Light Barrier

Chapter 521

"Soaked in 'black silver', it shouldn't be able to stare at the real world anymore, right?"

Gu Shen looked at the ruler that was dyed from silver to jet black.

He didn't know what was going on inside the ruler, but after Black Silver wrapped the Ruler of Truth, he felt relieved from the bottom of his heart.

The deal with the devil is destined to be a long game.

Before he found the truth about Pluto's fall, he would try to minimize his conversations with the devil. That guy who lived in the darkness exuded a gloomy aura.

At the moment it looked like he had the upper hand.

But from the moment he entered the ruler, the scale of victory was already tilting to the other side.

The conversation just now was quite fruitful.

At least Gu Shen was sure of one thing.

That is that the Ruler of Truth cannot refuse its own spiritual link...

As long as "Black Silver" can block ruler's perception, he can firmly gain the upper hand in the next game!

During this period, he did not intend to use the ruler.

After doing this, Gu Shen left the room.

He went to the cemetery alone.

...

...

After finishing the 【Maze Mission】, Gu Shen had a doubt in his mind.

With the strength of Golden Spike Flower.

Those explorers who arrived at the labyrinth, without the strength of the top fourth-level extraordinary beings, could hardly leave alive... But Hong Zhong escaped and came back. According to the file, this guy's extraordinary state was probably at the eighth level of the deep sea.

How on earth did he do it?

Lin Lin, Zhong Yuan, and the members of the team on this mission... were not aware of the existence of "Golden Spike Flower", so they believed that Hong Zhong's survival was just a fluke!

But Gu Shen knew that it couldn't be a fluke!

This guy... either has a hidden secret or a special sealed item!

The bright moon is in the sky.

The Gubao, which had just ended a storm, looked particularly bright and clean under the silvery moonlight.

When the sentry on patrol saw Gu Shen, he did not stop him, but instead saluted respectfully.

Gu Shen entered the cemetery without any obstruction.

He came to Hong Zhong's tombstone.@@@@

Perhaps because of the heavy rain just now, some weeds have grown around the tombstone... Before the "spiritual toxin" broke out, this place was also used as a memorial place for "heroes". The Second Team of the Survey Corps visited the site more than once They sent people to talk and try to transport the body of the returnee Hong Zhong from the fortress back to the interior of Beizhou.

Thinking about it now, it makes people feel scared.

If this "spiritual toxin" breaks out inland... and spreads completely, then the situation will be serious.

By then, it would no longer be a problem that Gu Shen could solve.

Beizhou will probably spend a lot of manpower and material resources to solve this "disaster".

Gu Shen, on the other hand, will be forced to bear the fate and disaster caused by the "Golden Spike Flower" massacre. In other words... he may bear a lot of bad luck because of this man-made disaster.

Fortunately, Lin Lin stopped all this!

"Hello......"

Gu Shen ended his mental immersion in an instant, put away the pendant with his backhand, and looked back calmly.

A young man with blond hair who was not tall walked over slowly with his hands in his pockets.

Zhongyuan came to Hong Zhong's grave.

The captain of the second team looked a little tired. After fighting the storm, he had not had time to rest. At this moment, he looked at the dusty grave and the opened coffin. He said in a hoarse voice: "There should be some over there in Dongzhou." As the saying goes, "The dead are the most important"... Isn't it not good for you to just open his coffin?"

"This is the original source of the 'psychotoxin' outbreak. I am testing whether there are any residues of the psychotoxin."

Gu Shen's answer was impeccable: "If the mental toxins are not cleared away, then the second outbreak will be more harmful than the first... In this case, there is no saying that 'the dead are the most important'."

Zhong Yuan fell silent for a moment.

After a moment, he nodded, expressing his approval of Gu Shen's behavior.

It's just... what's buried here is, after all, a comrade who has fought with him for many years, a comrade who has been entrusted to his back several times.

Until now, he couldn't believe the report given by Yuan Yuansuhe... In his memory, Hong Zhong was not a selfish person who would kill his teammates.

But the reality is cruel——

The returning hero who discovered the oasis is the biggest fake news in Beizhou this year.

Hong Zhong killed his teammates and returned with intense mental toxins, concealing the truth about the 【Maze Mission】 and almost causing the entire Gubao Fortress to fall under the storm.

"Is there anything strange?" Zhong Yuan chuckled softly, "When I leave the fortress, I still want to take this guy away."

"Nothing unusual has been found yet." Gu Shen said calmly: "This body has been burned before, but it was not thorough enough. I suggest that it be burned completely to avoid future troubles. If it is just for commemoration, you can take away the ashes... "

He had just taken away Hong Zhong’s pendant.

Judging from the power contained in that sealed object, Hong Zhong most likely kept it a secret from everyone, but if the corpse was transported back to the inland and the Beizhou military conducted another round of testing... something might go wrong.

To be directly cremated on the grounds of eliminating "spiritual toxins" would never cause any further trouble to Gu Bao or Gu Shen.

Lin Lin could not refuse his proposal.

Zhong Yuan looked a little struggling.

"I burned it once before and left a complete corpse," he sighed softly and murmured: "It would be nice to take away the ashes...Before coming, I promised Lao Hong's relatives to take him back Hometown.”

Zhong Yuan knelt down and suddenly asked: "Brother Gu, do you feel that this corpse is not normal?"

"..."

Gu Shen stopped quietly and threw the question back: "What do you think is not normal?"

"It's normal that you can't tell that it was burned once. It dried up too quickly, and both the body and the spirit seemed to be swallowed up by something." Zhong Yuan said slowly: "Before burning, Lin Lin opened the coffin once, but In just a few days, Hong Zhong rotted away, leaving only a dry skeleton."

This is indeed unreasonable.

However... Gu Shen found the cross pendant on Hong Zhong's body. He knew that this guy's soul was not swallowed by something, but inhabited the pendant.

He continued to remain silent, waiting for the follow-up.

Zhong Yuan said meaningfully: "In the Dolu River disaster area, people infected by 【river poison】 are like this..."

The absolute main force of the second team of the Survey Corps, following Zhong Yuan, has just participated in the mission of conquering the Dolu River disaster!

This crusade against a super-large disaster is a major operation carefully planned by the Beizhou military!

More than one general-level figure was dispatched!

The information about the "Dolu River" is still blocked by the Beizhou military. Waizhou does not know the specific situation. They only know that this major battle has been won.

The blond man stood up and said softly: "The 'poison' in this guy's body is from the same source as the 'poison' in the Dolu River disaster."
