"That's pretty much what happened...that's pretty much it."
The wind was blowing.
The curtains fluttered gently.
There was a crackling sound in the window with a crack open, and the coolness of autumn seeped into the house. It was already evening, and the lights were not turned on in the room, so it was dim and a bit depressing.
Hu Danian looked at the scene in the room silently.
It's hard to believe that a terrorist explosion just occurred here. According to Gu Shen's description, the explosives at that time could have blown up half of Lipu Street... But with so much explosives, not even a single photo in this room could be blown away. The paper was not shattered.
The room is clean and tidy, and warm enough for sleep.
Gu Shen sat on the chair and said softly: "In short, the matter has been resolved. Don't ask for more details... You can report to Cui Zhongcheng this way: I used my ability to suppress the explosion."
Hu Danian looked meaningfully at the young man sitting behind the table with a gentle and sincere expression on his face. Now his first impression of Gu Shen has completely changed... Originally, he only thought that this was a newcomer who was just a little smart. Fortunately, Got the attention of Mr. Xiao Cui.
Now he felt that everything was no accident. This was definitely a monster-level transcendent who was secretly cultivated.
How powerful an extraordinary person can suppress this level of explosive yield?
Anyway, I can’t do it!
"Don't worry, little monster, I'm not interested in your information... I'm only responsible for completing Mr. Cui's mission."
Hu Danian clicked his tongue and sighed: "The incident with the Riverside Murderer made me unable to get a good night's sleep for several days. I finally feel at peace today."
He brought a bronze safe that looked very old. The cabinet was not big, and an adult could easily hug it, enough to put down this pocket stone sculpture. After opening it, you will find that if you look closely, you will find that the inside of this bronze cabinet is plated. Covered with a red crystal-like coating.
He put on black gloves, and there was also a thin layer of red gold plating on the surface of the gloves.
"What is this?" Gu Shen asked with a frown.
"This layer of gold-plated material is called 'red silver', a strong logical material." Hu Danian answered concisely and concisely. At the same time, he carefully picked up the stone sculpture and put it into the safe. The whole process was extremely slow and cautious, and he did not wait until the safe was closed. He breathed a sigh of relief and patiently explained in detail: "Different sealed objects need to be stored in different ways. Sealed objects like the 'Sumu Stone Sculpture' that can autonomously emit malice cannot be tamed, so they need to be completely Isolation, generally speaking, the use of red and silver materials for sealed objects below A level can suppress extraordinary characteristics."
In fact, the moment he heard the strong logic material... Gu Shen roughly understood the principle.
The transcendent is the power of disorder that destroys logic.
And strong logic materials... are mostly special substances that suppress extraordinary properties.
"What about A-level and above?" Gu Shen asked again.
"There will be more special materials. In fact, red silver is very easy to use. It can be synthesized artificially, and the effect is not bad, so it is used on a large scale to store sealed objects... I have heard that there are many special materials for storing high-sequence sealed objects. They cannot be synthesized." Hu Danian shrugged, "With my level, I probably will never encounter that kind of sealed object in my life, right?"
Having said this, he glared at Gu Shen: "You kid...why do you have so many questions?"
"As you know... I'm a newcomer." Gu Shen scratched his head and smiled, then quickly changed the subject: "After taking away the Sumu Stone Sculpture, will the mission be considered completed?"
"Um."
Hu Daqing responded softly and looked at his watch, "Next, take back the sealed artifact and report to Mr. Cui. The task will be considered completed. By the way...these two people next door...?"
He pointed to the side through the wall.
Xiaoxinjie and Qu Shui...the two were still asleep in their dreams.
"In half an hour, they will almost wake up. They don't know about this, so they can be regarded as victims." Gu Shen said calmly: "People who have been deprived of their dreams by solemn stone sculptures will feel even more tired in the near future, even if they recover. A little sleep will be good for your health.”
Since you don't know, then there is no need for special treatment.
Hu Danian nodded, picked up the bronze cabinet, "Okay, I'll leave if nothing happens."
"Wait a minute..."
Gu Shen stopped him, slowly raised his head, and said seriously: "I want to meet Cui Zhongcheng."
