Bulwark of Light

Chapter 686 Leaders Meeting
Gu Shen was not late.

He just came a little late... But the time of the meeting was planned by these "big bosses".

Everyone here knows that Gu Shen has been retreating in Li's forbidden area.

The time for the original meeting was planned to take care of him, and ample time was deliberately set aside.

Now, it is enough for Gu Shen to arrive early.

Seeing Gu Shen, old man Gu Qilin smiled happily, and stretched out his hand to pat the empty seat beside him.

"Come, sit here with me."

Gu Shen hurriedly took his seat.

He sat at the long table and immediately felt a different atmosphere. This was the first time he participated in such a high-level meeting in the "real world"... It was completely different from those meetings of the Ancient Chinese Society.

There were a total of nine people in the meeting, except for him and the little girl Qingsui, the other seven were all titles!

This is really a giant standing at the top of Nagano.

Seeing the old man's excited appearance, Mr. Shan couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "No wonder I wasn't allowed to sit here earlier, that's why..."

Mr. Gu raised his eyebrows, and responded domineeringly: "We are in Nagano all day long, we don't see each other when we look up, do you want to stay with me when we have a meeting?"

Mr. Shan quickly raised his hands in surrender.

Gu Shen felt a little helpless for a moment, neither standing nor sitting.

The old man pressed his shoulders, let him sit down with peace of mind, and then smiled and knocked on the young man who had been looking forward to it for a long time: "It's been a while since I returned to Nagano from Beizhou, but you haven't come to see me at Gu's house all day, Xiao Gu...I love you for nothing."

"..."

It turned out to be waiting for me here!

Gu Shen felt a headache and didn't know how to answer.

Of course, he didn't forget the old man. In fact, when he came back from Beizhou, he thought about whether he should pay a visit——

Just thinking about the withered banyan tree in front of the Gu family’s ancestral hall, and thinking about the “Pluto calamity” on his body, Gu Shen finally dismissed this idea. He thought that before he found a way to suppress his own calamity, he should try his best to suppress the calamity. It is better to go out less and interact with people.

of course.

There is no need to worry about going to Kiyotsuka Mausoleum.

The "Pluto's calamity" in him is nothing to Bai Shu, even if he stays with Mr. Bai Shu all day, Kiyotsuka will not be infected by the ominousness brought by the fire of Hades.

"Next time, definitely next time..."

Gu Shen wiped off his cold sweat, and responded with a guilty conscience.

"What next time, this time!"

The old man snorted forcefully, dissatisfied with this perfunctory answer.

Then he changed his tone and asked meaningfully: "Xiao Gu, you should already know what happened in the tundra this time, right?"

"Well, I already know."

Gu Shen nodded.

On the way, Li Qingsui told him what happened in [Snow Cage] with great interest.

As for the specific information, Chu Ling had prepared it long ago. During the rush, Gu Shen listened to Li Qingsui's popular science gossip, and at the same time read it in detail in the spiritual sea...

Those present here are naturally aware of what [Xuelong] encountered earlier... Li Qingsui was elated in the car. She marveled at the imaginative posts on the deep water forum. "Traveler" and "Sky Sheath", two almost unrelated existences, are abruptly associated with each other.

The most important thing is that the guesses in that post are all correct!

In fact, the sudden change in the tundra prison this time is really confusing——

It has been nearly a year since the traveler drew his sword.

The reconstruction of the core area of ​​Tianshea was almost completed, but at this juncture, there was such a sudden change, and the investigation report sent back by Guixue and the others was fine.

Everything was quiet the night of the explosion.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

There are no external stimuli.

The "Sword in the Stone" that had stood quietly for hundreds of years suddenly exploded without warning!
"Has the cause of the secondary explosion been investigated?"

Gu Shen asked.

"Hmm..." The old man cast his gaze at Gu Nanfeng who was seated opposite him, and said meaningfully: "If you are interested in 'Sky Sheath Explosion', you might as well ask Nanfeng."

Gu Nanfeng shook his head regretfully, and said, "The reason for the second explosion...is still a mystery."

Gu Shen asked subconsciously: "When the explosion happened, was Tsukashi in the 'Sky Sheath Core Area'?"

"No...he's not here."

