Bulwark of Light

Chapter 970 Dark Game
"What you have to do is very simple, just help me change blood."

The Great Elder smiled and said, "If you think this kind of thing is dirty and you don't want to touch it...you can also refuse."

"Do not."

Yao Jin said softly: "My hands have already been stained with countless blood, how can I feel that your blood is dirty?"

"It's not my blood that's dirty, but Pluto's 'disaster'."

The Great Elder said gently: "Although the cabin can complete blood transfusion and blood draw by itself...but the blood bank at the terminal needs to be replaced manually. I will only hand over this kind of thing to the most trusted person."

It used to be Yuan Yang.

And now...he chose Yao Jin.

……

……

Transfusion is not complicated.

Soon, fresh blood was injected into the aging body, and the face of the Great Elder improved visibly to the naked eye. He opened his eyes, and slowly sat up from the barrier of light. The old blood stained with disaster was sent to the body. Let's go, there are still several cabins at the end of the blood bank, and there are dead [undead] in them. The last savings of the blood bank have been used up, and their skin bags are containers for disasters. This time the blood transfusion is over, and the bodies of these people will be permanently stored.

"The operation of this world conforms to two sets of laws."

"One set is on the table... For example, the apostles of the Seven Gods must not cross the border, and the five continents help each other. If there is an unknown crisis outside the five continents, such as [Ice Sea Ruins], according to the agreement, everyone needs to contribute. "

"The set of rules on the table is jointly formulated by the strong, and they agree to abide by each other."

"The other set of rules is placed in the dark."

Yao Jin retreated to the world beyond the screen.

The Great Elder stood in the darkness to bathe and change clothes.

His voice was still old, but it was no longer trembling. After the blood of the [Undead] was injected, his whole body regained vitality, and even his withered and white hair became more black.

"Many of the things we have agreed to look the same in the light and another in the dark."

"For example, spreading faith across the five continents."

"The root cause of the failure of the No. [-] dark line is that Yuan Yang exposed the secrets that should have been kept in the dark to the light."

"The lesson of this matter is not that... the temple cannot do dark things."

The Great Elder slowly walked out of the darkness, looked at Yao Jin, and seriously admonished: "Since there are two sets of rules in this world, then we should abide by the rules... Don't be fooled by games that can only be played in the dark." The light shines."

Yao Jin was thoughtful.

He murmured, "Like... this 'assassination'?"

"Yes."

The Great Elder said calmly: "Wu Tuo's betrayal and escape are in line with the 'dark law' I just mentioned. You have done a good job in this matter. From the beginning to the end, there is no evidence on the table that can prove that Wu Tuo's matter is related to Xizhou. Related. If we don't let Wu Tuo show up, if Dongzhou wants to solve it, he must abide by the rules of the game in the dark."

Yao Jin thought for a while and said, "I understand."

"The next time Gu Nanfeng arrives in Guangming City, he will definitely follow up on last night's assassination..."

The elder said slowly: "As long as we hide Wu Tuo well, then the Gu family has nothing to say."

The two left the attic together.

The Gu family mission has arrived in Guangming City, the Holy Ceremony is being held, countless people are parading, and the carnival of believers will last for a whole month.

The cloud boat airship skimmed over Guangming City.

A large number of security personnel are maintaining order.

This is a seemingly chaotic "celebration", but in fact everything is under the control of the City of Light.

The Great Elder led Yao Jin and stood at the entrance of the East City of Guangming City, quietly welcoming the mission...

However, everything that happened next was different from what he expected.

When Gu Nanfeng entered the city, he didn't ask anything about the "assassination" last night. After the elder took the initiative to apologize, the young master of the Gu family just hummed lightly and revealed it indifferently.

The Great Elder has prepared countless arguments to deal with the next mission of the Gu family.

But nothing happened.

This seemingly vigorous welcoming ceremony for entering the city was nothing ordinary.

There is no undercurrent at all.

What about turbulence?

Gu Nanfeng was not in the mood to talk along the way, even if he had a conversation with the Great Elder, he only dealt with a few perfunctory words. Now that the relationship between Xizhou and Dongzhou is not good, it is meaningless to bring up those old feelings.

The Great Elder Zeng and Rustybone were old friends.

But judging from the current situation, if the Great Elder really has a chance to meet Rustbone again, the other party is likely to come to Xizhou with the mighty army of the Fourth Legion in an energy boat.

The meeting ceremony ended quickly.

Gu Nanfeng found a remote courtyard in the temple and brought people to live in it... It took less than an hour from entering the city to finishing.

There was a sense of frustration in the Great Elder's heart for no reason.

He just used up the last blood of the [Undead], which means that his "active lifespan" has officially entered the countdown from today. If he can't find fresh spare blood, he will have to lie down again after a few days pass. Return to the life capsule.

And when he was thinking about why the Gu family was so abnormal...

A message came from Mu Xin who was in charge of guarding Xihaidu.

……

……

"When it was discovered...it had been dead for a long time."

In the small courtyard of Xihaidu.

The Great Elder, Yao Jin, and Mu Xin looked at the "serene face" corpse.

Yao Jin looked at his old friend in a daze.

