Regarding the ferryman's requirements, Bering actually had his own decision from the beginning.

The reason why he told her that his choice was difficult was just that he wanted the ferryman not to rush to tie himself up further, and that's it.

You know, although I am temporarily free from the chains on my body at the moment, this is also the handiwork of the ferryman. Bering believed that if she wanted to, she would easily be able to sew the chains she had loosened again.

If that's the case, Bering would be too much of a headache.

The feeling that there was no part of his body that seemed to belong to him before was really uncomfortable, not only because he was not used to it, but also because in that situation, Bering had nothing to do if he wanted to, and he could only be passively wrapped in clothes like zongzi, and only his five senses could work normally.

Therefore, Bering did not want to anger the ferryman and make her tie herself up again.

He believed that the woman would be able to do such a thing.

Although she herself said that she had figured it out now, Bering knew very well that she was on the verge of collapse.

Just as she told Bering herself, in the long wait and self-doubt, the ferryman's spiritual will was greatly destroyed and tortured. And in this case, the goal of "waiting for the fourth person to arrive" became the only sign that could sustain her from further depravity.

It can be said that she has come so far to wait for this time.

Essentially, this can be regarded as a kind of self-restraint, and it has nothing to do with who the "fourth person" object is, but the ferryman expects to use this goal to force himself to his senses.

But in any case, considering the ferryman's condition, it is not difficult to understand that she would have similar thoughts.

You must know that since the third person, "Hermes", came here, it has been at least hundreds of years. And these hundreds of years are only a "very short process" in the mouth of the ferryman, and you can imagine how long she has been in this place and lonely.

As a living being with self-consciousness and thinking, it is already admirable to maintain the lowest level of sanity for such a long time.

It's a pity that what she wants is completely contrary to Bering's own goals.

So Bering will definitely not agree either.

'The ferryman takes the oath so seriously, I'm afraid there's something wrong with it.' ’

Lying on the floor, Bering pondered, 'It's impossible for her to be so naïve as to think that a vow can hold me in place—even a contract in real society requires a contract, let alone this Tartarus, who has almost no one else and has broken rules.' ’

Although he can try to observe with the ability to foresee the future, the devil knows if the vow will be carried over from the future to the present.

Maybe she can use her special abilities to restrain herself from making her vows, whether in the future or now?

For this kind of strong people who are obviously standing at the top of the ecology, it is better not to consider using their own ideas to speculate on their abilities.

This is the most valuable experience that Bering has gained after experiencing the oath breaker.

So after a moment of silence, Bering said calmly: "Please allow me to think about it." ”

Listening to Bering's words, the ferryman bowed slightly: "It's okay." ”

She rubbed Bering's hair: "Anyway, we have time. ”

With that, she stood up and looked out over the plain in the distance.

The titular "lowest end of Tartarus" is not a bottomless pit, but more like a land after the tide has receded. There was mud here too, and the color of the soil was pure red, as if blood had been poured into the dirt and seeped into every inch of the continent.

Other than that, there is nothing to be done with this empty plain.

There was no sun in the sky, but there was a light shining down that allowed Bering to see his surroundings. It seems that the "heavenly abyss" that the ferryman broke through before could not be directly observed, at least for the time being, Bering has not found any clues about that place.

Absolute desolation and depression, this is the original feeling that this land gave Bering.

After confirming that there were no clues in this place, Bering turned his head and looked at the woman standing beside him.

At this time, he realized that the ferryman was unexpectedly quite tall.

Before, because she was sitting, and Bering was tied up and lying on the ground, it was difficult to see her condition. But when she stood up now, Bering was surprised to find that the woman in front of her was more than two meters, and maybe even close to two and a half meters.

Normal people are as short as a child in front of this guy.

Sighing in silence, Bering said, "Has this always been the case here?" ”

Listening to his words, the ferryman glanced down at him.

"Of course," she said, "it has always been, always has been." ”

Looking at the empty sky in the distance, the ferryman's voice was calm: "I can't remember exactly when I was born, but this land has always been this rich red since I came to this place. ”

"And you can't make a difference in the world if you want to."

There was no sadness or joy in her eyes: "This world is like a circular circle, no matter how magnificent the palace you build with the soil here, it will change back to its current state after a period of time - this is an immutable world, time is like losing its proper effect in this world, and the laws of passage have no effect in this place." ”

Well?

Hearing this, Bering's ears suddenly pricked up.

Now he is particularly sensitive to the word "time".

