Barrier of Light
Chapter 85 A sincere meeting (please first order, monthly ticket)
The dream is shattered.
All images were shattered.
And this small black cocoon has been preserved... This is the extraordinary source of "Qushui", and it is also the last ray of spirit that supports the preservation of this dream.
The blazing fire slowly enveloped the black cocoon.
"I am...digesting the extraordinary source..."
Gu Shen had an unprecedented sense of wonder, which was completely different from the spiritual imprint that had engulfed the solemn stone sculpture. After the blazing fire enveloped the black cocoon, his spiritual power began to surge "rapidly"... A thin wisp of flame, in dozens of In the time it takes to breathe, it has grown dozens of times, and now looks like a plump red date.
But Gu Shen vaguely felt that... the increase brought to him by this extraordinary source of energy was not as huge as it seemed to the naked eye. After the blazing fire enveloped the black cocoon, countless dark shadows were melted. After the flames expanded, they began to reappear little by little. retraction.
This is...refining!
The blazing fire is like a gluttonous stomach. Now it is the time of hunger, and it can't wait to swallow the extraordinary source... It just swallowed the black cocoon, which seems to have a big belly.
And with the digestion of the extraordinary source material... the stomach will also return to its original appearance.
I just don’t know how much my blazing fire will shrink after completing the refining?
"Eating this extraordinary source...can I complete the trial of the first level of the deep sea..."
Gu Shen's willpower has reached its limit.
Along with that wisp of blazing fire, it wrapped the black cocoon and slowly retracted its forehead.
He couldn't resist the wave of weariness that came over him.
…
…
Warm air convections from inside the pavilion and washes away slowly.
There was a thin layer of frost on the windows.
"Mr. Xiao Cui, to be honest...my purpose of coming this time...is actually very simple..."
The slight sound of conversation reached my ears, the words were blurry and ethereal.
Gu Shen woke up leisurely when the noise reached his ears.
He slowly opened his eyes and saw a spinning ceiling. The negative effects of using the Rule of Truth to overdraw his mental power last night surged over him, and there was a stabbing pain in his mind...
"hiss……"
where is this?
He endured the pain and observed the surrounding environment. He was in an office with a simple and realistic decoration style, but there was a flat chair facing the heater vent. No wonder he felt comfortable and warm in his dream.
This room is very secluded, like a rest room built into a large office, specially used for taking a nap.
The door is ajar.
Sounds outside can be vaguely heard.
"Master Zhao Qi asked me to come here. He wants to withdraw some money from Huazhi's dividend in the third quarter... to be precise... it's an advance..."
The reporting voice was high-pitched and as sharp as a sword.
Looking through the crack of the ajar door, Gu Shen saw a tall woman in a suit, standing in front of a large desk, with a high ponytail and bright red lipstick, looking gorgeous and sharp.
After just one glance, there was a stinging sensation between his eyebrows.
Gu Shen quickly looked away after he spied on an "existence" that he shouldn't have spied on.
He leaned against the stone wall and suppressed his breathing... The memories of last night surged like a tide.
I remembered.
He solved Qushui... and got the black cocoon. This should be the first time that he completely absorbed all the essence of a transcendent. After one night, Blazing Fire seemed to have undergone incredible evolution.
Close your eyes.
Gu Shen seemed to see the scene inside his head.
The flames were wrapped into a cocoon and were still being slowly digested... The digestion speed of Qu Shui's extraordinary source was even slower than he thought. It might take another week to be completely refined?
But in just one night, Gu Shen felt much more energetic, and even without summoning the blazing fire, his vision had also improved.
When he looked at the woman outside the door just now, an intuitive warning came to his mind.
This is an extraordinary person!
And he is a very powerful transcendent!
Gu Shen rubbed his eyebrows and murmured: "I informed Hu Danian about last night's situation... did he send me to Cui Zhongcheng?"
…
…
"Master Zhao wants to withdraw money... of course there is no problem... it's just that he overestimated my ability."
"Jinshan has a lock, I'm just a person holding the key." Cui Zhongcheng looked calm, glanced down at the document, pushed it back lightly, and said: "Liu Yi, please tell Mr. Zhao... such a large amount , I have no right to make the decision. He wants to find the old man, or the wife at home, these two nodded, and the money will be received immediately with a phone call. "
"It's just to withdraw money, why bother to alarm the old man?" Liu Yi smoothed his hair on the temples and said slowly: "If you are willing to do this small favor... Mr. Zhao said that he will be very grateful to you."
