Light Barrier

Chapter 863

In the boundless deep sea, electric arc suddenly appears.

The low roaring sound of wheels rumbled across the sea floor, and an endless train shuttled through layers of confusion.

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

That is information that beats billions of times per second. At this moment, the layers are stacked like a cocoon of light.

"The link...is broken."

The woman wrapped in the big cocoon spoke softly.

Chu Ling opened his eyes, and countless threads were cut off, and the carriage returned to its previous cleanliness and spotless state.

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

But no matter which one, "AI" should not have it.

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

But this time, it showed...that the end of the link was completely lost.

this means.

Gu Shen, is he dead?

After confirming that Gu Shen's link signal was lost, 【Source Code] gave up interacting with the outside world, and everything became unimportant. Chu Ling began to forcibly retrieve the [Sky Eye】 above Sangzhou Cave, even if these were controlled by the main server The electronic monitoring equipment she took over had been submerged in the ash from Tan Yao Mountain, but she still forcibly retrieved all the images within the monitoring range above Sangzhou Cave.

Mountain fires broke out and the sky was dark.

The originally densely populated 【Sky Eyes] have been wiped out by a series of attacks such as the mountain ash impact and the Tan Yao explosion... Most of the remaining instruments are distributed around the Sangzhou Cave, but in [ Under the external force driven by the tide, all these [eyes in the sky】 can see are scenes of ever-expanding vistas.

"..."

Chu Ling stared at this scene blankly.

The spiritual connection between me and Gu Shen was broken because he entered the Tan Yao core area...

And at this moment.

Tan Yao erupted, and the pillar of flames reached the sky.

There is simply no way any living being could survive a disaster of this magnitude.

...

...

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

【Source code】 Why did it disappear all of a sudden?

Didn’t I say yes...everywhere!

"Buzz..."

After a few seconds of downtime, Qi Mo saw a familiar code. He was slightly relieved, but before he could speak, he saw Chu Ling's first question: "Is Gu Shen back?"

Qi Mo was stunned.

He was a little confused.

Because this really shouldn't be a question 【source code】 would ask.

For Chu Ling, if he wants to know if 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 0.01 seconds.

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

After Qi Mo finished speaking, he was stunned. He suddenly realized something. "Not back" is a very unlucky word, especially when this question came from 【Source Code】. The layer of darkness shrouded his heart. It was magnified countless times at this moment.

After getting this answer, 【Source Code】’s communication information on the screen disappeared.

Chu Ling is offline.

...

...

"Where's Gu Shen?"

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

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

He had just become an apostle!

How could this happen?

The little iron man couldn't calm down anymore. He glanced at the divine infant who was sleeping in the nutrition cabin. He gritted his teeth and dialed Chen Mei's communication. "Chen, hurry up and arrange a microboat. I want to go back."

"Are you so crazy?"

Chen Mo's gloomy reply came from the communicator: "You didn't see the mountain fire explosion just now. Why go back and die? And... I am the person in charge of Dadu, not Beizhou! I have nothing to do with adjusting the micro-boat." Permission!"

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

Sincerely meeting the law enforcers, after all of them boarded the ship, their hearts gradually calmed down. However, it was only when they left the boundary of Sangzhou Cave that they realized... there was still a very important person who had not boarded the ship!

Gu Shen!

The mission to go south to Sangzhou Cave lasted a long time. Every sincere law enforcer who met Gu Shen was grateful to this little Mr. Gu.

Gu Shen is usually gentle with others, has no airs, has a kind heart, and is willing to rescue innocent people.

certainly.

This is not the most critical.

For them, going south to Sangzhou Cave is not a simple mission. If Gu Shen hadn't stepped forward, just a few attacks from the beast tide would have resulted in a large number of casualties!

Gu Shen actually secured a lot of benefits for Dongzhou. He laid poisonous miasma pits to kill animals, pulled Yuan Shuocheng's church legion to act as backup for the law enforcement brothers, and encouraged demonstrators in major urban areas to fight against the upper-level forces and disperse the east and west. Cave energy!

Gu Shen didn't board the ship?

This kind of unexpected situation was not included in the original consideration at all!

The Tan Yao erupted just now, its power was simply devastating.

If you didn’t board the ship, you didn’t leave either...

