The moment Ethan and the priest turned out of the room from the window, the doors of many rooms suddenly popped open. Before anyone could see it, a network of dense laser beams shot from each room to the Earth Army downstairs. However, the Earth Army also seemed to be well prepared, and immediately found cover and started fighting back. Amidst the hail of bullets, Tanisel stooped to protect Ethan, rushing all the way to the corner of the stairs to catch his breath. Ethan saw the rosy red on Tanisel's shoulders becoming more and more diffuse, and the whole heart seemed to be fried on the stove, but the priest seemed to feel no pain.

"Why did the Earth Army come? Are they here to catch the Ophiuchus or us?" Ethan murmured uneasily.

"I hired a local corner man to report that there is a detailed work of Ophiuchus here. I guessed that they would not let us leave easily, so they stayed behind." Tanisel's tone was a little hurried. Said, "The front door has been blocked by the Earth Army, we will find a way out from the back."

Ethan nodded and rushed down the stairs behind the fast-paced priest. There was confusion in the ears, there were shouts of anger or pain that were unclear, accompanied by the hissing sound of the laser burning the masonry ground and even the human body. At the end of the stairs, there is a corridor that traverses the entire zigzag building, which seems to be an exit. But as soon as they reached the downstairs, the door at the end of the corridor was kicked open, and many Earth soldiers swarmed in. When they suddenly saw Tanisel, the Eve, they were a little stunned.

Tanisel suddenly opened the eyes on his forehead and said in a calm voice, "The Ophiuchus spy you are looking for is inside."

The soldiers gave them a few strange glances, and then they walked past them and rushed towards the hotel.

Ethan never knew that Tanisel's mental power was suspiciously affecting more than a dozen people at the same time, but if he looked closely, he found that Tanisel, who was still walking quickly, was a little blue, his lips were tightly pursed, his hands He pressed hard near the injured shoulder, as if trying to endure. Ethan panicked, "We have to go to the hospital! You need to stop the bleeding!"

"It's okay," Tanithel asserted simply, "It's not safe here, let's get out of here."

They quickly blended into the bustling market. The stalls crowded with each other in a disorderly manner. In the narrow aisles, people shopping for food, shopping for goods, and a string of laughing little horned people in the middle of the crowd drilled through the gaps between people's legs. They mingled in the crowd, moving little by little in the direction of the crowd. Occasionally, Tanisel's injury drew a few strange or alert glances, but fortunately it didn't cause any commotion. Most people just went about their own business and didn't even notice whether a man or a pig was passing by. .

They flashed into a narrow alley that could only accommodate two people passing side by side, Tanisel leaned against the wall, his beautiful features finally twisted into a hint of pain. Ethan was overwhelmed and tried to look at his injured shoulder, but flinched at the slightest touch of the priest. Ethan was so distressed that he took Tanisel's hand and asked softly, "How far is it?"

"Crossing this alley, I will see a stone bridge. I hid the aircraft under the bridge." Tanisel took a deep breath and stood up straight again, "Let's go."

Ethan nodded, and helped Tanisel stagger forward in the dark alley. However, when he reached the center of the alley, Tanisel's Wan-Bi Ball suddenly began to flash a lavender light, hovering in front of him with a sense of urgency, as if urging him to stop. The priest waved his hand irritably at first, as if he wanted to ignore the urgent call, but the Ball of Breath seemed to have suddenly rebelled, blocking him again and again, preventing him from advancing.

Tanissell couldn't, so he had to say the password: agree to the call.

A streamer of light shot out from the ten thousand breath ball, forming a human-shaped image in mid-air. It was also an Eve, slightly taller than Tanisel, and seemed to be slightly older, with a handsome face, long dark brown hair and eyes, and pointed ears similar to Tanisel's. and the third eye. He also wore a white priest's garb, but with purple ribbons around the neck and cuffs, which Tanethel didn't have.

It seems that this is also a priest, and seeing Tanisel bowing his head arrogantly to him, he is probably still a high-ranking priest.

"Official priest." He turned slightly, as if trying to hide his injury.

The Eve, known as the "Official Priest", looked at him with almost stern eyes, and then his eyes moved to Ethan. Ethan had a creepy feeling that even his soul was seen through.

"Tanither, where are you now!" the priest asked.

Tanisel lowered his eyes, paused and replied, "Father."

"I couldn't believe it when I got the inquiry information from the Earth Alliance before. You are too daring!"

