Barrier of Light

The spiritual connection with Suzaku was broken, and Gu Shen still had some unfinished thoughts.

Heart-wrenching words kill the most.

When he sent out the link, he never thought that Suzaku would agree to the invitation.

"He was furious."

Chu Ling said: "The words you just said are more powerful than [Extinguish the Candle]'s last arrow."

"Is it?"

Gu Shen smiled: "It's a pity that he left a little hastily."

"..."

Chu Ling was silent.

Can you not be in a hurry? If you don't leave, you will probably be really pissed off.

"Although this A-level beast tide is fierce, it will not actually have much impact on the East Cave." Chu Ling transferred the authority of [Sky Eye] and said: "The red dragon has rushed back to the E7 area. At the last moment, , the four divine envoys should still be able to complete the arrangement of the [airspace] barrier..."

Once [Airspace] is formed.

With the power of the S-level barrier, stopping the beast tide is not a big problem.

"Um."

Gu Shen nodded. He had no hope of changing anything with this beast wave.

The most important thing about this beast tide is that it confirms the existence of the "sons of gods"!

He dispersed his mental power and saw a familiar figure in the corridor of the mansion.

…

…

"This is...the place where the 'master' of the church lives?"

Xiao Man held the basket and carefully walked in the corridor of the mansion. She looked at the carved pilasters and subconsciously felt afraid.

"grown ups?"

Bai Xiu was a little confused.

"They all shouted that..."

Xiao Man whispered.

Bai Xiu was silent for a second and said: "They are all human beings, no matter how big or small they are."

Xiao Man was still nervous. She actually understood what Bai Xiu said, but it was of no use...

Those who don't call you "sir" will end up miserable.

At this moment, Gu Shen's voice sounded leisurely.

"Those 'adults' you mentioned are all dead."

When Xiaoman heard the voice, he suddenly raised his head and saw the attic window opened, revealing a familiar face. He couldn't help but said in surprise: "Gu Shen?"

Gu Shen turned over and jumped down.

He chuckled: "It's me."

The little guy suddenly exerted his strength, threw the big basket behind his back and tightened it, then ran quickly towards Gu Shen, taking three steps and two steps at a time, and suddenly bumped into Gu Shen's arms.

"..."

Bai Xiu watched this scene in silence. He looked at Gu Shen with a subtle expression.

If I remember correctly, Gu Shen and the little girl only got along for less than a day.

Maybe it hasn't grown on its own yet.

Why is Xiaoman not so enthusiastic about herself?

Is it because I don’t like children, or does Gu Shen too like children?

Chen Mei, Zhuang Su, Qi Mo and others who came out of the door all saw this scene... They had different expressions. Chen Mei was leaning on the side of the door, crossing his arms, watching this warm scene with relief.

Zhuang Su and Qi Mo's breathing became serious.

They looked at each other.

That little girl with tattered clothes and dirty clothes... is the "son of the gods" that Mr. Gu found?

So many years.

The neutrals waited and searched, but to no avail.

After meeting Mr. Xiao Gu...it only took a few days to find him?

Zhuang Su and Qi Mo felt very unreal at this moment. They felt like they were dreaming now. Now the neutrals could come to the ground to carry out activities openly, and they also saw the legendary "son of the gods".

Gu Shen's eyes showed a little warmth.

He moved gently and rubbed the little girl's head under him. A ray of blazing fire swept out from his palm and soaked into the little girl's body. The "fire of vitality" helped her dispel the remaining chill in her body and the accumulated accumulated energy. long-lasting injuries.

In the past three years, the little guy has suffered too many injustices.

Picking up garbage in the backstreets of Area E0, you will get beaten at every turn. If you are lucky, you can get a full meal. If you are not lucky, you will be hungry all day long.

There were many bruises on her body.

The little guy was gifted and had some injuries. A day's rest and a night's sleep would make him better, but he couldn't help but add up. The "fire of vitality" circled around, and Gu Shen felt very distressed when he saw it.

Qi Mo didn't know what happened in Area E0. The reunion between this little girl and Gu Shen seemed like they had been separated for many years.

It's just that he has been waiting for twenty years for the "Son of God's Favorite".

So Qi Mo took a deep breath, sent out a mental message, and reminded in a low voice: "Mr. Xiao Gu... The neutral needs a tube of blood from the 'Son of God's Favorite'. We need to do a 'genetic test' to see how extraordinary she is. What exactly is ability?”

"It's not urgent."

