Falling into the Abyss

Ethan and others were sent back to the Forbidden City by a transport spacecraft shortly after being rescued. Non-people were awakened from the dormant warehouse a week before returning to Earth, and then locked up in the warehouse waiting to land. There are now less than a hundred of the three hundred people who went there, and half of them are dying. Although they have received basic treatment, it is clear that those with broken arms and legs cannot be cured in a day or two.

The temporary bunks in the warehouse often groaned in pain, and the rumbling noise of the spaceship made people feel irritable. Ethan sat cross-legged on his bed, using a piece of old pencil he found in the warehouse, burying his head in a piece of cargo wrapping paper. Suddenly, the light was obscured by human shadows, and Ethan looked up and unexpectedly saw Chen Zeng smiling at him.

Chen Zeng was one of the few who didn't get hurt much, just because every time he was in danger, he would be firmly protected in the crowd by his followers, desperately helping him to cover and making him retreat.

Ethan didn't understand how anyone would believe his evil **** to the point that they would sacrifice their lives for him. Wouldn't Chen Zeng feel scared when he controlled such fanatical emotions?

Ethan became alert and folded the paper casually, "What's the matter?"

"I heard Stan say that you are a great hero this time. You saved his life?"

Ethan shook his heart. It seems that Stan is also Chen Zeng's person... He pretended to be embarrassed and smiled, "I was just lucky to find the way out. It was Samuel and the chief security officer who saved him."

"So, did you see those bugs?" Chen Zeng naturally sat down next to his bed. Ethan felt a little unhappy, but he didn't express anything on his face, still keeping a polite smile.

"Yes. It's scary."

"But they didn't hurt you?"

Ethan noticed that he was using you, not you, and his nerves tensed. I want to stand from the perspective of outsiders, things are really strange. Needless to say, the sergeant and Stan, whose legs were crippled, were also nearly eaten by the Chief of Guard and Samuel. Only he took the initiative to get into the worm's den and came out intact. If you are a caring person, you will find doubts at once.

He pretended to smile heartily, "I was really lucky this time. Probably because the previous missions were too unlucky, now it's a transfer."

Chen Zeng's gentle on the surface, and his eyes with wits inside firmly locked him, "Before you were sacrificed, you were so lucky to retreat all over, thank the Lord for taking care of him."

Ethan knew that there was something in his words, so he echoed, "Yes, I escaped twice, maybe I really want to start believing in God."

"The horned people admire those worms very much. The average person may not know that although the horned people who are not fully blooming but are very pious think that the worms are a noble race than them, the people on earth, and the people in any star country in the galaxy. , Because they are the descendants of the so-called great wise men. Do you think they have intelligence?"

Ethan felt that Chen Zeng probably knew something.

If he denies it alone, I am afraid it will only make the other party more suspicious. So he thought for a moment, and he was unsure of the general answer, "Seriously, I'm not sure."

"Oh?"

"They attacked very strategically. They surrounded us without attacking casually, but forced us into the underground temple. They just don't know what they are going to do to let us down."

"Stan said, can you understand the words on the stone pillars of the temple?" Chen Zeng continued to ask.

Ethan cursed inwardly. Although Stan's words were crippled and his legs were crippled, it was obvious that his eyes, ears and memory were all very good. He turned quickly in his mind, and scratched his hair as if embarrassed, "I don't understand, but I don't know why it seems to be hypnotized. It may be a bit like the kind of mental hypnosis that happens on the red earth? The big one they believe in. Wise man, I think it is very similar to the entropy **** of Eve and the great evil **** you mentioned. Maybe they have similar abilities."

"Sure enough!" Chen Zeng looked solemn, "It seems that the horned people believe in the Great Evil God. They have long known that the Great Evil God is coming!"

Ethan shrugged awkwardly, "But we are the universe ruled by the God of Prologue, and the God of Entropy cannot fully enter. This is what Tanithel said."

"No, there is a way." Chen Zeng had a flash of fear in his calm mask at this moment, "These great evil gods have never given up on this universe. For a long time, they have been searching for their followers in the universe and opening up the hell. The method of the gate is recorded in several manuscripts. Since ancient times, anyone who has seen those manuscripts has encountered a tragic ending. Some people are crazy, some are missing, and some people have gained a little bit of knowledge and made it up. A myth."

The manuscript... Ethan remembered the one he was holding in the hands of the corner man healer.

"How do you know these things?" Ethan looked at the ordinary Asian man in front of him with some suspicion.

However, Chen Zeng suddenly put on his usual kind and deep smile, "You forgot, am I the messenger of God?"

Ethan wanted to roll his eyes, but as he didn't know who was Chen Zeng's fan, he had to suppress himself. But he still couldn't help but wonder if Tanithel told him again...

