Barrier of Light

"Are you really prepared to wait three days?"

The old city was shrouded in night. Standing on the rooftop of an abandoned old building, you could overlook the criss-crossing streets and alleys. Lao Qin, wearing a black windbreaker, squinted his eyes and cast his gaze towards an ancient alley in the distance.

That alley is Lion Alley.

"How is that possible?" Tie Wu said with a smile, "Am I a fool? How could it be possible that all the flowers would wither after waiting for three days in Dadu."

It doesn't take that long to kill someone.

If Huazhi decided to take action against Lu Nanzhi, then...it would only take one night.

He just wanted to see...under the pressure exerted by Zhongzhou, what would Zhao choose?

"drop."

A very soft communication reminder sound.

Tie Wu listened silently for a moment, then hung up the message, shook his head and sighed: "Zhao Xilai has contacted the Central Continent Council, hoping to evacuate the [Apostles] through the council..."

Lao Qin frowned and said, "He should know that this is impossible..."

"I'm really old and confused. I came here under the order of Lord God, how could the council call me back?" Tiewu sneered: "But this also shows that the vegetative man in Nagano City is indeed still sleeping. Otherwise, Zhao Xilai wouldn’t have come up with such a method.”

Link to Central Continent, hoping they will stop [Apostle]’s behavior.

It does sound a bit funny.

Actions at this level are carefully planned, there will be no misunderstandings, and they will not be easily undone.

"Or... is this a warning?" Lao Qin frowned and said, "Assuming that Dongzhou is preparing to fight back, contact the Central Continent Council and demand the withdrawal of the [Apostle]... it should be regarded as an aboveboard warning."

"You just think too much..."

Tie Wu disagreed. He glanced down at the time and said, "I was originally prepared to wait for another day, but now, I can't wait for even a second..."

Not far away is Lion Lane.

In the old house at the end of Lion Lane, the lights are always burning, and there is an invisible force that blocks the outside world. It seems to be a relatively unique sealed object. If you don't enter the yard, you can't see the real situation inside.

A lot of guards gathered near Lion Alley.

After reaching a cooperation intention with Nanwan, Chen San dispatched several elite men under his command to protect the safety of Lion Alley.

"Wait a minute."

Just as Tie Wu was about to leave the rooftop of the abandoned old building, Lao Qin suddenly stretched out a hand and pressed his shoulder like lightning. A burst of strength spurted out, slamming down Tie Wu's floating feet. On the ground.

"We might as well wait...someone is going to take action."

Lao Qin calmly pointed to a streak of black flowing in the night in the distance... There was a rather hidden extraordinary aura flowing there, but there was a vague sense of murderous intent.

Tie Wu stumbled, holding the hem of his windbreaker lying on the ground, and swaying again.

He looked into the distance and muttered: "Is this... Huazhi's person?"

"When I came to Dadu before, I saw this woman... She is an extraordinary person under Zhao Xilai." Old Qin said, "It seems that Huazhi has made his own decision. We might as well just watch it here." .”

…

…

"The last mission, the old city, Fulin Lane..."

"Finish."

Gu Shen walked out of an old house in Fulin Lane. The task prompts of the holographic glasses were automatically ticked one after another and then disappeared. This meant that the tasks assigned by Deep Sea based on computing power had come to an end for the time being.

Three men were lying on their backs in the yard, with a bloody hole between their eyebrows burned out, and unexploded detonators around their waists... This scene was not bloody, because the temperature of the "blazing fire" was too high, and the center of the eyebrows was burned directly. All the blood was burned away.

All three of them are extraordinary.

However... the battle in the courtyard only lasted five minutes, four of which were used by Gu Shen to absorb the transcendent essence of the deceased.

If you don't have enough mental strength, being hit by the blazing fire is almost an instant death.

"Congratulations, it's another 'thrilling' battle."

Lu Nanjin, who was leaning against the courtyard door, yawned out of boredom and said, "It seems that the tasks the teacher chose for you... are a little too simple."

As a "backup", she accompanied Gu Shen on his mission to kill members of the Jiujiu Foundation... It only took half a day to go from worry at the beginning to surprise and surprise to now becoming accustomed to it.

If it took Gu Shen more than five minutes to deal with a transcendent of the same level... then she would be surprised.

Gu Shen smiled.

These tasks seem very simple, but in fact... they are really suitable for me. Fighting with low-level extraordinary beings has significantly improved my control over the blazing fire, and the discrete extraordinary source matter adds up to a large number. Today One afternoon can be described as "a lot of harvest".

The teacher knows the qualities of blazing fire.

