Bulwark of Light

Chapter 982 Deathrattle (At the beginning of the month!! Ask for a monthly pass!!)

Gu Nanfeng already knew about the existence of "evil ghosts".

The Dongzhou Fleet was able to escape from the black silver bombardment of [Ice Sea Ruins] because of the help of evil spirits——

It's just that he doesn't have a corresponding No. [-] person in his mind.

With Gu Nanfeng's identity and status, Dongzhou has nothing to do, which he doesn't know.

He knows every title in Dongzhou like the back of his hand.

If there is any "transcendent" who can hide from the Gu family's eyes and grow to this point silently, then it must be the work of the god seat.

Either Mr. Bai Shu.

Or... it's Pluto.

The "answer" that Xizhou Guangming Church can guess, in fact, he can also guess.

"..."

The evil ghost was silent for a few seconds. Instead of answering Gu Nanfeng's question, he asked calmly, "Why do you think I'm helping you?"

"I already know about [Ice Sea Ruins] and the assassination of Wu Tuo."

Gu Nanfeng said: "You stopped me because you didn't want me to die."

"I stopped you not just because I didn't want you to die."

The biggest headache for Gu Shen is dealing with acquaintances.

He was almost spotted by Bai Lu at the reception in Nagano before. Although the cloak of Shenyin can help him hide his aura of authority, his speaking habits and style of doing things cannot be changed all at once.

Talking with Gu Nanfeng requires more attention.

The young master of the Gu family has strong insight, so he deliberately changed his tone of voice and style of conversation.

Now that you choose to wear the "ghost face", you have to completely change your face.

He said word by word: "If you want to rescue 'Meng Xizhou', you can't be jailed today. I stopped you just because... I hope this mission will be successful."

"So you are indeed from Dongzhou."

Gu Nanfeng stared at the face of the evil spirit, and said in a low voice, "It's impossible for me not to know you, unless you belong to Mr. Bai Shu."

Gu Shen remained silent.

"Or...you are a member of Pluto."

Gu Nanfeng opened his mouth while staring at the eyes of the evil spirit opposite, trying to get some information from these pupils.

But he got nothing.

The evil ghost's eyes were as dark and deep as the sea, and there seemed to be a hint of a smile on them.

He couldn't figure out the true meaning of this smile...

The evil ghost's silence clearly seemed to be mocking, but Gu Nanfeng couldn't see the sarcasm in his pupils.

"Well, I can't guess who you are."

He shrugged and sighed softly: "If Mr. Bai Shu really cultivated a [Title], he shouldn't behave like this, at least he should be like Song Ci... As for Pluto, although this possibility is the greatest in my mind. But I can't believe that the descendants of Pluto dare to walk into this city of light."

Gu Shen wanted to laugh, but he held back.

Yes.

Who would have thought that Pluto himself would dare to visit Bright City in person?
If it wasn't for the [God's Hidden Cloak] to help him, he wouldn't even be able to believe it... This is indeed too absurd.

"It doesn't matter who I am, you will know about it later."

Gu Shen restrained his smile, and said slowly: "The important thing now is... I can help you save Meng Xizhou."

……

……

In the depths of the secret prison, the dark shadows are illuminated by the light of the [lantern], as bright as day.

The Great Elder, who gave up the trial of the Xinxin Pool, came here in a hurry. Because of his haste, his robes, which were as white as snow, were covered with dirt from the ground of the secret prison.

The heavy-armored servant stood far away at the end of the last secret prison.

Su Ye and Yao Jin stood beside the elder in silence.

"Senior brother..."

The Great Elder stared blankly at the figure sitting slumped on the ground.

Yuan Yang committed suicide.

This news is very abrupt, but...it is true.

He destroyed his own spiritual sea, thereby cutting off the last vitality. This kind of death trace cannot be disguised.

No one knew why Yuan Yang did this, or what he thought of before "dying". The corners of the lips of the second elder of the temple were still slightly upturned after death, as if he was smiling.

He seemed to know that it would not be long before the door of the secret prison would be opened.

And his body will be preserved completely until he meets his senior brother.

People in the world always think that the longer you live, the more numb you will be to "life and death".

But that's not the case.

The Great Elder has lived for many years, many years...the only one who grew old with him in the temple was Yuan Yang.

The longer you live, the lonelier you are.

Although Yuan Yang made a serious mistake in handling the incident of the Dongse family this time, in fact, the elder was not prepared to deal with his junior at all. The removal of the No. "Chess pieces", there are too many chess pieces in Guangming City, no matter how important these chess pieces are, they are just chess pieces after all.

Yuan Yang is different from chess pieces.

This is his junior brother.

Junior brother, there is only one.

The Great Elder silently looked at the body of his junior brother, his eyes were very sad.

This strong body, which was clearly "reborn", even made it difficult for the heart to beat at this moment. The bottom of his heart seemed to be hit by a bullet, and he felt a strong soreness, but he couldn't shed a single tear.

Either blood or tears.

It has long since dried up.

In this body, the only thing that belongs to him is this lingering thought, a spirit that may be extinguished at any time.

So he could only feel the sadness silently in his heart, but he couldn't squeeze a single tear.

"Big elder..."

Su Ye's voice was hoarse: "When I came to the secret prison, the second elder had already..."

"Ah."

The Great Elder raised his hand, signaling to Su Ye that there is no need to say any more.

