Chapter 239: I am a Scholar



Amidst a dizzying sensation, the witch slowly woke up.

She opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was Starscream who was looking at her nervously.

After confirming that the witch was indeed awake, Red Spider reached out his hand and tightly grabbed the witch: "Damn it, you scared me to death! I thought you were really going to die!"

The witch who was held tightly by her couldn't help but cough twice: "Wait...let go!"

How come this guy is so powerful? !

The witch felt that Red Spider's hug was about to squeeze out her ribs! Just when she was about to die, a voice came from the side: "It's not that she is too strong, but that you have become weaker."

"Or to be more precise, it has become 'temporarily' weaker," Bai Ling sat on the front of the car and looked at the witch, "After all, the fusion of souls is also a very troublesome thing for you. Even if I force two unrelated souls to be completely blended together, it does not mean that it will have no effect on you."

"Also, don't hold Miss Chris anymore. She is very weak now. If you really do that, she might be killed by you before she dies at the hands of Hermes." Bering said to Starscream.

Hearing this, Red Spider quickly let go of his hand.

On the other side, hearing this voice, the witch raised her head and looked at Bai Ling with complicated eyes.

Her expression was hesitant.

After a long while, she finally said, "Why did you save me?"

This is what the witch couldn't understand.

Bai Ling seemed to have known what the witch would say and just looked up at the sky calmly.

"Because I don't want anyone I know to perish with you," he said, "and after all, you and I have a vow. I will protect you temporarily until this is over."

Listening to Bai Ling's explanation, the witch pursed her lips subconsciously.

"But..." She seemed to want to say something.

However, Bai Ling shook his head: "Don't feel guilty."

"To be honest, this was her own choice. I believe that Song Qingci would never allow herself to share a body with you. Even if the essence of your souls is the same, her personality would never allow her to rescue a monster like you."

Bai Ling jumped out of the car and clapped his hands: "So now is the best result. Song Qingci voluntarily shattered his soul, and you took control of the two souls and accepted the remaining part of Song Qingci's soul, making a leap to...almost the level of 'origin'."

That's right.

In the witch’s previous dream, Bai Ling saw Song Qingci.

Just as the "prophet" said hundreds of years ago, Hermes removed a part of the witch's soul and used some special means to add her into the human reincarnation.

In this reincarnation, Song Qingci's personality is always like that of a saint, in order to constantly leave a mark deep in her soul, making her incompatible with the witch of "evil" and "fear".

In this way, one day when Hermes puts Song Qingci's soul back into the witch's soul, the two will collide with each other because of their completely different characteristics until both are destroyed.

Not long ago, Hermes completely broke the last shackles, and Song Qingci's soul returned to the witch's body. At the same time, as her "previous life", Song Qingci also awakened her memory as "Chris".

With her personality, she couldn't understand why the witch, who was once a human, would kill so many humans in the future.

This difference in concepts caused the souls of Song Qingci and the witch to collide and blend. During this collision, because Song Qingci had reincarnated too many times, the "Chris" in the witch's space became so big that just a thought could make the witch miserable.

There was no way. Even if the witch had lived for hundreds of years, her attainments in the soul were definitely not as good as Hermes'. Not to mention that Song Qingci's soul was carefully planned by Hermes, and its growth potential was naturally higher than that of the witch.

However, the witch's soul is also quite tenacious.

So the final result is that both sides will completely wear out their sanity and nothing will be left.

But at this moment, Bai Ling rushed in.

He stepped into the witch's dream with that law and saw the witch's memory of "Chris" when she was a human before she became an alien.

Song Qingci, who had awakened Chris's memory, was also startled by Bai Ling's sudden intrusion.

Although Chris's memories have filled her brain, Song Qingci still remembers Bai Ling and her own life.

So when she saw Bai Ling, she said "prophet" in confusion? Unfortunately, Song Qingci, who had merged with Chris's soul, was no longer the same person in the strict sense.

This name was just a remnant in her memory.

But one thing has not changed.

That is the extent of Song Qingci's trust in the prophet, and his...disgust for monsters like the witch.

After Bering explained to her the current situation and what would happen next.

Song Qingci made a decision in almost no time: "If that's the case, then crush my spirit and let the witch dominate the soul alone."

"I believe in your judgment, and please forgive me for being in the same body with such a monster," Song Qingci frowned and looked at the witch, "I can't understand her actions, I can't understand her spirit - if I were to be in the same room with her, I just think I would be completely contaminated by her. My beliefs and my spirit would fall into the abyss, which I absolutely cannot tolerate."

"Not to mention, this is the future that you are in. If that's the case, then when I return to the present, nothing has happened to me, right?"

The huge Song Qingci looked at Bai Ling: "You want to bring the witch's soul into reality, and the real world already has a soul of me and the witch. In this way, if I merge with the witch, then doesn't it mean that I can't return to my own body and must stay in her body? Sorry, can I refuse?"

Hearing Song Qingci's undisguised rejection, Bai Ling was stunned for a while.

He didn't know whether he should tell Song Qingci that after time traveling, the soul in the body would return to its previous state.

However, he soon felt that taking thoughts away through consciousness space and traveling through subjective time by changing memories were probably different.

Human consciousness has been unable to enter the Sea of ​​Consciousness from the very beginning. Except for Zou Ye, who has a particularly good compatibility with Bai Ling, all other human souls will be completely annihilated upon entering the Sea of ​​Consciousness.

The witch was able to enter that place because of the special nature of her soul, which is an artificial product of Hermes, similar to the Philosopher's Stone.

However, Song Qingci is different.

She was the human part that was separated from the witch, so of course she couldn't pass the judgment of the ocean like the witch did.

