Vol 2 Chapter 33: Atonement: Neptune (6)

Amidst the sound of iron and steel crashing like a mountain crashing and thundering, and amidst the numbness of the trembling of despair facing the end, the pain of being shattered and swallowed by the distorted space has not yet come. The sharp tinnitus was accompanied by a burst of intense dizziness through the body like an electric shock. After that, the deafening noise suddenly disappeared, leaving only a little lingering and lingering rubbing sound. The temperature in the air seemed to have undergone a subtle change, the smell The sour smell that has been permeating in the middle has disappeared, replaced by a familiar touch of warmth.
Ethan opened his eyes sharply. The surroundings are still filled with ominous red, the upper right corner of the room is distorted, and the wall made of the most advanced super carbon fiber material, which is harder than steel, is pulled together like a thin ball of crumpled paper, and the color is charred. And it is covered with holes of different shapes and sizes, as if they have been eroded by acid. The entire room was stretched toward the upper right corner, and Ethan was standing in the farthest corner, so the ground under his feet was only slightly deformed, which seemed to have little effect on him.
After a long time, he finally determined that the rot and distortion had not continued to expand, and then he felt pain in his chest, and he slowly exhaled the breath that was held in his chest for an unknown period of time. Only then did he realize that he had always forgotten to breathe.
He turned around abruptly and saw that the computer screen behind him was black. He looked around at a loss, and tentatively walked out of the room.
The broad main road of the space station outside was no longer recognizable, and only a mass of innumerable materials fused together and collapsed tightly, like a huge, uneven wall lying in front of him. Even the corridor he was in that had not been "infected" was deformed, as if it was stretched. In some places, bumps appeared like boiling, the walls were broken and staggered, and the ground was winding. With a huge crack. Ethan simply didn't know why the space station hadn't lost pressure yet and didn't them all into the universe.
He slowly looked down at his body. Since the surrounding material was deformed before the infection, what about people?
He hurriedly tore off the buttons of his shirt and examined his body carefully. After not seeing anything abnormal, he breathed a sigh of relief, but the back of his neck was always itchy for some reason. He reached out and scratched it, and found a piece of skin near the hairline that was a bit hard and dry.
At this time, from a distant place behind him, people's shouts were faintly heard. His mind was still a little numb, and he turned around and walked in the direction of the voice. He had only one thought at the moment, to leave this place, to go to a place with people. He moved faster and faster, and finally ran.
The mechanical door that separated him from the other inhumans was still closed. He rushed over and slammed the door with his fist, opening his mouth and shouting loudly. When he got here, he suddenly couldn't hear any sound. A panic in his heart, he quickly found a seat that fell on the ground from nearby, and raised it up and slammed it against the door.
Suddenly a series of mechanical movements sounded on the door. Ethan's movements stopped in mid-air, as if he couldn't react, watching the door slowly rise inch by inch.
The man standing behind the door was in white clothes with blond hair, grey eyes burning.
Ethan let go, and the chair fell on the ground with a rattling sound, echoing in the wide and broken corridor. He opened his eyes wide, and suddenly moved his feet, rushed forward in threes or twos, and hugged Tanisir.
At this moment he finally realized clearly that he was saved.
In the last lesson, they pulled the space station back.
It was Tanithel who saved him and saved him again.
The priest was stunned for a moment, his gray eyes drooping slightly. The person in his arms is taller among humans, but in front of this Eve Alpha, he can only reach the height of his cheeks. At this moment, he puts his forehead on the priest's shoulder, and the hand around his waist firmly grasps his back. Clothes, as if afraid he would run away.
Tanithel's heart felt soft for a moment, and he stretched out his hand and hugged Ethan's waist firmly.
The two stood quietly in a mess, like an oil painting full of decadent dark style.
Ethan raised his head, slightly squinted at Tanithel due to myopia, and then seemed to suddenly regained his sanity, awkwardly and quickly released his hand, and stepped back to withdraw from the one that made him nostalgic. Embrace, but don't want to get too far away.
"I want to leave here..." he whispered hastily.
Tanisel took the initiative to take a step forward this time, took off the long white coat on the outermost layer, and hula draped it on Ethan's shoulder. When the warmth came, Ethan realized how cold he was before, but the bitter cold that belonged to Neptune was ignored in the face of the fear of death. Tanithel stretched out his long arms around his body to keep him warm, and whispered, "I will take you out."
Walking along the way, occasionally staggering. When the crisis of survival faded, a variety of previously ignored feelings swarmed. His ribs and stomach are very painful, he may have been injured, and even the muscles on his face will hurt and his expression will be distorted. The only thing that was dispelled was the chill. The temperature on Tanisel's body was still like a stove even at the edge of the solar system, making him feel comfortable and want to sigh.
Coming to the unloading port behind the space station, Ethan saw some soldiers armed with guns, and the remaining eighteen inhumans were lining up to board a military spacecraft. Ethan thought he should also go in line. After experiencing the tragedy of life and death just now, seeing those people again made him a cold hatred from deep in his heart, but after all, he is still one of them, and he should be aware of him and take the initiative to pass. What's more, he didn't want Tanithel to send him there.
But when he was about to move, he found that Tanithel's arm around his shoulders did not relax.
"You go with me." Tanithel said shortly.
The soldiers didn't stop him either, even Gray Mao just glanced over from a distance, the snake-like gloomy gaze was still like a thorn on his back even though it was a distance away.
