Barrier of Light

The fall of this palm made the hair all over Gu Shen's body explode.

He subconsciously turned around and counterattacked.

The silver light of the Ruler of Truth had already flickered, but when he turned back and saw the man's face, all the brewing emotions dissipated and turned into confusion——

A tall man wearing a helmet, with a determined expression, shook his head to himself.

Hu Danian?

Gu Shen never expected that... this guy was still alive.

He was very sure that the motorcycle that fell at the entrance of Yuandan Street was Hu Danian's vehicle, but thinking about it carefully...the dry skeleton did not match Hu Danian's tall and strong physical features. The man's frame was relatively thin. At that time, I subconsciously believed that the deceased was Hu Danian himself.

Hu Danian is still alive!

This should be the only good news at the moment.

"No."

Hu Danian conveyed this will with his eyes.

So the two slowly retreated until they exited the factory area and came to a broken and collapsed stone wall not far away.

Hu Danian squatted in the mist and lowered his voice, "Are you crazy? Why are you here?"

"..."

Gu Shen felt that he had been robbed of his lines again.

Seeing Gu Shen's helpless look, Hu Danian immediately understood something. He frowned and said, "Is Shi Li related to this case of sealed objects?"

"Yes... to be more precise, the Long-lasting Foundation."

Gu Shen said meaningfully: "This is all the plan of the Jiujiu Foundation... Although I don't know exactly what they are going to do. But if this fog is placed elsewhere, the lethality will not be so simple."

It sounds crazy, but the fact may be... the heavy fog on Iridan Street today is just an experiment by these crazy people.

The heavy fog that spreads across an entire city block can kill even extraordinary beings if it continues to soak in for long enough!

"Who is that mummy?" Gu Shen asked with a frown.

"A...person whose name I don't know. When I saw him, he was already on the verge of death and fell at the entrance of Yuandan Street." Hu Danian's eyes were gloomy and his expression was a bit complicated. "This heavy fog filled Yuandan Street. , and some nearby areas, there are a small number of smokers, the symptoms are relatively mild, they are just contaminated by the spiritual imprint of the sealed object, and they can return to normal after interpreting the dream... That poor man must have mistakenly entered the core block where the heavy fog is, I lost my way and couldn't find the exit, so I was exhausted by the heavy fog and drained of my flesh and blood."

After hearing this, Gu Shen slowly lowered his head.

When we finally found the Yuandan Street exit, there was no way we could save it... This was such a desperate thing.

"Just now, why didn't you let me in?"

Gu Shen added: "I have confirmed the existence of the sealed artifact...it is in those abandoned factories."

Hu Danian looked at Gu Shen with complicated eyes.

If I remember correctly, Gu Shen's mission was to track down Shi Li, so he should have just entered this neighborhood, and he found the factory in no more than twenty minutes?

This is indeed genius.

He sighed softly and stretched out one of his hands, "I also confirmed the location of the sealed object, accurate to the specific factory... The price I paid was an afternoon and this."

Hu Danian took off the glove on his left hand. Visible to the naked eye, the skin texture of that palm had age spots and layers of wrinkles, as if he had aged for twenty years.

"this……?"

Gu Shen's pupils shrank, in disbelief.

"This heavy fog that spreads across Yuandan Street can completely disorient anyone who is in it. Even extraordinary people are no exception. If you want to get out of the fog, you can only rely on luck."

"According to my inference, if all this mist is released, it should be able to fill half of the old city... I don't know why, but most of the mist is suppressed in that factory, that is to say, the place where the sealed artifact is located , is the most dangerous place." Hu Danian lowered his eyes and smiled sarcastically: "My original idea was the same as yours, since I can't leave Yuandan Street, then destroy the sealed objects and stop this pollution... But only After touching the inner wall of that factory building, my hand became like this."

Skin aging.

Flesh and blood withered.

These injuries are not incurable... but what is certain is that even with the best means of treatment, Hu Danian's left hand has lost at least "twenty years" of life.

"I have confirmed that there is no one else in this block. Although the madman from the Jiujiu Foundation does not want his life, he will not stay here to be consumed by the fog in vain. The factory where the sealed items are placed does not need to be guarded at all... because No one can enter it at all." Hu Danian covered his lips, suppressed his coughing, and gasped: "This is by no means a so-called C-level sealed object... The extraordinary anomaly in the factory is at least A-level, the two of us It’s impossible to cope with it.”

Gu Shen was silent for a moment and said: "But Shi Li entered the factory...it means that the Jiujiu Foundation has a unique method."

"You... don't want to be a savior, a great hero, do you?" Helplessness appeared on Hu Danian's face. He smiled silently, stretched out his left hand and said: "The Jiujiu Foundation can enter, can you? Take a look. My hands...this is what happens when you mistakenly think you are the protagonist of a novel."

"If I had observed more carefully, I wouldn't have made this mistake."

Hu Danian's raised hand was trembling, but his voice was extremely stable.

