Her breathing gradually became rapid, her chest rose and fell violently, her teeth clenched tightly, and her mouth corners bulged. She bit her lips with such force that she even broke them. The look in her eyes when she looked at Bai Ling was full of undisguised murderous intent. If eyes could be used as weapons, then Bai Ling would have been cut into pieces by Lu Qi.
Looking at Luqi, Bai Ling said with a smile: "It was a rainy day."
"I think no one understands this better than you," he said, "Thick dark clouds covered the mist, and thunder was mixed in the clouds. Honglian, whose head was chopped off, traveled through the mist, looking for a human who was suitable for him and provided him with a chance to be reborn."
"He is very lucky. There happens to be a person dozens of kilometers away whose power is perfectly matched to his. If he gets into that person's body, he can hide in the identity of a human. Just like a spider building a nest in a warm and narrow room, patiently waiting to reproduce."
With his hand on the diary, Bai Ling said calmly: "The person he chose is someone who knows almost nothing about abnormalities. He knows nothing. Once the Red Lotus attaches itself to that person, it will definitely accumulate strength and make a comeback."
"If nothing unexpected happens, it will take about a year for Honglian to fully recover from his severe injuries. During this year, Honglian will be like a Buddha statue in a temple, solemn and lifeless. But after a year, he will show his sharp fangs and tear through the human skin. Just like the phoenix in the myth, he will be reborn from the ashes and set off a raging fire that will burn the world."
"He almost succeeded," Bai Ling said with a smile, "but unfortunately, fate is unpredictable. Those who try to escape the dead end will only be forced to another fork in the road, with a deep abyss in front of them."
"Because of a tiny reason, Honglian failed at the last minute and died on the spot."
Looking up, Bai Ling's voice gradually calmed down: "His remains were suppressed in the human body, serving as a stepping stone for others to advance, allowing that body to step up to the dome step by step. His proud flame was also captured, serving as fuel for others to advance, lighting a faint beacon for the progress of those who come after him. Just like a captive poultry, using its remains to provide people with food and warmth."
"Therefore, please allow me to express my regards to Honglian and his relatives."
Bai Ling smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for your unremitting efforts in seeking a way out for mankind, and for your willingness to sacrifice your lives and devote yourself to the poor and weak. You are truly good friends of mankind."
The words fell.
Luqi finally couldn't bear the rage in her heart any longer.
If she was still enduring and trying to get some information from Bai Ling's words before, now she only had one thought in her mind, like a huge rock blocking the flow of her thoughts! "Kill you!" Lu Qi's lips cracked, and blood oozed from the corners of her mouth, "I will definitely kill you, dig out your heart, and put it in front of the statue of Hong Lian!!"
As she spoke, she tapped the ground with her toes and rushed forward like a cannonball!
Bai Ling glanced at Lu Qi who was running towards him and stroked his chin: "It's really interesting. When facing this problem, you and Lan Kong behaved equally irrationally."
"Is Honglian so important to you? Or is there some unspeakable tacit understanding between my sister and sister-in-law?"
With a chuckle, Bai Ling picked up the diary, turned around and walked towards the man in the white coat beside him.
He turned his back to Luqi, as if he had completely ignored her, and his movements were relaxed and natural, as if he was strolling leisurely.
This undoubtedly angered Luqi even more.
She gritted her teeth and hugged him from behind with her left arm.
The next second, her arm swayed like ripples in the sea, and her original limbs turned into flowing liquid, with bones and muscles exposed to the air! Then, as if some kind of light scalpel cut off her muscles and blood vessels, the originally fluid arm instantly condensed into a sharp bone blade that flashed with cold light. There were several sharp spikes on the long blade with distinct joints, which looked ferocious and sinister! This was Luqi's ability. She could freely change her body structure.
In fact, Luqi herself is not specialized in combat. Compared with Lankong, she is much weaker.
Her real strengths lie in disguise and intelligence.
Because she can change her body at will, she can change her appearance at will. No matter whether she is tall or short, fat or thin, as long as she wants, she can change into the corresponding appearance.
It is precisely because of this ability that Luqi, even though she is an alien species, can lurk in human urban areas more than a year later and even go shopping in shopping malls.
It can be said that this is an ability that will be very troublesome when encountered in special circumstances, but it is relatively poor in actual combat.
Of course, this mainly means that Luqi herself has poor fighting talent.
If she uses this ability well, she can do a lot of things. Bai Ling himself has many powerful attack methods against this ability. But how can I put it? Luqi's combat level is too poor, and she has no knowledge of biology and physics, so she can't make good use of this ability.
In short, Luqi is illiterate and cannot make good use of her skills.
