"very good."
The justice was stunned. He didn't expect Gu Shen's answer to be so straightforward.
This young man's performance has been extremely stable since he entered the scene...It is completely different from what was described in the file. He originally thought he was an introverted, shy, weak-minded little guy, but in fact it is completely the opposite, with careful thinking and calmness. His acting style, his childish face hides a heart as majestic as a lion.
"Then...continue."
Tang Qingquan slowly stretched out his palm, pushed the Ghost Cage in front of Gu Shen, and made a gesture of invitation.
He didn't deliberately embarrass Gu Shen.
In more than ten years in Yinghai District, he has single-handedly handled countless difficult cases, and has seen countless out-of-control people in extraordinary courts. Among them are extremely evil people who claim to be innocent, and some who are disguised as The perfect victim with a perfect dress... Over the years, sometimes when he looked at himself in the mirror, he felt strange.
He seems to no longer possess human emotions such as "kindness" and "sympathy". Everyone in the court can be emotional, but as the chief judge, he must maintain the final calmness and rationality.
From the moment I got Gu Shen's file.
He vaguely sensed that something was wrong... This was a doubt that he couldn't figure out the answer to, no matter how hard he thought, it was intuition, instinct telling him that this boy was definitely not as simple as the file said.
This review was not just about Gu Shen's potential.
So he insisted on letting Gu Shen complete the test of the third sealed artifact.
He wanted to use his ghost cage to see what the dark side of this young man's heart looked like.
The characteristics of the Ghost Cage are very simple.
The dreamer will see the darkest emotions in his heart in this lantern. The greater the evil thoughts, the more ghosts in the lantern will be and the more powerful they will be... The dreamer will be caged at the moment of awakening. Overwhelmed by inner ghosts, the only thing they can do is to use willpower to fight against their "evil thoughts."
That is...kill ghosts!
Although this trait sounds simple, it is actually extremely powerful.
The ghost transformed by evil thoughts in this lantern is not something that normal people can fight against.
Those who can kill their own evil thoughts in the "Cage of Ghosts" are truly extraordinary people with great perseverance.
…
…
Under the oil-paper outer skin of the lantern, there was a faint fire burning, as if there was a living person living inside, breathing slowly.
From the first glance, this lantern gives me a much stronger sense of oppression than the other two sealed objects!
He reached out and grasped the slender burden attached to the upper end of the lantern.
A "chi" sound.
The moment he touched the lantern, the flame in the inner core seemed to burst out of the oil paper outer cover, almost filling Gu Shen's field of vision.
This time I fell asleep, it was scarier than the previous two times.
And Gu Shen woke up faster than the previous two times.
The flames bursting out of the cage seemed to be an illusion, or a magic show. After the fireworks dissipated, Gu Shen stood in the boundless darkness, and the bottom of his feet seemed to be washed back and forth by the tide.
He was carrying a lantern, which was the only light in this world.
And the flame in the lantern is extinguishing little by little... The tide under the feet is rushing back and forth, with a tendency of rising tide.
After untying the green dice and the sand of time, Gu Shen's spirit was already quite tired.
He looked at the dark world, and an extremely strong sense of crisis emerged in his heart...
He subconsciously shouted: "Chu Ling——"
This time, before Gu Shen spoke, Chu Ling appeared one step ahead.
Countless dark codes spread like wings. Because the world is very dark, this code seems to have been born in this dreamland, and there is no trace of disorder or violation.
Chu Ling was suspended in the air, and with the voice calling his name, he gently put his hands on the young man's shoulders: "I'm here."
The flame of the lantern flickered wildly.
Gu Shen's face was solemn. He lowered his head, looked at his chest, and murmured: "I feel... something in my chest has been pulled out. Is it an illusion?"
"..."
Chu Ling did not answer directly. She said softly: "After interpreting two dreams, do you still have any energy left?"
Gu Shen shook his head. He was not trying to be brave: "I'm afraid it will be difficult for me alone. I have a hunch that this dream will be more dangerous than the previous two."
"The Ghost Cage... it was once an S-class sealed object, but it is now seriously damaged."
Chu Ling's voice was rare and solemn: "But even so, it is still more dangerous than the previous two dreams... the green dice and the sand of time combined!"
S-class sealed object?
Gu Shen's expression was tense... According to the level of danger, the tall lady he encountered on the light rail was only rated A.
A sealed object can actually reach an S-level danger rating?
While the two were talking.
The light of the lantern has almost been extinguished.
The tide on the soles of his feet was getting higher and higher. Gu Shen felt like he was being swallowed up by boundless darkness, while his calves were feeling cold. The tide had already reached this point and was still rising... At the same time, there was a pulling away feeling in his chest. It is getting stronger and stronger, as if there is a hand holding my heart. As the tide washes away, it exerts force step by step to pull out my soul from this body!
"When the lantern goes out, the evil spirit pours out."
The girl's voice echoed in the darkness: "The evil thoughts of a person are as strong as the ghost in the cage..."
Gu Shen took a deep breath, adjusted his condition, and at the same time responded to the pulling force on his soul.
Ask yourself, if you don't steal or rob, you can only be considered a treacherous person at best.
The evil ghost in the cage shouldn't be particularly powerful, right?
"Gu Shen, haven't you always been curious about what your extraordinary ability is?" Chu Ling spoke slowly and said, "Soon, you will be able to see it."
Next.
The last voice in the dead world is:
"laugh……"
The fire core was extinguished feebly.
The whole world fell into darkness, and at the same moment, the extremely dark world slowly lit up in another way.
In front of Gu Shen's eyes, a huge...
Vertical pupils.
This vertical pupil was like a scarlet sun, burning with an endless sea of blood-colored fire. The moment he opened his eyes, a strong impact vibrated, causing the lantern in Gu Shen's hand to burn to the ground in an instant.
Strong light exposure.
Gu Shen completely saw what the evil ghost in front of him looked like...
One vertical pupil after another lit up one after another in the distance.
The boundless tide actually flowed out from a huge mouth that was full. Gu Shen stood in front of the huge mouth, and the whole world seemed to be swallowed by evil spirits... But at this moment, in the huge mouth, Like locusts, soul bodies the size of babies are constantly rushing out.
The dream trembled violently, crumbling, and looked like it might collapse at any time.
Gu Shen looked pale.
Is this my own...evil thought?
This is simply hell on earth.
…
…
The review team fell into absolute silence.
Including the Lord Chancellor.
Everyone was staring at the dreaming boy holding a lantern with a ghostly look.
In the "Ghost Cage" in the real world, the flame in the inner core burns extremely vigorously, and even emits a scream like boiling water. The firelight splashes out, and is projected on the outer skin of the oil paper... reflecting one vertical one after another. Hitomi.
The vertical pupils are as scarlet as blood.
Each one is shocking.
And it just keeps emerging, emerging, emerging again, and finally stacking up... densely packed, densely packed.
Countless evil spirits smeared the lantern's surface with a thick layer.
The Ghost Cage can reflect the truth of the evil ghosts in dreams on its outer skin.
And this phenomenon... is the first time.
How evil is this?
Boundless! Almost swallowing up the entire dream world!
