After transmigrating into the body of his parallel-world counterpart, Bai Ling discovers something horrifying: there’s a gaping hole in his chest, his blood has drained completely, and he’s now...
The bus slowly moved through the dense forest.
During this time, Bering also removed the worms from the eyes of Peter's sister, Roxanne "White Death" Davis.
It has to be said that the personalities of these two siblings are similar. Although Roshan doesn't talk much on weekdays, when she heard Bering say that there was a rebellion in Western Europe, she was just as unbelievable. She was even so excited that she almost took out the sniper rifle behind her.
...Although Bai Ling didn't know what she wanted to do with the sniper rifle, was she planning to snipe him at close range? In any case, under the influence of the consciousness maggot, Luo Shan also seemed somewhat irritable.
Fortunately, Peter persuaded her to put down the gun and reasoned with her. Otherwise, Bering would have to take some special measures like he did with Peter.
He is quite equal and tolerant to both men and women.
Soon, after pulling out the worm, Luo Shan also lay beside him, covering her bleeding eyes and looking pale.
Peter stood beside his sister and carefully treated her wounds.
Looking at the two siblings leaning against each other, Bai Ling nodded slightly.
Sure enough, in Peter's mind, his sister is very important.
To be honest, Bering could probably understand why future Peter was acting so irritable.
On the one hand, it is probably because the consciousness maggots in his brain have a certain influence. On the other hand, it is because those people from "Humanity Watch" are hiding in the dark and brainwashing Peter all the time.
For them, a cruel and tyrannical genius is more suitable than a benevolent and generous ruler.
Although Peter himself has a rather weird personality, if he really follows the normal growth path, he might not be as crazy as in the future on the original timeline.
Now as long as Roxanne is not dead, Peter will probably be quiet for a while.
This is also good news for Bering.
Peter has a bottom line. He will never allow people like "Humanity Watch" to live on his land. When he learns about all this, he will inevitably launch a series of retaliations against this anti-human group.
Under such circumstances, it would be impossible for Human Watch to continue to persecute Peter, destroy his family, and lead to self-destruction.
By the way, Western Europe can also clean up its internal situation on its own, which is simply killing two birds with one stone for Bering.
Perfect.
Thinking of this, Bai Ling glanced at the nightingale next to him.
At this moment, the woman was sitting behind him, staring straight ahead at the front of the car, her eyes empty and unfocused.
This is also normal.
After all, Bai Ling had just erased her memory and added some "new things" to her memory.
This is not difficult for him.
The power of a tyrant king can change a person's mind, but the strength of this power varies from person to person. If an ordinary person gets this thing, it is estimated that he will not even be able to make a wave.
But it was Bering who got this thing.
That's quite different.
As the owner of the "ocean", the only thing he needs to worry about now is whether the Tyrant King Ring can keep up with his output speed, and whether the matrix carved on this thing by the Hermetic people can withstand his powerful bombardment. He doesn't have to worry about whether this thing is strong enough.
The only thing that limits the ring is the ring itself, not Bering who uses it.
It's just a pity that this thing is a man-made product after all, and it can't be used as recklessly as the alien species. However, it is enough to deal with most situations.
For someone like Nightingale who is defenseless and has a weak consciousness, Bering can easily wash away her original heart and inject new things into it.
Of course, if facing a witch or even an alien species like Lan Kong, this thing probably wouldn't have such a great effect.
Bering estimated that making the monsters dizzy or mentally shaken was about the limit of this ring.
It's still trash after all.
Bai Ling thought to himself while stroking the ring.
But this ring will not remain useless forever.
As long as it is man-made, there is room for improvement. Any man-made product can be upgraded. A dry toilet in a rural area can be transformed into a luxurious golden toilet after a renovation.
The same goes for the Tyrant King's Ring. If Bering could find something else to complement it, perhaps its strength would be even higher.
And Bering remembered that the prototype of the Tyrant King Ring was a head made by the Hermetic sect based on the legendary tyrant, King Ravana.
