What is the highest level of pain in the world
Some people say that the flesh was burned by fire, some people said that it was childbirth, and some people said that it was bitten by a fierce beast. But compared to what Ethan felt at the moment, I'm afraid it won't be more painful. He felt as if sulfuric acid had been injected into his body, the blood vessels and nerves were completely dissolved, and the muscles and bones were stripped away. The problem was that it wasn't just pain, it was accompanied by an unbearable itching sensation, and he felt in a trance that he was being dissolved, being torn into small pieces. Thousands of cuts are nothing but the same.
It wasn't all the pain, though, for Tanithel had helped him share it, as always. This was the first time he had heard such a piercing scream from the priest. His beautiful face was twisted and twitched due to the extreme pain, and his body was also tensed and curled up due to the violent contraction of the muscles. If you look closely, you will see some black lines similar to Ethan's body quickly passing over his fair skin and quickly disappearing.
Ethan felt in a trance that the back of his neck was torn, and something was pushing hard into his wound. An invisible force squeezed him from all directions, crushing his bones and making him unable to breathe. The entwined tentacles behind him were shrinking a little bit, shrinking back into his body, his voice was hoarse, his breathing was fast and irregular, and every muscle was tense and almost broken. This severe pain made him dizzy, and finally completely lost consciousness.
He and the priest lost consciousness almost at the same time.
After about ten minutes, Ethan woke up first. His vision was a little blurry, and it was pitch black all around, only a small dim blue light swirled around a dormant body not far away.
Ethan looked down at his hands. He could no longer see the black lines that had spread on the backs of his hands. He was short of breath and quickly reached out to touch the back of his neck.
An undulating scar to the touch, but without those sickening extra limbs.
There was an ecstatic whimper in his throat, and tears streamed down his dirty, but no longer black, thin cheeks. He had never felt so happy, as if he had regained his life.
Wiping away the tears that kept pouring out with his hands, he crawled towards the human figure not far away with his hands and feet on the ground. The priest was lying on the blood-stained ground, his golden hair was blackened, covering his graceful profile face. Ethan brushed his hair lightly, filled with guilt and emotion. Tanithel saved him again, and helped him bear such terrible pain. There is no one else in the world who treats him as well as he does.
He is his light, the only light in the darkness.
He gently stroked the priest's cheek, then reached out and shook the priest's shoulder, "Tanither? Tanither?"
The priest let out a low murmur, frowning slightly, as if he was unhappy because he was forcibly pulled out of the darkness. His long golden eyelashes fluttered a few times and slowly opened.
Ethan exhaled in relief, "Are you okay?"
Tanisel's body was sore, as if it had been cracked by a car and put back together again. He rubbed his unharmed neck and sat up, as if he couldn't remember where he was for a moment. He looked around, his eyes finally falling on Ethan's face.
"Reagent..." He stretched out his hand and touched the finely intertwined scar on the back of Ethan's neck, "Success?"
Ethan nodded vigorously and suddenly hugged Tanisel.
The priest was stunned, and after a while, he slowly raised his hand and hugged Ethan's body, which seemed to have lost a lot of weight. It seems that the mutation has consumed a lot of energy. Although he has eaten a lot of horned people, the energy replenishment is far from enough, especially in the last few days, he has consumed almost no fresh life except eating carrion. The power of the entropy god is really not something that anyone's body can withstand.
Ethan breathed greedily the bitter sandalwood scent on Tanisel's body, and clenched his hands tightly on the clothes on his back, unwilling to let go, for fear that if he let go, he would find out that everything was just Nanke's dream.
"How did you find me? Didn't you say that our soul binding can't help you pinpoint it?" Ethan closed his eyes and buried his head on the side of the priest's neck.
"After I came to this planet, I first found Samuel who was rescued. He told me that you were in this forest. As long as I get here, I can perceive your specific location."
Ethan was silent for a moment, then said in a dull voice, "I'm sorry..."
"Sorry for what?" asked a little confused.
"I screwed up. I got you in the way. Did you sneak to Faun?" He understood that in the Earth Alliance, all foreigners would only be granted passes for certain areas, and it was obviously impossible for Tanisel Has a Pass for Faun.
Taniser shrugged indifferently, "It's nothing, if you are caught, you will be sent back to Eve at most."
"But then, I'll never see you again."
