Bulwark of Light

Chapter 687 If, It's Really a Sword
End of the meeting.

In the end, the list of eight young leaders was finalized——

Except for Gu Nanfeng and Bai Chen, the two Nagano pillars who have grown up, the other leaders are all very young.

The purpose of the old man's arrangement is very simple. The new generation of Nagano needs a beautiful "battle" to prove their strength and status. In fact, every dynasty change is like this. This time the snow cage burst, just to give Nagano Future leaders, as well as those mainstays, are used to sharpen their blades!
After the meeting ended, Mr. Gu hugged Gu Shen's shoulders affectionately, and the two climbed up to the roof together from the exclusive passageway. The highest floor of the Safety Committee Building had already prepared a heavy machine that went directly to the tundra.

A strong wind swept across the oars, and there was still a faint chill of wind and snow.

"Xiao Gu, how does it feel to be elected as a 'leader'?" The old man asked deliberately.

Gu Shen was silent for a while.

He has every reason to believe that all this is arranged by the old man.

"This time the mission area is extremely wide, covering the entire tundra." Gu Qilin smiled and said: "But don't worry, the Beizhou military will bear half of the pressure. connected."

"Oh?"

Gu Shen raised his eyebrows.

Beizhou will also participate in this battle?

Thinking about it, after all, the rupture of [Snow Cage] was caused by letting the traveler act freely... Now that Central City and Nagano have good relations, the relationship between the two continents is rapidly heating up. This kind of accident, the military of Beizhou Will definitely help.

It seems that this time the joint arrest may meet acquaintances.

After the two battles of Gubao and Duolu River.

All the famous generals in Beizhou's fortresses are acquainted with Gu Shen.

Gu Shen asked: "Since it is cooperation between two continents, what do we need to do?"

"The inventory results of the Tundra Prison have just come out. This time the sky sheath collapsed, and a total of 310 four 'criminals' escaped and escaped." Gu Qilin said calmly: "Next, I will join hands with the 'Purple Rain' of Beizhou Commanding, each commanding one side, and what the law enforcement officers in Nagano have to do is very simple... that is, shrinking the encirclement from south to north. This capture mission is actually not complicated. Our ultimate goal is to confirm the identity of the four criminals from 310 True identity, specific location."

Gu Shen nodded slowly.

He heard it very clearly, including the meaning behind what the old man said.

What is "identity confirmation"?
Capturing... It's not about bringing these criminals back into the cage.

Prison breaking is a felony!
These people are extremely dangerous "criminals"——

"Do you understand what I mean?" The old man paused slightly, and said, "When necessary, you can kill him."

"clear."

Gu Shen and the old man boarded the plane one after the other, and he said sincerely: "Commander, before the operation starts, I want to see [Snow Cage], is that okay?"

The old man smiled, and while adjusting the seat, he looked at Gu Shen meaningfully.

This kid is quite "polite"——

At a time like this, he actually called himself "Commander-in-Chief" so unreasonably!
"This is Dongzhou, not Beizhou."

Gu Qilin patted the little guy on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't be so serious, the next front line encirclement and suppression, you have a heavy task on your shoulders, and there are many things to do. When the task starts, some of you will call me 'Commander Commander'." 'When we met in private now, I hope you will change your address, it’s too rude to call you that.”

What a sensitive old guy.

Gu Shen sighed softly in his heart.

He rubbed the center of his brows and asked, "But, from the moment the meeting ends, the task has begun, right?"

"I am the 'Commander-in-Chief'. I say the mission begins, and the mission begins!" The old man straightened his back, and his tone was very strong: "I said you are not allowed to call me Commander-in-Chief, and you are not allowed to call me!"

"It's... the Commander-in-Chief."

Gu Shen was very cooperative, and immediately responded, but he deliberately emphasized the four words that the old man didn't want to hear, which was a small joke.

Then he asked helplessly, "So on weekdays...how should I call you?"

"..."

Heavy aircraft take off.

As the Snow Forbidden City rapidly became smaller in the field of vision, the noise and roar came through the window, slapping and making a dull sound.

The wind and snow entangled with the autumn leaves of Nagano and shattered together. The crackling sound was like the water droplets breaking after the rain fell.

Inside the cabin.

It was so silent and quiet for a while.

"Just call me 'Old Guy'."

Mr. Gu stroked the beard stubble on his chin, his eyes lost in memory. After a long time, he coughed softly, woke up from the memory, and explained with a smile: "I like this name, you will call it that from now on."

The queen pilot who was driving the heavy machine couldn't help but choked on his saliva.

This old man is the "big commander" who controls the entire command post!

Old guy, this title is too disrespectful...

Gu Shen wouldn't really dare to shout, would he?
"Okay, old guy." Gu Shen smiled and said, "It's a good thing you didn't let me call you an old man."

"If you like the latter, you can also call it that way." Gu Qilin was quite generous, and said lightly: "I have always thought that this is not a derogatory term, but a kind of praise from the heart. When I was young At that time, I liked to call the grandfather who lived for nearly a hundred years that way."

