Falling into the Abyss

Ethan doesn't know much about physics, but he has also heard that once antimatter comes into contact with ordinary matter, it will immediately annihilate and release a lot of energy, which is one of the reasons why antimatter has not been able to be produced and preserved in large quantities.However, the priest said that he had access to anti-matter?

"...After contact, shouldn't I also be annihilated together?"

"Before that, of course we have to conduct multiple experiments to make sure that you can withstand the radiation of the Prologue God's Egg for a period of time like last time before considering whether to let you touch it. I will not let you have an accident, after all, you are important to me It's very precious." Tanithel showed a little tenderness in his brows, and reached out to touch Ethan's cheek lightly.

Ethan was deeply immersed in those silver-gray pupils, and it took a long few seconds before he forcibly pulled his gaze away, "I can't think of how the egg of the preface can help create antimatter."

"Do you know what the traditional method of making antimatter is?"

"Build a hadron collider, use particles to hit a target repeatedly to generate anti-particles, and then use a reducer to capture anti-particles." Ethan recalled the reports he had read about Project Zero before answering this way.

"Yes, but this method consumes a lot of energy, and the antimatter produced is very little and cannot be stored stably for a long time. The star countries in the galaxy have never been able to break through these two barriers. However, I guess that the egg of the preface may It will be the key to a breakthrough. Although that little thing is also a mystery to us Eves, it obviously has the ability to stabilize matter and transform one substance into another. As long as it is given enough It can reduce or increase the number of neutrons or protons in the nucleus at will. However, we have never tried to use it to convert the charge of protons or electrons.”

"You mean... converting protons into negative charges and electrons into positive charges... Isn't this a technology that directly converts ordinary matter into antimatter? How is this possible?"

The priest shrugged, "For me, nothing is impossible."

Ethan opened his mouth slightly, and asked after a moment of stupefaction, "If you Eve has something like this, why don't you make antimatter yourself? Why do you come to help our Earth Alliance?"

Tanithel showed a helpless and irritated expression, "It's very simple, because our religious beliefs do not allow us to create antimatter, which may bring major disasters in the universe. The unanimous condemnation of the Temple. Our teachings believe that the universe originally had equal masses of positive matter and antimatter, which means that the universe should have been empty, and all matter would annihilate each other. The reason for the explosion. However, a force, probably the order of the gods, isolated a part of the antimatter from our universe, so we have the Milky Way and other galaxies where we are now full of stars and life. Antimatter For us, It is a dangerous existence like a demon, and it should never be touched."

Ethan frowned, "So you are violating the doctrine? Do you come to the Earth Alliance this time, does your superior agree?"

Tanithel played with the Wanxi ball in his hand, and said with a smile, "Let's put it this way, besides being a priest, my father who passed away was also the Grand Duke of Eve, so they can't control me. Other stars The country is secretly developing anti-matter weapons. Only we stick to this outdated teaching. It will be a matter of time before we are destroyed. They also understand this truth, but they are afraid of being infamous for being deviant. If they don’t want to, then I will do it well. .”

"Aren't you afraid of being expelled from the temple? Are you afraid of being scolded?"

"Mouths are on them, and it's up to them how they want to use them.

Ethan was speechless. The man in front of him, who looked elegant and beautiful, had such courage, which made him admire him.

If it was him, I'm afraid he wouldn't have the guts to do what he thinks is right. He would probably just silently put away his thoughts and drift with the tide for life.

But even so, didn't he get himself into the Forbidden City?

"Don't talk about those business matters, I have plenty of time to talk about it tomorrow." Tanisel suddenly leaned over again, and lightly bit Ethan's ear, which made Beta's body tremble.

"Just now you said that you are not interested, do you have it now?"

**********

Ethan woke up the next morning to find that his wrists were still tied to the head of the bed with the sash from the priest's collar.He tugged but couldn't pull it away. As soon as he turned his head and saw the priest, he was sleeping beside him with his arms around him. His slender golden eyelashes cast a faint shadow on his lower eyelids, and his beautiful nose rubbed against his shoulder. He looked exceptionally sleepy. Sophisticated and quiet.

Ethan's heart softened for a while, and he didn't want to disturb him at first, but his arm was so sore that it seemed to be broken, so he opened his mouth as if to call him.Who would have thought that his voice was so hoarse that he couldn't even utter a single word.His face was hot, recalling how loudly he yelled last night, and he didn't know if the sound insulation of this room was good, and whether the gray fur next door could hear it...

He couldn't move, and his memory floated back to the decadent and extravagant night yesterday.The priest tied his hands to the head of the bed, poured red wine on his navel, and licked it off bit by bit.Just recalling this episode made him groan in shame, wanting to bury himself deep in the quilt.

Hearing his whisper, the priest woke up slowly.She stared at him with sleepy eyes, and then kissed him lightly on the chin.

"morning."

Ethan cleared his throat vigorously, and managed to make a terribly hoarse voice, "You...cough cough...can you let me go?"

The priest seemed to have just realized that they were exhausted at the end of last night and fell asleep directly, and even forgot to untie Ethan.He immediately kissed Ethan's forehead apologetically, and untied the sash.Ethan moved his arm sadly as if it was about to be broken, and just about to sit up, he let out another cry of pain.Somewhere was obviously overused, sore and numb.He glared reproachfully at the priest who was smiling happily, and stood up while leaning on his waist and grabbing the railing at the head of the bed.Realizing that he was naked, he quickly grabbed the sheets on the bed and wrapped himself up, and limped towards the bathroom.

