Bulwark of Light

Chapter 863 The Death of Gu Shen
In the boundless deep sea, an electric arc suddenly appeared.

The deep rumble of the wheels swelled on the bottom of the sea, and an endless train shuttled through layers of confusion.

There are tens of thousands of silk threads in the carriage, winding around a person like a spider web.

That is information that beats billions of times per second, layer upon layer at this moment like a cocoon of light.

"The link...is broken."

The woman wrapped in a cocoon spoke softly.

Chu Ling opened his eyes, countless silk threads snapped, and the carriage returned to its previous cleanliness, spotless.

There was shock, bewilderment, confusion, and pain in her eyes.

But no matter which one, it should not be owned by "AI".

At this moment, Gu Shen's connection with her was completely severed, which was a feeling she had never experienced before. Previously, Gu Shen went to a certain disaster situation that shielded her spirit, but she was only temporarily unable to connect.

This time, however, it showed that... the end of the link was completely lost.

this means.

Gu Shen, dead?
After confirming that Gu Shen’s link signal was lost, [Source Code] gave up the interaction with the outside world, and everything became unimportant. Chu Ling began to forcibly call the [Sky Eye] above the Sangzhou Grottoes, even if these are controlled by the main server. The electronic monitoring equipment that was taken over had been submerged in the ashes of Tanyao Mountain, but she still forcibly recalled all the screens above the Sangzhou Grottoes that were within the monitoring range.

The wildfire erupted, and the sky was dark.

In the series of blows such as the impact of mountain ash and the eruption of Tan Yao, there are no more than one of the [Sky Eyes] that were originally densely populated... Most of the remaining instruments are distributed around the Sangzhou Cave, but in [ Under the action of the external force driven by the tide, what these [Sky Eyes] can see are only scenes that are constantly stretching.

"..."

Chu Ling stared blankly at this scene.

The spiritual link between myself and Gu Shen was broken because he entered the core area of ​​Tan Yao...

And this moment.

Tan Yao erupted, and the pillar of flame soared into the sky.

It is simply impossible for any creature to survive a disaster of this scale.

……

……

Qi Mo, who locked himself in the room, felt like sitting on pins and needles. He kept looking at the projection of the watch and then at the screen of the host.

[Source code] Why did it disappear all of a sudden?
Didn't it say that...it's everywhere!
"Om..."

After a few seconds of downtime, Qi Mo saw the familiar code. He breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could open his mouth, he saw the question Chu Ling first asked: "Is Gu Shen back?"

Qi Mo was stunned.

He was a little bewildered.

Because this really shouldn't be a question that [source code] will ask.

For Chu Ling, if he wants to know whether Gu Shen has returned, he only needs to call up the surveillance images of these ten energy boats, and then he can get the answer within [-] seconds.

"Miss Chu, Mr. Gu hasn't come back yet."

After Qi Mo finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment. He suddenly realized something. "Not coming back" is a very unlucky word, and especially this question was uttered from the mouth of [Source Code]. At this moment, it is magnified countless times.

After getting this answer, the [source code] communication information on the screen disappeared.

Chu Ling went offline.

……

……

"Where's Gu Shen?"

"Gu Shen hasn't come back yet?!"

Shen Li was pacing anxiously, and the "underworld fire" in his heart sent an extremely urgent danger signal.

He has only just become an apostle!

How did this happen?
The little iron man couldn't calm down anymore. He glanced at the baby god who was sleeping in the nutrition cabin, gritted his teeth and dialed Chen Mei's communication, "Chen, hurry up and arrange a miniature boat, I want to go back."

"Are you crazy?"

Chen Mei's gloomy reply came from the communicator: "You didn't see the mountain fire explosion just now, so go back and die? And... I am the person in charge of Dadu, not Beizhou! I don't have such a thing as adjusting a miniature boat." permission!"

Because there was no news from Gu Shen, Shen Li was not the only one who was anxious.

Sincerely meeting the law enforcement officers, after boarding the ship, they gradually settled down in their hearts, but when they sailed away from the boundary of Sangzhou Grottoes, they realized... There is still a crucial person who has not boarded the ship!

Gu Shen!

The mission to the south of the Sangzhou Grottoes took a long time. Every sincere law enforcement officer who met Gu Shen felt grateful to this little Mr. Gu.

Gu Shen usually treats people gently, without airs, with a kind heart, willing to rescue innocent people.

of course.

This is not the most critical.

For them, going south to the Sangzhou Grotto was not an easy task. If Gu Shen hadn't stepped forward, just a few attacks by beast hordes would have caused a lot of casualties!

Gu Shen has really won a lot of benefits for Dongzhou, setting up a poisonous miasma pit to kill animals, pulling Yuan Shuocheng's church legion to be a backup for the law enforcement brothers, encouraging demonstrators in major urban areas to fight against the upper-level forces, and dispersing the east and west. Cave energy!
Without these operations, the number of brothers who can return home safely in the end is estimated to be only half of what it is now, or even less!

