Chapter 242 I Scattered All My Ashes for You



"If I want to find someone, then I need to send someone."

With one foot on the land, the witch took out her phone while looking at Bai Ling: "I still have some connections in Yanzhou. Although I haven't appeared much recently, I guess there are still many people willing to follow my orders."

Bai Ling just nodded slightly: "Okay, then send someone."

Drawing an arc with his fingers in the air, Bai Ling added, "There aren't many clues, but they should be enough. A woman who retired from the Countermeasures Bureau, probably around 70 to 80 years old, who once had a relationship with Wu Dayou."

That's enough.

The witch nodded at Bai Ling while talking on the phone.

Historically, not many people have retired from the Countermeasures Bureau. Even when the Countermeasures Bureau was victorious, many people died on the job. Not to mention those who are over 70 years old. Basically, those who have lived to this age without being plotted against by their enemies are all "legends" like Wang Weizheng, who shocked the world.

After all, in such a world, the more you do, the more people will target you. And when you want to retire, the spiders that once hid in the shadows will also start to weave their webs.

"Okay, okay, I understand."

As she pressed the phone, the witch couldn't help but frown: "I have arranged for someone to look for him, but the efficiency may not be very strong."

efficiency?

Bai Ling was startled when he heard this, and then he reacted: "You mean that the Countermeasures Bureau has gradually regained control of Yanzhou, and your local strength has been squeezed?"

Witch: “That’s right.”

She handed the phone to Bai Ling, then turned on the screen and showed it to Bai Ling.

After taking a look, Bai Ling understood what the witch meant.

This is a specialized website, and the design is relatively simple, and it can be seen that it is still under development. However, even so, the general framework has been built, and it is easy to see the purpose of this website.

This is a website for "reporting" and "countermeasures".

"You should have seen that the Countermeasures Bureau has branches stationed in the island country," the witch put away her phone, "so the domestic network is probably even more tight. This is the case in Yanzhou. After borrowing the structure of the 'Union', the Countermeasures Bureau has attracted many top civilian experts. Now, many alien species in various places have been eliminated, and Yanzhou is no exception."

"My former subordinates are not doing well now. They used to be able to survive, but now they have completely disappeared to avoid being hunted by humans."

The witch sighed: "So even if I give a mission, they won't respond as quickly as before. And those who have the ability to complete the mission are probably few and far between."

This was beyond Bai Ling's expectations.

According to the original timeline, the witch should have run Yanzhou City like an iron plate. No one could infiltrate this place. Ordinary people, aliens and the Countermeasures Bureau maintained a delicate balance in this city. Even after the witch became the "origin", there was no change. At most, ordinary people were slowly disappearing.

However, now that Bering has started to promote cooperation between the unions, the government and the public, the land originally occupied by the witches is now being recovered little by little by the Countermeasures Bureau. The reaction is that the effectiveness of the orders issued by the witches has become quite low.

...How should I put it? Bai Ling felt it was a bit funny.

To be honest, even he could not have imagined that he would now cooperate with the witch, Red Spider and other alien species that he had once wanted to eradicate. It was also because of this that he did not think too much when promoting the development of the domestic environment in the past. Of course, he would do whatever he could to make humans dominant.

It can only be said that so many things have happened so far that Bering's ideas have undergone some subtle changes unconsciously.

The impact that the Oath Breaker brought to Bai Ling made him unconsciously begin to consider using all the factors he could.

"Then let's arrange it first," Bai Ling sighed, "The time doesn't matter, as long as we are not exposed for the time being, then it doesn't matter."

The most pressing issue right now is Hermes' one-month deadline.

One month later, regardless of whether Bering went to the peninsula or not, Hermes would enter the Abyss. And after entering that place, he would completely close the gate of the Abyss and not allow anyone to enter or leave.

If this happens, it means that Bering's idea of ​​completely cutting off all alien species will be declared bankrupt the moment Hermes enters the Abyss alone.

Therefore, as long as domestic affairs were dealt with one month in advance and the trouble of Nostradamus was resolved, Bering would be able to enter the peninsula.

There is still a long time.

Bai Ling pulled his scarf and seemed to suddenly remember something: "Do you need to rest for a while?"

"You've been running around a lot lately," he said to Starscream and the Witch, "Even if there's no physical impact, you're probably mentally exhausted. This is a good opportunity to relax."

If you keep tense, things will only get worse.

