Standing next to Li Jingwen, Bai Ling asked.

Li Jingwen said nothing, but just nodded silently.

After fiddling with something, she finally spoke: "Although I didn't notice it before, after you pointed it out to me, Prophet, I do feel that place is a bit strange."

As she spoke, she pointed to a place in the distance: "So, that is the 'barrier'?"

In response to Li Jingwen's question, Bai Ling smiled and nodded.

“A fictional space created in a way that humans cannot understand can be used to cover up one’s tracks or create miracles. This is the power of the ‘barrier’ that Hela possesses.”

Bai Ling looked into the distance and said, "This is also the capital for her to survive in the abyss. But this is also normal - after all, in mythology, Hela is the goddess in charge of one of the nine realms. And the underworld is considered secret even among the nine realms, so the power of the 'barrier' was distorted and manifested here, and landed together with the god it enshrines."

Goddess of death, Hela.

This is an alien species that is not even described in the notebook.

This is normal. After all, the diary is just the future seen by the previous "Beling", and the path he has walked is not even as far as the current Bering.

But even so, there are still some clues about Hela in the notebook.

First of all, she is one of the giants of the Abyss, that is, Tartarus.

Secondly, her relationship with the witch is very bad.

The reason is probably that the witch is the gatekeeper of Tartarus and does not allow anyone to leave the abyss, while Hela wants to leave this desolate place, and the two have been fighting for hundreds of years.

In short, the battle with Hela is inevitable.

Even if Bering relied on his short-term foresight to avoid the opponent's attack, in the long run, Hela might not necessarily play tricks on Bering and the others.

Plus, this is Tartarus, the place where one once tried to reach the origin but

Inside the body of the failed alien, Bering's ability to predict the future would be greatly limited, so there was no way to observe everything perfectly.

Therefore, instead of passively engaging in a battle with Hela, it would be better to eliminate Hela directly at this time, quick and easy!

The first step that Bailing needs to do is to break the "barrier" set up by Hela!

This requires Li Jingwen.

Or to be more precise, what was needed was Xun Mo's sniper rifle that Li Jingwen carried with her.

With that gun, I can easily remove the barrier set by Hela! 'Actually, if I were to do it myself, I could also use that sniper rifle to break Hela's glass cover.'

Stroking his chin, Bai Ling glanced at Li Jingwen and said, "But since other people can do it, I shouldn't deprive them of the opportunity to train themselves. After all, these are all seedlings that need to grow."

With their current level, there is no way they can reach Tianyuan.

In any case, Bering needs to put together a team that can compete with Hermes in a short period of time, time waits for no one.

Li Jingwen didn't know what Bai Ling was thinking.

In fact, she didn't have time to think about anything else right now.

Although Bailing had just told her where Hela's army was, it was only an approximate location, without any detailed or accurate landmarks.

So if she really wants to shoot, she still needs to consider it on her own.

'Wind direction, location, distance...'

Recalling the method Xun Mo had taught her before, Li Jingwen raised her thumb and put it in front of her: "Although it is more difficult to be a sniper without people, the skills that Mr. Xun taught me can make up for these shortcomings to a certain extent."

"What I need now is to concentrate, absolutely concentrate. There is only one chance. If I am not careful, this ambush will probably fail..."

Looking at Li Jingwen who was muttering to herself, Bai Ling nodded with relief.

This is what she needs most right now.

For a long-range firepower operator, nothing is more important than actual combat and experience.

If Bering taught her about the future now, she would at best be like a student who memorized the book by heart, knowing the results but not the reasons. For anyone, "experience" is not a substitute for knowing the future.

This kind of subjective feeling ultimately requires the person himself to have similar experiences in order to grow.

'At present, time is limited, so I can only make use of all the opportunities that can be used. But fortunately, as a prophet, I have the ability to correct mistakes in time. As long as they don't deviate too far, I can pull them back.'

If Bai Ling could see the future, then it would not be a far-fetched idea to strengthen his companions to the point where they could stand on their own in a short period of time.

If you work hard, there's plenty of time.

But even though that’s what I said…

'In the future, Li Jingwen's first shot will still be off...'

The future seen in the sea of ​​consciousness clearly stated that Li Jingwen's shot ultimately missed.

Bai Ling couldn't help but sigh: "That's right, after all, Li Jingwen has had too little experience so far. Even with Xun Mo's special guidance, she has only really joined one or two battlefields."

There still needs to be a backup plan.

Glancing at the muddy ground in the distance, Bai Ling gently tugged at his scarf.

"…They should be ready now, right?"

Just like I said before.

"Experience" and "learning" are what everyone under Bering needs.

Therefore, how could it be possible that only Li Jingwen could have a similar experience? —— Right below Li Jingwen and Bai Ling.

Lin Ju and Song Qingci leaned against a huge rock, staring into the distance intently.

However, no matter how they looked, in the end they could only see an empty swamp and a mandragora swaying slowly above the swamp.

Anyone who stays in this place will think that there is nothing beyond him.

But Song Qingci and Lin Ju didn't think so.

To ask why...

Of course, it’s because they already know the “answer”.

"How long?"

In the midst of silence, Lin Ju finally spoke quietly.

Song Qingci lowered his head and glanced at his cell phone.

"Thirty-seven... about forty-three minutes left."

In the abyss, human electronic creations have lost their effectiveness, but things like countdowns and stopwatches can still be used.

Listening to Song Qingci's words, Lin Ju nodded slightly.

She reached out and tightly grasped the row of test tubes in her pocket.

