Falling into the Abyss

Vol 2 Chapter 45: Atonement: Mars (5)

The blue liquid quickly penetrated into the blood vessels, and Tanithel raised the syringe abruptly, leaving five blood spots on the skin. In the first few minutes, Ethan didn't feel any change, but the waiting for the rain to come made him extremely nervous. In order to appease him, Tanithel poured him a glass of red wine, and he drank it without even looking at it.

The wine filled the abdominal cavity with ambiguous heat, which made his nerves slightly relaxed. However, at this moment, a sharp tingling pain spread from the back of the neck, as if being bitten by something. He whispered in pain, and reflexively reached out to touch it. He felt something move under his skin, like a pulse, but the pulse disappeared.

Then the tingling began to spread down the spine, intensified, and began to spread to the limbs. At first, Ethan was able to withstand the fine, itchy pain that seemed to be pierced by a thin needle all over his body, but as time passed, the pain did not alleviate, and it became more unbearable. His brows were frowned tightly, beads of sweat rolled down from the corner of his forehead, his teeth were bitten into his lips, and his hands were tightly grasping the sofa under him. But even so, there was no way to suppress the painful groan that leaked from his lips.

Seeing his eyes closed, Tanithel stretched out his hand to touch his shoulder. But his hand had just touched the opponent's body, and Ethan's whole body trembled, as if the place he touched was burned, he dodged abruptly, and there was an unstoppable pain in his throat. He seemed to use his best to open his eyes and look at Tanithel, struggling to say, "Don't touch me...it hurts..."

Tanithel felt a little distressed when he saw his composure. He whispered, "The most primitive forces before the birth of countless universes are fighting in your body. As long as you hold them through, it will be fine."

Ethan nodded reluctantly, and curled up on the sofa. He seems to want to reduce the area of ​​his body in contact with external things, probably because the forces of order and chaos are fighting in every cell in his body, so any additional stimulation is very painful for him.

Tanithel knelt before him, closed his eyes, but opened the third eye on his forehead to the extreme. He could see the fighting energy flow in Ethan's body, like vines that had been tightly wrapped around each other since birth. People always think that order is good and chaos is evil, but in the mysterious third eye of the Eve, the two energies are actually the same disturbing and fearful color, which does not exist in the spectrum of the naked eye. s color.

Tanithel lightly chanted the spell written in Eve language, which were short sentences composed of syllables that would relax people's consciousness. Together with the trained spiritual power of the priests, they could temporarily form a spiritual field. He continued to expand his spiritual field until Ethan was completely wrapped in it. At that moment, the two forces boiling in Ethan's body also impacted his consciousness.

Priests can use this method to temporarily control animals of the same kind, foreign race, and even lower-level animals whose mental power is weaker than them. But this ability is also very dangerous. When faced with a mental power that is too strong, he may be caught by the opponent and then completely swallowed. Although Ethan's mental power is not strong, he still has the power of Entropy God and Xu God in his body, which has caused a great impact on him. For a moment he almost wanted to retreat, but Ethan's unconscious sigh made him change his mind.

Tanithel tried to stabilize his will, put all his attention on Ethan's brain, and tried to cut off the perception of pain in his body. He weaves his spirit into a filter, wrapping Ethan's consciousness layer by layer. Those turbulent shocks constantly attacked his spirit, and the tingling began to appear on his body.

Ethan’s expression relaxed a lot at that moment, and the pain he felt suddenly reduced a lot. He thought he was going to finally survive, but opened his eyes but saw the priest who was kneeling in front of him closed his eyes tightly. , The single eye in the forehead exudes a dazzling silver-white streamer, which looks gorgeous and holy. However, when you look closely, you can see that his face is pale, his brows are twisted together, and his hands are clenched into fists. Obviously, he was suffering from pain.

He is taking at least half of the pain for Ethan.

Ethan was stunned. He doesn't even know how the other party did it, but he just does. He felt the breath of Tanithel lingering around him, like the softest kiss and touch, and like a solid copper wall and iron wall, blocking the sharp pain of a thousand needles.

At that moment, in the pain that was still meticulous and unbearable, the shock Ethan felt was beyond words. No one has ever done this for him, even if it is used, he has never been so gentle.

He opened his mouth and wanted to tell Tanisel to stop, "I can..."

However, Tanithel interrupted him, "Don't say anything."

Ethan had to shut his mouth, he still did not dare to move, nor did he dare to touch Tanithel. They just sat opposite each other, bearing the same pain. Time passed by minute by minute, as long as centuries. When the pain finally subsided, and when the black lines on the back of Ethan's neck finally shrank and faded like withered roots, Tanithel finally closed his third eye, and his clothes were completely drenched with sweat. And Ethan even collapsed on the sofa, panting with his mouth wide open, his eyes blank.

