Bulwark of Light

Chapter 630 Embers
"Baixiu... I remember the name."

Mu Wanqiu nodded approvingly.

As a native of Beizhou, she has always been proud of her fighting ability and cultivation talent, but after meeting Gu Shen, Mu Wanqiu's mood changed.

There are people outside people, and there are days outside the sky.

S rank is just a talent rating after all, this is just the beginning!
There is still a long way to go for extraordinary practice. If you want to be brave and diligent, you must restrain your mind, calm down, and fight steadily.

For the "very strong, very strong" opponent that Gu Shen said, although she has not met, she has already paid attention to it.

"By the way..." Gu Shen coughed in a low voice, and said, "When you really meet him and challenge him in the future, don't mention me..."

Mu Wanqiu was slightly taken aback.

"I see... Is it because you two have a close relationship? If he mentions you, he might not go all out."

Even without saying more than Gu Shen, Mu Wanqiu "understood" the reason herself.

She solemnly said: "Don't worry, I won't mention it."

Gu Shen smiled in relief.

Little sleeve... Presumably you are also eager to fight against "S-rank" a lot, right?
The trivial matter of helping to contact the opponent is just a casual thing, so there is no need to thank yourself.

"I will carefully consider the trip to Dongzhou."

Mu Wanqiu put away the saber, and she said in a deep voice: "But after all, I am a member of the investigation team... I need to participate in many tasks of the first team on weekdays. If the leader of the army allows me, maybe I can go out for a while. time, but after all, we still have to focus on investigation tasks.”

Gu Shen nodded.

Mu Wanqiu is an important figure in the investigative legion, so it's not realistic to say that he would just leave.

"After I go back, I will see the leader of the legion."

Mu Wanqiu said seriously: "If conditions permit, I will write to you before leaving Dongzhou."

She held the knife and left, before parting, she saluted.

"Thank you for the past few days."

Mu Wanqiu said in a very soft voice: "It may be a blessing to meet you on the way to practice."

Gu Shen saluted back.

He stood in front of the small courtyard in Xuankong Mountain and watched Mu Wanqiu leave.

A moment later, a voice that had been silent for a long time sounded in the spiritual sea.

Chu Ling asked with a smile, "How is Miss Mu?"

"..."

Gu Shen had a vague feeling that something was wrong, why was there an ominous omen rising in the sea of ​​spirit?

He coughed lightly, quickly looked away, and said sincerely: "I think if you go to Dongzhou, you can introduce Shen Li."

"She takes winning too seriously."

Chu Ling chuckled, and she said seriously: "At first glance, Mu Wanqiu seems to be the same as Shen Li, a martial idiot who pursues martial arts strength, but in fact... she is different from Shen Li."

In Nagano back then, the little iron man came to find Gu Shen, and he never got tired of defeating and fighting.

What he enjoys is the process of confrontation.

As for the outcome... Shen Li has always known that there is only one possibility for him to challenge Gu Shen.

lose!
But even so, he still came to the door every day, and came to ask for a fight every day. In the end, what he wanted to do was to hold out a few tricks in the duel!
Ke Mu Wanqiu's challenges these few times are different from Shen Li's.

She wants to win.

And she's going out of her way to win!

In the past seven days, every time Mu Wanqiu's tactics and tactics have been greatly adjusted, it can be seen that she wants to push Gu Shen into a desperate situation, to force out of the final "field"... To achieve this step, Just relying on "S-level" talent is not enough. Every time she leaves the small courtyard in Xuankong Mountain, she must have spent a lot of time and energy in deduction and calculation.

Just like the first encounter, the duel in the "simulation cabin".

Mu Wanqiu is a ruthless person who pursues the outcome of the battle.

Rather than saying that she is warlike, it is better to say...she is warlike!

What she cares about is the moment of victory!
That's why such a person would feel frustrated in the duels with Gu Shen again and again.

Because she lost completely.

In Gu Shen's view, whether it is Shen Li or Mu Wanqiu, their "quality" is excellent fighting quality, the desire for victory, the pursuit of fighting... is the greatest motivation for an extraordinary person to keep moving forward.

But both Shen Li and Mu Wanqiu needed some adjustments.

"If I'm not mistaken... you want to include these two as [Apostles] in the future?"

Chu Ling said softly: "They are indeed good candidates."

Throughout the history of the Five Continents, there has never been a god seat in the past dynasties, like Gu Shen... at such a low level, he has finalized the identity of the "Master of the Fire Seed".

The Divine Throne chooses the [Apostle], and always chooses the "master".

Very few will select some "weak people" and cultivate them slowly.

But... like Gu Shen, it was the first time for him to choose an "Apostle" to grow up with him.

In the past history of the Continental Council, "Fire Seed" was the top sacred object. Once there was a vacancy, it had to be at least a title-level person to be eligible to participate in the competition!

"Yes."

Gu Shen murmured: "But it's too early to say [Apostle]..."