Gu Nanfeng was slightly taken aback, he didn't understand why Gu Shen asked such a question, was it because he was worried about the safety of the ghost?
"During the second explosion, he did not enter the prison, but was outside the iron wall of the snow cage. Fortunately, he did not step into the prison. He was almost stabbed to death by the fragments of the sky sheath blasted out by the explosion."

"Is that so?"

Gu Shen didn't ask any further questions, it's not the time to investigate the case yet.

Once everyone has arrived, the meeting will officially begin. Every attendee represents a "superpower" standing on the top of Dongzhou Jiangbei, the three major offices of ruling, prison, command, Gu Baibai, Mu Li, and the five masters. A well-deserved meeting of leaders of those in power in Nagano.

The ultimate goal of this meeting is to finalize the list of "retrieval tasks".

The paper documents were sent to the nine people present at the meeting.

"This is our preliminary list... mainly the 'core elites' that are sent by the five Jiangbei districts. Every transcendent on this list is no less than the third level." Chairman Zhou Wei introduced.

Gu Shen browsed the list, frowning slightly, but there were no acquaintances he knew on it.

"Everyone is invited to come here because...the Nagano side has not yet dispatched 'enforcers'."

Chairman Zhou Wei stood up and said slowly: "Nagano is the hub of Jiangbei. This time, we need to complete the hunting mission cleanly without affecting the 'judicial operation' of Jiangbei...you should understand what I mean."

If too many superhumans are sent to carry out the task of capturing and retrieving them in the tundra, then the "transcendents out of control" in the Jiangbei region and other events will tend to become unbalanced.

Speaking of this, Zhou Wei handed over the right to speak.

"Pang--"

On the long table, there was a heavy knocking sound.

Gu Qilin served as the commander in chief of this arrest mission. Now that it was time for him to appear on the stage, the old man said slowly: "The preliminary plan, this time the mission will be divided into eight teams. Before the final list of enforcers comes out, I hope that the three major institutes and the five masters will each send out a 'young man' who can command the team, this time the capture mission is a rare opportunity to sharpen."

Because Gu Qilin was the commander-in-chief, even the other Patriarchs didn't know the specific battle plan...

At this moment, Bai Xiaochi, Gongqing and the others looked at each other, their eyes became serious.

Yes.

This time, the escape from the Tundra Prison was an excellent test. Even if Gu Qilin didn't open his mouth at this meeting, they would request that the core members of the family be added to the mission!
"We need a 'leader'."

The old man leaned forward slowly, and said calmly: "Everyone, please push the trustworthy and trustworthy person under your command to this position... Now is the time when the stars are shining, and there is no better task than this mission." Here's the chance."

In the conference room, there was silence for a few seconds.

"The Bai family... recommends Baixiu."

Bai Xiaochi was the first to break the tranquility. On the way here, the Patriarch of the Bai family was thinking about the things to be promoted in today's meeting...Since Gu Qilin announced the battle plan for selecting the leader, he will save trouble, Just push the boat along the way and launch the "future leader" of the Bai family.

Let White Sleeve join the battle as one of the eight young leaders of the Law Enforcement... This is a decision that will not cause any controversy.

Because this evildoer of the Bai family is really too strong.

In the past few years, as Xiaoxiuzi became stronger and stronger, most of the tasks he performed were completed perfectly by himself. It sounds a bit like Lu Zhe, the captain of the first team of the Beizhou Investigation Corps, because his personal strength is too strong , but unable to fight with teammates.

But in fact, Xiaoxiuzi had many records of "team fighting" in his early years.

This is a "perfect genius" in the true sense, he can take up any position in the team... In the end, the reason why he fought alone was not because of his personality flaws, but because he was already a complete team by himself , Normal small tasks, and then go around him to match, but it is a waste.

After Bai Xiaochi pushed this person out, there was no voice of opposition in the conference room.

After a moment of silence, Mr. Shan asked with interest: "I have a question... Would Baixiu be willing to join the battle?"

In recent years, Baixiu has been acting alone.

In the public's mind, this evildoer of the Bai family is very "overwhelmingly cold"... If he joins such a large-scale organized battle, he must be one of the leaders.

Instead, everyone was a little worried, and he didn't want to join.

