Walking in the secret passage, Kaguya subconsciously pinched the jade pendant in his hand, as if holding it in his hand could bring him a little sense of security.

It was hard for her to imagine that there was such a more secret passage under such a hidden base.

Glancing at Kaguya next to him, the Prophet, or Bering, didn't say anything.

In fact, he was still thinking about it, thinking about something.

'Jianyu's severed arm is not suitable for Kaguya's body no matter what,' he frowned, 'on the one hand, her personality is more complicated, and on the other hand, once the news spreads, she will definitely not be able to stop the crazy Nine Divine Cults. ’

Although it is not clear why Jianyu's severed arm was not accepted by the countermeasures bureau, Bering felt that it would be better to have this thing in his hands if necessary.

Especially if the "Hyakki" of the island nation will really go to the "Shinkai......

Then Jianyu's broken arm is even more important than the original.

As the "martial god" in the mythology of the island country, Su Zuo no Nan can be said to be born with a deterrent effect on the ghosts and spirits of all island countries. You must know that when the "Suzuo Trouble" happened, there was no native alien species in the island country around the crazy god who dared to approach.

Except for the "Yaki Orochi", a xenomorph that is not afraid of the man of Suzuo in the origin of the legend, most of the xenos born in the island country will be shocked by the momentum of the man of Suzuo and greatly weakened in strength.

And the "Hundred Ghosts" is precisely a heterogeneous alliance composed of the vast majority of the native aliens of the island country.

Just like the Nine Divine Cults in China, the "Hundred Ghosts" in the island country are also similar organizations. It's just that compared to the group of cultists of the Nine Gods and the group of anti-humans of the "Human Watch", their danger is not very high.

But that doesn't mean they're opponents to be completely ignored.

Since it has been able to gain a foothold in the island country, then of course there is something special about it.

If the "Hundred Ghosts" really landed in Xinhai City en masse, then the countermeasures bureau might really have to work a lot of effort. If it can be solved in advance, then it can be regarded as reducing the burden on the countermeasures bureau and yourself.

But how should the "Hyakki" be able to bypass the eyes of the countermeasures bureau and dive all the way from the island nation to the new sea?

Thinking of this, Bai Ling couldn't help frowning.

If the last time the "Human Watch" relied on strong penetration and used almost all of its internal responses in the committee and Yanxia Mountain, it was barely able to transport xenomorphs of the level of "Piercing Male" into it, then how can the "Hundred Ghosts" send them into this place by themselves this time when the countermeasures bureau is eyeing the country......

Or is it true that the "hundred ghosts" are not the only ones who come here.

At this point, Bering suddenly remembered a guess he had before.

That is, the meteorological disaster in Xinhai City this time may not be purely due to weather factors. Perhaps, after that, there was some powerful xenomorph that caused this "catastrophe"!

'It is definitely impossible to be a god-level monster with similar abilities,' Bai Ling's eyes flickered, 'There are not many god-level xenomorphs now, not even more than a handful of them. None of these gods can travel to Shinkai at the moment, which means they should be other types of xenomorphs. ’

And at this time, there seem to be only a few monsters with great power.

"Red Spider", "Witch", "Rip Girl", "Emperor" of Western Europe, and more......

The second "Pale Lady" to be promoted to "Origin"!

Several names flashed through his mind, and Bai Ling's face was solemn as he walked through the dark passages: "If it is a pale lady, then it is really possible for a hundred ghosts to infiltrate." ’

As an "origin", the Pale Lady is far more mysterious than all other "origins". Red spiders still have core news and clues, witches have also been sneak attacked by humans, and "Rift Girl" is also rumored to be promoted by witches and become "origins", although there are many mysteries about these levels of xenomorphs, but there are more or less traces to follow.

However, "Pale Lady" is a real blank.

In the future, there will be witches, red spiders, rift girls, and the archives of the army, but there is no "Pale Lady" file.

