Bering regretted it a little.

I have to admit that just now he still expressed some "surprise" and even "horror" emotions outside.

God knows how dazed Bering was just now.

This feeling was even more startling than Zou Ye's sudden "confession" to himself.

At least Bering knew that Zou Ye would say at that time that it was because he had a brain disease and a rat thrower that he chose to play in a roundabout way, which was a kind of strategy.

"The First Evolution"

But for now, the battle is ......

He really hadn't seen it.

Bering even began to regret why he didn't use his prophetic powers in the first place.

If he had known that the ferryman would say such "tiger and wolf words", he should have observed the future in advance, and then avoided it, and by the way, he was right......

It's a pity that it's too late. In the real world, the ferryman has already made her claim.

Sighing, Bering looked up at the ferryman: "I take the liberty of asking, what is the reason for your request?" ”

Reason?

The ferryman's explanation was quick: "It's simple, because it's too boring. ”

She sat next to Bering and gently pinched Bering's hair, as if there was something on his hair that interested her: "You know what? I've been here for a long, long, long time. ”

"This is the bottom of 'Tartarus,' the closest thing to the abyss," she said frankly, "there is no life here, and I haven't seen anyone alive in a long time, except for those of you who occasionally enter the abyss due to some special circumstances." ”

"Although it is my duty to ferry certain guys into the abyss, I have never fulfilled this duty since I was born. If it weren't for the deepest part of my soul that kept me here, I'm afraid I would have wondered if someone had hinted at me or modified my memory. ”

As if she felt that Bering's hair was not fun enough, she moved her fingers down and rubbed Bering's face: "I don't know how long it has been, maybe hundreds, even thousands?" In short, time has been going on like this. At first, I was able to use a sense of mission to strengthen my thoughts, but this mission, which never came to the fore, later turned into a source of torment. ”

"I'm starting to realize that maybe I'm going to have to go much further into the future to really fulfill my job," she said, "but I can't wait that long, thousands of years is too long, and the thought of how many more thousands, and countless thousands, waiting for me, makes me feel like I'm going crazy." ”

"But I can't go crazy, because the voice in my soul tells me I have to wait. So, I started thinking about having fun. Unfortunately, I can't leave this place, and I can't set my sights elsewhere, so the only thing I can have fun with is you guys who have strayed into the abyss. ”

With Bering's face shaved, the ferryman was expressionless but his voice was gentle: "Do you know how many creatures have ever strayed here?" ”

This question is probably not for Bering to answer.

After all, Bering is also the first time to be here, and it is impossible to know.

But this point gave Bering a lesson.

That's the ferryman, and she doesn't know what Bering is special about for the time being.

At least she didn't know what Bering's abilities were.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be asking herself questions now.

Sure enough, soon, Bering heard the ferryman muttering to himself: "There are four in total." ”

"The first one was a beast-like guy who was sticking to my mission at the time, so I just watched from the sidelines. The beast fell into the abyss, and soon I would not be able to see it. ”

After a long time, a second guy came, who seemed to be of the same race as humans, but somewhat different. I was a little hesitant when I saw that guy, and I was already annoyed at the time, so after hesitating for a while, I finally decided to pull it up. ”

After a pause, the ferryman continued, "But unfortunately, because it was the first time I pulled people out of that place, it didn't work. At the end of the day, I only saved part of that guy. ”

All right.

Hearing this, Bering probably guessed what kind of "miserable situation" the second guy was......

But he's still listening.

Because he knew that soon, the ferryman would have to say the third, the one before that.

Bering estimated that the man himself was quite familiar.

Sure enough, soon the ferryman continued: "And then there is the third, which is much shorter than the interval between the second and the first." I was going crazy, so I desperately needed someone to talk to. ”

"When I saw the guy, I tried all my best and carefully to pull him up. I tried to communicate with him and discuss with him, but maybe it was because he wasn't in the right state, so in the end we just talked for a short time, and he said that he was going to enter the abyss. ”

"I don't care about that, he's just a passerby for me, and it's good to have someone to talk to, whoever it is. But as a reward for being the first to communicate with me, I sent him into the abyss unscathed, and picked him up outside. ”

Listen to the ferryman.

Bering thought to himself: 'Sure enough, this third person is 'Hermes.' ’

Originally, he had a guess, but after hearing the ferryman's words, he was more sure of his thoughts.

At the same time, I was even more surprised.

He really didn't expect that the ferryman would be able to send people into the "heavenly abyss" and pull people out at the same time......

What a terrible power.

You must know that so far, human beings have not even discovered the existence of the Heavenly Abyss, and the vast majority of people have no knowledge of it at all. However, in such a situation, there is such a guy who can go back and forth between the abyss and the real world......

It's a little chilling.

Coupled with the ferryman's words that had been engraved in her soul, all of them made Bering think.

