Bulwark of Light

Chapter 96 Business (Two in One)

"November 11th, Yin, the second trial of the deep water area has passed, and the difficulty of the third trial is not too big... Although there are twists and turns after arriving in Dadu, it is still smooth, I hope your side is also smooth .”

In Dadu's life, Gu Shen doesn't have much fun in which to entrust his spirit.

He records his life in the private world of the deep water.

Thinking back to the half a month since he joined the Tribunal, Gu Shen felt the urge to raise the middle finger to an irresponsible teacher more than once... After all, he was also a big man with the name of the Great Tribunal of Dongzhou, after he brought himself under his command. He didn't care about it, just dumped a deep sea extraordinary link to himself, and disappeared without a trace.

Is there such an unreliable teacher?
Both Senior Sister Luo and Senior Brother Zhong were out on missions, and Nan Jin didn't know where he went. Mr. Shu's lineage was indeed united, but they were divided as soon as they were united.

Regarding the awakening, development, and excavation of extraordinary power, you can only rely on yourself.

Fortunately, the four words of self-reliance have already been deeply embedded in Gu Shen's genes... It was like this when I was in the orphanage, and it was the same when I left Wulaoshan and went to Datang. Okay, but really do everything with the worst case scenario in mind, because no one will tell you the truth, you can only rely on yourself.

It seems to have sensed the master's emotions.

The blazing fire between the eyebrows suddenly jumped out, turning into a villain, holding one of Gu Shen's fingers, and shaking it carefully in a flattering way.

Gu Shen couldn't help laughing.

Is this to make yourself happy?
"The growth rate of this little guy... is really fast."

After swallowing the extraordinary source quality of Qushui, Zhihuo began to transform for the first time.

In the extraordinary world, everyone must follow some basic laws... For example, the source quality is conserved, and for example, the source quality that already has a master cannot be seized and absorbed.

But himself seems to be an accident.

The spiritual attributes possessed by Zhihuo seem to be different from the ordinary spiritual system... This is what Gu Shen felt when he caught the thin line between his wife's eyebrows.

What he didn't do in the ten layers of the deep sea, he did it himself.

There must be many peculiarities in this little flame that I haven't discovered.

There is another point worth noting.

Qushui's extraordinary source quality was supposed to return to the void after she died, but it was absorbed by herself, and she didn't show the slightest rejection reaction. This "trait" that violates the basic law is Gu Shen's decision to hide Chi The real reason for the fire ability... If the review team and the court know that they can absorb the essence of others through immersion, their attitude towards themselves will probably change a lot.

"Okay, don't worry." Gu Shen rubbed Xiao Huomiao and said, "I'm fine now... I've never been better."

Awakening to the extraordinary is a leap in the level of life.

Both the spirit and the body feel like they are "evolving".

"Except for one little trouble, it hasn't been resolved yet." Gu Shen murmured softly.

This trouble, of course, refers to the Long-term Foundation.

After arriving in Dadu, Gu Shen began to think about a question... If he hadn't awakened Blaze, then what attracted Mr. Shu and decided to include himself in the tribunal.

It all started with the light rail, the encounter with the A-009.

Then the question that follows is...the gang of Changjiu Foundation, based on what considerations, planned the fire so closely. I was just an ordinary person at that time. Is this assassination a coincidence?

Or... these are inevitable.

Gu Shen is more willing to believe the latter.

"Shi Li...maybe there is a clue."

He fell into deep thought. According to Cui Zhongzhong's information, the team leader of the fifth group of Chengxinhui Nantang in the assault department is about at the level of the fourth to fifth floor of the deep sea, which is obviously stronger than himself.

If the first three floors are for babies learning to walk.

Then there will be a qualitative change from the fourth floor...Even if there is a ruler of truth, I can't take this guy down, not to mention that Chengxinhui Nantang is the territory of that "Chen San" congressman.

Gu Shen has considered the possibility of "spiritual hypnosis". Although his current strength is weak, he has explored the psychic traits of Blazing Fire quite completely. If the other party is unprepared, he can directly perform spiritual immersion, and it is not without success. possibility... But unfortunately, the minds of long-term Foundation believers will be implanted with a self-destruct program.

Once the mind loses control, it will detonate on its own.

"My blaze is so special... Is it possible to clear it before the program starts?" A bold idea emerged in Gu Shen's mind, similar to pulling out a thin thread, this so-called self-destruct program is just a dormant spirit Just branding.

"In any case, we must first find an opportunity and try to get in touch with Shi Li."

In fact, Gu Shen was not so disappointed when he learned that the Changjiu Foundation had planted a self-destruct program in the minds of the chess pieces.