"..."

Gu Shen was completely silent, not knowing how to respond.

The old man really hasn't changed at all. From being young and vigorous to now, his tough life doesn't need to be explained.

However, the name of the old guy seems to have some historical origins?

……

……

After the iron wall was shattered this time, [Snow Cage] could be said to be seriously injured.

The second "reconstruction" project is more complicated, cumbersome, and huge than before.

This time, the sky sheath collapsed, sputtering out a lot of debris!

These fragments pierced the iron wall and scattered everywhere... It must be known that the power of the sword in the stone can suppress the extraordinary surge. Cleaning up these fragments can be regarded as a high-risk task. "The phenomenon, fortunately, short-term contact will not bring about permanent effects. Today, around the tundra prison, there are a large number of extraordinary people who are alternately working in [Snow Cage].

Gu Qilin's heavy machine stopped.

"Mr. Xue", who was in charge of monitoring the entire prison, immediately rushed over to pick him up.

"Mr. Gu." Mr. Xue greeted respectfully, "You actually came in person?"

Earlier on the plane, Gu Qilin told Gu Shen that he didn't like being called "shengfen", and he hoped that Gu Shen could call him "old guy" in private in the future, which would make him feel close.

But these words were only for Gu Shen.

From the attitude of the title-level Mr. Xue, one can tell... the true status of this old man in Nagano!
"Well, I'm here to see someone off."

Gu Qilin has many things to do, and his main task is not to investigate the case.

The old man patted Gu Shen on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "You should have met him before, so I won't introduce more. Little Gu came to Xuelong to investigate the 'secondary explosion' that occurred in the sky sheath, please take care of him."

Mr. Xue glanced at Gu Shen in surprise.

Of course he knew the "famous" Nagano S-Class in front of him, but he didn't expect that the old man would care so much about Gu Shen... He even made a special trip to send him off for a mere case investigation. With Gu Shen's current status, Even if he came alone and asked to investigate the case, he would treat him politely.

"Don't worry." Mr. Xue smiled wryly, and quickly agreed.

"Please trouble Mr. Xue."

Gu Shen saluted.

The heavy plane took off again, and amidst the roar, the tense Gu family temporary base, the atmosphere visible to the naked eye eased a lot.

Gu Qilin's "arrival" made many people deeply nervous.

"Mr. Gu, long time no see."

Mr. Xue looked at this young junior gently, and said with approval in his eyes: "Your spirit has improved again."

The last time we met was half a year ago.

At that time, Gu Shen hadn't been promoted to the eighth floor of the deep sea.

Now his eyebrows are surrounded by a "warm" spiritual aura... In this icy tundra, it is quite a rare power, and Mr. Xue can feel the "vitality" contained in this spiritual aura.

"Mr. is rude."

Gu Shen looked in the direction of the sword in the stone, and asked, "Is it convenient for me to enter the current 'Heaven Sheath Core Area'?"

"Yes...but please be careful."

Mr. Xue said softly: "The riot in the core area has been suppressed. The previous shock caused a large number of criminals to escape. Although peace has returned, there are broken stone sword fragments everywhere. If you want to go in and have a look, I will I can accompany you."

"Then thank you for your hard work."

Gu Shen took a deep breath and organized his thoughts.

Last time, the traveler pulled out the stone sword, and he felt the majestic power... That is indeed the power that can only be erupted by fire-level creatures. Even that power did not destroy the "stone sword". This time, how could it be so powerful? Sudden explosion?

All the way.

He saw the cage temporarily built in the tundra prison, and large pieces of purple silver were luxuriously used to seal the prison. This time the "prison escape" made the [Snow Cage] nearly half empty, and the remaining criminals were not It is "abiding by the law".

It's because the explosion fragments produced by the sky sheath are random.

Some people are very lucky, the prison was destroyed by the stone sword, there is no need to do anything, and the way to escape from the prison appears in front of them.

In fact, these prisoners trapped in the prison are not considered "bad luck". The real unlucky ones have already died in the aftermath of the sky sheath explosion, pierced by the stone sword, lost their ability, and died directly.

It is said that the night before, the outer area of ​​[Snow Cage] was affected by the explosion, and the picture was extremely bloody and bleak. The extraordinary criminals in this area are relatively weak. Many people were "killed" by Shi Jian Sui Pan, and the corpses in the prison were incomplete. , are transported out by trucks one by one.

"Want to see footage of the 'Second Explosion'?"

Mr. Xue said: "Because the power of the shock wave is too great, [Deep Sea] can only capture a limited amount of the scene at that time. I will send it to you mentally."

"No need."

Gu Shen shook his head and said, "I've seen it."

Chu Ling passed these images to him on the shrine mountain.

Due to the rudimentary monitoring of [Deep Sea] in the tundra, the related images of the second explosion are actually of no reference value.

Gu Shen came to the sky scabbard, looked at the sword in the stone with most of its shell peeled off, and asked slowly: "Excuse me, Mr. Xue... Your duty is to monitor the entire prison. When the explosion happened, didn't you What's the difference?"

