cheek, his hair crisp With a very humiliating voice, "Is the brainwashing complete? Don't go crazy again with me, and scare the guests again."

Another guard impatiently stretched out his hand and patted the treatment bed heavily: "Wash it again if it's not clean, otherwise what do you need this machine for?"

"No...don't, don't, I don't want it, please—!" Omega, who was kneeling on the ground, probably understood what was being done to him, and immediately struggled in fright. He actually hugged a guard's thigh.

"Fuck!" The guard was furious and kicked him in the chest heavily.

The other was puzzled, took out a police electric shock baton and hit the Omega hard on the shoulder.

The unlucky lamb fell to the ground in response, and could only curl up into a ball mournfully and cry.

And just before the guards did more violence to this unlucky ghost, the communicator of the guard who opened the helmet shell rang, and the sound of "beep beep" even echoed in this gloomy basement.The guard was very dissatisfied with the suspension of the transaction, so he turned on the communicator after cursing.

A clear instruction came from the communicator: "Instruction from the superior, immediately take No. 0893 in Area D to the inspection center."

Inspection center?

Loki, who had been squatting outside listening, frowned.

The three people in the room also fell silent, but Omega, who was lying limply on the ground, thought it was a turning point, and got up from the ground as if seeing hope, supporting his trembling body with thin arms, and his chest heaved excitedly because of a temporary glimmer of life.

But Loki could clearly see the pointed leather shoes sarcastically spreading his hands.

"Well, it looks like the deal is over!"

The two guards looked at each other, and the agent could see the gloomy expression on the face of the guard who opened the shield.

"Didn't they all say that it would be discarded?" one person said.

"How do I know, Thor has always been strict." The other shivered visibly, as if afraid of something.

But Loki couldn't care less about watching the two of them anymore, because the name being read made his blood run cold.

...Thor?

**

Of course he knew that Thor was working for Thanos, and he also knew that the other party lied to him about the chip.But subconsciously, he was still willing to believe: the blond Alpha did this out of white lies.

Loki knew that he was an agent of the JNSA, and he knew that Thor was actually just a gangster in the file to him.In his lost memory of nearly a decade, he neither knew Thor nor the past between them.However, the agent's instinct, subjective will, and various emergencies that followed recently made the former agent finally choose to trust Alpha when he had no time to care about him. Loki didn't think his judgment would really deviate to such an extent.

After all, Thor has repeatedly expressed his love, took him to see the arsenal, and did things for him far more than ordinary "kidnappers". They also have two lovely children.

Unable to figure it out, Loki chose to trust the other party.

He thought they were honest with each other.

But that being the case, why did Thor lie to himself, saying that he was on a business trip to the outside world?

Even if Alpha made it clear that he was working in Area A, he wouldn't bother too much about the current situation.Since he is in Area A, why has there been no news from Thor for more than half a month?

Many doubts were churning in the secret agent's heart.

Before the two guards pushed the Omega out again, Loki quickly returned the same way, found a hidden corner halfway, climbed onto the water pipe on the zenith and swung upwards, and his dexterous body was hidden among the water pipes.When the two guards pressed the Omega over one after the other, he took advantage of the cover of the corner, jumped down suddenly when the music hit an accent, and clamped the throat of the guard behind with his knees.

The intruding attack made the guard strangled to death by the black-haired agent's thigh without even making a sound.

Loki quickly caught the fallen guard and dragged him into the toilet not a few steps away.He had to move fast, even if he was wearing a helmet and had the influence of music, another guard would soon notice the anomaly.

He dragged the corpse into the toilet compartment, and quickly took off the other party's anti-riot suit.

And just as he was putting on the riot suit, another guard shouted rudely from the corridor.

"Dalton, what the hell are you dawdling about?!"

Loki was already prepared, he adjusted his voice, pressed his fingers slightly to imitate the voice of the guard named Dalton: "Toilet, you have to allow people to go to the bathroom!"

