Falling into the Abyss
Chapter 58 Atonement: The Faun Star
After Ethan woke up, the first thing he smelled was a strong and choking smell of blood.His line of sight gradually focused, and the first thing he saw was a piece of blue, overlapping in depth and light, covering everything in sight.Then, he saw the remains of corpses all over the place.
At first, he couldn't see those human bodies at all, until he noticed the hairs stained with blue liquid and some hands sticking out of the pile of corpses.Overwhelming, the limbs belonging to the horned people were soaked in blue blood, attracting many strange birds with red feathers, pecking at those eyeballs that could not rest in peace.
Ethan grunted in his throat, letting out a whimper that he didn't even hear himself.He saw that there was also a lot of red blood mixed in the blue everywhere, those human limbs scattered on the ground, the heads that had been cut in half, and the truncated bodies that seemed to be trying to crawl far away upper body.Everything, as far as the eye can see, is death.
There was a pain in the back of the neck, and there was a strange feeling floating in the air.It's a strange feeling... The body seems to be extended... Why can he see a lot of strange colors, completely incomprehensible colors all over the night sky, why can he see the forest behind him, why can he see the forest that has already surpassed his height? overlooking the entire empty field?
The shelf beside him was empty, and the chain seemed to be melted by some force.
What about the rest?Where's Samuel?
what is going on?Is this hell?How did so many people die?
The visual impact made him lean over and vomit, but when he saw the filth he had vomited out, he couldn't stop vomiting more, coughing and choking, and occasionally hissing in horror.
There was a lot of flesh and blood in the filth, and he saw a purple eyeball in it.
Something moved at the back of his neck, he turned his head slightly, and the blood froze all over his body.
It was an extremely ugly black tentacle, with more small tentacles growing at the end, dripping translucent mucus continuously.The mucus dripped on his still locked left hand, and the iron chain hissed and emitted ominous green smoke, and was quickly dissolved.But his skin didn't respond to the mucus, but the sticky touch like saliva made him shudder.
Soon his left hand was free, and the first thing he did was reach for the back of his neck.
Then he let out an almost inhuman scream.
His shirt was already broken, starting from the nape of his neck, spreading to the back of his shoulders and neck, countless cool but hard tentacles crowded and grew out, the number and volume were simply not what his body could bear.Every time he touches a tentacle, he is sentient, and he even instinctively knows how to stretch and wave those suddenly extra limbs. The eyes at the end of those limbs allow him to see a vast field of vision that humans cannot see at all, and the other ends open. The combined terrifying mouth can devour and digest the human body that his body could not swallow.
Those tentacles are part of his body.
Ethan kept screaming, like it was impossible for him to do anything else.
Finally, he stopped and looked around in a daze.He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, telling himself: calm down, calm down, calm down.
He used the same method to corrode the chains on his hands and feet with acid, but once he lost his support, he found that his body couldn't support so many heavy tentacles behind him.He was almost pressed down on the altar, his sore limbs warmed up from the numbness, and it took a long time before he had the strength to stand up little by little.He felt like he was carrying a huge boulder on his back, and he had to use all his strength to drag so many limbs behind him down the steps little by little.His feet had already been dyed red, blue and blue, and the heavy stench made him unable to breathe. He struggled to carve out a path from the countless piles of corpses, half-walking and half-crawling to leave that piece of hell.
"Samuel! Samuel!" he yelled, searching terrifiedly among the corpses for familiar faces.But he didn't find it, nor did he find Derek, Jiawen and others.
There were not a single one of the horned people alive before.
Did he kill everyone?
Ethan was dizzy and confused, unable to distinguish reality from dreams.He remembered nothing, and there was a terrible blankness in his mind, like the empty eye sockets of a dead man.
If you can't beat your fear, embrace it...
Tanithel's words suddenly appeared in his mind, and a severe headache accompanied by dizziness made him almost fall to the ground.Some sporadic sensory memory fragments are like chaotic movie clips, tearing internal organs, sucking bone marrow, screams are as beautiful as heaven, endless power, the body seems to extend to the sky, and people tremble and kneel before him...
