Falling into the Abyss

Ethan and Samuel stared at the priest with staring eyes, and said at the same time, "Huh? Who?"

Tanithel repeated slowly in a very patient tone, "I said, my father is the younger brother of King Eve, Grand Duke Xichuan."

"Then you are the nephew of King Eve! Oh my god, you are still a prince!" Samuel looked up and down the priest with a look of disbelief, "No wonder you are so courageous, even fugitives dare to go to Iraq!" Fu Xingdai. Dare is that even if you are expelled, you can continue to go back to be the Duke!"

Tanithel tilted his head innocently, "But my parents are not alive now, and I have accepted the soul purification ceremony long ago, dedicating everything to the Lord God in this life, so I have no inheritance rights for a long time."

"That's also of royal blood!" Samuel folded his arms and smiled with an expression of "I don't care anyway, you're a local tyrant", "I thought we might be sent back if we were found out, but now it seems that it doesn't matter too much I'm worried."

"Don't be too optimistic." Tanithel became serious and said sternly, "I said not to overestimate the privileges that my identity brings to me. Before that, I used and damaged the eggs of the God of Order without authorization and disobeyed many times. I have already been punished for the orders of the superiors, and I took a lot of risks to take you there this time. You must obey my arrangements in everything, and you must not do what I do not ask you to do."

Ethan pressed Samuel's mouth, who was still trying to argue, with his backhand, and said to Tanithel, "We all follow your arrangement."

When their spaceship entered the territory of Eve's star field, they received a communication request from the Border Administration. At that time, Ethan and Samuel hid in the dead corner of the spaceship monitoring in the bathroom according to Tanithel's instructions, so that Tanithel could Said he came back alone.

Their plan is to park at a relatively remote Eve space station first, and Tanithel will need to buy some items needed for camouflage on the black market.During the whole process, Ethan and Samuel didn't even leave the spaceship, they locked themselves in the dark spaceship and waited for Tanithel to come back.Samuel became unusually reticent, shutting himself in the room every day without knowing what he was doing.

Ethan turned on the anonymous protection lock and browsed the news on the computer on the spaceship.In the past in the Earth Alliance, all news was censored and filtered, and only now did it come out before it began to enter the domain that I had only heard of before but never had the opportunity to actually enter.He then knew that the Earth Alliance was really not very peaceful.First of all, the experiment on Neptune caused a large-scale second universe infection, and that infection spread to the space station near Neptune at that time. It is said that many people died because it was discovered too late.Ethan couldn't imagine how those people died. At that time in the space station, he watched the steel buildings twist and melt rapidly, the space was cut to pieces, and the man's head was twisted and deformed, and the brain was pulled from the nostrils like noodles. Came out horribly.

There was no report of such a big disaster in the territory of the Earth Alliance, obviously the news was blocked by the military.Now the infected area has been controlled and sealed off. No one knows what happened inside or if there are any survivors.

Another piece of news that caught his attention was that the spread of the Benefactor Church belief had even attracted the attention of some international media.In a mocking and joking tone, they said that many citizens of the Earth Alliance had been brainwashed by a prisoner, and the government was in such a state of distress that they might secretly execute the cult leader Chen who was imprisoned in the Forbidden City.They described Chen Zeng as very mysterious, saying that he had a unique charisma. When they first met, they just felt very kind and friendly. As time passed, they felt that he had a convincing calmness, and some things he predicted were also true. One after the other came true.

And his most widely circulated prophecy is the coming of the "Great Evil God".Because there was indeed a terrible massacre of prisoners by mutants in the Forbidden City.

It was in that report that Ethan saw his own face.It was a photo of him still as Secretary of the Energy Agency, wearing a tailored suit shirt, parted hair neatly fixed with hairspray, and a pair of expensive thin-rimmed glasses.No one would have thought that such a gentle-looking Beta turned out to be a mutated monster.

Ethan didn't expect that he would become the missionary material of the Benefactor Association, he just felt dumbfounded.

Obviously they forced him to become like that...

*********

When Tanithel came back, he was wearing a dark gray cloak and a hood, and was carrying a big box in his hand.After opening it, there were some Eve costumes and a lot of strange solution reagents inside, which looked like a Frankenstein's box.Tanisel took out some simulated pointed ears, and some messy bottles and jars, saying that those are the materials that professional makeup artists for live-action dramas would use. They stick to the ears as if they were real, as long as they are not close If you look closely, you can't see it at all.

The priest forced Ethan to change into an Eve-style dark green velvet long jacket with a delicate light gold string around his waist and white dark pattern trousers on his legs.Then he was pressed on the chair by the priest, who worked on his ears and face for a while, and then the priest nodded in satisfaction, and let Ethan stand in front of the mirror with some pride to take a look.Ethan was a little dumbfounded. Now his skin was a little sickly pale, and with those two pointed ears and the third eye, he really looked like an Eve.On this basis, Tanisel clamped what looked like studs on each of his ears. In fact, they were two small realistic projection holes, which would project images that were almost imperceptible to the naked eye. The light beam covers the face with a thin layer, subtly changing the shape of the facial features.So at this time Ethan couldn't recognize himself in the mirror at all. He opened his eyes wide, his expression of shock was beyond words, and the boy Eve in the mirror with slender eyes who looked less than 20 years old also widened his eyes.

