Falling into the Abyss

Ethan was sitting at the end of the large aircraft filled with soldiers from the Earth Army, looking out the window at the sky that turned dark purple due to a dark red sun in the morning, as well as the forests and cities flying past on the ground .This planet has not been destroyed by heavy industry. Although it lacks sunlight and is very cold, it still has a mysterious beauty that is refined.Ethan looked at the light that day, imagining whether the purple in the sky of Eve Star was the same as this deep purple.But thinking of Tanithel's hair that seemed to have been kissed by the sun, I felt that it must not be as dark as this planet.

The soldiers at the front were swearing and teasing each other, and each talked about how difficult and troublesome the Omega at home or in love was.While talking, the topic somehow came to Feiren, probably because the city of Tonga they were going to was the city where Feiren was currently located.

"Hey! Inhuman!" A bald Alpha soldier suddenly shouted at him, "I heard that there are no Omega in your Forbidden City, and there are very few women, so some alphas of the same sex who are too horny will also get together with each other, is it true? Huh?" As he spoke, he deliberately made a malicious mocking expression, as if he was talking about something disgusting and curious.Ethan looked at him coldly, and suddenly grinned, "That's right, don't make trouble with someone like you who looks better, or you will be used as an Omega if you go in."

"What the hell are you talking about!" The soldier was about to stand up in anger. Originally, the hormonal smell emitted by Alpha's body when he was about to enter the battle state would always make Betas like Ethan instinctively terrified, but Ethan was surprised to find that, I don't even feel anything now.He even had some contempt for that Alpha.

Is it because we have seen real horror, and found ourselves a part of it?

Ethan looked back at the Alpha who was rushing towards him without any fear, and looked indifferently at another Alpha who stopped the impulsive soldier.Another soldier, who appeared to be a sergeant, gave him a warning look and called the soldier back.

Ethan sneered and stopped talking to them.

It was almost evening when he got off the aircraft, and gray hair was waiting outside the cabin.The gloomy guard originally planned to taunt Beta, who had successfully escaped the forbidden city but stupidly sent him to the door, but was a little stunned when he saw Ethan.

Ethan's hands were firmly restrained by electronic handcuffs, and he was still wearing a horned man's robe.But something changed in that Beta who was always submissive, he couldn't tell what changed, it just made him afraid for a moment.

It's really strange, what is there to be afraid of, a nerd who is nothing but out of his original social status?

He quickly threw away that fleeting feeling, and grinned coldly, showing his white teeth, "It seems that you are really reluctant to leave."

Ethan stood in front of him with a blank expression, and obediently let him buckle the collar in his hand around his neck.He noticed that Ethan had many bruises on the back of his neck.He remembered that when Samuel and the others were saved, their expressions were a little strange, especially when they mentioned the "dead" Ethan.It seemed they were hiding something.

However, this is not what he is most interested in at present, he still has more important tasks to complete.But the return of this Beta can also be regarded as adding a little spice to his depressing life.Besides, maybe the former Secretary of the Energy Bureau is also useful sometimes.

Ethan was escorted by Gray Hair to a barracks not "exclusively" for people.Along the way, I received many surprised looks.However, the most shocking thing was Jiawen who dropped the long knife he was wiping on the ground with a bang not far away.The always arrogant Alpha opened his mouth into an O shape, and a trace of fear overflowed from his wide-open eyes.Derek, who was practicing pull-ups not far from him, turned and ran.

After a while, Samuel ran out of the house and stopped about ten steps away from him.His handsome and resolute face stared at him fixedly, as if he couldn't believe his eyes, panting heavily.Tai Feng also chased after him a few steps, and the moment his eyes met Ethan, he covered his mouth with his hand.

"Hehe, what a big welcome ceremony, it looks like you are popular?" Gray Mao snorted beside him and said, "This really makes me wonder, did they know that you are not dead, and deliberately help you escape Woolen cloth?"

"I'm indeed dead." Ethan said flatly, "but I'm alive again."

Gray Mao pulled him in front of him, and while uncuffing his handcuffs, whispered in his ear, "I know you guys are hiding something, I will watch you."

Ethan's expression was indifferent, like a puppet.

Gray Mao pushed him away, straightened his hat, turned and left.

Ethan turned around slowly, facing his partner.Samuel has always been his most trusted friend.He had no siblings since he was a child, and Samuel felt like a big brother to him.

However, he still remembered that when he was in the most hesitant and painful time, Samuel in front of him left him alone in the dark and left with the other three.

He didn't even care about Taifeng Jiawen Derick very much, what bothered him the most was Samuel's back.

The two faced each other from a distance, and neither of them spoke for a while.After a while, Ethan lowered his eyes and showed a tired smile, "I'm back."

Samuel rushed over suddenly, and when he realized it, he realized that he was hugged by another broad and strong chest.The arms around his body were so tight that it was hard for him to breathe.He felt Samuel let out a long sigh with his head buried in the side of his neck.

Then Samuel pulled him away slightly, staring at him with dark brown eyes, as if trying to see a hole in him, "Why did you come back? Didn't Tanithel take you away?"

Ethan tried his best to maintain an indifferent smile, "It's a long story."

Samuel reached out and touched the scar on the back of his neck carefully, as if he was afraid of being burned, "He... really cured you..."

Ethan nodded silently.

