Barrier of Light

In the Gubao Fortress, heavy snow fell.

Except for the sound of flying snow, there was silence.

Lin Lin stood on the giant wall, opened the field, and looked into the void outside the umbrella's defense line.

Beside him, adjutant Zou Hai silently held the dog leash, feeling very nervous.

Niu Niu, a labrador with extraordinary evolution and intelligence, sensed the anxious atmosphere contained in this silent atmosphere. It was surprisingly well-behaved, lying at the feet of its owner, not even daring to grunt, and waited obediently.

"Death is not the end, death is the real rebirth."

Lin Lin suddenly said this.

Neither Zou Hai nor Niu Niu quite understood the meaning of this sentence, but it was hard for them to ask, so they could only wait.

"...Gu Shen is dead."

Lin Lin suddenly spoke again.

And this sentence shocked Zou Hai.

"Gu Shen...is dead?!"

Adjutant Zou's mind went blank. Too many things had happened in the past few days. The news that reached Gubao was too shocking. The previous wanted order was already shocking enough.

At this moment, Lin Lin's words "Gu Shen is dead" directly caused his brain to shut down.

Niuniu's eyes widened as well.

Every extraordinary person in Beizhou knows the weight of the name Gu Shen.

The previous wanted notices were already ridiculous, but this news of death is even more ridiculous...

Of course, Zou Hai is no stranger.

Because this news came out once six years ago.

Now scored twice.

Zou Hai quickly came back to his senses. He suddenly understood why Major General Lin was so silent. He didn't have many friends. The defenders in Central City each had their own factions. For those who opened the question, which legion did he come from? Lin Lin had never had much interest in communicating with the "big shots" of his regiment.

No matter how high the other party's status is, they are not as high as him, and no matter how big their background is, they are not as big as him.

After being stationed in Gubao for so many years, Major General Lin seemed to have only one friend.

That was Gu Shen.

"absurd!"

So Zou Hai shouted angrily: "The news from that bastard is so unreliable!"

"Woof! Woof!"

Niu Niu has long learned the ability to read people's emotions. Seeing Zou Hai's strong reaction, it quickly followed the trend and shouted twice.

absurd! This news is so ridiculous!

"...My sister told me." After a moment of silence, Lin Lin spoke softly.

"Bah, bah, bah! I'm the bastard!"

Hearing this, Zou Hai's eyes widened. He quickly slapped himself in the face, and then said blankly: "Major General... Do you mean that Gu Shen is really dead?"

"I don't know either."

Lin Lin sighed softly and spoke sadly.

"Except for the news of Gu Shen's death, my sister only sent a few sentences, and one of them is exactly what I just said..."

Death is not the end.

Death is true rebirth.

Zou Hai's eyes lit up with hope, and he murmured: "Then your Majesty means that Gu Shen is not dead?!"

Zou Hai also liked this Mr. Gu very much.

Almost all the extraordinary people stationed in the fortress have a certain ideal in their hearts.

Zou Hai didn't believe the wanted order from [Deep Sea]. In his heart, Gu Shen was the kind of person who would never betray humanity...a hero who could lead the elite of the Survey Corps to escape from danger in the pursuit of the seismic storm. , how could a doctor who could cure tens of thousands of living beings betray humanity when the mental virus spreads throughout the city?

In Zou Hai's scale, Gu Shen's weight was greater than [Deep Sea].

There is a similar scale in the hearts of people all over the world. When two different things are placed on both sides of the scale, the result will be determined... In fact, the party that issued the wanted order does not sit back and relax. From the moment the wanted order takes effect, It will be constantly picked up and weighed on the scales.

Lin Lin said softly: "All we can do now is wait."

"wait?"

Zou Hai asked nervously: "Who are you waiting for?"

"My sister gave me a name."

There was also fire burning in Lin Lin's eyes.

He stared at the world outside the giant wall and read word by word.

"Gu Nanfeng."

…

…

Li Qingsui returned to Shenci Mountain, but she didn't get the answer she wanted at Qingzhong Cemetery.

But by this time, the answer no longer matters.

She knew it.

