Chapter 24
Chapter 24
The quiet darkness is like a flowing liquid, surrounding Ludwell in every possible way.
The five senses seemed to be blocked by an invisible force, and there was no longer the passage of time in the world, except for the flowing night, everything suddenly stopped, he only felt that his body was ups and downs in the thick darkness, and there was no end to day in panic.
After an unknown amount of time, the darkness around him gradually faded away, and sparse light came from afar.
Without the slightest hesitation, Luther approached the light source almost instinctively.
When he reached out to touch the ball of light, he felt the flow of air for a long time, a very slight cool breeze.
There was a faint fragrance of flowers in the air, and the surrounding scenery gradually became brighter.
here is?
He should have appeared at the berth of the Imperial University, on the day Orland boarded the ship 30 years ago, but the surrounding scene was so strange that Luther frowned. The expected scene did not appear, and instead he He even stepped into the courtyard of a private manor.
The layout of the courtyard is very particular, as if it has been meticulously taken care of by a special person all year round. The blooming flowers, lush grass, and gentle slopes like mountains in the distance are just at dusk and sunset.
Judging from the direction of the sunset and the size of the star, Luther was keenly aware that he might no longer be on the capital star.
He was still wearing the close-fitting black combat uniform before he left, and it was obviously out of place to stand in this secluded courtyard at this time.
But Luther didn't care that much, he had already realized that some unexpected mistakes might have occurred during the shuttle.
But he didn't show any panic at all. Despite the accident, Luther was still very calm. He walked around the flower beds and shrubs vigilantly, slowly observing this strange courtyard.
All of a sudden, Luther felt that he stepped on a very hard object, and when he looked down, it turned out to be a small shovel.
Luther was taken aback. The size of the shovel was not like a work shovel that adults would use, but rather like a child's toy.
When he bent down to pick it up and was about to observe carefully, there was a barely detectable rustling sound from the bushes not far away.
Luther's eyes darkened, and he quietly approached behind the swaying bushes.
But when he brushed past the bushes, a thin figure in front of him made Luther stop suddenly.
The scene in front of him made Luther's pupils shrink slightly. At that moment, he only felt that the frozen time in his fate suddenly began to flow.
A young boy was squatting under a piece of pure white stars. The boy had jaw-length black hair with slightly curled ends.
As if sensing the movement behind him, the boy turned around like a frightened little rabbit.
At the moment when he saw the little boy clearly, Luther was stunned for a moment, and saw the boy was staring at him blankly with red eyes, the amber eyes were full of water, and tears glistened A teardrop fell down with a bang.
At that moment, Luther panicked for no reason.
He walked slowly towards the little boy, and as the distance between the two continued to get closer, a fainter fragrance than he remembered made Luther's heart sink. This was the smell of Olan's omega pheromone.
But softer and subtler than the memory, compared to the elegant and charming after sexual maturity, the pheromone taste of the juvenile omega in front of me has more fragrant and soft milky taste out of thin air.
"Olan?" Luther softened his voice, tentatively calling the omega boy in front of him.
Little Olan seemed to have cried just now, his eyes were slightly red, and his expression was still a little confused. He didn't know the very tall blond brother in front of him, but the other party knew his name.
Seeing that Oran stared blankly at him without answering, Luther had no choice but to squat down and softly called Oran's name.
As an adult alpha, Luther was extremely tall, close to 1.9 meters, but the little boy in front of him was thin and small, and seemed to be not as long as his legs.
So when he squatted in bed, he discovered that the omega boy had a white flower pinned to his chest, which was a marigold used for funerals. Luther realized later that he had accidentally returned to the The year Oran was six years old.
I don't know if it's because of the difference in body shape between alpha and omega. The omega boy in front of him is only four or five years old at most. At this time, he is looking at him timidly, with two small fists tightly clenched on the legs of his shorts, pitiful Xi's appearance made Luther's heart soften for no reason.
Luther sighed softly, patted his legs, and called softly: "Olan, come here, come to brother."
At that time, little Olan was actually a little shy of strangers, but he was not afraid of the alpha youth in front of him. He even felt that the strange big brother in front of him didn't seem to be a bad person.
He heard Luther calling his name, so he bravely walked up to Luther.
Luther quietly looked at little Oran in front of him, only to see that Oran's eyes were still red, and there were some tears in the corners of his eyes, and his amber eyes looked at him timidly.
This kind of Oran made Luther's gaze instantly tinged with tenderness. He gently raised his hand to hold little Oran's cheek that was still a little baby fat, and wiped away the tears on Omega's face with his thumb.
As an omega in a noble family, not to mention the noble background, just because of this lovely and beautiful appearance, she was raised with care and care by the people around her since she was a child, which also makes little Olan actually born a bit Simple and delicate.
Although the family members have warned him not to talk to strangers casually, especially the tall alpha uncle, brother, and of course aunt and sister.
But when the simple-minded Oran saw the blond-haired elder brother wipe his face, all the fear in his heart dissipated in an instant. After deciding that the other party was a good person, Oran didn't admit it at all.
He hadn't seen his parents for several days, and the servants at home said that they would never come back again. Olan was still too young at that time, and he couldn't clearly understand the meaning of death. Until today, a strange man came to the funeral His grandfather, who claimed to be the real grandfather he had never met, wanted to take him to live with him in the capital.
Little Oran didn't want to leave his hometown where he had lived for six years at all, let alone waiting for his parents to come back here, he didn't want to go to the Duke's Mansion in Capital Xing.
Little Olan was a little angry because of this, but the adults were too busy entertaining the guests at the funeral, so they didn't have the time to worry about the unhappy young master Omega.
