Falling into the Abyss
Chapter 123 The Land of Prophecy
The dim candlelight deepened the shadows on the faces of everyone standing in front of Ethan. They were all wearing black cloaks and hoods, holding a delicate candlestick with a black candle burning on it, emitting With a faint myrrh fragrance.
Ethan sat up slowly and looked down at himself.He was shirtless, and all the bullet holes were nearly healed, leaving only a faint scar.There are still many black lines spreading on the side of his body and arms, and there is still a burning pain in his body, but it is obvious that the influence of the Preface God's Egg on him has been greatly weakened.
His mind throbbed with pain, and for a moment he couldn't tell the difference between dreams and reality.
"You were injured." Chen Zeng said in a soothing tone, "but now you are safe."
"Where is this?" Ethan asked.
"We are on our way to Earth." Chen Zeng looked around, "This is our spaceship, Apocalypse."
"Then...why am I on your ship?"
"We rescued you. There are members of the Benevolent Society on the seventh space station. They informed me of your going to the fifth space station alone, so we brought you out before the Earth Alliance blew up the fifth space station."
Ethan slowly looked around at every face with lowered eyes and reverent awe, and said in a cold voice, "Your believers are spread widely."
Suddenly, a circle of people around him headed by Chen Zeng knelt down at the same time, holding the candle high with both hands.Just listen to Chen Zeng's reverent reciting, "The prophet Gad once said to David, the king of Israel who disobeyed God: 'I have three plagues. You can choose one of them, so that I can fall on you. Or three years of famine; Either you will be defeated by your enemies, and you will be hunted by their sword for three months; or the sword of the LORD will be in your land, and you will be plagued for three days, and the angel of the LORD will destroy all the borders of Israel.' David to Gad Said, "It is very difficult for me. I would like to fall into the hand of the LORD, because of the abundance of his mercy, but I would not fall into the hand of man." So the LORD sent a plague on the Israelites, and from the morning until the appointed time, Israel 24 people died." (Note: This paragraph is quoted from the Bible, [-] Samuel, Chapter [-])
Ethan was unmoved, and looked indifferently at the few people who worshiped him.He recognized most of the faces in the Forbidden City. It seemed that the Earth Alliance had abandoned the Forbidden City now that the Earth was occupied by the plague.
Chen Zeng continued to chant: "When David saw the angel who destroyed the people, he prayed to the Lord and said: I have sinned and done evil, but what have these sheep done? May your hand attack me and my father's house Gad came to David that day and said to him, Go up and build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite. David went up as Gad had spoken to the LORD. David built an altar to the LORD there, and offered burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. So the LORD heard the prayers of the people, and the plague stopped among the Israelites." twenty four)
Ethan interrupted him, "You don't think I'm your god, do you?"
"You are the angel of the Lord, the angel of destruction. Just as Jesus Christ brought forgiveness and redemption to mankind, you brought God's wrath and final judgment."
Ethan had a splitting headache, and the terrible memory of his father dying in his arms was coming back to his mind bit by bit.Looking at the pious and ignorant expressions of the group of people around him, he felt sick.
"We know that human beings have long deviated from the teachings of God, and have forgotten to fear and love God. We deserve what is happening now. We are willing to offer sacrifices to you and follow in your footsteps. We only ask God to forgive those who still follow Him His people." Chen Zeng stared into his eyes, his eyes had a kind of quiet power, with a soothing depth.Ethan was looked at by him with this kind of gaze, and somehow he thought of Tanithel.Do people who are good at demagoguery have this peaceful and peaceful look in their eyes, or are they born with this ability?
"Do you think that my existence is to serve you and to punish your so-called sins?" He chuckled softly, closed his eyes, took a deep breath and then exhaled, slowly turning the pain-filled Head, "You guys are really arrogant."
As soon as the words fell, several tentacles suddenly shot out from behind him, wrapping the throats of several people around at lightning speed.The man was defenseless, eyes wide, mouth open, hands clutching his tentacles to ease the strangulation.The others also fell to the ground in fright, and one or two seemed to want to run away, but they hesitated and finally just ran a little further away.
But Chen Zeng still stayed where he was, looking up at Ethan who was standing up from the iron bed made of some kind of metal with a calm and devout look.Behind his body, black tentacles fluttered like wings, and there was a bit of contempt and disgust in their staring eyes.Chen Zeng smiled, this is exactly the angel of death he needs, with him, no one will question the coming of the end.
"I hate you believers." Ethan looked down at him and said, "If you want to stop the spread of the plague, you shouldn't save me."
After finishing speaking, he casually threw those people out.Those people were not strangled to death, but they were also quite frightened, shrinking to the ground and trembling.Ethan jumped off the bed, bypassed Chen Zeng and the shivering believers on the ground, and walked towards the round gate that looked like some kind of sacrificial place.
This is indeed a spaceship, and looking at the interior design and decoration, it is a bit of the Ophiuchus Alliance style.
Sure enough, Chen Zeng was backed by the Ophiuchus Alliance.
The light in the entire spaceship is dim, it seems that someone deliberately made the lights ambiguous, exuding a sense of mystery and tranquility.The corridor was also crowded with believers. They all wore similar black hooded robes with the badge of the Benefactors on their chests, and they knelt outside with low eyebrows.Seeing him come out, they seemed to be very frightened, and they flinched back almost at the same time.
Ethan hated the group and they killed Schneider.
They are a group of idiots who have been brainwashed by Chen Zeng, fear, and their own ignorance.
