Barrier of Light

"Tick tock."

"Tick tock."

Blood falls.

Gu Shen held the ruler, wiped his cheek with the other hand, the fire was raging, the only door leading to the rooftop had been smashed, as for the person who smashed the door... now on the rooftop All directions from southeast to northwest.

Time slowed down.

One second, to Gu Shen, seemed as long as an hour.

He can clearly see the angle of every sheet flying on the roof, every moment of the flames flying past, everything he can see clearly, and he can perceive all living creatures around him.

After holding the ruler of truth, the mind becomes clear, but it also becomes numb.

This power is not so much a gift from the gods as it is a deal with the devil... When you hold the power and stare at the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you.

The orange cat calmed down, without saying a word, and stood on Gu Shen's shoulder like a sparrow. Its eyes were shining with ever-changing fluorescence, observing Gu Shen at this moment.

【"This person is dead."】

Gu Shen looked at the messy door panels and blood clots in front of him, and a thought came to his mind.

【"I did it..."】

A lengthy confusion ensued.

【"What?"】

During the long period of time, countless thoughts were cut, repeated inquiries, and the answers obtained were all the same.

【"He killed himself."】

Gu Shenchang let out a long sigh, feeling as if all his strength was going to be drained... It seemed as if a century had passed, but in the real world, only 20 seconds had passed.

20 seconds later.

Gu Shen wiped the blood off his cheek, silently looking at the second "chaser" who appeared at the end of his field of vision and was shocked by the bloody scene.

There are two people who want to kill themselves.

The guy I just killed had the power to strengthen his physical body... It can be seen from the picture of breaking through the door lock.

That's a fool.

But now, what I see now is completely opposite to what I saw before. She is thin and thin, not tall.

It should be this person who tried to break open the door of his own house earlier.

At that time, I heard the sound of the door panel corroding... What he had mastered should be a similar power, so he was also the one who initiated the arson.

Gu Shen looked around slowly.

At the end of the corridor, I saw a thin man whose companion had turned into a pile of broken corpses. His face was pale and his voice was trembling.

"Are you... joking?"

He doubted what his eyes saw.

Is all this real?

On the rooftop, the young man with thousands of blades floating behind him, holding a ruler in his hand, stared at himself coldly. Just staring, there was an invisible sense of oppression coming...

How could this be an ordinary person? !

【"He is afraid."】

Gu Shen saw the meaning in the other's eyes.

Was it actually fear?

Fear of myself... or, this ruler?

He slowly looked at the silver ruler, and saw himself at this moment from the clear silver body, and the face that should be familiar became very strange, because there was an extremely raging killing intent in his eyes.

【"Killed so many people..."】

【"You...damn..."】

Gu Shen heard his own voice squeezed out of his chest bit by bit.

This time, the scene he imagined was what he saw just now when he leaned over the rooftop...Because of that explosion, innocent people were trapped in the fire wave and burned to charcoal.

The voice settled.

"call out!!!"

The silver light of the ruler of truth burst out suddenly, and this blazing brilliance hit the darkness at the end of the corridor in an instant.

Night turned into day!

Under the power of the ruler of truth, that extraordinary man with incredible power seemed to have become an ant.

The frightened man suddenly caught fire. He screamed, slapped himself frantically, and even rolled on the ground. He tried to extinguish the flame, but the fire erupted instantly and engulfed him like a sea tide.

This is a ferocious yet gentle human-eating flame, burning only on him - even if the man hits the stacked planks in the corner, only a few dim sparks are splashed out and extinguished in an instant.

This flame does not spread.

Burn him alone.

After a few breaths, the screaming arsonist was burned to ashes by the flame he ignited.

This flame that did not conform to the law and cognition...was slowly extinguished.

miracle.

In a sense, this is a miracle.

Gu Shen stared at this scene, he watched the flame surging in the dark corridor, slowly extinguished, and finally turned into ashes... What burned with it every second was his own thoughts.

It was something illusory, yet real.

The man was burned.

My own "thoughts" are also being burned.

The one who supported the performance of the miracle was himself who held the ruler... In the dark, his spirit was used as fuel.

When the burn is over, only fatigue remains.

Gu Shen let out a long breath.

The fingers holding the ruler began to tremble violently, and the pain like needle pricks surged like a tide. He gasped heavily, wanting to breathe fresh air, perhaps because of the blazing fire, his chest was so stuffy that he couldn't breathe.

"A little bit of side effects." The orange cat reread the word "a little bit", and calmly said: "You have to pay a price to call the wind and rain like a god, right?"

"……yes."

Gu Shen laughed hoarsely, "Thank you for reminding me."

The overdrawn spirit reminds Gu Shen all the time that it's time to let go.

But he didn't let go of the ruler, but continued to hold it tightly, while slowly raising his head and looking at the sky.

The mental power that should have been slackened regrouped.

The orange cat raised its head following Gu Shen's movements.

On the dome above the roof, which was shrouded in blazing smoke, dark clouds appeared one after another for no reason. These dark clouds were assembled and thickened in a short period of time, and finally enveloped the old building. Soon there was rain falling, and then it became a rain curtain .

Although this scene is absurd, it is within the use range of the ruler of truth.

"You really are... a lunatic." Chu Ling sighed softly.

Gu Shen smiled: "Can I understand it as a compliment?"

He is like a dry green plant, with rain after a long drought, or torrential rain after a long drought.

Crackling raindrops fell.

Gu Shen felt a bit of a headache, a real headache, both inside and outside.

The last rain drained all his energy. At this moment, Gu Shen is no longer able to accurately plan the size of the rain like he did when he created the knife field at the beginning... But judging by the howling and roaring momentum of this heavy rain, it can extinguish the fire tide , no problem.

After doing all this, Gu Shen now has reached the point where his brain still hurts even if he closes his eyes.

Sure enough, it was a deal with the devil.

After the transaction is over, not only will he be beaten back to his original shape, but he will also fall into hell.

"Meow..."

The orange cat meowed.

Gu Shen's eyes were confused, he couldn't hold the ruler very well, and Chu Ling's voice came to his ears, and it had turned into meowing again... The heavy rain fell, and he sat against the wall, his consciousness gradually drifting away.

The orange cat sighed, slipped its little head into his arms, and took out a mobile phone.

Gu Shen's lips were dry, he didn't have the energy to be surprised anymore, he watched helplessly as the orange cat dialed the number for him.

"beep--"

"beep."

The second tone is connected.

"Hey..." Gu Shen squeezed out his last strength and asked with difficulty, "It's me..."

There was a light laugh on the phone, as if he had expected that Gu Shen would call.

Gu Shen said hoarsely, "I'm in trouble...can you guys help me out?"

"sure."

The voice on the other end of the phone was very relaxed: "The big troubles can be taken care of."

"Really……"

Gu Shen smiled wearily: "There were two scary guys who wanted to kill me, but I killed them in reverse. This should be regarded as self-defense... You guys clean up."

The faint laughter on the phone died away.

Thanks to the leader of Zhihan, thank you to the leader who came for the panda~~
