Bulwark of Light

Chapter 512 Congratulations from the Returned
Boundless Darkness.

Shadows are mottled.

The flow of time slowed down, Gu Shen opened his eyes, and once again came to this spiritual space that was highly similar to the "Pure Land". He stood in the light, and not far away was the throne standing in the darkness.

"The deal is over."

The devil seems to be a very ritualistic guy.

At least, it obeys some illusory "rules and regulations" than it imagined.

When the deal was concluded, it deliberately said "deal completed" before releasing its mental power, and now that everything was over, it dragged its "consciousness" into this space again.

"I know, the power in the ruler is passing quickly, I can feel it."

Gu Shen shrugged, and said without emotion: "To be honest, it's over as soon as the transaction is over. You don't need to deliberately come to say goodbye to me."

The expression of the person sitting on the throne was shrouded in darkness.

But it can be seen that it has lost its previous elegance and calmness, and it is slightly startled at this moment.

"When borrowing something from someone, always say 'thank you'..."

The devil's voice is complex.

"So you want to hear my thanks?"

Gu Shen smiled: "But this is a 'deal'... Both parties have given something, you have given 'spiritual power', and I have given something, I have lived up to your hopes, and it should be you who came back alive. Say thank you to me."

"..."

The devil was completely silent.

It has never seen such a brazen person like Gu Shen.

"If there is nothing else, you can 'dismiss the meeting'."

Gu Shen opened his mouth lightly.

The shadow of the throne was speechless for a while, this guy is thick-skinned, he is not ashamed, but proud.

In fact.

Gu Shen's words are not "too big".

Making a deal with the devil... how could it be easy?
In this transaction, nothing seems to be lost.

But it's not that simple.

The "trading" beyond the current power is an addictive thing. Once there is the first time, there will be a second time, and a third time... The best way to face the devil is to ignore it and avoid it It, because once there is an intersection, "unknown" things will happen sooner or later.

and so--

Regarding the black shadow on the throne, Gu Shen has nothing to thank.

This transaction is nothing more than what each wants.

He wants to get back to the fort alive.

And the guy in the ruler is afraid of being abandoned to the [Old World].

If you think about it carefully, you will find that the arrangement of "Pluto" 20 years ago is very illogical... He left Wuzhou without bringing such a heaven-defying artifact with him.

Gu Shen thought a long time ago that this was an omission, negligence.

But look at it now...

Coincidences in the world may all be doomed!

Perhaps, it is this ruler that has its own thoughts.

Or maybe Pluto had foreseen his own end... Once he died in the [Old World], then this ruler would be doomed to drift among the torrents of particles outside the fortress, and no one would care about it for hundreds of thousands of years.

"and many more……"

The black shadow on the throne spoke again, and he tried to persuade Gu Shen to stay.

"Have you figured out how to deal with 'those troubles' after you go out?"

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes.

Are those troubles...referring to erasing the traces of using the ruler of truth?After the task of going out of the fortress is completed, the entire team will be interrogated to investigate the discipline of the legion, and they will definitely find out how the team returned to Gubao within the limited time.

And all the spearheads will be pointed at themselves.

Concealing power is indeed a trouble.

"Don't worry about it."

In this space, there seems to be a certain law that allows souls to meet each other frankly. The mental fluctuations of Gu Shen and Sombra are very clear, which means that once the two sides interrogate and answer, there will be no more secrets.

Gu Shen calmly looked at the throne, tried hard not to think about it, and said lightly: "Anyway, you don't care about the owner of the 'ruler'...do you?"

Faced with this rhetorical question.

The devil was silent again.

The mental space changed slowly, and the flow of time returned to normal. It took the initiative to end this meeting.

It seems that he was asked his own question to the bottom of his heart.

Gu Shen looked at the silver ruler in his hand expressionlessly.

Regarding the real purpose of the "devil"'s previous transaction, it is actually not difficult to guess. What it wants is for Gu Shen to bring the ruler and return safely to the fortress. Master, start the next transaction.

In this transaction, Gu Shen obtained a lot of information.