Halfway through the wash, the shower curtain was pulled open with a bang.Ethan's head and face were covered with shampoo foam, and he couldn't open his eyes.But just relying on the faint sandalwood fragrance tinged with the lingering aftertaste of desire, he knew that it was Tanisel.His heartbeat accelerated again, and he felt another bare chest pressed against his back, and hot water snaked down the two bodies.

"Shall we wash together?" The priest stroked his back lightly, his long fingers sliding down the spine.

Ethan warned in a low voice, "Don't do weird things!"

"Is it weird to wipe your back for you?"

"Don't touch me! Ah..."

As a result, the bath that could have been finished in 10 minutes was extended to an hour, and Ethan found two rows of teeth marks under the collar "grievously" afterwards.Ethan had no choice but to turn up the collar of the inhuman uniform to block the two rows of purple marks.

The priest had already left first, and Ethan had just fastened the last button when he heard the door open again.Grayfur stood at the door, looking at him with an elusive but definitely malicious smile.

"Looks like you slept well last night?"

Ethan put on his glasses, didn't answer his question, just avoided him and wanted to go out.But Grayfur grabbed his arm and whispered, "So that's why the alien insisted you come to this experiment? Because he likes your ass?"

Ethan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Listen, I was nosy about you and Taifeng before, but I almost lost my life on Neptune. Haven't we evened?"

"Even? Did you make a mistake?" Gray Mao raised one lip coldly, "I just don't like you."

After finishing speaking, he actually pressed the electric shock button on the collar for no reason.Ethan suddenly felt as if his neck was being twisted hard, followed by numbness that quickly spread to his whole body accompanied by convulsions.He had only seen other non-humans being electrocuted before, but this was the first time he experienced it himself.He couldn't even make a sound, his whole body seemed to be out of control, stretched so tight like a bowstring that was about to break at any time.He couldn't think, his brain seemed to explode.

Although there was only a momentary electric shock, it felt like a journey of life and death.Ethan lay on the ground and gasped for air, like a dehydrated fish.What he could see in front of his eyes were gray-haired military boots, and the toe of the boots was lazily pressed against his forehead.

"Don't think that just because you are Eve's toy, you can be equal to me, you trash." He took a cigarette from his arms, put it in his mouth, and lit it with a lighter, "Do you think that alien can Did it save you every time?"

When Ethan entered the medical laboratory where Tanithel was located, he tried his best not to look so embarrassed, but the priest obviously noticed something, and his eyebrows frowned slightly.

"What happened?" Tanithel looked at Gray Hair with some displeasure.

Gray Mao replied casually, "The superior has an order that he is not allowed to communicate with unauthorized citizens. He violated the rules just now."

At this time, Ethan just wanted to calm down, avoiding Tanisel's probing gaze, and scratched the dry skin on the back of his neck.He noticed that Tanisel was not the only one in the laboratory, but also a Beta who was about 60 years old, with a refined appearance and a very elegant appearance.The name tag on his chest reads "Dr. Thomas Bruno".And another younger Alpha seems to be a doctor, wearing gloves and preparing some medical equipment for drawing blood.

"You must be Mr. Eldridge." Dr. Bruno didn't wait for Tanisel's introduction, and stretched out his hand to him in a very friendly manner, "I am the main person in charge of this project."

Ethan held his hand, nodded humbly, "I've seen your name in many reports."

"Yes, I occasionally met you from a distance when I went back to the Energy Bureau to report on my work, but maybe you don't remember it anymore. It's a pity that I met you under such circumstances now."

The other party's sincere tone made Ethan very fond of him, and he was very surprised that he was willing to shake hands with this inhuman person.Most legal citizens avoid any contact with non-human beings, even words, let alone physical contact.

"I'm ready," said the doctor on the other side. "Mr. Eldridge, please sit here."

The blood drawing process was quick, but the doctor seemed to be about to analyze his blood sample with an extremely complicated and sophisticated instrument in this laboratory, and the priest and Bruno had no intention of leaving.Gray Mao was invited out politely, probably because he didn't want to disclose too much information to irrelevant people.

Ethan watched as the doctor dripped the blood sample in the test tube onto a sensor, and then it slowly retracted into the boxy box of the machine.Not long after, the smooth screen of the box began to display many patterns of blood cells and a series of complex data, which changed with the doctor's gestures, and even began to be accurate to the nucleus and DNA information inside some white blood cells.

Ethan saw that the doctor's expression didn't seem quite right.He kept switching the information interface, then suddenly clicked his tongue, stood up and looked at Ethan, "Sorry, there may be some problems with the blood sample I took just now, do you mind if I take a little more?"

Ethan didn't know what was going on, so he just said, "It's okay."

Tanithel also came over and asked, "What's the problem?"

"I don't know. It may be that the blood sampled just now was contaminated, or there may be a problem with the machine. Let me try again." The doctor's tone was a little hasty, and his movements were crisp and quick to draw out a little red on Ethan's arm again. into the machine for analysis.

However, the doctor's frown not only showed no signs of loosening, but the wrinkles deepened.He even restarted the machine once, but he still had the expression on his face.

"What happened?" Even Dr. Bruno wondered now.

The doctor took a few steps back, shook his head as if wondering, and looked up at Ethan, "This blood...is not quite right."
