Before the ferryman could finish his sentence , a glowing white ball of light suddenly burst out from Bai Ling's hand and headed straight for the ferryman's face!

Um?!

The ferryman's expression was slightly startled.

She subconsciously wanted to retreat, but unexpectedly, the white ball of light seemed to have consciousness. No matter how the ferryman dodged and moved, it kept chasing her! Damn it!

For the first time, the ferryman's expression showed some fluctuation.

Although she didn't know what that thing was, her instinct told her that it would be better not to take it.

She took two steps back and said, "It's an interesting trick, but if..."

However, she did not finish her words.

Just as she retreated to a place not far from the sea surface, a pair of hands suddenly stretched out from below the sea level and grabbed her feet!

What is this?!

The ferryman's heart was filled with ripples.

She lowered her head slightly and realized that the person holding her hand was a "soul".

The soul seemed to have lost consciousness, and was grinning foolishly like a mental patient. In addition, the degree of fit between him and this space was so high that the ferryman did not notice him at the first time, but was entangled by him instead.

What the hell is this?! She looked up at Bai Ling who was standing opposite her.

"Do you really like to put these messy things in your own consciousness space?"

The ferryman's tone was filled with anger: "Letting others invade your private space, is this your hobby? Very well, if you like it, then I will let you have fun as much as you want after we return to the Narrow Space of Time!"

Hearing this, Bai Ling just smiled.

"You should enjoy that kind of play by yourself," he stretched out his hand with his five fingers flat, "and no matter what, you should pay more attention to your own condition now. You know, if you are not careful, you will be swallowed up."

As the words fell, the ring on Bai Ling's hand flashed slightly.

Soon, the white light ball that was originally chasing the ferryman suddenly burst into bright light again!

In the eyes of the ferryman, she even felt that she saw a sun rising in front of her! A familiar feeling quietly emerged in her heart.

Could this thing be...

With his toes touching the sea surface, the ferryman controls his body to glide above the water.

At this moment, she looked like a figure skater. The water beneath her feet was covered with pale waves, which gathered and dispersed with her movements, and finally sank to the bottom of the sea bit by bit.

Judging from her appearance alone, she seems to be doing quite well.

But in fact, the ferryman is in a bad mood now.

On the one hand, it was because of the light ball that was chasing her and made her feel something was wrong. On the other hand, it was because the space in Bai Ling made her feel a little uncomfortable.

In the final analysis, this is still Bering's consciousness space. Just like she said before, this is Bering's "private territory".

Anyone who rashly breaks into someone's home is likely to be expelled by the other party, and this is the case with the ferryman. The more active she is in this consciousness space, the more likely she is to be rejected by this space until she is completely driven out.

This was something she didn't want to see.

According to her original purpose, she should have hidden in this space and followed Bai Ling back to the present.

As an existence related to time, the existence of the ferryman is unique, just like Bering. They use the ability to predict the future to travel back and forth between the future and the present without having multiple "selves". This ability probably comes from time itself. As the related person of the time ability, they themselves have "uniqueness".

Otherwise, time itself would have collapsed long ago.

Therefore, following Bai Ling back and forth between fantasy and reality will not make her disappear.

However, the current situation is no longer a question of how far she can follow Bai Ling, but rather a question of whether this consciousness space will drive her out directly if she continues to stay in this place and make a scene.

If I really get kicked out...

That would be a bit troublesome.

The ferryman subconsciously gritted his teeth, and more complicated expressions flashed in his eyes.

She slammed on the brakes and stopped where she was, dodging the white ball of light.

"Wait," she said, "just a moment."

"I roughly understand the current situation," she pointed at Bai Ling, "You have been trying to get me into your consciousness from the beginning. Are you planning to surround me and set a trap for me?"

Hearing this, Bai Ling smiled.

"you guess?"

