Chapter 185 Threat from the Prophet



Xun Mo was tied up and hung in the trunk, and was taken to Linjiang City, Ming Zhou's base, by the staff of the Countermeasures Bureau.

When the Countermeasures Bureau employee opened the trunk, everyone gathered around the car was stunned.

They really didn't expect that Minister Xun, who was as famous as Qi Guang and Wang Weizheng, actually looked like such an...electronic waste.

Just when everyone felt their three views collapsed and they could no longer connect the name "Xun Mo" with the tightly wrapped man in front of them.

Bai Ling walked out of the room and said with a smile: "He is Xun Mo, the Operations Director of the Countermeasures Bureau."

Holding Han Qianqiu's hand, Bai Ling walked slowly to Xun Mo, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Good morning, Minister Xun."

Xun Mo broke free from the ropes on his body. Bai Ling watched carefully. He had a small knife hidden in his sleeve. He cut the ropes at a speed that ordinary people could not detect and then broke free.

After brushing off the dust on himself, Xun Mo first glanced at Han Qianqiu next to him, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

After a moment, he raised his head and met Bai Ling's gaze.

"Are you the prophet? The person that Wang Weizhen and Qi Guang were talking about?" Xun Mo asked.

Facing Xun Mo's question, Bai Ling smiled and extended his hand: "Of course you can call me that, although I think I just see a little more than others. In the final analysis, we are all trapped by fate. The so-called 'prophet' is just a glimpse of the faint starlight through the cracks of the cage."

Looking down at Bai Ling's outstretched hand, Xun Mo curled his lips, stretched out his hand and shook it: "It turns out that what Qi Guang said is true, you are also a guy with a bad personality."

Xun Mo took his hands back and put them behind his head: "Okay, now that we have finished our greetings, we should start discussing this battle."

Hearing this, Bai Ling also nodded slightly: "Please come in."

After saying this, he turned his head and looked at the remaining people in Ming Zhou: "Okay, what are you still doing gathering at the door?"

"Come in," he said, "Remember what I told you, practice your formations and fighting in difficult conditions."

After hearing his words, everyone responded in unison: "Yes."

Then they followed back to the base.

Looking at the members of the Ming Zhou team who left in front of him first, Xun Mo turned his head and looked at Bai Ling: "It seems that you have already understood and recognized something?"

Although he didn't explain it clearly, Xun Mo knew that Bai Ling could understand what he meant.

And Bai Ling nodded: "About the same."

Even Bai Ling had to admit that Xun Mo was definitely the smartest person he had ever met.

Unlike Qi Guang, Qi Guang is better at seeing the big picture, grasping the situation and finding opportunities. As a strategist, Qi Guang is undoubtedly perfect.

Compared with Qi Guang, Xun Mo is not such a high-level person. However, Xun Mo also has some aspects that Qi Guang cannot compare with.

That's his observation and creativity.

He is currently the only person who can roughly guess one of the elements that activate Bai Ling's ability. Even in the superposition of future prophecies, Xun Mo also judged based on Bai Ling's performance that Bai Ling is probably in a very special state at the moment.

After reasoning, he realized that he was probably actually in the future that Bering saw.

This observation ability is terrifying.

You have to know that although other people also feel that something is wrong, no one will think in the direction of "this is the future". This idea is a bit too bold and quite unorthodox, almost tantamount to denying one's current identity and existence.

But Xun Mo dared to think so. He even dared to trust Bai Ling and use his own life as part of the test to test Ms. Pale.

Beneath his lazy appearance lies a rationality and madness that is hard for anyone to ignore.

No wonder those people from "Human Watch" were so panicked when they found out that it was Xun Mo who came to snipe them.

Compared with Qi Guang, Xun Mo is really too reckless.

At this moment, this rough but delicate man yawned and rubbed his eyes: "Huh... Anyway, you are the one who will take the lead this time. Today I just came here to ask you if you need to prepare anything."

"I heard from Director Wang that you plan to take this opportunity to expose the supernatural facts?" Xun Mo said, "I don't know if this is a good thing, but if you really want to do this, I'm afraid you will face a lot of trouble. Even if the Countermeasures Bureau helps to back it up, I can't say that you will definitely get the expected results."

