Barrier of Light

"Yao Jin, is this your arrangement?"

Guangming City is located in the westernmost part of Xizhou, with the West Sea on its coast.

Wu Tuo was shirtless and wearing sunglasses, enjoying the coolness under a sun umbrella. The sea breeze was blowing. He said with some resentment: "I have been lying on the west coast for several days, and nothing has happened. Your so-called arrangement, You’re not just giving me a holiday, are you?”

"Don't worry, just lie down a little longer."

The electronic eye suspended next to the beach chair rotated, and a calm and gentle voice came from inside.

"Isn't it good to have a holiday? You have worked hard at the Dongzhou Judgment Office for many years and you have returned to your hometown. You must rest for a while... This place is remote and no one will disturb you. You can just relax and unwind these days."

"Having said that..."

Wu Tuo sighed and said, "But I should do something, right?"

"beep."

"beep."

Before he could finish his words, the communication over there had been hung up.

…

…

Yao Jin sat in a wheelchair and pushed slowly. There was no one behind him.

The underground corridor is very long and very damp. After the communicator hung up, even the last ray of light disappeared. This is the "secret prison" of Guangming City, a place that scares countless people in Xizhou.

The existence of the secret prison is very similar to the snow cage in Dongzhou.

The Church of Light has executed many sinners over the years. Under the sincere teachings, countless people are willing to sacrifice their lives, but some people choose to... betray the light.

Those who have committed unpardonable crimes will certainly die.

But there are still some people who need to squeeze out all the value before they die.

These people will be imprisoned in secret cells.

Although this is the City of Light, the irony is... there is no light at all in the secret prison.

The extraordinary people imprisoned here basically have no chance to see the light again.

"Tick tock...tick tock..."

Yao Jin was alone, walking slowly in this long corridor. He did not look at the mithril cages on both sides.

If it were someone else passing by.

At this moment, the secret prison was roaring to the sky, wishing to tear the passers-by alive.

But Yao Jin... is an exception.

Because all the criminals in this entire corridor were captured by him and tortured and interrogated with his own hands!

If a beam of firelight shines on this place, you will find that the criminals are huddled in the corner. They are used to the darkness of the secret cell, but they still dare not look directly at the young man who seems to be weak and critically ill.

Yao Jin looked calm as he walked across the long corridor. The secret cell was divided into different areas according to the different levels of criminals.

The deeper you go, the higher the level of the prisoner.

He went all the way down to the bottom.

"Elder Yuanyang, you're all right...are you used to staying in the 'Secret Prison' these past few days?"

The bottom layer is very dark, because there are several layers of cages here, and the outermost layer is even plated with black silver.

Yao Jin turned around, faced one of the cages, and spoke softly: "I specially tell people to treat you well. Don't miss out on three meals a day."

He tapped his fingers lightly.

The outer layer of the alloy cage slowly opened, revealing a rather embarrassed figure.

Yuan Yang's upper body clothes were torn, and he had long lost his previous aloof aura. His whole body was covered in scars, and his white beard and white hair were dyed red by blood. This scene looked quite embarrassing, and even his breathing became extremely weak.

"Yao Jin...that's not what you said before you took me to jail."

Yuan Yang's voice trembled: "Why is this the crime I committed? You treat me like this...if the Great Elder knows about it, do you know what the consequences will be?"

"Secret Line No. 1 was constructed by the temple after more than twenty years of hard work."

Yao Jin looked calm and said slowly: "There are a total of fourteen people, each of whom is placed in an important position in Dongzhou. They can all play an important role at critical moments. Among this hidden line, there is even a Nagano Adjudicator who successfully entered It's because of your 'intention to go your own way' that the secret line was pulled out. If it were someone else's crime, it would be an immediate crime."

"???"

Yuan Yang's tone was full of shock: "I am the second elder of the temple, how dare you do this to me?!"

"Sorry, this is the 'Secret Prison'."

There was no fluctuation in Yao Jin's tone. He looked at the second elder who was bound by iron chains and said calmly: "Here, you have only one identity... and that is a sinner. Besides, aren't you still alive?"

"No...that's not what you said at the beginning!"

The second elder suddenly rushed forward. He clenched the iron bars of the cage with both hands and said in an angry voice, "I want to see Jia Wei! I want to see Jia Wei!"

Zhila!

The power of the thunder-type sealed object suddenly came.

This dark secret cell was illuminated by a brief flash of light, revealing a ferocious face.

"ah……"

The second elder fell to the ground, his hair disheveled, and bursts of burnt smoke emitted from his hands.

"Master Jia Wei will not come."

Yao Jin sighed softly: "You don't seem to know that since Mr. Jia Wei was granted the title [Barrier], this secret prison has been fully controlled by me. Sir, he only needs to sit at the foot of Sunset Mountain and do his best to [Red Lake Garrison]." obligations.”

"How can it be……"

Yuan Yang murmured: "Jia Wei is the [Holy Inquisitor], this is just a secret prison..."

"Master Jia Wei is under too much pressure. Someone has to shoulder the burden for him."

Yao Jin smiled warmly and said: "Besides... In this Guangming City, there are shadows everywhere. Even Master Su Ye can become the Holy Son. It doesn't seem to be a surprise that I am in charge of this mere secret prison, right?"

"Su Ye, yes... Su Ye!"

Yuan Yang seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.