Olan, who was neglected, was a little sad. When the funeral was over and the guests left one after another, he ran to the backyard alone, and saw the flowers in the garden that his mother had taken care of. Olan's eyes were red, and he squatted under the stars. Woohoo cried.
This is the first time he understands the feeling of loneliness. He misses his parents. He has lived in fear these days. He doesn't know where his parents have gone, but he understands ignorantly that no one will love in this world anymore. him.
He didn't know how long he had been crying, but no one came to look for him until sunset. This fact made little Oran even more sad, so when he saw Luther, he was actually a little wronged.
Luther gently wiped his tears away, which made Oran feel even more wronged.
As soon as he curled his lips, he clenched his small fists and twisted his arms around Luther's neck, and threw himself into his arms and said in a childlike voice:
"Brother, I'm hungry."
This sound was quite suspected of being coquettish, but it was very coquettish.
Luther was frightened by little Oran's sudden hug, his whole body stiffened, the tip of his nose smelled of Oran's milky pheromone, and the child in his arms was also limp.
Luther had almost no experience with children. He didn't know how to coax children at all, so he hugged little Oran in his arms, let him sit on his strong arms, and led others to stand up.
He looked around the courtyard, only to find a fruit-bearing peach tree beside the lake. He lowered his head and said to little Olan in his arms, "Brother, can I pick peaches for you?"
Hearing the word peach, Oran's amber eyes lit up, and then she nodded her head pretending to be reserved.
The lakeside in the courtyard is not wide, but the water quality is very clear. A pair of black swans led five or six newborn cubs on the surface of the water at dusk, and they walked leisurely into the reeds.
On the side, one big and one small were sitting on the grass, holding a plump and juicy peach in their hands, and little Olan was eating small bites at the side, sneaking a sneak peek at the big blond brother beside him from time to time.
Luther was taken aback by him, he quickly finished the peach in his hand, wiped his mouth slowly, and turned his head to look back at the kid beside him who was peeping at him.
Little Olan's cheeks were flushed by him, so he was a little embarrassed and asked, "Brother, are you a mech warrior?"
Luther didn't expect Oran to ask this question. He was stunned for a moment, then looked down at the combat uniform and military boots on his body and at the little omega beside him, and said with a light smile, "Well, if it goes well If you go back."
Olan didn't quite understand the meaning of Luther's words, so he just asked blankly, "Brother, where did you come from? Is it far away?"
Luther was taken aback when he heard the words, and didn't know how to answer for a moment. He pondered for a long time before saying quietly: "Well, it's far, far away, a place called the future."
Oran was puzzled, "Can you go to the future by making a spaceship?"
Luther shook his head, "The future is too far away, you have to travel through time and space."
Olan was stunned for a moment, "They all said that my parents have gone far, far away. Did they go to my brother's hometown?"
This question finally overwhelmed Luther. The child's thinking was always jumping, and Luther was speechless about this question.
Seeing that Luther was silent, Oran continued to ask: "Why don't they come back to find Oran? Don't they want Oran anymore? Will Oran be alone in the future?"
When Olan asked these questions that had troubled him for a long time, his eyes were red again, and tears slowly filled his eyes, and the tears fell down like pearls.
Luther couldn't bear it. He couldn't say anything to deceive Olan. He could only stretch out his big palm to gently cover Olan's soft hair, and comforted softly: "Don't cry, Olan."
He gently wiped away the falling tears of little Oran with his fingers, and said slowly and helplessly: "Olan, when you grow up, you will meet someone who likes you. He looks exactly like your brother, Olan , you have to remember the appearance of your brother. When you meet him, you have to remember to say hello to him. He doesn't like to talk to people, but he is always waiting for you. He loves you very much, you know? You have to remember He won't be willing to leave you alone."
The light of the sky gradually dimmed, the sun set, the light of the stars gradually disappeared in the sky, and the darkness thickened, as if it was the same as when it came. Luther had a hunch that it was time, he should go back.
He bent down and kissed the top of Olan's hair lightly, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, Olan, it's time for my brother to leave."
"Is brother going back?" Olan fluttered his eyes, holding Luther's index finger with his small fist reluctantly.
"Yes." Luther nodded.
"Will Oran see his brother again in the future?"
Luther smiled, "Of course, Olan, one day, we will meet."
Olan seemed a little unconvinced. He suddenly stretched out his small hand, took a pendant from his neck, and handed it to Luther, "Brother, this is for you. Don't lie to me. You have to return this to Luther next time we meet." Oran, are you okay?"
The moment he saw the crystal pendant like sea water, Luther's expression froze for a moment, and he carefully took the pendant from Oran.
At that moment, he suddenly understood that it wasn't that Oran didn't own the spar pendant, he just gave it to an alpha youth he met at dusk and sunset.
In an instant, darkness surrounded everything, and all voices disappeared. Luther held the pendant that was still warm in his hand, and stood alone in the boundless darkness. His eyes were deeply gloomy. , he looked at the direction where Oran disappeared and didn't turn around. He didn't close his eyes until the deep sleepiness came to his mind.
The hypnotic gas in the cabin was gradually evacuated, and the glass cover automatically popped open when the internal and external pressures were balanced. The laboratory was so quiet that a needle could be heard, and more than a dozen quantum guns silently surrounded the entire sleep cabin.
A few seconds later, Luther woke up. When he opened his eyes, there was no drowsiness or surprise in his gray-blue eyes. He watched the king's guards pointing their guns at the king soberly and calmly. his heart.
The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke. During the tense moment, Luther asked the man standing behind the gun in a deep voice, "Father, what are you doing?"
