Capítulo 1319: Chapter 133: Mr. Key
“Senior, why did you stop?”
Gu Shen also halted imdiately and asked with a smile, “Do you need a rest? No rush, I’ll wait here for you. We can start again whenever you’re ready.”
“You…”
Mr. Zhuang laughed in exasperation.
Suddenly, he realized this young man was quite different from what he had imagined.
“If senior hasn’t had enough, I can accompany you until dawn.”
Gu Shen said calmly, “If you’ve had enough, why not take a rest and give a chance to explain myself.”
“…”
Mr. Zhuang fell into complete silence.
It was only now he realized that, after pinpointing the “spiritual toxins,” he hadn’t given this young man a chance to speak.
But that wasn’t really his fault.
Twenty years ago.
The Netherworld King was truly a notorious figure.
What kind of good person would resort to using the “Netherworld King’s Poison”?
Back then, giving such a person a chance to speak would only bring bad luck to oneself!
“This poison…is indeed from the ‘Netherworld King.'”
Gu Shen stated calmly, “But I snatched it from the ‘Netherworld King’ himself.”
“???”
With those words.
Mr. Zhuang’s expression was quite a sight to behold.
“You? Snatched from the ‘Netherworld King’?”
Mr. Zhuang looked at Gu Shen, his face conflicted…wondering if this young man had drunk too much tonight?
Even though he had fourth level combat ability, if placed in the army of Holy Judges that once crusaded against the Netherworld King, he would barely qualify as a large ‘cannon fodder.’
However…
This ti, Gu Shen wasn’t lying.
The Duolu River Poison was a token of the transaction between the “Netherworld King” and the “Traveler.” This “river poison” was supposed to be the trump card the Netherworld King used to wipe out the Traveler Clan…it’s just that this ace was never used, as Gu Shen retrieved it from the depths of the Nether River.
In strict terms, he did really snatch it from the “Netherworld King”!
“Whether what I say is true or not, doesn’t really matter.”
Gu Shen said leisurely, “The reason you attacked earlier, was nothing more than the ‘Hades Poison’ making you believe… I am a hypocritical person. So, I just need to present sothing that proves my ‘real identity’ and that’s enough.”
Mr. Zhuang frowned.
In the next mont.
Gu Shen stepped forward—
That step made Mr. Zhuang’s pupils contract. He instinctively wanted to retreat, but the previously frozen blue frost suddenly spread, instantly freezing his legs in place, nailing him to the spot.
“Don’t be nervous.”
Gu Shen said sincerely, “…I’m not a bad person.”
He walked up to Mr. Zhuang, the blackness in his eyes gradually receding, a tiny fla igniting deep in his pupils.
Zhuang Su stared blankly at that wisp of fire.
He embraced the high walls of the entire S3 life zone into his dream.
And Gu Shen embraced Zhuang Su into his dream.
At this mont, Zhuang Su’s spirit sea resonated with an infinite roar. He watched the tiny fla scorch before him, the black night burning open, and the firelight brought his soul forth, arriving at an endless wilderness. This wilderness had sky-reaching trees towering into the clouds, majestic large snow encapsulating the world, falling and falling again…he arrived at the boundless deep sea, accompanied by the explosive sound of a wheel hub, suddenly seated in a carriage seat of a rapidly speeding yet silently tranquil train.
“Buzz—”
The whole world, from chaos, turned into extre tranquility.
He sat blankly on the seat, looking at the ethereal girl levitating cross-legged not far away. In the Ancient Literature Society, very few people had seen this ‘girl’; before the great purge started, “Chu Ling” was responsible for linking the Five Continents as the subject of the [Deep Sea].
It’s just that after the main system upgrade, this line of [source code] was purged and annihilated.
As for what happened later… aside from Zhou Jiren, no one knows.
“[Source Code]…”
Mr. Zhuang looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar face, the black robe covering the face sliding off, revealing an aged visage; his hair had long turned gray, but his mories were still clear.
He would always rember this “girl.”
“Sir.”
Chu Ling said softly, “I have a na, you can call ‘Chu Ling.'”
Chu Ling.
Indeed…this na had not appeared for many, many years.
Zhuang Su suddenly turned his head, looking at the young man who led his spirit to descend into this space… if this girl was regarded as the [source code] foundation stone for the rebuilding of the Ancient Literature Society, then this young man was…
Gu Shen stood at the end of carriage 001.
