In fact, Gu Jianlin didn't even know what kind of mood he had when he opened the door.
It was a dilapidated room. The walls had not even been painted. The red bricks and the mud knots in the cracks between the bricks were exposed. It was obvious that no one had come in for a long time. When the air began to circulate, dust came to the face.
There was only an old wooden table in the room, a ballpoint pen, and scattered documents.
In addition, there is a circled world map on the wall and a chair with a broken leg.
Gu Jianlin stretched out his hand and stroked the rough tabletop, and there was a lot of dust on his fingers.
Those circles on the map may be places where the man has been.
He has traveled all over the world, and he has never even heard of some small and remote countries.
Gu Jianlin looked at the documents scattered on the table again. There were only three documents in total, covered with dust.
The handwriting is really ugly, it's that guy's style, and ordinary people may not be able to recognize this kind of sloppy writing.
"On July 13, 2019, the corpse at the Gate of Hell in Kunlun was confirmed to be one of the three giants of the Ether Association, codenamed Guangming. The person who killed him was suspected to be a Supreme. This is not a good thing, Ether The power structure of the association is about to change. At the same time, I received news that Rhine has become the new giant, sitting in the east."
"I know that life will be difficult for degenerates all over the world from now on. Although degenerates will show extreme aggression after being contaminated, there is nothing to sympathize with. But some people never do anything even if they degenerate. Never do anything harmful to nature. For example, Brother Mu, he would rather take Tianshengcao than harm others..."
"I think I have to do something for them, at least find a way for them to survive. Although this may ruin my future, Brother Mu brought me into the Night Watch and was my benefactor. Man, Can’t be ungrateful.”
"Brother Mu's daughter Wanwan is so cute. I think I haven't seen my son for a long time, and I miss him a little. Although I can only see his paralyzed face when I go back, I still miss him very much."
"But I can't go back. I still haven't figured out the last bit of the logic of the curse. If the curse can be avoided by not becoming an ascendant, then I will try not to appear in front of him."
"What a pity. I have traveled all over the world over the years and accumulated a lot of treasures. But it doesn't matter. Although I can't give it to him directly, I can leave it to others. If one day I am gone, they can help me protect him."
"But with his character, he probably doesn't need protection from others. I still remember that he was bullied in elementary school. I wanted to avenge him angrily, but the next day I heard about the bad guys who bullied him. The child was slapped in the alley. Hahaha, I am really impressed by this guy!"
"I'm sorry, Minister, I'm off topic. You know I used to be an author, and I'm used to being watery when writing. It seems that I'm really getting older, and I miss my son and ex-wife more and more."
"Based on my investigation, what we have long suspected has finally been confirmed."
"The ancient gods are a special race from the deep space of the universe. The ones we have fought so far are only the ancient gods at the ancestor level. And above the ancestor level, there are ancient gods at the ancestor level. Above the ancestor level, that is the Supreme! "
"We have always misjudged the power of the ancient gods. At least as far as the Supremes are concerned, their strength is far more than this. They have to find a new habitat because the world they originally lived in was shattered."
"Every supreme being should have the ability to devour the entire planet. Once they are restored to their peak state, all human resistance will be in vain. Even natural disaster-level sublimated ones cannot resist that kind of power."
"Guangming probably died at the hands of a supreme being. His body was split into countless small pieces. It took me and my little apprentice to fight for seven days and seven nights to put him together. According to my profile, Guangming When he died, the time and space he was in was shattered. This was the authority of Lord Zhulong, and the path to slaying ghosts came from him."
"The bad news is that there is still a living Supreme Being in the human world."
"The good news is that in the human world, there is not the kind of energy that the ancient gods need. Therefore, they cannot exert the power of their heyday in the real dimension, and they cannot even manifest their own bodies."
"Humanity is not without hope, because even the Supreme cannot use his full strength in the human world."
The first document ends abruptly here and is probably an abandoned draft.
If you really want to report to your boss, you won’t talk so much nonsense.
For Gu Jianlin, the amount of information here is not small.
In the world of the ancient gods, there are three major classes.
Ancestor, ancestor, supreme.