The ruler of truth is indeed an "evil weapon".

Every time it is used, there are side effects.

And every time you fully immerse yourself in it, the dark voice that always sounds from the bottom of your heart should come from the throne in the shadow... If the user is completely immersed in the power of the "Ruler of Truth", the devil will control this throne body.

Gu Shen didn't know how much authority this devil had in the ruler space.

What made him horrified was that during the "transaction" period, the Ruler of Truth could actually establish a spiritual link with the [Deep Sea] in the [Old World], which was simply a strange ability that surpassed the iron law of cognition.

The second thing to pay attention to is that the devil...has information about himself and Chu Ling.

Such a long time.

The Ruler of Truth has always been Gu Shen's trump card...it is carried with him anytime and anywhere.

Is it because of this reason that the devil has spied on his true spirit?

thought here.

Gu Shen felt a strong discomfort in his heart.

"Perhaps...you should find something with a special material to seal this ruler."

He immediately thought of [Black Silver]!
It is currently recognized as the highest-quality strong logic material in Wuzhou. Mr. Shan specially delivered it to him from Hades' mansion, and it can be used now!

……

……

Come back to your senses.

Gu Shen saw the situation clearly.

The team has successfully entered the defense line at this moment, the passageway is closed, but the roar of the storm still exists.

The tornado from the distant sky is approaching, and the thundering sound of sweeping is blocked by the "big umbrella" composed of hundreds of millions of floating boards... At this moment, many "backups" have come to the defense line to check the sudden change in the defense line , Not long after, exciting news spread throughout the entire fortress.

The second team of the Investigation Corps returned smoothly!
This is almost a "miracle" thing!

When the emergency rescue team arrived, Gu Shen and his party were carried on stretchers. Everyone looked confused. Gu Shen showed exactly the same reaction as them. His acting skills were good, and the medical staff were still nervous when he was carried into the car. Ask him if he feels pain...

Due to the "ultra-high speed" propulsion, the source armor was completely shattered.

After landing, the external skeleton of every team member cracked and shattered to the ground.

What's weird is that this terrifying internal propulsion didn't drain the energy, let alone cause damage to the players' bodies. The rescue team couldn't explain such a thing. It won't be long before the research experts from the Beizhou military will participate in it. , understand the details, but unfortunately they are destined to be unable to give an answer.

Because the answer is too ridiculous.

The rescue team checked the physical condition of the team members.

While asking about the details of the task of going out of the fortress.

This is a very important matter... because every year there are so many missions out of the fortress, after the completion, before the information can be passed on, the returnees encounter accidents.

The level of this maze task is very high.

It's a pity that these returnees who created the "miracle" didn't know anything about the final race against the storm.

Their performance is transient amnesia.

This is a normal reaction after "hypnosis".

After all, the hypnosis is stronger this time...

After gaining the power of the devil, Gu Shen used the Realm of Truth to cleanse everyone's hearts. It was not for doing bad things, but to ensure that the troubles after "escape" would be smaller and smaller.

There are many unsolved mysteries in this world.

He hoped that this escape from the storm would also become a mystery with no clues.

This way of coping is simple, rude, and powerful.

The rescue team asked again and found nothing to gain, so they didn't say anything more.

……

……

"You guys, this is..."

Yuan Yuan woke up slowly from his deep sleep, and he found that all the source armor on his body had been broken. At this moment, his whole body was exhausted, and he didn't even have the strength to lift a finger.

A group of medical staff in heavy protective suits surrounded him. In addition to wearing a full set of zero-dust isolation equipment, they also wore goggles and sunglasses that would only be used by the pilots of the energy boat when they landed.

What is this ghost?

Before he had time to think deeply, Yuan Yuan's consciousness suddenly became clear the next moment.

Because he saw a familiar face——

"team leader!"

The blond man sitting opposite him hummed lightly, signaling Yuan Yuan not to get excited.

With this roar, all the members in the spacious carriage suddenly became refreshed.

When a few burly men saw Zhong Yuan, their first reaction was to scream excitedly.

