Bulwark of Light

Chapter 785 Mr. Key (First update! Ask for a monthly pass!)

Under the night, the high walls of the S3 living area were pitch black.

The fiery red [lantern] floats in the air, like fish swimming.

"Mr. Zhuang..."

Gu Shen smiled.

What he was waiting for was this moment, when he previously locked on the "S3 Living Area" and the entire South Cave...in order to meet the "Neutral".

"You know I'm not dead yet?"

Zhuang Su still had his hands in his pockets, he was very interested in Gu Shen, from the kid's reaction when he saw him, he knew that he had already guessed the "truth" about himself.

But, how did Gu Shen know?
The neutrals have been silently observing the Sangzhou Grotto...

From many years ago.

until now.

They can know all the troubles on this island at the first time, so the moment [Deep Sea] opened the entrance to Area F, they knew... that an "outsider" had entered.

Not only that.

Mr. Zhuang also knew that Vias personally led the way and led Gu Shen and his party into the South Cave.

That being the case... Gu Shen should know that "he" is dead.

"How do you know?" Zhuang Su couldn't help asking.

The faint smile on Gu Shen's face is enough to explain the answer to the previous question.

As for the latter.

"Mr. Zhuang, I always have my 'secret'." Gu Shen smiled and said, "Just like...you have your secret."

This is the first meeting.

From the distance between the two, you can feel...

Both sides are not "candid" enough.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Gu Shen to confess to Mr. Zhuang and the neutral.

"That's it."

Mr. Zhuang nodded.

He suddenly stretched out a hand and grabbed it towards Gu Shen.

This catch came without warning!
But the effect is remarkable, the space on the high wall freezes instantly——

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes, and he also stretched out his hand.

"boom!"

A sound of gold and iron colliding exploded in the air.

Mr. Zhuang's cuffs fluttered in the night wind, and he stepped back again, putting his outstretched left hand back into his pocket...

Gu Shen looked as usual.

He glanced at his palm covered by "skin of iron scales". The collision between the electric light and flint just now was not too small. [Iron Throne] defended instantly, so he didn't hurt himself.

but……

His "psychic perception" still didn't warn him of the danger.

"Is this the 'big hero' who saved the South Cave during the day?" Mr. Zhuang said indifferently: "Why do I feel that the name is not worthy of the name."

Gu Shen couldn't help laughing.

The livid color on his skin gradually receded and returned to its original state.

Mr. Zhuang wanted to test himself.

Or in other words...the neutral wants to test himself.

"This doesn't seem to be an attitude of 'talking'." Gu Shen was not annoyed, he still smiled: "The people in the living area of ​​S3 all respect you, and you have saved many of them. I always thought that... we can become" ally'."

"Yes, I thought so too."

Mr. Zhuang also smiled: "I did come here from a neutral person. They hoped that I could have a good talk with you. I have to say that after you came to the South Cave, the superficial skills you did were so beautiful that they almost made everyone feel ashamed." I was lied to, at least most of the neutral people didn't see that the 'black curtain wall' you set up in the South Cave during the day was full of ominous..."

Pause slightly.

Mr. Zhuang asked quietly: "If you guessed correctly, it is the mental toxin left by the 'Pluto'?"

"..."

Gu Shen fell silent.

He sighed softly, he didn't expect that the trick he played for Xizhou Zhongzhou would be misunderstood by "Mr. Zhuang" and see through the source.

obviously.

Mr. Zhuang misunderstood.

However, before Gu Shen could explain, the robed figure in the dark night charged up again.

Mr. Zhuang stepped on the ground that was not covered by "green frost", and his figure was as fast as lightning. He was obviously a spiritual supernatural being, but he possessed terrifying physical combat power that did not match him.

"boom!"

There was another crisp sound.

The two faced each other on the high walls of the S3 area, with iron-scaled skin covering their palms. At the moment they fought, Gu Shen squinted his eyes. In the fiery vision, he finally saw Mr. Zhuang's left hand clearly...

That is an alloy iron hand!
No wonder……

He kept his palms in his sleeves and couldn't get them out of his pockets.

No wonder, a psychic can possess such terrifying melee combat power!

"Bang bang bang bang-"

The green frost spread, and the city walls exploded one after another with muffled noises.

Mr. Zhuang's figure was extremely erratic, like a butterfly, stepping on the narrow area not covered by the green frost, he moved around as much as possible, he deliberately avoided Gu Shen's domain... But Gu Shen never had any "killing intent" from the beginning to the end, At this moment, the domain has been closed, even if he stepped on the green frost in the pure land domain, he would not be frozen.

