Bulwark of Light

Chapter 794 The Fire in the Long Night

At this moment, the southern boundary of the E0 area.

Two figures, one big and one small, were shuttling through the alley.

To be precise, there were actually three figures, but the heavy basket on Xiaoman's back didn't move at all, and the baby was surprisingly quiet, not making a sound.

"Where are we going?"

Xiao Man didn't dare to speak more, she just followed Gu Shen.

"Go to the South Cave."

Gu Shen said calmly: "The S12 living area is not safe until you enter the high wall."

"That's where I came from..."

Xiao Man lowered his voice and muttered something softly.

Gu Shen raised his eyebrows, and looked back at the little guy carrying the basket.

The two walked quickly, but did not hinder the conversation.

"Didn't you ask my name..."

Xiaoman whispered: "I don't have parents, I should have been starved to death long ago, but luckily, someone picked me up a few years ago and raised me for two or three years. 'Xiaoman' was the name they gave me. At that time, I was fine. I remember, that’s all I remember. Later they died of illness and someone took me away, but that person had no good intentions and raised me up to sell me.”

She paused.

"Later... these guys met a beast when they were taking me out of the city..."

That was already after the awakening experiment started.

"Meet the beast, then what?"

Gu Shen asked: "They are dead, but you are alive?"

"Um……"

Xiaoman smiled self-deprecatingly, "Is it nonsense, those beasts didn't eat me, um... and him."

She lightly weighed her feet and shook the basket behind her.

This basket is actually quite heavy.

But at this moment, on the way out of the city, the girl's pace is unprecedentedly easy.

"Later, I took him with me to depend on each other. No one in the E0 area was willing to take us in, but it doesn't matter. Even if no one raises us, I can actually feed myself."

Xiaoman's tone is very soft, and her voice is full of indifference. In fact, what she calls "depending on herself" is to pick up things in the garbage mountain.

Gu Shen's heart ached when he heard this.

"Although I get beaten occasionally."

Xiao Man smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I have a hard bone. In two years, when he grows up, I will take him to fight... At that time, no one will dare to snatch things from me. Look at his peaceful appearance , I know he will be very powerful in the future."

Gu Shen also smiled cooperatively.

"what is his name?"

"He has no name."

Xiao Man raised his head and said seriously: "Actually, I don't have a name either, because no one here will call our names."

The two stopped before the high wall alley in the southern area.

Gu Shen stopped moving forward.

"The area is closed..."

Xiao Man clenched his ten fingers tightly holding the hemp rope, and said in a tense voice, "Is there a way for you to get out?"

"of course."

Gu Shen smiled.

He said softly: "Remember... When the high wall door opens, there will be many people running out together, you run with them, run south, don't stop, run far enough, there will naturally be people Come pick you up."

Xiaoman heard it in a daze, but she didn't really understand it.

In the past two years, the villains of the church have also sealed off the area more than once. She knew that the door was closed, and she would not open it easily.

She just memorized some simple messages.

Flee, flee to the south.

"Also... remember my name, Gu Shen, we will meet again soon."

Gu Shen patted the child's head lightly.

He turned and walked towards the depths of the alley, and walked in the same direction as when he came. Xiaoman looked back, and there was already darkness there, but she felt warm on her body, as if a ray of fire was burning in her heart, which gave her the strength to keep going. Emboldened.

……

……

Gu Shen walked in the streets.

"Mr. Gu, the 'neutral' in the E0 area has been prepared."

"As soon as you issue an order, a large number of people will take to the streets to parade. The whole process is expected to take 10 minutes. We will open the three high walls of the 'Eastern District', 'North District', and 'South District' successively... as The cost of action, the 'neutral' who opened the door will flee with the parade people, and then completely abandon the latent work in the E0 area."

Zhuang Su's voice sounded in Gu Shen's mind.

Gu Shen turned his head and glanced at Xiaoman's direction.

He calmly said: "Okay, we can start now."

One command.

In the long silent night of the E0 area, there were suddenly some very slight sounds.

It was the sound of a door being pushed open.

During the night, one door after another was pushed open.

One after another, the aborigines in cloth robes and ragged clothes walked onto the street barefoot... In this overwhelmed slum, there has long been a flame that burns for a long time. It has existed, but it has never erupted. Tonight, someone ignited the fuse, and more and more residents of the E0 area took to the streets. However, warnings of "curfew" continued to come out, but the flames on the ground tore through the long night, and someone shot down the first drone.

Then came the second, and the third...

The mighty crowd poured out from all directions. He Chan, who came to the highest point of the central tower in the city at this moment, looked at this scene with a gloomy expression. He was about to leave for the northern area, but he could never have imagined that at this critical moment , There will be such a big mess, and what he didn't expect was that there are so many of these pariahs who have awakened their basic extraordinary abilities, and they are so courageous!

They fear the church.

Don't you fear the Tower of Source, which is stronger and more terrifying than the Church!

Someone lit a torch.

more than one.

