There is no way around it. Even if one has the ability to see into the future and see into the darkness, without a glimmer of light to illuminate, the unknown realm will still be as dark as the eternal night.
And now, both Shadow and the Tyrant King's rings brought similar messages to Bering.
That is, in the "Heavenly Abyss", alien species born from the rules stole the original authority.
So does this mean that the birth of alien species is not actually like the laws of physics, appearing in the past when time cannot be seen?
They may be monsters that were created for some reason. They are closely related to humans, but they came into this world with the intention of exterminating humans.
But this brings up another problem.
After taking a look at the shadow, Bai Ling seemed to be moved.
His spirit dived into the sea of consciousness, staring at the waves in front of him in the rolling ocean.
Under the rolling waves, Bering's sight penetrated the iron-gray sea water and was brought into the ocean by dots of white foam, diving down and down.
His voice echoed in the dark ocean, and reached his ears through the layers of water that were like a barrier: "I have a question. Since the alien species were born from the abyss, how did they come to the human world?"
This question is very important.
Although the Tyrant King said that if one wants to open the Sky Abyss, one must advance through the "Abyss", but Bailing feels that the conditions may not necessarily be so rigid.
Since alien species can be born from the Abyss and come to the human world and not all come from one place, it may mean that there is more than one entrance to the Abyss.
So far, the information about the "Abyss" is in the hands of the witch, and now that guy is estimated to be unlikely to appear for a long time. Therefore, Bai Ling has no way to get clues from her, so he naturally needs to find some possible methods.
In the future under the ocean, Ying faced this question and answered hesitantly: "This... I am not sure either."
It glanced at Bai Ling secretly, and then quickly said: "But I can be sure of one thing, that is, there is definitely more than one gate to the 'Abyss of Heaven'. If my memory is correct, there may be a gate to the Abyss of Heaven on the peninsula... where the great disaster broke out in the past!"
"In addition to the peninsula, the island country where the Susano War occurred may also have a gate to the abyss..."
Looking at Bai Ling, Ying said, "Because the alien species born from 'Myth Distortion' must be monsters that came out of the Abyss! 'Concept Distortion' cannot leave the Abyss, and 'Consciousness' and 'Legends', some are born in the Abyss, some are not."
"But the 'Myth Twist' must have been born in the Abyss, and it is the highest level that can enter and exit the Abyss!" Ying said, "Those higher than this cannot pass through the gate and enter the world."
"So if we can find the place where 'Myth Twist' was born, then we will most likely find the passage to the Abyss!"
Having said that, Ying took a deep breath.
Just now it could be said that it spoke out everything it knew without stopping. It felt like its head was full of messy knowledge, its mouth was dry and tired, and its head ached as if it had revealed a forbidden key.
But there is no other way. In order to survive, Ying must now show his loyalty to Bai Ling.
It didn't know whether Bering was stronger than those "Conceptual Distortion" or "Disaster" level monsters, but it knew that those guys' swords couldn't cut it. How could it be cut by the swords of aliens when it was far away in the real world?
But Bering was different.
He could really crush himself to death.
So Ying is very smart, and basically answers whatever Bering asks.
So far, all it can hope for is its docile and obedient attitude, and pray that such an attitude can show that it firmly stands on the side of humans, so as to obtain the grace of not killing from the gentleman in front of it.
Bering also understood this.
So in the sea of consciousness, he unceremoniously threw out all his questions: "Tell me about 'conceptual distortion'."
Ying: "This... I'm not very clear. But I know that most of the rules in Tianyuan have already given birth to alien species. There are only a few extremely mysterious rules that have not yet produced alien species."
"For example, 'life' is the sum of all living things, the foundation for all living things to breathe and survive," Ying said. "Because this rule has not been seized by the aliens, the lives of the aliens are in their own hands. However, if the rule of 'life' also gives birth to monsters, then everyone's life will be in the hands of that alien, just like dancing in shackles."
"And death, because it is a rule corresponding to life. If life does not appear, then death will probably not appear either."
After hesitating for a moment, Ying continued, "And some special rules besides these. For example, 'soul' is the concept of the spiritual world. The consciousness and thinking of all living things are within this rule. This is also one of the rules that has not been obtained."
It glanced at Bai Ling and said, "But I heard that...some humans once entered the Abyss and obtained some of the rules of the 'soul'..."
After hearing Ying's words, Bai Ling immediately thought of a noun.
"Hermes".
As masters of the soul, they can even create monsters that are completely different from human life forms, such as artificial aliens. In addition, the weapons they designed even make the gods afraid of them, and Starscream needs to deal with them with caution.
