Barrier of Light

Mu Wanqiu's ability [Judge]... is actually somewhat similar to the "Power of Hades".

Even Gu Shen doubted whether this ability had something to do with him?

The elevator arrived at Gu Shen's floor.

"Captain Lu, do you want to sit at my place?" Gu Shen extended the invitation.

"No, no, no..."

Lu Zhe waved his hands repeatedly: "Xiao Gu, you didn't even look at the time. It's two o'clock in the night... I'll go sit with you. If others find out, how will they spread the word?"

Gu Shen was slightly startled.

Lu Zhe raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully: "What happened tonight, if I were Mu Wanqiu... I wouldn't open the door. After all, we only met once."

"No, no, no."

Gu Shen's head suddenly felt heavy, and then he realized that Chu Ling in his mind had been silent for a while.

He quickly said: "Stop talking... I'm afraid of misunderstanding."

"What are you afraid of? There is no third person here!"

Lu Zhe yawned and winked: "You should go back first. Don't worry, I will keep your visit to Mu Wanqiu late at night... I will keep it a secret for you."

Gu Shen left the elevator.

Zhong Yuan has also left, and he is the only one left in such a big room.

A bad premonition arose in his heart.

Spiritually linked to Ling Ling Yao Carriage.

Gu Shen made a fist with one hand, put it in front of his lips, and coughed lightly.

Chu Ling held the picture book and was immersed in reading alone. Without raising her head, she asked lightly: "Master Gu, why are you free to come here tonight?"

The irony in this sentence was too obvious to Gu Shenke.

He smiled awkwardly and said: "I made a mistake..."

"The mistake was that Mu Wanqiu didn't open the door?" Chu Ling closed the thick book, raised his head and said quietly.

After she finished speaking, even she felt surprised.

I am just an AI living in a virtual mental network. Have I learned to be "jealous" at this moment?

However, is this... jealousy?

Although she pretended to be reading a book, she actually didn't miss a word of the conversation between Lu Zhe and Gu Shen in the elevator.

Mu Wanqiu's [Judge] is a perfect match for Hades.

When he heard this, Chu Ling felt a strange emotion in his heart.

She was supposed to be aloof, without love or hatred.

But when there is concern, sustenance, and hope in my heart... other emotions appear.

Chewing it carefully, the emotions in my heart are a little sour.

"My mistake was that this trip to Beizhou was too hasty and I didn't wait until you could form your body again at the 'Shenci Mountain'." Gu Shen sat opposite Chu Ling, suppressed his smile, and said seriously: "I should take you to Beizhou with me. Continent, so that these unscrupulous people who have never seen the world can see what is extraordinary grace, what is the beauty of the Five Continents, what is the immortal descending to the earth..."

"Stop it, stop it!"

Chu Ling quickly stopped him. This guy was getting more and more disgusting as he talked. If he didn't stop him, he wouldn't know where he was going.

"Actually, I'm not angry either. This matter has been revealed." Chu Ling sighed softly, "I heard what Lu Zhe said just now, and I vaguely felt that... Mu Wanqiu's [Judge] might be related to your 'Tinder' There is some connection.”

"indeed."

Gu Shen's expression became serious: "Do you think it's a coincidence?"

"The 'river poison' in the Dolu River disaster has the same source as the power of Pluto..." He murmured: "Does this mean that Pluto has left some means in the disaster?"

“Not only do I think it’s a coincidence, I also think it’s weird.”

Chu Ling raised a finger and said seriously: "Do you still remember the conversation you had with the Queen on the second floor? She said that she spent a lot of mental energy to fight against the Dolu River disaster... If we just resolve the Isn’t the mental toxin left behind by Pluto too unreasonable? Can a dead throne really be so powerful that even the Queen of Beizhou has to pay such a high price to barely cope with it?!"

"Um……"

Gu Shen also fell into memories.

The furnace was running when he met the Queen on the second floor.

The Queen's mental energy consumption is indeed huge...

Could it be that there was something else consuming her energy in the disaster?

"Mu Wanqiu's dream and Zhong Yuan's 'mirror dream'...may not be the same dream." Gu Shen said slowly: "The reason why she refused Lu Zhe to enter the dream was just to keep it a secret."

"Yes, I think so too."

Chu Ling said solemnly: "As for the secret she wants to hide, what secret it is... I'm afraid we won't know it before entering the Dolu River."

…

…

Sleepless night.

Gu Shen's spiritual practice was stuck at a critical bottleneck.

He tried to create his own "Summer Breathing" to break the bottleneck... but found that his accumulated knowledge was still a bit lacking. The second volume of breathing method was not something that could be created casually.

Breaking through the realm twice is already comparable to that of a heavenly being.

Three times was unprecedented. Even Dou Zhan Baizhu thought... Gu Shen had little hope of breaking through three times.

