Barrier of Light

After two days and one night, everyone successfully arrived in Nagano.

The journey was uneventful, with no accidents or "disasters".

Everyone was in good spirits, even the little orange cat in Gu Shen's arms was in high spirits...with the exception of one person.

The spirit of the tomb ghost was very low, and his face was as pale as paper. He really looked like a ghost that had just crawled out of the tomb.

Gu Shen was a little surprised at this result.

According to his previous observations, although Zhonggui has been living underground all year round, devoting himself to experimental research and neglecting cultivation, he himself has certain extraordinary abilities... and the induction conclusion given by Chihuo is that this guy has been hiding his clumsiness and is extraordinary. The strength is not too weak.

Traveling this distance may make ordinary people feel a little tired.

But it should be nothing to the extraordinary.

Is it because of the "ominous" state?

In any case... my original suspicion has been confirmed. When walking with Tsuka Oni, you only need to make sure that he is unlucky, and then there is a high probability that you will not be affected.

"arrive."

When Gu Nanfeng spoke softly, the off-road vehicle was diving from the high point of a mountain road. Looking from this height, a majestic outline of a giant city shrouded in snow could be vaguely seen in the distance, contrasting with the neon lights of the metropolis at night. Hong is different. The first district in Jiangbei has a more primitive and vicissitudes of atmosphere.

Separated by dozens of miles.

I just felt that the huge city was very quiet.

Scattered snowflakes floated in the night sky, driven away by the car lights and blown away by the mist. They were dazzling for a moment, like fireflies.

This kind of snow is not serious in most cities, but it is common in Nagano.

This was the first time Gu Shen saw the true face of Nagano.

To him, this is a city that only exists on the Five Continents network and recorded on maps. The book says that this is a "majestic city" that has accumulated rich and long-standing Dongzhou culture. Historical materials can be searched in the deep sea. , there is no record of how Nagano was established. This majestic city has long been established on the ancient ruins of human civilization, blooming with its own glory.

The original "Nagano" was built with huge ancient stone walls. Due to the cold climate in Jiangbei and snow falling all year round, these huge walls were considered to be built to withstand the severe cold, so they were also called the "Snow Forbidden City".

With the advancement of civilization and the expansion of the region, the Dongzhou Federation began to "expand". Nagano was no longer just a giant city blocked by giant walls on all sides, but gradually became the largest region in Jiangbei. Outside the giant wall, high-rise buildings and mansions have been rebuilt one after another. The original ancient city ruins have been preserved, but they are different from the old city of "Dadu".

The Snow Forbidden City is highly developed.

The architectural style here is just old, preserving the history and culture of the year, and it is not out of date like most of the old cities... because in the giant wall, some of the most elite and core elites of the Eastern Continent Federation are condensed.

The Judgment Office, the Tribunal, the Command Post, the Eastern Continent Federal Security Council...these "behemoths" established in the new era chose to set up their headquarters in the Snow Forbidden City to ensure that the core of the entire Eastern Continent Council's operation is in Nagano. .

If most of them are the "economic core" of Dongzhou, then Nagano is the well-deserved "political center".

"A flying object is approaching."

The orange cat meowed.

"...Not just flying objects, but also fleets, extraordinary beings, a lot of them."

Chu Ling's voice sounded in Gu Shen's mind, and a three-dimensional image appeared in front of his eyes. Before he could remind him, Gu Nanfeng murmured to himself: "After so many days, those guys in Nagano are still as enthusiastic as ever. …”

The off-road vehicle stopped moving forward, just turned on its headlights and blew its horn.

In the distance there is the sound of helicopter blades and the crushing roar of swarms of vehicles.

The snow air was blown away.

The helicopter slowly descended the ladder. Under the strong light, a bloated young man wrapped in a big coat did not climb down the ladder. Instead, he jumped straight down and hit the wet ground with a big splash. A mess of mud.

The man didn't care, he strode forward quickly with his military boots on.

"Don't worry, we are one of our own."

Seeing this scene, Gu Nanfeng smiled softly, "Everyone, get out of the car."

…

…

A bear hug!

The man who jumped out of the helicopter was burly, like a mountain of meat. He laughed and hurried forward, with heavy steps, and gave Gu Nanfeng a fierce bear hug... This scene is very interesting. The impact seems to make people worry whether the bones of the future young master of the Gu family will be directly rubbed into the flesh.

