Bulwark of Light

Chapter 804 Surname Gu, Name Xiaoman
The spiritual link with Suzaku was broken, and Gu Shen still had something to say.

Words that kill one's heart are the most murderous.

When he sent out the link, he never thought that Suzaku would agree to the invitation.

"He's very angry."

Chu Ling said: "What you said just now is more powerful than [Extinguish Candle]'s last arrow."

"Is it?"

Gu Shen smiled: "Unfortunately, he left in a bit of a hurry."

"..."

Chu Ling was silent.

Can you not be in a hurry, if you don't leave, you will really be pissed off.

"Although this tide of A-level beasts is coming fiercely, it will actually not have much impact on the East Cave." Chu Ling borrowed the authority of [Sky Eye], and said: "The red dragon has rushed back to the E7 area, and the last moment , the Four Divine Envoys should be able to complete the layout of the [airspace] enchantment..."

Once [airspace] is formed.

With the power of the S-level enchantment, it is not a big problem to stop the beast tide.

"Ah."

Gu Shen nodded, he didn't expect to change anything with this beast tide.

The most important thing about this beast tide is that it proves the existence of the "Son of God"!

He dispersed his mental power, and saw a familiar figure in the corridor of the mansion.

……

……

"Is this...where the Church 'Master' lives?"

Holding the baskets in her arms, Xiaoman walked cautiously in the corridors of the mansion. Looking at these carved and painted pilasters, she subconsciously felt afraid.

"grown ups?"

Bai Xiu was a little puzzled.

"They all yelled..."

Xiaoman muttered softly.

Bai Xiu was silent for a second, and said: "They are all human, no size."

Xiao Man was still nervous, she actually understood what Bai Xiu said, but it was useless...

Those who don't call adults will end up miserable.

At this moment, Gu Shen's voice sounded leisurely.

"The 'adults' you mentioned are all dead."

Hearing the sound, Xiaoman raised his head suddenly, saw the attic window open, revealing a familiar face, couldn't help but surprise and said: "Gu Shen?"

Gu Shen turned over and jumped down.

He chuckled softly, "It's me."

The little guy exerted all his strength, threw the big basket behind his back and tightened it, and then ran towards Gu Shen quickly, taking three steps in parallel, and bumped into Gu Shen's arms all at once.

"..."

Bai Xiu watched this scene silently, he looked at Gu Shen with a subtle expression.

If I remember correctly, Gu Shen and the little girl have only been together for less than a day.

Maybe it hasn't grown up yet.

Why, Xiao Man is not so enthusiastic about himself?
Is it because I don't attract children, or because Gu Shen is too attractive?

Chen Mei, Zhuang Su, Qi Mo and others who came out from the door all saw this scene... They had different expressions. Chen Mei was leaning on the side of the door with arms folded, watching this warm scene with relief.

Zhuang Su and Qi Mo's breathing became serious.

They looked at each other.

That little girl with ragged clothes and dirty body... is the "Son of God" that Mr. Gu found back?
For so many years.

The neutral waited, searched, always in vain.

After meeting Mr. Gu...it took only a few days to find him?

At this moment, Zhuang Su and Qi Mo's feeling is very unreal, they feel like they are dreaming now, now the neutral people can come to the ground to carry out activities aboveboard, and they also saw the legendary "Son of God".

A little warmth appeared in Gu Shen's eyes.

With gentle movements, he rubbed the head of the little girl under him. A ray of blazing fire swept out from his palm and dipped into the little girl's body. long-term injuries.

In the past three years, the little guy has been wronged too much.

Picking up rubbish in the back streets of E0 District, you will be beaten at every turn. If you are lucky, you can still be hungry and full. If you are unlucky, you will be hungry all day.

Her body has many bruises.

The little guy is very talented, and he has some injuries. He can get better after a day of rest and a night of sleep, but he can't stand it. The "flame of vitality" turns around, and Gu Shen feels very distressed when he sees it.

Qi Mo didn't know what happened in the E0 area, the reunion between this little girl and Gu Shen seemed like a long absence for many years.

It's just about "Son of God", he has been waiting for 20 years.

So Qi Mo took a deep breath, sent out a spiritual message, and reminded in a low voice: "Mr. Gu...neutral people need a tube of blood from the 'Son of God', and we need to do a 'genetic test' to see how extraordinary she is." What exactly is the ability?"

"It's not urgent."

Gu Shen didn't look back, and said softly: "Everyone has already been brought back, what are you worried about... You know, the Son of God is not the 'dead' in the bronze pillars, she is alive and has feelings."

