Bulwark of Light

Chapter 864

"Gu Shen... is dead."

Gu Nanfeng's words are already a kind of final conclusion.

These words echoed in the meeting room, and Li Qingsui sat back in his chair in a daze.

The other big figures, although their hearts were heavy, but their state of mind was supported by years of cultivation and realm, at this moment they did not directly show emotions such as "collapse".

After the meeting, there are still some content one after another, which is probably the advancement of the "convergence" plan.

Gu Shen is dead, but the confluence will continue.

The Wuzhou pattern has been established, and the cooperation between Nagano and Central City is indispensable.

It's just that Li Qingsui didn't listen much to these words. She sat on the chair alone and waited for a long, long time. The meeting ended... Everyone in the meeting room left, and she was the only one left here.

"Qingsui."

Gao Tian, ​​who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, patiently accompanied the eldest lady. His heart was also heavy. The news of Gu Shen's death was a bomb to Dongzhou, and no one could accept it...

"Uncle Gao..."

Li Qingsui raised her head slowly, she murmured, "Gu Shen, is he really dead?"

……

……

Gu Nanfeng pushed the wheelchair. Since the Battle of the Cemetery, Old Master Gu's old illnesses began to break out one after another.

This old man who participated in the war against the Red Army was very strong and ferocious when he was young.

But now I am old.

What the years bestowed on him will be doubled back.

"I thought... a wheelchair would never be used in my life."

The two were walking in the ancient streets, Gu Qilin looked at the flow of people coming and going in the streets and alleys, and on the side was the Ning River running through the Forbidden Snow City. The river water reflected the bustling and noisy scene of the ancient city. The atmosphere of this ancient city is a bit lonely.

Mr. Gu laughed at himself and said, "What a stupid idea... At that time, I thought I would never grow old."

Gu Nanfeng lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment, then comforted him and said, "Birth, old age, sickness and death, everyone is the same in this regard, and God Seat is no exception... Besides, Gu Lushen is the last wheelchair-bound person in the Gu family."

Gu Lushen is much younger than the old man.

"Is it?"

This statement does not really serve as consolation.

Gu Qilin looked back slightly, looked at Gu Nanfeng, and said softly: "But you reminded me, everyone will die..."

Speaking of this, the old man's voice became hoarse, and his eyes darkened a lot.

Obviously he was thinking of the young man who disappeared into the sea of ​​ice.

The old man took out the wooden seal from his clothes, and slowly stroked it with his dry fingers.

The white-haired man sends the black-haired man.

This is one of the greatest tragedies in the world.

Gu Qilin suddenly said: "When did Gu Shen leave 'blood' in the Gu clan hall?"

"Two years ago? Or maybe a year ago?"

After hearing the words, Gu Nanfeng narrowed his eyes subconsciously, and soon he spoke with the same voice, and he said calmly, "I did this... It's normal that you don't have the impression, after all, when he first entered Nagano, he It hasn’t received as much attention as it has now.”

"……Um."

Gu Qilin's eyes still stayed on the wooden printed board.

Gu Nanfeng started to take over the entire Gu family two years ago, and he has basically stopped intervening in trivial matters, big and small.

In fact, his real "aging" is not reflected in his physical body and combat power.

But older.

My mind started to get tired for no apparent reason.

As early as 20 years ago, when Gu Changzhi became the God of War, Gu Qilin realized that he was "old".

The specific manifestation is the affairs of the Gu family. He was no longer able to make a decisive decision like he did when he was young... Later, in the dispute between the old and new factions, he held his breath and fought against Gu Lushen, fighting for eight years. , just to wait for Gu Nanfeng to grow up.

"Gu Shen is a very good boy."

The old man smiled in a low voice, "He could have shined more brightly and let more people remember him."

Gu Nanfeng took a deep breath.

He has a lot to say.

But then...

He just raised his head, looked at the dead leaves flying in Ninghe, and spit out two words.

"Yes."

……

……

"what?!"

"What did you say!!"

At the highest level, Lu Nanzhi slapped the table angrily and stood up. This was the first time in these years that she hadn't controlled her emotions since she became an MP.

On the other side of the virtual projection, Nanwan Councilor Chen San looked complicated.

He could understand Lu Nanzhi's anger.

Most of the Sangzhou Grotto missions are in charge of logistical support... News came from the Sincere Society that the Beizhou Yuan Energy Boat will land in the Dadu area tonight and send the local transcendents rescued in the South Cave. An exciting and grand victory, but no one is happy, because the biggest hero of this mission to the south has been confirmed to be "dead".

"The news came from Nagano. The spirit of the 'Monument of Blood' left by Gu Shen has dissipated."

