Bulwark of Light

Chapter 618 Exile the Darkness (Second Change)
Gu Shen sometimes wondered whether these things were arranged by the goddess of fate in advance?

Coincidentally, too coincidentally.

It was as if someone had placed each piece of chess in the corresponding position on the chessboard... So there was this scene that stirred up the situation in the five continents, from small to large, and then more grand and spectacular.

An ordinary family's "repentant marriage" would not cause such a big commotion as Meng Xizhou.

This vigorous repentance of the marriage has caused quite a controversy within the five continents, and even attracted some people of the same age to follow suit... For example, Lin Sheng, the daughter of Grand Duke Duanyang, after Gong Zi returned from Beizhou, Zeng and Gu Shen Speaking of his trip to Beizhou and his smooth return at the end, in a sense, he was also the lucky one who was "helped" by the Goddess of Light.

Gu Shenxin said it was no wonder, when he was in Nagano earlier, he could see Gu Nanfeng staring at Yuan Tian from time to time in a daze.

It turned out that the guy was missing Meng Xizhou from Xizhou.

"I can promise you about sending the letter, but I have a request."

Gu Shen spoke slowly.

He had already understood the purpose of the goddess's visit, so he was no longer nervous, and his tone became more relaxed.

"But it's okay to say." Meng Xizhou smiled: "I asked Mr. to do something, so naturally I have to pay."

This goddess of light seems to be very magnanimous.

But Gu Shen didn't want to "extort reward" from Meng Xizhou, firstly because he and Meng Xizhou had a good relationship now, and secondly because...Gu Nanfeng was not only Meng Xizhou's lover, but also one of his few close friends.

Gu Shen couldn't do this kind of thing.

"My request is not a reward."

Gu Shen shook his head, his expression became serious: "I want to know about that 'Bright Apostle's Token'."

This statement came out.

Meng Xizhou was slightly taken aback.

She was silent for a few seconds, as if she was thinking about how to respond... and finally she just said softly: "Mr. Gu, it seems that you have a really good relationship with Nanfeng, and you actually know about the 'Apostle of Light'."

This matter is top secret.

Logically speaking, apart from Song Ci himself, the only ones who knew about Song Ci's true apostle status should be her, Gu Nanfeng, and the Lord God of Guangming City.

"That's a long story."

Gu Shen did not explain in detail, but gently reminded: "Don't forget, my relationship with the crow."

"I see……"

Meng Xizhou was very smart and knew everything. She didn't ask any more questions, but said frankly, "That's right. I helped Gu Nanfeng obtain this token of the Light Apostle."

really……

Gu Shen sighed inwardly.

In this way, it all makes sense. When Gu Nanfeng left Beizhou, he did not return to Dongzhou at the first time, but went to Xizhou to seek the "Apostle's token". Such an illusory goal, if there is no Goddess to guide him, I am afraid it will not be possible at all. Impossible to complete.

"Any questions?"

Meng Xizhou raised his eyebrows and asked: "This is not such a shameful secret, at least for Xizhou... it is like this."

indeed.

Xizhou has never had to lie to others!

Because the power of the God of Light is still strong, it can still protect the City of Light.

Instead, it was Dongzhou back then who needed to borrow such a "token" to create the illusion that Gu Changzhi was still alive.

"Lord God and Mr. Gu Changzhi were mentors and apprentices back then, and they had a very deep friendship..." Meng Xizhou said softly: "I asked for this 'token' after repeated pleadings, and I have never mentioned it to anyone since then." , keep it a secret from everyone."

Gu Shen's expression was a little moved.

Meng Xizhou... did not disappoint Gu Nanfeng.

Repenting the marriage, borrowing tokens, confinement in Guangming City... She has paid a lot.

Even Chu Ling, who was watching from the spiritual sea, couldn't help but said: "I think...you must help deliver this letter."

After talking now, her impression of Meng Xizhou has changed a lot.

"I... have no problem."

Gu Shen said seriously: "Leave that letter to me, and I will send it to Nanfeng."

Meng Xizhou took out a gold-plated envelope.

In the past, the carriages and horses were very slow, and the letters were very long, but now... under the [Deep Sea] link, if you want to meet someone, even if you are thousands of miles away, you can meet in just a few seconds.

But for the Goddess of Light, the person she wants to see is farther away than the horizon.

The highest seat holds the supreme authority in [Deep Sea].

What she wanted to say and what she left behind would be clearly investigated.

In this case, only "writing a letter"...is the safest option.

"Nanfeng greets you personally."

On Meng Xizhou's envelope, these four characters were written in beautiful small seal script. Gu Shen carefully folded it, put it inside the lapel of his clothes, and carried it with him... Thinking about it carefully, he seems to have really become a postman who specializes in delivering letters , came to Beizhou, sent one, and then received another one, but Mr. Gu Changzhi specially told him to leave him the "third letter" from his old teacher. In front of the seat of God.