"Isn't this young man a psychic? How can he fight so well?"

After fighting for more than a hundred rounds, Mr. Zhuang was a little puzzled because he couldn't attack for a long time.

He didn't expect that Gu Shen could fight so well!
During the day, Gu Shen slaughtered the beast hordes, relying on "spiritual ability", so he has been guarding his heart lake, guarding against attack and killing, but now it seems that it has developed into a pure melee wrestling, a competition of strength.

Mr. Zhuang changed from one hand to two hands.

Gu Shen still dealt with it with one hand, but the speed of his moves was accelerated.

Hit again.

Mr. Zhuang felt vaguely... that his mechanical prosthesis was about to smoke. The young man was still as calm as ever, with a faint smile on his face.

obviously.

This is feeding yourself.

He stopped abruptly.

"Senior, why don't you continue?"

Gu Shen also stopped immediately, and asked with a smile: "Do you want to rest? No rush. I'll wait for you here. You can start anytime after rest."

"you……"

Mr. Zhuang laughed angrily.

As a result, he suddenly felt that this kid was different from what he had imagined.

"If senior doesn't fight enough, I can fight with senior until dawn."

Gu Shen said lightly: "If senior has had enough, you might as well take a rest, and give me a chance to 'breathe', so that I can explain a few words."

"..."

Mr. Zhuang was completely silent.

Only then did he realize that after breaking through the "spiritual poison", he would not give this young man a chance to speak.

Can't blame him for that.

20 years ago.

Pluto is indeed a notorious figure.

Who could be a good guy who used the "Pluto's Poison"?
Back then, if I gave this kind of person a chance to speak, I would be the one who was unlucky!
"This poison...is indeed 'Pluto'."

Gu Shen said calmly: "It's just that I snatched it from 'Pluto'."

"???"

This statement came out.

Mr. Zhuang's expression is very exciting.

"You? You snatched it from 'Pluto'?"

Mr. Zhuang looked at Gu Shen with a complicated expression... He wondered if this young man had drunk too much tonight?

Although it has a fourth-level combat power, if it is placed in the legion that the Holy Inquisitor used to crusade against Hades... it can barely be regarded as a large "cannon fodder".

but……

Gu Shen really didn't lie about this matter.

The Duolu river poison is a token traded between "Pluto" and "Traveler". It was taken away by Gu Shen at the bottom of the Styx River.

Strictly speaking, he really stole it from "Pluto"!

"It doesn't matter whether what I said is true or not."

Gu Shen said leisurely: "Senior, it was because of the 'Pluto's poison' that you decided... I am a hypocritical person. So I only need to show one thing to prove my 'true identity' is enough .”

Mr. Zhuang frowned.

next moment.

Gu Shen took a step forward——

This step made Mr. Zhuang's pupils shrink, and he subconsciously wanted to retreat, but the frozen green frost spread suddenly at this moment, instantly freezing his legs and nailing his whole body in place.

"take it easy."

Gu Shen said sincerely: "...I am not a bad person."

When he came in front of Mr. Zhuang, the blackness in the pupils gradually faded, and a small flame burned deep in the pupils.

Zhuang Su stared blankly at the wisp of fire.

He took the entire high wall of the S3 living area into his dream.

And Gu Shen embraced Zhuang Su into his dream.

At this moment, Zhuang Su's spiritual sea caused an infinite roar. He watched the ray of fire burning in front of his eyes, and the night was pierced by the burning. The fire brought his soul out of its sheath and came to a boundless wilderness. Among them, in this wilderness, there are towering trees that reach into the sky, and there is a majestic snow that is frozen for thousands of miles. But on the seat of the silent train carriage.

"Om-"

The whole world has turned from noisy to extremely quiet.

He sat on the seat with a dazed expression, looking at the ethereal woman floating cross-legged not far away. Very few people in the ancient literature club had seen this "girl". Before the massacre began, "Chu Ling ” is the subject of [Deep Sea] responsible for linking five continents.

It's just that after the main system was upgraded, this line of [source code] was wiped out.

As for the later... No one knows what Jing Shanyan did except Zhou Jiren.

"[Source Code]..."

Mr. Zhuang looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar face, and the black robe wrapped around his face slipped off, revealing an old face. His hair was already gray, but his memory was still clear.

He will always remember this "girl".

"gentlemen."

