Although it was not the first time he had entered this world, when he saw the depression and the mess, Bering still vaguely felt uncomfortable.

There are stumps and broken arms everywhere, and the occasional blood splatters on the walls, rendering the original grayish-white, age-old walls into the walls of hell in the movie. Aside from the absence of flames and bull's heads, everything else is basically the same as hell.

This is the narrow world in which the Pale Lady lives.

Gently pulling his scarf, Bai Ling glanced at Han Qianqiu beside him.

As he expected, the girl did not show any disgust or displeasure at all when she saw this scene, and still looked at Bering like a robot, blinking her eyes, and her pure eyes were more indifferent than innocent.

In terms of personality, Han Qianqiu and Lin Qi are actually a little similar, but the difference is that Lin Qi's "coldness" will make you feel that this is just that she doesn't care about people, in short, she doesn't want to talk and is too lazy to deal with other people, so she has a straight face.

And Han Qianqiu is really indifferent.

During the time spent with her in the past few days, many people can be said to have fully understood Han Qianqiu's eccentric character. She has a bizarre perspective and outlook on all sorts of things, and is very pessimistic. When the others were in high spirits, she probably shrank into her own small space, quietly playing with a toy with a broken hand, with no intention of participating in the excitement.

And she also doesn't like to express her own opinions and opinions, which leads to the fact that most people who know her can't get used to her when they get along with her.

After all, when people are happy, they are stared at for a long time by a look that can almost be called "inorganic" next to them, and they don't answer when they ask her, and it is estimated that their scalp will be a little numb.

However, unexpectedly, she and Bering have a good relationship.

This is probably because Bering is the only person who can understand her condition even without having to talk to her.

Qi Guang could only barely do this, and he relied on the accumulation of time and in the long-term relationship and communication, common-sense guessed Han Qianqiu's thoughts.

But Bering is different.

On the first day of contact with Han Qianqiu, he was already able to accurately know her current intentions, what she wanted to say, and what actions she would make.

Therefore, although Han Qianqiu can't get along with many people, he has a very good relationship with Bering. It's like seeing her for the second time, and I'll play with my toys for Bering.

This is probably something that Qi Guang is quite envious of.

But it can't be helped, this thing can't be envied.

Who made him not have the ability to predict the future, and not be able to learn her thoughts and concepts from Han Qianqiu in advance?

Therefore, the ability to predict in interpersonal relationships is simply a "BUG" level of the killer, anyone with such an ability can do what they like, when communicating with other people, it can definitely create a very comfortable environment, a few words can bring two people closer......

After all, predicting the future is equivalent to talking to "you" in the next second, and then paraphrasing this sentence to "you", which is essentially a communication between yourself and yourself, and there will be no loss of information at all, let alone unpleasantness.

It was very convenient and very pleasant.

Thinking so in their hearts, Bai Ling and Han Qianqiu glanced at each other.

After a while, he pointed to the ground under his feet and said to Han Qianqiu, "Do you have any impression of this place?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Han Qianqiu tilted his head, first glanced at Bering, and then squatted down to stare at the blood and dirt on the ground.

Pulling the broken thigh next to him with his fingers, Han Qianqiu raised his face and whispered to Bering, "Familiar." ”

Relatively familiar, but don't have any specific memories?

Listening to the girl's answer, Bering bowed slightly.

He rubbed the girl's head, not too lightly, almost ruffling her hair, turning the braids that had been braided by Lin Qi into a little scattered.

However, Han Qianqiu didn't have any opinion on this.

She just squinted, shook her head like a cat, and didn't say anything.

Retracting his hand, Bering continued: "I heard Qi Guang say that you were once adopted by a xenomorph in the past? ”

"Who's that xenomorph?" He looked at Han Qianqiu, "How is it now?" ”

Han Qianqiu's eyes flickered slightly when he was asked this question.

This kind of question, which was almost like a torn wound, didn't make her mood change drastically, but fluctuated slightly, as if she was recalling something not so good.

Bering was mentally prepared for this.

Although he was able to predict the answer from Han Qianqiu in advance, no matter what, it was better for her to say some things by herself.

And Han Qianqiu doesn't seem to have any resistance to this, not like Qi Guang described, "there is a deep psychological shadow".

Bering had reservations about this.

It may be that Qi Guang can't understand the child's thoughts, and he feels that the painful things are not a big deal in Han Qianqiu's eyes; It could also be ...... At that time, Han Qianqiu was already as emotionally extreme as now, and this performance made Qi Guang misjudge.

In short, no matter what, this kind of thing is better for Han Qianqiu to say it in person than for her to hold it in her heart for the rest of her life.

And Han Qianqiu said without surprise: "I don't know. ”

She thought for a moment, and her tone was a little dazed: "Who she is, I don't know." Even if it's Qi Guang, I don't know. There are also no archives, everything is not known. ”

She ...... It's very weak, Qi Guang can solve her in two clicks," Han Qianqiu said, "But she gives me a very strange feeling, very strange......"

"I don't even feel like she's dead."

Speaking of this, Han Qianqiu was silent for a moment.

And Bering followed her silently.