The appearance of this xenomorph is a complete mystery, and it is not known who it is related to, and it quickly disappeared soon after its debut, unlike the Red Spider occupying Morrowind and the Witch occupying Yanzhou, Ms. Pale is like evaporating from the world after being promoted to "Origin", except for the speeches and occasional traces of some xenomorphs, her existence even has to be marked with a "question mark".

To put it bluntly, Ms. Pale has the least information of any xenomorph known to Bering. If he really encountered that monster, Bering wouldn't dare to pack a ticket, and he would definitely be able to deal with her.

As the "origin" of the future, even if she has not yet reached that position, the pale lady at the moment is definitely not inferior to the "disaster" of the red spider.

The red spider Bering can't even kill her, let alone the pale lady who doesn't know anything.

In contrast, the witch is simpler and easier to deal with.

Thinking of this, Bering stood still in front of a room.

Kaguya also subconsciously stopped because of his movements, and looked at Bering's side face, as if trying to see what he was thinking now.

However, how could Bering let her know what she was thinking.

He just unscrewed the doorknob, then turned his head to look at Kaguya, "Come in." ”

"The 'friend' we need to find is here now."

After saying this, he walked into the room with a steady step.

Glancing at the secret passage behind him, Kaguya subconsciously gritted his teeth, followed Bering into the room, and then closed the door with his hand.

The environment inside the door was a little messy, the overhead light refracted the dim light, falling on the ground like the orange neon lights of the metropolis, hazy and dreamy, stepping on the light as if stepping on the light as if stepping on the light dust, scattered in the air into a surging halo.

Kaguya subconsciously covered his nose, perhaps thinking that such an old room would bring some dust, although the brain knew that it was useless, but the hand was still a little faster than the brain.

Bering, on the other hand, didn't care, and walked directly into the deepest part of the orange halo and stood still in the shadows in the corner.

His eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had noticed something, and Bering, who had just stood firm, staggered back half a body again.

In the next second, the protruding bone spurs pierced from the shadows, as if the arrow that had broken through the great sun, tearing through the orange halo and piercing the gap next to Bering straight, with a sharp sound of breaking the air!

If Bering hadn't turned his position sideways in advance, he would probably only have one eye left.

Turning his head to look at the arrow that was deeply seared into the wall behind him, Bai Lingtang said with a smile: "I am relieved to see that you are still so energetic." I'm also worried that the environment is a little bad, and it will make you feel uncomfortable. ”

"Miss Midori."

The words fell, and Kaguya could see clearly who was lying there in the corner where there was no light.

It was a woman leaning against the wall, with loose and unkempt hair, wearing a sick-like white striped shirt and baggy pants that fell to the ground. A silvery metallic sheen could be seen on her wrist, as the light was so faint that Kaguya could barely make out what appeared to be some sort of intricately textured handcuff.

Right now, the woman was being clung to the edge of the wall, and although her face looked normal, there was a monstrous anger in her eyes. And the object of this anger happens to be the person next to Kaguya.

Looking at Bering, the woman named Lu Qi said word by word: "I'm going to kill you, I'm definitely going to kill you!" ”

Listening to her voice, Bering chuckled.

He pulled out a chair from the side and sat on it, leaning forward slightly while folding his hands on his knees, looking at Midori condescendingly.

Facing Lu Qi, Bering's eyes were full of a sense of oppression like steel.

"You madmen of the Nine Cults of God are really similar," he said calmly, "Qingguang said this, Blue Sky said this, and now you say the same line to me. ”

"I don't know if I'm too stupid or a little naïve. I don't know it, but I'm good at indulging my emotions. While flaunting oneself, he is willing to degenerate, arrogant but inferior. Whether it's Red Lotus or anyone else, it's the same, claiming to be the king of the world, but doing stupid things that have nothing to do with it. ”

Bering sighed: "Stupid. ”

Listening to Bai Ling's words, Lu Qi, who was already angry, couldn't suppress her anger even more.

