He raised his head with difficulty and saw the black windbreaker floating in the air passing over his head, like an elusive gap in the clouds.

Covering his wound, Qi Guang coughed, his voice so soft that people wondered if he was going to die in the next second: "If you had come a little later, I would have really died."

Bai Ling stood beside him and glanced down at him.

He sat down, ignoring the mud on the ground beside him, and turned his attention to Qi Guang's feet.

Perhaps he understood what Bai Ling meant, Qi Guang also looked at his feet: "Mistletoe can't suppress him. Of course, it may also be because the mistletoe I used is not effective enough."

In Norse mythology, mistletoe is what killed Balder.

Although they were born into this world after being twisted, because the aliens were created from human will, thoughts and legends, they are also bound by past experiences - for example, "Bloody Mary" always has to be summoned, and the Sin Face always collects fear. Similarly, Balder, the god of light in Norse mythology, also follows the setting that "mistletoe is harmful to him".

Thanks to this setting, Qi Guang was able to stop Balder so easily and effectively.

However, this method is obviously not a panacea.

Putting his hand on his calf, Qi Guang said helplessly: "As Balder uses it more and more times, his fear of mistletoe is getting weaker and weaker. It's like a person who is afraid of insects. If someone keeps scaring him with insects, he will have some resistance to it."

"I have a vague feeling that I can no longer suppress this guy," Qi Guang said. "Although this time it was because of the strange dust, I can also clearly sense Balder's restless ambition - perhaps he is even crazier than I thought."

Obviously, he could no longer suppress this god as easily and simply as before.

Qi Guang originally estimated that he would only have a few years to live, but with recent observations, he felt that this number might have to be cut in half.

Bai Ling remained silent.

Or even he doesn't know what to say now.

Whether it was comfort or promise, it was obviously meaningless to Qi Guang now. If it was because of the fear of death, then Qi Guang would have died on the spot when he sealed Balder and could not bear the torture of this crazy god.

The fact that he is still alive today is enough to show how strong his will to survive is.

In fact, Qi Guang did not need comfort. Telling Bai Ling these things was more about easing the awkwardness of the situation than seeking pity and sympathy.

After all, the guy that he had tried his best to defeat but failed seemed to be killed by Bai Ling in just a few moves. He always felt that something was wrong...

I always feel like I have become a waste now.

With a sigh, Qi Guang turned his head and glanced at Red Spider in the distance: "Then what? What are you going to do with that guy now?"

Following Qi Guang's gaze, Bai Ling's eyes also fell on Red Spider.

At this moment, the blonde woman had lost her original charm and brightness. Instead, she was like a pool of pus, slowly collapsing, flowing to the ground, and seeping into the dirty mud.

In just a few breaths, the once invincible monster turned into a pool of strange liquid, flowing into the ground through the cracks in the sand.

Retracting his gaze, Bai Ling shook his head: "There is no way."

"Starscream will not die," he said, "No one can kill him. Even if all his cores are destroyed, he will eventually be resurrected with the help of other cores. The reason is unclear, but there is only one thing that is certain - the birth of Starscream is by no means accidental, but a natural necessity."

This is something that was recorded in a diary in the past.

As long as there are people in this world who attempt to ignite the flames of revenge against the world because of despair and pain, the Red Spider will be born from the condensed malice of these people and form its own form with a new core.

No one knows the reason, just like no one knows why he won't die. Except for the identity corresponding to his core, everything about Red Spider seems like a mystery.

It's better to say that this is normal.

As the first alien species in the world to achieve "origin", wouldn't it be underestimating the opponent if it could be killed in advance?

In the sea of ​​consciousness, Bering tried many methods. Whether it was killing or cutting, in the end, Red Spider was able to leave the area with a weak energy reaction.

Bering even suspected that unless humans used special weapons, Red Spider would be no different from "immortal".

However, it is hard to say whether this immortal Red Spider is still the same as before.

Unlike Bering, the self in the original world and Bering are equivalent to isotopes. The two have the same soul, and their life trajectories and personality concepts are extremely similar. It is understandable that they regard themselves as different parallel worlds.

However, Starscream is a monster composed of different cores.

Each core may have a completely different life, and even a completely opposite personality. In this case, the personality of Red Spider born from different cores may be different from that of the past four cores.

