Barrier of Light

Qingzhong Cemetery, sunset and dusk.

"Everyone, Lord God has sealed the inner mausoleum and refuses to see anyone else."

The Bai family's garrison spoke politely to the young people in front of them.

Especially the one in white.

"...This is what the head of the family wants."

The garrison paused and added in a tactful tone: "Please don't be embarrassed."

Baixiu, Shen Li, Gong Zi, Mu Nan, several people who usually go to Chunyu Temple as guests, gathered in the cemetery today. They have been standing here for the whole day, from sunrise to almost sunset. With their status , there is no place in Nagano that is not accessible, but the mausoleum inside the cemetery is unreachable.

The few people had no intention of forcing their way in. They just expressed their intentions to the defenders and stood still.

The entire cemetery and the entire Nagano are under the control of Mr. Bai Shu.

Their first step into the cemetery.

Already seen.

There is no movement in the inner mausoleum. This is already the attitude of the god. Bai Shu does not want to see anyone here, including Bai Xiu.

"Let's go."

Shen Li pulled the white sleeves shirt and said softly: "Little sleeves... don't stand here anymore."

"Lord God, I don't understand what you mean."

The white sleeves did not move at all. He stood at the foot of Neiling Mountain, with the majestic fog in front of him. This was the place where he and Gu Shen first met, but the figure looking at each other from a distance on the mountain had disappeared.

He insisted on standing at the foot of the mountain, across the inner mausoleum, and spoke to the God of War.

"The Tower of Source wants the Lord of Wine, let me."

"The Church of Storms poisons all living beings and destroys Sangzhou Cave, endure it."

"Baixiu understands that the overall situation is above all, and these things can be ignored."

"It's just that now that Gu Shen is dead, do you think this kind of thing is a small thing that can be tolerated? Have people who have cultivated the fire type really eliminated their humanity and emotions?"

These words made the Bai family garrison's expression change drastically. He spoke to the throne like this outside the mausoleum, and in front of everyone. This was extremely disrespectful!

"..."

On the zenith of the Qing Tomb, the divine clouds and the gentle breeze surged together, but they did not change at all because of Bai Xiu's angry questioning.

The defenders felt a little relieved when they saw that Shenxia was as usual.

The throne doesn't care.

He quickly shouted: "Baixiu... what are you doing? Do you know what you are talking about? Leave quickly!"

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, a figure rushed over from outside the cemetery. It was Bai Xiaochi, the current head of the Bai family. Bai Xiaochi rushed to the front of Wailing Mountain and saw several people gathered together. He sighed softly in his heart. After landing, he stopped the garrison. Between Baixiu and Baixiu, the former saw the owner of the family arriving, and the anger on his face reduced by three points. He stepped back and stood back on the edge of the fog in the cemetery.

After Bai Xiaochi landed, he performed a Nagano-style bow with his sleeves closed. Usually he only bowed slightly, but today's ceremony was almost complete.

Then Bai Xiaochi spoke softly: "Master Shenzuo... Baixiu is young and energetic, and does not understand etiquette. If there is any conflict, please forgive me."

The sky is filled with divine clouds.

Still casual, still not caring, but the breeze blowing from the cemetery at this moment is like waving sleeves, waving twice.

meaning is.

Go ahead.

Bai Xiaochi left with several young people. When he finally left the cemetery, he still did not forget to salute.

After leaving the cemetery, the gentle look on his face disappeared. He looked at Bai Xiu, frowned and asked, "How could you do such a reckless thing?"

"Just do what you want."

Bai Xiu's expression did not change. Until this moment, he still did not regret his actions. He looked up at the head of the family and said calmly: "I have confusion in my heart and anger in my chest. Do I still have to hold it in? Besides, what happened in Nanzhou... If If you don’t ask the throne of God, who else can you ask?”

Bai Xiaochi was choked by these words and couldn't answer.

After a long time, he lowered his eyebrows and sighed: "Of course Lord God knows everything... Don't act like this again in the future, it's not good."

"Ah."

Bai Xiu laughed softly, with a hint of joking in the laughter.

"I came here this time to tell you...this matter does not end here."

Bai Xiaochi took out a paper document from his sleeve and used his mental power to transmit an image to several people.

"Nagano decided to launch an investigation. We believe that Gu Shen's death was not accidental or accidental... It's just that the Sangzhou Cave has been destroyed. There is basically no evidence in this case, and the possibility of finding the truth is slim."

After a slight pause.

Bai Xiaochi said: "So even if an investigation is launched, there may not be a result."

"I will personally lead the 'investigation team'."

