Falling Into The Abyss - Vol 2 Chapter 95

When it was dark, the three people returned the keys and took the driverless car back to the spacecraft management office of City A. After quickly signing the lease contract, the receptionist named Les took them to the management office’s unmanned vehicle. The car drove to the spacecraft dock outside the city. Rows of silver private spaceships are parked on the vast land. Although the sky is full of wind and sand, they are still properly maintained, shining with fresh metallic luster.

Les led them on one of the small spacecraft that could accommodate about five to ten people for long-distance flights, and roughly explained the operating specifications. Before leaving, I saw him whispering to the priest. The spring tide brought rain on his face, and he was close to the priest when he was so close. Seeing that Ethan wanted to rush over, the priest pulled away. Impulse. Samus looked at him from the side, his eyes a little gloomy.

Ethan felt the haze spreading over Samuel. He turned around and saw Samuel sitting on the swivel chair in the driving position, as if he had just turned away from his previous gaze. Ethan asked, “Are you okay? Is it something uncomfortable?”

Samus answered perfunctorily, “No.”

“Is your estrus coming soon?” Ethan suddenly became a little worried. This time he was going to perform a curvature flight again. Ethan still remembered the critical situation on the spacecraft during the first mission after entering the forbidden city.

“You’re so generous. When do I need you to help me calculate the estrus period?” Samus said impatiently.

Ethan touched his head and couldn’t ask any more questions. Of course he cares about Samuel, but there is a lot of selfishness in this concern. After all, this time there is only one Alpha on the ship, and he doesn’t want this Alpha to happen to the only Omega on the ship…

Suddenly, Ethan felt a little bit about gains and losses. He turned his head and looked at the priest who was showing a charming smile to the male Omega receptionist, an unprecedented worry appeared in his mind. Although the Eve has a strong control over instinct, Tanithel is also an Alpha anyway, and his nature is to be attracted to Omega. And he will never be able to satisfy his strongest desire to possess an Omega.

He had never possessed a priest before, even if he found out that he had fallen in love with Tanithel, he never thought that he would be with him forever. That’s because his guarded heart, which has been wounded, has been admonishing himself not to expect too much and not to fall into it too easily. But now, he found that his bond with the priest was getting stronger and stronger, even to the point where he began to think about the future.

This is too strange, because he is not even sure if he has a future.

Nales finally left with reluctance, Tanisel locked the cabin and began to set the spacecraft’s route. Ethan had no idea about piloting the spaceship, so he sat in the back seat and watched the priest and Samus busy. He was in a daze, and gently touched the dense scars and bulges on the back of his neck with his hands in a daze, feeling them spread all the way to the shoulder blades, and seemed to be spreading down the entire back. The occasional itching sensation makes him upset and unable to concentrate.

“Ethan, you go to the sleep hall and wait for us first.” Tanithel turned around and saw Ethan seemed to be in a bad spirit, so he said to him.

Since it can accommodate up to ten people, the sleeping hall is also smaller than any spacecraft he has seen before. He took off his clothes in the locker room, looked in the mirror and looked at the body of his ribs faintly, and realized that he had become so thin at some point. The well-proportioned body that I used to exercise in the gym has long since disappeared, and the rosy and healthy complexion is gone. He touched his body and became increasingly disgusted with himself.

Ever since I saw my mother’s haggard look after entering adulthood, she turned into the same appearance, and it has been Ethan’s nightmare.

When he came home to visit after his mother fell ill, he used to sit in front of his mother’s hospital bed, holding her wrinkled hands, and listening to her tell him what would happen when he entered adulthood. Because she wanted to give him enough time to prepare mentally, so as not to be ignorant of her own destiny.

She said that when she enters adulthood, there will be a period of extreme fatigue, not wanting to see anyone, always in a kind of inexplicable fear and anxiety, just want to lock herself in a safe place to be alone, and completely lose her appetite. This period of time will last about one to two weeks, after which there will be two to three days when you suddenly feel refreshed, and the appearance of the whole person will be extremely beautiful, but after this period of time, people will quickly age and die. Just like a butterfly, once out of the cocoon, although you can get a moment of beauty, the rest is eternal withering and death.

Ethan remembers the time when his mother locked herself in the room, remembered what his father told him about adulthood, and remembered how his mother looked when she just came out of the room. At that time, she was as beautiful as the Virgin Mary in the old church. She was obviously the same person as before, but she seemed to glow all over. But after just three days, the previous beauty disappeared like bubbles, wrinkles covered her once plump and beautiful cheeks like a spider web, and the skin lost its luster.

Although I haven’t reached adulthood yet, I look pretty much the same.

