Light Barrier

Chapter 864

"Gu Shen...is dead."

Gu Nanfeng's words were a final conclusion.

These words echoed in the conference room, and Li Qingsui sat back in his chair in confusion.

Although several other important figures were in heavy moods, their years of cultivation and state of mind supported their moods, and they did not directly show emotions such as "collapse" at this moment.

There will be some content after the meeting, which is probably the advancement of the "convergence" plan.

Gu Shen is dead, but the merger will continue.

The five-continent pattern has been established, and cooperation between Nagano and Central City is indispensable.

But Li Qingsui didn't listen to these words much. She sat on the chair alone and waited for a long time. After a long time, the meeting ended... everyone in the meeting room left, and she was the only one left here.

"Qingsui."

Gao Tian, ​​who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, patiently accompanied the eldest lady. His mood was equally heavy. The news of Gu Shen's death was a bomb to Dongzhou, and no one could accept it...

"Uncle Gao..."

Li Qingsui slowly raised her head and murmured, "Gu Shen, is he really dead?"

...

...

Gu Nanfeng pushed the wheelchair. Since the Battle of the Cemetery, Mr. Gu's old physical illnesses have begun to break out one after another.

This old man who participated in the war against the Red Army was very strong and fierce when he was young.

But now I am old.

Whatever the years have given him, he will take back twice as much.

"I thought... I would never use something like a wheelchair in my life."

The two of them were walking in the ancient streets. Gu Qilin looked at the flow of people coming and going in the streets. On the side was the Ning River that ran through the Snow Forbidden City. The river reflected the bustling and noisy scene of the ancient city. It was autumn again. The atmosphere of this ancient city is slightly lonely.

Mr. Gu laughed at himself: "What a stupid idea... At that time, I thought I would never grow old."

Gu Nanfeng lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment, then said comfortingly: "Life, old age, illness and death are all the same for everyone, and the God's Throne is no exception... Moreover, the last person in the Gu family who used a wheelchair like this was Gu Lushen."

Gu Lushen is much younger than the old man.

"Is it?"

This sentence didn't really provide comfort.

Gu Qilin looked back slightly, looked at Gu Nanfeng, and said softly: "But you reminded me, everyone will die..."

Speaking of this, the old man's voice became hoarse and his eyes became much sadder.

Apparently he was thinking of the young man who disappeared into the sea of ​​ice.@@@@

The old man took out the wooden seal from his clothes and slowly rubbed it with his dry fingers.

The white-haired man gives the black-haired man a gift.

This is one of the greatest tragedies in the world.

Gu Qilin suddenly spoke: "When did Gu Shen leave the 'blood' in the Gu clan's ancestral hall?"

"Two years ago? Or maybe a year ago?"

After hearing this, Gu Nanfeng narrowed his eyes subconsciously, and soon spoke without changing his voice. He said in a calm tone: "I did this... It's normal that you don't have an impression. After all, when he first entered Nagano, he It hasn’t received as much attention as it does now.”

"......Um."

Gu Qilin's eyes still stayed on the wooden seal.

Gu Nanfeng took over the entire Gu family two years ago, and he has basically stopped intervening in all matters big and small.

In fact, his real "aging" is not reflected in his physical body and combat power.

But he is older.

My mind started to get tired for no apparent reason.

As early as more than 20 years ago, when Gu Changzhi achieved the Battle God Throne, Gu Qilin realized that he was "old".

The specific manifestation is that in the affairs of the Gu family, he can no longer make decisions as crisply as he did when he was young... Later, during the dispute between the old and new factions, he fought against Gu Lushen for eight years. , just to wait for Gu Nanfeng's growth.

"Gu Shen is a very good child."

The old man smiled softly, "He could have shined more brightly and let more people remember him."

Gu Nanfeng took a deep breath.

He had a lot to say.

But then...

He just raised his head, looked at the dead leaves flying in the Ning River, and uttered two words.

"yes."

...

...

"What?!"

"What did you say!!"

At the top of Huazhi, Lu Nanzhi angrily slapped the desk and stood up. This was the first time in the years since she took office that she could not control her emotions.

Finally, Lin Lin stood in front of the attic. The stairs on the first floor were surrounded by the flames of 【Dragon Annihilation】. The female regiment leader wearing a flame cloak had a complicated look on her face and stopped Lin Lin in person.

"I understand how you feel..."

Ziyu stood in front of the attic and said helplessly: "It's just that you are not allowed to go upstairs without His Majesty's permission."

"Aunt Wen, you can't stop me today."

