"What's going on?! Why did Hermes attack you suddenly?! ”

The red spider lying on the passenger seat leaned heavily against the leather seat, while covering its wounds and grinning.

Although this was only a tentative blow, it still allowed the Red Spider to break the defense to a certain extent.

Bering, on the other hand, held the steering wheel firmly and said without looking back: "If I had known, I wouldn't have been so surprised just now!" ”

Now he's really hard to believe.

Obviously, Hermes only discussed with him not long ago, why did the other party directly send someone to chase and intercept him in a blink of an eye, after he went to find Kaguya?

Thinking so, Bering glanced at the bullet hole in the red spider's shoulder.

Although he didn't have a lot of knowledge about thermal weapons, at least he could recognize the white marks that seemed to burn around the circle right now, definitely something that could tear the soul apart.

You know, not long ago he used a similar pistol to give the witch a hard shot.

So now the witch has no objection to this.

She just bit her nails and muttered, "Could it be that she has begun to liquidate now?!" ”

The first object of this reckoning is her "witch" Chrissy Charaktu!

Thinking of this, the witch couldn't help but feel like a numb heart, and even the wind breath used to hide her vision began to flutter, as if some faint fireworks had arrived in the cold night.

Looking at the witch who was already a little uncontrollable, Bering didn't say anything, just stepped on the brakes hard.

Obviously, even with the use of certain means, the witch still has to follow the laws of physics.

Under the effect of inertia, she leaned forward slightly, and at the same time, because she was too lightweight, she fell directly into the arms of the red spider.

"Holy!"

The red spider hugged his "colleague" and "old enemy" tightly: "You are scared out of your guts?? That Hermes is so terrifying?! ”

Before the two of them could finish speaking, Bering directly opened the car door: "Get out of the car!" ”

Without a moment's hesitation, the red spider kicked the car door with the witch in her arms and jumped out of the car!

At the moment when the three people just jumped out of the car, the car directly exploded with majestic heat, making the three people next to the car seem to be in the heat of the earth's crust!

"Damn, what kind of trait bomb is this?! The power of this precise explosion can really be created by a human being?! The red spider dragged Bering in one hand and held the witch in the other, and the spider legs behind him spun rapidly at a speed that could be called teleportation, leaving deep marks on the ground one after another.

If it weren't for her quick eyes and quick hands, dragging three people out of the center of the explosion before the bomb exploded, I'm afraid that Bering would have to be blown to minced meat right now!

This bomb is very evil, obviously the greater the yield, the wider the range of influence, but I don't know what method the person who made it used, it was like concentrating all the power in a small space, and outside the space you could only feel the breeze on your face, but in that confined area......

That's the terrifying energy of the earth's crust!

The witch who was held in the arms of the red spider struggled and said, "Hermes is an expert in alchemy...... I'm afraid this thing is mixed with some of the 'soul' laws! It's possible that everything you just felt was an illusion, but even then you can't bet on it! ”

"Even if it's just an illusion, if it acts directly on you, then the laws of the soul can affect your spirit, and then directly deal a devastating blow to your soul!" "In the past, she used this method to paralyze everyone, and then outright kill anyone who didn't follow her advice!" In other words, she's someone who takes advantage of your mental inertia! She is very experienced when it comes to perceiving people's hearts! ”

Bering, who was dragged on the ground by the red spider, held his arms in his hands: "Then it looks like Hermes is really an extreme and insidious guy." ”

Looking at Bering, who was grabbed by the collar as if he was gliding on the ground, the red spider was almost crazy: "What are you doing now?!" Why not use your prophetic powers?! Ah, fuck, again?! ”

Just as the Red Spider spoke, another miniature cannonball smashed towards Bering.

Looking at the hot weapon slashing in front of him, the red spider wanted to kick it away, but soon his whole body tensed, and the whole person jumped high again!

This time, her speed was even faster than before, and she even faintly touched Qi Guang's side!

You must know that this is almost a super-level performance for the current core of the Red Spider!

It didn't take long for the original cannonball to land on the previous position of the Red Spider.

And then it was less than a second.

With a loud bang, a bottomless pit was blown out in the middle of the asphalt road, and even the bus stop next to it was blown into the sky by the strong wind, and smashed on the wall of an office building in the rotation!

A middle-aged man held a coffee cup in his hand and looked at the bus stop sign diagonally next to the door of his boss in a daze.

