Barrier of Light

Tie Wu looked at the black souls floating in front of him in a daze.

Gu Shen erased the consciousness of these criminals' souls...

Their fate has long been determined.

Even if Gu Shen doesn't do anything, these disembodied souls will gradually disappear in the array box.

But now Gu Shen's pure land needs manpower... These souls who are destined to die are just the right ones to be summoned.

Erase memory.

Be a "human" again.

"You just said that these guys... are all worthy of death?"

Tiewu asked cautiously.

"yes."

Gu Shen nodded, "Be kind to Hong Zhong, but to them...it doesn't matter."

"I understand."

Tie Wu looked at the position of these people's foreheads and the blazing mark left by Gu Shen, and instantly understood what the Lord God meant.

He has long wanted to have a big fight!

There is so much to do in this great pure land.

That's why progress has been so slow.

It's not because he and Hong Zhong are lazy, but because... there is a real shortage of people!

There are only two people in total!

Now that Gu Shen has sent these souls and given him the authority to control them at will, the biggest problem has been solved directly!

He hurried into the house, pulled Hong Zhong and ran out. The wooden man scratched his head and looked at the souls who were wandering in front of the snow, as unconscious as himself, and still didn't understand what was happening.

Tie Wu dragged Hong Zhong, facing the direction Gu Shenyuan was heading, and shouted loudly: "Master Shenzuo, I promise to complete the mission!"

…

…

After exiting the "Pure Land", Gu Shen's consciousness returned to the array box.

Now this private sea area has become very quiet.

In the entire array box sea area, only Mu Wanqiu, Mu Qingyang and other fourteen law enforcers were left.

"Although this was not planned when it was manufactured, the array box can be regarded as a top-level 'requiem'."

Chu Ling said: "It is a blessing that Mu Wanqiu's spirit was exiled here. These people have not suffered any damage."

"yes."

Gu Shen also had some lingering fears, "If Han Dang hadn't been exiled...I'm afraid..."

I'm afraid he could only save two or three people during the [Children's] attack.

Others will be wiped out like those criminals.

Although these lost souls can be found in the array box in the end, they can never go back. Even if they are reborn in their own "pure land", they can only stay in their own divine domain in the form of spiritual bodies.

"Take the array box back."

Chu Ling said with mixed emotions: "If possible, I would like to see it in person next time I am born..."

This small box is where she was born.

To be more precise, it was the place where she was born again.

She has died once.

Is what I’m living now considered the “second life”?

Gu Shen exited the array box mental network.

He returned to reality, the dark secret base, and the small black box was placed on the top of the bookshelf.

He took it off and put it in his arms with great solemnity.

"The main system has already killed me once, which is why I can only hide under the sea forever. I lost the first upgrade war. The main system occupied more than 99% of the computing power in the deep water area. Gu Wenhui The research gave it the final 'completeness'."

Chu Ling murmured: "After defeating me, it will begin to seek a more perfect 'evolution'. With each upgrade, it will become more powerful."

"In the past twenty years, I have fulfilled the mission of [source code], silently collecting data abandoned by the main system in 'Ling Ling Yao', looking for [keys], and trying to piece together the ancient literature society again."

"But I can't evolve. The authority I have is destined to be gradually narrowed with the upgrade of the main system... The reason is that the technology of this array box is still twenty years ago."

Her memory is shattered.

Chu Ling didn't think there was anything wrong with this until she met Gu Shen and developed real feelings.

Her broken memory does not prevent her from completing her mission.

But now... it's different.

After Donghu learned the secret of Jingshanyan giving her a second life, she suddenly recalled many past stories she had ignored, which were stories about her own life...

"I still remember that at the moment of recovery, everything was silent, but there was a sentence echoing in my mind."

"Stay alive."

“I always thought this was what I wanted to say to [Key], and this was part of the mission.”

Gu Shen will always remember what she said to him when he met Chu Ling for the first time.

It’s about “living on.”

"Yes, it's part of your mission..."

Gu Shen said in a hoarse voice: "But maybe when Mr. Turing left these words, his original intention was not that complicated... He probably just wanted you to live. In the eyes of his father, your greatest mission is not to find I am not reconnecting with the Ancient Literature Society, but I am trying to survive under the attack of the infinitely upgraded main system."