The long-term foundation's secrecy measures have become his only hopeful countermeasure.

Regardless of Shi Li's strength... Gu Shen is not prepared to follow Cui Zhongzhong's advice and let this dangerous guy who has exposed his identity live.

Although it is a small fish, it is still a fish after all.

Only those who have experienced assassination will understand this feeling. The assassination from the darkness, one after another, will never stop, and will not be completely over until the target dies.

If there must be one person to die.

Then, please die.

……

……

"Ah!"

In the dead of night, there are no people in the alleys.

While walking with his head down, Shi Li suddenly sneezed loudly.

He lowered his peaked cap and frowned. For some reason, a strange and ominous premonition emerged in his heart.

Shi Li looked back silently. He walked all the way without attracting anyone's attention. All he walked was in the dead corner of surveillance, and there was no one following him... Then this should be his illusion, and he walked a little further. Let's go, that is, the adult made an appointment to meet his residence. After leaving the remote alley, he came to an abandoned factory building in the old city. The dilapidated iron door was thin and peeled off. Unfortunately, today is a windy day.

The moon was dark and the wind was high, and there were crackling sounds on the surface of the iron gate.

He bent down, arched over the iron gate, and slowly came to the factory building. The moment he looked up, he was stunned.

A shotgun barrel burning faintly was pressed against his forehead. The person holding the gun was an old man dressed in cowboy clothes. He hardly exerted much force, but there was a palpitating pressure from the barrel, which pressed his hands. Lift up and lean against the wall.

"12-gauge, red-silver alloy bullet."

The man wrote lightly: "Don't move, or I'll blow your brain out with one shot."

Shi Li's expression was gloomy, and at this moment he finally understood where the sneeze just came from... It was really a friendly reminder from the goddess of fate to him that nothing good would happen next.

The veins in his brows bulged uncontrollably, the pressure of the big gun was too strong, he could almost hear the roar of the red silver under the blessing of extraordinary source quality... the bullets of strong logic materials will hit the blood in his body. The extraordinary source quality system causes irreversible damage.

Disorder meets order, often with only one survivor.

And even if he is the survivor, the fate that he finally meets will most likely be "out of control".

Although he doesn't care about dying or getting out of control... But this life has more important uses at present.

"Master Zhao, this is mine."

There was a light laugh from the workshop.

Except for a few load-bearing columns, there are almost no other decorations in this huge abandoned factory, so the two figures sitting ten meters apart in the open space are extremely eye-catching.

Zhao Qi waved his hand.

"Withdraw."

After hearing the words, the old cowboy man with a cigar in his mouth narrowed his eyes and slowly released the barrel of his gun.

The terrifying sense of oppression finally disappeared... Shi Li tilted his head and moved away in a timely manner, and moved forward silently. When he passed by, he still glanced at the shotgun with lingering fear.

What level of Transcendent is this old guy?The seventh floor, or the eighth floor?
The "Mr. Zhao" who was negotiating with his legs crossed was surrounded by several extraordinary people with different levels of aura, while the other side of the negotiation seemed a little lonely and thin.

There is only one person.

The face of the man who came to negotiate alone was shrouded in darkness and gloom. The shiny gun barrel and the flame of the pipe could not reveal his face. Except for Zhao Qi... no one knew who this man was.

Shi Li stood obediently behind that person, and explained bravely: "My lord, there is something I can't get away from... It took me a while."

"It's good to come."

However, this man's attitude was very gentle, he was not angry at all, he just smiled and waved his hand, signaling to back down.

"As ordered."

At this moment, all the uneasiness and apprehension in Shi Li's heart melted away, and he stepped back respectfully. There seemed to be a mountain in front of him, which was released by those high-level extraordinary people opposite the "negotiation table". The coercion... was completely blocked.

The man laughed softly: "Master Zhao, the casual contact between the two of us...is not a good thing."

"There is something urgent."

Zhao Qi said softly: "The spiritual imprint on Lu Nanzhi's body has been removed."

"... Oh?" ​​The man was still laughing, "Has any title-level spiritual superfan been to Dadu recently?"

"No." Zhao Qi said coldly: "That's why I came to you... You promised me earlier that once this brand is planted, no one will notice except the title. But the current situation , but not as you said."

"..."

The man's face shrouded in gloom also seemed to be lost in thought.

"Actually... removing the brand does not necessarily require title strength..."

After a moment of silence, he slowly smiled and said, "Generally speaking, only after passing the trial of the [-]th floor of the deep sea can a spiritual supernatural person undergo a qualitative change... The huge amount of spiritual power begins to be subtle, and in that Before, the abnormalities that the Psychic System could capture were limited. But in fact, there are always some gifted geniuses who are born with more subtle characteristics. The metropolitan area is so big, and there is such an exception. It also makes sense."

