Barrier of Light

On the high wall of Area S3, Mr. Zhuang bowed and leaned back.

The wind howled.

The lantern flickered out a broken red light.

The dream that shrouded the wall was lifted——

Gu Shen glanced back. He also jumped down with Zhuang Su. The two landed smoothly and disappeared into the night. Zhuang Su led him towards the distance. The pace was not fast, but very smooth. Every step was smooth. The distance seemed to have been measured. He should be a very strict man. There were no wrinkles on his clothes. He also used his mental power to clean up the frost residue after the pure land was covered.

Before Gu Shen left the high wall of Area S3, he also scanned with "Blazing Fire". In order to ensure that no trace of Zhuang Su's visit would be discovered, he wanted to do some "finishing work"... but he didn't expect that these tasks had already been done. was completed.

This was also the reason why he couldn't find any clues about the neutrals.

Zhuang Su left almost no useful message...

It's just that Mr. Zhuang must have never imagined that there is such a bizarre sealed object as the "Eye of Destiny" in this world, which can read the contents of the diary three years ago with extremely clear clarity.

Gu Shen hasn't told Zhuang Su about this matter yet...

This is a "high-level execution".

Sangzhou Cave has been closed for three years, but the massacre has actually been carried out for more than twenty years. During these twenty years, the secret members of the Ancient Literature Society took off one piece of clothing and put on another at the same time.

"neutral party".

In fact, they are all the same: they cannot see people and cannot shine.

The two walked one behind the other.

Gu Shen asked: "Are those [lanterns]... the products of the 'Ancient Literary Society'?"

The reason why he doubted the identity of the neutral began with the [Lantern].

He had never seen this kind of [Lantern] since leaving Lion Alley. At that time, Lu Nanzhi told herself that this was something that only Lao Lu could make, and it was out of print, so there was one less one to use.

"That's right?"

Zhuang Su's voice was a little ethereal. He recalled the past more than 20 years ago and said slowly: "A long time ago, I worked in Dadu District. At that time, I followed a young genius named Lu..."

Gu Shen asked: "Lu Cheng?"

What a distant name...

Zhuang Su was startled, then nodded: "Yes, Lu Cheng."

Zhuang Su asked with a smile: "Do you know him? Is he still alive?"

"He is dead."

Gu Shen's voice was very soft: "We don't know each other, Mr. Lu Cheng is my friend's father."

There was a long silence.

"That's also... how many of those who joined the Classical Literary Society back then are still alive?" Zhuang Su's smile remained the same, but it was a little more sad. He continued: "I learned the skill of [Lantern] from him. , later I left Dadu and conducted 'research' in Sangzhou Cave. Unexpectedly, [Deep Sea] suddenly issued a wanted order, and the ancient literary society in the inland collapsed almost overnight... Unlucky guys like us who live on an isolated island, Instead, he became the lucky one.”

The massacre back then was without warning.

At least that's the case in Dongzhou.

Gu Lushen and Zhao Xilai directly cleaned up Jiangbei and Jiangnan——

As for Sangzhou Cave, this desolate land abandoned by everyone, because the [Deep Sea] had not been built yet, it escaped the first batch of killings. Zhuang Su and other members of the Ancient Literature Society learned about the news and immediately moved in. underground.

"It's a near miss."

Zhuang Su sighed with lingering fear: "We later learned that the 'cleaning up' outside was extremely terrifying. None of the surviving members in Sangzhou Cave, the original 'teachers' and 'friends' could be contacted..."

what does that mean?

This means...those people are all dead.

The past of Guwenhui is a black and sad ink.

Every time I mention it, it makes me sad.

Having said this, Zhuang Su stopped talking.

Both fell silent.

Finally, Mr. Zhuang took Gu Shen to S12 City.

"The 'Neutral's' base... is built here?"

Gu Shen never expected that he would be so close to the neutral person.

"This is the safest place in the South Cave."

Zhuang Su said: "If a large-scale wave of extraordinary beasts really occurs, the barriers in S12 area must be the ones that have the longest resistance..."

"That's true."

Gu Shen nodded: "But with your power, you should be able to wipe out the Blazing Wave Church..."

Zhuang Su said hoarsely: "The real enemy of Sangzhou Cave is not the 'Blazing Wave Church', but the ubiquitous 'Storm Faith'... If there are no outsiders, even if they are assassinated, they will not be able to save the suffering here, because they will definitely There will be a new 'ruler' emerging. And if something like this goes wrong and something strange is caught by the [Deep Sea], our hopes will be completely wiped out."