Not to mention the matter of finding someone, no matter how much Bering foresaw the future, he couldn't figure out when he could find someone. It could be a day, or it could be a week, and this was temporarily beyond Bering's ability to predict the future.

So there is no point in being anxious, we can only wait.

And Bai Ling was actually a little tired.

Even though Bai Ling's physical condition does not require physical rest, it must be said that he is indeed mentally exhausted now.

This is based on the fact that he is a dead man and his emotions are suppressed to a great extent.

In the past three months, Bai Ling had hardly had a single day to relax. From the abandoned hospital to Yanxia Mountain, to the island country and back home, Bai Ling felt like a taut string that never stopped for a moment.

Now that I have some free time, I feel a genuine sense of tiredness.

And he was not afraid of being seen by those who knew everything when he was walking around. On the one hand, they couldn't stretch their hands so far, knowing that this was the witch's territory and still coming here. On the other hand, Bai Ling was still confident in his abilities.

He may not be able to win the fight, but if someone really comes, he will definitely be able to find out in advance.

When Red Spider and the Witch heard this, they were slightly startled.

They looked at each other.

Soon, Starscream shrugged, "I don't care."

"Anyway, the Countermeasures Bureau doesn't know my true identity now," she said with her hands behind her back. "Even if I run out onto the street and yell, only law enforcement officers will come, not the Countermeasures Bureau to arrest me."

That's true.

The identity of Starscream has always been a mystery, which is reflected even in the diary. Because her core can be replaced at any time, no one can really confirm where she is unless conclusive evidence is found.

Apart from Bai Ling and... Wu Dayou, who might be a prophet, other people probably mean nothing to her.

As for the other side.

The witch shook her head subconsciously: "I can't."

She smiled bitterly: "You know, in Yanzhou... I am too conspicuous. Even if I disguise my identity, the local countermeasures bureau personnel in Yanzhou City will probably be able to recognize me at a glance."

Thanks to the witch's "management", the Yanzhou City Countermeasures Bureau hates her. In addition to her dangerousness, many people have to identify the witch's identity before entering Yanzhou City.

In this case, some people who are particularly familiar with the witch might be able to recognize her even after she turns into ashes.

Therefore, the witch casually said, "You two go and have a rest. I'll go to the back to make some arrangements. Although I have fewer people to use at the moment, I should make good arrangements when I really need them."

As she spoke, she thoughtfully handed the phone to Bai Ling: "I marked a few famous buildings and tourist spots in Yanzhou City on my phone. If you are interested in local culture, you can go to the places I recommend. Oh, by the way, the dumplings in Yanzhou City are very delicious. I personally recommend you go to the one in the next block. You can also find a lot of genuine game discs in Haitian Shopping Mall..."

Listening to her endless, detailed words, Starscream pushed Bai Ling unhappily: "Alright, alright, we are not stupid! Then you book a hotel first, and we can check in directly when we come back. It's best if it has a hot spring! I'm used to hot springs in the island country, and I feel a little uncomfortable because I haven't taken a hot spring recently."

After saying that, she pushed Bai Ling outside.

The witch also spread her hands and sighed: "Okay, okay, start working, work."

"Luckily I have a spare phone," she took out her phone, "Oh, turn it on."

"Ah, the battery is out..." —— "Where to go?"

Standing at the bus stop, Starscream looked at Bering very seriously.

Bai Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You don't even know where you're going, and you're taking me with you?"

Red Spider rolled his eyes and said, "Come on, the phone is in your hand, how can I show you the way?"

Bai Ling opened the phone left by the witch and looked at the content on the phone seriously: "Do you want to go hiking?"

Starscream looked disgusted: "No!"

She has been locked up in the mountains for who knows how many years. If she really goes hiking now, wouldn't that awaken her PTSD?

Bai Ling: "Amusement park?"

Starscream: "How old are you?"

Bai Ling: "Vertically, it's not as big as yours, but horizontally, it's definitely bigger than yours. So, let's go to Happy Valley of Wonderful Ideas?"

Starscream: "Isn't that no different from an amusement park?! You wanted to go, didn't you?!"

Bai Ling coughed and said, "I'm just interested in this kind of childlike experience store. And considering your height, I think you can get half the ticket price, which is very economical."

Snatching the phone away, Starscream bared his teeth at Bai Ling: "Let me see!"

