Barrier of Light

After several hours of sailing, fifteen airships finally sailed from the Central City to the entrance of the "Doru River Disaster", which is located on the western defense line of Beizhou, an extremely remote place outside the Great Wall.

It's snowing heavily.

It's freezing cold.

All the extraordinary ones are ready.

The airship sailed into the disaster situation and hovered slowly. At this time, Zhong Yuan walked out of the gravity chamber, and Gu Shen also ended his spiritual practice.

Looking down from a high altitude, what comes into view is an unprecedentedly large river.

Gu Shen was born in the Qinghe District of Dongzhou. The reason for this district name is that the entire area is built next to the Qinghe River... The Qinghe River is already majestic and incomparably majestic. The natural wonders are comparable to those in front of you. Compared with the Dolu River, it is still not enough.

A dark river runs through the world of ice and snow!

This river is thousands of meters wide, and there is no end in sight... It is more like a giant lake or the Dead Sea than a river. Contrary to the turbulent flow of the Qinghe River, the black water of the Dolu River does not flow and looks full of death.

Gu Shen silently held the pendant.

Now that he has actually arrived at the Dolu River, the warning of this pendant has disappeared... I think he came to this gadget because he knew that dissuasion was useless and could only accept the current situation.

A jolt.

Osmond's face was reflected on the main control screen linked to the airship. The Eye of the Third Legion had a serious expression and a low voice, which echoed in everyone's ears.

"Captains, we have arrived at the disaster situation. Everything is going well and we can proceed as planned."

There are more than ten branches in the Dolu River disaster area.

If you want to find the location of the [Gate], you must check the surrounding environment of these river branches... A super-large disaster like this that is rich in extraordinary sources must have an entrance to absorb the energy of the old world.

For these elite extraordinary beings who are performing the restart mission, it should not be difficult to find the [Gate].

Just when we set foot in this disaster situation, the mental toxins have already begun to spread——

The difficult thing is how to complete the task as quickly and efficiently as possible and reduce injuries!

In addition to the command boat, the belly compartments of the fourteen airships were opened one after another, and the fourteen elite teams were ready to set off at any time. Some were impatient... For example, Mu Wanqiu of the Survey Corps Team 1, who served as the captain this time, was the first person when the airship docked. When the time came, he led his team members and headed straight for the Dolu River deep in the disaster area!

…

…

"All team members... put on source armor, check the energy source, and prepare to go!"

The members of Zhongyuan's team had already completed their preparations, and immediately completed the formation and prepared to leave the belly cabin. The blond man standing at the door of the cabin took a deep breath.

He glanced back at the team and was a little surprised to see Gu Shen.

"Brother Gu, do you want to go with us?"

For this restart mission, during the training and preparations in the past few days, each captain received instructions from the commander... They all had their own tasks that needed to be completed.

But there are exceptions.

One is Gu Shen.

The other one is the Grand Duke Zhenyue, Meng Xiao.

These two people may have other tasks... His Majesty has given extremely high authority, and Meng Xiao and Gu Shen do not need to follow Osmond's arrangements. Of course, this does not mean that they can act arbitrarily in a disaster situation.

Gu Shen smiled and said, "Brother Zhong, don't you welcome me?"

"Of course it's not..."

Zhong Yuan shook his head and hesitated: "It's just..."

While the airship was sailing, Zhong Yuan stayed in the gravity room for training throughout the entire journey. Gu Shen knew that this was something he was worried about.

"Are you going to look for the Mountain of Mirror Dreams you saw earlier?" Gu Shen gently rubbed two fingers between his eyebrows, igniting a small flame. He smiled and said, "Brother Zhongyuan...I I'm also very interested in 'Jingmeng'. It would be good for you and me if we could go together."

See the flames on Gu Shen's fingertips.

Several team members felt warmth in their hearts.

Although this wisp of fire is small, it exudes a reassuring spiritual aura.

Zhong Yuan's originally tense look has softened a lot... Indeed, although the effect of Gu Shen's S-level ability is unknown, it is of great help to mental dreams. If Gu Shen joins in, it will definitely be beneficial.

"Captain...Zhenyue's group hasn't set off yet."

Yuan Yuan glanced at an airship not far away and whispered: "Mr. Xiao Gu, it would be better to join us."

