Ethan sat alone in another empty room similar to before, just like yesterday. Immediately after the explosion, heavily armed soldiers came to surround him, Ballander was taken away, and he was blindfolded, stuffed into a windowless aircraft, and taken directly here.

He never saw another person, and he never left the chair.

He found that he didn't want to sleep or eat. His right hand unconsciously rubbed the place with the emblem on his left chest from time to time, and his eyes were hollow.

Time seems to have lost its meaning to him, he is neither arrogant nor impatient, nor bored. Even the guards who watched him through the camera hole hidden in the wall felt a little bit stubborn.

Finally, the door opened, and this time it was Roland who came in.

Roland was also a little nervous. This was not the first time he saw Ethan, but since Ethan came out of the medical room, he could no longer regard him as the introverted Secretary of the Energy Bureau.

It's just that the bosses thought that he was the most suitable candidate for communication with that terrible mutant creature.

He stood in front of Ethan and smiled at him still charmingly, "Meet again."

Ethan raised his eyes to look at him, then dropped his gaze again, and seriously pulled out a barb on his index finger, "How long will I have to wait? My patience is almost exhausted."

Roland said, "The Ophiuchus Alliance can send you to Black Door, and even help you find the priest named Tanisel. But it will take some time to negotiate with the Third Empire."

"how much longer?"

"It will take another day or two."

"It's been too long." Ethan stood up and looked at Roland calmly, "I'm leaving now. If you don't want to have casualties, please don't stop me."

After he finished speaking, he walked around Roland and walked towards the door, but the moment he passed by, his arm was grabbed. Roland stared at him with deep eyes, suddenly feeling a little tender, "Ethan, I will help you. How do you go without a spaceship?"

I will help you. This is what Tanisel has said to him time and time again.

Ethan looked back at him indifferently.

"So, you were sent by them to use beautiful men?" There was a slight taunt in Ethan's voice.

Roland looked at him seriously and said, "I really want to help you."

Ethan sighed and slowly withdrew his hand. Continue to stride towards the door.

"Are you sincere? It doesn't make sense to me. I will leave now. If you don't help me, you will be my enemy. And you can't kill me."

As he spoke, he reached out and held the door handle. The door was locked. But Ethan's fingertips came out of a lot of black thin lines, twisting into the gap between the door and the door frame, a moment after the door made a sound of unlocking friction, and then opened like this.

Outside the door facing the door were three giant microwave cannons, all of which were in the preheating stage. The outrageous heat wave set off the hair on Ethan's forehead, and the scorching light stabbed Roland a little bit unable to open his eyes. Ethan's figure looked like a grass in front of the three giant beasts, but he didn't show any signs of flinching, and walked forward as if he hadn't seen anything.

Roland's face changed, and he hurriedly closed the door.

At that moment, the three microwave cannons fired at the same time, and the invisible microwave beam burned the seemingly small human skin, and he didn't even use his tentacles to block it. His skin was continuously scorched and twisted, but the countless black squirming things under that skin would immediately repair new muscles and skin. In the invisible fire burning, Ethan didn't even stop as if he couldn't feel the pain. When he stepped out of the shooting range, half of his body was almost burned, leaving only some squirming black tentacles. On the other side was the familiar Ethan's face. The monster that seemed to have stepped out of the fire of hell was only a moment away, and through the fresh flesh, it quickly grew out of it, perfectly blending with the skin on the other side. Ethan's clothes were all burned, but he didn't feel ashamed, and he was still walking forward. Behind him suddenly shot out a number of extremely thick tentacles, like a stern whip over the sky, instantly cutting the three microwave cannons into two segments.

This is a military camp, and there are many heavily armed soldiers standing behind the microwave cannon. At this moment, seeing the naked Ethan walk in slowly, they all stepped back in fear. Ethan glanced around slowly, and said coldly, "Do you want to be infected with the plague on the earth too? Get out!"

"Don't open fire!" Roland had already rushed out of the room at this time and stood in front of Ethan, "Get out of the way!"

After being ordered by the superior, the soldiers withdrew to both sides. Ethan asked as he walked, "Where is Samuel? Bring him."

Roland glanced at him, then suddenly took off his long coat and put it on Ethan, "Give me an hour and I will persuade them to take you to Black Gate!"