Moreover, the Tower of Source and Guangming City both suffered losses in the Sangzhou Grotto incident... These things, on the table, are considered unsolved mysteries.

But those brothers of the Sincere Society stationed in the city, as long as they are not fools, can basically guess a thing or two.

Mr. Xiao Gu messed up the situation in this incident and strongly blocked the original plan of these two forces!

"Now we're waiting for news from Baixiu."

Chen didn't hold back his temper, and spoke in a deep voice.

In fact, he is also anxious, but what's the use of being anxious?

Bai Xiu has already set off, if Bai Xiu can't bring people back...then it's pointless for him to go out.

"White sleeves... White sleeves..."

The little iron man stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows. Through the red and silver glass, he had vaguely seen the shadow of a ship breaking through the icy sea of ​​Beizhou, and there were three people standing on it!
He wasn't the only one who saw this scene.

There is no Chen.

"It's back... there are three people!"

At this moment, both of them were excited, but in the next second they were splashed with a basin of cold water.

The speed of the miniature boat was extremely fast, and it arrived in the fleet in an instant. Everyone waiting in the ice sea could clearly see the figure of the third person on the miniature boat.

The captain of the investigation legion, Lu Zhe.

Not Gu Shen.

Shen Li's face turned pale suddenly, and he fell to the ground all of a sudden.

Chen Mei's face also turned livid, extremely ugly.

Seeing this scene, Sucha, Wu Yong and others around, as well as several high-level officials from the sincere society, immediately stopped talking. Although they really wanted to ask about the current situation, the atmosphere in the VIP room was oppressive and suffocating. substance.

No one dared to say a word, no one dared to make a sound.

This deadly silence spread to the entire Beizhou Fleet suspended above the ice sea, the independent lounges, and the huge space of the main ship full of refugees were so quiet that a needle could be heard.

Seeing the tiny boat sailing into the ice sea, it slowed down.

Everyone seemed to realize that there would be bad news coming.

So everyone held their breath.

"Army."

Sitting on the main boat, Fisher, who was in charge of the task of picking up the South Cave, spoke first.

He first greeted Lu Zhe.

Fisher has already noticed that Bai Xiu and Mu Wanqiu, who were full of spirit and fighting spirit when they set off, now have gloomy expressions and dull eyes.

Having experienced many battles, he now knows the outcome of this mission.

But there are always things to ask.

Huo Yu's voice was hoarse: "I'm glad to see you triumphantly, Captain Lu. This mission to return to the island... Didn't you see Gu Shen?"

The pillar of flame in the distant sky can be clearly seen even by the fleet hovering in the northern part of the Ice Sea.

"..."

Lu Zhe opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

He didn't know what to say.

The miniature boat was slowly swimming among the packages of ten medium-sized energy boats, and he saw one gaze after another piercing through the red and silver glass heads, some were Beizhou soldiers, some were Dadu law enforcement officers, and more came from Those local refugees from Sangzhou Cave that he didn't know and had never seen before.

these days.

Everyone in Sangzhou Grottoes remembered a name.

This name is Gu Shen.

Because of his appearance, the "Neutral" organization decided to come back and rekindle it. It is precisely because the Neutrals picked up all the ground nets that have been trapped for 20 years that there are these survivors who successfully escaped from the Sangzhou Grotto.

In this place of suffering, they have experienced countless despairs.

And this time, the hope was given to them by Gu Shen.

So they will always remember the name.

At this moment, they wanted to see this rumored remarkable young man with their own eyes.

only……

From that solitary tiny boat, many have seen the end.

The commander-in-chief Osmond arrived at the ice sea with the North Cave Fleet, and the two scattered formations merged at this moment, which meant that the Beizhou rescue mission was only short of the final return voyage, and all difficulties were cleared away. Flawless execution.

It's just that Wei Cheng, who was in charge of commanding the North Cave, noticed the strange atmosphere in the fleet's central control channel.

The silver fox subordinate soon realized the reason.

Wei Cheng said in a low voice: "Your Excellency Fisher, forgive me...I have often heard the generals in the legion praise a young man named 'Gu Shen' in recent years. I was really looking forward to meeting him on this mission. But at this moment, I don't seem to see him?"

Fisher said hoarsely, "He's not in the fleet."

"What does this mean? Gu Shen didn't board the ship?"

Commander-in-Chief Osmond frowned. He was very surprised by the news. In his impression, the biggest difficulty of this rescue mission was breaking through the mountain ash and rescuing a large number of refugees in a short time.

"……Um."

Fisher's response made Osmond's face change.

Gu Shen didn't board the ship?

This sudden situation was not in the original consideration at all!

The Tan Yao erupted just now, and its power is simply destructive.

If you didn't board the ship, you didn't leave...

Wei Cheng began to see cold sweat on his forehead, and he murmured subconsciously: "Could it be some trouble and delay? Does he know that the fleet will meet in the ice sea, or should we wait?"