Chen San whispered: "I know you are very angry, but the confluence plan is the most important thing right now..."

"I don't need to go on, I know that confluence is very important."

Lu Nanzhi took a deep breath, she replied coldly, and then hung up.

【Red Gate】Activate——

Even if there is no [Key], [Red Gate] can still summon the members of the Ancient Literature Society, but she does not have the privilege of Gu Shen, so she cannot forcibly recruit, and can only send a meeting request.

031 has completely disappeared from the conference room of the Ancient Chinese Society today.

The only people she can trust are 064 and 073.

"Quick... get online soon."

Lu Nanzhi initiated the link application in the cold conference room.

It's a pity that at this juncture, neither 064 nor 073 responded, presumably something was going on in the real world.

She waited for a long time in the most hidden space in the deep water area, but she never came to 064 and 073.

But when Lu Nanzhi was about to leave.

Countless sea water formed in the conference room, and an illusory slender figure appeared in the conference room out of thin air without pushing the door. Those who could do this kind of operation... except for the [key], there was only one identity left.

"Hello, Lu Nanzhi, or should I call you... Madame."

The phantom figure sat in the place that Gu Shenchang took, her long hair fell down slowly, and countless messages radiated fluorescence, like a cloak covering the entire conference room.

"Maybe you still have an impression of me, maybe you have forgotten..."

The illusory figure was shrouded in garbled characters, and she didn't fully show her whole body, but she folded her hands, put her slender fingers together, and said slowly with deep eyes: "Please allow me to introduce myself again, I am The [source code] left by Turing is also the new mausoleum guardian of Nagano Kiyozuka."

After being stunned for a moment, Lu Nanzhi immediately read out the name of the phantom figure: "...Chu Ling."

"It seems you still remember me."

Chu Ling smiled in a low voice.

"You are very famous, and Gu Shen used to mention..."

Lu Nanzhi realized that he had mentioned that familiar name, and his tone became sad.

The meeting room was silent for a few seconds.

"I'm looking for you this time for something."

Chu Ling shook her head, she raised her head and said seriously: "This matter... is very important, very important."

……

……

News of Gu Shen's death quickly spread throughout Wuzhou.

In comparison, the joint actions of the World Parliament in the Sangzhou Grottoes are insignificant, and no one even cares about them.

Chen Mei, Shen Li, and Bai Xiu immediately returned to their own forces after the mission was over.

Chen did not find his father, Chen San, Shen Li found Mr. Shan, and Bai Xiu went to find Patriarch Bai.

The actions of these three people are only for one thing... that is to persuade a more powerful "title" to go to the ice sea and set off again to find Gu Shen's whereabouts. They still don't give up.

Lu Zhe saw fiery fragments in the crater.

The spirit of Gu's blood stele was wiped out.

These are actually the evidence of "death", but no one believed that Gu Shen would die so easily, and besides them, there are many other people who are acting.

For example, Lu Nanzhi previously used [Red Gate] to summon "064" and "073" that failed.

Hong Long and Lin Lin, both of them couldn't accept the news of Gu Shen's death, because before Gu Shen "fallen", they had just contacted the person involved and confirmed the status of the person concerned. Ember is waiting in the dark for 【Key】to come forward, this is the son of hope chosen by Mr. Turing.

Such an existence!
How is it possible, how is it possible to just die like this?
When the news came out, the Red Dragon Divine Envoy was very busy. On the one hand, he had to deal with Suzaku's aftermath, and on the other hand, he had to find ways to block Gu Xiaoman's news.

The little girl is still in an important stage of mental state cultivation.

This kind of news is too heavy...

Once let her know, I don't know what troubles will happen, before gaining Gu Xiaoman's staged trust, Honglong really doesn't have the confidence to explain "Gu Shen's death" to her!
So after Red Dragon sent Gu Xiaoman to the Tower of Origin safely and arranged many trivial matters, he went directly to Mr. Tianshui's residence...

On the other side, Lin Lin also took action.

He directly drove the energy boat across Gubao and came to the central city, which is a "miracle" thing.

It should be noted that in the past ten years, Grand Duke Zhuxue sent people to invite Lin Lin to return to the central city more than once, but they all ended in failure... One of the reasons was that Lin Lin wanted to escape the marriage contract with the Meng family, and another important reason was It is Lin Lin who likes to stay in this throat fortress on the border of Beizhou from the bottom of his heart!

Lin Lin drove the energy boat to the Queen's Manor at a fast speed all the way, and received the "stop" signal more than once along the way, but he ignored them all.

Even the deputy sent by Zhu Xue wanted to negotiate in a miniature boat, but he ignored it!

Arrived at the manor.

Those resistances disappeared instead, and it was obvious that Central City knew what his arrival meant.