Tanithel propped up his body, sat on the sofa and pushed Ethan's body over, lifted his collar to look at the back of his neck. Those black lines are almost gone, only a small thin black line is buried in the hairline.

"It seems to work." Tanithel's voice was also a little weak, but he was relieved. He chuckled, "I think you probably don't want to vaccinate the remaining four injections at once?"

Ethan also chuckled, trying to turn his body back, and looked at the priest sideways, "I changed my mind, I'm going to become a **** of entropy."

The two of them slumped on the sofa like this, smirking while looking sideways. There is nothing funny about the whole incident, but Ethan just wanted to laugh and couldn't stop. He stretched out his hand to wipe the wet temples, and pulled away the sweat-soaked hair. "Sometimes I really wonder, am I the most **** unlucky in the world? Well, just want to talk to someone, just talk and talk. I entered the forbidden city, and as soon as I entered, I was sent to a ghost place like Red Earth, and I was also infected. It's a pity that the forbidden city is not allowed to buy.

Tanithel curled up his mouth, "But you met me?"

"...What's so happy to meet you?" Ethan said stiffly.

Tanithel's beautiful eyes glanced at him diagonally, "You look happy every time you see me?"

"Do you know that human psychology calls you a narcissistic personality?"

"Do you know that your behavior is called changing the subject?"

Ethan laughed a few times again, then slowly turned his head and looked at the priest's smooth and graceful profile, "Why are you helping me like this?"

"I said you are important to me."

"Is my lineage of the Celestial Star? I believe that if you find it, you should be able to find someone else? And I have now mutated, indicating that my lineage can't save me either."

Tanithel shook his head, "You humans probably won't believe what we believe, but for us Eve people, there is a kind of intuition beyond rationality that has been guiding our behavior. We call it super sense. My Chaogan told me that you are the one I need."

"...You are right, I can't understand..."

"There is nothing to understand. The Prologue God universe will always give you an illusion that everything happens with a cause and result. But in fact, in the world of Entropy God, maybe one thing happens without any reason. It just happened.” Tanithel also turned to look at him, “You don’t need to try to understand anything, and you don’t need to try to control anything, every minute and every second of living in the present, It will make you a lot easier."

"Living in the present? Hahaha, it's easy to say." Ethan murmured, "I have known what my future life will be like since I was a kid, but I never thought that one day I would become a monster."

"Before I was seven years old, I thought I would become an interstellar traveler who specializes in selling toys. Later, when I was seven, I was picked up by an uncle who would visit me every few months. That uncle is Grand Duke Eve Star, and I am his illegitimate child. His original wife died of illness and did not leave him any heirs, so I was accused of his heir. From then on I always thought I would inherit him. Title, until I was seventeen years old, in order to be able to get in touch with the egg of the **** of preface and renew the life of my critically ill father, I voluntarily accepted the purification ceremony and became a priest."

Ethan opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth slightly, but he could not speak. He had never heard Tanisel talk about himself, and the priest always looked calm and composed, as if he was born a priest in control of the whole situation, so he never thought that Tanisel was becoming a priest What kind of life might have been lived before.

Tanithel looked at his shocked face and showed a rare, somewhat tired smile, "Look, no one can imagine what he will become in the future."

"Then did you save your father?"

"No." A simple answer, without any redundant explanation. Tanithel sighed softly, barely audible.

In order to save his father, abandoning the worldly life in his youth and devoting his body and mind to God, it was nothing.

No wonder he is always different from the other priests of Eve in the impression, no wonder he is always so deviant. I don't know whether he regretted his desperate choice at that moment when he watched his father die?

If Tanithel, who used to be in Ethan's heart, was like a demigod and omnipotent, now he is lying pale next to him, his glory is no longer, but he finally looks like a man of flesh and blood. Ethan felt a faint distress in his heart, he leaned forward, and for the first time actively kissed Tanithel's forehead.

Tanithel raised his head and looked at the charming green eyes. He stretched out his hand and stroked Ethan's eyebrows, then suddenly held his face, and kissed Ethan's lips again.

With lips and tongue intertwined, ears and temples rubbed together, Ethan responded enthusiastically, with a certain ease of abandoning all shackles.

He would not admit that he might have been moved by the priest. But at least at this moment, he wants to embrace the blond man in front of him wholeheartedly, wants to forget the possible horrible future, wants to allow his heart that has been torn once to throb again, just like nothing I was hurt like that.

The author has something to say:

The last half sentence at the end refers to a sermon by Father Alfred D'Souza (but the author seems controversial?): Happinessisajourney,notadestination.So,Worklikeyoudon'tneedmoney.Lovelikeyou'veneverbeenhurtandDanceLikenoone'swatching.

Looking forward to being mutated by Jun Sensen, please be patient and wait a while...