They were so excited not only because they had escaped from the difficult and dangerous situation of narrowly dying... It was also because the last time they met with the captain was before the mission in the disaster area of ​​the Dolu River was carried out.

That is an extremely dangerous joint operation, and it is said that many people will die!
They had been concerned for the captain's safety until they left Kürnburg.

Among the many squads of the investigation legion, the second team has a strong record. In addition, the survival rate is among the best. The reason is that they not only have strong strength, but also have reliable comrades who are worthy of absolute commitment...

The independent oath of the second team is "come back alive with your comrades in arms", which is not a simple slogan that can be said casually.

This point can be seen from Zhong Yuan's decision just now.

How many team leaders would leave the giant wall alone at the previous moment, risk their own lives, and try to rescue their teammates in the storm?

He is using his life to defend the precious spirit engraved in the soul of this team.

"Captain... woo woo woo..."

Li Chen who was nearby jumped over on the stretcher and grabbed the blond man's waist.

Then there was Mo Hongyi, this guy howled and moved over like a big dog, but unfortunately the distance was short, after he slid down, he could only hug the captain's thigh.

There was a lot of noise in the car at the moment.

There is nothing in this world more exciting than a reunion after a life-and-death crisis.

Zhong Yuan sighed helplessly, but there was a warm smile in his eyes.

He knew...these guys still had a lot to say to him.

There is also a lot of useful information about the maze quest.

But, now is not the time to reminisce.

……

……

"boom!!!"

A violent explosion sounded above everyone's heads, pulling the thoughts of all investigators back to reality. The sound was as dull as thunder, but very thick, piercing through the alloy iron plate of the carriage, and vibrating in the enclosed space .

Su He silently opened the car curtain.

The transparent thickened glass is gorgeous at this moment... Something exploded from the sky, and the silver-white light hangs down on the earth.

That was the sound of the energy cannon.

And, not just once.

Only at this moment did the team members realize that their current location cannot be counted as inside the fortress. Vehicles are galloping on the barren soil. This is the buffer zone of the [Umbrella Line of Defense], and it is also the most magnificent castle in the past 20 years. battlefield.

The clouds in the sky were blown away by the jet.

The 140 nine energy boats docked in the north of Gubao Fortress were dispatched in full force. These huge shadows were like giant whales, soaring in the sky. The first to fire was the [-] giant boats at the head. They had already reached the edge of the defense line and obtained The authority link of the LAN, [Umbrella Line of Defense] opened up a part of the scales, opening a special passageway for them.

The artillery fire illuminated the entire pitch-black [Umbrella Defense Line] at this moment. These terrifying chaotic forces brought the ultimate light to the world, and the whale-like shadow cast by the energy boat was completely torn apart. ...as if a god stretched out his palm, tearing apart the darkness of the world.

Looking at the people outside the car, their faces were all covered in silver.

The earth trembled.

In the sound of gunfire.

Zhong Yuan turned on the image of "Great Wall".

The deployment of the entire fortress at this moment can be seen very clearly in this image.

The energy boat has already been dispatched.

Before the final source of impact, human beings took the lead in attacking, trying to tear up the storm with heavy firepower!
"Rumble rumble..."

Gu Shen's vision was not obscured by the bombardment all over the sky.

He looked directly at the blazing light... Unlike others, he could see the clear trajectory of each shell, and these energy cannons were shot out intertwined, dyeing the sky silvery white.

He escaped into the defense line smoothly, but it didn't end there.

In other words, all of this has just begun.

Gu Shen knew that the real war had begun at this moment.

The speed of the vehicle galloping in the buffer zone of the Umbrella Defense Line is extremely fast at this moment... It's just that the direction of travel of this car is completely opposite to that of the Mantianyuan Energy Boat.

In the hustle and bustle of the world amidst the roaring artillery fire, Gu Shen's long-awaited, elegant and quiet slender voice sounded.

"Congratulations, you came back alive."

[Deep Sea] has prepared similar words of celebration for every returnee.

But only Gu Shen's voice was trembling.