And the supreme power possessed by the Supreme One can even swallow the planet!
Until this moment, Gu Jianlin didn't know what kind of power he had received.
Of course, the existence of another supreme being, the power of Qilin in his body is extremely weak.
It takes a long time to develop.
But the upper limit is unquestionable.
After all, Lord Candle Dragon was even able to kill a giant of the Aether Association.
If he guessed correctly, the three giants of the Ether Association should be the top among human beings.
As for the fact that the ancient gods were restricted in reality, he had already guessed it.
And it’s a personal experience.
Gu Jianlin shook up the second document and his expression became particularly serious.
"On September 3, 2020, Rhine, one of the three giants of the Ether Association, announced that he had observed the dimensional anchor point of Qilin Immortal Palace, which is located on the coast of the East China Sea, not far from Fengcheng. This coincidence makes me feel a little uneasy."
"The place where Brother Mu and the others encountered pollution when they dived happened to be the East China Sea! The one who ordered a thorough investigation was also Rhine! I wonder if he knew something? What happened to Brother Mu in the first place? Why did he lose his memory again?"
"Boss, the exploration project of Qilin Immortal Palace has encountered a bottleneck now. Let me participate in the investigation. Qilin Immortal Palace is too close to my wife and children. If any accident occurs, I can take care of it."
"Please boss, I can't let anything happen to my wife and children."
Gu Jianlin looked solemn as he flipped through the third document.
"On January 1, 2022, the new year has arrived, and I returned from the outskirts of Qilin Immortal Palace. It is really dangerous here. There are large ruins in the walled city, and there are even higher-level ruins deep in the forbidden area. I I was a little hurt because they came to me in the form of my son. I wanted to see more of my son, but I didn’t do anything for a while.”
"Actually, I should have done it. I thought the number of disasters was small, but I didn't expect there were so many. In just one hour, I killed more than forty sons. No wonder fathers like to beat their sons. It's really fun. Only It's a pity that boy has been obedient since he was a child and didn't give me a chance to try. I can only enjoy the ruins."
"I have confirmed one thing. The blood of the ancient gods cannot be used indiscriminately. With the physical condition of Brother Mu and the others, they cannot withstand the baptism of the blood of the ancient gods. That kind of power will directly burst their bodies, or cause them to directly enter severe distortion. state."
"Even if Brother Mu and the others took the blood of the ancient gods when they were first contaminated, it might not be a good thing. The blood of the ancient gods can extend their lives and give them great power, but it will also make them slaves. .”
"Once the ancient gods who created the blood of the ancient gods are still in the real world, their existence will be immediately sensed. The spiritual will of the ancient gods can directly control them, and they will never be able to transcend it forever."
"But I accidentally learned of a certain secret medicine formula that might be able to save their lives, although the cost is that they lose all their spirituality and become ordinary people. But it's better than this, living like a ghost. It’s better to go down.”
"I will find a way to continue to search for this secret medicine formula and let Wanwan live in the sun as soon as possible."
"I have found hope for the wonderful things, but I still have no clue about the cursed things."
"I'm over 40 years old, so I may not have much time left."
"I'm sorry, son. Dad is useless. Dad is sorry for you."
In silence, Gu Jianlin put down the three documents in his hand.
The huge darkness oppressed him, almost making him breathless, and he could only retreat step by step.
Because he saw a mark scratched by nails on the wooden table, and there were still mottled and solidified blood stains.
He seemed to be able to imagine that many years ago, a man came to Black Cloud City Walled City and built this secret base underground. He could only pass the time writing reports during many lonely nights, missing in the darkness, and grieving in loneliness. .
Although there is a relaxed and freehand tone between the lines.
But that sad scratch at the end revealed too much despair.
When Gu Cian was in his forties, he seemed to have had a premonition of his death.
The reason why he came back in such a hurry that day was because he knew that he was being hunted.
He wanted to run away with his son.
In the end, the fateful nightmare came as expected.
At this time, he found someone gently poking his hand.
"Big brother."
Wanwan opened her smart eyes: "Is Uncle Gu okay? When will he come back?"
Gu Jianlin lowered her head, her eyes as clear and shining as stars in the dark night.
