I play prophet in Salvation Organization

Chapter 274 Departure
Hermes.

The man appeared without warning, like traces erased on a drawing board reappearing through the undo button.No one noticed his presence until he made a sound.

It is worthy of being the owner of the soul law.

Bering thought so again in his heart.

The most dangerous guy he has encountered so far is without a doubt the old man in front of him who looks hunched over and looks like a harmless human and animal.

Even the ferryman, although possessing powerful strength, would probably be played like a pawn in front of Hermes.

For an illusory ideal, it has been hidden in human society for tens of thousands of years. With its extraordinary willpower and terrifying self-control, it is engraved in human history and mythology like a beacon and a mark. It is omnipresent and hidden. disappearing...

Dangerous.

In fact, not only Bering thought so, but also the other three people.

Qi Guang propped his hands on the wheelchair, and took a deep look at Hermes.

After a long time, he raised his head: "It seems that this is the 'guest' you mentioned."

Bering nodded slightly: "Yes."

"Let me introduce: the main god from ancient mythology, the god of messengers, the protector of thieves, the god of roads, and also the original symbol of the ultimate trinity of alchemy, the careerist hiding in the dark side of human history... Hermes .”

Bering said calmly: "This is my 'companion' who will travel with me next."

Hearing Bering's introduction, Hermes just smiled.

He bent down and sat on the stone next to him, and tapped the ground with his crutch: "It's over, over. I'm not as complicated as you said, nor as legendary as you said."

"In the final analysis, myths are just psychological hints that ignorant human beings forcefully generalize from spiritual concepts because they don't understand nature and science. In the final analysis, they are the reflection of the spirit on objective facts," Hermes said. "In fact, in many Years ago, I was far less famous than I am now, and Mount Olympus was just a small mountain."

"However, after thousands or tens of thousands of years of human consciousness evolution, the mapping that once existed in the human brain was recorded and compiled, and then many subjective speculations were added. The final result is a 'myth'."

Hermes spread his hands: "It's like thousands of years ago, I didn't even have a record about 'alchemy'. But in order to form a systematic set of norms, alchemists in the future forcibly attached alchemy to On me. They even built a trinity for me, and then I became what I am now."

Listening to Hermes' words, Xun Mo frowned.

"That's impossible," he said. "What you're saying is absolutely impossible."

"The birth of heterogeneous species should be doomed from the beginning, and no heterogeneous species can evolve content other than its own legend. This is like installing an environment on a computer, and it must be restarted before it can display the effect. If humans If you really add any legends to the alien species, those new things can't be highlighted on you old things."

Xun Mo changed his laziness before, and his eyes were sharp: "If it is true according to what you said, you appeared a long time ago, then it is absolutely impossible for you to be added a new 'concept' as you said. You know, even a heterogeneous species like 'Piercing Lord' has experienced two different forms. One is the real historical prototype, and the other is the 'Dracula' added by later generations."

"So what you said is completely inconsistent with the current mainstream understanding of alien species, and it also does not conform to the normal evolution process. Otherwise, there should be very few alien species in this world, far from being as many as they are now."

This is a point that Xun Mo has always been suspicious of after hearing Bai Ling's narration.

In fact, thanks to the more and more developed cultural exchanges in later generations, myths and legends in many regions have shown the trend of "hybridization".

It seems that many legends were spread to another place because of the trade between countries, and then formed new myths in contemporary times.Just like the "devil god" mentioned in the classics of the first great religion, its prototype is the gods of various regions in the primitive era.And these gods were the original worship of nature by the local people a long time ago.

If it is really according to Hermes' "patching" statement, then all the legends and myths in this world should be classified as "natural" in the final analysis.After all, primitive humans have similar ideas. Although the language is slightly different from the tradition, what they see and feel are similar.And the myths and legends born out of this also have similarities.

For example, the Great Flood recorded in myths all over the world is a description of the same disaster from different perspectives by primitive humans.

So, if what Hermes said is correct, then these disasters should all be an individual, how could it be possible to "let a hundred flowers bloom" like now?
Hearing Xun Mo's suspicion, Hermes smiled.

He pointed to himself, and said lightly, "Of course it's because... I'm special."

"As for the special place, you ordinary people can't understand it. Only the person standing at the same height as me, the only 'he' in this world, can truly understand this reason."

With that said, Hermes looked at Bering.

Others also looked at Bering.

Bearing so many realizations, Bering sighed.

"'Soul,'" he said reluctantly, "is a very complicated thing."

Perhaps Hermes was just a traditional Greek mythology a long time ago, but as the patron saint of thieves, he has a part of the power to steal.Thanks to this authority, he successfully stole part of the laws about "soul" from the abyss of heaven.

With the soul law, Hermes may have made his origin produce a law similar to human metabolism.

With the continuous construction of human consciousness, he can also acquire many abilities that did not belong to him.Things like alchemy, or the Holy Trinity, are manifestations of this condition.

However, Bering was actually a little curious.

That is, it is obvious that Hermes has the ability to bind with human consciousness and has the same ability as software updates, so why not take the initiative to create a new "Hermes" image?

For example, create some invincible images for yourself, and then use the renewal power of your soul law to make yourself stronger and stronger.

Of course, he quickly cut off this curiosity.

Because in predicting the future, Hermes gave Bering the answer.

What used to be "impossible" is now "impossible".