Neither Tai Feng nor the other two people who had seen his "true face" came forward, they kept a guarded distance from him.Ethan met Taifeng's eyes across Samuel's shoulder.What's the difference? He still remembers Tai Feng's completely trusting, almost attached eyes when he just rescued Tai Feng from Huimao's hands; although that kind of eyes were somewhat transferred to Samuel later, but When facing him, Taifeng's eyes are always less indifferent and more enthusiastic towards friends.

But now the familiar enthusiasm is gone, not just alienation, but instinctive fear when facing unknown creatures.He seemed to be trying to suppress his intuition, but Ethan could still feel the fear radiating from him.

It's really strange, when did his nose become so sensitive that he could smell people's emotions?

"Don't worry, none of us told anyone about you." Samuel squeezed his shoulders, whispered comfortingly, then naturally put his arm around Ethan's shoulders, and passed through the other inhumans to cast The curious sight that came.Ethan let the other party lead him into the barracks.Non-people are crowded in several nearby barracks, a long row of bunk beds, with quilts folded squarely on the beds.As soon as Ethan entered, he saw Chen Zeng sitting on a bunk nearer the inner side, surrounded by non-human beings who were listening to what he was talking about.Chen Zeng looked up and saw Ethan coming in, and nodded and smiled at him.

The moment Ethan saw him, he finally felt a little nervous.

Once Chen Zeng's devout believers know that the gene of the Great Evil God they have been talking about may exist in his body, I wonder if they will swallow him alive as Satan himself?

In the second universe, the feeling of being collectively isolated by others is vivid, and he knows that he must hide the... thing in his body at all costs.

**********

Ethan learned that non-people have been used as bait to search for the horned guerrillas, and they were put into forests, mountain foothills or ravines that the Earth Army is not very familiar with, and after the horned guerrillas were lured out, the regular Earth The army positioned the place where the people were not, and encircled and suppressed the rebels.This method has successfully captured two rebel tribal leaders who repeatedly launched terrorist attacks against people on Earth. However, non-humans also suffered heavy casualties. There were originally more than 300 people, but now there are only about 170 left.

The only time that the earth army couldn't figure it out was the three thousand horned people killed by Ethan.Samuel and the others insisted that the giant underground worms had eaten them, but the Earth Army had never found the "underground worm" that Samuel called, and the deaths of those [-] people became an unsolved case.Samuel said that someone would have to question Ethan about that day and tell him to be careful not to say anything.

On the first night back in prison, Ethan didn't get any sleep.Most of the non-people were fast asleep, snoring one after another, occasionally mixed with babbling in their dreams.Ethan sat in front of the bed by himself, staring at the two moons, one big and one small, hanging in the sky in a daze.He took out a handkerchief from his pocket, which looked ordinary and even crumpled by him.He rubbed his thumbs over the fabric, and his eyes became soft and sad.

He put the handkerchief to his nose, and could vaguely smell the breath of Tanithel.He seemed to have grasped a life-saving elixir, or a thirst-quenching holy spring. He sniffed the smell vigorously, and buried his face in the handkerchief.This was the only thing that belonged to Tanithel left on him, and his longing had never been so thick as blood.

Suddenly there was a hand on his shoulder, and Ethan turned around for a while.

Samuel looked down at him with a worried expression on his face.

"You can't sleep either?" Omega asked.

Ethan silently put the handkerchief back into his pocket, silently watching the silver streamer falling on the window sill.

"You...why didn't you go with him?" Samuel leaned on the window sill, looking at him complicatedly.It seems that I don't know whether I should ask this question.Ethan wanted to laugh a little, Samuel became cautious about him.If it was before, Samuel would have slapped him directly and asked him if you were stupid for what the hell did you come back.

"I was discovered by the Earth Army." Ethan said simply.

Samuel frowned slightly, feeling that Ethan was hiding something.But... originally thought that he and Ethan would never meet again in this life, and he was still happy to have the opportunity to meet again.

But what happened to Ethan?Why did it become like that before.

At this moment, Beta was immersed in the moonlight, her hair and side face were covered with a layer of hesitant blue, looking so harmless.In addition, the memory of being on the altar before was as unreal as if it were a dream.

"Ethan, on the altar...what happened to you? Was it something they did to you on Mars?"

"Infected by the God of Entropy, and later affected in the second universe." Ethan said in an almost indifferent tone that had nothing to do with him, "Taniser has been using the egg of the God of Preface to help me suppress, Let me be like a normal person."

"Infection..." Samuel's expression seemed to be caught in a black vortex of memories, and the micro-expression of horror and disgust disappeared in a flash, "But you are different from those people on the red earth...you didn't become that kind of... bug .”

"I don't know either." Ethan said faintly, and suddenly chuckled, "Are you worried now, if you live in the same room with me in the future, I don't know when I will become that disgusting look again .”

His stinging tone made Samuel a little upset, and he was a little annoyed when he said the central thing, "Hey, I didn't say anything, what nonsense are you talking about there?"

"Don't worry." Ethan stood up straight and gave him a distant look, "I won't hurt you."

Samuel stared blankly at Ethan walking back to his bunk, pulled the quilt back and got in, and never looked at him again from the beginning to the end.

He vaguely realized that Ethan's trust in him might start to waver.

The author has something to say:

At the end of the last chapter, I mistyped Ethan’s last name with shaking hands... Our Ethan has a long way to go before we get married, so we didn’t change our surname_(:з」∠)_