His knees were weak, and he knelt on the ground... What did he become?
The cold night wind of the alien planet was blowing on his thin body, making him shiver.The boundless loneliness binds this bewildered soul like a heavy shackle.His eyes were dry, his body was numb, and he was overwhelmed by the innumerable new limbs behind him.For a moment, he thought maybe it would be better to die.
But when I saw those lumps of flesh on the ground whose true colors could not be distinguished, I felt that death was too disgusting.
The headache gradually subsided, and the feeling of wanting to vomit finally subsided. He gradually calmed down and decided to go to the cave where they were imprisoned to see if he could find Samuel and the others.He tried to control the tentacles behind him, but he didn't know what to do. In the end, he had to drag the black and twisting things behind him slowly towards the cave.
Just as he finally approached the entrance of the cave with the torches lit, a figure rushed out.
It's Samuel.
Ethan breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to raise a smile, but the smile froze halfway.Because Samuel's first reaction was not joy, but immediately aimed at him with the Ophiuchus laser gun used by the Horns that he found somewhere.What was revealed in those dark eyes was no longer familiar trust, but boundless fear.
Ethan suddenly realized what he looked like in his eyes.He took a step back timidly, and called out, "Samuel? It's me..."
Samuel was still staring at him nervously and terrified, his hand holding the gun was trying to stabilize, but it was still slightly shaking up and down, "You...what the hell are you..."
At this time another person rushed over, it was Taifeng.Taifeng, a former colleague and friend who used to hold him as a life-saving straw, screamed when he saw him, and immediately hid behind Samuel, followed by Jiawen and Derek.And Derek shot at him without hesitation the moment he saw him.
The laser beam penetrated Ethan's body instantly, and he didn't even feel any pain.He lowered his head in a daze, and saw that a small hole had been opened in his chest, and a thin thread was drawn down thickly with black blood.
Immediately afterwards, the flesh and blood scorched by the laser began to grow and heal rapidly, and finally there was not even a scar on his chest except for a black bloodstain.
"Monster..." Jiawen whispered, and took out a purple dagger that looked like a priest used from his waist, "I'll fight you!"
The unfamiliar and horrifying gazes of Samuel and Taifeng made Ethan fall into an ice cave, especially Samuel, he was probably the only friend Ethan trusted in the Forbidden City.
In order to prove that he was not a monster, Ethan stepped back quickly, but almost tripped over his tentacles.He hurriedly raised his hands to make a harmless gesture, "Samuel! It's me! I'm Ethan! Ethan who lives with you!"
Ethan's pleading call softened Samuel's wary gaze a little.In front of him... the creature with scary tentacles on the back of its neck did indeed have Ethan's body and face.Although there are winding black lines on both sides of his cheeks, although the shape of his pupils is a bit different from before, although he has no glasses, his jacket is torn, and his whole body is covered with that black line, he looks like someone A primitive beast with a certain dark beauty...
But his voice did belong to Ethan, and his cautious and timid eyes also belonged to Ethan.It was obviously the most harmless soul, but it forcibly blended with those nightmarish tentacles behind it.
Seeing the fear and helplessness in Ethan's eyes, Samuel suddenly realized that Ethan was back.
The unforgettable God of Slaughter an hour ago was not his Ethan, but a monster that temporarily occupied his body.
Samuel lowered his gun slightly and took a step forward tentatively, but was pulled back by Tai Feng.Samuel asked, "Ethan? Is that really you?"
Ethan nodded desperately, "I don't know what happened! What's going on?" He reached out and touched the limbs growing out of flesh and blood on the back of his neck, "What are these?"
"You don't remember anything?" Samuel stared at him suspiciously, and everyone else looked disbelieving.Jiawen said next to him, "Don't be fooled! Some people have mutated after returning from the second dimension. Adam is an example. He must have mutated too! He was infected by the law of the second universe..." His words have not yet After finishing speaking, a black tentacle suddenly swung across the air, wrapping around Jiawen's neck, and lifting the strong Inhuman.His face quickly turned purple due to the lack of blood flow, he kept making certain gurgling noises due to lack of oxygen, and his feet kept kicking.The knife in his hand scratched the tentacles, but the powerful wrist seemed to feel no pain, it just tightened more and more.
