Shadow of Deep Space

Chapter 496 Grievance
Blacks nodded slightly and replied.

"Yes, it is very suitable for Ilinyas. With this gun, Ilinyas's combat power can be improved to a higher level."

"Ah."

Su Ming replied with a smile.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Come with me to get a full body check-up to see your physical condition."

Blacks said calmly.

"it is good!"

Su Ming then followed Blacks and left.

Celis, Boden and others quickly followed.

A moment later, they returned to the central laboratory and came to a new type of biological detection machine.

Blacks said to Su Ming calmly.

"Lie down on that main detection instrument."

"Ah."

Su Ming lay down very cooperatively.

At this time, Alice and the other two also came over from a distance and watched Su Ming undergoing a physical examination.

Blacks entered a series of commands to start the inspection equipment.

hum~
The huge device started to work and began to scan Su Ming's body in all directions. Then a holographic body status thumbnail projection emerged.

The thumbnail projection of Su Ming's body was also bright red, and the values ​​marked on it were all off the charts.

One red prompt box pops up.

"Warning: SCX contamination value exceeds the upper limit."

When Boden and others saw the displayed data, they all looked incredulous.

“Why are the pollution numbers so high?”

"Such a high value, but there is no mutation."

"It's incredible."

"Haha, you guys are exactly the same as Dr. Olga from the Kingdom of Apocalypse said, you're all fake."

Celis said with a smile.

"Olga is not a fake. He is my senior and one of the great figures in the scientific community."

Blacks turned his head and spoke coldly to Celis.

"Ah? I thought that old man was just bragging, but I didn't expect him to be so powerful?"

Celis was also very surprised.

"There's nothing strange about that. He is not well-known now because the royal family of the Apocalypse Kingdom was destroyed and he defected. Naturally, he faded out of the scientific community."

Blacks said as he reached over and shut down the inspection equipment.

At this time, Su Ming came down from checking the equipment and said to Blacks.

"Lord Blacks, is the contamination of my body a problem?"

"It's very troublesome, Celis, what treatment plan did Olga use on Su Ming?"

Blacks turned his head and looked at Celis and asked.

"I'll pass it to you!"

Celis then projected the treatment plan.

Blacks took a glance and was also quite surprised.

"Yes, they even used the blood of the star spirits. It's really a huge investment. Olga's treatment plan is fine."

"There's nothing wrong with his treatment plan, so why can't the blood be lowered?"

Celis was also startled.

"It's overloaded with pollution, it's deep into our bones, and conventional treatments are no longer effective."

Blacks directly pointed out the key point.

"Then how to treat it?"

When Su Ming heard this, he also asked with a frown.

"There are two options. The first is a long-term customized treatment to suppress the pollution bit by bit. But it will take a long time, and you can't touch the biological machine during this period."

"What about the second one?"

"The second method is to use V-type gene medicine to strengthen yourself and suppress the pollution. However, the V-type gene medicine I am developing has not been successful yet, and the risk is extremely high!"

Blacks said in a deep voice.

"Oh, what do I think? It's just a V-type gene drug. I secretly read Dr. Olga's database. He has the data on the newly developed V-type gene drug by the Kingdom of Apocalypse."

“Well done, Celis.”

Su Ming looked at Celis in surprise. He didn't expect that she actually got the information of the V-type gene medicine developed by the Kingdom of Apocalypse. He remembered that Andefa had told him that he had used the V-type gene medicine.

"No big deal, Blacks. I'll send you the information. Just make one according to the instructions. No need to thank me specially."

Celis transmitted the information of the genetic medicine to Blacks.

Blacks raised his bracelet and tapped it a few times, projecting the data transmitted by Celis in front of him.

The dense data made everyone dizzy.

Blacks reached down and looked at the data of the V-type gene medicine developed by the Kingdom of Apocalypse.

Su Ming and others waited quietly.

After about an hour, Blacks snorted and said.

"Humph, I thought they had developed some V-gene medicine, but after all this time it turns out they are just not human. That's easy!"

"Not a human being? What's going on?"

Su Ming asked in confusion after hearing what Blacks said.