If she entered the sea of ​​consciousness, she would probably be like the human souls that Bai Ling had tried before, capsizing in unconscious wailing.

Therefore, her ending was actually doomed from the beginning.

The Song Qingci of the future is destined to die, and the Song Qingci of the original world probably knows nothing about it.

So after considering for a moment, Bai Ling finally made up his mind.

The result is that the witch has become the only leader of this group of fused souls.

This is also why the witch finds it difficult to understand.

She didn’t expect that Bai Ling didn’t choose someone he knew, but chose... her?

She didn't know the characteristics of Bailing's sea of ​​consciousness, but simply thought that since Bailing did this, he must have his own way. However, even in this situation, Bailing still chose to respect the wishes of both parties.

This made her feel relieved and her trust in Bai Ling gradually increased.

Just like what the witch said to Bai Ling before, among so many powerful people, he is probably the one with the least problems in his brain and the most peaceful.

Such a person is indeed trustworthy, at least he will not sell you out behind your back. This is especially important when the other party is still a "prophet".

If the data can be quantified, then the witch's favorability towards Bering has soared from 40 to 70, from vigilance to "trust".

This was a change that even Bering could not have imagined.

All we can say is that no matter how superb his ability to predict the future is, it is impossible for him to directly read other people's minds.

Ultimately, this is another deviation caused by information asymmetry.

After looking at the witch and then at Bering, Starscream suddenly frowned.

"Wait," she suddenly realized, "this is the future, right?"

Upon hearing this, both Bai Ling and the witch were stunned.

They didn't know why Red Spider was talking about this at this time.

Could it be that she had some other intentions? Bai Ling's eyes flickered slightly.

But the next second, something happened that was beyond her expectations.

Red Spider pointed at the witch, then at Bering: "You guys are going back to the real world later, right?"

Then she pointed at herself and said, "Wouldn't it be that I'm the only one who knows nothing like an idiot? When I go back, I can only watch you two carrying the same little secret?!"

Hear what she said.

Bering and the witch looked at each other.

Then they laughed out loud at the same time.

"I think I understand why you have such a good relationship with her," Bai Ling said calmly, "The core's influence on the mind is indeed very interesting, just like opening a blind box, there is a kind of happiness of drawing cards."

The witch also smiled and nodded: "It's great that you can understand."

Without looking at Red Spider who felt he had been at a disadvantage, Bering turned to the witch and said sternly: "Next I will press you into the law."

"This law has been specially processed by Hermes. Even I know what the impact is. But if you don't want you and Song Qingci in the real world to disappear, then you must occupy it."

Holding the white ball of light, Bering handed it to the witch: "Under normal circumstances, I would let you choose for yourself. But because the current matter involves people I am familiar with, I am sorry - even if you refuse, I will force you to do so."

The witch took the ball of light: "Thank you."

Looking at this thing, she raised her head and added to Bai Ling: "At least you were willing to tell me in advance, which is countless times better than Hermes and that guy. If it were them, they would have completely pulled out my soul and stuffed it in. Or maybe they never wanted me to survive from the beginning."

"So, thank you very much, Prophet," she said. "It's all from the bottom of my heart. If you need anything in the future, I will help you."

The witch who absorbed Song Qingci's soul seemed to have regained the part of herself that she had lost. At this moment, her eyes were clear and bright, without any of the gloom and timidity from before.

Although she was still herself and had not changed in essence, her personality might have had some influence, which was very subtle but very firm.

Looking at the witch, Bai Ling nodded and said nothing.

Just like he told the Oathbreaker.

He would not choose to sacrifice anyone, especially someone he knew and was familiar with.

If he wanted to contain these three "origins", he would need the lives of three people he was familiar with. Bai Ling did not intend to be so embarrassed. If possible, he was very willing to flatten it directly according to the way he had walked all the way!

"And time is not a monolithic entity," he thought as he looked at the witch who had merged into the ball of light. "If nothing else, my existence alone proves that time is not omnipotent."

You know, the previous Bai Ling said that the current Bai Ling himself was the product of his hard work.

Not to mention that the Oathbreaker, the former "Bering", actually traveled through time through some means and came hundreds of years ago, and even influenced Hermes, becoming an alien species that was almost reaching the "origin".

Although he seemed to have failed in the end and turned into "Nostradamus", an alien species twisted from Bering's mind that specialized in hunting "prophets", at least he did transcend time - and as a human.

This was almost unimaginable for Bering before.

After so many cases, Bering can be sure of one thing.

That is time, and it can be controlled!

This process requires countless efforts and countless planning...

"If the oath-breaker is me who traveled through time hundreds of years ago, is there a possibility?"

Bai Ling grabbed the witch's light ball and sank into the sea of ​​consciousness, thinking: "Perhaps besides him, there are others who have also traveled through time?"

This possibility is definitely not low, it can even be said to be very high.

There is no reason why the Oath Breaker is special. He is not the current Bering, and it is impossible for him to know what happened to countless Berings after his death.

Perhaps after or even before the Oath Breaker, there were Berings who traveled through time, but they did not deliberately leave any information behind, and all the Berings... have no memory of this?

'Then who is most likely to be a person from the future?'

The answer popped up in Bailing's mind without him even having to think about it.

The most authoritative academic master in China, the only master, whose research covers all aspects of alien species, can almost be said to be a shocking scholar...

That person not only possessed knowledge that was unimaginable for normal humans, he was also connected to many key figures - he was the teacher of Song Qingci's father, and was also related to the Nine-Headed Divine Religion.

Such a person was almost as shining as a twinkling star in Bering's eyes.

"Wu Dayou," Bai Ling whispered the name, "Is that you?"
