There's that falling feeling again.

This was the third time today that Bai Ling had experienced this feeling of falling, as if his entire body was wrapped up.

The previous two times were either during the time of foreseeing the future, or being pulled into the future she saw by the Oath Breaker. In short, it was closely related to the ability of prophecy.

But Bai Ling instinctively felt that this time's "fall" might be different in nature from the previous two times...

At least it feels different.

He lowered his head and looked at the bottomless darkness beneath his feet.

Right now, he felt like he was in the universe, dark without any light. This kind of environment alone was far from his ability to predict the future. You have to know that during the prediction process, although he was under the sea, he could still see some light.

A sense of alienation, loss, and disconnection filled his brain. The original neural modules seemed to be completely disconnected, and the connections between them also stopped working. Although he knew that his limbs were still there, Bai Ling could hardly feel their existence.

Apart from the pain, everything else seemed to have nothing to do with Bering.

If it weren't for the clear tearing pain he could still feel in his chest, Bai Ling would have thought that his body and consciousness had been completely separated, like a human-headed balloon jumping out of his body.

Although it hurts, I am lucky to realize that I am still alive.

Thinking so.

Bai Ling subconsciously wanted to raise his wrist.

However, this thing that could be done easily was so powerless in the darkness.

With a sigh (at least he thought he was sighing), Bering gave up the attempt and began to observe his surroundings.

The darkness he was in now was monotonous and boring, without any embellishment or decoration. Everything seemed empty and void, as if the primordial chaos had not yet been opened up and the world was still in an inexplicable singularity.

The only thing that has changed a little is perhaps the vague attraction "below" me.

It was under the perception of this attraction that Bering realized that he was "falling".

Apart from this, there is nothing special about this space.

Being in this space, Bai Ling felt that his consciousness had become much slower.

Since there was nothing to do at the moment, he let go of his indifferent reserve and style and started thinking in his brain.

"What exactly is the future that the Oath Breaker saw? Is it real, or did she make it up?" Bai Ling pondered in his heart, "But whether it is the former or the latter, at least she can see the scene before I came into this world. Although there are some deviations in the details, at least it is generally correct. After all, she has never seen my face before, but she can still describe Bai Ling's appearance in the environment..."

'But here comes the problem. The ability to predict the future requires a carrier. It is impossible for a person to watch another person sleeping from thousands of kilometers away. If you want to predict, you must choose a perspective. When I watched the news in my original world, I also watched my phone or TV. But what about the Oath Breaker this time? Could it be that she had arranged the carrier hundreds of years ago to be hundreds of years later? '

'Is it that gray figure? Or something else? No, it's too hard to tell. The guy only showed me a small room and didn't reveal anything else. In fact, the carrier could have been peeping outside the room. But in this case, the people inside didn't seem to notice it at all. This shouldn't be the case - I in my original world have been able to see far into the future, and based on my own cautious personality, I would have ruled out specific dangers in a similar situation even if I needed to use prophecy, not to mention something as complicated as suicide...'

Suicide is the method used by Bering in the original world to summon his next self.

Apart from anything else, if Bai Ling were to come by himself, he would definitely use his precious ability to predict the future to observe the situation around him and see if there was anything wrong.

You have to know that the period after suicide is the most vulnerable time for Bai Ling, because the new Bai Ling has no idea what the situation is like when he comes up, and he doesn't even know how to use his abilities. In such a situation, if someone has bad intentions...

Bai Ling felt that he might not survive more than three seconds.

Especially judging by the performance of the Oathbreaker, she wanted to get rid of herself completely. So it made no sense for her not to take action during the window of time when she saw herself waking up - it was just a matter of firing one more shot, and it wouldn't be a big deal. Even if Bering was already a corpse, a shot to his head and destroying his brain would still kill him.

But she didn't.

What is the reason? In addition, there is another point that Bering is very concerned about.

Judging from the circumstances provided by the Oathbreaker and her attitude, she seemed to have no idea that Bering himself was "dead".

In the "future" provided by that guy, even if he was shot in the head with a gun, Bai Ling, who was lying on the table, quickly recovered the vitality unique to a normal person. His face was not as pale as it was now, but rosy and shiny...

Does this mean that, from the perspective of the Oath Breaker, the Bering who was replaced by the suicide is actually a normal person, not a corpse? If this is true, then it is no wonder that the Oath Breaker has been emphasizing the issue of "the price of prophecy".