"To put it bluntly, the main gene components of the gene potion we are developing now are extracted from monsters, and the monster genes are fused with human genes. The principle is simply to weaken the divinity of the monster genes so that human genes can devour the monster genes and take the lead! But it is easier said than done. The more advanced the gene potion, the more advanced the monster form used. And the stronger the genes stripped from these monsters, the more difficult it is for human cells to compete. The V-type gene potion developed by the Kingdom of Apocalypse has not completely eradicated this problem. People who use it will mutate sooner or later and are no longer human at all."

Blacks explained in a cold voice.

"No, they dared to take out this kind of gene medicine and pretend it was the V-type gene medicine? Did the generals of the Kingdom of Apocalypse dare to inject it?"

Su Ming said with a dark face.

"What's so strange about that? When you don't know enough, you won't think there's anything wrong. You'll just think it's an orthodox V-type gene drug."

Blacks explained coldly.

"What should we do now? Where can we get the V-type gene medicine for Su Ming to use?"

Celis asked helplessly, seeing that her hopes were dashed.

"There is no better way now. We can only wait until my V-type gene medicine is perfected."

Blacks said coldly.

"How long will it take?"

"Not sure. Although I have used various methods to weaken the divinity of the monster's genes, it is still not ideal and still cannot reach the minimum standard for human injection."

"That doesn't mean I didn't say anything."

Celis replied with a sigh.

When Su Ming heard this, his expression changed, and then he said to Blacks.

"Lord Blacks, I have a guess, but I don't know if I should tell you."

"you say!"

Blacks turned his head and looked at Su Ming and said.

"Is it possible that there is nothing wrong with the V-type gene potion you developed? As you said, you have already reduced the divinity of the monster gene to a minimum. The real problem is us. We cannot meet the injection standards."

Su Ming said to Blacks.

When Blacks heard Su Ming's words, his thoughts suddenly became clear, and he felt as if a new world had opened up.

"You mean, there is nothing wrong with the development of the V-type gene drug, but the problem is humans. The V-type gene drug itself is not something that ordinary people can inject."

"Yes, that's what I mean!"

"According to the test results, if it is an extremely rare third-generation new human, it may be able to withstand it."

"Three generations of new humans? How were they born?"

When Su Ming saw Blacks mentioned the third generation of new humans, he asked curiously.

"People with normal mutations are called second-generation new humans. They have physical qualities and intelligence that surpass those of natural humans. Third-generation new humans are further mutated on the basis of second-generation new humans, and have even more powerful talents."

Blacks explained to Su Ming.

"I see. Does Xiguang Laboratory have three generations of new humans?"

When Su Ming heard what Blacks said, his eyelids twitched. He remembered that Lin Chuyu seemed to be a second-generation new human, but later her hair color changed. Could it be that she also became a third-generation new human?

"No, the chairman of the Longxian Council issued an order that the new humans and ordinary people should be treated equally and not differentiated. Therefore, there is very little information on this aspect, and therefore there is no information."

Blacks explains briefly.

"Ah."

Su Ming nodded.

"Well, I thought you were talking about some major discovery. You don't have to think about it. Su Ming's body is at the level of an ordinary natural person."

Celis pointed out directly.

After listening to Celis's words, Su Ming spoke to Blacks calmly.

"Lord Blacks, I want to give it a try!"

"Su Ming, are you crazy?"

Celis said in surprise.

"Master Su Ming, don't joke with me!"

Boden and others were also dumbfounded and hurried to persuade them.

Alice and the other two also frowned. They didn't expect that even though Celis had explained it so clearly, Su Ming would still take the risk to use it.

"Are you sure you want to use it? The risk is very high. If you can't make it through, you will mutate into a monster."

When Blacks heard Su Ming's words, he showed a hint of hesitation. He didn't know if it was because they had been together for a long time or because he cared too much about Su Ming, but for a moment he was a little worried.

Su Ming's expression changed for a moment, and he replied calmly.

"Well, I think I should be able to hold on. If I were to mutate with my current pollution level, I would have mutated long ago! Trust me!"

"Originally, I was planning to let Alis conduct the first round of tests, but since you want the injection, I will give it to you. But Okens and the others must not know about this, otherwise they will definitely stop us."

When Blacks heard Su Ming say this, he agreed.

In fact, Blacks had great confidence in Su Ming, and Su Ming had never let him down.

"clear."

Su Ming nodded.

At this time, Alice and the other two looked at Su Ming with complicated expressions.

