Bai Ling sat on the sofa in the base, next to him were the other members of Ming Zhou.

At the moment, these people are gathering around Bai Ling, listening to him talk about the precautions for this mission.

Among these people are Li Jingwen, Ji Qianqin and others who were brought back by Bai Ling, as well as Lin Ju and Song Qingci, who rushed back from all over the world as soon as they heard that Bai Ling had returned.

So far, basically all the members of Ming Zhou have gathered together, except Ding Yan, who is still scattered outside because of the problems of the Nine-Headed Divine Sect.

"The place we are going to is called 'Tianyuan'."

Under everyone's gaze, Bai Ling said: "To be honest, I don't know much about that place. I just know that it is the origin of everything. If we want to truly eliminate all the alien species, then we have to go there."

Looking around at the others, Bai Ling spoke calmly and gently: "Of course, I need to point out in advance that Tianyuan is very dangerous. If the highest danger we have encountered so far is no more than 'disaster', then that place is probably full of disasters. Not only that, the abilities of those alien species are hard to guard against. The alien species that exist in Tianyuan may be far beyond our imagination."

"Although I've asked you this before, I still want to remind you for safety reasons that this is very, very dangerous. If you don't want to accept it now, I won't say anything if you withdraw. After all, there's no need to deliberately risk your life for others."

After listening to Bai Ling's words, everyone present looked at each other.

Finally, everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Ju.

Under their gaze, Lin Ju, the first person Bai Ling had found, stepped forward and said in a tone that would never change: "Since that day four months ago, we have already made the decision."

"If I have to choose a way to live, I would rather struggle to survive in this strange and mysterious Shura Field than continue to do my job as a funeral director. Apart from decorating corpses, I only read those supernatural articles on the forum every day."

"Here, although the work is harder, I travel more, see more messy things, and feel bad more often than before..."

Lin Ju looked at Bai Ling calmly: "But I feel so much more fulfilled and happy now than before."

"You personally selected all of us. With your ability as a prophet, you know these individuals better than we do. So you should know very well that none of the members here are willing to be ordinary."

It is precisely because they are unwilling to be ordinary that some of them follow Bai Ling's footsteps for their own dreams and expectations, from Linjiang at the beginning to Chenfeng, Yanxiashan and Xinhai.

So this question actually already has an answer for these people.

If they were willing to quit, then no one would actively want to join in at the beginning. If they were unwilling to follow Bering's command, then they should stay away when they saw this strange guy.

But now, instead of moving away, they stayed closely around Bai Ling, forming a perfect group.

This can represent their current wishes better than any words.

Looking at Lin Ju, Bai Ling couldn't help laughing out loud.

He found that he seemed to be worrying too much.

"Yes," he said gently, "you are all like this, and not just you, but also myself."

Now that you've chosen this path, you might as well make a bigger fuss.

If time will break and disappear one day, then he should try his best to do what he wants to do in this remaining period of time.

That is, to pull "time", the thing that has been tainted with his mark, back from the crooked track!

"That's right."

As if she remembered something, Ling looked at Bai Ling, her tone seeming a little hesitant.

However, thanks to her identity, she is probably the person least afraid to ask Bai Ling questions here.

Even in the past, when she was an artificial intelligence, she was the talkative one.

After looking around at the people around her, Ling asked slowly, "There is another person..."

Bai Ling knew who she was talking about.

Among all the people present, only the second person Bai Ling went to find is not with him now.

Patting Ling's head, Bai Ling said calmly, "Don't worry."

"He will be here soon."

But not with them.

Ding Yan, the future top extraordinary person, known as the "Red Lotus Walker", is currently still dealing with the Nine-Headed Divine Sect as "Red Lotus".

And soon, the Nine-Headed Cult will follow Hermes to the Abyss!

This sounds a little unbelievable. After all, as a domestic organization, how could the Nine-Headed Divine Cult be related to the foreign old monster that has been sealed on the peninsula for hundreds of years?

But in fact, the relationship between the two sides is not unfamiliar.

First of all, on the former Yanxia Mountain, there was an organization that planned to subvert everything.

The name of that organization is "Humanity Watch" and it is currently being wanted by every country. The people in it are like rats crossing the street and everyone is chasing them.

Then, within that human watch, there existed a fellow called "Alchemist".

That guy was a member of the Hermetic sect. He had tried to seek asylum from the Lionheart King and the Oathbreaker in the past, but was ruthlessly rejected by these two guys.

Finally, the Hermetic School is the school of alchemy founded by Hermes himself.

In other words, the shadow of Hermes exists behind the Human Watch. And on the Mist Mountain, the "Nine Heads Cult" that can work with the Human Watch to target various countries...

The relationship between the two men is undoubtedly clear at a glance.

After all, the actions of Yanxia Mountain were to completely destroy the hope of future mankind, which was almost as anti-human as placing oneself on a burning shell. However, these two organizations were able to get entangled together and happily set off firecrackers with all mankind...

Obviously they are good buddies who wear the same pants.

Therefore, Bering could come to this conclusion without much thought.

That is, the "Nine-Headed Cult" will definitely follow Hermes to the Abyss.

Even Hermes would be alone in the dangerous and unpredictable place of Tianyuan. So he must also need help, or to put it more bluntly - he needs humans as bait and key.

Only humans can approach the law of time. This is the theorem explored by the Oath Breaker and Hermes in the past.

That is to say, there must be humans on Hermes' side. And in the whole world, the only one that can be related to Hermes is the Nine-Headed God Cult.

