The car stopped at the foot of Yanxia Mountain. Bai Ling got out of the car and pulled his scarf to cover his neck.

He looked up at the mountain and couldn't help but sigh: "This is Yanxia Mountain."

Qi Guang, who was standing next to him, rolled his eyes when he heard Bai Ling's sigh: "What do you think?"

"You're not here at a good time now," he said casually as he pushed his wheelchair. "If you come in the fall evening or morning and happen to see the morning or evening glow, it would be really beautiful."

Hearing this, Bai Ling turned his head and glanced at Qi Guang: "Do you know a lot about this place?"

Qi Guang smiled and said, "That's for sure."

He looked at the towering mountains in the distance and said leisurely, "I grew up not far from here."

Qi Guang pointed to a certain direction beside the mountain and said, "Look, my hometown is a few dozen kilometers away. It's not a big city, but a small county town at most."

Qi Guang sighed: "When I was a kid, I often came here with my family to do business. At that time, there were not so many problems here. It was still a scenic spot, so many tourists would come here to travel during good times."

"Some people just stupidly sell food and drinks, but I am different. At that time, I liked some fancy things, such as kaleidoscopes and telescopes. I sold them all."

Patting his wheelchair, Qi Guang seemed to be in high spirits, and said with a smile: "You don't know, many things may not be sold in the eyes of local small vendors. But I am different. I will choose the right time and coincidental place to sell some seemingly useless things. Why? Because I have a good eloquence. Even if I don't say something exaggerated, at least my words can make people dizzy and have to buy them."

"For example, when I was a kid, I sold a talisman I got from a Buddhist temple next door to a guy who didn't believe in anything. I found out that the guy didn't really not believe in Buddhism, but just didn't believe in Buddhism. He had a natural liking for Taoism. So I lied to him and said that this thing was passed down by some heavenly master. The guy was so fooled that he spent 500 yuan to buy it from me. It was so funny."

“But this is not very moral, so I stopped doing this afterwards. Instead, I provided things specifically for those who had something on their mind. Those people looked very confused, but in fact they had already made up their minds. When I gave them a push, they thanked me profusely, swept away their previous sorrows, and went down the mountain happily. It was quite interesting…”

As he spoke, Qi Guang couldn't help but sigh.

This sigh was quite melancholy.

Looking at the mountains in the distance, Qi Guang said with some melancholy: "Time flies so fast."

"In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed," he said. "I've been out for so long and have become a small leader. Every day I have small conflicts and frictions with some people and animals. If my family knew about this, they would probably laugh at me for being useless."

Qi Guang was probably lamenting that time passed too quickly and was sad that he had not been able to go home and have more rest for such a long time.

From the time Qi Guang joined the Countermeasures Bureau until now, he seems to have never had a proper vacation.

Although the domestic environment is still relatively peaceful, there are still many places abroad where the situation is relatively complicated. In addition to these routine affairs, Qi Guang is usually responsible for the occasional follow-up treatment due to alien species. Under such work pressure, he really didn't have much time to enjoy the joy of rest.

It's not just Qi Guang, the same goes for everyone else in the Countermeasures Bureau.

Wang Weizheng, needless to say, had to concentrate his attention whenever there was news of a "disaster" level of disaster. Even if he was not necessarily required to take action, he had to stay in the center of the army at all times to ensure that he could move out at the first opportunity under special circumstances;

In addition to Wang Weizheng, there are some powerful people in the Countermeasures Bureau, such as "Xun Mo" and "Xiao Qing" mentioned by the cultist named Chen from the Nine-Headed Divine Cult who kidnapped Sun Yuanrang's girlfriend. One of them needs to be stationed on the peninsula for a long time, and the other needs to stay in Changshan. All of them may not be able to return home for one or two years.

Thinking of this, Bai Ling suddenly turned his head and glanced at Qi Guang: "That's right."

"You said before that Minister Xun is here too?"

Hearing this, Qi Guang turned his head and looked at Bai Ling.

He smiled and said, “That’s right.”

"That guy Xun Mo was transferred here from the peninsula," he laughed happily, "He came here secretly just to deal with the situation of this exercise!"

