Ahn'Qiraj's egg of the goddess of prelude still stood firmly in her palm, but her expression showed a strangeness in a subtle way. It was as if suddenly a mask had been buckled on the original vivid and charming face. However, there was no pain in the frozen mask, instead it seemed a little serene, like a mask worn on a dead body in a mausoleum.
"Ahn'Qiraj?" Roland asked nervously. Benji, who was close to her, stepped forward to touch her, but was stopped by the priest suddenly reaching out.
"Don't move, or I don't know what's going to happen." Tanisel said solemnly.
Benji was anxious and grabbed Tanisel by the collar, "What have you done to her!"
"I didn't do anything, I just gave her the egg of the Sequence God as she said." Although Tanisel was restrained, he was not nervous, and there was a smirk on the corner of his mouth.
Roland took a few steps forward and looked at Ahn'Qiraj with concern, "Ann, can you hear me? What's wrong with you?"
She still maintained the posture that she had just received the egg of the Sequence God, and the whole person seemed to be suddenly frozen in time. Her lips moved suddenly, and she said in an almost inaudible gnat voice, "Save... me..."
As soon as the voice fell, a cloud of smoke suddenly rose from the palm of her hand that was in contact with the egg of the Sequence God, and the lingering eyes wrapped around her fingertips seemed unwilling to leave. Immediately afterwards, her skin darkened rapidly from the palm of her hand, and began to slowly spread towards her fingertips and arms.
Even though there was no fire, her skin began to carbonize rapidly!
"Ahn'Qiraj!" Bangui let go of Taniser and rushed over to slap the egg of the goddess in her hand, but Tanisel sneered, "She has already begun to polarize. , once it starts, it is impossible to stop. If you touch her at this time, maybe it will turn black with her."
Roland snapped out his gun and pointed it at Ethan's head without any hesitation. The tenderness in Ethan's eyes that had been preserved in his eyes now seemed to have evaporated suddenly, "It's you who is making trouble! Let her go!"
Ethan felt like a cold fire was burning in his heart, and there was a bitter taste of anger in his throat.
The smile on Tanisel's face gradually settled into a kind of sharpness, he played with the ball of breath flying around his fingers, and said slowly, "I said, once something is done, there is no The possibility of turning back. If she chooses to contact the Sequence God Egg, she should understand that the process of polarization is irreversible. However, if you can return Ethan to me, then if I take the Sequence God Egg back now, she will probably still Can live a few more years, just like the Eve scholar who was the first to contact the egg of the order god."
Benji and Roland looked at each other, and then at Ethan. Beta, who had never spoken, stood there calmly, as if what happened in front of him had nothing to do with him.
"What do you mean by polarizing?" Roland didn't seem willing to surrender easily, his brows stood upright, and the murderous intent in his eyes deepened, and he asked gritted his teeth.
"It's called the Egg of the Sequence God, and you can probably guess its ability. It can replace the atomic particles of different substances at will, thereby converting substances into each other. However, this conversion is tendentious in the natural state. Yes, they will make matter gradually evolve towards a more stable and orderly state." Tanisel said, chuckling, "Sounds good, doesn't it? Maybe it can rejuvenate people. But have you ever thought about it? , the human body is not so stable and orderly, in fact it is very unstable, and extremely short-lived, changing every moment, this is not a state that the Sequence God likes."
"What the hell do you mean! What the hell happened to Ahn'Qiraj!" Benji exclaimed impatiently.
Tanisel glanced at him, "Although the universe we live in is governed by the power of the Order God, order and chaos are always two sides of the same body. Without certain freedom, that is, chaos and variables, life itself is impossible. Yes. Too much chaos or too much order can have horrific consequences. Your Ahn'Qiraj, she is now moving from a less stable state of life to a most extreme and almost never changing What about stable matter transformation?"
"Extreme... stable state." Roland's face gradually turned pale.
Aren't the most stable substances known so far those noble gases like helium
No... Impossible, how can a good person become gas? ! This must be the deceitful priest lying!
But what was the cloud of smoke rising from her almost blackened hand? Why are even the fingers that have turned black keep getting thinner? She didn't scream, just like a doll who was put in a strange position, her hands were shriveled little by little, and the carbonized black was still spreading upwards.
And... The priest said that the first person who touched the egg of the prelude disappeared out of thin air after many years, and the roommate said that he was eaten by his own "shadow".
That shadow... Could it be a person who was slightly carbonized
Roland stared at Tanisel with a sinister look that Ethan had never seen him show, while Benji, who was beside him, was already panicking, he strode over to Tanisel and whispered, "First Give it back to him! If anything happens to Ahn'Qiraj..."
Roland gave him a gloomy look, his hand holding the gun was so tight, but he finally let it go. He said to Ethan a little sullenly, "You... go with him."
Ethan gave him a cold look, and suddenly smiled, "Aren't you going to take me to Ophiuchus? Changed your mind?"
Roland looked at him with a complicated expression, almost in pain, "You..."
Ethan's green eyes looked at his eyes at this moment, and there was a kind of intimidating meaning that had never been seen before. Roland suddenly felt that this Beta had changed a lot this year. Was it the forbidden city that changed him, or the demon-like priest Eve in front of him
"Ethan, come here." Tanisel's voice had a sense of command, and the full possessiveness leaked out through the trace of displeasure.
