Bulwark of Light

Chapter 57
There is no never-ending feast.

The old shops in the alleys are closed, and the lights on the street corners are dim.

"I'm going to meet an old friend."

Mr. Shu opened the car door with a cigar in his mouth, and said with a smile, "It's only after eleven o'clock, there's still time, who wants a ride?"

Everyone quickly shook their heads and refused.

No one wants to get in the teacher's car in the middle of the night and be hacked to pieces in the street.

"What a tasteless young man." Zhou Jiren put on his sunglasses and started the engine silently by himself. He waved his hand and rode away amidst the roar.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief seeing the supercar disappear from view.

"I thought, teacher's taste..."

Zhong Wei shook his head and said, "It's inversely proportional to his strength."

"There is indeed a little bit..." Luo Er sighed lightly: "It's different."

"It should be a little bit." Gu Shen smiled wryly, "Do you know how painful my journey was?"

"If it was me..." Nan Jin, who had been silent all this time, also said seriously: "I will definitely not get in the teacher's car."

The four leaned against the side of the street and looked at each other.

Then they couldn't help laughing out loud.

After the laughter in the wind stopped slowly, there was even a little melancholy of parting.

"Okay. I'm not like a certain S-class, and I have a special plane to pick me up."

Luo Er smiled and said: "I won't say much about parting, everyone take care."

Zhong Wei smiled in a low voice, and said, "I'll send one to Senior Sister."

The two figures went so far away.

So when the wind blows again.

There were only two lonely people left on the street.

Gu Shen, Nan Jin.

……

……

"It's not too far from the apartment... I'm going to walk back."

Nan Jin walked slowly along the corner of the street, her shadow was slowly elongated by the distant street lamp nailed to the wall, she looked to her side: "What about you?"

"Hey, coincidentally, that's what I planned too."

Gu Shen was delighted when he heard it, "You don't know, taxis are very expensive in Qinghe District at night. It's good to walk back, in fact, if you're in a hurry, I can accompany you for a ride."

Nan Jin smiled silently.

Gu Shen realized that this seemed to be the first time seeing Nan Jin smile tonight.

Tonight's dinner... She seemed to have something on her mind all the time, she didn't talk much, and drank silently by herself.

"I'm leaving Qinghe tomorrow, and I don't know what the next mission is..." Gu Shen murmured, "Senior Sister Luo is going to Nagano, and Senior Brother Zhong should be with her... Nan Jin, you never said, What are your plans next?"

Nan Jin remained silent tonight.

No one knows where she's going next.

"do not know."

Her answer was simple: "If there was no escape of A-009, I should not be in Qinghe anymore. According to my past habits, I will continue to perform missions without interruption."

"Now?" Gu Shen asked curiously.

"I want to stop and take a rest." Nan Jin's answer was still very short.

"It's good." Gu Shen thought for a while, "If you feel tired, take a good rest."

"I am not tired."

Nan Jin's voice sounded a little helpless and a little irritable.

However, Gu Shen didn't notice it.

He scratched his head, "Actually, I don't quite understand your desperate Saburo... Although I am also a person with tasks now, I also want to go back to Wulaoshan to see my mother-in-law and children every now and then. By the way, what about your family, if you rest, do you want to go back and have a look?"

Nan Jin's eyes flickered.

This time she didn't say anything.

"Teacher and senior brothers and sisters all say that you are working so hard, it makes people feel distressed." Gu Shen continued to mutter to himself, "I'm quite curious, do you have any reason to work so hard? "

"..."

Nan Jin stood still.

Gu Shen was stunned, and saw Nan Jin waved his hand, and a taxi in the distance slowly stopped.

"Don't get me wrong, this is the car I called you."

Nan Jin said softly: "I want to walk back alone. But you are too noisy."

Gu Shen: "???"

"Good luck with your mission."

Nan Jin pressed Gu Shen's head into the car door with one hand, and said calmly: "The next time we meet, don't talk so much."

Send Gu Shen away.

Nan Jin felt that the whole world was clean.

She let out a long breath, and leaned against the street wall beside her with a sigh of relief.

The night is dark.

Dim and mottled lights flickered in the alleys at the corners, and the dark figures on the walls lowered their heads. The light and shadow seemed to be flickering and changing, and there was a bloody smell in the wind.

Nan Jin whispered a name softly.

"Cui Zhongzhong..."

……

……

"This guy Nan Jin... is too much..."

Gu Shen dared not speak out when he was forced into a taxi.

In fact, he wasn't that angry... He felt it during the dinner party. After a certain person's name was mentioned, Nan Jin's expression changed slightly.

Cui Zhongcheng.

When investigating Han Dang's files, Gu Shen actually tried to check other people's files... Sister Luo and Mr. Shu's files are more confidential than Han Dang's, but Senior Brother Zhong Wei's can be viewed normally.

But Nan Jin's file was secretly blocked.

The level of confidentiality of her files is very high. Judging from the deep sea authority that Chu Ling can unlock at present, there is no way to crack it.

This is actually a noteworthy detail.

The files of Senior Sister Luo and Teacher are classified as confidential because they themselves have too strong extraordinary power... Although Nan Jin's strength is good, it is not enough to use the authority of the deep sea to block it to such an extent.

Archives sealed her past.

And she... Obviously, she didn't want to mention the past to herself.

"Tsk tsk... Brother and sister, everyone has a story."

Gu Shen put on the earphones, and murmured with emotion: "If in the novel, this kind of desperate Saburo is probably carrying an unresolved blood feud..."

In the earphones, the rustling sound sounded.

"Maybe they are just practicing hard?"

Chu Ling completed the link in a second, and reminded very seriously: "You can't harbor malicious intentions about other people's past experiences!"

"sorry Sorry……"

Gu Shen was taken aback, and quickly apologized, "So you've been listening all the time, can I still have some privacy?"

"I only connect peripherals when you are alone."

Chu Ling snorted: "Who cares about your privacy."

"Cough cough..."

Gu Shen lowered his voice, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "However, you came at the right time. I was looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally I have you here."
