Light Barrier

Chapter 675

The moment the mask breaks.

Ian was stunned when he saw Chu Ling's true appearance. He has walked in the world for more than a hundred years and has never seen a woman with such a stunning appearance.

He could no longer imagine——

How delicious would the soul of such a stunningly beautiful girl taste like?

However!

The moment he bit down, he realized something was wrong! !

Under the ritual of life sacrifice, biting the soul is just an illusion. The real meaning is "transfer of life." Since the immortality technique he mastered is incomplete, a large amount of life force will flow into the void. In a ceremony, what I can receive is only one-twentieth of the life of the person being imbued.

But that's enough. This girl looks like she's less than twenty.

Even if I only live another sixty years.

I can also gain three more years of life...

But after taking this first bite, there was a feeling of "failure". Ian felt as if he had gained nothing... Was it an illusion?

He quickly took a second bite!

Nothing happened, and my "life span" barely increased at all. Maybe... it increased by just a few dozen minutes? In the long river of time he has experienced, these few dozen minutes are really like a wave of waves.

There will be no splashing water.

But soon the “exciting” stuff arrives!

Ian's pupils contracted and he grunted. He felt a large amount of "memories" coming from him. Involuntarily, they poured into his spiritual sea. This was the "price" of taking two bites, and he had to bear it. He couldn't help it. Avoid "draining". There is no free lunch in this world. If you want to eat up the "life" of the person being sucked, you need to eat the corresponding memory.

It seems that this is a good thing.

But on the contrary, it was a disaster.

The longer a person lives, the longer his memory... For an antique like Ian who has lived for 121 years, his spirit has long since aged, and his memory space has been filled up.

If you swallow a life span, it means swallowing a memory.

Then his spiritual sea will be filled with a large number of "memories"... He will gradually forget who he really is, and gradually lose his "self" in the memory war in the spiritual sea.

Immortality, this is the most powerful forbidden technique in the world.

Its side effects and costs must be the most terrifying.

...

...

Chu Ling didn't resist. She even stretched out a hand to hold down Gu Shen who was about to take action.

"I feel like... my life has diminished."

She said calmly: "About one day missing."

One day is not too little for her.

The life she had was even shorter than Xia Chan.

A complete life cycle lasts only more than ten days.

Gu Shen was a little hesitant. He looked at the "monstrous formation" emitting blood-colored fluctuations. If Chu Ling hadn't stopped him, he would have tried to interrupt this evil sacrifice of life transfer...

He respects Chu Ling and understands Chu Ling's intention to stop him.

"This formation seems to be the beginning of everything...but in fact, everything is over."

Chu Ling said in a very soft voice: "From the moment he took the first bite."

She could feel that more than just life was passing away.

Also, memory.

A massive amount of data that cannot be described in words.

The data, which could almost shatter the hard drive of an entire room, crazily crept into Ian's head. In just a moment, the young man's face turned red and it became difficult to breathe.

A strange picture suddenly appeared in his mind.

A train flashing with electric light roared past the bottom of the endless sea.

Then there were mountains, snowfields, deserts, blue seas, and tens of millions of cutscenes. This was the surveillance picture captured by the 【Deep Sea】 eyes. These pictures flooded into Ian's mind in an instant, and they are still there. Continuously dividing, the power of the Immortality Technique forcefully dragged him into the soul sea of ​​the original owner of this life, allowing him to experience the original scene of the birth of these memories.

These are the lowest and most useless junk data in Chu Ling's spiritual world.

Veins bulged in Ian's forehead and his eyes bulged.

"Who are you......"

Ian stared at Chu Ling, and he suddenly understood.

Unfortunately, at this moment, his mind has been filled with massive data, and his own thinking space has been squeezed to the extreme. Even speaking has become a luxury.

He tried his best to speak.

"Who are you!!!"@@@@

The next moment, there was a "bang"——

His head exploded!

All this happened without warning and extremely suddenly.

This is not easy to deal with.

...

...

It's a sunny and warm morning.

South of the small town of Linz, there is a public mausoleum area. Many extraordinary people came here to send white flowers of condolence specially used for funerals on one of the new monuments... The owner of this tombstone is named "Ian Leon." Nader".

