Barrier of Light

"Senior Bai Shu...what happened more than twenty years ago?"

Gu Shen's questioning voice echoed in the wilderness.

After a long time, Bai Shu spoke: "Li Rou, was once a member of the Ancient Literature Society. She was Alan Turing's assistant."

The three words "Gu Wenhui" fell into the lake of my heart, causing ripples.

Gu Shen raised his head.

He fell into silence... The identity of his "key" is currently kept extremely confidential and is not known to outsiders.

But Master Qianye knows, and Mr. Gu Changzhi knows, which actually means that the current Bai Shu also knows.

Bai Shu didn't reveal anything.

"For the Supreme Court, the truth about Alan Turing's death is not a secret." Bai Shu said: "Back then, the Federation announced the 'bad news' to the outside world and secretly launched a secret investigation into the Ancient Literature Society. After learning about the news, Alan Turing decided to go north, trying to cross the huge wall of the fortress and go to the [old world] where order was broken."

"In the end, he succeeded."

Bai Shu paused for a second, looked at the quiet woman lying in the coffin, and said: "It's just that in order to escort him to leave safely, many people... paid the price with their lives, and the hidden threads of the Guwen Society were also exposed in large numbers. In Ai After Lun Turing escaped, the Supreme Council sent Gu Changzhi to hunt him down. After transferring "Dou Zhan" away from Wuzhou, the parliament began to purge the ancient literature society. During the time when Gu Changzhi left Wuzhou, the ancient literature society was once flourishing. It will be uprooted directly.”

"Li Rou is the last 'dead soldier' ​​who escorted Turing out of the Beizhou Barrier."

Bai Shu said in a hoarse voice: "Although I had achieved great success in [Reverse Time] back then, I still carried too many heavy burdens on my shoulders. In any case, the Bai family could not be involved in the investigation turmoil of the 'Ancient Literature Society', so no matter how worried I was, I , and can't take action... This pursuit battle finally spread to Beizhou, and the news I got is that on the last night before Turing left, the Sky Goddess sent the strongest [Apostle] under the Tower of Source."

There was a long pause.

"Perhaps if I could have left everything behind and rushed to the battlefield, everything would have been different."

Old things, broken history, accompanied by the last sigh... were slowly spoken by Baizhu.

A few words.

There wasn't even much sadness in his voice.

But Gu Shen knew that in the past twenty years, Baizhu's heart had long been filled with regret and guilt... But time is the most terrifying thing in the world, it can erase everything.

When true sadness is revealed, only plainness remains.

th.

Even if Bai Shu goes back ten thousand times, he can't go back to the past where he regrets the most.

"Then what?"

Gu Shen looked at Baizhu, he wanted to know the ending of that year.

"Then……"

Bai Shu was in a trance for a moment and said: "Turing crossed the high wall of Beizhou and left this 'ungrateful land'... After that night, Li Rou became a 'loser of control'. Zhou Jiren brought her back, and from then on After that, she was no longer 'Li Rou', but 'A-009'."

Gu Shen looked at the woman in formal dress in the coffin, and a touch of sadness welled up in his heart.

He probably guessed the reason why Li Rou lost control. On the last night, Li Rou wanted to help Turing escape. She had to stop the Sky [Apostle], so she used the "Ruler of Truth", which caused the spiritual sea to overdraw and collapse.

Before Pluto left the Five Continents, he left the "ruler" in this world... Although I don't know what happened in the middle and what the specific cause and effect were, what is certain is that after going round and round, this ruler was delivered to Li Soft hands.

And over the years.

A-009's spirit collapsed and his consciousness was shattered, but he still remembered to find the owner of the "Ruler of Truth".

This news is also consistent with another guess in Gu Shen's mind.

That is the true identity of boy "031"——

Help people.

Gu Shen was basically certain that his teacher was "031" who appeared as a young man in the conference room, because only he could protect "A-009" and the "Ruler of Truth" so thoughtfully... After Mr. Gu Changzhi left After that, the Grand Adjudicator of Dongzhou was one of the few people who held the highest authority on this land.

Therefore, it was no accident that I stepped into Ling Ling Yao and met Chu Ling in the spiritual connection.

Zhou Jiren had found him long ago.