After coming to the abyss from the surface, she was already prepared to use these potions on time.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Ju whispered, "Do you remember what we need to do?"

Song Qingci nodded slowly: "I remember."

"We need to get up after Li Jingwen's first shot fails and directly break the enemy's formation. At the same time, we need to create opportunities for the Witch and Red Spider in the back - they plan to capture Hela alive, so they need time to prepare."

After hearing Song Qingci's plan, Lin Ju nodded slightly.

Seeing that Lin Ju seemed satisfied, Song Qingci couldn't help but smile.

As Ming Zhou's second-in-command after the Prophet, Lin Ju has little presence on weekdays, but he is always able to make others feel at ease at critical moments.

Just like now.

Song Qingci subconsciously grasped the two knives in his hands.

One was given to him by the prophet, and it was a fang from the Yamata no Orochi, and the other was the beloved sword of Wang Weizheng, the director of the Countermeasures Bureau.

"This is the first time I've faced an enemy force that could be over a hundred."

In the silence, Song Qingci said softly: "And once I think that the other party might be a monster living deep in this abyss, never seeing the sun, and with a brutal temperament, my mood surges even more."

The long sword in her hand flashed a sharp edge, just like Song Qingci's current eyes: "To be honest, since the prophet came back, I feel that many things are extremely chaotic. For example, it is difficult for me to understand where we are going and what we need to do."

"But only at this moment did I realize that I am still valuable after all, and my existence is not a meaningless burden. At least, I can still swing a knife."

Looking at Song Qingci who was showing his talent unknowingly, Lin Ju thought for a moment.

She stretched out her hand and gently pressed it on Song Qingci's head.

"That so-called witch must have made you feel very upset," Lin Ju's voice was unusually gentle, "After all, anyone would feel bad if they heard that they might have the same origin as a monster."

Listening to Lin Ju's voice, Song Qingci did not speak.

This is also the reason why she has been confused until now.

Bai Ling has told Song Qingci everything, including that she is likely the reincarnation of the human part of the former "witch" that was stripped away by Hermes.

To be honest, because these things are so unreal, Song Qingci still feels like he is in a dream.

But now, she felt a little more down-to-earth.

Swing the knife.

If you don't understand anything, just immerse yourself in the battle.

She was a good person, so it was hard for her to accept that her half was a monster that killed humans. However, because of the prophet's instructions, she had to put these thoughts in the deepest part of her soul.

Lin Ju rubbed Song Qingci's head and said, "If there is anything, let's talk about it when it's over."

While comforting Song Qingci, Lin Ju raised his head and looked up: "And like you, I also have a lot of things...I want to ask him."

But the most urgent task is to complete the prophet's plan.

After taking a deep breath, Song Qingci leaned back against the stone again.

"I see." Her voice was a little muffled.

Lin Ju just smiled barely perceptibly.

Time passes slowly, minute by minute.

soon.

One second before the hands turn to the time set by the prophet.

In an instant, Song Qingci heard something high above him as if it had cut through the air above his head, and it was shooting out into the distance with a spiral of energy!

Here we come!

Song Qingci knew that this was the clarion call for the charge.

Once it sounded, it meant they needed to start taking action! Without any hesitation, the two people jumped out from behind the stone and immediately used all the means to bless themselves.

And...they tapped their feet on the ground and flew out suddenly! Just as they flew out.

Soon, the open space in front of him was like a mirror, with some flying debris.

The sharp bullet hit the mirror in front of him, piercing it directly and shooting into the soil in the distance.

And within a few seconds of the bullet penetrating.

With a "crash" sound.

The huge barrier completely dissipated in an instant! Countless transparent debris fell from the sky, and the true face that was once hidden behind the barrier finally appeared in front of Lin Ju and Song Qingci! "So many?!"

Looking at the enemy in front of him, Song Qingci couldn't help but exclaim.

No wonder she reacted like that.

Because there were so many of them! The white bones were connected together, forming a long line. The endless white made people suspect that the bones were connected to the ground and spread out in a spooky manner! It was conservatively estimated that there were tens of thousands of skeletons, mechanically moving towards them.

Just looking at it, one feels like being in the underworld, with death everywhere! Looking at the monster in front of him, Lin Ju said nothing, but just silently stretched out his hand.

On her arms hidden under her long sleeves, countless black meridians slowly emerged, wrapping her hands like a piece of scaly armor, and her nails were as sharp as daggers.

She just raised her hand, facing the army of bones in the distance, and slowly put her five fingers together.

soon.

As her fingers got closer, something unusual suddenly appeared among the army of bones in the distance.

The front bone seemed to be disturbed by something, just like a drunk person, and the originally mechanical steps began to shake.

This movement directly involved the bones nearby.

Then soon, the bones that were affected began to shake as well.

Not long after, a small part of the well-organized army collapsed silently.

"Um?"

Sitting in the huge sedan chair made of bones, Hela seemed to have discovered something.

She looked at her army's footsteps from afar and couldn't help frowning.

"What's going on?"

Hela glanced down at her hands.

"Why do I feel like I've lost part of my...perception?"

It was as if someone, relying on authority similar to his own, had forcibly broken the strings of the puppets in his hands and was controlling them himself...

In addition to this, there seemed to be a problem with the barrier.

"What on earth happened..."

Faintly, Hela felt a little uneasy.

It was as if a pair of hands quietly appeared behind him, with five fingers spread out and pointing directly at his neck.

She even felt that if she moved, those hands would mercilessly wrap around her neck and shrink little by little...

Until he completely died.