The things he did seemed to regard Shen Li and Mu Wanqiu as his friends.

If in the dark, the god of destiny is really looking down——

Then Gu Shen hopes that the person who can share the "power of dark fire" for him in the future is Shen Li and Mu Wanqiu.

Chu Ling, who was in Linglingyao, stared at Gu Shen who was standing quietly in front of the small courtyard in Xuankong Mountain through the [Sky Eye].

She smiled, "When Xiaoqiu comes to Nagano, you can take her to the Shrine Mountain."

Xiaoqiu...

Gu Shen noticed the change of title.

"It's not just your 'pure land', don't forget...the Guwen Society also needs 'fresh blood'."

Chu Ling said: "The 'meeting room' that sank in the deep sea has not been connected for too long... The 'embers' left all over the world always need a flame to ignite."

Mentioning the Ancient Literature Society, Gu Shen was in a daze for a while.

[Key] After opening the door, the meeting room became quieter.

Those dissipated "members of the Ancient Literature Association" were like catkins and dust, drifting away with the wind, and never contacted again.

This silence has lasted for a year.

"A year of silence is actually nothing... In the past, there was a longer period of silence. For everyone, silence means no bad news, no bad news... It is peace. In the era of being hunted down, What is more important than peace?"

Chu Ling saw through Gu Shen's thoughts.

"During this year, [Deep Sea] has been updated twice. Its self-evolution is getting faster and faster, and it seems that it wants to find loopholes in the 'system' through evolution."

Gu Shen frowned: "Looking for loopholes, isn't that..."

"Yes. [Deep Sea] is looking for 'me'." Chu Ling said calmly: "It keeps upgrading and searches in the deep water area. Maybe one day...it can really find 'Linglingyao' and the hidden Me in 'Zero Zero Unity'."

After hearing the words, Gu Shen fell into silence.

For a long time, he subconsciously believed that as the [source code] left by Mr. Turing, Chu Ling was absolutely safe in the deep water area...

But that's not the case.

The continuously compressed authority heralds the end of this AI confrontation.

"What will happen when I find you?" His voice was a little hoarse.

"do not know."

Chu Ling shook his head, "I can't calculate all of this... just like I can't see what kind of will lives under the [deep sea], what kind of wisdom it has, and what kind of wisdom it has. to the future."

"Perhaps... I will be swallowed up."

"Or maybe... I will be disbanded, abandoned, and become useless data?"

When Chu Ling said these words, she was sitting in Lingyaozhong's body, constantly reorganizing, and the code was sometimes condensed and sometimes diffused. She subconsciously performed another "deduction", but this time the "deduction" still ended in failure.

But unexpectedly, she didn't have much fear, and fear.

Perhaps it is because she is a part of [Deep Sea]. According to the system setting, being engulfed and destroyed is a "good ending", and there is no need to be sad or sad.

She raised her head and murmured, "Who knows?"

Speaking of this, the atmosphere suddenly became a little dignified.

"All in all... our time is not as easy as expected, but it is not extremely urgent."

Chu Ling saw Gu Shen's heavy heart, squeezed out a smile, and said hastily: "I wanted to tell you some good news... The 'meeting room' was reinforced by me, and I still remember the [key] to open the door to call Is it that big meeting? Thanks to that 'meeting', the 'embers' scattered all over the five continents, the 'spiritual link' of each of them was found by me along the veins of the deep water area bit by bit. Corresponding to the coordinate information in the real world."

This is a long project.

Mr. Turing personally created this [meeting room], and gave the "absolute security" guarantee beyond the authority of the highest seat.

Theoretically speaking, no one can see through the veil of [meeting room members].

Neither does the highest seat.

Because in the view of the "God's Throne", the Ancient Text Society has been completely broken... There is no such place as the [meeting room] in the deep water area.

But there is only one exception.

That is Chu Ling.

She is responsible for protecting the security of the [meeting room]... So when Mr. Turing is away, what she represents is the "absolute security" that exceeds the authority of the highest seat.

Gu Shen was shocked.

"You mean... all the files of the meeting room members have been sorted out?"

"A part." Chu Ling paused slightly, and said: "To be precise, a large part. There are always some intractable diseases that cannot be deciphered. For example, the '031' who often attends meetings and talks old-fashionedly, I can't find it in the real world. The specific coordinates, his spiritual connection line seem to be different from others."

"Of course, there are very few such existences... I'm in the process of final collection work. In at most one week, this file can be initially compiled."

Chu Ling said meaningfully: "It's just...you have to be mentally prepared..."

Gu Shen took a deep breath and asked earnestly, "What mental preparations do I need to make?"

"The Ancient Literature Society is a burnt embers."

Chu Ling said softly: "During the massacre that year, the flames were extinguished and the embers withered...As far as I know, there are many respectable members who escaped the massacre and have continued to struggle in the past 20 years , Constant confrontation, they gave everything, but in the end they did not usher in a good 'ending'."

"[The key] was found, but they have already left, gone forever."
