Bai Ling sat in the front seat of the car, looking down at the notebook on his lap.

Next to him, Lin Ju, who had been busy for the past few days, was rarely serving as his driver, staring straight ahead at the road in the distance.

Although Lin Jue had not been traveling with the team recently, it did not mean that she was relaxed. In fact, to some extent, she might still be the busiest one.

After all, no matter how troublesome other people are, they always wander around in a specific area, such as Yanxia Mountain. Only she runs around the country to collect information and data and deal with problems related to Mingri.

If it weren't for the fact that she was still in good spirits, Bai Ling would have worried that she would have collapsed from the non-stop work.

There was no other way. Everyone else had their own things to do, and if they were really asked to do Lin Ju's work, I'm afraid Ming Zhou would be on the verge of collapse before they could even work for a few hours.

When it comes to domestic affairs, no one could do a better job than Lin Ju, including Bering.

Perhaps it’s because being a makeup artist is a job that requires patience, so even though the work is rather boring, Lin Ju never complains.

This made Bai Ling somewhat impressed.

Although he found Sun Yuanrang's girlfriend, Tian Xiaoling, who had been kidnapped by the Nine-Headed Divine Cult, to be Lin Ju's assistant, most of the time it was Lin Ju who made the decisions, and Tian Xiaoling was just an assistant.

Thinking about it this way, Lin Ju really had a hard time.

Thinking of this, Bai Ling shifted his gaze to Lin Ju next to him.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "It's been two months."

Listening to Bai Ling's words, Lin Ju's hand gripping the steering wheel paused slightly.

After a moment, she said calmly, "Yes, two months, sixty-three days."

Bai Ling came into this world and met Lin Ju on March 15th, and now it is May 16th, which is actually two months and one day to be precise.

Hearing this, Bai Ling nodded slightly: "Time goes by pretty fast."

"How is it? Are you used to the life in the past two months?"

Listening to Bai Ling's words, Lin Ju rarely showed a faint smile: "Aren't you a prophet?"

Spreading his hands, Bering also smiled: "First there is a question, then there is an answer. This is a simple logical problem. If there is no beginning, how can there be an end? The same is true for the so-called prophet. First there is an idea, and then there can be a glimpse of destiny."

After turning the steering wheel skillfully and maneuvering the car to a different position, Lin Jue's face was calm and indifferent: "It's OK."

“It’s more tiring, but much more fulfilling than before,” she said. “If I had to choose, I would rather choose now.”

Her words were brief and concise, but they were indeed her own thoughts without much embellishment.

Lin Ju is not the kind of person who likes to say too many polite words. Although she looks cold, it is easy to find out if you get to know her for a long time that she only does so because she is too lazy to pretend.

Because she doesn't want to be hypocritical with people she doesn't like, and doesn't like the twists and turns in society, she is indifferent to the point of being cold. But if the relationship is good, Lin Ju is not incapable of joking. In fact, she can tell jokes, the kind with a blank expression.

...if that really is a joke.

Rubbing his brow, Bai Ling thought for a moment and said, "I remember when I first met you, I told you that I would let you see more."

"Although you have already stepped half a foot into this world, you are still different from Ding Yan, Ji Qianqin and even Li Jingwen," Bai Ling said, "You probably realize this, so you are consciously downplaying your existence and positioning yourself as a 'steward'-like figure."

After hearing Bai Ling's words, Lin Ju moved his eyes away from the front window for the first time.

Her eyes fell on Bai Ling, and after looking at him deeply for three seconds, she slowly looked away.

After a long while, Lin Ju said, "Maybe, but it doesn't matter."

"My life is pretty good now, I'm already very satisfied," she said, without any emotion in her voice, "Besides, I'm really not as good as Ding Yan and the others, except that I talk less."

"And you don't look like you need to be restrained, do you?"

yes.

So far, Ding Yan, as one of the main forces of Ming Zhou, is no longer as strong as he was two months ago; although Ji Qianqin does not look very strong, no one knows what the things she exchanged from the game hall of Elshen have brought her except Ji Qianqin herself. Not to mention that her life experience is quite mysterious, and the surname "Ji" seems to contain countless secrets.

Song Qingci is a real genius, the strongest person in Ming Zhou besides Bai Ling. Gerard, who was left alone, is a standard logistical staff. He is absolutely functional regardless of his strength. Even Li Jingwen, who joined later, is considered one of the backbones in Ming Zhou because of her relationship with Red Spider and her good shooting talent.

Only Lin Ju, although busy running around, actually she has not changed at all compared to before.

After a period of training, Tian Xiaoling has gradually developed a good ability to respond, and this kind of "spokesperson"-like identity can be found as many as you want as long as you spend more time and money.

After all, compared to things like "superpowers", management talents are much easier to find.

Therefore, Lin Ju is probably the early member who is currently the farthest away from the center of Ming Zhou.

Lin Ju herself realized this, but because of her personality and her own sense of crisis, she didn't say much.

I didn't argue or make a fuss, but just continued to do what I had to do calmly.

Glancing at Lin Ju's profile, Bai Ling sighed.

"I remember two months ago, when we went to Ding Yan's hospital, you told me," Bai Ling said calmly, "You followed me because you felt you could see more things here, and I was the best choice."

"I also promised you that I would bring you more."

In the voice of Bering.

In the distance, the convoy slowly stopped in front of the traffic light.

This is a traffic light with no time limit, but it is estimated that the time should be very long.

Although there were not many people in Xinhai City, out of professionalism, the team finally stopped in front of the traffic light, waited patiently, and adjusted their mood.

After all, at this moment, we are not far from the base in Xinhai City.

When the car's tires bit the road tightly, Lin Ju held the steering wheel tightly, with a calm expression on his face.