With a "bang", in the trembling hands, the coffee ruined all the guy's pants.

"What...... Thing? He muttered to himself.

Then, not long after, he saw a little girl holding a woman who looked like a paper man in one hand, and dragging a pale-faced adult male with the other, jumping from the ground to the edge of the windowsill of the office building in three steps and two steps.

Then he saw that the rather petite little girl in front of him actually hooked the windowsill with her toes, and hung upside down next to the window while carrying two people, like an upside-down cross!

"What ......??"

In the midst of the man's confusion.

The man in the red scarf, who was hanging in the air in a black trench coat, smiled at him: "Sorry, excuse me, please continue your work." ”

"We'll be done soon," Red Scarf said, holding his arm, "please don't care." ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man nodded stunned: "Ah, oh, it's okay, you have worked hard......"

In the midst of an inexplicable greeting, the red scarf, or Bering, looked at the large army in the distance: "It's really scary, it looks like Hermes has long expected us to appear in this place." ”

The red spider hid in the narrow shadows, hanging Bering and the witch upside down like two potted plants: "So, what do you think?" ”

Idea?

Bering, who was like a humanoid bonsai, groaned, "To be honest, I originally thought it might be Kaguya who betrayed us. But then I think it's not very likely—I really can't think of any leverage in Hermes to convince Kaguya that she can help her get revenge. ”

And Bering didn't think that someone like Midori would let Kaguya make a deal with Hermes.

As a dark line planted by Bering next to Kaguya, as long as the news of Bering's death does not come for a day, then Midoriki will continue to watch Kaguya closely. Not to mention, the nightingale has been guarding Kaguya's side for now. If Kaguya really made a move, then Bering couldn't have received the news in advance.

But the car was indeed bombed after it went to the abandoned factory.

'But there's one thing that's strange,' Bering rubbed his chin, 'and Hermes should have known that the bomb didn't mean much to me.' ’

How could anyone blow up the bomb just as he was about to go back?

Whether Hermes was trying to find out where he was hiding or trying to kill himself, it was impossible to set off the bomb while Bering's prophecy was still in effect. Unless she wanted Bering to detect it in advance and get out of the car.

At the end of the day, using a bomb to kill a prophet is ......

Isn't it a little whimsical?

But the current offensive is real, and the "soul" law attached to the bomb is also real.

Bering thought about it for a long time, and felt that there were probably not many people other than Hermes who could do this.

Just as he was thinking.

The red spider jumped down from the windowsill and landed smoothly in a 720-degree rotation in the air, while firmly grasping the other two guys.

Grabbing the witch's collar, the red spider scolded: "Forget this guy, why do you want me to catch it like a chicken?!" ”

Glancing at the witch who had completely lost her mind, Bai Ling was stunned: "No, she's not scared ......"

"It's some kind of special spiritual means that affects her soul!" Bering said, as if remembering something, "I see, the birth of the witch came from Hermes!" ”

When she was on the bus, Bering once heard the witch say that it was someone who transmitted "fear" to the witch that made her the Piper of Hamilon.

At that time, Bering had some speculation that perhaps the reason for the birth of the witch was not naturally formed by other xenomorphs.

And now, Bering suddenly had an idea.

As a connoisseur of the soul, no one understood the nature of fear better than Hermes. No one knows better than she how to pinch xenos.

In other words, perhaps the birth of the witch was handled by Hermes!

Similar to the Pale Lady!

'No, there is a difference,' Bering then denied, 'The Pale Lady is of origin Frankenstein, an artificial man, and the Witch is of the Pied Piper of Hamiron, who has man-made attributes similar to the Philosopher's Stone. And the witch is obviously different from these two. ’

Maybe it's some kind of more youthful means, after all, it is obviously a little earlier than the birth of the Philosopher's Stone and the Witch. And if you look closely, witches are almost no different from humans, and they don't have a sense of mechanics.

Perhaps the witch was an experiment, the first instance of Hermes' intention to pinch xenos?

Thinking of this, Bering couldn't help frowning.

Originally, he thought that the Hermetic faction would be crazy to pinch xenos, but now it seems that it is entirely because their leader is a complete lunatic.

How can anyone pinch a monster in their own hands, and then be betrayed by this monster in the end?

