Chapter 273: Fulfillment of Agreements
A few days later.
Bering sat on the couch at the base, next to the rest of the day.
Right now, these people are gathering around Bering to listen to him talk about the precautions of this mission. 、
Among these people, there are Li Jingwen and Ji Qianqin, who were found by Bering, and Lin Qi and Song Qingci, who rushed back from all over the world as soon as they heard that Bering came back.
So far, basically everyone has gathered in the bright day, only Ding Yan is still scattered because of the problem of the Nine Divine Sects.
"The place we're going to is called 'Tianyuan'."
In the midst of everyone's gaze, Bering said, "To be honest, I don't know much about that place. All I know is that this is where everything originated, and if we want to wipe out all the xenomorphs in the true sense of the word, then there is only that. ”
Looking around at the others, Bering's voice was calm and gentle: "Of course, it needs to be explained in advance that the abyss is very dangerous. If the highest danger we have encountered so far is 'disaster', then it is estimated that there are disasters everywhere in that place. Not only that, but those xenomorph abilities are hard to guard. The xenomorphs that exist in the abyss may be far beyond our imagination. ”
"I've asked it before, but for insurance reasons, I still want to warn you that this time is very, very dangerous. If you don't want to accept it now, then I won't say anything about quitting. After all, there is no need to deliberately put your own life on the line for the sake of others. ”
Listening to Bering's words, everyone present glanced at each other.
In the end, everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Qi.
In the midst of their gaze, Lin Qi, the first person to be found by Bering, stepped forward and said in a tone that would not change for ten thousand years: "Since that day four months ago, we have already made a decision. ”
"If I had to choose a way to live, then I would rather struggle to survive in the treacherous and inexplicable Shura field by myself than continue to do my job as a funeral master, and in addition to grooming corpses every day, I can only read those supernatural articles on the forum."
"Here, although I work harder, I spend more time on business trips, I see more messy things, and when I'm in a bad mood, I have a little more ...... than before."
Lin Qi looked at Bering calmly: "But it's more fulfilling and happy than before, and I don't know how much it is." ”
"You have personally chosen all of us, and with your ability to be a prophet, you have to know these individuals better than we know ourselves. So you should be well aware - no one here wants to be ordinary. ”
It is precisely because they are unwilling to be ordinary, so some of them will keep up with Bering's footsteps for their own dreams and expectations, from the very beginning of Linjiang to Chenfeng, Yanxia Mountain, and Xinhai.
So this question, in fact, has long been answered for these people.
If you are willing to quit, then in the beginning, no one will actively want to join. If they are not willing to obey Bering's command, then they should stay away when they see this strange guy.
But now instead of staying away, they are still clinging to Bering's side, forming a complete ensemble.
More than any words, this is more representative of their wishes now.
Looking at Lin Qi, Bai Ling couldn't help but laugh.
He found himself looking overly worried.
"Yes," he said gently, "you are all like that, and not only you, but even myself. ”
Now that you've chosen this path, let's just make a big fuss.
If time is to be shattered and die one day, then he should do as much as he can in the remaining time.
That is, to bring back the "time", the guy who has been stained with his brand, from that crooked railroad track!
"That's right."
As if remembering something, Ling looked at Bering, and her tone seemed to be a little hesitant.
However, thanks to her own status, she is probably the least afraid to ask Bering questions here.
Even in the past, when she was an artificial intelligence, she was the one who talked the most.
Looking around at the people around her, Ling asked slowly, "There is another person ......"
Bering knew who she was talking about.
Of all the people present, only Bering was the second person to go to find at the moment, and he was not by his side now.
patted Ling's head, and Bering's voice was calm: "Don't worry. ”
"He'll be here soon."
It's just not with them.
Ding Yan, the top transcendent in the future, known as the "Red Lotus Walker", is still circling in the Nine Divine Cults as the "Red Lotus".
And soon, the Cult of the Nine Gods will also follow Hermes to the abyss!
This sounds a little incredible, after all, as an organization in China, how could the Cult of the Nine Gods have anything to do with the old monster that has been sealed on the peninsula for hundreds of years abroad?
But in fact, the relationship between the two sides is not new.
First of all, on the once smoky mountain, there is an organization that plans to upend everything that is currently happening.
The name of that organization is "Human Watch", and it is currently wanted by all countries, and its people are like rats crossing the street.
Then, in the midst of that human watch, there was a guy named "The Alchemist".
The man was a Hermetic who had tried to secure refuge through the Lionheart and the Oathbreaker, but was ruthlessly rejected by the two men.
Finally, the Hermetic faction is an alchemical sect created by Hermes himself.
In other words, there is the shadow of Hermes behind the human watch. And on the Smoky Mountain, the "Nine Divine Cults" that can be used together with human beings to target various countries......
The relationship between the two men is undoubtedly clear.
After all, the operation of Smoky Mountain is to completely destroy the hope of humanity in the future, and it is almost no less than an anti-human act that places oneself on incendiary shells, and these two organizations can be entangled and happily fire a cannon battle with all of humanity......
It's obviously a good guy in a pair of pants.
Therefore, Bering can come to this conclusion with little to no thought.
That is, the "Cult of the Nine Gods" will definitely follow Hermes to the abyss.
Even Hermes must be alone in that dangerous place in the abyss. So he definitely needs a boost, or to put it more bluntly - he needs humans as bait and key.
The law of time can only be approached by humans, this is the theorem tentatively discovered by the oathbreakers of the past and Hermes.
In other words, there must be humans on Hermes' side. In the world, there are only nine theological religions that can be related to Hermes.
