Light Barrier

Chapter 394

Chu Ling told her dream and waved her hand to summon specific pictures.

Rather than saying that this is a dream, it is better to say that this is a photo captured by the 【Celestial Eye】.

The logic of this picture is very rigorous, like a scene shot from a thousand meters above the ground... The square city walls are mottled and faded, and inside are dilapidated and crude streets, and crowds of people.

These people are wearing white linen robes...

Moreover, most of them wore uniform badges on their shoulders, which Gu Shen was very familiar with.

Trident.

"Is this Nanzhou?"

Gu Shen recognized the meaning of the badge logo at a glance... These people were all believers of the Storm God's Throne.

"yes."

Chu Ling nodded slowly.

The last guidance scene she saw in her dream... was a pale snowfield with no information at all, just a silvery white field. She needed to use a prayer spell to find the specific location.

But this time the picture is completely different. The badge alone provides a lot of information.

In Nanzhou, the Storm God Seat believers gathered in such a small town.

The database started running immediately... Chu Ling began to search for the location corresponding to this photo.

Gu Shen's expression was a little complicated.

He breathed a long sigh of relief.

It takes no effort to get there even if you wear iron shoes.

I was still having a headache, how to start the ancient literature meeting, or how to prepare for the next "melee situation"... Chu Ling's dream of guidance arrived in time, which greatly relieved his pressure.

The reason why the 【Light Searching】 project was started in the first place was because Chu Ling's dreams no longer appeared.

Lost guidance.

There is no way the prayer technique can help Gu Shen find the 【Bronze Man Lamp】.

We can only rely on the stupidest method... In Chu Ling's words, exhaustive methods.

But things are different now.

There are images of dreams, and even if the database cannot find the answer, you can still use the prayer spell to pay the price and seek guidance!

soon.

Gu Shen called up a temporarily generated case file report and the corresponding image simulation results in front of him. An aerial picture with a similarity of 98% was presented in front of him. This was the same ancient city as in Chu Ling's dream, and A large number of believers wearing trident emblems.

"Nanzhou...inland state, Xiyin City."

...

...

Lu Nanzhi returned to the 【Conference Room】.

She took a deep breath, and before Gu Shen could speak, she took the first step and expressed the result of her deep thinking.

"Judging from the current situation, mobilizing members of the Ancient Literature Society to search... is not the best choice. The time is not mature enough. The identities of 【Key] and [Source Code] alone are not enough to win everyone's confidence. .My suggestion is to let Huazhi join the [Light Hunting】 project, scatter enough money, and then wait for others to join. The more people join, the faster the search for lights will be...but the final result is It will also become very troublesome. What we need to plan is how to bring back the real bronze lamp among many opponents."

This is a very long sentence.

It can be seen that during the time she left, Madam thought about it seriously for a long time.

After Gu Shen listened quietly, he placed a photo of a spiritual image on the long table and slowly pushed it over.

Lu Nanzhi was stunned.

She looked at the photo that slid in front of her... looking a little confused.

A strange city.

"The situation has changed." Gu Shen smiled bitterly, held his forehead and whispered softly: "I think... I should have found the location of the last light."

Lu Nanzhi squinted her eyes and looked at the photo carefully.

"This is......"

"Nanzhou, an inland state, Xiyin City." Gu Shen said, "The last lamp is right here."

Mrs. Lu glanced at Gu Shen with a strange expression.

This kid...

It should only take half an hour to disconnect the link myself.

I worked hard to come up with a simple plan, and when I came back, I found everything... It was obvious that these plans could be scrapped.

But how did you find this?

"Thanks to some indescribable mysterious power." Gu Shen said slowly: "I don't know where the thing is, but I can be sure... the thing is in Xiyin City."

An unspeakable mysterious power?

Madam understood immediately and showed a meaningful expression... Divination!@@@@

Although she was in Dadu, she was always paying attention to Gu Shen's deeds in the Snow Forbidden City... When the news that Gu Shen was accepted as a disciple by Master Qianye reached Huazhi, it really shocked Madam.

Heir of divination.

This is an extremely impressive status.

There are only two "divination masters" in the entire Five Continents, and this number is even rarer than the so-called "S-class".

Gu Shen could see the reason for Madam's strange expression at a glance, but he didn't explain anything.

Divination is divination.

Gu Shen dug out the big white robe and fell into a long silence.

The plane landed with a roar.

Cui Zhongcheng closed the book, stretched out a hand, looked directly into Gu Shen's eyes, and said seriously: "I wish you a good harvest."

...

...

The climate of Siganjo is completely opposite to that of Nagano.

This place is located in the tropics and is extremely hot. The big white robes worn by passers-by are actually used to protect themselves from the heat... However, the extreme climate has no effect on extraordinary people. They only need to circulate the breath of spring to feel cool all over their bodies.