Even if the witch said that she was just sitting on the sidelines when she was on the peninsula, Bering didn't believe that she hadn't fallen into the trap at all.

If she hadn't done something, she wouldn't have been so scared of Hermes!

Dragged by the red spider on the ground, Bering thought for a moment and said to the red spider: "Try to take the avenue." ”

"I need a more stable environment." He said.

What the hell?!

Red Spider was stunned.

But soon, she dodged a precise barrage again, and deftly jumped into the traffic next to her: "That's what you said!" If it's dead, then you can't blame me! ”

As she spoke, she stepped on the roof of someone else's car, and her sharp spider legs went straight through the body, using this as a lever to make her sprint high!

It didn't take long for a few small delicate grenades to fall in front of some cars.

A few seconds later.

"Boom", there was another warm wave, followed by several private cars being blown up into the sky and parts scattered all over the ground!

Amidst the roar of machinery and the loud sound of cannonballs, Bering was hung upside down and dragged while pulling out Luo Hongzhe's mobile phone.

Then a precise phone number was dialed.

It was Hermes's phone, and although Luo Hongzhe's mobile phone did not record it, Bering wrote it down in advance.

In a brief rush of busy tones, the call was quickly connected.

"I knew it was you," Hermes's voice still couldn't hear the man or woman, "it seems that I did call you in the future?" Otherwise you wouldn't know the number – it can't be enumerated, right? ”

Such an old acquaintance-like ridicule did not make Bering relax anything, he just crossed his legs to prevent his boots from dragging on the ground and being cut: "This is the big gift you gave me?" A precise and dense attack? ”

Looking at the shadows covering the sky in the distance, Bering ignored the red spider's howl, and continued to say into the phone: "You even drove armored vehicles and helicopters into the city, do you intend to completely expose my location and then stab everything to the Omniscient Society?" ”

Listening to Bering's voice, there was a low laugh on the other side of the phone: "Relax, this is just a friendly reminder." ”

Friendly?

Looking at the red spider fleeing in a hurry, Bai Ling didn't think it was friendly.

Hermes, on the other hand, said briskly: "Of course, you may not understand. This is also normal – after all, whoever encounters such a situation will be uncomfortable. But trust me, it's really just my kindness. ”

In the midst of the rumbling sound, Hermes's voice was as mechanical as a telegraph: "After all, if I wanted to, I would have sent this city to the sky with you." ”

"And after all, isn't it all in the future?" Hermes said with a smile, "Since it is the future, it will not happen when it returns to reality." When Chrissy appeared with you, I was just sending a chariot in the future, which can be considered friendly, right? ”

In the silence, Bering sneered: "So, because it's in the future, you want to crush me?" ”

"No, no, no," Hermes said, "at the end of the day, I just want to see you." ”

In the rumbling sound of armored vehicles marching, Hermes's voice seemed to be from far and near: "I've been waiting for you for too long, and I think it's understandable that I'm a little out of line with my eagerness, right?" ”

As he said this, the setting sun was shining red and half of the sky was red.

The helicopter was suspended in the air, and not long after, a figure fell rapidly from the sky.

And the red spider also stopped in time.

"I can't run," she said, "and there's already a net around you, and I can't guarantee your safety if you rush." ”

The voice fell.

Bering only bowed slightly: "Then don't run." ”

"Anyway, the Lord is here."

The voice fell.

There was a loud "pop", and a black figure landed heavily on the armored car in front of Bering and the others.

As if relieving the tremendous pressure after landing, the man stretched his body and moved his bones back into the right place little by little: "When I was old, I can't be as easy as when I was young, when I fell from the stratosphere to the Pacific Ocean." ”

Rubbing his neck, the figure looked at Bering in front of him.

After stepping out of the armored car in a few steps, the person who came showed a kind smile towards Bering: "You are the prophet, I have been waiting for you for too long." ”

Looking at Hermes in front of him, Bering said calmly: "I didn't expect your body to be like this. ”

Hearing this, Hermes also looked down at himself: "Really? I think it's pretty good. ”

Stroking his arm, Hermes had a smile on his face: "Especially when I go to take the bus with my current appearance, there are often kind-hearted young people who help me sit down." And they like to call me grandpa, which makes me happy, after all, I really want to have more grandchildren. ”