"It would be good if those guys in this exercise had some sense and didn't act rashly. If they do, we will definitely let those bastards have a taste of what it means to be a great power, to plan ahead, and to act after careful consideration!"

As he spoke, Qi Guang slapped the handle of his wheelchair hard, causing the entire wheelchair to tremble slightly. "Damn it, they tried to play tricks on us! Haha, this time I'm going to teach them a lesson and let them know the consequences of stretching their hands too far!"

Ignoring Qi Guang's madness, Bai Ling's eyes flickered.

He thought thoughtfully: "Xun Mo is the director of a combat department of the Strategy Bureau."

Xun Mo has been stationed in the peninsula all year round to prevent the situation on the peninsula from spreading and affecting the country, thereby causing turmoil in the domestic situation.

The situation on the peninsula was worse. In addition to the countermeasures bureau of their own country, other countries also had their own personnel responsible for guarding the area. Even so, it was only able to maintain a relatively balanced situation.

No one dared to continue to stir up trouble. Once the situation changed, the crisis on the peninsula would most likely expand. Although it would not reach the level of a devastating disaster, it would at least cost the local garrison personnel a lot of effort.

Now that Xun Mo from the Countermeasures Bureau has left the Peninsula, does that mean that the Countermeasures Bureau has found someone on the Peninsula who can replace Xun Mo? In Bai Ling's opinion, Xun Mo is basically a strong man in the same echelon as Qi Guang. Now that Xun Mo has left the Peninsula, it means that someone has replaced him...

Who is it?

Recalling the diary, Bai Ling couldn't help but frowned: "I don't have much impression."

There might be many other strong people in the Countermeasures Bureau besides Xun Mo, Qi Guang and others. But there is no doubt that almost all of these strong people died after the Red Spider's attack.

This also means that there is a long list of powerful human beings who are not recorded in the diary.

This is understandable, after all, not everyone's obituary will be posted online. As for the cemetery, Bailing didn't know where those powerful humans would be buried, let alone whether they were the ones who died in the crusade.

So, it is possible that they are people from the blank period.

Stroking his chin, Bai Ling nodded slightly: "So, in fact, humans are not completely powerless to fight."

'In the final analysis, the failure of the Red Spider crusade was entirely due to the lack of human knowledge of its origins, coupled with a lack of vigilance in the early stages, which led to its annihilation. At the end of the crusade, humans also caused some damage to the Red Spider.'

"So, Origin is not invincible."

The "victory" mentioned here does not rely on stealing homes and intimidation like it did to the witch.

Instead, he used his strength to crush the "Origin" level alien species! In other words, he actually hunted down the "Origin" alien species!

You know, even if we defeat the witch in the future, we will only seriously injure the woman instead of killing her completely.

In the next three years, the only record of mankind's victory over Origin was that one stealing victory. Apart from that, let alone the number of kills, even the number of injuries was no more than three.

That is why future humans will think that "Origin" is invincible and gradually fall into despair, until some die and some are enslaved.

But Bailing felt that "Origin" might not be immortal.

Like "Red Spider", his four cores are actually one of the ways to deal with him.

But it is obvious that these methods are very specific and cannot be thought of by humans who know nothing about their origins.

But Bai Ling could think of it.

His gaze can cross the vast river of time, pass through the layers of high towers of years, and go upstream until he touches the unreachable other side of the future and picks up the only "answer".

This is the meaning of the existence of "prophet".

Provide guidance to others, and stand behind the brave and wise, illuminating their path with the torch that can see through the future.

Thinking of this, Bai Ling smiled.

He patted Qi Guang's wheelchair, and then said earnestly: "Don't worry, Director Qi."

"This time, and those who come after, will surely tremble and fear at their foolish ambitions and their lust for brutality and bloodshed."

"Those who dare to put their claws forward should certainly pay the price they deserve."

Qi Guang: “?”

A question mark slowly appeared on his forehead.

I just said a few words casually. What truth did you understand from my words?

He looked at Bai Ling strangely, thought about it, and decided not to discuss with such a prophetic person.

Anyway, no matter what this guy says in the end, he will have predicted it in advance, and you don’t know exactly what step he will predict. You are not even sure whether what you do is the result that guy expected.

