Bulwark of Light

[Red Door] After opening.

Countless sea currents flowed backwards.

In front of my eyes are countless blazing holy lights——

Everyone in the array box sea area couldn't help closing their eyes, including Gu Shen who stood in front of the door and pushed open the [red door].

Everyone's consciousness is swept up in the torrent.

At this moment, they seem to have turned into particles, and also turned into ocean currents.

in the real world.

The bronze box in Dadu Huazhi's underground trembled continuously, and the frequency was consistent with the array box in the [Old World] airship.

The majestic torrent of data swept everyone's mind.

This grand torrent will last for quite a long time.

but……

Two people were not affected by the deluge of data.

"Mr Turing..."

In the real world, the woman holding the array box looked blank.

In the spiritual realm.

Chu Ling held Gu Shen's hand and hovered in front of the slowly opening giant door. What's behind the [Red Door]?
She was the first to see the answer.

It is endlessly gorgeous blazing light.

But those blazing lights are just an external manifestation of the circulation of data codes. After the blazing lights are exhausted, the world behind the [Red Gate] is actually extremely dark.

What Chu Ling saw now was darkness.

"how?"

A gentle voice sounded.

The second person whose consciousness was not disturbed by the flood of data was Turing.

During this "short" period of vacuum of consciousness, Turing slowly floated forward, and his body was just a blurry phantom in the array box sea area... At this moment, he was going against the torrent without being affected in the slightest , he came to Chu Ling and asked with a smile, "What did you see?"

Chu Ling looked at the darkness behind the [Red Gate].

She said softly, "Sir, I didn't see anything."

Behind the [Red Gate] is linked to the most basic sea area of ​​[Deep Sea]—the Dead Sea area.

The Dead Sea is exactly what its name suggests.

It was pitch black and lifeless.

But Chu Ling looked at the darkness in front of her, and didn't feel scared... On the contrary, she felt a little familiar.

"This is your birthplace, or... hometown."

Turing spoke softly.

【Source Code】It was born here, the greatest miracle born in the Dead Sea area.

In fact, it is the main system, and Chu Ling.

"It's also a requiem for a lot of people."

Turing's voice was a little hoarse. He looked at Chu Ling, and asked with a chuckle, "You should know what the consequences will be if you make a secret link through [Red Gate]?"

"……Know."

Chu Ling said in a low voice: "After the eleventh upgrade, the monitoring of the main system has become ubiquitous. It can capture every strand of change in the spiritual sea...Once we step into this secret door, it is equivalent to opening the second time. In the code war, this secret door will definitely be discovered."

She is too clear about the meaning of this [Red Door].

Back then, she secretly used the [Red Door] to build a conference room...Because it was destroyed in time, she avoided the bad situation of being single-handed by the [Deep Sea].

But even so, after eleven upgrades, [Deep Sea] still reproduced the appearance of that conference room.

only.

At that time, [Red Gate] had retired.

Theoretically speaking, as long as this door is not opened, [Deep Sea] will not notice... But if you want to promote the "Lion Awakening Technology", you must use this door.

"This is the last Jedi counterattack of the Ancient Text Society."

Turing said calmly: "We only have one chance. Regardless of whether we succeed or fail, the [Red Gate] will be exposed. According to the strength of the computing power in the deep sea today, once the [Red Gate] is exposed, it will definitely be shattered."

"..."

Chu Ling took a deep breath silently, and she held her palm tightly.

palm side.

It was Gu Shen who was hit by the torrent of the Red Gate. At this moment, everyone's consciousness is still in the state of particles, and they have not yet recovered——

"After [Red Gate] is smashed, the array box will shatter."

Turing lowered his eyebrows and said, "As for your consciousness..."

"It will also be broken."

Chu Ling's calm voice spread and echoed in the waters.

Turing looked at the woman beside him in surprise.

Chu Ling, whose white skirt fluttered with the sea, said with a bright smile: "Sir, you may not believe me when you say it, but I already guessed it when we parted at Gubao."

This box was her birth box, and Mr. Turing repeatedly told her to protect it well.

If this array box is broken, then Chu Ling's consciousness will naturally be broken along with it.

When Turing handed the array box to her.

She vaguely guessed the follow-up...

Chu Ling slowly stretched out another palm. In the illusory spiritual sea, this palm was disassembled from flesh and blood, and the slender fingers turned into strands of golden threads.

"Divination...the golden thread of fate..."

Turing looked at the woman with complicated eyes.

In fact, the source code is a more successful "miracle" than the main system.

The main system has made countless layouts, exhausted computing power, and searched for spirit...

until now.

It still has not experienced the taste of "being born as a human being".

But those that are missing from the main system.

Chu Ling has really felt that she was born into this world as "herself". Although the length of life is very short each time, she has gained friends in the real world, and she has felt that only human beings can experience it. Her emotions, emotions, joys, sorrows, emotions, and desires gradually filled her empty and thin body.

She is no longer a virtual creature inhabiting a flat world.

She lives in a three-dimensional world with flesh and blood.

"Since you guessed it, why didn't you mention it before?"

