Barrier of Light

Rhine.

The night view of this port city is extremely beautiful. The breeze blows on the sea, reflecting thousands of lights on the far shore. Huge cargo ships are docked at the Rhine Wharf, including one cargo ship, which is heavily fortified around it.

This cargo ship is named "El Chapo". It departed from Nanzhou Xiyin and just arrived in Central Continent today. It is said that an "important transaction" was completed between the Red Portugal Group and Xiyin executives.

There are several extraordinary beings patrolling around "El Chapo".

Rhine is considered an iconic city in the eastern part of Central Continent, with an important port. There are only two "Star Envoys" responsible for guarding this place, but the strength of these two Star Envoys is not comparable to that of the defenders in the small town of Linz.

They have all reached the fourth level, and each of them has a certain number of extraordinary priests under their command.

"Lord Rose."

As night fell, after anchoring, the deck of the El Chapo undulated with the waves. The woman with Big Wave, who was lying on the railing and observing the sea, slowly turned around and looked at the extraordinary captains behind her who were on patrol.

The sea breeze blew through the large dark red robe she wore, revealing her graceful and slender curves.

"The third round of inspections still found no abnormalities."

Several captains spoke in low voices and reported the inspection results.

They lowered their heads and looked at each other with confusion in their eyes...

Mr. Rose today is really a little abnormal.

The "El Chapo" has successfully arrived in Rhine. It just needs to wait for the star envoy from the Red Portuguese Group to come and hand over tomorrow. Logically speaking, this place is already the boundary of Central Continent. It is protected by the blessings of the two gods of the Tower of Source. Ordinary people can't wait. Dare to plot chaos.

These inspections were all very calm, without any surprises.

Lord Rose, why are you so nervous?

"Is there still nothing strange?"

Caroline Ye frowned.

She has been uneasy since last night...could it be because of this cargo mission? She had sent someone to check it carefully several times.

"Check again."

She lowered her voice and said, "Check every corner of the El Chapo!"

…

…

"This meeting was very successful."

In the banquet hall of the Hongpu Building in Rhine City, with melodious tunes and flowing lights, the colorful caravan departing from Dongzhou took off their suits, adjusted their shirts, and decently enjoyed tonight's "celebration dinner", drinking and chatting with future partners.

This transaction went smoothly as never before.

On the second floor of the banquet hall, Liu Yi was talking to the second star envoy of Rhine.

"Master He Chan."

Liu Yi raised his glass and said, "I didn't expect you to be so young and act so decisively."

Opposite her, a young man sat.

"Leader Liu is joking. In fact, this negotiation is just a formality. You and I both know very well that looking at Wuzhou, Huazhi is the best partner in this project."

The lights in the compartment on the second floor are slightly brighter, and unlike the caravan members celebrating below... He Chan is wearing a rather unique robe, which is the Star Envoy robe that symbolizes his status and strength!

There are eight stars in total on his robe!

The "Star Envoy" strength division of the Tower of Source is very clear. You need to reach at least the "Seventh Level", which is the "Third Level" in the extraordinary realm. Only then can you be qualified to become a Star Envoy wearing a robe. If you want to advance to the robe. There are only two ways to increase the number of star patterns on one's body, either to enhance one's own strength, or to make a huge contribution to the station.

The "star envoys" of the Tower of Source tacitly agree with each other that two stars count as one big realm.

In the upper city of Central Continent, there are many quasi-third-level powerhouses who have already obtained their own "Star Envoy Robes" when they were still on the sixth level. This is the "Aiming Star Envoy Robe" issued by the Tower of Source. "robe", because they have good qualifications, they will break through to the third level sooner or later, and the cities in the four borders of Central Continent are short of people, so gifting "robe" can be regarded as a kind of status recognition.

Once promoted, you can get the official robe, with at least two stars.

Therefore, a seventh-level powerhouse would have at least two stars on his tattooed sleeves.

Eight stars...

This means that the He Chan in front of him is a real ten-level figure, an extraordinary powerhouse who has already controlled the fourth-level realm.

It seemed that He Chan was only in her twenties.

This age is not much older than Xiao Gu...

With such a strong strength, why can't he stay in the upper city?

"Leader Liu... It's a pity that my wife is not here for this negotiation." He Chan put down the tea cup and said regretfully: "Actually, after this incident, there was a top-secret project that I wanted to talk to Huazhi about. of."

"Another top-secret project?"

Liu Yi raised his eyebrows.

The word "top secret" was re-read by He Chan, and the implication was quite clear.