How could Tanithel like him like this? It’s just like the withered look of my mother when she entered adulthood. If it weren’t for the infection left by the **** of entropy, the priest wouldn’t even look at him, right?

He hates himself who is so concerned about gains and losses, and seems to have fallen into the vicious circle of Roland that he was obsessed with.

Leaving from the territory of the Earth Alliance and entering the star field of Eve will pass an automatic detection barrier. If the spacecraft’s main brain does not show a legal certificate, it will trigger an alarm and be blocked by an electromagnetic net. Fortunately, Tanithel seemed to have prepared another false identity before coming to Earth, allowing them to pass the level smoothly without even interrupting their dormancy. Until the spacecraft enters the Eve star field, the master brain starts the wake-up procedure.

Ethan took a bath, sat in his own room in a comfortable bathrobe and watched the movie, slowly sipping a glass of red wine, light and shadow projected a desert on a foreign planet around him. Suddenly the mastermind said that someone had asked to enter, and Ethan opened the door and it turned out to be Samuel.

He was taken aback, “Samuel? What happened?”

“Can’t you come if you’re okay?” Samuel looked gloomy and passed Ethan. Ethan noticed that he was carrying a few cans of beer.

Samus unceremoniously sat on Ethan’s bed, which was the center of the desert, shaking his head from side to side as if he was exhausted, and there was a clicking sound in his neck. A samurai in black iron armor next to him was slowly raising a rusty knife dripping with blood, as if he was about to chop Samuel. Ethan quickly made a gesture and turned off the movie.

“Your priest said that we will be on Eve’s Star in three days.” Samuel opened a can of beer, took a big sip, and let out a comfortable sigh.

Ethan nodded, sat down on the edge of the bed next to Samuel, and reached for a can.

“Do you think he can protect you?” Samuel asked.

Ethan swallowed the bitter liquor, “Well, I believe him.”

“Then, will you stay on Eve for the rest of your life?” Samuel snorted, “Your father seems to be still in the Earth Alliance. If they threaten you with your father’s safety, what will you do?”

“…I don’t know… I’ll talk about it then.” Ethan smiled at him, “It’s not certain whether I can live until then.”

“What do you mean?”

“You should have noticed it too, I am like someone who can live a long time?”

“Didn’t Tanisel say he has a way to treat you?”

“Samuel.” Ethan raised his green eyes and looked at him faintly, “I don’t even count people, how can he save me?”

“What do you mean? No one counts. Aren’t you good?”

“Have you forgotten how I was when I became that way?” Ethan’s smile became more and more ghostly. “You were so scared of me, so afraid to approach me, you forgot all about it?”

“I was not mentally prepared! This is all temporary, and you will get better.”

“No…” Ethan rubbed his eyebrows, and when he opened his eyes, his pupils became longer and the green became thicker, “Because, the second time I became that way Everything I do is what I really want to do in my heart.” He said, grinning, showing neat and white teeth, but for some reason the other face looked a little weird, “It’s not so much that I can’t control myself. It’s better to say that you can no longer suppress your true self…”

Samuel drank a whole jar in silence, and then opened another jar, “Don’t be too harsh with yourself.” With a dumb throat, he suddenly added an understatement, “Those people, **** them.”

Ethan heard the pain condensed in his tone, feeling sad, and stretched out a hand to press on Samuel’s shoulder.

“You know, I have never said love or liking to him like this.” Samuel raised his head and looked at the slowly rotating starry sky projection on the ceiling.

Endless regrets and regrets spread in the silence. Ethan didn’t know how to comfort him. “It’s too late now. Maybe he just exists in this universe in another way?”

“Tanisel said that in the extreme chaos, the boundaries of time and space are blurred. Maybe we will have a chance to meet the dead.” Samuel turned his head and looked at Ethan, and suddenly put his hand on it. On the back of Ethan’s hand, he firmly held his hand, “If it is really possible, I am willing to do anything.”

Samuel’s eyes burned with a frenzy that made Ethan a bit of a contradiction, but he didn’t understand what Samuel meant.

But at this moment, there was a pleasant but deliberately prolonged voice from the unclosed door, “Did I interrupt something?”

Ethan quickly withdrew his hand and stood up pretending to be casual, “Why are you both running to me?”

Tanithel walked straight over and suddenly grabbed Ethan’s waist in front of Samuel, and raised his chin to form a deep kiss. Ethan was unable to react at all by his continuous and natural movements, and after being kissed for three seconds, he hurriedly struggled, “Can you pay attention to the occasion!”

“What does it matter, there are only three of us in this spaceship. Do you mind Samus?”

