Barrier of Light

"Because of the fire, the place where you used to live has been burned down. Now you can make do with living here."

In front of the apartment in downtown Dateng.

improvise?

Gu Shenchu ​​was at the door, his attention was attracted by the fingerprint-iris dual recognition door lock, he was leaning over and squinting to try the proofreading function... He had never been so "make do" in his life so far.

For a long time, I didn't even know how to open the door lock.

"drop--"

Nan Jin glanced at the young man, swiped his card and pushed the door open with great strides.

A large flat-floor apartment close to 200 square meters, with excellent lighting, bright and clean windows, and with the action of pushing the door, layers of lights come on, a full set of smart home equipment is fully equipped, and the curtains are blown by the wind, revealing the 29th floor. sunset.

A woman in a windbreaker wearing sunglasses stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, bowed slightly, made a symbolic gesture of welcome from the waiter, and said indifferently: "Poor Mr. Gu Shen, who is homeless... come and see, the tribunal will take care of you!" A new home to buy."

"I go……"

Gu Shen was stunned by the sight in front of him, even though he had thought about it when he was in the car... the old guy Zhou Jiren must give himself some sweetness next time, but money is sugar-coated cannonballs, and he can't be too sweet. Falling too easily.

Now he knows.

I was wrong.

Poverty limits one's imagination.

Seeing Gu Shen's expression, Nan Jin smiled silently.

Those who know her well know that she is actually an iceberg woman who seldom smiles. For her, the most important thing in life should be to practice swords...Mr. Shu kept her file very well. Almost no one in the tribunal knew the origin of this woman. They only knew that she was a desperate Saburo. All tasks will go all out.

So everyone guessed that such a desperate person probably had a very lonely life experience.

When taking care of Gu Shen, Nan Jin looked at Gu Shen's files.

This boy is the real lonely person. He was fostered in an orphanage since he was a child, and lived on the meager subsidies given by the government. After he was sixteen, he left the orphanage to earn money to support himself.

The files that record Gu Shen's past seventeen years are getting thinner.

The life experience of this young man is even more distressing.

"how do you feel?"

"Feel……"

Gu Shen tried hard not to let his eyes fly here and there, and said firmly: "This place... can only be said to be pretty good. It can barely live. Although it doesn't suit my identity, it still suits my temperament."

But three seconds later, because he couldn't restrain the urge to see the whole house, he failed.

"Okay... I admit that I'm a bumpkin." Gu Shen echoed with a shameless face, "That's right... what about the landlord?"

"I've already done it for you. The problems that money can solve are not problems."

After saying these words, Nan Jin's image in Gu Shen's eyes was as tall as a giant Buddha.

He suddenly had the urge to hug his thigh...

"correct."

Gu Shen suddenly remembered one thing, his ruler of truth, and the orange cat... are still at the old building!

Just as he was about to speak, he heard a soft knock on the door from the bedroom.

"Meow..."

A light orange cat, on tiptoe, slowly came under Nan Jin, rubbed its head against the trouser leg, turned over to expose its belly, and purred intimately.

"Snoring..."

The cold woman in the windbreaker squatted down very cooperatively, and gently scratched the orange cat's chin with five snow-white fingers: "Everything in that old house was almost burned. When we arrived, the cat was still alive." Alive, he was lucky, just got burned off some of his hair."

Seeing Chu Ling appear, Gu Shen's first reaction was to be nervous...but he soon relaxed.

Seeing this inelegant demeanor, the one who is rolling and begging now should be the silly cat that I brought back. For some reason, the girl Chu Ling's consciousness has been separated from this orange cat.

"After the fire... except for this cat, there is nothing left in my house?" Gu Shen asked tentatively.

"What do you want left?" Nan Jin raised her eyebrows, "Apart from a broken table and a broken bed, what else is there in your house?"

"... also." Gu Shen scratched his head.

It seems that they didn't find the "ruler of truth"... Was it hidden by Chu Ling?

"You can take a good rest these few days." Nan Jin rubbed the orange cat twice, then stood up with her arms around the little guy, "As for your extraordinary ability, the adjudication office is still in the process of judging... there will be a review in a few days." The on-site inspection can be carried out when your body has recovered almost."

"Audit? What audit?"

"Everyone's awakened extraordinary ability is different, and the degree of danger is also different...Although starting from Mr. Turing's theory, the degree of danger of extraordinary power is related to the degree of development, but there are always some people who just opened their eyes and are a big ahead of others. Some people's awakened supernatural ability can only bend a spoon, while some...can easily burn down a whole building." Nan Jin used a simple metaphor to remind meaningfully: "Last night you Awakening, the record of killing two extraordinary people is very scary, and the Tribunal will probably give you an S-level strength rating."

"..."

Gu Shen covered his forehead, suddenly feeling a little guilty: "Frankly speaking... I may not be as powerful as you think."

"Don't despise yourself."

Nan Jin shook her head with burning eyes: "I've seen the photos on the roof, and the damage is terrifying, far surpassing most newcomers. It's been a long time since a monster like you has appeared in Qinghe District... What kind of ability is this, you can use it again Once?"

Gu Shen looked at his hands.

Without that ruler, I seem to be just an ordinary person... How can I display such terrifying extraordinary power?

Having reached this point by accident, Gu Shen suddenly felt that the troubles entangled with him seemed to be getting bigger and bigger.

Wait until the day of the review... the truth that I don't have extraordinary power, what should I do if it is exposed?

"..."

He was lost in thought.

"It seems that you haven't fully grasped this power yet... It's okay, just take your time." Nan Jin said softly, as expected: "But there is something I need to tell you. This time to fight for your ownership , the teacher and the presiding judge in the prison almost started a fight...Because the 'amnesty order' was used, many people in the court expressed dissatisfaction."

"For those dazzling and splendid things... There are always people who are jealous, resentful, and hostile; there are always people who want to dust them, make them fall, and make them crash." Nan Jin put down the cat, looked directly at Gu Shen, and moved in an extremely slow way. He spoke slowly, "The more someone tries everything possible to crush you, it means that you have unlimited potential and a promising future. Instead of shrinking, giving up, and willing to become mediocre, it is better to stand up, fight, and fight for an extraordinary path." road."

The orange cat meowed and jumped away.

Nan Jin paused every word: "If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight."

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

Gu Shen raised his head thoughtfully: "These words... are those words spoken by Mr. Shu?"

"Because of the amnesty order, the teacher is still busy dealing with the old stubborn people in the tribunal, and he is in a state of desperation."

"I did it on the spot just now." Nan Jin's sunglasses slipped down, showing a calm look: "The teacher admires you very much, saying that you are a newcomer with great potential. I have to comfort you. What do you think of the speech just now?"

"That's really well said..." Gu Shen praised seriously, but then turned around: "Don't say it next time."

"cut."

The woman in the windbreaker didn't take it seriously, and put her sunglasses back on, and while checking the hanging knife under the windbreaker, she said, "I have important matters tonight, so I won't accompany you. You should take a good rest."

Before leaving, I lost another card.

"Here, the password is your birthday. There is some money in this card, which can be regarded as compensation for your selling fee. There is no problem with daily expenses. The teacher asked me to bring you a message to let you relax... The audit result is not that important, after all, at that time Before the fire, he had already taken a fancy to you."