He has lived for a long time and has experienced too much. He only needs to take a look at what happened in this secret prison to understand.

The great elder turned around slowly, and he looked at Yao Jin who was sitting in a wheelchair.

"Snapped."

A crisp slap sounded from the bottom of the secret prison.

One side of Yao Jin's cheek was swollen, he was knocked to the ground even with his wheelchair, and two of his teeth were knocked out, the heavy armored servants guarding the door of the secret prison on the last floor heard this sound, their hearts were filled with tears. It's chills.

No one dared to help.

It is true that Yao Jin is in charge of the secret prison.

But this power...was bestowed on him by the temple.

After this slap.

Whether Yao Jin still has the power to run the secret prison is uncertain.

"..."

Blood flowed down his chin and stained the snow-white teaching robe. Yao Jin refused Su Ye's support. Alone, he straightened the wheelchair silently and struggled to sit on it again.

"What about people?"

The Great Elder spoke softly, only asking these two words.

Su Ye narrowed his eyes, trying to figure out the amount of information contained in these two words.

"... didn't come." Yao Jin's voice was hoarse.

There was no smile on his face.

During the time when the door of the secret prison was opened, the alleyway was always calm and there was nothing unusual.

He laid out a net, waiting for Gu Nanfeng to step in.

but……

Gu Nanfeng did not come.

Or Gu Nanfeng has already come, but at the moment he is watching his jokes at the alley.

Yao Jin could never have imagined that after entering the secret prison, he would get the news of the "Second Elder's suicide". Nan Feng couldn't have stepped into this alley even if he had three heads and six arms.

Yao Jin, whose face was covered with blood, raised his head and looked at the Great Elder.

He still wants to say something.

It's not that he wants to quibble, nor does he want to beg for mercy... He just wants to say what he is going to do, so as to avoid the elder's misunderstanding, but when he saw those cold eyes, Yao Jin closed his eyes tightly. own mouth.

He knew that it was meaningless to say anything now.

The great elder waved his sleeves.

Su Ye immediately understood. He pushed the wheelchair with a complicated expression and took Yao Jin out of the last secret prison.

It was silent here, more so than ever.

……

……

The Great Elder opened the door of the second secret prison.

He looked at the goddess sitting in front of the black and silver stone wall, and said softly: "So... what happened?"

There are only two people left in this secret prison.

No one is aware of the conversation taking place at this moment.

Meng Xizhou turned his back to the elder.

This is the first time in six years that the door of her prison has been opened, and it is also the closest she has been to the outside world.

Meng Xizhou spit out two words lightly.

"suicide."

She didn't look back because she didn't want the Great Elder to see her face.

Trapped and locked in the secret prison for more than 2000 days and nights, she did not yield to anyone, and did not reveal a single bit of information about the holy book.

But after Yuan Yang's soft sigh, her rock-solid heart was still shaken.

Meng Xizhou thought that all of this was the plan of the temple.

Until this unplanned accident happened.

But she wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

"I knew it was suicide."

The elder said hoarsely, "Why did he commit suicide?"

Meng Xizhou smiled and asked back, "This question...don't you understand?"

The elder was silent for a long time.

He knew that his younger brother was very stubborn, if he decided to do something, he would not look back, even if he hit the south wall and his head was bloody, he would not regret it.

If one day the younger brother commits suicide.

Then he must have had this idea a long time ago.

Yuan Yang had long ago decided that when his life was about to reach its end, he would use "suicide" to end his life.

It's just what happened in this black and silver secret prison.

This is what the Great Elder was curious about.

He walked into the cage that trapped Yuan Yang, and sat down, not caring about the blood and dust on his white robe, just sitting where his junior brother had been sitting, and raised his head...

There is nothing here.

Empty.

Total darkness.

Then the Great Elder looked at his junior brother, and he saw the sunken mark on his forehead.

The Great Elder silently stretched out two fingers to touch the sunken part.

Yuan Yang's heart has collapsed.

But... the forehead position, there are still some broken spirits.

This is the last bit of "death language" he left to the world, to be precise, to himself.

After that ray of spirit was touched, a familiar voice came out from the collapsed heart.

"Brother, you are here."

The Great Elder closed his trembling eyes.

This was a gloomy nightmare, and he saw the familiar face of his junior and senior again while his mind was converging.

The last ray of broken spirit left by Yuan Yang, with a smile, said words of nostalgia and reminiscence.

The past of the temple many years ago.

Missionary tour east many years ago.

Because he has lived for too long, the elder has long buried these past events in his heart, and he does not want to mention them to outsiders, but Yuan Yang is the only exception.

Those who witnessed it back then have all died.

Now the younger brother is no exception.

The Great Elder suddenly felt tired like never before, and he seemed to understand why his junior brother chose to end his life in this way.

Whether it is the temple or him, they have traveled so far that they can't see the way they came when they turned around.

The companions of that year were buried long ago.

If Yuan Yang hadn't reminded him, he might have forgotten that the temple looked like this back then.

The end of this death sentence.

Yuan Yang left behind a sincere plea.

"Senior brother, I can't go on anymore, and I can't hide it anymore... Forgive my selfishness, I chose to take a step ahead on the final road."

"Leaving this place, I only feel relief, relief, and endless joy."

"It's just that I still have a little regret. I hope you can make it happen."

"I hope you can release Xiao Meng from the secret prison and give up the [Holy Book]."
