Barrier of Light

At this moment, the boundary of the southern part of Area E0.

Two figures, one big and one small, were walking through the alley.

To be precise, there were actually three figures. However, the heavy basket on Xiao Man's back did not move at all. The baby was surprisingly quiet and did not make the slightest sound.

"Where are we going?"

Xiaoman didn't dare to say anything, so she just followed Gu Shen.

"Go to the South Cave."

Gu Shen said calmly: "The S12 living area is not safe until you enter the high wall."

"That's where I came from..."

Xiao Man lowered his voice and whispered.

Gu Shen raised his eyebrows and looked back at the little guy carrying the basket.

The two walked quickly, but did not hinder their conversation.

"Didn't you ask me what my name is..."

Xiaoman whispered: "I have no parents, I should have starved to death, but I was lucky. Someone picked me up a few years ago and kept me for two or three years. 'Xiaoman' is the name they gave me. I didn't have much at that time." I only remember these. Later, they died of illness, and someone took me away, but that person was not kind and raised me to sell me."

She paused.

"Later...these guys encountered wild beasts when they took me out of the city..."

That was already after the awakening experiment started.

"I met a beast, and then what?"

Gu Shen asked: "They are dead, but you are alive?"

"Um……"

Xiao Man smiled self-deprecatingly, "Isn't that nonsense? Those beasts didn't eat me, well...and him."

She weighed her feet gently and shook the basket behind her.

This basket is actually quite heavy.

But now on the way out of the city, the girl's pace was unprecedentedly relaxed.

"Later on, I took him to live with us. No one in Area E0 was willing to take us in, but it didn't matter. Even if there was no one to support him, I could actually feed myself."

Xiaoman's tone was very soft, and her voice was full of indifference. In fact, what she meant by "relying on her own" was to pick up things from the garbage mountain.

Gu Shen felt sad in his heart when he heard this.

"Although I get beaten occasionally."

Xiao Man smiled and said: "But it doesn't matter. I have strong bones. In two years, when he grows up, I will take him to fight with me... By then no one will dare to snatch things from me. Look at how quiet he is. , I knew he would be very powerful in the future.”

Gu Shen also smiled in cooperation.

"what is his name?"

"He has no name."

Xiao Man raised his head and said seriously: "Actually, I don't have a name either, because no one here will call us by our names."

The two stopped in front of the high-walled alley in the southern area.

Gu Shen stopped moving forward.

"The area is closed..."

Xiao Man clasped his fingers tightly at the hemp rope and asked in a nervous voice, "Is there any way for you to get out?"

"certainly."

Gu Shen smiled.

He said softly: "Remember... when the high wall door opens, there will be many people running out together. Just run away with them. Run to the south. Don't stop. Run far enough away, and there will naturally be people." Coming to pick you up.”

Xiaoman was confused, but she actually didn't understand much.

In the past two years, the evil people in the church have also sealed off the area. More than once, she knew that the door was closed, so she would not open it easily again.

She just remembered some simple messages.

Escape, escape to the south.

"And...remember my name, Gu Shen, we will meet again soon."

Gu Shen gently patted the child's head.

He turned around and walked towards the depths of the alley in the direction he came from. Xiao Man looked back and saw that it was already dark, but she felt warm on her body, as if there was a wisp of fire burning in her heart, which gave her the strength to carry on. Confidence.

…

…

Gu Shen was walking in the streets.

"Mr. Xiao Gu, the 'neutral ones' in Area E0 are ready."

"As long as you issue an order, a large number of people will take to the streets soon. The whole process is expected to take ten minutes. We will open the three high-walled gates of the 'Eastern District', 'Northern District', and 'Southern District'... as The cost of the operation is that the 'neutral' who opened the door will flee with the marchers, and then completely give up their lurking work in Area E0."

Zhuang Su's voice sounded in Gu Shen's heart.

Gu Shen turned around and glanced in the direction of Xiao Man.

He said calmly: "Okay, we can start now."

Give an order.

In the long silent night in Area E0, there were suddenly some very slight sounds.

That was the sound of the door being pushed open.

During the night, one door after another was pushed open.

One after another, aborigines wearing cloth robes and ragged clothes walked onto the street barefoot... In this overburdened slum, there had long been buried a fire that burned for a long time. That fire was being squeezed by the church. It has already existed, but it has never erupted. And tonight, someone lit the fuse, and more and more residents of the E0 area took to the streets. The sound of "sealed area" alarms echoed in the sky, and drones roared and flew over. After that, warnings of "curfew" kept coming, but the fire on the ground tore through the long night, and someone took action and knocked down the first drone.

Then came the second one, the third one...

Huge crowds poured out from all directions. He Chan, who had reached the highest point of the central tower in the city, looked at this scene with a gloomy expression. He was about to leave for the northern area, but he never expected that at such a critical moment, , there would be such a big chaos, and what he didn't expect was that there were so many untouchables who had awakened their basic extraordinary abilities, and they were so courageous!

They fear the church.

