Ares

"He said you don't like me, he said...you'll never like me."

"..."

"I've learned a lot. Even if you don't like me, as long as you stay with me, it's enough, isn't it?"

"..."

"Come on, let me tell you how much I like you."

"..."

Eddie suddenly opened his eyes, and it took a long time for his body to recover. With consciousness, he moved his arms, only to realize that his whole body seemed to be drenched with sweat, and a gust of wind blew over him, making him very cold.

Eddie breathed a sigh of relief, relaxing a bit.

He remembered the voice in the dream, and obviously couldn't remember every answer he said, but he remembered that it was the voice of Ares, although it was much scarier than the Ares in his memory.

Is that Ares?Will Rob know something?

Eddie frowned, sat in the dark for a while, and decided to go to Rob.

Because they want to hide their tracks, they live in an abandoned factory at the moment. Eddie is in a slightly cleaner room, guessing that it should be a storage room before, and Rob is in the room near the door. According to himself, it can Discovering the situation outside in time, Eddie didn't know what he was worried about, why he was so afraid of Ares' approach, but subconsciously, he felt the same way.

Eddie was very tired these days and was often in a drowsy state. He fell asleep just after night fell. He didn't know where the light switch was. It took a while for his eyes to fully adapt to the darkness.

Eddie could have called Rob's name, but, for some reason, in the dark, he was too nervous to make a sound.

The whole factory was very quiet, as if he was the only one.

Eddie struggled to find Rob's room in his memory. The door was not locked or even closed, only a crack was left. Eddie gently pushed it open and called Rob's name at the same time.

Eddie hadn't noticed this room before. There was a small window on the wall, and a bright moon could be seen, which was very similar to the moon seen on the earth. Rob stood with his back to Eddie, looking at the little window, must have heard Eddie call him, but didn't look back.

"Rob," Eddie called again, "I want to ask you something."

Rob tilted his head, and Eddie didn't say much. He felt that he was not in a good mood at the moment, so he didn't want to waste extra time, and asked his own question directly.

"I...dreamed about Ares just now, and I seemed to be psychologically repulsed by him. In the dream, he was very different from before, a little...scary, what do you know? Tell me, maybe I'll finish listening I can think of something later."

"Terror?" The person standing there turned around and said, "Really?"

Eddie heard this familiar voice, exactly the same as in the dream, his heartbeat accelerated suddenly, he couldn't help it, and took a step back.

"Ares?!"

That's right!It wasn't Rob standing there at all, it was Ares!

Just now, because of the dim light, Eddie had preconceived it when he came in, thinking that the person staying in the house must be Rob, but now it seems that the figure is so different, how could he be alone.

"It's me." Ares replied affectionately, without the sense of oppression just now, he moved closer to Eddie, Eddie wanted to back away, but he couldn't move anyway.

what on earth is it?

Eddie obviously shouldn't have such a strong sense of fear towards Ares, but he just wanted to escape conditionedly. What happened in the memory he lost?

"Why are you here? Where's Rob?" Eddie's heart tightened, and he remembered what Rob said. Rob once said that if Ares found them, he would die.

Obviously in his memory, although Ares was stubborn, he could be regarded as pure and kind, but why didn't he doubt that Ares would kill Rob at all?

"He ran away." Ares replied very casually, "He knew how long it would take me to reach Nichols, and he ran away before I came."

This Rob is really... a dog can't change it. Shit.

Eddie closed his eyes. First of all, he wanted to stabilize his emotions. After all, the other party was Ares, and he would not really do anything to him. After he persuaded himself in this way, he opened his eyes and looked at the handsome face in front of him. .

"I... forgot a lot of things, and I still haven't remembered them yet."

"Well, I know." Ares took a few more steps towards him, "but you don't seem to remember anything, you just said, you had... a dream about me?"

Eddie thought of what he had just said, and sighed inwardly. It was too difficult to fool.

He bit the bullet and muttered, "Don't they all say that dreams are the opposite?"

