Bulwark of Light

Chapter 394 Balancing

Chu Ling spoke out her dreams and waved her hands to evoke specific pictures.

It’s not so much a dream, it’s better to say that this is a photo captured by [Sky Eye].

The logic of this picture is very rigorous, like a scene shot from a kilometer altitude… The square city wall is mottled and faded, and there are dilapidated alleys and crowded crowds. crowd.

These people wear white linen robes…

And most of them wear uniform badges on their shoulders, which Gu Shen is very familiar with.

Trident.

“This is Nanzhou?”

Gu Shen recognized the meaning of the badge at a glance… These people are all followers of the storm divide throne.

“Yes.”

Chu Ling slowly nodded.

The last time she saw the guidance screen in the dream… was a pale snow field, there was no information to speak of, only a silvery white, and it was necessary to use the wishing technique to find the specific location.

The picture this time is completely different, the badge alone provides a lot of information.

Nanzhou, the followers of the storm divide throne, gathered in such a small town.

The database immediately started running…Chu Ling started looking for the location of this photo.

Gu Shen’s expression was a little complicated.

He was long relaxed.

travel far and wide looking for something, only to return and find it easily.

I am still having a headache, how to start the ancient writing meeting, or how to meet the next “scuffle situation”… Chu Ling’s dream of guidance came in time, which greatly relieved his pressure.

The reason why the [Lamp Search] program was started at the very beginning was because Chu Ling’s dreams no longer appeared.

Lost guidance.

There is no way for Gu Shen to find the [Bronze Man Lantern] even with wishing.

You can only rely on the stupidest method…in Chu Ling’s words, exhaustion.

Now it’s different.

There is a picture of a dream, even if the database can’t find the answer, you can use the prayer to pay the price and seek guidance!

Soon.

Gu Shen called up a temporarily generated case file report and the corresponding image simulation results. An aerial picture with a similarity of 98% was presented in front of him. This is the dreamland of Chu Ling. The same ancient city, and a large number of believers wearing the Trident badge.

“Nanzhou…Inland State, Tinyin City.”

……

……

Lu Nanzhihui Go to 【Conference Hall】.

She took a deep breath, and without waiting for Gu Shen to speak, she took the lead and said the result of her contemplation.

“Judging from the current situation, launching the members of the Ancient Literature Society to search… is not the best choice, and the time is not ripe. The identities of [Key] and [Source Code] alone are not enough. It’s not enough to gain everyone’s convincing. My suggestion is to let Huazhi join the [Lamp-seeking] program, throw enough money out, and wait for the other family to join in. The more people join, the faster you can find the lights …but the final result will also become very troublesome, what we need to plan is how to bring back the real bronze lamp among many opponents.”

This is a very long sentence. .

It can be seen that during the time of leaving, Mrs. seriously thought about it for a long time.

After listening quietly, Gu Shen pressed a picture of spirit strength on the long table and slowly pushed it over.

Lu Nanzhi was startled.

She looked at the photo slid in front of her…with a confused expression.

A strange city.

“The situation has changed.” Gu Shen smiled bitterly, and he said softly, holding his forehead: “I think… I should have found the location of the last lamp.”

Lu Nanzhi narrowed his eyes and looked at the photo carefully.

“This is…”

“Nanzhou, Inland State, Xiyin City.” Gu Shen said: “The last lamp is here.”

Mrs. Lu gave Gu Shen a strange look.

This kid…

It should only take half an hour to disconnect it by myself.

I thought hard about a simple plan, and when I came back, I found everything… Obviously these plans can be declared invalid.

But how did you find this?

“Thanks to some unspeakable mysterious power.” Gu Shen slowly said: “I don’t know where the thing is, but I can be sure…the thing is in the City of Tin and Silver.”

>

Unspeakable mysterious power?

Mrs. is easy to understand, showing a meaningful look… Divination Technique!

Although she is in Dadu, she always pays attention to Gu Shen’s deeds in the Snow Forbidden City… The news that Gu Shen was accepted as a Disciple by Master Qianye and spread to Huazhi really made Mrs. Shocked.

Heirs of Divination Technique.

It’s a great identity.

There are only two “Divination Technique Masters” in the entire five continents. This number is even rarer than the so-called “S-Rank”.

Gu Shen saw at a glance the reason for Madam’s strange expression, but he didn’t explain anything.

Divination Technique Just Divination Technique.

Madam can think what she wants… This reason is more credible than Chu Ling’s dream.

“Okay…the plan can be overturned.” Lu Nanzhi asked softly, “Are you going to leave immediately?”

“Yes.”

Gu Shen thought for a while, then said slowly: “It’s just… I’ve never been to places other than Eastern Continent.”

Lu Nanzhi understood.

……

……

The propellers spin.

The clouds swept across.

Gu Shen sat on the side of the cabin, leaning against the window, looking at the cloudscape and the shrinking snow-capped city.

He remembered what the Second Elder of the Li family had said at this time.

Backed against a huge wall, it is so majestic.