"Don't wait."

Lu Zhe's voice interrupted their communication.

The captain of the first team captured the image of the blazing flames at Tanyao Mountain Pass, and transmitted it to the hearts of these leaders through his spiritual power. He ended this meaningless conversation.

"The fleet... can return."

……

……

With the restoration of the [Deep Sea] link.

The dead silence on the Ice Sea Fleet spread across thousands of miles to the two continents of Dongzhou and Beizhou.

The incomparably luxurious southward support of the Beizhou Legion this time essentially came from the intervention of "Gu Shen". The convergence of the two continents has just begun, and it is in the most critical stage of integration... The will of the Central City and Nagano high-level leaders is fully aligned , there are many trivial matters here, all of which are promoted because of the existence of "Gu Shen".

"Gu Shen lost the final link."

"According to the intelligence of Lu Zhe, the captain of the first team of the Investigation Corps, Gu Shen was buried at the bottom of Tanyao Mountain..."

"This is a scenario we never expected..."

The five major and three major institutes in Nagano held an emergency meeting in the conference room.

It's just that the position of the tribunal is vacant.

Zhou Jiren and Tiantong left, Zhu Wanghan was expelled, at this moment Gu Shen "fallen", and the adjudication office, which was originally ranked number one among the three major courts, was already showing signs of withering... A few of them are still out of town, but their reputation and prestige are justified The adjudicator made an exception to participate in the highest-level secret meeting in Nagano.

The dignitaries who participated in this emergency meeting looked very heavy.

The Patriarch of the Mu family looked at the information at this moment and confirmed it many times, but still couldn't believe it.

He took great pains to tie the Mu family to the big ship of "Confluence". He had hoped to use Gu Shen's power to regain his position, but he never expected that such bad news would come at this moment...

"Gu Shen... was buried at the bottom of Tanyao Mountain?"

A childish, hoarse voice came from the conference table.

There was an absurd laugh in that voice.

"Don't you guys know what kind of person this guy is? How could he die so easily!"

Li Qingsui stood up. Looking at the image sent back by Lu Zhe, her voice became more and more trembling: "What does a ray of flame mean? I don't believe that Gu Shen is dead...I don't believe it!"

Because of my sister's death.

She began to hate Gu Shen, and began to devote all her time to the confluence mission. The Li family and the Mu family became the two families that paid the most in the confluence plan...

In the rare free time, she can't help but think of the scene at the Temple Mountain.

Mountains, flowing water, blazing fire, black flowers.

She thought she really "hated" Gu Shen.

Unexpectedly, the most beautiful memory in her heart is the leisure time with her sister and Gu Shen on the mountain of the shrine.

She didn't expect that time hadn't waited for her to "grow up".

They ruthlessly carried out the "destruction" again.

She couldn't accept that Gu Shen just died like this... died in Tan Yao's outbreak, in her mind, Gu Shen should be the next Gu Changzhi, even if he died, he would die with vigor and vigor!

It was very quiet in the conference room.

Li Qingsui's words did not play an encouraging role.

It wasn't because Li Qingsui was still young, he was just a child.

Rather, the scene of the volcanic eruption transmitted from the Sangzhou Grottoes was too frightening. Every important person present could distinguish the authenticity of the image and the meaning behind it.

"[Deep Sea]'s simulation experiment shows... the power of Tan Yao's eruption is equivalent to eight times that of a child's detonation. If Gu Shen stays in the core area, then even if there is a 'sixth-order source armor', it will be useless. He will be at zero. It was melted into ashes in zero one second."

Mr. Shan propped his chin with both hands.

His eyes were a little dazed, dazed by the scarlet fireworks that were played over and over again, blooming above the ice sea.

Natural disasters of this level are too terrifying to be resisted by non-human beings.

Even with a title of his own level... there is no hope of surviving.

The one who really broke Li Qingsui's psychological defense was Mr. Gu who came late and joined the meeting at the end. Gu Qilin was supported by Gu Nanfeng to enter the arena. This old man with gray hair but always in high spirits seemed to be in the middle of a night at this moment. Ten years old, the mental state of the whole person is very low.

A few years ago, when he was in deep water with Gu Lu, he had never been so decadent.

"Sorry everyone, I'm late..."

Gu Qilin laughed at himself, and said: "I know that you are all concerned about Gu Shen's life and death. The reason why I came late is because Gu Shen came to the Gu Clan Hall a few years ago. Although he and the Nagano Gu Clan There is no blood relationship, but I think he is very kind, so he left a drop of blood and carved it in the sealed item, which can be regarded as a 'spiritual monument'."

The old man took out a blank wooden stamp and placed it on the table with trembling fingers.

Everyone was stunned.

"Gu Shen's spiritual inscription has dissipated."

Gu Nanfeng spoke for the old man, his voice was low and gloomy.

"In other words."

"Gu Shen... is dead.
