Falling into the Abyss

Ethan couldn't understand what the horned man said about the wise man and the abyss man, but the moment he saw the ancient book, a shudder passed through his body like an electric current.His eyes widened slightly, fixed on the cover of the book, those corners seemed to be twisting and deforming, as if speaking to him through silent language.

While his instinct made him yearn for the book, his rationality also told him that this was not a good thing.

He stared at the character and asked him, "What book is this?"

The horned man did not refuse to answer the question, holding the stale manuscript in a certain awe, "It has no name, it is a bible about the truth of the universe handed down from the earth in ancient times, using a long-lost Written in the language of the book. Even now, we still can't understand 80.00% of the meaning, but any attempt to understand the content of the book, or even the act of watching itself, often plunges the untrained and protected mind into eternal confusion and confusion. crazy."

"Eternity is about to end, and the sleeping king is about to wake up..." Ethan murmured, suddenly remembering where he had seen this book.

It was in the nightmare that he couldn't get rid of. The black man once held the book and said curse-like prophecies to him over and over again.

When the character heard his murmur, he also showed a surprised expression, "Have you heard of this book?"

Ethan suddenly laughed, the laughter collided with echo ripples in the empty room, which seemed a bit hollow and eerie.He raised his green eyes and looked deeply into the eyes of the horned man. Even though his hands were bound, a chilling aura emanated from the thin human being in front of him, and the servant boys behind the healer He took a few steps back timidly.

Ethan didn't know why he was laughing. At this moment, he was the one who was obviously trapped, but he felt that the horned person in front of him was a little pitiful.

That is the ignorant pity in the face of being pushed into the abyss by a mysterious and powerful fate.

"If I were you, you probably wouldn't show me this book." Ethan stopped smiling and said.

At the same time, Tanithel strode through the crowd, the third eye on his forehead slightly opened, and the horned people who were supposed to stand in front of him involuntarily stepped aside, and it was not until he passed a dozen steps that he realized that he should rush forward. Go up and stop him.However, once he stepped into the range of ten steps, he seemed to hesitate suddenly.Tanithel didn't even look at the people around him. There seemed to be an invisible bubble around him, and no one could enter within ten steps of him.Thus he went on a rampage into the Chieftain's lair.

At that time, the chief was discussing something with his son and several other elders belonging to his tribe. Tanisel drove straight in, and everyone stood up in shock, taking up weapons one after another.

But Tanithel just stared at them indifferently, "If you still hope that the wise man will come one day, let Ethan Eldridge go now."

His words made everyone present stunned.

Although the beliefs of the Eve star have something in common with the horned people's beliefs, after all, most Eve people believe in the God of Preface, and they did not expect such words to be uttered from the mouth of an Eve priest.The chief's son still pointed his gun at him, "What do you mean!"

"I mean you idiots! If you believe that the Great Wise One is omnipotent, why is he so slow to come to our sad, boring little universe? You really think all he needs is a thousand earthlings Is it blood?!" Tanithel slightly bent his mouth, lost the politeness he had shown before, and there was a bit of evil and sarcasm in his smile, "Let alone a thousand, even the life of the entire planet is Being sacrificed doesn't mean anything to a wise man!"

"What do you know! That's recorded in the holy book!" An elder retorted angrily, and the rest of the elders also echoed, furious because of the priest's insolent remarks.

"Holy book, holy book, the question is how much do you understand? Just understanding a little superficially is like trying to speculate on God's will. Aren't you afraid of causing real disasters?!" Tanithel asked loudly.

The elders were speechless for a while, because their inability to understand that mysterious ancient book was indeed a pain in their feet all the time.

"Listen, the current universe is still dominated by the gods of the abyss, what you call the abyssal beings. Even though their grasp of this place has begun to decline, they are still strong enough to destroy any wise man who tries to enter this universe And the human who came with me is probably the only hope." Ethan said, raising the scepter in his hand, and a ray of light shot out from the blue crystal in the scepter, submerging all the people present in a light shadow In the illusion of casting.

Originally, he didn't want any outsiders to see the things he was about to show others, but now in order to let other people cooperate to release him and Ethan, he had no choice but to do so first.

**********

The healer was about to open the book in his hand when suddenly his body froze and he fell limp.

Not only him, but the servants behind him also fell straight down. Only then did Ethan realize that the horned soldiers guarding outside the gate had also been brought down.

The female Beta was wearing a close-fitting black battle suit, outlining her exquisite body curves, and she winked at him.At the same time, another Ophiuchus male Alpha companion also walked quickly from another direction, holding a tranquilizer gun in his hand, "I've got it done here too. Where's Sean?"

