Ethan sat in the last seat of the large aircraft filled with the soldiers of the Earth Army, and looked out the window at the sky that turned into deep purple due to the dark red morning sun, and the forests and cities that were constantly flying over the ground. . The planet has not yet been destroyed by heavy industry, and although it lacks sunlight and is very cold, it still has a kind of unworldly and mysterious beauty. Ethan looked at the light and wondered if the purple of Eve's sky was the same as this deep purple. But thinking of Tanisel's hair that seemed to have been kissed by the sun, he felt that it must not be as dim as this planet.
The soldiers in front were swearing and teasing each other, each talking about how difficult and troublesome the Omega in their own family or in a relationship was. While talking, the topic somehow led to Inhumans, probably because the city of Tonga they were going to was the city where Inhumans were currently.
"Hey! Inhumans!" a bald-headed Alpha soldier suddenly shouted at him, "I heard that there are no Omegas in your forbidden city, and there are very few women, so some horny same-sex Alphas will also get together with each other, is it true? Huh?" As he said, he even made a malicious mocking expression, as if he was talking about something disgusting and curious. Ethan looked at him coldly, and suddenly grinned, "Yeah, don't do anything for a good-looking person like you, or you'll be used as an Omega if you go in."
"What the fuck are you talking about!" The soldier was about to stand up when he was so embarrassed. The hormonal smell on Alpha's body when he was about to enter a combat state would always make a Beta like Ethan instinctively terrified, but Ethan was surprised to find that, I don't feel anything now. He even had some contempt for that Alpha.
Is it because you have seen the real horror and found yourself a part of that horror
Ethan looked back at the Alpha who was rushing towards him without fear, and looked indifferently at the other Alpha who stopped the impulsive soldier. Another soldier, who appeared to be a sergeant, gave him a warning look and drank the soldier back.
Ethan sneered and ignored them.
It was almost evening when I got off the aircraft, and gray fur was waiting outside the cabin. The gloomy guard had planned to taunt this Beta, who had successfully escaped the forbidden city but was stupidly sent to the door by himself, but was a little stunned when he saw Ethan.
Ethan's hands were tightly restrained by electronic handcuffs, and he was still wearing the robe of a horned man. But something has changed in that Beta who is always obedient. He can't tell where it has changed, but it just makes him feel jealous for a moment.
It's weird, what's there to be afraid of as a nerd who is nothing out of his original social status
He quickly threw away the fleeting feeling, and smiled coldly with white teeth, "It seems that you are really reluctant to leave."
Ethan stood in front of him with a blank expression, submissively allowing him to buckle the collar in his hand around his neck. He noticed many bruises on the back of Ethan's neck. He remembered that when Samuel and the others were saved, there was something wrong with their expressions, especially when it came to Ethan who was "dead". It seemed they were hiding something.
However, this is not what he is most interested in at the moment, and he has more important tasks to complete. But this Beta's return can be regarded as adding a little spice to his depressed life. Moreover, this former Secretary of the Energy Bureau may be used sometimes.
Ethan was escorted by Gray Fur to a military camp that was not "dedicated to people". Along the way, I received many surprised eyes. However, the most shocking was Jarvan not far away, even the long knife he was wiping fell to the ground. The always arrogant Alpha's mouth opened into an O shape, and a trace of fear overflowed from his wide eyes. Derek, who was practicing pull-ups not far from him, turned and ran.
After a while, Samuel ran out of the room and stopped about a dozen paces away from him. His handsome and resolute face stared at him fixedly, as if he couldn't believe his eyes, gasping for breath. Tai Feng also followed a few steps behind him and chased out. The moment his eyes met Ethan, he reached out and covered his mouth.
"Yo, what a big welcome ceremony, it looks like you have a good relationship?" Gray Mao hummed and said with a smile, "I can't help but wonder if they knew that you were not dead, and deliberately helped you escape. Woolen cloth?"
"I am indeed dead," Ethan said lightly, "but I am alive again."
Gray Mao pulled him in front of him, untied his handcuffs, and whispered in his ear, "I know you're hiding something, I'll watch you."
Ethan's expression was indifferent, like a puppet.
Gray Mao pushed him away, straightened his hat, turned and left.
Ethan turned slowly, facing his partner. Samuel has always been his most trusted friend. He grew up without siblings, and Samuel felt like a big brother to him.
However, he still remembered that when he was the most hesitant and painful, Samuel in front of him left him alone in the dark and left with three other people.
He didn't even care about Typhoon Jarvandrick, and the thing that bothered him the most was Samuel's back.
The two were facing each other from a distance, and neither of them spoke for a while. After a while, Ethan lowered his eyes and showed a tired smile, "I'm back."
Samuel rushed over suddenly, and when he reacted, he realized that he was being hugged by another broad and strong chest. The arms around his body were so tight that he could hardly breathe. He felt Samuel bury his head at the side of his neck and let out a long sigh.
Then Samuel pulled him slightly away, staring hard at him with dark brown eyes, as if trying to see a hole in him. "Why did you come back? Didn't Tanisel take you away?"
Ethan maintained an indifferent smile, "It's a long story."
Samuel reached out and carefully touched the scar on the back of his neck, as if afraid of being burned, "He... really cured you..."
Ethan nodded silently.
