Bulwark of Light

Chapter 916 Initial Number (First Update!)
Red Shadow!

See you again!

Gu Xiaoman's heart skipped a beat, although she had already witnessed the previous scene where Gu Shen defeated Hong Ying, there might be a second one, there might be a third, a fourth...

Gu Shen stretched out a hand and stopped Xiao Man behind him.

With blazing fire wrapped around his arms, he turned slightly sideways, ready to meet the next attack from the red shadow from the other end of the narrow bronze corridor.

But it's eerily quiet here.

Hong Ying, who was standing with a knife in both hands, did not make the first move as before, but stood silently for a few seconds.

A dim red light shot from the pale mask.

Gu Shen knew that this was scanning himself...and Xiao Man.

"What is this guy doing?"

Gu Xiaoman frowned, and whispered: "Why does it feel different from before?"

Gu Shen whispered: "I don't know...wait and see what happens."

Having suffered a small loss earlier, Gu Shen didn't act rashly. If Hong Ying didn't take the initiative to strike first, then he didn't mind just waiting here.

From the second time he stepped into the air wall, Gu Shen had already made a complete plan.

He knew that there was an ancient intelligent life behind the [Ice Sea Ruins], and the previous alarm sound proved that the ruins were not friendly to outsiders.

So he didn't take out [Truth] from the beginning.

Since there is "No. [-] Response Plan", there must be "No. [-]" and "No. [-]".

If I take out [Truth] halfway, it may lead to an upgrade of the "Coping Plan"...

So he saved [Truth] until the last moment, in order to ensure a direct "pass". So far, everything is under control, at least there is no alarm sounding now, and there is no so-called No. [-] and No. [-] response plan , this bronze corridor is safe, if you move forward, it may be different.

Just like that, Gu Shen and Hong Ying confronted each other for nearly a minute.

"Crack!"

After Hong Ying finished scanning, she actually took a step back, letting out the door at the end of the bronze corridor.

"What does this mean, no more fights, let's get out of the way?"

Gu Shen frowned, staring at the other party, not daring to enter.

The next moment, something unbelievable happened.

The latter was wearing a heavy bamboo armor, and after taking a side step back, he actually made an ancient... bowing posture.

"???"

Gu Shen's pupils contracted.

"A welcome gift from Nagano?!"

Even Gu Xiaoman recognized the red shadow's bowing posture at the moment!
The two looked at each other, both shocked and unable to understand, how could this mechanical creation of ancient civilization know the etiquette of Nagano?
Needle drop can be heard silently in the bronze corridor. After the bamboo armor man made a salute gesture, he stopped moving. At this moment, it is no longer the weird and unpredictable fierce assassin before, but has transformed into an honest man. sculpture.

Gu Xiaoman tugged at Gu Shen's sleeve nervously.

Now how to do?
"Walk."

Gu Shen held his breath, and said slowly: "Follow me, don't be afraid."

The domain was released and enveloped the two of them.

Gu Shen led Xiaoman to walk very slowly, his attention was always on the sword of the bamboo armor man, if the other party made the slightest move, he would be aware of it immediately.

But until he stepped inside the bronze gate, the bamboo armored man didn't intend to draw his sword.

Passed by, safe and sound.

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

At the end of the corridor is a wide mechanical control room. There are densely packed switches, gates, and several alloy cabins similar to life nutrition cabins. The pitch-black cabin doors are actually made of black silver, which can be vaguely seen. There are several skinny "mechanical bodies" lying in the cabin.

This is the torso of the bamboo armor man after removing his armor, very thin.

"Sure enough, there is more than one..."

Gu Xiaoman's tone was complicated when he saw these mechanical beings who hadn't left the cabin.

Just when she was about to step forward to take a closer look.

The bamboo armor man who made an invitation gesture respectfully and respectfully spoke suddenly: "You two, please don't touch it casually."

"Fuck?!"

Gu Xiaoman was taken aback, the hairs all over his body exploded.

"..."

Gu Shen didn't expect the bamboo armor man to speak suddenly, but he remained calm, patted Gu Xiaoman's back, and cast a reproachful look.

The latter stuck out his tongue, indicating that he knew he was wrong.

Gu Shen looked curiously at the bamboo armored man standing in front of him with his sword drawn, and asked with a smile, "You can talk?"

"meeting."

The bamboo armor man's voice came from his abdomen, his voice was clean and crisp, he sounded like a young man, when he said this, he pointed to his head.

"But I'm not 'he', and 'he' can't speak."

This sentence is a bit convoluted.

But Gu Shen understood that it was not the bamboo armored robot standing in front of him who was talking at the moment.

The bamboo armor man walked slowly to these life capsules. He looked at the unfinished products that hadn't left the cabin, and said calmly: "He, they...are just executors, without souls. You can understand me as being in charge of them." The 'soul' of the ship. Now I will communicate with you, and all the voices and wills you hear on this ship will also come from me."

This sentence is... very informative.

"Boat...is this a ship?"

Gu Xiaoman spoke first.

She wanted to touch the bronze alloy wall, but she thought of the warning from the bamboo armor man, and quickly withdrew her palm.