"I didn't come here to hear you explain why and why, and brag about geniuses and geniuses..."

Obviously, Zhao Qi was impatient, he said coldly: "Do you know how troublesome it is to plant a spiritual brand on that woman? That pair of earrings is the top A-level sealed item!"

Men showed the exact opposite attitude.

He listened to Zhao Qi's words with great interest, accepted the other party's anger calmly, and even stretched out two slender fingers from the palm folded on the upper thigh, and gently tapped the back of the palm of the other hand .

"It's because I believed your previous nonsense that the plan was flawless," Zhao Qi gritted his teeth, cold sweat gradually oozing from his forehead, and said, "Now that the mental imprint has been removed...she must start to doubt me."

In the metropolitan area, there are still many idiots who have the foolish idea that this woman can stand in a high position only because of her appearance, and relying on the power of the Zhao family... Only opponents who have fought against Madam know how scary this woman is.

For example... Zhao Qi.

This marriage that he could not resist was actually a "battlefield" dominated by Lu Nanzhi alone. In these years of marriage wars, he had suffered extremely disastrous losses. He had no right to speak or status. In the end, only the Zhao family was left. Such an empty name as an heir... Lu Nanzhi's performance won everyone's approval, especially the old man's.

"Master Zhao... don't belittle yourself."

The man who had been listening quietly, finally broke the silence at this moment.

He cheered up the other party earnestly, with a sincere tone, "You are the heir of the Zhao family, the only only son... That old man will not favor outsiders... right?"

As he was talking, he noticed that Zhao Qi's expression had changed, so he was forced to add the word "right" in the last comforting sentence.

"The original will...was annulled."

Zhao Qi said in a hoarse voice: "The new will has not been posted yet... This matter will soon be known by the entire metropolis."

The man sitting opposite opened his lips in surprise, forming an "o".

Even if the sky is falling, he was still shocked when he heard the news.

This is really unexpected. That Mr. Zhao... would actually make such a move. Although the new will has not been made, the abolition of the old will is already an obvious notice.

"That's really... bad."

He opened his mouth half in amazement and half in regret, but no matter how he heard it, he said in a high-pitched tone: "However, I still believe that the old man will not make the decision to change Zhao's surname... ...Young Master Zhao, there is no need to be too nervous."

"I can't let that woman go on like this..."

Zhao Qi took a deep breath and said calmly, "You need to help me. Otherwise we will die together."

"..."

Outright threat.

But the man still just smiled lightly and did not get angry: "Young master Zhao overestimates me, what I do is not helpful, and the only one who can deal with Lu Nanzhi is you. In fact, I It's just responsible for providing... the method."

Zhao Qi said calmly.

"The original brand is gone, what else can you do?"

"Two ways."

The man took out a black jade bead as if conjuring, and he chuckled softly: "The original brand was actually just a test in essence... Although Lu Nanzhi is strong-willed, she does not possess extraordinary abilities, so her mental power is limited. No matter how powerful the two earrings are, they are only foreign objects after all, and there will always be a time to take them off, since Mr. Zhao can plant a brand once, he can plant a second one."

Zhao Qi frowned.

"With the experience of last time, the 'spiritual imprint' planted this time can be bolder...not just to make Lu Nanzhi lose sleep, but to completely make this woman submit to you." The man said calmly: "This time The spiritual imprint is locked in the bead, and there is still only one chance, when Lu Nanzhi takes off the earrings and plants it again, the aloof Mrs. Dadu will obey Mr. Zhao's words from now on."

Zhao Qi took the black jade bead, examined it carefully, and asked in a low voice.

"What are the side effects?"

"Are there any side effects..."

The man responded calmly and calmly: "This time the spiritual brand will directly absorb the soul, the root seed person will be in a trance, and the reaction speed will become extremely slow... In a sense, she is indeed no longer a lady, because she Will slowly turn into a... idiot."

Zhao Qi was silent, he just accepted the black jade silently.

"Why... Mr. Zhao is worried, if Lu Nanzhi becomes an idiot, what will the Zhao family do in the future?" The man smiled and said, "The Zhao family is about to be taken away by Lu Nanzhi, and he still remembers the vain couple As for the love, you are really a good person with a bodhisattva heart. At that time, you will be a pauper with nothing."

"You don't need to remind me." Zhao Qi said coldly, "Is there another way?"

"The second method is actually simpler..."