Tanithel took him aboard another small spaceship, during which the two people did not say anything. As the spacecraft left the space station, Ethan turned his head and looked at the scene behind him projected on the bulkhead of the spacecraft.
The original spinning-wheel-shaped space station has now completely changed its appearance, and its original shape is no longer visible. The west wing completely collapsed and turned into a pitted object of indescribable color, and the east wing has been damaged more than half. The huge and solid space buildings have all become strange and twisted, like a large piece of melted plastic, only In the last section, the original cylindrical corridor can be vaguely seen.
Neptune reappeared in the universe, along with the huge tenth space station and the trajectory of the starship that traversed the night sky like a meteor. The faint blue light soothed his nerves that were too tight and almost torn. Before not knowing it, Ethan fell into a deep sleep.
After turning on the autopilot system, Tanisel turned his head and looked at Beta who was sleeping soundly in the co-pilot, frowning tightly. The third eye on his forehead was half opened, scanning Ethan's body.
There doesn't seem to be any major variation, but some inspections need to be done.
He had no idea that Ethan would be sent to perform this kind of task. He had already negotiated with the Earth Alliance. If he wanted to reopen Project Zero, he would need to keep Ethan. Although the mortal court refused to revoke Ethan's inhuman status, at least he was allowed to raise Ethan whenever he needed assistance.
On the red earth, Ethan was radiated by the Egg of Order God, and then he came into contact with the God of Entropy, which was already very dangerous. Fortunately, it did not cause any irreversible changes. But this time he was sent into a universe dominated by the power of entropy, and he didn't know how much the law there had affected him.
The third eye was closed, and he didn't feel anything worth noting. Ethan's body structure didn't seem to be changed, but his sixth sense was hanging in the air, as if to remind him. What to pay attention to.
But what should we pay attention to?

Ethan jerked all over, then woke up.
He had a nightmare, dreaming that he was going home, only to find that his house was like a space station, twisted into a mass of melted plastic. In the plastic, the sound of his mother playing the cello could still be heard, while his father was standing on the ruins, looking down at him like a of death, expressionless. Then, his body quickly bent back and stretched, making a painful howl.
His eyes opened wide, seeing the image of the northern lights slowly turning at the top of the sleeping cabin.
The mattress under her body is soft, the bedding is clean, and it smells of a light and warm sandalwood fragrance. He remembered that this was the smell of Chitanisel, if it weren't for the nose of the star of his day, he would probably not smell it. He likes the smell, it smells warm and clean, which is reassuring.
Looking up slightly, he could see his pair of glasses that had been hung up and repaired twice in a row, placed on the bedside partition.
He put on his glasses, reached out to scratch the itchy nape, lifted the quilt and got up. Obviously this is a temporary reception room, the standard space station hotel layout-a sleeping cabin, a couch, a translucent electronic table with a little angle, a smart wardrobe embedded in the wall, and ...The bathroom with the door closed.
In addition, there was an uproar from the bathroom.
Ethan swallowed.
Who is in the bathroom? Tanisel?
Why did he bring himself here? Isn't it a detailed physical examination, report and interview, and then send him back to the forbidden city?
When he was hesitating, suddenly the sound of water stopped. Ethan hung his heart.
When Tanisel came out of the bathroom, only a bath towel was wrapped around his waist, which wrapped the narrow and tight waist and abdominal muscles, and outlined the firm buttocks. Wet drops of water dripped from the tips of the slightly curled blonde hair, landed on the white and strong chest muscles, and slid down the attractive forbidden fruit.
Ethan felt hot on his cheeks and dry throat. He quickly turned his eyes away and cleared his throat, "This is your house?"
Tanithel wiped the tousled blond hair on top of his head with another towel while replying normally, "Yes."
"Why? What about other inhumans?"
"You're welcome."
"what?"
Tanisel stopped wiping his hair, raised a corner of his mouth, teasing, "Don't you thank me for saving you?"
Ethan rubbed his nose.
At this time, Tanithel made another amazing move. First, he flung the towel for wiping his hair to one side, and then casually pulled away the bath towel around his waist, revealing two straight and slender legs and... The organ that once conquered his entire body.
Ethan's eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, and after three seconds, he hurriedly turned around pretending to be nonchalant, and studied the starry sky projected on the wall with interest. He raised his head slightly on purpose, fearing that it would be too embarrassing to accidentally leak a nosebleed.
"You are probably too nervous. You did not eat or drink for nearly two days. You fell asleep on the road and couldn't wake up. I personally performed a full-body examination on you. From the results, you have no signs of infection. , There is no significant change in your body, except for a few bruises on your face and body, there is no particularly serious injury." Tanithel seemed to ignore Ethan’s embarrassment, or deliberately pretended not to see. While talking, she put on a dark red silk nightgown, and the soft silk material dangled down the curve of her body, and I was full of thoughts on the night when she was on the mother ship.
On the one hand, he was intoxicated in his mind, and on the other hand he was slapped in the face. Can you be clear in your mind? There are more important things to ask now, don't just watch the beauty drool...
"What do you...want to get from me?" Ethan asked, clenching his fists, as if suddenly made up his mind.
Tanisel didn't seem to expect Ethan's next question to be this, and raised his eyebrows slightly unexpectedly.
Ethan pursed his dry lips, and pushed his glasses a little nervously, "At first, on the boat to Red Earth, it was obvious that you were more interested in Samus. Why did you post that conversation on Red Earth? Suddenly became interested in me? I know we had one night, but I believe that for you is just getting what you need. I can't think of any reason for you to rush to the tenth station to rescue me."