Samuel glanced at him coldly, did not speak, and stood up to leave. But the priest stretched out his hand to stop him and said, “Wait a minute, I have something to discuss with you first.”

Omega had to stay in place reluctantly. The priest threw his relentless ball into the air, and several beams of light were projected in the air to form some boxes and words, which were quickly arranged and combined into a shape similar to a pyramid.

“Before entering the field of Eve Stars, I think it is necessary for you to have a general understanding of our social structure and customs, otherwise, you may encounter a lot of incomprehensible things.” Tanithel faced the two in front of him like a teacher. A student showed a “kind” smile.

The Eve people are the only remaining religious and cultural star countries in the current galactic civilization. Their religion is collectively referred to as Eveism, but it is divided into two opposing but inclusive branches-Preface or Entropy. In Eve’s history, these two factions have been fighting openly and secretly, and even a **** war broke out. Each faction once occupied a dominant position in history. In the era of interstellar civilization, the use of war as a means of solving problems is obviously outdated, and because of the influence of some relatively powerful star nations such as the Ophiuchus Alliance and the liberalism of the Third Reich, it is also considered for the benefit of the entire Eve Temple system. , The priests began to preach balanceism, that is, there is no difference between the orthodox and unorthodox beliefs in the **** of order and the **** of entropy. Instead, they represented two energies that saw each other in the universe, putting order and entropy on equal status. But in fact, today’s Eve star is still a society dominated by the belief in the God of Order.

Due to the high religious status, it is a unique temple system that manages the Eve star country centered on Eve star. The two highest-ranking temples are the Unknown Temple of the Order God and the Abyss Temple of the Entropy God. The two temples are not independent. Whenever they want to issue an order, they must obtain the consent of the other party. And the high priests above the silver priests of the two sides must meet once a month to maintain the close cooperative relationship between the two temples.

Under the two major temples, there are four major first-level temples. The function is to assist the highest temple to formulate some rules and regulations, and to supervise the implementation of the lower temples. There are a series of complex monasteries under the first-level temple, which are responsible for supervising some of the more specific and trivial rules, such as those specializing in education regulations, those specializing in cultural dissemination, and those in charge of commercial trade. Below these first-level temples are the continent-level temples, which generally govern the eight continents on Eve and other star temples. They are responsible for supervising the order of the entire continent, including some divided planets. Further down there are domain-level temples, city-level temples and even the most basic five-level temples. They are responsible for the formulation of regulations in their respective jurisdictions, and are responsible for the spiritual and spiritual mentors of the local Eve people.

The Red Moon Temple where Tanisel is located is a continent-level temple, but the continent they manage is quite special. It is the continent where the royal family of Eve is located, and it is also considered the land where the Eve civilization originated. Although it is a continent-level temple, they have great power, and in many cases they can even directly influence the decision-making of the first-level temple or even the highest temple. The Temple of the Red Moon was built in Siloan, the capital of the Eve Kingdom. It is nominally a temple of the Order God, but in recent years, the highest priest of the Commander’s Temple, the purple priest, Sionier, has gradually turned towards the **** of entropy. Pie, so the rumors about the entropy tendency of the Red Moon Temple have been heated.

This kind of news made the Temple of No Name very annoying, and for a while, he even considered deploying The O’Neill to another continent-level entropy temple. It’s a pity that Sionier is very popular, and he has a lot of connections in the royal family, and even has noble blood, plus the pressure from the Abyss Temple, so he didn’t do it.

As for the royal family of Eve, they are responsible for controlling some more secular government departments, such as police, schools, hospitals and other institutions. Therefore, their power should not be underestimated. Although they also obey the management of the temple, they are more often in a complementary relationship with the temple. They are afraid of each other and depend on each other. Especially in recent years, some important members of the Wang family have joined the ranks of priests, and this relationship is even more subtle.

When talking about this, Ethan suddenly asked, “I remember you told me before, you seem to be a nobleman?”

He interrupted Tanithel’s narration with this question, and he also heard the dozing Samus wake up slightly, “Huh? What nobleman?”

“Yes, my father’s title before his death was Grand Duke Nishikawa. If I hadn’t become a priest, I should inherit this title.” The priest replied.

“What? You are a nobleman?” Samuel obviously didn’t have the same frequency with them. Ethan pushed his head aside impatiently, and continued to ask: “So…what kind of status is Duke Nishikawa?”

Even though Ethan has read about the status of the Duke on the earth, he can’t believe it… Maybe Eve’s system is different from that of the earth?

Tanithel just shrugged his shoulders casually, “It’s the younger brother of the current King Eve.”
