455: Chapter 98: Plan to Head North (Requesting Monthly Pass)_2 455: Chapter 98: Plan to Head North (Requesting Monthly Pass)_2 Just seconds ago, the figure who had raised both hands in a gesture of surrender, Xiao, had now turned utterly somber after hearing these words.
His expression was shrouded in darkness, unspeakably grim and frightening.
He genuinely no longer cared about the existence of the “Bengxue.”
He had simply lowered his hands and slipped them into the folds of his priestly robe.
“Sandini Singh is just an ordinary person, your Blood Fire dwells within him, clinging to life, salvaging but a re existence…
But how much power can you exert through this body?” Gu Shen said calmly, “This…
is the reason I did not shoot.
You are now too weak and unworthy of my bullet.”
In this world, material and spirit should dissolve and unite as one.
But Xiao is that exception!
He possesses an incomparable “mighty spirit” and yet inhabits an extrely frail “weak body.”
“You…
understand very well,” Xiao finally stopped laughing, and began speaking in a ghostly tone.
Gu Shen slowly lowered the Truth Sniper.
The other party was not afraid of him firing the gun.
The reason was simple…
From the mont Xiao’s spiritual power attached itself to “Sandini Singh,” he was destined never to leave behind just a shell.
Even if it ant finding a body lying in the dark, muddy depths of near-death, he would definitely find another vessel for his spirit.
So much ti had passed, and if he dared to co to the East Continent alone again after thousands of miles, he would not fear the death of this incarnation.
Gu Shen’s attention was on the upright coffin behind Xiao.
Among the pile of scattered odds and ends lay an inconspicuous “Lamp”…
Lamp of Sorrow?
His gaze flickered briefly.
But it still caught Xiao’s notice.
“Since you’ve also co for this tomb…” Xiao turned to look back at the upright coffin and said calmly, “then there is no need for us to fight each other to the death here…
such a conflict would benefit neither you nor .
And judging by your appearance, you must have just sneaked in, right?”
This underground base had been constructed for several months now.
Considering the tiline of the South Continent case, it seems Xiao’s avatar had infiltrated this place so ti ago as well.
Without changing his expression, Gu Shen frowned and asked, “What are you trying to say?”
“I’m saying…
we can cooperate,” Xiao said in a hushed voice, slowly continuing, “It’s quite clear…
we each hold information the other is unaware of.
We can exchange it.”
“Exchange?”
Gu Shen shook his head, gun in hand, and declared, “It seems you have no position to negotiate.”
Seeing the sniper rifle in the other’s hand…
The scene where he was shot and killed at the Freedom Church flashed back into his mind.
It was indeed an unpleasant mory.
A trace of malice crept into Xiao’s expression.
“It seems that you don’t have much information either,” Gu Shen smiled, “Otherwise, why would you have been so slow to react at the ti of opening the coffin…
You probably didn’t know that inside the coffin was this familiar bullet, did you?”
Xiao’s face turned even uglier.
Indeed.
He could never have anticipated…
seeing this thing again!
Even “Zhou Yu” had been taken down by a single one of these bullets—
It was indeed an invincible weapon!
One such bullet in this world was already plenty!
And yet a second one had appeared in the tomb?
Does that an…
it’s possible there could be a third, a fourth?
This was precisely the thought crossing Gu Shen’s mind at that mont.
Back at Dadu River Beach, his teacher had solemnly handed the “Bengxue” to him; at that ti, it was in the sa state as it had been found in the coffin.
Bound by a red thread, at first glance it was as white as jade.
However…
at this ti, Gu Shen’s concerns were different from Xiao’s!
“Bengxue’s” two appearances, could it an…
that the teacher’s past also had connections with this ancient tomb?
“Gu Shen…
the base database’s code is being altered, the system has been attacked, and subsequent unknown errors may occur,” said Chu Ling as she started to try to restore the code.
When Gu Shen heard this, he raised his sniper rifle again.
And this ti, he walked a few steps forward.
The muzzle of the sniper rifle was now pressed against Sandini Singh’s forehead.
“I truly do not wish to shoot, but I also don’t mind shooting,” Gu Shen said expressionlessly.
“Stop all those ssy little tricks…
If anything else happens next, I will really kill you with one shot…”
Indeed, Xiao did not fear death.
But he had put in a great deal of effort to get here…
He likewise did not want to return empty-handed, sacrificing such a body.
Xiao clenched his fist silently.
“It stopped…
The database attack has stopped,” Chu Ling remarked calmly: “I will restore everything to normal.”
Gu Shen did not lower his gun but spoke softly, “Since you want to negotiate…
why not we start in this posture, Mr.
Xiao?”
He had no choice.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao raised his eyes to look at the sniper rifle above his head and ultimately chose to swallow his anger.
His forehead bulged with veins as he said through gritted teeth, “How do you want to talk?”
Narrowing his eyes, Gu Shen said indifferently, “Let’s exchange information as you earlier suggested.”
“How long have you been here, how did you co, and what’s in this tomb?”
Upon hearing this question, Xiao’s expression beca strange.
So far, he had been purely a “victim’s perspective”, alone, smuggling himself to the East Continent, barely crossing several major regions, arriving at the northern tundra, infiltrating the Late Bell Church, cracking the database password, and entering the tomb beneath the snowfield.
Then…
he finally opened the ancient coffin.
Everything seed to go smoothly—
But to everyone’s surprise, the coffin was empty, except for a precious Bengxue Bullet, and just as he was about to succeed, a young man erged from the darkness, claid the “Bengxue Bullet” with a piece of rust, and loaded it gleefully.
Then there was a “replay of the classic.”
Now, with a gun pointed at him, the guy who talks about exchanging information with him seems to have received no information at all!
“You don’t know what this place is?
How did you find it here?” Xiao, holding back his anger and puzzled, then received an unrciful kick from Gu Shen.
With a “bang”,
Gu Shen kicked Sandini Singh to the ground.
Just as he expected, the man’s physical body was extrely weak, almost like a regular person who hadn’t started Extraordinary Cultivation.
“You’d better understand the situation…
It is I who am asking you now.”
With the Truth Ruler, Gu Shen divided another segnt of arc light into iron chains, binding the man in front of him and fastening him tightly to a stone pillar in the tomb.
He squatted down, his voice steady, “To think, if I leave your body and the specific file to the Late Bell Church, what will be their reaction when they see the tomb looted?
If I rember correctly…
they all believe in so existence related to the ‘trident’.
I wonder if that existence could find your true self and crush it?”
Sweat appeared on Sandini Singh’s forehead.
With a hoarse voice, Xiao said, “I have been here…
for two months.
I followed the last group of Late Bell Church believers, and since you looked into the South Continent Church case, you should know…
Sandini Singh was originally a mber of the Late Bell Church, only the selection for the Northward Plan was quite strict, and only the most loyal believers were eligible.”
“Northward Plan?”
Gu Shen pondered.
“There are many churches in the Southern Continent with persistent strife and unrest.
To spread the doctrine and expand the scale, all churches choose to send priests out of the Southern Continent to plant ‘seedlings’ elsewhere.”
“This…
is the Northward Plan.”
…