Hermes, who looked like a dead tree in appearance, said nonchalantly: "That's why I often pretend to get off the train with them and follow them." Of course, the able-bodied young men don't think that I'm a threat to the old man, and occasionally a few good-hearted people will talk to me. It's kind of interesting. ”

"But I still like the younger children, you know, the souls of children are more innocent than adults, how to say, it's like crucian carp soup, it's delicious, and it's beautifully white. For adults, it's like a hot and sour soup, with a lot of thick ink and color, and occasionally I feel a little sluggish. Of course, different emotions will have different taste experiences. For example, fear, I like scared souls very much, especially when begging for mercy, much like seafood with blazing sauce. ”

As he spoke, Hermes smiled so much that his folds came out: "Very delicious, I am satisfied." ”

Really.

Bering sighed: "You are the same as Miss Chrissy said, a paranoid, crazy, and inferior scumbag. ”

"Probably," Hermes said noncommittally, "if you've lived like me for many years, the taste will be a little more spurier." When I was young, I played more flowers, but when I was old and nostalgic, I of course preferred children. ”

When he said this, he still had the kindness of an old man.

However, under this kindness, it is indeed something that Bering has never seen before...... Pure darkness and madness.

Although the inner world of the red spider is crazy enough, it is still much inferior to Hermes.

This is not because the red spider is kinder, but because of the difference in time.

In all these long years, Hermes was like a gourmand who had completely lost his sense of taste. When a person with a passion for the tongue has already tasted most of the regular food, what does he do next?

Bering didn't feel the need to keep thinking.

It must be weird and strange that ordinary people can't imagine.

And Hermes is like that.

Especially when wearing Kaguya's jade pendant.

This jade pendant can see the undead after death, and it is a rare treasure of Kaguya.

When wearing it, he looked at the people around him, and Bering could see that the red spider and the witch were all black smoke, and he could see that there were definitely not a few dead souls in their hands.

And when looking at Hermes......

Bering could only see a piece of clarity, as clear as the sky after rain.

It certainly can't be that Hermes is so kind that he doesn't have a trace of blood on his hands.

I'm afraid it's Hermes, even the souls of the dead...... It's all taken and toyed with.

Such a person has never been seen before.

It's no wonder that when Bering saw him, he blurted out a sentence of "scum".

To say that he is scum is to overestimate "scum".

After a moment of silence, Bering looked at Hermes: "So, what is the purpose of you coming to me so tirelessly?" ”

"It can't be to talk to me about Tianyuan, right?" Bering said coldly, "Didn't you already call me?" Or do you say that you think the phone call has been made, but in fact, you still have doubts in your heart? ”

In the face of Bering's insistence, Hermes waved his hand: "Of course not, how is it possible, I trust you very much." ”

He smiled, revealing his yellow-stained teeth: "I'm here to bring you something." ”

Send something.

Bering looked at him in silence.

Being watched by Bering like this, Hermes was not at all unusual, but pulled the coat on his chest with a normal face: "I know that you prophets are all powerful people who can break the future, and I am afraid that I look down on the gift of our little minions." But what I sent this time was different. ”

As he spoke, he took something out of his arms, rubbed it for a long time, and then handed it to Bering with both hands like a treasure: "Oh, please look! ”

Looking at this thing in front of him, Bering was rarely stunned: "This is ......!" ”

Pinching the thing, Hermes said proudly, "That's right. ”

"Well, it's the xeno," he stroked the thing gently, "or, more accurately, the xenomorph that occupies the law." It's also a good treasure that I brought out of the abyss and can rank among the top few in my collection. ”

At the time he said this.

Not just Bering, but even the Red Spider was staring at the thing in his hand.

This alien who occupies the law is difficult to describe her appearance in concrete language.

If anything, she's a ...... Glowing, hazy spheres. Something could be seen twitching slightly in the sphere, like a heart, like a fetus still in gestation.

"I ...... Damn......" Red Spider said a swear word, "this fuck...... This fucking ......"

She was dazzled by the sight of what she saw.

It's no wonder she's the way she looks.

Not to mention the red spider, even Bering used extremely strong willpower to force himself to move away from it, so he didn't continue to look at that thing.

Focusing his gaze on Hermes, Bering whispered, "What are you trying to do with this thing?" ”

Hearing this, Hermes smiled.