The man took out a necklace and said indifferently: "This is an ordinary-looking necklace, whether it is mostly or Nagano, except for a very small number of extraordinary people with strange qualities, it is impossible for others to feel... this necklace The true inner meaning in it."

"Intrinsic?"

"The reason why we can have a pleasant conversation here is because our spirits are swimming in the void without any hindrance, so our torso can still receive the signal and be inspired by it..."

The man's voice rose, ignoring Zhao Qi's gloomy gaze, and began to talk about the obscure and boring interpretation to himself. His fingers tapped the back of his palm lightly, like a pianist obsessed with playing , "And if the spirit is cut off, the body will sink, and we will be exiled... No one knows where the spirit will go..."

"You mean...death?" Zhao Qi frowned to express his understanding.

"Oh...an interesting metaphor, but it's not accurate."

The man smiled, "You can understand it as falling asleep, falling asleep without a deadline... just like Gu Changzhi, everyone can only say that he is asleep, and no one dares to say that he is dead. This necklace In the book, there is such a power that can exile a person's spirit, of course, it is limited to ordinary people like Madam."

Zhao Qi took the necklace with great apprehension.

"how to use?"

"Let her put it on, just put it on... It only takes two to ten minutes, maybe a little longer, but it won't exceed an hour." The man seemed to see a beautiful picture, and sighed softly: "Tsk... Dadu's wife will fall into a peaceful sleep, like a wintering butterfly wrapped in a thick cocoon."

Zhao Qi stopped talking.

He thought with some headaches, this necklace is indeed pretty good-looking, and the material is barely exquisite, but how can Lu Nanzhi fall in love with it... It's just an ordinary necklace.

That woman's body was full of extremely high-quality Transcendent Sealed Artifacts.

The necklace that Lu Nanzhi has been wearing is the strongest protection that most people can choose. Even if they encounter a magnitude 12 earthquake, they can still protect themselves from harm.

"Put it on for her yourself. You are her husband, so she won't refuse... right?" The man smiled and urged, "Try it, it's better than nothing."

Zhao Qi didn't nod or shake his head.

He accepted the necklace, just like accepting the jade before. No one knew what choice this man who was driven into desperation would make next.

"there's one more thing."

He calmly said: "It's about the sincere meeting. Chen Jingtan was beaten up, and the business I got through was ruined, and I messed up this matter...Whether it's Cui Zhongzhong or the old man, they will only look down on me even more .I want to bring the business back, so I have to give Chen San an explanation. I can't handle this matter myself, so I need your help."

The man sighed, a little helpless.

"Young Master Zhao, it was agreed at the beginning. I am only responsible for planting a spiritual imprint for you to fix Madam." He rubbed his brows, and said slowly, "The last imprint was removed... There is nothing wrong with you coming here. The necklace and jade beads are my subsidies to you."

"But you mentioned something sincerely... What is this?"

After the last few words, the voice paused word by word. After landing, the air in the empty workshop suddenly swept up. There was an invisible air wave, which hit the old lime wall and the broken iron gate. In an instant, the wall and the iron sheet cracked. Zhang spider web.

It seemed that an ancient god had revived, and just opening his mouth, it was like a divine order, setting off a tornado.

The expressions of the Transcendents around Zhao Qi suddenly became serious.

When they looked at the man sitting upright in front of them, they felt that this thin and thin figure was like a mountain and abyss.

They all broke out in cold sweat.

Only then did they know why the other party dared to attend the meeting alone.

In a real fight... the opponent only needs one person, that's enough.

Interestingly, when several high-ranking transcendents were no longer calm, Zhao Qi was the most calm and composed.

"One is prosperous, and one is lost."

Zhao Qi spit out such a sentence lightly.

"They all say that I'm mud and can't support the wall, only you keep telling me not to underestimate myself..."

Zhao Qi laughed at himself: "Actually, I know that they are right. I am just a puddle of mud. Thank you for looking at me high and willing to help me."

He said lightly: "There is a word called 'sunk cost'... You have helped me so much, you don't want me to fall down here. Such a small threshold can't stop others, but I can't pass it. I can only ask you for help."

The storm swept.

The man sitting on the chair stared at Zhao Qi coldly.

"Help me, I'll help you. I don't care what Dadu will look like in the end, I only care about myself... Even if it's a puddle of mud, at least there must be a wall to cover myself." Zhao Qi smiled and said: " how do you feel?"

The Transcendents present all faintly felt palpitations.

The storm echoes.

The ancient god whispered.

"Zhao Qi...you really are an out-and-out bastard."

The man looked straight into those open and composed eyes, and after a long time, he uttered two words.

"Only this one time...a deal."
