Red Spider sat in the back seat, pulling the window and looking at the people outside.

"It's interesting," she said. "Although they look like ordinary people, they are actually well-trained."

Turning his head to look at Bai Ling, Starscream said: "It seems that the person you are looking for is of a special status."

Bai Ling put his hands on the steering wheel: "Almost."

To be more precise, that person is probably one of the richest and most powerful people in the island nation right now.

This was somewhat beyond Bering's expectations.

He originally thought that this person was "dead", but he didn't expect that he had survived until now.

After hesitating for a moment, Bai Ling opened the car door and said to Red Spider and the Witch in the back: "Come down, there's no danger."

As soon as these words were spoken, both of them understood that Bai Ling must have seen the future.

"How convenient it is to be able to predict the future," Starscream muttered quietly, "Can't I really just eat you and then give you this ability?"

She was somewhat envious of the ability to ensure her own safety at all times and to figure out how to deal with the enemy in advance.

The witch finally woke up from the shock of "Hermes might be resurrected".

She held the car door with her hand and looked at Bai Ling with complicated eyes.

Notice the look in her eyes.

Bai Ling just nodded slightly and said in a gentle voice: "I know, I understand."

Although this sentence was incoherent, both the witch and Bering could understand each other's meaning.

The witch is seeking Bering's protection.

In fact, in the future, the witch gave Bering a long speech. The central idea was nothing more than "Hermes is a lunatic, and as one of the few surviving witnesses of that incident, that guy will definitely come to the door."

In addition, the witch herself was greatly weakened and seriously injured at this time, and she urgently needed to find someone who could compete with Hermes.

In comparison, Bering is undoubtedly her best choice.

On the one hand, there was a basis for cooperation between the two sides. On the other hand, because Hermes needed Bering's help and it was not time to break off relations, the madman would never attack Bering's men - unless He wanted to endure the endless wrath of a prophet.

Hermes, who had been deceived by the prophet in the past and is still tirelessly craving for "time", will probably make the most correct choice for the current situation.

Therefore, Bai Ling also understood the witch's thoughts.

He agreed for the time being.

Although the witch herself is not a good person, the threat from Nostradamus is obviously more serious in comparison.

You have to know that guy comes specifically to hunt down "prophets" like you.

In comparison, the witch can be said to be "harmless" - even Starscream may be more threatening to Bering than she is.

Moreover, the witch's knowledge and secrets can be of great help to Bering in his fight against Nostradamus.

To sum up, the cooperation between the two parties is a natural outcome.

After getting Bai Ling's approval, the witch breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really a little scared.

The witch was originally a steady and cautious person. She was able to hide in Tartarus for more than two months after she noticed that something was wrong with Bering. Now that Hermes suddenly ran out of the peninsula, the witch did not run back to Tartarus out of fear, which showed that she had great trust in Bering's strength and promise.

It's my personality, it's my personality.

With these two people, Bering walked towards where he was docked - an abandoned factory near Tokyo Bay.

On the way, they met a few people in suits and black sunglasses, but these people probably knew Bai Ling's identity and did not stop him. Instead, they led him deeper into the factory with great respect.

It was an empty platform filled with concrete pillars, with an upward staircase next to it. In the corner of the stairs were piled many leftover industrial building materials, scattered all over the ground.

In the middle of the platform, there were two chairs facing each other. One chair was occupied, while the other was empty.

Sitting on one of the chairs, the person that Bering was looking for finally spoke: "I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Princess Kaguya of the island nation, Kaguya the Taketori, looked at Bering quietly: "They all said that you were missing. I didn't quite believe this. I always believed that this was the beginning of a new round of your conspiracy. Now it seems that I made the right bet."

No, actually that was not part of my plan.

Bai Ling smiled bitterly in his heart.

Honestly speaking, if it weren't for all the "wonderful" factors that came together, Bering would probably have been dragged into the abyss instead of returning to the surface from Tartarus.