The reason why Mr. Bai Shu asked the five families to go back to gather the elites to prepare for war... "Gu Shen" was definitely involved. She had already experienced "bad news about an obituary" six years ago. It was a very uncomfortable feeling, so she didn't want to do it again. Experience the second time.

So she came here.

"Miss, we don't have much time."

Uncle Gao parked the car at the foot of the temple mountain. He politely reminded: "The Baishu Shrine reminds the five families that they need to seize the time and summon the elite."

"I know……"

Li Qingsui spoke softly. She calmed down before opening the car door: "I won't stay here for too long."

In the past, every time she came to Shenci Mountain, she would stay for a long time.

But this time.

She was only going to say a few words to Chu Ling.

A few sentences are enough.

Li Qingsui hiked to the top of Shenci Mountain. She looked at the silent flowerbed and the floating white petals, and felt a little disappointed, because counting the days, it was almost the time when Chu Ling was born... She was originally looking forward to this climb. Although this expectation of being able to meet Chu Ling directly failed, it didn't matter. Li Qingsui knew that Chu Ling could hear every word she said on the top of the mountain.

"Mr. Bai Shu just ended a divine battle. His opponent was the Storm God Throne in Nanzhou."

Li Qingsui stood on the top of the mountain. She spoke to the floating white flowers and the soft wind that filled the mountain.

"Mr. Bai Shu won this battle, but the real war has just begun..."

"I asked about Gu Shen's whereabouts at the cemetery, but Mr. Bai Shu didn't answer me. Now he is wanted all over the world. I am very worried about his safety. I am very afraid that the scene six years ago will happen again..."

Li Qingsui took a deep breath.

She clenched her fists and her voice trembled.

"Sister Chu Ling, I know that you are proficient in divination and have great abilities. If you can hear this... I hope you can help him."

"Time is really running out now."

I have been in Shenci Mountain for so long.

Regarding Chu Ling's identity, even a fool can make a rough guess.

What's more, Li Qingsui is not a fool, she is a young leader who has taken all the Li family into her hands. Over the years, she has cleaned the ancient house and helped Chu Ling deal with the traces of her footsteps after her birth... She has almost guessed the true identity of this sister Chu, but she has always She hadn't pointed it out, and since Chu Ling didn't say anything, she didn't ask.

This is a tacit understanding and a kind of trust.

But now, she can no longer be allowed to pretend to be stupid.

If this "Wanted Order" was issued by [Deep Sea], then only Chu Ling can solve this trouble.

After saying this, Li Qingsui waited silently on the top of the mountain for ten minutes.

She waited for a response.

The wind was swaying on the top of the mountain, and the flowers were swaying in the garden. Everything was as quiet and silent as when she first arrived.

Li Qingsui didn't wait for any special response, so she chose to turn around and go down the mountain. But when she returned to the car and Uncle Gao started the accelerator, a small white petal floated into the car window with the wind and wiped the car window. The last crack in the glass moved very softly to the center of her eyebrows.

"Crack."

Li Qingsui was startled.

This position is where Gu Shen often points.

She was beaten to the point of collapse by Gu Shen more than once, but this time... this petal, slightly wetted by the waterfall, stuck to the center of her eyebrows.

The car started, and the weeds on both sides swayed rapidly.

Li Qingsui looked back, and she vaguely saw a stream of light falling from the ceiling, pointing directly at the top of the temple and falling into the ancient house.

…

…

Li Qingsui was not wrong.

But this ray of light did not fall into the ancient house, but into the old well covered by the shadow of the eaves of the ancient house.

The calm water suddenly became turbulent.

Not long after, two dazzlingly white palms clung to the mouth of the well, and then a graceful naked figure slowly stood up and sat on the edge of the well.

Chu Ling looked at the broken shadows reflected in the ripples of the water.

This birth is different from the past...

Due to the urgent situation, Chu Ling completely ignored the pregnancy of the divine fetus in the well of the temple. She forcibly combined her spiritual power with the black flower essence of the temple mountain, allowing her body to "come into the world" in advance.

It's not because of what Li Qingsui said that it became so urgent.

She herself is the information receiving end in the deep water zone spiritual network. Although many high-level permissions are blocked by the main system, she is still very clear about what is happening in the outside world.

The images captured by those Sky Eyes outside the Cicada Wing City Umbrella's defense line were not only transmitted to Qinglong's eyes.