Gu Shen did not look back and said softly: "Everyone has been brought back, so what are you worried about... You must know that the Son of God is not the 'dead' in the bronze pillar. She is alive and has feelings."

As soon as he said this, Qi Mo immediately realized his mistake.

Experiments over the years have repeatedly hit a wall.

The highest ideal he has been pursuing so hard is finally coming true.

For a moment, he ignored this.

Qi Mo was a little ashamed: "I'm sorry... I lost my temper."

"It doesn't matter."

Gu Shen shook his head and said nothing.

His blazing fire detected Xiaoman's mental state... The little guy's spirit was very tense. She finally escaped from the E0 area and came here. Seeing the luxurious church mansion would only remind her of those unbearable things. past.

But these negative emotions come and go quickly.

These neutrals all have kind hearts. As long as they get along with each other for a few days, Xiaoman will feel a different temperature from the E0 area.

"I'll take her to a room to rest first."

Gu Shen looked around and said sincerely: "As for other things, let's wait until she has rested."

…

…

The mansions built by Chilang Church look retro and elegant, like the buildings in the Snow Forbidden City...

Gu Shen took Xiao Man to find a small courtyard in the mansion. In fact, the technology of these mansions was not backward. There were many artificial intelligence instruments here.

However, after the awakening experiment started, [Deep Sea] disconnected from Sangzhou Cave.

Now that Gu Shen has moved in, [Deep Sea] has resumed providing services.

Gu Shen was sitting outside the mansion. Chu Ling took over the process and took the little guy to wash up. When he came out again, all the stains on his face had been washed away and he had put on a neat and brand-new set of snow-white robes. .

Most of the clothes prepared in the Chilang Church mansion are of this style... This set of robes has been cut and all the church symbols have been erased, so that "belonging to faith" can no longer be seen.

Xiaoman looked much cleaner, but because she had been hungry all year round, her complexion was very ugly, her face was sallow and her muscles were thin, and even her hair was withered and yellow.

There was a drone parked in the courtyard, holding up a large floor-to-ceiling mirror. Xiaoman was holding his robe and looking at himself, his eyes full of strangeness.

After cutting this set of robes, it is still a bit too long...

She had no choice but to carry some to avoid inconvenience when traveling.

The little guy looked weird, and she felt uncomfortable looking at her "clean" self in the mirror.

Although this robe is very comfortable to wear, it seems that my muddy shirt looks better?

"Brother Gu Shen..."

Xiaoman pronounced the title carefully, and she asked tangledly: "How about I go back to the original one?"

"..."

Gu Shen sighed softly. The piece that the little guy took off had already been sent to the robot for cleaning... In fact, cleaning is unnecessary, and it is not an exaggeration to just throw it away.

Xiaoman had fallen down so many times along the way. The shirt had a lot of holes in it. How could he wear it again?

"Tomorrow, I will send you clothes that fit you." Gu Shen said softly, "I don't need to wear the one I wore before."

Xiao Man pursed his lips, feeling a little dazed.

"The few people I just met at the mansion..."

Gu Shen spoke carefully before he waved his sleeves and projected the mental images of Zhuang Su and Qi Mo, as well as some bystanders, "Do you remember the last parade in Area E0?"

The little girl nodded seriously.

Of course she remembers!

Without the bells and drums parade in E0 area, she would not have been able to escape... Those marchers took to the street, smashed the drones, and broke through the city gate. Although she left through the south gate, the first two She heard the sound of a city gate opening. This procession was so large that it couldn't be a coincidence.

"It wasn't just me who saved you."

Gu Shen said softly: "They have also paid a lot..."

Xiaoman is very smart, she understood when she heard this.

She murmured: "That parade was organized by them..."

"Um."

Gu Shen nodded and said, "If you heard the word 'neutral' when you were living in Area E0, then you should know what kind of people they are..."

Xiaoman's eyes were a little dim, and she said in a hoarse voice: "I know the 'neutrals'... they are all good people..."

Gu Shen found himself.

The neutrals opened the gates.

It's just... that parade is destined to be just a fleeting fireworks. Many people will die in the parade, and the law enforcers of the Tower of Source don't care about the lives of these people.

"Those people... are many of them dead?"

Xiaoman clutched his sleeves and spoke in a low voice.

This question made Gu Shen startled.

"……yes."

He could only answer truthfully and truthfully expose the bloody and cruel truth in front of this child.

Xiao Man asked in a low voice: "Then they... died for me?"

"Yes...and no."