Everyone gasped, and turned to look at Ethan, only to see that Beta, who had been pitiful just now, was burning with some kind of cold anger, and his green eyes were shining brightly in the silent night.
"I didn't offend you, why do you always force me?" Ethan's voice was low, as if it was squeezed out from the bottom of his throat, "In the second universe, you want me to die, not as good as yourself Go die first!"
"Ethan! Stop!" Samuel yelled loudly and rushed towards him, but was slapped away by Ethan with a tentacle like a conditioned reflex, and his body hit the stone wall heavily.Samuel's cry of pain made Ethan wake up suddenly, and he immediately let go of the tentacles that were holding Jiawen, as if he couldn't believe what he had just done.
The sudden bone-chilling anger, the anger that could have been easily suppressed in the past, completely dominated his actions now.He nearly killed Jarvan.
Just like he killed the three thousand horned people and a dozen non-humans outside...
"I'm sorry...I'm sorry..." Ethan wanted to apologize, but saw that the four people looked at him as if they were looking at a dangerous and unstable beast.Taifeng helped Samuel, who was hit with a bloody head, and said to Ethan, "Ethan... If you are still Ethan, let us live?"
Derek carefully aimed his lasgun at his head and said in a somewhat wary tone, "We just want to get out of here, let us go, okay? We swear we'll never tell anyone about you."
Ethan shook his head, vigorously.He understood the meaning of their words, and stretched out his hand to Samuel, "Don't...don't leave me..."
He couldn't stay on this planet that was always in darkness with this appearance by himself.
But Samuel stared at him with sad eyes, and the hesitation in his eyes was gradually replaced by a trace of guilt.
At this time, the roar of the aircraft came from the sky, and silver-gray smooth lines hovered over the bloody killing field.It was an aircraft of the Earth Alliance, probably to search and rescue or to bomb the secret stronghold of the horned people.This is a good opportunity for Samuel and others to escape from this dense forest.Derek pulled Jiawen to try to avoid Ethan, and the two were careful, as if he was a bomb that would explode at any time.
Ethan didn't stop them, he just whispered to Samuel, "Don't leave me here alone..."
But Samuel finally lowered his eyes, pushed Tai Feng away, and slowly walked in front of him.
"Ethan, you can't go back." Samuel's lips were tightly pursed, a deep sadness spread in the depths of his eyes, "They will kill you."
Ethan knew that Samuel was telling the truth, and once the Earth Alliance army saw a monster like him, they would definitely open fire on him immediately.While laser guns seem to be unable to harm him so far, who knows what kind of weapons they will use?
Even if he doesn't die, he will be sent to those forgotten laboratories underground on Mars, where he will be cut up and decomposed bit by bit, right?
But what should he do?To live forever in this forest as a monster?
Seeing Ethan kneeling on the ground, with blank eyes open, looking at the terrifying tentacles slithering on the ground behind him.They don't look as numerous or long as they used to be on the altar, but they're still disgusting.This once introverted and gentle man, who protected and cared for him when he was most vulnerable, has now turned into something similar to the monster on the red earth. Samuel felt his heart ache, he thought he was fighting with After that person is completely over, there will never be such a distressed feeling again.
"I will find a way to find someone to save you." Samuel whispered in his ear, "but now, you must hide and don't let anyone see you."
At first, he couldn't see those human bodies at all, until he noticed the hairs stained with blue liquid and some hands sticking out of the pile of corpses.Overwhelming, the limbs belonging to the horned people were soaked in blue blood, attracting many strange birds with red feathers, pecking at those eyeballs that could not rest in peace.
Ethan grunted in his throat, letting out a whimper that he didn't even hear himself.He saw that there was also a lot of red blood mixed in the blue everywhere, those human limbs scattered on the ground, the heads that had been cut in half, and the truncated bodies that seemed to be trying to crawl far away upper body.Everything, as far as the eye can see, is death.
