Barrier of Light

The sea of ​​​​fire in the long street was extinguished.

Today is a day when big names in Nagano gather. In the past year, there has been almost no day that has attracted so many powerful people like today.

Mr. Zhou Wei frowned.

What happened today was indeed a bit big.

The video of Gu Shen beating Xu Yan has been uploaded to the deep water area... Unsurprisingly, Gu Shen will have many more "followers".

But the thorny issue right now is the prosecution of Zhu Wang.

The temporary grand adjudicator is also the grand adjudicator.

In Nagano, protecting calves is something that every teacher must do.

Zhu Wang protected his disciples unconditionally.

And he, Zhou Wei... made his position clear a year ago, and he would definitely protect Gu Shen.

But Nagano is a place with rules, and any protection must be in accordance with the rules... If today's duel is a fight agreed by two people in advance, then no matter how badly Xu Yan is beaten, Zhou Wei will be able to help Gu Shen escape. trouble.

only.

The images in [Wind Eyes] showed that Xu Yan did not fight back at all.

This is not a "showdown" at all.

But...a unilateral "beating".

"According to Nagano law, I will detain Gu Shen for forty-eight hours. As for whether this incident is related to 'loss of control', it doesn't count." Mr. Zhou Wei was silent for a few seconds, then slowly said: "I will let [Deep Sea] do it. Make an assessment and give a report.”

Mr. Zhou slowly raised his hand.

Next to him, a young man immediately walked out and took out the strong logic material handcuffs.

"Brother Gu... please cooperate."

The man spoke in a low voice with a voice that only two people could hear, and his attitude was not tough.

Gu Shen remembered that he had met this guy once.

It was at the Fourth Inquisitor's dojo. This young man took away Shen Li who was in a state of out-of-control "Gluttony".

"Mr. Dewey."

Gu Shen smiled and stretched out his hands, not resisting the "arrest" of the Security Committee.

After the handcuffs were put on, Duwei glanced at Xu Yan lying on the ground and said softly: "It's a pity that I didn't see the fight just now with my own eyes. By the way... we are all your supporters."

Gu Shen was slightly startled when he heard this.

He noticed that the outside of the long street was covered with a barrier of sealed objects, and within the barrier, many young extraordinary people from the Security Committee gathered around.

They all cast affirmative glances at themselves.

The extraordinary beings of the Security Committee rushed to the scene and did not directly stop the fighting... One reason was because they were not capable enough to stop it.

But there is another reason besides that, that is, they don't like "Xu Yan" either.

Gu Shen remembered that Luo Yu had said when he was at Chunyu Temple that he had entrusted his friends to investigate Xu Yan.

That friend should be Du Wei.

The Security Committee would never let someone like Xu Yan go. When Du Wei first heard the news, he assured Luo Yu that this "S-level" whose file was as blank as snow would definitely be able to be investigated. Something went wrong.

Unfortunately... nothing was found.

The meaning of archives is like snow, which means not only blank, but also clean.

Du Wei, who has always regarded himself as an "Eagle Eye", made a mistake for the first time. The task force of the Safety Committee stared at yesterday's enlightenment ceremony without slacking off, but the result was still nothing.

Du Wei knew very well in his heart that there must be something wrong with Xu Yan.

Or, this guy is seriously ill.

What normal person would be beaten until he was covered in blood, lying on the ground unable to control himself, and still smiling?

It looked like he was the one who won!

Before leaving, Gu Shen looked at Xu Yan who was collapsed on the ground.

Xu Yan gave himself a "sincere" smile.

Passed by.

Both people were sent away.

One was carried to the medical clinic.

The other one was taken to the safety committee's car.

After getting in the car, Du Wei immediately released the handcuffs for Gu Shen.

"Brother Gu... you may have to face 48 hours of detention."

Du Wei started the car and explained the current situation sincerely: "Under normal circumstances, we have the right to lift the detention in advance. As long as the mental link report of [Deep Sea] and the out-of-control evaluation are completed, we can release the person. But this time Zhu Wangdeng It’s very tight, I’m afraid I’ll have to wait for the full 48 hours.”

"Just follow the rules."

Gu Shen considered the worst consequences before taking action.

Beating Xu Yan would definitely cause an uproar in the Snow Forbidden City.

And finally... it should trigger the Safety Committee.