This little girl should have guessed his identity a long time ago.
That's why I kept looking at him secretly.
Maybe there are a lot of things I want to ask him.
He squatted down, was silent for a second, and said softly: "I don't know either, but he should be doing well, right? If he knows that you are still caring about him, he should be very happy."
Wanwan tilted her head curiously: "Don't you know either?"
Gu Jianlin smiled silently: "Well, just like your father, he was slandered, hunted, and then fled. But you don't have to worry, he went to a place where no one can find him. ,very safe."
When Wanwan heard what he said, she felt much more at ease.
But there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
Gu Jianlin asked softly: "Are you waiting for him to come back?"
Wanwan nodded vigorously and said softly: "Because we are leaving here, and I'm afraid he will never find us again."
Gu Jianlin raised his hand and touched her hair.
Although she lives in a basement and her hair is a bit dry and yellow, it feels pretty good.
Wanwan lowered her head and did not hide.
"Did he promise you something?"
Gu Jianlin asked softly: "You told me the same thing."
Wan Wan shook her head, her ponytail swaying.
She trotted away and came back with an ugly wooden sculpture in her arms.
Well, I can only vaguely tell that he is a man.
"I carved this with my own hands."
She took out a crystal pendant as deep as violet from her clothes and said seriously: "Uncle Gu gave me this pendant, saying it can protect my safety. I promised him that I will give it to him when he comes back next time. He returned the favor."
Gu Jianlin looked at the ugly wooden sculpture.
He took another look at the little girl's little hands, which were covered in calluses and scars.
Then he clenched his hands silently.
Because he knew that man would never come back.
"Brother, can you help me give this wooden sculpture to him?"
Wanwan blinked her eyes and asked innocently.
Gu Jianlin was silent for a second, then rubbed her head and whispered: "It's okay. If nothing happens, he will come back to see you one day. When the time comes, you can hand it over to him personally."
Wanwan looked at him blankly for a second and said oh.
At this time, there was a roar outside the basement, and someone stumbled in.
"Boss!"
He was a thin young man, and he was not disabled, but he was covered in blood and bruised.
"Something happened! A group of investigators from the association came outside. They seemed to have been wiped out by the Gravedigger organization. Now the black fog has dispersed. Hasegawa Shinichi is going to lead people into the depths of the restricted area and capture our people. Be a guinea pig.”
The man vomited blood as he spoke. He knelt down weakly on the ground and leaned on his body with a knife: "The supplies we collected outside for three days were also taken away. Sister Qing Ge was arrested by them in order to protect us."
When the old man heard this, his expression became extremely solemn, and the hand holding the long knife made a crackling sound.
There was a snap.
Wanwan sat down on the ground, tears falling down.
Gu Jianlin walked out of the room, frowning.
I don’t know who that Sister Qingge is.
But judging from the expressions on the father and daughter's faces, they must also be very important people.
"Sorry kid, the person who delivered the medicine to your companion has been arrested by the Gravedigger organization."
The old man stood up with a long knife and said gently: "That is my second daughter, Wan Wan's sister. Now I will lead people to rescue her. You and your friends just wait here."
After the words fell, many people in the shelter opened their eyes, put on their clothes expressionlessly, and picked up weapons.
Even the crippled Uncle Sun at the door took out two guns from his arms.
Gu Jianlin thought about the documents his father left behind and took another look at these people.
Especially this old man, who should be the Brother Mu mentioned by his father.
Also a benefactor.
"I'll go with you."
Gu Jianlin said calmly.
The old man stared into his eyes, smiled silently, and said: "I accept your intention, but we are degenerates. It is better not to appear with us. This will affect your future. You need to remember , the power structure in the association changed a few years ago, and now there is a lot of internal fighting."
"You are Lao Gu's son, so your talent is definitely good. You must go to the headquarters."
He said: "Once you enter the headquarters, no one can target you or exclude you."
Gu Jianlin didn't say anything, but walked straight past the old man and walked outside.
"It doesn't matter, my future... cannot be blocked by the Aether Association."
He said calmly: "Find me a chair and I will kill Hasegawa Shinichi."
