Falling into the Abyss

The moment Ethan raised the injection and was about to press it on his arm, Adrian, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly let out a terrible roar like a raging lion, and suddenly rushed forward.His outburst came without warning, with frightening force, and it happened at the moment when everyone's attention was on Ethan.A soldier who was holding the chain let go of his hand unsuspectingly, while the other soldier was turned over.

Adrian threw Congressman Aguda to the ground, biting the seam of the protective clothing and helmet on the congressman's neck with his mouth open, and even tore it apart all at once.The congressman who had always been calm and composed screamed piercingly, but he couldn't get rid of the man who was like a mad dog.It all happened so quickly that the tentacle behind Ethan pierced the throats of five soldiers trying to shoot Adrian like lightning.

But at the same time, several snipers in the distance also fired.

Adrian's body trembled violently, was shot several times, collapsed and was turned aside by the councilor, black blood spread from under his body.Ethan, however, seemed to have been shot, and jumped forward with a scream of fear, blocking a few bullets for Adrian with his body.When the shooting finally stopped, Ethan dared to move slightly, rolled over to the side, and gently shook Adrian's shoulder.

The congressman shivered and crawled to the side like a frightened little girl, clutching the crack in the protective clothing, crawling up and running away.And Ethan had no time to pay attention to her.

The father lay motionless on the ground, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.Ethan didn't know that his hands were trembling. He hugged his father, carefully placed his head on his lap, and gently stroked his father's cheek with pity. The voice called, "Wake up...don't die...don't die...wake up!"

He didn't dare to look at the bloody bullet holes on his father's body, but his father's blood was spreading on his legs, seeping into his clothes.His tears fell on Adrian's already swollen face, pulling out black marks.Like a miracle, Adrian slowly opened his eyes, and there was still a trace of familiarity in the depths of his dull eyes.He looked at the child he raised, his face was covered with black tears, even though he knew what a terrible thing he had done, he still cried like he was a child at this time.

His tongue was swollen and clumsy, and it was already difficult for him to speak clearly.The bone-piercing cold eroded his skin, as if it was going to freeze him into a block of ice.He raised his hand, grabbed Ethan's hand, touched it, and said, "Run away..."

This is the last word he said in this life.

Afterwards, he took a few short breaths, frowned as if in pain, scratched his hands a few times like convulsions, and then he sighed a long time, and stopped breathing since then.

Ethan noticed that something in his pupils was frozen, his body seemed to lose support suddenly and slumped, and the hand he was holding tightly to Ethan also fell down.For a moment, Ethan couldn't believe that this was reality. His father, Adrian Eldridge, was dead.It seemed that the memory of his father taking him to the aquarium on his tenth birthday was still so vivid, but in the blink of an eye, his father's body, which had begun to decay and deform long before his death, was lying in his arms.

Ethan hugged Adrian's body tightly, shaking his body back and forth slightly, weeping suppressedly and at a loss.He didn't have time to ask anything, there were still so many things that he didn't explain clearly to his father, he didn't have time to apologize, and he didn't have time to ask where his mother was buried.

He didn't even have a chance to call the man in his arms dad again.

But in just a few seconds, he even lost his last relative in this world.

He raised his head and let out a mournful howl.Black tears stained his face, making him look horrible and pathetic.

But at this moment, an injection emitting light blue light shot out from the opposite house and pierced Ethan's neck.A burning pain quickly spread throughout his body, and Ethan had to let go of his father and hastily pulled out the injection on his neck.Lying in his palm was something similar to an anesthetic needle, except that it contained a light blue solution of the egg of the preface.

In the pain that quickly burned all over his body, he hissed angrily, and then limp on the ground unwillingly.After about 10 minutes, a team of special forces soldiers approached cautiously, holding a similar blue-glowing net as before.The leading captain reported to the person at the end of the headset, "He seems to have passed out."

"Very well, give him a sufficient injection immediately and bring him back."

When a special soldier walked up to Ethan, holding a thicker injection in his hand and was about to inject him, suddenly a tentacle full of thorns shot out from the back of Ethan's neck, which should have passed out, and pierced through him instantly. The soldier's face pierced through the back of his head, and his brains bloomed like blood in the air.

Suddenly, the soldiers backed away in horror, shooting Ethan at the same time.I saw Ethan standing up slowly from the ground, with black lines all over his face, and his slender pupils staring at them with some kind of crazy anger.Behind him, many terrifying tentacles like thorns and pythons were waving. He slowly raised a finger, pointing at them with the black curved claw-like nails, "Who shot just now?"