Not to mention the relationship between Mr. Zhou and himself.

Taking a step back and getting down to business, the safety committee’s test report on the spiritual link... was all generated by [Deep Sea].

Chu Ling's voice sounded at the right time: "Congratulations, you are in jail again."

She wasn't nervous at all.

Because the Dongzhou Safety Committee’s link reports require feedback from [Source Code].

"Yeah...again."

Gu Shen smiled helplessly, but his smile sounded obviously arrogant: "Is this just a shame for a beauty?"

"Sounds like I'm a nuisance."

Chu Ling shook his head.

"Don't worry, I will write a nice report." She smiled: "To prove your physical health...well, and your mental health. By the way, you do look quite handsome when you fight Xu Yan."

…

…

The long street gradually became desolate.

The sealed objects that created the barrier were removed... and the two parties that everyone cared about the most had also been sent away. The crowd of onlookers naturally dispersed, and in the end only the broken courtyard wall remained.

and empty old streets.

Mu's centuries-old ancestral hall looks like a ruined ruin when standing outside the streets.

The head of the Mu family stood silently in front of the collapsed courtyard wall.

Behind him, all the members of the Presbyterian Church bowed their heads and stood in silence. No one dared to make a sound. The scene was eerily silent.

This ancestral hall has experienced six hundred years of wind and rain, and it has been peaceful.

And the collapse happened overnight.

Many people were on tenterhooks, worried about the wrath of the family leader.

However...after waiting for a long time.

The head of the Mu family finally spoke, but there was not much anger.

“When the wall collapses, it can be built again.”

He said this lightly.

Not angry.

But sad.

To put it bluntly, the wall in front of you, no matter how long it has gone through, no matter how deep the cultural heritage and accumulation, is just an ordinary wall. For an extraordinary person, it can be knocked down with just a hand.

The elders who come in and out of this wall.

It would only take dozens of minutes to demolish the entire street.

This wall has collapsed and can be rebuilt.

"But...some things, once they collapse, cannot be rebuilt."

The head of the Mu family looked at the elders behind him and asked sadly: "How long have I been in seclusion? How could you do such a stupid thing?"

Because of Xu Yan and Gu Shen.

The "ugly incident" that originally occurred in this long street was covered up.

Most people don't know why Gu Shen took action or why he took action on this long street.

But he knows.

All this... is because of a ridiculous "engagement".

Mu Ya has been picked up.

The head of the Mu family didn't want to stay, he didn't have the face to stay... Such a thing happened in his clan, and it was not only Mu Ya's heart that was chilled.

Most of the Presbyterian Church fell silent.

But this silence did not last long.

An elder said: "The Mu family... needs a bright way out."

Another elder also said: "If this goes well, we will have a strong enough ally."

The head of the family asked calmly: "Do you think Zhou Jiren will never come back from Piyue City Fortress? Or... do you think Xu Yan will be stronger than Gu Shen in the future?"

These two questions.

The elder who had spoken previously was speechless.

Who would have thought.

That Xu Yan who was blown to the sky... was actually so... vulnerable?

Judging from the battle just now.

He was completely suppressed by Gu Shen.

But...it doesn't look that simple. This guy seems to have done it on purpose.

"If I were Gong Qing, I would be... very disappointed in the Mu family."

The head of the Mu family spoke slowly.

This farce evolved to the end, with so many big shots coming.

Gong Qing was not present.

Obviously...he knows all this.

Not being present is already an attitude.

Because of such a decision, a gap will be created in the close-knit "Gong Mu" family. Walls in this world can be rebuilt when they are torn down, but the gap in the trust relationship cannot be repaired.

"Master of the family... we can't always rely on the Gong family..."

Another elder spoke.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Even if we don't have this opportunity, will the Mu family always maintain such a relationship with the Gong family?"

Nagano is undercurrent now.

All five people are not at peace.

In such a situation, who would be willing to live under others for a long time?

"..."

The head of the Mu family looked around. He saw the faces that were hanging their heads out of fear of him, and he also saw the desire that could not be hidden under these faces.

Feeling a little powerless.

This feeling of powerlessness... comes from the human heart.

In other words, human nature.

The head of the Li family was his good friend, and after his death, the Li family gradually became disillusioned. It was obvious that those in the Li Presbyterian Church began to seek personal gain... As an old friend, I felt very helpless when I saw this scene.