Su Ming saw Alice and the other two looking at him, and then said with a smile.

"Sorry, Alis, for taking away your chance to get the shot."

"Whatever. I don't care anyway. The first round of injections will be just guinea pigs. It will be better if I wait until it is successful before injecting again."

Alis replied coldly.

"it is good."

When Su Ming heard what Alice said, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Actually, what Alex said was right. If his health was not really bad and the situation was getting more critical, he would not have time to recover slowly. Otherwise, he would not want to be so radical, especially since the genetic medicine itself had not been successfully developed and had not been tested on real people.

But now, the arrow is on the string and he has to shoot.

"Okay, everyone start preparing for the injection."

Blacks gave orders to Boden and others.

"Yes!"

Boden and the others immediately came to their senses and quickly separated to prepare.

Celis floated in front of Su Ming and asked worriedly.

"Su Ming, can you really make it through this?"

"Don't worry. We've weathered so many storms before, so this time it will be OK too."

Su Ming tried his best to comfort Celis with a relaxed and confident tone.

"Yeah, I'm sure you'll be fine."

Celis nodded heavily.

After a few hours, all preparations were completed.

Blacks and others brought Su Ming to a special isolation area in Xiguang Laboratory.

This isolation area is divided into two parts, one is the external operation area, which is equipped with a large operation console, and the other is the isolation laboratory.

The entire isolation room is specially made, and the internal walls are all cast with special metal, which is very strong.

In addition, special cameras and biological monitoring equipment are installed in every corner of the isolation room, which can observe the status of the experimenters without blind spots.

At this time, Martindi began to debug the external operating console and check the operation of all built-in equipment.

"Master Su Ming, let's go in."

Boden was holding a freezer and spoke to Su Ming.

"it is good."

Su Ming took a deep breath and followed Boden in.

"Come on, Su Ming!"

Celis shouted at Su Ming.

"it is good!"

Su Ming did not look back and replied in a firm tone.

Soon Su Ming and Boden walked to the center of the isolation room, and Boden opened the freezer in his hand.

The cold air immediately leaked out, and three special injections were seen in the freezer. The most conspicuous one was the one in the middle, which contained a tube of liquid emitting a light purple halo.

Boden said to Su Ming.

"These two potions are auxiliary injections. They can increase your vitality and strengthen your body in a short period of time. I will inject them into you! The last purple one is the completed version of the V-type gene potion, Divine Forbidden. Wait until I get out, and then inject it into your body yourself."

"clear."

Su Ming nodded.

At this time, Blacks's low voice was heard in the isolation room.

"Are you ready?"

"All right!"

Su Ming replied very straightforwardly.

"Then let's get started."

There is no nonsense about Blacks.

Upon hearing this, Boden immediately picked up the two auxiliary injections, inserted them into Su Ming's arms one by one, and injected them into his body.

Su Ming did not feel any pain. Instead, he felt warm and excited.

"Master Su Ming, the rest depends on you. I'm going to leave first."

Boden said to Su Ming respectfully.

"it is good!"

Su Ming nodded.

Boden hurried out of the isolation room.

click!
The metal door of the isolation room was immediately closed.

Su Ming reached out and picked up the V-type gene potion·Divine Forbidden, looking at the purple liquid flowing in the syringe with a very calm expression.

Blacks and others watched quietly through the holographic image and did not urge Su Ming.

Su Ming took a deep breath, his eyes showing a hint of determination, and then he inserted the divine ban into his arm and injected it into his body.

The moment Su Ming finished the injection, his heart suddenly contracted, and then the muscles all over his body began to twitch violently, and horrible pain instantly swept through his brain.

Su Ming knelt down and pressed his hands on the ground, his face showing extreme pain. He felt that every nerve, internal organs, muscle and skin in his body was being burned.

The severe pain made it extremely difficult for him to even breathe.

Immediately afterwards, the genetic sequence in Su Ming's body began to mutate, reject and fuse.

Instantly, the control panel outside the room emitted a piercing alarm, and red prompt boxes popped up one after another. "Warning: The BDI (vitality index) value of the monitored target is decreasing!"

"Warning: Abnormal increase in cell activity!"

"Warning: Abnormality in the monitoring target gene sequence."

"Warning: The monitoring target biological contamination value has increased."

When Boden and others saw the red prompt box pop up, their faces turned green instantly.