Otherwise, the "Goddess of Light" in front of me would be an excellent messenger.

"Thank you, Mr. Gu."

After seeing Gu Shen accept the letter, Meng Xizhou thanked him softly.

Suddenly, she spoke again.

"By the way... there is one more thing."

Accompanied by these words, Meng Xizhou looked into Gu Shen's eyes.

This time, the two looked at each other... A ray of light slowly rippled out of those pupils that were as clear as a lake.

"My elder brother, Meng Xiao, died in the Duolu River."

Meng Xizhou's voice was very soft. Her words didn't have any intentions. They were neither inquiries nor temptations. They just repeated the news that the whole Beizhou knew in a slow tone.

Bright City has issued an obituary.

The Holy Inquisitor had set off overnight and rushed to the central city.

It's just that the rippling light in her eyes seems to be able to point directly to people's hearts.

"..."

Gu Shen was silent for a few seconds, then calmly said: "It seems that this is no longer a secret."

The first time this ray of gaze came, he wanted to dodge subconsciously...but then he realized the mistake of this thought, if he really had nothing to do with this matter, then he should learn to be calm.

Just like the lake in Meng Xizhou's eyes.

Ultimate calm.

After a while, Gu Shen asked back: "So?"

"You're right...it's no longer a secret. Everyone knows that Meng Xiao is dead."

Meng Xizhou smiled lightly.

Her voice was a little sad and pitiful, as if she was lamenting and reminiscing about the loss of this life, but it was just lamenting and reminiscing.

"It's just that he is the Blessed Son of the City of Light after all, and the Holy Inquisitors cannot allow the death of the Blessed Son... just like they cannot allow the existence of 'light' and be shaken by darkness."

"Jia Wei, the Great Knight of the City of Light, is a Holy Inquisitor with strong spiritual power."

Meng Xizhou stared at Gu Shen, and said word by word: "If you are being targeted, just like just now, don't dodge, don't panic... This is Beizhou, the Holy Inquisitor wants to do something, and needs evidence."

What is this?
Is this another test?

Gu Shen said slowly: "Thank you, Miss Meng, for reminding me, it's just that Gu doesn't quite understand."

"very good."

Meng Xizhou nodded, quite satisfied with the answer.

She didn't say anything more, and turned to leave.

"Miss Meng...forgive me for a question." At this moment, Gu Shen stopped calling her.

Meng Xizhou stopped slightly.

"Meng Xiao is your elder brother...he died in a disaster, why didn't I see much sadness on your face?" Gu Shen thought for a few seconds, and asked his question in a different way .

His real question is, why does Meng Xizhou remind himself so much?
With the previous words, it means that Meng Xizhou also knows... Among the murderers who killed Meng Xiao, he is the most "suspected" one.

"Maybe it's because...I'm really not that sad about his death."

Meng Xizhou's answer was unexpected.

She said softly: "I know my elder brother very well. He is not a person who will live to the end of his life... In fact, everything is like this. Fate has marked the price of everything in secret. Everyone must pay for' What he did', he paid the price. And this time, he overestimated his abilities, so... he died."

"If there is anything sad...then it should be that I came a step late and didn't stop him."

Chu Ling searched the Beizhou itinerary of the Goddess of Light in the database.

She did arrive on the day the Disaster quest started.

And...she also made a request to see Meng Xiao, but unfortunately she came a bit late and did not see her for the last time.

So, in fact, that day, she wanted to stop Meng Xiao from "sending him to death".

After hearing the words, Gu Shen fell into silence.

What the goddess said sounds reasonable.

It's just...it was her elder brother who died.

So these words sounded a little "indifferent".

He watched Meng Xizhou go away with a complicated expression.

This woman made him feel a little jealous.

On the one hand, Meng Xizhou is an "infatuated person" who has devoted countless efforts to Gu Nanfeng, and on the other hand, she seems to be a "prophet" who has seen through the cause and effect of fate. Even the death of her brother cannot touch the heartstrings.

In fact, Gu Shen can probably guess why Meng Xizhou is not sad.

It's just that Meng Xiao's death didn't touch her "bottom line".

If we say that everyone has an unshakable "bottom line" in their hearts.

So what is Meng Xizhou's "bottom line"?
It looks... It seems to be the world shrouded in light, and the common people connected by the deep sea.

For such a character... Gu Shen is both in awe and fear. If one day Meng Xizhou takes charge of Beizhou Guangming and her "Pluto identity" is completely exposed, this woman will probably not hesitate.

There is a high probability that she will draw out the sharp sword in its sheath, and pierce and shatter Hades' chest.

Just like the previous bright one.

Do what she thinks is right.

Banish the darkness.
