Barrier of Light

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

This tiny wisp of dark fire was pressed into his wound by Gu Shen.

The underworld fire and the sky sheath are both taboo powers of the same level... Theoretically speaking, the power of the underworld fire and the sky sheath restrain each other and interact with each other, so they should be able to produce effects.

This is the only way Gu Shen can think of that has a chance to remove the curse.

He is the future Pluto!

Logically speaking... is there any curse in this world that can bring down Hades?

Severe pain emerged, but Gu Shen's expression remained unchanged.

But his spirit was severely impacted at this moment.

In the spiritual sea, a wonderful "hallucination" appeared. The moment the Hellfire and the Curse of the Sky Sheath came into contact, the world in front of him suddenly turned black, and the previously concentrated mental power penetrated uncontrollably into the depths of the inner lake.

Gu Shen groaned.

He just felt like he was using the [Deep Sea] for the first time. His whole body was sucked into the majestic whirlpool, and even Chu Ling's cry in his heart could not be heard.

When he "opened his eyes" again, he came to a world filled with mist.

The contact between the underworld fire and the fragments of the sky sheath... produced a wonderful and extraordinary reaction, causing him to fall into this dream of unknown origin.

This seems to be a dark snow mountain?

The burning hellfire can only illuminate a narrow area of ​​about three feet in front of it.

Gu Shen looked around blankly, and subconsciously walked towards the other side of the fog.

In the far distance of the mist, on the far far side of the snow curtain, he seemed to see a very shriveled figure.

…

…

Snow cage, tonight is Christmas Eve.

The Tundra Prison has begun its second reconstruction. Mr. Ghost and Mr. Snow are performing guard duties and re-planning the deployment of the core area of ​​Tenshelia... As the encirclement and suppression operations in Central City and Nagano are ongoing, with a large number of manpower Under the mobilization, the number of extraordinary people responsible for the secondary construction has naturally decreased.

Safety first.

At the Gu family's temporary base, two night watchmen are on duty.

After the last accident, the Gu family strengthened their protection for someone——

The north wind howled and was resisted.

The room was very warm, and Tsukauki turned on the light to read at night. However, although the light was bright, he lay on the desk and fell asleep... Xing Yun hardly slept for several nights.

Disassembling ancient texts is a very mentally consuming task.

The room is filled with drawings.

These are the longevity drawings left by Gu Shen, brought from Linz in Central China... Chu Ling is also conducting research. Although she is extremely talented, the time she can be born is too short, and the disassembly she can carry out is Also limited.

The difficulty of translating this thing is beyond imagination.

People without talent, no matter how hard they work, can only understand a "wedge" in their lifetime... For example, Ian, this bachelor is already famous all over the world, but in this matter, it took hundreds of years to achieve results. Very little.

Xing Yun's head was so dizzy that he didn't know how long he had been writing.

All he knew was that his entire spirit was somewhere between reality and fantasy... Many times he thought he was very awake, but the moment he opened his eyes, he realized that he had fallen asleep a long time ago.

There were also times when he felt like he was sleeping soundly, but when he turned around suddenly, he found a thick stack of drawings next to him, all of which he had "unconsciously" written.

In this environment, his already hazy memory became even more confusing.

He often dreams about all kinds of bizarre scenes...

He often dreamed of a blizzard night, and there was a towering giant kneeling in front of him, trying his best to pull out the "Sword of Heaven" in front of him, but in the end he failed, and the giant's body was covered with ice swords. , and finally collapsed to the ground, drowning himself in the waves of dust and snow.

This time.

He fell asleep again.

But in the dream... he seemed to have come to a snow mountain.

It's an amazing feeling.

His soul seemed to be pulled by some invisible force, crossing the void and crossing the rules...and then, shrouded in billions of snowflakes, it fell into a dry, dilapidated body.

This dream seemed different from the previous ones.

…

…

"This dream... the scene is very familiar..."

Gu Shen was walking on the snow-capped mountains.

His consciousness gradually regained consciousness, and his sluggish thinking became faster.

"This... is the Black Snow Mountain?"

Gu Shen looked at the black snowflakes falling in all directions, and his expression became solemn. After the "underworld fire" and the "celestial sheath fragment" came into contact, he unexpectedly came to this place.