She looked at Cui Zhongcheng closely, trying to discern some clues from that poker face...
But she was disappointed.
There was no expression on that face.
Cui Zhongcheng is like a wooden man, and he seems to have no interest in saying another word.
"..."
Liu Yi was most afraid of this situation, and she sighed softly. Both of us are trying to survive under the Zhao family, but this man's behavior style is completely different from mine, and he is so old-fashioned that he is almost unreasonable.
Zhao Xilai is old and frail, and he doesn't think he has much time left, and he only has an only son... Needless to think about it, the huge Zhao family will definitely be taken over by his only son "Zhao Qi".
Even if there is a lock on a golden mountain, its owner will soon change.
Cui Zhongcheng still has no money left, sticking to the so-called "bottom line"... To her, this is simply stupid and stupid. Taking a sum of money for Mr. Zhao at this juncture can be regarded as a "timely help". , when the huge Zhao family changes hands, Cui Zhongcheng can continue to be the mountain guard under one person.
Even if it was out of fear of angering Mr. Zhao, he shouldn't refuse so coldly.
She was entrusted by Mr. Zhao to take a trip to Huazhi without bringing out a penny. It was Zhao Qi who was embarrassed, and Cui Zhongcheng who was slapped in the face.
Liu Yi kicked the iron plate and did not continue. He just sighed and said, "I will tell you the truth."
After saying that, she suddenly looked at the ajar door inside the office and frowned.
"who is he?"
Liu Yi suddenly became interested and narrowed his eyes.
Based on her understanding of Cui Zhongcheng, this man, who behaves like a machine and is rigid and rigid, strictly follows the rules and is meticulous in everything he does.
In Huazhi Building, there are different reception rooms to receive different guests.
That room was the inner rest room reserved by Cui Zhongcheng for himself. Outsiders were strictly prohibited from entering. Who was qualified to enter?
Two clicks.
Cui Zhongcheng knocked on the table twice and tapped his fingers twice to draw Liu Yi's eyes back and gave a convincing answer.
"…a person whose identity you absolutely do not want to know."
Liu Yi immediately looked away.
In the past ten years in the Zhao family, the person she was most curious about was Cui Zhongcheng. This man always had a unique temperament that was difficult to understand and she wanted to find out.
But the least curious person... is also Cui Zhongcheng.
Because in the past ten years, all the people who tried to find out Cui Zhongcheng's bottom line out of curiosity... have all disappeared.
This is by no means an alarmist statement.
Liu Yi has already regarded Cui Zhongcheng's words as another form of iron law in his heart. What he says must be done, and cause and effect correspond.
Zhao Qi wanted to borrow money, but he said that the old man and his wife would not borrow before asking, so they would never borrow.
Even if the sky falls, I won’t borrow it.
He said that he didn't want to know the identity of that person... Then if he really knew it, he would definitely regret it.
So Liu Yi immediately shut up and stopped asking or thinking about it.
"If this is all you need...you can go."
Cui Zhongcheng lowered his head and opened the notebook, flipping through it slowly, while whispering: "By the way, I want to tell Mr. Zhao... The old man has been very dissatisfied with him recently, so stop fooling around with Chen San's people."
…
…
After Liu Yi left.
Cui Zhongcheng still bent over his desk, but spoke calmly.
"Now that you're awake, come out."
The sound clearly reached the rest room.
So Gu Shen, who had been lying on the wall and eavesdropping for a long time, was exposed by these words. He couldn't sit up or lie down. He couldn't continue to act even if he wanted to. He was forced to show his true colors and walked out in embarrassment.
Gu Shen came to the seat opposite Cui Zhongcheng, found a chair and sat down. Looking at the poker face of Gu Jingwubo, the nameless flame that had been mostly extinguished in his heart suddenly started to burn again.
"You're angry."
Before Gu Shen could get angry, Cui Zhongcheng spoke first.
He stopped flipping through the books, raised his head and stared at Gu Shen, his voice was slow and deep, "I was used as bait without knowing it, and almost died... You are angry at my deception, angry at my fooling. Maybe. There is also some anger, which comes from the sense of justice in your heart. I am fully capable of solving group insomnia, so I choose to let the symptoms spread and observe first..."
After saying these words, Gu Shen was stunned.
Every word touched the bottom of his heart. He had the illusion that his chest had been cut open by Cui Zhongcheng. This man understood his anger better than he did.
"But in fact...is the truth really what you are angry about?"