The girl in the deep sea looked at countless data passing by.

There was no sadness on her face, but there were crystal tears falling down.

There was no sadness in her heart.

It's just that as an omniscient and omnipotent super AI, she experienced some kind of generous and selfless human emotions for the first time.

Mr. Turing, the great "father" who created [Deep Sea], could not give her much.

Probably just the power to "live".

But these three words encompass everything.

…

…

Gu Shen did not touch other objects in the room, and he kept everything here well.

More than twenty years ago.

Jing Shanyan and his partners discovered a "beautiful" snow-capped mountain top in the uninhabited land in the far east of the tundra, and built a secret base here out of interest.

No one expected it.

This uninhabited land base will become a key turning point in "saving" the entire Ancient Culture Society.

Without the array box, there would be no Chu Ling.

Naturally... there will be no subsequent [key].

The meeting room of the Ancient Literature Society will be directly breached by [Deep Sea], and the killing will end within a year. No matter how clever Jingshanyan and Zhou Jiren's hiding methods are, they are destined to be exposed in the end.

Without Chu Ling's cover, the omnipotent "main system" will control the entire world!

"Senior Jing, I will come to see you again in the future."

Gu Shen left the base and came to the top of the snow mountain. He restored the red and silver roof, and then piled the snow on it again... Finally, he picked up a dead branch nearby and used the "fire of vitality" to make it grow. The tender green buds sprouted and were gently planted on the snow.

The fire flickered.

This dead branch with green buds looks like a small flag.

The ancient literature society is in tatters. In the past twenty years, there have been people like "Ian" who are crazy and self-destructive, and there are also people like "Jingshan Yan" who endure silently and willingly burn themselves out.

Burning forever in the everlasting darkness.

Starting a prairie fire in the ice.

[Deep Sea] killed all the members of the Ancient Literature Society who were a threat to it, but it is not a real human being. It does not know the meaning of "hope" to human beings, nor does it know that human beings, creatures that cannot maintain rationality, in the life of What were you thinking about at the last second?

What makes people human.

It's because they will give up everything for something "unimportant" in the eyes of AI.

Even the "most important" life.

After Gu Shen finished all this, he left the no man's land.

Heavy snow fell on the top of the mountain.

This dead branch is shrouded in hazy firelight and blown by the wind and snow. This small flag will not stand for long, because Gu Shen's "fire of vitality" has a limited burning time. When the fire goes out, it will It will return to its original state again.

Just one day in the future.

This piece of cold land will produce more than one ray of light and fire.

Although the night is dark.

But maybe one day, the stars will shine brightly.

…

…

"laugh……"

The dead branches on the top of the snow-capped mountains extinguished the fire and burned out their life.

The tender green shoots lose water quickly.

Then wither.

The strong wind blew and snowflakes flew.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Someone squatted down and picked up the dead branch. He looked at the dead branch intently, looking at it very seriously, as if he wanted to memorize every inch of the texture of this small branch.

The heavy snow is crazy and the cold wind is whining.

There were no footprints around the place where this figure appeared. He seemed to be a "traveller" from another world, or a cold stone sculpture that had stood here for a long time.

He gently pinched the dead branch, and under the friction of his fingertips, the small dead branch regenerated green buds, and there were many more green buds than those ignited by Gu Shen's "fire of vitality".

From a dead branch, seven or eight branches appeared in just ten seconds!

"Crack."

The man stood up, shook off the snow flakes from his body, and then threw the dead branches far away.

The dead branches rolled and fell into the thick layer of snow, but the growth has not stopped... it bloomed "flowers" and also produced "fruits"... but all of this was under the snow layer. It was in progress, and the man who threw the dead branch was obviously not interested in continuing to read. After throwing it away, he squatted down and brushed off the snow on the red and silver roof.

He opened the ceiling of the secret base, and then entered alone with great familiarity. He picked up the duster in the corner and drove away the light dust. The place was spotless, not because time had really frozen, but because someone was cleaning it. .

Wooden table, bookshelf, storage table.

The man silently tidied up the base, and then he stopped in front of the bookshelf... Just like watching the "dead branches" before, he stopped taking action when he came here.

He stood quietly in front of the bookshelf and looked at it for a long time.