Just as he was talking, a figure tumbled down from a high rock wall, and the moment he landed, he raised his laser gun and accurately burned the chains that bound Ethan's wrist.The man was also dressed in black, stood up slowly, and looked at Ethan with a pair of violet eyes under his slightly long hair.

Ethan pursed his lips tightly and frowned.

"why you."

Before Roland could reply, the female Beta had already come to him, and neatly boiled the iron ring on Ethan's feet, "There is not much time, we have to go now."

Of course Ethan doesn't want to follow the Ophiuchus, and now he doesn't trust anyone except Tanithel.But before he opened his mouth to refuse, Roland came up and stabbed his carotid artery.The blood supply to the brain was cut off suddenly, and Ethan fell into a coma instantly.Roland picked him up and disappeared into the darkness together with his other two companions.

**********

The spiritual connection with Ethan was suddenly shaken, and Tanithel immediately felt it.His expression changed, "Oops! Someone robbed the prison!"

The glorious phantoms that were still scattered all over the room suddenly dissipated, and the priests had already rushed out of the door before the horned people came back to their senses.

The three agents from the Ophiuchus Alliance had disappeared, and at the same time all the guards guarding the end cave were either knocked down by tranquilizer needles or knocked unconscious.According to the awakened guards, those who brought them down appeared suddenly, as if invisible.He lost consciousness without even seeing how the opponent made a move.

It seems to be some kind of stealth technology secretly developed by the Ophiuchus alliance.

However, what angered the entire tribe the most was that not only Ethan was robbed, but also the holy book they worshiped as a god.

**********

Ethan was only in a coma for a short period of time. When he woke up, he found that he was in a small aircraft, flying low and quickly passing the endless blue forest, deftly avoiding the staggered and rolling mountains.He quickly sat up, and the sound made Roland in the front row turn around.

Ethan felt a throbbing pain in his temple, and glared at Roland with the angriest expression he could make, "Where are you taking me!"

"Save you and leave." The female Beta next to Roland answered, "Don't you like being a prisoner for those barbarians? Maybe they will sacrifice you."

Ethan ignored her and just stared at Roland, "What information do you want to get from me? Is it worth your while to turn against the horny person?"

Roland also looked at him quietly, his blue eyes dim in the twilight, "...can't I just want to repay the harm I caused you before?"

"Ha!" Ethan laughed sarcastically, "Of course you won't tell me the truth so easily. But I want to tell you in advance that if you want to know about Project Zero, I'm just going to be a test subject Yes, but the blood test failed, so I don't know anything."

Roland and the female Beta looked at each other, and said to him with a hesitant expression, "You have a good rest. We will not hurt you."

Ethan didn't speak, but his whole body was tense.He already knew Roland now, and he knew that things must not be so simple.

He deeply imprinted everything he saw in his mind, hoping that Tanithel could perceive his position.It didn't take long for him to perceive a thought in his mind: I will come to you.

Only then did he feel a little relieved, but in the next moment, a thought came to his mind, which made his heart that had just let go hang again.

I heard from Tanisel before that the Ophiuchus Alliance may know the important role that the Egg of the Preface God can play in the production of antimatter.So, could he be a decoy?

A bait for exchanging the eggs of the Prologue God with Tanithel?

He tried his best to convey this idea to Tanithel, but he did not hear back for a long time.He felt anxious, looked at the back of Roland's head in front of him, and thought about how likely he was to knock down the two best agents of the Ophiuchus and control the male Alpha who was driving the aircraft in the front if he attacked from behind.

... Well, it seems that this method is not feasible.

Then the only way to escape is to take the opportunity.

Their aircraft landed at the foot of a snowy mountain about [-] kilometers away from the secret stronghold of the horned people. All the plants here are like ice sculptures made of blood, reflecting crystal and dreamlike streamers in the dark night.There are clouds hanging down from the sky like tulle, shaking and changing slowly like the aurora.They parked the aircraft on a frozen lake, where it is said that they were waiting for the spacecraft to come to pick them up.

Ethan wrapped the horned man's robe tightly around his body, watched Roland open the hatch for him, and then stepped on the thick ice and snow on the lake without saying a word.Their aircraft shells automatically changed color, turning into the same color as the surrounding snow scene, and it suddenly seemed as if they didn't exist.

"Sean, what the hell kind of place did you choose, it's freezing to death!" the male Alpha complained loudly, the Ophiuchus' unique Earth accent sounded casual and funny.

Ethan walked silently between Roland and the female Beta, looking at the back of the still tall and straight man in front of him, feeling a little bitter in his heart.

He didn't know until now that his real name was Sean.

But Ethan still thinks that the name Roland is more suitable for him...