But they are right, this instinct to blindly obey those who are stronger than themselves, this instinct to fear and hate everything different from them, this instinct to use the power of the group to kill heretics who are weaker than them in human genes.This kind of gene allows human beings to multiply beyond other species, to create spaceships to conquer the universe, and to destroy planets with nuclear bombs, and to have no objection to the decision to slaughter millions of people.
Anyone put in their life who could be the same idiot would probably agree that Schneider and Samuel should be hanged.
But Ethan still hated them, a destructive urge churning through him.
"The fifth space station has been blown up. The Earth Alliance probably thinks that you have died inside." Chen Zeng came behind him unconsciously, with his head half down, and said respectfully but not humblely.
"When you rescued me, did you bring back my father's body?" Ethan asked.
"We only had time to rescue you."
Ethan turned sideways, staring at him with green eyes, "I want to speak to you alone, let your disciples go away."
Chen Zeng looked around, raised his hand and made a gesture of stepping back.Those believers can't wait to turn around and retreat like black tide, just like those bugs who surrendered to Ethan.
You see, in fact, there is not so much difference between humans and insects.
After the crowd dispersed, Ethan turned around to face Beta, who was always calm and composed, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "So, you want me to help you spread your big evil words?"
Chen Zeng clasped his hands in front of him with a respectful gesture, "It's not spreading, but proof. Your existence is proof."
"Aren't you afraid of being infected by me?"
"With your current physical condition, I'm afraid it's a little difficult, right?"
Ethan clenched his fists secretly.Indeed, he tried to catch those people just now, and also wanted to test his own condition, but it was obviously a bit difficult.
"You think you can coerce me now?" Ethan narrowed his eyes slightly.
"I know you must hate me because of what happened before you left the Forbidden City." Chen Zeng suddenly changed the topic.Ethan noticed the change in what he called him, so he knew it was time to get down to business from now on.
"Hate?" Ethan laughed, full of sarcasm.
"I just want you to know that it wasn't my intention. I didn't know what happened to your friend."
"Of course you don't know, it's all because your believers are ignorant and misinterpreted your meaning?" Ethan seemed to be gnashing his teeth in the end, and the tentacles behind him had unknowingly spread onto Chen Zeng's body, entwining his body The legs climbed upwards.
Chen Zeng obviously felt it, his body was a little stiff, but he still maintained a sincere apology on his face, "I'm not shirking responsibility, that's indeed my problem. In fact, I don't hate the relationship between Omega, it's just that I A preacher of the Lord, these are the teachings of the Lord..."
"If you say one more word, I'll kill you right now." Ethan's tentacles climbed onto Chen Zeng's neck, lingering at the corner of Beta's mouth, "No, it's better to infect you, and then let your followers see See what you look like when you become a worm, and see if they will still kneel down and kiss your feet?"
"I can help you." Chen Zeng said.
"How can you help me?"
"You don't really want to infect everyone, do you?" Chen Zeng's rapid heartbeat was conveyed to Ethan through the tentacles, "If you wanted to, you would have done it long ago. Your relatives were killed by the Earth Alliance. Dead, they are the ones who put you in the forbidden city and make you lose everything. They use moral value as a weapon to control anyone who dares to question them. No one dares to express their thoughts. Anyone they see as a threat is simply killed. Throw it to the Forbidden City, and do some tasks that are not human at all! We have been bullied by that tyrannical and cruel government for so long, and you are now like this because you were sent to dangerous places time and time again by them. Don’t you want revenge?"
Ethan looked at him with his head tilted, as if thinking, and then said in a tone of false realization, "Revenge? You mean overthrow the Earth Alliance and you take over?"
Chen Zeng didn't dare to open his mouth at this moment, because the tentacles dripping with some kind of black unknown mucus were rubbing against his mouth, and he said in a somewhat vague voice, "I don't deny that the country I want to create is indeed true. It is based on belief. Human beings are like a group of blind sheep. They need a strong shepherd who can make decisions for them, and a set of codes of conduct that they can follow! Without a supreme belief to give them so-called freedom They will fall apart, they will hate each other, and finally elect a few dictators who are more terrible than me. Have you forgotten the terrible world war before the establishment of the Earth Alliance?"
Ethan laughed, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, "What do you think is the difference between you and the members of the Earth Alliance? If you were to replace the current president, you would only be more brutal than her! You will formulate the so-called religion The law will suppress all desires of people, treat Omega as a reproductive machine, and kill anyone who doesn't believe in you or just doubts you, and it will also use the banner of justice and benevolence, just like the god you believe in! "
"Do you care?" Chen Zeng didn't flinch from his sharp words, "The one who infects the plague this time is not the Lord, but you."
Ethan stared at him for a long time, and finally said, "Yeah, I'm not even human. You are my enemy."
"We don't have to be enemies." Hearing the killing intent in Ethan's tone, Chen Zeng said hurriedly, "We know the whereabouts of Samuel and his father, and we also know who you are looking for. My believer Every corner of the Earth Alliance, I can help you!"
Ethan walked towards Chen Zeng, so close to an ambiguous distance.He pinched Chen Zeng's face and stared at him with a chilling gaze.
"You want to threaten me with Samuel?"
Under such a disadvantageous situation, Chen Zeng was able to remain calm, and forced a smile, "How dare I save you if I don't have any bargaining chips?"
Ethan's slender pupils turned slightly, as if he was thinking about something, then he suddenly let go of Chen Zeng, clapped his hands as if he felt dirty, and said, "Okay, I really want you to help me find someone. If If you haven’t found this person after arriving on Earth, you should prepare a coffin for yourself.”
"Who do you want?"
"Former Secretary of Energy, Abel Ross."