The muscles in her hands were bruised and her muscles began to tremble and churn uncontrollably, making her otherwise delicate appearance a little terrifying - like a mannequin in a medical school, it looked like it had a uncanny valley feeling.

"You killed Red Lotus and imprisoned his bones!" Lu Qi's voice seemed to be squeezed out of between her teeth, "Seal other people's relatives in other people's bodies, and let others defile the remains of the red lotus, don't you have humanity?!" ”

Human nature?

Bering shook his head: "Discussing human nature with people like you who have been twisted out of the human race but use humans as food, either I'm too stupid to eat enough and have nothing to do, or I have other plans." ”

"What's more, who told you that Red Lotus must be dead?"

Looking at Lu Qi, Bai Ling's voice was calm: "Apart from Qingguang, did anyone else tell you that Red Lotus died?" Or do you want to believe in Qingguang and believe in that yin and yang person? ”

"Isn't it clear to you that the other side of the glaucoma has been revived? Isn't it natural for him to want to attack Red Lotus when he recovers? ”

Bering smiled and said, "Sometimes things don't stand up to scrutiny, Miss Luqi. Think about it, before Honglian left, did Qingguang have any special actions? ”

Listening to Bering's words, Lu Qi's movements that were still struggling paused slightly.

She was silent for a few moments, her eyes twinkling, as if she was thinking about something.

After a long time, she sneered: "What are you trying to deceive me?" ”

"Even if it's really Qingguang who betrayed Red Lotus, it doesn't prevent Red Lotus from being dead."

She looked at Bering and said coldly: "Or do you want to tell me that Honglian is not dead, but that you are put in other people's bodies like pets, similar to humans raising cats and dogs?" ”

sneered, Lu Qi's eyes were as cold as ice: "Save it, I'm not without judgment, I know that guy Qingguang, not to mention Blue Sky." ”

As she spoke, her eyes stared at Bering, and the atmosphere was a little anxious for a while.

And Bai Ling said in a surging voice: "That's right, you can say that the consciousness of the red lotus has dissipated, but you want to say that the red lotus itself is 'dead', which is somewhat arbitrary." ”

"Although Red Lotus's consciousness has escaped, it doesn't mean that there is no way to resurrect him," Bering said, "in fact, Red Lotus's remains are still alive and extremely intact. ”

As he spoke, he pulled out a test tube from his pocket, pulled the lid of the test tube, and exposed the red liquid inside to the air.

Under the orange light, the scarlet in the test tube became more and more dazzling.

Lu Qi stared at the red test tube, and the expression on her face gradually became sad.

"It's a part of his body," Midori's eyes were slightly red, "I could feel that it contained his flesh and blood. ”

"It's not enough for you humans to just use his power, you even have to strip his flesh and blood and refine it into this kind of thing."

Lu Qi's voice became more and more indifferent: "It looks like you are the real monsters. ”

Hearing this, Bering shook his head: "This is not humane or inhumane, this is your life-and-death struggle, and the struggle will inevitably lead to death." However, I am not here to discuss human nature with you this time. In fact, I just wanted you to take a look. ”

Pinching the test tube, Bering spoke: "I can tell you that the corpse of the red lotus is still full of vitality now. You should also know this, the activity level in this tube of potions is almost no different from that of Red Lotus alive, which means that his current wreckage is very healthy and has even formed an internal circulation. ”

"What's the use of that!" Lu Qi said loudly, "His consciousness is gone, gone!" Even if the body is still active, just like you human vegetative people, there is no possibility of waking up! ”

Casually stuffing the test tube lid into his pocket, Bering said softly: "No, there is a precedent for vegetative people to come back to life." ”

"What's more, Red Lotus's condition is not similar to that of a vegetative person, although his consciousness has completely dissipated, but your life form is not similar to that of humans. You are monsters, anomalies twisted from human consciousness and legend. This means that the likelihood of resurrecting you, although very low, is not impossible. ”