Therefore, Ding Yan's stay does not need to be considered at all.
If nothing else, if Ding Yan stays in that place, it will be equivalent to a needle I left in Hermes. ’
Rubbing his chin, Bering pondered: 'Hermes' ability is not time, there is no way to predict the future. Although his intelligence is also very strong, it is estimated that he can understand that Ding Yan used to be my person, but now that Ding Yan has been in the Nine Divine Sect for so long, and with the help of Lu Qi, I am afraid that he has secured his identity as a red lotus. ’
Coupled with Hermes's attitude towards the Cult of the Nine Gods, it is estimated that it is only a tool that comes at a moment's notice, and he is now completely focused on Bering's head, so it is very unlikely that he can notice the little character "Ding Yan".
But even if it's low, it's not all.
Scratching his hair, Bai Ling sighed: "Forget it, I can continue to use my time ability now, and if I really find any problems, I can also bring Ding Yan back directly." ’
Bering's current capabilities have been continuously used, and they are no longer what they were four months ago.
Now he has the feeling of a "prophet" in the true sense.
Coupled with the giant's eyes that shrouded the sea of consciousness before, and then forced back by the ferryman, Bering can now watch the future as happily as before.
Think so.
In the next second, Bering's brows furrowed slightly.
Soon, though, the furrowed eyebrows loosened again.
"It's really hilarious."
Under everyone's puzzled gaze, Bering muttered to himself, "It seems that our friend is not willing to be excluded from this grand plan." ”
Clapping his palms, he looked at the others present with a pleasant face: "Since there is nothing to do, then everyone can go back and rest for a while." I reckon it will only take another two days before we will be able to go. ”
"Thank you for your help, I believe that this time, we will be able to completely cut off the root of this twist that hangs over the head of humanity!"
----------
It was a few days later.
On this day, Bering rarely stood outside the base early.
It didn't take long for him to see the "friends" who had arrived today.
"I didn't expect you to be so well-informed," Bering smiled, "I have to say, it's really surprising to see you now." ”
And the other side.
Someone scoffed: "Can it surprise you?" Then we are really lucky, we can write it on the tombstone. ”
As he spoke, the man held out his hand, "It's rare that you didn't inform us of such a big thing, and it makes us so sad, 'ally'." ”
Listening to the man's words, Bering smiled and stretched out his hand.
"I thought the countermeasures bureau was going to be busy," he said, holding the man's hand, "but I have to say that seeing you guys now has put me at ease a little." ”
That person, that is, Qi Guang, withdrew his hand: "Heh, how did I find out that you are getting better and better at talking lately." ”
As he spoke, he patted the two people next to him: "How is it?" The two directors and deputy directors of the countermeasures bureau and a minister came to help, did they have a bright face? ”
Wang Weizheng next to him raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
Xun Mo, who was held by Qi Guang, was shocked: "Wait, you won't want me to go to that hellish place together, right?!" Qi Guang, I can tell you, I am on paid vacation now, not to mention a messy ghost, even if you ask me to work, I won't do it! ”
As he spoke, Xun Mo began to struggle to break free from Qi Guang's shackles.
However, before him, Wang Weizheng had already stretched out his hand and jammed Xun Mo's head with a light stroke.
While grabbing Xun Mo's head, Wang Weizheng bowed slightly at Bai Ling.
"I've heard what you're up to," he said, "and we can't follow them because of the circumstances, but at least I'll watch them as much as I can before I go." ”
Yes.
Although Wang Weizheng and the others came, it was impossible for them to go to the abyss with Bai Ling and the others.
The reason is that if even the top combat power of Wang Weizheng's countermeasures bureau leaves, then no one will be able to suppress the domestic xenomorphs in a short period of time.
Therefore, Wang Weizheng and the others came here just to make a gesture, or to be more accurate, to "protect" Bering.
Qi Guang let go of his hand and looked serious: "The situation is already roughly understood." ”
"Hermes, the monster trapped on the peninsula, wants to go with you to a strange place, right?" Qi Guang looked at Bering, "I'm not very good at analyzing and evaluating this kind of thing, but I believe you won't make an unprepared decision." ”
He patted Bering on the shoulder: "Don't worry about us, you can do anything boldly and boldly, even if it fails, the situation cannot be worse than now." At worst, it's all played together, and to be honest, I've done a couple of similar pre-plays. So proceed with it. ”
"If you can really cut off the root of the xenomorph, then I will definitely erect a big bronze statue for you in the countermeasures bureau in the future, and then let him step on top of all of us."
Solemnly pressing Bering's shoulder, Qi Guang said word by word: "After all, if you really achieve this feat, you will be all of us...... Savior! ”
Hearing this, Bering smiled.
He didn't say anything, just nodded slightly at the three men.
Soon.
In Bering's action.
A voice came out of the shadows next to it: "Looks like I came on time?" ”
The voice was so old that it looked like the crumpled bark of a tree: "Aha, I didn't expect that in addition to the prophet, three other friends would come to see us off. I'm really flattered by that, and allow me to thank a few of them. ”
The back of the sentence slowly stepped out from the shadows: "Thank you for your attention to me, and thank you for your concern for my career, 'Kunlun', or as always." ”
Listen to the voice.
Several people turned their heads away, staring at the man in the shadows.
The man, like his tone, was so old that one wondered if he would faint and fall unconscious in the next second.
However, such an old man, after bearing the attention of several powerful people, still smiled calmly.
Pressing the hat on his head, Hermes whispered to Bering, "The month has come. ”
"It's time for the covenant to be fulfilled," he said, "the Prophet." ”