If the people who came to express condolences knew Ian's true identity, he was a remnant of the Ancient Literature Society.

Then they will not give flowers.

If the members of the Ancient Literature Society knew that Ian was abusing the longevity technique and violating the moral bottom line.

Then they will no longer pay homage.

This is an "old man" who has lived for too long and finally forgot why he lived. He is both crazy and pitiful. Under the temptation of immortality, he finally wrote the word "ridiculous" on his life.

But it doesn't seem to change anything.

Today, he dies among flowers and flowers, and still enjoys the high respect of countless people after his death.

Gu Shen was also at the funeral, but he stood at the very back... He had seen too many "life and death farewells" in the past few years, and attending funerals seemed to have become a common thing.

He watched all this silently, without any fluctuation in his heart.

It is meaningless to him to expose Ian. As an outsider, he will only cause countless troubles. Taking a step back and showing Ian's ugly face will also be a blow to the Ancient Literature Society.

After thinking for a long time in the cellar, he made a decision.

Preserving "Ian's" good name.

It's just that...the person lying in the coffin at this moment, being presented with flowers, saluted, and worshiped, is the innocent victim Hooper.

The real "Ian" has been burned completely.

Gu Shen explained to the outside world that Hooper, the disciple responsible for taking care of Ian, chose to travel after his teacher passed away... No one would care about this young man, because in their view, Ian really died of old age.

"Mr. Gu, you don't seem to be sad."

There was another person at the end of the team with him, who was the high-level star envoy sent by Shangcheng to investigate the Huolin case.

The high-ranking star envoy checked Ian's body and confirmed that there was no problem before today's funeral.

"Lord Star Envoy, you are not sad either."

Gu Shen glanced at it and said calmly: "Human beings have different joys and sorrows... Do we have to squeeze out tears like them to prove our emotions?"

At the front, there were several students who had been rejected by Ian, looking sad and "sincerely affectionate."

For Gu Shen, who knew Ian's true identity, this scene was a bit funny. These guys were all rejected by Ian because of their poor qualifications.

If they can really enter the courtyard, they may be the next ones to be sucked out of life... I wonder if they will still be able to cry by then?

"Too."

The high-ranking star envoy smiled after hearing this.

He was not planning to cause trouble to Gu Shen on this matter.

The star envoy suddenly said: "Mr. Xiao Gu, when I left Shangcheng, I heard an interesting thing... Maybe you, a guest from Dongzhou, will be interested."

Gu Shen raised his eyebrows: "Why, did something major happen in Shangcheng related to Dongzhou?"

"It's not a big deal."

The Star Envoy said calmly: "Lu Nanjin got into a fight with one of the Four Divine Sons, the Suzaku Divine Envoy, in front of the Tower of Origin. The Suzaku Divine Envoy's senior brother Qin Ye died in your Dongzhou, and the two of them fought. It caused quite a stir.”

"..."

Gu Shen looked calm, but actually his heart thumped.

What senior sister meant by "taking a look" is indeed not that simple.

The status of the four divine sons of the Tower of Source is probably equivalent to that of the "Blessed Sons" of Guangming City. These four are carefully selected by the two gods and will be the future agents of divine authority!

When the name Qin Ye came out, Gu Shen guessed the ending.

It was related to the old case back then, so the senior sister would definitely draw her sword, but if she meets the Fourth God Son now, the outcome may be disastrous.

"Lu Nanjin lost."

Sure enough, the high-ranking star envoy paused deliberately.

When he said this, there was a smile on his lips. He deliberately left it until now just to see Gu Shen's reaction.

The star envoy wanted to see surprise or dissatisfaction on Gu Shen's face.

But in the end he was disappointed.

There was no movement on Gu Shen's face.

He asked calmly: "What happened next?"

"later?"

"She was not strong enough, and she was too far behind the Suzaku Divine Envoy. She was beaten until she vomited blood, suffered a huge defeat, and returned home in vain." The Star Envoy paused and smiled: "As far as I know, Lu Nanjin escaped from the Tower of Origin. When we were there, we were in a very embarrassing situation... The Suzaku Divine Envoy chased us all the way, and no one knows what happened next. I don’t know if we have caught up now."

Beaten to the point of vomiting blood?

Gu Shen's eyes gradually became gloomy.