Because he knew that Mu Shi was the same.

In peacetime, it will be like this if it is too comfortable.

These people are not satisfied with what they have now, they want more.

"Let's all... disperse."

The voice of the head of the Mu family was a little sad.

He shook his head and dismissed the council of elders.

And at the end, he extended a hand to save an elder.

He said softly: "Fourth child, tell girl Mu Ya... the Mu family is ashamed of her for this matter. If you have any requests, just make them."

…

…

Xu Yan was carried away.

But he was not sent to a so-called "rescue center."

The vehicle stopped halfway, and according to Zhu Wang's wishes, Xu Yan was transferred... and the new vehicle took Xu Yan to the most remote house in the Snow Forbidden City.

The yard is filled with the aroma of wine.

Han Dang stared expressionlessly at the miserable guy next to him who was covered in blood.

When Xu Yan was pushed to the ground and rubbed by Gu Shen, he was watching in the ancestral hall. The reason why he didn't take action... was certainly not because of Lu Nanjin's knife.

But because he was happy to see Xu Yan get beaten.

The worse he gets beaten.

The more comfortable he felt.

This reversal in the Mu family's ancestral hall... involved himself in it, and the Mu family will definitely cause trouble for him next!

Han Dang carried Xu Yan to the wooden house.

Of course, the treatment methods provided by those medical clinics cannot be compared with those of the God's Throne.

He had already imagined the scene half an hour later. The blood-stained guy in front of him would look brand new by then, put on clean clothes, as if nothing had happened, and would call his senior brother with a smile.

This is really disgusting.

So before sending Xu Yan away, Han Dang stopped.

"Mr. Jin", who stretched out his hands in the darkness to welcome him, frowned and looked at this feminine man in confusion.

"I have something to ask."

Han Dang took a deep breath.

Even though he was mentally prepared, he still felt scared when he looked into the depths of the wooden house.

There seemed to be a black hole within that darkness that could swallow up the spirit.

He looked hard into the darkness and asked seriously: "I agreed... I went to Mu's family to propose marriage. Why did I regret it in the end? Since I never planned to propose marriage, why did I need to come?"

Of course, the most important question is——

"Why were you not notified of these plans in advance?"

Han Dang knew it very well.

Everything Xu Yan did was most likely under the instruction of Dionysus, so everything that happened in Mu's family today... was basically arranged by Dionysus. It's not like he couldn't take the blame.

It's just that things like this are really irritating.

But a soft voice came from the darkness.

The answers to these questions are simple.

"because……"

"No need to inform you."

The outline of the boy who said this was completely hidden behind the dark tide of the wooden house.

It was obviously pitch black.

Nothing can be seen.

But Han Dang's heart suddenly tightened as if someone was holding it with five fingers... Only at this moment did he realize who he was talking to. All the anger accumulated in his chest was wiped out in an instant. , the anger and frustration rose to the end, and finally slowly receded.

Han Dang gritted his teeth and gritted his teeth, unable to fight against the fear in his heart, and handed Xu Yan over.

"You'd better be smarter next time and don't talk such nonsense."

Mr. Jin spoke coldly and reminded Han Dang.

When Han Dang heard this, he felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head.

In the eyes of Dionysus, he, the teacher, and Bai Zesheng are all the same...

They are all chess pieces.

They are just chess pieces with different responsibilities.

Wherever you place the chess pieces, they will do whatever they want.

Other than that, don’t ask, don’t think, just do.

He has no right to ask questions at all.

…

…

In the dark.

Xu Yan lay on the cold wooden floor.

"grown ups……"

He smiled, with blood rolling in his throat, and said softly: "As you expected... Gu Shen attacked me..."

Dionysus nodded slowly.

He stretched out a hand and placed it in front of Xu Yan's face.

Xu Yan closed his eyes.

The cold wooden board gradually became warmer, and the aroma of wine in the darkness gradually became richer and introduced into his nasal cavity. This was a breath that could relax the spirit.

The power of the God's Throne is exerted in a very small wooden house.

Xu Yan's injuries healed at an extremely fast speed.

His sluggish breath also recovered bit by bit.

Tens of breaths later.