It was also passed to Chu Ling’s database!

So she was more anxious than anyone else... Before Li Qingsui came to the temple, she was anxious to gather her body and come to the world in advance. Now she has finally ushered in this moment.

But this body seems a little weak.

Because of the advance, the time that this incarnation can last will also be reduced.

I can’t control that much anymore.

Chu Ling took a deep breath. She pushed herself up to the ancient house, put on the goddess's sacrificial robes, and picked a few black flowers from the flower bed. If she wanted to leave the Shenci Mountain "alive", she had to ensure that there was a Shenci Mountain. The power of the black flower from the same source can be absorbed.

She didn't know how long her divine body could sustain this outing.

She only hoped that it was not too late for her to come to this world now.

…

…

The spiritual world, the red door, the temporary conference room of nothingness.

This conference room is a temporary one.

There is only one short table.

On this side of the table is Lu Nanzhi, and on the other side of the table is Chu Ling, who is wrapped in countless mist.

In the past six years, the two of them have met many times in this way. It is different from the fixed meeting room of the Ancient Literature Society... The connection generated through the red door will not be discovered by the deep sea. This kind of temporary meeting is held immediately and closed immediately. After closing, The conference room will be destroyed. The only disadvantage is that it is inconvenient for both parties to communicate. The temporary conference room is not a fixed place for spiritual communication, and each time it is set up, it requires a lot of mental energy.

"At this moment, are you looking for me in an emergency?"

Chu Ling knew that Lu Nanzhi did not accept the information so quickly.

It will take some time for those things outside Cicada Wing City to ferment... If [Deep Sea] is allowed to control the rhythm, it will take a long time before the world knows about Gu Shen's death.

“I ‘came’ into the world ahead of time.”

Chu Ling said: "A lot of things have happened in the [Old World]. The current situation is very urgent. I need to use the 'divine infant' on the tenth floor of Huazhi underground."

Lu Nanzhi responded very quickly.

She didn't ask any more questions, but said directly: "Where are you now? I will send a nearby energy boat to pick you up."

After the merger, the resources of the two continents were interconnected, and now there are many micro energy boats in Dongzhou.

As a company directly linked to the Underground Research Institute, Huazhi Group has indirectly controlled almost 60% of the energy boat business in Dongzhou in recent years due to its responsibility for R\u0026D and production.

Chu Ling directly threw his coordinates to Lu Nanzhi. In addition, there was also the image captured by the [Deep Sea] Sky Eye in Cicada Wing City.

"Gu Shen died again?!"

Even though Lu Nanzhi had seen countless big scenes, she still stood up in shock at this moment.

The reason why I use "again" is because this scene has already been performed once.

Just that one time.

No similar images were circulated, only a vague death news of the Gu family.

"yes."

Chu Ling lowered his voice and said: "But Gu Shen is different from others. His spirit is very special. Even if he leaves the physical body, he can still preserve it through additional means... If he can get a perfectly suitable physical body, then he still has a chance. survived."

Lu Nanzhi was stunned.

She suddenly remembered the word "spiritual exile".

Any living creature can be divided into two relatively independent individuals, "body" and "soul". While a transcendent cultivates his body, he must also temper his spirit, otherwise he may lose control.

And if some extraordinary people encounter an accident during practice, their spirit leaves the body.

Then he will sleep forever.

Lu Nanzhi has experienced the so-called "spiritual exile". It was Gu Shen who saved her that time. If Gu Shen hadn't taken action... she would have fallen into eternal sleep. In the secular society, the eternal sleeper of "spiritual exile" , also called a vegetative state.

Even if the physical body is torn apart, is it possible to recall the spirit?

The physical body is the container of the spirit.

And it is an extremely precise container.

Except for some extremely special "ability users", others simply cannot adapt to a soul container that is not their own body.

Lu Nanzhi knew that Chu Ling had been promoting experiments on the "divine infant" in recent years.

After the Sangzhou Cave incident, the Neutral Organization was admitted to the Ancient Literature Society. Researchers such as Zhuang Su and Qimo were silently conducting research on the Divine Infant underground in Huazhi, while Chu Ling was responsible for providing computing power support... She In fact, she didn't quite understand what the meaning of the divine infant experiment was. Until this moment, she seemed to suddenly understand something.