This year has been so clean, until now Gu Shen can feel the beauty of “back against the giant wall”.

If you want to leave for Nanzhou, you only need to wait for a while, and there will be a special plane from Huaqi to pick you up.

Lu Nanzhi also thoughtfully gave her an assistant.

Cui Zhongcheng quietly turned the pages of the book and said softly: “The lady told me about the lamp search… She thinks you may need a helper. If you don’t think you need it, wait until you land in Nanzhou. , I will fly back by myself.”

“I’m so sorry…”

“I’ve come,” Gu Shen laughed, without rejecting: “Nanzhou I’m afraid you need to pay more attention.”

I don’t know Nanzhou.

But he knows Cui Zhongcheng. If nothing else, the second-in-command of Huazhi is quite reliable in “doing things”.

In this matter, one more helper will save a lot of effort.

Acquaintances meet, but there are not many greetings.

The two sat quietly on the plane, waiting for takeoff and the final landing.

Gu Shen watched the light from the plane window fall on Cui Zhongcheng’s face, and realized that…the two hadn’t seen each other for a year.

The last time was on National Highway 447, at the entrance of the Shrine Mountain Boundary, and the transaction was successfully completed.

A year has passed, and time seems to have stopped growing on this man’s face. There is an indescribable elegance about him, old but not decadent, swaying but not public.

Hours passed.

After Cui Zhongcheng finished reading the book, he took out the notebook full of words and spoke softly, breaking the peace.

“Nanzhou is the most chaotic place among the five continents… [Deep Sea] spends a lot of computing power every year to ‘balance’ information processing in Nanzhou.”

“Balance?” Gu Shen closed his eyes and slowly opened them.

“People live in the [Deep Sea] link, what they see, what they hear… are processed information. To let a person know how bad this world is, just replace him , change his search page, keep throwing negative news on him, and want to make a person think that this world is very beautiful…the other way around.” Cui Zhongcheng indifferently said: “This is ‘balanced’, [Deep Sea] At the beginning of its birth, it was doing such a thing, making a macro change in the world’s impression of the world, and finally maintaining a balance point.”

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes.

That’s nice to say…a macro change?

This is actually just playing with people’s hearts.

He suddenly realized…with [Deep Sea], for the ordinary person, it does not really broaden their cognition, on the contrary, they can no longer see the “real” world.

Everything you see is covered by a veil of nothingness.

And can never be shredded.

If you don’t have enough authority, you can only live in “falsehood” forever. At most, you can only raise a weak voice of doubt that cannot change the world, and then in the voice of others’ doubts, little by little begins Question yourself.

“Because this place in Nanzhou…it’s so bad, all kinds of bad extraordinary events are emerging one after another, and there is no limited control.” Cui Zhongcheng whispered: “So much that [Deep Sea] costs more and more. To achieve balance, the Central Federation has decided to take further measures.”

“For example?”

“For example…to take the lead in the awakening plan The experimental site is changed to Nanzhou instead of Eastern Continent.” Cui Zhongcheng said calmly: “It’s just that there may be uncontrollable situations… Because there are many local believers in Nanzhou, they believe in themselves more than the federal government. The ‘God’.”

Gu Shen frowned: “Storm divide throne?”

Cui Zhongzhongshook the head.

“It’s the ‘god’ of illusory, not the real ‘god’.” He asked with a smile: “For ordinary people, if there is a god in their world, then they Do you still believe in following?”

Gu Shen fell silent.

Cui Zhongcheng took out the photo and said slowly: “In fact… although Nanzhou is chaotic, it is not easy for foreigners to enter Xiyin City. This is a purely religious place. An open trading city, if not a believer, without a sustainable identity, will soon be discovered.”

Yes.

Recall that in the pictures you see in the city of Tinyin, the streets and alleys are full of priests dressed in various linen robes.

“But… the matter of identity, don’t worry, I have already settled it before coming.”

Cui Zhongcheng said calmly: “After landing in Nanzhou, your alternate name will be’ Amir’, passport, identification, all on the back of the seat, as well as a set of priest robes of the ‘Crescent Church’, as well as a doctrinal platform, remember to take a look in advance to avoid revealing the contents.”

” Wait a minute… are we going to enter Tinyin City in this way?”

Gu Shen was stunned.

“No…not us.”

Cui Zhongcheng frowned and corrected righteously: “Only you. You enter Tinyin City alone.”

>

“What about you?”

“Don’t get me wrong, I’m just dropping by… This time I landed in Nanzhou because I wanted to negotiate and cooperate with a local general.” Cui Zhongcheng casually Spreading out the book on the ground, he said, “I will assist you all the way, but it is outside the city of Xiyin.”

“…”

Gu Shen pulled out the set of white robes. , fell into a long silence.

The plane landed with a roar.

Cui Zhongcheng closed the book, stretched out a hand, looked directly into Gu Shen’s eyes, and said seriously: “I wish you a good harvest.”

 …

……

The climate of Sigin Castle and Nagano are diametrically opposite.

