Falling into the Abyss

Just as Ethan felt his blood was completely ignited, trembling in bursts of that charming contact, when he was about to surrender again under the plunder of that beautiful and dangerous man, the priest suddenly drew a little distance away.The distance was not much, but it was enough to pull Ethan back to reality from his half-drunk surrender.He lowered his eyes in a strange and ashamed manner, but the priest gently raised his cheek and whispered softly:

"Although I really want to do some nasty things to you now, but you haven't eaten or drunk for two days, I don't want you to pass out in the middle."

Speaking ambiguous words in the gentlest voice, Ethan couldn't help sobbing unbearably in his throat.Tanithel walked to the door of the room with a low laugh.He had already sensed that a service robot was approaching their door, and it was just right to open the door at this moment. The robot was carrying a large tray full of silver-covered dinner plates and a hot can milk.He activated the dinner equipment in the room, and immediately a dining table and two chairs folded down from the wall, and the dinner plates were placed there.The cover was removed, revealing a series of strange foods that Ethan had never seen before. For example, one of the plates contained a piece of dark blue meat-like substance, and the other soup plate contained dark green soup. Another bottle contained a pink liquid like strawberry milk.

Although it is strange, the aroma it exudes is incomparable.It was only now that Ethan realized how hungry he was, so hungry that even when he saw such a strange food, his mouth was still drooling crazily.

Tanithel sat down at the other end of the dining table and made a gesture of invitation, "They probably prepared it according to my preferences. These are the traditional foods of Eve Star, which may be a bit strange to you people on Earth. , but I promise, the taste will never disappoint you."

Ethan sat down on the opposite chair, hesitantly picked up the strange diamond-shaped cutlery on the table, scooped up a spoonful of the dark green soup, first smelled it, and then quickly put it in his mouth like drinking poison.

To his surprise, the thing was unexpectedly delicious.It has a scallop-like flavor, but with less fishiness and a satin-smooth texture.Next, Ethan's appetite seemed to be unsealed, and he began to eat without caring about his image.The priest just looked at him and smiled, taking a sip of the amber liquid from the cup now and then.

After a hearty meal, he was even allowed to use the bathroom for a comfortable soak.When he came out, he saw that the priest was kneeling facing north, with his hands folded in front of his chest, reciting a prayer or something in a low voice.On the wall in front of him was a strange moving picture, a mass of dark shadows constantly changing shapes.Ethan couldn't see what the shadow looked like, but following Tanithel's chanting, it gradually elongated its boiling body, and many twisted beard-like things grew around it.

Then, at the last moment, he saw a huge green eye open in the thing's head...

The sudden intense fear made him cry out.Tanithel's eyes opened suddenly, and the image disappeared without a trace.He got up slowly, not upset by the interrupted prayer, and looked at Ethan kindly, "Scared you?"

"That's... what's that?"

"That is the main god I choose to believe in."

"That's not Shabu Nicholas..."

"No, there are many gods of entropy, and this god of ignorance is one of the most senior elders."

"Stupid?"

"Hahahaha, in the world of those gods, the meaning of ignorance is completely different from what we understand, it's more like the original meaning of chaos." Tanithel doesn't seem to intend to say too much about it The content of my beliefs, I sat on the side of the bed and lifted the quilt, and looked back to see Ethan still standing there, so I patted the seat next to me, "Why don't you come here, this bed is big enough to sleep the two of us. "

Ethan blushed, but he walked over without hesitation for a long time. Although he tried his best to conceal it, there was still a hint of eagerness in his gait.He lay on his back next to the priest with some restraint, unconsciously grabbing the bed sheet under him.Seeing his expectant and nervous look, the priest turned to look at him and laughed softly, "Although you look more palatable after taking a shower, it's just that you've just experienced too much, and you need a good rest tonight."

Ethan heard the teasing in his words, so he was even more ashamed, ashamed, and secretly scolded himself for being so hungry... He turned his back to the priest, pulled the quilt very close, and almost covered his head up.Looking at Ethan who was hiding like an ostrich, Tanithel's laughter became deeper and more joyful.He liked this Beta more and more.

Ethan felt a slender and powerful arm around his waist, and a solid warm chest pressed against his back.The priest's sleepy voice said behind him, "Have a good dream."

He suddenly felt his nose sour and wanted to cry.

Even in the second universe, facing the fear of being isolated and about to be shattered by space, he never shed a tear.But now, being hugged tenderly from behind like this, something in my heart suddenly collapsed.