Of course he wouldn't think this was a coincidence.

Gu Shen, who possesses the two-piece suit of destiny, knows very well... this dream must be some kind of contract with "causal" effect.

He instantly thought of the scene of the deal between Hades and the Traveler.

The biggest secret I saw under the River Styx!

At this moment, perfect reproduction.

It's just that... as an extension of cause and effect, he replaced Pluto and came back to the black snow mountain where the transaction took place. He didn't know what he would see next. Will there be a traveler on the other side of the fog on the snowy night?

Is the traveler still alive? In this world?

So the big guy who was killed by the Queen before was indeed a large-scale "apostle"?

Countless thoughts passed through Gu Shen's mind.

He held his breath.

When they came to the end of the fog, in front of the raised stone wall of the Black Snow Mountain, there was indeed a thin figure. Gu Shen stopped. Although his expression was still calm, his heart was still shocked.

"Really... a traveler!"

The guidance of fate brought him to this black snow mountain.

Pluto and the Traveler meet again.

It's just that the "traveler" in front of him is completely different from what he saw in his previous dream——

The traveler in the dream has full wings, a perfect body, and exudes the powerful aura of a god-level creature.

But the skinny body in front of him had long since withered, its huge wings were folded, all the feathers fell off, its chest was pierced by a spear, nailed to the stone wall, and there were several broken arrows stuck in it... Gu Shen had no reason. These arrows look a bit familiar.

"died?"

Gu Shen looked at the traveler and suddenly felt uneasy and uncontrollably filled with fear.

The traveler died on the Black Snow Mountain?

Who did it? Was it the former Pluto?

No...this spear and this arrow do not look like Pluto's methods...

Just when Gu Shen stood still and looked at it for tens of seconds, the traveler who was nailed to the stone wall, the skinny body that had been dead for an unknown period of time, suddenly trembled. This movement was very subtle.

But Gu Shen would never be wrong.

The traveler... moved.

And it's not blown by the wind.

The next moment, this skinny body slowly turned over its palms, supported its body with its palms, and moved slightly... Because the spear penetrated the heart, the entire stone wall moved with it, making a cracking sound. .

This raised stone wall is not fragile. On the contrary, it is very strong, as if it is integrated with the entire black snow mountain.

If the traveler cannot break free of the spear, he cannot break free of the snowy mountain.

He was nailed to his "territory".

After some struggle, the traveler seemed to have found a comfortable position and sat down calmly.

…

…

Tsukauki felt as if he was acting in a drama.

He is an actor trapped under a heavy shell... There is a powerful force in his soul, guiding him on what to do and how to do it. All of this seems to be an arrangement of fate.

He didn't know why he came to this black snow dream.

Don't even know...

Why did I see Gu Shen again in this place?

However, seeing Gu Shen was something that made him feel at ease. The person he saw when he opened his eyes was Gu Shen. This guy was kind to him, and the drawings he sent were also helping him regain his memory.

Since everything was arranged by fate, he had nothing to resist, so he might as well just do it.

Tsukasa raised his head.

He looked at the young man in the snow, wearing a black feather cloak, with black fire burning in his brows, and spoke with a smile.

"Gu Shen, we meet again."

And the traveler who was nailed to the snow-capped mountain wall also felt his chest tremble.

"Gu Shen..."

"meet again."

This hoarse voice penetrated straight into his heart, making Gu Shen's hair stand on end.

The traveler knows himself.

He pronounced his own name... not the name of his predecessor Pluto!

The most terrifying thing is that the traveler just said the word "again".

When was the last time?

Gu Shen thought about it calmly. If fate allows others to peep, then extremely powerful beings should be able to feel the corresponding peeps through the fate line... The reason why the traveler said "again" is probably When he peeked with the help of the black gem, he was discovered.

This explanation was the only reasonable explanation he could think of.

Gu Shen slowly took two steps back.

He said calmly: "When you meet me here, do you want to continue trading with me?"

The ghost inside the body was stunned.

This response completely exceeded his expectations.

