"Thank you for your hard work," he said. "We have arrived at our destination. Please take a short break before continuing with the filming."
Hearing his voice, several people in the car raised their heads and looked towards him at the same time.
Ji Qianqin was the first to jump out of the car. She scratched her hair and said excitedly, "Boss, when are we going to start?"
Bering glanced at her.
Ji Qianqin looks no different from before. She is always so concerned about things related to "becoming famous". This must have something to do with her life experience and the "Ji family".
As a child prayed for from the god El, what kind of shackles did Ji Zi impose on her daughter, and what kind of impact did she leave on the world?
I believe that when the answer is revealed, many things will become self-evident.
Thinking of this, Bai Ling said gently: "It will be soon. You should be ready to set off tomorrow morning."
After saying this, he looked up at the other people in the car.
These people seemed familiar from Bering's perspective, but they had never actually met each other.
This is the team of four people, including photographers and reporters that the Countermeasures Bureau had asked for. The leader of the team is actually named "Chen Shilong", also known as "Brother Long".
Bai Ling smiled at Brother Long and said, "Mr. Chen, right?"
Although his face was pale, Bai Ling's smile was decent and gentle. After spending so much time, he had found an expression that would not easily arouse people's vigilance.
At least after seeing this expression, the confusion and uneasiness on Brother Long's face slowly melted away like snowflakes in the morning light.
"Yes, I am," Brother Long subconsciously scratched the back of his head, "You...you are the leader this time, right? What's your name?"
Looking at him, Bai Ling's smile was somewhat mysterious.
He said calmly, "I'm sorry that I can't reveal my name, because my real name has power. Just like in myths, monsters whose names are revealed will lose their powers. If my real name is known by the enemy, it's like being grabbed by the collar, and the whole person is under the chains of malice."
"Based on my experience, I think that in the future, if you encounter a situation where you need to reveal your name, it is more appropriate to use a code name. This is not alienation, but protection and prevention for yourself and others."
Pointing at himself, Bai Ling said gently: "Just like me, you can call me 'prophet', Mr. Chen."
prophet……
Listening to Bai Ling's words, Brother Long felt a little dizzy: "Then...then, the prophet...?"
There was some hesitation in his voice, as if he found the name strange.
Bai Ling nodded slightly: "That's enough."
Turning around, he glanced at Brother Long and Ji Qianqin behind him and said, "Please follow us. We are about to discuss the next situation."
After saying this, he strode forward, his black windbreaker like a pair of feathery wings, blowing through the air and leaving behind messy streams of light.
Ji Qianqin followed Bai Ling without hesitation, fiddling with her phone while muttering, "Oh, I have to put on some makeup tomorrow... Oh, I can't let Sister Lin hear this, or it would be too scary..."
As she spoke, she shuddered.
It was like thinking of something not so good.
Brother Long hesitated for a while before making up his mind.
After handing his equipment to his companion, he hurriedly followed Bering.
A few steps to the side of Bai Ling, Brother Long said hesitantly, "First... the prophet."
He seemed to be thinking about something, and it took him a long time to utter the second sentence: "I know it may not be appropriate to say this, but can you tell us what the specific goal of our mission is this time? We just heard from the people above that they would come here to interview and record, and we know almost nothing else..."
On the way to the combat hall, Bai Ling heard Brother Long's conflicted voice and looked back at him.
If nothing unexpected happens, these people will probably become the Countermeasures Bureau's "exclusive" photographers and hosts of supernatural programs in the future.
There is no way around it. Whoever is chosen in the first video with such a big fanfare probably represents who will be reused in the future. Whether Long Ge and his team were chosen because of their ability or because of luck, they will probably face similar situations many times in the future.
Even if they wanted to run, they probably couldn't.
Thinking so.
Soon, Bai Ling withdrew his gaze and turned his head away.
After a while, his calm voice reached Long Ge's ears: "What do you think?"
Myself...
Brother Long's smile was helpless and bitter. "I think it's probably something very dangerous. Just like the "Monster Files" from more than a decade ago, the only difference is that it was a pseudo-documentary, fake, and man-made, and we...may be going to have a chance to encounter the real thing."
Bai Ling nodded approvingly: "Your understanding is correct."
"I believe that before you came here, the 'Recorder' should have already taught you some knowledge about alien species," Bai Ling turned his head and glanced at Ji Qianqin, "Yes, as you thought, she is the 'Recorder'. As I said before, it is more appropriate to call her by a code name outside."
"Let's get back to the point. What we need to deal with this time is the 'natural disaster'."
Bai Ling walked at an unhurried pace, and his voice was as calm and steady as his pace: "Or to be more precise, it is a monster that is as harmful as a natural disaster and is hostile to humans."
"You will soon learn this information."
Standing in front of the gate, Bai Ling paused slightly.
He turned sideways, stood beside the closed door, and said calmly: "In this combat meeting, I will tell you some of the intelligence I know. I hope Mr. Chen can record this meeting, edit it, and then splice it with the subsequent battle footage and finally upload it."
"This is also your mission. After all, this is what the director who sent you here ordered you to do, isn't it?"
How did he know...
Before Brother Long could react, the next second, he was surprised to find that the door in front of him was pushed open without him knowing when.
He subconsciously glanced at Bai Ling beside him, but found that he had his hands behind his back and did not seem to have any movement to "push the door".
As if he didn't notice Long Ge's gaze, Bai Ling walked into the open door, and his boots made a dull echo on the floor.
Walking around several rows of seats for the audience, Bai Ling climbed up a few steps and stood next to the wooden table in the center of the room.