As she looked around, she rolled her eyes: "The arcade... I'm not interested. The experience center... it's too fake, I might as well go by myself. The aquarium... huh, let me go to the aquarium with this guy? I might as well commit suicide."

Bai Ling rolled his eyes imperceptibly when he heard this.

Who will go with you?

Just as the two of them were chatting about random things.

Suddenly a voice came from the side: "Children, are you from other places?"

Huh? Hearing this voice, Starscream was stunned for a moment.

She subconsciously looked at the person who interrupted them by speaking.

He was an elderly man, dressed rather simply, with a thin rope tied on his head and a shiny emerald hanging on the side of the rope.

This old lady was probably in her seventies, with wrinkles all over her face, like weathered bark. Especially when she smiled, the wrinkles of time piled up together, making her look even more vicissitudes and...

Weird.

Starscream subconsciously looked up and wanted to see Bai Ling beside him.

But soon, a hand covered her head.

Bai Ling rubbed Red Spider's head and said cheerfully, "Yes, we are from Morning Wind and we are traveling in Yanzhou recently."

After hearing this, the old man's hunched back seemed to become even more bent.

Her eyes narrowed with a smile: "Oh, oh, Morning Breeze, what a good place, what a good place..."

Glancing at Red Spider and Bai Ling, she seemed to be a little nostalgic: "You two should be siblings, right? It's a rare opportunity for you to come to Yanzhou, are you planning to travel? If you can't find any fun places, then I can recommend a place for you to go..."

She tremblingly took out a crumpled piece of paper from her pocket, flattened it carefully, and handed it to Bai Ling.

Bering took the paper and looked at it with Starscream.

"Aomori...Horror Theme Park?" Starscream whispered word by word.

Bai Ling picked up the paper and looked at the old man: "Are you saying that you want us to go to this theme park?"

The old man nodded repeatedly. "Yes, that's right. This theme park has been open for a while and is very famous locally. And the props there are very realistic, they look just like the real thing. Not only that, many young people around your age have gone there to play, and they even took some... short videos? They posted them online, and they are very famous."

Hearing this, Red Spider subconsciously wanted to laugh.

But soon, she was hit on the head by Bai Ling, neither lightly nor heavily.

"Okay, thank you very much for your recommendation," Bai Ling said with a smile, "We'll consider it."

The old man: "Okay, okay, I recommend you go to this place. If you are a brother and sister, this kind of theme park should have a lot of interesting facilities... Oh, my car is here, so you two, I'll go first."

After saying this, the old man slowly got on the bus.

Bering and Starscream were left alone to smile goodbye at her outside the window.

Wait until the bus completely disappeared from their sight.

Starscream, who was being held on the shoulder by Bering, looked up at him and said, "What do you think?"

Holding the paper, Bai Ling's expression was nonchalant: "Derivatives, an old trick. Existences like these 'accomplices' like to lure tourists or outsiders into their hunting grounds. Why, have you had a similar experience?"

Starscream sneered, "You can slander my intelligence, but you can't slander my taste. Even when I'm extremely bored, I still like to fight with the strong, not seduce ordinary people and then abuse them. This is how those guys from the Nine-Headed Divine Cult play, but I'm not that perverted."

She is very upright. Even if she is simple and cunning, at least she is not too perverted.

Compared to someone like Lan Kong, Red Spider is like a saint.

And Bai Ling stuffed the flyer into her hand: "So, have you decided where to go?"

Red Spider tore up the leaflet and smiled coldly: "Nonsense."

"Fighting and mowing the lawn are also a form of relaxation," she casually tossed away the shredded paper, "not to mention that this lowly bastard actually dared to set his sights on me. Although I admit that I have excellent appearance and superb concealment, she still made a mistake. If you make a mistake, you must abide by the law. This is a matter of course."

"I want to see if that bastard can stop me from getting rid of her."

Along with her voice, pieces of paper fluttered all over the ground like a flurry of snowflakes.

Just a second before the pieces of paper were about to fall to the ground, a gray mist rolled them up one by one, gathered them into a ball, and threw them into the trash can nearby.

The gray mist rolled and expanded, blowing Bai Ling's clothes, causing his collar to flutter in the windless autumn day.

"Well," Bai Ling shrugged, "this is also a way to relax."

Fighting against high-tech guys like Starscream, Witch, and Hermes all day long is a bit too tiring.

Sometimes, bullying the weak ones can really help relax your tense nerves a little.

Tomorrow we will resume two updates