Looking at Bering, Lu Qi's voice was a little angry: "Yes, it's not difficult. But after the resurrection, will you be completely you?! A small difference can make a person completely different, how do you make sure they remember everything! ”

Before Lu Qi could finish speaking, Bering interrupted him: "Of course I can guarantee it." ”

He pulled back his red scarf and said to Midori, "Look. ”

"I'm the one who died once, and now I'm better off than anyone else," his voice said with a smile, "I think a living corpse should be resurrected more easily than a dead corpse anyway." ”

Looking at Bering's body, Lu Qi was slightly stunned: "You...... You're really dead?! ”

She said incredulously, "I thought you were just in a special situation...... So you're really a corpse?! ”

Bering smiled noncommittally.

"No matter what, Red Lotus is not without hope of resurrection," he looked at Lu Qi, "What's more, although Red Lotus's consciousness has dissipated, it has only dissipated in 'this world'. ”

"After the escape of consciousness, he returned to the origin of your birth!" Bering said, "The concept of death has not yet appeared in that place, which means that his consciousness has not completely dissipated now, but is still wandering in the land of your origin!" ”

Glancing up at Lu Qi, Bering said word by word: "And if you want to bring his soul back, you must go to your place of origin!" In other words, there may still be a possibility that Red Lotus's consciousness is still alive in that place...... Survive in the 'Abyss'! ”

Abyss......

This name seemed to make Lu Qi think of something, and made her originally angry have some haze of the lake.

"I remember the name," her voice was like a dream, "that is the root, the place where everything is produced, and the soil of all the world......"

Before she could finish speaking, Bering said calmly: "And now, the only person who can go to the abyss is me. ”

"Whether it's the Nine Divine Sect or other organizations, they can't be said to know nothing about the Heavenly Abyss, but they also know very little, but I'm different."

Bering smiled and said, "I am a 'prophet'. I know about the ...... of the abyss All! ”

"Whether it's your rules or concepts, or even the origin and birth of the Red Lotus itself, I've seen everything about him through these eyes."

Pointing to his eyes, Bering whispered, "So, Miss Luqi." If you have even one in 10,000 hopes, then you should put that hope in me. ”

"After all, I am the only 'dead' person in this world who is still alive, and I am also the ...... in this world The only 'prophet'! ”

Listen to Bering's words.

Midori looked up.

She looked at Bering with a complicated look in her eyes.

Although under Bering's hints, Green Qi had a recent abnormality in his brain, and even began to wonder if he had betrayed Red Lotus. But in any case, it is an indisputable fact that Red Lotus was finally solved by this man.

And now, the man told her that he could resurrect the red lotus......

This made Lu Qi's mood more and more chaotic.

'Should I trust him?' Lu Qi thought in his heart, "What he said was a bit far-fetched, after all, unlike him, Red Lotus's consciousness has completely dissipated......

But if you don't believe him, who can Lu Qi trust?

Who do you believe is likely to bring Red Lotus back to life?

No one.

Death is the only fair messenger in this world, and in the face of the endgame, it will charge anyone the same price - that person's life.

To die is an eternal sleep, a dream that cannot be woken up again, an empty void, a dark sea.

Even the gods end up watching the roots of the World Tree being bitten off by the black dragon under the dim sky, watching the old enemy of fate inject venom into their bodies, and then the weapons fall to the ground, and the corpses sink into the dirt.

Not even a god can escape the fate of them, let alone just monsters.

But now, Bering's state has given Lu Qi a glimmer of hope.

'Perhaps? Maybe this guy is really sure? Although there are many resurrected people in this world, there is not a single person like him who has been dead for a long time and has no impact. ’

Even some old things that have borrowed their bodies to revive their souls are facing problems with bodily functions. They won't live long, they can't be like this guy......

Not to mention, he still looks like a "prophet".

A prophet is a person who has a relationship with "time".

Although death is fair, time may be more cruel and majestic than death.

Thinking of this, Lu Qi couldn't help but grit her teeth.

