Bulwark of Light

Chapter 620 The Holy Inquisitor Under the Night Sky (Part [-])
"Boom~~~"

The monstrous huge waves rolled and burst.

The traveler fell back into the [melting furnace] heavily, and the majestic flame wave was thrown hundreds of meters away. The incomplete waves slapped on the steel cliff, extinguished, and burned hot smoke.

"Chichichi..."

On the cliff, the originally lively environment was instantly silent.

A dead silence.

Those Beizhou dignitaries who were talking and laughing at Yan Yan looked ashen and ugly in every way, and a few people's legs were shaking like a sieve, and they couldn't stand up with support... It's not that they were too timid.

But the coercion of the "God" is too strong, even if the traveler doesn't even have a ray of spirit, just a momentary eye contact is enough to make the ordinary people kneel down!
"Now... do you still want to go down?"

The deputy director in a white coat walked out slowly with his hands in his pockets. There was no panic on his face. It must have been the "emergency" just now. Happened.

He calmly asked: "If there is any important person who wants to go down to 'watch closely', I can apply for permission, but the protective measures below are not as safe as here..."

This time.

No one proposed to go down to see it.

The dignitaries could no longer laugh. Their expressions were ashen. Knowing that they had lost face, several of them stood up and resigned and left... The rest of the research results were no longer read, and they just left the scene.

Go down and have a look?

If you look at it any further...you will lose all your face!
"Master Deputy Director... I have something to ask you."

On the other side, Lu Zhe took a deep breath and glanced at the underground furnace with lingering fear. After suppressing the shock in his heart, he slowly floated to the side of the deputy director.

The two went to the corner together.

Lu Zhe asked in a low voice, "Does it happen often like the situation just now?"

After hearing the words, the deputy director thought for a while.

He glanced at Lu Zhe from the corner of his eye, then at Fisher with the fish tank above his head, and Zhong Yuan, the short blonde.

If you guessed correctly, these three should be the three strongest captains in the restart mission.

in the crisis just now.

The three of them have the fastest reaction speed and the most courage!
Faced with the impact and coercion brought by the "traveler", these three captains dared to stand up!

"Do not……"

The deputy director said meaningfully: "In fact, the traveler has stabilized a lot these two days. He just struggled a few times when he was thrown into the [melting furnace] at the beginning... We were ready Prepared for a long-term battle, but he failed to attack the [melting furnace] several times, so he curled up to resist. That's why tonight's dinner show was held."

Lu Zhe nodded, expressing his understanding.

If "Traveler" is extremely unstable, it is estimated that the underground research institute will not send out invitations.

"That's weird..."

Lu Zhe murmured: "Why do I feel that when the traveler fell, he seemed to be smiling?"

"laugh?"

The deputy director was stunned.

When the "Traveler" jumped out of the magma, a lot of hot fog was set off. At that time, he was in the observation post, far away from the steel cliff, and all the [Sky Eyes] were blocked by the hot fog... As for the "eye contact", everyone except the captain A super strong man had the guts to set his sights on the "traveler", and everyone without exception was so frightened that they fell down.

This news is a bit pervasive.

"Captain Lu, what you mean is that the traveler smiled...isn't that right?"

Just imagining that bronze face covered in blood and fire, showing a smile, the deputy director felt hairy in his heart, so he asked carefully to confirm.

"Yes."

Lu Zhe's voice was not sure: "It's also possible... I misread it?"

He felt that this was probably his own illusion.

"In any case, attention should be paid."

Lu Zhe took a deep breath and said, "Please record this matter in a file and report it...'Traveler' is a god-level creature with extremely high intelligence. Its current situation may not be as stable as imagined. The work is carried out, the research institute must be careful."

"Yes."

The deputy director said in a deep voice, "Thank you for reminding me."

Lu Zhe shook his head: "It's nothing... Thank you for your hard work."

……

……

On the steel cliff, the waves rolled.

Gu Shen slowly recovered from the absent-minded state.

He was in a trance for nearly a minute.

When "Traveler" jumped out of the furnace, the majestic heat wave almost overwhelmed him. Apart from the three captains, he was one of the Transcendents who stood at the front... There was another one, just It's Mu Wanqiu!
A terrifying thought came to his mind.

That was the jump the traveler made just now, for himself!
It "stared" at itself!
As soon as this idea first appeared, it became uncontrollable... It spread in Gu Shen's mind.

vaguely.

He actually felt a palpitation!
Think about it carefully... From the moment the old world broke through, the traveler's goal seemed to be clear!

Always be myself!
Gu Shen had a complex expression, looking at the tumbling flames in the furnace core, he quickly shook his head, thinking what happened to him?This big guy has obviously been put into the [melting furnace] by the queen, why am I still so worried, is it because I am afraid that travelers will jump out and eat me?
Running "Breath of Spring", Gu Shen calmed his heart.

Next to his ear, came a slightly trembling voice.

