Barrier of Light

"Ms. Jiang, I think you need to explain..."

Half an hour later, only two people were left alone in the cubicle.

Gu Shen said seriously: "What on earth is going on?"

The hypnotic treatment has been completed. He removed everyone's mental imprints and sent these old city residents back to the minibus... Obviously all this was not a coincidence. No one could happen to collect a car full of sealed objects. Illnesses affecting consciousness.

Introducing customers is fake, but causing trouble is real.

But the reason why Gu Shen chose to sit down and have a serious chat with Jiang Wan... was rather simple. He remembered that during the last Sumo Stone Sculpture incident, Hu Danian mentioned that Cui Zhongcheng was insinuating Jiang Wan. Maybe this woman was someone related to the Huazhi Group?

He hoped to hear words like "I am the commissioner sent by Cui Zhongcheng" from this woman.

But it's a pity.

Things are not what they think they are.

"sorry……"

Jiang Wan's expression was a little complicated. She apologized seriously, "Dr. Xiao Gu, because you cured me last time, so... I sent them here. Did it cause you trouble?"

With the blessing of blazing fire, Gu Shen can feel a person's emotional fluctuations.

This is an ordinary person without the ability to awaken.

Joy, anger, sorrow, and joy cannot be hidden from one's own eyes.

"Where did these people come from?"

"Old City." Jiang Wan's expression gradually became serious, and she said seriously: "I don't know why, but some residents in the Old City began to show this symptom. Their consciousness was chaotic and unexamined, like a wooden person... Seeing their situation The first time I thought of you."

If I remember correctly.

Jiang Wan is a rich lady living in the wealthy area of ​​Nanwan...how could she notice people in the old city?

"Miss Jiang..." Gu Shen asked hesitantly, "What do you do?"

"Reporter. Reporter from Dadu Evening News."

Jiang Wan took out her ID. She was very keen and understood the meaning of Gu Shen's hesitation. She explained in a low voice: "The house in Nanwan was bought by my family, and I found the reporter's job myself..."

She earnestly pleaded: "There are still some patients over there in the old city. These are the address information sheets we collected... Doctor Xiao Gu, why don't you go over there and take a look? Just think of it as helping them."

"..."

Gu Shen was silent for a moment and asked softly: "Miss Jiang, is your family related to Huazhi?"

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Wan was startled.

She thought for a long time and said seriously: "My parents are shareholders of Huazhi's board of directors..."

Sure enough, the rich young lady.

"I will go... on the condition that you stop getting involved in this matter." Gu Shen had a headache and said softly, "When you go back, do whatever you need to do."

Of course, this sentence also uses the hypnotic power of Blazing Fire.

Wait until people leave.

Gu Shen immediately dialed Cui Zhongcheng's number... After drinking with Crow last time, while the other party was drunk and unconscious, he quickly got Mr. Cui's contact information.

Sure enough, it came in handy in just two days.

After the call is made.

"I'm Gu Shen."

Gu Shen got straight to the point and said, "Is the spiritual contamination of the sealed objects in the old city considered part of the investigation?"

The person on the phone fell into silence, obviously a little surprised, both surprised that Gu Shen had obtained his contact information, and also surprised by the "sealed artifact pollution" mentioned by the latter.

But soon, Cui Zhongcheng gave a reply.

"...It doesn't count."

His voice was a little solemn, "Is there seal pollution in the old city? I will send someone to check...how did you know?"

Ah!

It turns out that Mr. Xiao Cui is not omniscient. When Gu Shen heard this reply, he couldn't help but think so.

He told Jiang Wan what happened.

"Jiang Wan is not an extraordinary person. She is indeed a reporter from Dadu Evening News, but her personality is very willful."

"And...her parents are indeed shareholders of Huazhi Director, and they have a lot of say." After Cui Zhongcheng listened, he calmly explained: "So during the last Sumo Stone Sculpture incident, I entrusted someone to give it to her Tip...I didn’t expect that she would find you. This time, I will tell her parents and ask them to take good care of their daughter."

"Jiang Wan will not participate. I hypnotized her."

Gu Shen said: "Since you can handle this matter, then I will not participate."

"...Wait a minute."

When the phone was hung up, Cui Zhongcheng suddenly asked.

"Have you been to the Old Town lately?"

Gu Shen fell silent for a moment.

As far as he knew, there were no clues left about the beating of Zhao Qi.

But the person asking the question was Cui Zhongcheng, so he was a little unsure.

So he kept silent and pretended that his signal was not good. In front of a person like Cui Zhongcheng, any answer might be exposed if he was not careful.

"Hu Danian has been following Shi Li." Cui Zhongcheng said calmly: "During this period, Shi Li has been near the old city... Chengxinhui Nantang has not arranged a task. The only explanation is that he has his own arrangements. I suspect The big fish behind the Long-Term Foundation is real and is about to surface."

Hearing this explanation, Gu Shen felt relieved.