Bai Xiaochi glanced at Gu Shen lightly, and said, "As soon as the list is finalized, he will come."

Look what I'm doing... Gu Shen rubbed his forehead.

The next election went relatively smoothly without any twists and turns. The Gong family recommended Gong Zi, who is also a well-deserved genius leader, won the rookie championship, and is also the future successor of the Gong family.

"Bai Chen" was recommended by the prison. This is the same dominant powerhouse as Gu Qilin. This time, the statistics of the superhumans who escaped from the tundra are still being counted...but it has been confirmed that there are escapees with titles.

If you want to execute this mission perfectly, you must have a titled strong man who sits in the team of law enforcement officers.

The two titles that stabilize people's hearts——

One is Gu Qilin, and the other is Bai Chen from the Bai family.

In fact, judging from the seats in today's meeting, it can be seen that... Nagano's real talker is the Gu Bai family.

Among the nine seats in this meeting, there are three with the surname Gu. Although Gu Shen is not a member of the Gu family, he was gifted by Gu Changzhi. In a sense, he is a member of the Gu family camp.

As for the strength of the Bai family, let alone.

The two gods who protect Nagano, one is surnamed Gu, and the other is surnamed Bai.

The geniuses emerging from the Bai family are no less sharp than the Gu family. Bai Chen and Bai Xiu almost perfectly correspond to Gu Nanfeng and Gu Shen.

Li's recommendation was not unexpected.

Li Qingsui directly recommended herself. Now she is not the real head of the family who can make Li's bow down. If she wants to succeed smoothly, she needs to have enough "wrists". Chance.

She is still young and lacks strength, but with Uncle Gao following her, she doesn't have to worry about her own safety being affected.

The push is almost done.

In this list of leaders, there are almost no unfamiliar names.

In addition to the Mu family, Mu Yi recommended a young man named "Mu Qingyang".

This is a genius of the assault department who was sent to Jiangbei to carry out missions. His aptitude is good enough and his strength is strong enough. However, he has already become a fourth-order at the age of 27. It's just that Mu Qingyang is not in Nagano most of the time, so everyone has no regard for him. What impression... But when the Mu family gave the young man's information, no one raised any objections.

Such a young Tier [-], although not as good as an S Tier, is still very good!
Everyone was a little surprised. They didn't expect that the "Mu family", who ranked lower among the five families, would hold such a good card in their hands. If someone like Mu Qingyang came to Nagano earlier, then he might become a Other than Gu Shen and Bai Xiu, the third person of the hour.

At last.

Mr. Gu recommended "Luo Yu" in the command post, this is the genius commander in the command post, and also the deputy hand-picked by him for this mission... Having been stationed in the tundra for so long, this time the capture mission also needs to be familiar with Terrain smarts.

The push is drawing to a close.

It's almost time for me to speak...who should I recommend?

Gu Shen has a headache, he doesn't know many acquaintances in the court, the nine judges seem to be a bit old, and among the young people who are strong enough, he knows too little.

The senior sister is still in Dadu, probably still recuperating from the injury caused by Suzaku.

Even if she is in Nagano, with her character, it seems that she will not accept the recommendation of the "leader"——

Just as Gu Shen was making quick calculations in his mind, after the old man finished his speech, he changed the subject: "Zhou Jiren and I have been friends for many years... Let me recommend Zhou Jiren."

Gu Qilin smiled and said, "I recommend Gu Shen as the 'leader' of the Judgment Office to participate in the mission this time."

Gu Shen: "???"

"Everyone, do you have any objections?" the old man asked softly.

Several Patriarchs in the conference room nodded one after another. This is also an uncontroversial candidate.

He looked at the old man with a complicated expression, and suddenly understood the true meaning of Gu Qilin's previous sentence "this time", and also understood the reason why Bai Xiaochi cast a meaningful look at him.

He suspects that he has long been the default "leader"!
He even suspected that Gu Qilin, who was in charge of leading the battle, chose to launch this leader plan because he wanted to elect a "leader" among "leaders" in this capture mission——

Obviously, it's me!

The old man also looked at Gu Shen with a smile, "kindness" was written all over his face at this moment.

Gu Shen read the meaning in the old man's eyes.

long time no see...

Since you haven't visited for so long.

Then this time the capture mission, why not come with me!
