Barrier of Light

In the main hall, pairs of scarlet eyes opened.

These withered bones have a familiar feeling of deja vu... Behind the [door] where Meng Xiao was, there was a similar aura of disaster!

"Buzz buzz!"

A strong sense of crisis came.

Before Gu Shen had time to speak, Mu Wanqiu had already rushed forward with a knife. This woman was a real fighting madman. When she stepped into the main hall, she never thought about retreating.

A huge snow-white ghost appeared behind me!

One knife!

Mu Wanqiu aimed at the hanging skeleton in front of him and wiped across it——

"Hiss!"

The sword flashed like a rainbow, directly cutting the hanging silver thread into two pieces!

Mu Wanqiu drew her sword and rushed forward, and the bones behind her fell to the ground. However, after the seemingly fragile bones touched the ground, instead of breaking, they landed firmly.

The tall skeleton did not turn back to chase Mu Wanqiu, but instead pulled out a bone spur from the darkness and stabbed Gu Shen in front of him.

"...% @!"

Cold sweat broke out on Gu Shen's forehead.

This crazy woman previously said she would stand behind her during the fight, but when the fight started, she didn't care what happened behind her!

Gu Shen suddenly tilted his head, the strong wind blasting beside his ears.

The bone spur rubbed against his cheek, piercing out dangerously.

How long have these guys been dead and they are still conscious?

Gu Shen's expression was gloomy. Before the bone spurs were cut away, he stretched out two fingers very quickly and tapped on the forearm of the tall skeleton——

One tap!

The crisp snapping sound burst out, which was somewhat pleasant to the ear.

A wisp of blazing fire was attached to Gu Shen's fingertips, and the tall skeletal forearm was exploded by the bullet, and was thrown heavily into the distance.

But it didn't feel any pain at all. The other hand had already been raised and was now slapping Gu Shen's head hard!

"Looking for death, I will grant you my wish."

The fire in Gu Shen's eyes flashed away.

He lowered his head in an instant, leaned closer, and pressed his palm heavily on the chest of the tall skeleton!

"Click..."

This sound is the real sound of bones breaking!

Fire breaks out.

This tall skeleton was shattered from the chest to pieces!

On the other side, Mu Wanqiu ran into the pile of scarlet water with a knife. Her knife skills were extremely fierce, opening and closing, and these dead bones were chopped to the ground...

"wrong."

Gu Shen vaguely felt something was wrong.

These skeletons seem to have average lethality.

But why does it bring such a strong sense of danger to myself?

Before he could think any more, the strange whispering sound appeared again in Gu Shen's mental sea.

"Buzz buzz-"

This voice directly aroused the vibration in the heart.

Gu Shen raised his head.

The dark hall was filled with scarlet pupils, which shot at him expressionlessly, like beams of light, locked on himself and Mu Wanqiu...

His shattered skull.

As well as the broken bones cut open by Mu Wanqiu, they all seemed to be connected by silk threads.

These "dead" have long since passed away, and no one knows why they were placed here... But what is certain is that they still have a ray of spirit left, and this ray of spirit is the biggest crisis!

The scarlet light falls.

Mu Wanqiu's killing speed became "slow". She slashed with a knife and danced among the skeletons. The [Judge] took out a large flag from the huge sleeve robe and danced desperately... but could not stop her. The illumination of those scarlet pupils.

There seemed to be a storm in the spiritual sea.

Keep brewing, brewing.

Finally bloomed.

…

…

"kill!"

Gu Shen was awakened by a thick roar.

He raised his head in shock. In front of him was still the tall and deep main hall, but the difference was that the main hall at this moment was illuminated by countless streams of light...

This place is like a battlefield.

"Rumble, rumble—"

Guns roared.

There are also heavy weapons, and countless bullets of strong logic pour out.

At this moment, Gu Shen suddenly understood.

The cross pendant wants to remind itself that the real crisis is not those skeletons wearing heavy armor!

It’s their spirits floating around here!

When he saw this scene, the scarlet eyes in the hall had successfully dragged him into a dream!

"This is?"

Gu Shen was a little confused.

One after another, figures rushed out from beside him, drew their swords, and summoned extraordinary power, burning ice and fire together.

It seems that he has become a member of the "skeletons" during his lifetime. Now he has flesh and blood, and he even wants to rush to the end of this hall with them!

He lowered his head and looked at the heavy armor he was wearing and the fiery marks engraved on the armor's forearms, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

This mark is the mark of Guangming City!

He understood everything immediately...these skeletons were the Holy Judges of the City of Light during their lifetimes!

They are attacking the Hall of Hades now!

After coming into contact with Pluto's fire, Gu Shen tried to understand the past of Pluto. Unfortunately, the history of twenty years ago could not be found in the Wuzhou database... It was not because of insufficient authority, but because The real "secret" will never be recorded.

But Gu Shen knew.

Twenty years ago, a battle broke out between Guangming City and Hades.

This was a "victory" for the City of Light, and then Pluto fell.

History is written by the victors.

This past period will naturally be recorded in history by the winner.

"These skeletons were all 'Holy Judges' when they were alive..."

Gu Shen was startled.

If it were said that he had been pulled into the dream of the Holy Judge, he was currently in the team attacking Pluto.

So is it possible to use this old dream from twenty years ago to get a glimpse of what Pluto looked like back then?

next moment!

A huge wave of spiritual thoughts came from the end of this profound hall.

"boom--"

The heavy weapons set up by the Legion of Holy Judges were shattered to pieces in an instant, and debris exploded all over the sky, along with the extraordinary ones charging at the front.

In this fluctuation, Gu Shen felt the aura of "Underworld Fire".

