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 fall 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.
九首神教的一切都是从红莲作为开端的，作为最强者、红莲是当之无愧的领袖一般的人物。
沉睡的青光没什么实力，所以不得不依附在红莲的周围；蓝空和红莲是爱人，所以对红莲完全是唯马首是瞻。
而绿绮对红莲，也有很深刻的情感。
这当然不会是爱情，绿绮本人并没有跟蓝空抢男人的打算。
事实上她估计还是和红莲相处最久的，如果真跟红莲有什么，估计早就发生啥了，还至于让蓝空来捡了漏子？
她对红莲，纯粹是一种类似于“亲情”的纽带。
异种也不是从一开始就是存在的，事实上每一个异种都是从扭曲之中诞生而出、尽管可能因为扭曲的根源而具备许多知识，但是这种知识是冰冷、没有实感的。
就好像是你知道一个风景区，也从网络上见过，但是没有实地前往就绝对不可能知道这个地方有多美丽一样，尽管异种对于社会有一定的了解、但是这种了解想要变成经验，总归需要时间。
所以异种诞生最开始的时候，不少怪物都还能够称得上懵懂。
哪怕他们的性格还是很残忍暴虐，但是至少他们懂得隐藏自己，将自己伪装成人畜无害的类型。
像是红莲和绿绮就是这样。
他们诞生的时间很接近，而且诞生的时候还都是孩子。再加上地点相近，所以他们很凑巧的在生命初期就遇到了对方。
在冰冷陌生的环境里遇到同类大概是很容易让人卸下心防的状况。
因此红莲和绿绮的关系很好。因为红莲比较强壮，诞生的年龄也比较早，所以两个人就像是兄妹，两人在诞生的初期互相扶持、相依为命。
后来八个异种以红莲为中心创立了九首神教，作为一个还算正常的人、绿绮其实并不是很想要加入。但是因为自己那兄长、父亲一般的家人都在其中，甚至于还隐隐是众人的领袖，绿绮就算是不加入也得参与进去。
后来她看到了自己同僚那乱七八糟的行为，心中也有芥蒂。但是因为红莲也在其中，再加上她跟人类也挺难共情的，所以绿绮也就一直漠视到现在。
她并不会主动出去害人，即便是根源被扭曲了，她也只会在必要的程度上对人类动手。因此相比其他人，她甚至还能称得上“善良”。
然而她与白令等人的矛盾却是不可调和的。
与对策局有矛盾是因为，她唯一的亲人红莲，就是被对策局的局长王伟正亲手所杀。
正常人的亲人被他人杀了，哪个人都会怒不可遏，更不用说本就更加情绪化、也更加孤独的异种了。
在王伟正亲手砍下红莲脑袋的时候，绿绮和对策局的矛盾就已经不可调和。
至于白令……
现在红莲的骨灰还藏在丁炎的身体里呢。
而且还是白令亲手加进去的。
但凡绿绮有点脑子，估计都不会跟白令笑呵呵。
在看到丁炎的一瞬间，她估计就会恨不得生啖丁炎血骨，将他扒皮抽筋。
所以说，嗯。
这种小矛盾导致了绿绮是敌人，也只可能是敌人。
想到这里，白令朝着丁炎勾了勾手指。
看着白令的动作，丁炎好奇地凑过来。
然后下一秒钟，白令直接伸出手、把旁边的罪面拿起来。
然后直接把这个面具扣在丁炎的脸上！
在丁炎一愣神的功夫，罪面就被牢牢扣在丁炎的脸上，将他那张茫然的脸戴上一副似哭似笑的面具！
懵逼地看着白令，面具之下的丁炎下意识张大嘴巴：“怎么了先知……卧槽？！”
话语刚从嘴巴缝隙流出来的瞬间，丁炎一扭头，就看到了正蹲在角落、抱着膝盖的小女孩。
这个女孩似乎是没有想到丁炎会戴上面具，抬头看了他一眼，脸上没有什么表情，平淡到完全无动于衷。
然而丁炎就没有这么平静了。
“有鬼？！”
他震惊地后退半步，差点撞到身后的彼得。
彼得不满地看了他一眼，然后小心护住姐姐罗珊，防止还在恢复的姐姐出现什么状况。
而白令则是抬起眼睑、看了他一眼：“大惊小怪的。”
“把这个面具戴牢了，”他淡淡地说道，“接下来绝对不能够摘下这个面具，听到了吗？”