Bai Xiaochi looked at the few people and said calmly: "The investigation of this matter will continue until the results are found. The top leaders of the three institutes and five institutes will provide unlimited resource help for this... By the way, This is the instruction of Lord God."

Is this an instruction from the throne of God? Baixiu looked towards the cemetery Shenxia with a complicated expression.

Shen Li spoke first.

"Is there a shortage of people? I want to join the investigation team."

The little iron man's mission has been completed. He sent the divine infant safely to Dongzhou, and the neutral organization will take over later. Now he suddenly becomes "idle".

He took the underworld fire of [Pluto] and just became an [Apostle], but in an instant he became a "lonely person".

Another [Apostle] Mu Wanqiu returned directly to Beizhou after the mission in Sangzhou Cave. Because the rightful owner disappeared, there was no spiritual connection between the two... In fact, there was no good connection between the two. of.

When Shen Li came to Qingzhong this time, he actually came with the idea of ​​taking a look at the "Pluto's Fire".

Gu Shen has not yet refined Pluto's fire. For safety reasons, the fire is stored in the tomb in the cemetery!

If Mr. Bai Shu knew everything...

Then he should also know that he is Gu Shen [Apostle].

Maybe he would put himself in the inner tomb because of the special nature of this identity?

It's a pity that Mr. Bai Zhu didn't let him go at all.

"sure."

Bai Xiaochi put away the documents and said seriously: "If you have time, you can join the 'investigation team' at any time... This is a long job."

…

…

Metropolitan area.

In the urban area with many high-rise buildings, there are a lot of people. A woman wearing a red and white goddess costume is walking on the street, which is extremely eye-catching.

Not because of her outfit.

In the centers of metropolitan areas, there are many young women in "fancy clothes" who imitate the characters in animations. There are also fans who like to wear ancient costumes. Most people are not surprised by this phenomenon...

What made everyone unable to take their eyes away was the beauty of this woman dressed as a goddess.

Chu Ling walked barefoot in the neighborhood.

Her long hair was spread loosely, and she wore a black umbrella like a sword around her waist. Although she was under the scorching sun, she exuded an icy and biting chill. Several of her usually bold chatters were intimidated by this cold temperament.

She looked at the bustling and noisy world calmly. This was not her first time in Dadu. The last time was with Gu Shen. At that time, she thought Dadu was beautiful and lively.

But now she doesn't feel so.

She felt "lonely".

This seemed to be the first time that she recognized her "existence" so clearly. Walking in the long street, watching people coming and going in pairs, countless eyes turned to her, but she was alone.

In fact, the previous visit to Dadu had already attracted a lot of attention.

But at that time, her mind was focused on Gu Shen aside, and she was not aware of the eyes from the outside world.

She didn't walk in the city for too long. Within a moment, a black business car stopped on the side of the road.

After that, she was invited to Huazhi and took the elevator all the way to the top floor.

"Miss Chu, why didn't you say anything when you came here?"

Lu Nanzhi turned her chair in front of the big desk and said helplessly.

Chu Ling just smiled.

She didn't say hello to Madam most of the time, but this was Huazhi's territory. Even if she didn't say hello, she would be asked to leave if she appeared on the street for ten minutes.

"I'm here for the 'divine baby'."

She said calmly: "I want to see the legendary child who never grows up."

"I guessed it, please come with me."

Lu Nanzhi stood up, took Chu Ling into the building's exclusive elevator, and pressed the button for the "minus tenth floor". This is the most mysterious place in the whole building and requires the highest authority. In the past, only Zhao Xilai and Cui Zhongcheng could do it. Enter... In the past twenty years, Huazhi has conducted research on two important projects, the "Gene Act" and the "Awakening Act" on the negative tenth floor.

And now.

The two bills were successively rejected in Dongzhou.

The negative tenth floor... became empty, and for a while no one was working secretly here anymore.

It's just that in this Sangzhou Cave mission, the Ancient Literature Society rescued the "neutral person" who had been cultivated on the Sangzhou Cave island for many years. Lu Nanzhi and Zhuang Suqimo had already made contact, and Huazhi decided to bring the neutral person under his command and re-fund it. They conducted experiments, and the freed "Minus Ten Levels" were used to study the divine infant.

The elevator took the two people to the deepest part of the ground. After opening it, Chu Ling saw the strongest secret base underground in the metropolitan area.

Dark golden bronze doors opened one after another.

What came into view were countless clean and luxurious instruments. The remaining experimental products from the Gene Act were still stored in the negative tenth floor and had not been destroyed. Dozens of nutrition cabins were lined up on both sides of the base.

