Bulwark of Light

Chapter 86 Rip off (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)
"The Sincere Society... is an underground super organization that is tacitly approved by most officials."

After Gu Shen calmed down a little, he felt some cold sweat seep out of his back.

Most of them are like a mirror, the front is dazzling white, and the back is dark black. If an uninformed person wants to turn the mirror over to find out the truth, he will find that black and white are two entangled symbiotic forms... ...No wonder Hu Danian warned himself not to provoke Chengxinhui, because in the end, the investigation will be on the official head.

And the real situation is probably far more complicated than I imagined.

Gu Shen noticed that Cui Zhongzhong mentioned a name called "Chen San" twice just now.

If Chengxinhui is an underground organization established under the will of a big man, then "Chen San" who can seize half of the control from Mr. Zhao must also be a dangerous person.

"The news that you landed in Dadu, I only threw it to a very small number of suspects, and Shi Li really took the bait."

Cui Zhongzhong said indifferently: "He doesn't know that he has been exposed, but he should have received the news of the failed assassination. Unsurprisingly, he will think that your escape this time is not due to luck, but because you really have special skills. If you have the vulgar potential, it may become a threatening existence in the future. If you give it some more time, he will definitely plan the next assassination against you."

Gu Shen silently stared at Shi Li's photo on the file: "What are you going to do?"

"Actually, judging from Shi Li's status and status, he can only be regarded as a small fish. He is definitely not the big fish I am looking for. Over the years, I suspect that the Changjiu Foundation has buried a heavyweight official undercover agent in Dadu... "

"Maybe it's just my delusion, but if I guess right, this person is like a bomb that could explode at any time, far more threatening than Shi Li." Cui Zhongzhong took a sip of tea without rushing, moist and dry lips, "It may be a pity if the net is closed now."

"...You want to keep him and find the big fish behind the scenes." Gu Shen said softly, "And as a price, I have to deal with the second assassination arranged by Shi Li."

Cui Zhongzhong was silent for a short while.

He saw Gu Shen's dissatisfaction, and asked softly, "Then... what are you going to do?"

"Before you speak, I think I need to remind you... the extraordinary believers of the Changjiu Foundation, once they know that they have been exposed, they will not hesitate to kill themselves. Before they perform their tasks, they are all set up with a 'high voltage line' ', once someone tries to hypnotize, the extraordinary consciousness will explode... For them, turning themselves into out-of-control is also a means of counterattack." Cui Zhongzhong said slowly: "So... don't try to hypnotize with the mind Even if you invite the 'Tiantong' level titled Chaofan, it is impossible to get a little bit of news from the dead."

Is this a guess that I will ask my senior sister to be a foreign aid?
"Since it's about my own trouble...it won't involve other people." Gu Shen shook his head and said, "Just like you, I also want to catch that big fish hiding in the dark. But even if it is A fool will not let go of a target that has already appeared, and continue to customize an assassination plan for himself."

"Then, do you want to kill Shi Li? You know, the fire case... and the self-destruction of Sumu Stone Carving, the source of these two assassinations is not him." Cui Zhongzhong held the teacup and looked at Gu with interest. Be careful, wait for the next article.

"Yes...it's useless to kill him."

"I just read Shi Li's file...the superman of the assault department, the third layer of the deep sea to test his strength." Gu Shen said: "If he personally came to kill me at the Sleep Whisperer Clinic yesterday, the ending may be the same. It's different...Since you decided to kill me, but you only choose to arrange for an ordinary person to do it with a sealed item, why is that? It's completely inconsistent with the Changjiu Foundation's style."

In the Changjiu Foundation, there are all lunatics who can casually give up their own lives!

Cui Zhongzhong blew on the hot air on the rim of the cup: "Continue."

"There is only one explanation I can think of... Shi Li is lurking in the Sincerity Club, and he has a higher mission." Gu Shen said calmly: "The assassination of me is a temporary message from that big fish, but the priority is not high. Because of the previous mission... So he chose this way to complete the mission, even if he failed, it didn't matter, the dead was just an untraceable ordinary person, and he only needed to plan the next assassination. But he didn't expect, This mission exposed his identity."

"So..." Cui Zhongzhong said with a smile.

"So even if he dies, he can still find the next clue from the task with a higher level."

"Well said, but the problem has returned to the original starting point." Cui Zhongzhong slowly adjusted his sitting posture, looked at Gu Shen, and asked word by word: "How are you going to do it?"

"Give me a little time, I want to join the Chengxin Association to investigate." Gu Shen let out a long breath and said, "If we can find out the task that Shi Li is performing, then we can naturally close the net in advance."

unexpected.

Cui Zhongzhong did not object.