Tanisel gently separated the two of them, lowered his head and looked at Ethan with a slight smile, "If I choose you, I will definitely find a way to come to you, no matter where you are. You run away. Don't open mine."
Ethan looked at Tanisel's enchanting ethereal eyes, all kinds of emotions were surging, and he was about to say the words that would be lost if he spoke.
But he finally controlled himself.
He slowly let go of the hand holding Tanisel's waist, and suddenly realized how dirty he was. He wrapped his hands around his cold upper body and asked, "What should I do next?"
"elopement."
"what?"
"Samuel reported to the top that you died with the others and were eaten by worms that came out of the ground. I see that your collar is also missing, so you can run away with me now," Tanisee said. Er dropped a bomb on Ethan in a relaxed tone and kissed his forehead lightly, "As long as you leave the Earth Alliance, you will no longer be inhuman."
No longer inhuman.
Ethan knew he should be happy, but all he had in his mind was blankness.
Why isn't it real at all
"My spaceship is parked on the edge of the forest, and there is still a long way to go. We have to be careful, and we must not let the people of the Earth Alliance find you." Tanisel stood up and pulled Ethan up, "Come on. , there is still a lot to do.”
The two of them hurriedly left the stench of the cave, but the choking smell outside the cave was even worse than in the cave, and it could almost turn into a smoky smoke to smother people. The corpses everywhere were rotten and dilapidated, and the white flowers of maggots wriggled between the blackened muscles.
Ethan looked at this scene that was more disgusting and cruel than any horror movie, and spit it out.
Such a scene turned out to be caused by him.
Is it better to die for such a terrifying self
Tanissell stroked his back, suddenly tore off a piece of fabric from the hem, and tied it around Ethan's eyes to block his vision.
"Don't think about anything, try to hold your breath and just follow me."
He held Ethan's hand, half opened the eyes on his forehead, and guided Ethan to temporarily block his sense of smell with his mental power. Ethan was pulled by the priest and stumbled along. Occasionally, he would guess something very soft and sticky, and he dared not imagine what it was. In his consciousness, the blue lake and the huge red old wood appeared again, and the warm wind carried the reassuring smell of sandalwood. He began to understand that this fantasy world was built for him by Tanethel, where he could hide whenever he was in conscious unbearable pain, so as to avoid total madness.
Tanithel undid the cloth from his head, and a shallow stream appeared before him. Wandering down the melting snow from the mountains, it quickly flows through the riverbed paved with five-colored pebbles with a hint of blue, and some fungi with glowing spots protrude from the sides to the middle, as quiet and gentle as night lights. Here, Ethan took off his dirty trousers, soaked his body in the cold water, and scrubbed the dirt and blood that had solidified for many days. He tried his best not to think about what was washed away by the stream, he just wanted to wash himself clean and what he had done, as if once he washed it, he could start over.
Since there was no change of clothes, but Ethan really didn't want to wear those dirty military trousers, he put on Tanisel's robe, wrapped his naked body tightly, and then Tanisel put Isain A powder produced by Fu sprinkled on the wood, making a fire and letting him dry the trousers he had just washed in the stream. Tanissell gave Ethan some of the compressed beef jerky he carried with him, and the two ate quietly in the firelight.
"When I was a kid, I went camping with my classmates. I tried putting marshmallows on wooden sticks and roasting them on the fire. The outer layer of the marshmallows was roasted to become charred and brittle, and the melted candy inside filled the air when I bit it. In the mouth, it is really nostalgic." The fireworks jumped in Ethan's green eyes, looking a little charming.
"Marshmallow?" Tanisel looked blank, apparently not knowing what it was.
Seeing his rare blank expression, Ethan laughed lowly, "It's a traditional dessert on Earth, usually in the shape of a white cylinder, soft and elastic when squeezed. You've been on Earth for so long, and you haven't eaten it. ?"
Tanissell shook his head, "There are only those kinds of desserts at the Mars base. I have eaten them all, and I have never eaten the cotton you mentioned."
"It's a marshmallow." Ethan corrected his pronunciation solemnly, then laughed, "I'll bake it for you when I get a chance."
"Okay, I'll eat you if it doesn't taste good. I suspect you're more delicious, especially when it's tied up."
"...Don't always say such non-offline words all of a sudden!" Ethan stretched his leg and kicked Tanisel's knee.
Lying by the fire at night, Ethan was tightly wrapped in Tanisel's robes and locked in a ball. The icy air of Mu Shenxing made him shiver until another warm embrace hugged him from behind.