It hasn't been long since the injection and so many warnings have popped up. We're doomed.

"It's over, Su Ming must hold on!"

Celis was also extremely nervous.

Dr. Blacks glanced at the mental monitoring value, and that line still showed green, maintaining a normal state.

After he saw that everything was normal, he turned his head and stared at Su Ming.

At this time, the bloodstains on Su Ming's skin seemed to come alive, with blood vessels bulging, his eyes dyed dark red, and his entire face abnormally distorted, like a terrifying beast.

Boden and others were terrified. Su Ming in front of them looked like a monster.

Alex and the other two were also shocked and stared at Su Ming. They had thought that the side effects of the V-type gene potion would be very strong, but they didn't expect it to be so terrible.

At this time, black prompt boxes began to pop up on the console screen.

"Warning: The target's pollution value has exceeded the limit!"

"Warning: The target gene sequence mutation value exceeds the limit!"

Dr. Martindy shouted in horror.

"Lord Blacks, it's no use. The values ​​are off the charts. Lord Su Ming is going to mutate!"

"Hurry up and open the isolation door and find a way to remedy the situation!"

Celis looked at the soaring value and shouted to Blacks anxiously.

This number is enough to cause a person to mutate several times.

Blacks said coldly as he looked at Su Ming who seemed to be mutating.

"Continue to observe!"

"what?"

Dr. Martindi and others were dumbfounded.

"Blacks, you are crazy. Su Ming is dying."

Celis said very angrily.

"We have to believe in him. He is much stronger than you think. And there is no point in rescuing him with this value. If he wants to mutate, he will mutate sooner or later. If he doesn't mutate, he will never mutate!"

Dr. Blacks said with a hint of fanaticism in his eyes.

When Celis and the others heard what Blacks said, they didn't know what to say for a moment.

At this time, Su Ming fell to the ground, and his body began to change again. The skin all over his body began to secrete black substances.

In the blink of an eye, the whole person was covered with black matter.

"It's over, it's mutated!"

Celis said dully after seeing this scene.

Blacks turned his head to look at the numbers on the operating screen. All monitoring data turned black except for the mental line which was green.

Under normal circumstances, this would be a complete transformation into a monster.

However, the system never determined it to be a mutation.

Time passed second by second, and in the blink of an eye an hour had passed.

Su Ming lay motionless on the ground, falling into a deep coma. The data displayed on the operating screen was still terrible, but he still hadn't mutated.

The expressions of Boden and others changed from horror to shock, and they asked blankly.

"What's going on?"

"Why hasn't he mutated?"

"Lord Blacks, what do we do now?"

"Wait, wait until he wakes up or dies!"

Blacks's cold face revealed a hint of excitement that was difficult to conceal.

Boden and the others swallowed their saliva and looked at the unconscious Su Ming quietly.
-
Early in the morning.

Starlight City, Central Interstellar Airport.

An interstellar cruise ship slowly descended from the sky and landed at the designated position.

The underground connecting passage rises up and fits in with the upper exit.

click!
The exit is open.

Cross was seen wearing sunglasses and a plaid casual shirt walking out of the exit and into the underground passage.

Soon he reached the exit security area.

"Sir, please show me your ID."

A sweet-looking woman in work clothes said with a smile.

Cross took out his ID card and tourist visa and said with a smile.

“This is my ID.”

"Are you here for a trip?"

"Ah."

"How many days do you plan to stop?"

"Three days."

"Have fun."

The female staff member returned the certificate to Cross with a smile.

"Thank you."

Cross took the documents, cleared customs, and walked towards the exit of the interstellar airport.

When he walked out of the interstellar airport, the prosperous Star City suddenly came into view.

Cross took a deep breath, a very complicated expression appeared on his face, and he murmured with deep emotion.

"I am back!"

More than two hours later.

Cross appeared at the gate of the Imperial Court Academy. He looked at the stone statue standing at the gate, his expression becoming increasingly silent, and then he walked towards the gate.

When Cross walked to the gate, the security guard reached out to stop him.

"Student, please show me your student card!"

"Ok."

Cross took out a student card and handed it over.

The guard checked it and returned the student card to Cross.

"go in."

Cross took the ID card and walked into the Royal Court Academy, heading towards the cemetery.

Inside the cemetery.