"To be precise, you can call it a 'starship', but many years ago everyone used to call it a 'big ship'."

The young man's voice was a little self-deprecating: "From the information I captured, you seem to call it the 'Ice Sea Remains'? In fact, it has its own name, called 'Initial Number'."

Initial number?
Gu Xiaoman's expression was full of disbelief, she looked around and murmured: "You mean, this is a huge ship...so from the moment we step into the snow field, we step into the space of the ship gone?"

"Yes."

The young man asked confusedly: "Didn't you already discover the truth? The snowfield is just a simulated illusory scene. Due to the limited space, the outer space of the snowfield is blocked by the 'Strangle Wall'. Those outsiders who are judged to be a threat, They will be blocked outside and unable to enter the core space..."

"But we're still in."

Gu Shen said slowly: "The wall of strangulation didn't stop me."

"yes……"

The young man sighed and said helplessly, "This is why I communicate with you."

"There are four emergency plans on the initial number."

The young man said slowly: "But in my opinion... none of these four plans can stop you. If you rashly escalate your attack, it will instead arouse your anger, which may cause indelible damage to the 'Initial Number'." blow. So I made a choice, instead of blocking you, let you in."

As soon as these words came out, Gu Xiaoman looked at Gu Shen with a lot of admiration in his eyes.

How cool, to open the door to the Ice Sea Ruins by myself!

Gu Shen had a complicated expression on his face.

What does this mean?
He sighed and explained, "I'm not the 'violent maniac' you imagined."

"Sorry, you are."

The youth's voice did not give Gu Shen a chance to argue.

The Bamboo Armored Man received an order from a higher level, and suddenly raised his head, a red light was projected from the pupils of his mask, and several clear images were projected in the air.

Gu Shen shot down the cloud boat, Gu Shen shot and killed the "Fragrant Lord", Gu Shen tore up the red shadow robot...

Those battles that took place on the snow field were all captured!

"..." The evidence was conclusive, and Gu Shen was speechless.

"Another point is worthy of my special statement. It is not 'you' that are blocked by the Wall of Strangulation, only 'you'."

The bamboo armor man glanced at Gu Shen, turned slowly to face Gu Xiaoman, and said softly: "As for this little girl... If she wants to step into the snow field, the initial account will not activate the 'Strangle Wall', which means Speaking of which, she is a special guest invited by the initial account."

Gu Xiaoman was stunned.

She was puzzled and said, "The red shadow from before..."

"It just performs a 'routine scan' and a 'strength assessment' on you." The young man said with a smile: "You will not be harmed, and in fact you are not harmed either."

"..."

Gu Xiaoman fell silent for a moment.

If you think about it carefully, it really is.

The red shadow was obviously let down when he was fighting with him, and his moves looked fierce, but the opponent retreated as soon as he made a move, obviously accepting a special program.

"That's why I received the 'call'?"

Gu Xiaoman blinked, obviously a little surprised, "But why is this, is it because I was selected in advance by 'Tinder'?"

"Yes...according to your words, you are the future 'Lord of Wine'."

The young man said in a warm voice: "The Initial Number welcomes your visit."

"What about me?"

Gu Shen couldn't understand that if he was selected by Tinder in advance, he would feel the call of the Ice Sea Ruins...then why he wasn't "invited".

He also has the identity of the fire master!
"Sorry... According to the rules of the initial account, you are not on the invitation list."

The young man's voice was still smiling, and he said in a low voice: "But you've already come in, haven't you? If all this is fate, then why bother to think about it so much?"

Destiny?
After Yun Liwuli said this, Gu Shen was even more unable to understand.

"I don't know……"

Just when Gu Shen was about to speak, the young man's voice interrupted him: "You will understand."

"Two...please follow me."

The bamboo armor man put away the long knife, and after explaining the cause and effect, he pushed open the second door, then turned around and squatted down, stretching out a hand to Xiao Man, very friendly.

Gu Xiaoman shook his head.

She didn't shake the bamboo armor man's hand.

Although she received the invitation post from the initial account, she was still very cautious, took two steps back, grabbed Gu Shen's sleeve, and felt a little relieved until Gu Shen held her little hand.

If she was a guest of the initial account, then she had encountered so many "attacks" before, and this red shadow did not show up.

It was Gu Shen who saved him at the critical moment.

She only trusts Gu Shen!

The bamboo armored man smiled slightly, didn't mind, and walked ahead to lead the way.

Gu Xiaoman asked cautiously: "So... you are the owner of the ice sea ruins?"

"This is not called the Ice Sea Ruins, it's called the Initial Number."

Facing Xiaoman's question, the young man's voice was very patient, "Besides, I'm not the owner of the initial account, I'm just the housekeeper here, and the owner of the initial account is a great existence that I admire all my life... Maybe you can be like him in the future, Become a famous monument in human history."

It's a pity that Gu Xiaoman doesn't like this.

"Monumental or not... I'm not interested."

She continued, "Don't you have your own name?"

"My master named me 'Alfred'."

The young man said respectfully: "From now on, you can call me 'Afu'."