No one spoke, apparently the captain was going to cover the other soldiers from escaping, shooting at him non-stop.The bullets pierced his body, sending out streams of black blood.Those blood streams completely dyed his clothes black and pooled together under his feet, but he approached the soldiers step by step as if he felt nothing.

"I said, who shot my father just now!" Ethan couldn't hear much anger in his voice, but he didn't know why even a powerful Alpha like the captain of the special forces felt a chill from the bottom of his heart.

The tall, valiant man yelled angrily, "Go to hell! You disgusting monster!"

Ethan rolled him up high with his tentacles, cutting his waist in half in mid-air.Then his tentacles quickly and accurately grabbed the fleeing special forces one by one, some were directly swallowed by the huge mouth at the end of the tentacles, others' heads were twisted off, and some of their bodies were pierced from bottom to top , blood and screams were scattered all over the sky.

In fact, he was in great pain. The sequence force and entropy force in his body were fighting fiercely. He felt that he was on fire from the inside out, and the more he used the black power in his body, the more painful it became.But anger and sadness made him ignore everything, he needed blood, he wanted to make these people regret what they did to his father, what they did to him.

He wanted the bastards to be buried with his father.

The hatred filled his whole body with a layer of black smoke, which seemed to be some kind of substance emanating from his body.All the flowers and plants he stepped on quickly rotted away, and all the land he walked on could no longer grow plants, and the bricks and stones he touched were all broken into dust and steel turned into rust.

Within a few minutes, a team of more than a dozen special forces was almost slaughtered by him.

When his tentacles wrapped around the neck of the last Beta special soldier who seemed to be less than 20 years old, and when he heard the poor boy crying and calling "Mom" at the end, his mind suddenly tightened.He thought of his mother's rotten face, and the way his once beautiful mother played the violin in the sun, and the pain that had been ignored all the time suddenly came overwhelming.He let go of the tentacle, and let the soldier limp on the ground in fright, even peed his pants.And he himself fell to his knees on the ground, the world in front of him was spinning, and a sense of exhaustion and oppression gradually covered his eyes.

Although he didn't want to admit defeat, didn't want to be knocked down by that terrible pain.But after all, he was hurt too badly, and the solution of Xu Shen's egg made him unable to heal quickly, and the black blood dripped into a long line behind him.

He lost consciousness.

**********

He woke up, the sun was shining brightly outside the window, and the snow-white curtains fluttered in the faint golden beams of light, warming the eyelids.The air is filled with a comfortable smell of fish or kelp, and the sound of waves crashing on the beach is like eternal background music.He stretched lazily on the bed, sat up, touched the glasses from the bedside table and put them on, everything in front of him became clear.

A clean and warm bedroom with a large double bed covered with soft white bedding.There are unfinished books and a cup of cold black tea on the bedside table, and a rattan laundry basket piled with dirty clothes is placed next to the closet.The pillow behind her was soft and familiar, while the bed sheet next to her was slightly wrinkled and had human body heat. There were two strands of light golden hair left on the pillow.

He leaned down slightly, sniffing the scent on the pillow.The faint scent of sandalwood made him feel so comfortable that he wanted to sigh.A warm throb filled with heart spread through his body, making him smile unconsciously.

Suddenly, a white cat with black spots jumped onto the bed, meowed twice, stepped on his thigh a few times as if looking for a comfortable place, and finally lay down gracefully and lazily, Start licking his paws to wash his face.Ethan looked at the white cat with some kind of surprise, as if he had never seen it before.He touched its head tentatively, while it grunted familiarly and closed its eyes under Ethan's touch.

Outside the window, the beautiful blue sea is shaking slowly at the end of the golden sandy beach, the blue sky is like washing, and seagulls are flying in groups.Such a dreamlike and beautiful scene, but it is normal for him, after all, this is his every day life.

He suddenly felt a little lost again, because he had just had a long, evil and terrible dream.He wished he could hug the person sleeping next to him and find some comfort.

But at this moment, a person walked in through the open bedroom door.He was wearing a comfortable white nightgown and pajama pants, showing his strong and white chest, holding a dinner plate in his hand, with freshly baked bread slices, ham, cheese and fried eggs, and two cups of hot coffee, A fuzzy smoke came out, permeating his delicate face like a porcelain doll.His blond hair seemed to have just been washed, and the ends were still slightly damp, sticking to his forehead.His gray eyes were slightly curved, and his smile was bright and innocent.