In the past, limited by technology, even if Hermes wanted to create an omnipotent image for himself, it could only spread in some places around him.Moreover, the world situation at that time was far worse than it is now, and Hermes was not without enemies.What's more, he relies on the method of "bending down" to human beings, and his body is very fragile. If he spreads it out with great fanfare, he will easily be approached by some people with hatred.

But now it is "impossible" because, in the era of the information explosion, Hermes seems to have no way to rely on religion to cover himself with a layer of divinity as before.

After all, people nowadays are not stupid.

How should I put it, although this reason is a bit nonsense, at least it makes sense.

Anyway, Bering originally wanted to see if Hermes had any other cards, so he was a little curious.

Thinking of this, he looked at Hermes and pursed his lips slightly.

Facing Bering's gaze, Hermes couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Although he doesn't know what Bering saw in the future prediction, he can be sure that just now, Bering probably has a deeper understanding of himself.

It is not a good thing for a prophet to understand himself better...

Thinking of this, Hermes, who originally planned to chat with these "Kunlun" juniors, stopped his conversation.

"So, Prophet," he said, rising from the stone, "should we go?"

"Or do you still have something to deal with? Of course, you can stay, but it would be a pity if you can't catch up. After all, this may be your only 'once in a lifetime' chance."

As he said that, Hermes lowered the brim of his hat, and the face under the shadow seemed to be smiling.

And Bering also withdrew his gaze.

"I was ready, there wasn't much I needed to rely on from the start."

Bering got up: "Then, let me see what kind of form the 'Heavenly Abyss' you are talking about is."

Accompanied by Bering's words fell.

Soon, the door behind his base opened.

People from "Mingri" came out of the base one by one, and they all stood behind Bering.

Thanks to the sufficient time for preparation, their current equipment is far more luxurious than when they first started.There are not only various high-tech props, but also some famous weapons.

For example, Wang Weizheng's knife is now held by Song Qingci, and it is placed together with the tooth of the Yamata no Orochi.

This is one of the few things that the Countermeasure Bureau can help Bering and the others.

Anyway, Wang Weizheng's current strength is no longer limited to so-called "weapons". Even if he doesn't have anything in his hand, he can tear apart alien species with just a pair of fists.

Besides Wang Weizheng, Xun Mo's sniper rifle was also lent to Li Jingwen.

As for Qi Guang...

He actually wanted to lend Bering his wheelchair.

But because it was really unlucky, Bering flatly rejected it.

It's impossible to let Starscream use a wheelchair to carry himself around in the abyss like in Tartarus, right?

So in the end, Qi Guang could only send out his care and thoughts...

Standing in front of everyone, Bering glanced at Hermes.

Hermes smiled.

Soon, he straightened up.

The body that was originally bent like a little old man miraculously straightened up, and even Bering, who was relatively close to him, heard the bones "cracking", as if they were breaking.

"Then let's go."

Hermes tapped the ground lightly with the crutch in his hand.

next second.

Accompanied by the crisp sound of the crutch hitting the ground, a black halo suddenly appeared from the center of the crutch, like a black spot hidden in the sun, expanding rapidly at a speed visible to the human naked eye, swallowing the entire ground in an instant.

Soon, some new changes appeared in the whole venue.

Numerous bone hands emerged from the ground, and the hands were lightly folded together, clinging to each other and swaying like flowers swaying in the wind.

These bone hands spread out in all directions, and soon surrounded the entire venue.

Seeing this scene, Bering couldn't help feeling a little nostalgic.

Three months ago, when I saw the witch for the second time, she opened the gate of Tartarus in the same way.

Now, after almost four months, I once again saw a similar scene here at Hermes...

Destiny is really amazing.

Hermes didn't know what Bering was thinking, and just kept pointing on the ground with his crutches.

Soon, the gate that once made Bai Ling tremble with fear, but now he didn't care about it, reappeared in front of everyone.

Standing in front of the black gate, Hermes leaned on crutches with both hands: "Then, I'll go in first."

"There are still people waiting for me inside, I need to go to meet them first," he said, "If you don't regret it, then come in too."

"I think you probably don't need guides and navigation. After all, one of you should be very familiar with that place."

After saying this, Hermes smiled and nodded towards Bering.

Then he stepped into the black door.

In everyone's eyes, his figure was gradually engulfed by the black door.

Seeing Hermes disappear into the world behind the door with his own eyes, Bering groaned, then turned his head and said to his companions behind him, "Then let's go in too."

If his guess is correct, then Hermes is probably looking for someone from the Nine Heads Sect now.

That old man must have known that the people from the countermeasure bureau would be guarding the gate of Bering today, so he didn't bring in the people from the Nine Heads Sect, but sent them into the abyss in advance.

And he also knows the witch very well, knowing that the witch is very familiar with the abyss and can find the way to the lower level, so he just opened the gate of Tartarus and left it to Bering and the others.

Really had everything planned.

Sighing, Bering slightly nodded towards Wang Weizheng and others beside him.

And Wang Weizheng and the others also nodded towards Bering.

Wang Weizheng patted him on the shoulder, didn't say anything, just looked at them silently.

In the gaze of these three people.

Bering and the others slowly walked into the black door.

After a lapse of one month, Bering stepped into the abyss again.

Only this time, the place he was going to was a world deeper and more treacherous than Tartarus.