"Hurry up, then, and don't keep your goddamn ass in the strip club for too long. You think Mr. Thor's patience is good?"

The name undoubtedly made Loki's heart tighten again, and he put on the riot suit more and more neatly.

Before leaving, the agent picked up a half-bottle of beer that someone had left on the sink, and poured it on the body in the cubicle where he stripped off his jacket and put him in a toilet posture. Area A is a criminal's paradise, no one will care too much about a drunk who died in the club toilet one night.

The black-haired Omega buckled the wall of the helmet to ensure that the other party could not see his face before opening the door outside the toilet.He said in Dalton's voice, "Let's go."

Let's go, take him to meet that dreaded Mr. Thor.

Thor is not in the low-end consumer zone.

They bound the unlucky Omega's hands and feet with an electronic lock, and threw him into the back seat of a police car. Omega couldn't stop crying, and even begged to go back to his Alpha named Mack.

Loki was sitting in the co-pilot with complicated emotions, because he clearly remembered the other party shouting "I was arrested" on the stairs of the studio in Area D.This Omega is not voluntary, but now he is willing to return to the perpetrator in order to escape punishment.

The complex and cruel environment of Thanos' city was far beyond his imagination, but in the past month or so, his life in District D can be called happy and peaceful.

——A regular life, a hopeful escape plan, an Alpha who treats himself very well and two lovely children.

Loki turned his head abruptly, looking at the passing lights outside the car window, as well as the arms stores that were left behind because the car was moving forward, and the drug addicts leaning in the shadows, once again felt that the reality in front of him was separated from his previous life into cruel and absurd two.

"Hey, are you okay?" the guard who was driving suddenly said at this moment.

"I am fine."

"Thor is attacking them, what are you afraid of?"

Loki changed his mind: "...you are not afraid, what are you worried about?"

"Tsk! That inhuman butcher!" The guard patted the steering wheel, then looked at the Omega in the rear seat through the rearview mirror, "It's a pity, this one looks pretty good."

Loki purses his lips, wondering what Thor, whom the murderous guards call "The Butcher," will be like.

They drove the car to the central area. Area A is a fan shape, so its central area is the core position where the four areas A, B, C, and D are connected.For District D, this core location is the city center, with several large shopping malls, which are connected by lengthy fully enclosed sky bridges, and you can also see the giant tree landscape below.When he was brainwashed, Loki always took the children to play on weekends, and Narve also joked about whether there were ancient tombs hidden in the giant tree forest.

Loki just laughed at that, but never really thought about what was hidden by the giant tree.

Hidden are the basement floors of several other area buildings.

Since the overall terrain of District A is more than 20 meters lower than District D, the so-called "underground floors" are actually the 1st to 7th floors of District A, and there is a front entrance in District A. Loki got out of the car and closed the car door, looking at the rather modern but cold building in front of him, he let out a foul breath.

When standing in the elevator with the Omega pressed, as the elevator rises, you can clearly see the bustling night scene of District A - there are six or seven storey viaducts criss-crossing, and all kinds of people come here to have fun on the bridge man's luxury car.Street lights and neon lights complement each other, and the large screens in the high-end consumer area on the right hand side display advertisements for major casinos and auctions.The crowded buildings on the left are like the abyss of hell that covers all the evils of the bottom society.

The flashy and extravagant appearance and the completely undisguised criminal paradise make the entire A district look like a poppy flower in full bloom.

"Ding--"

The elevator has arrived.

Loki and another guard pressed Omega's side and walked towards the inspection center on the top floor.

The brown-haired Omega sensed that something was wrong, and struggled violently, shouting "No, no, please!"

They almost dragged him in.

The electronic door opened in response to the guard's ID verification, and Loki saw a room that looked like a science laboratory.

However, before Loki could react, an extremely familiar voice sounded behind him.The owner of the voice has an aura and coercion that he didn't have at home.The man paced in, and his leather shoes stepped on the black glass-like ground, making a dull sound that made the heart tense.