However, in mythology, King Ravana had ten heads, each with special abilities, mind control being just one of them.
Bering believed that since Hermes' people used King Ravana as a model, they would probably follow the legend of "ten heads".
In other words, the Tyrant King definitely has more than one ring.
If he could get something else, not to mention how it would improve the ring on his hand, just the understanding of the Hermetic craftsmanship in it would probably be a treasure for most blacksmiths in the world.
And it just so happened that he had a future top blacksmith on his side.
Thinking of this, Bai Ling couldn't help but fell into thought: 'Speaking of which, where is Gerard now? '
Where is this future top forging master, the "fire forging of molten iron", now? Bailing remembered that this guy seemed to have followed a teacher from an island country before.
Because he didn't have any spies on him, he really didn't know where Gerrard would appear for a while.
But I guess he won't be able to reach his final destination.
Thinking of this, Bai Ling shook his head: "Now most of the students and teachers are being held back by the human watch. Although the 'trickster' Rodney is desperate now, he can't risk being completely exposed and let his men kill the students directly."
'On the one hand, there are not enough people. After all, the number of students and teachers combined is far greater than the number of traitors. On the other hand, this goes against the concept of human oversight. What they want is to show the terrifying power of the alien species, to let other people in the world know that the alien species has erupted and that humans have no chance of resisting. Therefore, they cannot organize their own people to fight against humans, otherwise it will only become a civil war between humans.'
As a form of capitulationism, the purpose of "Human Watch" is to reveal the invincible terror of the alien species, and then step by step erode the human will to resist, and finally rise up when the monsters break out, and finally lead a part of the human race into the arms of the alien species.
I have to say that these people are actually very similar to the Nine-Headed Divine Religion. They also rely on alien species and exist like slaves. It is no wonder that these two organizations would unite here to deal with the Committee and the Countermeasures Bureau.
If you are not the same type of people, you may not necessarily understand each other's intentions.
This is true for Bering and the Countermeasures Bureau, as well as the Nine-Headed Divine Cult and Humanity's Watch.
He even believed that the birth of the Nine-Headed Religion might be closely related to "Humanity's Watch".
Although the origin of the cult is the Yamata no Orochi of the island country, no matter how you look at it, this style of behavior and purpose and creed are inextricably linked to human watch.
Perhaps one of the nine false gods of the Nine-Headed God Cult has a close relationship with "Humanity Watch"...
This false god definitely cannot be the four that have appeared so far. Qingguang cannot be the one because he will not be inferior to others. Lankong cannot be the one because he does not have the brains to do so. Honglian cannot be the one because he is the strongest person in the Nine-Headed Divine Religion. If he is from another organization, there is no need to start a new sect. And Luqi, who he is about to deal with, does not seem likely either.
Thinking of Luqi, Bai Ling frowned slightly.
"Although this woman Luqi is a bit troublesome, she is also easy to deal with."
As a member of the Nine-Headed Divine Religion, Luqi is surprisingly a breath of fresh air compared to her other colleagues.
She was not as cunning as Qingguang, nor as cruel and violent as Lankong, nor as playful as Honglian. As an alien, she could almost be said to be self-disciplined. Her favorite thing on weekdays was to go shopping. Even when humans were on the verge of extinction, she would occasionally sneak into human shopping malls to hang out.
Moreover, her character was kind, not the kind of person who was particularly sadistic. For example, when Lan Kong and his friends occasionally did something cruel, Lu Qi would still frown and couldn't bear to watch.
Even within the Nine-Headed Divine Sect, which is full of crazy people, Luqi has a good reputation.
Even the description of Luqi in the diary was very normal. Compared with people like Lankong and Qingguang, she was like a white lotus blooming in the mud and corruption.
However, despite Luqi being such a person, the conflicts between her, Bailing and the Countermeasures Bureau are irreconcilable.
The reason still lies in Honglian.
Everything in the Nine-Headed Divine Religion started with Honglian. As the strongest person, Honglian is a well-deserved leader.