Gu Shen successfully entered Xiyin City using the identity of "Amir". Cui Zhongcheng prepared a "luxury hotel" for him in advance. Judging from Chu Ling's overhead shot, the environment in this old Nanzhou city is very harsh. It should be something like a slum.

Gu Shen refused many children's requests to carry bags along the way. He walked around Xiyin City alone. Passing through the streets, he saw many beggars in scanty clothes. These people were crowded under the bridge. A mat is spread out.

Maybe this is their home.

Is there a "hotel" in such a place?

Unexpectedly, just across a river, the city center of Xiyin was very prosperous, with high-rise buildings rising from the ground, and passers-by wearing gold and silver jewelry.

There really is a hotel here, and it's very luxurious.

After nightfall, Gu Shen stood on the top floor and overlooked the scene outside the window... This side of the Tin Galaxy was splendid and prosperous with dim lights, while the other side of the river was bleak and muddy, with poverty and struggle.

He remembered what Cui Zhongcheng said about "balancing"... Before today, when I was in Dongzhou, I didn't know that Nanzhou looked like this. The real life in Xiyin City might have been uploaded to the 【Deep Sea】 Network It may be successful ten thousand times, but it may not be truly passed on even once.

And the most terrifying thing is——

At both ends of the message, one end thinks that it has really sent it out, and the other end thinks that it has really received it.

Everyone lives in their own "ideal land".

Mr. Alan Turing's original intention of creating 【Deep Sea] was to create a perfect "Utopia", but [Deep Sea】 is using another way to reach the end...

If utopia does not exist.

It cannot be manufactured either.

Then you only need to change people's perception of it... and the purpose can be achieved.

"Sorry...Actually, I only learned about 'balancing' today."

Chu Ling's voice came from his mind.

There was apology in her voice.

"Why do you apologize to me?" Gu Shen smiled.

He stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the unfamiliar Xiyin City. He knew that this scene was also introduced into Chu Ling's eyes at this moment.

The two of them share "one pair of eyes".

"The operating logic of 【Deep Sea] is very complex, and [source code】 is only one part of it... This is why I can only use part of the permissions." Chu Ling said softly: "About the processing, transmission, and presentation of information, in In the beginning, it wasn’t that complicated... Maybe it was with upgrading and evolution that the so-called ‘balancing’ appeared.”

The meaning of balancing is to protect information equality in the world.

The means of protection is essentially deception.

Just like... no one would have thought that the true meaning of the existence of 【Deep Sea] is to spiritually link extraordinary beings to build a pure spiritual world [Deep Water Zone】.

"This choice may have a very bad impact on the human world..." Chu Ling said slowly.

"They're all the same." Gu Shen interrupted her.

He said calmly: "What extraordinary beings do... is also deception. Maybe there is never 'true' or 'false'. What we see, what we believe, and what is real... are three things."

Chu Ling was stunned.

"Belief is existence, existence is belief...or, it doesn't exist at all."

Gu Shen closed the curtains again.

He stopped looking at the outside world and said softly: "At least... balancing provides a possibility for the world."

...

...

It is not an easy task to find an ordinary antique that does not contain extraordinary power in Xiyin City.

There are a total of seven territories, twenty-two states, and one central jurisdiction in Nanzhou, and Xiyin is among the top three "trade cities", with hundreds of thousands of goods circulating here every day.

Antiques...maybe not that many in number, but they are countless.

Gu Shen knew that the object he was looking for may not necessarily appear in the bustling central area, but would also most likely appear in the muddy slums on the other side of the Tin Galaxy. Most importantly, based on his last experience in the snowfield.

Rush to Xiyin City as soon as possible according to the instructions. At this time, you can basically ensure that the 【object】 is still in the city.

But after a while... I won't be able to tell for sure.

There is a possibility of 【Lamp of Wrath】 being taken away by others.

Gu Shen must act quickly.

In this case, if you want to find an "antique", you can't help but use the 【money ability】. This is the fastest and most useful method, and there is no other way... Gu Shen paid a small advance payment, Twenty children and young people from the slums were found and asked to carefully search for relevant information about lamps, and they were promised follow-up rewards.

For the residents of these slums, Gu Shen's "advance payment" is already quite generous.

Obviously, this is a generous boss!

It's just that Gu Shen's conditions for paying subsequent remuneration are very strict, requiring that the news cannot be spread outside, and that the search for antique lamps can only be done by themselves, because he will only pay the remuneration to one person in the end... In this way, it will be eliminated The possibility of large-scale delivery of messages.

These twenty people thought they were the lucky ones. After receiving the advance payment, they searched desperately for news about the lamp.

After doing all this, Gu Shen came to an auction house in the central area of ​​Xiyin City... According to the information provided by Cui Zhongcheng, this Holy Elephant Auction House is the largest and most authoritative auction house in Xiyin City, and also the largest auction house in Xiyin City. A favorite place for many wealthy people to spend their money.

The second clue to find the "lamp" is related to this auction house.