Although she was classified as "dangerous", Luqi herself was completely incomparable to combat-specialized aliens like Lankong. The reason why she was selected as "dangerous" was mainly because her ability had great potential harm and was very dangerous to humans.
After all, a person who can change his appearance and even his body structure at will is likely to cause considerable hidden dangers in modern society.
But if a fight really breaks out, it's probably going to be just like that.
If we discuss the destructive power of the battle, Luqi would probably be at a loss even against Lankong.
But this doesn't mean that Luqi is a complete weakling.
In fact, although she has poor fighting talent, she has rich combat experience.
To put it simply, you know the routines and can use them, but you just can't innovate.
If we were to rank the alien species that Bai Ling has encountered so far, Luqi would probably be ranked relatively low, perhaps even lower than Qingguang.
You have to know that Qingguang's abilities were restrained by Bai Ling himself. To be honest, he was still very dangerous.
However, Luqi is not even as good as Qingguang.
So instead of catching this guy himself, Bai Ling is now thinking about other things.
When he was about to step down from the workbench, Luqi had almost rushed to a position several meters in front of him, and the sharp bone blade would soon be able to pierce his heart.
However, this "very fast" is just "very fast" after all.
When Luqi's bone blade pierced the air, a dagger next to it suddenly shot out from the gap, like a fallen flower blown down by the wind, and hit Luqi's bone blade with a "ding-dong" sound. It was soft but very tough, and it knocked her bone blade away by several centimeters!
At the same time, another dagger drew out a flowing white light and pierced towards Luqi's neck!
Um?!
Feeling the murderous aura coming from beside her, Luqi trembled all over and moved sideways a few steps, barely avoiding the sharp dagger.
With her toes tapping on the ground, Luqi looked up at the direction where the dagger was thrown.
It was the expressionless blonde woman standing at the door of the laboratory.
At the moment, the blonde woman was holding a few daggers in her hands. From Luqi's perspective, those daggers seemed to have a somewhat ominous and strange green color, which made people's scalps tingle.
This thing is poisoned.
Almost in the blink of an eye, such a thought flashed through Luqi's mind.
She subconsciously touched her neck, feeling the sharpness of the dagger as it slid past her skin, and the expression on her face became increasingly gloomy.
Taking a deep breath, Luqi looked at the blonde woman in the distance and whispered, "Who are you?"
Staring at Luqi, the blonde woman stiffly replied, "Night Squad, Nightingale."
After introducing herself, the blonde woman took out a cell phone from her pocket and said intermittently: "Operation code 003, 'Snake Head' plan activated, requesting approval."
