When night fell, Gu Jianlin took a car to Shinjuku Gyoen Garden.
He once again disguised himself as the young master of the Si family, wearing a simple gold mask, a white shirt with black slim pants, and a pair of polished black leather shoes, giving him a sharp and capable temperament.
He greeted the security guard at the entrance politely, and inadvertently glanced deep in the garden. There was a noisy rhythm of life hidden in the seemingly quiet jungle. They were all ascendants from the Jiang family, and all of them were super-dimensional.
It is the largest Japanese garden in Tokyo. It is said that there are many French-style buildings. It was the residence of the Naito family in the Edo period. It was later managed by the Imperial Household Agency and is a national park under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of the Environment. Today it is still open to the public, but part of it has become private territory and belongs to the Jiang family.
"Don't look around. I know you have a wide range of life perceptions."
A young female voice came from the earphones: "These are Jiang Chunyang's personal guards. The old guy has been very wary since he was cursed, especially after your senior brother came to the door. He did not choose to take action, but hid directly in Shinjuku Gyoen Garden In the deepest part of the world, there is the alchemy field transformed by the Red King, known as the Land of Takamagahara."
She deliberately emphasized: "No one knows the effect of this alchemy field so far, but after the Red King defected, the first base established was in Tokyo, and the original Ether Association failed to invade."
A new shadow is using remote communication to guide his actions throughout the process.
This is the so-called novice tutorial.
This shadow's number is Wu, and he sounds like he is no more than ten years old.
The personality portrait is that of a young otaku hiding in a rental house. Her hair is as disheveled as a female ghost. She is curled up in an oversized sweater, her hands are clicking on the keyboard, and her toes are curled up.
"I see."
Gu Jianlin said calmly.
Shinjuku is known as the city that never sleeps. Even at six o'clock in the evening, this national park is still crowded with tourists from all over the world. The evening cherry blossoms fall on the quiet lake, causing ripples in the lake.
The chimes of the Awakening God Bell still echoed in the park, but the tourists were completely unaware of it.
Mr. Si and his subordinates walked toward him on crutches. They were dressed in elegant suits, like upper-class people visiting the imperial garden. They quietly merged into the crowd and came to the young man's side.
"coming."
The old man raised his hand and signaled with respectful eyes.
Gu Jianlin supported him, and the master and servant seemed to be in close harmony with each other, like grandparents and grandchildren.
"Uncle, have you passed the test of the Awakening God Bell?"
"Of course, it's not that difficult for me."
"You weren't affected, were you?"
"After all, I haven't done anything wrong. The threat of the Awakening Bell is just in vain."
"That's good."
It was clearly a conversation between uncle and nephew, but it seemed like it was being told to outsiders.
The former didn't have any other ideas. After all, he never regarded himself as an ancient supreme being.
Respecting the elderly and caring for the young is a traditional virtue of the great Eastern countries.
As for Mr. Si, he doesn’t think so. Now they have to play the role of a kind uncle and a filial nephew. He must act like a superior. This is not difficult for him. After all, the Si family is a dark place. One of the six major families in the world, and he is the undisputed head of the family.
The problem is that putting on a show in front of an ancient supreme being is really stressful.
Especially the thought of what he would do next made him even more frightened.
"I only give you this one chance to show off the momentum you had when you swallowed the blood of the ancient gods in front of me. If you lose the chain this time, you can consider where to buy a cemetery." Gu Jianlin said calmly.
This was a life-and-death moment. Mr. Si stood tall and raised his chest, as if he had become fifty years younger in one breath, returning to his peak years, when he had his hands in his pockets and was so arrogant that he didn't even know his last name.
Yes, he had seen an ancient supreme being who could still survive.
Jiang Chunyang has nothing to be afraid of!
Gu Jianlin silently listened to the sound coming from the headphones.
"I don't know what method you used to control the Si family. It would be great if they could cooperate with you. You are a young man, and your background is not enough after all. With your size, you cannot negotiate terms with the Jiang family. You need The Si family will support you behind your back, which will make your behavior more reasonable," Wu Hao said.
"You give me the feeling of being too weak."
Gu Jianlin tapped the microphone. This was the code he had just learned today.
"You're proficient in profiling, so I'm not surprised that you could discover this."
Wu Hao responded: "Taixu had a program change three years ago, and her thinking logic was programmed by me. Because the person who created Deep Space was the Red King, there is no guarantee that he will not leave behind some strange back-ups. "
Gu Jianlin was slightly startled. He didn't expect that this was really a hacker master.
The further we go into the imperial garden, the fewer tourists there become.
The father holding the child, the old man on crutches, the artist holding the drawing board, and the photographers carrying equipment all drifted away, as if disappearing into the night with the cool night breeze, and they were no more. sound.
Apparently they have entered a realm that only the Ascended can see.
No. 5 typed the code text and continued to guide: "Turn left ahead. Next you will see a non-staff member. He is not a core member of our department, but he is an excellent informant."
Gu Jianlin was a little surprised when he suddenly heard a dog barking.
There was a wooden kennel under the cherry blossom tree. A big golden retriever barked at him, stretched out on all fours and ran over, shaking its big furry tail, and seemed quite excited.
