Barrier of Light

"There is a third person in this dream..."

Bai Lu felt that she was hallucinating.

This is her own dream, and she has the highest authority. Everything in this dream is controlled and driven by her.

If there really was a third person...how could I not be aware of it at all?

But that girl's figure was too stunning.

Even if it only appears for a moment, it is unforgettable... Alone, standing on the boundless sea of ​​​​fire and thorns, the whole body exudes a glow that is not close to the dust, like a lonely and holy god.

And when countless seas of fire covered her, the girl seemed to make a welcoming gesture with an open arms before disappearing.

Are you... welcoming Gu Shen?

next moment!

There was a "boom".

A loud noise like thunder sounded in Bai Lu's mind.

She returned to reality.

There were a few passers-by walking on the ancient bridge, the ice on the Ninghe River had never cracked, and the whole world was silent and empty.

And Gu Shen...has long since disappeared.

…

…

"What a nasty guy."

Gu Shen muttered: "What do you think?"

He leaned against the stone wall of a dark alley and sighed in his heart. This scene seemed familiar. He seemed to have seen it not long ago... when Dadu was escaping?

Only then did Gu Shen realize that he seemed to be running away like this all the time. The old alleys in Nagano were as old as those in the old city of Dadu, no wonder they looked so familiar.

"I don't hate her because she's not a bad person."

Chu Ling said calmly: "From the beginning to the end, Bai Lu never released her murderous intention... She probably just wanted to tease you."

In that dream, Gu Shen knew very well what falling meant.

Those thorns are first-class sharp weapons. Once they fall into the bush, they will really penetrate the soul.

If Bai Lu didn't withdraw his attack, "serious injury" would be inevitable.

Gu Shen was slightly surprised by this answer.

"Actually... I don't know what you mean by 'hating'."

The girl sitting in the train looked a little confused.

She was confused and said: "The definition of the word hate in the dictionary is 'annoying'... In recent years, I have looked at the world through [Celestial Eye], and I have seen many people who should be 'hated' or 'hated'. Unfortunately, Yes, they don't make me upset. Compared with them, I even think Bai Lu...is a pretty good person."

Gu Shen was startled.

[Sky Eye] Those captured and uploaded to the deep sea network are often not simple characters, and most of the people who leave behind case files are criminals who need to be punished by law. Those should be the people who should be "hated" as Chu Lingyan mentioned.

For human beings with rich emotions.

After seeing so many case files, a person's emotions will go through a process from "full" to "numb"... For example, Justice Tang Qingquan will have a similar "apathy" in the end.

But Chu Ling is different.

She had tried to understand it all from the beginning, but she couldn't. She tried her best but couldn't understand what people meant by "disgusting". She didn't feel annoyed or disgusted.

The program says that this is the person who should be executed, and the judgment conditions are one, two, three, and four...

She would think and do an audit of the existing conditions and come to the conclusion... well, this is a person who should be executed.

In a sense, this is the ultimate calmness of detachment.

It can be put more bluntly.

This is the "indifference" and "heartlessness" that destroy human nature.

However, Chu Ling's next words made Gu Shen change his mind.

"According to my calculation, she will withdraw from the dream at the last second." She thought for a while and said: "At that time, in full view of everyone... you will cause a big embarrassment. Although this dream is very dangerous, but To you, there's no harm done, to me, she did what I wanted to do. So I don't hate her."

Gu Shen fell silent for a moment.

If Chu Ling really didn't have his own "emotions, anger, sorrows and joys", how could he feel angry because of his own words and behave in a way that wanted to "embarrass" himself?

A person who cannot feel the emotion of "hate" will certainly not understand what "schadenfreude" means.

He suddenly felt relaxed and asked with a smile: "So you really want to see me embarrassed?"

Chu Ling, who was deep in thought, thought for a long time and gave an honest answer: "...Yes."

After saying this, her expression became complicated.

Obviously, she was also aware of this problem.

"So...is this the feeling of hating?" Chu Ling thought about it carefully, and then said seriously: "Gu Shen, I just kind of hated you."

This was the answer Gu Shen wanted to hear most.

He was in a good mood and asked with a smile: "What happened then? What now? Do you still hate me?"

Unfortunately.

Gu Shen did not enter the train space of spiritual connection, so he could not see the expression on Chu Ling's face at this moment.

The girl sitting alone in the train couldn't help but recall the scene in the thorn dream after hearing this... At the last moment, Gu Shen did not take Bai Lu's hand, but chose to fall into the Ning River.

Use blazing fire to bombard the thorny dreamland beneath you.

Chu Ling had been "watching" this dream... She was supposed to be a distant spectator, a spectator, but she had to admit that the moment Gu Shen let go, her heartstrings also trembled.

If...she has her heart.

For a moment.

She felt nervous and... moved?

Scenes of scenes flowed back in Chu Ling's mind.

Finally, it stopped at the moment when the two people embraced each other.

At that moment, he opened his arms in the dream, preparing to use the huge computing power of the deep sea to take Gu Shen to forcefully escape from this dream. However, he ushered in another contact between mental power and code data, which was a kind of thing that transcended illusion. "Touch", she felt the real temperature again at this moment.

Feeling the temperature is a "right" that one should not have and expect.

Is it because of... Gu Shen?

No matter what, the previous anger has long been turned into smoke, and it is difficult to trace similar emotions.

So Chu Ling spoke in a very low voice, "Now... I'm not so annoying."

This slightly shy response, which could be called "I don't have three hundred taels of silver here", made Gu Shen feel more at ease and take advantage. He asked unreasonably: "It's not that annoying... you just like it?"

Chu Ling was stunned.

She fell into thinking again.

The meanings of these two words swirled in my mind... and this time, my thinking did not last long.

Although the verification has been compared tens of millions of times.

But it actually only took a second for her to get the answer.

"Yes……"

Chu Ling replied softly but firmly: "Gu Shen, I like you."
