Bulwark of Light

Chapter 201 Assist
There was silence on the communicator.

The two people on the call were very quiet during these ten seconds.

Bai Shu was a little absent-minded, his whole face was shrouded in the dim moonlight, he didn't realize what kind of expression he had at the moment.

If there is a mirror...he will see a very slight smile on this face that has been gray for 20 years.

"It's all worth it for what you've done."

Zhou Jiren kindly gave Bai Shu some buffer time, and he spoke again with a firm tone, "If he is the right person, then nothing is impossible!"

Bai Shu came back to his senses.

He asked confusedly: "If it's the right person... why didn't he notice it when he left the no-man's land? I didn't see any abnormal mental fluctuations in him."

"Stop talking about the no-man's-land incident... Gu Shen has already noticed it. It's all because your aura was too scary." Zhou Jiren grumbled and complained, and then said with emotion: "We only know that the 'key' is The greatest treasure on the spiritual level, but no one knows what the "key" is. Maybe the "key" left by Alan Turing also has its own consciousness, or maybe she is still a pure and lovely girl. You look sloppy, you must be frightened, right?"

Bai Shu could only remain silent.

"Besides... the area where no man's land borders Dadu, those sky eyes are all invalid, aren't they?" Zhou Jiren said calmly: "We entered Dadu very smoothly, although you have something to hide, but I can't do it with my authority." So cleanly, this may be the way the 'key' is telling us that it already knows our existence and is willing to cooperate with our actions."

"Um……"

In the end, Bai Shu could only utter this word lightly.

Talking is useless.

Communication ends.

He looked up at Dayue, his figure was shrouded in white mist again.

……

……

The dark phantom stopped in front of Lion Alley.

The hustle and bustle of the Liberty Auditorium dissipated in the night wind.

The nocturne ends.

There is only silence in the long night at this moment.

Although the night is late, it is not dark. The dim lights are lit up on both sides of the old street, and they are connected in series as far as the eye can see, as if they reach the sky directly.

The old city of Dadu is different from those lively areas on the river beach. There is no sound in the early days, but even if no one passes by in the long night, there will still be a light in the old city... Maybe this is telling people in life that no matter how dark it is, as long as you go to Moving forward, there is always a ray of light.

Two figures, a man and a woman, walk under the mottled lights of the old town.

Song Ci stared ahead, "concentrating on walking" without distraction. He was wearing an expensive suit and had a delicate hairstyle, but he walked very awkwardly. Although the clothes looked good, they always felt inferior to his floral shirt and herringbone Drag comfortable.

After the wife returned to the old house in Lion Lane, she proposed to have a chat with "Little Doctor Gu" alone.

So he and Nan Jin walked around the alley.

Song Ci was a little proud and a little guilty. He wondered if he had "returned home" with Xiao Lu, but he was also a little worried that he would be bumped into by acquaintances, and then he would tell all the embarrassing things he said after drinking too much these years .

But fortunately...it's late at night now, and the shops in the old town are closed.

It should be... no one will, see?
"Why are you so nervous?"

Lu Nanjin was keenly aware of Song Ci's abnormality.

She frowned and looked at the man who had a strange and awkward walking posture, and asked, "Are you worried about my sister?"

"Ah... a little bit."

Song Ci said in a low voice, "But I'm more worried about bumping into acquaintances."

He's not that twitchy character!

Since you can't hide it, then simply confess it.

"Why are you worried about bumping into acquaintances?" Lu Nanjin was a little puzzled.

Song Ci was about to speak.

"It's so late...is there any shop open?" Lu Nanjin tiptoed slightly, she caught a glimpse of a shop in the distance of the old street, Song Ci's expression became very strange, it was Lao Xu's beef noodle restaurant, this guy is usually not early Is it closed?

At the entrance of the noodle shop, the boss with a towel around his neck was squatting and preparing to pull the iron door, when he froze suddenly. He scratched his head and looked at a man and a woman walking together in the distance.

Lu Nanjin immediately recognized an old acquaintance whom he hadn't seen for many years.

"...Old Xu!"

Song Ci could only say in his heart that a hero has good eyesight and good memory.

He originally thought that he hadn't returned to Dadu for ten years, and he hadn't returned to the old city for ten years... The memories here should have faded in his mind, but he never thought that Lu Nanjin remembered everything, and he remembered it very clearly.

She dragged Song Ci to a trot all the way, and suddenly slowed down when she approached the noodle shop, walking lightly and slowly, she remembered that a long time ago, the proprietress of Xu Ji Noodle Shop had a bad temper.

"Little...Little Lu..."

Old Xu smiled foolishly. He wanted to lift the shutter door up again, but Lu Nanjin stopped him from doing so. She had just left the Liberty Auditorium. She was still wearing the same prom dress and black spun skirt that she never wore in the old city. No one would dress like that.

Like a princess who has escaped from the palace.

She lifted the corner of the skirt slightly, not because she was afraid of getting dirty, but purely because it was inconvenient to "lower down the waist". Fortunately, she wore this skirt today. If it was a windbreaker... there would be three long and short knives around her waist, so it was inconvenient to do this action.

She leaned back slowly, her core tightened, and she leaned forward a little bit and passed the rolling iron gate.

Song Ci followed behind Lu Nanjin, picked up the extra skirt, and bowed in. The two of them wore suits and long skirts, like a couple who had just taken a wedding photo... After entering the noodle shop, Lao Xu made a gesture to signal Someone is resting upstairs.

Lu Nanjin gestured to show that she knew, then she put her finger on her lips and said in a low voice, "Lao Xu's daughter-in-law is fierce...be careful."

Song Ci nodded quickly to show that he knew.

He couldn't help laughing, because he really wanted to tell Nan Jin that... not long ago, he and Gu Shen came here for supper in the middle of the night, and before leaving, he beat Zhao Qi hard.

The two sat at the small table, and after a while Lao Xu served two bowls of hot beef noodles.

Old Xu smiled foolishly: "Xiao Lu...you...you're back."

Lu Nanjin also smiled: "Yes, I'm back."

Old Xu Pidianpidian ran to beat two tablespoons of beef, and said earnestly, "It's for you, no money."

"Thank you."

After Lu Nanjin declined for a while, she didn't refuse again.

Holding the bowl in both hands, she thanked respectfully.

This scene was seen by Song Ci, and for some reason, a string in his heart was plucked.

In everyone's impression, Lu Nanjin has always been a very lonely and cold person...but in Song Ci's impression, this girl is not like this, she just hides herself habitually under the spikes Under Zhang's cold exterior, there is a warm heart.

Not to mention love, nor to talk about kindness... These words to describe good virtues are too big, too general, and too inaccurate.

Lu Nanjin is just using her own way to get along with the world carefully.

Two tablespoons of beef were delivered to Lu Nanjin's bowl by the boss.

Song Ci made a gesture to Lao Xu, and he gave his thumbs up to express his gratitude for this wave of assists.