As soon as this remark came out, Qi Mo immediately realized his mistake.

Experiments over the years have repeatedly hit walls.

The highest ideal he has been pursuing so hard is finally about to come true.

For a moment, he ignored this.

Qi Mo was a little ashamed: "I'm sorry... I lost my temper."

"It's okay."

Gu Shen shook his head and said nothing.

His blazing fire detected Xiaoman's mental state... The little guy's spirit was very tense. She finally escaped from the E0 area, and then came here. Seeing the luxurious church mansion will only remind her of those unbearable memories. past.

But these negative emotions come and go quickly.

These neutral people have a kind heart, and Xiaoman will feel a different temperature from the E0 area as long as they get along for a few days.

"I'll take her to find a room to rest first."

Gu Shen looked around and said sincerely: "As for other things, we can talk about them after she has rested."

……

……

The mansion complex built by the Blazing Wave Church looks retro and elegant, like buildings in the Snow Forbidden City...

Gu Shen took Xiaoman to find a small courtyard in the mansion, but in fact the technology of these mansions is not backward, there are many artificial intelligence instruments here.

It's just that after the awakening experiment started, [Deep Sea] disconnected from Sangzhou Grotto.

Now that Gu Shen is staying, [Deep Sea] will provide services again.

Gu Shen sat outside the mansion, Chu Ling took over the procedure, took the little guy to wash up, and came out again, the stains on Xiaoman's face had been washed away, and he was also changed into a neat and brand new snow-white robe .

In the mansion of the Chilang Church, most of the clothes are prepared in this style... This set of robes has been cut, and all the symbols of the church have been erased, so that the "belonging to the faith" is no longer visible.

Xiaoman looks much cleaner, but because she has been starving all year round, her complexion is very ugly, her face is sallow and thin, and even her hair is withered and yellow.

A drone was parked in the courtyard, and a large floor-to-ceiling mirror was suspended. Xiaoman was holding his robe, looking at his own appearance, his eyes were full of strangeness.

After cutting this set of teaching robes, it is still a bit long...

She had no choice but to pick up some to avoid the inconvenience of walking.

The little guy looked weird. She looked at the "clean" self in the mirror and felt uncomfortable.

Although this robe is very comfortable to wear, it seems that his muddy cloth shirt looks better?
"Brother Gu Shen..."

Xiao Man carefully pronounced the title, and asked in confusion, "How about I wear the original one?"

"..."

Gu Shen sighed softly, the one that the little guy took off has already been sent to the robot for cleaning... In fact, cleaning is unnecessary, and it is not an exaggeration to throw it away.

Xiaoman fell and fell many times along the way, that cloth shirt has a lot of holes, how can I wear it again?

"Tomorrow, I will send you clothes that fit you." Gu Shen said softly, "I don't need to wear the previous one again."

Xiaoman pursed his lips, feeling a little dazed.

"The few people I met at the mansion just now..."

Gu Shen opened his mouth after deliberation, and waved his sleeves to project the mental images of Zhuang Su and Qi Mo, as well as some bystanders, "Do you still remember the last parade in E0 area?"

The little girl nodded seriously.

Of course she remembers!
If there was no bell and drum parade in the E0 area, she would not have escaped at all... Those parades walked onto the street, smashed the drones, and broke through the city gate. Although she left from the south gate, the front two She heard the opening of the city gates. The scale of the parade was so large that it couldn't be a coincidence.

"I'm not the only one who saved you."

Gu Shen said softly: "They also paid a lot..."

Xiaoman is very smart, she understood when she heard this.

She murmured: "The parade was organized by them..."

"Ah."

Gu Shen nodded, and said, "If you've heard the word 'neutral' when you were living in the E0 area, then you should know what kind of people they are..."

Xiaoman's eyes were a little dark, and she said hoarsely: "I know the 'neutral'...they are all good people..."

Gu Shen found himself.

Neutrals opened the gates.

It's just... that parade is destined to be just a fleeting fireworks. Many people will die during the parade. The law enforcement officers of the Tower of Origin don't care about the lives of these people.

"Those people...are there a lot of them, and they're all dead?"

Xiao Man clutched his sleeves and spoke softly.

This question made Gu Shen startled.

"……Yes."

He could only answer truthfully, and truthfully expose the bloody and brutal truth in front of the child.

Xiao Man asked again in a low voice: "Then they... did they die for me?"

"Yes... and no."