Therefore, there is no need to consider whether Ding Yan stays or leaves.

"If Ding Yan stayed there, it would be like a needle I left in Hermes' place."

Stroking his chin, Bai Ling thought: "Hermes' ability is not time, and he cannot predict the future. Although his intelligence is also very strong, he probably knows that Ding Yan used to be my man, but now Ding Yan has been in the Nine Heads Divine Sect for so long, and with the help of Luqi, I am afraid he has secured his identity as Honglian."

In addition, Hermes' attitude towards the Nine-Headed Cult is probably just a tool that can be used at any time, and his attention is now completely focused on Bering, so the possibility of him noticing the little guy "Ding Yan" is very low.

But even though it’s low, it’s not all.

Bai Ling scratched his hair and sighed: "Forget it, I can still use my time ability now. If I really find any problems, I can bring Ding Yan back directly."

After continuous use, Bai Ling's abilities are now completely different from what they were four months ago.

Now he truly feels like a "prophet".

In addition, the pair of giant eyes that had previously shrouded the sky above the Sea of ​​Consciousness were later forced back by the ferryman, and now Bering can watch the future happily as before.

Thinking so.

The next second, Bai Ling frowned slightly.

But soon, his frowning brows relaxed.

“It’s really lively.”

Under everyone's puzzled gaze, Bai Ling said to himself: "It seems that our friends are not willing to be excluded from this grand plan."

He clapped his hands and looked at the others with a friendly expression: "Since there is nothing else to do, everyone should go back and have a rest. I estimate that we will be able to set off in just two days."

"Thank you all for your help. I believe that this time, we can completely cut off the root of the distortion that is hanging over humanity!" - A few days later.

On this day, Bai Ling stood outside the base early, which was rare.

Soon, he saw the "friends" who had arrived today.

"I didn't expect you guys to be so well-informed," Bai Ling smiled, "I have to say, seeing you now really surprises me."

And the other side.

Someone sneered: "You are surprised by this? Then we are really lucky. It can be written on the tombstone."

As he spoke, the man extended his hand. "It's rare that you didn't inform us of such a big thing. This makes us very sad, 'ally'."

Listening to the man's words, Bai Ling smiled and stretched out his hand.

"I thought the Countermeasures Bureau would be very busy," he shook the man's hand, "but I have to say, seeing you now makes me feel a little relieved."

That person, Qi Guang, withdrew his hand: "Heh, why do I find that you are getting better at talking recently."

As he spoke, he patted the two people beside him and said, "How is it? The director and deputy director of the Countermeasures Bureau and a minister came specially to help. Isn't it a great honor?"

Wang Wei, who was standing next to him, raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

Xun Mo, who was being embraced by Qi Guang, was horrified: "Wait, you don't want me to go to that hellhole with you, do you?! Qi Guang, I'm telling you, I'm on paid leave now, let alone a messy hellhole, even if you ask me to go to work, I won't do it!"

As he spoke, Xun Mo began to struggle to break free from Qi Guang's restraints.

However, before he could do that, Wang Weizheng had already reached out and easily grabbed Xun Mo's head.

While grabbing Xun Mo's head, Wang Weizheng nodded slightly at Bai Ling.

"I've heard about your goal this time," he said. "Although we can't go with you due to the special circumstances, at least before we go, I will try my best to keep an eye on those people and prevent them from causing trouble."

Yes.

Although Wang Weizheng and the others had come, it was impossible for them to go to Tianyuan with Bai Ling and the others.

The reason is that if even Wang Weizheng, the top fighter in the Countermeasures Bureau, leaves, then no one will be able to suppress the alien species in the country in a short period of time.

Therefore, Wang Weizhen and his men came here just as a gesture, or to be more precise, to "protect" Bai Ling.

Qi Guang let go of his hand, his face serious: "I have a general understanding of the situation."

"Hermes, the monster trapped on the peninsula, is going to a strange place with you, right?" Qi Guang looked at Bai Ling. "It's not easy for me to analyze and comment on this kind of thing, but I believe you won't make an unprepared decision."

He patted Bai Ling on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about us. Just go ahead and do whatever you want. Even if you fail, the situation can't be worse than it is now. The worst case scenario is that everyone is finished. To be honest, I have already made several similar plans. So just go ahead and do it."

"If you can really cut off the root of the alien species, then I will definitely erect a large bronze statue of you in the Countermeasures Bureau, and let him step on all of us."

Pressing Bai Ling's shoulder solemnly, Qi Guang said word by word: "After all, if you really achieve this feat, you will be the savior of all of us!"

Hearing this, Bai Ling smiled.

He didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly at the three people.

soon.

In Bering's movements.

A voice came out from the shadows next to him: "Looks like I'm on time?"

The voice was as old as wrinkled tree bark. “Ahaha, I didn’t expect that besides the prophet, there would be three more friends coming to see us off. I am really flattered. Please allow me to express my gratitude to you all.”

A hunched figure slowly stepped out from the shadows: "Thank you all for your attention to me, and thank you all for your concern for my career. 'Kunlun' is still the same as always."

Listen to this sound.

Several people turned their heads and stared at the person in the shadow.

The man looked just like his tone, so old that one wondered if he would faint and pass out on the ground in the next second.

However, it was such an old man who, after enduring the attention from several powerful people, still smiled calmly.

Pressing the hat on his head, Hermes whispered to Bering, "It's been a month."

"It is time to fulfill the promise," he said, "Prophet."