But as a monster, he probably doesn't care much about this.

But he didn't care, but Bai Ling couldn't help but take it seriously.

Extending his hand, Bering looked at the rapidly fading gray knuckles on his fingers and said softly, "I left a mark in one of his cores, and blocked the possibility of this mark being discovered. Thanks to you hypnotizing Starscream's other core, the only person who can remember this mark so far is probably the person who was marked."

"I believe that when Red Spider is born from the new core in the future, he will definitely be surprised by the mark."

Glancing at Bai Ling, Qi Guang shrugged and said, "Whatever you say, I am no different from a useless person now. If I want to do anything, it depends on you."

Qi Guang pressed his arm lightly and changed his arm back to its original angle: "To be honest, if that guy is really the monster suppressed in the 'Shadow Prison' as you told me, then I can't do anything about him. It would be great if you could do something about it."

"It seems that I need to look for those old guys in China after I return," Qi Guang curled his lips, "like Jing'an Temple, Linghua Gate, oh yes, and the Miqi people."

He chattered on and on for a long time, with nouns popping out of his mouth one after another.

Bai Ling was familiar with these terms. They were the domestic organizations and associations that Qi Guang had mentioned when he was planning to create an organizational framework called the "Special Talents United Union."

The "Special Talents Union" is a union that the country is about to build to recruit hunters - that is, people who hunt alien species. It will be led by the government and ten associations will be selected as pilot projects.

"Ming Zhou" and An Jianxiu's "Chenfeng Chaomu Technology Co., Ltd." are among these ten associations.

Scratching his hair, Qi Guang sighed: "It seems that the establishment of a trade union needs to be put on the agenda as soon as possible."

"Now that even such a monster has emerged, the future will probably only get worse. If this is really the case, then it is still necessary to vigorously promote and publicize it. Although as an official we have the obligation to protect the lives and property of the people, but manpower is limited, so it is still necessary to allow ordinary people to have an additional channel and obtain more information..."

"I'll go and urge the people above me after I get back," Qi Guang said worriedly, "The situation is getting more and more chaotic. It's okay to have a traitor, but now there are so many old guys coming out... Tsk, I need to think about it more..."

Just at this moment.

Bai Ling suddenly looked up at the sky in the distance.

At this moment, the sky was dark, no different from before. But Bai Ling's eyes seemed to penetrate the layers of mist and see the other side in the distance.

After a pause, Bai Ling took out his cell phone from his pocket and walked to An Jianxiu's "corpse".

He snapped his fingers lightly, and gray mist dissipated from all directions, surrounding and gathering around An Jianxiu's body, and directly pulled his body up from the ground.

Chains of mist wrapped around his body, tying An Jianxiu up like a dumpling. His long hair fell in front of his face, looking a little dirty because of the sweat and blood stuck together.

Bai Ling glanced at him and found that the muscles next to the heart that had been dug out by Red Spider were slowly wriggling, gathering together into living tissue like maggots.

The vitality of the "evil ghost in the shadow" is truly amazing.

Bai Ling remembered clearly that the future An Jianxiu was famous for his outrageous vitality.

In the future, many people will hate him to the core, many will be jealous of everything he has, and many will covet An Jianxiu himself...

After all, his method of creating an elite hunter persona as an idol is so easy to make money, and he can reap a lot of wealth even in the future.

You have to know that what An Jianxiu has gained is not comparable to money. Compared to these, the raw materials, weapons and connections that future hunters dream of, An Jianxiu has all of these, and a lot of them. He even has the most critical thing - people's hearts.

His "Morning and Evening" really came at a good time. After the order collapsed and mankind gradually fell into gray despair, many of the star hunters created by An Jianxiu himself actually became the spiritual pillars of many people, making many people crazy and addicted to the hunters' every move and willing to dedicate everything they had.

This is a crazier emotion than simply "chasing stars" and "liking" and it is a psychological escape from seeing it as the only way to survive. People living in a peaceful era rarely have such a situation, but in the future where aliens are rampant, such people are everywhere. It's just that some people choose An Jianxiu's idol because of their strength, and some people choose to madly kill monsters because of their personality, that's all.

There is no distinction between good and bad. After all, most of the mistakes are actually caused by those extremely evil monsters.