Ethan's eyes rolled slightly, and he stared at him, "Are you making me believe in you, someone who has betrayed me three times?"

Roland seemed to be speechless for a moment, and then said, "I know, you don't really want to spread that kind of plague on the earth, and you don't want that terrible thing to kill thousands of innocents in another country. People."

"Innocent?" Ethan chuckled, "I haven't seen a few innocent people in my life."

Maybe there is, he can only think of a Schneider, but he has also been killed by other innocent people.

Looking at the people of the Earth Alliance, each of them has their own dark story, but they are deeply buried, deceiving others and deceiving themselves, those that do not exist. They cheat with their partners behind their backs, quietly report friends who they hate better than themselves, put on another layer of identity in the domain, wantonly attack and abuse others, and even encourage them to die when someone wants to commit suicide. She didn't dare to go home but began to beat his wife and children. They are full of hostility, give them a belief that they can rely on, and they will immediately become the most brutal executioners, under the guise of "morality" to slaughter everything they don't understand.

All of this happened around Ethan every day, but before he entered the forbidden city and experienced everything afterwards, he thought that everything was normal.

Now, he just felt bored.

"Roland, you don't know me." Ethan said, "I have killed a lot of people. I am not a good person, and I am not even a person. So, I can do everything."

The tone of the facts, and the way he kept his eyes unblinking when he spoke, made Roland feel slightly cold. Ethan has changed, changed a lot, maybe this was caused by him alone.

Roland said, "One hour, I only need one hour!"

Ethan looked at him for a while, finally sighed and said, "Okay, I'll give you an hour."

An hour later, Ethan and Samuel really got on the spacecraft heading to Black Gate. Under the intensive negotiations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Third Empire has agreed to enter the country with a small number of soldiers from the Ophiuchus Alliance and is willing to assist in providing information about the crash of the spacecraft.

Ethan changed into clean and comfortable clothes and sat on the soft and wide bed on the second floor of the luxurious room arranged for him, looking at the rotating galaxy in the distance through the transparent wall opposite. He was holding a glass of vodka with ice in his hand, and sometimes took a sip, letting the high-purity alcoholic drink sting the skin in his mouth. He remembered that Tanisel had said that he should be invited to taste Eve's wine, because the wine of the earth is too bad to drink. But in the end there was no chance.

Someone asked to enter the suite, and Ethan agreed. From here, you can directly see the door of the suite on the first floor, and the person entering is Roland.

He raised the whiskey bottle in his hand to Ethan, smiling as calmly and charmingly as before, but Ethan knew that it was just a mask on his face. Ethan put down the cup in his hand and walked slowly down the stairs.

"what's up?"

Roland’s smile can be seen carefully. He put the wine bottle on the bar and took two cups in his hand. “Before reaching the Black Gate Star, I think it’s better to tell you in advance in some cases.”

Ethan stood in place, "You speak up."

Roland handed him a glass of wine, Ethan looked at his smile, and suddenly wanted to ask, "Are you tired?"

Roland was taken aback.

"Is it tired to wear a mask every day?"

Roland suddenly felt that the green eyes staring at him seemed to be able to pierce his flesh, making him uncomfortable. He still maintains his own expression, unwilling to be easily scorned by the "task goal" that he has taken so easily in the past, "Fortunately, sitting in my line, I have not known for a long time whether there is a real self besides the mask accident. Up."

Ethan took the glass and shook the ice cubes in it. He turned around and sat down on the sofa without hesitation, "What are you going to tell me."

"After your ship crashed, Third Empire sent people to investigate. They said that the spacecraft had disintegrated and the parts were scattered everywhere. In this case, it is impossible for people to survive."

"What about the corpse?"

"I didn't find it. Eve also knows, and is sending someone to negotiate with the Third Empire, wanting to go to the Black Gate star to find it." Roland paused, "You escaped from Eve Star?"

Ethan nodded.

"This time if they know that you are going too, I'm afraid..."

"I'm not afraid of them." Ethan's eyes flashed with a cluster of sharp light, "If I can meet it, it will be fine. I still have something to ask them."

Roland originally wanted to show his favor, saying that the Ophiuchus Alliance would protect him, but he didn't expect Ethan to not care at all. He hesitated, and said, "Don't worry, we won't let them move you."

