Barrier of Light

Scarlet door.

Wrapped with dense ancient texts.

A dim chandelier lit up in the conference room behind the door, and the sleeping participants on both sides of the long table slowly woke up.

"Everyone..."

The person who spoke was a thin and frail girl. She was wearing a badge that symbolized her identity, with the three numbers "101" written on it.

"I have called an emergency meeting and there is news that needs to be announced."

This time, not many people woke up in the conference room.

031, who always had a playful smile, woke up slowly and couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this sentence.

He rarely sat upright, looked at the thin girl seriously, and reminded with a smile: "Announcement of important news at this time... We must be busy people in the real world, right? But not many are unemployed like me."

Indeed, this time the emergency meeting was held except for the two of them.

Only two people entered the deep water area later.

The tall man 073 and the young man 957 in the corner of the conference room.

After 073 woke up, he spoke concisely and concisely as always: "Three minutes."

Meaning he only has three minutes in the real world.

"Three minutes is enough."

The girl said solemnly: "This is the latest news about the 'Awakening Act'. There is a high probability that the bill will not be implemented in Dongzhou."

"oh?"

073 looked slightly surprised.

The last meeting was held, and everyone had a headache because of the bill.

Almost no one can help... and "031", the only influential person in Dongzhou, said that he was helpless and could not delay the progress of the bill.

"Did you get any inside information? This is not a trivial matter..." 073 asked seriously: "As far as I know, Dongzhou's fight over the bill is coming to an end. Nagano has abstained, and the final battle has come to Dadu. And No one in Dadu can fight against the old fox Zhao Xilai."

"It is not convenient to reveal my source of information."

The girl was silent for a moment.

"All right……"

073 did not chase after him. He smiled happily and said, "If there are any changes, then God will help us. This emergency meeting was held in a timely manner. Thank you. After the last meeting, I have prepared to use the power of the family to try to Delay the implementation of the bill.”

"Ah……"

The young man 957 sitting in the corner frowned and whispered: "Prepare to use the power of the family to delay the implementation of the law..."

"You are really prepared for the worst, but why does this sentence sound unrealistic? Because I have racked my brains and can't think of any family far outside the East Continent that can change the federal announcement. The decree..."

957 stared at the tall man with burning eyes, "You'd better not lie to me."

"Does it make sense to lie to you?"

073 said calmly: "And...I also said, just delay as much as possible, not change."

"Aha..."

Young man 031 stood up quickly and reached out to interrupt the conversation between the two.

"Sorry, sorry, you two... I need to make a statement."

"Since Alan Turing's death, the Ancient Prose Society has lost its secret key. From that day on, every meeting may be the last time... So those of us who were lucky enough to escape the killing began to hide our identities. Everyone is afraid of the day when the conference room is breached by Deep Sea, their information is traced out, and their reputation is ruined.”

031 spoke with a low smile.

"But we are the remnant party that is the enemy of the whole world..."

"Even though we are forced to wear masks now, we still have the most sincere trust in the faces under the masks... Because in the real world, we are comrades-in-arms, and we give each other our backs."

The young man looked at 073 with a smile and said, "Why bother arguing about this matter... By the way, let me remind you, the three minutes are up."

"……I am going offline."

073 glanced at the time with some regret. He first looked at 101 and said: "Although the legal matter is important, you have probably done something, but I hope you understand... Our current abilities are limited, and sacrificing ourselves will not change anything. , do your best, and everything is based on the premise of protecting yourself.”

After hearing this, the girl fell into thinking.

The tall man looked at 957 again and said calmly: "Finally, regarding the postponement of the decree... I didn't lie to you."

After saying this, 073's figure slowly dimmed.

The light from the chandelier above his head also dissipated.

"...I'm sorry, I was impulsive." 957 apologized to 073 who had disappeared far away from the long table, although his apology voice could not reach the ears of 073 who was offline.

"OK OK--"

"I forgive you for 073."

Youngster 031 smiled and said: "Little guy, you are still too young. Don't be so impatient... There is indeed a certain family in the five continents that can interfere with the legal process, such as the Lin family in the northern fortress."

957 felt a little unhappy after hearing the first half of the sentence.

Why does this 031, who looks younger than me, sound so old-fashioned when he talks...

But the second half of the sentence really shocked him.

"Lin……"

He subconsciously ignored the existence of this behemoth.

Because the concept of "family" in the five federal continents is almost never used for the Lin family.

The northern fortress that resists the order of extraordinary collapse is the most severe battlefield in the five continents. The parliament sends a large number of extraordinary people to garrison the fortress every year, but it is far from enough... The power of logical collapse is no longer able to be overcome by the number of extraordinary people. filled.

The Lin family withstood the pressure from the northern fortress.

The surname "Lin" is a symbol of honor and sincerity in Beizhou. It has become a kind of belief. Compared with the big surnamed families in other continents who play with power and scheming, the Lin family is a completely different existence.

"073 is from the Lin family..."

No wonder, in previous emergency meetings, 073 rarely went online, and every time he went online to participate, he would express that he was pressed for time in the real world.

This is garrisoning a fortress.

It is extremely difficult to participate in the meeting.

957 once again looked at the tall man's position with a solemn expression and a bit more respect in his eyes.

"You seem to know us well."

The girl looked at the smiling face of 031 and whispered: "You have been here since the day I entered the conference room...but we know nothing about you. You said you sent the 'secret key' to my city, Have you confirmed my identity?"

The young man shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "In this deep water area, we are all prisoners wearing masks. If we want to know what we look like under the mask, we must either use clairvoyance or... just gamble on our luck and guess. But I seem to have pretty good luck, and my guesses are pretty accurate every time.”

"No, you guessed wrong."

"I have not come into contact with the 'secret key' you sent." The girl said lightly: "This 'red door' is a relic left by my father. As long as I have contact with it on a spiritual level, I can sense the 'secret key'." key'……"

031 narrowed his eyes.

"Are you sure you sent it to my city? I'm in Dadu."

The girl glanced at 957. She did not conceal her location.

"Definitely, definitely, and definitely."

031 said calmly: "I'm even sure that you have already met... If the red door doesn't respond, then try again!"