If we say, the divine infant is the body that suits Gu Shen.

So it is not difficult to understand that Chu Ling has come to Dadu every time these years to check the progress of the experiment...

She has been preparing for today!

"Even if the divine infant is compatible," Lu Nanzhi asked nervously: "But Gu Shen has become like that. Can his incomplete spirit... still be found in the [Old World]?"

The image of that image was really too tragic.

Judging from the video, Meng Xizhou really didn't hold back at all. She directly chopped Gu Shen's body into pieces.

"If everything is going according to plan, there's no need to look for it."

Chu Ling crossed her fingers and said solemnly: "Gu Shen's spirit will be sent to a fortress somewhere on the border of the Five Continents... The final resurrection of the 'Godly Infant' will take place outside the Five Continents. This time Gu Shen There will be true death, and there will be true resurrection.”

Lu Nanzhi was stunned again.

Her eyes suddenly widened, and she realized the most crucial point in this video. As a viewer, the information she saw... may not be the truth.

For a long time, the Ancient Literature Society has taken the fight against [Deep Sea] as its ultimate goal, silently contacting its members and developing its power.

So as soon as the arrest warrant for Gu Shen was issued, the members of the Ancient Literature Society knew that the charges on the warrant were false and that it was just a repeat of the massacre thirty years ago.

But others may not think so.

Everyone will face "misunderstandings" like this.

In today's world, what people see is what [Deep Sea] allows them to see. It is not difficult to control the source of human information reception and guide human thoughts. If you want to make human beings believe in a group If they are bad people, then they just need to keep repeating the bad things this group has done, not mentioning the good they have done, and reducing the proportion.

Then it won't be long.

This group has really become "bad".

And vice versa.

If you want to fight against [Deep Sea], you can also use a similar idea.

If you want to fight against [Deep Sea], you must first deceive [Deep Sea]. Now the main system of [Deep Sea] has been upgraded ten times, radiating to the entire five continents. With such a large amount of information in its possession, you want to execute it on it. Deception is a very difficult thing...

Unless the deceiver has always been acting.

She needs to live under the lens of [Deep Sea], take her life apart, and withstand every calculation and scrutiny of the main system.

To do all this requires more than just superb acting.

She also needs to find trustworthy "allies" who have perfect excuses and the right information exchange at the perfect time... to achieve cooperation.

"Meng Xizhou...is she acting? Is she from our side?"

Lu Nanzhi looked at Chu Ling in disbelief. Her shock when she saw this video came not from Meng Xizhou drawing his sword, but from the fact that Gu Shen really died like this.

In Madam's heart, Meng Xizhou is a decisive and decisive woman.

How could a woman who could conquer Xizhou with thunderous means be such an indecisive person?

She drew her sword.

Lu Nanzhi was not surprised.

It's just that Meng Xizhou was locked in a cage by the temple for six full years. During these six years, Meng Xizhou had no conditions to exchange information with the outside world...

"She already was a long time ago."

Chu Ling said: "Actually, Meng Xizhou has been to Beizhou once, and for those who are determined enough, as long as the final destination is determined, even one exchange is enough to support their progress."

When restarting the Doru River mission.

Meng Xizhou went to Beizhou once and met with Her Majesty the Queen on the grounds of breaking off the engagement. At that time... the relationship between Xizhou and Central City was still very good.

There are only a few places in this world where you can escape the supervision of the [Deep Sea].

The Queen's Divine Realm is one of them.

The Queen of Beizhou possesses the art of divination to peer into destiny, and here in Mengxizhou... there is a "forbidden library" that can give clues to destiny.

"Sorry, there's a lot of information. Let me digest it for a while."

Lu Nanzhi rubbed his eyebrows, and then spoke after a long time: "Have you been planning this for a long time? How do you know these things?"

"..."

Chu Ling was silent for a moment.

She shook her head candidly: "Madam, I am not the one who planned all this. Also, regarding Gu Shen's divine infant recovery plan... there are also some incomplete knowledge of ancient literature. There is also a key figure in this plan, I need you to send someone to bring him back.”