He reached out and opened the door leading to the next carriage… in the Spirit Space, no one knows what world lies behind the [door].
With a yearning for the truth, Zhuang Su staggered to his feet, took a deep breath, and then stepped into the space behind the [Gate].
Behind the [Gate] was a very small conference room.
Pure Land, zero-zero-one, all spiritual images shattered at this point.
“As you thought.”
Gu Shen softly said, “I… am the [Key].”
…
…
Everything in the Spiritual World dissipated like bubbles.
The ocean waters subsided.
Returning to reality.
The Chi Huo in the depths of Gu Shen’s pupils… gradually faded.
The radiance mirrored in Zhuang Su’s eyes returned to calm.
“The Key…”
He murmured, “So that’s it… You are… the Key…”
On his way here, all those perplexing doubts and confusions vanished at this mont.
Because Gu Shen is the [Key].
So when he arrived here, he discerned the true identity of the “Neutral” from the clues in S3 district…
So he recreated everything the “Neutral” did.
He had been waiting for the “Neutral” to arrive and then prove their identity.
“Senior, is this information about the ‘Netherworld Fire’ still important now?”
Gu Shen smiled and spoke, spreading his arms, leaning back against the taphorical city wall to rest.
The Pure Land withdrew, ice lted away with a splash.
Zhuang Su regained freedom of movent, but he did not make another move. Instead, with a complex expression, he said, “‘Netherworld Fire’ indeed isn’t important… If you are the [Key], then anything is possible.”
Gu Shen smiled.
“I’m sorry… I was rash.”
Zhuang Su slowly bowed, made a gesture of respect, and said seriously, “I nearly made a mistake…”
“It’s nothing, your handling wasn’t wrong.”
Gu Shen shook his head. Zhuang Su’s spiritual power was very strong, likely at the pinnacle of the Deep Sea Tenth Layer. If he had chosen to launch a surprise attack, he might have posed a real threat to Gu Shen.
However, with his “Iron Scale Skin”, if Zhuang Su harbored any murderous intent, Chi Huo would imdiately sense it.
So…
Nothing would have happened.
Gu Shen did not tell Zhuang Su how his “Netherworld Fire” ca to be. Even after completing the “negotiation” at this mont, he did not reveal his true identity…
As long as he could prove he was a good person.
Do these things still matter?
“Mr. Zhuang, to be honest, I’ve been waiting for your arrival.”
Gu Shen calmly said, “The situation in Sangzhou Cave is quite severe now. Besides , there are the other Three Continents, and the ‘extremists’ hidden in the Southern Continent, all in activity… If the Neutral is discovered by them, it wouldn’t end well.”
“Indeed…”
Zhuang Su nodded and said, “However, we are observing everything, and the current situation is relatively stable.”
“Perhaps the Goddess of Destiny is watching over us,” he paused and laughed, “The activities of the ‘Neutral’ are mainly concentrated in the South Cave, which happens to be the stationing territory of East Continent…”
“…”
Gu Shen sighed lightly in his heart.
It seems the intelligence of the Neutral is still limited. [Deep Sea] has cut off everyone’s connection to the Sangzhou Cave. Ancient Literature Society mbers are no exception, they don’t have any special ans to communicate with the outside world.
So, Zhuang Su doesn’t know about the redistribution of the Four Continents’ territories at all.
If it weren’t for Gu Shen’s keen perception that discerned the true identity of the “Neutral”, the ones participating in the division of this area at this mont should have been West Continent and Central Continent…
Regardless, the territory of the “Neutral” was without danger, he gambled correctly.
So after a brief thought, Gu Shen just nodded and smiled in agreent.
He didn’t tell Zhuang Su that the “Goddess of Destiny” is actually himself.
“Respected [Key], please forgive my prior reckless ‘probing’.”
Zhuang Su bowed again, “It was very impolite, but I had no other choice. To survive in a place like Sangzhou Cave, the ‘Neutral’ must be extrely cautious, and careful, we cannot afford the slightest mistake…”
Gu Shen returned the gesture.
He shook his head and said seriously, “It’s nothing, you don’t need to feel guilty, nor apologize anymore.”
“…”
Zhuang Su went to the top of the wall, standing under the [Lantern], he extended a hand to Gu Shen, making an inviting gesture.
“Next, is the true side of the ‘Neutral’…”
“Mr. Xiao Gu, please co with .”