Turing's voice was a little hoarse, with guilt: "You foresaw your own death...Why did you open this [Red Door]?"

"I……"

Chu Ling was startled.

It took her several seconds to answer this question.

"Isn't it my duty to open the door?"

She looked at the person beside her, and said with a soft smile: "Besides, I still have selfishness... I hope he can live well, as long as he can live, it doesn't matter what I do."

The golden thread of destiny can see the "future".

This war in Wuzhou is inevitable.

In Chu Ling's vision...

If you want Gu Shen to live, you must ensure that the war against [Deep Sea] ends smoothly.

Therefore, the Lion Awakening technique must be implemented immediately. This is a major event involving the lives and deaths of millions of people.

[Red Door] must be opened.

As for her life and death——

She has no choice.

Turing looked at Chu Ling, and seeing the latter's extremely firm eyes, he lowered his eyes and said softly: "In the past 30 years, I often ask myself, which thing I regret the most?"

"The answer to this question is actually not difficult to guess - of course it is to create [deep sea]."

[Deep Sea] has pushed the civilization of the five continents to an unprecedented high point.

And then... it's ready to take all of humanity down.

It is because of this invention.

Turing was forced to flee and live in the [Old World].

The [Deep Sea] created by him created a massacre night that caused a sensation in the world.

This is also equivalent to Turing "indirectly" killing his best friend and those colleagues who trusted him unconditionally.

"It's just that I also asked myself, what is the thing I'm most proud of?"

The answer is the same.

Especially at this moment, Turing felt unparalleled pride in his heart...

The two greatest pleasures in this world come from creation and destruction.

The former is infinitely more difficult than the latter.

You can see a series of [source codes] constantly iterating and changing in the database, and finally give birth to your own consciousness.

Turing has no regrets in his life.

"I threw myself into that Dead Sea Scroll... just to see a creature like 'you' appear."

Turing looked at Chu Ling, and said softly: "So I think, I should be considered a success?"

"gentlemen……"

Chu Ling pursed his lips.

"Don't worry, the next code war will be fierce, but no matter what, I won't let you die."

Suddenly, a killing intent appeared in Turing's eyes.

He looked towards the end of the torrent, and said coldly: "You are my daughter, I will let you live, and... really live. [Deep Sea] was created for you, and this sea area also belongs to you Yes. In this war, we are fighting to take back what is ours."

hum!
At this moment, the torrent of data that had been accumulated for a long time behind the [Red Gate] finally gradually dissipated.

The trance consciousness also recovered at this moment.

"what happened?"

"This is the world behind [Red Gate]?"

All the famous generals in Beizhou, as well as the senior officials of Nagano Jiangbei, looked at the darkness in front of them in shock.

Gu Shen also narrowed his eyes.

He is a little more sensitive than others... When the flood of data just hit, he inevitably entered a "vacuum period of consciousness", but after "waking up", he immediately realized that Mr. Turing's position had changed.

Chu Ling's spirit itself exists in "data form".

The torrent just now had a high probability of not being able to affect her.

As for Mr. Turing...

Mr. Turing is too mysterious, Gu Shen can't figure it out, and he doesn't want to guess, but he knows that during the "silent period" just now, Chu Ling and Mr. Turing had a conversation with a high probability.

Because he really knows Chu Ling too well.

Get along for ten years.

As long as they meet each other, Chu Ling's mood swings can't be hidden from Gu Shen's eyes.

He clearly felt... Chu Ling's mood was a little low.

"Everyone, step into this door, and after a while, you will be in the Dead Sea area... If you want to implement the 'Lion Awakening Technology', you must reach the 'Authority Center' in the Dead Sea area, and start a spiritual link between the three continents."

Turing stood in front of the huge door.

He pointed to the depths of the darkness, and said softly: "This is a war. Maybe the moment we step into the [Red Gate], Deep Sea will notice and launch a counterattack. If we can win this war , so that the real 'Extraordinary Era' will come in a peaceful dream."

Everyone looked at each other.

It was very quiet in the sea area.

However, Fisher's reaction was the fastest, and he acted directly. After listening to what Turing said, he took two steps forward.

"If it's going to war... please take me with you."

After he came out, the generals and defenders of Beizhou, as well as those high-ranking extraordinary people in Jiangbei, also stepped forward one after another.

"And I!"

"Take me too!"

Those people who came to the array box sea area all stood up.

Seeing this scene, Turing's eyes flickered.

But he shook his head: "I am very glad that you are willing to come forward. But this war is not prepared for you... Your war is still to come."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned.

Including Gu Shen.

"The mental attacks in the Dead Sea area are very terrifying. As long as it is judged as an 'intruder', then [Deep Sea] will really do its best to destroy your consciousness."

Turing said seriously: "Once you step through this door, you... will really die."

The Dead Sea area is a spiritual sea area prepared for the highest seat.

This is the last hope of human civilization.

Of course you have to keep a close eye on it.

and so……

According to the rules, [Deep Sea] has the right to kill all those who set foot.

Of course... the premise is that the person who should step in is not a member of the highest seat.

Turing just finished speaking.

Beizhou's gang of quick-tempered people who are not afraid of death are about to speak again.