Soon, Bai Ling beside him coughed and said, "Allowed."
Thinking of this, Bai Ling couldn't help but start to wonder: "The consciousness modification ability of the Tyrant King Ring seems a bit rigid, right? I clearly set it to apply to the Mingri main control console first, and apply to the leader when there is a leader next to me, but it seems that Nightingale will still follow the order one by one..."
Just like a program, it is stubborn and inflexible.
It's no wonder. After all, the Nightingale's consciousness was changed in a sloppy manner, so some abnormalities are inevitable.
Thinking of this, Bai Ling retracted his gaze.
这就是他为什么不去管绿绮的原因之一。
因为绿绮很弱，所以白令并不担心她能够惹出什么风浪来。
恰好，白令又对夜莺本人的实力有些好奇。
所以他估摸着，看看要不要让夜莺跟绿绮干一架，看看双方的水平。
这不是异想天开，作为嘉宁公司特别行动小队的队长，夜莺的实力水平绝对算不上差。虽然不一定能干得过“青光”，但是姑且还是可以和绿绮过两招的。
所以让她跟绿绮打一架，正好让白令琢磨琢磨她的上下限在哪儿。
而且不管怎么说，看两个女人打架还是很有意思的。
在得到了他的应允之后，夜莺的双手伸向腰间，抽取出更多的匕首。
当她收回手的时候，指缝之间已经夹着几柄寒光闪闪的锐器，面无表情地看着远处的绿绮！ 注意到夜莺的目光，绿绮扭头看了一眼淡笑着的白令。
真该死。
看着游刃有余的白令，绿绮暗地里咬着牙齿。
她感觉自己受到了极大的羞辱。
明明自己是抱着必杀的决心朝着白令攻击的，但是这个家伙竟然完全不在意自己、就像是灰尘落在衣服上一般漫不经心，然后让手底下的人来对付自己……
这种已经不算是漠视，几乎可以被称之为“蔑视”的态度让绿绮感到越发的恼火。
但很明显，现在她没有办法越过那个女人直接去找白令。
眼神闪烁，看着远处的夜莺，绿绮长长地吸了一口气。
然后缓缓吐了出来。
伴随着绿绮的呼吸，她原本不着片缕的身体上，血肉开始宛如积木一般翻动。
鲜红的肌肉组织就像是被人拧动的模仿，一块又一块地翻出来，崭新的角质层覆盖在体表上、构筑出细软但却意外柔韧的“盔甲”。
抬起头，绿绮眯着眼睛、看向远处的夜莺。
“那我就先杀了你。”她说道。
而另一边。
白令已经走到白大褂的旁边了。
此时此刻这个白大褂正难以置信地看着远处缠斗在一起的绿绮和夜莺，喃喃自语道：“夜莺……？”
“为什么她会在这里，又为什么会和绿绮打在一起？”他迷茫地自言自语，“难道说她背叛了？不，仅仅只是她，不可能走到这里……”
白大褂的三观似乎是受到了极大的冲击，一时半会儿竟然没有注意到白令从旁边拉了一张椅子坐在自己身边。
手指轻轻叩着桌面，白令笑眯眯地看着白大褂：“稍安勿躁，秦先生。”
“比起旁边的战斗，我觉得应该是你自己的状态更重要一些，不是吗？”
他的话语很明显惊醒了原本思绪混乱的白大褂。这个可怜的家伙猛地抬起头，惊魂未定地看着白令，整个人豁然起身、靠在墙壁上，声色俱厉地说道：“你想干什么？！我告诉你，如果你敢对我们动手，‘人类守望’是不会放过你的！”
看着像是炸毛的猫一样惊恐万分的白大褂，白令淡笑着说道：“放轻松一些，秦先生。”
他扬起自己手上的日志：“只是稍微有一些小问题，想要……嗯，从你这边获取一些回答而已。”
注意到白令手边的日志，或许是因为想到对方有所需，白大褂原本扑通扑通跳的心渐渐平息了一些。
虽然还靠在墙边，但是他起码讲话不至于那么一惊一乍：“你放弃吧！我是绝对不会告诉你任何东西的，任何！”
听着白大褂的声音，白令摇摇头：“我这不是‘征求意见’。”
“是‘陈述事实’。”
说着，他的手轻轻按在白大褂的脸上。
手指上的白色指环猛然爆发出明亮刺目的光芒，就像是锥子一样狠狠穿进白大褂的脑海里，让他的大脑宛如被电钻扎出孔洞的墙壁一般摇晃、疼痛！ 他甚至感觉自己置身在蒸煮着的海洋之中，炽热的白色光芒灼烧着他的意志和精神、让他的脸扭曲在一起，眼泪和鼻涕如同水一般落下。
“呃呃……啊……”
白大褂的眼球凸起，手臂无力地垂落下来。
此时此刻他的脸已经一团乱糟，眼神毫无焦距、嘴角口水滴落在地面上，将他的白大褂染湿。
淡漠地看着这个忍受了剧烈疼痛的男人，白令的语气毫无起伏：“其实，你本不需要这么痛苦。毕竟我并不喜欢拷问，而且比起在拷问上浪费时间，我更喜欢把时间投入到有价值的意义上去。”
“但是很不凑巧的是，在时间的夹缝之中，你告诉我的东西让我不是很舒服。原本我认为作为一个研究员，应该做不出什么太过伤天害理的事情。但是后来我突然意识到，纯粹而理性的人反而更容易跨越道德的鸿沟。”
收回手，白令抽出旁边的纸巾、轻轻擦拭着手上的液体：“所以我想了想，还是决定稍微用一点手段，让你感受一些痛苦。”
“毕竟，未来的你身上所遭受的一切并不会反馈在现在的你身上，不是吗？”
意识稍微回潮的白大褂张开嘴，茫然地看着白令。
他不知道白令在说什么，但是他察觉到，自己接下来似乎……不会很好过。
从口袋里重新掏出白色手套戴在手上，白令笑着说道：“很好，看来你稍微恢复了一点。那么现在，让我们开始愉快地讨论吧。”
“首先，第一个问题，”白令看了一眼日志，“嗯，既然是第一个问题，那么我们就先从简单的问题上开始。”
“在你日志的第三天提到，绿绮被运送进这个实验设施里。然后我想请问一下秦先生，在看到不着片缕的绿绮小姐时，你是不是感觉到了久违的冲动？”
抬眼看着脸色逐渐有了变化的白大褂，白令淡笑说道：“毕竟你是一个有案底的、实打实的变态啊。”
面对白令的提问，白大褂“呃”了两声，表情狰狞而异常。
他的眼神闪烁，似乎是在思考该怎么回答这个问题。
然而白令只是摇摇头：“看来是有了。该说不愧是投靠深渊的人渣吗？不过想到在还未剪定的时间线上那布满荆棘的乐土，倒是不怎么令人惊讶。”
“那么第二个问题，人类守望这次是打算利用这个研究基地、把烟霞山的山地构造彻底改变，让其成为可以喷发的火山？”
