Falling into the Abyss

The test tube made a crisp crashing sound when it fell on the ground. Fortunately, the material of the container only looks like glass, but is actually an extraordinarily strong tempered material, so it will not fall apart.

However, Ethan didn't care about whether the entropy god's body fluid in the test tube would leak out. He stepped back suddenly, until he shrank into a small ball at the corner of the wall.He scratched his hair with his hands, nervously uttering a frightened raving.

Seen, seen, seen... He didn't know what had just happened, but he knew, he was seen by that huge green eye, and there was no escape.

He didn't even understand what he saw, and he didn't know who the black man who appeared at the end was, but he knew that the images of those cities came from an extremely ancient past, so ancient that even the universe might not even be born.Those weird buildings cannot be built on any planet in the existing universe, they are all unreasonable shapes, which make people dizzy and confused.The huge emerald sun in the sky that day, like the emerald green eyes, exudes a dirty light, looking down on everything in the universe.

It is a universe long lost and beyond human comprehension.

And what's in that pyramidal tower, empty and empty, is madness in its purest form.He will be devoured, absorbed completely.In an infinite time in the future he will cease to exist, as if he never existed.

He don't want this... that's horrible, no more, never was, just a void...

Suddenly, his body was surrounded by familiar gentle strength, and the faint sandalwood fragrance enveloped him like a gentle cloud, and the peaceful power penetrated into his boundless fear little by little along with the light blue light of the egg of the preface. among.

Tanithel hugged him, and noticed that the back of Ethan's neck, which was exposed due to holding his head in both hands, was covered with black blood vessels that spread all the way to the shoulders and neck, or lines like continuously forked branches.The skin where the fine lines reach is dry and cracked, and even oozes blood.At the moment when Ethan was most frightened just now, he even felt that he saw something move under the skin, slightly propping up the skin.

Fear... Fear is the catalyst for mutation.There was a voice in Tanithel's mind saying this.

He raised his spiritual power to the extreme, and the brilliance in the silver eyes on his forehead became more and more dazzling.While trying to bring Ethan's sanity back to reality, the dark power in the other party's mind is also constantly dragging his mind, and scattered pictures are also invading his mind, the sudden flash of green eyes and the dark humanoid Gitani Searle felt the hairs all over his body stand on end.He did not expect to see the illusion of the god of ignorance he has always believed in and its messenger—the black crouching god of chaos, and he did not expect that things would evolve to this point by themselves... He couldn't tell whether he should feel joy or fear .

He began to wonder whether the decisions he had made before, and whether the purpose he had never revealed were not his own thoughts, but formed under the influence of the suppressed and mysterious power of the chaotic universe core he worshiped ?

Was everything he experienced in his life a trap set by the treacherous and cunning God of Chaos?

He tried his best to stabilize his turbulent mood, and whispered in Ethan's ear, his voice continuously penetrated into the other's ear canal like a spell.

"Ethan, come back, come back to me."

Tanithel's voice was the last straw that Ethan's nearly frenzied consciousness could grasp.He desperately grasped at that sentence, pulling himself out of the confusing images little by little.He found that he was being hugged by Taniser from behind, his hand was tightly grasping Taniser's wrist, and because of too much force, a trace of blood was pinched on that white wrist.The blood of the Eve people is slightly different from that of the people on Earth. The purple-red liquid is stained on the fingertips, as if accidentally stained with rose juice.

Ethan relaxed his grip on Tanithel, but still refused to let go of his hand completely.He blinked constantly, as if trying to make sure that the place he was in was reality.

Ethan asked in an unsteady voice, "Where is that place? I saw... a green sun, and a big city with many bugs... I don't want to go there!"

"Shhh..." Tanithel reassured, "It's just that some population memories that exist in the entropy god's body tissue have resonated with you, and you are safe."

"Population memory?"

"It is a kind of memory recorded in the genetic information of a race. It is not felt at ordinary times, but it will be affected by them subtly. Generally speaking, people should not have such a memory when they indirectly come into contact with the entropy god's limb samples. A big reaction, because human beings evolved mainly under the guidance of the power of the God of Order, so there is no population memory of the God of Entropy." Tanisel spoke slowly, as if worried that Ethan's chaotic thoughts would not be able to understand what he said.He turned Ethan's body around and looked directly at him, "The reason why you have such a big reaction is that you were probably infected by the God of Entropy on the Red Earth, but this infection was infected by the God of Prologue you received in the early days. Radiation suppression, until you enter the second universe dominated by the power of the entropy god, the power of the egg of the prologue god is greatly weakened, and then mutations begin to occur."

Hearing the words "Entropy God Infection", the first thing Ethan thought of was the scene of Jeff's whole body covered with moving pustules, and a layer of goose bumps immediately appeared on his arms.He asked desperately, "Will I become a worm like the one on the red earth?"