Zhong Yuan was so smart that he immediately understood the meaning of Yuan Yuan's message.

In the past few days at the training ground, all teams have been busy training.

Rumors were flying all over the sky, and he had naturally heard about them... If Gu Shen was really walking alone, Zhen Yue's group would probably wait until they entered the disaster situation to find another opportunity to cause trouble for Gu Shen.

Because of the [Mirror Dream] trouble, he was restless and had not thought of it before.

"I was negligent." Zhong Yuan looked solemn and said a little apologetically: "If Brother Gu doesn't mind it, please go forward with us... This time we step into a disaster situation, good or bad is uncertain, and there are also differences between us. Take care of me.”

…

…

"Sir, they are setting off."

Zhenyue sat in the boat.

Along the way, like Gu Shen, he meditated and practiced hard, sharpening his spirit...while fighting against the ominous thoughts in his heart.

The bracelet, when setting off, kept flashing and was presented to him.

Making myself uneasy.

Of course Meng Xiao knew that something bad would happen if he stepped into a disaster situation this time.

It's just that there are so many pictures... one after another, after reading them all, it's very tiring. Although this sealed object is against the heavens, it also has its shortcomings. If these "disaster divination" are corrected in time, they can be nipped in the bud and eliminated.

In other words, what Meng Xiao has to do is to solve the ominous things seen in the disaster divination.

Avoid the worst scenes, for real!

But if you do this, it will be equivalent to changing your "fate"... After all, the future picture provided by this bracelet is just a certain "possibility" leading to disaster.

Some, will happen. Some, not so much.

"lets go."

Meng Xiao stood up slowly and said calmly: "No need to worry, just follow them from a distance and determine their destination."

…

…

"Sir Osmond, all fourteen teams have been dispatched."

Lin Lin looked at the flashing white dots on the main control map and the split-screen recording on the side.

Because of this disaster situation, the spiritual network that has just been conquered... [Deep Sea] has not yet had time to be laid, so one of the main tasks this time is to form a stable connection with the surrounding area.

Each captain uses his own strong spirit to stabilize the "link" and establish feedback in real time.

The remaining team members are responsible for completing the surrounding scenes.

According to the original plan, these teams were supposed to explore a certain branch of the Dolu River...

However, Lin Lin discovered a strange signal on the main control screen.

"What's going on here...Meng Xiao?"

He narrowed his eyes.

on the map.

Meng Xiao's trajectory almost coincides with that of Zhong Yuan's team... Anyone who is not blind can see that he is following Zhong Yuan's team!

However, the Zhenyue team obviously slowed down. It was obvious that they did not want Zhong Yuan to find out!

"Calm down."

Osmond slowly poured a cup of tea and said slowly: "Meng Xiao is a privileged person with the 'right to move freely'. His entire team was selected by default... We don't need to worry about that much." , as long as he does not violate military discipline or sabotage the operation."

"What does it mean?"

Lin Lin refused the cup of tea offered.

"Calm down...how can I be calm?" Lin Lin said coldly, "Can't you tell what this guy is going to do?"

Osmond wasn't angry either.

He served the tea himself, took a small sip, and laughed heartily: "Heh..."

"What you said before landing in the disaster area, Xiaolin, you said very well."

Osmond raised one eye and looked directly at the young man in front of him slowly and forcefully, "You said before that there are many people who no longer care about 'reputation', especially those extraordinary people outside Beizhou... They just Care about 'living'. Although you are stationed in the fortress, you can see the changes in the wind direction of the entire world, which is really gratifying, but don't think that I am really an old blind man."

Lin Lin was stunned.

"Although I am blind, I can still see some things clearly."

"Due to the will of the God's Throne, each continent has different spiritual practices... As you said before, except for Beizhou, many people no longer pursue the name of glorious heroes."

Osmond said calmly: "And Meng Xiao is such a follower. He is tough, decisive in killing, conquering fiefdoms, and acting vigorously... Such a person will naturally not tolerate being a thorn in the side or a thorn in the flesh, and he will try every means to do so. We need to get rid of him. Although I don’t know what the conflict is between him and Gu Shen, but to think that he could do such a thing is already incompatible with each other, and there is hidden murderous intention."