低头看了一眼手上的日志，白令平静地说道：“你们是打算利用火山灰再配合粉尘，然后让‘穿刺公’与火山结合，成为鲜血和火焰的融合体。紧接着把这个融合体送给九首神教，以填补他们失却红莲的空缺，让他们能够如期举行蛇神祭典？”
当这句话一说出来。
原本还在那儿喘着的白大褂猛然抬头看向白令！
他剧烈咳嗽着：“你……你在开什么玩笑？什么穿刺公，什么九首神、我根本就，咳，不清楚……”
面对喘息不已的白大褂，白令轻笑了一声：“我不是说了吗，我不是在‘征求意见’，而是在‘陈述事实’。”
“毕竟这本来就是你告诉我的，我只不过是复述一遍而已。”
面对白令的淡笑，白大褂心中一片震恐。
眼下白大褂可以确定，这个突然出现的男人、绝对知道某些特殊的隐秘。
但是他是怎么知道的？！他又是从什么渠道获得这些消息的？！ 这不可能，哪怕是自己都不完全清楚事情的全貌，但是对方竟然直接轻描淡写地将这些给说出来了……
他到底是谁？！
想到这里，白大褂看向白令的眼神终于开始出现了一丝惊恐。
然而白令对这种目光毫不在意。
重新把目光放在日志上，白令紧接着抛出了第三个问题：“至于第三个问题，这倒算是一个意外的收获。我想想，能不能请秦先生告诉我，你给绿绮用的这个特殊装置为什么会有‘赫尔墨斯派’的标记？”
“而且我之前听绿绮小姐的意思，这个装置似乎是模仿‘深渊’的？”说着，白令眯起眼睛，“难道说赫尔墨斯派的人和深渊也有关系？”
话音落下。
原本剧烈咳嗽的白大褂缓缓停止了自己的动作。
他像是意识到了什么的模样，重新看向白令，嘴角扯出一个轻蔑的笑容：“你都知道这里了，看来你获得的信息很全面。”
“不过，你要是以为我会彻底把这些东西告诉……”
然而还没等他的话说完，白令就合上日志，笑眯眯地说道：“我知道了，谢谢你的解答。”
“‘赫尔墨斯’派的一支在人类守望是高层对吧？”他轻笑了一声，“而你的老师，某位赫尔墨斯派的成员是人类守望的第五席，‘莱斯特’。”
"But it's really interesting that this Mr. Lester would actually drag his own apprentice to do human experiments together, and the sexual fetishes of the two of you are surprisingly similar. Let me think about it, in order to revive the so-called 'Philosopher's Stone', more than two thousand little boys and girls have been killed by you two over the years, right?"
"You two are really two despicable pieces of dirt."
As Bai Ling narrated, the man in the white coat, who had been gritting his teeth like a heroic hero ready to sacrifice himself, was stunned.
He looked at Bai Ling in disbelief, and the contemptuous smile he had before collapsed like snowflakes: "You, what do you know...?!"
Putting the diary into the handbag, Bai Ling turned his head to look at the white coat and said meaningfully: "I told you so."
He uttered the third repetitive sentence here: "I am not 'asking for opinions', I am just 'stating the facts'."
"Then the main content of this question ends here," Bai Ling said, "Thank you very much for participating, Mr. Qin. At the same time, we have prepared a generous prize for you..."
Putting his hand on the white coat's face again, Bai Ling's voice turned cold: "You're welcome."
This time, the white light really was like the sun, piercing straight into the mind of the man in the white coat!
The next second, the man in the white coat clearly felt the sharp pain in his brain, as if it was pressed tightly against a stove! "Ah...Ah!!!"
He covered his head and tried desperately to break free from Bai Ling's grasp.
However, Bai Ling just held him tightly, making him unable to move at all.
"Kill me, kill me!" the man in the white coat screamed at the top of his lungs, "It's so hot! It's so hot!!"
"I'll tell you everything, just kill me...Kill me!!!"
His body twisted uncontrollably, the temperature of his body surface gradually increased, his face became redder, and his facial features were twisted together. This time it was no longer tears and snot, but blood that flowed from all the places where it could flow!
Looking at the white coat indifferently, Bai Ling said nothing.
This is a complete scumbag and lunatic.