"Your mutation seems to be different from theirs. To be honest, I don't know what will happen." Tanisel looked at Ethan's expression, and knew that if he said yes, this Beta didn't know if he would directly suicide.But he really didn't lie to him, because the lines on the back of Ethan's neck were obviously not seen by people who were infected on the red earth before.He saw that Ethan didn't get any comfort, so he sighed and said, "I can try to suppress the mutation in your body with the radiation of the egg of the order god, but I don't know if it will be successful."

Ethan firmly grasped the hem of his shirt, his eyes were filled with the begging that a person at the end of the road would show, and he said in an almost forced tone, "Help me, I don't want to be like that no matter what!"

Tanisel turned his head to look at the egg of the preface, feeling a little embarrassed.He had brought an egg of the preface to the red earth without authorization before, and completely consumed the precious thing. After returning to Eve star, he was almost sent to the religious court by the priests who didn't like him. It was not for the Pope and his uncle to protect him, and he could not escape safely.Part of the reason why he was secretly sent to Earth to assist in the research and development of antimatter was to let him come out to avoid the limelight.

If he abuses the egg of the God of Preface this time for the sake of this human being, he will probably cause a lot of trouble again.

But if you don't save him...

Tanithel patted Ethan's back reassuringly, and made up his mind, "Okay, I will help you. But you can't let anyone know about this, not even Samuel."

Ethan nodded quickly.I'm afraid he'll agree to anything as long as the mutation can be stopped.

Tanithel gently grabbed Ethan's wrist, causing him to loosen his clothes, and then stood up and walked towards the altar carrying the egg of the god of preface.He first picked up the bottle containing the body fluid of the genital goddess on the ground and put it back into the altar, then looked at the small blue thing carefully for a while, took it off the altar with both hands, and hopped his fingers lightly on it, as if on the altar. A series of movements that are as agile and complex as playing the piano.The blue light of the Prologue God's Egg suddenly dimmed, and even went out completely.

Ethan saw that Tanithel took a small piece of blue from the egg, and then he tapped the surface of the egg of the Prologue God again as before, with an extremely focused and careful look, and even felt a little like walking on thin ice .

It was only when the egg of the Preface God emitted a charming blue halo again that Tanithel heaved a sigh of relief, holding the blue fragment tightly in his hand, walked to the door and pulled Ethan up, " let's go."

Tanithel was in a hurry, and Ethan followed suit.He noticed that the floor button that Tanisel pressed was not the floor he lived in before, but a place about three floors lower than that.Before leaving the elevator, Tanisel reached out and pulled up Ethan's collar, covering the inhuman collar around his neck.

There were few people in the bright and clean corridors, except for occasional well-dressed senior researchers passing by them, or greeting the priests, or just nodding their heads.No one paid much attention to the mundane Beta behind the priest.Tanisel took Ethan into a very luxurious suite, apparently specially arranged for him.The priest signaled Ethan to sit on the sofa, while he himself entered the bedroom.

Ethan sat restlessly on the sofa, took off his glasses and wiped them with his sleeves, and rubbed his feet on the soft carpet on the floor.

After about 10 minutes, Tanisel finally came out.The blue shard in his hand was gone, replaced by a pen-like transparent thin tube with brass-colored metal rings on both ends, covered with patterns in the style of Eve's planet.In the transparent part of the test tube, there is some liquid with blue precipitate.

"This is a small fragment I took from the egg of the Prologue God. I crushed it and divided it into five parts to make this injection. I will inject the first part into the back of your neck later. Let’s see how the effect is before deciding whether to continue the injection.” Tanithel squatted down in front of Ethan, and looked at him seriously, “Excessive exposure to the radiation of the power of the sequence god will also cause problems, I dare not do it all at once. Too much for you."

Ethan pursed his lips tightly and nodded vigorously, "I believe in you."

Tanithel was slightly surprised, as if he wanted to liven up the atmosphere, and smiled at him, "Don't believe me so quickly, we are..."

"A relationship of mutual use." Ethan accepted his words as if nothing had happened, and smiled back at him with some bitterness, "You just know that I am still valuable to you, so you won't let me have an accident, right? ?”

At that moment, Tanithel's seldom turbulent heart finally felt a bit of long-lost sadness, and the other's pale smile reminded him of his father's smile that wanted to comfort him before he died.He frowned inadvertently, stood up and gently supported Ethan's shoulder.Ethan also pulled down his collar and lowered his head in cooperation, revealing his neck covered with many thin black lines.

Tanithel noticed that some fine lines had begun to creep into the hair.He activated the syringe and pressed it on the back of the neck where the thread is most dense.