There are more and more parades on the street. They held up flames to drive away the darkness, and at the same time smashed down all the whistling drones. The "neutral person" who ignited this flame disappeared among the crowd...

Or.

In the long night at this moment, everyone is "neutral".

The fire in the long night is getting stronger and stronger!

The dull roar resounded on the streets of the city, like a heart about to revive. Gu Shen walked in the dark night of the streets and alleys, listening to the increasingly orderly and grand sound.

Xiaoman was carrying a basket on his back, staring blankly at this unprecedented scene.

Not just them.

Every aborigine who came to the street at this moment... heard the voice made by himself, which almost shook the entire E0 city...

"Rumble rumble—"

Accompanied by this lengthy loud noise, the east gate of the E0 area, which was ordered to be closed, slowly opened.

A neutral person, with his sword, killed the "spiritually enslaved" gatekeeper, and took the lead in opening a corner of the entire blocked city. The parade team broke the cage. They knew where the direction of freedom was, and left the E0 area, and then headed south Run away, the neutrals have released the news that the largest "S12 living area" in the South Cave is willing to accept and treat them well!

Standing on the tower, He Chan's expression became extremely ugly.

How many people are needed to control a city.

Five people.

Yes, in the case of smooth order.

The high-level transcendence of the five source towers is enough.

But... at this moment, a large number of people began to riot, and the scene was out of control. The five law enforcers all jumped to a high place. Faced with this sudden situation, they all fell silent...

During the silence, the north gate also opened, and the neutrals killed the slaves guarding the gate, and then rushed out of the city wall with the marching crowd!

"Everyone gather at the north gate."

He Chan said coldly: "Don't kill indiscriminately, the target person may be among the crowd... Use your mental strength to suppress the riot as much as possible."

He took a deep breath and made his final decision.

After the order was given, He Chan stepped on the central tower and quickly sprinted in the direction of the North District. He didn't know whether he made such a choice, whether it was right or wrong... Master Suzaku will bring people to arrive soon, this level The riots in the city cannot be resolved by themselves, but if the envoys arrive and expand the domain, they should have a chance to control it.

No matter what, you should first guard the most likely "exit"!
The wind howled.

He Chan caught a glimpse of a shadow from the corner of his eye. The man was wearing a black robe, just like himself, stepping on buildings and rushing toward the exit of the North District.

His spiritual power spread——

But what was strange was that the location of that person was as dark as ink, almost blending into the night!
This is a strong man whose mental power is stronger than his own!
Aware of this, He Chan was terrified, and the next moment, the figure running on the alley suddenly accelerated, exploded in an instant, and came directly in front of He Chan.

"Chong!"

A knife light hangs out.

He Chan subconsciously pulled out the saber, and he swung the saber with his backhand. As a result, the figure came and went quickly, and his body was extremely light. The moment He Chan drew the saber, he suddenly backed away, and his whole body was like a rootless duckweed. This is how the arc of the blade passes by.

"Who? Report your name!"

He Chan's voice was faintly angry.

The one who came out backwards just looked at him "quietly" without making a sound.

The two looked at each other.

He Chan no longer drew his saber, and continued to run towards the north gate, so the next moment, the scene reappeared, and the black shadow in a big robe stuck up again in an instant, but this time when He Chan drew his saber, the black shadow did not retreat again .

"Crack!"

When the long knife was about to hit his shoulder, the black shadow stretched out his other arm, and between the lightning and the flint, he popped out two fingers, and suddenly struck heavily on the long knife, just like that, he chiseled out a crisp fire!
"Jiang!"

He Chan looked shocked.

His saber trembled from such a flick of the finger.

What kind of terrifying physical power is this?

There is one more important thing than shaking the knife.

When the strong fight against each other, it only takes a moment to perceive a lot of information... He Chan is more concerned about the identity of this "mysterious person" than whether he can gain an advantage in the duel. Why are so many people taking to the streets tonight? Everything can't be just a coincidence, someone is planning a layout, and what he has to do is to find out the identity of this guy.

The knife crooked.

He showed his flaws.

"Snapped!"

Then Hei Ying mercilessly rewarded him with a big slap in the face. He Chan, who had been skimming over a row of roof ridges, was knocked over by this slap and fell heavily in the alley.

"boom!"

He Chan got up immediately after falling to the ground, supported his knee with one hand, and held the sword with difficulty with the other hand. He had a gloomy complexion and stared at the "black shadow" in front of him.

Gu Shen hovered under the eaves of an old brick house, hanging upside down like a bat, as if sticking.

"You dare not show your true colors..."

He Chan wiped off the blood stains on the corners of his lips, and said coldly, "Are you afraid that the Tower of Origin will be liquidated?"

"..."

Gu Shen smiled silently, wrapped in a big robe, wearing a ghost mask, just watching He Chan calmly.

"You think I can't figure it out?"

He Chan also smiled.

Holding the knife in both hands, he said faintly: "I already guessed who you are... You can't escape, Master Suzaku is coming soon."
