Bulwark of Light

Chapter 510 Defense of the Umbrella ([-])
transaction?

Gu Shen looked warily at the throne in the darkness.

He is very sensitive to this word. A "transaction" is not a gift, but something that both parties have to "pay".

"How to trade?"

Gu Shen didn't deny it in a hurry, but spoke after considering it.

This is the spiritual world.

The flow of time in the outside world has been greatly slowed down here. Although I don't know how the guy in front of me did it... But at least staying here is a good thing for him, and he can get more time to think.

"The current flow rate of time is ten to one."

It was as if he had seen through Gu Shen's mind.

The shadow on the throne said: "According to the development of the real world, you will be overtaken by the 'Essence Storm' in 30 seconds. The Realm of Truth that you are currently propping up cannot resist this level of attack. , No. 30 seconds, your body will be crushed by the storm...so in the spiritual world, this conversation can only last up to [-] seconds."

Gu Shen understood what he meant.

Three hundred seconds is 5 minutes.

This conversation... no matter how much it is maintained, it will end in 5 minutes.

Because in 5 minutes, the storm will end everything, and this is also the biggest trump card for the Sombra of the Throne to negotiate with himself.

"What do I need to pay?"

Gu Shen didn't talk nonsense, and the next sentence directly pointed to the essence of this transaction.

He has always believed in one truth.

There is no free lunch in this world.

This is a fateful deal, if I rashly agree, there may be a huge price hidden on the other side of the scale that I cannot bear...

The face of the shadow of the throne was shrouded in gloom, and the real expression could not be seen, but when he heard Gu Shen's straightforward words, he smiled obviously.

There seemed to be a look of admiration and interest on that dark face.

"I said...you don't need to pay anything, do you believe it?"

He sat lazily, laughing magnetically.

"You just need to nod your head, make this deal with me, and relax. Don't worry about the rest, it will be over."

It really doesn't cost anything.

Just nod.

promise.

The deal will be done.

But the young man standing under the light was indifferent.

Gu Shen stared at the black shadow, from the moment he entered the spiritual world, he silently counted the time here... This conversation has already started for 50 seconds, and that guy's reaction was very calm, neither rush nor slow , It seems that I have decided on myself.

For the master of the ruler of truth—Pluto, Gu Shen has no trust at all.

In his understanding, this is a "out of control" king.

How can one trust the spirit left by a "out-of-control person"?

And put aside "out of control" accidents.

Twenty years ago, Pluto was also known for being "cruel", "indifferent", "cunning", and "weird"... This is a divine seat with chaotic positions and unruly actions.

"No need to do anything, just nod?" Gu Shen asked again, confirming.

The black shadow on the throne nodded slowly.

"Here, as long as the spirit resonates, you can 'trade'."

He smiled and explained: "We are currently in a state of honesty and soul. If I make a request and you agree, then it will be regarded as... the transaction is established."

It's not the first time for Gu Shen to be honest with his soul... In the "spiritual world", every time he meets Chu Ling can be regarded as a "spiritual soul".

Only this time, it's completely different!
He is making a deal with the devil, face to face with the devil, and "see naked" without reservation.

Under the cloak of human beings, what cannot be hidden is not the "skin" but the "spirit".

The black shadow sitting on the throne can see his soul clearly, clearly, anger, joy, pain, and joy cannot be hidden in this space...

Gu Shen looked at the black shadow.

130 a second.

130 two seconds.

He seemed to be hesitating, but his eyes were calm.

Soon Gu Shen spoke.

"I do not want."

The clean and neat three words made the figure who was leaning lazily on the throne almost fall down, slipped his elbow over the armrest of the throne, straightened himself up quickly, and raised his volume to suppress his surprise: "Are you crazy? , don’t want to live anymore?”

He was very confident in the deal he proposed, but he never expected that Gu Shen would give such a direct response.

"In 30 seconds, the storm will roll over, and by then..."

