Looking at the prophet on the screen, the blond man, or Rodney, narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Prophet?" He glanced at his colleagues around him, "Have you ever heard of someone with a similar title before?"
The colleagues thought about it and said, "No. We have never heard of such a person before."
Rodney pulled a chair over from the side - this was the chair where his mentor, old man Oliver, had sat before.
Sitting on the chair, Rodney tapped the table with his hand: "I have heard of it."
"Three years ago, there was a man who called himself a 'prophet' who claimed that he could see the future and even used it to make money," he said nonchalantly, "but unfortunately, the man disappeared later. Later, it was revealed that the so-called 'prophet' was just a fraud."
As he spoke of fame, his voice was filled with a hint of sarcasm: "Or are you just like that person from three years ago, a fraud who seeks and reputation?"
Listening to Rodney's words, the prophet said nothing, but just looked at him silently.
After a moment, he said, "Mr. Rodney's Chinese is very good."
"As for whether I am a prophet or not, I believe you will know the answer soon."
Under the mask, the prophet's voice was calm: "But before that, I need to remind you. Do you think you have a sure win?"
"You have penetrated the Mist Mountain to the point of being riddled with holes. The eight links of 'wind', 'blood' and 'dust' are all in your favor. 'ashes' will also be achieved soon. Therefore, you have become complacent and are eager to gain recognition from your teacher..."
As the prophet spoke, there was no change in the expression on Chen Youbin's face.
But at the end, a faint light flashed in his eyes.
Over there, the prophet was still talking leisurely, "Yes, this sharp knife plan is indeed very effective. The people on the committee had no time to react because they themselves knew that they were affected. They probably just felt that they seemed to be a little tired recently and often felt a little restless. If it was just normal, the vast majority of people would take it to heart."
As he spoke, the prophet picked up a white object from under the table, put it behind the camera, and said with a smile: "Everyone will know that this is the result of the Hermetic creation - the 'consciousness maggot'."
"It is true that the Hermetic sect is a master of manipulating emotions and minds. Whether it is the secrets of alien species from ancient times to the present, or the creation of weapons that harm the soul, they are second to none. Therefore, your organization, 'Humanity Watch', does not have similar technology."
The prophet shook off the maggots in his hands, folded his hands, and tightened his white gloves: "But you still miscalculated in one point."
"Whether you are Hermetic or Human Watch, you all take yourselves too seriously."
Looking at the camera, the prophet's voice gradually faded: "You remove yourselves from the concept of 'human', call yourself an elite, and talk about human righteousness and the continuation of the race? Yes, this is just your ridiculous desire for control, and your ignorance and narrow-mindedness of thinking that you are better than others and more worthy of steering the boat."
"First, let's talk about the somewhat vague concept of equality for all. Simply controlling the world's population to a certain level is already tantamount to massacre. Even if we consider morality first, this is also a form of capitulationism and a very small social progress. Throwing yourself into the mouths of tigers and wolves like food, stupidity is enough to describe your wisdom, and viciousness is not enough to measure your bottom line. The most despicable people are darker and more upright than you. You are already worthy of calling yourselves "human beings", and even more worthy of manipulating the fate of mankind."
At this point, the prophet's voice barely concealed his respect: "You are just a bunch of conservatives who still expect the emperors to rule over slaves and gods to dominate the fools in the past. You can indulge in the glory of the past."
Faced with the prophet's words, Chen Youbin said nothing but smiled.
Before the prophet finished speaking, he said, "Is that all?"
He stood up again, leaned against the messy desk next to him, and said in a low voice: "If this is what you mean, then I can only say that you are another high-level creature bound by false prosperity and pathetic racial vision."
Rodney pressed his hand heavily on the document beside him, and his words sounded like an opera: "The premise of dignity and equality is life. If people do not have life, then all the so-called dignity and equality will only accelerate the internal consumption of mankind and accelerate our demise."
"You and my teacher both think that humans will fail. What's your reasoning? I'm curious. Is it because you are too knowledgeable? Do you know what secrets are hidden in this world? Or have you given up on yourself and regarded 'confidence' as your only lifeline?"
With his finger resting under the document, Chen Youbin turned his head to look at the prophet, his voice gradually becoming warmer: "Put away your blind confidence that is so arrogant and conceited! You don't even know what humanity is facing!"
"You call yourself a prophet, but do you know what will happen to human society in the future? Everything in the human race will be destroyed, and this world will be drowned..."
And when he finished speaking, the prophet interrupted him: "Of course I know."