Gu Shen lowered his eyebrows and said slowly: "These people are fighting for their own freedom. If we don't break the city tonight, it will be difficult to find a day to break the city... Instead of dying like this, it is better to try to break out of the prison. Just like fighting a fire. The moth dies for the light and burns for itself."

Xiaoman was confused when he heard it.

"so……"

She pursed her lips, thought for a long time, and plucked up the courage to ask: "Are you saving me... so that I can avenge these people? To the church, to the Tower of Source?"

Gu Shen looked a little surprised, but then he was relieved.

How can a child who grew up crawling around in the mud of Area E0 believe that there is truth, goodness and beauty in this world?

The law of the jungle is cruel.

Fight, alienate, deceive, exploit...

"My saving you has nothing to do with what you do in the future."

Gu Shen smiled softly: "I hope you live a good life. As for revenge... you think too much."

He snapped his fingers.

Blazing fire.

Xiaoman felt as if someone had gently pressed her eyebrows. She sat back and looked up again. She saw a majestic world, with heavy snow falling in the pure land and towering giant trees that almost reached the sky.

She stared at this magnificent scene in a daze, feeling her heart fluttering.

It took the little girl a long time to recover. She looked at Gu Shen who was squatting in front of her with a smile... That man seemed to be the center of the entire pure land world under the care of countless golden branches and leaves.

Yes.

She did think too much about what a terrifying behemoth the Church and the Tower of Source were. The only people who had the ability to declare war on such things were people like "Gu Shen" who were shrouded in the divine light of the world.

The little girl who was so arrogant a second ago suddenly stopped talking.

She shrank up very spinelessly, and after a long time, she whispered in a low voice: "Since we have no relatives, no reason, and no pursuit...then why did you save me?"

Although there was heavy snowfall in the Pure Land world, under the control of Gu Shen's mind, these pieces of snow fell on Xiao Man and were not cold at all.

This is a good question.

Gu Shen was silent for two seconds. He looked at Xiao Man with mixed emotions.

The reason why Xiaoman was rescued in Area E0 was of course because of the reaction of the "iron box". This was probably the "son of the gods" he was looking for.

But what about putting aside these factors?

From the moment he saw this little girl... Gu Shen felt an indescribable and subtle connection.

Very strange.

Perhaps because of too many "destiny objects", Gu Shen felt the guidance of cause and effect at this moment.

The goddess of fate seemed to remind herself that there was an unusual bond between him and Xiao Man——

Indescribable.

But it is already engraved in the cause and effect.

Is it because they are “both orphans”? Or is it because of...something else?

"Save you...there are so many reasons."

Gu Shen laughed softly, "Is there a reason why you saved the child in the basket?"

"..."

Xiaoman was stunned. She opened her mouth and wanted to answer, but she couldn't say a word.

There is indeed such a thing as "not asking for what you want" in this world.

But only a fool would do it.

And she is such a fool.

He obviously doesn't have enough to eat, but he still has to carry a burden, a beggar wandering on the street, how can he have any qualifications or have any family?

Stupid people do stupid things. No one has asked her about it in these years, so she naturally doesn't think about it.

But now Gu Shen asked.

Just like she asked Gu Shen.

"I...want to have a family..."

Xiao Man lowered her eyebrows, recalling the little guy smaller than herself in the basket, and she couldn't help but smile: "Even if we starve to death together, it's better than starving to death alone... On the road like that, you won't be alone."

"Crack!"

Another blow to the melon on the head caused the brain to collapse.

The little girl sat back again, and this time she returned to the real world. The snow-white robe suddenly fell to the ground. The little girl grinned in pain, but the first thing she did was to check whether the robe was stained. Dirty - Although I am not used to what I say, my actions are still honest.

She raised her head angrily and glared at Gu Shen, just about to speak.

"Don't say this kind of thing again in the future, it's bad luck."

Gu Shen's words dispelled all her temper.

"besides……"

"Since you don't have a last name, you might as well take my last name."

Xiao Man sat on the ground in shock.

She stared blankly at the young man in front of her.

There was a warm fire burning between Gu Shen's brows, and there was a faint smile on his face: "Give me the surname Gu. It's a very good surname. I promise you, no one in the world would dare to report it to my family in the future. bully you."

"..."

The little guy gritted his teeth hard and his body trembled, but in the end he couldn't hold it back.

This child has experienced all the sufferings in the world without even shedding a tear.

I burst into tears all of a sudden.

Xiaoman, Xiaoman, Gu Xiaoman.

From then on, she had her own name.