"The best way now is to wait a little longer until Shi Li appears from the factory. We just need to follow him and leave 'Yuan Dan Street'... As for this bullshit fog, let the ruling office Let the judges resolve it."

Hu Danian grinned and said with a sneer: "Little brother, listen to my advice. If you don't have the strength of the ninth level of the deep sea, don't go into this muddy water."

Yes.

Hu Danian is right.

This is indeed the best way... If all this goes as planned, then Gu Shen won't mind doing this.

He squatted quietly behind the stone wall and suddenly asked such a question.

"What if Shi Li walks out of the factory and we lose him?"

Hu Danian was startled.

"Then... grind it bit by bit." He said solemnly: "Our mental power is much stronger than that of normal people, and we can last longer in this fog."

"You've been wandering around in the fog on Yuandan Street all afternoon. This block is not big, but you still haven't found the direction... Logically speaking, even if you touch the stone wall, try it bit by bit and move step by step. , we should have found the exit."

Gu Shen laughed softly and said slowly: "Why did that poor man in the old city find the exit when he finally died... Do you think this could be a coincidence? This street is just lucky. Can you get out, or...only the dead can leave?"

Hearing this, Hu Danian felt horrified.

"Since you have been looking for an exit on Yuandan Street all afternoon, did you see Shi Li's figure just now?" Gu Shen lowered his eyes and asked again: "In this heavy fog, no matter what Whether it is his extraordinary ability or his naked eye sight, both are suppressed below five meters. We can't see Shi Li at all, let alone follow him... No matter how ugly it is to say it, if it's more pessimistic, you can be sure that Shi Li is still in that factory now. What?"

"you mean……"

Hu Danian's voice was trembling.

"This heavy fog has a special barrier that isolates people from certain landscapes in front of them... It's similar to a blindfold. So we go around here because we, like the skeleton, have not mastered the trick. People, in this Iridan Street... are the so-called dying people."

Gu Shen said calmly: "But Shi Li is different. I guess the Jiujiu Foundation probably has a breathing method specifically designed to deal with fog, which can allow people to come and go freely without being disturbed by the fog."

Hu Danian sat on the ground, a little desperate.

Only then did he realize...how difficult it was to follow Shi Li.

It's very possible that the other party has already left.

I am still waiting here.

"so what should I do now?"

At this point, he couldn't think of a better way. For some reason, Hu Danian turned his attention to Gu Shen... I remember when they first met in the bar, this immature boy didn't even understand the impact of the basic ability of profiling. .

He is obviously a young child who has entered the extraordinary world for the first time.

Now, how long has it been?

In the fog on Yuandan Street... his analysis was calmer and more objective than his own.

Maybe Gu Shen will have a solution?

As an old man who has traveled around the world for many years, Hu Danian believes in the creed that in critical situations, you must always rely on your own hands and do not expect others to bring you luck...

He felt ashamed for what he had just subconsciously said.

"I have a solution."

Gu Shen lowered his eyes and thought for a long time, then said word by word: "Actually, the method is very simple, but you only have one chance...and you must cooperate fully."

"……explain."

Hu Danian cheered up and sat up quickly.

"The premise of all this is that Shi Li has not left Yuan Dan Street and is located in the sealed artifact factory..." Gu Shen said slowly: "The current information that can be confirmed is that Shi Li does not know that there are still people in Yuan Dan Street. Others stop by. So, he neither knows your existence nor mine."

"Of course, we don't know what he is going to do when he comes to Yuandan Street."

"If he is allowed to complete the task successfully and leave like this...then the next time he comes back, it will have to wait until at least one day later."

Speaking of this, Hu Danian suddenly understood. He probably understood what Gu Shen meant.

"Do you want to...take the initiative to expose yourself?"

"That's right." Gu Shen nodded calmly and said, "But... only one of you and me is exposed. The other one launches a surprise attack."

"Raid?"

Hu Danian was stunned. This method was indeed simple... but the risk was too great.

"Those lunatics from the Jiujiu Foundation are all desperate for their lives!"

"Shi Li's record in the Chengxin Association is that he is on the fourth level of the deep sea, but it is most likely a lie. His true strength may be on the fifth or sixth level... In a head-to-head confrontation, I am definitely not his opponent. Even if he launches a surprise attack, he has no chance of winning." Hu Danian gritted his teeth and said: "...This method is too reckless. Maybe if we wait a little longer, a high-level transcendent will be arranged to break the situation, and we can be successfully rescued."

"What if... the fog in the factory spreads before people come? You also know that the Jiujiu Foundation is crazy. If they dare to release sealed objects in the old city, they must be ready to kill them all." Gu Shen said calmly. He said: "Do you want to stay here and wait for rescue from above? I also want to be rescued... but I don't want to be that corpse on the street, let alone leave my fate to other people's hands."

Hu Danian stared at the young man blankly.

He was completely silent.

"If you want to live and are willing to believe me, let me launch the final raid. I am sure to end all this." Gu Shen said softly: "I don't want to be a savior, nor do I want to be a hero... I just want to, Live."