Ethan drank the wine in the glass in one sip, and placed the glass on the coffee table in front of him casually, "I know, you are so responsive because you can't kill me at the moment, and you are afraid that I will infect you with that kind of bugs." . If I’m not wrong, I’m afraid there’s something to add to the glass of wine just now."

His words made Roland's face pale.

Indeed, there is a newly developed neurotoxin in the wine. Although it is not dead, it can be paralyzed. There was an antidote in Roland's pocket, in case he had to take the antidote for half an hour if he had to drink it himself, so that it would be saved.

But looking at Ethan's appearance that nothing happened now, it seemed that he had failed again.

Fortunately, the spacecraft has now left the fifth star. If Ethan decides to infect the entire ship in a fit of anger, he still has time to notify the headquarters to start the self-detonation procedure of the spacecraft.

This is almost a mortal mission.

But Ethan just smiled slightly, with some pity in his expression, "Don't worry, I won't kill you. Destroying the Ophiuchus Alliance is meaningless to me. If you want to try, you can continue, as long as it doesn't interfere with me. That's fine." After he finished speaking, he turned around like this, planning to go upstairs.

Roland felt that he had never received such a blow in his life.

Obviously, he had made plans to go to death generously, but was easily "pardoned" by the unworthy use object before him.

He felt that what he was facing was not a person, but an existence that didn't take him seriously at all and beyond. He finally gave up all his calmness, and his smile fell apart on his face. He grabbed Ethan's wrist and stopped Beta's footsteps so easily. Obviously he still looks like a scholar without the power to bind a chicken, how could he...

"You...what are you!" Roland asked almost gritted his teeth.

Ethan didn't even try to break free, in this position he lowered his eyes slightly, thinking seriously, "I don't know what I am."

"What are you going to do! Do you spread that disease to the entire galaxy?!"

"I said." Ethan said in a patient tone of a naive child. "All I want is one person, Tanisel."

"He is dead!"

"Dead..." Ethan said, his eyebrows slowly gathered a layer of sadness. He slowly closed his eyes, "Even if he goes to hell, I will bring him back."

But at this moment, I suddenly heard the main brain say that Samuel was going in, and there was a very noisy kicking from outside the door. Even through the soundproof door panel, Ethan could still hear Samuel yelling outside, "Ethan! Ethan! Are you all right! I heard that the man named Sean is coming!"

Ethan had just agreed to let the mastermind let him in, and Samuel had rushed in like a whirlwind. Seeing that Roland was actually holding Ethan's arm, he flew over immediately. Roland let go of Ethan and dodged on the spot.

"Ethan! Did he do anything to you!" Samuel stared at the man on the ground. And Roland stared back with a pair of sharp eyes. Mom|Yes, why is this omega more fierce than all alphas he has seen...

Ethan pressed Samuel's shoulders and gave a gentle smile, "It's okay. We are chatting."

Roland got up from the ground, but was embarrassed to accept this sentence. Ethan didn't even mention the poison in the wine, which made him feel more unbearable. He clenched his fists and turned around to leave, but heard Ethan say behind him, "Commissioner Sean, don't forget your wine."

Seeing that man seemed to be a little depressed, Samuel also felt a little strange. He turned to look at Ethan, and looked up and down.

Since he came out of the medical warehouse, he hasn't had a chance to take a closer look at Ethan, but now, he has really changed a lot.

He seemed to have become more calm, and the slender pupils in those green eyes made people feel a little uneasy.

"Samuel, what do you want me to do?"

Samuel nodded. He lowered his gaze and hesitated for a while before saying, "I want to tell you in advance. After going to Black Gate with you this time, I plan to return to Earth. I am afraid that I will be too rushed to tell you. "

Ethan frowned, "Why?"

"My father is still on the earth, and now the plague is raging, I... I don't know what happened to him." Samuel said, pursing his lips, scratching his head very irritably, "I want to confirm his safety."

"But the Earth Alliance is now looking for you. Going back is a dead end."

"Now that the plague is so severe, I just need to be careful, and there should be nothing wrong."

Ethan looked at him and squeezed his shoulder. He laughed, although it was a little sad, "You are right, it is time to go back and take a look."