"Did you bring number 0893?"

Loki visibly sees the guard shudder beside him.

The guard reported stiffly, "Yes, Mr. Thor."

The blond-haired Alpha glanced over sullenly, and even Loki pursed his lips unconsciously.

Thor looked at the Omega who was barely standing, and asked, "You said you remembered, tell me, what did you remember?"

"No...no, no. I forgot everything, sir." Omega was clearly crying, his head was still dizzy, and he couldn't remember anything except the name Mack. "I will serve my Alpha well, I promise..."

"That depends on whether your Alpha still needs you." Thor motioned to the innermost machine. "Take him to the instrument."

"Don't...don't!" Omega cried and struggled.

Loki squeezed the other's hand and paused.

The guard next to him hurriedly bumped him with his elbow.

At this moment, even if the agent is unwilling, he has no other choice but to press the Omega to the depths of the laboratory with the guard. He imitated the guard and pressed the Omega to the detector connected to the wall at the end of the laboratory. The hands and feet on the side of the person are stuffed into the metal lock.

Not sure if he was not skilled enough, Thor gave him a clear look.

The Omega on the stage was already frightened with eyes straightened.

Thor came over and activated the authority of the instrument with his fingerprint, and the transparent glass cover slowly moved forward from the back until it completely covered the brown-haired lamb.The instrument began to scan him from top to bottom, and Omega let out a panicked cry for help.

Loki takes a deep breath, noticing Thor's indifference.

The inspection results came out soon, and there were a bunch of data on the screen that Loki didn't quite understand, but there were two items that he could understand.

37% autonomy, and 19% connectedness.

Thor's deep voice was like a knife sharpening everyone's hearts: "It seems that your Alpha doesn't care about your life, the correlation is 19%, only a little better than strangers."

"No, he, he cares about me very much! He brought me back! I am a painter, and he robbed me. I have been with him for three years! How can he not care about me?"

Thor's blue eyes were deep and bottomless: "You remember it?"

"..." Omega was like a chicken being choked for a moment, he choked for a long time before he could squeeze out the words, "I... no, only a few pictures..."

Thor shakes his head. "No, you know too much."

At his words, the blond Alpha reached out and typed something into the machine that Loki didn't understand.I saw that all the data on the screen completely disappeared, leaving only the final result: Replaceable.

This Omega is a "substitute".

"No!"

"It seems that there is a judgment result. Send it to the decomposition department. His organs are all intact, including the skin, which can be sold. The painter... the retina will be auctioned. He is not very old, so he can sell it for a good price."

The brown-haired Omega was so frightened that he lost control of himself.

"Ah—don't kill me, Please!"

Thor doesn't even look at him.

Thanos only needs things of value, and the city doesn't need disobedient people.The end of the detector leaning against the wall suddenly rotated open, revealing a dark passage just enough for a person to pass through. Even through the wall, Loki could feel the blow from the gloomy hole through the broken hair on the side of Omega's cheek. Gale.

It is said to be a channel, but it is more like a garbage disposal pipeline sliding into the abyss.

Omega was struggling frantically, and a metal probe suddenly protruded from the instrument he was lying on, and the sharp probe plunged into his arm, pulling out a bloody chip.

"what!"

Accompanied by a shrill scream, the metal locks binding Omega's hands and feet bounced off at this moment, and Omega's fist immediately smashed into the wall from inside.He kicked, roared, burst into tears, and the dull "boom, boom" sound of beating on the transparent wall was like the last hopeless cry.

too late.

In the next second, the instrument pushed his body, and with a shrill scream, Omega was pushed into the invisible abyss.

When the hole was closed again, only a bloody chip was left lying inside alone.

And Thor sat aside with no expression on his face, the transparent screen of the instrument still displayed the cruel judgment scanned from the chip——

Replaceable, can be replaced.