A neutral person is not like himself.

They cannot be exposed to sunlight.

Those extreme people in the "Church of Blazing Waves" don't care about experiments or anything else, because [Deep Sea] doesn't care about them either...

But [Deep Sea] cares about the Ancient Literature Society.

"We have greater hope."

Zhuang Su took a deep breath and said: "So... before the light falls, we must endure these humiliations."

…

…

Mr. Zhuang took Gu Shen to a remote corner of Area S12. Wherever he passed, he was enveloped in spirits and fell into a dream.

Gu Shen conveniently added a ray of blazing fire.

Soon, the two came to a "manhole cover". Zhuang Su used his mental power to move the manhole cover, and Gu Shen followed him and climbed down the pipe... Area S12 was built by the rich people of Sangzhou Cave. The underground here The drainage system was very beautifully constructed, but no one expected that there was a huge "base" hidden deeper.

"The base is located fifty meters underground."

Zhuang Su said: "Actually, before the official planning of the S12 area, the establishment of this area had already begun. At that time, the ancient literature society was still a legal organization, and everything we did... was approved by the 'parliament'."

"Parliamentary approval?"

Gu Shen frowned and asked, "Didn't that leave a file in the [Deep Sea] database?"

"Some of them were specially approved by Mr. Turing."

Mr. Zhuang chuckled in a low voice, with a hint of pride in his laughter, "What you see next... is the 'special approval project'."

Gu Shen was silent.

Zhuang Su led him to climb all the way down, and finally came to an "open" land. Fifty meters underground in Area S12, a fairly empty "space" was dug out... This is somewhat like what Jingshan Yan said Said "Star Project".

But this depth is far from enough.

If there is any source of energy storm, this base located fifty meters underground may not be able to withstand it for even half a year.

Therefore, the research of neutrals is almost impossible to be the "Star Project"...

Mr. Zhuang brought Gu Shen to the base. The [Lantern] was burning with spiritual fire, blocking the signal from the [Deep Sea]...

There are already people waiting at the entrance of the base.

It can be seen that... the neutrals attach great importance to Zhuang Su's action.

"Old Mo."

Zhuang Su nodded from a distance, and then introduced to Gu Shen: "The former person in charge of Area S12 of South Cave, Qi Mo."

This was a middle-aged man with messy hair, wearing a greasy repairman's coat, dirty cotton and linen gloves, and holding a wrench in his hand... A flash of lightning flashed in Gu Shen's mind, and he saw Looking at the man in front of him, he felt vaguely familiar.

"I've seen you."

Gu Shen stared at Qi Mo seriously, and then said slowly: "On the day when grain was released in District S12, you appeared..."

"You actually remember me?"

Qi Mo grinned.

Zhuang Su's actions have always been flawless and leak-proof.

Since he brought Gu Shen here, it was enough to prove that... Gu Shen was a trustworthy person.

So he did not deny it, but gave his approval: "Young man, your eyesight is good enough."

"There were a lot of people who came to watch that day, but there were very few people who didn't 'register' in the end. Since I chose to come and watch, I might as well take something back...basically everyone would think so." Gu Shen said calmly: "I'm so excited about S12 The purpose of conducting identity registration in the district is to find the 'neutral person'."

Qi Mo shook his head: "But you should know that neutrals will not register."

"yes."

Gu Shen said: "That's why we need to register."

Qi Mo was stunned. He suddenly understood what Gu Shen meant...

Registered people can be excluded.

Those who have not registered are the real "neutrals".

Qi Mo suddenly felt that this young man... was different from what he imagined.

Just judging from the performance in the past few days.

In the name of "Dongzhou Rescuer", Gu Shen put on the table what the "Neutrals" had done... Especially after solving the "Beast Tide Crisis" alone, the people of District S12 were so happy The sentiment level immediately reached its peak. Many people believed that Mr. Gu was a once-in-a-lifetime good person. This was confirmed by the handling of the "registration" matter.

This young man is not simple.

"So, if we never come to you...will you start looking among the remaining people?"

"of course not."

Gu Shen said calmly: "Since I have done these things, I just hope that the 'neutral' will take the initiative to come to me. Everything I do may be watched by the Tower of Source and the City of Light... take the initiative to find me. If you attract attention, it will bring disaster to you."

"..."

Qi Mo's expression became a little complicated.

