Barrier of Light

"The flame-extinguishing sword... has been pulled out!"

Waves of light, fire and air wash over the bronze hall.

Turing tried his best to open his eyes, and he looked into the depths of the extremely brilliant flames in a daze.

A blurry golden figure floated behind Gu Shen.

"Chu Ling."

Turing was stunned. The existence of that golden figure meant that all the "theories" mentioned by Gu Shen were true.

Just as he was muttering subconsciously, the figure seemed to be looking back in the direction where he was.

The dust and smoke dispersed.

Gu Shen held the flame-extinguishing sword and stood silently in the center of the bronze hall.

He weighed it.

The Flameless Sword...has no weight.

This sword only has an extremely thin "sword shape".

Because this is an illusory sword that only exists in the "concept". If it were not for the spiritual world, Gu Shen would not be able to "pull it out" so easily.

"Chu Ling...where did he go?"

Turing stood up anxiously. After the dust dispersed, the throne in the bronze hall was still there, but the golden figure suspended behind Gu Shen dispersed with the dust.

"I am here."

A light voice sounded inside the initial number.

At this moment, the corridor lights inside the Initial were lit up in rows, as if an invisible breeze was passing by. This breeze connected every corner of the Initial system, and finally responded to Turing's problem in the form of system AI.

Afu: "???"

As the steward of the initial number, it didn't feel anything strange!

As an AI created by the Lord of Molten Iron, it has been with the Initial Number day and night over the years, and it has regarded this place as its "physical body".

Now there is another AI in the initial account...

Logically speaking, this kind of thing should at least be approved by it first!

"What the hell?"

Afu said angrily: "What are you, where are you?!"

"If you are asking for my specific location..."

Chu Ling's voice was silent for a few seconds.

"Then I'm everywhere."

The two red figures that had been standing respectfully next to the bronze hall had their eyes glowing red at this moment. They bent their bodies and made a slightly stiff salute. It was obvious that Chu Ling was adapting to the "objects" here, but She adapted very quickly, and Hongying's posture when getting up was already very smooth.

In just a few seconds, she got used to it.

"I'm sorry." Chu Ling said sincerely: "I currently do not have a body that can accommodate my spirit. I can only inhabit the spiritual network. Currently I can only temporarily reside in the main system of the initial number... We apologize for any inconvenience caused to you. "

"..."

Afu didn't know what to say for a moment.

It looked at Turing, a little angry, but more aggrieved: "Look at the good thing you did!"

Turing saw the red shadow bowing to him. He sat down again, breathed a big sigh of relief, and his posture became relaxed.

"The flame-quenching sword has been pulled out. You should be happy."

Afu was startled.

Only then did it realize that the most critical thing... was that Gu Shen pulled out the flame-extinguishing sword.

At this moment, it has an illusion of being dreamy and unreal.

After waiting for a thousand years, it is so easy to draw the sword?

It's like a dream.

"I know what you are thinking, but...if what Gu Shen said is true, then whether it is the flame-extinguishing sword or the existence of you and me, everything, including this whole world, is... False, in theory, your current happiness is just a dream."

Turing drank tea leisurely and poured cold water on it leisurely, as if talking about a trivial matter.

"Wait a minute, why are you so calm, as if the matter is none of your business?"

Afu never saw through this man, and it couldn't help but muttered: "I can't even be sure whether I really exist... Is this a good thing?"

"Should I be sad, angry, or crazy?"

Turing was speechless.

He put down the tea cup, looked at Afu, and asked softly: "Afu... in your opinion, are the two concepts of truth and falsehood subjective or objective?"

Afu was stunned on the spot.

"'Being alive' at this moment is the most important thing."

Turing stretched out his hands and said calmly: "We exist at this moment, this is a 'fact'. So since what Gu Shen said is true... then I also want to see, break through this false world, the outside world What does it look like?”

This is something Av never thought about.

All the time.

The most daring thing it has ever thought of is to leave the ice sea and search for the "legacy" left by its master, the Lord of Molten Iron.

But now Turing's thoughts have made him think of a greater possibility.

If.

Is the world outside the same as the world here?

Is it possible that the owner is no longer "here" and has gone to the "real world" outside?

"So... Alfred."

"Set sail?"

…

…

A pillar of light rose from the ice sea.

"Every component of the initial number is normal."

"Energy reserves are sufficient."

Chu Ling's voice sounded in the initial account.

Afu finally chose to set sail, but he was still a little uncomfortable with the current situation in the cabin... Chu Ling took over the "management work" of the initial ship, and it suddenly became much more relaxed. The Lord has given Av the position of "steward". As a steward, he feels a sense of emptiness when he does not manage the airship.

"Have you seriously made a decision..."

Gu Shen sat on the top of a simulated snowfield. He looked at the man beside him: "Are you sure you want to leave the fortress with me?"