The sleeping Qingguang has no strength, so he has to rely on Honglian; Lankong and Honglian are lovers, so Lankong completely follows Honglian's lead.
And Luqi also has deep feelings for Honglian.
This is certainly not love, and Luqi herself has no intention of competing with Lankong for a man.
In fact, she is probably the one who has been with Honglian the longest. If there really was something going on between her and Honglian, it would have happened long ago. Why would Lan Kong have to take advantage of the situation?
The bond she has for Honglian is purely a kind of "family affection".
Aliens did not exist from the beginning. In fact, each alien was born from distortion. Although they may possess a lot of knowledge due to the root of distortion, this knowledge is cold and unreal.
It's like you know about a scenic spot and have seen it on the Internet, but if you don't go there in person, you will never know how beautiful this place is. Although aliens have a certain understanding of society, it always takes time for this understanding to turn into experience.
Therefore, when alien species were first created, many monsters could still be considered ignorant.
Even if their personalities are still cruel and violent, at least they know how to hide themselves and disguise themselves as harmless.
This is the case with Honglian and Luqi.
They were born very close to each other, and they were both children when they were born. In addition, they lived in close locations, so they happened to meet each other at the beginning of their lives.
It is probably easy to let down your guard when you meet people like you in a cold and unfamiliar environment.
Therefore, Honglian and Luqi have a very good relationship. Because Honglian is stronger and was born earlier, the two are like brother and sister. In the early days of their birth, they supported each other and depended on each other.
Later, eight alien species founded the Nine-Headed God Cult with Honglian as the center. As a relatively normal person, Luqi didn't really want to join. But because her brother and father-like family were among them, and even implicitly the leader of the group, Luqi had to participate even if she didn't want to join.
Later, she saw the messy behavior of her colleagues and felt resentful. However, because Honglian was also involved, and she found it difficult to empathize with humans, Luqi had ignored it until now.
She would not take the initiative to harm others, and even if her roots were distorted, she would only do it to the extent necessary. Therefore, compared to others, she could even be called "kind".
However, her conflicts with Bai Ling and others were irreconcilable.
The conflict with the Countermeasures Bureau was because her only relative, Honglian, was killed by the director of the Countermeasures Bureau, Wang Weizheng.
If a normal person's relatives were killed by others, anyone would be furious, not to mention the aliens who are already more emotional and lonely.
When Wang Weizheng chopped off Honglian's head with his own hands, the conflict between Luqi and the Countermeasures Bureau had become irreconcilable.
As for Bering...
Now Honglian's ashes are still hidden in Ding Yan's body.
And it was added by Bering himself.
If Luqi had any brains, she probably wouldn't smile at Bai Ling.
The moment she saw Ding Yan, she probably wanted to eat his blood and bones alive, and skin him alive.
So, um.
This little conflict led to the conclusion that Luqi was an enemy and could only be an enemy.
Thinking of this, Bai Ling hooked his finger at Ding Yan.
Watching Bai Ling's actions, Ding Yan came over curiously.
Then the next second, Bai Ling reached out and picked up the sin mask next to him.
Then put the mask directly on Ding Yan's face!
While Ding Yan was stunned, the guilty mask was firmly fastened on Ding Yan's face, covering his confused face with a mask that looked like crying and laughing!
Ding Yan looked at Bai Ling in confusion, and subconsciously opened his mouth under the mask: "What's wrong, Prophet... What the hell?!"
The moment the words came out of his mouth, Ding Yan turned his head and saw the little girl squatting in the corner, hugging her knees.
The girl seemed not to have expected Ding Yan to wear a mask. She looked up at him with no expression on her face, looking completely indifferent.
However, Ding Yan was not so calm.
"Is there a ghost?!"
He took a half step back in shock, almost bumping into Peter behind him.
Peter gave him a dissatisfied look, then carefully protected his sister Roxanne to prevent anything from happening to her who was still recovering.
Bai Ling raised his eyelids and glanced at him: "What a fuss."
"Put on this mask tightly," he said calmly, "You must not take it off from now on, do you hear me?"
