Falling Into The Abyss - Vol 2 Chapter 96
Ethan and Samuel stared at the priest with staring eyes, and uttered, “Huh? Who?”
Tanisel repeated it slowly with a very patient tone, “I said, my dad is the younger brother of King Eve, Grand Duke Nishikawa.”
“Then you are the nephew of King Eve! My god, you are still a prince!” Samuel looked incredulous and looked up and down the priest. “No wonder you are so courageous that even the fugitive dare to go to Iraq. Fuxing belt. I dare to go back to be a Duke even if he is expelled!”
Tanisel tilted his head innocently, “But my parents are no longer alive, and I have already accepted the ritual of purifying souls, and dedicated everything to the Lord God in this life, so I have no inheritance rights.”
“That’s also royal blood!” Samuel smiled with an expression of “I don’t care, you are a local tyrant anyway”, hugging his arms and smiling, “I used to think that we might be sent back if we were found out, but now it doesn’t seem to be too much. Worried.”
“Don’t be too optimistic.” Tanithel became serious and said with a serious face, “I said not to overestimate the privileges my identity brings to me. Before, I misappropriated the eggs of the God of Destruction and defied many times. The higher-level order has already been punished, and this time I took you there to take a big risk. You must listen to my arrangements. Don’t do anything I don’t let you do.”
Ethan backhanded Samuel’s mouth, who wanted to lift the bar, and said to Tanithel, “We all listen to your arrangements.”

When their spacecraft entered the territory of the Eve Star Territory, they received a communication request from the Border Administration. At that time, Ethan and Samuel hid in the shower room to monitor the blind spot according to Tanisir’s orders, so that Tanisir could Said he came back alone.
Their plan is to first park at a relatively remote Eve space station. Tanithel will need to buy some camouflaged items on the black market. Ethan and Samuel didn’t even leave the spaceship a step during the whole process, locked themselves in the dark spaceship and waited for Tanithel to return. Samuel became unusually silent, shutting himself in the room every day, not knowing what he was doing.
On the other hand, Ethan turned on the anonymous protection lock and used the computer on the spacecraft to browse the news. In the past within the Earth Alliance, all news was censored and filtered, and now it came out to enter the domains that I had only heard of before but never had the opportunity to actually enter. He knew that the Earth Alliance was not very peaceful. First, the experiment on Neptune caused a large-scale second universe infection. The infection spread to the space station near Neptune at that time. It is said that many people died because of the late discovery. Ethan did not dare to imagine how those people died. At that time, in the space station, he watched the steel structure quickly distorted and melted, the space was cut to pieces, and the person’s head was twisted and deformed, and his brain was pulled from his nostrils like noodles. The terrible look coming out.
There was no report of such a big disaster in the Earth Alliance, and it was obviously blocked by the military. Now that the infected area has been controlled and sealed off, no one knows what happened inside, nor whether there are any survivors.
Another piece of news that caught his attention was that the spread of the faith of the Benefactor Society has even attracted the attention of some international media. They used a mocking tone to say that many citizens of the Earth Alliance had been brainwashed by a prisoner, causing the government to be overwhelmed and might secretly execute the cult leader Chen who was locked in the forbidden city. They described Chen Zeng as very mysterious, saying that he has a unique personal charm. When he first saw him, he just felt very kind and kind. The longer time he felt, the more convincing his calmness became. Some of the things he predicted were also One by one came true.
And his most widely circulated prophecy is the coming of the “great evil god”. Because in the Forbidden City, a terrible mutant massacre of prisoners did happen.
Ethan saw his own face in that report. It was a photo of him when he was still the Secretary of the Energy Bureau, wearing a tailored suit and shirt, with partial hair, neatly fixed with hairspray, and wearing a pair of valuable thin-framed glasses. No one would have thought that such a gentle-looking Beta turned out to be a mutant monster.
Ethan didn’t expect that he would become the missionary material of the Benefactor’s Association, and he just felt dumbfounded.
Obviously they forced him to become like that…
*********
Tanithel was wearing a dark gray cloak and hood when he came back, carrying a large box in his hand. After opening it, there were some Eve costumes and many strange solution reagents, which looked like a Frankenstein box. Tanithel took out some artificial pointed ears, as well as some messy bottles and jars, saying that they are all materials used by professional live-action makeup artists, and they stick to the ears as if they are real, as long as they are not close. If you look closely, you can’t tell at all.
The priest forced Ethan to put on an Eve-style dark green velvet long coat, with a delicate light gold string tied around his waist, and white dark pattern trousers on his legs. Then he was pressed on the chair by the priest again, working on his ears and face for a while, and then the priest nodded with satisfaction, and let Ethan stand in front of the mirror and take a picture with some pride. Ethan was a little dumbfounded, now his skin itself was a little sickly pale, with the two pointed ears and the third eye, it really looked like an Eve. On this basis, Tanisel clamped something that looked like ear studs on each of his ears. In fact, they were two small realistic projection holes, which would project almost imperceptible to the naked eye. The light beam covers the face with a thin layer, slightly changing the shape of the facial features. Therefore, Ethan was completely unable to recognize himself in the mirror at this time. He opened his eyes wide, and his shock was beyond words, and the slender eyes in the mirror looked even the Eve boy who was less than twenty years old and his eyes widened. .