"Origin was born, and humanity was surrounded by fear and despair. Everything in the world was heading towards madness. People were only on guard against each other. Monsters could be born around them at any time. The threat of alien species was a constant threat to everyone. Productivity declined slightly, businesses stopped working, and living standards plummeted. This process will continue for a long, long time."
Looking at Rodney, the prophet said fiercely: "I just know this, and I saw it with my own eyes."
"I can see less far than you can. I have seen the more distant future. I have seen your 'Humanity Watch' rising from the insignificant Western Europe. I have seen you call yourself 'Humanity Watch' and put away all the evil and accusations you once had. I have seen your 'Elysian Plan' pushing those who still have dreams for the future back into the abyss in exchange for the favor of the abyss creatures."
At this point, the prophet's tone gradually became sharper under his mask: "The 'paradise' you are promoting in the future is nothing more than a slaughterhouse! An altar where you sacrifice your compatriots in exchange for a little punishment from the alien species! The 'resources' you obtained from Kronos, Hela, and other demon lords are clearly the souls of your compatriots!"
Just now, he finally knew what kind of organization Rodney's "Humanity Watch" was.
This is an organization that is clearly not recorded in the diary.
Even in the diary, there was little praise for "Humanity Watch" itself.
The original self also saw the chaotic situation in Western Europe, and even Western Europe was the first region to fall into the hands of monsters in the future. He originally thought that this was due to the ordinary alien system in Western Europe and the relatively chaotic organizational structure there, and was fortunate that he had the foresight to set up a countermeasures bureau.
According to the timeline of the diary, about a year before the fall of Western Europe, an organization called "Humanity Watch" quickly rose to power.
This organization, with the slogan of "watching over humanity and saving the future", first became famous by purging the once corrupt ruling groups in Western Europe. They steadily recovered part of Western Europe from the aliens step by step and took root there, standing like a garrison without a trace.
This is a very exciting thing, second only to the shock brought about by humans stealing from the demon man's house.
Many people were ecstatic before learning that there were no settlements suitable for humans in Western Europe. Those who had fled Western Europe returned to this place and gathered in the settlements, hoping that "Human Watch" could lead them to rebuild their homes.
However, at the end of the eight years recorded in the diary, "Humanity Watch" was still hiding in the territory they had recovered, and there was no sign of further retreat.
In response, their argument was that a considerable number of alien species had been detected in Western Europe, and that their current numbers were enough to continue retreating. Therefore, they encouraged all those who had left Western Europe to return to their hometowns and fight to reclaim their homes until they could plant their flags under their land again.
This is a temptation that a small number of Western Europeans cannot resist.
Having left their homes, they know too well how beautiful their homeland is. As the first people to fall, they are eager to prove themselves again and return to their homes.
Therefore, every year a huge number of people come to the "Humanity Watch" base.
Then it was like a stone thrown into the sea, without even a wave.
It was not until eight years ago, when humanity was on the verge of total extinction, that a secret file revealed the deeds of Humanity Watch.
"Humanity Watch" took those who came to the base as sacrifices and sent them back to a place called "Paradise".
That place is connected to the "abyss".
"Human Watch" deceived those people, saying that "paradise" is a happy and peaceful place. In this place, they can return to the extraordinary life they had in the past, and they no longer need to consider the threat of alien species. The only thing they need to do is to work hard to produce and provide support for those "Human Watch" members who are "willing" to fight on the front line.
This seems to be an excuse that has some problems. After all, a small number of those who returned to Western Europe were warriors who could fight alien species personally, and retreating to the "paradise" to become frontline logistics was a reasonable choice.
What's more, as front-line personnel, they can indeed help push back the battle to recover their homes. When the rear-line personnel are fighting, those front-line personnel have little sense of participation.
Therefore, few people retreated into the "paradise" without any determination.
However, after this retreat, no one has come out since.
It is also uncertain whether to believe it, but "Human Watch" claims that in order to prevent the invasion of alien species, the existence of "Paradise" must be kept secret throughout the process, and it is absolutely impossible for the outside world to invade.
"Those who are well-armed may be able to deal with the monsters, so hiding them is the only way to protect them." These are the original words of a member.
Moreover, the members who retreated into the "paradise" were also able to communicate with the outside world. In fact, people in the "paradise" would contact those people inside every once in a while, and they looked very happy and cheerful, and they would talk a lot about the "paradise" when they talked.
In such circumstances, people quickly get used to chatting with their friends and family members frequently.