Chu Ling said softly: "I have a name, you can call me 'Chu Ling'."

Chu Ling.

Yep...the name hasn't been around for many, many years.

Zhuang Su moved his head abruptly, looking at the young man who led his spirit down and came to this space... If this girl is regarded as the [source code] of the reconstruction of the Ancient Chinese Society, then this young man is...

Gu Shen stood at the end of the Linglingyao train carriage.

He stretched out his hand and opened the door leading to the next carriage of the train... In the spiritual space, no one knows what world will lead to behind the [door].

With a longing for the truth, Zhuang Su stood up unsteadily, took a deep breath, and stepped behind the [door].

Behind the [door] is a small meeting room.

Pure Land, Ling Lingyao, all mental images were shattered.

"As you think."

Gu Shen said softly: "I... am [the key]."

……

……

Everything in the spiritual world dissipated like bubbles.

The sea water disappears.

back to reality.

The blazing fire deep in Gu Shen's pupils... slowly dissipated.

The light reflected in Zhuang Su's eyes subsided.

"key……"

He murmured: "So...you are...the key..."

All the doubts and perplexities that he could not figure out when he came here disappeared at this moment.

Because Gu Shen is the [Key].

So when he came here, he discovered the true identity of the "neutral" from the clues in S3 city...

So he replicated what the "neutrals" did.

He has been waiting for the "neutral" to come and prove his identity.

"Senior, is the information about 'Underworld Fire' still important?"

Gu Shen smiled and opened his mouth. He spread his arms and leaned back to rest on the city wall.

The pure land was removed, and the frost melted away.

Zhuang Su regained his freedom of movement, but he didn't make any more moves, but said with a complicated expression: "'Underworld' is indeed not important... If you are [Key], then you can do anything of."

Gu Shen smiled.

"I'm sorry... I was rude."

Zhuang Su bent down slowly, saluted, and said with a serious expression: "I almost made a mistake..."

"Nothing, there is no problem with your handling."

Gu Shen shook his head. Zhuang Su's mental strength is very strong, and he should have reached the top level of the tenth layer of the deep sea. If he chooses to launch a surprise attack when he comes up, he may really pose a threat to himself.

But he has "skin of iron scales", once Zhuang Su has a killing intent, Chi Huo will immediately sense it.

and so……

Nothing will happen.

Gu Shen didn't tell Zhuang Su how his "underworld fire" came about, and even though he had completed the "communication" at this moment, he didn't reveal his true identity...

As long as you can prove that you are a good person.

Are these still important?

"Mr. Zhuang, to be honest, I have been waiting for you to come."

Gu Shen said calmly: "The current situation in Sangzhou Cave is quite serious. Besides me, there are three continents, and the hidden 'extremists' in Nanzhou are all active... If the neutrals are discovered by them, it will do no good. end."

"Yes……"

Zhuang Su nodded and said: "But we are observing everything, and the current situation is fairly stable."

"Maybe the goddess of fate is favoring us," he paused, and said with a smile: "The activities of the 'neutral' are mainly concentrated in the South Cave, and the South Cave happens to be the stationed territory of Dongzhou..."

"..."

Gu Shen sighed softly in his heart.

It seems that the intelligence of neutral people is still limited. [Deep Sea] has cut off the link of everyone on the Sangzhou Cave, and the members of the Ancient Literature Society are no exception. They have no special means to communicate with the outside world.

So Zhuang Su didn't know about the redistribution of the Sizhou territory at all.

If Gu Shen hadn't been keen enough to perceive the true identity of the "neutral", then the ones participating in dividing up this area at this moment should be Xizhou and Zhongzhou...

In any case, the territory of the "neutrals" was safe and sound, and he was right.

So after thinking for a while, Gu Shen just nodded and smiled.

He didn't tell Zhuang Su that the "Goddess of Destiny" was himself.

"Dear [Key], please forgive my previous reckless 'testing'."

Zhuang Su bowed again: "This is rude, but I have no other choice. To survive in a place like Sangzhou Grottoes, 'neutral' must be extremely cautious, and be careful, we cannot afford the slightest mistake..."

Gu Shen returned the gift.

He shook his head and said seriously: "It's nothing, you don't have to feel guilty, and you don't have to apologize anymore."

"..."

Zhuang Su came to the top of the wall, he stood under the [lantern], stretched out a hand to Gu Shen, making an invitation gesture.

"Next, is the real side of the 'neutral'..."

"Mr. Gu, please follow me."