Hearing this.
Although Ding Yan had a lot to say, he could see that Bai Ling had no intention of explaining. In the end, he had no choice but to swallow all his words and look at the guilty face over there cautiously.
Then he moved forward step by step, sticking to the seat of the bus, and cautiously moved to the front row, away from the guilty party.
This guy is actually afraid of ghosts?
Bai Ling couldn't help but shook his head.
Even if Ding Yan was afraid, he had to wear the mask.
Previously, when Lan Kong and the witch saw Ding Yan, they could see the red lotus in his body at a glance. As for Lu Qi, who had been with the red lotus the longest, she could probably sense the presence of the red lotus as soon as Ding Yan approached her by one kilometer.
This is not conducive to Bering's "Red Lotus Infiltration Plan".
Ding Yan will definitely reveal his identity as Honglian in the future, but it is obvious that the time to do so is not now.
So Bai Ling needed to use something to cover up the remnants of the red lotus in his body.
The blue sky eyeball embedded in the eye socket of the sin face is a very good material.
On the one hand, this will let Luqi know who solved the problem of Lan Kong, and gather around Ding Yan to make that woman feel fearful.
After all, no matter what, Lan Kong's strength is quite impressive.
on the other hand……
Of course, as a couple, they have to use Lan Kong’s eyes to suppress Hong Lian’s aura.
Even if Honglian died, Lankong's eyes could be used to protect Honglian's breath from escaping and completely disappearing into the air.
Isn't this a very touching love story? Thinking of this, Bai Ling nodded slightly: "Although Honglian is dead and Lankong is about to die, the eyes and bodies of the two people can still snuggle together tightly, as if the love between them has lasted for thousands of years..."
Isn’t this a “happy ending”? So Lan Kong and Hong Lian actually have to thank Bai Ling.
Otherwise, Honglian would turn into ashes, and Lan Kong would probably never be able to find her in this lifetime. He would be immersed in sadness and pain for the rest of his life, and no one would be able to play fancy games with him anymore.
Fortunately now, at least Lan Kong's eyes can be buried with Hong Lian's ashes, entangled and inseparable forever...
With this thought in mind, the bus swerved and stopped in a dark mountain stream.
Taking a look at the towering forests above his head, Bai Ling knew that he had reached his destination.
Getting out of the car, his boots stepped lightly on the solid ground. Bai Ling pulled the scarf around his collar and tilted his head to look at the valley entrance in the distance where the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.
"It seems that we are the first ones to arrive," he said, but there was no trace of surprise in his tone, "That's right, after all, our friends are very punctual."
"It's a little earlier than the scheduled time."
After taking a look at his phone, Bai Ling smiled.
"Okay, let's start preparing and give some surprises to our friends who arrived on time."
As he spoke, Bai Ling walked slowly towards the valley entrance.
Behind him, Peter, Luo Shan and Ding Yan filed off the bus.
Walking in the thick and dark fog, everyone's backs gradually disappeared in the mist that was rising up, hiding silently. —— On the other side, Qi Guang glanced at his phone.
At this moment he happened to see Bering's final declaration, which was to shatter all those people's fantasies.
Seeing this, Qi Guang couldn't help smacking his lips: "This guy who loves to show off..."
Shaking his head, he put down his phone and took a last look at the blood smoke exploding in the distance.
By now Wu Xiaoya has probably led the little boy into the mountain stream.
I guess that guy will give a big gift to some people who want to watch the fun.
Now, it's time for me to stretch my muscles a little.
Gently patting the wheelchair under his butt, Qi Guang steered the wheelchair towards the depths of the dense forest.
When he reached an open space shaded by trees, he stopped moving forward and controlled his wheelchair to stay where it was.
Looking up at the shadow in the distance, Qi Guang said calmly: "What are you hiding? Do you think I haven't discovered you?"
His voice echoed through the forest, like the whistling of a swallow through the trees, the soft sound of its wings brushing the treetops.