To be able to engulf the black spots requires a large amount of source matter... and the task of clearing out Foundation members is an excellent opportunity to collect discrete source matter.

Gu Shen is not picky about food.

The senior sister is also very cooperative. After the battle, she will silently return to the door to look out for Gu Shen... Every extraordinary person has his or her own secrets, and the younger junior brother is certainly no exception.

She had accidentally caught a glimpse of the "extraordinary essence" collected by Gu Shen from the dead...

This is actually something that goes against people’s understanding of the extraordinary source of matter!

If you put it to the outside world, it will definitely cause a violent sensation!

However, Lu Nanjin was only slightly surprised and had no other thoughts.

Now...she would not be surprised by anything that happened to Gu Shen.

The Dongzhou Council attributed Gu Shen's "blazing fire" to spiritual abilities on the extraordinary genealogy chart, but Lu Nanjin knew that that small flame had its own entity and scorching temperature.

This is by no means a spiritual or natural power.

Extraordinary nature is mutation, weirdness, and elusiveness.

As for those with special abilities, they can do things that violate extraordinary laws... which is quite reasonable.

What's wrong with absorbing the extraordinary source of energy... The "Fire Stealer" in Central Continent can even steal other people's extraordinary abilities!

"The mission is over, thank you for your hard work, Senior Sister."

Gu Shen let out a long breath. He traveled half of the metropolitan area today, from the river beach to the old city. He did not dare to take any battle lightly. At this moment, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Continue tomorrow." Lu Nanjin nodded, turned around with the knife in hand, and was about to leave.

"If I remember correctly... Fulin Lane seems to be not far from Lion Lane." Gu Shen suddenly smiled and asked, "Would you like to go and have a seat?"

Lu Nanjin was slightly startled.

Looking at the back, he seemed to be hesitating.

"I'm busy during this period."

Lu Nanjin shook his head and said, "I still won't go."

Although I have been away from Dadu for ten years.

But after returning here, many ideas... have changed.

She began to slowly understand her sister, and also thought about finding an opportunity for the two of them to have a good chat.

It's just that now is the critical moment for the handover of alternative members. The final battle over the bill and Zhao's sanctions require a lot of thought to deal with.

At this time, it’s better not to disturb you.

"Then I'll go see Brother Crow." Gu Shen continued to shamelessly extend the invitation: "Senior sister, do you want to come with us?"

Lu Nanjin: "..."

"Just in time to have some supper together." Gu Shen rubbed his chin and said, "The lion sobering up he kept privately is a good thing..."

The senior sister holding the knife slowly turned around and said seriously: "Let me state in advance... I'm just hungry."

"Still a little thirsty."

…

…

"Be careful not to accidentally injure innocent people."

In the night, a small team was advancing rapidly.

The leader was a tall and thin woman wearing night tights. A black gauze scarf was tied to her forehead for wiping her forehead, but even so, there was still a faint fluorescent light lingering around, as if it had condensed into a... Eye pupils.

Spiritual system, [Spirit Eye].

Liu Yi was followed closely by four team members, and their bodies were all shimmering with light fluorescence.

[Spiritual Eyes] With Liu Yi as the main character, they expand and share each other's vision.

"This mission... is to enter the old house in Lion Lane." Liu Yi said calmly: "I will use [Spiritual Eyes] to plan the best way and avoid fighting as much as possible. If there is a conflict, just knock him out. Can."

Patrolling here are not only the transcendents of the South Bay faction, but also federal officers from the three agencies. They have three circles inside and three circles outside to control Lion Alley and the surrounding streets. Because the facilities in the old city are outdated, They temporarily dispatched drones equipped with Sky Eyes to defend the area airtight.

"Southeast, there are two patrollers."

Someone spoke in a low voice.

At the corner of the alley, the light just shined.

Liu Yi jumped out like a night cat, with a soft figure. She stretched out her hands in an instant and pressed them in front of the two patrollers. The forehead bandage fell off by itself the moment she jumped out, turning into a tight band. The ribbon was wrapped around her palm, and for a moment darkness enveloped the eyes of the two patrollers.

But this is actually a kind of "protection"!

Without the cover of his forehead, Liu Yi's [spiritual eyes] suddenly burst into intense blazing light!

In an instant, a waterfall of holy light passed through the alley. The two guards, whose eyes were covered by wiping their foreheads, felt their eyes were bright, and there was only a buzzing sound in their ears.

Liu Yi's expression was calm, and he immediately retracted his forehead wiping, raised his hands, and tied the ribbon behind his head, and the light of his [spiritual eyes] slowly dissipated.

The two patrollers at the corner had lost consciousness and fell limply.