He was thrown to Xihaidu to practice since he was a child, and he only had one friend, "Wu Tuo", but after the two grew up, he continued to guard the temple, while Wu Tuo was sent to Dongzhou as a dark child.

Just yesterday.

The guy was still alive and talking to himself.

And now, it is already a cold corpse...

Since guarding the secret prison, Yao Jin's hands were stained with blood, but only this time, he was stained with the blood of someone he cared about.

Utop... died because of himself.

"[Profiling] is useless, the man did not leave any evidence."

Mu Xin said hoarsely: "There are no images, no footprints, no traces... It's like a living ghost that came to Xihaidu silently and took away Wu Tuo's life. During this process, we didn't even listen A cry for help."

For a Tier [-] powerhouse, he couldn't even call for help.

What kind of horrible thing is this?

The Great Elder looked at Wu Tuo's body, remained silent for a long time, and said with an ugly expression, "[Red Phoenix Crossbow] was taken away."

"……Yes."

Mu Xin gritted his teeth and said, "I immediately used [Guangming Jian] to search for the mark of [Red Phoenix Crossbow], but I didn't get any results. What the hell, I can't even generate a little bit of induction!"

"No wonder... Gu Nanfeng didn't say a word."

The Great Elder reached out to support the wall, feeling a little dizzy.

Wu Tuo died, the news... Gu Nanfeng must have known about it!

This world does conform to two sets of laws. Guangming City chose the one hidden underground to pick up Wu Tuo.

The law of the shadows cannot be illuminated by light.

Now, Nagano is using this set of rules to retaliate, letting Guangming City suffer its own consequences.

With Wu Tuo's death, Guangming City couldn't make a statement, couldn't retaliate, and couldn't even raise a single word of doubt about the matter... because on the surface, they shouldn't be interested in such a number one figure as "Wu Tuo".

Yao Jin'an looked at the corpse quietly, and said after a long time, "This is the person behind the scenes I want to investigate."

He always knew.

The guy who played chess against him was not Gu Nanfeng.

"It's hard to find out the identity of the 'behind the scenes'. We only know that he came earlier than the Gu Family Mission."

Mu Xin said with a headache, "It's just that the temple has entertained too many extraordinary people these days. I'm afraid this person has been mixed in the crowd... Or he has been hiding his identity, and even the temple doesn't know that he has come."

It is impossible to determine the identity by searching the entry records.

"Being able to kill 'Uto' silently, at least has a title."

The Great Elder frowned and said, "There are only so many titles in Dongzhou, when did there become such a number one person?!"

Every title will be recorded by the council!

Their whereabouts and residence are also closely watched!

Wanting to conjure a title out of thin air is simply nonsense...

The most likely explanation is that Dongzhou has been conspiring to cultivate an extremely powerful "shadow".

Although it's ridiculous.

But this is the only explanation that the Great Elder can think of.

A title, quietly hiding in the city of light, without anyone noticing, just killed a fourth-order powerhouse who was under strict protection.

How ridiculous is this?
Once this news is spread, it is likely to cause panic in the temple.

"These days, don't go out!"

The Great Elder said in a deep voice: "Until the 'behind the scenes' is found out, maybe only the Guangming City is safe...Once you leave the city, you may be targeted. After the game last night, you have been exposed."

Yao Jin originally wanted to find out Dongzhou's "behind the scenes".

But last night, he set up an ambush, and he personally led people to arrest the murderer...

Instead let him surface.

In this way, he is in the light, and the other party is in the dark.

That guy chose to kill Wu Tuo while he was leading the Holy Inquisitor to Donggang. Thinking about it carefully, what happened to the Gu family mission was just a part of that guy's plan. He was delayed and couldn't return to Guangming City , This is the tragedy of Wu Tuo.

Mu Xin asked tremblingly: "Grand Elder, Wu Tuo... what should I do?"

"..."

The elder just shook his head.

How to do?
There is nothing to do, the person is dead, and everything is over.

Seeing the elder's reaction, Yao Jin came to Wu Tuo's side silently, and closed his eyes for his only friend.

The spiritual sea is broken.

Wu Tuo's pupils have been dilated.

Although his face was peaceful at the moment, he actually died in an ugly way... Looking at this broken face, Yao Jin suddenly felt a little sad.

More unwilling than sad.

He really lost this round, but he is still alive, so this round is not over.

At this moment, Yao Jin heard his inner voice again.

"Want to gamble?"

The unknown person hiding in the dark seemed to have a powerful magic power, attracting him to check it out.

From the moment you guessed the existence of the other party.

Yao Jin began to try to find out the trajectory of that person... This kind of magical power hit his heart directly, as if it was the guidance of fate, making him act uncontrollably.

People who have already taken the first step are often not willing to stop there.

Maybe take two more steps... to reach the finish line, and to unveil that person's veil?
Yao Jin knew that the best thing he could do at the moment was to stay calm.

He is no longer An Zi, no longer a shadow.

As long as you stand under the sunshine of Guangming City, you can't do anything to him...

In the realm of the gods, the sun was shining fiercely, and everything appeared.

No matter what the other party wants to do, as long as he stands in the light, he will be invincible.

But he didn't want it to end like this.

Yao Jin raised his head and said to the Great Elder, "I want to try and get that person out."