I can only say that I was lucky.

But there is no need to say these words to the person on the other side.

He sat down on the chair opposite Kaguya and said easily, "It seems that you have confidence in me."

Kaguya nodded, "Yes, I am well aware of your abilities."

Hearing this, Bai Ling glanced at the men in black suits beside him with a half-smile: "Believe in my ability? If that's the case, then it seems that you didn't follow what I said before?"

This sentence is about how Bering asked Kaguya to fake her death and escape in the island country.

Judging from the current situation, Kaguya may have already gained enormous power through various means, let alone faked her death.

Kaguya said in a serious tone, "This is the result of my comprehensive consideration of many factors. I believe that what you want is not just a person, but the greater value of this person. For example, right now - most of the official institutions in Tokyo have been infiltrated by me. If you want, I can submit all of this to the Countermeasures Bureau, or to you personally."

This is indeed a great gift.

Although the official supernatural organization on the island country is in a terrible state and is not even in the top ten of the "Power Ranking", it is simply a shame for humanity, but that is only compared with other people.

In any case, this was a metropolis of tens of millions of people. Even if they only enjoyed some privileges in this city, it would be enough for them to do many things that ordinary people could hardly imagine.

Not to mention that it is an inevitable trend for supernatural organizations to have greater say in the future.

Therefore, Kaguya's words carry a lot of weight.

However, Bai Ling knew very well why Kaguya said this.

Just like what Xun Mo and Qi Guang said before, no one would be nice to someone for no reason. If someone starts to show genuine kindness, it means that what he wants is already so big that it is unimaginable.

But having said that…

Looking at Kaguya's determined eyes opposite him, Bai Ling couldn't help but sigh.

"Although I already know what you want to say," Bai Ling said with a headache, with his hands on his knees, "but from the way you look at it, I'm afraid you won't let it go unless I say those words myself."

"That's fine, if that's the case, then I'll say one more word."

Putting the white gloves on his hands, Bai Ling looked at Kaguya sharply: "You have paid so much, what do you need?"

The words fell.

Kaguya barely hesitated for a moment before the words came out of her mouth: "I want you to help me kill someone."

This sentence seemed to have been in her mind for a long time, so when she said it, Kaguya did not grit her teeth, but said it in a calm and thoughtful tone: "Help me kill Xun Mo from the Countermeasures Bureau. As long as you can do this, then I can give up this city and this country."

That's true.

Bai Ling's smile was somewhat helpless: "Shocking."

"Let's not talk about how big your words are. What exactly does a city or a country represent? How can it be passed on to others with just your words?" Bai Ling spread out his hands. "Just your request is enough for me to do it."

"Xun Mo is the head of the Strategy Bureau, the top person under Wang Weizheng, and also my friend. Emotionally, I can't kill him for a guy like you who is almost a stranger; logically..."

Looking at Kaguya, Bai Ling chuckled: "Do you think you are more important than the Countermeasures Bureau? Is it worth it for me to irritate the Countermeasures Bureau and cause a fight between me and my former ally just for you?"

The logic is clear and irrefutable.

Kaguya also knew that what she said was simply a fantasy and no normal person would agree to it.

But there is no way.

If you want "revenge", then Bering is the best candidate.

She looked at Bai Ling and said firmly: "Of course I know it's difficult, but the fact is that I can..."

Before she could finish, Bai Ling interrupted her: "Are you trying to say that your identity as a hybrid of human and alien is important enough?"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Starscream next to him was stunned: "Hybrid?! Is this true?! Can humans and aliens give birth to children?!"

The witch was also slightly startled: "How is it possible..."

They couldn't help but look Kaguya up and down in front of them.

You know, as far as they know, from a long time ago to the present, there has never been a record of alien species giving birth to offspring.

This is not a joke.

The birth of alien species is not the result of normal reproductive behavior, but is born from concepts and human consciousness. This form of life is destined to make them rarely have reproductive desires, and even if they have such intentions, the difference in body structure makes it impossible for them and other people to produce offspring.

