Falling into the Abyss

Ethan had a dream, that he was going home. The artificial sunlight of the fifth space station floats with flimsy light and shadow, swaying on the walls of the villa composed of many white cubes, the daylilies in the garden are blooming, and the yellow plumes are clustered on both sides of the short path. By the window on the second floor, you can see the mother who is playing the cello, her face is ruddy and she does not look like she has cancer. Seeing him come back, she smiled at him slightly, showing her gorgeous appearance when she was young.

Ethan felt a warmth with a touch of sadness in his heart, his eyes were smiling, but he wanted to cry inexplicably. He opened the door and saw his father Adrian Eldridge walking out of the bright kitchen with a coffee cup. He was still in his fifties and his face was still handsome. He still looked unsmiling, exuding a strong Alpha aura, and Ethan would still feel scared when his sharp gaze swept over.

"Dad...I'm back."

Adrian did not show the expression of disgust or anger as he imagined. He simply nodded to him like he did when he was a child and said to him, "Your mother just baked blueberry pie in the kitchen. Remember to wash your hands. "The tone was plain and plain, as if it was just one day when he was a child, and he had just come back from a crazy play with neighbor's children outside.

However, because of this plain tone, Ethan finally couldn't help it and shed tears.

Then he woke up. Because he felt someone rubbing the corner of his eye, he opened his eyes exhaustedly, frowning tightly, as if overwhelmed. A sharp and severe headache swept through his waking consciousness, and he grunted uncomfortably.

The memory returned to his mind, and he suddenly opened his eyes wide, unable to believe that he was alive.

A familiar smell of Alpha entangled in his nose. Ethan realized that there were people around him. Before turning his head, a puppet-like delicate face appeared in a somewhat blurred vision. The golden curly hair was reflected by the white light from the ceiling. Into a silver halo.

"How do you feel?" Tanithel asked softly.

Ethan reached out and touched his forehead, and felt a thick bandage. "Headache..."

His voice was so dry and hoarse that he could hardly recognize him. Tanithel walked away, but did not go very far, after the footsteps stopped, there was the sound of pouring water. Ethan sat up with a slightly heavy body, and found that he was lying on a clean hospital bed surrounded by many medical machines. The arms of the medical robot hung from the ceiling and stood quietly on the side, reflecting on the iron gray wall. The light cast from the ceiling is obviously no longer the No. 18 pioneering base on Red Earth.

"Where is this?" Ethan asked, taking the cup from Tanithel, and drinking it.

Tanisel said, "We are on the mother ship."

"Mother ship?!" Ethan loosened his hand, and the water cup fell to the ground with a crisp sound, "We succeeded?"

"Forget it..." Tanisel didn't have much happy expression on his face, but hesitated with a trace of thought. But he quickly smiled at him again, "Thanks to you this time, otherwise we may not be able to drive Sabnier away, nor can I get some samples of her secretions."

Ethan's mind was empty, he should have been happy, after all, he survived a catastrophe. But he couldn't laugh at all, and he was even inexplicably disappointed.

He looked around, and he didn't see the soldier or the chief of guard with a gun, "Why am I here?" The implication, why didn't he and other non-human beings be locked in the warehouse floor below, just like coming Same time. And... I even bothered the other party, the priest himself, who poured water on him. It seemed that Tanithel had been by his side for a while.

Tanithel suddenly turned around, sat on his hospital bed, and turned to look at him, "Something happened while you were in a coma. We took the spacecraft we used before and left the Red Earth and returned to the mother ship, but The people on the mother ship are gone, and it is likely that they have been swallowed by Sabnir. Your companions have arrested your guard chief, and they intend to flee."

escape? Escape from the Earth Alliance?

Ethan was shocked by the news, but a few words meant too much. No need to go back to the forbidden city? become free? At the same time, can't go home again?

Tanithel did not notice his thousands of emotions, "We Eve people are left with three people, including me. We do not intend to fight inhumans, nor do we intend to use the electric shock function in your collar to control You. But there are several problems that have not been resolved. The red earth is a barren dead zone within fifty light years of the red earth. Our fuel is only enough for us to reach the earth. If we rush to other planets, we will face fuel exhaustion and will always be lost Danger in the universe."

"Moreover, our collar and the ship itself have tracking systems..." Ethan whispered, "Can they remove the collar?"

Tanithel shook his head and replied casually, "You are not human and there are only less than ten people left. Otto, who is best at this technology, is dead. Derek has just gotten into the head of the mother ship owner and made some changes. The most basic instructions. But the higher central instructions have undergone extremely complex encryption, and he has not made much progress yet."

"Then what are they planning?" Ethan was nervous and didn't realize that he was holding the priest's arm tightly, and even the veins were exposed. Tanithel didn't care much, "They plan to fight it and sail in the opposite direction to the stars of the Third Reich. And we Eve people will walk with you temporarily as hostages."

Ethan froze for a moment, then bent his knees, buried his head between his arms, and calmed down his thoughts seriously. He raised his head, his green eyes were silent, "I always feel that we can't run."