Ares didn't seem unhappy. He walked up to Eddie and gently stroked his side face. Eddie couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body. Why is this happening?So reflexively afraid of him?Eddie didn't understand.

"Long time no see, do you miss me?"

Eddie tried to figure out the position of his eyes in the dark, staring at that position, not knowing what is the safest answer now, so he simply didn't open his mouth, and Ares stopped asking.

It was dawn soon, and Eddie didn't feel sleepy after seeing Ares, and his state was a bit indescribable.

Even his conditioned reflex and what Rob said between the lines indicated that Ares was a terrible person. However, because of a gap in his memory, seeing Ares standing in front of him, he didn’t feel too much. horrible.

The body wants to run away, but the mind goes the other way, unaware of any danger.

Really big head.

"What happened after Jeremy and I separated?" He asked cautiously, and only after he finished asking did he remember an important thing: "You know Jeremy, right?"

"Of course." Ares gave him a piece of food, and Eddie took it. He was really hungry.

"I've forgotten so many things. Where are Jeremy and Goss now? What happened at the time?" Eddie asked him while eating. Aris was much easier to deal with than Rob, and he didn't hide it. The meaning, slowly speaking.

"They are fine now. At that time, when you were brought to me in a coma, I was taken aback. I thought they had done something to you. At that time, the effect of the suppressive medicine had almost passed. I didn't have any serious problems. The movement caused them to take me lightly, plus, Goss responded internally, and it became a lot easier for us to leave."

"So smooth?" Eddie listened to him clearly and finished speaking without blinking his eyes. He was undoubtedly there, but it was too smooth. However, think about it carefully, Ares, Jeremy, Ge Si, neither is easy to provoke, nor is it impossible.

"Well." Ares handed Eddie clear water. He brought a complete set of things. Eddie hadn't drank clean water for a long time. He quickly took it and drank it. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Rob really Still not as good as Ares.

"What about after that?" Eddie didn't forget that Jeremy agreed to help them at the beginning because he first promised that when Ares was brought out, he would take them to Steele to find useful resources.

"I used up too much energy at that time, and there was no way to recover in a short time, so the two of us had to fulfill the promise you made to them before and took them to Steele."

"Huh?" Eddie's eyes widened in disbelief, "Really...really went to Steele?"

"Yeah." Ares replied softly.

"And then?" Eddie just finished asking, and he thought of a question that he had thought about when he was negotiating with Jeremy, but never thought about actually taking them to Steele, so he never cared , "It's been so long since the Steele disaster, there aren't many resources left."

"Although every planet knows more or less about the destruction of Steele, most of them dare not act rashly. Moreover, you told Jeremy at the time that if you want to go to Steele and return safely, I will Is the most important trump card, you are quite right."

Ares talked a lot, and his tone became softer and softer. Eddie didn't feel oppressed at the beginning, and he relaxed physically and mentally.

"Some interstellar bandits went to Steele desperately and took some things, but I have been there since I was born, and I know where all the precious resources are hidden there, and I should know better than you."

Eddie's heart tightened, "You let Jeremy take it all? He's not a good guy!"

Ares smiled softly, "How could it be? Of course I know he is not a good person, but he helped us after all, so I only took him and took part of it. Later, after my physical condition was completely recovered, all of them All of them are not my opponents, even if you feel unwilling, you can only take what they deserve and leave, there is no way at all."

Eddie always felt that what he said was too simple, could things be solved so simply?But when it comes to loopholes, he really doesn't know where there are loopholes.

He could only nod his head, amazed at the changes in Ares. He didn't expect that Ares has been so reasonable in this year, with clear rewards and punishments.

He knew that Jeremy and his party should be benefited, but also that they should not be given too much. He knew to use his own advantages to fight against the enemy, but also knew not to kill innocent people indiscriminately.

Eddie smiled slightly.

"What are you thinking?" Ares asked him.

"I think you have changed a lot." Eddie said truthfully, "It's almost no different from ordinary humans."

He didn't see Ares' eyes darkened when he heard this, and he fell silent for an instant.

Eddie went on to ask him, "What happened then? Why did I come here? What happened to Rob?"