She's really struggling right now.

Bering also knew that she was struggling.

So he didn't say anything, just let Lu Qi be entangled in place alone.

In his free time, he also pondered what he should do next.

"Now that I know that I'm dead, it doesn't matter if I reveal it to Kaguya. It's better that when she knows this, she will be more and more jealous of me. After all, she was really afraid of death, and if she knew that I was dead, but not completely, I am afraid that she would be even more afraid of me. ’

'And resurrect the Red Lotus?' Oh, there's nothing wrong with my brain. Let's not talk about whether I have a way to resurrect the red lotus, just the resurrection of the red lotus is not good for me. Could it be that I can still let Red Lotus kill Ding Yan and watch the team members I worked so hard to pick turn into a man-eating monster? ’

Bering is not a cerebellar defect, nor is he such a virgin.

Just like Lu Qi will not give up his hatred for himself because of his specialness, Bering will not change his mind because the resurrection of the red lotus is profitable.

Not to mention that the resurrection of the Red Lotus itself would do him more harm than good.

It's just that the current Luqi has nothing else to rely on, but can only rely on Bering.

As Bering said, who else in this world can have more authority to "resurrect" than Bering? Is it glaucom, or is it some other alien species?

Without.

As the only person who has died and lived, and is the only person who has anything to do with "time", Bering is definitely the only guy that Lu Qi can think of and can resurrect the Red Lotus.

So it's a seller's market.

"Time" is the only thing that can overpower "death", and if you really want to revive Red Lotus, then you must rely on "time".

Bering believes that Lu Qi will understand this.

If there is no example of Bering, and he does not show the ability to resemble "time", then Lu Qi may be hopeless, and there will be no compromise at all.

But now Bering is a living dead man in front of her, and he is suspected of possessing the power of a "prophet......

It is probably difficult for Lu Qi to extinguish the slowly sprouting "hope" in her heart now.

If there is no hope, there will be no entanglement, and it is because there is something in the heart that cannot be parted, so it will make people more and more painful.

And now, Bering just pushed Midori forward, giving her a path that looked gray but had no choice other than that.

Regardless of whether Lu Qi chooses it or not, this is the only thing she can pick up. Other than that, the red lotus will die.

It's cruel to think about it like this, not only to hold your brother, but also to hold your brother's right to resurrection......

Hey, I feel like I'm a bit of a villain.

Thinking of this, Bering rolled his eyes imperceptibly.

He wasn't worried about Midori's choice.

Whether it is in the future that he can glimpse, or in Bering's own thoughts, Lu Qi can only choose the only possible path.

Looking at Bering, Lu Qi raised her head.

She said slowly, "You want me to ...... Do what? ”

Her expression was very complicated when she said this.

It's probably the kind of person who has been manipulated but can't tell the outside world, so he can only bear it silently.

Bering, on the other hand, showed a smile.

He pointed to Kaguya next to him: "Become like her and go to the island country." ”

"Then no matter what method you use, whether it's fake death or escape, in short, you won't reveal your identity, and let this girl evaporate among the island people."

Without glancing at Kaguya next to him, Bering said lightly, "After doing all this, you can come back." ”

Kaguya next to him looked at Bering stupidly.

It took a while for her to react: "Wait ......!" ”

And Lu Qi nodded before Kaguya: "Yes." ”

Her voice was very clear, not at all as annoyed as before: "If you don't believe me, you can put something on me, like explosives, or something." Aren't you all like that, submissive and cowering? ”

As if he hadn't heard the monsoon wind, Bering said calmly, "No need. ”

"The future tells me that you won't mess with yourself, and that you're unlikely to abandon this one rope," he chuckled, "and besides, you don't have a better choice, I'm pretty sure of that." ”

Unless you can find a second dead man alive, or a prophet.

There is no need to say this sentence in Bering, Lu Qi herself understands it.

So she could only smile bitterly.