Although the priest didn't have a chance to meet Cheng Zeng, since he was able to talk to Samuel before and knew the approximate location of his mutated himself at the time, it was not impossible to talk to Chen Zeng. Moreover, with Chen Zeng's current position in the forbidden city, as long as he knows a little bit, he can ask those guards who believe him to help him find the information he needs. Maybe, he also has a manuscript in his hand...

What does the priest want to do? Ethan felt bored.

He probably got the information he wanted. Chen Zeng stood up, stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder, "I have a hunch that you and I will have a deep connection. When I pray every morning and evening, I will pray for you. of."

Ethan looked at Chen Zeng inexplicably as he turned and left, before taking out the piece of paper from his pocket for a long while.

On the paper is a letter he wrote to Thanisel. He used very tactful words, and he didn't write a head-up sign, so he should not be seen through. He hesitated, wondering whether he should gather this piece of paper into a ball or tear it into pieces.

His spiritual connection with Tanisel has been silent for more than two weeks. He needs to know if Tanithel is well and he needs to see the priest. Now Samuel and Schneider's situation is unpredictable even for him. He needs the guidance of the priest.

**********

Schneider quietly entered the cargo hold. At this time, most of the people on the spaceship fell asleep, and the cargo hold was quiet. He pretended to be on patrol and walked slowly through the temporary bunks, then turned a few turns, and went down two floors along the metal escalator, and saw a person in the medicine storage room. He was leaning against the door, stunned with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Do you want to see me?" Schneider said, taking the cigarette he picked up today from his pocket. This is the secret sign they agreed. If Samuel needs to find Schneider for something, he will leave a cigarette in the elevator on the upper floor of China Unicom and the warehouse.

Samuel glanced at him and took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket. "Could you please send me a letter?"

Schneider hasn't seen a "letter" written in paper for many years, and his eyebrows raised slightly, "For whom?"

"Ethan gave it to the Priest of Eve." Samuel said the words "Priest of Eve" with some discomfort, and handed the note to Schneider. The moment the latter took it, the black eyes covered by the eyelashes seemed a little sad.

Samus did not let go of his hand holding the note. Schneider looked up at him in surprise.

"In that temple, what's the matter of you kissing me?" Samus asked.

Schneider was most afraid of him asking this question, and he couldn't escape until now. He pulled back the note hard and said in a cold voice, "Don't think I will take special care of you because of this."

"Aren't you already taking special care of me?"

"...I just pity you."

"Do you have pity on me or yourself?" Samus slowly approached him, obviously the same height, but Schneider inexplicably felt that Samus was pressing him at this moment, making him feel a deep threat. He was unwilling to step back and show weakness, so he had to endure the awkwardness and embarrassment he was full of, and faced Samus's scrutiny eyes.

Samuel had entered his personal space, and even forced him back a few steps, knocking a cardboard box down with his calf. Samuel's meaningful gaze made him immobile, and his low voice made him almost want to fight a cold war.

"No one will be nice to another person for no reason. You have been helping me before. Do you want me to have **** with you?"

There was no contempt in the questioning, but there was no euphemism to cover up, and Schneider's slightly darker skin was blushing faintly. He turned to leave, but Samus grabbed his arm.

"I'm asking you very seriously." Samuel said, "I'm very embarrassed to always be favored by you."

Schneider unbearable, turned and glared at him, "So you have to be my bitch?"

"Do not talk about that awful thing. And the last time the two of us from the position of view, that is how you are my **** ah?" Samuel laughed.

"Don't think that you have my handle in your hand, and I won't hit you." Schneider squeezed this sentence viciously from his teeth. However, Samus hurriedly said with a smile, "Forget I can’t speak. I mean, we both know each other’s secrets now. It’s not a big deal to help each other out occasionally. If you want this, I do not mind."

"I mind!"

"Um... You are so angry, maybe you really fell in love with me." Samus said half-jokingly, as if he didn't believe that the other party would really fall in love with him. However, Schneider's silence made him slowly widen his eyes, "Couldn't you really..."

"This discussion ends here." Schneider stopped what he didn't say with a look full of contradictions, nostalgia, and sadness. "I heard that the priest named Tanisel has been taken back to Eve. I will find a way to give him this paper."

Seeing Schneider leaving behind, Samuel felt heavy in some sense.

Originally Ethan said that Schneider liked him, but he didn't believe it. But the kiss in the temple is impossible to erase from memory. Samuel didn't like debts, especially favor debts. He owed Schneider so much, and his heart was not at ease. So he thought, if Schneider is only carnal to him, there is nothing he can't satisfy him. Anyway, what happened to the two of them in the basement last time... it's very memorable.

But if the other party wants something so extravagant, can he really afford it?

In the forbidden city, how can such a naive thing be accommodated?
