Bulwark of Light

Chapter 202

"So...you don't have anything to say?"

The dim light of the fire swayed in the old house on Lion Lane. Lu Nanzhi took out a red lantern from the old house. This old house has been around for a long time, and it seems that it has preserved many items from the "old times".

The lady stood on tiptoe and hung the lantern on the branch of the banyan tree in the yard.

The red string swayed in the wind.

The lantern emitted a myriad of weak lights, and Gu Shen felt illuminated by these lights... his spirit became much more relaxed.

This is no ordinary lantern.

The flickering fire seemed to contain some kind of incredible spiritual element.

Hmm... the principle seems to be somewhat similar to "Lion Sobering Up"?
But... the owner of this old house is Lu Cheng, the pioneer of Dongzhou who studied and researched with Alan Turing, it is not surprising what kind of items can be developed!
"What do I want to hear..." After Lu Nanzhi hung the lantern, he sat under the tree, sat upright, looked at Gu Shen, and said, "You should be very clear."

Gu Shen also sat down.

He said frankly: "As I said last time... I can push that door open..."

Paused.

Gu Shen looked directly at Lu Nanzhi, "Then, I pushed away."

Lu Nanzhi didn't realize that "spiritual exile" was a scary or dangerous thing... Everything that happened in the Freedom Auditorium was just a dream to her.

And when he woke up, the dusty old door in his mind had been opened.

Those ancient characters sealed on the red door no longer exist, and the entangled spiritual shackles have fallen along with it... So even if she doesn't know what happened, she is very clear.

The red door was pushed open!
"What's behind that door?" Lu Nanzhi's tone became urgent. When the red door opened, she was the one with the worst luck. According to the powerful summoning rules, all the members of the Ancient Literature Club in the conference room would be mentally alert. Come to see the "key", but she is the only "exception"... The spirit is exiled and wandering outside the void, and cannot be summoned at all.

In a sense, in the perception of the deep sea, Lu Nanzhi is no different from a dead person.

So... She didn't know anything that happened in the meeting room.

Find the key!

This is the goal my father has pursued for nearly ten years!

After the "death" of Alan Turing, only a fragmented meeting room and an illusory "key" message remained. The remaining members of the Ancient Text Society on five continents are looking for this last hope.

Now, the key finally showed up, how could this keep her from being excited?
"lady……"

Gu Shen said slowly: "Behind the door is a conference room. I think you should be very clear about what this conference room means, and besides...you are the one who should give more explanations."

He looked at the woman who was about to be the third member of the metropolitan area.

"Many big figures in the council have read my file, and I believe you are no exception..."

Gu Shen said in a deep voice: "Three months ago, I was just an ordinary citizen of Dateng City. Because of a fire, I was involved in successive extraordinary incidents. I joined the tribunal, became an adjudicator, and then became a so-called The 'key' of my life... Fate did not give me the power to choose. All of this, I need an explanation."

in the spiritual world.

Gu Shen has already heard an answer from "source code" from Chu Ling.

But now, he wants to get the answer of the material world from the carrier of "Red Gate".

Under the weak light of the banyan tree lantern, Lu Nanzhi's expression became calm. She stared at the young man and said softly but firmly: "The fire accident... is basically the work of the Changjiu Foundation. The origin of all this It was a coincidence, but the later... joining the Judgment Office, coming to Dadu, and becoming an adjudicator is the plan of the [Ancient Literature Club].”

Gu Shen's pupils shrank slightly.

"Someone knew earlier than me...you are the 'Key'. He is the boy code-named 031 in the conference room. I don't know what his identity is in the real world, but he revealed the information about the 'Key' to me Yes." Lu Nanzhi said seriously: "Actually, it is reasonable for him to be able to find you, because the remaining members of the Ancient Literature Society and survivors all over the world are all looking for you, and we have worked hard for nearly 20 years."

The boy code-named 031?
Gu Shen frowned slightly.

He thought of that familiar look at the end of the meeting...

031 locked his "key" identity earlier than Lu Nanzhi... If we start from the fire accident, there are only two identities for 031, one is a prominent member of the parliament who has not yet shown his face.

There are twenty seats in the East Continent Council. Those who sit on the seats, as well as those who have powerful power but do not sit on the seats, need to be classified into the first category.

And the second category... Gu Shen thought of his teacher almost instantly.

"Is it Zhou Jiren?"

This doubt appeared in my heart, and immediately took root.

Before the fire accident, Zhou Jiren threw an olive branch to himself... He seems to know the history of [Ancient Literature Society] very well, and he is also very optimistic about his future. For an ordinary person who has not yet awakened superhuman abilities, this is too much Unreasonable.

After I left the conference room, I met the teacher's eyes.

Didn't feel the slightest difference.

This old fox...is he hiding, or?
Gu Shen silently suppressed this doubt. In his opinion, Zhou Jiren is the "biggest suspect" of 031. Since this old fox wants to hide it, he doesn't need to point it out.

He briefly talked about what happened after the red door was opened.

Of course... Chu Ling was hidden.

It's not that he doesn't believe in his wife, but because Chu Ling's existence is too special, Gu Shen doesn't think it's meaningful to reveal the secret of "source code".

"Force a spiritual link..."

Lu Nanzhi's furrowed brows slowly loosened. She was relieved when she heard the last word, "After the spirit is summoned... directly announce the adjournment. Good solution."

It's better than forcing a meeting.

"I have nothing to say." Gu Shen said lightly: "And with that spiritual veil in place... everyone must be very interested in the identity of the 'key'. The more you talk, the more you will be exposed. At the current stage, I I don't want to reveal my identity."

"You did the right thing."

"After more than ten years of successive blood changes...the ancient literary society has undergone many changes." Lu Nanzhi said softly: "At least in this meeting room, everyone is a stranger to each other, gathered because of looking for the 'key' , In a sense, we are all desperadoes looking for the fire in the doomsday... What we are most afraid of is not the lack of hope, but how to continue walking cohesively after we really have hope."

Share joys and sorrows, the difficulty lies in the former.