It was not until the end of two years ago that a person who miraculously escaped from the "Paradise" established contact with the outside world. Only then did people know what kind of place the "Paradise" was.
"That is the bridge leading to the abyss. We who retreat into it are like walking under the tongue of an abyss monster. Every step seems to make our bodies solidify. Many people escape from the hands of those demons who hate torturing humans. Their bones are picked out and they are swayed in the wind like dolls. Some people mistakenly enter the spider's nest, and every pore of their body is filled with eggs. They act as a greenhouse for insects all the time until their body functions are destroyed..."
At this point, the man looked horrified: "We are sacrifices, sacrifices used by those guys from 'Humanity Watch' to please the monsters of the abyss!"
When these words came out, the world was shocked!
No one could have imagined that the once dark and majestic "Humanity Watch" would actually send a small number of unarmed humans back into the abyss to torture them! Facing the accusations of the outside world, "Humanity Watch" claimed that they did not do so, but that person was trying to discredit them.
Rodney Halevy, the first seat of Human Watch and the “Fraudster”, faced the accusations of others and simply spread his hands with a smile: “I also know why that person hates and vilifies us so much. You know, everything we do is untraceable.”
"No matter who retreated to the paradise, they are all alive and well now, and they can also contribute to the recovery of their homeland in the paradise. In fact, if you want, we can fully provide evidence and information of the parties involved to prove that our management of those paradise residents is completely ethical."
"On the contrary, it was the person who left the paradise without permission. If I remember correctly, he seems to have a history of taking drugs, right?"
Chen Youbin smiled and said, "We will not discriminate against a drug addict. Anyone who retreats to paradise will be a fighter better than the frontline fighters. Even if you are a drug addict, if you can work hard, you can have a different life from ordinary people. However, it seems that our friend seems to have some... hallucinations because he has not obtained the things he cherishes for a long time?"
"If you are skeptical, you can send someone to the paradise and test the regression to prove the correctness of our words."
As he spoke, Rodney spread his hands, indicating that he had something to say.
No one has come to check into the paradise before, and everyone who has come in claims that no one can check if there is any problem with the paradise.
The previous regression test on the man who escaped from the paradise did find that some of his body showed signs of drug addiction.
Therefore, whether "Human Watch" persecutes its compatriots or not, and whether "Paradise" is an altar for worshipping the creatures of the abyss, has been determined.
Until today, when the prophet, or Bering, heard Rodney's "Human Watch" opinions in person, he was sure that the future "Human Watch" must be the culprit who persecuted countless humans! Bering never thought that it was the "Human Watch" who participated in the turmoil in Yanxia Mountain.
According to the diary, if "Humanity Watch" was troubled by public opinion in the early stage, it could at most be considered a decent organization in the later stage.
Moreover, the rise of this organization was entirely dependent on the recovery of Western Europe, and it was born relatively recently.
He never expected that "Humanity Watch" had already appeared, but just came and quickly went behind the scenes.
This is somewhat similar to the Countermeasures Bureau. Since then, the diary has also thought that the Countermeasures Bureau was established just now. Did you expect that the Countermeasures Bureau had already appeared?
But "Humanity's Watch" is the same as the Countermeasures Bureau.
If the Countermeasures Bureau was established because there was no unspeakable secret and they had to remain anonymous, then Human Watch was established purely because their nature allowed them to appear on a small scale.
After all, the idea of exterminating a small number of humans and leaving some humans to depend on alien species is too anti-human.
The early situation of alien species spreading around the world and the fall of Western Europe probably gave these anti-human elements an opportunity to succeed.
They took advantage of this opportunity to cover themselves up, hide their anti-human side, and only promote their dark and righteous side. And they took advantage of this opportunity to ruthlessly harvest those Western Europeans who were eager to return to their homeland and were full of complexes.
And it's all because of the woman behind him, the "fraudster", Rodney.
Now Bailing can be sure that the woman behind him is definitely a member of the future "Human Watch".
Rodney's words also made him believe that what the original person who escaped from Paradise said was right.
The "land of joy" is an altar, an altar that relies on sacrificing fellow citizens in exchange for punishment!
The thought of this made Bai Ling feel a little nauseous.
He was not a person with low moral values, but he knew that such behavior was almost the same as murder.
It would be fine if only "Blood Rose" Song Qingci was tortured in the future, but there were so many people in Western Europe who received almost the same treatment as Song Qingci...
"Human Watch" first of all, at best Rodney is complete scum.
Thinking of this, Bai Ling's eyes became sharp under the mask.
And Rodney on the opposite side is just too good.