Perhaps they entered the "Abyss", stole some of the laws of the soul, and finally used them in "alchemy"...
Thinking of this, Bai Ling's eyes flickered.
Soon, he asked the question that concerned him the most: "You just said, time?"
After Ying asked this question, he really wanted to get the answer.
After all, I have been linked to... "time" too many times.
The Weaver said that he mastered "time", but when asked, he couldn't explain it; El also said that he was the "recipient of the authority of time", and Qi Guang also said in the past that he was the so-called "eternal time".
It seems that I am inseparable from the word "time".
And to some extent, "prophet" may really be inextricably linked to the word "time".
The future is something that happens after the present, just like a line. The current time is divided into countless nodes, and Bering happens to be able to choose a node to watch.
So does it mean that... if you acquire it yourself, you really have a part of "time"?
Thinking of this, Bai Ling's eyes flickered more and more.
Ying, on the other hand, had no doubts and thought that Bai Ling was just curious about the situation between Tianyuan and Bai Ling. "As for 'time', I really don't know."
With an awkward smile, Ying said helplessly: "You know, I am just a part of the door god. Even the door god may not be able to grasp the whereabouts of 'time', not to mention that I am just a small part of it..."
"'Time' is the most mysterious and strange law," Ying's face gradually became serious, "No one can master time, because the weight required to bear is far beyond the weight of all living things. Even the alien species born from the distortion of the rules may not be able to fight against time."
“If life, death, soul and other rules are the top of the pyramid, then time is the earth that supports them and the sky that accommodates them. Without time, everything will be out of place.”
Ying coughed and said, "Of course, these are just some of my thoughts. As for the sci-fi saying that 'the fourth dimension of four-dimensional creatures is time', I personally deny it. This kind of physical thing is mostly deductions made by you humans... us humans with limited knowledge when our own knowledge is relatively poor. In fact, the real fourth dimension is not that mysterious, but it is not that simple either... But this has nothing to do with the topic, and I don't know much about physics either."
Shaking his head, Ying continued, "To be honest, before you showed your ability, I always thought that there was no user of the ability of 'time' in this world. But the ability of 'prophet' is inseparable from time no matter how you look at it, so I can't make a conclusion now."
"Perhaps only by entering the abyss and finding that illusory time can I unlock your secret."
Looking at Ying, Bai Ling nodded slightly: "Yes, it is necessary to go to Tianyuan."
On the one hand, if you want to completely eliminate alien species, you must erase the rules that give birth to alien species in the Abyss.