This place is located in the tropics and is extremely hot. The big white robes that passers-by wear is actually used to protect from the heat… But the extreme climate has no effect on the transcender. As long as you run the breath of spring, you will feel the whole body. A cool breeze.

Gu Shen successfully entered Xiyin City as “Amir”, and Cui Zhongcheng prepared a “luxury hotel” for him in advance. The environment in the city is very bad, there should be something like a slum.

Gu Shen rejected many requests from young children to carry bags along the way. He walked around Xiyin City alone, and saw many beggars in the streets and alleys. These people were crowded under the bridge, spreading a mat.

Perhaps this is their home.

Is there a “hotel” in such a place?

I didn’t expect that, just across a river, across the past, the urban center of tin and silver is very prosperous, with tall buildings rising from the ground, and passers-by wearing gold and silver jewelry.

There really are hotels here, and they are very luxurious.

After nightfall, Gu Shen stood on the top floor overlooking the scene outside the window… One side of the Xi Yinhe River was splendid and prosperous, the lights were dim, and the other side of the river was dark and muddy and struggling.

He remembered what Cui Zhongcheng said about “balanced”… Before today, in Eastern Continent, he didn’t know that Nanzhou turned out to be like this, and the real life of Xiyincheng may have been changed. It has been uploaded to the [Deep Sea] network 10,000 times, but it may not even be delivered once.

And the most terrifying thing is-

The two ends of the information, one end thinks that they have really sent it out, and the other end thinks that they have really received it.

Everyone lives in their own “ideal town”.

Mr. Alan Turing’s original intention to create [Deep Sea] is to create a perfect “utopia”, and [Deep Sea] is using another way to reach the end…

If utopia does not exist.

It also cannot be manufactured.

Then it just needs to change people’s perception of it…and it can accomplish the goal.

“Sorry…Actually, I only learned about ‘balance’ today.”

Chu Ling’s voice came to my mind.

There was an apology in her voice.

“Why are you apologizing to me?” Gu Shen laughed.

He stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the unfamiliar Tinyin City, and knowing this scene, it also passed into Chu Ling’s eyes at this moment.

The two of them share “one pair of eyes”.

“The operation logic of [Deep Sea] is very complicated, and [source code] is only one part of it… That’s why I can only use part of my authority.” Chu Ling said softly: “About the processing of information , transmission, and presentation were not so complicated at the very beginning… It may be that the so-called ‘equilibrium’ appeared with the upgrade and evolution.”

The meaning of equilibration is that In order to protect the world’s information equivalence.

And the means of protection is essentially deception.

It’s like… No one would have thought that the real meaning of [Deep Sea] is to spiritually link transcenders to build a pure spiritual world [Deep Water Zone].

“This choice may have a very bad impact on the human world…” Chu Ling slowly said.

“It’s all the same.” Gu Shen interrupted her.

He said calmly: “What transcender does…as well as deceit. Maybe there is never ‘true’ or ‘false’, what we see, what we believe, and what is true…is Three things.”

Chu Ling dumbfounded.

“Believe is to be, to be is to believe… Or, simply does not exist. “

Gu Shen closed the curtains again.

He stopped looking at the world outside, and said softly: “At least… balancing provides a possibility for the world.” ”

……

……

It is not an easy thing to find ordinary antiques without extraordinary power in Tin Silver City.

Nanzhou has a total of seven territories, twenty-two states, and one central jurisdiction, and tin and silver are among the top three “trade cities”, with hundreds of thousands of goods circulating here every day .

Antiques…maybe not that many, but they are countless.

Gu Shen knows that what he is looking for may not necessarily be found in the bustling central area, and it is very likely Appeared in the muddy slum at the other end of the Tin Galaxy, and most importantly, based on the experience of the last snowfield.

According to the guidelines, immediately rushed to the Tiny Silver City, at this time, it was basically possible to ensure that the [object] was still there In the city.

It may take a while…but I can’t tell.

【Lamp of Wrath】has the probability of being taken away.

Gu Shen must act quickly.

In this case, if you want to find an “antiquities”, you can’t help but use [money ability], which is the fastest and best way. One… Gu Shen paid a small advance payment, found twenty children and youths in slums, asked them to carefully search for information about lamps similar to lamps, and promised follow-up remuneration.

For these slum dwellers, Gu Shen’s “advance payment” is already quite lucrative.

Clearly, this is a big boss!

It’s just that Gu Shen’s conditions for paying follow-up remuneration are very harsh, requiring that the news cannot be spread, and the search for antique lamps can only be done by themselves, because he will only pay the remuneration to one person in the end… In this way, it will prevent the spread of news. Probability of scale delivery.

These twenty people thought they were lucky, and after getting the advance payment, they desperately searched for the news of the lamp.

After doing all this, Gu Shen came to an Auction House in the central district of Xiyin City…According to the information provided by Cui Zhongcheng, this icon Auction House is the largest and most authoritative auction place in Xiyin City, and it is also the favorite place of many rich people in Xiyin City. The land.

The second clue to find the “lamp” is related to the Auction House.