"No need to repeat." Gu Shen interrupted him, and said calmly: "I don't want to make such a deal with you."

The black shadow on the throne was startled.

He narrowed his eyes, carefully chewing what Gu Shen just said.

Not "don't want to trade with you".

It's "I don't want to make such a deal with you".

It's not that this kid doesn't want to trade, it's just that he doesn't satisfy the current situation and wants to put forward additional conditions?
"You're running out of time."

He held his breath and said coldly: "Now there are..."

"150 seconds. After two and a half minutes, I will leave this mental space." Gu Shen said calmly, "Well...in order to avoid your repetition, let me take the initiative. By then, I will be The storm crushed it to pieces."

Don't wait for the other person to speak.

"Actually, I want to make this transaction." Gu Shen took the initiative to continue the topic: "If you propose a very expensive price, such as paying a part of the 'blazing fire', the large amount of 'source quality' that has been accumulated in the pure land for a long time And so on, maybe I will consider it, because this is a clearly priced transaction, and my life is worth these things."

Pause slightly.

"But... there is no price, it is the highest price. You don't need anything, you just need me to nod, it means that you want to take more from me than these."

"..."

The shadow of the throne fell silent.

He braced his chin, silently staring at Gu Shen, a little curious about what else this kid wanted to say.

"What's interesting is your choice of words."

Gu Shen said slowly: "What you said just now is that 'we' will be crushed to death by the storm, although I took eleven people with me to escape...but in the eyes of a devil like you, they should not be considered as valuable Something? If this is a deal, then you know very well that the lives of these people are not worthy to be weighed on this side of the scale."

Gu Shen is very sensitive to every word this guy says.

He had a vague feeling in his heart.

The "you" in the mouth of the shadow of the throne did not refer to himself or the team.

It's... Chu Ling who is in the distance, who is in a spiritual connection.

Then this is scary.

How did he know the existence of "Chu Ling"?
Could it be that when we meet here at this moment, all the information in my soul can't hide from its inspection?

"……continue."

The shadow of the throne did not respond, but signaled Gu Shen to continue talking.

If you don't respond, it's the default.

Gu Shen glanced at the tall, dark shadow, and continued: "Of course, these details are not that important. The most important thing is the 'transaction' itself... You took the initiative to find me, and revealed your identity, and you want to Make this deal..."

Gu Shen paused.

And the black shadow on the throne frowned and asked, "Is there any problem?"

"of course."

Gu Shen smiled, "The 'devil' who takes the initiative to come to your door is not a qualified 'devil', you should be aware of my character, in extreme cases, I am a 'gambler', I can make a 'gambler' move."

After discovering "abnormal wind pressure"...

Change the escape route and take the shortest path!

Take out the ruler of truth and hypnotize the whole team!
These things are life gambles that can only be done by a lunatic, but Gu Shen does them with ease, and his heart is peaceful, without any waves. He would rather make a mistake and be swallowed by the storm than do nothing and wait. die.

A real "gambler" not only has the courage to "gamble his life".

There is even a hole card of "turning defeat into victory"!

"So how do you think, a gambler, would turn down a 'live' deal?"

Gu Shen sighed: "So you showed up and proposed this deal in the last 5 minutes of my life, but you were also wrong."

"You shouldn't have given me five minutes, it's too long."

Gu Shen said quietly: "If I were you, I would only give the other party ten seconds. After listening to the content of the transaction, I would have no time to think, let alone refuse... In that case, you can get everything you want."

The shadow on the throne looked at Gu Shen again, and seemed to be lost in thought.

Under the black mist, it was impossible to see his true expression.

But in fact, he was "shocked" by what Gu Shen just said.

Although his body was shrouded in shadows, he looked like a devil, but in terms of the degree of insanity, it seemed that the young man opposite him was more serious.

Gu Shen is more like a real "devil" than him.