I can’t tell that Ethan is actually 30 years old…
The explanation given by the priest is that the average human height is shorter than that of the Eve, and it is less suspicious to pretend to be young.
Samuel also had a magic expression, and he looked at the two similar “ear clips” lying on his palms with some hesitation. Fortunately, this kind of disguise artifact can only be bought in the black market, otherwise I would not know whether someone is a real face or a fake face when walking on the street.
“Remember to wear the things on your ears when you go out.” Tanisel warned. “I will say that you two are my apprentices who are taking in. You must learn to do things to me when you are out. Some ceremonial actions, and call me a “mentor”.”
Day and night, Tanithel taught Ethan and Samuel some basic priestly manners, as well as simple Eve language. Ethan learns very quickly. Although he is not very proficient in language, he can basically get through with the help of a 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 make him pretend to be dumb and keep silent.
A week later, they finally saw Eve Star from a distance.
It was really an extremely beautiful planet, surrounded by a dreamy atmosphere like purple clouds, and large patches of colorful land floating in the blue-purple water. There is a ring of dark purple planets around it slowly rotating, like the flying skirt of a ballerina. Two satellites, probably smaller than the moon, are also dancing tirelessly on different orbits.
It is slightly larger than the earth, and it takes about 28 hours for a week of autobiography, and 452 days to revolve around that beautiful red giant star. There are more and more spaceships in orbit near it. The shape of those spaceships is obviously different from the circular style of the earth. The lines are smooth and slender, like silver whales swimming in the vast ocean of the universe.
The spacecraft merged into an orbit around the earth, circled for half a circle to a preset position, and started the landing propulsion procedure. The spacecraft roared through the thick lavender atmosphere, burning a cold blue diagonal line. They fell into the vast sea of peacock blue, which was the closest landing point to Siloan, the capital of Eve. When the spacecraft was up and down in the sea for a while, there were many small plates-like things floating in the water. Duckweed generally lined up at the exit of the spacecraft and extended to the land not far away.
The hatch slowly opened, and Ethan held his breath when he saw the beautiful sky that seemed to be eternally floating in the sunset. The white city in the distance undulates on the slopes of the mountains, and the semi-circular planetary wheel that spans half of the sky at the end of the sky reflects thousands of exquisite colors and dyes the clouds into an impressionist style.
It’s such a gorgeous and unreal planet, it feels inexplicably compatible with Tanithel…
They walked toward the shore on the “duckweed” on the sea, and there were several spaceships floating on the sea silently, like sleeping sea monsters. At the port, a wide staircase rises from the sea, leading to a white stone bridge extending into the sea above. On the right side of the stone bridge is a white stone statue that is taller than the bridge. It is an elderly man with a long beard wearing a robe. On the other side of the bridge is a black stone statue. The man’s dress suddenly looks a bit like an Egyptian pharaoh, but when you look closely, it is different.
For some reason, the black figure made Ethan a little uneasy, and he always felt that he seemed to have some unpleasant familiarity.
Tanithel put on a gray hood when he set foot on the stone steps, and seemed unwilling to attract attention. In order to prevent someone from coming to pick him up or watch him, he deliberately speeded up his journey and arrived one day earlier than expected. When Ethan saw this, he pulled on the cap on the cloak, and only Samuel followed nonchalantly. Anyway, there was a simulative projection on his ears, and he didn’t feel anything to be afraid of.
This is the first time Ethan has seen so many Eve people. Because I was used to seeing the priest’s non-cannibalistic fireworks, I suddenly saw the grounded version of Eve who would squeeze in the market like humans, bargain at small vendors, and swagger through the market in groups. People have a subtle sense of disillusionment. But it is undeniable that the Eve people have a peaceful and tranquil look, even when they are arguing, they are a little more rational and harmonious.
The Eve’s city is completely different from humans. They did not build the buildings on the ground very high, and they like to use curves and complex structures very much. The whole city is like a poem with ups and downs. Those shuttles in the orbit of the air are also much less than the earth space station, and the dual-purpose vehicles are constantly flowing, so that traffic jams will not occur.
Ethan looked all the way, his heart filled with wonder. 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 desperate. He has never seen such a city, such a city full of vitality and color…
Tanithel called for an autopilot and took Ethan and Samuel in. He sat in the front seat and said in Eve 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 thinking about picking up your past events. Wuyuehu Manor is my father’s fief and the place where I lived when I was young. You will be safe there.” The priest sitting in the front seat looked back. , Smiled at him, “I’m going home with me, are you excited?”
The author has something to say:
In the next chapter, I will enter the “Ghost Castle”, I don’t know if the father-in-law will crawl out of the grave to see the “daughter-in-law” or something~~