In the end, Lin Lin stood in front of the attic. The stairs on the first floor were covered by the fire of [Long Yu]. The head of the women's army in a cloak of flames had a complicated expression and stopped Lin Lin himself.

"I understand how you feel..."

Standing in front of the attic, Ziyu said helplessly, "It's just that you are not allowed to go upstairs without His Majesty's permission."

"Aunt Wen, only today, you can't stop me."

Lin Lin's voice was cold and harsh.

He raised his head, looked at the second floor of the attic, and said slowly: "I have the right to know the truth about the Sangzhou Grotto."

Everything that happened in Central City was within the vision of the Queen.

Lin Lin knew that her sister was watching her the first time she set foot here.

If she doesn't want to give herself the answer.

Then it is impossible to know the answer.

And at this moment, it is time for him to express his attitude!
Lin Lin walked into Longyan's sea of ​​flames, and at the same time withdrew all his spiritual power and source quality. He didn't want to fight against Aunt Wen... This scene made Ziyu extremely difficult. She quickly raised her arms, wanting to make further progress. blocked, but Lin Lin didn't have the slightest intention of retreating.

Long Yan burned his skin.

The figure walking slowly in the sea of ​​fire made Ziyu dazed.She watched the two brothers Lin Si and Lin Lin grow up since she was a child, and she knew their personalities. She is withdrawn and extremely stubborn, so she went far away to Gubao and garrisoned the throat fortress.

Lin Lin is a stubborn boy, but he has never regretted anything he believes in.

Even if he bumped into the south wall and his head was bleeding, he wouldn't yell out a word of pain.

So... If he really wants to go upstairs, he can't stop himself from being engulfed in flames.

"Chichichi-"

Lin Lin walked into the sea of ​​flames. Under the scorching heat, his walking speed was always slow and firm.

Ziyu wanted to withdraw the fire.

But the mission of allegiance to the imperial power pushed her forward.

"His Majesty!"

This was the first time that Ziyu called out to the Queen outside the attic, which was already considered a dereliction of duty.

It's just that she was really panicked.

Being stationed in the attic for many years, this is the most difficult thing she has encountered, and now she no longer knows how to deal with it.

It's just that this call didn't get a response from the second floor of the attic.

Lin Lin smiled.

pat!

He stepped up the first step.

In the sea of ​​flames, a faint laughter sounded at the same time.

"Sister, from the moment I took over the status of '073', you started to make arrangements, didn't you?"

"I know I'm a pawn."

"I would also like to be a pawn."

"Actually, I just don't want to ask more questions. It doesn't mean I don't know anything. I know about my encounter with Gu Shen, the storm in Gubao, the restart mission of the Doru River, the return of the traveler's fire... what happened in Beizhou Everything is under your control and is part of your plan."

Pat... Lin Lin boarded the second floor.

"I know it's not a coincidence that Ajiaer invited Gu Shen to Beizhou, and it's not a coincidence that my marriage contract with Meng Shi broke up."

"I know that you have the power of fire, and you can grasp the only correct 'answer' in the gap between countless fates."

"I want to know, since you know so much and control so much... how could it be possible for Gu Shen to die in Sangzhou Grotto?"

Lin Lin raised his foot. He wanted to climb the third step. At this moment, Ziyu had given up on using the sea of ​​fire to restrain and hurt the child he had watched and grown up. But when Ziyu felt the thought of giving up, Countless wind and snow condensed on the steps. It was the "great cold" condensed from the ground in Beizhou, and it was also a symbol of the power of the imperial power. The sea of ​​fire froze.

Also freeze Lin Lin.

Lin Lin, who was rushed back from Gubao by his servants, did not have the slightest fear or hesitation.

He took a deep breath: "So I must see you today and ask these things clearly."

"It doesn't matter what price you pay..."

He stepped on the third-level condensed ice cone.

Click!

The ice pick pierced the boots, the blood was also frozen, and the blue frost spread up the calf.

Lin Lin raised his head.

On the second floor of the attic appeared a figure that had not appeared in front of the world for a long time.

That figure was wearing a snow velvet cloak, exuding a fluctuating chill, looking down at the rebellious young man on the steps, there was no gentleness towards his own brother in his eyes, only cold indifference.

"……His Majesty?"

Zi Yu was stunned. For so many years, His Majesty has been retreating in the attic. Because of the need to resist the frost and cold absorbed by the furnace, and to support the central city, he has never left. If there is anything, he will send an apostle, or send The phantom of God's Domain, come to complete it.

This is the first time, real body travel.

"Just to ask about this matter..."

The queen looked at her stupid and stubborn brother, and asked blankly: "Is it really okay to pay any price?"