Heavy questioning reminded Ethan of his own father... But obviously this person cares more about Tanisel than his father.

Tanisel finally raised his head, his eyes respectful but firm, "I have something to do."

"No matter what you're going to do, stop now!" The priest looked at Ethan with a cold, emotionless gaze, but he still said to Tanisel, "You're arrogant too much this time. Now, if we lose another Sequence God Egg, our entire temple will not be able to explain it. Give this human to the Earth Alliance and come back immediately!"

Tanissell said, "I'm taking him back to Eve."

The chief priest suddenly changed his face. If it was just cold anger just now, now it is mixed with stunned rage, "What did you say?! Are you crazy! He is inhuman, and you want to bring him to Eve Star. Are you going to destroy our relationship with the Earth Alliance?!"

"He's not inhuman anymore. They thought he was dead."

"They may have thought so before, but no matter what you two did just now, you have obviously exposed him. The Earth Alliance was questioning us about your whereabouts not long ago!"

"Then tell them I'm dead!"

"You!" The priest closed his eyes suddenly, as if to stabilize his emotions. After a long while, he opened his eyes again, and he had regained his original calm, or rather cold, "Tanither, are you forcing me to expel you?"

Tanisel's eyes widened slightly, he probably did not expect the other party to threaten him with expulsion.

Ethan took a step forward at this time and cautiously interjected, "Tanither... Otherwise, you can go by yourself."

Tanisel pushed him away without even turning his head, "Don't make trouble." He continued to say to the priest in purple, "You should know why I insist! You agree!"

"Yes, but I didn't expect you to be so paranoid and crazy! Even the royal family can no longer ignore your nonsense, how can I protect you!" The priest rubbed his temples with his hands in disappointment, "You immediately Hand over Ethan Eldridge, otherwise, you don't have to come back." He paused and added, "This is the order of the temple, you better think about it."

After speaking, the communication was cut off.

Tanisel stared blankly at the dark void in front of him, and did not speak for a long time.

Ethan looked at him worriedly, not knowing what to say. However, the priest quickly looked back at him and said lightly, "Let's go."

They walked one after the other, and finally left the alley that was too long. A narrow embankment outside the alley, a dry shallow river, and a stone arch bridge that looks like it has not been repaired for many years is indeed an aircraft with an invisible function turned on. It looks likely to be an Ophiuchus vehicle borrowed from the Horned Tribe.

Although Tanisel's face was pale due to excessive blood loss and his steps were vain, he took every step with great determination. Ethan looked at his back, sourness in his throat.

Is this proud and beautiful priest willing to be banished for such a useless monster as himself

Sure enough, there was no one in the world who treated him so well as Tanisel. How could he, Ethan, be able to bear such affection

Taniser opened the cockpit of the aircraft and sat in with difficulty, only to find Ethan standing a few steps away from him, looking at him with some fascination.

"Why are you in a daze? Come in quickly!" Tanisel's reproachful voice was also a little weak because of his lack of strength.

Ethan suddenly smiled at him, his eyes slightly curved, looking a little tired, but a little childish. He took a step back, then suddenly turned around and ran in the opposite direction as fast as he could.

"Ethan!!! Come back to me!!!" Tanisel's exasperated voice came from behind, but Ethan knew that the priest was exhausted, lost a lot of blood and wasted a lot of mental energy, he is now completely Can't catch up with myself.

Just stride away and the priest can safely return to Eve.

Call him cowardly or selfish, he can't be the reason for Tanisel's banishment. He could feel a huge void in the priest's heart that he couldn't touch, and inside it was a dark chaos that couldn't reach his fingers. Without the ties of the temple, he would have been completely lost in the endless darkness.

Just like himself, if it weren't for the priest's light in the darkness, he didn't know if he had turned into a murderous monster, swallowed up by the countless darkness surging deep inside his heart.

Although he did really want to leave all this nightmare with the priest, bathe in the beautiful violet skylight of Eve, and travel across the cantilevered galaxy across the galaxy to see the massive black hole at the center of the galaxy.

But he didn't want Tanisel to become as lost as himself.

Because of this, he rushed towards the pair of Earth troops approaching and raised his hands.

"I am Ethan Eldridge, the inhuman of the forbidden city of the Earth Alliance."

The author has something to say:

Comrades, Ethan's surname has not been changed, it is entirely because my mind is not clear and my hands are shaking when I update the text in the middle of the night... _(:з"∠)_