Over there, the ferryman's voice continued: "I thought that communicating with people would relieve my boredom, but I was wrong. ”

"Once you've opened the dusty door, it's very difficult to close it again," she said, "especially for people like us." ”

"The long and ethereal mission, the unpopular world, everything is unbearable for me. So, after a long time after the third person left, I made a decision. ”

She looked at Bering with a gentle look in her eyes: "That is, if a fourth person comes to this place, then I will lock her by my side and let her be my 'signpost' to stabilize my mood." ”

As soon as this sentence is spoken.

Bering, who was still thinking about it, was bad again.

As if he didn't see Bering's mood, the ferryman's voice was a little pleasant: "Fortunately, I met the fourth person today." Originally, I was worried about how long the fourth person would last, after all, there is no food or water in this world, and if the creature falls here, then I am afraid that it will leave in a hurry like the previous person in a few days. But after seeing you, I realized that it wasn't worth paying attention to. ”

Holding Bering's face, the ferryman finally showed his first smile: "Your life form is very special - as a guy who can talk dynamically, you seem to me lifeless. It's a very fortunate thing to be able to stay with me forever, forever, and not leave because of a fragile life. ”

"I'm starting to feel like this moment is my lucky time, and I think that this moment must have been born for me to meet you. That's right, it's probably what 'fate' is, and when I wanted to choose someone to be with me, you came here, and it was the perfect choice—to be able to stay here forever, just like me, without being bothered by time......"

She whispered, "Yes, this moment is for this. This 'fourth choice' is also yours. Everything was as fate had planned, perfect. ”

This sentence is said in Bering, which hurts a little in the brain.

Coupled with noticing the ferryman's eyes looking at him, Bering felt that his skull, which would not hurt before, became even more painful.

In fact, he also felt that it was too much of a coincidence.

Just when the ferryman was looking for someone who could accompany him, she, a guy who fit her perfectly from any angle, landed in the abyss, and happened to be unable to move and could only stay in this place.

It's really like "fate".

However, this is probably the fate of the ferryman, and for Bering, it is probably the "shackles".

Because it's too coincidental, sometimes it's often arranged by people.

Maybe someone just wanted Bering to stay in this place without moving, so they chose this critical time to let Bering fall to this place.

After all, all of these factors suggest that everything is too fit, even a little unrealistically accurate.

It's a pity, though.

Right now, that guy probably doesn't want to listen to Bering's explanation.

Looking at the ferryman who muttered two sentences of "fate" from time to time, Bering felt that no matter what he said at this time, he was afraid that he would be refuted by the other party.

With a sigh, he decided to change his mind.

"I didn't expect you to be human, but you have human-like emotions," he began, "and you can feel lonely. ”

Faced with the Bering problem.

The ferryman stopped muttering to himself for a moment.

She looked at Bering and whispered, "Of course. ”

"Humans feel that immortal species don't feel lonely simply because they have preconceived notions," she said, "and you always say that humans and ants can't understand each other, and people with short lives and people with long lives can't understand each other." ”

But in fact, as long as it is an intelligent life, as long as it is emotional, it will inevitably need to connect with others, and this point cannot be severed under any circumstances. Even if it's a monster, there must be monsters who share the same disease and can rely on each other. Otherwise, it would be too hard to live alone. ”

It can be seen that the ferryman's rhetoric is not particularly good, at least she does not say some philosophical nonsense, but clumsily speaks her feelings according to her own understanding.

This made Bering couldn't help but sigh again.

It was inevitable that he would not be able to stay with the ferryman.

Not to mention how long his own state can last, it's just the mess of the human world, and it will become a mess without him.

So after hesitating for a moment, he continued: "Do you have any special feelings during this time?" For example, what did that person in the past say to you, or did you notice any changes in him? ”

Listen to him.

The ferryman looked at him deeply, with a little complexity in his eyes.

"I know you're trying to get information from me," she said, "and that's the same guy before, always trying to get a lot of special information from me, and you're pretty much the same as humans. ”

Hearing this, Bering just smiled.

He didn't intend to get any interesting clues from the ferryman, but he just wanted to lower her impression as much as possible. It would be great if she could make her feel a little worse about herself.

However, what he didn't expect was this.

The ferryman glanced at him and said slowly, "But it's okay. ”

"You are the one of fate, unlike anything you have before," she said calmly, "and if you want to know, then I will tell you everything, and only if you leave me a promise." ”

"A promise to never leave this place, to stay in this place forever," she said, "and after leaving this promise, I will be able to tell you anything you want to know about, even the most secret information in the abyss." ”

"Tell me, then, what is your decision?"

Look at the ferryman and listen to her condescending voice.

The smile on Bering's face faded.

"That's really ...... A decision that feels a little difficult. He said.
