Ethan couldn't understand what the horned man said about the great wise man and the abyss man, but the moment he saw the ancient book, a shudder like an electric current passed through his body. His eyes widened slightly, fixed on the cover of the book, the horns seemed to be twisting and deforming, as if speaking to him through silent language.
While instinct made him crave access to the book, reason also told him that it was not a good thing.
He stared at the famous man and asked him, "What book is this?"
The Horned Man did not refuse to answer the question, holding the old manuscript in a certain awe, "It has no name, it is a Bible about the truth of the universe handed down from the earth in ancient times, in a long-lost way. Even now, we still don’t understand 80 percent of what it means, but any attempt to comprehend the book’s content, or even the viewing itself, often plunges the untrained and protected mind into eternity chaos and madness."
"Eternity is about to end, the sleeping king is about to wake up..." Ethan murmured, suddenly remembering where he had seen this book.
It was in the nightmare he couldn't get rid of, that black man once held this book and said cursed prophecies to him over and over again.
The famous character also showed an unexpected expression when he heard his whisper, "Have you heard of this book?"
Ethan suddenly laughed, and the laughter collided with ripples of echoes in the empty room, which seemed a little hollow and eerie. He raised his green eyes and looked deeply into the eyes of the horned man. Even though his hands were bound, a chilling aura emanated from the emaciated human in front of him, and the other servants behind the healer. She took a few steps back timidly.
Ethan didn't know why he was laughing. At this moment, he was clearly trapped, but he felt that the horned man in front of him was a little pitiful.
That is the pitiful face of ignorance pushed into the abyss by a mysterious and powerful destiny.
"If I were you, I probably wouldn't show me this book." Ethan stopped smiling and said.
*********
At the same time, Tanisel strode through the crowd, the third eye on his forehead slightly opened, and the horns who were supposed to block him couldn't help but move away, and it wasn't until he passed a dozen steps that he remembered that he should rush Go up and stop him. However, once he stepped into the range of ten steps, he suddenly hesitated. Tanisel didn't even look at the people around him. There seemed to be a layer of invisible bubbles around him, and no one could enter within ten steps of him. He went on a rampage like this and entered the chief's lair.
At that time, the chief was discussing something with his son and several other elders who belonged to his tribe. Taniser rushed in, and everyone stood up in shock and took up arms.
But Tanisel just stared at them coldly, "If you still hope that the Great Wise Man will come one day, let Ethan Eldridge go now."
All the corners of the scene were taken aback by his words.
Although the beliefs of Eves have something in common with the beliefs of the Horned people, after all, most Eves believe in the Sequence God, and they did not expect to say such words from the mouth of an Eve priest. The chief's son still pointed his gun at him, "What do you mean!"
"I mean you idiots! If you believe that the wise man is omnipotent, then why hasn't he come down to our pathetic, boring little universe? You really think all he needs is a thousand earthlings Blood?!" Tanisel's mouth curled slightly, and the politeness he had performed before was gone, and his smile was a bit evil and mocking, "Don't say a thousand, even the life of the entire planet is Being sacrificed means nothing to the wise man!"
"What do you know! That's recorded in the holy book!" An elder retorted angrily, and the other elders also agreed, and they were furious because of the priest's arrogant remarks.
"Holy book, holy book, the question is how much do you understand? If you only understand a little bit, it's like trying to guess God's will. Are you not afraid of causing real disaster?!" Tanisel asked loudly.
The elders were speechless for a while, because the inability to read the mysterious ancient book was indeed a pain for them all along.
"Listen, at present this universe is still dominated by the Sequence God, which is what you call the abyss. Even if their grasp of this place has begun to decline, they are still powerful enough to destroy any great wise man who tries to enter this universe. And the human who came with me is probably the only hope." Ethan said, raised the scepter in his hand, and a beam of light shot out from the blue crystal in the scepter, drowning all the horns in the scene. In the forged fantasy.
He originally didn't want any outsiders to see the things he was about to show, but now, in order to release him and Ethan with the cooperation of the other party, he had no choice but to do so first.
*********
The healer was just about to open the book in his hand when suddenly his body froze and fell softly.
Not only him, but the waiters behind him also fell straight down. Only then did Ethan realize that the horned soldiers guarding outside the gate had also been brought down.
The female Beta was wearing a close-fitting black battle uniform, outlining a delicate body curve, and gave him a wink. At the same time, another male Alpha companion from the constellation Ophiuchus also walked quickly from the other direction, holding a sedative gun in his hand, "I've done it here too. Where's Sean?"
Just as he was talking, a figure fell down from a high rock wall, and the moment he landed, he raised the laser gun and accurately blew the chains that trapped Ethan's wrist. The man, also dressed in black, stood up slowly, looking at Ethan with a pair of violet eyes under his slightly longer hair.