Because according to her concept, as long as a living person uses this ability, he will definitely pay a price! As a corpse, Bai Ling doesn't need to worry about this, so during this period of time, he has been using his prophecy ability lavishly.

However, in Han Qianqiu's memories, he actually lost his memory...

Bailing couldn't say or even imagine what this meant.

If it's really what I think...

That's really a hassle.

This is not only for yourself, but also for your future plans and future situations. So this problem must be properly dealt with.

Bai Ling sighed again and was about to continue thinking deeply.

But the next second.

A force even more powerful than before suddenly appeared from below, pulling Bai Ling straight down! "Huh!?"

Before Bai Ling could react, he was grabbed by a pair of invisible hands like an apple on a tree and fell into the darker darkness! Because it happened suddenly, Bai Ling didn't have time to react at the first time, but let his body fall at a very fast speed! However, when he regained consciousness, he could only smile bitterly and silently feel his rapid fall.

At the moment, he had no way to escape from this black space, and it was even difficult for him to move. How could he stop himself from falling? If he hadn't been at a loss, he wouldn't have needed to think about such an important issue in this dangerous and unknown place.

Thinking so.

As he fell, the empty, void black space in front of Bai Ling's eyes finally showed something different from before.

Or it was "below" him, the position that exuded a strong attraction.

At this moment, Bering was like a blind man who had regained his sight. He could see from afar "below" him, and there were some tiny things that seemed to be standing at the end of the black hole.

Wait until you get closer and see it more clearly.

Bai Ling suddenly realized and said to himself: "Is that... a door?"

Yes.

In this deep, dark and bottomless space, Bai Ling actually saw something that looked like a "door".

The reason why it is said to be "like" is because this thing can only be called a "door" in terms of function, but in terms of appearance... it is very different from the doors Bailing has seen so far.

It was a distortion that was difficult to describe in words. Bering even felt that the so-called "door" he saw was just an illusion. The real "door" did not exist. It was just a building similar to the function of a "door" that his brain created for him.

There were no patterns, no handles, nothing at all, only the thought that emerged from the bottom of my heart - "That's the door." Other than that, it had nothing to do with doors.

Looking at this thing, Bai Ling felt that his consciousness was a little fuzzy.

However, because his body was out of control, he was unable to close his eyes even if he wanted to. He could only keep his sights fixed on the "door" in his field of vision.

As he watched, some vague hallucinations seemed to appear in Bai Ling's brain.

He felt as if he was in a strange place, everything around him seemed to be floating, and everything was beyond his cognition. There were things that didn't look like "flowers" but made people know that they were "flowers"; there were also strange "plants" crawling on the ground chewing the soil, and their whole bodies seemed to sway in the phantom. In Bering's perspective, these things appeared in front of him for a while, and then they were exposed underground upside down, and sometimes they were even half in the sky and half in the ground.

It is a space beyond the scope of human concepts. Physics seems to be non-existent and completely unknowable and inaccessible.

In a trance, Bai Ling was pulled outside the "door".

Soon, he was almost being pulled into the "door".

However, just as his body was about to pass through the abstract "door".

The next second, a pair of hands tore through the black space, directly pulling Bai Ling's "body" and forcibly dragging him out of the dark depths!

Without a moment's hesitation, the hands grabbed Bai Ling and quickly left the black space, without any lingering feelings or hesitation.

After Bai Ling left, the torn black space quickly returned to its original state. The "door" still stood in the deepest night, twisting and changing silently.

Everything was the same as before, as if it had lasted for thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of millions of years. ——On the other side.

Bai Ling felt his body being suddenly pulled out from the black space, and then fell heavily onto the solid ground.

Feeling the touch on his back, he heaved a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, it's the real continent."

He wanted to struggle to get up from the ground, but the action still failed - even after rushing out of the black space, he still couldn't feel the control of his body.

Just as he was struggling.

An indifferent voice came from beside him: "Hmm? Human?"

A face suddenly popped out from the blind spot of Bering's vision: "It's really interesting. How did humans end up in this place? And there are so many chains tied to their bodies. If you are not careful, you may be pulled directly into the 'Abyss'."

"If I hadn't discovered it earlier and pulled you back into the abyss, you would probably be dead now. You know, humans can't survive in Tartarus."

Hear what this person says.

Bai Ling, who was trying to struggle, paused slightly.

"Sure enough," he sighed, "that's the abyss."

Just as he expected, the seemingly magnificent, twisted, and crazy world was the birthplace of alien species where even the laws did not necessarily apply - the bottomless abyss.

However, what Bering did not expect was that this place was actually "Tartarus".

