Bulwark of Light

Chapter 514 Don't Ask Me Why

After checking into the tent.

Gu Shen thought about the next decision, the battle to defend the Umbrella Line has already begun, and this war determines the movement of the entire North Continent... If the "spiritual toxin" is removed, then the gates of Gubao Fortress can be opened to welcome all backup!
Gubao Fang should have prepared for the worst at this moment——

When they established the quarantine area, they never thought that they could treat these quarantined people in a short time.

If you want to resolve this disaster, you still need to contact "Lin Lin".

Gu Shen made a decision.

Before he had time to dial Lin Lin's number, the communicator took the first step and rang by itself.

"drop--"

Gu Shen glanced at the number.

It's interesting... Just as I was about to act, that guy took the initiative to come to the door.

"Gu Shen, I'm Lin Lin."

The voice on the communicator was extremely calm, and said: "You don't need to stay in the isolation area... Exit the tent and turn right to the end, Zou Hai will wait for you there."

Communication hangs up.

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes.

This call came at the right time, and I saved myself a lot of trouble.

However, Gu Shen did not expect that Lin Lin would take the initiative to call and invite him to meet.

This area is full of suspected infected people... How dare Lin Lin let himself out like this?
……

……

The end of the quarantine zone.

Zou Hai was wearing a military uniform, and was leading the Labrador dog that had awakened its extraordinary ability.

The big dog squatted obediently, wagging its tail.

Adjutant Zou looked at Gu Shen with a smile, "Here?"

"Just going out like this... Doesn't conform to the regulations of the fortress?"

Gu Shen glanced back at the tents in the isolation area. All the returnees this time were regarded as "suspected infected persons". Due to the special period, the team members of the maze task did not enjoy the treatment of "heroes". Instead, they were forcibly quarantined, even Yuan Yuan and Su He were no exception.

"The regulations of the fortress are determined by the brigadier general."

Zou Hai said: "What's more, we are not ignorant of this 'spiritual poison'..."

"Oh?"

Gu Shen raised his eyebrows.

"A person with strong enough mental strength can resist and 'kill' the toxin."

Zou Hai said calmly: "The reason why I know this information is because the Brigadier General relied on his own willpower to successfully 'destroy' the poison that invaded the spiritual sea."

"..."

It really is a ruthless person.

Gu Shen was silent for a while, no wonder Zhong Yuan, who was in "close contact" with his group, could turn around and join Jubi's battle command. With the strength of Zhong Yuan and Lin Lin, they could indeed fight against the "Golden Spike Flower Poison".

It is not difficult to guess the reason why Lin Lin dared to let him leave the "quarantine area".

This guy's eyes are very vicious.

Before the maze mission started, when Gu Shen and the second investigation team were conducting internal "confrontation training", Lin Lin was staring at him.

He has long seen that he has hidden "spiritual power".

……

……

"sit."

It is still the attic and the study.

Lin Lin's tone was not so cold this time.

He folded his hands, sat with his elbows propped up, and solemnly looked at Gu Shen in a scrutinizing and staring posture.

Gu Shen closed the door smoothly.

When he closed the door, he found that... this action was "unnecessary". Lin Lin had already arranged a soundproof seal in the room, and he was already prepared to block this conversation.

This study is very quiet.

Lin Lin even broke [Deep Sea]'s chain of power here. After stepping here, the spiritual link between Gu Shen and Chu Ling was also broken.

This is not something that "ordinary sealed items" can accomplish.

The sun shines in from the window sill of the study, and the sound of roaring and shocking from the distant sky continues to spread into the territory of the giant wall. It can even be heard in the attic at this moment. Hundreds of energy boats have gathered in the front line, conducting battles outside the defense line. Non-stop bombardment.

"Congratulations, you came back alive."

Lin Lin said the same congratulations as [Deep Sea].

It's just that this congratulatory word sounds more meaningful in his mouth...

Gu Shen smiled and said, "It was our luck that we saved a life from the storm."

Lin Lin shook his head.

He said softly: "I am not congratulating them, but you alone."

Gu Shen was stunned, he silently looked at the young brigadier general.

This conversation may not be as simple as I imagined.

The youngest "General" in Beizhou is one of the sharpest guys Gu Shen has ever seen, his eyes seem to see through his own soul... although Gu Shen knows that is impossible.

Blazing fire possesses top-level concealment power.

In addition, he also wore a "golden hoop".

Even the queen's apostle, Ajiaer, couldn't see through his own reality, and it was even less likely for Lin Lin to see through.

"Actually, I know that your entire team has not been infected by spiritual elements..."

Lin Lin picked up the teacup, poured a cup for Gu Shen, and said softly, "The aura of those 'infected' is different from yours. Their spirit exudes a rotten aura, as if bitten by a snake. They will die if they don't get 'treatment', it's just the difference between fast and slow. People who are dying are placed in the isolation area. After five days at most, they will not be able to resist the erosion of spirit. Another area Those who are in better mental condition will be placed inside, and they can still live for half a month."

"But the end result is always the same..."