He slowly rubbed the glowing orb, and smiled on his face: "This is a very common rule, you probably don't know, her name is '%*'." This is also normal, after all, after this thing is taken out of the abyss, it is as if it no longer exists. It's only because I'm part of the holder of the law of the soul, and because I brought her out, that I can remember it. ”

With his voice, a term so awkward that Bering almost never heard of it came out of Hermes's mouth.

Listening to this term, Bering fell silent.

As Hermes said, he barely heard what Hermes said.

Rubbing the glowing orb, Hermes sighed: "But it's a pity, because I wasn't fully prepared when I went there, so I was only able to bring out such a simple thing in the end." Oh, and his power is to turn liquids into '%*(!) Just like a grape fermented into wine, it can be drunk for a short period of pleasure, a bit like dopamine secretion. ”

As he spoke, he actually took a small cup out of his pocket and spat into it.

Then Hermes threw the thing into the quilt with his saliva on it.

It didn't take long for the ball of light to emit a burst of bright light.

In just a moment, Bering and the Red Spider smelled a fresh fragrance coming from the cup containing Hermes's saliva.

This is certainly not any of the smells they are familiar with.

Gently shaking the glass of liquid that had turned red, Hermes looked at Bering with a smile: "How is it, do you want to taste it?" ”

"No," Bai Ling thanked Bumin, "you better taste it yourself." ”

Hearing this, Hermes just shrugged his shoulders: "Okay, it looks like you have a habit of cleanliness." ”

As he spoke, he drank the liquid from the cup and let out a soft moan, "Wow...... It was as if I had eaten a child's soul with a smile, and I felt my inspiration sparking...... Awesome, fantastic. ”

In a short, pleasant sigh, Hermes grabbed the ball of light and handed it to Bering again: "Okay, now she's yours." ”

Looking at the sphere in front of him, Bering frowned.

As if sensing Bering's doubts and rejection, Hermes just smiled and said, "Take it, this is an excellent research material for you." If you really want to enter the Abyss, the xenos who have stolen the law are definitely your worst enemies. Not to mention, in this way, you may be able to better understand the meaning of the prophet. ”

"Believe me, I said before that I came with good intentions, so my gift is genuine," Hermes smiled, "and this is the first step of our great friendship – from a law that has faded away!" Hahaha! ”

Amid Hermes's laughter, Bering was silent.

It took him a long time before he spoke, "What do you want?" ”

Bering didn't believe that Hermes would benefit him for nothing.

However, it was not his expectation.

Hermes waved his hand: "What do you want?" No, I don't want anything. Didn't I say it several times, I came today with good intentions, to give gifts. As I said before, my phone call was considered to have happened, so now, you can also think that it happened. As for this thing, she can follow your consciousness back to the real world - because the law is unique. Once she leaves my hands, then she is yours, wherever you are. ”

Smiling, Hermes shrugged again: "Well, it looks like you don't believe in my good intentions. Ah, young people these days. ”

"In that case, then I will give you another gift," he said, looking at Bering sincerely, "and I will repay this for my kindness." ”

The voice fell.

Hermes took a step forward and pointed to the witch: "Chriss, my child. ”

"I swear that from today onwards, I will no longer hold you accountable for what happened in the past. In the same way, from this day forward, your soul will no longer be bound by me. ”

Hermes's face was calm: "You're free, Chriss. ”

Accompanied by his voice.

Soon, the dazed and trance on the witch's face gradually subsided.

Almost as soon as Hermes made his vow, the witch's expression gradually improved.

Clapping his hands, Hermes looked at Bering with a smile: "How?" From this day on, Chrissy is no longer the cowering, mean-spirited and cowardly girl. She has gained her soul, and her spirit has returned to normal, and she naturally does not need to harm others to get entertainment. ”

"She's the most human-like alien right now," Hermes said in a pleasant voice, "after all, I designed her to be modeled after a human, but I thought it was a little too boring, so I adjusted her so that she couldn't get normal comfort." She's always bored, and because of that, she's done a lot of wrong things. ”

"But that was all before, and now she's full of compassion, kindness, and pity."

As he spoke, Hermes shrugged his shoulders and smiled kindly: "Of course, I can't say if she will kill herself out of guilt when she wakes up......

Hear the words.

The red spider snorted: "You bastard! ”

She put down the witch and rushed towards Hermes without hesitation!

In a burst of lightning, the red spider stepped forward, and then the spider's legs suddenly spread out, and the power of Hermes was unreserved