It's not that he has never slept in the same bed with someone, but the last time he slept with Samuel, it was just sleeping separately.But the safe and tolerant embrace of the priest reminded him of the distant memory of sleeping soundly in his father's arms in his childhood.It also reminded him of the nights spent in Roland's arms.

How long has it been since I haven't felt such warmth?

After the most extreme fear and loneliness, this embrace seemed to him a long overdue redemption.At that moment, Tanithel's words that had been implanted in his brain echoed like ghosts, he sacrificed himself, gave everything, and handed it over to the blond devil.At this moment, for the sake of this warmth, he might really be willing to be his slave.

This is his greatest weakness.

**********

When he woke up the next day, the priest had disappeared.The temperature on the bed had cooled down, and Ethan stretched out his hand in a daze, touching the pillow that Tanisel had been lying on, as if he could still vaguely touch a little sunlight on the tip of his hair.

Gaining warmth, but losing it too quickly, such a subtle gap evoked a sense of loss in my heart.

A set of clean inhuman uniforms was placed beside him, and the door was opened not long after he had just washed and washed.It was not Tanithel who came in, but a soldier.

The soldier took him aboard a spaceship, and he saw other inhumans again.

Many of those nonhumans avoided his sight on purpose, Adam in particular.He pursed his lips tightly, and there was no trace of warmth in his green eyes.He sat down in the corner seat and fastened his seat belt.During the entire flight, he didn't talk to any non-human beings, and no one spoke to him, except for Jarvan who occasionally glanced at him.

As soon as he returned to the Forbidden City, he received the punishment notice from the Red Earth.All the seven non-humans who participated in that mission escaped, but Nian was given a reduced punishment on the part of Priest Eve to speak for them, and their moral value was deducted by [-] points.

Ethan smiled wryly and deducted ten points. In addition to this Neptune mission, his score is currently negative five.And these two missions were close to death, if it weren't for Tanisel, it would have been explained in it long ago.

It seems that the so-called forbidden city is like a black hole, and once you enter it, you cannot escape. It is not an exaggeration.

When Samuel saw him coming back, he didn't express anything special.At that time, he was going to the clinic to donate blood for a physical examination. Every time he donated blood, he could get one point of moral value. It seemed that Samuel wanted to make up for the lost points as soon as possible.

"Who made that bruise on your face?" Samuel asked casually before closing the door.

Ethan shrugged, "I hit it myself."

"Don't talk, I've been beating people all my life, can't I see that it was done by people?"

Ethan raised his eyes with a calm expression, "I said, I hit it myself."

Samuel frowned slightly, feeling that Ethan's expression was a little darker than before.He didn't continue to press, and planned to ask other non-humans to find out what happened.

In the days that followed, life returned to the pattern of the month before the trip to Neptune.Get up early every day, eat breakfast quickly, and then go to the pipeline maintenance department, wear a helmet, take a shovel and strong solvent and other cleaning tools, and drill into the narrow underground pipeline with several other non-humans to search for blocked pipeline branches .He saw Taifeng once through the barbed wire fence of the main road that traversed the Forbidden City, but found that the once lofty Omega had now attached himself to an Alpha inhuman leader in the West District, with two rows of conspicuous teeth marks on his neck.It seems that the leader found a way to transfer Tai Feng to the West District, temporarily allowing him to escape from Gray Mao's clutches.

Ethan became more silent than before, rarely chatting with other non-humans.Carrying tools, he silently followed at the back of the team, trudging through the knee-high black sewage, and came to the pipe blocked by silt.The only light in the pipe came from the spotlights tied to their helmets. He pushed away a dead mouse that floated in front of him, and then continued to shovel the shovel into the black "mud mountain" one after another.The pipeline here is very fragile due to its age, and explosives cannot be used to remove the silt, so this most primitive method has to be used.

The other two non-humans were smoking and chatting next to each other, talking about Chen Zeng's sermon a few days ago being forcibly interrupted by the guards, and the other small non-human was very angry.The taller Asian man said that some guards were also listening to Chen Zeng's sermon, maybe it was just for the higher-ups.

It seems that this emerging theory of the doomsday of the Great Evil God has formed a certain popular trend in the Forbidden City.Ethan remembered that when he went out early in the morning, he could still see some non-human beings kneeling in his room and praying to a cross he made.Ethan had never seen so many devout believers around him, and some even began to privately circulate pamphlets about the prophecy of the Great Evil God.

A group of desperadoes who were trapped in the Forbidden City who didn't believe in good and evil suddenly began to believe the same prophecy, always feeling that this was not a good thing.

He knew only too well what happens when an idea spreads through a crowd in the form of panic.He sighed, and reached out to scratch the dry skin on the back of his neck.
