Barrier of Light

"Buzz——"

A very slight crackling sound.

Like the fluttering wings of a mosquito, the sound is too weak to be heard. A drone moves slowly in the sky, fulfilling its mission of patrolling the boundaries of the old city every day. In the era of rapid economic development in Dongzhou, the parliament has considered Comprehensively build the [Deep Sea] network, and the old city will soon be covered by the [Sky Eye].

Just a matter of time.

However, the drone stopped in front of the dark night.

The high-speed recording lens captured the inconsistency in the tones of the world in front of it... A large dark domain shrouded the world in front of it. According to the algorithm operating in the deep sea, it should have captured all of this and then waited for the host's response.

If the [Extraordinary Abnormality] alarm is triggered, all extraordinary persons in the three institutes will receive a notification.

But today is an exception.

The drone hovered in front of the night in [Xumi], paused for a few seconds, and received feedback from the deep-sea host.

It began to "turn back", completed today's task ahead of schedule, and automatically deleted the captured freeze-frame images in the database.

The drone's silent "return" attracted the attention of someone on the ground who looked up.

"Mr. Xiao Cui, [Apostle]'s matter is far more serious than you and I imagined."

Gu Nanyi, wearing a round-shouldered cloak, watched as the drone controlled by the deep sea chose to cover all this. His voice became dignified and serious, "The authority enjoyed by the highest seat in the [deep sea] has broken the gap between the five continents." The balance. If the bill passes, what happens next in this land... I am afraid it is beyond our control."

Cui Zhongcheng and Gu Nanyi stood in front of the dark domain.

"...I will truthfully report it to Mr. Congressman." Cui Zhongcheng stared deeply at the drone going away and said softly, "I can only do so much about the bill. After all, I am just a parliamentary assistant. '."

Gu Nanyi felt a little regretful, but also expressed understanding.

He smiled and said, "The front is more dangerous, so you should wait here."

This young man who had been stationed in Beizhou for many years carried a long knife with him. Gu Nanfeng stretched out a hand and placed it in front of the [Xumi] field. Invisible ripples swayed.

next moment.

He took a step forward and disappeared.

…

…

The wind blowing over the ruins of Lion Lane was mixed with the smell of blood and rust.

The iron sword that penetrated the chest was grasped by blood-stained fingers, slowly pulled out, and then crushed.

After completing this action, the owner of that arm had exhausted all his strength... He lay on the ground, and the arm he had just raised fell heavily. In the silent world, there was an extremely weak heartbeat sound, which was still echoing.

Song Ci opened his eyes, his vision was blurry... he couldn't see anything, there was no need to see anything, so he slowly closed them again.

He felt as if his "consciousness" had been shattered.

Being alive is already a huge miracle.

Tie Wu thought so too... According to common sense, no one in this world should be able to survive such an attack.

Maybe there are always exceptions.

This man's vitality is indeed tenacious, but there is no point in doing such a stupid action. If you want to "escape", then it is better to wait for the storm to calm down and then crawl out from the ruins. That way you may still be able to escape with a life.

Since he's not dead, let's add another sword.

He frowned and didn't think much about it.

He raised his hand.

With a "swish" sound, the drawn iron sword rose up from the ground instantly, and struck Song Ci's head hard again.

After a few seconds.

With his back to Song Ci, Tie Wu was driving the iron piece and preparing to leave. After taking a few steps, his figure suddenly stopped.

The sound of the iron sword falling into the air stopped suddenly. This feeling was very uncomfortable... It was as if someone took off a boot in the attic, and the sound of the second one falling to the ground never appeared again.

Tie Wu narrowed his eyes and slowly turned back.

His fallen sword was hanging over Song Ci's cheek, and the tip of the sword was only a tiny distance away from the closed eyes.

There was a silent wind that blew through the pits, the iron sword, and Song Ci's dry hair.

A snow-white and powerful palm stretched out from the wind that blew through everything.

This palm grasped the iron sword.

As a result, the iron sword was completely erased from Tie Wu's induction... He lost his induction and was no longer able to control the iron weapon. The man in the round cloak slowly released his palm and held the iron sword. It fell against Song Ci's cheek and pierced into the earth.

The clang of the sword made Song Ci's eardrums hurt.

He opened his eyes with difficulty and saw a blurry face.

I can't see clearly...I've probably never seen it before...but I feel inexplicably reliable in my heart...

Song Ci said two words with great difficulty: "Thank you."

Gu Nanfeng also responded gently with two words: "You're welcome."

In the tense battlefield, in the wind filled with blood and rust, the two people chatted casually... It sounded like old friends they hadn't seen for many years.

This scene, in Tie Wu's eyes, was inevitably a bit ironic.

As an [Apostle], his intuition is extremely keen... Tie Wu knows very well that without using tokens, those people can fight on his own, and those people are absolutely no match for him.

If you have enough time.

Then this rough-skinned and thick-skinned man... he should be able to beat him.

But the handsome man who appeared like a ghost in front of him was probably... no match.

This is a strong intuition.

Even though the man in front of him had a faint smile on his face and seemed gentle and peaceful, harmless to humans and animals... Tie Wu didn't catch the movement of his arrival at all.

His speed is too fast, much faster than Song Ci.

"Nagano, Gu Nanfeng."

The man in the cloak with round shoulders spoke softly. This sentence seemed to be addressed to Iron Five, but in fact it was an introduction to Crow.

Nagano?

Tie Wu's pupils shrank, and he realized that there was something wrong with this place name.

The crow looked a little confused.

He knew very well that he had never left Dadu from birth to now.

There is no connection at all with Nagano.

"The [Immortal] who has endured all the calamities, the [Chosen One] who has endured all the pain... I am here for you." Gu Nanfeng slowly knelt down. These words were what he said to the [Apostle] in the Tower of Origin in front of him. 】 He heard that when he spoke, he took out the token in his arms.

It is different from the grape emblem of Iron Five.

This coat of arms is engraved with an eagle spreading its wings.

Song Ci's confused and distracted eyes became condensed little by little. After Gu Nanfeng released his palm, the coat of arms was suspended on the withered man's forehead, changing from dim to bright, and emitting bursts of radiance.

The atmosphere surrounding Gu Nanyi began to spread with a healing aura.

This is a wind of recovery.

"What the hell..."

Tie Wu's complexion suddenly turned pale.

Is this guy from Nagano Castle here to deliver Gu Changzhi’s token?

Gu Changzhi is not dead? !