There are huge differences even between alien species, not to mention between alien species and humans.

Compared with the shocking thing of "human intermarriage and offspring", Hermes' "Philosopher's Stone" and artificial alien plan can be regarded as "mild"...

After all, the latter is just a fantasy, while the former... is against the law! That's why Starscream and the Witch were so shocked.

The older one is, the more one can understand the value of the law - just like it is absolutely impossible for alien species to violate "time", it is unlikely that this law of reproduction will occur in other people.

And now, a possibly living mixed-race child appeared before them...

How could they not be surprised? If this method could be promoted...

The witch and Starscream looked at each other, and saw thoughtfulness in each other's eyes.

Bai Ling helped them add the final meaning: "You mean, if this reproductive result can be generalized, then the relationship between humans and alien species will probably be completely different from what it is now?"

"Alien species cannot give birth to offspring with each other, but they can give birth to children with humans. If this process can be popularized, then humans will probably not face the end of extinction - as long as it is a living being, it must have the intention to continue itself, even crazy alien species are no exception. It is better to say that their morbid personalities make them more eager to give birth to offspring who inherit their will. Monsters born from will naturally want to pass on their will. This is inevitable."

Bai Ling said slowly: "But that is just a 'captive ending' similar to the human watch, and it is also a kind of capitulationism. I remember I said before that any surrender will result in demotion. As a member of Yanxia Mountain, have you forgotten it?"

As he spoke, Bai Ling raised his eyebrows and looked at Kaguya deeply.

There was a great sense of oppression in that look, as if a flock of crows were perched on the edge of a tree at night, staring at her with their blood-red eyes, making her back feel cold and unable to move.

Under such oppression, Kaguya gritted her teeth and said word by word: "Of course... I know. But what I want to say... is not just this..."

She slowly moved her eyes away from Bai Ling's sight and said with difficulty: "The ability for humans and alien species to give birth to offspring is not based on pure reproductive behavior, but on a deeper nature... a fusion."

"During the fusion process, the characteristics of both parties may be superimposed," Kaguya said, "the characteristics of the alien species may be superimposed on humans, and the characteristics of humans may also be superimposed on other people..."

"In other words, if humans and alien species try this behavior, perhaps they can create the desired... fusion!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

The witch and Red Spider next to them both looked a little strange.

They looked at Bai Ling strangely, then seemed to be thinking about something and said nothing.

Bai Ling certainly knew what they were thinking now.

But he ignored her and continued to press on: "And then? What does this mean to me? Do you think this superficial exchange can make me change my mind?"

Under his violent offensive, Kaguya had no choice but to frown and finally played her last trump card.

"In fact, before aliens and humans attempted to fuse, it is said that there were people who had already performed fusions. That's how we did it," Kaguya said, "especially... when there is a precedent."

"For example, someone once tried to merge something called 'death' with something called 'rebirth'. The result was that the thing that died first and then resurrected exploded with unimaginable energy. Some even believed that this might represent the power of the end..."

Looking at Bai Ling, Kaguya said something shocking: "So someone told me that anyone who wants to master time must experience 'death' and 'rebirth'. This is the secret of essence!"

yes.

The essence of everything goes through "death", then moves towards "rebirth", and finally reaches "time".

This is the secret of mastering the authority of time, and also the meaning of... "origin"!

Looking at Red Spider, Bering said, "So you understand now. Why did the Oathbreaker create several cores? Because what He wants to do is to let the other cores die, and let the most fundamental self survive, so as to deceive time and finally reach the 'Origin'."

"You are like this, the Pale Lady is like this, and the Witch is like this, I'm afraid!"

The words fell.

The Red Spider and the Witch, who were still staring at Bering, changed their expressions at the same time! This was almost like feeding the secret of origin to them.

But Bailing was not worried that they would pose a threat to him after finding out.