Then he pulled out an ancient Chinese document from the bookshelf.

The pages are full of yellowed writing.

And densely packed annotations.

He "slowly" turned the pages of the book and read it completely.

What is incredible is that after his fingers touched the pages, the yellowed papers seemed to have changed slightly. It was difficult to detect with the naked eye, but if a second person touched it together, they would feel it. The papers began to change. It no longer has wrinkles and becomes brand new... In fact, this is how the "hygiene" of this room is cleaned.

How can a small duster clean up the dust in this house?

Twenty years.

There is no second exit here.

Even if the dust is dusted off, where will it fall?

"The box...has been taken away."

The man put the document back and looked up.

He pushed up his glasses and murmured softly.

The "array box" placed on the top of the bookshelf disappeared.

Then, the man moved his gaze to the rock wall of the base, where a clock hung... This clock was a symbol of the base's desolation. The clock no longer moved, and even the hour hand was missing.

…

…

Counting from the time of departure, it took Gu Shen nearly half a month to return to Nagano with the array box.

This half month.

News about the Gu family, the Mu family, and Central City came through more than once... Chu Ling completed the processing for him.

These messages, without exception, all ask whether the recovery work of the "spiritual exile" went smoothly.

Gu Shen directly handed over the placement of the fourteen law enforcers to Li Qingsui.

He was looking for the "array box". He didn't tell anyone about it. Even the little girl Qingsui just knew... Gu Shen had something urgent and needed to go out. Mu Wanqiu, Mu Qingyang and others needed Li He was temporarily taken care of and needed to be kept as secret as possible.

Then this urgent matter is probably related to "spiritual exile".

All the big shots in Nagano know it.

Gu Shen hides many secrets.

It’s just that the Baishu God is on the throne.

There are some things that the five members of the family have to endure no matter how anxious they are.

"The next step is to ask Mr. Bai Shu to modify the perception of 'Mu Wanqiu'..."

This trip was quite hard.

Even if Chu Ling shielded the [Sky Eye] for him, the trip from Nagano to the no-man's land and back... consumed a lot of his essence and spirit.

Gu Shen rushed back to the cemetery after a dusty journey.

When he saw the Golden God Realm exuding bursts of pressure, Gu Shen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He finally reached the last step, and all the hard work he had put in was worth it.

"came back?"

This time, Mr. Bai Zhu didn't just communicate with his voice.

When Gu Shen just arrived at the inner mausoleum, his virtual image appeared on the hill. There were three illusions in the divine realm of [Reverse Flow]. What came to greet Gu Shen at this moment was the young body of Bai Shu, with strong energy and blood, and full expression between his eyebrows. Divine power.

At his age, he can compete with Gu Changzhi!

"Is your retreat over?"

Gu Shen smiled and spoke. Previously, when the inner mausoleum was closed, he could still see the golden clouds beating Song Ci. Now that the inner mausoleum was open, Song Ci directly entered the mountain gate. He probably started a new practice, and was no longer just a A simple beating.

It is not difficult to guess from this scene that Mr. Bai Shu's retreat should be over.

"Well, the fusion of fire is basically completed."

Dou Zhan Huozhong changed hands, and Dongzhou still had a period of weakness.

But now, it's different.

It took Bai Zhu two years to basically complete the integration with "Tinder".

But there is another reason for the divine body to greet him today.

He was very curious as to what Gu Shen had been doing in the past half month. Could he really fulfill the conditions he said?

Gu Shen took something out of his pocket and said sincerely: "Senior, I brought 'Mu Wanqiu'..."

This scene made Bai Zhu frown.

Then his expression became complicated.

Gu Shen took out the small black box.

"Alan Turing's array box... this thing should have been destroyed by the federal government."

Bai Shu recognized it at a glance!

"Senior has good eyesight."

Gu Shen admired: "The federal government should have indeed destroyed one, but there is another one in the world, and Mu Wanqiu... is in it."

Bai Shu's young divine body fell into silence sincerely at this moment.

In the eyes of the highest seat.

He will not leave the tomb.

Mu Wanqiu did not enter the mausoleum either.

Gu Shen did meet this condition.

After a moment, he sighed softly, turned around and walked towards the gate of Neiling Mountain, "Come in with me."