For Alan Turing in front of him, nothing would happen if he stayed in Wuzhou.

He can live well.

Maybe this time, Gu Shen will still fail... but only the world in which Gu Shen "exists" will be restarted.

According to theory, the Turing in front of him still has his own "world" in which to survive.

But once you leave the fortress...

What Turing has to face is the "original will" of this world.

"Gu Shen..."

Turing folded his glasses.

He narrowed his eyes, looked at the vast and boundless snowfield in the distance, and suddenly asked a question with a smile.

"Do you think they can guess that the 'snowfield' they have lived in all their lives is actually just an artificially created false environment?"

There is a large snowfield on the initial ship.

In order to restore the ecological environment of the real snowfield, the plants and animals in this snowfield are all real. They have thrived here since the era of starship civilization. In the distance where Turing could see, he could vaguely see white bears curled up. In the cave... In addition, there are reindeer, hares, and snow wolves.

Thousands of years have passed, and they have lived well here.

The initial number will provide nutrients, control the weather, and create "ecological balance."

Staying here, they can "live" very well.

"Perhaps...it can be guessed."

Gu Shen thought for a moment and said, "After all, so many years have passed."

"Yes. After so many years, although these groups of creatures have little wisdom, there are always exceptions... that will touch the boundary."

Turing looked behind him again.

At the end of this simulated snowfield, there are many skeletons buried under the snow... These skeletons are creatures that have touched the boundary.

In order to maintain the stability of the external environment of the airship, the ecosystem boundary defined by Afu is an air wall. If you try to cross it, you will be "executed"!

Over time, the idea that this snowfield has an "end" became deeply rooted in the minds of these creatures.

They no longer explore or chase limits.

To...live.

Turing asked again: "So, if you were them, would you try to leave here?"

Gu Shen was silent.

He understood what Mr. Turing meant.

"Death is not scary. What is scary is living without knowing why."

The snowy scene on the zenith gradually changes.

Chu Ling closed the false sky that shrouded the snowfield... The Initial Number had officially left the ice sea and sailed into the [Old World]. The sky outside gradually became darker, and the mortal creatures living on the snowfield raised their heads one by one. , they had never seen such a magnificent and spectacular scene. The Initium broke through the sea and went straight into the sky. There were bright meteors streaking across the zenith, and large groups of light and fire bloomed on the sky.

"Tsk, there are shooting stars. The world outside is so beautiful."

Turing smiled and said: "If I really had to choose a life, I would rather die outside than stay in an artificially created false ecology and spend a boring life of inaction."

Gu Shen also looked at the stream of light blooming on the zenith with a thoughtful expression.

After a few seconds, he spoke sincerely: "I have to admit that what you just said is quite philosophical, but there is one thing I need to remind you... This is not a meteor, but a seismic storm."

Turing: "?"

No one is more familiar with this ball of light than him... Gu Shen sighed and added: "And it's a super giant one."

Turing: "???"

The alarm sounded inside the initial number!

The source energy shield opened immediately!

The whole airship started to bump. Mr. Turing staggered slightly and looked a little embarrassed. He said angrily: "Zhuo, why did you come so fast? We have just left the blockade!"

"If you choose to 'break boundaries', you need to bear the price."

Gu Shen looked at Mr. Turing and said seriously: "Mr. Turing, thank you."

Turing was stunned for a second.

"Seeing that you can still maintain your original intention in this world... I feel very relieved."

Gu Shen smiled.

Boom!

A blazing flame ignited between his brows, a hole opened in the virtual snowfield sky, and the biting wind poured in, but Gu Shen was fearless. He raised his hand, and the flame-extinguishing sword in the bronze hall instantly passed through the layers. Blocked and swept into his palm, the blazing fire did not go out because of this, but burned even more vigorously.

The flame-extinguishing sword extinguishes all sources and everything extraordinary in this world...

Theoretically speaking, holding this sword is equivalent to holding absolute order.

"Next, I'll invite you to watch a show."

Gu Shen held the sword in one hand and raised the tip of the sword. The strong wind in the entire snowfield was extinguished at this moment.

The snowy sky cleared, and Gu Shen stood at the top of the Initial, looking expressionlessly at the approaching super giant storm in the distance.

A sword.

Just a sword.

That slender sword energy didn't even splash ripples in the void!

The tens of thousands of light and fire were cut in half in an instant. This extremely majestic storm of origin was like withering fireworks, and countless lights and fires were sucked into the darkness——

Turing sat on the top of the snowy field, staring blankly at countless light fires igniting and then extinguishing.

Such a terrifying source of energy storm turned extremely brilliant and withered in just a few seconds.

Turing murmured.

"Is it... off?"

Gu Shen sheathed her sword and said calmly.

"Yeah. It's off now."
