Ethan had a dream, dreamed that he was going home. The artificial sunlight of the fifth space station floats with thin light and shadows, swaying on the walls of the villa composed of many white cubes. From the window on the second floor, I could see my mother playing the cello, her face was rosy, and she didn't look like she had cancer at all. Seeing him come back, she smiled at him, vaguely showing her gorgeous appearance when she was young.
Ethan felt a warmth filled with a touch of sadness in his heart, his eyes were laughing, but he wanted to cry inexplicably. He pushed open the door and saw his father, Adrian Eldridge, walking out of the bright kitchen with a coffee cup in his hand. In his fifties, he was still tall and straight, and his face was still handsome. He was still that unsmiling look, exuding a strong alpha aura, and Ethan would still feel scared when his sharp eyes swept over.
"Dad... I'm back."
Adrian didn't show the disgusted or angry expression he imagined. He simply nodded to him like he did when he was a child, and said to him, "Your mother just baked the blueberry pie, in the kitchen. Remember to wash your hands. "The tone was flat and indifferent, as if it was just one day when he was a child, he just came back from playing crazy with the neighbor's children outside.
However, it was this flat tone that made Ethan finally unable to control it and burst into tears.
Then he woke up. Feeling someone wiping the corners of his eyes, he opened his eyes wearily, his brows furrowed tightly, as if he was overwhelmed. A sharp and severe headache swept through his wakeful consciousness, and he groaned uncomfortably.
The memory came back to his mind, and he suddenly opened his eyes wide, unable to believe that he was alive.
An unfamiliar Alpha smell lingered in his nose. Ethan realized that there was someone beside him. Before turning his head, a puppet-like delicate face appeared in the somewhat blurred vision, and the golden curly hair was reflected by the white light on 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 dry and hoarse, barely recognizable even by himself. Tanissell walked away, but did not go very far, and after the footsteps stopped, there was the sound of pouring water. Ethan sat up with his slightly heavy body, and found himself lying on a clean hospital bed, surrounded by many medical machines, the arms of the medical robot dangled from the ceiling and stood quietly aside, the iron-grey wall reflecting The light cast by the ceiling clearly is no longer the No. 18 pioneering base on the red earth.
"Where is this?" Ethan asked, took the water glass that Tanissell handed over, and gulped it down.
"We're on the mother ship," Tanissell said.
"Mother ship?!" Ethan released his hand, and the water glass dropped to the ground with a crisp sound, "We succeeded??"
"That's it..." Tanisel didn't have a happy look on his face, but instead had a preoccupied hesitation. But he quickly smiled at him again, "It's all thanks to you this time, otherwise we might not be able to get rid of Shabnir, and I wouldn't be able to get some samples of her secretions."
Ethan's mind was empty, and he should have felt happy, after all, he was alive. But he couldn't smile at all, and he was even inexplicably disappointed.
He looked left and right, but didn't see the soldier or the chief of the guard with a gun, "Why am I here?" The implication is, why didn't he shut him and other non-humans to the warehouse floor below, like coming the same time. Moreover... He even bothered the other priest to pour water for him personally. It seems that Tanisel has been by his side for a while.
Taniser turned around suddenly, sat on his hospital bed, and turned to look at him, "Something happened while you were in a coma. We left the red earth in the spaceship we used before and returned to the mother ship, but The people on the mother ship are all gone, probably devoured by Shabnir. Your companions have captured your chief of guard, and they plan to flee."
escape? Escape from Earth Alliance
Ethan was so shocked by the news that he was speechless. A few words meant so much. No need to go back to the forbidden city? become free? At the same time, can't go home again
Tanisel didn't notice his thousands of emotions, "We Eves are left with three people, including me. We don't plan to fight inhumans, and we don't plan to use the electric shock function in your collars to control them. You guys. But there are a few issues left unresolved. Fifty light-years around the red earth are barren dead zones, we only have enough fuel for us to reach the earth, and if we rush to other planets, we will run out of fuel and be lost forever in Dangers in the universe."
"Also, our collars and the ship itself have tracking systems..." Ethan whispered. "Do they have a way to remove the collars?"
Tanisel shook his head and replied casually, "There are less than ten of you inhumans left. Otto, who was best at this technology, has died. Derek has just hacked into the mother ship's brain and made some modifications. The most basic commands. But the higher central commands have been encrypted with extreme complexity, and he has not made much progress.”
"Then what are their plans?" Ethan didn't realize that he was gripping the priest's arm so tightly that even the blue veins were exposed. Tanisel didn't care much. "They plan to fight and sail in the opposite direction to the star field of the Third Reich. We Eves will temporarily go with you as hostages."
Ethan was stunned 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 deadly, "I always feel that we can't run."
Tanisel looked at him and suddenly asked, "What did you dream about?"