Neither Taifeng nor the other two who had seen his "true face" came forward, and they kept a guarded distance from him. Ethan met Taefeng's eyes across Samuel's shoulders. What's different, he still remembered the completely trusting, almost attachment look in the other party's eyes when he had just rescued Tai Feng from Gray Mao's hands; although that look was transferred to Samuel's body later, but When Taifeng faced him, his eyes were always less indifferent and more enthusiastic towards his friends.
But now that familiar enthusiasm is gone, it's not just alienation, but an instinctive fear when facing unknown creatures. He seemed to be trying to suppress his intuition, but Ethan could still feel the fear emanating from him.
It's really strange, when did his nose become so smart that he could smell people's emotions
"Don't worry, none of us told anyone about you." Samuel squeezed his shoulder and whispered in a comforting voice, then he naturally put his arms around Ethan's shoulder, and cast his arms from other non-humans. The curious sight that came. Ethan let the other party lead him into the barracks. The non-people were crowded into several nearby barracks, with a long row of bunks and quilts folded squarely on the beds. As soon as Ethan entered, he saw Chen Zeng sitting on a relatively inner bunk, surrounded by non-human beings, listening to what he had to say. Chen Zeng looked up and saw Ethan coming in, nodded and smiled at him.
The moment Ethan saw him, he finally felt a little nervous.
Once Chen Zeng's devout believers know that the genes of the evil god they have been talking about may exist in his body, I wonder if they will swallow him alive as Satan himself
In the second universe, the feeling of being collectively isolated is vivid in his mind, and he knows that he must hide the...things in his body at all costs.
*********
Ethan learned that non-people have been used as bait to search for the horned guerrillas, and they were put into forests, foothills or ravines that the Earth Army was not familiar with. The military is not where people are, and it is besieging and suppressing the rebels. In this way, they have successfully captured two rebel tribe leaders who have repeatedly launched terrorist attacks against Earthlings. However, the non-people also suffered heavy casualties. There were originally more than 300 people, but now there are only about 170 left.
The only time the other earth army could not figure it out was the three thousand horned people killed by Ethan. Samuel and the others insisted that the giant worms in the ground had eaten them, but the Earth Army had never found the "underground worms" that Samuel said, and the deaths of those 3,000 people became unsolved cases. Samuel said there must be someone questioning Ethan about that day and making him be careful not to say anything.
On the first night back in prison, Ethan didn't sleep well. Most of the non-people fell asleep, snoring one after another, occasionally mixed with babbling in their dreams. Ethan sat in front of the bed by himself, staring at the large and small two moons hanging in the sky in a daze. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket, which looked ordinary, even wrinkled by him. He stroked the fabric with his thumb, and his eyes became soft and sad.
He brought the handkerchief to his nose, and could vaguely smell the breath of Tanithel. He seemed to have grabbed the life-saving elixir, or the holy spring that quenched his thirst, sniffed the scent vigorously, and buried his face in the handkerchief. It was the only thing left of him that belonged to Tanisel, and the thoughts had never been so thick and bloody.
A hand suddenly appeared on his shoulder, and Ethan turned around for a while.
Samuel looked down at him with a worried look on his face.
"You can't sleep either?" Omega asked.
Ethan silently put the handkerchief back into his pocket, silently looking at the silver streamer scattered on the windowsill.
"Why didn't you go with him?" Samuel leaned on the windowsill and looked at him with a complicated expression. I don't seem to know if I should ask this question. Ethan wanted to laugh a little, when Samuel became wary of him too. If it was before, Samuel would have slapped him directly and asked him if you were a fucking fool.
"I was discovered by the Earth Army." Ethan said simply.
Samuel frowned slightly, feeling that Ethan was hiding something. However... He originally thought that he and Ethan would never meet again in this life, and he was still happy to have the opportunity to meet again.
But what happened to Ethan? Why did it become like that before.
At this moment, Beta was immersed in the moonlight, with a hesitant blue in his hair and face, looking so harmless. In addition, the previous memory on the altar was as unreal as a dream.
"Ethan, on the altar... what the hell happened to you? Did they do something to you on Mars?"
"Infected by the God of Entropy, and later affected in the second universe." Ethan said in a tone that was almost indifferent and irrelevant to himself, "Tanither has been helping me suppress with the egg of the God of Sequence, Let me be like a normal person."
"Infection..." Samuel's expression seemed to sink into a black vortex of memory, and the micro-expressions of panic and disgust flashed away, "But you are different from those people on the red earth... You have not become that kind of... bug."
"I don't know either." Ethan said faintly, suddenly chuckling, "Have you started to worry about living in the same room with me in the future? I don't know when I will become that disgusting look again. ."
His prickly tone made Samuel a little unhappy, and some were annoyed by the central thing, "Hey, I haven't said anything about your nonsense there."
"Don't worry." Ethan stood up straight and gave him a distant look, "I won't hurt you."
Samuel stared blankly as Ethan walked back to his bunk, pulled the quilt and got in, never looking at him again.
He vaguely realized that Ethan's trust in him may have begun to shake.
The author has something to say:
At the end of the last chapter, I misspelled Ethan's surname with shaking hands... We Ethan still have a long way to go before we get married, so we didn't change our surname_(:з"∠)_