This is because I feel that my status is low and it is not convenient for me to know.

"I have been told... if Madam comes in person, or if Mr. Xiao Cui comes to negotiate. At this moment, I can tell you..." He Chan said regretfully: "With your current status in Huazhi, I'm afraid it's not enough. Some meaning.”

"Young Master Xiao He, although I can't make the decision on some things, I still have some knowledge."

Liu Yi said calmly: "What are the identities of Madam and Mr. Xiao Cui? You should also know that for this cooperation project with Hongpu alone, we cannot invite the two of them. If you really have a better chance of cooperation, , you might as well go through it a little bit, so I can leave it to those two to make the decision."

"Tonight, a batch of 'goods' arrived from Nanzhou." He Chan stretched out two slender fingers and tapped the transparent table top gently.

Liu Yi was a little confused: "Goods? What kind of goods?"

He Chan smiled and said: "The Awakening Act has been promulgated in Nanzhou... [Deep Sea] has blocked the experimental area. After the program is started, in order to prevent external interference, we all lose the authority to enter the blocked area. The only way to What we are doing is waiting for the results of the 'experiment' and some of the 'samples'. I think that for such an important matter, a person as talented and powerful as Madam will definitely not wait around."

"The 'goods'... are people?"

"Yes, and no." He Chan said lightly: "These are 'invalid samples' cleaned up by the [Deep Sea]. They have lost control and must be handed over for processing... Such creatures can no longer be called 'human beings'. "

"how so……"

Liu Yi frowned deeply.

As a continent that strongly opposed the bill, Dongzhou relied on his wife to stand up and fight against all opinions to change the direction of the bill's promulgation.

Because of this, the extraordinary people of Huazhi don't like the "Awakening Act" in their hearts. The promulgation of this bill is likely to change the long-established order system of human society.

In the end, the efforts of everyone in Dongzhou successfully removed the mountain that was pressing on their heads.

But... just move away.

The promulgation of the Awakening Act just changed another area.

"Storm", who enjoys the most power of faith among the seven gods, agreed to the decision to implement the Awakening Act in his fiefdom. From that day on, [Deep Sea] established a deep "spiritual link" to the entire area. Use the "Lion Awakening Technology" to stimulate the awakening of extraordinary beings in the closed area... During this period of time, no one knows what happened in the sealed experimental land in Nanzhou.

Liu Yi asked in a deep voice: "Doesn't the deep sea ensure that the 'awakening' is very stable?"

"'Awakening' has never been stable. Even people like you and me may 'lose control'." He Chan said with a smile in his tone, more indifferent: "Concentrate a large-scale attack in a blocked area." Awakening', of course there will be many extraordinary people who lose control... Even if the probability of losing control is small, the overall base is huge, if these 'out of control people' are moved out, it will be enough to pile up into a mountain."

"Did you transport the 'Out-of-control Man' from Nanzhou to the Rhine?"

Liu Yi felt shocked in his heart, and immediately raised his eyes to look at He Chan... Whoever came up with such an idea, what kind of lunatic are they? What kind of disease do they have?

There are still people doing this kind of business in Nanzhou? !

"It's 'corpse'."

He Chan smiled and said: "Of course those who lose control will be executed. In this experiment, we control the 'Lion Awakening Technology'. We are the supreme gods. Once they lose control, what will happen to them according to how [Deep Sea] gave them the ability?" take away……"

"How did you kill the 'out-of-control man'?"

"They all died from extremely strong 'mental stimulation'. Water can carry a boat or capsize it."

He Chan snapped his fingers, and a blurry image appeared in front of Liu Yi.

"'El Chapo', this cargo ship, has sixty corpses of runaways stored at the bottom of the cabin... They are the first batch of samples of the 'Awakening Experiment' and have extremely high research value."

He Chan said slowly: "Just imagine, the Awakening Act is still in the experimental stage, but it will be popularized sooner or later... Under the general situation of 'letting go' sooner or later, doesn't Huazhi not want to have his own 'stable activation technology'? For combatants like you and me, these samples have no value, but for researchers, every corpse here contains a lot of information. Perhaps we can take the 'Lion Awakening Technology' at hand one step further. of pushing towards perfection.”

The implementation of the bill this time relies on the Tower of Source technology, which is essentially Huazhi's "Lion Awakening" back then.

This is the research done by Lu Cheng back then!

Huazhi's achievements in this area are well known...so this condition is undoubtedly tempting.

Liu Yi took a deep breath.

