The news that Schneider was an omega swept the entire forbidden city almost the next day.

Obviously this news is inaccurate. Ethan knows that Schneider’s main sub-gender is still beta, but obviously in places like the Forbidden City, everyone prefers dramatic results. Even if Schneider has a little omega hormone in his body, he will be immediately said Become a full omega.

An omega disguised as a beta and managed the vicious mobs in the forbidden city for so many years. This recognition made many alpha bosses in the city out of anger. They began to clashed with the guards. In just one week, they carried out martial law three times because of the gang, and killed a dozen inhumans and about five guards. At the same time, Samuel's disappearance made the people he was always following suspicious, and they blocked Ethan at the door of the dormitory one day, asking him to make it clear where Samus had gone.

Ethan faced a group of big five and three thick alphas sweating on his forehead, and had to say that Samuel was sent on a mission, a secret mission.

One of them, the alpha, with tattoos all over his body, didn't buy it, yelling to ask if Samuel had anything to do with Schneider. Ethan knows that the people on Gawen's side have been spreading rumors that Samuel and Schneider had an affair, so they were even sitting. Although few people would believe it on weekdays, when this kind of wall is pushed down by everyone, even if they are pushed by everyone, I am afraid they will be shaken .

With hype in his ears, Ethan suddenly became angry and yelled, "What is the noise! ​​I don't know what Gawen's people are waiting for is now you are in trouble! And this thing is too strange, maybe Chen Zeng The people in the yard are also doing tricks inside. Now that you are making trouble here, it is better to move those things from the construction site as soon as possible. Don't let people find out!"

Although he usually does not directly participate in the private "business" between Samuel and his "brothers", he still lives in a room and knows where the smuggled goods are probably hidden.

A group of alphas were suddenly yelled at by an "omega". Although they were aggrieved, they felt that Ethan's words made sense. The tattooed man stood up first, said viciously, "If you have any news, tell us immediately!" Then he filed away.

Ethan sat loosely on Samuel's bed, scratching his hair irritably. Now he knows very little news, only knowing that Schneider's intersex identity has been exposed. But why was Samuel arrested?

Could it be... Gray Mao knew about the matter between Samuel and Schneider?

Suddenly Ethan shivered, and he felt that he wanted to understand something.

Schneider pretended to be gender and deceived the government for many years, and it would probably reduce 50% of his moral value, and he would not be imprisoned in the forbidden city. But if you add the charge of adultery with a "same-sex" omega, most of it will be the only way to enter the forbidden city.

But why does Grey Mao have to kill Schneider? Isn't it enough to confirm his intersex identity to kick him from the position of chief of guard? Is there any special benefit for Schneider to enter the Forbidden City? Or is it just to humiliate the former boss? According to that abnormal character, this is not impossible.

Ethan felt his jaw and thought hard. Perhaps Gray Mao had already suspected Schneider. He knew that Schneider and Samuel had a close relationship, so he followed Samuel with him. But how could he know that Samus is an omega? Samuel's alpha appearance, unless it is a small probability event like his descendant of the Celestial Star, it is impossible for people to guess for nothing, right?

Could it be...there is an insider?

A name gradually appeared in Ethan's mind, and his heart sank deep underground, suddenly feeling a little difficult to breathe.

He took off his glasses, rubbed his eyebrows, and closed his eyes. Maybe he thought too much, maybe he guessed completely wrong... He really hoped he guessed wrong.

Two days later, he did not wait for Samuel to come, but waited for the mission of atonement, and only read his name.

Ethan's depressed mood suddenly jumped up because of the series of changes that came today. He knew what the task would be. He didn't even eat breakfast, and ran toward the city wall like a stride, attracting many surprised eyes along the way.

It really was a mission to Mars. Probably Gray Mao was busy dealing with Schneider's affairs. This time he was detained by a young guard who didn't deal with much on weekdays. He was collared and escorted aboard a passenger spacecraft to Mars. Probably because of the tight budget, this time the escort did not even separate him from the usual passengers, but instead gave him a window seat, and the guard was sitting outside him to monitor him.

When the passengers discovered that there was an inhumane near their seats, they protested, and many people asked to change seats to other cabins. In the end, those with children around him all moved away, which made him feel a lot quieter in his ears.

He imagined what he could say when he saw Tanisel again. He has too many things to tell him, want to ask him. He closed his eyes and wanted to explore the spiritual connection that hadn't moved for a long time.

However, when he was depressed from the spacecraft and entered the wide elevator to quickly sink into the depths of the red planet, an inexplicable sense of depression gradually permeated from the rock formations that moved up rapidly in all directions.

Why is there still silence in my mind, why has Tanisel not talking to him until now?

The elevator stopped slowly, and two doors shimmering with cold metallic luster opened. Outside is the familiar long trestle bridge, which connects with the nearest tower in the center of the earth. Ethan followed the reception robot in front of him across the long bridge, but did not see Tanisel at the end, but was taken directly into a room similar to the last time.