"Since your Excellency has noticed... why are you unmoved?" Lin Lin said solemnly: "Are you going to watch the two teams collide?"

"Xiao Lin, my mission is to be responsible for the successful completion of the restart mission... I can give orders to the team leader, but for 'privileged people' like Gu Shen and Meng Xiao, I have no command authority." Osmond said leisurely: " What's more, is there any problem with the route he is taking now? There are many branches of the river and there are many exploration teams, so it is inevitable that he will take a 'similar path'."

Lin Lin stood up suddenly.

"If you want to leave, I won't stop you...but you can think carefully about the meaning of my previous words."

Osmond smiled and said, "Then think about... Gu Shen's identity."

Lin Lin frowned.

Gu Shen's... identity?

"This Mr. Gu, although he is from the Eastern Continent, is an honored guest from the Northern Continent... He was invited by the Queen to come to the disaster area." Osmond asked slowly: "Do you know the purpose of his coming? What is it?"

Lin Lin was silent. He had been busy practicing these days, and although he and Gu Shen were in the same building, they had no intersection.

Farewell to the old castle.

He really didn't know what Gu Shen and his sister talked about.

It's just that... what the privileged people have to do is probably completely different from the main body of the restart mission.

Take a deep breath.

Lin Lin sat back again and said sincerely: "Excuse me, please make it more clear."

"Although I am the commander, I took over temporarily. I only had a conversation with the general and the commander of the regiment, and did not go to the castle to meet the queen. So I will never know anything you don't know."

Osmond said calmly: "I only know a few things. First, the Queen has always had the ability to foresee, see the future, and make plans. If she invites Mr. Gu, she will not let his life be threatened easily." .”

"Two, we act under orders. If things happen without reason, we must not act without permission. We should take the overall situation into consideration."

"Third, the iron rule of Beizhou is that you must not harm your colleagues outside the fortress... Once discovered, you must kill them."

The third legion's eyes lowered his eyes and looked at the reflection of his slightly older face in the tea cup, and asked softly: "If Zhen Yue really violated the law, wouldn't it be a good thing at this stage?"

Lin Lin fell into deep thought.

"Ten thousand steps back, if Meng Xiao wanted to attack Gu Shen... he would not choose this time. If you rush here now, it is a waste of effort and in vain." Osmond said calmly: "The spiritual link is still established. Smooth, we can see both Zhong Yuan’s sight and the scene from Zhen Yue’s side…”

"What you mean is that we have to wait until we get deeper into the disaster situation and the link is disconnected."

Lin Lin looked at the white spots in the main control room that were gradually moving away from the command boat. The scope of this disaster was huge... There were already some teams, and the signal was vaguely unstable.

"But at that time, we have no way of knowing what happened."

Lin Lin was still worried.

If Meng Xiao wants to take action... what should Gu Shen do?

"Xiao Lin...you are still young."

Osmond smiled slightly, stretched out a finger, pointed at his head, and said honestly: "When looking at things, you have to look at the essence. Who are behind Meng Xiao and Gu Shen?"

Lin Lin's pupils shrank slightly.

"Behind Gu Shen stands the new fighting god from Nagano."

"Meng Xiao...I can smell the scent of Guangming City from eight hundred miles away."

Osmond twisted the teacup hard and slowly turned it.

In a daze, his "remnant pupils" covered in black cloth seemed to see more than one bright face, which was a sacred "face" that was either shrouded in mist or wrapped in light.

"If the two of them really fight...then it will even trigger the 'God's Coming'." Osmond said softly: "At this time, who will decide the outcome?"

"Neither light nor fighting...but our Majesty the Queen."

Osmond raised his head, his gaze penetrated the command boat and looked upward into the distance.

"You should know very well...whose side His Majesty will be on. At this point, aren't you still reassured?"

The iron dome above the disaster area of ​​the Dolu River was gray and white.

The lead clouds in the sky seem to have been dyed by the river and turned into such a dark ink color.

And this layer of ink is wrapped in a transparent "crystal ball".

The second floor of the castle.

The woman sitting on the throne stretched out her palm and gently covered the entire "disaster" in her palm.

The sky is dark.

Not as white as the snow in the center of the furnace.
