Chapter 33: Sinking into the Sea
The moment when Zou Ye broke into Bering's consciousness.
The first thing he saw was the wave of consciousness like a vast sea.
Before he could see the surrounding situation clearly, Zou Ye was directly slapped in the face by a big wave and smashed into the sea.
"Ahem!"
Zou Ye, who was dancing with his hands, tried his best to stay away from the previous wave, and he didn't even have time to think, so he was soon blinded by another wave.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing now?
Although the method of consciousness invasion has only been used twice so far, the residual consciousness of the previous "guilty face" still tells Zou Ye that consciousness invasion should not be what it is now.
Although a person's consciousness is determined by his own personality, spirit, soul, and other factors, in any case, it is impossible to have such a vast sea as it is now!
Who would have thought of the sea, Aquaman?
Zou Ye, who barely struggled to get up from the raging waves, hurriedly used what little will he had left to condense a small boat out of thin air.
As a master of the spiritual realm, it is only natural that Zou Ye will use his spiritual will to create things out of thin airβeven though these creations are weak and closely related to his own soul, and if they are destroyed, his own soul will also be damaged.
But now there is no way, in this turbulent wave, if there is no place to stay, let alone mental damage, Zou Ye is afraid that he will completely lose his spirit and become a demented child!
Climbing onto the boat with all his body full of enthusiasm, Zou Ye stood on the deck, looking at the sea and sky in front of him with fear and horror.
In the distance, the skyscraper waves rose high, the gray-black water and the iron-gray sky were connected, and the white foam was surging like scattered flowers.
Soon, a series of waves surged up with the sea, touching the sky and slamming down to the ground, dyeing the entire space with a lonely gray in the cycle of reincarnation.
Vast expanse, desolate, doomsday.
This is how this ocean feels to Zou Ye.
The boat beneath his feet was jolting almost all the time, and the huge waves crashed against the weak hull, making him a little panicked for no reason.
If you continue like this, you will have to overturn yourself sooner or later!
You have to find a way to escape from this place!
Wiping the seawater in his head, Zou Ye hesitated for a moment, and finally made a decision.
He stood on the deck, sticking his head out of the hull and staring at the dark sea.
I don't know why, when he looks at the sea, he always has a faint feeling of horror.
It's like being in the ocean...... It's like something unknown hiding.,People can't help but want to look away.γ
At the moment, however, there is nothing left to see in this space other than the sea.
So if you want to run out, you have to watch carefully......
With this in mind, Zou Ye tried to widen his eyes, trying to see some clues from the ocean.
Perhaps it was because of his concentration enough, or perhaps for some other reason, Zou Ye seemed to vaguely see something indescribable from the ocean.
It is the foam, the waves that float on the surface, the rust that winds around the chains, the mountains that connect the heavens, the predetermined result of the transient and eternal change......
Is that......
"That's the future."
A voice came from behind Zou Ye: "Or more accurately, the future that I can see." β
Who?!
After Zou Ye heard this voice, he immediately retracted his head and looked back sharply.
Behind him, Bering, who called himself the "Prophet", was standing on the deck, looking at him with a smile.
At this moment, the prophet's attire was almost indistinguishable from the outside world, the same gray shirt and black trench coat.
The fierce sea breeze blew on his body, making the black trench coat on his body rise unscrupulously, like a dignified robe that fluttered with the wind, enveloping the entire iron-gray sky, and dominating everything in the scroll.
The Prophet was looking at him with a pale face, bloodless.
His eyes seemed to have a centripetal attraction, firmly locking Zou Ye's gaze, so much so that he even ignored his surroundings for a while.
"Prophet ......" Zou Ye gritted his teeth, "what the hell is going on?!" β
Faced with Zou Ye's question, Bai Ling just smiled and shook his head.
"What's going on? I think it should not be difficult to understand as long as there is no deviation in the memory block, or no damage to the cranial nerves. β
Bering spread his hands, "The truth is, you invaded my consciousness and saw what was lurking in my consciousness. β
As he spoke, he pointed to the ocean outside the ship: "Let you see, this is the foundation of my ability to glimpse the future - the sea of consciousness." β
"But speaking of which, I thought the Sea of Consciousness would be more beautiful, but I didn't expect it to be so lifeless," Bering rubbed his chin thoughtfully, "Well, it's a very interesting phenomenon." β
Letting Zou Ye into his consciousness was part of his original plan.
This is not a necessary plan, after all, this trip to the abandoned hospital is mainly to turn on the emotional switch of Red Lotus.
But if Zou Ye is a little more bold and broad-minded, then Bering still hopes that the other party can invade his consciousness.
Because he was really curious about his own abilities.
His own ability is based on his own consciousness, so if Zou Ye invades himself, then Bering will naturally be able to enter it.