Every step you take forward may be the result of the other party inducing you to move forward. You move forward step by step, only to find in the end that you have already tied your own hands and feet. After jumping into the sweet trap, anyone will lose the motivation to move forward and even doubt themselves.

So he just said unhappily, "Whatever you want."

"I'm going to go to the main control room to take care of some things first. Don't forget to attend the meeting in the afternoon. Wu Xiaoya will notify you when the time comes. Remember not to be late."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but roll his eyes and mutter under his breath: "I'm telling a guy who can predict the future that I'm late?"

"Am I mentally ill or has he always acted like he is mentally ill?"

While whispering something, Qi Guang controlled the wheelchair and slowly moved in a certain direction.

Bai Ling was left standing there alone, with his hands spread out.

He sighed, adjusted his windbreaker, and made sure that the outfit fit him perfectly before he took a step forward.

However, the next second, his brows frowned slightly.

"Um?"

In the sea of ​​consciousness, Bai Ling saw a certain picture.

That was a scene he had not expected.

The precise bullet shot out from the muzzle sprayed with flames, spinning with unstoppable force, crushing the air and hurricane force, dragging a long white line like a meteor, heading straight in a certain direction.

After a very short time, the bullet passed through someone's chest, bringing out a flower of scarlet blood.

Blood spurted out and flowed on the ground. In the bright red, several faces flashed, some with astonishment, some with shock, and some with fear.

With a "bang", the human body fell to the ground with a thud, raising a cloud of dust in the pool of blood that covered the sky. The pale and eerie sunlight was reflected in the broken sand and gravel.

The next second, exclamations rang out!

On the first day of the joint military exercise, within an hour before the exercise even started, someone fired at the competitor...!

And he shot the other person to death! When his consciousness returned to reality, Bai Ling frowned slightly.

He repeatedly watched the future, and time was stretched to near infinity at this moment: "It's obvious who did it, but what's the purpose?"

Is it to exclude competitors?

No, that's obviously not possible.

The nature of joint military exercises determines that once someone kills each other in this exercise, they will inevitably face a series of inevitable messes afterwards.

Any intelligent person would not do such a stupid thing.

And it couldn't be a riot.

Although the nature of the exercise is still a competition, everyone who participated in the exercise was at least reminded: if nothing else, you must be careful and be kind to those seemingly ordinary guys! This is because God knows what these guys are hiding.

And no one can guarantee that the guy he offended not long ago will become his teammate in dealing with a certain alien in the future.

This is very possible.

In the Countermeasures Bureau alone, many people crossed borders and went to other countries to help deal with abnormal matters.

For example, the "Susanoo Disaster" or the "Peninsula Incident", and the current defense of the peninsula.

So no one would be stupid enough to fight with others and leave a bad impression on others.

But no one will take the initiative to hide their shortcomings.

After all, this is a competition, an exercise to compete for the winner. If they win, they will also be proud.

So these possibilities are ruled out.

Then, the rest of the results are obvious.

With his chin propped up by his hand, he looked at the rolling ocean and fell into deep thought: "If we consider the issue of the traitor, then perhaps it will be easier to guess."

'Maybe someone's mind was manipulated,' he mused, 'to shoot someone else on the first day.'

So maybe the traitor didn't want to be a traitor on his own initiative, but his mind was manipulated?

After taking another look at the future in the sea of ​​consciousness, Bai Ling actually found some clues this time.

He vaguely saw that those guys who were holding guns and shooting others seemed to have a hint of blush in their eyes.

This red is hard to spot.

Even if you are standing in front of that person, it is really difficult to detect it without constant observation and a certain degree of prior knowledge.

But Bering finally found it by observing the future countless times.

It seems to be no different from what I expected.

They are manipulated.

So, are they the traitors? Or are they the people hiding behind the traitors?

Thinking so.

Bai Ling chuckled.

'Why do you care so much?'

Anyway, just solve the problem.

With this thought in mind, his consciousness gradually surfaced beneath the surging waves.

Open your eyes and return to the real world.

Without stopping for a moment, he headed towards a certain direction in the distance.