Amidst these sounds, in the distance where the moon could not reach, there was a faint sound of footsteps.
A moment later, a sturdy man leaned on the decayed ancient tree with one hand and looked down at Qi Guang.
Perhaps because he was too sturdy, the clothes he wore looked ill-fitting, like a tightly stretched plastic suit, with a bit of bronze skin showing on his chest.
Under the collar, the hideous red spider legs looked extremely conspicuous.
When he noticed Qi Guang's gaze, the burly man jumped down from the hill. His heavy body hit the ground, blowing up a gust of fallen leaves and dust.
In the misty dust, Qi Guang squinted his eyes and looked at the burly man in the distance.
The sturdy man gently brushed off the dust on his body, then said to Qi Guang: "I didn't plan to hide, but I saw some good things when I came here, so I was delayed for a while."
As he spoke, the sturdy man took out a white, round thing from his pocket.
Qi Guang looked carefully and it seemed to be a white and sticky larva.
The insect was held firmly in the strong man's palm and struggled frantically. Its soft yet strong body squirmed up and down, sometimes stretching and sometimes contracting.
Then, the strong man pinched the insect and put it in his mouth.
Then, the upper and lower teeth clenched tightly together! With a slight "crunch" sound, some yellow pus flowed from the corner of the strong man's mouth, but he didn't seem to care, just intoxicated: "Sure enough, it's still more comfortable to eat this kind of larvae."
Looking at the burly man, Qi Guang's expression did not change.
"I don't know you," he said bluntly. "Even in the archives in my memory, there is no such person as you. Who are you? Why are you standing in front of me?"
After listening to Qi Guang's words, the sturdy man who was still chewing stopped moving his mouth.
He clasped his hands behind his head, his tight muscles pushing up his clothes again with this movement, the white threads almost bursting: "It's normal that you don't know me. After all, I'm just an unknown pawn."
The sturdy man said casually: "As for stopping you, there is nothing special about it. I should have gone to a certain place. After all, many guys are going there now. If you want to have fun, that place is a perfect choice."
"But how should I put it? After seeing you, my thoughts have changed a little."
As he said this, the strong man laughed.
There was still yellow pus oozing out of his teeth, which was the juice of the fat larvae. "The deputy director of the Countermeasures Bureau, Qi Guang. It is said that he is the man who imprisoned the Nordic God of Light, Balder."
"I have a deep impression of you," the sturdy man said, "Before this, you were known as a 'strategist'. Later, you designed yourself as a prison and locked up the light. You were called 'Prisoner of Light'..."
"Well, I didn't expect that such a crazy person would appear in the Countermeasures Bureau without my knowledge. I'm quite interested."
As he spoke, the sturdy man scratched the back of his head and said, "Do you know what happened to the last person who sealed a different species in his body?"
Faced with the strong man's question, Qi Guang said nothing.
However, the strong man was not expecting his answer.
Soon, the strong man explained his problem to himself: "He lost control on the Peninsula, which directly led to the outbreak of the Peninsula Incident. Even now, that place is still a troubled area, and even I don't want to get close to it. After all, if you see a pile of dog shit on the ground, your first reaction is definitely to go around it, not to want to taste the taste of dog shit."
After casually making a rather disgusting analogy, the sturdy man continued to look at Qi Guang: "So when I saw another 'jailer' appear, I was quite curious. How cruel can one be to use a mere human body as a prison and attempt to lock up a god?"
"And he's not just an ordinary god, he's a Norse god who could trigger Ragnarok at any time..." At this point, the sturdy man shook his head, "I don't know whether I should say you're heroic or stupid as a pig."
Even faced with such words, Qi Guang remained expressionless.
He looked at the strong man calmly and said, "Are you done?"
"Get lost now. If you stop me again, I will kill you."
Qi Guang was serious about what he said.
Anyone who knows so much information and still stops him, the deputy director of the Countermeasures Bureau, is either a traitor or a monster.
Regardless of which one it was, Qi Guang did not hesitate at all! However, after hearing Qi Guang's words, the sturdy man was slightly startled.