"But never mind. Since you call yourself a 'prophet', you probably saw the future you wanted to see."

Xun Mo shrugged and turned his head, his expression slightly changing: "By the way, since you can see the future, let me ask you a question..."

Before he could finish, Bering pressed the elevator button and said casually, "If you want to ask about the future, I can only tell you that I don't know enough. Prophets are not omniscient. Even if I can see the future, the answers to the mysteries of this world are like sand in the desert, and there is no way to distinguish them."

Listening to Bai Ling's words, Xun Mo curled his lips: "Tsk."

“Forget it,” he sighed. “Knowing the future isn’t that good. It’s just like watching an anime or following a host. If you know while you’re watching that the hero and heroine will die or the host will retire, you won’t be so eager to continue watching.”

“Although it’s impossible to prevent it in advance, it’s actually quite interesting to go down a completely different path in the unknown.”

As he spoke, he once again focused his gaze on Han Qianqiu who was standing next to Bai Ling: "Then, I have another question."

Pointing at Han Qianqiu, Xun Mo's expression gradually became serious: "Although I have always been open to sexual fetishes, there is one thing I need to remind you - in the real world, assaulting minors will result in a sentence."

"Not to mention that the target is an acquaintance of a certain senior executive," Xun Mo said seriously, "Even if I hate Qi Guang, I think your behavior is really outrageous."

Hearing this, Bai Ling smiled.

He patted Han Qianqiu on the head, then looked at Xun Mo: "I didn't know that Minister Xun took this matter so lightly."

"Nonsense," Xun Mo rolled his eyes, "To engage in heavy industry in the real world is damnable!"

His three outlooks are very positive. Although the two-dimensional Xun Mo has many sexual fetishes that are so twisted that they cannot be shown on the surface, he has maintained a good balance between the real world and the virtual world, and does not let the virtual world affect his mental state.

...In fact, the best thing is not to affect your life, but there is no way, Xun Mo can no longer quit.

Smiling and taking his hand back, Bai Ling said something that even Xun Mo couldn't understand: "This child is the key to our trip to Xinhai."

"By the way, I have something I want to ask Minister Xun."

Bai Ling asked, "Minister Xun, have you heard of... 'Lionheart King'?"

Lionheart...

Xun Mo was slightly stunned when he heard this.

He quickly responded, "You mean the 'Emperor' of Western Europe? I know, or rather, as one of the leaders of the Western European aliens, I don't know that he is in the minority, right?"

Although he was stationed on the peninsula for many years, Xun Mo was well-informed. To some extent, he even knew more than Qi Guang.

Because of the special nature of the peninsula, alien species sneak into that place every year. Xun Mo and his team have to suppress the threat of the peninsula on the one hand, and eliminate the monsters that sneak in on the other hand. In the process of solving these monsters, intelligence will naturally be collected continuously. For example, the secrets of certain organizations, or the recent outbreak of a crisis above the "dangerous" level in some place, Xun Mo sometimes even knows it earlier than Qi Guang.

So he not only knew about the "Lionheart King", but was also quite familiar with him: "That man is very mysterious, and no one knows where he came from. Although some say it was Richard, others say it was actually Charlemagne. As one of the strongest monsters in Western Europe, he has always been the most troublesome guy for the authorities there."

"It is said that the shadow of the Lionheart King was behind the 'Little Match Girl' in the old calendar."

"The Little Match Girl". Previously, when he was at Yunshang College, Bai Ling used this example to tell the first-year students of Yunshang College about the birth of alien species.

As a "dangerous" level monster, it was extremely ferocious and directly led to the destruction of everyone in a small town.

However, Bering did not expect that it was also related to the "Lionheart King".

Standing in the elevator, Xun Mo said calmly: "This is information obtained from others. The source is the 'Poison Queen', who you should know - Bai Xue's stepmother."

"From her, we learned some information about the Lionheart King. It is said that his origin is not too early, at least not at the level of mythology. Moreover, he seems to be related to many fairy tales..."