"Fat man, long time no see."

Gu Nanfeng patted the fat man on the back hard. When he said this, his eyes were a little red. He took a deep breath and calmed down all the complicated emotions after being away from home for many years. After the bear hug ended, his expression changed. It's back to normal.

Gu Nanfeng introduced with a smile: "Luo Yu, the current central commander of the Nagano Command Post, is responsible for the deployment of personnel and mission planning of the special operations group... and is the absolute core of the Nagano Command Post."

"These are the friends I made in Dadu... Lu Nanjin and Gu Shen." Gu Nanfeng also introduced Luo Yu and said with a smile: "They are disciples of the Grand Adjudicator of the Adjudication Institute."

Luo Yu looked at Lu Nanjin and Gu Shen.

Gu Shen also looked at Luo Yu.

The tasks that the command post is usually responsible for... are not as intense as the ruling office. In the storage of related sealed objects and the handling of extraordinary events, they play more of a "think tank" role, sitting in the rear and responsible for overall planning.

Just like Wei Shu in the A-009 out-of-control mission.

Gu Shen knew very well that not everyone, like himself, had an absolutely calm and wise "commander" residing in his mind, so in complex extraordinary events and missions, the existence of the role of commander Very important.

For example, the "Kitean Street Fog" incident in Dadu District... If this crisis is not solved by itself and becomes more and more serious, under normal circumstances, the three institutes will set up a "special investigation team" and condense a group of Only an extraordinary team, this team is often equipped with a "commander" who can mobilize deep-sea data in real time. The commander does not need to be physically present, but needs to immerse himself in the deep water area with mental power, monitor and provide real-time data analysis, and control the mission. general direction of investigation.

This is the real purpose of establishing the three major offices of the Dongzhou Federation.

Handle extraordinary events efficiently and safely!

Because extraordinary events often have "undetectable" weirdness... The analysis of the deep sea can greatly improve the survival possibility of law enforcement officers. In special operations under the three institutes system, the essential task of extraordinary persons is to act as "eyes". Provide a "vision" to the commander who is connected to the deep sea, and then leave the subsequent calculations and implementation of the mission to the commander who is familiar with the information.

Because of the teacher's arrangement.

Gu Shen has always been a loner... He has not yet carried out tasks according to the traditional model of the Three Institutes.

In fact, this model doesn't suit him either.

Because he has the strongest commander in the world.

"The two famous names are like thunder piercing the ears, and I have admired them for a long time."

This was really a clichéd polite phrase, but it worked very well. At least Gu Shen didn't find it disgusting or hypocritical.

Luo Yu modestly stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Just call me Fatty Luo."

When shaking hands with Lu Nanjin, he said warmly: "I had the honor to go to Dadu many years ago and had a brief chat with that lady for a long time... Luo has always admired her wisdom and courage. If it is convenient, please send me a sincere message." Greetings."

Nan Jin was slightly startled.

She gave a rare friendly smile and said softly: "Okay... I remember."

People cannot be judged by their appearance.

The reputation and title of this fat man are not simple... To be able to sit as the central commander of the Nagano Command Post at such a young age must be a first-rate genius.

It was the first time we met, and he could keep his attitude so low.

It's not easy.

"Brother Gu, I think everyone in the Snow Forbidden City already knows your S-class name." Luo Yu smiled again before shaking hands and said, "I often hear the extraordinary beings from the Third Institute mention you..."

Good guy.

Gu Shen already had a vague ominous sign.

He smiled and shook hands with Luo Yu.

There was a "click" sound.

A wisp of electric sparks shot out.

Fatty Luo was wearing a pair of thick gloves. He was slightly startled and said with a smile: "Sorry, sorry, maybe it's because the weather is too dry... there's static electricity..."

After that, he took off his gloves.

His left hand turned out to be a palm made purely of machinery. The five fingers were slowly closing together with force, but even the simple "putting palms together" movement seemed to be blocked.

"Weird..." Fatty Luo frowned and murmured, "It shouldn't be..."

Gu Shen quickly calmed down.

During this journey, the practice of Jingzhe Breathing Technique has become perfect.

In his spare time, he began to explore the extraordinary source material of the "Iron Throne" sealed in the blazing fire... At the moment of his first contact, this source material that he had not yet mastered was vaguely touched.