Before hearing Bai Ling's words, he suddenly stood up, staring at Bai Ling's mask.
After a long while, Chen Youbin finally managed to speak out, "Who are you... and why do you know about 'The Land of Promise'?"
Chen Youbin also thought about getting away with it, but after observing Bai Ling for a long time, he was sure that Bai Ling did have a deep understanding of "Promised Land".
After all, he had told us about their deal with the abyss creatures.
Even if Rodney wanted to deny it, he had to at least get something out of Bering's mouth and then deny it all.
In response to Rodney's words, Bai Ling just laughed loudly, with no trace of smile in his voice.
"I've said before, what I saw was less than you thought," he said. "Pull aside the mist of fate, and you can see the blood at the corners of your mouths. That was the mark left before you devoured the corpses of your compatriots, and it is proof of your crimes."
"It validates what you did, and it validates what you are. It validates what you are. You are a bunch of scum who are obsessed with the past."
Following Bai Ling's voice, Rodney was finally able to control his expression.
He looked at Bai Ling with a bright expression: "Oh, that sounds good. Then let me ask you, what can you do? Even if you know what we did, can you stop it yourself?"
"Yes, you can do everything. If you are really a 'prophet', then you are just a prophet!" Rodney raised his head, "You are a superman, and there is no evidence. There is no way to prove what will happen in the future..."
"Besides, you have no future at all!"
At this point, Chen Youbin smiled and said, "Yanxia Mountain has been completely trapped by my people. There is no one inside, and Wang Weizheng and other people from the committee are dealing with other things. You are completely isolated and have no help!"
"The wind of the weak has already blown across Yanxia Mountain. The scarlet blood has already burst, and the dust is also floating under the mountain. Once everything is burned to ashes, it will be enough to bury you all here! And all this will only take two hours! Even if the committee flies over, there is no way to stop it!"
"You are already dead!"
Looking at Rodney's smile, Bering said nothing and just took off his white gloves.
At this moment the moon had risen, and the nearby light shone down on his fingers, making his pale knuckles look like white jade.
Rodney, who was originally smiling, felt as if someone was strangling his throat when he saw Bering's fingers, and his smile disappeared in an instant.
All of this was because of the white ring on Bai Ling's finger that was sparkling with bright moonlight.
When he saw the white ring, Rodney's eyes flashed with surprise and panic for the first time! "Yes, this is possible..." He muttered to himself, "That is..."
Looking at Rodney, Bering laughed again: "Did you notice?"
"The weak power you think you have is now in my hands. And the rising fireworks are about to dissipate into the air."
As he said this, he looked at Rodney with a hint of pity in his eyes: "All your plans have been scrapped."
Before hearing this sentence.
Chen Youbin suddenly raised his head and looked at Bai Ling: "Who are you?!"
He stood up suddenly, his face pressed directly under the screen, his expression distorted and hideous: "Knowing all this, you have made me lose sight of my plan, and even made it go backwards in a disorderly manner... Who are you?! What on earth are you thinking!?"
"Are you afraid that you might make a mistake and cause everyone at the foot of Yanxia Mountain to die here?!"
Rodney must have lost control of his mind, so much so that his voice became much lower.
And Bai Ling just looked at him quietly.
A moment ago, he said vehemently: "As I said later, I saw much less than you think."
"What you think is a solvable puzzle is, in my eyes, an open box. You only need to reach in and you can pick the fruit inside."
As he spoke, Bai Ling also stood up and picked up the camera.
The wooden mask was put on and the distance was shortened, so that his face, which seemed to be laughing and crying, was instantly pasted in the middle of the small screen. There was a sharp look between his eyebrows, as if a Rakshasa with hair and beard was standing in front of him!
Looking at the camera, Bai Ling said calmly: "You think that there is a way to solve the problem of alien species, and you are pessimistic and try to give up, but I want to tell you that this is just a pretense of you victors."
"I will kill my way into the abyss and crush the head of the chief of Human Watch. I will also step into the Sky Abyss and wipe out the concept of alien species. I will personally put an end to your pessimistic and arrogant dream, and let the fragments of this absurd dream lie like weeds on the ground."
"You have killed so many people for your insignificant desire for control and self-satisfaction, and I will make you pay the price for it."
Bering said warmly: "This is your predetermined future, which can be changed and remains the same. Since you dare to steer the ship of mankind, you should pay with blood."
"Whoever gazes into the abyss will eventually be swallowed by it."
Before he finished saying this, he threw away the camera in his hand.
