Ethan didn't expect that he would finally enter the sleeping hall with a bruise on his face. Seeing that the time was about to come, he sprayed some Samuel's spray on the teeth marks on his neck, sighed in front of the mirror, and poked his red and swollen cheeks with his fingers, taking a breath of cold air from the pain.

Samuel never came back, and his stomach couldn't get out of the fire. He still stumbles a little, and somewhere is so sore that it makes one's bones go limp. Thinking of the blond priest, the lower abdomen is hot again...

He thought that it would be great if he met Tanisel before he met Roland again.

To go to sleep, it is necessary to ensure that he wears only minimal clothing, so he only wears a pair of underwear and a large bathrobe as he came. He tried hard to make his walking posture normal, but when he passed two or three inhumans, he still received a few wicked teasing glances. He ran into Samuel in the hallway leading to the sleeping chamber, who gave him a cold glance and said nothing.

Ethan glared at him too, waiting for his apology. In the end, he didn't say anything.

On the other hand, a small attendant next to Samuel teased, "Yo, it seems that you were very fierce yesterday? Samuel, you bite deeply enough."

This sigh of deep teeth was originally intended to please Samuel, secretly boasting that his Alpha spirit is sufficient. However, he didn't expect that Samuel's face became more and more serious. He didn't speak to Ethan, turned and continued on his own way.

Ethan clenched his fists in anger. If the valet hadn't followed closely behind, he would have rushed to ask Samuel. He snorted coldly, and slowly followed Samuel in the same direction.

The circular sleeping hall is very tall and wide, almost catching up with the spaceship launch bay. In the middle of the hall is the huge cylindrical sleep computer that stands above the ground, and many sleep compartments protrude from the trunk like branches and leaves. At this moment, twelve sleeping chambers have settled to the ground, waiting for non-humans to enter.

Derek was busy in front of the huge cylindrical machine with two big dark circles under his eyes. The precise keys and runes floated on the shiny cylinder like light blue tadpoles. He has been sleepless in recent days, trying to change some of the initial settings of Diana, the mastermind of the Magic Flute, so that it is possible for Diana to ignore the original captain's orders and instead obey these inhumans. However, Diana is a more sophisticated artificial intelligence than Gina on the red earth. In order to communicate with her and convince her that the captain is dead, her task of "protecting humans and other interstellar citizens" is now them, so she He should obey the reason that even ordinary humans couldn't convince them so bluntly. He locked himself and Diana's main brain in the bridge for two days and two nights, and when they came out, they looked like zombies.

Diana changed her original trajectories, but refused to send a daily report unlike the Earth Alliance. But anyway, it would take three years for the information to return to the earth from the red earth star field, and they would have already escaped by then. As long as you enter the curvature flight, the chances of being caught are very small. As long as you can enter the star field of the Third Reich, you can just find a pirate star base and change a ship.

But Derek always seemed a little uneasy, and he still spent most of the day communicating with Diana and checking some sailing settings. It seems that he is not entirely at ease with the mastermind. However, no matter what I checked, I didn't find any problems with the settings. Seeing that he was still staring at the tadpoles in a daze, Samuel walked over and pressed his head, "Wake up, it's about to go to sleep, stop for a while."

Derek rubbed his sore eyes and let out a long breath.

All indications are that he has tamed Diana, albeit a very difficult process. But he was still a little worried.

"The sleep program has already been set. We will stop the curvature movement in an area about half a light-year outside the Third Reich Star Territory, and the remaining fuel should be enough for us to reach a surrounding blue sky that is currently in the Third Reich territory. A remote space station where giant stars operate. We should be able to swap to other ships there.”

Ethan turned to look at several other non-humans who came in one after another. Chen Zeng was leading a few of his followers to pray before going to bed, but the prayers seemed to have changed a bit.

He noticed that those prayers were added with the words God bless mankind from being devoured by other great evil gods. He raised his eyebrows, remembering that his strange religion, derived from Christianity, believed in the belief that there was only one God—Yahweh? Even Satan is nothing more than an angel exiled by God, why is there a "great evil god" now

It appears that encounters on the red earth are enough to change the way anyone sees the world. They never imagined that there is such a creature in the universe, even if it is only a part of the body, it can easily cover the entire planet. And in front of those huge eyes that traverse the entire sky, human beings are like mayflies, any attempt to resist is like a joke beyond their own power... No, not even a joke is better, just like humans don't bother to think about it. An ant standing in front of him is doing the same thing. What humans think and do, that makes no sense to their creatures that are far beyond humans.