There are already neutrals in it.

So it was not as quiet as expected. There were many figures walking past this huge base, but no one had time to take a second look at them.

"These are the 'neutrals' that Gu Shen rescued from Sangzhou Cave."

Lu Nanzhi said: "Those who can enter the negative tenth floor are the core members of the 'Neutral' organization. In a sense, they can also be regarded as members of the Ancient Literature Society. Although they have been disconnected for twenty years, … They have not obtained the internal recognition and permission of the Ancient Chinese Society, but the direction they have been moving in these years is consistent with ours.”

Chu Ling nodded in approval.

"lady."

A boxy, palm-sized miniature screen flew over and floated in front of the two of them, with Qi Mo's image reflected on the screen.

"Thank you for providing the venue. The instruments and technology here are so amazing...it may take some time for us to get familiar with it."

This is the reason why with so many people coming and going, no one takes a second look at Lu Nan Zhi Chu Ling.

The backbone of neutrals in the underground of Sangzhou Cave are all idiots who are obsessed with technological research. After they left Sangzhou Cave, they discovered that the technology in the outside world has made rapid progress. The research they have done over the years has become very important. Childishness is like a frog at the bottom of a well.

Especially when you come to Huazhi Underground.

After Lu Nanzhi demonstrated Huazhi's most advanced technologies, they were completely fascinated by these instruments and experimental projects... Now these guys are in the period of searching for a new "lover".

"We're here to see the baby god."

Lu Nanzhi expressed his intention, and then the miniature screen slowly led the two of them deeper into the base.

Finally they arrived at Qi Mo’s exclusive laboratory.

Chu Ling pushed the door open, then stopped, frowning slightly, and looked down.

A pink and tender baby, only wrapped in a simple cloth, was crawling on the ground, and it happened to crawl onto his lap at this moment.

There was no distress in the divine infant's emotions.

Of course there is no joy.

According to previous investigations... this little guy is an "empty shell". It has no soul and is just a container.

But now, he is crawling on the ground. Is this the birth of independent consciousness?

"..."

Chu Ling looked at the little baby who climbed onto his lap and clutched the hem of the goddess's dress, and he felt an inexplicable sense of pity in his heart.

Then she noticed.

There are several tiny machine components on the fabric the baby is wrapped in.

"Don't get me wrong, this is just an experiment."

Qi Mo walked out from behind the main screen of the experimental instrument. He picked up the divine baby and held it in his arms. The baby's face was neither sad nor happy, showing no resistance and no distress...

"These components will drive his joints to move. We are confirming whether the baby has the ability to move."

Qi Mo said slowly: "After all, he has maintained the life form of this age for many years. He has always lived in the form of an infant during these years. Perhaps his bones and muscles have degenerated. But the experimental results are not bad. His movement ability is very complete, except for In addition, I hoped to let him develop muscle memory through 'mechanical' training, but this experiment failed. He doesn't seem to take the initiative, even the simplest crawl..."

On the airship, Qi Mo met the legendary [Source Code].

But Chu Ling did not tell Qi Mo any more information about himself.

So until now, Qi Mo still didn't know the identity of the beautiful woman Lu Nanzhi brought. He just thought that she was someone related to the experiment or someone who was interested in the experiment.

Lu Nanzhi listened patiently and asked, "What is the purpose of doing these two experiments?"

"Madam, you may not know...my inspiration for doing these experiments comes from a mysterious great being."

Qi Mo smiled coquettishly and said with emotion: "She believed that the divine infant could grow up, and entrusted me with this important task... I plan to first confirm the physical condition of the divine infant through a series of basic experiments, and then try Inject nutrient solution and let him grow."

"There is no need to do these basic experiments."

At this moment, Chu Ling spoke. After she glanced at the baby, she gave the latest order: "The baby's physical condition is very good. This is a perfect container. There is no need to measure the data in the early childhood. You need to do it now." There is only one thing to do...find a way to let him grow up. In this process, eliminate all external forces that may allow him to act independently, and do not let him come into contact with aggressive spirits."

This cold and emotionless tone made Qi Mo frown.

He looked displeased and looked at the young woman's face again: "Who are you?"

Chu Ling stretched out her hand and pressed it on a mainframe chassis beside her. Her five fingers turned into countless golden threads. These golden threads were connected throughout the base. The entire closed network on the tenth floor of the building changed hands at this moment. Countless instrument screens began to flash.

Qi Mo was stunned for a moment.

He stared blankly at the countless shining screens and lights.

Chu Ling said calmly: "I am the 'great being' you call me."