It took a long time for her to continue: "The woman before you, can I bring her with me." ”

"If I'm going to pretend to be a person, then I have to have a microphone that I can trust to contact me and you," she said, "and I think that woman can, at least keep it a secret, and if she is caught, she won't confess me." ”

Bering knew that Lu Qi was talking about the nightingale.

In fact, Midori is the one in Nightingale uniform.

Just as Bering was in a hurry to go to Qi Guang, Bering ordered the nightingale to get rid of Lu Qi.

When he returned to the underground research institute after solving the Qiguang incident, he saw the nightingale that had been wrapped around Lu Qi and was almost about to tie up the woman.

I have to say that the strength of the nightingale is really beyond Bering's expectations.

Even if Lu Qi's personal strength is not outstanding, she is also a different species, and her real level far surpasses that of humans. And the nightingale actually subdued Lu Qi with her own strength, although she also suffered a lot of injuries and looked quite miserable, but she was already worthy of Bai Ling's praise.

Thinking of this, Bering said happily: "Of course there is no problem. ”

"It just so happens that I have an old friend on the island side," he said with a smile, "and he is to blame for this incident, and it just so happens that I also have something I want to ask him for, so that I can save a lot of effort by letting Nightingale go." ”

As a human affected by the Ring of the Tyrant, it is almost impossible for Nightingale to solve the Ring brainwashing on its own.

And if she relies on external forces to solve it, Bering believes that Lu Qi will also tell herself in advance.

At that point, he will be able to control Nightingale remotely, either to kill her or to give her more control.

In short, Bering has a hundred ways to make sure that the Nightingale does not break free of his control, so there is no need to worry about loyalty at all.

Clapping his hands, Bering stood up, "Then the deal is so happily concluded, Miss Luqi." ”

"I sincerely hope that this is the basis for our future trading," he said, "and then please rest well, and then I will arrange the rest of the itinerary for you, and I hope you have a good time." ”

With that, he opened the door and left the room.

Kaguya followed him, the expression on his face a little anxious.

Lu Qi, on the other hand, is alone in a dark room, half of her face is orange light, and half of her face is immersed in deep shadows.

It took a moment for her to move her fingers slightly.

A long sigh followed.

"Red Lotus ......"

-------------

On the other side, Kaguya followed Bering closely, wanting to speak many times and stopping.

And Bering seemed to be completely unaware, just heading towards the exit of the dark passage.

When he could see the lights in the distance, Kaguya finally couldn't help but speak, "You...... Why? ”

She looked at Bering's side face: "Why let that woman ...... Let me fake my death there?! ”

Hearing this, Bering's footsteps paused slightly.

It took him a moment before he turned his head and looked at Kaguya with a smile.

"Why," he said, "I'm looking for an answer." ”

"Maybe it's an omission of fate, maybe it's a deviation of time, in short, this world is so wonderful, maybe a small action at will at a certain moment can trigger a series of reactions, just like a butterfly on the ocean flapping its wings, it can trigger a storm on another continent."

Bering said meaningfully, "I think Miss Taketori probably knows better about this than I do. ”

As the words fell, Kaguya's face became more and more complicated.

And Bering rubbed his chin: "Since I can't go anywhere for the time being, then Miss Taketori will live here first." ”

"Believe me, at least here your safety will be maximized," he said, "and in any case, the things you are afraid of will not be able to get in." ”

"After that, you can go to the 'Heda' lady and get a room, clothes, and a change of clothes from her."

Coming out of the dark passage, Bering smiled at Kaguya, "Then I wish you a good day." ”

After saying this, Bering left Kaguya's side.

He's got a lot of work to do.

If nothing else, the "Pale Lady" ...... Maybe it's the monster who logged into Shinkai.

If it's really her......

Then Bering can foresee that the actions in his imagination may be even more complicated than the original plan!

Touching his neck, Bering sighed.

'Looks like it's going to be a tranquilizer again......

Thinking of this, his face became more and more solemn.