However, Ethan was so obedient, he walked obediently to the priest. After making sure that he was close enough to himself and far enough away from Roland, the priest reached out and lightly touched the egg of the Sequence God, and picked it up lightly. But even though the Egg of the Sequence God left his palm, Ahn'Qiraj still maintained his original posture, the spreading blackness stopped immediately, and retreated a little. However, almost all of her arms were black.
"Ahn'Qiraj!" Benji shook the female Beta's body vigorously, but she still had a stiff expression and did not respond. There was a blank daze in her eyes, as if her soul had drifted to an unknown distance. Benji reached out to touch her blackened and withered arm, but at the moment when her fingers touched her lightly, her arm suddenly broke like ash, and flew away quickly, dissolving in the air, and it was like ashes. Generally wiped out.
The unexpectedly brutal scene made Benji scream. Roland glared at Tanissell angrily, and raised the gun again, "You said you would let her go!"
Tanisel was accustomed to keeping Ethan slightly behind, facing the tall Alpha who was exuding a dangerous aura, "I said, this process is irreversible. Her brain may have been affected first, so There will be no response now, but there are still three or four years before complete gasification."
"You bastard!" Benji roared and pulled out a small dick from his waist, pulling the trigger at Tanisel. Ethan didn't have time to think about anything at that moment, and pushed Tanisel away.
However, the pain that was expected to burst in the chest did not occur, and the air suddenly became quiet.
He slowly opened his eyes and saw a wall in front of him, a wall made of many thin earthworm-like tentacles. And the ends of those tentacles spread all the way to the back of his head, shooting out from under the skin of the back of his neck. He seemed to suddenly come back to his senses, and those tentacles also shrank back in an instant, as fast as an illusion.
The whole process only took a few seconds, but the two Ophiuchus agents present could still see it clearly. Roland's shocked face, Benji fell to the ground in horror, pointed at him and said with a trembling, "That's... what is that!"
Ethan was also terrified. He took a step back, but bumped into the priest's chest. He turned his head and saw Tanisel's surprised face.
"I... I didn't mean to..." Ethan didn't know what he was defending, he touched the back of his neck with his trembling hands, and felt a black bloodstain. He groaned in his throat, and he bent down but couldn't spit out anything.
So last night...wasn't it a dream
Tanissell grabbed his arm and stepped back to the door, but when he opened the door, he found that it could not be pulled. He took out the egg of the Sequence God again and threatened Roland, "Open the door, or I will turn your friends into a ball of helium now!"
Roland seemed to calm down at the moment, he suddenly raised his gun, not aiming at them, but Ahn'Qiraj's head.
A beam of light swept across the room, and Ahn'Qiraj fell silently to the ground, blushing blood gurgling from a blood hole on his forehead, and the white brains slowly overflowed.
The sudden change made Ethan and Tanisel startled for a while. Benji also shouted, but nothing could stop him.
Roland said blankly, "Anyway, they're all going to die. It's better to walk clean now than to live without a ghost for three or four years." After speaking, the muzzle was aimed at Tanisel again, "Ethan is what happened?"
Before Tanisel could answer, Ethan suddenly laughed. The laughter gradually increased from low to high, and finally became a little crazy.
"What's going on? Haven't you seen it yet?" Ethan raised his green eyes and looked at him with a broken tone, "I'm a monster."
"No, Ethan." Roland's voice suddenly softened, and the blue eyes seemed to have regained the tenderness when the two fell in love, "You are just sick, the priest next to you did it to you. Something's making you sick. Haven't you seen it yet? He's a ruthless psychopath! Come back with me and I'll find the best doctor to heal you!"
Even though he was scolded, Tanisel was neither angry nor excused. Because Ethan was still standing by his side, showing no sign of leaving.
Ethan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Go back with you, I'm afraid not to be treated, but to be dissected." He paused, and said as if determined, "Roland, do you remember the one at the Horned Man banquet? What did the bloody horned man say? I tell you, what he said was true."
Roland frowned tightly, as if he couldn't believe what he said. Ethan pursed his lips, finally took a step forward, straightened his back, and for the first time he put Tanisel behind him and made a protective gesture, "If you don't let us go, you and your Friends, it will be the same fate as those horned people."
His threat is actually to strengthen his confidence, because he simply doesn't know when those tentacles will grow and when they won't.
Roland was unwilling to give in, and the guns in his and Benji's hands were still pointed straight at the priest and Ethan, seemingly determined not to let him and Tanisel leave. But at this moment, there was a commotion in the yard. When listening carefully, it was the patrolmen of the Earth Army who were shouting loudly, saying that they wanted to search.
Roland and Benji suddenly became nervous, and at the moment when their attention was distracted, Taniser suddenly rushed towards Benji. The other party shot quickly, but Taniseer raised his hand and missed the gun, and the laser shot through the roof immediately. Roland immediately shot at Tanissell, the priest was shot in the shoulder, and the rose-colored blood smeared on the white clothes. However, he didn't have time to pause, grabbed Ethan and rolled out the window.