"Slacker, are you finally willing to get up?"

Ethan looked at Tanithel greedily, as if he hadn't seen him for a long, long time.But they live together every day, don't they?They came to Armonia a long time ago and bought this hut.He works as a secretary in a spaceship manufacturing company, while Tanithel works as a teacher of interstellar anthropology at the university.They adopted this little cat a year ago, and they are discussing whether to adopt another puppy these two days.

Tanithel turned to the other side of the bed and sat down, carefully placing the dinner plate on the quilt.Seeing that Ethan was still looking at him, he couldn't help smiling indulgently, reached out and gently lifted Ethan's chin, and kissed him quickly on the lips, "What's wrong, you're fascinated by me again? "

Ethan pretended to be angry and slapped his hand away, rolled his eyes, "I just dreamed that you were dead."

Tanisel laughed, "I heard that there is a saying that dreams are a way to satisfy wishes that are difficult to realize in reality. Don't you want me to die so that you can become a rich widow?"

"First of all, you are not rich as a teacher." Ethan waved his fingers at him in a reasonable manner, "Secondly, I don't intend to be a widow."

"Oh? Is there anyone else besides me who can satisfy your masochistic addiction in bed?"

Ethan picked up the pillow behind him and threw it at it. Tanithel was beaten so loudly that he couldn't stand it.The two almost knocked over the dinner plate.Tanithel grabbed his wrist, pressed him on the bed, stared at him in a very charming way, and said in a sexy voice, "Early in the morning, do you want to eat, or do you want to be eaten by me?" ?”

"Why don't I eat you instead?" Ethan also curled the corners of his mouth without giving in.

The atmosphere between the two gradually became ambiguous and sticky, but at this moment, they heard Xiaobao—the sound of their cat licking his mouth. When he turned his head, he saw that Xiaobao was already very nervous when the two of them were arguing. Actively ate ham.

Tanithel yelled annoyedly, and roared, "Ta Xiaobao! Shut up!"

Xiaobao exposed the ears of the plane, jumped out of bed like an arrow, and ran out of the bedroom.

"It's all your fault for fooling around, look." Ethan regretfully picked up the ham bitten by Xiaobao.Tanithel came over nonchalantly, and took a bite of Ethan's hand, "What's the matter, you hug and kiss it all the time, don't you think you still despise it?"

"...Are you jealous of it?" Ethan asked back with a smile, and looked back at the alarm clock on the table, "Oh, it's so late! My parents will come over at two o'clock in the afternoon, and I have to go to the supermarket later. Oil and laundry detergent are running out."

"Shall I drive you?"

"You don't need to revise the student's paper?"

"I changed it all day yesterday, and I almost died of anger. You want me to change it now, you don't really want to murder your husband, do you?" Tanisel said with an aggrieved expression Posing, pursed his mouth and looked like he was about to cry.

Ethan smiled and shook his head, picked up the coffee and took a sip.The bitter aroma flowed down the throat all the way to the stomach.He turned his head to look at Tanisel who was spreading jam on the bread slices, and for some reason suddenly wanted to cry.

And he actually cried.

Tanithel turned to see him with a strange look in his eyes.

"Honey, there seems to be something... strange coming out of your eyes?"

Somewhat inexplicably, Ethan raised his hand to wipe his tears, put it in front of his eyes, and suddenly froze.

Those tears were black.

"Is this your wish?" Suddenly, a terrifying voice that did not belong to anyone descended from the sky, and everything around him froze.

The wind stopped blowing, the curtains stopped moving, the sound of the waves stopped, and the coffee stopped smoking.

Tanithel is gone.

Ethan couldn't move, like falling into an ice cave.He let go of his hand, and the coffee cup fell on the bed, but no coffee flowed out.

He clasped his head in his hands, shaking as if avoiding, "Impossible...Impossible...I don't want to go back...I don't want to go back..."

"I don't want to go back!"

He woke up shouting these words.

Around him, surrounded by a group of people.They have a candle dyed in their hands, and they wear the emblem of the Benefactors on their chests.

And directly in front of him, Chen Zeng was wearing a black robe, with the usual kind smile on his face.

"Welcome back."