Because Bering knew what else she had to say after that.

Sure enough, soon, Han Qianqiu spoke again: "That person occasionally says something I don't understand, what 'death', what 'soul', or ...... 'key'. ”

"Even before she punished me, she would hold my face and say things like 'I am an irreplaceable treasure,'" Han said, "and she made me feel ...... It's contradictory. More than any other person, contradictory. ”

"It's like...... There are many people who are the same on her. ”

Han Qianqiu struggled to organize the language: "Something like a collection, a hive, a gem, and like a ...... It's like ......"

She seemed to be struggling.

Something was about to be blurted out, but there was no way to say it anyway.

This feeling is really uncomfortable, and this is the case with Han Qianqiu now.

She lowered her head and struggled to sift through her barren vocabulary, struggling to tell Bering what she was feeling, but she couldn't articulate it in any case.

Just when she was struggling.

In the next second, Bai Ling patted her head: "If you can't think of it, forget it, and think slowly when you have time in the future." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look in front of him: "Now that's the point. ”

Han Qianqiu followed his gaze.

At this moment, they had come to the road that led to the cafeteria.

At the end of the road, they could clearly see a tall, thin figure. The figure was wrapped in a gauzy white garment, like a shadow in the air, hovering over this dead land, never leaving.

After noticing that figure, Han Qianqiu's eyes were slightly stunned.

Soon, a hand pressed on her shoulder: "Doesn't it feel a little familiar." ”

Bering stared at the figure: "This is the Pale Lady, or rather, the phantom of the Pale Lady. ”

"All people who enter this world will be the first to encounter such a guy," he said lightly, "If you don't prepare in advance, you will probably be scared by this guy." But in fact, this thing is not a living thing, but a prosthesis made by the Pale Lady herself, which is used to inspire the fear of others. ”

Taking two steps forward, Bering followed the cadence of the figure and said nonchalantly: "If you can walk behind it, you can find that it is a sticker at most." It's like something in a horror game that pops out of nowhere and scares you doesn't do you any real damage, and the same goes for that kind of thing. It's just meant to scare you, and there's no harm beyond that. ”

"But that's enough, after all, it's easy for humans to behave irrationally in a frightened state," as he said, Bering turned his head to look at Han Qianqiu, "Of course, you're not scared, are you?" ”

Han Qianqiu looked at Bering.

Then he nodded slowly.

The two of them walked through this white figure wordlessly, and when they passed through its body, Han Qianqiu noticed that the ghostly ghost in front of him, which looked quite scary, looked quite thin from behind.

It's not much different from a piece of paper, but it's farther away before, so it looks more three-dimensional and concrete. When I got closer, I realized that this thing was just a paper tiger.

Passing through the middle of this white shadow's body, Bai Ling took Han Qianqiu to walk quickly on this road.

Compared to the previous detour between Brother Long and Song Qingci to go to the battle hall, this road is much faster.

It's direct.

Walking in silence, it wasn't long before they saw the arched building in the distance, and the door to the building that had been opened.

Unhindered, they reached the final core of this world, the location of the Pale Lady.

As the master of this world, of course, where the Pale Lady is, where is the core.

Before they could enter the hall, the two of them heard Song Qingci's smiling voice coming from inside: "...... Is this a dragon? Interesting? ”

"Your preparation is a dragon?" Song Qingci said, "Or is that guy only going to this extent at most - sacrificing this artificial dragon to pave a shortcut to the 'origin' for you?" ”

"If that's the case, that's a pity."

Song Qingci said happily: "After all, soon, this dragon of yours will be famous." ”

Moments later.

In the room, Brother Long ...... Or rather, the Pale Lady's voice was cold: "This is your decision?" Intend to use this tactic to completely cut off my path? ”

Faced with the pale lady's question, Song Qingci said with a smile: "Of course it's not just that. ”

"However, I don't think I need to explain the rest," she clapped her hands, "after all, the show that reaches the end should have a bit of an ending, and it's not good to be too childish." ”

Amid her applause, Bering's footsteps echoed in the empty corridors from far and near.

Hearing this, the pale lady suddenly turned her head and looked at the door of the hall.

Song Qingci also smiled and looked in that direction.

It didn't take long for Bai Ling to step on the fog and come in through the door, and at the same time nodded to Song Qingci on the stage.

And Song Qingci also smiled and bowed his head.

"Then it's your time," she said, "and let our sleeping little girl wake up." ”

The voice fell.

In the next second, Song Qingci, who was still standing on the podium, shook his whole body slightly.

As if she had lost her support, she was straight to the back.

Just as she was about to hit the ground, a gray mist enveloped her body, lifted her back to the round table, and lowered it gently.

Everything is as seamless as a program, without the slightest deviation.

Holding Song Qingci, Bai Ling turned his head to look at the pale lady.

At this time, the pale lady was still using Brother Long's face, which made her gloomy expression slightly happy.

It's like a wooden face that suddenly appears with some cute patterns of cats, highlighting a violation.

"You are...... Prophet? She whispered.