Cold sweat began to break out on Wei Cheng's forehead, and he murmured subconsciously: "Could it be that he encountered some trouble and was delayed? Does he know that the fleet will rendezvous in the ice sea? How about we wait?"

"No need to wait."

Lu Zhe's voice interrupted their communication.

The captain of a team captured the image of the blazing flames at Tan Yao Mountain Pass and transmitted it to the hearts of these leaders through his mental power. He ended this meaningless conversation.

"The fleet... can return."

...

...

With the restoration of the 【Deep Sea】 link.

The deathly silence on the ice fleet spread across thousands of miles to the two continents of Dongzhou and Beizhou.

The extremely luxurious southward support of the Beizhou Legion this time essentially came from "Gu Shen"'s intervention. The merger of the two continents has just begun, and it is in the most critical running-in stage... The wills of the top leaders of Central City and Nagano are being fully aligned. , there are many trivial matters here, all promoted by the existence of "Gu Shen".

"Gu Shen lost the final link."

"According to the information from Lu Zhe, captain of the first team of the Investigation Corps, Gu Shen was buried at the bottom of Tan Yao Mountain..."

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

Five major offices in Nagano held an emergency meeting in the conference room.

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

Zhou Jiren and Tiantong left, Zhu Wanghan was expelled, and Gu Shen "died" at this moment. The adjudication office, which was originally ranked first among the three major offices, was already in decline... Several of them are still in other places, but their reputation and prestige are justifiable. The Adjudicator made an exception to participate in this highest-level secret meeting in Nagano.

The big shots who participated in this emergency meeting looked very heavy.

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

He worked hard to tie the Mu family to the "merging" ship. He expected to use Gu Shen's power to regain his high position, but he never expected that such bad news would come at this moment...

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

A childish, hoarse voice came from the conference table.

There was a ridiculous laugh in the voice.

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

Li Qingsui stood up. She looked at the image sent back by Lu Zhe, and her voice became trembling: "What can a wisp 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 merger mission. The Li family and the Mu family became the two families that contributed the most to the merger plan...

In the rare free time she had, she could not help but think of the previous scenes at Shenci Mountain.

Mountains, flowing water, blazing fire, black flowers.

She thought she really "hated" Gu Shen.

Unexpectedly, the most beautiful memory in her heart was the leisurely time spent on the temple mountain with her sister, Gu Shen, regardless of the world.

She didn't even expect that time had not yet waited for her to "grow up" more.

Then they ruthlessly carried out the "cruelty" again.

She couldn't accept that Gu Shen died like this... died in Tan Yao's explosion. In her mind, Gu Shen should be the next Gu Changzhi. Even if he died, he would die vigorously!

It was very quiet in the conference room.

Li Qingsui's words did not have an encouraging effect.

It's not because Li Qingsui is still young, he is just a child.

But the scene of the volcanic eruption transmitted back from the Sangzhou Cave was too terrifying. Every big shot here could tell whether the image was true or false, as well as the meaning behind it.

"The simulation experiment of 【Deep Sea】 shows that... the power of Tan Yao's explosion is equivalent to eight times that of a child's explosion. If Gu Shen stays in the core area, even if he has the 'Sixth Level Source Armor', it will be useless. He will be at zero point Melted into ashes in one second."

Mr. Shan rested his chin with both hands.

His eyes were in a trance, dazzled by the scarlet fireworks blooming above the ice sea that were played over and over again.

A natural disaster of this level is too terrible to be resisted by humans.

Even with a ban of his own level... there is no hope of survival.

What really broke Li Qingsui's psychological defense was Mr. Gu, who came late and was the last to participate in the meeting. Gu Qilin was helped into the room by Gu Nanfeng. The gray-haired but always energetic old man seemed to have been there overnight. Ten years older, my overall mental state is very low.

In the past few years, when he had been fighting with Gu Lushen to the bitter end, he had never been so decadent.

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

Gu Qilin laughed at himself and said: "I know you are all concerned about Gu Shen's life and death. The reason why I came late is because of this. Gu Shen came to the Gu family's ancestral hall a few years ago. Although he and the Nagano Gu family There is no blood relationship, but I think he is particularly kind, so I left a drop of blood and engraved it into the sealed object, which is regarded as a 'spiritual monument'."

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

Everyone was stunned.

"Gu Shen's spiritual monument has dissipated."

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

"In other words."

"Gu Shen...is dead.