"I want to see Su Ye!"

He stared intently at the young man in a wheelchair in front of him.

"..."

After a long silence, Yao Jin sighed softly and said: "Master Yuan, it seems that you still don't understand the situation. You... can't see anyone now."

Yuan Yang was stunned.

Yao Jin said sincerely: "You can't see Jia Wei, Su Ye, or the great elder. The only person you can see in this place is me."

"I see……"

After a while, Yuan Yang calmed down.

His voice was hoarse and he said: "You are tired of the life of 'shadow', so you want to have your own place in the temple, right? I can satisfy you... Just let me go up, and I will make arrangements for you the next day. With your new identity, you can stand in the light, you can have your own name, be seen and supported by millions of people, just like Su Ye."

"..."

Yao Jin remained silent, and the atmosphere in the secret cell became suffocating.

Yuan Yang felt a little desperate: "What do you want? As long as you say it... I will definitely satisfy you."

Yao Jin looked at Yuan Yang sadly.

Finally, he waved his hand and closed the outer wall of the secret prison. Yuan Yang rushed forward again, but this time the lightning did not even break out of the cage, and the sound of electric shock to the bones and screams were isolated.

Yao Jin was sitting in a wheelchair. He did not leave in a hurry, but slowly came to another "cage" not far away.

He did the same thing as before.

Open the outer wall of the cage to reveal the scene inside.

There is a woman locked in this secret prison.

The dark and damp cage should not have a little bit of light, but around this woman, there are dots of fireflies. Such a stunning sight makes this place not like a cage, but like a prison. It is a holy place.

"My lord Goddess, you are well."

Yao Jin nodded and saluted, and said sincerely: "It's inconvenient for Yao Jin to get up and salute. Please forgive me."

The woman in the dark sits cross-legged.

No one would have thought that the legendary goddess of light would be imprisoned in a "secret prison".

Ever since he regretted his marriage to Lin, there has been little news about Meng Xizhou... The last news that the world can know is that the great knight of Guangming City, Jia Wei, personally led his people to Central City to bring the goddess back to Xizhou.

Since then, the goddess has not been heard from again.

Things like "God's favor" go as quickly as they come.

Just these years.

Guangming City has never publicly deprived Meng Xizhou of the title of "goddess", which puzzles many people.

If the God of Light no longer favors the Meng family, then the object of divine favor can be changed again.

someone said.

The Goddess of Light is seriously ill and old, so she is served by the Goddess of Light herself.

It's like the commander of the Purple Rain Army in Beizhou is stationed in the attic.

The Goddess of Light has been staying in front of the throne of God for the past few years and has no time to leave. Naturally, no news will come out... This can also explain why the name "Goddess" still exists.

Because the gods have not left.

But the reality is more magical than the rumors.

There was indeed news that the Goddess of Light was seriously ill and dying, but the goddess was not serving, but was "imprisoned".

Meng Xizhou slowly opened his eyes.

She looked at Yao Jin and said word by word: "You are acting."

"..."

Yao Jin also looked at Meng Xizhou.

He smiled and admitted directly: "Yes."

Putting Yuan Yang into the secret prison was to let Yuan Yang act... The real mission of the second elder was to use this imprisonment to get close to the goddess and gain her trust.

So what happened just now was actually part of the plan.

Yao Jin's answer surprised Meng Xizhou.

"It's just...he's the only one acting."

Yao Jin asked with emotion: "Is his performance just now quite realistic? According to the original plan, Yuan Yang was trapped in the secret prison. Under the full destruction, a crack appeared on the black silver wall, and he could just get in touch with you. ...Several years ago, Yuan Yang was kind to the Meng family, and he also showed his kindness to you. You can hate anyone in the temple, but you can't hate him."

Meng Xizhou was speechless after hearing this. She looked at the secret cell on the other side of the black and silver wall with disappointment.

"But unfortunately, I have no intention of accompanying him to continue acting..."

Yao Jin sighed softly and explained: "This is the 'Secret Prison'. The Great Elder, Mr. Jia Wei, has absolute trust in me. Since Yuan Yang has taken the initiative to ask for meritorious deeds, before he succeeds in his mission, decide whether to let him He is the only one who left the secret prison."

"that's me."

Yao Jin had no intention of shying away from these words.

Just like before, he released the conversation with Yuan Yang.

Now, his conversation with the goddess can also be heard by the cage next door.

However, under the reinforcement of the black silver outer wall, no one knows how Yuan Yang reacted.

"Why are you telling me this?"

Meng Xizhou's reaction was dull, "I don't care what your plan looks like."

"No, you care."

Yao Jin said seriously: "Miss Meng, you are a smart person. Yuan Yang is in jail, which means that the temple has insufficient manpower. They have left many things to the 'shadow'."

"What I hold in my hands now is no longer just this secret prison."

He said eloquently: "You may not care about many things, but there are some things you must care about, and I know what they are."

"..."

Meng Xizhou frowned handsomely.

“I’ve been here many times over the years and I’ve always done the same thing.”

Yao Jin persuaded him softly and said: "As long as you tell me the location of the remaining [Holy Book], you can leave the secret prison immediately. In the past few years, the Meng family has been in decline, and your name as a goddess has also been questioned. Now Lord Shenzuo has begun to serve as the "tinder" 'Choose a master again, why do you need to be obsessed with this trivial matter?"
