Falling into the Abyss

The blue liquid quickly penetrated into the blood vessel, and Tanisel suddenly raised the syringe, leaving five blood spots on the skin.In the first few minutes, Ethan didn't feel any changes, but the waiting for the rain to come made him extremely uneasy.In order to appease him, Tanisel poured him a glass of red wine, and he drank it without even looking at it.

The wine diffused an ambiguous heat in his abdominal cavity, which made his nerves relax a little.However, at this moment, a sharp stabbing pain spread from the back of the neck, as if he had been bitten by something.He whimpered in pain, and stretched out his hand reflexively to touch it.He felt something move under the skin, like a pulse, but the pulse disappeared after only a moment.

Immediately afterwards, the stabbing pain began to spread down the spine, intensified, and began to spread to the limbs.At first, Ethan was able to hold back the fine and itchy pain that seemed to be pierced all over his body by a needle as thin as a cow's hair, but as time passed and the pain did not lessen, it became more and more unbearable.His brows were tightly frowned, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, his teeth were biting into his lips, and his hands were tightly clutching the sofa under him.But even so, there was no way to suppress the groan of pain leaking from the lips.

Tanithel saw his eyes tightly closed to endure the pain, and reached out to touch his shoulder.But as soon as his hand touched the opponent's body, Ethan's whole body trembled, as if the place where he touched was burned, he dodged suddenly, and an uncontrollable cry of pain came out of his throat.He seemed to use all his strength to open his eyes and look at Tanithel, struggling to say, "Don't touch me...it hurts..."

Seeing him pretending to be calm, Tanisel felt a little distressed.He whispered, "The primordial power before the birth of countless universes is fighting fiercely in your body, as long as you survive it, you will be fine."

Ethan nodded reluctantly, curled up on the sofa.He seemed to want to reduce the contact area of ​​his body with the outside world, probably because the forces of order and chaos were fighting in every cell in his body, so any additional stimulation would be very painful to him.

Tanithel knelt down in front of him, closed his eyes, but opened the third eye on his forehead to the limit.He could see the flow of energy wrestling in Ethan's body, wrapping and biting each other like vines that had been tightly entangled since birth.People always think that order is good and chaos is evil, but in the mysterious third eye of the Eve, the two energies are actually the same disturbing and frightening color, which does not exist in the spectrum of the naked eye s color.

Tanithel softly chanted the incantations written in Eve language, which were short sentences composed of syllables that would relax people's consciousness. Combined with the trained spiritual power of the priests, they could temporarily form a spiritual field.He continued to expand his spiritual field until it completely enveloped Ethan in it.At that moment, the two forces boiling in Ethan's body were also impacting his consciousness.

In this way, priests can temporarily control animals of the same kind, other races or even lower animals whose mental power is weaker than them.But such ability is also very dangerous.When he is faced with an overly powerful spiritual power, he may be caught by the opponent instead, and then completely swallowed.Although Ethan's mental power is not strong now, he still has the power of the God of Entropy and the God of Order in his body, which has had a great impact on him.For a moment, he almost wanted to retreat immediately, but Ethan's unconscious sigh made him change his mind.

Tanithel tried to stabilize his will, put all his attention on Ethan's brain, and tried to cut off the pain perception in his body.He wove his spirit into a filter, wrapping Ethan's consciousness layer by layer.Those shocking shocks kept attacking his spirit, and that kind of stinging pain also began to appear on his body.

Ethan's expression relaxed a lot at that moment, and the pain he felt suddenly decreased a lot. He thought he was finally going to make it through, but when he opened his eyes, he saw the priest kneeling in front of him with his eyes closed. , the single eye between the forehead exudes a dazzling silver-white streamer, which looks gorgeous and holy.However, when you look closely, you can find that his face is pale, his brows are knit together, and his hands are tightly clenched into fists.Clearly, he was in pain.

He was taking at least half of Ethan's pain.

Ethan froze.He didn't even know how the other party did it, but he just knew.He could feel Tanithel's breath lingering around him, like the gentlest kiss and touch, and like a solid copper wall, blocking him from the original sharp pain like a thousand needles.

At that moment, in the still unbearable pain, the shock that Ethan felt was indescribable.No one has ever done this for him, even if he is used, there has never been such tenderness.

He opened his mouth, wanting to tell Tanithel to stop, "I can..."

However, Tanisel interrupted him, "Don't make a sound."

Ethan had no choice but to keep his mouth shut. He still didn't dare to move or touch Tanithel.They just sat opposite each other, bearing the same pain.Time passed minute by minute, as long as centuries.When the pain finally subsided, and when the black lines on the back of Ethan's neck finally shrank and faded like withered roots, Tanithel finally closed his third eye, and his clothes were completely drenched in sweat.And Ethan was even more collapsed on the sofa, panting with his mouth wide open, his eyes were blank.