Lin Lin's voice was cold and stern.

He raised his head, looked at the second floor of the attic, and said slowly: "I have the right to know the truth about the Sangzhou Cave."

Everything that happens in Central City is within the Queen's vision.

Lin Lin knew that his sister was watching him the first time he set foot here.

If she doesn't want to give herself the answer.

Then it is impossible to know the answer yourself.

And now, it's time for him to express his attitude!

Lin Lin walked towards the dragon's sea of ​​flames, and at the same time removed all his mental power and essence. He did not want to confront Aunt Wen... This scene made Ziyu extremely difficult, and she quickly raised her arms, wanting to proceed further. He was blocked, but Lin Lin had no intention of retreating.

Longyan burned his skin.

The figure walking slowly in the sea of ​​fire made Ziyu feel in a trance. She grew up watching the two brothers Lin Chou and Lin Lin, and was well aware of their personalities. Lin Chou had a gentle personality and was good at sociability, so she later stayed in Central City and became the Grand Duke of Zhuxue who ruled and centralized power, while Lin Lin's personality He was withdrawn and extremely stubborn, so he went to Gubao to garrison the Throat Fortress.

Lin Lin was a stubborn boy, and he never regretted anything he did.

Even if he hits the south wall and gets a bloody head, he won't say a word of pain.

So...if he really wanted to climb the building, he, like the dragon drowning in the sea of ​​fire, couldn't stop him.

"Chi chi chi——"

Lin Lin walked into the sea of ​​fire. Under the blazing high temperature, his walking speed was always slow but steady.

Ziyu wants to withdraw the fire.

But her mission of loyalty to the imperial power pushed her forward.

"His Majesty!"

This is the first time Ziyu calls out to the Queen outside the attic, which is actually a dereliction of duty.

But she was really panicked.

After years of being stationed in the attic, this was the most difficult thing she had ever encountered, and now she didn't know how to deal with it.

But this call did not get a response from the second floor of the attic.

Lin Lin smiled.

Snap!

He stepped onto the first step.

In the sea of ​​​​fire, a faint laughter sounded at the same time.

"Sister, from the moment I took over the identity of '073', you started to make plans, didn't you?"

"I know I'm a pawn."

"I'm also willing to be a chess piece."

"Actually, I just don't want to ask more. It doesn't mean that I don't know anything. I know the encounter between me and Gu Shen, the storm in Gubao, the restart mission of Duolu River, the return of Traveler's Fire... what happened in Beizhou Everything is under your control and is part of your plan.”

Bang...Lin Lin climbed to the second floor.

"I know it's not a coincidence that Azhaer invited Gu Shen to Beizhou, and it's not a coincidence that the engagement between Meng and I broke up."

"I know that the power of fire you possess can grasp the only correct 'answer' in the gaps between countless fates."

"I want to know, since you know so much and control so much...how could you let Gu Shen die in Sangzhou Cave?"

Lin Lin raised his feet. He wanted to climb the third step. At this moment, Ziyu had given up using the Dragon Flame Sea to restrain and hurt the child he had watched since childhood. But at the same time that Ziyu had the idea of ​​giving up, Countless wind and snow condensed on the steps. It was the "big cold" condensed from the ground of Beizhou. It was also a symbol of the power of the imperial power. The wind and snow were freezing to the bone. The moment this chill appeared, the dragon was annihilated. The sea of ​​fire froze.

Lin Lin was also frozen.

Lin Lin, who rushed back from Gubao after a long journey, showed no fear or hesitation.

He took a deep breath: "So I must see you today and ask these things clearly."

"It doesn't matter what price you pay..."

He stepped towards the third level condensed ice cone.

Click!

The ice pick pierced the boots, the blood was frozen, and the green frost spread up the calves.

Lin Lin raised his head.

A figure that had not appeared in front of the world for a long time appeared on the second floor of the attic.

The figure was covered in a snow velvet cloak, exuding fluctuating chills. He looked down at the rebellious young man on the steps. There was no gentleness towards his younger brother in his eyes, only cold indifference.

"......His Majesty?"

Ziyu was stunned. For so many years, His Majesty has been retreating in the attic. Because he needed to fight against the frost and cold absorbed by the furnace and support the Central City, he never left. If anything happened, he would always send an apostle, or dispatch an apostle. The illusion of the divine realm is here to be completed.

This is the first time to travel in person.

"Just to ask about this matter..."

The Queen looked at her stupid and stubborn brother and asked expressionlessly: "Does it really matter if you pay any price?"