Ethan's instinct was not quite right. He tried to ask where the robot Tanisel was, but the robot did not respond to his question. The guards behind him stared at him closely, which gave him little chance to ask others. He waited in that room for more than two hours before being taken into the elevator again.

This time they sank more than two hundred layers and dived deep into the hinterland of Mars. In that thick abyss, the bottoms of several tall towers were merged into a silver-gray irregular-shaped building, like a piece of melting white wax. Their elevator descended straight into the hinterland of the building, and Ethan couldn't open his eyes because of the bright light.

When his aching pupils finally adjusted to the light, he saw a tall figure approaching. The height above the average Earth alpha, the pointed ears and the gorgeous white robe all made Ethan feel a burst of ecstasy at first.

But when the line of sight gradually became clear, the joy quickly cooled and condensed.

The long dark brown hair of the visitor was tied behind his head, and the eyes of the same color stared at him with an unpredictable expression. His long robe adorned with purple rims floated along with his steps, and his hand with many gorgeous rings held a long golden scepter.

That was also Eve, but not Tanisel.

That was the chief priest of the Red Moon Temple that I had seen in the communication before.

Ethan stepped back, but the guard behind him held his back with a gun. He opened his eyes to look at the strange and familiar man, and asked, "Where is Tanisel?"

The chief priest lowered his head and looked down at him, his slender eyes seemed to be able to dig into the depths of people's minds. Just looking at each other made people feel uneasy, and wanted to lower his gaze and surrender in the piercing of that gaze.

"Tanisel has stayed in Eve Star for many violations of the temple rules. From now on, I will execute the zero plan." The chief priest leaned down slightly, and the third eye between his forehead opened a thin line. . Suddenly, Ethan felt a strong mental force rush to his eyebrows, and under the sharp pain, there was a disgusting feeling of observation that his mind was being peeled alive.

"My name is Sionier, Tanisel's mentor." The chief priest Eve smiled at him slightly, baring his white teeth.

**********

Ethan didn't know where he was.

It was white everywhere, from ceiling to floor, maybe even the walls. He can't tell where is the wall and where is the ground, nor can he tell how big the space is. The glorious, ultra-modern white super plastic material makes him a little nauseous, especially the uninterrupted white light that makes his eyes hurt after a long time.

He was sitting on a simple swivel chair, his feet were locked together, and his hands were buckled on the armrests of the chair. He tried to break free, but of course he found it in vain.

No one else was seen, not even the guards. Only the chief priest stood not far in front of him.

For a moment, Ethan couldn't determine whether he was awake or in the spiritual illusion created by the chief priest. It's like the fairyland with old red trees and blue ponds that Tanisel created for him.

"Ethan Eldridge. Tell me about your mother." The chief priest suddenly said, asking the first sentence.

Ethan became alert, "What do you ask my mother to do?"

"Curious." The chief priest was slowly pacing around him, and the golden cane hit the ground with an empty echo.

Ethan still didn't want to answer, but the man's monotonous walking sound seemed to be urging, which upset him for some reason. He held it for a while, and suddenly felt that it seemed nothing to say something. After all, the mother is now mostly dead.

"My mother's name is Liliana Shael’zas. Shouldn't you have information about my parents?" Ethan suddenly felt that the situation now looks like he is being interrogated, so he is even more disturbed. The penetrating sight of the chief priest caused a numbness in his body to spread to the surface of his skin.

"Of course we have, but I want to hear your story. That will help me understand your... situation." The chief priest is still pacing slowly. The slow and dull footsteps are the only sound here. People are crazy.

"She is a professor at the Fifth Space Station Conservatory of Music. She is good at cello. She was found to have brain cancer two and a half years ago..."

"It's strange, isn't it." The chief priest paused in his footsteps. "When I asked you to talk about your mother, you were talking about these facts without emotional factors. There is no comment on her behavior."

Ethan frowned, "What do you mean!"

"Tell me, do you think your mother loves you?" the priest asked abruptly.

Ethan wanted to say of course love, but he hesitated for a moment before speaking. Obviously, in front of the Eve people, this little hesitation is enough to explain many problems.

"Are you not sure if your mother loves you?" the priest asked again in an inaudible voice.

Ethan said loudly as if he was angry, "Is there any mother who doesn't love her children!"

"You didn't answer my question directly."

"Of course she loves me!" Ethan yelled, staring at Sionier angrily, "She can sing to make me sleep, she can bake my favorite blueberry pie, she will buy me anything I want, she will take me Go to the playground!" Ethan listed the facts vigorously, as if to prove his argument.

"But she is often away from home?"

"She is very busy and often travels on business tours! Until..."

"Until her adulthood arrived, her body quickly declined."

Ethan felt like he was hit with a dull head. Obviously, this Eve man also knew that Celestial man was similar to the strange growth process of insects.

"So." Sionier suddenly changed direction and began to slowly walk around him counterclockwise. "Do you think your father loves you?"