Tanithel looked at him and suddenly asked, "What did you dream of?"

Ethan was startled, as if he didn't react to his sudden change of topic.

Tanithel leaned down slightly and stared at him with a deep and enchanting gaze, gently sliding his fingers from the corner of his eyes, "When you dreamed, I perceived it. Whether this time or before, you were on the red earth. The time when you were controlled by the mother god’s consciousness. Your emotions are so rich...that makes me feel delicious."

His voice is full of seductive magnetism, and his breath blows in his ears, making his heart tickling. Ethan was at a loss and embarrassed. He doesn't know how far the Eve can perceive, can he see everything he saw in his dream?

This feeling of privacy being exposed made him very uncomfortable, as if he was stripped naked. He supported his body and stepped back a little bit, then counterattacked in a serious and alienated tone, "Do you Eve people always like to spy on others like this?"

"It's not that we are spying, but the emotions of your earthlings are too obvious. It's like an unfolded book. You can't even read it." Tanithel said with a joking smile on his lips. "But I don't Deny. I like your emotions a lot. Especially... what comes out after peeling away the emotions on the surface."

There is some inexplicable evil in his narration, and Ethan is inexplicably scared.

What is...under the surface?

"I'm looking forward to your performance in the forbidden city." Tanithel straightened up, put something on the quilt he was covering, and turned and left.

The glasses on the quilt were Ethan's glasses. The lenses were obviously broken, but they were repaired with the nano-material repair machine on the mother ship. He picked up his eyes with some trembling hands and put them on, and the world suddenly became clearer.

Looking forward to his performance in the forbidden city...

In other words, from the beginning, the priests did not think that their escape would be successful.

Ethan's head was still a little dizzy, and he slowly walked out of the mother ship's medical warehouse while holding the wall. The entire long-distance spacecraft like a giant island, the Magic Flute, is now basically empty, and there is no half of a person in the long corridor. Ethan saw some yellow-white mucus in a corner. He gagged in his throat and walked away quickly.

Most of the inhumans are concentrated in entertainment halls and restaurants. Some are playing cards, others are playing games, or smoking cigarettes in a daze. When Ethan appeared, it was Samuel who discovered him first.

Omega immediately got up from the chair, strode up to him, and pulled him into a tight hug. It was not a tender hug, but a strong, possessive action.

Ethan was a little confused, and then thought that Samuel was performing, after all, his current identity was Samuel's "pet".

Feeling a lot of double eyes focused on them, Ethan was a little uncomfortable. But he still forced himself to relax and let Samus hold him.

Finally, the man pulled a little away and raised his face with both hands, "How do you feel? Tanithel didn't allow me to come in and see you, saying that you were radiated by the Egg of Order God, I wonder if it will mutate. ."

Mutation? Ethan instinctively thought of that kind of weird worm, and his hair was straight.

Prologue God... will never be as ugly as the heirs of Entropy God... He rather hopes that if he mutates, he can become a Superman or Spiderman in ancient earth legends.

"I don't feel anything." Ethan said dryly.

"It's okay." Samuel glanced aside, seeming to look at Jarvan's direction from the corner of his light, and then suddenly he held Ethan's head and kissed him.

Ethan instinctively pushed the opponent's solid chest, but Samuel's strength he had gained from boxing since childhood could not be resisted at all, biting his lips roughly and prying open his teeth. Ethan heard the whistle and laughter of several inhumans around him, and he realized that Samus probably made it for someone to see.

Did someone suspect Samuel while he was in a coma?

Ethan had no choice but to fight, his eyes closed, and his backhand hugged Samuel's broad back. He obviously felt Omega's body pause slightly, and was probably surprised by his cooperation. Ethan wanted to laugh inexplicably, but it was a pity that his mouth was firmly blocked, and the laugh became a sob, but it seemed to be enjoying himself.

But suddenly, he noticed Tanisel walking into the entertainment hall. He noticed that the priest was looking at them, his gray eyes were slightly narrowed, and there was an unpredictable coldness in his eyes.

At that moment, he suddenly became extremely flustered, with an inexplicable sense of shame. He hurriedly pushed Samuel's body hard, but the other party sensed his firm resistance and had to let go of him. The play was almost done anyway, Samuel glanced provocatively in Jarvan's direction, then he took Ethan's shoulder carelessly, and walked to the sofa he was sitting on. Ethan glanced at the priest who walked through the entertainment hall expressionlessly from the corner of his eyes, wondering why it felt like a student who had done something wrong facing the teacher without complacency.

It's really inexplicable. Isn't he just pretending to kiss, he is nervous and fart? Does that priest have nothing to do with him?

Probably because... the priest kissed him before, so he somehow felt betrayed that kiss?

But... Tanithel should just want to use that way to free him from his self-destructive thoughts. How could that kind of character really want to kiss him, a dull Beta? Why is it so passionate? Ethan listened to the various shouts of Samuel playing cards with another inhuman, and fell into a deep self-spurn.