When you are exercising your spirit, time flies by very quickly.

As soon as I open my eyes.

It was already dawn.

Gu Shen let out a long breath. He stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking at himself reflected in the mirror. A wisp of fire struggled hard between his eyebrows, and was tightly tied by the golden hoop...

It’s much better than at the beginning!

At least he can use part of the power of "Blazing Fire"!

But if you want to break free on your own strength... it's not enough. It's really difficult to break through three times.

At this moment, there was a knocking sound outside the room door.

"Mr. Xiao Gu, how was your resting place last night?"

Azhaer stood at the door with a smile on her face. The waiter robot beside her pushed the dining cart, which contained Beizhou's classic breakfast... This time it was not the Lieba from the Kubao Fortress who was so hard that it could be used as a cannonball.

"Black tea, oatmeal, omelette, cottage cheese, grilled chicken breast..."

Gu Shen smiled and said, "It's so rich. Thank you, Azha'er."

"No need to thank me, it was Fisher who placed the order for you." Azhaer stroked his temples, "The thirty-third floor is the cafeteria. Except for him, the other captains don't like to eat in the restaurant... He I specially ordered these for you, saying that I would like to treat you to a taste of Beizhou’s real delicacies.”

[Live Fish] Normally guarding the Deep Scale Fortress, I must be eating Leba every day until I vomit... This time, I finally got to come to Central City for a while to retreat. Gu Shen probably understands why Fisher went to have a meal. .

However, he was really puzzled and asked: "Speaking of which, Fisher is wearing that thing on his head...can he really eat?"

Azhaer pursed his lips and smiled.

"He is a top spiritual powerhouse... As long as he is willing, he can change the shape of the food on the table with just a thought. The source armor has a unique food delivery tube."

Azhaer clicked his tongue and said, "But the food that enters the mouth through the delivery tube should taste a little worse, but I think he eats it very well."

"I see……"

Gu Shen suddenly realized, and immediately asked: "Then does he eat seafood?"

"..."

The smile on Azha'er's face suddenly froze: "It should be... not eating, right?"

After Fisher's awakening, he became more and more like a fish... The reason why he guards Deep Scale City is because of his ability. He is almost invincible in water battles. In addition, he can also communicate spiritually with aquatic creatures.

"There is something I need to inform you about."

A'zhaer said seriously: "The meeting of Duke Zhuxue will probably end the day after tomorrow... Within three days, the list of people to restart the task will be selected. In addition to the seven exempted people in the building, there will also be several strong people When you become a 'captain', you will be divided into teams at that time, and the captains will select their favorite players."

"Squad...do these things you are talking about have anything to do with me?"

Gu Shen chewed the juicy chicken breast and spoke slowly: "Her Majesty the Queen told me that I don't need to obey anyone or follow any team..."

"Yes. You don't need to make any preparations before dividing into teams...these captains have no right to order you."

Azhaer nodded, "But after we are divided into teams, we will arrange sparring and training. The Legion Commander asked me to come over and ask about your wishes."

When he heard about sparring and training... Gu Shen immediately thought of the temporary special training in front of the Gubao Fortress.

"Last night, at the meeting held by Grand Duke Zhuxue, it was announced that you would join the restart mission. This matter has triggered heated discussions."

Azhaer said helplessly: "Although there are many famous generals who have met you on the giant wall of the Fortress... But this time the mission is restarted, the privileges you enjoy still arouse the dissatisfaction of many people."

Gu Shen took a sip of black tea.

"Beizhou believes in force, and the generals respect His Majesty's choice, but they still have doubts about you..."

Having said this, Gu Shen slowly raised his hand, indicating that Azhaer did not need to continue talking.

He put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "I understand what you mean. I'd better participate in the sparring and training after the team is divided and show my strength...otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public, right?"

"Yes."

Azhaer sighed softly. It was really hard to say this, so it was best to let Gu Shen understand it.

"In addition, I have something to give to Mr. Xiao Gu."

She pulled out a list.

"List of exempt candidates."

Gu Shen did not refuse, but took it and briefly browsed the following. Last night, he had obtained this list by his own means. The list given by Azhaer was not the same as what he got. Big difference.

"This is the list I got after asking His Majesty for instructions."

Azhaer said sincerely: "Mr. Xiao Gu, Zhenyue Grand Duke Meng Xiao, is also the 'captain' selected for the restart mission. At this moment, he is in this building. As far as I know, he will stay there most of the time." In the gravity room on the thirty-sixth floor... I hope this news is useful to you."

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes.

The apostle came in person to tell the news... Is this in the hope that the conflicts between the two can be reduced and friction avoided?

It seems that His Majesty does not want to encounter Meng Xiao.

"Don't worry, I don't have time to trouble him."

Gu Shen said calmly: "Tell me again about the detachment..."