"I decided to reject the deal you proposed, because I think you need it more than I do." Gu Shen slowed down his speech, "Let me tell you the reason, there are still [-] seconds left, don't interrupt, otherwise' We're running out of time."

"You have become very relaxed from the beginning, and you don't care about time... But after a hundred seconds, your sitting posture changed. I was counting time, and you were counting time. Obviously, the passage of time has also caused you pressure."

"What are you afraid of? Is it the failure of the transaction, or something else... After careful consideration, it is not difficult to find that the essential result of the failure of the transaction is that I died in the 'storm'. You know very well that I have no other power. If you can fight the next disaster, then what you are afraid of is obvious..."

"You're afraid of my death."

Gu Shen said: "Compared to the failure of the transaction, you are more afraid that my body will be smashed by the storm... As long as I am still alive, even if the transaction is not completed this time, there may be a chance next time, but once I die, Then the transaction is completely closed. You want my 'body' very much, and the ultimate goal of this transaction is to 'plunder' or 'occupy' my body. The premise is that this body is alive and can be used."

The man in the dark was literally speechless.

What does he want to say.

But he couldn't say a word.

It's not because he's powerless to defend... It's because Gu Shen's timing is too good. At this moment, the countdown to the "spiritual world" has come to the last 30 seconds.

"Don't worry."

Gu Shen said lightly: "The following is the deal I proposed. You activate the 'full power' of the Ruler of Truth to help me fight this storm. I will control these powers. In return, I will thank you for your help." , and I promise you, we still have a chance to talk next time we meet..."

heard here.

The black shadow on the throne was astonished. He never expected that this "deal" would turn out like this.

"You can choose to refuse. We will die together and be buried by the [Old World] storm. In this kind of place, no one will pick up this ruler in another 500 years."

"But you have no choice, because only if we live together, you have the possibility of the next transaction."

Gu Shen looked at him calmly.

Sombra got up angrily.

His deep voice echoed throughout the spiritual world.

"You are threatening me?!"

Gu Shen didn't say anything unnecessary.

He just kept a calm and indifferent gaze, returning the coldness he once felt in the darkness to the long-awaited devil.

Only the last ten seconds are left.

Gu Shen opened his mouth and counted down the last ten numbers to the shadow of the throne.

"nineteen……"

The roar of the storm in the real world seems to have descended into this illusory world.

There is a vague illusion that something has been torn.

That seems to be the barrier between the soul and the body.

Or something more solid... Judging from the picture reflected in this pure land space, the "Realm of Truth" has already produced broken cracks, and the violent source of the outer edge of the storm shreds everything, even the "Truth" The domain of "ruler" will inevitably be cut.

"Five...four..."

The black shadow on the throne looked at the young man standing in front of him with a blank face.

This is the countdown to death that symbolizes the end of life.

But the young man didn't seem to care at all.

If this is a gamble... then the price of losing the gamble is that you really lose everything.

Are there really such "humans" in this world?

Black Shadow clenched his fists, and his body began to tremble faintly.

"three."

However, Gu Shen's countdown voice didn't even tremble.

"two."

"one……"

The last voice has not yet fallen.

Game over.

"roll!"

An angry roar sounded together with "One" in the spiritual world, the darkness exploded, and large pieces of light were shattered. With the silhouette of the tall "hanging tree" falling into pieces, the meeting in the entire spiritual space ended. .

in the real world.

Gu Shen opened his eyes, and an unusually cold voice sounded in his mental sea.

"Only this time, the deal is done."

The fighting gold hoop used to restrain the spiritual power of the ninth layer shattered with a "wow", and the power from the ruler rushed wildly into Gu Shen's eyebrows.

The silver-white Realm of Truth has become as bright as a big moon at this moment.

In an instant, the destructive force on the outer edge of the storm was swallowed up!

Gu Shen gave his first order to the real world shrouded in the realm of truth.

"The efficiency of the source energy combustion has been improved——"

"1000%."