Looking at Bai Ling, Xun Mo slowly spoke: "The most in-depth research so far is that he seems to be closely related to...'The Pied Piper of Hamelin'."

The Pied Piper of Hamelin.

The origin of "Witch".

Hearing this news, Bai Ling's face was calm, but his mind was full of thoughts: "She has a close relationship with the witch... and she is also from Western Europe. Could it be that the witch's Zaraktu family is not the only one?"

Was the Lionheart also a member of the former Zaraktu family? Bering didn't know much about this family. Some of the historical materials that would be revealed in the future only mentioned that this family had a glorious history and had a deep connection with someone in the country hundreds of years ago.

That person was the owner of the gesture who was scared away by Bai Ling's action in the abandoned hospital for the first time.

His name is "Ji Shen". It is said that he once used the powerful thunder to suppress many alien species in a foreign country, including many people from the Chalaktu family. His identity is mysterious and his strength is strong.

Wait, Ji?

Bai Ling seemed to suddenly remember something.

He thought of Ji Qianqin's mother, Ji Zi.

This woman could almost be said to be extremely mysterious. In the diary, she did not leave any records about the future except for her relationship with Ji Qianqin.

However, based on the current situation, Ji Zi is definitely not an ordinary, harmless guy.

She has a close relationship with Song Weilu, the father of Song Qingci, who is a disciple of the domestic academic giant Wu Dayou, and is also the object of Zou Ye's unrequited love. In addition, she has also had transactions with El God.

If she was bolder, maybe Ji Zi had seen Qing Guang before. After all, Song Weilu seemed to have disgusted Qing Guang in the past. It was normal for these people to be from the same era and know each other.

There is definitely something wrong with this woman.

Thinking of this, Bai Ling's eyes flickered.

'It's not just her identity that's problematic, it's her character as well - in El's shop, she just chose to have a child... What on earth was she thinking?'

And what kind of specialness does this child given by God have? In the past, Bai Ling did not delve into Ji Qianqin's identity and abilities, because he thought that as long as the time was right, the other party would reveal it on his own initiative.

But now it seems that her condition may be more complicated than she thought.

If there is a chance in the future, it would be best to have a frank talk with Ji Qianqin.

Bai Ling was also quite curious about the stories behind Ji Zi and Ji Shen.

Just as he was thinking this, with a "ding dong" sound, the elevator arrived at the base.

When the elevator door opened, Xun Mo seemed to have remembered something and suddenly said, "By the way, there is one thing I don't know if you understand, but I think it is necessary to talk about it."

"It is said that there is a man next to the Lionheart King," Xun Mo turned his head and looked at Bai Ling, "His real name and origin have been dug out, but it is not very meaningful. In fact, he took the initiative to reveal it to the outside world."

"The origin of the person who carries that message is very famous, as you should know. He is a famous prophet from the fifteenth century of the old calendar, Nostradamus, or you can just call him by his Chinese name - Nostradamus."

Standing in the elevator, Xun Mo whispered, "He was the third person in the world who publicly called himself a 'prophet' before you. But the previous two people were fake. They just used prophecies or skills to guess the future, and most of their predictions were far-fetched."

"But he is different. So far, his predictions are somewhat obscure but quite accurate. For example, Nostradamus once made a corresponding prediction about the Susanoo Rebellion in the island country. According to his prediction, we should have been able to further deal with many unstable factors in the island country in addition to Susanoo, but in the end we failed..."

Looking at Bai Ling, Xun Mo said, "I don't know who is real and who is fake between you and him, or if both of you are real, but I think you need to pay attention to him."

"Nostradamus leads an organization called the 'All-Knowing Society'. If you hear about this organization in the future, be extremely careful. Because it is the sharpest knife in Nostradamus's hand. It is a secret organization that he built to deal with his enemies and uses his predictions as an intelligence system."

"So, you'd better not let him know that you are the real thing," Xun Mo said, "that's not a good thing."

"You know, the two people who claimed to be prophets in the past were killed by the people of the Prophet Society! In other words, once there is a 'prophet' other than himself in this world, Nostradamus will resolve this threat without hesitation!"