On the other hand, Bai Ling is very curious about himself in the original world and his current situation.
不管是原世界的自己怎么把现在的白令拉过来，还是“预知未来”能力、以及能力需要支付的代价到底代表着什么，都很值得去探寻。
而这就需要找到天渊的入口。
首先可以确定的入口有，“魔女”所掌握的深渊，以及西欧的“人类守望”。
作为跟深渊生物做交易的内奸，“人类守望”估计多半会和“深渊”通道有关。而只要和深渊有关，就必然能够顺延着向下，找到异种真正的根源所在。
除此之外，还有“神话扭曲”异种的诞生地点。
已知的有岛国、国内、还有西欧。这三个地方都存在过神话扭曲的痕迹，其中岛国的痕迹最为明显，危险性也最低。
毕竟“须佐乱祸”是切实被结束的问题，而目前的半岛以及西欧……
那可真是一个赛一个的危险。
所以白令在稍作斟酌之后，就下了决定：“先在国内把新海市的事情给解决了，等到之后看看是前往岛国一趟，还是继续去其他‘神话扭曲’诞生出来的地点。”
天渊，他是必须要去的！
想到这里，他看了一眼影。
念头一动，下一秒钟，白令的意识就从翻滚的海洋之中浮了上来。
在一阵灰黑色的浪涌之下，他从“未来”回到了“现在”。
眼下的影还在惴惴不安地看着自己。
就在不久之前，它才刚刚向白令讨饶，表示自己绝对不会对人类做什么，一定遵纪守法、做一个对社会有意义的青年。
眼下的它感觉就像是蹲在绞刑架上，等待着绳索到底是扔下来、还是被剪开的。
很快，审判官就给出了他的意思：“作为门神诞生出来的派生体，你已经完全融入了安见修的身体。虽然说作为我异种，但是伱扭曲的根源并非绝对的错误。”
看着影，白令轻声说道：“扭曲的‘自恋’，由此而诞生出来的你对‘自己’怀有着特殊的情感。‘门神’具有阴阳两性，因此而衍生出来了特殊的情感。在这样的情感驱动下，你想要彻底杀了自己、占有自己、成为新的自己。不过因为你的特殊性，你无法完全消灭掉原有的个体，只能够一步步蚕食。”
“所以，从长远的角度来看，你是一段时间内无害，未来会成为隐患的类型。”
看着白令，影浑身发抖。
它感觉自己就像是彻底被扒光了站在白令面前一样，没有一丝秘密。
在初夏的时节，它竟然能够感觉到宛如寒冬一般的酷烈，并且下意识跪倒在地面上、语无伦次不知所措：“我……我……”
看着影，白令轻轻摩挲着自己的手指。
将发光的白色指环盖了过去。
然后他才缓缓开口：“所以在这段时间之内，你都是可以被允许存在的。”
“我不会动手杀了你，因为这是你‘自己’的任务和使命，”他说道，眼神微眯，“不过如果你出现了什么异种，那么我绝对会毫不犹豫地将你从安见修的身体里揪出来。”
“这并不难。”
说完这句话之后，白令轻轻打了个响指。
原本悬浮在空中的安见修猛地落在地面上，仍旧昏迷得不省人事。
而影则是茫然地看了一会儿白令。
在思考了一会儿之后，它整个人如蒙大赦、瘫软在安见修的身边。
此时此刻它已经大汗淋漓。
没有人比起它更能够理解，解决了红蜘蛛的恐怖。
尤其是想到这位可能跟“时间”扯上关系之后，影就越发感到了敬畏。
这份敬畏甚至于盖过了它的本能——也就是那疯狂而扭曲的自恋。
不管怎么样，在未来的一段时间之内、影对于安见修而言都是安全而无害的。
至于未来？
呵。
白令淡笑着想到：‘未来的事情，谁知道呢？’
安见修？不熟。
说到底双方都还是竞争对手，现在安见修是因为觉得白令可以压制影而对他有所需求，两者只是利益交换的关系。
目前来看，白令确实解决了很长一段时间内安见修担忧的替换问题。至少他还在的时候，影肯定不敢做的太过分。
所以说交易的内容他其实已经完成了。
至于后续……
还是让安见修头疼去吧。
这么想着，白令从怀里掏出手机、然后点亮屏幕，放在自己耳边。
此时此刻手机还没有来电的通知。
不过白令知道，大概过几秒钟、自己的手机就会“叮铃铃”响起来。
不过在电话铃声响之前，还会有一场跟“穿刺公”的血爆不遑多让，甚至犹有过之的……焰火表演！ 很快，像是为了应和他的想法。
在白令的手指轻轻点按手机屏幕的一瞬间，远处幽黑深邃的夜空之中，猛然爆发了亮如白昼的光芒！ 这团光芒在天穹的彼端炸开，仿佛导弹狠狠撞在密不透风的壁垒之外，带出绚烂而鲜艳的火花、将号称“不可攻破”的铜墙铁壁一点点地砸出一个窟窿……
直到彻底将这座坚城击垮！ 然后，于烟火绚烂之中。
笼罩在烟霞山外的坚密屏障，一点点地碎成残片、缓缓落下。
星星点点的碎片从空中坠落到地面上，泛着琉璃般的光泽，就像是飞舞的萤火虫一样晶莹漂亮。
而白令知道，这代表着在烟霞山之外的荀墨，终于用他那杆老旧到几乎没什么太大用处的狙击枪，彻底击碎了断绝烟霞山内外联系的结界！ 眼下结界破除，通讯终于恢复了正常。
几乎是白令按下手指的那一瞬间，一个吵吵闹闹的声音就接入了进来：“先知啊！”
织网者以她那特有的电子合成音在白令的耳边吵嚷着：“你们怎么断开连接这么长时间啊！好吓人啊！”
“虽然你之前就说过会稍微‘失联’一会儿，但是你这个‘稍微’也太长了吧？！作为一个异种，我都要怀疑到底你对时间的观念奇怪还是我对时间的观念有问题了！”
“外面现在对于烟霞山都抄成一锅粥了！有人说烟霞山的军人全部消失，也有些人说当局正在秘密抓捕一些人！总之不管怎么样，现在就是我们名声大噪的好时候啊！！”
“先知你怎么不说话啊？是不是信号不好？你等等哈，我再让‘研究员’稍微修理一下，或者我现在去找‘葬仪师’，让她过来踹两脚服务器……”
听着耳边喋喋不休的声音，白令叹了一口气：“我知道了，不要吵。”
捂着电话出声口，他说道：“等回去之后我给你带一具身体，安静，不要尖叫。你的电子音吵得我头痛，现在保持冷静。”
在织网者要发出赛博尖叫的前半分钟，白令先打断了它的施法：“现在把我们之前录制的视频投放到委员会的控制终端、以及烟霞山各级频道上。”
“接下来就是最后的收网了。”
说完这句话之后。
尽管织网者已经激动得情难自禁，但是它还是老老实实地按照白令的嘱咐，将之前白令录制下来的视频发放给烟霞山各处、以及委员会终端。
很快，所有烟霞山上的人发现，自己的通讯器不知道从什么时候开始响了起来。
犹豫了一会儿，大部分的人不约而同地打开了通讯器。
在短暂的电流声之后，一个声音从通讯器之中传来：“到时间了。”
那个声音听起来有些年轻，带着一些懒散的口吻、仿佛经历了什么特殊的事件，让他的精神稍微有些劳累。
“各位尊敬的老师、委员会的委员们，大家现在是新历十五年四月七日凌晨三点三十分，按照原定的计划我本应该休息片刻后出发前往特殊机构办事，但是因为一些特殊事情，我觉得有必要留下一则语音。”
在淡淡的疲惫声中，那个人语带笑意地说道：“首先，请容许我做一个自我介绍。”
“我是‘明昼’的领袖，你们可以称呼我为‘先知’，”那个声音说道，“相信这个名字未来会呈现在各位的案前，以供各位分析。”
“不过在此之前，我需要先点明一个事实。”
先知的语气微微上扬：“”“在未来一周以后烟霞山举办的联合军演上，以西欧部分人为首的‘人类守望’组织将会反叛人类。他们计划毁灭人类的新生代希望，并且以庞大的生命作为献祭，取悦深渊的异种。”
这句话一说出来，几乎所有人的眼皮都是微微一跳。