That's why he held that if he could, Zou Ye had better invade his own attitude, and he was defenseless against Zou Ye's movements.
Originally, he had already seen the future in ten seconds, and Zou Ye would break into his spirit, but he didn't make any movements, just stood in place thoughtfully.
Now it seems that Zou Ye's surprise to himself is even greater than he imagined.
Bering pondered in his heart: "In the past, I used my ability to dive at most, but I didn't expect that after Zou Ye's invasion, I actually went above the surface of the sea, does this mean something?" β
Bering felt that if he could figure out this reason, maybe his ability would change in a new way.
More attempts are needed.
Just as he was thinking, Zou Ye in the distance seemed to be a little frightened.
He leaned against the hull of the boat and said with a grim expression, "What the hell do you want to do!" β
"Are you trying to kill me? Or do you want to do something else?! Zou Ye shouted, "I don't know who you are, but I know that you can keep me until now because I am still useful!" Since I'm still useful, you might as well give me a chance! β
"You want me to kill someone? Or do you want me to be a dog? Either way, my abilities are useful! And I haven't done anything to you, so I'm not evil, and you don't have a physical cleanliness habit when you subdue me! β
When he said this, he did not beg for mercy at all, but as if he was talking about conditions, he had no shame at all.
It's a little upsetting to watch.
Bering squinted at Zou Ye.
"Let's do a little experiment," he thought to himself, "and it just so happens that there's an interesting subject here." β
Bering knew that he could see the future because he could dive into the sea of consciousness, and the deeper he dived, the more he could see.
However, he was curious about one thingβthat is, what would happen to the consciousness of other people besides himself if they dived into this ocean?
If this result can be reached, then Bering feels that he may be able to reveal the tip of the veil of his ability to predict.
And coincidentally, Zou Ye seems to have the ability to "dive".
He can enter Bering's consciousness and is himself a conscious body......
With a flash of thought in his heart, Bering touched the hull of the ship and said with a light smile: "Purpose? β
"My purpose was clear from the beginning."
Looking at Zou Ye, Bai Ling smiled slightly: "I said it, you are the touchstone, the shackles that unlock the red lotus, and the suppressor at the same time." β
Bering's words made Zou Ye subconsciously breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, since it is a "suppressor", it means that it is still useful.
However, in the next second, Bering changed his mind again.
"It's just that now, your role is a little bigger," Bai Ling gently stroked the boat built by Zou Ye's consciousness, "I would love to see how long you can indulge in this gray ocean." β
"Whether I drowned in the abyss of the sea with the tide, or I did my best to float to the surface to get a glimpse of the world, I am very curious."
After all, this is something that the original world itself has not been able to figure out, the nature of the ability to predict the future.
I don't know if Zou Ye can surprise himself?
As he spoke, Bering let go of his hand.
The next second, it was as if some unknowable, invisible power was coming from the sky.
With the sound of Bering's breathing, cracks slowly appeared on the body of Zou Ye's consciousness boat.
These cracks gradually widen until they spread throughout the hull.
This means that the ship is about to be completely shattered!
Wait......
Zou Ye looked at Bering in disbelief.
He didn't think about how Bering did it for the first time, he just thought, what the hell does this guy want to do?
Does he ...... Want to let yourself fall into this ocean?!
At the end of his consciousness, Zou Ye looked at Bering's condescending face, and Bering's smiling words echoed in his ears.
"Let me see if there is anyone outside of this world who can turn back time other than me."
Bering's trench coat was soaked in water and spread out its wings like covering the sky: "I hope you can give me an interesting result." β
"I'll wait with anticipation for your end."
The voice fell.
Zou Ye's last consciousness also sank into the ocean......
-----------
A second after the real world.
Bering's eyes blinked, and he returned to reality.
"Interesting," he bowed slightly, "it is indeed an interesting result." β
I have to say that Zou Ye gave him a very interesting answer.
If he could figure out this answer, Bering felt that he might have mastered a new way to use his abilities.
Well, it was a very rewarding day.
Thinking like this, Bai Ling couldn't help but show a slight smile on his face.
"In that case, let's end it......" Bai Ling said towards Ding Yan in the distance.
And yet the next second.
A voice came from the shadows in the darkness.
"Red Lotus?"
"Aren't you dead?"
As soon as this voice appeared, it directly attracted all of Bering's attention.
Soon, he found the owner of the voice.
It was a person whom Bering had never met, but was extremely "familiar".
No, it's not just Bering familiar.
It is very likely that the vast majority of human beings in the next three years will be extremely familiar with this voice!
Because, he had seen that person in his diary with his own eyes......
"'Catastrophic'...... A xenomorph codenamed 'Witch'! β
Bering looked at the guy in disbelief: "Why is she here now?!" β