The consciousness that invaded their minds, and all the illusions he saw, maybe they came from the refraction and amplification of the chaotic side of their own subconscious after being influenced by the God of Entropy. The mother goddess, Shabu, didn't intend to seduce them at all. That huge, mysterious spiritual stance that crushes everyone's minds is just a small by-product of her arrival. She doesn't care whether she eats humans or other creatures on the red earth. , she treats them equally.

He felt the aimless divinity when his whole body was smeared with the energy radiation of the goddess and rushed towards the tentacles of the mother goddess. She didn't want to target them inhumans, but simply wanted to absorb some souls with stronger spiritual power and give birth to more children. The energy in him just made her feel like she was bitten by some insect, and there was no fear in the action of throwing him away, probably just like the reaction of a person throwing off a pesky mosquito and fly.

As for her backing away later, it was probably because the power of the Sequence God's Egg still made her a little uncomfortable, just like a person who was scalded by the fire would suddenly withdraw his hand. But she was not expelled, because Samuel had said that even when they escaped on the Magic Flute, the other half of the Red Earth was still tightly wrapped under that black, continuous mass of flesh.

The history of mankind is too long, long enough to think that he has conquered the galaxy, conquered the universe, that he is special. But maybe not.

Maybe we too are just a bunch of ants that haven't been discovered by a higher creation.

He looked down at his palms in a daze. He had used these hands to tightly clasp the huge protrusions on the tentacles. At that moment, the feeling of contact was as if the two hands were about to be melted into the skin filled with mucus.

But the strange thing is that at that time, I didn't feel any fear at all, and even felt a little… comfortable

Kind of like... homecoming

Why have that strange attachment to a monster like that? He couldn't help but fight a cold war.

Suddenly, his shoulders were pressed, his chin was lifted slightly, and then he saw Tanisel's frowning brows and eyes with some thin anger. Probably because he was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't even notice Tanissell was approaching. He unconsciously wanted to show an embarrassed smile, but halfway through his laugh, it was twisted into an embarrassing and ridiculous expression because of the pain in his cheeks.

"What's wrong with your face?" Tanithel's voice was low, a little like the grunt of a beast's throat when provoked.

Ethan pretended to smile indifferently, "It was too dark in the room when I went back, and I fell."

Tanissell's expression was unpredictable, and he couldn't tell if he believed him. He just stood up and called up the medical robot that was helping other inhuman blood pressure measurement, took out the ointment from the box behind it specially used to store first aid supplies, squeezed some on his clean and slender fingers, and then went to Iraq Sen's cheeks were wiped. Seeing his focused expression, Ethan didn't even think of rejecting or wiping it himself, so he just sat obediently, staring at a pair of dazed green eyes through the lens.

However, another strong Alpha breath was approaching, and Tanissell's movements paused slightly.

Samuel had apparently sprayed a lot of Alpha disguise today, making Ethan's sensitive nose want to sneeze... He frowned and looked up at Samuel.

Samuel folded his arms and looked down at the priest, "You are so kind, Lord Priest."

Tanisel didn't look back, just smiled lightly, "You're too flattering me, it's just a favor." He said, and stood up slowly. Beautiful, tough muscles stretched with his movements. He turned to face Samuel, "Did you sleep well last night?"

The questioning meant something, and the anger in Samuel's eyes almost roared out. It would be good to burn the Alpha he had distrusted from the beginning to a pinch of ashes. He hates others touching his things, and although Ethan is not currently his thing, he is still his protector after all.

Both Ethan and this alien have secrets that he is most afraid to reveal. He probably shouldn't offend the blond man in front of him, but the other party openly did such ambiguous things to his people in front of so many inhumans, and obviously did not put him Keep an eye on it. This made him extremely angry.

These self-righteous Alphas always like to steal other people's things. It's the same on any planet.

Samuel snatched the ointment from Tanisel's hand, "You don't mind if you don't mind!"

"Perhaps." Tanisel didn't rob him, but said lightly when he passed by him, "But sometimes people should remember who owns the handle."

After he finished speaking, he even chuckled and walked to his sleeping compartment.

Samuel glared at the man's back, and when he turned to look at Ethan, there was a moment of frustration in his eyes.

He threw the ointment on Ethan and said in a low voice, "I don't care who you sleep with, but don't disgrace me in front of others." Then he left.