Zhao Qi will not expose this trouble. It seems that Cui Zhongcheng is not aware of it at the moment.

"Hey...are you still there?"

"Sorry... the signal was not very good just now." Gu Shen spoke again and frowned: "Shi Li is also in the old city?"

"That's right."

Cui Zhongcheng said: "Every night late at night, after about ten o'clock, he would go to the old city. The old city has complex terrain and is blocked from surveillance. There is no way to track in detail what he did. All Hu Danian can do is record the time points. "

After listening to this, Gu Shen was thoughtful.

If... During this period of time, I would go to the old city at night.

So he was also in the old city on the day he beat Zhao Qi?

The shabby places with nooks and crannies like the old city have long been eliminated, but not many extraordinary people would go there.

This doesn't seem to be explained by coincidence.

Cui Zhongcheng said calmly: "Regardless of whether the contamination of Shi Li and the sealed artifact is a coincidence or not, I think you have to go to the old city for the mission."

"I……"

Gu Shen just spoke.

"Thank you for your hard work, it's settled." Cui Zhongcheng hung up the phone: "I will send someone to pick you up when the time comes."

…

…

at dusk.

The people arranged by Cui Zhongcheng were waiting at the door of Meiyu Zhe.

Hu Danian was wearing a tight-fitting suit with rough and sharp lines. He was riding a motorcycle and wearing a heavy helmet. He patted the back seat of Gu Shen and motioned for him to sit on it.

Gu Shen was startled when he saw Hu Danian's outfit, and subconsciously thought of the "wonderful night" not long ago.

He said silently in his heart again.

Cui Zhongcheng shouldn't know about the Zhaoqi attack, right?

"We meet again?" Hu Danian laughed loudly: "Come on, come on, get in the car!"

On the way to the old town——

The wind howled.

The motorcycle was going fast.

The helmet has a built-in voice link system.

"I went to the old city during the day and visited several households with mental disorders." Hu Danian's voice came from the helmet: "These people are like fools, sitting at home blankly, not knowing anything about anything. I asked for some useful information, but I did hear an interesting story from a neighbor. Just the night before yesterday, there was a fight in the old city, and it was said that shots were fired. The fight was so fierce that the wall collapsed. Two, and the street lights collapsed... I just don’t know what happened in the end, and whether anyone was killed.”

Hearing this, Gu Shen felt guilty and quickly changed the topic.

"What's the progress of Shi Li's case?"

"There is no progress at all... That guy is like a loach. Every time he sneaks into the alleys of the old city, he disappears." Hu Danian had a severe headache and said helplessly, "You also know that sincerity can be divided into north and south. Now the relationship between the two parties is in trouble. It was very stiff, and I didn’t dare to follow too closely... This guy is very tyrannical. He is known as a tough guy with strong attack skills. He is also secretly a lunatic from the Jiujiu Foundation. Who knows what he will do if he is caught being followed? "

"Too."

Gu Shen nodded secretly.

In fact, this was also my original plan.

Approach slowly and investigate slowly.

"Mr. Cui asked me to investigate the sealed objects in the old city with you." Hu Danian said with a smile: "But I didn't see any heavy fog... Could it be that you made a mistake?"

Gu Shen shook his head.

He was certain about this.

Even if he is an extraordinary spiritual person on the tenth level of the deep sea, he is not as sharp as himself in terms of characteristics.

"Let me know in advance that my abilities are limited. I can only help a little bit with this case of sealed artifacts in the old city..."

Gu Shen said: "That is to explore the location of the sealed object and mark it."

He once again solemnly reminded: "According to my guess, this should be a C-level extraordinary sealed object, and the radiation range is probably a block. After marking the location, I will not participate in subsequent missions."

"Okay. No problem, just leave it to me." Hu Danian said with a hearty smile: "I am very cautious in doing things. I always observe first before taking action, and resolutely implement the idea of ​​​​running away if I can't defeat... It's just a C-level sealed artifact, I’ve already contained more than a dozen of them, so relax!”

…

…

After arriving in the old town.

Gu Shen visited the residents one by one according to Jiang Wan's address information sheet... In their minds, Gu Shen almost completely put together the puzzle of the entire foggy dreamland.

The life trajectories of these people are like tiny ink dots that fall on the map and spread into circles. The intersections overlap and spread, and eventually a blank area... is slowly surrounded.

This is where the fog in the dream lies.

Kite Street.

The old city is located on the edge of the metropolis, and not every block is inhabited. Yuan Dan Street is an abandoned street. No one usually passes by, and most of the streets are abandoned and idle factories.

Gu Shen found this area on the map of the old city, slowly circled it, and packaged the entire map and sent it to Hu Danian.

"receive!"

Hu Danian turned the throttle and waved goodbye to Gu Shen. The roar of the motorcycle disappeared into the alleys of the old city.

Gu Shenze came to the waiting place assigned by Hu Danian alone and waited silently for nightfall.

He was waiting for Shi Li to appear.