This is a very old dog. Its coat is no longer bright and bright, but is somewhat mottled and sparse. It also has a twilight-like feeling when running, as if it will fall apart at any time. But it still managed to run over, its dark eyes flashing with great joy, and it even made a whimpering sound.
Anyone who has ever owned a dog will know that this is what happens when a dog runs towards its owner.
The subordinates of the Si family wanted to scare away the dog, but the old man stopped them.
"This is a precious pioneering dog. In the ancient world of gods, this kind of dog with certain spirituality was occasionally used. Their spiritual genes have also changed, and they can smell the smell of corpses more than ten kilometers away. Youying Many people in the group wanted to raise it, but they were all rejected by it.”
Mr. Si sighed with emotion: "I don't know who raised this, but it has been here for eight years."
Gu Jianlin was stunned because he found that the golden retriever was always staring at him.
He even came close to him and sniffed carefully.
Soon the golden retriever was no longer excited, and his dark eyes showed sadness.
The tail no longer wags, but hangs down listlessly.
It went back to its kennel dejectedly, rummaging through some dog toys for something.
The sound of tapping the password came from the earphones, and Wu Hao explained to him: "The name of this dog is Ah Qi. It has only had one owner in its life, and that person is your father. Professor Gu is in the ancient god world Li adopted it, and finally left it here to guard a very important thing when he was on a mission in Tokyo.”
"Your father occasionally visits it a few times, but he hasn't come for four years now."
The frequency of her tapping paused slightly: "Maybe I can't wait any longer."
Gu Jianlin had already guessed it.
Ah Qi obviously mistook him for that man, so she was so excited at first.
Dogs have a very keen sense of smell, and they still smell different smells after all.
After a while, Ah Qi came to his feet holding an old rag doll in her mouth.
Gu Jianlin knelt down and stroked its head, then took the old stuffed doll.
Ah Qi squatted on the ground obediently, sticking out her tongue.
Gu Jianlin played with the doll and obviously touched something inside.
It's unbelievable that the shadows would entrust important things to a dog for safekeeping.
"It seems you are really an elite, senior."
Gu Jianlin shook hands with Jin Mao and said softly: "Do you want to come with me?"
Ah Qi shook his head, barked at him, turned around and returned to his kennel.
Under the dim street lights, its back was lonely and lonely, but it seemed to be freed.
Gu Jianlin was stunned again. He did not expect that he would be rejected.
"Ah Qi said that exploring the Ancient God Realm with your father was the happiest and proudest time in its life. It has completed the task your father left for it. Now it will continue to wait for it. If you can’t wait for the master to come back, then leave here and look for him yourself.”
There was a tapping sound from the headphones.
Gu Jianlin was silent for a moment and replied: "Can you understand dog language?"
At this time, Wu Hao revealed some of the little girl's emotions: "Spiritual animals can actually master human language, but they can't speak. It has its own way of expression, and as long as you are good at observing, you can understand it. I have taken care of it for two years, so of course I can understand it."
Gu Jianlin had mixed feelings in his heart.
Ah Qi definitely can't wait for its owner.
As for the so-called leaving here, it is not leaving in the true sense.
But death.
"Woof."
In the dark kennel, Ah Qi's cry came again.
Gu Jianlin looked up, and his golden-haired eyes seemed to shine brightly in the darkness.
"Ah Qi is blessing you. It has been waiting for many years without your father, but it has been waiting for you. It doesn't follow you because it is old and can no longer accompany you. It hopes that you can take care of yourself. "
Wu Hao typed the code text.
Gu Jianlin smiled silently.
For some reason, his pupils were a little moist.
It was clearly just a dog, but it gave him a feeling of respect.
He had rarely respected anyone before this.
"Is this inheritance?"
he asked suddenly.
Wu Hao replied: "Shadow is an organization that relies on faith to continue. We never expand externally and only look for our own spiritual continuation. For example, the previous generation Wu Hao adopted me, and I became his inheritance. Although Professor Gu He never trained you, but everything you still inherited became his inheritance.”
"What's my father's number?"
"Zero."
Gu Jianlin was silent for a long time and then asked: "What is your belief?"
No. 5 answered without hesitation: "What the president believes is our belief."
Gu Jianlin was quite surprised: "Do you trust the President so much?"
Wu Hao proudly replied: "Of course, the president is the greatest person in the world."
Gu Jianlin suddenly thought of something, frowned and asked: "I remember that there was a forced palace incident within the Ether Association. My father was a member of the Night Watch faction and was also a member of the rebellion."
Wu Hao replied again: "How do you think your father was willing to become a shadow? It was after that incident that your father discovered the truth. If you didn't sit in that position, you would never understand the helplessness and hardship. She has silently contributed to this world. The reason why this world still exists is because of her silent contribution for four hundred years. It is a pity that this world never thanks her and wants her to die."
Gu Jianlin fell into deep thought.
"The reason why all of us welcome you to join us is not only because of your father, but also because you found the eternal bones from the Sea of Eternal Life, and the President was able to survive."
