Light Barrier

Chapter 567

Until Gu Shen finished speaking, there was no response from the Ruler of Truth.

These words are certainly not meant for the dead Pluto. Death is like a lamp going out, and so is Pluto, even though the will he once laid down is still scattered in the river of Hades.

It's just that Pluto couldn't hear a word of what Gu Shen said.

"Don't you want to say something?"

Since the devil didn't speak, Gu Shen simply took the initiative to ask.

"What do you want me to say?"

The devil said calmly: "Now that I'm in your hands, I should say something you like to hear... Well, I agree, understand, and fully support your choice."

"I'm very curious about what the last guy holding the ruler did."

Gu Shen said calmly: "You don't know anything about it, do you? Since you can call it 'Styx', you should know something."

"..."

silence.

The inside of the ruler is extremely quiet.

If you use your spiritual power to penetrate and sink, you will see that in the large space where light and shadow intersect, the devil is sitting lazily on the throne, seemingly sleeping with his eyes closed.

It has the right to remain silent at all times.

Obviously, the devil doesn't want to talk about the past he experienced in this ruler.

And Gu Shen, who had just completed a transaction, could not use "black silver" to threaten him at this moment. At least for the next ten days... he had to fulfill his promise and give the devil "freedom".

"Okay." Gu Shen shrugged and said, "Don't you just want to make the next deal?"

The word transaction has inexplicable magic.

The devil, who was sitting on the throne, raised his eyebrows. He raised his head and said in a gloomy tone, impatiently: "Gu Shen... don't think of me as a fool. I know what kind of person you are."

Cunning, insidious, despicable, shameless...

This young man calls himself "the devil" in his heart, but in this unequal transaction relationship, he is the one who is more like the devil!

trade?

I'm afraid that even if the sky falls, Gu Shen won't really trade with him.

Originally, it was still trying to achieve the purpose of the transaction by relying on inducements, opportunities, and coercion on certain specific occasions.

But now it has given up these ideas.

Because it completely confirmed that Gu Shen is the kind of guy he hates the most, a guy who is extremely cautious and afraid of death... In matters such as transactions, even if there is a little bit of opacity and the details that may bring risks are not clear, Gu Shen will Will not agree.

This is a long game.

This is true for Gu Shen.

The same goes for the devil.

"We've already started trading, haven't we? That's a good sign."

Gu Shen follows the temptation and makes sure that his relationship with the devil is close enough but far enough away...

Close enough to be useful at critical moments.

Far enough away, that's for your own "safety".

Several confrontations, several games.

He gets to know the devil better and better, and the devil gets to know himself better and better.

It would not be a good thing if this guy no longer takes the initiative to bring up transactions one day... Maybe one day in the future, Gu Shen will encounter a huge crisis that is difficult to resolve.

At that time, the devil may not try his best.@@@@

To it, the word loyalty is like shit.

It would be best if this ruler could have another owner, and it was someone who was stupid, impatient, and eager for power!

In these transactions, the conditions offered by the devil are so tempting. To put it bluntly, it is the imbalance between supply and demand on both sides.

Gu Shen needs to adjust this balance, neither missing nor relying on it.

"What do you want to say?"

The devil spoke quietly, not interested in Gu Shen's words.

"I think you should know what the previous owner of the ruler, 'Pluto'... was going to do." Gu Shen thought for a moment and said slowly: "That's right, right?"

It's not hard to guess.

The devil kept silent about the events of twenty years ago.

Obviously, this is because he does not want to know the secrets of the previous master... But if you think about it carefully, Pluto left the Ruler of Truth in the East Continent and set off to the 【Old World】 by himself. It was obvious that everything had been planned.

The devil doesn't care at all whether the previous Pluto's plan in the labyrinth can succeed.

His "rewriting" of Golden Spike Flower is nothing more than a major change in Pluto's previous plan that was out of his control... Once the "subconscious mind" of this big snake no longer kills, then it will no longer attack the transcendent who comes out of the barrier, nor will it. I will collect dead souls for the Pure Land again!

If Ruler had a deal with Pluto to protect the plan.

I'm afraid it won't be that easy to conquer Golden Spike Flower.

Two cold words came from the spiritual space of the Ruler of Truth.

"so?"

Gu Shen smiled: "So... you don't care whether his plan succeeds or not, why not help me completely smash his plan."

He held up a finger.

"This is a fair deal. You don't need to tell me where Pluto is, what foreshadowings he has buried, what objects he has hidden... I will find and destroy it myself. You don't need to put in much effort in this process, either. I just need your guidance at critical moments.”

Same, change to the same.

The devil thought for a moment and asked, "What good do I do?"

"free."

Gu Shen said seriously: "The deal we reached earlier was to give you ten days of freedom... During these ten days, you can not be sealed by the black silver, and you can sense what is happening in the outside world. But you should also know very well that in ten days Once the time limit is up, I will seal you again!"

Although he knew as early as the moment the transaction was completed that he would be re-sealed on the eleventh day, the devil was still very unhappy when he heard this from Gu Shen.

A hint of anger appeared on that dark face.

This is the first day of ten days!

Gu Shen started threatening himself?

"If there is no seal on the eleventh day, then the ten days of freedom are meaningless." Gu Shen said lightly: "This is also for your own good. If you don't experience the pain of prison, how can you know that freedom is precious?"

The reason why Gu Shen's deal with the devil was so smooth was because he had a card in his hand that he could play infinitely.

That is...freedom!

After all, the devil is just a ray of spirit.

For it, being soaked in black silver...is not just a loss of freedom, it is simply torture!

But Gu Shen also knew that the "freedom" card seemed useful, but in fact it was not very effective... This card could only be used to complete small transactions. This devil could endure twenty years of loneliness. If If you are really anxious, you will definitely be able to endure the torture of Hei Yin.

Gu Shen guessed that this guy's ultimate goal was to "seize" his own body.

Therefore, he has to constantly propose transactions and throw out new goals one after another, pointing to the ultimate goal.

At least, the devil cannot be given up hope.

The other side has the same idea... In this silent game, both sides are hunters and prey for each other. Now it seems that Gu Shen has control of the situation, but in fact he is the one walking on thin ice.

Making a deal with the devil is walking a tightrope on a cliff.

If you are not careful, you will fall hard and lose your weight.

"I want to cleanse the Styx of its 'spiritual toxins'."

Gu Shen brought the ruler in front of him and said calmly: "If you lead the way and are responsible for helping me complete this 'clearance'... then I can guarantee that after leaving the Styx, I will not use black silver to seal the ruler. This deal, you do you accept?"

In the ruler space.

The dark figure on the throne was lost in thought.

He looked at the outside world, the extremely dignified young man holding a ruler.

It's a tempting deal...

But something doesn't sound right?

"You only have three seconds to think about it."

Gu Shen's voice sounded again.

The devil frowned.

His instinctive vigilance made him want to refuse... But just by leading the way, he could gain long-term freedom.

This is really a sure-fire deal.

Don't wait for Gu Shen to count down.

The devil said in a deep voice: "Okay...I agree."

Sound transmission, a silent link formed above Gu Shenxin Lake.

Deal done!

The devil fulfilled his promise and used his mental power to point Gu Shen in a direction.

"Buzz buzz-"

At the far end of the boundless black river, a light spot vaguely emerged.