"No."

Mr. Xue shook his head, and said frankly: "On the night of the explosion, the 'ghost' and I patrolled the tower together, and no one approached the core area... The explosion happened quite abruptly."

Gu Shen got straight to the point, "Where was Tsukagui at that time?"

He has always felt that the identity of the ghost of the tomb is unusual, maybe it has some hidden connection with the "Sword in the Stone", can read ancient Chinese fluently, and realize translation... This kind of talent is not something that ordinary people can possess.

It's just that he had already used "spiritual hypnosis" on Tsukagui before, and the guy's spiritual sea could be seen at a glance.

Tsuka Oni is not a hidden person with deep scheming.

I don't know if this is good news or bad news... Gu Shen's intuition has always been accurate, but this time, the clues to track down the "Traveler's Tinder" were cut off by Zuka Ghost.

After Gu Shen finished speaking, he hurriedly added: "Mr. Xue, don't think too much. The reason why you ask this question is because Tsukashi is my friend, and he is not a suspicious criminal."

"Don't worry, I can see it."

Mr. Xue smiled: "If you rank by strength, your friend should be the weakest Transcendent within a hundred miles. To summon the 'Sky Sheath', even if you line up for [-] miles, it won't be his turn."

"..."

Gu Shen also gave a wry smile.

"The ghost was in that direction, outside the iron wall." Mr. Xue said slowly: "Because of his special status, I noticed his whereabouts as soon as he left the temporary base... At that time, I deliberately had a fight with the ghost. Communication, once he stepped into the [Snow Cage], intercept it. But he just went around the base and didn't step into the prison."

After listening, Gu Shen fell into deep thought.

Tsuka Oni didn't step into the base, could it be that he really worried too much?
"How is he now?"

"He is still in a coma, and he was seriously injured. A large number of fragments from the collapsed sky sheath pierced his skin. If there is no accident, he may lose his ability for a long time in the future..." Mr. Xue looked pitifully : "But it's not a big problem, after all, his extraordinary strength is already very weak."

Tsuka Oni does not rely on his own strength.

So... this should be regarded as a blessing in misfortune, even if he was deprived of his "supernatural" by the fragments of the sky sheath, he can still live, and being alive is the greatest luck in this world.

The two came to the edge of the core area of ​​the sky sheath.

There is a thick fog here, and the snow and dust are flying, covering the line of sight, and it is difficult to release the mental power.

Under normal circumstances, the prison officer monitoring the "Snow Cage" would not enter the core area... Once entered, his extraordinary ability would be more or less affected.

But Gu Shen didn't hesitate, he stepped directly into the fog.

"Om" sound.

His mental power is very sharp, and the power emanating from the sky sheath was captured instantly...

The sky sheath really lived up to its reputation.

This breakup made its "power of suppression" even stronger.

Stepping into the core area of ​​"Sword in the Stone", Gu Shen immediately felt that the source quality revolving around him became alienated, and the speed of agglomeration also became very slow.

Mr. Xue followed closely behind. He was a title, and the stronger the transcendent, the stronger his resistance would naturally be.

The two stood in the mist in silence.

Gu Shen raised his head and looked at the "Sword of Stone" that continued to grow toward the zenith.

"Mr. Gu, did you see anything?"

After standing still for a while, Mr. Xue asked a gentle question... This place is not a good viewing platform. If the old man hadn't personally instructed him earlier, he would not have set foot here.

"I don't see anything, but I have a question."

Gu Shen spoke.

He stretched out his finger, pointed to the high flowing clouds surrounding the sky sheath above his head, and asked seriously: "Do you think... if there are more explosions and the pieces of the sky sheath are all shattered, what will be inside?"

Mr. Xue was stunned.

This question really caught him.

After all the pieces of the sky sheath exploded, what was left inside?
Over the years, the big shots in Dongzhou have never thought about this problem...

Gu Shen paused slightly, and said with a slightly emotional tone: "Don't you think that the Stone Sword really looks like a sword?"

"...You don't think this is really a sword, do you?"

Mr. Xue couldn't hide the surprise in his tone.

It has been 600 years. The reason why this thing is called "Sky Sheath" and "Sword of Stone" is just because everyone thinks the shape is similar.

Are you kidding me? How could there really be a thousand-meter-high sword in this world that could cut through Tianyun?
"Why can't you think so?"

Gu Shen asked back: "What if it is really a sword?"

Mr. Xue was speechless.

"Suppose...these stone shells are just a layer of scabbard."

Gu Shen smiled casually and said: "Then the stone shell peeled off, and the last thing left should be the sword body... The scabbard exploded, maybe the 'sword body' inside was about to come out."

At this moment, Mr. Xue's expression gradually changed.

He fell into silence, and his expression became serious.

"Relax, I'm just talking casually. Don't take it seriously."

Gu Shen squeezed out a smile, and said: "The old man said that I came to investigate, but how can we find out the cause of this unexplainable extraordinary incident? I just want to see the scene, and by the way, I'll have a look at the ghost..."