Ethan pursed his lips tightly and frowned.
"why you."
Before Roland could answer, the female Beta had already come to his side and neatly burned the iron ring on Ethan's feet, "There's not much time, we have to go now."
Of course Ethan didn't want to follow the Ophiuchus, and now he didn't trust anyone except Tanisel. But before he could open his mouth to refuse, Roland came up with a knife to his carotid artery. The blood supply to the brain was suddenly cut off, and Ethan fell into a coma instantly. Roland picked up the man and disappeared into the darkness along with his two other companions.
*********
The spiritual connection between Ethan and Ethan was suddenly shaken, and Tanisel immediately felt the sensation. His expression changed, "Damn it! Someone robbed the prison!"
The glorious phantoms that were still scattered all over the room suddenly dissipated, and before the people in the corners came back to their senses, the priest had already rushed out the door.
The three agents from the Ophiuchus Alliance had disappeared, and at the same time all the guards guarding the last cave were either brought down with anesthesia needles or knocked unconscious. According to the awakened guards, the man who brought them down appeared suddenly, as if invisible. He lost consciousness without even seeing what the other party was doing.
It seems to be some kind of stealth technology secretly developed by the Ophiuchus Alliance.
But what angered the entire tribe the most was that it wasn't just Ethan who was kidnapped, but the holy book they worshipped like a god.
*********
Ethan was only in a coma for a short period of time. When he woke up, he found himself inside a small aircraft, flying low and swiftly passing through the endless blue forest, deftly avoiding the intertwining and rolling mountains. He hurriedly sat up, and Roland in the front row turned around when he made a noise.
Ethan felt the pain in his temples jumping, and glared at Roland with the most angry expression he could make, "Where are you taking me!"
"Save you and leave." The female Beta next to Roland answered, "Do you like to be a prisoner of those savages? Maybe they will sacrifice you."
Ethan ignored her and just stared at Roland, "What information do you want from me? Is it worth fighting with the horned man?"
Roland also looked at him quietly, his blue eyes dimmed in the twilight, "... Can't I just want to repay the hurt I caused you in the past?"
"Ha!" Ethan laughed sarcastically, "Of course you won't tell me the truth so easily. But I'll tell you in advance, if you want to know about Project Zero, I'm just going to be the test subject. Yes, but the blood test failed, so I don't know anything."
Roland and the female Beta looked at each other and said to him with a hesitant expression, "You rest well. We won't hurt you."
Ethan didn't speak, but his whole body was tense. He has understood Roland now, and he knows that things must not be so simple.
He imprinted everything he saw in his mind, hoping that Tanithel could sense his position. It didn't take long for him to perceive a thought in his mind: I will come to you.
He was a little relieved now, but in the next moment, a thought came to his mind, which made his heart that he just let go of hang up again.
I heard Tanissell say before that the Ophiuchus Alliance may know the important role that the Egg of the Prologue can play in the creation of antimatter. So, could he be a bait
A bait to trade with Tanethel for the eggs of the Prophets
He tried to pass the idea to Tanisel, but he never heard back. He was anxious, looking at the back of Roland's head in front of him, thinking about how likely he would be to defeat the two best agents of Ophiuchus and control the male Alpha who was driving the aircraft at the front if he attacked from behind
… well it seems this method is not feasible.
Then the only way to escape is to take the opportunity.
Their aircraft landed at the foot of a snowy mountain about 300 kilometers away from the Jiaoren's secret stronghold. All the plants here seemed to be made of ice sculptures and blood, reflecting a crystal and dreamlike streamer in the dark night. In the sky, there are clouds hanging down gently like a veil, shaking and changing slowly like the aurora. They parked the craft on a frozen lake, where it is said to be waiting for the spacecraft to come to pick it up.
Ethan wrapped his horned robe tightly, watched Roland open the hatch for him, and then silently stepped on the thick ice and snow on the lake. Their aircraft shells automatically changed color, turning into the same color as the surrounding snow, suddenly appearing to be non-existent.
"Sean, what the hell did you choose, it's freezing to death!" the male Alpha complained loudly, and the Ophiuchus unique Earthy accent sounded casual and funny.
Ethan walked silently between Roland and the female Beta, looking at the back of the tall and straight man in front of him, a faint bitterness felt in his heart.
He didn't know until now that his real name was Sean.
But Ethan still thinks the name Roland is more suitable for him...
