Barrier of Light

"That's pretty much what happened...that's pretty much it."

The wind was blowing.

The curtains fluttered gently.

There was a crackling sound in the window with a crack open, and the slight coolness of autumn seeped into the house. It was already evening, and the lights were not turned on in the room, so it was dark and depressing.

Hu Danian silently watched the scene in the room.

It's hard to believe that a terrorist explosion just occurred here. According to Gu Shen's description, the explosives at that time could have blown up half of Lipu Street... But with so much explosives, not even a single photo in this room could be blown away. The paper was not shattered.

The room is clean and tidy, and quiet enough for someone to fall asleep.

Gu Shen sat on the chair and said softly: "In short, the matter has been resolved. Don't ask for more details... You can report to Cui Zhongcheng this way: I used my ability to suppress the explosion."

Hu Danian looked meaningfully at the young man sitting behind the table with a gentle and sincere expression on his face. Now his first impression of Gu Shen has completely changed... Originally, he only thought that this was a newcomer who was just a little smart. Fortunately, Got the attention of Mr. Cui.

Now he felt that everything was no accident. This was definitely a monster-level transcendent who was secretly cultivated.

How powerful an extraordinary person can suppress this level of explosive yield?

Anyway, I can't do it myself!

"Don't worry, little monster, I'm not interested in your information... I'm only responsible for completing Mr. Cui's mission."

Hu Danian clicked his tongue and sighed: "The incident with the Riverside Murderer made me unable to get a good night's sleep for several days. I finally feel at peace today."

He brought a bronze safe that looks very old. The cabinet is not big, and adults can easily embrace it, enough to put down this pocket stone sculpture. After opening it, you will find that the inside of the bronze cabinet is plated With a layer of red crystal coating.

He put on black gloves, and there was also a thin layer of red gold plating on the surface of the gloves.

"What is this?" Gu Shen asked with a frown.

"This layer of gold-plated material is called 'red silver', a strong logical material." Hu Danian replied concisely, and at the same time carefully picked up the stone carving and put it into the safe. The whole process was extremely slow and extremely cautious, until the safe was closed. With a sigh of relief, he patiently explained in detail: "Different sealed items need to be stored in different ways. Sealed items like the 'Sumu Stone Carving' that can emit malice on their own cannot be tamed by humans. Isolation, generally speaking, sealed objects below A level, using red and silver materials, can suppress extraordinary characteristics."

In fact, the moment he heard the strong logic material... Gu Shen roughly understood the principle.

The transcendent is the power of disorder that destroys logic.

And strong logic materials... are mostly special substances that suppress extraordinary properties.

"What about A-level and above?" Gu Shen asked again.

"There will be more special materials. In fact, red silver is very useful. It can be artificially synthesized, and the effect is not bad, so it is used on a large scale to store sealed items... I heard that there are many special materials for storing high-sequence sealed items. They cannot be synthesized." Hu Danian shrugged, "With my level, I probably will never encounter that kind of sealed object in my life, right?"

Having said this, he glared at Gu Shen: "You kid...why do you have so many questions?"

"You know... I'm a newcomer." Gu Shen scratched his head and smiled, then quickly changed the subject: "After taking away the Sumu stone carving, is the task considered complete?"

"Um."

Hu Danian responded lightly, and glanced at his watch, "Next, take back the sealed item and report to Mr. Cui, the task will be considered complete. By the way... the two next door...?"

He pointed to the side through the wall.

Xiaoxinjie and Qu Shui...the two were still asleep in their dreams.

"In another half an hour, they will wake up. They don't know about this matter, so they can be regarded as victims." Gu Shen said calmly: "People who have their dreams taken away by the Sumu stone sculpture will feel very tired in the near future even if they recover. A little sleep will be good for your health.”

Since you don't know, then there is no need for special treatment.

Hu Danian nodded, picked up the bronze cabinet, "Okay, I'll leave if nothing happens."

"Wait a minute..."

Gu Shen stopped him, slowly raised his head, and said seriously: "I want to meet Cui Zhongcheng."

During the chat by the lake, Gu Shen had a good impression of Cui Zhongzhong.