Seeing An Jianxiu's heart hole repaired and his face gradually becoming rosy, Bai Ling said nothing and just glanced in the direction to the side.

At this moment, beside An Jianxiu, the shadow that always haunted him was staring at Bai Ling with a very distorted look in his eyes.

Bai Ling could see deep malice and hatred in its sight. Besides that, he could also guess that this shadow must also be filled with fear and dread of him.

Gently putting on the red scarf, Bai Ling said calmly: "Put away your hostility. I won't do anything to you for the time being."

"You are a monster, but you are also shackled with heavy chains. As long as these chains remain, you are nothing more than a harmless bird. For now, I have no idea what you are like."

Hearing Bai Ling's voice, Ying subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon, it became nervous again.

Because it heard Bering say "temporarily".

Ying realized that if anything unusual happened to him, Bai Ling would definitely get rid of him without hesitation.

It didn't know whether Bering could completely wipe it out, but it didn't dare to gamble.

Because it knew very well what kind of monster Red Spider was and how such a monster was dealt with by Bering.

As a different species, no one understands the same species better than the same species.

After being torn apart by Starscream several times, Ying deeply realized how powerful that guy was. It was not out of strength, but something more...special.

It is like ignorant humans standing in front of the ancient and dilapidated Yggdrasil. The closer they get, the more they can feel the evil and darkness rooted in the world.

That's why it is so wary of Bering.

After a moment of silence, Ying glanced at An Jianxiu, and after making sure that he was still unconscious, he said softly, "I know that humans want to eliminate monsters. After all, all alien species are twisted and dark from birth. Devouring humans and killing others is like their nature. Except for a few guys with different twisted roots, most of them are enemies of humans."

"But from an individual perspective, I still hope you can let me go," it looked up at Bai Ling, "I don't want to die, I still want to live."

"Once conscious, no one wants to fall into eternal sleep. What is frightening about death is not the cold and pain, but the loss of consciousness. Can you understand? It's just like sleeping. Once someone dies, no one can wake up again. It's as if they have been disconnected from this world and become a balloon without contact."

Bai Ling remained unmoved by Ying's words.

He just watched it quietly, as if he heard nothing.

Under Bai Ling's indifferent gaze, Ying gritted his teeth subconsciously.

"I know you want to destroy all the monsters in this world, but you don't know that the alien species in this world cannot be destroyed," Ying said quickly, "because the alien species are not born in this world, but in a special place."

"That place is called 'Tianyuan'. I don't know if you have heard of it, but I can tell you that it is very strange and...special."

Ying's voice was very low: "I was created by Qingguang using 'Janus's slime'. In mythology, Janus is the door god, a two-faced god responsible for guarding the door. Because of the special nature of being born as a 'door god', I have gained knowledge from the 'door' since I woke up."

"Behind the 'door' of reality is a different world," Ying said, "where the rules are embodied, and the monsters twisted from the rules control their own rules. The 'light' monsters control all the light in the world, and the 'wind' monsters gather all the winds in the abyss."

"It is a strange place that cannot be described in words. After all, rules have no meaning in it. Humans walking there cannot survive even for a moment, because the rules required for 'survival' do not exist at all."

Ying said as he stole a glance at Bai Ling's reaction.

However, what disappointed it was that even though it said so much, Bering remained normal.

This made Ying feel even more uneasy.

That’s the trouble with negotiating with a prophet.

On the one hand, you will never know whether the information you know is outdated news that the "prophet" has already seen with his own eyes; on the other hand, it is even more impossible for you to know whether the "prophet" has already seen through you and learned about the secrets that you will tell in the future.

If you want to negotiate with the prophet, the only thing you can pray for is whether the other party is in a good mood. If he is in a good mood, he may take what you say seriously.

With his heart beating wildly, Ying continued, "In my ignorant knowledge, Tianyuan seems to have existed for a long time. Rules and monsters of rules are incompatible with each other. Although they are born from the rules, they cannot represent the rules themselves, but are more like... thieves who have stolen power."

It said: "However, in the memory of Janus, the origin of my birth, I seem to have understood that the rules of 'time' do not currently exist in the Abyss."

"There is no flow of time there, it's like a stillness," Ying said, "It's like an isolated island isolated from the world, everything is frozen in an eternal moment..."

Listen to its words.

Bai Ling's eyes flickered imperceptibly.