The three agents each carried a large box removed from the aircraft and quickly found a suitable camp in the forest that was convenient for cover. They opened the box, and the three mini tents quickly and automatically unfolded. The surface, like the hair of a horned man, could reflect the colors of the surrounding environment, and suddenly it seemed almost indistinguishable. While the three of them were busy building a small fire with warm stones, Ethan was busy imprinting the surrounding scenery, especially the towering snow-capped mountain in front of him, so that Tanisel would know about him. s position. He tried again to warn Tanisel to be careful, and finally received a very soothing and soothing thought.
Fortunately, Roland and the others didn't know the soul-binding relationship between Tanisel and him. No matter where he went, Tanisel would definitely find him.
At this moment, someone suddenly put a thick coat on his shoulders. Ethan could smell the other person's scent without turning his head. He was too familiar with the smell, and after a year, it was still as clear as yesterday.
"Don't catch a cold." Roland's gentle voice was as intoxicating as wine.
But Ethan already knew that the wine was poisonous.
He glanced at Roland coldly and didn't refuse, just walked right past him and got into a tent.
He didn't eat with the three Ophiuchus people, but a small gap was opened in the tent, and he could vaguely see the three people joking outside.
Ethan saw the female Beta named "Angela" leaning over and kissed Roland playfully on the cheek. He thought he would be very sad, but his heart was just silent and numb.
He used to hate this person so much, and imagined all the terrible things he would do when he saw him again, and all the cruel things he said that could hurt the other person even in the slightest. But now, he can't say a word.
He realized he had never met Roland, he didn't even know his real full name, or even if he had a boyfriend or was married. I don't know what his parents do, or if he has pets at home.
Since this man, he has not dared to say the word love again. For example, until now, they have been bound to Taniser's soul, and they have never mentioned half of the words related to love.
He didn't even dare to say what kind of relationship he had with Tanisel, because he never dared to forget what Tanisel wanted him to remember: they were purely exploitative. Even though he now trusts the priest wholeheartedly, and even falls in love with the priest, he still has a mental preparation that he might be betrayed or betrayed. If one day his importance to Tanithel is gone, he may be lost altogether.
He felt this was acceptable, as long as he could make himself valuable to the priest. The so-called unconditional and unconditional love, even his father can't give, how can he ask others
Especially... He's turned into a monster now, and he doesn't know how long he can live in this world... He just wants to last a little longer.
He wrapped his clothes tightly, and suddenly felt so lonely in this cold and dark world.
The tent curtain was lifted, and Roland got in, holding a small bowl of hot stewed spicy meat sauce. Ethan, who had not eaten any serious food for a year, immediately felt a lot of saliva secreted from his mouth, but he didn't want to lose face in front of Roland, so he still maintained his indifference, but secretly swallowed saliva.
"Eat. You look a little too thin." Roland put the small bowl in front of him.
Ethan was not polite, picked up the bowl and smelled it, and confirmed that he didn't smell any strange smell, then grabbed the spoon and put the meat sauce into his mouth. He ate silently, and Roland watched him silently beside him, with a familiar and charming smile on the corner of his mouth.
"I should have taken you away then." Roland said suddenly.
Ethan's hand holding the spoon paused, then pretended he didn't hear anything, and continued to concentrate on eating.
"sorry."
Ethan sighed and put the bowl down, "You can't let me have a good meal, can you?"
"This year, I sometimes think of you." Roland lowered his head and looked at his hand, "Although it is my job to be close to you, and although I have used the same method to deceive others, I also know that regret is meaningless. But at this time, I found out that I am still a human being after all, and I still feel guilty."
"If you feel guilty, let me go."
"I can't, but I can take you to Ophiuchus and you'll be free. I'll take good care of you."
Ethan rolled his eyes, sneered, and continued to pick up the bowl to eat.
"You don't want to go?"
"… "
"Is it because of that priest?"
"… "
"That priest's name is Tanethel, right? You believe him?"
"… "
"Do you know that the Sanctuary of the Red Moon where he is located has always been closely related to interstellar pirates? And there are rumors that they are conducting secret and dangerous human experiments in private. Some believers who volunteered to participate in the experiments later went crazy or disappeared inexplicably. . But because the Red Moon Temple is very powerful, it was suppressed. Are you sure it is safe to be with him?"
"Ha!" Ethan spoke suddenly, facing Roland with a weird sneer, "Sure enough, Tanisel is your goal, right?"
Roland didn't hide it, and asked Ethan bluntly: "It wasn't originally, but it is now. Why does he value you so much? As far as I know, you didn't know each other before you entered the forbidden city. He and you were on a redemption mission. I just met, but in less than a year he chased you back and forth across the entire Earth Alliance star field. Don't you think that's weird?"
He didn't say it, but Ethan knew the implicit meaning in his heart: It can't be because he likes you.
There was a hint of helplessness in Ethan's sneer, and he asked, "Yeah, why? I want to know too."
