Barrier of Light

"Since the establishment of the Tribunal, A-009 has been sent to various places in Dongzhou for investigation. Zhao Xilai has been trying to figure out what caused her to lose control...but the 'corrosion ability' is too tricky, and the experiment is difficult to carry out."

Mr. Shu took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it once, but failed.

The wind on the roof was very strong, and the flame was extinguished as soon as it was lit.

Seeing this scene, Gu Shen leaned forward to shield himself from the wind, opened his coat, and this time the old man ignited the fire smoothly.

The diffuse smoke was exhaled gently.

The wind blows and disperses.

"As you can see, there are no shackles that can lock A-009. No matter what substance is used, it will be slowly dissolved... No matter how you change the prison, it is only a matter of time before it is dissolved." Mr. In the smoke, he seemed to smile: "So over the years, Zhao Xilai has spent a lot of resources on this experiment, and has never made any progress. The only breakthrough is that in the observation in a closed environment, the researchers saw A-009 They took out two items, the boning knife and the old newspaper, they thought they were extraordinary sealed items that should not be underestimated, and there was a high probability that they were the items that caused her to lose control."

Looking at the face under the smoke, Gu Shen couldn't help but start guessing.

Why is that big man with such great power obsessed with investigating A-009's out-of-control?

Ancient texts... Alan Turing... old newspapers... a series of key words came to mind.

Alan Turing, who developed the deep sea and linked the data of five continents by himself, has been dead for many years.

It is said that Alan Turing died of illness. On the day he passed away, the flags of the five continents were lowered. Many people spontaneously went out to the streets and held a grand funeral for him. In that year, if I remember correctly... Not born.

The godfather of the deep sea once worked in the "Ancient Text Society" for a period of time, researching taboo science... But no one has heard of the Ancient Text Society anymore. With the death of Alan Turing, this mysterious organization has also disappeared. The world disappeared as if it had never existed.

No one cares, because without the Ancient Chinese Society, the world is still functioning perfectly.

But obviously.

The truth is not like this... Some people still care about the ancient literary society, the big man who granted the amnesty, has been tracking down for more than ten years, but still has not given up.

"Wait, A-009... hasn't taken out the ruler in front of outsiders?"

Gu Shen suddenly realized a very important message.

"Yes……"

"Never!" Mr. Shu showed a gratified smile and said, "At least in front of them... that's the case."

"Then why do you..."

In the middle of speaking, Gu Shen immediately shut up.

He is the person who knows how to read words and expressions best, and also knows what to say and what not to say.

He realized that Mr. Shu knew too much about "A-009"... Could it be that the two of them were old acquaintances before A-009 lost control?

Curiosity killed the cat.

Since Mr. Shu decided to "cover" himself, the cause and effect are not important.

"Do you want to know?" Mr. Shu said boldly as always, "I can tell you!"

Do this again? !

Gu Shen shook his head quickly.

"Don't, don't, don't."

Seeing this scene, Mr. Shu couldn't help laughing, just smiled, and the look in his eyes became complicated.

The old man looked leisurely into the distance.

This time, he didn't make things difficult for others, but really shut up.

So the rooftop was silent for more than ten seconds.

But Mr. Shu really kept his mouth shut, and Gu Shen was a little curious instead.

Seeing the old guy's tight-lipped appearance, Gu Shen thought about it again and again, calmed down, and put away all the thoughts that he was about to get to the bottom of.

He took a light breath and asked earnestly: "So...you are telling me this, are you going to take back the ruler?"

"No."

Mr. Tree shook his head.

"This ruler...just hold it. It's called 'The Ruler of Truth'. You must know how to use it." Zhou Jiren looked at Gu Shen and said seriously, "You should deal with the extraordinary incident on the rooftop. The ground is very good. In the future, you have to remember that fighting between superhumans is extremely dangerous. You must be ruthless and show no mercy. If you had the idea of ​​sparing the other party's life at the time, and now you are being chopped into pieces on the rooftop, It should be yourself."

"But there is one thing you need to pay attention to... The ruler of truth consumes a lot of energy, so don't use it lightly when it is not necessary. Otherwise..."

Speaking of which, he jokingly laughed.

"Doesn't it feel good to be lying in the hospital?"

Gu Shen's face turned pale, and he had a deep understanding of the pain of overdrawing his mental strength.

"Since you can use the 'Ruler of Truth', it means that your spiritual power potential is not that bad. I won't be mistaken... You still have a hand in the enlightenment of the Waking of Insects dream, right?" The old guy said slightly She smiled slyly, "You don't have to admit or deny it, as long as you know it in your heart. It's a good thing to know how to hide your clumsiness, but when necessary, you still have to show your edge."

Gu Shen's heart shuddered.

He felt that the old guy had seen through him inside and out.

What secrets do you have that the other party doesn't know? I'm afraid... there is only Chu Ling's link.

"Okay... Now that everything has been said."

Gu Shen looked at Mr. Shu and took a deep breath: "Then I have nothing to hide—"

With a smile in his eyes, Zhou Jiren gestured for Gu Shen to continue.

Gu Shen asked word by word: "Since you chose me, I want to know what my ability is, why are you so sure of me, are you really not afraid that I'm just an ordinary person?"

In the past few days, he still hasn't shown any signs of awakening.

Zhou Jiren is so sure of himself...why is he so sure?

After Gu Shen finished speaking, Mr. Shu still had that faint smile, and he just looked at Gu Shen quietly.

Uncharacteristically, the old man did not speak, like an audience listening carefully.

Finally, Gu Shen asked in a low voice: "... Am I really a superhuman?"

After waiting for Gu Shen to finish speaking, Zhou Jiren asked slowly, "Then...do you wish you were?"

Gu Shen was stunned.

He recalled scenes in his mind.

Nan Jin can overturn a light rail train with a single blow, Senior Brother Zhong Wei is faster than a cheetah, not to mention Senior Sister Luo... She is simply a land fairy.

Who wouldn't want to be like this?

"I heard from Zhong Wei about the training ground... After two weeks of special training, you chopped off a wooden man with your own strength." Seeing Gu Shen's embarrassed expression, Mr. Shu said seriously: "Don't think It's nothing, it's an amazing thing, everything starts from a seedling, at least it's your own power!"

He paused, and said: "Nan Jin's ability is called 'Lanqie'. When it was entrusted to me, the power of 'Lanqie' could not stop chopping even that wooden figure. It took ten years for her to come to where she is today. Height. No one is born with a mortal body as a genius as a god. Everyone in the tribunal, including me, starts from scratch and grows step by step..."

"So, Gu Shen... I just want to ask you a question..."

The old man stared at the boy seriously, and spoke again.

"Do you wish you were?"

The wind blew on the roof, and the clouds swayed.

The confusion in the boy's eyes dissipated with the wind.

He looked up.

The last picture in my mind was the moment when Senior Sister Luo stared at her on the training ground.

Chu Ling said to himself.

Believe it is more important than anything else.

Gu Shen said seriously: "Of course."