She stared at He Chan for a long time and said, "Why should we leave this kind of thing to Huazhi?"

"Profits, of course, interests."

Without spending even a second of thought, He Chan directly smiled and said: "Who we trade with is not a trade. We only see who bids the highest. Of course, there are risks in studying the 'Corpse of the Out-of-control Person'. I don't need to remind you that this kind of thing is something you It must be clear.”

"……call."

Liu Yi forced himself to calm down. Unexpectedly, this young man in charge of the Red Portugal looked smiling and cheerful, but in fact he was a "cold-blooded devil" who ate human flesh without spitting out the skin. There is no guilt or shame in this kind of business.

"I need to ask for instructions ma'am."

She stood up and left the table silently.

He Chan looked at Liu Yi's retreating back, the smile on his face gradually disappeared and became expressionless.

…

…

Fourth inspection.

For now, things are still calm.

Several extraordinary captains led their men to inspect the huge cargo ship, and finally came to the cargo hold at the bottom... According to the requirements of Ambassador He Chan, they only need to guard the cargo ship. As for the specific situation of the "bottom layer", there is no need to ask. , let alone exploring.

However, Lord Rose's order now is to check every corner of the freighter.

"Do you want to open it?"

The captains looked at each other, unsure of their decisions.

There seems to be some conflict between the orders of the two Star Envoys... They only know that this is a highly "confidential" transaction, but no one knows what the specific transaction is.

"You can do whatever you want, I'll forget it."

One captain backed down and said seriously: "The atmosphere tonight is really scary. Curiosity killed the cat... I'd better find out the scope of my patrol."

He turned on the flashlight and left the bottom floor. Just as the other captains were getting into trouble, the sound of heavy footsteps sounded again.

"Lao Xia, are you back again?"

A captain subconsciously spoke to the backlit figure.

The figure stood on the cast steel steps between the ground floor and the outside, his whole body shrouded in darkness.

He was silent for a second and said in a hoarse voice.

"Yeah...I'm back again."

The moment this voice came out.

The captains were instantly terrified... Their experience of patrolling the Rhine for many years told them that this guy with a deep voice was not "Old Xia" at all!

As soon as possible, they activated their bodies and prepared to fight.

It's just that the figure on the opposite side reacted faster. Before they started, he waved his hand violently and threw a bloody human head, and then he shot it out like a sharp arrow!

This head roared like a cannonball, exploding directly in mid-air——

Blood splattered everywhere, and the battle formation was torn apart before it could be set up. Countless hot "blood fires" burned at the bottom of the cargo hold. This figure was bathed in scarlet fire and directly tore the bodies of these extraordinary people. .

A high-level transcendent with murderous intentions will simply crush him when facing a lower-level one!

The fourth-level "domain", exerted with full strength, is simply not something that a transcendent of the fifth or sixth level of the deep sea can resist.

The bottom cargo hold was burning with hot flames and thick smoke.

The originally silent "El Chapo" was instantly ignited by a sea of ​​bloody fire...

In front of the huge dust-sealed door of the cargo hold, a figure bathed in blood and fire stopped. He stretched out his hand and pressed it on the dust-sealed door. Flames swirled and burned the door to pieces, revealing the fresh corpses soaked in the "red silver liquid" inside.

Xiao Xiao's eyes became complicated.

He slowly moved his head, facing the entrance not far away, and asked with a low smile: "Why don't you come closer and see the scene here for yourself?"

In the blood-colored sea of ​​fire, a strong wind roared, opening up a small and innocent land.

Caroline Ye arrived at the cargo hold at the last moment, looking at the corpses on the ground and the endless red fire, her expression was cold.

Anger almost overflowed from his chest.

She had already grasped the "Thorn Whip" in her hand.

"No wonder...I always feel uncertain in my heart."

Caroline Ye said coldly: "It turns out there is really a fool who dares to intercept the goods on the Rhine."

"idiot……"

Xiao Xiao stood in the sea of ​​fire. He gently repeated Ye Caroline's words and said sarcastically: "Lord Rose, why do you think I'm here to intercept the goods? I have no interest in these 'things' .”

Caroline Ye frowned.

"The 'goods' that I'm really interested in are the beautiful Rhine roses."

Xiao admired the woman's beauty obsessively.

The next moment, he suddenly raised his arms, and the sea of ​​​​fire boiled and roared in the roar. The man spoke in a low voice, every word vibrating like a giant drum, with anger: "I am not here to intercept the cargo. I am here to destroy this ship." Everything on the freighter...especially you!"