Moreover, such people are more dangerous than Lan Kong and Nightingale.
Because they are much more "rational" than the twisted aliens.
Taking his hand back, Bai Ling looked at him calmly.
"Now you have completely lost your enthusiasm," he said to the white coat, "You will lose interest in everything, whether it is special behavior or taking some highly addictive drugs, you will not get any pleasure from it. On the contrary, the more you touch this kind of thing, the more extreme rejection and pain you will feel."
"You will be pessimistic about everything, and all happiness will make you feel painful. Fear will accompany you, even if you walk on a street full of people, you will feel that something is chasing you. It's like a thorn in your flesh, and you can't escape it."
Picking up the handbag, Bai Ling said calmly: "I won't kill you, but I think this is probably more valuable than simply killing you."
The Tyrant King's Ring can be said to be the best tool for punishment.
As long as they are ordinary humans with no special abilities and not very strong consciousness, Bering has full confidence that the "settings" he modified on them will last forever.
After all, this is absolute "power".
Thinking of this, Bering stopped looking at the white coat falling behind him and started thinking: "But just as I expected, there are Hermetic people among the Human Watch. I originally thought that this sect had completely disappeared into history, but now it seems that there are still some remnants left."
"As expected of a madman who dares to create an alien species, he has even created a device to simulate the abyss," Bering looked at the machine in the distance, thoughts flashing in his mind, "I originally thought that only witches could open the abyss, but now it seems that the Hermetic sect may also have some special ways to enter the abyss."
But shouldn't the abyss be open yet? According to the diary, Tartarus is clearly closed now.
So how did those people from Hermes enter the abyss and imitate this device that can simulate the abyss...
Or is it that the abyss in the past has not been closed, and in the distant past, the abyss was even near humans?
Thinking of this, Bai Ling's expression gradually became serious.
"The Abyss is fine, the key is the 'Abyss of Heaven', which is said to be the place where the alien species originated."
What would a place like that be like?
Even "concept distortion", what kind of scenery would it be in a place where concepts can be distorted...
With similar thoughts in mind, Bai Ling's communicator suddenly rang.
He turned on the communicator, and as expected, he heard the voices of Peter and Ding Yan.
"We have arrived at the laboratory you mentioned and have seen the strange device!" Peter shouted, kicking the security guard whose body was broken into two pieces. "Now the sacrifice has been successful and we can go in. So what should we do next?"
After looking at the time, Bai Ling smiled and said to the communicator: "Start it."
Um??
Peter looked at the communicator in confusion: "What is starting?"
After taking a look at the thing on his head, Peter's voice rose twice: "You want me to start this?!"
It was a hot, gleaming core.
Just by looking at it, Peter could feel the burning flames hidden in it! Peter had no doubt that if he released this thing, he would be burned to ashes in the first place! But now, that guy actually wanted him to open this thing? !
Am I crazy or is that guy crazy? !
Peter began to doubt Bering's mind again.
However, Bai Ling just sat in the chair and said calmly: "Yes, start it."
"Although it will allow the Impaler to evolve, the Impaler has been lured away. Right now, this thing is just a troublesome Fiery Core."
"Activate this core. As long as it doesn't come into contact with 'blood', it will be beneficial to you and the humans on Yanxia Mountain," Bai Ling said. "It may even become a pillar of the future!"
Listen to Bai Ling's words.
Peter felt that his mind was not turning around.
But before he could react, the next second, Ding Yan, who was wearing a mask, suddenly stepped forward.
Then he pressed the green button on the console hard! Seeing Ding Yan's actions, Peter's face turned as green as the button.
He took two steps forward, grabbed Ding Yan by the collar, and shouted angrily, "Are you crazy?!"
Facing Peter's angry expression, Ding Yan was not afraid at all: "Didn't you hear what was said in the communicator? Turning this thing on will be good for us!"
"The prophet is never wrong. If something goes wrong, it's part of the plan!" he said loudly.
Looking at the blindly confident Ding Yan, Peter subconsciously let go of his hand.
He really didn't know where this guy's unreasonable confidence in that man came from.
Taking a look at the fiery core that had begun to tremble violently, Peter gritted his teeth, held the communicator tightly, and shouted, "I believe you this time!"
"Now that it's open, what do we do?!"
Imagining Peter's distorted face, Bering smiled and said, "Next, you don't have to do anything."
"Once Rodney and his guys get here, we will be the hosts and they will be the guests..."
However, before he could finish his words, Bai Ling's expression suddenly changed! He suddenly raised his head and looked in a certain direction, his sight seemed to penetrate the heavy building and projected all the way to the other side of the distance! "Qi Guang...?!"