Ethan was stunned, as if he didn't realize the direction of the topic he suddenly changed.
Tanissell leaned down slightly, stared at him with a deep and charming gaze, his fingers slipped gently from the corner of his eyes, "I sensed it when you were dreaming. Whether it was this time or before on the red earth, you The time when you were controlled by the consciousness of the mother goddess. Your emotions are so rich... that it makes me feel very delicious."
His voice is full of seductive magnetism, and the breath blows in his ears, making one's heart tingle. Ethan was bewildered and embarrassed. He didn't know what the Eves could perceive, could they see everything he saw in his dreams
This feeling of privacy being exposed made him very uncomfortable, as if he had been stripped naked. He pushed his body back a little, and responded in a serious and distant tone, "Do you Eves always like to spy on others like this?"
"It's not that we snooped, but the emotions of you people on Earth are too obvious, like an open book, you can't even read it." Tanisel had a playful smile on his lips, "However, I don't Deny I'm into your emotions. Especially... what's revealed after peeling back layers of those emotions on the surface."
There is some kind of inexplicable evil in his narrative, and Ethan is inexplicably scared.
What's under the surface...
"I'm looking forward to your performance in the Forbidden City." Tanisel straightened up, put something on the quilt he was covering, and turned away.
On the quilt were Ethan's glasses, the lenses apparently shattered, but re-repaired with the nanomaterial repair machine on the mother ship. He picked up his eyes with trembling hands and put them on, and the world suddenly became much clearer.
Looking forward to his performance in Forbidden City...
That is to say, from the very 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 medical cabin of the mother ship, leaning against the wall. The entire long-distance spaceship like a giant island, the Magic Flute, is now basically empty, and there is not half a person in the long corridor. Ethan saw some yellowish-white mucus in a corner, and he groaned in his throat, and quickly walked away.
Most of the non-humans are concentrated in entertainment halls and restaurants. Some people are playing cards, others are playing games, or smoking cigarettes in a daze. When Ethan appeared, Samuel was the first to spot him.
The Omega immediately got up from his chair, strode up in front of him, and pulled him into a tight hug. It wasn't a warm hug, but a powerful, possessive action.
Ethan was a little confused, and immediately thought that Samuel was performing. After all, his current status was Samuel's "pet".
Feeling a lot of eyes on them, Ethan felt a little uncomfortable. But he still forced himself to relax, letting Samuel hold it.
Finally, the man slightly distanced himself and raised his face with both hands, "How do you feel? Tanisel doesn't allow me to go in to see you, saying that you were irradiated by the egg of the Sequence God, I wonder if it will mutate or not. ."
mutate? Ethan instinctively thought of that kind of monster, his hair standing on end.
Sequence God... It won't be as ugly as the offspring of the God of Entropy... He would rather hope that if he mutates, he will become a type of Superman or Spider-Man in the ancient legends of the earth.
"I don't feel anything," Ethan said dryly.
"It's fine." Samuel glanced aside, as if looking in the direction of Jarvan from the corner of his eye, then suddenly held Ethan's head and kissed him.
Ethan instinctively pushed against the opponent's solid chest, but Samuel's strength from boxing since he was a child could not resist him at all, biting his lip roughly and prying open his teeth. Ethan heard a few non-humans around him whistling and cacophonous laughter, and he realized that Samuel was probably doing it for someone.
Did someone doubt Samuel while he was in a coma
Ethan had no choice but to fight. He closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around Samuel's broad back. He clearly felt Omega's body twitching slightly, and was probably surprised by his cooperation. Ethan wanted to laugh inexplicably, but unfortunately his mouth was tightly blocked, and his laughter turned into a whimper, but he seemed to be enjoying it.
But suddenly, he noticed that Tanisel had entered the entertainment hall. He noticed that the priest looked at them, his gray eyes narrowed slightly, and there was an unpredictable coldness in his eyes.
At that moment, he suddenly became extremely flustered, with an inexplicable sense of shame. He quickly pushed Samuel's body hard, but the other party noticed his firm resistance and had to let him go. The scene was almost done anyway, Samuel glanced in Jarvan's direction defiantly, then put his arms around Ethan's shoulders and walked towards the sofa he was sitting on. Out of the corner of his eye, Ethan glanced at the priest who walked past the entertainment hall with a blank expression. For some reason, he felt ashamed facing the teacher like a student who had done something wrong.
It's really inexplicable, isn't it just pretending to kiss, he's nervous? Does the priest have nothing to do with him
Probably because... the priest had kissed him before, so he somehow felt betrayed by that kiss
But... Tanissell should just be trying to get him out of his self-destructive thoughts that way, how could that character really want to kiss him, the taciturn Beta? What's the point of being self-motivated? Ethan fell into deep self-disgust as he listened to the various shouts that Samuel made while playing cards with another non-human.