The ferryman was not angry at Bai Ling's perfunctory response. Instead, he said seriously, "I know what you are thinking - to restrict my actions through this 'law' and seal me in this ball of light. As a spiritual being, it is normal for me to live in the law. But if there is someone in the law, I will have to face that existence head-on."

"You want to suppress me through this method. You have no way to kill me, and you don't intend to kill me. I think it's probably because of my identity - am I created by a certain existence, and you intend to deal with that existence, so you need to observe my actions?"

Hmm? Bai Ling tilted his head and glanced at her.

He didn't expect that the ferryman could think of so many things in such a short time.

As if realizing that he was recognized by Bai Ling, the ferryman said calmly: "This is not difficult to guess. My birth is full of mysteries, and my meeting with you is also 'deliberate'. Not to mention that I was pulled out of the narrow space of time to deal with you, so I can fully understand the current situation."

After a slight pause, the ferryman said, "But I don't think your method will necessarily work."

"If they want to suppress me through the law, then first of all, the person who masters this law must have stronger mental power than me. Although I have not tried this, I guess that the suppression of the law is not out of nothing. The power that drives this is most likely a person's mental power."

"On the other hand, if I was really created by a being, then all my actions are probably being watched. No matter what you do, it will probably be noticed by someone. If you really want to deal with someone, it may not be wise to let the other party know your purpose in advance."

Finally, the ferryman concluded: "So, in the final analysis, there is still room for discussion between us. If it is really necessary, I can temporarily not take you back."

Watching her final touches, Bai Ling pursed his lips slightly.

The ferryman was sincere when she said these words, and according to what Bering had known about her during this period, she was not a person who was good at deceiving.

Therefore, her words carry a lot of weight.

After all, the biggest difficulty Bai Ling has to face so far comes from her.

Therefore, agreeing to the ferryman's request now is relatively sensible to some extent.

but.

"But," said Bering, "I refuse."

Huh? The ferryman was a little bit unbelievable when he heard this: "You... refuse?"

Why refuse?

Didn't he realize that if his plan didn't succeed, there would likely be a huge price to pay?

Even though it was in his consciousness space, the existence that created him could not be concealed by the small sea surface. If there was a deviation, then He would probably notice it, and then all of Bering's plans and arrangements would come to an end! What was wrong with this guy that made him unwilling to accept it? Before the ferryman could figure it out.

Bai Ling reached out his hand again.

On his finger, the light of the ring flickered slightly.

"You may have misunderstood one thing," he said kindly, "I did intend to seal you somewhere, but that is not in accordance with the law. No matter how stupid I am, I know that the law can only be occupied by one person."

"What I really want to seal in you is someone's heart."

When he finished saying this.

The originally white ball of light suddenly shone brightly.

A pale figure gradually emerged from the white light ball, and in the ferryman's confused and surprised eyes, he opened his arms and quietly hugged her.

Looking at the white figure in front of him, the ferryman said in disbelief: "This is... impossible?!"

"How can you possibly have a 'soul'?!"

That's right.

This is Bering’s final plan so far.

The witch Chris is, after all, a creation of Hermes.

As a thief of the law of "soul", his products naturally also contain elements of "soul".

In addition, the witch herself is the first version of the "Philosopher's Stone" that Hermes dived into the abyss to carry something. In other words, she is an excellent soul carrier.

But the ferryman at this moment is a pure soul posture.

Is there a more appropriate ending than a device created by someone who controls the soul to hold a pure soul? The only troublesome thing is how to convince the witch to carry out this plan with him.

After all, the witch is rather timid. Once she hears that she might be used against the Origin, she will immediately plan to escape.

However, in the end, under Bering's "friendly" negotiations, the witch suddenly "understood things" and quickly realized that her value lies in providing more convenient conditions for the prophet.

Therefore, everyone is happy.

Thinking of this, Bai Ling clapped his hands lightly.

"Collect." He said softly.

As soon as this sentence was said.

The witch held the ferryman's face in her hands, and their foreheads touched each other.