"Kill me?"
After a moment, the sturdy man's mouth opened wide and he laughed uncontrollably: "You said to kill me? Who? You?"
"Hahaha! Funny, this is really the funniest joke I've heard today! Who is the current director? Does he know that his deputy director is such a humorous person?"
As he spoke, the sturdy man laughed, as if Qi Guang's words really made him laugh.
Looking at the sturdy man who was laughing wildly, Qi Guang narrowed his eyes.
He gently pressed his hand on the bandage on the sole of his foot. Even though Qi Guang didn't say anything now, he was ready to fight or escape.
Although he didn't know the basis for the other party's confidence, Qi Guang felt that if he really couldn't beat the other party, running away should not be a problem.
What's more, the other party may not dare to kill him.
The threat of "Twilight of the Gods" means that few people in this world are willing to kill Qi Guang.
However, the sturdy man opposite seemed to be one of those few people... "one of them".
After laughing enough, he lowered his head and looked at Qi Guang again.
"Thank you for providing me with such good jokes. I don't think I will be too bored in the short term."
The strong man said, "Well, at least in the future I will remember that today, a young man shamelessly said he wanted to 'kill' me. Okay, at least it will make me happy for half a month."
"Thank you, Qi Guang."
After saying this, the clothes behind the sturdy man were suddenly torn apart! Several black furry legs protruded from his back, scratching his skin like bone spurs, bringing out blood and flesh, and locking the sky like wings supporting the sky, casting a hideous and deep shadow!
It was a long dark red bone shaped like a spider's leg, with a tough and mysterious texture. A faint scarlet light surged at the joints, and it expanded and contracted with the sound of breathing, like a tiny sun.
At this moment, the sturdy man looked like a fallen angel with wings on his back, with the dark red joints behind him, and the light surging in his joints was like sharp feathers.
Looking at Qi Guang, the strong man smiled and said, "In the future, you can write a line of words on your tombstone. 'The person who tries his best to please others, our forever good friend, the unlucky guy who made a negative contribution to world peace.'"
"Trust me, it's gonna be really cool."
The words fell.
The surging light in the strong man's joints instantly began to accelerate! Just like the water flow changing from slow to fast, in a very short time, the scarlet light was surging like a rushing waterfall!
Looking at the red light rising and falling like the tide, Qi Guang suddenly felt a sense of alarm! He quickly tore off his bandages, almost at the fastest speed in his life!
When the bandage was removed, the bright white light shone into the dark forest, illuminating the sturdy man in the distance clearly like a large flashlight.
A face popped out from under Qi Guang's feet. It was the face of Bader. He showed his head and said ferociously: "Qi Guang! I will kill you! I will kill..."
However, before He could finish His words, Qi Guang quickly interrupted Him with his actions.
He drew out the dagger without hesitation and cut his ankle with skillful movements, as if he had experienced it many times before.
Bader was silenced by the knife, and reluctantly returned to Qi Guang's feet. Only the white light that suddenly burst out from his feet indicated that Qi Guang was now in a state of full concentration! Under such white light, Qi Guang did not hesitate, and directly tapped the ground with his toes, and suddenly flew out of the wheelchair!
The next second was just a moment for Qi Guangteng to leap into the air.
A hot scarlet ray burst out from the direction of the sturdy man, instantly piercing through Qi Guang's wheelchair and piercing towards the distant sky!
The red light was like a ferocious dragon, carrying with it incomprehensible might, and it slammed into the distant hilltop. In an instant, it penetrated the mountain peak and roared into the misty clouds again!
Three seconds later.
The mountain in the distance seemed to be cut in half by a sharp knife. A fracture appeared between the peak and the mountain, and the top of the mountain slid down obliquely.
Only the bare mountainside and smooth cross-section remained, telling what had just happened.
Looking at the red rays in the distance, Qi Guang's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
This power...
Without a doubt.
This is a "disaster" level of destructive power!
In other words, in this Yanxia Mountain, besides the "Piercing Man"...
