Falling into the Abyss

The moment Ethan and the priest turned out of the room from the window, the doors of many rooms suddenly popped open. Before anyone saw them, there were already dense laser beams shooting from each room to the Earth Army downstairs.However, the earth army also seemed to have been prepared, and immediately found cover and began to fight back.In the hail of bullets, Tanisel protected Ethan as he stooped and walked quickly, rushing all the way to the corner of the stairs before he had to catch his breath.Ethan saw the rosy red on Tanithel's shoulders, and his whole heart seemed to be drowned on the stove, but the priest didn't seem to feel any pain.

"Why did the Earth Army come? Is it to catch the Ophiuchus or us?" Ethan murmured uneasily.

"I hired a local man to report that there are secret operations of the Ophiuchus here. I guessed that they would not let us leave easily, so I stayed behind." Tanithel's tone was a little hasty Said, "The front door has been blocked by the Earth Army, let's find a way out from the back."

Ethan nodded, and rushed down the stairs following the swift-footed priest.There was chaos in the ears, and there were cries of anger or pain that could not be explained, accompanied by the hissing sound when the laser burned the masonry ground and even the human body.At the end of the stairs, there is a corridor that runs across the entire back-shaped building, which looks like an exit.But as soon as they arrived at the end of the corridor downstairs, the door was kicked open, and many earth soldiers rushed in.When they suddenly saw Tanisel, an Eve, they were all a little dazed.

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

The soldiers looked at the two of them a little strangely, and then they filed past them and rushed into the hotel.

Ethan never knew that Tanisel's mental power was suspicious and could affect more than a dozen people at the same time, but when he looked carefully, he found that Tanisel's face was a little blue, his lips were tightly pursed, and his hands were still walking fast. Pressing hard near the injured shoulder, it seems that he is trying to endure.Ethan panicked, "We have to go to the hospital! You need to stop the bleeding!"

"It's okay." Tanisel asserted simply, "It's not safe here, let's talk about it after leaving here."

They quickly blended into the bustling market.The stalls are chaotically crowded with each other, and in the narrow aisles, there are people who buy vegetables and go shopping, and there are a bunch of laughing little horned people in the middle of the gaps between the overlapping legs of people.They were mixed in the crowd, moving little by little with the direction of the crowd flow.Tanithel's injury occasionally attracted a few strange or vigilant eyes, but luckily it didn't cause any commotion. Most people just focused on their own business and didn't even notice whether it was a human or a pig passing by. .

They flashed into a narrow alley that could only accommodate two people walking side by side. Tanithel leaned against the wall, his beautiful facial features finally distorted with a hint of pain.Ethan was at a loss and wanted to check his injured shoulder, but he shrank back when he touched the priest.Ethan was so distressed, he took Tanithel's hand and asked softly, "How far is it?"

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

Ethan nodded, and helped Tanisel to stagger forward in the dark alley.However, when he reached the center of the alleyway, Taniser's Wanxi ball suddenly began to flash a lavender light, floating 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 Wanxiqiu seemed to rebel suddenly, blocking him again and again, preventing him from moving forward.

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

A stream of light shot out from the ball of ten thousand breaths, forming a human-shaped image in mid-air.It was also an Eve, slightly taller than Tanithel, and seemed to be slightly older, with a handsome and elegant face, long dark brown hair and eyes, and pointed ears similar to Tanithel and the third eye.He was also wearing a snow-white priestly uniform, but the neckline and cuffs were covered with purple ribbons, which Tanisel did not have.

It seems that this is also a priest, and seeing that Tanisel lowered his proud head towards him in a proper manner, he is probably a priest with a high status.

"Officer." He turned slightly sideways, as if trying to hide his injury.

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

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

Tanithel lowered his eyes, paused and replied, "The Faun Star."

"Before I got the inquiry information from the Earth Alliance, I still couldn't believe it. You are too courageous!"

The heavy questioning reminded Ethan of his father...but obviously this person cared more about Tanithel than his father.

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

"No matter what you have to do, stop now!" The priest looked at Ethan with cold eyes without a trace of emotion, but still said to Tanithel, "You have overstepped too much this time. Now, if we lose another egg of the Prologue God, our entire temple will not be able to account for it. Give this human to the Earth Alliance and come back immediately!"

Tanithel said, "I want to bring him back to Eve Star."

The officiant's face suddenly changed. If it was just cold anger just now, it is now mixed with shocking rage, "What are you talking about?! Are you crazy! He is not human, you want to bring him to Eve Star because you want to Want 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 has been asking us about your whereabouts not long ago!"

"Then you tell them I'm dead!"

"You!" The priest suddenly closed his eyes, as if trying to stabilize his emotions.After a while, he opened his eyes again, and he had recovered his original calmness, or rather coldness, "Taniser, are you forcing me to expel you?"

Tanithel's eyes widened slightly. He probably didn't expect that the other party would threaten him with expulsion.

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

Tanithel pushed him away without even turning his head, "Don't make trouble." He continued to say to the purple-clothed priest, "You should know why I am so persistent! You agreed!"

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

After speaking, the communication was cut off.

Tanithel stared blankly at the dark void in front of him, and didn't 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 too long alley.There is a narrow embankment outside the alley, a dry shallow river, and a stone arch bridge that has not been repaired for many years. There is indeed an aircraft with the invisible function turned on.It looks likely to be an Ophiuchus vehicle borrowed from the Horn tribe.

Although Tanithel's face was pale due to excessive blood loss and his steps were sloppy, every step he took was still extremely firm.Ethan looked at his back, soreness rising in his throat.

For such a useless monster like himself, would this proud and beautiful priest be willing to be exiled?

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

Tanithel opened the cockpit of the aircraft and sat in with difficulty, but turned around to find Ethan standing a few steps away from him, looking at him in a daze.

"Why are you in a daze? Come in quickly!" Tanithel's reproaching voice was a little weak because of lack of strength.

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

"Ethan!!! Come back to me!!!" Tanithel's angry voice came from behind, but Ethan knew that the priest was exhausted, and he had lost a lot of blood and wasted a lot of mental energy. There is no way to catch up with myself.

As long as he strode away, the priest can safely return to Eve Star.

Whether he is cowardly or selfish, he cannot be the reason for Tanithel's exile.He could feel that there was a huge hole in the priest's heart that he couldn't touch, and there was a dark chaos that could not be reached.Without the shackles of the temple, he would definitely be completely lost in the endless darkness.

Just like himself, if it weren't for the priest, the light in the darkness, he wouldn't know if he had turned into a murderous monster at this moment, swallowed by the countless darkness surging in his heart.

Although he really wanted to leave all these nightmares with the priest, bask in the beautiful violet sky light of Eve, travel to the cantilevered galaxy on the opposite side of the Milky Way, and see the huge black hole at the center of the Milky Way.

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

Because of this, he rushed towards a pair of earth troops coming towards him, and raised his hands.

"I am Ethan Eldridge, an inhuman from the Earth Alliance Forbidden City."

Comrades, Ethan’s surname has not been changed, it’s all because I’m not clear-headed and trembling in the middle of the night... _(:з」∠)_