Xu Yan opened his eyes again, clenched his fists, and a warm current surged through his body. With the blessing of Lord Dionysian's spiritual power, he regained his vitality.

Although the injury was not fully repaired.

But...this is already a huge change.

In the darkness, Mr. Jin knelt down on one knee, stared solemnly, and observed this incredible miracle.

It was this kind of power that saved me in the tundra snow.

Under the shroud of divine power.

Xu Yan healed his wounds quietly, enjoying the nourishment of this warm divine power.

After a while, his body recovered 80%.

This fight actually just looked tragic.

Because Gu Shen's hypnosis was deflected by Xu Yan's spiritual seal.

After entering the melee combat stage, since both sides had [Full Dodge], most of the moves could be dodged and blocked... so Xu Yan did not suffer really huge blows, such as stumped limbs and broken legs.

Of course, even with such injuries.

Dionysus can still grant "health"...but the fire power that needs to be consumed in that case is completely different from now.

The young man in the darkness withdrew the shrouded divine light.

He spoke softly, "Let me see... what you gained from this trip."

"yes."

Xu Yan knelt down on the ground respectfully. He took a deep breath, slowly raised his head, spread his arms, and stared above with a solemn expression.

"Chi chi chi~~~"

The next moment, wisps of flames seeped out of his body.

If anyone sees this scene... it will be very shocking.

These flames.

It looks... very similar to Gu Shen's "Blazing Fire".

Mr. Jin narrowed his eyes.

When he assassinated Baixiu, he had heard of the name "Gu Shen". The review standards of the three major institutes were extremely strict. He wanted to pass the most difficult test on his own and get the strongest S-level score. It is basically certain that this person is a genius among geniuses.

In the [Deep Sea] file, even Lord God was unable to find out what Gu Shen's true ability was.

There is only the simple word "blazing fire".

Blazing fire?

Natural system? Spiritual system? Or...does it have other special abilities?

This is a question that countless people in Nagano are curious about.

And today, we are about to get the answer.

Because of Xu Yan's ability, he was named [Fire Stealer].

This is the "treasure" that Master God picked up in Central Continent. Xu Yan's ability itself is "nothingness", but as long as it can be used, it means "infinity"... Through physical contact containing extraordinary source matter, he can choose to take the initiative or Passively steal the "extraordinary power" from the target person. Unfortunately, before Lord God takes action to take him away, [Fire Stealer]'s ability traits have been captured by [Deep Sea] and uploaded.

All high-level officials in the five continents knew about the existence of such a transcendent person.

But...it doesn't matter.

Dionysian took action personally and erased Xu Yan's files.

As for Xu Yan's [Fire Stealer], the most terrifying thing is... what he steals is not only the power containing extraordinary source material, but also a part of the spiritual memory.

The reason is that when his extraordinary source material simulation ability is used, he can simulate the host's mental fluctuations.

And that "portrait of a woman" in the small courtyard...

That's what Xu Yan's spirit saw.

After following Mr. Dionysus to Nagano, the first thing he did was to investigate all the noteworthy people in this ancient city... Xu Yan would not risk contact with those who were too powerful, but the young ones Genius, Xu Yan basically tried to take action and completed the "stealing".

And it's worth mentioning.

Bai Lu, a woman from the Bai family, rarely went out. Xu Yan found an opportunity to steal Bai Lu's abilities through the information provided by Bai Zesheng.

So... he also saw the scene of "Under the Ninghe Bridge" in the blur.

In fact, the complete picture he saw was not just Chu Ling, a woman.

And Gu Shen fell off the bridge.

But...in order to anger Gu Shen, he just drew Chu Ling alone.

In fact, Xu Yan was also very curious about the identity of that stunning girl who only existed in Bai Lu's mental images.

Why have I never heard of it in Nagano?

What he is more curious about is...

Why can that guy named Gu be more closed-minded than Bai Lu?

For half a year, there was no chance to have any contact, let alone contact, not even a chance to meet!

but.

Now it has been successfully "contacted".

In order not to attract the attention of Gu Shen, a high-risk person, Xu Yan planned this plot under the arrangement of the Dionysus... He was willing to be beaten, and at the same time he stole the flowing lines of the extraordinary source of "blazing fire".

At this moment, the dark room slowly glowed.

Xu Yan began to simulate the birth of "Blazing Fire".