That is, the "abyss".

This really was beyond his expectations.

After stopping his futile struggle, Bai Ling looked at the person who suddenly appeared in his sight and pulled him out of falling.

She was a very beautiful woman with a mysterious aura. She looked like a silent astrologer wearing a veil in the palace, observing the direction of the sun, moon and stars in silence and showing no interest in anything else.

A guy who looks a little weird.

However, it was this guy who tore the black space apart not long ago and pulled Bai Ling out of the attraction of the abyss.

Taking his eyes away from her, Bai Ling moved his eyes downward and looked at his own body bit by bit.

Only then did he notice why he could not feel his limbs.

At present, his body is covered with dense white chains. Although the chains do not look too thick, they are extremely tough. There are so many of them that even people with trypophobia would say "I can't stand it" when seeing them.

In addition to his body, Bai Ling estimated that his face was also tightly entangled by these chains.

Otherwise he wouldn't be unable to move his brain.

As if noticing Bai Ling's gaze, the woman said calmly, "Don't even think about trying to break free. Although I don't know the meaning of this chain, I can clearly feel that it is wrapped around your soul. Unless someone is particularly good at dealing with souls, it can't be untied. I can't do it either."

As she spoke, her voice paused again: "But it's not too difficult to loosen it up a bit."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and gently pressed it on Bai Ling's head.

The next second, Bai Ling suddenly felt that the chains tightly wrapped around his body seemed to be pulled a little loose by something, and the original tight pain also weakened a lot.

And I can move now.

So, it was these chains that caused me so much pain before?

Bai Ling thought to himself.

"ha……"

He finally let out his first substantial sigh: "Thank you very much."

The woman took her hand back and looked at him calmly: "Thanking me is useless. I didn't solve the substantive problem."

"But I am also quite curious," she said, "As a human, how did you become like this, and how are you about to enter the Abyss? You know, the last human who entered the Abyss was a long, long time ago."

Listen to her voice.

Bai Ling reluctantly raised his head and looked at the woman in front of him.

After a while he finally said, "What's your name?"

The question stunned the woman for a second.

After a while, she seemed to realize something and shook her head: "The name... there is no need to mention it, not to mention that it is too dangerous to reveal the name to others."

"If you want, you can call me 'the ferryman'," she said calmly, "after all, my job is to guide some guys from the real world to the abyss."

As soon as these words came out.

Looking at the ferryman, Bai Ling's eyes flickered for a moment.

"Thank you very much, Miss Ferryman," he said sincerely, "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have fallen into the abyss."

The ferryman said nonchalantly, "No need for a verbal apology."

After a pause, she continued, "In fact, I didn't save you for nothing."

This is understandable.

Bai Ling also didn't think that a person would risk his life to pull back a completely unrelated guy for no reason.

Although the ferryman said that her duty was to extradite others to the Sky Abyss, judging from her...tough attitude in breaking through the Sky Abyss, it might not be her job to pull Bai Ling back from the black space.

Therefore, Bai Ling guessed at the beginning that the other party probably wanted something from him.

After hesitating for a while, Bai Ling finally chose not to use his predictive ability to see the result in advance.

On the one hand, it was because he didn't know the background of the ferryman in front of him. The other party was too mysterious. As someone who could travel between the sky abyss and the real world, it was not a good thing for Bai Ling to let her know that he had the power to predict the future.

After all, after experiencing the Oath Breaker, Bailing is now more vigilant about the "Origin" that exists in the alien species. Now his ability seems to be related to time, and the "Origin" that has broken free from the constraints of time may not be able to discover his specialness.

So out of caution, he did not observe rashly.

On the other hand, it is meaningless for Bering to predict the future now.

"Abyss" is the wreckage of a failed ascent to the Origin. Using abilities in this place will be greatly suppressed. This was said by the Oath Breaker himself, and Bailing also tried it himself.

In this case, it is better to listen to what the other party has to say.

Anyway, the other party hasn't done anything to me yet, which proves that he has no ill intentions for the time being.

In that case, Bai Ling would be happy to save some effort.

So he just looked at her and said nothing.

On the other side, the ferryman paused for a moment and finally stated his request: "My request is also very simple."

Pulling Bai Ling's clothes, she said calmly: "As a human being, after you strayed into the abyss, you probably want to go back. But I don't want you to go back."

"Stay here, stay with me, that's all I ask."

When she said this, she looked directly into Bai Ling's eyes, openly and honestly.

As if she really meant it.

Bai Ling: “?”