Bering smiled and looked at the pale lady: "Yes, good afternoon, ma'am." ”

The pale lady stared at him for a moment before withdrawing her gaze: "It seems that you are fully prepared before you choose...... Well?! ”

Soon, the moment she looked away, her eyes widened!

The moment she glanced at Bering's side, the Pale Lady suddenly let out a scream: "It's you!" You've been here!! ”

Following her line of sight, Bering could clearly see who the Pale Lady was staring at right now.

And Han Qianqiu, who was staring at her closely, also knew that she was being watched by the "photographer" who looked a little familiar in the distance.

Faced with such a look, Han Qianqiu subconsciously grabbed Bering's collar.

And Bai Ling also rubbed her hair, and said with a smile: "It seems that you don't need my reminder to know what kind of reaction you should make now." Very conscious, not bad. ”

The Pale Lady ignored Bering's sarcasm.

She just stared at Han Qianqiu, her voice getting sharper and sharper: "I've been looking for you for a long, long, long!" Even though the prophecy tells me that I will meet you again today, I can't wait, I can't wait. ”

Stretching out her hand, the pale lady said to Han Qianqiu, "Come on, come to me!" Let the separated us be completely united into one, and let us become the real 'death'! ”

"I know you're also pained by your sense of being lacking. Even your pain is above mine, for you are alive and dead, yet you are human ......"

The pale lady's voice gradually became softer: "Yes, I can understand you, you are not without feelings, but this emotion is suppressed. Now you are like a congenitally blind person who has just gained vision, at a loss for the frenzy of colors around you, and completely unable to appreciate the beauty of the world in other people's mouths. Yes, I understand you, and only I can understand you......"

"So, come on, become one with me," she said sincerely, "we are all regrets that are missing, but when we are united, we will become real beings, and we will truly feel the feelings of other people." Isn't that why you subconsciously moved closer to me......"

"We're the same!"

Facing the pale lady with an increasingly distorted expression.

Han Qianqiu didn't say anything, just looked at her silently.

The two men looked at each other like this, one with restlessness and madness, the other with the indifference of inorganics.

In the midst of such eye contact, the pale lady seemed to be enraged.

She whispered irrepressibly, "What are you thinking! What are you thinking! Are you content with the status quo, are you corrupted by your human identity?! ”

"You should be a monster who takes pleasure in eating and torturing people! You deserve to be so, because you and I are of the same root, and we should think the same thing! Her business sharpened again, "But now you're like this, you're like this!" ”

"Do you not want to live in the true sense of the word, and you don't want to get rid of the pain of being half vacant? When you touch your chest, don't you feel uncomfortable with the emptiness?! No, you should be the same, it's just that you are pretending and hesitating, and your human identity has restrained your desire to pursue your nature, and has completely turned you into this nondescript appearance! ”

"Come with me, you just have to experience it and you will be able to know the full meaning. In just one moment, we can get a completely different ...... in life."

In the Pale Lady's almost pleading voice.

A pair of hands pressed on Han Qianqiu's head.

Bering gently rubbed her head while looking at the pale lady.

"It's useless," he said calmly, "no matter how much you tempt her, there's no point. ”

"She's not as repressed as you think, but she's literally blocked," he said, "and she's emotionally devoid, unfluctuating, and never experienced your so-called 'wholeness,' so naturally dismisses your appeals." ”

Looking at Bering, the pale lady fell silent.

A few seconds later.

She writhed suddenly, and her whole body swelled almost to the point of indescribability.

It's like a butterfly's graceful posture gradually expanding, and the flesh of the limbs is swollen to the point where it is difficult to see directly, and in just a blink of an eye, the original human male has become a disgusting monster covered in muscles!

Now, the Pale Lady has finally lost her previous sanity and calmness, and has become her original form!

"I understand, I finally get it!"

The pale lady screamed, her voice full of remorse and resentment: "It's you, it's you!" Steal half of my body and turn her into this! ”

"You're afraid, you're afraid I'm going to be the 'origin'! That's right, everything is you, it's all your conspiracy! ”

"You gave me hope with what you called 'prophecy', and then you used that prophecy to shatter my hope completely. Yes, everything is your plan, you are deceiving me, you are mocking me! Everything is part of your plan, it's your greed! ”

"I used to believe in you so much that I thought you were our only salvation and light, and I was even willing to give my life for you. But you're manipulating you with false hope and trying to get me to pave the way for you...... It's all your conspiracy, I get it, I finally get it! ”

“&*￥B￥（！”

A string of words seemed to be silenced from the pale lady's mouth, with a chilling deep breath and a chill that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

The name seemed to be able to stir up the air around it just by saying it, so much so that it had to be twisted, misinterpreted, and finally become part of the anomalous shape of the world. It's like pumping out the firewood under the boiling water before it boils, suppressing it and never letting it boil.

In the midst of the silent roar, the Pale Lady's body grew stronger and stronger.

This is even more spectacular than the previous red spiders.

And all the muscles on its body were strangely white, just like Bering's complexion, without any other color.

It just howled, howled hoarsely.

And Bering stood in place, protecting Song Qingci and Han Qianqiu behind him.

"Looks like that's what you are," he whispered.

"Really...... It's ugly. ”