He looked at Zhuang Su and asked in his heart: "Have you found out, what is the origin of this kid?"

"introduce……"

Mr. Zhuang smiled. He released his mental energy and said in the base: "Mr. Xiao Gu... is the [key] that Gu Wenhui is waiting for in Mr. Turing's last words."

Qi Mo: "???"

The spiritual voice rippled through the base. In just ten seconds, many figures crowded out of the previously silent neutral base... there were dozens of them, old and young.

"key?!"

"The legendary 'key'?!"

"Does the 'key' really exist?"

Gu Shen stood silently at the entrance of the base, looking at these people with a mixture of laughter and tears, receiving looks that were either gratifying or curious... The former mostly came from the elderly, while the latter came from the "fresh blood" who were still young.

“We are cultivating new ‘neutrals’ here.”

Qi Mo recovered from the shock and quickly explained: "These children are the new generation of members of the Ancient Literature Society. Although we have lost contact with the outside world... the will of the Ancient Literature Society will never be lost."

He looked back at the group of young people behind him:

"Every 'neutral' will remember the past that happened in the 'Ancient Literature Society'. However, we are located in Sangzhou Cave and what we can do is really limited. At least we can't help find the 'key'."

Look at these young faces.

"It doesn't matter……"

Gu Shen smiled and comforted, "Didn't you find the key already?"

"Mr. Xiao Gu, please come with me."

Qi Mo waved his hand to reject the others. He took Gu Shen and walked towards the base... The neutral's base was not crude. Because it was built very early, it had relatively complete experimental equipment.

He showed several projects to Gu Shen.

What the Ancient Literature Society studied back then was how to integrate "ancient writing" with "modern technology"... This is how [Deep Sea] was born. Mr. Turing created a perfect system and used the "Gospel Box" As a carrier, this unprecedented "AI program" was created.

At the base of Sangzhou Cave, Gu Shen saw some interesting things.

"This is 'wing iron'."

Qi Mo showed a piece of thin iron in the shape of a wing and said seriously: "Since the 'ancient characters' can only be understood and cannot be expressed in words... we selected one of the most useful 'characters', carved it, and named it 'wing' '. This inscription, like the Qingzhong Cemetery in Dongzhou, can play a certain 'extraordinary effect'."

"The red-silver alloy with the word 'wing' attached to it, and combined with the source of matter... you can fly."

Qimo Zhen said: "Of course, other materials can also be used, provided that they can withstand the pressure of 'ancient writing' and the potential destruction of material logic by extraordinary source energy."

There are many other studies like this...

These members of the Ancient Literary Society of Sangzhou Grottoes are specifically responsible for extracting "highly efficient" individual characters.

It is difficult to understand ancient texts.

But no matter how difficult it is, there is still a time limit... If you only need to comprehend one thing, most people can do it.

A single text can also trigger rules!

"Who came up with this..." Gu Shen couldn't help but sigh: "This is a genius."

He couldn't help but think of one person——

In Beizhou, there is a big man who likes to study ancient literature.

One of the Four Dukes of Beizhou, Xiangchen!

Grand Duke Xiangchen is very passionate about ancient writing, and he can be said to have worked hard on it. He has spent countless hours on it, but his progress is too slow... It is a pity that he has never come into contact with such a thing as "wing iron", otherwise he would Despite my hard work, I have not accomplished anything at this moment. At least I have mastered some practical "ancient prose".

Qi Mo and Zhuang Su looked at each other.

The two sighed and smiled bitterly: "This is... Mr. Turing's idea."

"The reason why Mr. Turing is great is that he, alone, has thought of almost all the research directions of 'ancient writing'. To this day, we are still continuing his ideas and conducting research..."

Zhuang Su murmured: "In the early days of the establishment of the Ancient Literature Society, we were able to develop rapidly because of the guidance of such a great figure. Among the most primitive 'researchers', those who can get rid of his influence and create independently are considered A genius unique among tens of thousands.”

Lu Cheng counts as one, Jing Shanyan... maybe half?

As for Ian, he is not qualified to be included.

"To this day, we still don't know...how Mr. Turing's head is filled with so many fantastic ideas..." Qi Mo said with emotion: "He is even more incredible than [the deep sea]."

"well, let's get back to business."

Qi Mo took Gu Shen to the last door of the base.

He and Zhuang Su looked at each other, and both of them took a deep breath.

"Mr. Key, the largest research project of the 'Neutral' in Sangzhou Cave is called..."

"God's favor."
