After Ethan woke up, the first thing he smelled was a choking bloody smell. His eyes gradually focused, and the first thing he saw was a patch of blue, with deep and shallow overlapping, covering everything in his sight. Then, he saw corpses scattered everywhere.
At first he couldn't see the human body at all, until he noticed a mixture of hairs stained with blue liquid and some hands sticking out of the corpse. Overwhelming, the limbs belonging to the horned people were soaked in blue blood, attracting many strange birds with red feathers, pecking at the eyes that could not rest in their sockets.
There was a grunt in Ethan's throat, a whimper that he didn't even hear himself. He saw that there was a lot of red blood mixed in the blue everywhere. Those human limbs scattered on the ground, their heads were cut in half, and they were amputated by lazy waists. It seems that they are still trying to crawl into the distance. upper body. Everything, in sight, is death.
There was a throbbing pain in the back of the neck, and there was a strange touch floating in the air. What a strange feeling... The body seems to be stretched out... Why can he see a lot of strange colors, completely incomprehensible colors are all over the night sky, why can he see the forest behind him, why can he see from a height that has already exceeded his height Overlooking the entire empty field
The shelf beside him was empty, and the chains seemed to be melted by some force.
What about the rest? What about Samuel
what is the problem? Is this hell? How come so many people died
The visual impact made him lean over and vomit, but when he saw the filth he vomited, he couldn't stop spitting out more, coughing in a daze, and occasionally hissing in horror in his throat.
There was a lot of flesh and blood in the filth, and he saw a purple eyeball in it.
Something was moving on the back of his neck, he turned his head slightly, and the blood all over his body froze.
It was an extremely ugly black tentacle, with more small tentacles growing at the end, dripping translucent mucus constantly. The slime dripped onto his still-chained left hand, the chains hissing, ominous blue smoke, and quickly dissolving. But his skin didn't react to the mucus, but the sticky touch like saliva made him shudder.
Soon his left hand was freed, and his first thing was to reach for the back of his neck.
Then he let out an almost inhuman scream.
His shirt was already shattered, starting from the back of the neck and spreading to the back of the shoulders and neck, numerous cool, slippery but hard tentacles crowded and grew out of it, and it didn't look like the number and volume his body could bear. Every time he touches a tentacle, he can feel it, and he even instinctively knows how to stretch and wave those suddenly extra limbs. The eyes at the ends of those limbs allow him to see a wide field of vision that humans can't see at all. The combined terrifying giant mouth can devour and digest the human body that his body could not have swallowed.
Those tentacles are part of his body.
Ethan kept screaming, as if he couldn't do anything else but scream.
Finally, he stopped and looked around at a loss. He inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly, telling himself: Calm down, calm down, calm down.
He used acid to corrode the chains of his hands and feet in the same way, but once he lost the support, he found that his body could not support so many heavy tentacles behind him. He was almost crushed to the ground on the altar, his sore limbs warmed up a little in the numbness, and it took a long time before he had the strength to stand up a little bit. He felt like he was carrying a huge boulder on his back, and he had to use all his strength to drag so many limbs behind him down the steps little by little. His feet had been dyed red, red, blue and blue, and the thick fishy smell made him unable to breathe. He labored to carve a path through the countless piles of corpses, and half walked and half crawled out of the hell.
"Samuel! Samuel!" he cried, trembling through the corpse for familiar faces. But he didn't find it, nor did he find Derek, Jarvan and others.
There are not a single horned person alive now.
Did he kill everyone
Ethan was dizzy and confused, unable to distinguish between reality and dreams. He remembered nothing, and his mind was terribly blank, like the hollow eye sockets of a dead man.
If you can't conquer fear, embrace it...
Tanithel's words suddenly came to his mind, and a severe headache accompanied by dizziness nearly made him fall to the ground. Some sporadic sensory memory fragments are like chaotic movie clips, tearing internal organs, sucking bone marrow, screaming as beautiful as nature, endless power, body as if stretched to the sky, people trembling and kneeling in front of him...
His knees went weak and he fell to his knees... What had he become
The cold night wind from the alien planet blew against his thin body, causing him to shiver. Boundless loneliness bound this bewildered soul like a heavy yoke. His eyes were dry, his body was numb, and he was overwhelmed by the innumerable new limbs behind him. For a moment, he thought maybe it would be better to die.
But seeing the pieces of flesh on the ground who couldn't tell their true colors, I felt that death was too disgusting.
The headache gradually eased, and the feeling of wanting to vomit finally subsided. He gradually calmed down and decided to go to the cave where they were imprisoned to see if he could find Samuel and the others. He tried to control the tentacles behind him, but to no avail. In the end, he had to drag the black and constantly twisting things behind him and slowly move towards the cave.
Just as he finally approached the entrance to the cave where the torches were lit, a figure rushed out.
It's Samuel.
Ethan breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to raise his smile, but the smile froze halfway. Because Samuel's first reaction was not joy, but he immediately took the Ophiuchus laser gun used by the Horned people that he had found somewhere and aimed it at him. Those dark eyes showed no longer familiar trust, but boundless fear.
Ethan suddenly realized what he looked like in his eyes. He took a timid step back and called out, "Samuel? It's me..."
Samuel still stared at him nervously and terrified, his hand holding the gun trying to stabilize, but still shaking slightly up and down, "You...what the hell are you..."
At this time, another person rushed over, it was Tai Feng. Taifeng, a former colleague and friend who once held him like a life-saving straw, screamed when he saw him, and immediately hid behind Samuel, followed by Jarvan and Derek. The moment Derek saw him, he shot him without hesitation.