But this time...after he entered the game, Gu Shen's view of Cui Zhongcheng completely changed.

The gentle conversation by the lake was all fake. Most of the time when I landed on my front foot, my back foot was thrown out as a bait. If I hadn’t reacted quickly enough and handled it accurately, the assassination just now would have been cold...

So indifferent and ruthless, no wonder even the big shots in the audit team are afraid of him.

Even if it is to investigate a fire case, it is not necessary to use such an extreme method, right?

Gu Shen is holding back his anger now, and wants to confront Cui Zhongcheng face to face.

After hearing this, Hu Danian turned around helplessly.

"As far as I know, Mr. Cui is very busy." He looked at Gu Shen strangely: "Did he not give you the contact information?"

"..."

Gu Shen fell silent for a moment.

Only then did he suddenly realize that Cui Zhongzhong really didn't give him his contact information when he met at the lakeside until the plane landed.

"That means he doesn't want to see you." Seeing Gu Shen's reaction, Hu Danian grinned secretly, "Mr. Xiao Cui is a very thoughtful person. He always does things without revealing anything. If he didn't give you his contact information, , then I must not want to see you. But... for the sake of friendship on this mission, I will mention it when reporting the progress, but the ugly words are ahead, and there is a high probability that he will ignore it. "

Gu Shen's expression was stiff and he could only knock down his teeth, swallow it in his stomach and nod.

I am full of anger now...Is this also part of Cui Zhongcheng's calculation?

After Hu Danian left.

The house fell into silence again.

Gu Shenchang sighed, he raised his arm with difficulty, feeling the numbness in the palm of his hand, rushing all over his body.

From afternoon to evening, I sat on the chair without moving, maintaining this posture for several hours... not because of laziness, but because activating the Rule of Truth this time still consumed a lot of mental energy.

Energy in the material world is conserved.

The mental power consumed by the ruler of truth to suppress such an equivalent amount of high explosive...is extremely huge.

At that time, Gu Shen, who was holding the ruler in his hand and immersed in the state of dominance, didn't feel anything yet. Only when the power of the ruler dissipated and the fanatical Jiujiu Foundation believer was bombed to the point where there was no powder left, did he feel that something was wrong.

Standing on the top of a mountain, the higher you stand, the more painful it will be when you fall into the clouds.

Three or four hours passed before the numbness slowly dissipated.

But I have to say... practicing the Jingzhe Breathing Technique has greatly improved Gu Shen's mental strength. If he had used the ruler like this twenty days ago, he would have fallen into a deep sleep immediately after falling into the clouds.

Gu Shen slowly stretched out his hand, and touched the white paper that was not destroyed in the explosion back in front of him.

He turned on the desk lamp, and the desk was illuminated by light.

There was a painting on that piece of white paper, with a few strokes, it outlined an innocent girl holding a book.

Looking at the stick figure he drew, Gu Shen couldn't help laughing in a low voice.

He slowly touched the girl on the paper with his fingers, and said softly, "It's been ten days... I don't know how you are doing."

Touch the drawing paper.

Gu Shen settled down and quickly entered a state of meditation.

He is used to entering the "deep water area" at any time, this is a space that belongs only to him, and he can return to the most peaceful and original state of mind.

Every day, he would meditate quietly for a while, and leave some of his thoughts in the spiritual network in the deep water area.

In this day and age, no one keeps a diary anymore.

But Gu Shen was an exception.

"November 17, sunny. It's the tenth day since Chu Ling disconnected. I hope she's going well and safe."

"A lot happened today..."

"The group insomnia case on Lipu Street was investigated, the Sumu stone carvings were recovered, and those who lost control were sanctioned."

"Cui Zhongcheng's guess is correct. It is the Jiujiu Foundation who wants to kill me. They will not give up. If the mastermind behind the scenes is not caught, there may be another group, and the next group... I can't sit still and wait for death. I must To act..."

Think of this.

Gu Shen's thoughts froze a bit, at this moment, someone knocked on the door.

It should be Miss Xiaoxin, or Qu Shui woke up.

Gu Shen clenched his fist, and the numbness almost disappeared.

He opened his eyes, sat upright and said, "Please come in."