He just nodded and hummed lightly, and didn't say anything more after that.

"You didn't object?" Gu Shen raised his eyebrows.

"Why do you object?" Cui Zhongcheng raised his head and said softly, "It's not me who was targeted for assassination... You are willing to spend your time to try it, so what can I object to?"

Gu Shen suddenly felt cheated.

From when Shi Li's files were taken out to when he established his own ideas for action, Cui Zhongzhong seemed to have done nothing, but actually guided himself all the time.

His purpose is only to catch big fish.

And it doesn't matter how to catch the big fish, as long as the ultimate goal is achieved.

But... for Gu Shen, the current situation is also the best situation he can choose.

If possible, who would be willing to be bait?
But it has become a bait, and the evil is done!
……

……

Gu Shen sat on a chair, lost in thought.

"Since we've finished talking, why don't you leave?" Cui Zhongzhong wrote down the order to evict the guest lightly.

Gu Shen frowned and asked such a question in thought.

"After the Sumu Stone Sculpture incident, my mission in Dadu...has it been completed?"

"The mission of Dadu has just begun." Cui Zhongcheng glanced at Gu Shen, and said calmly, "Do you want to make a condition? When the mission is over, I will apply to the council for what you want."

"As expected of Mr. Cui, he's really like the roundworm in my stomach. It's just that I talked to you by the lake last time, and when I think about it afterwards, I always feel that I lost something." Gu Shen's brows eased, and he smiled and said: "The past is in the past, I can only blame me for being too young to understand the ways of you old foxes, but fortunately, I have learned a lot this time."

"You... have learned..." Cui Zhongzhong couldn't help smiling: "What have you learned?"

"The recovery of the Sumu stone carvings and the treatment of mass insomnia can be regarded as the monitoring tasks of the tribunal. But because of your intelligence error... I was almost chopped into pieces by the people's congress last night on the river beach." Gu Shen said leisurely : "We're only talking about this account now... how do you think this account should be settled?"

"..."

This time it was Cui Zhongzhong's turn to be silent.

He has a headache.

This kid is much smarter than he imagined.

When Hu Danian sent Gu Shen over last night, he began to worry about the follow-up of the incident... On the surface, his attitude towards Gu Shen was that he didn't care about his life or death at all.

But in fact, Gu Shen passed the "S rank" assessed by the review team!
The purpose of the Sumu Stone Sculpture incident and the mission that led to Shili this time is to guide Gu Shen to face the Changjiu Foundation. This mission that has landed in Dadu, and all the developments so far, are firmly within the scope of his control.

But last night on the river beach... there was an uncontrollable incident that I didn't expect.

The fleeting helplessness on Cui Zhongzhong's expression was keenly captured by Gu Shen.

really.

I just threw out such a sentence tentatively.

If Cui Zhongzhong still maintains the previous cold attitude that is none of my business, Gu Shen has nothing to do, but now he is very sure that the other party feels wronged.

"Did you learn from Zhou Jiren...you are trying to blackmail me." Cui Zhongzhong looked at the boy, sighed, and said, "I am indeed responsible for what happened last night. You can tell me what compensation you want." look."

Really... hit it!

Gu Shen remained calm, "I want the highest authority to investigate the file at will..."

Seeing Cui Zhongzhong Gujing Wubo's cheek.

"Add a top-level breathing method."

Look again, still no change.

"Add an extraordinary sealed item..."

There was still no change, but if you look carefully, the corners of Mr. Cui's lips are twitching.

But Gu Shen still wanted to continue raising the stakes, but unfortunately he couldn't think of any more requests, and at the moment he felt very regretful that he didn't learn more from Senior Brother Zhong Wei.

When the book is used up, I hate it less.

It's a great time to rip off, but I'm running out of words.

"You want too much!"

Cui Zhongzhong interrupted Gu Shen, and said in a bad manner: "Let's talk about the first point first, the highest authority for a random investigation of files, you can see clearly, my surname is Cui, not Zhao... and even the old man himself can't do it. Freely mobilize any files, the deep sea has extremely strict division of authority for certain files, and even members of the parliament have various restrictions."

It turned out to be like this, I was indeed a bit too much...

Gu Shen blinked, and immediately asked: "Then how much authority can you approve?"

"If it's as compensation for you this time...the file investigation authority of the ninth floor of the deep sea will be released at most once." Cui Zhongzhong glanced at Gu Shen's expression, and said: "Passed the trial of the ninth floor of the deep sea, or the file's confidentiality level is low. The dossier information on the ninth floor of the deep sea...you can investigate as you like."

The ninth floor of the deep sea?
Gu Shen silently calculated... If senior sister is the title of the twelfth floor, then Han Dang should be the next one.