Lin Lin said calmly: "If you don't have enough mental power, you will die under the 'toxin'. Even other powerful spiritual systems can hardly achieve 'cure'. This poison penetrates deep into the soul. Fusion. Even if I can resist the 'toxin', I can't save the infected."

Gu Shen knew that Lin Lin was right.

The Brigadier General did capture important information about the "Golden Spike Poison".

This can be regarded as the special development of the power of Pluto's fire, which falls on the mutant creatures of the [Old World].

Golden spike poison has no antidote.

Either they are strong enough to resist.

Or, under the torture of toxins, slowly wither away and become a member of the "Pure Land".

"So, the quarantine was arranged... just to meet me alone?"

Gu Shen took a sip of tea, he sighed softly, "Master Brigadier General, why bother?"

"For some things, it's better to be troublesome."

Lin Lin looked calm, and said slowly: "Zhong Yuan is on the front line, and the investigation team is in the quarantine area. We can finish this conversation with 'no distractions'."

Gu Shen frowned slightly.

"Time is running out, so cut to the chase."

Lin Lin said: "The fortress has no contact with the [Old World], and we can't tell what happened to you outside... But the time when the team arrived at the 'Labyrinth' can be inferred from the spirit disappearance time of the 'Book of Life and Death'."

Yes……

This is indeed information that can be inferred.

"When the quarantine is over, the report file of the investigative legion will be handed in. At that time, all the extraordinary people in Beizhou will be curious about how your team spent one-third of the time to complete the return journey. This is unreasonable. Very unreasonable." Lin Lin tapped lightly on the table, "There is not enough fuel, and the journey is too long...Even if you change the route, you will still face the pursuit of the 'storm'."

This was the most troublesome thing for Gu Shen.

No one can give an explanation.

It is even more impossible for him to show his cards... saying that he used the power of the "Ruler of Truth" left by Pluto to force a 1000% breakthrough in the kinetic energy system of the source armor.

"To be reasonable..."

"The only thing is to change the case file and adjust the halfway point." Lin Lin lowered his eyes and said slowly: "You have arrived at the [Maze] ahead of time, and you have also left the [Maze] ahead of time... that place has collapsed, and there will be no follow-up. There is an investigation plan, and everything that happened in the [Old World] is unknown in the fortress."

Hearing this sentence, Gu Shen's expression froze.

He looked at Lin Lin who was calmly drinking tea in front of him with a strange expression, and realized that what the brigadier general called him to ask for was not what he thought...

Lin Lin didn't come to investigate the secrets.

Instead, help yourself to make this unsolvable case file understandable and reasonable.

He has come up with the solution to the biggest trouble.

There is a difficulty in this solution, that is, "unified caliber". It is basically impossible for the investigative legion to make fake dossiers, because the fortress will conduct strict verification... But the person who proposed "falsified dossiers" at this moment is precisely Those in power who control Kürnburg.

"I will modify the file to a certain extent." Lin Lin said quietly: "Why do you look at me like this?"

Gu Shen's expression was complicated: "I just didn't expect...you are such a person. Why did you do this?"

The image of Lin Lin in Gu Shen's mind has always been closely related to words like iron-blooded, cruel, and ruthless.

It's hard to imagine that the garrison of a fortress would take the initiative to propose "making fake dossiers".

But, why did he do this?
Gu Shen recalled the details of the time when he met Lin Lin, and found that the brigadier general really had no motive to help him...

The garrison of Beizhou Fortress, why should he help a Dongzhou native?

wait a minute...

Beizhou...the garrison of the fortress...surnamed Lin...

These clues were pieced together trivially. After arriving at Gubao, too many things happened. Gu Shen didn't realize that the elements of this young brigadier general and a certain mysterious guy in his impression highly overlapped.

Gu Shen remembered what Ajar said again.

【"Without the permission of Central City, it is impossible for the energy boat to leave Beizhou without permission."】

Cannon fire roared in the distant sky.

Lin Lin held the tea and quietly looked at the seat opposite.

Gu Shen was also holding tea.

The two of them just kept staring at each other in silence...

A certain thought that was about to come out spread in the hearts of the two at the same time. Perhaps it was the guidance of intuition. The two young people had a bold guess about the other's identity, but there was no evidence.

In the isolated room of [Deep Sea].

There was a full 3 minutes of silence.

Both Gu Shen and Lin Lin resisted the urge to say certain key words. Once those key words are spoken, they will point to key evidence... Maybe it is a good thing, or it may be a disaster.

Sometimes, silence is better.

"Do not ask me why……"

"The Lin family does a lot of things for no reason."

Lin Lin broke the calm and said: "I am a person who trusts 'intuition'. When I make important decisions, I never think about why."

So... this matter is a big decision.

indeed.

A fortress garrison fabricated false records to deceive the entire Central City and the entire North Continent.

This is indeed a big decision!
"Ok."

Gu Shen sighed, feeling inexplicably relieved in his heart, he said frankly: "If we don't need to explain why when we get along, then things will become much simpler... I hope you won't ask me why in the future."

Lin Lin was stunned.

"I can undo the 'mental toxin'..."

Gu Shen paused for a second, looking into Lin Lin's eyes, "It's not a certain person, but the whole Gubao."