That is the true, great underworld fire!

He subconsciously raised his head, wanting to see what Pluto looked like twenty years ago... But he was disappointed. These holy judges were not qualified to see Pluto's "true face" at all.

After a wave of spiritual thoughts, the sword was shattered into pieces and the heavy cannon was destroyed.

Just for a moment.

Gu Shen was crushed directly. He felt as if his soul and body were separated and out of body...

Is this what "death" feels like?

The question briefly surfaced in the spiritual sea.

But Chihuo gave Gu Shen the answer.

This is not death.

But... another kind of "eternal life".

Pluto directly defeated the "Holy Judges" who came to attack him with a ray of divine will, and then adopted a "cruel" method. He knocked out the souls of these Holy Judges who were charging forward.

And the "Holy Judge" who was dragging Gu Shen into sleep at this moment was one of them.

Thanks to him.

Gu Shen really felt what it was like to have his bones and skin ripped out by Pluto for once.

His soul was thrown out uncontrollably, and the sound of rumbling river water rang in his ears.

It turns out that twenty years ago, the River Styx was not as dead as it is now.

Falling and flying with him, there were hundreds of souls of the Holy Judge.

Their bodies were crushed.

Their spirits are preserved.

Falling into the River Styx is a kind of eternal life for the dead who believe in Hades.

But for these "Holy Judges", it is a torture ten thousand times more terrifying than death.

In the black river, there seemed to be a throne standing high.

The tall figure entrenched on the throne was magnified countless times under the reflection of the mist of the long river, almost as high as the sky. He waved his sleeves lightly, and the river swallowed up these souls.

Crush, resuscitate.

Crush and resuscitate.

This River Styx is the real battlefield.

Pluto granted the Holy Judge "eternal life" and then imprisoned those who intended to kill gods to the real hell. For these mortals, there was only one reason that supported them in raising their swords to the throne of God.

belief.

And the way to destroy this belief is extremely simple.

That is to let them face death and endure reincarnation again and again...

Pluto looked down at the scene in the river, his face obscured by thick fog. Although he did not speak, Gu Shen felt the will conveyed by this dark god to those who fell into the River of Styx.

It is actually very simple to find relief.

Just spit on the light.

As a member of the "Falled into the River Styx", the Holy Judge also suffered cruel torture.

At this moment, Gu Shen was forced to "empathize".

In his mind, the life of this Holy Judge kept flashing through his mind.

In this life, there are always people you care about.

Images of relatives, loved ones, heirs, and colleagues appeared in the mind of the Holy Inquisitor... Under the shroud of the Styx, the Holy Inquisitor's spirit was distorted, and he could only watch the faces in his mind wither. , broken, withered.

In the beginning, he was very determined.

But as the Styx washed away his memory again and again, it pierced the soft spots in his heart again and again.

The pain keeps piling up...

He began to waver.

He gradually "believed" that all of this was real, and that the thing that caused him to endure such sin was "light".

Gu Shen watched all this silently.

The previous Pluto's methods were too terrifying, and these Holy Judges began to collapse one after another.

Although he is just a [bystander], his spirit has also been impacted. If other extraordinary people with weak willpower fall into this dream, at this time, they are likely to be unable to distinguish between dreams and reality, and they will be confused with each other. The Holy Judge becomes one person.

And the final outcome... is of course a mental breakdown.

Gu Shen looked at the boiling River Styx, the rich aura of death, and the Holy Inquisitors who believed in the light but ended up having a mental breakdown.

History records the victory of Guangming City.

But there is no record of the sacrifices of these holy judges...

A painful reluctance suddenly emerged in Gu Shen's heart.

At the last moment of his collapse, the Holy Judge he possessed still believed in light and was unwilling to succumb to Pluto's methods, but in "him"'s heart, a ray of resentment arose uncontrollably.

This long river of Styx, endless torture.

Until he collapsed, he never saw the "Throne of Light" he believed in.

"Bang" sound!

The Holy Judge's soul exploded and was swallowed up by the River Styx, without even a single wave splashing.

Gu Shen lost his attachment.

He did not leave the dream. After the death of the Holy Judge, this nightmare should have ended.

But, no.

An inexplicable force pulled him.

This dream did not end there.

For the dreamer, the real torture only begins after the "Holy Judge" dies.

He is no longer anyone else but himself.

On the throne at the end of the River Styx.

The tall and towering dark figure leaned forward slightly, as if he wanted to put the weight of the whole world on Gu Shen.

Gu Shen subconsciously raised his head.

He looked at the majestic figure at the far end of the long river.

On Pluto's blurry face shrouded in mist, there were two familiar scarlet pupils, which gradually ignited and finally shot straight out and fell on him.

Familiar figures began to appear one after another in Gu Shen's mind.

Mother-in-law... Chu Ling...

Teacher...brother and sister...

Crow...Gu Nanfeng...Little Iron Man...

He knew that this was the method used to torture and deal with the "Holy Judge".

Next, this set will be used on myself.

The real murderous intention originally started from here... When the Holy Judge dies, the "Pluto" in the dream will cast his gaze on the dreamer. The scarlet gaze in the hall is what Pluto left for the dead body of the Holy Judge. Cursed, these people who believe in light will work for Pluto after "death", taking their resentment to kill all intruders who set foot in Pluto's palace.

Gu Shen did not dodge, but continued to stare at Hades.

The mighty black wind at the end of the long river swept through the entire nightmare.

Gu Shen suddenly smiled.

"One of our own."

He stretched out his fingers, gently touched a faint flame between his eyebrows, and spoke softly to Pluto on the throne: "I also hate 'light', the light of the City of Light."