"Maybe the parts have been used for too long and some of them have malfunctioned." Fatty Luo glanced at Gu Shen and said with a smile, "It's funny, I'll repair it later."

"Fat man...what's going on with this hand?"

Gu Nanfeng narrowed his eyes.

He saw the iron palm after taking off the glove.

Before leaving Nagano... it was not like this.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it's just a small thing... There's nothing to say. Today's 'prosthetic' technology is very advanced, and there is no inconvenience in using this iron hand."

Fatty Luo glanced around, laughed, and tried to let it go.

Seeing that Gu Nanfeng still had a serious look on his face, he could only explain helplessly: "If you really want to know, I will tell you when there are less people around."

Gu Nanfeng rubbed his eyebrows and sighed softly.

A car stopped nearby.

They are all people under Fatty Luo... They are responsible for coming out to greet the "distinguished guests", and it is indeed crowded now.

Fatty Luo smiled and said: "Although I don't know why you are taking so much time and effort to drive, you must be tired from traveling all the way... I have prepared a dinner for you all, so that you can catch the wind and wash away the dust. Please be sure to give me a compliment."

Speaking of which.

He paused, frowned and looked at the fourth man huddled in the corner.

"This is……"

No introduction needed.

Fatty Luo narrowed his eyes, restrained his original gentle tone, and said coldly: "You are really brave... How dare you come back..."

As long as they are involved in the Tomb Clearance Act and have some contact with the parties, who can not know this guy?

Tsukasa ghost!

If the Snow Forbidden City publishes a hatred value list... this unlucky guy who has successfully tricked and disgusted both the old and new factions will definitely be ranked first, and be far ahead of the second place.

Xing Yun, who was already exhausted, saw a bright light hitting his face.

His face instantly turned paler.

Subconsciously, he wanted to get behind Gu Shen and shouted: "Young Master...Young Master, save me!"

Hearing such a shout, Fatty Luo was startled.

He suddenly understood... why Gu Nanfeng was driving here.

"Young Master... did you capture this guy?"

Luo Yu murmured, looking a little unbelievable.

According to the tip... After Gu Nanfeng left Beizhou, the first place he went to when he came to Dongzhou was Dadu, not Nagano.

The "Apostle Incident" that occurred in most of the capital after that caused strong ripples in the Eastern Continent Council... This major case is still fermenting, and the Eastern Continent Federation's attitude towards the Tower of Source has become very subtle.

However, not many people have yet to associate this matter with Gu Nanfeng.

The head of the Gu family, who left Nagano eight years ago, didn’t tell anyone about his return home!

But now Luo Yu realized...this was not just for fun.

Come prepared!

He actually captured all the ghosts in the tomb.

"I brought him back." Gu Nanfeng smiled and nodded without denying it.

After receiving the affirmative answer, Fatty Luo sighed, feeling sincerely happy. He couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You are truly worthy of being a young master... I don't know how many people want to pluck off this guy's skin and light lanterns in the sky."

After hearing this, Tsuka Oni's face turned extremely ugly. He quickly looked around and began to look for a breakthrough point to escape.

There is snow all around.

Big lights wrap themselves up.

There is no way out!

Fatty Luo took another step forward and stretched out his claws.

Just then——

"I brought the Tomb Demon back...not to skin him and light up the sky lanterns."

Gu Nanfeng smiled and said, "Fat man, don't continue to scare him... The apostle's case can be regarded as his contribution."

Tsukauki was so frightened that his legs were weak, but the iron hands fell on his shoulders and just patted him lightly.

Fatty Luo said calmly: "Look at your greed for life and fear of death. You haven't changed at all after so many years?"

He turned to Gu Nanfeng and smiled again: "Now people outside call me...Iron Hand. What do you think of this title?"

"It doesn't sound like a good reputation." Gu Nanfeng smiled and said, "But it's appropriate."

Fatty Luo regained his humble smile, bowed deeply to Gu Shen and Lu Nanjin, and said, "You two, please come with me."

Looking at the snowflakes being beaten by the helicopter and the retreating figures of everyone.

Tsukauki was a little desperate, and he shouted loudly: "What about me? I haven't even gotten on the plane yet?!"

"You're exempt."

Fatty Luo glanced back, patted one of his guards, and said calmly: "Send him to join us... Couple him with strong logic materials. Remember, don't give him any preferential treatment."