Especially when it comes to this kind of place that is very close to the "heavenly abyss".

Therefore, his eyes flickered slightly, and then he said nonchalantly, "You say...... Time? ”

This question was also raised by Bering thoughtfully.

On the one hand, it is a temptation to see if the ferryman has a certain understanding of his ability; On the other hand, I am looking forward to getting some interesting clues from this guy.

Bering instinctively felt that "time" should not be a secret that could not be said in the ferryman's mouth, otherwise she would not have taken the initiative to mention it now.

Sure enough, the ferryman was quick to give her response: "yes, time." ”

Rubbing her nose, she sighed softly, "Since you are the one who can come to the Abyss, then you should understand what 'time' means to us. This is a shackle, an instrument of torture. ”

"But it's like there's a lack of time," she says, "and time in this place can be very strange, sometimes it can flow very fast with the outside world, sometimes it can be very, very slow." But no matter what, it will eventually return to the 'square one'. ”

"A minute here could be a second or an hour from the outside world. But no matter how fast this time flows, the world will eventually change back to what it was. However, the outside world is not affected by this, so I think that this world may have been abandoned by 'time', or perhaps it was specially created as an island to escape 'time'. ”

Looking at the sky, the ferryman whispered, "Maybe my existence is also the result of someone trying to avoid something." ”

Bering didn't care about her last words.

In fact, he was thinking so much that he was almost bursting his brain: 'This place has a strange law of time?' Completely different from the speed of time in the outside world? What does that mean? You must know that even in the 'Heavenly Abyss', An Jianxiu's shadow has personally mentioned that there is a law of time. It's just that 'time' has recently disappeared, but this does not mean that there is no time in the abyss. ’

But the world seems to be completely different from other places, and why? Is it because this world is special, or is it because the ferryman is special? If the former, then why such a strange position in Tartarus, the place where the Ascending Origin failed; But if it's the latter, then what is the identity of the ferryman, and what impact will she have on me? ’

There are more and more riddles.

He took a breath, then exhaled a long time. In the heaving chest, Bering had a rare flash of rejoicing: 'It's good that I didn't try to use the prophetic power in the first place.' ’

Whatever the reason for the failure of the law of time in this place, it does not affect Bering's ability to use it here, and some unpredictable results may occur.

Whether it's because of the special nature of the place or the special ferryman, it may have an impact on Bering's own safety. This is not the point, the point is that if Bering's body is completely chained to this place, then he will not receive information from the outside world at all.

That's the worst thing.

Because the passage of time is different, this also leads to the time that Bering is currently struggling with and thinking, and it may be months or even years outside.

Just like the "Rotten Ke Man" or "Peach Blossom Spring" in the legendary story, Bering didn't want to meet Ding Yan's grandchildren when he went back.

…… If only they could have children in that crazy world.

Unfortunately, if the passage of time is really different, then I am afraid that the time I have been waiting will not know. ’

Feeling the restraint coming from his limbs, Bering smiled bitterly.

Just when he was going to lie down and wait until the time was right.

Suddenly, the ferryman was slightly stunned.

Soon, the tall woman stood up again, frowned and said, "Strange ......"

"Someone wants to leave the abyss?" "It's been a long, long time since I've seen anything like it, and it's really strange." ”

"It's never been like this before, but my instincts are telling me I have to do it......" she muttered to herself.

Between the words, he left Bering's side and walked all the way into the yellow sand.

After walking a few steps, she seemed to react to something and turned back to Bering's side.

patted Bering's clothes, and she rubbed Bering's head like a child: "Because I haven't met anyone for a long time, I almost forgot about you." Because the world is going to turn around, and there are no other people here, I don't have to worry too much about your safety. ”

"But on the other hand, I'm more afraid that your spirit will fluctuate," she said with a hint of sorrow, "after all, it's hard for me to solve mental problems, and this place is so bad......"

That's probably what she really thought.

It can only be said that because of her own mental problems, the ferryman is instinctively afraid that Bering will become like her.

It's a little bit like I don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past.

So she hesitated for a moment, then reached out and groped deep into her cuff.

Soon, a small orb was pulled out of the pocket on the inside of the sleeve.

Looking at the ball, Bering instinctively wanted to step back.

The reason is simple, this little ball looks very ...... Weird.

It's like being rolled in the mud several times and then fried with breadcrumbs several times, and the balls have a special salty rustic smell on them, which makes people smell a stomach churning.

Later, the words of the ferryman proved this point.