Soon, under the ferryman's incredulous eyes, her figure was sucked into the white ball of light little by little.

This method is silent and absolutely impossible to be detected by anyone.

Because the law of soul is only slightly inferior to the law of time. Even if it is personified time, if you don't observe it intentionally, it is impossible to find similar clues.

He stretched out his hand to grab the white ball of light, and looked at the witch who was curled up in the ball.

Bai Ling gave a faint smile.

In this way,...

"That way, we're done."

A voice came from behind Bai Ling.

And Bai Ling did not turn around.

He just put the ball of light in his pocket and said expressionlessly: "I thought you wouldn't come."

Hearing Bai Ling's words, the man laughed and said, "No, no, no, how could I not come? If you were in my position, you would do the same thing as me."

"After all, we are 'the same person' in some ways."

So said the man, the former oath-breaker, who now goes by the alias Nostradamus.

Turning his head and looking at the guy who had almost nothing to do with him in his memory, Bai Ling said calmly: "How did you get in... This question is probably nonsense."

"As the same existence, although you are no longer human and have no ability to use time, it is not difficult for you to enter the essentially identical consciousness space."

Standing on the water, the man's figure was reflected in Bai Ling's eyes: "However, what I am confused about is what your purpose is in coming here."

"Although I thought you would come, I can't figure out why you came here. You no longer have the ability to control time. Once I go back to the present, you will lose everything here. And you, it seems, have not yet achieved 'Origin' and cannot resist the constraints of time."

Yes.

This is also what makes Bai Ling confused.

According to his guess, the Oathbreaker should have achieved the Origin long ago.

You know, Bai Ling was delayed here for a lot of time by the ferryman. If this time is utilized, there is no reason why the Oath Breaker cannot get rid of one of his core members.

The oath-breaker just smiled and said, "Who knows? I might have been able to say something in the past, but now I can no longer see my destiny..."

As he spoke, the Oath Breaker sighed abruptly: "Oh, I almost forgot that you are also a prophet like me before. I can't help it. It's really a professional habit. I always can't help but say some confusing words."

"Well, the logic is very simple anyway," the Oath Forsaken spread his hands, "I am not sure that after absorbing my core, I will become the Origin. It's that simple."

"It's not as easy as you think to become the Origin. If you really only need one core, then why did I divide out so many cores in the first place? Not to mention that my path to becoming the Origin has almost been cut off by you now."

He said, "You killed the core of the Pale Lady yourself, didn't you?"

The oath-breaker was referring to the incident in Xinhai City.

Bering used the Prophet's inertia to kill the Pale Lady's core.

Shrugging his shoulders, the Oathbreaker said, "After losing a core member of my body, it is very difficult for me to achieve the origin using conventional methods. So, I changed my thinking a little bit."

"If you can't become the Origin yourself, then you can borrow someone else's body," he said. "So I helped Lionheart King become the Origin - of course, there were a lot of tricks and tricks in the process, so he is not actually a complete Origin, but at least he is enough to be used as a body for a certain existence."

"Then, I will pull someone out of the narrow space of time and let her descend upon the Lionheart King. At the same time, I will follow her wishes and let her take the initiative to find you."

"In the end, no matter what method you used, you got rid of her. Now her soul is yours, and you have sealed it in the law."

Pulling his collar, the Oath Forsaken said slowly, "And I will also go to receive my body next."

Accept his...body.

Hearing this, Bai Ling's pupils shrank slightly.

"From the beginning, you didn't want the body of the Lionheart King," Bai Ling said slowly, "Ever since you helped the Lionheart King achieve the Origin, you wanted to use his body as a carrier for the ferryman."

"Then, after I have sealed her soul, you will enter the Narrow Space of Time and take the now empty body of the Ferryman as your own."

Bai Ling's expression changed slightly.

"You want to be like the ferryman?!"

Listen to this sentence.

The smile on the oath-breaker's face remained unchanged.

It was as if she was tacitly agreeing with his answer.