“人类守望”的第七席，“欺诈者”罗德尼火急火燎地拉着手底下人的衣领：“为什么他们的通讯还能够接进来？！结界不应该阻挡了所有的信号吗？！”
The man subconsciously pointed to the sky in the distance and smiled bitterly: "Sir, don't you understand yet?"
"They knew in advance that there would be a barrier, so they secretly brought Xun Mo over from the peninsula and asked him to break our barrier..."
The subordinate said bitterly: "All our plans have been infiltrated from the beginning."
After receiving this answer, Rodney subconsciously let go of his hand.
"Impossible," he muttered to himself, "How could Xun Mo be here? We have no news of him at all, so why did he come..."
Although Rodney was already in a state of panic, the voice in the communicator continued: "In order to thank you all for your great help in this 'anti-human' behavior, I am now publishing your names to commend the scumbag's character and bad behavior. So first of all, the main planner of this, the seventh seat of 'Human Watch', our respected companion, Mr. Rodney..."
The sound of this list continued for a long time.
Almost everyone who heard the list frowned subconsciously and their faces turned ugly.
If it is really as stated in this list, then perhaps the whole of Western Europe... will soon experience a major earthquake! Therefore, many people are skeptical about this list.
However, only Rodney and his friends knew that this list was 100% accurate.
Because every time a name was read, someone in their team would turn pale and shout, "Impossible!"
Then, just like calling out a list of soldiers and generals, one after another turned pale and lost.
Such a reaction is enough to prove the accuracy of this list.
After reading the long list, the voice continued, "I think some people will have doubts about this list. I can completely understand your feelings, because many of the people on this list are people you know and are familiar with."
"In fact, I was also shocked when I got this list," the prophet's voice gradually turned cold, "I could never have imagined that there were such poisonous insects, villains, and scum hiding among us."
"I have always believed that if humans want to win the battle against alien species, they must have a firm will and belief. But I miscalculated one thing - although some people have a firm will, they firmly believe that humans will eventually perish."
"I'm very sorry for this. I don't know why you, the 'Humanity Watchers', have such dark thoughts, and I have no obligation to know or understand. I only know that since you have embarked on this path, since you have planned to use the blood of your compatriots to open the curtain of a new era and please the monsters hidden behind the scenes, you should also be prepared to be banned."
In the communicator, the prophet said coldly: "So, I have prepared a big gift for you. A big gift that you originally used to deal with humans."
Accompanied by voice.
In the distance, in the secret base of "Humanity Watch".
Ding Yan looked at the hot core slowly rising in front of him, his mouth wide open.