Then he stepped heavily on the camera and crushed it to pieces! After taking off the mask, Bai Ling glanced at Peter next to him: "So, do you understand now?"
Looking at Bering, Peter felt somewhat distraught.
Just now, he also used the video recording equipment that Qi Guang pretended to have, thinking that he could know everything.
It can be said that the two of them are basically looking at the same picture.
Therefore, Peter vaguely saw what the blonde woman, the "fraudster" Robert, said and did.
He sat on the ground in disbelief, his face pale.
"I still find it hard to doubt..." Peter said heavily, "No one on our side will rebel."
Taking off his gloves, Bai Ling said calmly: "There are still many things you can't do."
"This world is just like this, always beyond your expectations, and always within your plans. Sometimes, just the correctness of a choice may lead to eternal damnation."
Patting Peter on the shoulder, Bering said, "Yes, you are slightly better than those who made the wrong choice."
"At most, you still have the chance to 'do it again,'" he said, "to re-choose which direction you want to take your future train."
Hearing this, Peter looked at Bering.
After a long while, he was high.
Then his palm hit his face hard!
After a while, two bright red palm prints appeared under Peter's face, and his originally pale face quickly turned red.
"I understand," he said, his voice gradually lowering in pitch, "I will cherish this opportunity."
Although blood was still flowing from the corners of his eyes like scarlet tears, Bering knew that Peter Daiswei had now regained his usual calmness and rationality.
Glancing at Peter, Bering said fiercely: “Since you are ready, follow me.”
"The first one who comes next will probably have to take the risk and open the Ashes at the front," Bailing said, "to avoid the necessary sacrifice. You and your sister are necessary."
Before hearing Bering's words, Peter nodded heavily.
Then he went to call his sister.
Bai Ling also called Ding Yan, but he also called Li Jingwen.
Because of the "ashes" in the front, there is a high possibility that Starscream will not be present.
If that guy sees Li Jingwen, we will be in trouble.
Thinking of this, Bai Ling clapped his hands and drew the attention of several people towards himself.
When everyone was looking at Bai Ling, he said, "Okay. What's left is the key to this exercise."
"The people watching over humans thought that they would follow the rules step by step if they failed, but now that they know that everything is beyond their expectations, they will choose to go all out. Therefore, we need to stop them first."
"If you understand, get off the bus."
Before finishing this sentence, the eight people looked at each other, and no one had any objection.
They crossed the Bering and got off the bus.
Bai Ling was standing on the bus and glanced at Nightingale whom he had called over.
Nightingale came over and said with a wry smile: "Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with..."
However, before she could finish her words, Bai Ling suddenly pressed her forehead.
In the last second, the Tyrant King's ring flashed a pale white light! Huh? !
Nightingale, whose head was suddenly held down, thought that this was Bailing's attempt to play something, but in the last second, her head trembled slightly! It was as if a needle was piercing her skull, and something was injected into Nightingale's head! Only then did Nightingale realize that something was wrong, but unfortunately, it was too late.
The gray mist around Bai Ling had already dispersed, tightly wrapped around Nightingale's body, binding her tightly like a soft chain, preventing her from moving or even speaking.
Looking at Nightingale, Bai Ling said in a serious tone: "I originally planned to kill you, but after thinking about it, I don't think it's necessary to kill you. Killing you would be a redemption for you. Besides, if I keep you now, there will be no better use for you."
"It's just that I need to give you some 'settings'," Bai Ling said, "After all, I'm not worried about you."
"Doubt me, this is slow."
Before he finished speaking, Bering's seven fingers pressed slightly, as if they were clamping Nightingale's head particularly hard with a pair of pliers.
Under Nightingale's horrified gaze, Bai Ling's lips moved and he said something in a heavy voice.
After a while, the Tyrant King's Ring burst out with brilliant light, breaking into Nightingale's mind like a sharp sword, breaking through the fog in her heart! Eight seconds ago, Bai Ling let go of his hand and dispersed the fog around him.
Without the support of the mist, the nightingale fell softly to the ground, his eyes closed, knowing whether he was alive or dead.
This process did not last long.
About a second ago, the nightingale suddenly opened his eyes.
She looked at Bai Ling and said in a strong voice: "Prophet..."
"BCZ-001 is ready," she said, her face stern, "and can end the operation at any time!"
Looking at Nightingale's profile, which was as soft as steel, a smile appeared on Bai Ling's face.
"Get out of the car," he said, "and let's go after the guys up front."
"The remnants of the Humanity Watch, Red Spider, and the Four-Headed Cult's... Green Qi."