Ethan rolled his eyes, too lazy to get angry with him. These Omegas sometimes get angry and there is no way to do it, let's just look back at the unbearable days of how to coax Omega's first love boyfriend in college.

Before Ethan took off his glasses, he saw that the chief of the guard had also been escorted in. The tall soldier was tied up with five flowers, his mouth was gagged, and he was forcibly stuffed into the sleeping compartment, without even a chance to struggle. When Derek came forward, he would first set a sleep program for him, first put him in a coma, and then cool down his body.

Are they going to let the chief of guards go into deep sleep tied up? Then when he wakes up, won't he be so numb that his body will not be damaged... Ethan is very sympathetic, but he also knows that sympathy is the most unnecessary at this time. When everyone is asleep, anything can happen, and if the chief of the guard does something while they are asleep, they simply can't stop it. So the best thing to do is to make sure he goes to sleep first.

The next sleepers were the three Eves. Ethan watched the hood of the sleeping compartment carrying Tanisel slowly slide up, but felt a little sad in his heart.

When the curvature flight is over, it will be time for the Eves to part ways with the non-humans. After that, he might never see this strange priest again in his life.

Suddenly I heard Jarvan ask loudly, "Where's Scott?"

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, and they didn't seem to find the person he asked. The name Scott sounded familiar, but Ethan couldn't remember who it was.

After a long while, Samuel said normally, "Don't look for him, he's where he should be."

Such a sentence contains many deep meanings, one of which is that Samuel knew where he was.

Jarvan stood up immediately, "Where did you get him?!"

"Nothing, just locked in his own room." Samuel glanced at Derek, who obviously helped him.

Everyone was shocked. It seemed that Samuel was planning to let Scott enter the curvature flight in a sober way. Everyone knows how dangerous and terrifying it is to stay awake in curvature flight. It is said that many people tried situational flight many centuries ago, and saw terrible scenes in that extremely powerful magnetic field, and went crazy. Therefore, since ten centuries ago, the Earth Federation has strictly prohibited anyone from entering curvature flight while awake.

Jarvan clenched his fists tightly, turned around and walked towards the door of the sleeping hall. However, the door has been closed, the curvature flight mode has entered the countdown phase, and Diana has sealed the halls for safety. Jarvan hung his fist down the door in anger, of course it was of no use.

Samuel sneered, "Okay, don't you usually bother him? I'm here to help you solve a hindrance."

Jarvan turned around abruptly, suddenly strode up in front of Samuel, and deliberately got very close to him in a threatening gesture, "Are you going to touch me casually just for your pet?"

Ethan then remembered who this Scott was.

Isn't he the inhuman who almost marked him on the way? !

Facing the intimidation of the other party, Samuel was not afraid, and even showed a stern smile, "I said, he is my person. And I don't like others touching my things, not even looking."

He spoke so clearly that everyone in the room could hear him. A few people who had made fun of Ethan immediately felt a chill, and those who originally intended to plead for Scott swallowed their words.

Ethan felt that it was a bit exaggerated, although he didn't like that Scott, but let him fly into the curvature of the awake state... a bit too much, right

"Samuel..."

"Shut up," Samuel cut in coldly, his eyes fixed on Jarvan. The two tall men faced each other for a moment, like two fighting bulls, ready to fight at any moment.

Chen Zeng appeared between the two of them at this time, and said in a very comfortable baritone, "The time is up, if there is any problem, we will wait until we leave here. If you fight now, I am afraid you will accompany Scott. Sober flying."

Although the two men were furious, they also knew that what Chen Zeng said was right. Finally Jarvan spat on the ground in front of Samuel and turned away.

Ethan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this Samuel play had done enough. But just leave Scott out like this...

But another dark thought spread from the depths of his conscience: anyway, that man has almost no use except for a brain full of sex desires, and it is obviously impossible to cause any harm to non-human beings who are sleeping. And that bastard almost forcibly "marked" him, so the death of such an idiot might be beneficial to their escape.

Anyway, he didn't kill him, and he was so frightened by that person's hands that he would not plead for him.

Even if he asked, he wouldn't listen to Samuel at the moment.

So he took off his glasses and put them in the small storage box under the bed, then flattened his body and lay on the soft bedding. The nano glass cover is slowly sliding on. The cool air that can make people fall asleep quickly spread from the middle of the small hole in the baffle of his head, and he soon felt his eyelids get heavy, and he fell into a deep dream.

It just didn't occur to them that their deep sleep only lasted for less than five days, and then they were forcibly awakened.