Beside his hand, the prophet's voice continued: "This is from the 'ashes' you have prepared."
"Originally, this was supposed to be used on the 'Piercing Lord'. By changing the terrain and building a volcano, the 'Piercing Lord's' blood would flow across the land, causing countless deaths..."
"But now, I have done a little trick." Bai Ling glanced at the screen on his phone, especially Wu Xiaoya who was leading the Piercing Prince forward, "I placed your 'dust' in the originally planned crater."
"In this dust explosion, everyone can experience the 'dream' brought about by the consciousness dust."
"The dust will be carried into the air and scattered. Normal people will only experience a slightly decadent dream state, and other than that, there will be no other impact. Director Qi Guang of the Abnormal Matter Countermeasures Bureau can guarantee this with his personal integrity."
"And those spies who are willing to betray humanity will completely expose their dirty and ugly feelings because of their inherent defeatist thoughts. Even if you are wearing various gas masks or countermeasures, it is meaningless. Compared with the original consciousness dust, I have slightly improved it thanks to the methods of a certain master. Well, this improvement was also agreed by Mr. Oliver Flood in Western Europe."
By bringing in two people as guarantors, the prophet's words gained a lot of credibility.
As long as we make sure that these two people did these things, we will probably be able to ignore the judgments of many people who were already suspicious.
The prophet's voice gradually became cheerful in the communicator: "As a staunch capitulationist, your existing negative emotions will be completely detonated. For a long period of time, you will all show considerable laziness and negativity."
“I believe that if I interrogate you at this time, you will definitely be overwhelmed by negative thinking.”
After he finished speaking, a suppressed laugh came from the communicator.
As if he had seen this scene in advance, the prophet's voice was full of laughter.
"Well, whether you believe it or not, please wait for a moment. Soon the flames of Yanxia Mountain will surge, and the dust of consciousness will erupt. When that time comes, please enjoy the angry and negative howlings from the defeatists."
“I’m very much looking forward to it.”
As soon as the words were spoken, the communicator connection was disconnected.
Qi Guang looked at Bai Ling from a distance and curled his lips: "So you said that this is how you want to get rid of the traitor?"
Bai Ling took two steps forward and said noncommittally: "People always believe what they want to see. If you tell someone that someone is a spy, it will be difficult for those who have a good relationship with him to agree with you."
"Only when they experience similar environments and personally notice the unusual aspects of them can they make different judgments," Bering said. "This is normal because people are not always rational. Emotions make up our souls and make our thoughts more colorful."
"Instead of that, it's better to let some people see for themselves. See what kind of frustrated expressions those guys who are under the same sky with them will have after being caught in the rain."
Bai Ling said calmly: "There is no more convincing choice than seeing it with your own eyes."
The words fell.
There seemed to be thick smoke coming out of the mountain pass in the distance.
Soon, large pieces of volcanic ash were thrown out, flew into the sky, and then fell down.
Qi Guang could feel that the concentration of dust around him seemed to be gradually increasing.
He covered his nose and leaned against the wall tiredly: "You...don't worry about me for now, I'll make a phone call..."
After saying this, Qi Guang took out his cell phone, entered the number tremblingly, and then dialed the call.
Bai Ling stepped aside tactfully.
He knew that Qi Guang was talking to his parents on the phone.
Because of the influence of negative emotions, only at this time did Qi Guang have the leisure and determination to make the call and tell some of his bitterness and pain to the two people closest to him.
This is quite difficult for him.
As a person who has nothing left to live for, although people around him can understand him, to be honest, what Qi Guang is most worried about are actually his parents.
So only at this time would Qi Guang's emotions burst out and he would say some hypocritical words.
Bering, in a rare move, did not use his precognitive powers to listen.
He just stood in the distance, watching the red blood explode like a ring and the thick dust in the sky.
'It's over,' he thought to himself, 'It may seem a little hasty, but this is the best I can do.'
No matter what happens after Yanxia Mountain, at least now, the ending of the whole group being wiped out will not continue to happen on this timeline.
Ding Yan and his companions survived. Although they were slightly injured, at least they were still alive.
Qi Guang was not overly depressed. He was even able to call his parents, which was much better than before.
Those who were supposed to die this time did not die. Although they might be confused, Bai Ling believed that Qi Guang and the people in the committee would do a good job.
And my work ends here.
Next, we should be busy with Xinhai City.
Thinking of this, Bai Ling glanced at the moon in the distance.
Despite the dust cover, the moon was still round and as bright as a torch.
In the future, I guess the moon will always be bright.
Bai Ling thought so in his heart.