Cui Zhongcheng pushed up his monocle and said with some disappointment: "If you can be more discerning on the plane... pay attention to the details of what I said, you should know what you are about to face, the review team said Your memory is very good and you have a photographic memory, so do you still remember every sentence of the conversation by the lake? Since you have already experienced a fire case... then you should know better than anyone else that the Long-term Foundation is a fanatic who will do whatever it takes to achieve the goal. Molecules, they’re just crazier than you think.”
Gu Shen was speechless for a moment.
Because...every word Cui Zhongcheng said is the truth.
In a sense, Cui Zhongcheng didn't hide anything from himself, because he didn't know more than himself about the fire case.
"If you want to find out the mastermind behind the fire case and pick up the lost clues, the best way is to use yourself as bait..." Cui Zhongcheng's voice poured down like a basin of cold water, saying: "I have already told you , this task is not as simple as you think, if you still ignore it, even if you lose your life, you will bring it on yourself."
Gu Shen sat silently on the chair.
His chest was originally full of anger, and he had already thought of all kinds of questions, but now under Cui Zhongcheng's few words, the anger had no way to vent, as if cold water had been poured over his head, but he couldn't even utter a word of rebuttal.
"You can always hate me until you become a true 'S-class'."
Cui Zhongcheng continued: "As long as you can remember the lesson and live well...it is too small to pay the price of such emotions as hatred. If your files are released, the out-of-control and extreme people you will face in the future will be the same as now." Ten times or dozens of times, I don’t want these four words to be your final epitaph.”
First hit a stick, and then give a candied date.
But due to Cui Zhongcheng's character... even the words of comfort were cold on his lips.
I am still young.
This is an old fox with profound knowledge, who always retreats by advancing.
There is nothing more to say now.
Gu Shen was silent for a long time, and finally took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I will remember the lesson this time."
"Since you came with anger... then you must have understood the meaning of the conversation on the plane." Cui Zhongcheng slowly explained: "There is no rush to give you the title of 'S', most of the reasons This is the big mission... The Sumu Stone Sculpture is just the beginning. Using the sealed files, we successfully fished out a suspect."
Members of the Jiujiu Foundation are lurking throughout Dongzhou, and some have even infiltrated into the parliament.
Gu Shen's expression condensed.
Before landing in Dadu, my files were blocked in order to catch the big fish behind the scenes.
"Please take a look at this file."
Cui Zhongcheng took out a document from the drawer.
"Shi Li, 37 years old, leader of the fifth group of Chengxinhui Nantang..."
It took Gu Shen three minutes to read the biography of the man named Shi Li.
He raised his head and asked seriously: "Sincerity Association... This is not the first time I heard about it. What kind of organization is this?"
"Most of them are places where unofficial extraordinary people live together."
"If you must give a precise definition, the Chengxin Association... is a legal and illegal organization." Cui Zhongcheng said lightly: "The Dongzhou Parliament has the largest say in Nagano in the north and Dadu in the south. It can make decisions Prison, Command Post, Federal Security Committee... There are only so many seats in these extraordinary institutions, and with strict control, not everyone can enter. Those homeless extraordinary people should have a place to stay, right? So in Dadu, the Sincerity Association was established."
Gu Shen was startled.
"You should also know... There is white and black in this world. There are some things that cannot be done on the official stage and can only be done by others." Cui Zhongcheng patiently explained to a newcomer at the tribunal: "Most of them Its status is destined to bear a great mission, and its every move radiates to the three surrounding areas. Across the river beach is Yinghai, to the west is Qinghe, and to the north is Sequoia. In recent years, the adjudication center has We are seriously short of manpower...not every extraordinary incident can be solved by someone."
“An organization with too many people is often difficult to control.”
Cui Zhongcheng said: "Nowadays, the Chengxin Association in most cities is divided into North and South Halls, and the corresponding highest right to speak is in the hands of two congressmen. One is named 'Chen San', and the other is..."
He pointed at himself.
Behind Cui Zhongcheng is the Zhao family.
Gu Shen looked at Mr. Xiao Cui silently, as if looking at a huge mountain across a long table.
He suddenly thought of what Nan Jin said to him.
Above the crown is righteousness.
Under the sword is for judgment.
If the Judgment Hall is a dazzling crown, it is a dazzling white self-proclaimed justice.
Then sincerity will... is a sword hidden in the undercurrent, secret and silent, dark and invisible.
Dongzhou is very big, and there are only a few crowns in the light, but under the light there is a turbulent undercurrent, and I don't know how many swords are hidden.