I can't tell that Ethan is actually 30 years old...

The explanation given by the priest is that the average height of human beings is shorter than that of Eve, so pretending to be a young man will not arouse suspicion.

Samuel also had an expression as if he saw magic, and looked hesitantly at the two similar "ear clips" lying on the palm of his hand.Fortunately, this kind of disguise artifact can only be bought in the black market, otherwise, walking on the street may not know whether someone's face is real or fake.

"Remember to wear the things on your ears when you go out." Taniser reminded, "I will say then, you two are my apprentices outside, and you must learn to treat me when you are outside. Some gestures of courtesy and calling me 'Mentor'."

Day and night, Tanithel taught Ethan and Samuel some basic etiquette between priests, as well as simple Eve language.Ethan is a fast learner. Although he is not very proficient in the language, he can basically get away with it with the help of the voice translator.But Samuel's learning speed is much slower, which is not his strong point.In the end Tanithel gave up and decided to let him pretend to be dumb and keep silent.

A week later, they finally saw Eve Star from afar.

It really is a very beautiful planet, surrounded by a layer of purple-like dreamy atmosphere, and large pieces of colorful land are floating in the middle of the blue-purple sea water.Around it is a dark purple ring of planets that rotates slowly, like the skirt of a ballerina, and two satellites that are probably smaller than the moon are also tirelessly dancing round dances in different orbits.

It is slightly larger than the earth, and it takes about 28 hours to move around, and 450 days to revolve around the beautiful red giant star.There are more and more spaceships in orbit around it, and the shape of those spaceships is obviously different from the round style of the earth, with smooth and slender lines, like silver whales swimming in the vast ocean of the universe.

The spacecraft merged into the orbit around the earth, circled half a circle to the preset position, and started the landing propulsion procedure.The spaceship roared through the thick lavender atmosphere, burning a cold blue slash.They fell into the vast peacock-blue ocean, which was the closest landing point to Eve's capital Xiluoan City.After the spaceship sank and floated in the sea for a while, many small plate-like objects floated up from the water, and duckweeds were arranged at the exit of the spaceship, extending to the land not far away.

The hatch opened slowly, and Ethan held his breath when he saw the beautiful sky that seemed to be dancing with sunset glow forever.The white city in the distance undulates on the slopes of the mountains. At the end of the sky, the semicircular planetary wheel spanning half of the sky reflects thousands of beautiful lights and colors, dyeing the clouds in an impressionistic style.

It's such a gorgeous planet that it's unreal, somehow it feels very suitable for Tanithel...

They stepped on the "duckweed" on the sea and walked towards the shore. There were several spaceships floating silently on the sea on both sides, like sleeping sea monsters.In the harbor, a broad staircase rose from the sea to a white stone bridge above that stretched into the sea.On the right side of the stone bridge is a white stone statue taller than the bridge. It is an old man with long beard wearing a long robe.On the other side of the bridge is a black stone statue. The man's attire suddenly looks a bit like an Egyptian pharaoh, but it's not the same when you look closely.

For some reason, the black portrait made Ethan a little uneasy, and always felt that he looked somewhat unpleasantly familiar.

When stepping on the stone steps, Tanisel put on a gray hood, as if unwilling to attract attention.In order to prevent anyone from picking him up or watching him, he deliberately accelerated his pace and arrived a day earlier than expected.Seeing this, Ethan also pulled up the hat on the cloak, only Samuel followed nonchalantly, anyway, with the realistic projection camouflage on his ears, he didn't think there was anything to be afraid of.

This is the first time Ethan has seen so many Eves.Because I am used to seeing the priest’s unearthly appearance, I suddenly saw the down-to-earth version of Eve who would crowd around the market like a human being, bargain with small vendors, and walk through the market in groups. People have a subtle sense of disillusionment.But it is undeniable that Eve has a peaceful and peaceful demeanor, even when she is arguing, she is a little more rational and harmonious.

The cities of the Eves are completely different from those of humans.They did not build the buildings on the ground very high, and they liked to use curves and complex structures very much, making the whole city as moving as a poem of ups and downs.There are also far fewer aircrafts that shuttle in the air orbit than the earth space station, and the continuous flow of dual-purpose vehicles will not cause traffic jams.

Ethan looked all the way, his heart filled with amazement.In his concept, the city is always gray, and the atmosphere of the space station is always gloomy. After entering the Forbidden City, this impression is even stronger.It made him feel a wave of hopeless disgust.He has never seen such a city, such a city full of vitality and color...

Tanithel called an autopilot aircraft, stuffed Ethan and Samuel in, and sat in the front seat, saying something in Eve's language, "Go to May Lake Manor."

Ethan barely understood this sentence, so he asked him, "What manor? Aren't we going to the temple?"

"I need to go back to the temple to arrange some things before I consider taking you there. The May Lake Manor is my father's fief and the place where I lived when I was a child. You will be safe there." The priest sitting in the front seat turned his head , smiled at him, "Are you excited to come home with me?"

The author has something to say:

The next chapter will enter the "ghost castle", I wonder if the father-in-law will crawl out of the grave to see the "daughter-in-law"~~