Cross walked in alone, and soon he arrived at the square inside the cemetery.

When he passed the stone wall next to the square, he couldn't help but stop and turned to look at the yellowed photos pasted on it. Among them was a group photo taken a hundred years ago with a hole dug out of it.

Cross stared at the hole for a long time, then continued walking forward and left the square.

Soon Cross came to a separate small cemetery where two tombstones were located next to each other.

There are two names engraved on the tombstone, Tamke and Qingyin.

The epitaph clearly states, A federal first-class combat hero rests here!

Cross looked at Tamk's tombstone, the muscles on his face twitched uncontrollably, and his eyes revealed extreme hatred.

After a long time, Cross's gaze moved to Qingyin's tombstone. For a moment, his face was filled with an extremely complicated expression, and a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.

He squatted right in front of Qingyin's tombstone, leaned against it, took out a cigarette and lit it.

Call ~
Cross took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, with a self-deprecating expression on his face.

He was born in an ordinary well-off family in the third district of Starlight City. He was very smart since childhood and had great ideals and ambitions. With his unremitting efforts, he successfully entered the Royal Court Academy.

Tamke and Qingyin are both his classmates.

From the first time they met, Cross fell in love with Qingyin, and the two of them also had a good impression of each other. Later, they joined the army together and were assigned to the same team.

Tamk became their captain because of his prominent family. Everything was going in the right direction until the mechanical clan invaded.

Their team participated in the Battle of Diyanxing.

In that battle, Tamk led nearly half of the team on a mission to clear and occupy a strategic location.

At that time, Cross noticed something was wrong and felt that there was something wrong in that area, so he issued a stern warning to Tamke.

But Tamk did not listen to his advice, and led his team forward rashly in an eagerness for quick success. As expected, they were ambushed by the mechanical clan.

Cross fought back desperately, trying to rescue his teammates and break through, but ultimately failed and they were all wiped out there.

However, because the mechanical clan was in a hurry to complete the mission, they did not check the dead mechas.

As a result, he and Tamke survived by chance.

At that time he was very angry and kept cursing Tamke, and even said he would report him, accusing him of being greedy for merit and reckless and causing the death of his companions.

As a result, Tamke pulled the trigger from behind and shot himself.

When he woke up, he found that he was saved by the mechanical family. He also tried his best to return to the Federation.

But when he returned to the Federation, he found that everything had changed.

Tamke put the blame of greed and recklessness on himself, and also accused himself of shooting his companion in order to cover up the crime, so he had to kill him in self-defense.

In an instant he became a traitor, was stripped of all honors, and became an object of everyone's scorn.

His parents died of depression not long after because they could not bear the pain of losing their son and the public's scorn.

Tamke, the culprit of all this, married his beloved Qingyin, and rose to prominence thanks to his good family background.

Finally, in the Fading Battle that broke out between the transit country of Taberken and Chirami, he killed the V-type general-level Chirami Hefamoen. Both of them died heroically and became the first-class combat heroes of the Federation.

This result was simply a huge joke, as if God was fooling him.

This was totally unacceptable to Cross. He became a traitor, Tamk became a hero, and his beloved Qingyin died!
He had no place to vent his bitterness.

For a moment he didn't know what to do.

To defend myself? But no one would believe me, and there was no evidence. When I fought the mechanical tribe, all auxiliary functions were turned off, and there was no video recording at all.

Moreover, the Federation would not believe him. Who would believe the words of a traitor and question a dead hero? Moreover, he had actually defected to the mechanical clan.

At this moment, Cross felt so wronged and desperate that he suddenly felt that the whole world had lost its meaning. He began to hate human beings, thinking that this race was dirty and should not exist.

Of course, he also hated the mechanical family, because all the tragedies were caused by them. The mechanical family thought that they had avenged him by helping him kill all the people of the Tamk family. It was ridiculous to think that he would be loyal to them wholeheartedly.

Cross laughed and laughed, finally showing a self-deprecating smile, then slowly stood up.

He reached out and gently touched Qingyin's tombstone, then turned and left, leaving only a pile of cigarette butts on the ground.

When Cross walked to the cemetery square, he ran into Teacher Ofam, who was holding a roll call document and walking towards him with a group of students. The two of them passed each other.