Han Dang's level of secrecy should be on the eleventh floor of the deep sea.

"Eleventh floor." Gu Shen bargained.

"Ninth floor, don't get out." Cui Zhongzhong has already seen through the negotiating style of the boy opposite him, the typical thick-skinned and tough, as long as you take a small step back, he will take a big step forward, and promise not to bite off a piece of meat Don't give up.

"Ninth floor is also fine...but I need a good breathing method and a good sealed item!" Gu Shen bit the meat he liked, determined not to take a step back: "Think about it Well, if the teacher knows that I was almost killed on the river beach last night, how will he react?"

Cui Zhongzhong, who had been suffering from facial paralysis all year round, had the faint urge to gnash his teeth.

As soon as Gu Shen mentioned "teacher", he immediately thought of the scene where an old guy came to Huazhi Building——

People in Zhou Ji should be delighted to change into a grand attire when they heard the news, and then take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to rush to Huaqi Mansion with pride and righteousness to "seek" justice for the students under their school.

Old guys are only harder to deal with than younger ones.

Cui Zhongzhong stared at Gu Shen: "I can give you a Sealed Artifact, and as for the breathing method...you don't need it, right?"

Seeing Mr. Cui's reaction like this... Gu Shen felt extremely emotional. He had personally witnessed the scene where the only son of the Zhao family entrusted someone to withdraw money and was rejected.

As soon as the teacher was mentioned, Cui Zhongzhong backed down. It seems that the teacher's "reputation" outside is quite messy.

So Gu Shen solemnly said: "I'm missing everything, I'm missing everything."

"Don't think I don't know... Your senior sister is the only person in the tribunal who reproduced "Awakening of Insects". She taught you this breathing method before the review began."

Cui Zhongcheng put his hands on the table and was about to stand up. He lowered his voice and said angrily, "Gu Shen, you just awakened to the supernatural, isn't one awakening enough for you to practice? Think you are Gu Changzhi, can you practice several breathing methods at the same time? "

"Mr. Cui...you lost your composure."

"I can be regarded as someone who worked my life for Mrs. Zhao. Mrs. Zhao has a lot of money, so a breathing method is not too much as a reward, right?" Gu Shen reminded him softly, and then said seriously: "What's more, with so many skills, you don't overwhelm yourself. Everyone's surname is Gu, what if I can do what Gu Changzhi can do?"

Cui Zhongzhong and Gu Shen looked at each other.

He calmed down and smiled in a low voice, "Okay...I promise you."

The conversation in Huazhi Mansion was the second conversation after Lakeside. The two showed their "true colors" and knew each other... Neither of them is easy to dismiss.

……

……

Huazhi Building has a special elevator that goes directly to the tenth floor underground.

Cui Zhongzhong pressed the button on the seventh floor underground.

When the elevator opened, Gu Shen saw a scene that shocked him——

The seventh floor of the flower flag is rendered by intertwined dark and white lights, which is quiet and serious, solemn and sacred.This place looks like a museum with rich collections, with an interval of about five meters. There are bronze altars with utensils on them. The transparent cover above the tribute altar is plated with a very light coating. A mysterious red diamond-like streamer.

"These are... Sealed Artifacts?"

When Hu Danian was storing the Sumu stone carvings, Gu Shen had already seen this kind of strong logical material. Red silver can greatly resist the erosion of extraordinary power, and it is specially used to store sealed items, and these altars are all painted with red silver... …

"Yes."

Cui Zhongzhong calmly spit out two words.

Gu Shen rubbed his eyes, and after making sure that he didn't look blind, his expression became weird.

Looking around, in this flat and spacious "collection hall", there are bronze altars one after another at staggered intervals... How many are there?One hundred seats?Two hundred seats?

"Red silver is the most common and widely used secret coating." Cui Zhongcheng said: "These sealed objects are of the same level as the Sumu stone carvings...the strength ratings range from C to E, you choose one of them Bar."

Gu Shen slowly recovered from the shock... These Sealed Artifacts are only C-rank at most.

But that's right.

The number of these sealed items is really appalling, and it is unbelievable to be able to have the strength of the Sumu stone carvings... He once again marveled at Zhao's rich assets.

This is only the seventh underground floor of Huaqi, and there are eighth, ninth, and tenth floors.

"Thank you, Mr. Cui, for your generosity... I won't be polite!"

With a calm expression on his face, Gu Shen went straight forward, came to the altar, and walked back and forth.

Every bronze altar here has an electronic tag, and if you touch it in the air, the detailed information of the sealed item will pop up.

He began to choose his "Sealed Artifact".