At this moment, there were already quite a few people in the audience, including Ming Zhou's people, Xun Mo, some cadres from the Countermeasures Bureau, and An Jianxiu who was pulled over by Bai Ling in advance.
Now all of their eyes followed Bai Ling's footsteps and finally fell on him, like a black hole of vision.
Bathed in the gazes of everyone present, Bai Ling said calmly: "Then, let's get started."
"First, I think I need to give a brief summary to those who don't know enough about this operation."
Pulling out a chair, Bering sat on it steadily, and folded his hands in front of his chest: "The main goal of this mission is 'cleaning'."
"I believe everyone is aware that a disaster will occur in Xinhai City in the near future. The cause of this disaster is not due to crustal movement or weather changes. If that were the case, there would be no need to evacuate the people in such a high-profile manner."
As he spoke, Bai Ling snapped his fingers.
The next second, a wide silver-gray curtain quickly slid down from behind him, as if a vast painting fell from the clouds, a long river spread out in the air, and finally landed on the ground.
With one hand pressed on the curtain, Bai Ling said calmly: "This disaster is not a special natural activity, but a major conspiracy jointly planned by certain people and certain creatures."
"The core of the plan is this person," Bai Ling's hand gently swiped, and soon the picture on the screen changed, "Codenamed 'Pale Lady', a 'disaster' level alien."
With his movements, a strange figure appeared on the screen.
It was a tall figure wrapped in a gauze-like texture, with a white scarf hanging on her face. Under the scarf, her facial features, which were arranged in the same combination, looked weird and creepy.
Some of the people under Brother Long and An Jianxiu's command had already begun to gasp and turned their heads away, unable to bear to watch.
Ming Zhou and Xun Mo's people sat on chairs, looking at the curtain in front of them with interest.
"Interesting," Xun Mo commented, "She looks a bit like the heroine in the Galgame I played before, both of them don't have human faces. But the heroine in my game was a mantis, so this one at least looks a bit human."
After hearing Xun Mo's words, Ding Yan, who was standing next to him, subconsciously moved his chair two centimeters to the side.
A person's personality can be easily seen from his sexual preferences, but one thing is certain - no matter what type of hobby he has, he should like beautiful and right objects.
What is the correct X object?
Anyway, it won’t be someone like Xun Mo.
As a normal person, Ding Yan felt it necessary for him to draw a clear line between himself and Xun Mo and never get involved in his corruption.
At this time he began to miss Gerrard very much.
Although the taciturn naked man usually couldn't say a word, at least they still had common topics. But with Xun Mo... Ding Yan felt that let alone having common topics, he might be contaminated by the toxins in Xun Mo's body and die on the spot.
Without paying attention to Xun Mo's opinion, Bai Ling continued, "Let me introduce you to 'Pale Lady'."
"As a 'disaster' level alien species, there has been almost no information leaked about her before. The only thing known to various countries is that her main range of activities in the past was Western Europe. It is speculated that this is her origin and hometown."
Bai Ling: "In fact, this is not wrong, because her true identity is speculated to be related to the god of death in Norse mythology. I think you can probably understand the significance of this information."
His words fell.
A few seconds later, An Jianxiu frowned and said, "God of Death? Hela? Are you sure you are not kidding?"
He was probably one of the few people present who realized that the information sent by Bering was incongruous.
Shadow came from the Abyss, and the Abyss was the "origin" of failure and a product that imitated the Abyss, so Shadow naturally knew a little about the Abyss. At least it knew that the goddess of death Hela existed in the Abyss.
But now Bering says that the identity of the "Pale Lady" may be Hela...
Could it be that there are two goddesses of death in this world?
If this news is true, it is definitely not good news for mankind.
After all, there have been no repeated species so far, and most of the species seem to be unique. But if two species with the same origin appear, it will become too troublesome.
This is not an operation like selling skins in the game, but two real monsters with similar ideas who both want to eat humans alive!
Not to mention that Hela is a product of distorted mythology, a god. And gods are almost guaranteed to be "disasters", and not just ordinary "disasters", but the kind that can beat witches!
So after hearing this information, An Jianxiu's first reaction was doubt.
It's impossible not to have doubts.
If it was true, then there was no way to fight this war, and he would be the first to withdraw without saying a word.
Facing An Jianxiu's question, Bai Ling just smiled and said, "That's right, but don't worry. 'She' is only related to Hela, not Hela herself. What's more, even if Hela herself comes, she will be defeated on this land."
After lightly brushing off the issue, Bering continued, "In fact, the Pale Lady is only part of the current crisis. In addition to her, there are some more troublesome guys."
He swiped his hand lightly, and soon another slide appeared in front of them.
They were beasts of various shapes, ferocious and rugged looking... Beasts! Retracting his hand, Bai Ling's eyes were serious: "Let's not talk about the Pale Lady for now. Her problem will be left for later. Right now, we need to be more concerned about these people other than her."
"The alien species from the island country - 'Hundred Demons'!"
Bai Ling tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop. His voice was even and gentle. "The Hundred Ghosts is an alien group from an island country, similar to the Nine-Headed Divine Religion. There are some rather troublesome guys in this group."
"Shuten-doji, Nura, En-en-ra, almost all of the members of the Hundred Demons were given household names of monsters in the island nation's mythology. Because of the ability of the 'Pale Lady', they crossed the line of the Countermeasures Bureau and came to Shinkai. They intend to use this city as a bridgehead for the alien species, and then spy on the inland, presenting the island nation's 'One Hundred Demons Night Parade' in Shinkai!"
Glancing at the people in the audience, Bai Ling's eyes were sharp: "So, our first step now is to fight an absolute war of annihilation!"