She grabbed the ball and stuffed him into Bering's arms: "This is the body of the second person, I will take it back from the abyss later, and then rub the remaining half of it together to form this ball." ”

"I'll play with it whenever I have time," she said sincerely, "and if you're bored, you can do that." ”

Who's going to do that?!

Looking at this little ball like dirt, Bering felt that he still underestimated the madness of the guy in front of him.

He used other people's corpses as balls to rub, and maybe even rubbed them for tens of thousands of years......

What kind of weird sexual fetish is this?!

After being stuffed with such a gadget, Bering felt that he might have to wash his hands well after he went back.

And over there, the ferryman had to leave after stuffing this thing into Bering, no matter how reluctant he was.

"It's also part of my mission to intercept those who want to come from the abyss to the real world," she said, "and even though this is the first time, my instinct tells me to strike right away." I don't know how long I'll be away this time, after all, time here doesn't necessarily work in the abyss, but I won't let you wait too long. ”

After saying this.

She removed a black weapon from her back.

Bering, who was lying on the ground, looked carefully, and what the ferryman was holding in his hand was clearly a wide and long black sickle!

Such a scythe is somewhat similar to the "black scythe" guy in Western Europe, but its weirdness is far better than that in Western Europe, only the shape is roughly similar to it, just like one is a grandson and the other is an old ancestor.

Wielding this scythe, the ferryman easily broke through the space in front of him.

It's really "broken".

The scythe is like a paper cutter, directly cutting through the space where Bering looks unusual, so simple that one wonders how much technology there is in it.

After carving out this space, the ferryman had no words left, but stepped directly into the distorted space.

After watching the guy leave in front of him, Bering gradually breathed a sigh of relief.

He was finally able to let go of his fists and kicks and tentatively try to use his abilities.

Even if the anomaly is this world, there is a temporary lack of the shackles of the ferryman, and even if something really goes wrong, Bering is not completely impossible to deal with.

It can only be said that when the ferryman is by his side, he is likely to become a one-enemy situation......

With a slight sigh, Bering's consciousness gradually sank, all the way to the vast ocean.

When his toes dotted on the tumbling white foam, Bering had to admit that he did feel a little more relaxed after seeing the scene at the moment.

As I told the oathbreaker before, the existence of "prophets" is indeed too dependent on foreknowledge to some extent......

Feeling the sense of restraint that still existed in his body, he frowned slightly: "Can't you break free even in the sea of consciousness?" ”

What the hell is this chain about?

The form is somewhat similar to the white foam chains in the Sea of Consciousness, but the feeling is slightly different. At least when the white foam chains were wrapped around him, Bering didn't have this feeling that even his limbs didn't belong to him.

And Bering remembered that in the future presented to him by the oathbreaker, when Bering in the past shot his own head, a similar white chain seemed to stretch out of his brain......

It looks like it's more complicated than I originally thought.

Smirking self-deprecatingly, Bering refocused and dived his gaze into the gray-black sea.

After a long time, he finally began to observe the future.

However, at this glance, Bering's eyes couldn't help but become strange.

"So fast?"

After gazing at the vast ocean like a mirror, Bering thought in his heart.

With this in mind, Bering resurfaced above the sea.

He didn't dare to look too far, he just needed to know the specific situation.

Back in the real world, Bering, who was lying flat on the ground, adjusted his facial expression.

After an extremely rapid convulsion of his face, Bering's face, which had been slightly distorted by pain, finally returned to its previous state of being light and windy, and the ancient well was waveless.

Very good.

Nodding his head in satisfaction, Bering thrashed the chrysalis to the side twice, using the only strength he had left to stand up instead of lying on his back on top of the scarlet figure of you.

When all this was done, he was still refreshed.

And it just so happened that next to him, in the world that was originally empty.

A figure staggered in from the outside, as if sitting on a seesaw, and slid in front of Bering with a "sting".

Maybe it was because he didn't control the strength well when he came, if it wasn't for Bering changing his position in advance, otherwise he would have collided with that guy by now.

However, because of Bering's foresight, the figure that suddenly came in did not fall on Bering's body, but fell in front of him.

In addition, the other party was also defenseless when he fell, and the movement of touching the ground was a little embarrassing, so that the guy looked like he was bowing to him now.

"The Point Guard Is Here"

Bering impartially endured the bowing of the other party.

"The timing is just right, just in time for the gatekeeper to leave this void," he said lightly, "and it seems that you are as punctual as ever, and that is a commendable virtue." ”

"Red spiders."

He said, smiling at the guy across from him.