During the conversation by the lake, Gu Shen had a good impression of Cui Zhongcheng.
But this time... After he entered the game, Gu Shen's view of Cui Zhongcheng completely changed.
The gentle conversation at the lakeside was all a lie. Most of his front feet landed on the ground, and his back feet were thrown out as bait. The assassination just now, if he hadn't reacted quickly enough and responded accurately, would have been cold...
With such indifference and ruthlessness, no wonder even the big shots on the review team are afraid of him.
Even if you are investigating a fire case, you wouldn't use such an extreme method, right?
Gu Shen was now holding back his anger and wanted to confront Cui Zhongcheng face to face.
After hearing this, Hu Danian turned around helplessly.
"As far as I know, Mr. Xiao Cui is very busy." He looked at Gu Shen strangely: "Didn't he give you his contact information?"
"..."
Gu Shen fell silent for a moment.
He suddenly realized that Cui Zhongcheng had not given him his contact information from the time they met at the lakeside until the plane landed.
"That means he doesn't want to see you." Seeing Gu Shen's reaction, Hu Danian grinned secretly, "Mr. Xiao Cui is a very thoughtful person. He always does things without revealing anything. If he didn't give you his contact information, , then I must not want to see you. But... for the sake of friendship on this mission, I will mention it when reporting the progress, but the ugly words are ahead, and there is a high probability that he will ignore it. "
Gu Shen's expression was stiff and he could only knock down his teeth, swallow it in his stomach and nod.
I am full of anger now...Is this also part of Cui Zhongcheng's calculation?
After Hu Danian left.
The house fell into silence again.
Gu Shen let out a long sigh. He raised his arm with difficulty, feeling the soreness and numbness in his palm spreading to all parts of his body.
From afternoon to evening, I sat on the chair without moving, maintaining this posture for several hours... not because of laziness, but because activating the Rule of Truth this time still consumed a lot of mental energy.
Energy in the material world is conserved.
To suppress high explosives of this magnitude, the mental power consumed by the Ruler of Truth... is extremely huge.
At that time, Gu Shen, who was holding the ruler and immersed in the state of domination, didn't feel anything. It was only when the power of the ruler dissipated and the fanatical Jiujiu Foundation believer was blown away that there was no powder left, that he felt something was wrong.
Standing on the top of a mountain, the higher you stand, the more painful it will be when you fall into the clouds.
Three or four hours passed before the soreness and numbness slowly dissipated.
But I have to say... practicing the Jingzhe Breathing Technique has greatly improved Gu Shen's mental strength. If he had used the ruler like this twenty days ago, he would have fallen into a deep sleep immediately after falling into the clouds.
Gu Shen slowly stretched out his hand and brought back the white paper that had not been destroyed in the explosion in front of him.
He turned on the desk lamp, and the desk was illuminated by light.
There was a painting on the white paper. With a few strokes, an innocent girl holding a book was outlined.
Gu Shen looked at the simple drawing he had drawn and couldn't help but laugh in a low voice.
He slowly touched the girl on the paper with his fingers and said in a very soft voice: "It's been ten days... I don't know how you are doing."
He took out a notebook of the same style as Cui Zhongcheng from the inside of his clothes.
In this era, many people have abandoned paper and pens, but Gu Shen has not. When the Sleeper is working, he will take time every day to organize his thoughts in this notebook.
"November 17th, sunny. It's the tenth day since Chu Ling disconnected. I hope she goes well and is safe."
"A lot happened today..."
"The case of group insomnia on Lipu Street was investigated, the Sumu stone sculptures were recovered, and those who lost control were punished."
"Cui Zhongcheng's guess is correct. It is the Jiujiu Foundation who wants to kill me. They will not give up. If the mastermind behind the scenes is not caught, there may be another group, and the next group... I can't sit still and wait for death. I must Take action..."
Write this.
Gu Shen's thoughts were a little stagnant. At this moment, someone knocked on the door.
It should be Miss Xin, or Qu Shui has woken up.
Gu Shen clenched his fist, and the soreness and numbness almost completely dissipated.
He put away his notebook, sat upright and said, "Please come in."
