Falling into the Abyss

In the sound of iron and steel collapsing like landslides, thunder and thunder, in the face of the end, despair to the point where the mind went blank and trembling, the expected sharp pain of being shattered and swallowed by the distorted space did not come.The sharp tinnitus was accompanied by a strong dizziness as it passed through the body like an electric shock. After that, the deafening noise suddenly and rapidly disappeared, leaving only a bit of piercing friction sound like lingering panting. The temperature in the air also seemed to have undergone a subtle change, and the smell The sour smell that has been permeating in the air has disappeared, replaced by a familiar faint warmth.

Ethan opened his eyes abruptly.The surrounding area is still filled with ominous red, the upper right corner of the room is distorted, and the walls made of the most advanced super carbon fiber material, which are harder than steel, are pulled together like crumpled thin paper balls, and the color is scorched black. And it is covered with holes of different shapes and sizes, as if it has been eroded by acid.The whole room was stretched towards the upper right corner, and Ethan was standing in the farthest corner, so the ground under his feet was only slightly deformed, which didn't seem to affect him much.

After a long time, he finally confirmed that the rotten distortion did not continue to expand. Only then did he feel the pain in his chest, and he slowly exhaled the breath that had been held in his chest for an unknown amount of time.Only then did he realize that he had actually forgotten to breathe.

He turned around sharply and saw that the computer screen behind him had gone black.He looked around in bewilderment, and tentatively walked out of the room.

The wide main road of the space station outside could no longer be recognized, only a tightly collapsed mass of countless substances was left, like a huge uneven wall that stood in front of him.Even the corridor where he was not yet "infected" was deformed, as if it had been stretched. In some places, bumps appeared one after another like boiling, the walls were broken and staggered, and the ground was winding. With huge cracks.Ethan simply didn't know how the space station hadn't lost pressure and sucked them all into the universe.

He slowly looked down at his body.Since the surrounding matter is deformed before infection, what about people?

He hastily unbuttoned his jacket and examined his body carefully.After not seeing anything abnormal, he was slightly relieved, but the back of his neck was always itchy for some reason.He reached out to scratch and found a patch of skin that was hard and dry near the hairline.

At this time, from a distant place behind him, a human voice was faintly heard.His mind was still numb, he turned around and walked in the direction of the voice.He has only one thought at the moment, to leave this place and go to a place with people.He walked faster and faster, and finally broke into a run.

The mechanical door that separated him from the other inhumans was still closed, and he rushed over and slammed his fist on the door, opening his mouth and shouting loudly.When he got here, he couldn't hear any sound suddenly. He panicked, and quickly found a chair that had fallen on the ground nearby, lifted it up and slammed it hard against the door.

Suddenly there was a series of mechanical movements on the door.Ethan's movements stopped in mid-air, as if he couldn't react, watching the door slowly rise inch by inch.

The person standing behind the door has blond hair and gray eyes.

Ethan let go of his hand, and the chair fell to the ground with a clanging sound, echoing in the deformed and dilapidated wide corridor.He opened his eyes wide, moved his feet suddenly, rushed forward in two or three steps, and hugged Tanisel.

It was at this moment that he finally realized clearly that he was saved.

In the last lesson, they pulled the space station back.

It was Tanithel who saved him, and saved him again.

The priest was stunned for a moment, his gray eyes lowered slightly.The person in the arms is taller than human beings, but in front of this Eve Alpha, he can only reach the height of his cheeks. At this moment, he rests his forehead on the priest's shoulder, and the hands around his waist are tightly grasping his back. clothes, as if afraid that he would run away.

Tanithel's heart softened for a moment, and he stretched out his hand, hugging Ethan's waist firmly.

The two of them stood quietly in the mess, like an oil painting full of decadence and dark style.

Ethan raised his head, narrowed his eyes slightly due to myopia and looked at Tanithel, and then seemed to have suddenly regained his sanity, let go of his hand awkwardly and quickly, and took a step back from the scene that he was so attached to. hug, but don't want to back away too far.

"I want to get out of here..." he whispered urgently.

Tanithel took the initiative to take a step forward this time, took off the outermost long white coat, and put it on Ethan's shoulders with a huff.When the warmth came, Ethan realized how cold he was before, but the biting coldness belonging to Neptune was ignored in the face of the fear of death.Tanithel wrapped his long arms around his body to keep him warm, and whispered, "I'll take you out."

Walking all the way, occasionally staggering.When the crisis of survival fades away, all kinds of previously neglected feelings flood in.His ribs and stomach hurt, and he may have been injured, and even the muscles on his face were so painful that his expression was distorted.The only thing that was dispelled was the chill. Even in the fringes of the solar system, the temperature on Tanithel's body was still like a furnace, making him feel so comfortable that he wanted to sigh.

Arriving at the unloading port behind the space station, Ethan saw some soldiers with guns, and the remaining eighteen non-humans were lining up to board a military spaceship.Ethan thought he should go and line up too.After going through the life and death calamity just now, seeing those people again made him feel a cold hatred from the bottom of his heart, but after all, he was still one of them, so he should be more sensible and take the initiative to go there.What's more, he didn't want Tanisel to send him there.

But just as he was about to move, he found that Tanisel's arms around his shoulders did not relax.

"You come with me." Tanithel said shortly.

The soldiers didn't stop them, even the gray hair just glanced over from a distance, and the snake-like gloomy gaze was still like a thorn in the back even after a distance.

Tanisel took him to another small spaceship, during which the two of them didn't say anything.When the spacecraft left the space station, Ethan turned his head and looked at the scene behind him projected on the bulkhead of the spacecraft.

