Light Barrier

Chapter 486

Zou Hai closed the door.

Gu Shen was alone, sitting cross-legged on the loft bed, lost in thought.

"Strange noise?"

He shook his head, didn't think much, and immersed himself in practice. ·

...

...

The patrol sentry of Gubao Fortress walks under the giant wall.

The night wind chills.

When the two sentries arrived at the attic area, there was a flash of light around the corner.

"Sir Adjutant."

The two sentries stood at attention and saluted.

"Um."

Zou Hai, who left Gu Shen's attic, nodded and whispered: "The front is where Mr. Gu rests. You will focus on patrolling here tonight... If you find anything strange, notify me as soon as possible."

"Strange..."

Looking at each other, the two patrolmen showed a subtle expression of understanding.

They really understand the meaning of this word.

"He is different from the visitors from Central City." Zou Hai frowned and said in a deep voice: "This is a distinguished guest brought by the 【Apostle】 Lord Azhaer. If you are injured in the Gubao, Her Majesty the Queen will come down and ask for forgiveness... We have to take responsibility!"

The two sentries immediately straightened their backs and responded loudly: "...Yes!"

Zou Hai rubbed his eyebrows, sighed softly, and gradually walked away.

He murmured: "I hope you won't let that thing out tonight..."

The two sentries looked at each other.

They continued their patrol, communicating mentally as they patrolled the perimeter of the attic.

"Is that person named Gu... worthy of such attention?"

"This guy's courage is astonishing. He puts on a third-level source armor and dares to face the source energy cannon..." The patrol sentry said frankly: "It doesn't look like a weakling to do such a thing."

"It's just so-so. This doesn't mean anything..."

The mental communication came to an abrupt end.

The two sentinels stood at attention with tense expressions, looking at the "ghostly figure" that appeared in front of them at an unknown moment... Lord Zou Hai, who had just left not long ago, unexpectedly reappeared in front of them.

"Lord Adjutant!"

The scene reappears.

The two spoke respectfully... but Zou Hai just glanced at them coldly and said nothing.

"Adjutant, what are your instructions?"

Facing two sentries standing at attention.

Zou Hai waved his hand and signaled them to leave quickly.

The attic area had just been set up as a key patrol point, and now they were asked to leave... The two patrol soldiers looked confused, then obeyed the order and walked away from the attic.

A sharp mental pressure has been hanging over the two of them.

It didn't slowly dissipate until they were far away from the attic.

"Lao Shu..."

The silent sentry looked around to make sure that no one was there, then turned around with lingering fear and asked: "Did you feel that the adjutant just now... was a little strange?"

...

...

"boom."

There was a very light knock on the door.

Gu Shen, who was sitting cross-legged on the loft bed, slowly opened his eyes.

Out of habit.

Gu Shen subconsciously released a ray of energy.

However, the moment Blazing Fire opened his eyes, the golden hoop burst out with a streak of scalding heat, suppressing it tightly... After receiving the blessing from the "War God Throne", Gu Shen had not been there for a long time. Use your mental power to explore the surrounding environment.

But in fact, he is already used to it.

If there is no battle, even if you can't use your mental power, it won't have much impact.

Gu Shen frowned.

He remembered Adjutant Zou's warning before leaving.

【"You may hear some strange noises outside the door, but please do not open the door no matter what."】

"Chu Ling, what's outside the door?"

Gu Shen spoke softly.

"The 【Sky Eye】 of Gubao Fortress is protected by special authority, and I cannot fully mobilize it yet." Chu Ling gave a regretful reply.

"Is this so..."

Gu Shen smiled.

He was still sitting cross-legged on the bed, motionless, and paid no attention to the voice.

But then, there was a second knock on the door.

"Bang bang..."

This time, the knock on the door became much gentler.

Along with it, there was a familiar voice with a gentle voice.

"Gu Shen, it's me, Zou Hai."

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes and walked down from the bed. He looked through the peephole in front of the door and saw a tall figure disappearing in the darkness, with a face as rough as a beast.

"Adjutant Zou" left and came back.

Gu Shen laughed softly.

He opened the door and without looking back, went straight back to the bed and sat cross-legged again.

"Adjutant Zou" was standing outside the door, looking calmly into the room.

"What are you doing standing still?"

Gu Shen closed his eyes and asked lightly: "The door is open, why don't you go in?"

"Adjutant Zou", who was standing quietly at the door of the house, slowly entered the house after watching for a few seconds.

The moment you enter the house.

"Click" sound!

The door is closed.

Gu Shen was still meditating with his eyes closed.

He chuckled and said: "No wonder Zou Hai told me not to open the door when hearing any noise... Who would have thought that there is such a strange 'super pet beast' raised in Gubao Fortress, which can actually Performed hypnosis on your own?"

"Roar......"

Zou Hai, who was wearing a big cloak, let out a deep roar from his throat.

He held out a big hand.

"Tear!"