He arranged everything... arranged the meeting between A-009 and himself, arranged the donation of the Rule of Truth, and arranged the candidate for the next president of the Ancient Literature Society. Under the supervision of the undercurrent [Deep Sea], this seemingly The shady old guy used his own way to protect the Guwen Society [Red Gate] like Lu Nanzhi, who was about to be exposed, and drove away wolves and devoured tigers. He was the desperate hunter who was really looking for the [Key].

And, he found it.

After thinking about this, Gu Shen's mood became extremely complicated.

He had already guessed Zhou Jiren's true intention.

It's just...that old guy, where is he now?

Gu Shen asked hoarsely: "Senior, Gu Wenhui... what was the original crime that required such liquidation?"

There was a long silence in the wilderness.

The three of them stood in front of the coffin, the breeze blowing the grass blades.

The quiet smile on Madam's sleeping face looked like a silent mockery.

Bai Zhu softly uttered four words.

"Betrayal of humanity."

Alan Turing's original intention in creating the Ancient Prose Society was to decipher the incredible power left behind by the [Old World] writing... The "wishing technique" in Li's Shrine Mountain evolved from the "Ancient Prose".

The "divination skills" of Qianye and the prophets of the Tower of Origin were also learned from [ancient texts].

The ancient humans of the [Old World], the bone-winged creatures that had previously crashed into the Dolu River disaster, and the high-level extraordinary wisdom all mastered certain "ancient texts". Those strange texts can produce mental fluctuations...

In a sense, ancient Chinese literature is the source of the extraordinary!

If humans can understand ancient texts, then humans will have the opportunity to uncover the ultimate secret of the "extraordinary source material"!

How can such an organization be charged with such a heavy crime of "betraying humanity"?

Gu Shen couldn't understand.

Chu Ling couldn't understand either.

As the [Source Code], there was a hint of confusion in her eyes.

Although Chu Ling has lived in the deep water area for many years, after Mr. Turing left, she was eliminated by the iterations of the deep sea one after another, and her habitat became smaller and smaller... About more than 20 years ago This was the first time she heard about the taboo past.

In the world of "code", there are only zeros and ones, knowing and not knowing.

These things are hidden by the [Deep Sea] at such a depth that even the [Source Code] cannot detect.

"Who ordered this crime?" Gu Shen asked again.

Bai Shu's answer was still simple.

"There is no specific person who betrayed humanity...the one who ordered this crime was 'all humanity'."

Bai Shu said: "[Deep Sea] presented the charges of the Ancient Literature Society to the parliaments of the five continents... Soon after, each continent was ordered to start the cleanup task. In just one week, all the researchers on the surface of the Ancient Literature Society were killed. Clean, because the 'ancient texts' cannot be read through, when these people die, the knowledge in their minds will disappear and become 'relics' that cannot be traced."

"..."

Gu Shen fell silent.

Although I didn't witness that period of history with my own eyes, even if I just heard these fragments, I could already imagine the tragedy of the situation at that time.

This is a bloody massacre.

The butcher knife was raised.

Then fall.

"They may set the world on fire."

"But now, only embers remain."

Chu Ling's eyes were sad, and she cast an "I don't know" look at Gu Shen... At that time, her consciousness in the deep water area should have just awakened, similar to the newborn of a human baby.

"I still do not get it……"

Gu Shen murmured: "Why does [Deep Sea] think that ancient texts are 'betraying humanity'? How could the parliaments of all continents carry out this 'massacre' so easily?"

"The reason why the parliaments of all continents passed the [Deep Sea] proposal... is because it is so correct." Baizhu said softly: "A 'God's Intelligent Brain' that predicts 100% success and leads all human beings to achieve transformation, in When the reputation reaches its peak, who can oppose it, and who dares to oppose it?"

"Beyond that...it also gives solid reasons."

Bai Shu lowered his eyes and said: "[Deep Sea] clearly informed the parliaments of all continents that the 'research of ancient texts' is the fundamental reason for the 'breakdown of order' within the Five Continents... The more humans understand the 'ancient texts', the more serious the collapse of order within the Five Continents will be. "

"What?!"

Upon hearing the news, Gu Shen's expression could no longer be described as simply shocked.

Chu Ling is no exception.

At this moment, she even felt... that she was a fake [Deep Sea]!

"Facts have proved that [Deep Sea] is not wrong." Bai Zhu smiled sarcastically, "A large area of ​​'black spots' appeared near the Institute of Ancient Literature, and 'black holes' kept emerging...Human beings still cannot explain this. phenomenon, but after the annihilation of the 'Gu Wenhui', the speed of the collapse of order has greatly slowed down."