The original spinning wheel-shaped space station has completely changed its appearance now, and the original shape cannot be seen at all.The west wing completely collapsed, turning into a lump of indescribable potholes, and the east wing was more than half destroyed. The huge and solid space buildings had all turned into strange and distorted shapes, like a large piece of melted plastic. In the last section, the original cylindrical corridor can still be vaguely seen.

Neptune reappeared in the universe, as well as the huge tenth space station and the starship trails across the night sky like shooting stars.The faint blue light soothed his nerves that were too tense before and almost ruptured.Before he knew it, Ethan fell into a deep sleep.

After turning on the autopilot system, Tanisel turned his head sideways, looked at Beta who was sleeping soundly in the co-pilot, and frowned tightly.The third eye on his forehead opened halfway, scanning Ethan's body.

There doesn't seem to be any major variation, but need to go back and do some checking.

He never thought that Ethan would be sent to perform this kind of mission. He had already negotiated with the Earth Alliance. If he wanted to reopen Project Zero, he had to keep Ethan.Although that mortal court of morality refused to revoke Ethan's inhuman status, at least he was allowed to raise Ethan anytime he needed assistance.

On the red earth, Ethan was radiated by the egg of the god of order, and then came into contact with the god of entropy, which was already very dangerous.Fortunately, no irreversible mutation was caused.But this time he was sent into a universe dominated by the power of the entropy god, and he didn't know how much the laws there had affected him.

The third eye was closed, and he didn't feel anything worth noting. Ethan's body structure didn't seem to have changed, but his sixth sense was still hanging in the air, as if to remind him, What to pay attention to.

But what should we pay attention to?

**********

Ethan's whole body twitched violently, and then woke up.

He had a nightmare of returning home only to find that his house, too, was twisted into a mass of molten plastic like a space station.In that mass of plastic, he could still hear his mother playing the cello, while his father stood on the ruins, looking down at him like a god of death, expressionless.Then, his body quickly bent and stretched backwards, howling in pain.

His eyes were wide open, and what he saw was the slowly rotating image of the northern lights on the top of the sleeping cabin.

The mattress under him was soft, the bedding was clean, and it smelled of a light and warm sandalwood fragrance.He remembered that this was the smell that Chitanisel had on him, and if it wasn't for his star-struck nose that day, he probably wouldn't be able to smell it.He liked the smell, it smelled warm and clean, reassuring.

Looking up slightly, he could see that his pair of glasses that had been hung up and repaired twice in a row were placed on the partition at the head of the bed.

He put on his glasses, reached out and scratched the itchy nape of his neck, and lifted the quilt to get up.Obviously this is a temporary reception room, standard space station hotel layout - a sleeping pod, a couch, a translucent electronic table with a slight angle, a smart wardrobe embedded in the wall, and ...the bathroom with the door closed.

And, there was an uproar of water coming from the bathroom.

Ethan swallowed.

Who's in the bathroom?Tanithel?

Why did he bring himself here?Shouldn't he be doing a detailed physical examination, writing a report, interviewing and then sending him back to the Forbidden City?

While hesitating, the sound of water suddenly stopped.Ethan's heart hung up.

When Tanisel came out of the bathroom, there was only a towel around his waist, which wrapped his narrow and tight waist and abdominal muscles, and outlined his firm buttocks.Wet drops of water dripped from the slightly curly blond hair, landed on the white and strong chest muscles, and slid down the side of the alluring forbidden fruit.

Ethan felt his cheeks were hot and his throat was dry, so he quickly turned his eyes away and cleared his throat, "Is this your room?"

Tanithel wiped the messy blond hair on the top of his head with another towel, and replied normally, "Yes."

"Why? What about other non-humans?"

"You're welcome."

"what?"

Tanithel stopped wiping his hair, raised one corner of his mouth, and smiled teasingly, "Don't you thank me for saving you first?"

Ethan rubbed his nose.

At this time, Tanisel made another amazing move. First, he casually tossed the towel to wipe his hair aside, and then casually tore off the bath towel around his waist, revealing two straight and slender legs and... The organ that once conquered his entire body.

Ethan's eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, and it took three seconds before he quickly turned around pretending to be nonchalant and studied the starry sky projected on the wall with great interest.He raised his head slightly on purpose, fearing that it would be embarrassing if he accidentally bleeds from the nose.

"You were probably too nervous. You didn't eat or drink for nearly two days. You fell asleep on the road and couldn't wake you up. I personally gave you a physical examination. From the results, you have no signs of infection. , your body has not changed significantly, except for a few bruises on your face and body, there is nothing particularly serious." Tanithel seemed to turn a blind eye to Ethan's embarrassment, or pretended not to see it on purpose, While talking, he put on a dark red silk nightgown. The soft silk material dangled down along the curves of his body. Ethan's mind was full of the night on the mother ship.

On the one hand, he was intoxicated in his mind, and on the other hand, he was slapping himself severely.Can you be clearer in your mind, there are more important things to ask now, don't just watch the beauty drooling...

"What... do you want from me?" Ethan clenched his fists and asked as if he had suddenly made up his mind.

Tanithel didn't seem to expect that Ethan's next question would be this, and raised his eyebrows in a little surprise.

Ethan pursed his dry lips, and pushed his glasses nervously, "In the beginning, on the boat to the Red Earth, it was obvious that you were more interested in Samuel. Why did you Sudden interest in me? I know we had one night, but I'm sure it was just what you wanted. I can't think of any reason for you to rush to Station Ten to save me."

I've been sleepy for the second half of the writing... I'll revise it when I get back to my senses...
