When the research ship he had been looking for—the blue ship with a shape similar to a whale and a length of 600 meters—appeared in front of his eyes, Yang Ming was still shocked beyond measure.
Although in the game "Abyss", you can get a similar visual experience by just going to the deep space port for a while.
But this sense of reality, as well as the sense of oppression brought by the ship's hull, are completely incomparable to the simulated nerve signals generated by the holographic equipment.
Several small drones left the mothership and flew to the landing craft where Yang Ming and Dr. Lina were.
Seemingly sensing Yang Ming's nervousness, Dr. Lina reached out and covered the back of Yang Ming's hand with her soft palm. She leaned forward with her slender body and whispered to Yang Ming.
"Hanton, don't say anything to them, I will find a way to help you."
Yang Ming frowned and looked at Lina who was close at hand.
He thought there was going to be a wet kiss.
Doctor Lina continued to whisper in his ear: "I have a medical license recognized by the interstellar, and I am only a ship's doctor serving the crew. In the general interstellar principles, there is a clause that exempts doctors from guilt."
"Yeah," Yang Ming nodded.
His eyebrows twitched slightly, and he hesitated to speak, but he still said: "I should be detained by them. If you can get free, I may need some medicine."
Yang Ming is referring to gene stabilizers.
"Don't worry Hanton, I understand what you need. What you have to do now is to protect yourself. I know you have depression."
Lina signaled Yang Ming to remain silent, then returned to her normal sitting position, pulled the seat belt and buckled it firmly.
——Now their ships have been monitored by human beings.
Yang Ming followed suit and fastened his seat belt.
He thought that if he had fastened his seat belt easily before, he might have been able to avoid the impact injury just now, and Lina would not have discovered the fact that he had been transformed.
However, isn't Dr. Lina's reaction a bit weird?
She was too calm.
Four drones slowly approached, scanning Yang Ming and Lina with rays one after another. They should be conducting tests.
Only then did Yang Ming have the opportunity to soothe his tense nerves, staring blankly at the operating panel of the landing craft.
Every detail here reminds Yang Ming that he is Hanton now.
As soon as he had some free time, Yang Ming unconsciously began to think about the following questions:
The truth behind the game Abyss;
why the earth was destroyed;
Whether you have changed the future;
If the tragedy of the earth explosion has been changed, then he will naturally not be destroyed by the earth fire, and he will not be resurrected on the scientific research ship... This seems to be a time paradox.
The key to unraveling all mysteries is to find some connection between the world you are in at the moment and the game "Abyss".
This proposition was a bit complicated, and Yang Ming soon felt a headache.
What is certain now is that he has changed something.
The scientific research ship is gone, and the epic copy of "Lost Voice", a level 30 team of the imperial camp, no longer exists;
Kilgrove, who should have transformed himself, chose to reform Captain Hanton, and then Kilgrove detonated the anti-matter bomb, turning everything into nothingness.
Where did the change begin?
Yang Ming felt that it was when he ran to the bridge and said those two words after Valkyrie was knocked down by the sleeping gas.
That was the turning point of everything.
"Yes, the spaceship exploded," Yang Ming shrugged, "I can't say much else."
"Oh, what a tragedy!"
The middle-aged man showed sincere regret and sadness.
"If this accident was caused by our pursuit of you, then we have also shouldered a sin. Please forgive us for our persistence in safeguarding human rights. There are other ships that escaped, right? We will provide assistance to them as soon as possible."
Yang Ming had several questions in his heart.
Do people understand... are they so easy to talk to?
"But, Mr. Hanton, and this venerable doctor."
The middle-aged man said:
"We must temporarily isolate you, and you will be interrogated later.
"We are convinced that the research ship you were originally on was conducting extremely dangerous and unethical scientific and biochemical experiments.
"During the interrogation process, if we violate your basic rights, you can protest to us at any time, and we will decide through discussion whether to correct our behavior.
"Don't be nervous, you have been saved."
"Thank you for the rescue," Yang Ming responded in a low voice, but there was a murmur in his heart.
A few minutes later.
Surrounded by guards, Yang Ming and Lina walked through several silver-white corridors and arrived at a spacious cabin.
Dozens of inverted trapezoidal transparent glass rooms are arranged in a square array.
These glass rooms should be the 'cages' on the research ship. The conditions inside are very good, with a double sofa, a suspended entertainment screen, full wireless signals, and a thermostat filled with drinks and food.
You can even choose to make the glass on all sides opaque.
The leading middle-aged man asked politely: "Do you two want to stay together, or do you need to avoid suspicion?"
"We need to be together!"
Dr. Lina said nervously.
"Please choose your isolation room. Do you have any lucky numbers?"
"Just this one, the nearest one," Yang Ming randomly found a glass room, and Dr. Lina immediately followed.
Soon, the door of the glass room closed, and four soldiers stood in the four corners with guns.
Yang Ming sat on the soft sofa and looked at the ordering interface that popped up at his hand. For a moment...he didn't know how to describe it.
Is this the cell of the Human Rights and Ethics Commission of Inquiry?
Awesome, love it.
Yang Ming ordered two cups of coffee, lay comfortably on the sofa, and began to recall the information he had gained while playing "The Abyss" and searched Hanton's memory for introductions to human psychology.
The Human Council is a neutral organization affiliated with the Interstellar Court. It is not directly bound by any interstellar political system. It enjoys a high reputation in the galaxy and is a very troublesome existence for regional hegemons such as the Sherman Empire.
The Human Rights Council advocates the protection of individuals.
If it falls into the hands of the Human Council, the worst result is to be sent to the Interstellar Court. - The Interstellar Court is an institution jointly established by more than a hundred interstellar political bodies.
The one who really fears the human mind is Kilgrove, who can shut down his experiments.
After thinking about this, Yang Ming's sitting posture suddenly became more relaxed.
Yang Ming realized that he would most likely be taken back by the Sherman Empire;
If the news that he is a successfully transformed body spreads, the Sherman Empire will become his biggest threat next.
Will he be investigated?
Or will it be dealt with secretly?
Yang Ming calmly analyzed various possibilities. He felt that he might not have been exposed. Those who left before the battle in the tail cabin probably did not know about the temporary experiments conducted in the backup laboratory.
Lina was pacing, slightly anxious.
Dr. Lina was right to worry. The human survey ship found the other two escape boats without any effort.
Soon, survivors who had escaped from the scientific research ship gathered in a dozen nearby glass rooms.
There are more than 40 crew members, more than 20 researchers involved in genetic experiments, more than 20 cleaners and cooks, and more than a dozen injured Imperial soldiers.
Soldiers and researchers became the focus of attention.
When Yang Ming saw Mistress No. 1, she was also looking at Yang Ming lovingly, her eyes filled with the emotion of surviving the disaster.
This gave Yang Ming a wonderful expectation for the future.
Soon, the middle-aged man who had previously 'received' Yang Ming stood near the hatch with a group of more than a dozen middle-aged and elderly humans and humanoid intelligent life forms wearing human uniforms.
"Now, I ask the person with the highest position and military rank among you to step forward and accept our interrogation."
Survivors of the scientific research ship, look at me and I look at you.
A crew member replied in a low voice: "The person with the highest position now should be the only third mate left on our ship. He can represent us."
Yang Ming's expression was a little frozen.
"Very well, who is the third mate?"
The soldiers, crew, researchers, cleaners, and cooks of the empire all remained silent. Speaking at this time was tantamount to betrayal of Hanton.
"He, he is," Mistress No. 1 pointed to the glass room where Yang Ming was, "His name is Hanton, and he is also Professor Kilgrove's confidant."