He just wanted to say hello briefly and then ask about the situation, but something terrible happened at this moment. Only then did he realize that he had no control over this tattered body... the "move" just now, and " "Open your mouth", it seemed that everything happened according to fate and was a natural result, but this time he wanted to speak to clarify.

Fate would no longer allow it.

He tried to open his mouth, but no sound came out.

The "actors" on the stage of destiny can only follow the script after the opening... There are no other more paths to choose from.

Tsukauki watched "himself" speak.

"yes."

After receiving the response, Gu Shen lowered his eyebrows and smiled, saying: "I understand... When I first peeked at the Black Snow Mountain, I was locked by 'fate'. When that big guy attacks the Sky Sheath, you will come. When we get here, I must be somewhere in the Five Continents, and I have revived at this moment."

"..."

The traveler did not respond.

The ghost in the body was stunned and sluggish, absorbing and digesting this huge information.

"So, our meeting this time... is also part of the deal between 'Traveler's Fire' and 'Pluto's Fire', right?"

Gu Shen murmured: "When the two fires made the contract, they were bound to each other by fate. The ending of meeting in the dreamland of the Black Snow Mountain is something I can't escape no matter what... As long as the hellfire 'Coming into contact with objects contaminated with 'Traveler Fire' will trigger the cause and effect of that year."

At this point, Tsukauki no longer understands.

But the body's answer was very simple, clean and clear, without any hesitation.

It’s still one word.

"yes."

Gu Shen frowned and looked at the perfect creature nailed to the stone wall. For some reason, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the "traveler" looked like an acquaintance he had seen before. Although the face, body, and temperament did not match the of.

But this intuition exists.

"So, what's your deal with 'him'?"

Gu Shen got straight to the point. After he figured out the ins and outs, he stopped panicking.

What he was most worried about was the "status" issue in this dream. Being summoned into a dream by a god-level creature was not a good thing.

But seeing the miserable appearance of the traveler...

The biggest problem seems to be no longer a problem.

He now also has some clues about the mysterious identity of his former Pluto... These clues all point to the ruler, and maybe he can get some useful information out of the traveler's conversation.

The shell's answer was always concise, as if saying one more word would mean death: "Live."

"live……"

This is not difficult to understand. Gu Shen asked, "Do I want to help you survive?"

This time, the traveler didn't even say "yes".

He slowly moved his head and nodded in affirmation.

"I can't help."

Gu Shen said calmly: "I can't pull out this spear, and I can't use these arrows either."

In fact, this is not a question of whether he can pull it out at all, but that he doesn't want to pull it out at all, and he can't even touch it!

This dream came out of nowhere.

Moreover, the "negotiation" upon meeting rose to the level of life and death.

Gu Shen had already kept eight hundred thoughts in mind.

His "deal" with the devil is a lesson learned from the past.

If he hadn't been superior, he would have been killed in the River Styx——

One learns from every experience, the devil is not a good guy, and a traveler is hardly a good person.

He didn't know what kind of deal the former Pluto had with the traveler, and how the deal was extended to him... As a "dreamer" who knew nothing about it, Gu Shen had to figure out the deal first. situation, I am jointly and severally liable.

In fact, the question he is most concerned about is that he and the traveler met in the dream, and the medium should be the fragment of the sky sheath. Is this enough to prove that the sky sheath is a thing of authority held by the "traveler"——

Further inferring, is the "Sword of Stone" that crashed into the Five Continents six hundred years ago a derivative of the "Traveler's Fire" fragment of the Gospel Box of the [Old World]?

in the case of!

So the curse of the Sky Sheath... is the Traveler capable of removing it?

After Gu Shen tactfully expressed his lack of ability, the traveler who was nailed to the stone wall slowly shook his head.

"..."

Gu Shen didn't understand this shake of the head.

This is because I rejected myself.

Or does it have other meanings?

"Live...live together."

The traveler's voice was hoarse. This time he said more than one word, and each word was shocking, like a bolt from the blue.

"You help me. I'll help you."

This is what the previous nodding and shaking of the head meant——

The thin body slowly raised two fingers, as if to disperse the cold wind, and pointed at Gu Shen.

Then--

The "curse of the sky sheath" lingering in Gu Shen's mind like a haze.

It was just dispelled.

Like the wind.