Over there, Bering continued: "I believe you may have your own ideas, but personally, I don't want anyone to fall behind."

"And I can guarantee that no one will collapse on the road before dawn."

Listening to Bai Ling's words, the expression on Lin Ju's face changed slightly.

A few seconds later, the change became even greater.

Just when Lin Ju was about to say something, a hand stretched out from the side of Lin Ju.

Noticing that white hand, Lin Ju finally revealed an expression of near astonishment: "This is..."

At this moment, Bai Ling held a test tube in his hand and looked at Lin Ju calmly: "Just like the first day, this is a choice."

"The traffic light lasts for sixty-three seconds," he said without even looking at the traffic ahead, "so that means you have sixty-three seconds to make this choice, the same amount of time we've been meeting so far. This is not a short amount of time, because I believe you won't need even a fraction of that time to make the real decision."

"And coincidentally, this thing is also closely related to the first day we met."

Shaking the black test tube, Bai Ling smiled: "Do you remember what kind of monster we encountered on the first day we met?"

Hearing Bai Ling's words, Lin Ju whispered, "The corpse-raiser..."

She remembers it very clearly.

Bai Ling nodded slightly: "Yes, the corpse-raiser."

As he shook it, the liquid in the test tube rolled along the wall like a ball of muddy mud: "Destiny is a wonderful thing. The ending of many things is already determined at the beginning - just like this fulcrum that can provide you with a 'second choice'."

"It's the Soul Burning Potion from the 'Corpse Man'. I believe you should know what this potion is."

Bai Ling's expression gradually became serious. "If you give up this option, then you can just watch everything like an audience. Although it's a bit boring, it's extremely safe. After all, seeing everything from a God's perspective is something that countless people can only dream of but cannot."

"But if you choose this... then you will become one of the leading actors in this drama. No matter how colorful and beautiful the road ahead is, it cannot cover up the thorns on both sides of the road - every step you take may bring you irreversible scars, or even tear your soul apart."

"So, what do you think?"

As Bai Ling's voice fell.

Lin Ju gently released the steering wheel with both hands.

She remained silent for about forty seconds.

It feels like I'm conflicted, or scared, or maybe... excited.

After a long time, she raised her head and looked at Bai Ling.

"You saw my future, didn't you?" she said.

Bai Ling smiled and said, "Of course."

He added: “I always do.”

Lin Ju also smiled in response to Bai Ling's words.

She reached out her hand without hesitation, grabbed the test tube in Bailing's hand, and said calmly: "I always do the same."

Putting the test tube into her pocket, she put her hands back on the steering wheel, gripping it tightly, her fingers so hard that they turned white.

The next second, she stepped on the accelerator.

As if in response to something, the moment she stepped on the accelerator, the traffic light turned green, meaning "passable."

The car in front pressed forward without a moment's hesitation, and Lin Ju followed closely behind. The tires of the car rolled up dust, grabbing the road as it moved forward like a roaring and crawling giant python!

Sitting in the car, Bai Ling had a faint smile on his face.

He discovered the "corpse man" not long ago.

It was a coincidence that the "corpse man" seemed to be looking for something and often went to hospitals and cemeteries.

Coincidentally, it was caught by Wang Weizhen, who had been particularly vigilant recently.

In fact, Wang Weizhen has caught more than one zombie in recent times.

The alien species summoned by the witch not long ago have recently been eliminated one by one by the mentally sensitive Wang Weizheng.

There was no way. Originally, Wang Weizheng's attention was not particularly focused on Chenfeng, but with many things happening recently, and his intention to make an example of someone, he directly purged the entire Chenfeng.

Then the corpse was caught by Wang Weizheng and thrown into prison.

After capturing these alien species, Wang Weizheng did not kill them, but imprisoned them and extracted pheromones from them one by one to make soul-burning potion.

Finally, he packed a package of the potions and gave it to Bering.

The purpose is very simple, which is to let him find suitable talents for pharmacy as much as possible.

After receiving the potion, Bai Ling tried it briefly and was surprised to find that there was actually a compatible type in the daytime.

And what's more coincidental is that it is the "corpse rising man" and the coffin.

Sometimes Bering even doubted whether his fate was predetermined.

No matter how you look at it, it's a bit too coincidental.

But it's not impossible.

You have to know that it took Lin Ju in the original world a full year for him to develop the disease after being infected with the zombie-derived virus. This incubation period is much longer than that of other people.

Perhaps it is because Lin Ju's body can accommodate this pheromone to a certain extent that makes her like this.

However, it seems that Lin Ju's adaptability is not particularly high, otherwise she would not have been poisoned to death by the zombie virus.

But that doesn't matter.

Bai Ling could completely mitigate this incompatible interference as much as possible through his own research with Sun Yuanrang.

You have to know that Bering is not the type that is suitable for all potions.

And at present, Bering still needs the ability to "raise the corpse".

Among the monsters and humans that Bering has known so far, the zombie is one of them who has the ability to control "death".

This ability can be of great help to Bering in his next plan.

After all, the Pale Lady's condition... is very special.

Thinking of this, Bai Ling glanced at the convoy behind him.

At this moment, Han Qianqiu, the human half of the pale lady, is probably sitting in the car and fighting with Xun Mo for the tablet.

Bai Ling knew that because Xun Mo hated Qi Guang, Han Qianqiu, who trusted Qi Guang very much, was of course also hostile to Xun Mo.

So she probably won't give Xun Mo face.

And just as Bai Ling was thinking this.

Finally, with a shrill engine sound, the car arrived at the Xinhai City station.

Getting out of the car, Bai Ling glanced at the gate that he had been to three times.

"For the third time," he said calmly, "are you ready this time?"