Ofam's heart suddenly moved, and he subconsciously stopped and turned to look at Cross who was leaving. He looked at his back and frowned slightly. For some reason, the man who just walked past looked so familiar, very much like an old acquaintance.

However, Ofam quickly rejected this ridiculous idea and continued to take his students on a tour.

After a long time, they came to the tombstones of Tamke and Qingyin.

"This is Tamke, Ching."

When Ofam was halfway through his introduction, he was startled to see cigarette butts all over the floor.

At this time, the students present saw the cigarette butts and said angrily.

"Why are there so many cigarette butts here?"

"Yeah! Who is so uncultured?"

"It's just too much."

Ofam looked at the cigarette butt with the lotus logo on the ground, his brows twisted into a mess, and the figure he met before appeared in his mind. He remembered clearly that the senior also liked to smoke this cigarette.
"teacher?"

At this time, many students saw that the teacher had been silent for a long time and shouted in a low voice.

Ofam immediately came to his senses and spoke to the student in front of him.

"You guys go take a look around first, I'll go take care of something."

After Ofam finished speaking, he ignored the students' shocked expressions and hurriedly ran out of the cemetery.

"Ofam, where are you going?"

Some teachers leading the teams along the way shouted in confusion.

Offam did not answer them, but looked around for the figure.

Unfortunately, even when Ofam ran to the school gate, he still couldn't find Cross.

He kept panting and muttering in confusion.

"Did I make a mistake?"
-
The old Milky Way, in the dark starry sky.

A giant fortress called the Eye of the Void, which is 3,000 kilometers long and made entirely of special black living metal, is in the shape of a Rubik's cube and is floating under protective camouflage.

At this time, we were in the central control room of the Eye of the Void Fortress.

Deputy Chief Pamie stood on a circular metal platform, with V-type Hero-level Sword Dragon Hamikas, V-type Hero-level Watcher Mephas, V-type General-level Blue Serpent Pavabik and others standing below.

"This operation is very important to us. We must do everything we can to get Long Xian's mecha. No matter how bad it is, we must confirm Long Xian's condition. After all, we don't have much time. We must get that thing before the Chirami tribe takes action. Do you understand?"

Deputy Chief Pamier spoke hoarsely.

"understand!"

Hamikas and others responded in a deep voice.

"Action, start now, send out the nanometal aliens."

Pamier's eyes suddenly lit up.

The Void Eye Fortress suddenly opened two exits.

Swish!
Two palm-sized, mosquito-shaped nanometal aliens (Pamier clones) rushed out and then gradually turned transparent.

One flew towards the third planet, and the other flew towards the Tianlan Star.

The starry sky outside the third planet.

Monitoring space stations, various defensive weapons, and numerous defense ships are suspended.

At this time, a nano-metal alien in the shape of a mosquito passed through the lines of defense and entered the atmosphere.

The Star Destroyer Rainbow and numerous defensive weapons did not react at all.

swoosh~
After passing through the atmosphere, this nanometal alien instantly split into countless nano-sized metal aliens, flying towards the Starlight City.

They entered from the entrances of various passages in the Dorag Sphere.

Shuttled through every corner of the huge city, some nanometal aliens landed on the edge of the sewer, quickly changed their form, became nanocrawlers and drilled straight down.

Some of the nano-metal foreign bodies fell directly into the hoods of passers-by, while others fell onto moving hovering cars.

At this time, three nano-metal aliens in the shape of mosquitoes flew in from the window of a building.

Wang Wang~
A Dalmatian in the house seemed to sense something, then raised its head and barked wildly.

"Silly dog, stop barking!"

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a major's military uniform, with a gloomy expression and sharp eyes, walked to the dining table.

At this time, the three mosquito-shaped nanometal aliens scanned the man in front of them to identify his identity.

"Major Andak, a member of the First Federal Army, responsible for guarding Area A1."

Immediately afterwards, a nano-metal alien flew directly into the cup of clean water.

The other two nano-metal aliens took a look and continued to fly forward.

At this time, Major Andak was also yawning, picked up the water cup and prepared to put it in his mouth.

Wang Wang!

The Dalmatian also kept barking at Andak.

"Still screaming!"

Major Andak stretched out his foot in annoyance and kicked it.

Woohoo~
The Dalmatian left in disgrace.

Major Andak then drank the water in the cup in one gulp.