The three agents each carried a large box that was removed from the aircraft, and quickly found a suitable camp in the forest that was good for concealment.They opened the box, and the three mini tents quickly and automatically unfolded. The surface, like horned human hair, could reflect the color of the surrounding environment, and suddenly it seemed almost indistinguishable.While the three of them were busy building a small fire with warm rocks, Ethan was busy imprinting the surrounding scenery, especially the towering snow mountain in front of him into his mind, so that Tanithel could know what he was doing. s position.He tried again to warn Tanithel to be careful, and finally received a very soothing and soothing thought.

Fortunately, Roland and the others still don't know the soul-bound relationship between Tanithel and him. No matter where he goes, Tanithel will definitely find him.

At this moment, someone suddenly put a thick coat on his shoulders.Ethan could smell the other person without turning his head.He was so familiar with this smell, that after a year, it was still as vivid as yesterday.

"Don't catch a cold." Roland's gentle voice was still as intoxicating as wine.

But Ethan already knew that this wine was poisonous.

He glanced at Roland coldly, but didn't refuse, just walked past him and got into a tent.

He didn't eat with the three Ophiuchus, but the tent opened a small gap, and he could vaguely see the three joking outside.

Ethan saw the girl Beta called "Angela" leaning over and playfully kissed Roland on the cheek.He thought he would be sad, but his heart was just numb.

He used to hate this person so much, he imagined all the terrible things he would do when he saw him again, and all the cruel things he would say that could hurt him even a tiny bit.But now, he couldn't even say a word.

He realizes that he's never known Roland, that he doesn't even know his real full name, or even if he has a boyfriend or girlfriend or is married.I don't know what his parents do or if he has pets at home.

Since this man, he dare not say the word love again.For example, until now, they have been bound to Tanithel's soul, and they have never mentioned half a word related to love.

He didn't even dare to say what kind of relationship he had with Tanithel, because he never dared to forget what Tanithel wanted him to remember: the relationship between them was pure use.Even though he now wholeheartedly trusts the priest and even falls in love with the priest, he still has a mental preparation that he may be betrayed or betrayed.If one day his importance to Tanisel disappears, he may be completely lost.

He felt that was acceptable, as long as he could make himself valuable to the priest.The so-called unconditional and unconditional true love, even his father couldn't give it, so how could he ask for it from others?

Especially...he has become a monster now, and he doesn't know how long he can live in this world...he just wants to last a little longer.

He wrapped his clothes tightly, suddenly feeling so lonely in this cold and dark world.

The curtain of the tent was lifted, and Roland got in, holding a small bowl of hot chili sauce in his hand.Ethan, who hadn't eaten any serious food for a year, immediately felt a lot of saliva secreting from his mouth, but he didn't want to lose face in front of Roland, so he kept his indifference and just swallowed secretly.

"Eat some. You look a little too thin." Roland put the small bowl in front of him.

Ethan was also polite, picked up the bowl and smelled it, and after confirming that he didn't smell anything strange, he picked up the spoon and put the meat sauce into his mouth.He was eating in silence, and Roland was watching him silently, with a familiar charming smile on his lips.

"I should have taken you away." Roland said suddenly.

Ethan paused for a moment with his hand holding the spoon, then pretended he didn't hear anything, and continued to concentrate on eating.

"sorry."

Ethan let out a long sigh and put down the bowl, "You can't let me have a good meal, can you?"

"This year, I sometimes think of you." Roland looked down at his hands, "Although it is my job to get close to you, even though I have used the same method to deceive other people, I also know that regretting is meaningless But at this time, I found that I am still a human being after all, and I still feel guilty."

"If you feel guilty, let me go."

"I can't, but I can take you to Ophiuchus and you will be free. I will take good care of you."

Ethan rolled his big eyes, sneered, and continued to pick up the bowl to eat.

"You don't want to go?"

"..."

"Is it because of that priest?"

"..."

"That priest's name is Tanithel, right? Do you believe him?"

"..."

"Did you know that the Red Moon Temple where he is located has always been closely related to interstellar pirates in private? And there are rumors that they are conducting secret and dangerous human experiments in private. Some believers who volunteered to participate in the experiments later went crazy or disappeared inexplicably. .But because the Red Moon Temple is very powerful, they were all suppressed. Are you sure it is safe to be with him?"

"Ha!" Ethan spoke suddenly, and sneered at Roland with a weird sneer, "Sure enough, Tanithel is your goal, right?"

Roland didn't hide it, and asked Ethan directly: "It wasn't originally, but now it is. Why does he value you so much? As far as I know, you didn't know each other before you entered the Forbidden City. He and you were on a sin mission We just met, but in less than a year, he chased you back and forth across the entire Earth Alliance star field. Don’t you think this is too weird?”

He didn't say it, but Ethan also understood the hidden meaning in his heart: it must not be because he likes you.

There was a trace of helplessness in Ethan's sneer, and he asked, "Yeah, why? I want to know too."