He pulled off the big cloak and threw it towards Gu Shen. The distance between the two was less than ten meters. The moment he threw the big cloak, "Zou Hai" suddenly moved, and his body instantly fell to the ground, kicking his limbs. He jumped out of the ground, and the floor of the wooden attic was shattered by this kick!

Sawdust flying!

And the moment Gu Shen opened his eyes, the black cloak in front of him that covered his field of vision was torn to pieces by the strong wind, revealing a ferocious face of a vicious dog, with intertwined fangs and the faint sound of thunder!

"boom--"

This vicious dog came straight towards Gu Shen.

The entire attic seemed to be filled with strong wind and thunder!

The young man sitting on the bed was about to be knocked down by the giant mountain-like dog almost instantly...

And the next moment.

Between Gu Shen's eyebrows, a wisp of "vertical pupils" opened with difficulty.

"Dang-dang-dang-dang——"

The golden hoop emerged.

The fire pattern splashed out dozens of streams of light in an instant.

"At any rate...it can be regarded as squeezing out a ray of 'power of fire'..."

Gu Shen wiped two fingers from the vertical pupil between his eyebrows.

There was a faint flame on his fingertips.

"But it's enough to interpret dreams!"

Strong winds and thunder tore through the entire attic, while a wisp of flames was mixed between a person and a dog. Gu Shen resisted the majestic power and stretched out two fingers with a relaxed expression. The wisp was so small that it could happen at any time. The extinguished flame was pressed between the giant dog's eyebrows.

"Roar--"

Angry roars shook.

And the entire attic returned to calm like water.

The giant dog as big as a hill is fake.

Adjutant Zou was silent for a while and said, "Maybe it was an illusion, but after meeting Mr. Gu, this uneasiness slowly dissipated..."

Lin Lin listened quietly.

He did not interrupt Zou Hai's speech, but after he finished speaking, he said meaningfully: "His strength is only the seventh level of the deep sea."

After Gu Shen arrived at Gubao Fortress, the person in charge of receiving him was Zou Hai.

With such an arrangement, it is naturally not just a simple chat.

"yes."

Zou Hai frowned slightly and recalled the scenes when they got along. He said with some uncertainty: "Actually, adults should have noticed it, right? When he was avoiding the 【Source Energy Cannon】... his strength was already exposed. This is The seventh level of the deep sea.”

That fireworks show.

High-level extraordinary people have already seen Gu Shen's strength.

Although he performed a "thrilling" close-to-body flight,...the remaining elements in the air, as well as the manageable third-order source armor, all proved Gu Shen's level of essence.

Deep water area, seventh floor.

"It's just that my subordinates feel that Gu Shen is hiding something. This feeling always emerges when looking at him."

"Woof!"

Labrador echoed strongly.

"Shut up."

Lin Lin was stunned by it and continued to ask: "Looking at each other?"

"Yes, when we looked at each other, I felt like there was a deep sea hidden in this young man's eyes."

Zou Hai murmured: "Looking at him, it was actually a very contradictory feeling. I seemed to see both light and darkness. I speculate that this is the influence of mental power. His mental power may exceed The seventh layer of the deep sea.”

"His ability 【Fire】 is an S-level spiritual power."

Lin Lin narrowed his eyes, smoked out the butt of the cigarette, put it in the ashtray, and said slowly: "Do you still remember CN021? Nagano in Dongzhou is not a greenhouse. Geniuses who can achieve such a reputation in Nagano must have real strength. Character...this young man is probably the kind of freak who is extremely good at mental power."

"You mean that Gu Shen's mental power is probably beyond the current level... on the eighth level?"

Zou Hai looked a little enlightened and murmured: "If this is the case, he is worthy of the title of 'S-class'..."

Extraordinary people who have reached the third stage of spiritual practice will know how difficult this large stage of spiritual practice is.

If you can maintain your own extraordinary strength, you are a top genius!

As for someone who has surpassed a big realm...that is definitely a monster-level figure.

The path of cultivation for extraordinary people who can achieve this level is destined to be bright. Due to their extremely stable spirits, these people have a higher upper limit of combat power. They can develop the higher potential of sealed objects and achieve incredible things. "Cross-border killing"!

"Sir, tomorrow is Hong Zhong's 'mental examination'."

Zou Hai said softly: "Psychic extraordinary people have always been a rare resource. The appraisers in our fortress are only at the eighth level of mental power. I think it would be better to let Gu Shen do the appraisal directly... wouldn't it be better?"

"There is no need to bother him with such a small matter as a mental appraisal. Hong Zhong's mental power level is probably around the seventh level. Our spiritual extraordinary is enough to complete this appraisal."

Lin Lin said in a soft voice: "Gu Shen came all the way to the Fortress. First, he was shot in the face by an energy cannon, and then he encountered a vicious dog knocking on the door in the middle of the night... Is it appropriate for us to use this kind of thing to send him tomorrow? ?”

Zou Hai was startled.

He didn't expect that the Brigadier General would have this attitude.

Originally, he thought... Lin Lin didn't like this visitor from Dongzhou.