The two bodies were close to each other, and it was not so cold.
Murus has three moons, one surprisingly large, one like the moon on Earth, and one so small that it resembles a relatively large star. Three satellites face each other in the starry night sky. Ethan looked at them and asked faintly, "How long can I last?"
Taniser, who was behind him, answered after a while, "I don't know either. The mutation has been successful, and even the triple dose of the Sequence God's Egg Solution may not be able to remain stable forever."
"...If one day I can't change back, can you kill me?"
"… Maybe… "
"If I really lose my mind, like last time..." Ethan turned over and faced Tanisel, as if he had made up his mind, "kill me."
Tanissell frowned, neither agreeing nor objecting, but just reached out and hugged him tightly.
They slept for about four hours, then buried the traces of the bonfire while it was early in the day and continued on their way. However, when they finally came to a clearing on the edge of the woodland where Taniser had parked the spacecraft, they found a few horned men standing near the plane, looking around.
Tanissell scolded lowly, turned around with Ethan and wanted to slip away. However, he quickly sensed that horned people were approaching in every direction.
Apparently, the Horned Man was too familiar with this forest, and any slight changes could not escape their slender eyes. Before, they had a safe journey, but the Horned Man was just waiting for them to fall into the trap.
There was no other way, Taniser had to sacrifice the ten thousand breath ball, make it change into the shape of a scepter, stand up straight, and make a dignified and sacred posture - the standard expression of priests he is best at.
Ethan was also calm to the point of numbness. Although there is some unwillingness to see the race that he slaughtered.
A tall heroine, Alpha, held a gun and stared at them with a suspicious look, "Why did an Eve come to Faun?"
"I'm Tanisel, the white priest of the Red Moon Temple of Eve. I came here because I heard about the 'great wise man' believed by the Horned Man, and I really want to learn more about him." Tanisel replied politely.
"Eves are rarely seen on this planet." The female Alpha seemed to be very curious about Tanisel, tilted her head slightly and looked at him carefully, and then turned her eyes to Ethan after a while, "What about him? Your servant ?"
Without waiting for Tanisel to answer, Ethan nodded and lowered his eyebrows.
"How does your servant wear your clothes?" The heroine was still suspicious.
"He fell into the quagmire before, and his clothes were dirty, so I lent him mine. Is there any problem?" Tanisel smiled kindly at her, and the bright eyebrows made the female Alpha horned a bit dazzled. "Sorry, the woods have not been peaceful recently. We need to be extra careful not to provoke the wise man any more." There was a fleeting fear in her eyes, and Ethan wondered if they had been to the sacrificial place where he was bloodbathed. .
The horned woman hesitated, "I have to take you back and let the chief decide what to do with you."
So the two accidentally fell into the hands of the corner man again. Fortunately, Taniser is obviously an Eve, otherwise they might have been caught again and sent to sacrifice. The Horned Man doesn't seem to have much hostility towards the priests, but it's obviously a lot more hostile towards Ethan. For example, the male protagonist with a gun in the back would jab him in the back from time to time with a gun, and use an unnecessary force to signal him to hurry up.
Then they saw the horned village hidden in the mountains.
It is the stronghold of the rebels and the refuge of the escapees. In the middle of the rolling hills of the two mountains, under the shade of thousands of blue trees, many unique oval houses are located on the ground or suspended among the branches of tall trees. Horned people like to blend in with the surrounding environment, and it is difficult to distinguish buildings that are shaded by plants of different heights if they are flying from above.
Perhaps this is why the Earth Army has not been able to find these Horned Rebel strongholds.
Obviously, these horned rebels were indeed funded by the Ophiuchus Alliance. The armor on their bodies and the weapons in their hands were obviously not made in the local style, and they seemed a bit too avant-garde and out of tune with the surrounding environment. They even saw some mountain armored vehicles, the ones that really had wheels, and of course some transport vehicles.
Ethan followed Tanisel, and was escorted by these horned rebels across the complete avenue. There were many little horned people who were probably underage and stared at them with large pairs of curious eyes. The horners who were weaving at the door and the horners who hurried past carrying hunting tools also cast a glance of curiosity or disgust at them from time to time. It seems that despite the continuous war, at least the people here are still performing their duties.
Suddenly, Ethan's footsteps stopped, and his heart skipped a beat.
He saw a human.
A human he never imagined.