Tanithel propped up his body, sat on the sofa and pushed Ethan's body over, lifted his collar and looked at the back of his neck.Those black lines are almost gone, leaving only a small thin black line buried at the hairline.

"It seems to work." Tanithel's voice was also a little weak, but there was a bit of reassurance.He chuckled, "I think you probably don't want to inoculate the remaining four injections at once, do you?"

Ethan also laughed lowly, tried to turn his body back, and looked sideways at the priest, "I've changed my mind, I'll just become a god of entropy."

The two of them slumped on the sofa like this, looking at each other sideways and giggling.There wasn't really anything funny about the whole incident, but Ethan just wanted to laugh and couldn't stop.He reached out to wipe his wet temples and brushed away his sweat-soaked hair, "Sometimes I wonder if I'm the most fucking unlucky person in the world? Well, I just want to talk to someone, talk to me as soon as I talk After entering the Forbidden City, I was sent to a ghost place like the Red Earth and got infected as soon as I entered. It’s a pity that the Forbidden City doesn’t allow you to buy drugs.”

Tanithel raised the corner of his mouth, "But you met me?"

"...What's so happy about meeting you?" Ethan said stiffly.

Tanithel's beautiful eyes squinted at him, "You look happy every time you see me?"

"Do you know that human psychology calls you a narcissistic personality?"

"Do you know that your behavior is called changing the subject?"

Ethan chuckled again, then turned his head slowly, looking seriously at the smooth and graceful side face of the priest, "Why are you helping me like this?"

"I told you you meant a lot to me."

"Is it my bloodline? I believe that if you are looking for it, you should be able to find someone else, right? And I have mutated now, which means that my bloodline can't save me."

Tanithel shook his head, "You humans probably won't believe what we believe, but for us Eves, there is a kind of intuition that transcends rationality that has been guiding our behavior. We call it super-sense. My Super sense tells me that you are the one I need."

"...You're right, I just can't understand..."

"There is nothing to understand. The universe of the God of Preface will always give you an illusion that everything happens for a reason and has a result. But in fact, in the world of the God of Entropy, maybe something happens without any reason, It just happened." Tanithel also turned to look at him, "You don't need to try to understand anything, and you don't need to try to control anything, live every minute and every second of the moment, It will make you a lot easier."

"Live in the present? Hahaha, it's easy to say." Ethan murmured, "I have known what my future life will be like since I was a child, but I never thought that one day I would become a monster."

"Before I was seven years old, I thought I would become an interstellar travel merchant, the kind who specialized in selling toys. Later, when I was seven years old, I was taken into the Misa Palace by an uncle who would visit me every few months. It turned out that That uncle was Grand Duke Eve Star, and I was his illegitimate son. His original wife died of illness and left him no heirs, so I was designated as his heir. Since then, I have always thought that I would inherit his title, until I was 17 years old, in order to be able to contact the egg of the preface god to renew the life of my dying father, I voluntarily accepted the soul purification ceremony and became a priest."

Ethan opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth slightly, but he couldn't speak.He had never heard Tanisel talk about himself, and the priest always looked calm and composed, as if he was born to be a priest to control the overall situation, so he never thought that Tanisel was becoming a priest What life might have been like before.

Tanithel looked at his shocked face, and showed a rare, somewhat tired smile, "Look, no one can imagine what they will become in the future."

"Then did you save your father?"

"No." Simple answer, without any redundant explanation.Tanithel sighed softly, barely audible.

In order to save his father, he abandoned secular life in his youth and dedicated his body and mind to God, but it was all in vain.

No wonder he was always different from the other Eve priests in his impression, no wonder he was always so deviant.I don't know if he watched his father die, did he regret his desperate choice at that moment?

If Tanithel in Ethan's heart was like a demigod omnipotent before, now he is lying pale beside him, his brilliance is gone, but he finally looks like a man of flesh and blood.Ethan felt a faint distress in his heart, he leaned over, and for the first time took the initiative to press a light kiss on Tanithel's forehead.

Tanithel raised his head and looked at those charming green eyes.He reached out and caressed Ethan's eyebrows, then suddenly held his face, and kissed Ethan's lips again.

Lips and tongues intertwined, ears rubbed together, Ethan responded enthusiastically, with a certain ease of abandoning all shackles.

He wouldn't admit that he might have been infatuated with the priest.But at least at this moment, he wants to hug the blond man in front of him wholeheartedly, wants to forget the possible terrifying future, wants to allow his heart that has been torn once to throb again, just like nothing Injured like that.