"After all, Azhaer personally brought the guest, and he also showed his courage to fight against the energy cannon. If he repeatedly embarrasses such a young man, it will bring bad reputation to Beizhou..."

Lin Lin stood up, opened the window, breathed in the biting snowy wind, and said softly: "He came to Gubao probably for the cane chip with unknown information. Tomorrow, when the mental evaluation is completed, the truth will come to light. "

...

...

"Mr. Xiao Gu."

Early the next morning.

Adjutant Zou knocked on Gu Shen's door.

After Gu Shen opened the door, he looked at the dog Zou Hai was holding and couldn't help but smile: "Adjutant Zou, it doesn't have to be like this... I can tell who is a human and who is a dog."

Zou Hai was a little embarrassed.

He said sincerely: "Master Lin Lin deeply apologizes for what happened last night. This vicious dog has been disciplined. He came to the door again this morning to reiterate his apology."

"Woooooooo..."

That Labrador has a big head.

It was obvious that he had been severely disciplined.

Gu Shen smiled.

Of course he wouldn't care about such a trivial matter... He and Zou Hai walked under the giant wall last night. Because of these people garrisoning the fort, the peaceful life in Wuzhou was possible. Gu Shen respected it very much, but In fact, to him, both Lin Lin and Zou Hai were just passersby in his life.

This time I came to Gubao just to find the clues about the cane sawdust in the "Maze Mission".

After completing the task, he returned.

"I specially arranged Beizhou's breakfast for you and sent it to the attic. You can try it."

The combat environment of Gubao Fortress is very difficult.

Preparing breakfast... is not easy.

However, the breakfast Zou Hai brought was not a luxurious meal. It was a long piece of frozen bread, spread with butter, and milk residue... and paired with a large jar of mellow milk tea in a thermos.

"This...well..."

Gu Shen tried to take a bite of the long piece of bread. He chewed it hard and found it difficult to say the word "delicious".

Zou Hai laughed loudly: "You can't chew this thing, right? It's something that men in Beizhou like to eat. It's made of flour, hops, and salt. We call it 'Leba'. It's easy to carry and can be stored for a long time." , the soldiers eat every day, only when they are full can they have the strength to train!"

Beizhou, it's freezing cold.

Even extraordinary people need a lot of calories to maintain their daily lives.

It is true that only people from Beizhou can eat this kind of food.

After eating breakfast, the two set off together and walked towards the rest room where Hong Zhong was.

On the road.

Zou Hai spoke guiltily again and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao Gu..."

This is not his first apology.

Gu Shen smiled and said, "You really don't need to take what happened last night to heart."

"Actually, there is one more thing."

Adjutant Zou said: "Today is the day for Hong Zhong's mental evaluation. I told Master Lin Lin last night that maybe it would be better if you conduct the evaluation yourself... But I think this is not the way to treat guests."

Gu Shen was stunned for a moment and understood what Zou Hai meant.

"Nothing, I'm just watching from the sidelines."

Zou Hai felt guilty because the Beizhou military had invited him, but after arriving at Gubao... he had no role to play.

Gu Shen didn't care much about this matter.

It's just a simple "mental appraisal". The Beizhou Army can easily handle such a trivial matter.

the most important is.

His mental power is still suppressed by the golden hoop.

If he were to do the appraisal, I'm afraid it would be a bit troublesome...

Gu Shen is not a person who takes the lead in everything. It is best to be a bystander in this kind of thing.

"Mr. Xiao Gu..."

Zou Hai hesitated for a moment and said: "My ability gives me a strong intuition. For some reason, I always feel that this matter is not that simple... and you are a trustworthy person."

Gu Shen shook his head and said softly: "Adjutant Zou is so complimentary."

In fact, he has always been cautious.

Azhaer invited herself to Beizhou... saying that it was under the guidance of Her Majesty the Queen.

But so far, it seems there is nothing unusual.

All was calm.

I just don’t know what will happen in the next mental evaluation.

...

...

As soon as the two arrived, they heard a commotion.

The sanatorium where Hong Zhong was located was surrounded by a dozen extraordinary beings wearing snow-white linen robes. These people all wore pale lizard epaulettes.

White lizard.

The leading man held his swords in his hands and said softly: "Adjutant Zou, you are here."

"Are these people...?"

Gu Shen raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice.

"The Second Team of the Survey Corps, the absolute elite extraordinary men under General White Lizard." Zou Hai whispered, "This man is Yuan Yuan, the deputy captain of the Second Team. He is a very difficult character."

Zou Hai's expression remained unchanged, he took a step forward and asked softly: "Vice Captain Yuan, what do you mean?"

Yuan Yuanping pressed his two swords and spoke calmly without any intention of backing down.

"We are here to protect the heroes in the 'Maze Thirty-Eight' mission under the captain's order."

hero......

Obviously, it was Hong Zhong who was lying in the hospital bed and was still in a semi-conscious state.

The man returns from a near-death quest.

Also brought back clues to the oasis.

He can indeed be called a "hero".