This is not only [hypnosis] on the spiritual level, but also a [blow] that directly affects the material level.

The state of unconsciousness lasts very steadily for eight to ten hours.

"Walk."

After doing all this, Liu Yi spoke in a low voice. He was short of time and had no time to deal with the aftermath of the two patrollers... If they were discovered, it would mean that his group's surprise attack would be exposed.

The only thing that can be done is to ensure that the two of them do not wake up temporarily and cause greater trouble.

However... this mission does not take too long.

Cut to Lion Lane and break into the old house, that’s it!

Under layers of protection...exposure is inevitable, and in the end you will definitely have to break through forcefully.

After turning two more corners, you can already see the outline of the house. In the distance is a seemingly empty four-way intersection, but in fact it is a truly heavily guarded position, not to mention the three well-trained officers. , just saying that those sincere and extraordinary people in South Bay who have no formal establishment are enough to cause a headache.

"...disperse."

Liu Yi silently leaned against the wall. She gestured to the four people following her to disperse.

The five-person team became five teams.

Liu Yi closed his eyes and opened his [spiritual eyes] completely. His forehead was almost transparent when illuminated by the blazing light.

As if an invisible soul had left her body, she "moved her head" faintly and turned her eyes 180 degrees, trying to see the true scene of the old house behind her...

However, Liu Yi's ever-victorious [Spiritual Eye] hit a wall here.

Lions guard the house to guard against bad omens, and banyan trees support the sky to prevent prying eyes. A hazy smoke of fire fills the sky over the yard, as if something is burning, blocking out all sensations.

[Spiritual Eye] has completely lost its function. Even if I try my best, I can only see a blurry scene in the hospital.

Except...the few black crows staying on the wall of the courtyard.

Wait a minute...crow?

Liu Yi's expression changed slightly.

She realized... this house was missing a "soul figure". The intelligence said that Song Ci had been guarding in front of the old house, loyally guarding the peace of Lion Lane. This was a more terrifying existence than the officials of the three houses, and also The frontline resistance in this mission.

This is why Mr. Zhao sent himself on the mission.

If you want to enter the house... you must rely on the power of [Spiritual Eyes]. Because of Song Ci's existence, it is almost impossible to break in here. Even if there are powerful sealed objects to cooperate, he needs to be locked in advance. position.

Liu Yi took a deep breath.

She first took out a small copper bell from her arms. The surface of the copper bell was covered with ancient talismans. Even though it experienced bumps during the removal process, it remained eerily silent.

This copper bell is the A-level sealed object prepared by Huazhi for this operation, the soul-locking bell. After the user completes the mental lock, it will forcefully drag the selected transcendent into the dream.

Then, Liu Yi took out a piece of shabby clothes... This was Crow's previous clothes.

In fact, it doesn't have to be clothing. Items that only need to have extraordinary aura can activate the locking function of [Spiritual Eyes].

The breath of every extraordinary person is unique.

[Spiritual Eye] can lock on a ray of extraordinary aura within a very large range... As long as it exists within this range, it will definitely not be able to escape the induction.

There was a distant noise.

Liu Yi knew that it was the team member he sent, who was successfully discovered and caused a commotion... The patrol officials and the sincere extraordinary people would all be attracted to the attention.

And now... it's time to lock the crow's spirit and activate the "Soul-Locking Bell".

The black forehead was torn apart by a flash of light.

Liu Yi's expression was solemn. The broken clothes in the corner of her palm suddenly cracked and disappeared under the hot light. The sight of [Spiritual Eyes] began to fly wildly. In an instant, she seemed to have risen thousands of feet high in the sky, overlooking the whole place like a god. This old city has a very mysterious and microscopic feeling, because every detail of every street and alley is burned into my mind.

Then his vision dropped rapidly.

This is [Spiritual Eyes] locking onto the extraordinary aura and starting to adjust the sight distance!

Falling!

Fall again!

Liu Yi's face turned pale. She first saw a huge crow flying up from the night with a scream, and then she saw a bunch of overwhelming black tides, flapping their wings and crashing into her field of vision. In the darkness, After the tide wash——

[Spiritual Eyes] found the owner of this corner of clothing and locked the perspective.

Her eyes finally stopped at the top of her head, and she saw a bird's-eye view of herself with her back against the wall.

She wanted to see the crow.

But I saw... myself.

Layers of cold sweat broke out on Liu Yi's back. She slowly raised her head and looked in the direction where her spiritual eyes were projected.

On the top of the wall, there was a shadow that had been squatting for a long time, stood up slowly, and spoke lazily.

Song Ci looked down at Liu Yi expressionlessly.

"Sister Liu, it's been... a long time no see."