No. 5 continued to type the code: "What I want to tell you next is why the president is so great, but everyone in the world wants her to die. It's not because people are stupid, but because of interests."
Benefit.
When Gu Jianlin heard this word, he had a bad feeling.
"You should know that the golden age of the human world was started by Qing and Chi. This is because Qing and Chi made amazing discoveries in the depths of the universe two hundred years ago. The purpose of the original Starry Sky Project was to explore ancient times. The real secret of the God Clan, and for this god-like race, the most important thing is the two supreme laws, namely the Law of Candlelight and the Law of Nether Ying. This corresponds to the two sacred beasts in ancient mythology .”
A rhythmic tapping sound came from the earphones: "The sun is shining and the moon is shining."
Gu Jianlin hummed.
"So far we have not been able to figure out why the two supreme laws of the ancient gods can be practiced by humans, but the ancient gods themselves are inaccessible. Including the corresponding two supreme holy objects, it was thought that they were recorded in ancient times Myths and legends in the ancient books of the gods. If not for the discovery of Qing and Chi, people may not know until today that the so-called breath of heaven and man is one of the two supreme laws."
The beat of the trumpet is getting faster and faster: "Including the later discovery of the Youying Law, it also confirms the opposition between the two supreme laws. The problem is that both of these two supreme laws have certain problems. Because after research It proves that the inheritance of the two supreme laws is almost exactly the same as that of the ancient gods."
Gu Jianlin suddenly thought of a paper he had read on the official website of Deep Space.
The Ancient Gods had an evolutionary chain.
The first ones born in the universe were the ancient supreme beings, and their respective clans were derived from them.
They would use their own bones and blood to create the first ancestors.
The ancestor then used his own divine essence to create the ancestor.
This is a complete chain of evolution.
Of course, there are also powerful ancestors who can obtain the bones and blood of the ancient supreme being.
Thus evolving into the ancestor.
But no ancestor can become the ancient supreme.
If the inheritance of the two laws of Zhuzhao and Youying is the same as that of the ancient gods, then there will be a problem here.
Gu Jianlin pondered for a moment: "What you mean is that the person who first practiced the Supreme Law is equivalent to opening up an evolutionary chain. In this evolutionary chain, her status is the highest, and her status is equivalent to the ancient supreme being. . If you want to pass it on to the next generation, you must use your own bones and blood."
This time Wu Hao was silent for a long time.
"Your thinking and logic are very rigorous, no wonder you are favored by the President."
Wu Hao beat the beat and replied: "Your analysis is indeed correct, but it is not complete. Now I want to ask you a question, what is the real gap between humans and the ancient gods?"
It only took Gu Jianlin a second to think of the answer.
life!
"Yes, human lifespan has a limit, but the ancient supreme beings are immortal. No matter what the ancient ancestors did, they could never become true supremes. This is an undisputed iron rule. Just like you now Just as you are still alive, no one can say you are dead, this rule is so absolute."
Wu Hao explained: "Human beings are different. Everyone will die, and President Qiang is no exception."
Gu Jianlin felt his blood run cold, and even the hand tapping the microphone trembled slightly: "In other words, the president can be replaced, as long as someone can usurp her power."
"Yes, the president herself has no objection to this, because she does not need to use her own bones and blood to create existences weaker than her. If the human world wants to continue, someone must replace her. "
Wu Hao replied: "What really chills her is that some people can't wait."
Gu Jianlin asked curiously: "Who?"
The sound of the trumpet's knocking became a little louder: "The Red King."
"Why the Red King?"
Gu Jianlin walked up the stone steps in the park, with the ancient red torii gate stretched across his head.
Deep in the imperial garden is an ancient shrine, with wind chimes swaying in the evening breeze.
Priests in red robes stood on both sides of the steps. They were all the Jiang family's retinues that they had seen the night before.
There was a faint roar of ancient clocks.
That's the awakening bell.
A shrill wail resounded from the old shrine. Apparently, those who had been betrayed by the dark world exposed their secrets under the shock of the bell, and were executed on the spot and punished to death.
Mr. Si narrowed his eyes, played with the copper coins, and said lightly: "It's so crazy."
Gu Jianlin nodded slightly, feeling the rhythms of life disappearing one after another.
"Because the Red King lost to the Blue King. In addition to their differences in ideas, Qing and Red were also fighting for the end of an evolutionary chain. This is why they did not choose to become heavenly beings."
Wu Hao's answer was as blunt as iron: "Proud as green and red, naturally you don't want to be inferior to others."
Gu Jianlin's pupils suddenly shrank.
I see.
No wonder neither Qing nor Chi chose to become celestial beings.
The Red King failed to stand at the end of an evolutionary chain and could only seek the end of another road!
There can only be one end of an evolutionary chain.
This information is too important.
"The original King of Red and the King of Blue fought in Buzhou Mountain. In the end, this unprecedented battle ended with Qing's victory, and Chi was buried in the abyss. The battle was too complicated, and there were many forces involved. intervention."
Wu Hao said: "Everyone thought that the Blue King won, and the fact was that he did win. But according to our investigation, it is very likely that the Red King died on Mount Buzhou on purpose."
