Bulwark of Light

Chapter 169 Gold Plated Invitation

"Okay. If you continue, you will think I'm long-winded."

Zhou Jiren clapped his hands, and the ancient vine-wood umbrella protruding from the sky suddenly burrowed towards the ground, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only a slowly healing seam in the ground.

The rain stopped.

The long street is cold.

"The storage of the 'black spot' has been completed. I will submit a file to the council for this incident. I will say that there is a mistake in the investigation, and it is just the overflow of extraordinary source quality." He said softly: "The ability of blazing fire to devour disorder... At this stage, it is not easy to be exposed."

"I understand."

Gu Shen understands this truth.

He looked deeply at Mr. Shu, "Thank you."

"Huh..."

Zhou Jiren smiled and waved his hands, "Boy, why don't you be polite to me?"

The old guy usually seems to be far-fetched, but he is very reliable in real situations.

"correct……"

Gu Shen suddenly remembered something, he rubbed his head and said in a low voice, "After the explosion in the Freedom Auditorium...did I pass out?"

Zhou Jiren's eyelids twitched slightly.

The old guy asked back with an unchanged expression: "Otherwise?"

"I always feel... I had a dream, and the dream was very real. The three of me, my senior sister, and you, went to trade in the no-man's land on the border of Dadu." Gu Shen smiled wryly, and said, "Then I met a A drunkard called 'Mr. Bai', what did that guy say to me... I passed out, and when I woke up, I was on a hospital bed."

Zhou Jiren said indifferently: "How much did you drink, and the dreams you have are quite rich?"

"The main reason is that the way you treated the senior sister today is inexplicably familiar to me..." Gu Shen looked at the teacher suspiciously, "This trick is cheating, did you use it against me once?"

Of course Zhou Jiren denied it flatly.

Gu Shen couldn't come up with evidence, so he could only let it go, but he felt more and more... This matter is not just a dream, it is very likely that the senior sister was also hypnotized by this old guy's special method.

"Speaking of the 'black spot' incident this time..."

Zhou Jiren was very perfunctory to Mr. Bai's question, and he forcibly changed the subject afterwards. Standing in front of the dilapidated factory building, he pointed to the shards of iron sheet floating in the air, and asked, "Do you have any questions?" Don't you feel anything wrong?"

"Not right..."

Gu Shen nodded slowly.

He remembered that this workshop originally had array patterns recorded.

At the beginning, I just thought that the pattern was a special ceremony to gather the extraordinary source quality, which led to the birth of the fog on Yuandan Street...

"Black spots are not easy to produce. If the pattern on the file is related to black spots, then things may be bad." Zhou Jiren said in a deep voice, "Xiao wants to create an explosion with only explosives, which is still within the controllable range... ...If he can create a sealed item, and he can also create a 'black spot' by some means, then the damage this guy can cause to order is immeasurable."

Gu Shen took out the bloody compass.

For a long time, it was Xiao Xiao who had a one-way connection with himself.

"This compass...was originally intended to be sent to Cui Zhongzhong. If I guessed correctly, Xiao wanted to create a 'disaster' that would attract everyone's attention." Gu Shen said softly: "And he regards this as a A... game."

"He doesn't care about the life and death of ordinary people, and he doesn't care whether order exists."

Zhou Jiren said coldly: "Such a person does have the motivation to create a 'collapse point of order'... What a disgusting existence."

"The beauty of this world often does not depend on how hard most people work, because it only takes one or two bottomless scum to destroy all the beauty."

Gu Shen fell silent after hearing the words.

Zhou Jiren took out a note from his bosom, handed it to Gu Shen, and said, "Here... have a look at this."

"This is?"

"The annual free dance party is about to begin." Mr. Shu said softly: "Most of the 'big shots' on the top floor will receive invitations, and the place of the dance party is the Liberty Auditorium that you are familiar with. According to the procedures of previous years, the big shots will be there Enjoying receptions, dances, recitals... In addition to material enjoyment, this is a rare social opportunity for them."

Gu Shen was fascinated when he heard it.

He looked at this invitation and felt that it was as heavy as a thousand weights.

"Wait a minute... Am I considered a big shot now?" Gu Shen asked cautiously.

"Of course, you are the S-rank of the tribunal, the future upstart of Dongzhou." Zhou Jiren laughed.

Gu Shen also laughed, this was the first time he received something like an "invitation card". The thin envelope was torn apart, and a layer of gold was ironed on the edge of the black-bottomed paper.

This invitation... seems to be gilded?

Whoa!Generous!
He weighed it, and said with great emotion: "This invitation is quite heavy... It's really honorable."

"I also think that such an important invitation has such face, and it would be a waste if you don't show it off." Zhou Jiren also expressed the same feeling, then stretched out his hand, took the invitation back and said: "Actually, this invitation is for Mine, just let you have a look."

Gu Shen was dumbfounded.

Zhou Jiren smiled and said, "Here, how about the gold-plated one, doesn't it look good?"

Just like when the pardon was posted, Mr. Shu hung the invitation in front of Gu Shen, and asked three questions if it looked good.

"Pooh……"

Gu Shen was greatly disappointed, and glared at the old guy viciously.

"After all, you are the upstart in the future... It's not time to receive invitations yet." Zhou Jiren stuffed the invitation back into his pocket and said in a high-spirited way: "But it doesn't matter if you don't have an invitation, you can still join the club, and you have tasks to hand over to the club." you."

"This free dance is different from previous years...Because of the Awakening Act, the big figures attending the dance are roughly divided into two factions, supporters and opponents. You know the specific situation. The final battlefield of the bill falls in Dadu, and It's just one vote away."

Gu Shen's expression became serious.

"That vote... belongs to Lu Nanzhi."

"After the candidates' speeches, Lu Nanzhi hid in the old house on Lion Lane and did not see anyone. Neither the Huaqi supporters led by Zhao Xilai nor the Nanwan opposition led by Chen San. This momentum should continue. Going to the ball...For both parties, the ball is the most important opportunity for contact." Zhou Jiren lowered his voice: "Obviously, the two sides will compete at this ball, and this is a war without gunpowder."

"All the big names will be there..."

Gu Shen realized something, he murmured: "The believers of the Changjiu Foundation will also act, this is the best time!"

"good--"

Zhou Ji said humanely: "Xiao will not miss such a good opportunity, he will definitely take action...In the past free dances, people of Zhao Chen's level will not participate."

Gu Shen silently clenched his fists.

"I will arrange for you to enter the banquet venue in another way..." Zhou Jiren said in a low voice, "You and Nan Jin need to keep an eye on the guests in the venue, and don't let anything go wrong."

The old guy solemnly patted Gu Shen on the shoulder, and said boldly: "Little Gu, although there is no invitation card, you are the real hunter of this ball!"