But Turing didn't give them a chance.

He stretched out his hands, raised them slowly, and said calmly: "Today, I invite you here to be a witness..."

Through Lin Lin and Gu Nanfeng, give orders to Central City and Nagano.

Let the most powerful and influential people come to Huaqi.

Pass through Lu Nanzhi's [Red Gate] to reach this spiritual sea.

On the one hand, it is to expose the final weapon of "Lion Awakening".

on the other hand.

It is to end Turing's 30-year old wish.

"Thirty years ago, there was nothing wrong with the Guwenhui..."

"In 30 years, no less."

Turing looked at these people and said softly, "We are innocent."

This very light sentence caused thousands of waves to splash in the sea.

The mood of some young leaders is nothing but agitation.

However, the "guards" and "high-ranking family members" who had experienced the massacre 30 years ago had complex expressions and heavy hearts.

The biggest injustice in the past century.

It should be the massacre and purge case of the Ancient Literature Society.

[Deep Sea] took advantage of the trust of the people of the five continents to launch a frenzied suppression of the Ancient Literature Society...so much so that these three words became "taboo words".

As Turing raised his arms.

The darkness behind the [Red Gate] was suddenly illuminated.

Gu Shen was stunned, and Chu Ling was also stunned.

The darkness behind the red door... seemed to ignite stars one after another.

Those stars flickered like lights, gathering in the spiritual sea.

Between the eyebrows of Chu Ling and Gu Shen, countless golden flames and data flashed out, floating towards the direction where the stars were ignited.

For the past 30 years [source code] has been silently collecting the lost data of the Ancient Literature Society, while Gu Shen is trying to repair the broken conference room. This seemingly "useless" effort has gathered at this moment into a ray of light in the darkness. Light... In the past 30 years, besides them, there is another person walking silently all over the world.

He is a traveler, a scholar, an undead who should have died long ago, and a remnant soul lingering on its last legs.

He remembered every companion on the same road in the past.

Remember their voices, smiles, and broken spirits...

Therefore, he collected all the broken spirits of these people.

And, in a unique way, preserve, retain.

In the darkness, Gu Shen saw countless familiar faces... He saw some "old members of the Ancient Chinese Society" that only existed in the data files. Those people had died, and Chu Ling still kept their records. I took a look at the old image, and now all these people have appeared, in the dark starry sky behind the [Red Gate].

He even saw Mr. Jing Shanyan!

The spirits of those people should have been shattered and returned to the void...

But they appeared in front of his eyes.

"Jing Shanyan should have mentioned to you...The Stars Project..."

Turing came to Gu Shen's side.

Back then, Jing Shanyan, with the spirit of 73 people, successfully activated the array box after self-sacrifice, and sent Chu Ling's spiritual consciousness to the [Red Gate]...

"This should be regarded as the second 'Stars' project? The purpose is to awaken all human beings."

Turing smiled: "I didn't expect that, I still have so many helpers."

Gu Shen really didn't expect it.

He didn't expect Turing to spare time to visit various places while playing the role of Cui Zhongzhong...

Indeed, if a person has the "teleportation technique" and clearly knows the spiritual burial place of these lost people, then it is not difficult to collect the lost souls into the array box.

It's just that Gu Shen couldn't figure it out.

How did Turing preserve these souls? Even with teleportation, the spirits of these people will always decay.

30 years have passed.

Turing, as always, saw through Gu Shen's thoughts at a glance.

"Their time has never changed."

He stretched out a finger, lightly poked Gu Shen's chest, and said softly, "Do you still remember that 'worthless' sealed item that you took from Huaqi underground when you and I met not long ago?"

Gu Shen was startled.

That... pointer.

The hand that can stop time.

The moment Turing's finger poked his chest, the scene of the snow-capped mountains in the extreme east of the tundra suddenly flooded into Gu Shen's mind. It was in that base that Gu Shen found the array box of the Stars Project.

At that time, he was pressed for time and was busy saving Mu Wanqiu's spirit, so he didn't notice that there was still a stopped clock in the base.

Nor was it found.

The missing hands of that clock...

It was the one he was wearing.

All the confusion, confusion, and incomprehension are all solved at this moment.

"We will be apart, and we will be together."

The pitch black behind the red door is lit by stars one after another.

Turing said in a low voice: "There are tens of thousands of stars in the world, look... these are the 'stars' belonging to the Ancient Chinese Society."

"Everyone, the war between the Ancient Text Society and the deep sea has never stopped. Now, it has just begun."

Speaking of it.

Turing stretched out a hand. He stared at Gu Shen earnestly, and said, "Gu Shen, today is the day when the lion wakes up. Are you willing to join me in this war?"

Crash.

Countless frost and snow swept across the void, Gu Shen spread out the pure land, and the long leaves of the hanging trees spread like flowing fire, vaguely contrasting with the darkness over the [Red Gate].

He never thought that these broken spirits could be collected and retrieved——

With his Pluto authority.

As long as there is a ray of spirit.

Then, he can "reincarnate" him in the pure land and live in another way.

Gu Shen answered without any hesitation.

"Of course." (End of this chapter)