Gu Shen lowered his eyebrows and said slowly: "These people are more for their own freedom. If the city is not broken tonight, it will be difficult to find a day to break the city... Rather than dying like this, it is better to try to break through the cage. It is like fighting a fire. The moth that dies for the light also burns for itself."

Xiaoman heard it in a daze.

"so……"

She pursed her lips, thought for a long time, and plucked up the courage to ask: "You saved me... for me to avenge these people? To the Church, to the Tower of Origin?"

Gu Shen looked a little surprised, but immediately felt relieved.

Children who grew up in the muddy area of ​​​​E0, how can they believe that there is truth, goodness and beauty in this world?

The law of the jungle is cruel.

Competing, alienating, deceiving, using...

"I saved you, it has nothing to do with what you do in the future."

Gu Shen smiled softly: "I hope you live a good life, as for revenge...you think too much."

He snapped his fingers.

Fiery.

Xiaoman felt as if someone had lightly pressed the center of her brows, she sat back and raised her head again, and there was a majestic world, pure land with heavy snow, towering giant trees almost reaching the sky.

She stared blankly at this majestic picture, only feeling her heart flutter.

It took a long time for the little girl to regain her senses. She looked at Gu Shen who was squatting in front of her and smiling... That man seemed to be the center of the entire pure land world under the care of countless golden branches and ears of leaves.

Yes.

She really thought too much, what a terrifying behemoth the Church and the Tower of Origin are, and those who have the ability to declare war on such things should be people like "Gu Shen", who are shrouded in the light of the world.

The little girl who was still arrogant a second ago stopped talking all of a sudden.

She shrank back very spinelessly, and after a long time, she murmured softly: "Since I have no relatives and reasons, I don't ask for anything...then why did you save me?"

Although there was heavy snow in the Pure Land World, under the control of Gu Shen's mind, the shattered snow fell on Xiao Man's body, so it was not cold.

This is a good question.

Gu Shen was silent for two seconds, he looked at Xiao Man with complicated emotions.

Rescuing Xiaoman in the E0 area, of course, was because of the reaction of the "iron box", which was probably the "son of God" he was looking for.

But what about these factors?
From the moment he saw this little girl... Gu Shen felt an indescribable subtle connection.

Very strange.

Perhaps because of the excessive use of "destiny objects", Gu Shen felt the guidance of cause and effect at this moment.

Goddess of Fate seemed to be reminding herself that there was an unusual bond between him and Xiao Man——

Indescribable.

But it has been engraved in the cause and effect.

Is it because they are "both orphans"?Or because of... something else?
"Saving you... There are so many reasons."

Gu Shen laughed softly, "The child in the basket, you saved him, is there a reason?"

"..."

Xiao Man was stunned, she opened her mouth and wanted to answer, but she couldn't say a word.

There are indeed things in this world that "don't ask for what you want".

But only a fool would do it.

And she is such a fool.

I obviously can't get enough to eat, but I still have to bring a burden, a beggar who lives on the street, what qualifications does he have, what kind of family does he have?
Stupid people do stupid things, no one has asked her these years, so naturally she doesn't think about it.

It's just that Gu Shen asked now.

Just like she asked Gu Shen.

"I...want to have a family..."

Xiaoman lowered her eyebrows, recalling the little guy in the basket who was smaller than herself, she couldn't help laughing: "Even if we starve to death together, it's better than starving to death alone... If you go on the road like that, you won't be alone."

"Clap!"

On the top of the head, he was hit again and his head collapsed.

The little girl sat back again, and this time she returned to the real world, the snow-white priest's robe fell to the ground all of a sudden, the little girl grinned in pain, but the first thing she did was to check whether the robe was dirty or not. Dirty——Although the words are not used to it, the behavior is still honest.

She raised her head angrily, stared at Gu Shen, and was just about to speak.

"In the future, don't say such things again, bad luck."

One word from Gu Shen dispelled all her temper.

"and also……"

"Since you don't have a surname, why not take my surname."

Xiao Man sat on the ground in a daze.

She stared blankly at the young man in front of her.

There was a warm fire between Gu Shen's brows, and there was still a faint smile on his face: "Let me be named Gu, it's a very good surname, I promise you, no one in the world would dare to report it to your family in the future." bully you."

"..."

The little guy gritted his teeth hard, his body trembling, but he couldn't hold back in the end.

This child who has tasted all the hardships in the world without shedding a single tear.

All of a sudden, I cried into tears.

Xiaoman, Xiaoman, Gu Xiaoman.

Since then, she has her own name.