Aren't you afraid of the Tower of Source, which is more powerful and more terrifying than the church?

Someone lit a torch.

more than one.

There are more and more parades on the street. They hold up flames to drive away the darkness, and at the same time smash down all the roaring drones. The "neutral" who ignited the flames disappears among the crowd...

Or maybe.

In this long night, everyone is a "neutral".

The fire in the long night is getting stronger and stronger!

A dull roar resounded on the city streets, like a heart about to revive. Gu Shen walked in the dark night of the streets, listening to the increasingly orderly and solemn sounds.

Xiaoman was carrying a basket and stared at this unprecedented scene.

It's not just them.

Every aboriginal person who came to the street at this moment... heard the sound coming from themselves, which almost shook the entire E0 city...

"Rumble, rumble—"

Along with this lengthy loud noise, the east gate of Area E0, which was ordered to be closed, slowly opened.

A neutral person used his sword to kill the gatekeeper who was "spiritually enslaved", and took the lead in opening a corner of the entire blockade. The procession broke the cage. They knew where the direction of freedom was, leaving Area E0, and then headed south. Run away, the neutral has already released the news that the largest "S12 Living Area" in the South Cave is willing to accept them and treat them well!

Standing on the tower, He Chan's expression became extremely ugly.

How many people are needed to control a city.

Five people.

Yes, when the order is stable.

The high-level transcendence of the Five Source Towers is enough.

But... at this moment, a large number of people began to riot, and the situation was out of control. The five law enforcers all jumped to a high place. Faced with this unexpected situation, they all fell into silence...

And during the silence, the north gate also opened. The neutrals killed the slaves guarding the gate, and then led the marching people to rush out of the city wall!

"Everyone gather at the north gate."

He Chan said coldly: "Don't kill indiscriminately, the target person may be among the crowd... Use your mental power to suppress the riot as much as possible."

He took a deep breath and made his final decision.

After the order was given, He Chan stepped on the central tower and quickly rushed towards the direction of the North District. He didn't know whether he made such a decision, whether it was right or wrong... Lord Suzaku will arrive with his people soon, at this level The riots cannot be solved by oneself, but if a divine envoy arrives and expands the territory, there should be a chance to control it.

No matter what, first guard the most likely "exit"!

The wind howled.

He Chan caught a glimpse of a shadow out of the corner of his eye. The man was wearing a black robe. Like himself, he was running towards the exit of the North District, stepping on the buildings one after another.

His mental power spread——

But the strange thing is that the person's location is as dark as ink, almost blending into the night!

This is a strong man whose mental power is stronger than his own!

Upon realizing this, He Chan was horrified. The next moment, the figure running down the alley suddenly accelerated its speed, burst out in an instant, and came directly in front of He Chan.

"Qiang!"

A flash of sword light came out.

He Chan subconsciously drew his sword, and he struck with his backhand. As a result, the figure came and went quickly, and his movement was extremely light. The moment He Chan took out the sword, he suddenly fell back, and his whole body was like a rootless duckweed. The blade arced past like this.

"Who is it? Tell me your name!"

He Chan's voice was filled with anger.

The one who swept out didn't make any sound, and just looked at him "quietly".

The two looked at each other.

He Chan stopped drawing his sword and continued to rush towards the north gate. Then the next moment, the scene reappeared, and the black shadow in the big robe came up again in an instant. However, this time He Chan drew his sword, and the shadow did not retreat. .

"Crack!"

When the long knife was about to hit his shoulder, the black shadow stretched out his other arm, popped out two fingers between the electric light and flint, and suddenly struck the long knife hard, and just like that, he carved out a crisp light fire!

"珰!"

He Chan looked shocked.

His sword was shaken by such a flick of his finger.

What kind of terrifying physical power is this?

There is one more important thing than the shock knife.

When strong men fight, they can sense many messages in just a moment... He Chan is more concerned about the identity of this "mysterious man" than whether he can take advantage of the duel. Why are so many people taking to the streets tonight? Everything can't be just a coincidence. Someone is planning a plan. What he has to do is to find out this guy's identity.

The sword tilted.

He showed his flaws.

"Snapped!"

Then the black shadow slapped him mercilessly. He Chan, who was flying on top of a row of roofs, was knocked over by the slap and fell heavily into the alley.

"boom!"

He Chan stood up immediately after falling to the ground, holding his knees with one hand, and struggling to steady the blade of the sword with the other hand. He looked coldly and stared at the "black shadow" in front of him.

Gu Shen was hovering under the eaves of an old brick house, his whole body hanging upside down like a bat, as if he was sticky.

"Don't you dare show your true colors..."

He Chan wiped the blood stains from the corners of his lips and said coldly: "Are you afraid of the liquidation of the Tower of Origin?"

"..."

Gu Shen smiled silently. He was wrapped in a big robe and wearing a ghost mask, and he looked at He Chan calmly.

"You think I can't guess it?"

He Chan also smiled.

He held the knife in both hands and said quietly: "I have already guessed who you are... You can't escape, Lord Suzaku will be here soon."