The laser beam penetrated Ethan's body instantly, and he didn't even feel the pain. He lowered his head in a daze, and saw a small hole in his chest, and the black blood was sticky and pulled down a thin thread.
Immediately afterwards, the flesh and blood scorched by the laser began to grow and heal rapidly. In the end, except for a black bloodstain on his chest, not even a scar could be seen.
"Monster..." Jarvan whispered, taking a purple dagger from his waist that looked like a priest used, "Fight you!"
The unfamiliar and terrifying eyes of Samuel and Taifeng made Ethan fall into an ice cave, especially Samuel, who was probably the only friend Ethan trusted in the forbidden city.
In order to prove that he is not a monster, Ethan hurried back, but almost tripped over his tentacles. He hurriedly raised his hands in an innocuous gesture, "Samuel! It's me! I'm Ethan! Ethan who lives with you!"
Ethan's pleading call softened Samuel's guarded gaze. In front of this... the creature with terrifying tentacles on the back of its neck, indeed has the body and face of Ethan. Although there are winding black lines on both sides of his cheeks, although the shape of his eyes and pupils is a little different from before, although he has no glasses, his shirt is torn, and his whole body is covered with those kinds of black lines, looking like a certain A raw beast with a certain dark beauty...
But his voice really belonged to Ethan, and his always cautious and timid eyes also belonged to Ethan. Obviously the most harmless soul, but forcibly blended with the nightmarish tentacles behind it.
Samuel saw the fear and helplessness in Ethan's eyes, and he suddenly realized that Ethan had returned.
The unforgettable god of slaughter an hour ago wasn't his Ethan, just a monster temporarily occupying his body.
Samuel lowered his muzzle slightly and took a tentative step forward, but was caught by Tai Feng. Samuel asked, "Ethan? Is it really you?"
Ethan nodded desperately, "I don't know what happened! What the hell is going on?" He reached out and touched the limbs growing from flesh and blood on the back of his neck, "What are these?"
"You don't remember anything?" Samuel stared at him suspiciously, while everyone else looked incredulous. Jarvan said by the side, "Don't be fooled! After returning from the second dimension, some people have mutated, Adam is an example. He must have mutated too! He was infected by the second law of the universe..." He didn't say anything yet. After that, a black tentacle suddenly swung into the air, wrapped around Jarvan's neck, and lifted the strong inhuman. I saw that his face quickly turned purple because of the lack of blood flow, and he kept making some kind of gurgling noise because of the lack of oxygen, and his feet kept kicking. The knife in his hand scratched the tentacles, but the powerful wrists seemed to feel no pain, but tightened more and more.
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air and turned to look at Ethan, only to see that Beta's pitiful face was now burning with some kind of cold anger, and the green eyes were shining in the silent night.
"I didn't offend you, why do you always force me?" Ethan's voice was low, as if squeezed from the bottom of his throat, "In the second universe, you are just like them, you want me to die, it is better for you Die first!"
"Ethan! Stop!" Samuel shouted loudly and rushed towards him, but was slammed away by Ethan's conditioned reflex with a tentacle, and his body hit the stone wall heavily. Samuel's scream made Ethan suddenly sober, and he immediately released the tentacles that were holding Jarvan, as if he couldn't believe what he had just done.
The sudden and cold anger that had been easily suppressed in the past was now completely dominating his actions. He nearly killed Jarvan.
Just like he killed the three thousand horns and a dozen inhumans outside...
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." Ethan wanted to apologize, but saw that the eyes of the four were looking at a dangerous and unstable beast. Taifeng helped Samuel, who had been hit with blood on the head, and said to Ethan, "Ethan... if you're still Ethan, let us die?"
Derek pointed the laser gun carefully at his head, and said in a somewhat cautious tone, "We just want to get out of here, let's go, okay? We swear we'll never talk to anyone about you."
Ethan shook his head, shaking his head vigorously. He heard what they were saying and reached out to Samuel, "Don't... don't leave me..."
He couldn't stay on this forever dark planet by himself.
But Samuel stared at him with a sad look, the hesitation in his eyes gradually being replaced by a hint of guilt.
At this time, the roar of the aircraft came from the sky, and silver-gray smooth lines hovered over the bloody killing field. It was an aircraft of the Earth Alliance, most likely to search and rescue or bomb the secret stronghold of those Horned people. This is a good opportunity for Samuel and others to escape from this dense forest. Derek and Jarvan tried tentatively to get around Ethan, the two of them cautiously, as if he was a bomb that could explode at any moment.
Ethan didn't stop them, he just whispered to Samuel, "Don't leave me here alone..."
But Samuel finally lowered his eyes, pushed Tai Feng away, and walked slowly to him.
"Ethan, you can't go back." Samuel's lips pursed tightly, a deep sadness running deep in his eyes. "They'll kill you."
Ethan knew that Samuel was telling the truth, and once the Earth Alliance army saw a monster like him, they would definitely fire at him immediately. While laser guns don't seem to be able to damage him so far, who knows what other weapons they'll use
Even if he doesn't die, he will be sent to those forgotten laboratories on Mars, where he will be cut open and decomposed little by little, right
But what should he do? To live forever as a monster in this forest
Looking at Ethan kneeling on the ground, with blank and empty eyes, watching the terrifying tentacles behind him on the ground. They don't look as long as they used to be on the altar, but they're still pretty disgusting. The man who used to be restrained and gentle, who had protected and cared for him when he was most vulnerable, has now become something similar to the monster on the red earth. Samuel felt his heart aches. He thought he was fighting with After that person is completely over, he will never have this distressed feeling again.
"I'll find a way to find someone to rescue you," Samuel whispered in his ear. "But for now, hide yourself from anyone seeing you."