"So, you also... feel it?"

That was Mu Wanqiu's voice.

In the shock just now, Mu Wanqiu, like Gu Shen, was almost in the front position!
Gu Shen moved his head slightly, and saw Mu Wanqiu with the same pale expression. The latter transmitted his voice through spirit, and his voice sounded hoarse: "I think... I seem to be targeted by that thing."

"..."

Gu Shen was silent for two seconds, then calmly said, "Don't worry, he won't come out."

Travelers really can't get out.

This guy, if the real target is himself, then he has a great ability, and he should have displayed it in the disaster situation long ago.

Now being thrown into the [melting furnace] is truly "never turning back"!
"Yes……"

After experiencing the shock just now, Mu Wanqiu was in a trance, but she soon regained her composure, and asked in confusion, "I don't understand, is this an illusion, or... is he really after us?"

The traveler focused on Pluto, as well as the superhuman who was tainted with Pluto's aura.

This was the answer that immediately came to Gu Shen's mind.

But... he thought about it, and felt that something was wrong.

It is reasonable for the traveler to stare at him. After all, he is in charge of the underworld fire, and he is the same successor as the "former Hades" who deceived the ancient humans back then... But it really shouldn't be for Mu Wanqiu. After all, he has not yet accepted the power of Minghuo, he is just walking with himself.

The picture of Styx resurfaced in his mind.

Scenes flow backwards.

Gu Shen recalled the freeze-frame picture of the traveler leaning over and staring at himself——

This guy.

"Smile"... more than once.

In the Hades earlier, it showed a familiar smile!

So is there a possibility that its "laugh" is not because of seeing himself or Mu Wanqiu at all.

But because...

I saw the "black gem" inlaid on the stone carving of the traveler!
At this moment, Gu Shen connected all the doubts and perplexities buried deep in his heart when he was exploring the disaster situation, and got a certain thoughtful guess——

In transactions between gods, there must always be a "token".

And this black gem is the token!
On the one hand, it gathers the power of Hades, and on the other hand, it stores the traveler's spiritual thoughts.

After the transaction was completed, this black gemstone was inlaid on the statue of the god. As a balance for the transaction, the traveler could use the gemstone to watch the Hades, and the Hades could use the gemstone to control the ruins.

In fact, both parties to the transaction have ulterior motives.

The traveler's original plan was to rely on the power of the god statue to destroy the hall and kill all the dead souls raised by Hades. They not only completed the descent, but also realized the cleaning and killing... The biggest reliance they can rely on is this statue between the eyebrows The god statue inlaid with black stones is not only a bargaining chip, but also the clearest coordinates that the traveler family can get in the [Old World]!
Thinking of this, Gu Shen's back was dripping with cold sweat.

In this way...the spiritual toxins that Pluto hid in the "Black Stone" were not aimed at targeting outsiders at all?
It's aimed at... the travelers after the arrival!
He could almost imagine the scene after the smooth implementation of the plans of both sides - the arrival of the traveler, the emptiness of the Underworld, countless dead souls were swept away by the statues, and then a large number of bone-winged creatures filled the entire calamity.

Just when the traveler is about to rush out of the river Styx.

The "river poison" left by Pluto will explode rapidly... On the brow of this god statue, Pluto planted the most fatal blow, and all those who entered the game will die!
That black gem, which symbolizes the source of Styx's spiritual toxin... was now being collected by Gu Shen in his "Pure Land Domain".

If nothing unexpected happens.

There is still a ray of the traveler's "spiritual sense", which is stinging into it!

Is this the reason why the traveler always "stares" at himself?

Gu Shen felt the "crazy" of both sides in this game.

It's a pity that in this fatal game, the most ruthless one is not the traveler.

But... Pluto!
……

……

After such a farce, the banquet hall and visit were disrupted.

The guests left one after another.

After all, no one knows when the traveler's next riot will happen...

The Underground Research Institute doesn't want to keep them either.

Everyone took the "Secret Stairway to the Center of the Earth" together, ascended together, and reached the top of the suspended building, where suspended airships were parked one after another. Today, they received an invitation letter, and those who can participate in the banquet are either rich or expensive.

Just when everyone was about to leave, there was a "bang"!
A dull explosion exploded suddenly above the night sky of Central City!

It's a firework.

Ride up the wind, go straight to the dome, burn everything at the highest point, and blow it up vigorously.

The scattered embers of the fireworks fell down one after another.

Fall into the night.

Fall back into silence.

The dignitaries of Beizhou, following the scattered fireworks ashes, looked away one by one. Only then did they realize... It turned out that someone was "waiting" on the roof of the suspended building.

A group of people stood silently in the dark night on the top floor of the suspended building.

A faint light radiated from their bodies, and the gray and white linen robes fluttered slowly in the evening wind.

The leader is wearing a red armor and holding a long sword in both hands.

City of Light, Holy Inquisitor.