闻言。
虽然丁炎有万般话语想要说，但是他看出来白令并不打算解释，最后不得已只能把自己的话语全部咽下去、小心翼翼地看着那边的罪面。
然后贴着公交车的座椅，一步一步地往前挪、战战兢兢地挪到前排远离罪面的位置。
这家伙，竟然还怕鬼？
白令忍不住摇摇头。
就算丁炎害怕，这个面具也是必须要戴上去的。
此前蓝空和魔女看到丁炎的时候，都能够一眼瞧见他身体里的红莲。而跟红莲相处最久的绿绮，估计丁炎刚靠近她一公里，她就能够察觉到红莲的存在。
这可不利于白令的“红莲潜入计划”。
丁炎未来肯定是要暴露自己红莲身份的，但是很明显，暴露的时机不是现在。
所以白令需要利用某些东西盖住他体内红莲的残骸。
而被镶嵌在罪面眼窝之中的蓝空眼珠，就是一个很好的材料。
一方面这可以让绿绮知道到底是谁解决了蓝空，围聚在丁炎身边、能够让那个女人心生忌惮。
毕竟不管怎么说，蓝空的实力也颇为不俗。
另一方面……
当然是因为作为情侣，当然要用蓝空的眼珠子镇压红莲的气息了。
哪怕是红莲死了，蓝空的眼球都能够用来保卫红莲的气息不向外逸散，不至于彻底泯灭在空气之中。
这难道不是相当可歌可泣的爱情故事吗？ 想到这里，白令微微颔首：‘虽然红莲是死了，蓝空也快死了，但是两个人的眼球和尸体还能够紧紧依偎在一起，仿佛他们之间的爱恋千年不绝……’
这难道不是“大团圆”？ 所以蓝空和红莲其实还要谢谢白令。
不然红莲化成了骨灰，蓝空这辈子估计都找不到了，一辈子就只能沉浸在悲伤和痛苦之中，再也没有人能够跟他玩花里胡哨的玩法。
现在还好，起码蓝空的眼珠子可以和红莲的骨灰葬在一起，缠缠绵绵永不分离……
怀揣着这样的想法，公交车一个甩尾、停在某个阴暗的山涧内。
看了一眼头顶层峦迭嶂的森林，白令知道，他到达目的地了。
从车上下来，靴子轻轻踩踏在坚实的地面上，白令拉了拉自己领口的围巾、歪头看着远处月明星稀的谷口。
“看来我们来得还是最早的，”他说道，语气里却没有一丝意外，“也是，毕竟我们的朋友都很守时。”
“比起预定的时间，现在要稍微早一些。”
看了一眼手机，白令露出了一个微笑。
“好，接下来开始准备一下，为我们那些准时赶来的朋友送上一些惊喜。”
说着，白令朝着谷口缓步而去。
在他的身后，彼得、罗珊和丁炎从公交车上鱼贯而下。
踩着浓重而晦暗的雾气，所有人的背影逐渐隐没在渺茫升起的浓雾之中，隐匿得悄无声息。 —— 另一边，祁光看了一眼手机。
此时此刻他正好看到了白令最后的宣言，要将那些人的幻想全部粉碎。
看到这里，祁光忍不住咂了咂嘴：“这个爱出风头的家伙……”
摇摇头，他放下手机，最后看了一眼远处连环爆散的血烟。
现在吴筱雅大概已经把那个小男孩给引到山涧之中了。
想必那个家伙最后一定会给某些想要看热闹的人一个大礼。
那么现在，自己也是时候稍微活动一下筋骨了。
轻轻拍了拍自己屁股底下的轮椅，祁光操纵着轮椅，朝着密林深处而去。
当走到某个树丛掩映的空地之下，他停止了自己前进的脚步，转而操控着轮椅停在原地。
抬眼看着远处的阴影，祁光平静地说道：“藏什么呢，以为我没有发现你吗？”
他的声音回荡在森林之中，就像是燕子呼啸着穿过树丛，翅膀拂过树梢的轻响。
在这样的声音之下，远处月亮照不到的地方里，隐隐有细细簌簌的脚步声。
片刻以后，一个壮硕的男人一只手扶着苍朽的古木，居高临下地看着祁光。
或许是因为他的身材实在是太过壮实的缘故，所以他身上的衣服看起很不合身，就像是紧紧绷住的塑胶衣、胸口处露出了些许古铜色的皮肤。
在衣领之下，狰狞的红色蜘蛛腿看起来异常显眼。
当注意到祁光的视线之后，那个壮硕的男人直接从小山头上跳下来，沉重的身躯砸在地面上、猛地吹起一阵落叶和尘沙。
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"...