"Didn't you notice?"

Bai Shu said: "Qianye came to this world after the Guwen Society's purge...and she has always lived in Qingzhong over the years. This is the place where the 'transcendent source matter' is densest. Countless sources are moving towards the collapse. The direction of development can only be suppressed because of the existence of the cemetery formation and the divine domain."

Yes... Master Qianye came here after the ancient literature society was destroyed.

Gu Shen was stunned.

And what he knew was that another taboo place full of "ancient text information" was Li's Temple Mountain!

The "wishing technique" was born there, and the black flowers of the collapse of order bloomed there!

All this is not a coincidence...

"That's why the prophet in Central Continent has been imprisoned in the Tower of Source by the two gods all year round..." Bai Shu continued: "The Supreme Council has determined that those who are proficient in ancient texts in large numbers will bring troubles to the surroundings. A large number of 'source fluctuations'."

Gu Shen thought of Xiangchen, the Grand Duke of Beizhou... who also loved studying ancient texts.

But the ancient texts he studied were nothing compared to Qianye.

Extraordinary people with average qualifications, no matter how hard they work and study for a lifetime, cannot reach the level of "causing the collapse of order."

"What about me?"

Gu Shen subconsciously spoke. He had been studying the formation pattern of Qingzhong Cemetery for some time, but walking around did not cause anything strange.

"Don't you know... yourself?" Bai Zhu said meaningfully: "Think carefully about the reason."

Just a little bit, Gu Shen understood the reason.

He is so special, he is one of the Seven Gods of the future!

Since the birth of Suxuanmu, the "Pure Land" has been like a glutton waiting to be fed, thirsting for fresh extraordinary source matter every moment... As for the collapse of order, black spots and black holes, to Gu Shen, it is not the case at all. question!

Those fluctuations caused by the ancient text...the sources attracted by it were directly swallowed by the "blazing fire" before they had time to mutate!

Where is the possibility of causing a collapse of order?

"The 'cause and effect' in this world seems to have formed a very mysterious coincidence in you."

Bai Shu said with emotion: "Before smelting fire, I just thought that you were an ordinary person with fair talent... But now the more I look at you, the more unusual I feel. Did you learn ancient prose first? Will the talent be noticed by the 'Underworld Fire' again, or will it be noticed by the 'Underworld Fire' first and then develop the talent for ancient writing?"

Gu Shen opened his mouth but stopped talking.

Even he himself fell silent...

The ancient text, the essence, and the "echo" in destiny have indeed formed a closed loop in him.

"You can relax and don't have to worry about 'black spots' appearing around you." Bai Zhu said: "After I became a god, I silently observed you for a period of time. The 'source essence' around you is very stable... It can even be said that it is getting better and better. The less.”

Gu Shen went to Shenci Mountain, and the black flowers in Shenci Mountain were cleared away.

Gu Shen went outside the Gubao Fortress, and the source of [Maze] was also absorbed.

He himself is like an "alternative black hole" absorbing "black holes"!

"Extraordinary source matter, in a sense, means 'breaking the order'..."

Bai Zhu looked at Gu Shen, and his voice gradually slowed down: "So I think, maybe you are really a 'child of hope'? So many coincidences have happened to you, maybe you can really do it... ...What about the 'miracle' that even I can't do?"

Having said this, he cast his gaze on the coffin.

That sleeping woman's spiritual sea has been broken for more than twenty years.

"Give it a try... Gu Shen."

"Try to see if you can wake her up."

Bai Shu tried his best to sound calm...but his slightly trembling voice still revealed the glimmer of hope buried deep in his heart.

Gu Shen took a deep breath.

"good."

He felt complicated and slowly stretched out a hand.

The blazing fire swept out quietly...

The hanging trees of the pure land immediately emerged.

The spirit of the fourth-order realm fell into Li Rou's coffin.

"Huhuhu..."

It was a severe winter in the Pure Land, and the rolling cold wind rolled up behind Gu Shen. The crackling ice shards fell on the protective cover of the Dou Zhan God Realm above the coffin. Gu Shen tried to mobilize the power of the underworld fire to wake up the second soul whose spirit had collapsed. A decade of "out of control".

Everyone held their breath.

But...in the end, there were just layers of finely crushed ice slag piled on top of the coffin.

The miracle didn't happen.
