"Soaked in 'black silver', it shouldn't be able to stare at the real world anymore, right?"

Gu Shen looked at the ruler that was dyed from silver to jet black.

He didn't know what was going on inside the ruler, but after Black Silver wrapped the Ruler of Truth, he felt relieved from the bottom of his heart.

The deal with the devil is destined to be a long game.

Before he found the truth about Pluto's fall, he had better try to minimize his conversations with the devil. That guy who lived in the darkness exuded a gloomy aura.

At the moment it looks like he has the upper hand.

But from the moment he entered the ruler, the scale of victory was already tilting to the other side.

The conversation just now was quite fruitful.

At least Gu Shen was certain of one thing.

That is that the Ruler of Truth cannot refuse its own spiritual link...

As long as "Black Silver" can block ruler's perception, he can firmly gain the upper hand in the next game!

During this period, he did not intend to use the ruler.

After doing this, Gu Shen left the room.

He went to the cemetery alone.

…

…

After finishing the [Maze Mission], Gu Shen has always had a doubt in his mind.

With the strength of Golden Spike Flower.

Those explorers who arrived at the labyrinth, without the strength of the top fourth-level extraordinary beings, could hardly leave alive... But Hong Zhong just escaped back. According to the file, this guy's extraordinary state was probably at the eighth level of the deep sea.

How on earth did he do it?

Lin Lin, Zhong Yuan, and the members of the team on this mission... were not aware of the existence of "Golden Spike Flower", so they believed that Hong Zhong's survival was just a fluke!

But Gu Shen knew that it couldn't be a fluke!

This guy... either has a hidden secret, or has a special sealed item!

The bright moon is in the sky.

The Gubao, which had just ended a catastrophic storm, looked particularly bright and clean under the silvery moonlight.

When the sentry on patrol saw Gu Shen, he did not stop him, but instead saluted respectfully.

Gu Shen entered the cemetery without any obstruction.

He came to Hong Zhong's tombstone.

Perhaps because of the heavy rain just now, some weeds have grown around this tombstone... Before the "spiritual toxin" broke out, this place was also used as a memorial place for "heroes". The Second Team of the Survey Corps more than once

They sent people to talk and try to transport the body of the returnee Hong Zhong from the fortress back to the interior of Beizhou.

Thinking about it now, it makes people feel scared.

If this "spiritual toxin" breaks out inland... and spreads completely, then the situation will be serious.

By then, it will no longer be a problem that Gu Shen can solve.

Beizhou will probably spend a lot of manpower and material resources to solve this "disaster".

Gu Shen, on the other hand, will be forced to bear the fate and disaster caused by the "Golden Spike Flower" massacre. In other words... he may bear a lot of bad luck because of this man-made disaster.

Fortunately, Lin Lin stopped all this!

Even Gu Shen secretly admired this. You must know that this guy does not have "underworld fire".

As a fortress garrison, making such a decision requires withstanding the tremendous pressure exerted by the outside world.

I have to admit that Lin Lin is unusually sharp. He has a sense of smell like a hound, and he can clearly smell the crisis in "Hong Zhong".

This is a natural talent with a big heart.

"The atmosphere in this tomb is a bit strange."

Gu Shen resisted the golden hoop and opened a ray of "blazing fire" with difficulty, and his eyes burned into a dull golden color.

Under gaze, the weeds on the tombstones and the words carved on the stone all fade away.

His gaze penetrated the ground and pointed directly at the coffin under the dust.

The mental power of "Blazing Fire" directly touched the corpse of "Hong Zhong". Logically speaking... this is the mother body that breeds the "Golden Finger Flower Poison". After being touched by Pluto, it should be immediately stirred up.

The remaining soul.

However, this phenomenon did not occur.

The man in the coffin was too dead to die...even the last remnants of his soul were completely dissipated.

As for the extraordinary source material that should have remained in the coffin, not even the dregs were left.

"What power disintegrated his soul?"

Gu Shen knelt down.

He stretched out his palm and shook it slightly.

The dust in the cemetery was continuously wiped away to both sides by spiritual power, and after a few seconds, the brand new coffin surface was revealed.

Gu Shen decided to open the coffin directly.

The coffin is opened...

A rotten corpse came into view. Hong Zhong's body had been burned, and now only bones were left on the ground... But apart from the signs of burning, his body seemed to have been gnawed by some force. Gu Shen frowned.

, Among Hong Zhong's bones, there is an old and worn-out pendant, which is not decayed. It is tied in front of his neck and is now sunk into his sternum.

Sealed item!

Gu Shen did not reach out to touch it directly, nor did he use his mental power to capture the object.

He put on the black-silver laminated gloves and carefully took out the pendant... This did not look like a lethal sealed object. This pendant should be a very ancient object with a delicate texture and a broken body.

The cross seems to be diagonal

It was broken into pieces. As for the hanging chain part of the pendant, it was probably matched by Hong Zhong himself, because under the black silver wrapping, Gu Shen just rubbed it gently a few times, and the slender hanging chain slowly weathered.

Annihilated, only the main body of the cross pendant remains.

After repeatedly examining it and confirming that there was no danger, Gu Shen tentatively sent a small ray of blazing fire into it.

Perhaps this is a spiritual sealed item.

Hong Zhong's soul was chewed clean, and his bones were so completely corrupted...

There is a high probability that this is the function of this sealed object.

When testing with his mental power, Gu Shen had already prepared the worst-case scenario of sending "Blazing Fire" without any return.

However, the result was unexpected.

The process of immersing the "blazing fire" into the cross pendant was extremely smooth.

And Gu Shen also felt a familiar soul breath... This cross pendant was indeed a spiritual sealed object, with a curled up weak soul floating in it.

Hong Zhong's soul was not eaten by the sealed object, but was given [protection] and hid here!

Gu Shentong's pores shrank.

I never expected that when I entered the tomb and opened the coffin, I would find something like this.

When the body is broken, the soul will also be destroyed... The only exception so far is the "Pure Land" of Pluto, which is the legendary god who can control the rules of life and death. Even Pluto has to pay a huge price to retain the souls of the dead.

.

No time to think about it.

A deep voice sounded from behind.

"Hello……"

Gu Shen instantly ended his mental immersion, put away the pendant with his backhand, and looked back calmly.

A young man with blond hair who was not tall walked over slowly with his hands in his pockets.

Zhongyuan came to Hong Zhong's grave.

The captain of the second team looked a little tired. After fighting the storm, he had not had time to rest. At this moment, he looked at the dusty grave and the open coffin. He said in a hoarse voice: "There should be some over there in Dongzhou."

There is a saying that the deceased is the greatest... It’s not good if you just open his coffin like that, isn’t it?”

"This is the original source of the 'psychotoxin' outbreak. I am testing whether there are any residues of the psychotoxin."

Gu Shen's answer was impeccable: "If the mental toxins are not cleared away, then the second outbreak will be more harmful than the first... In this case, there is no saying that 'the dead are the most important'."

Zhong Yuan fell silent for a moment.

After a moment, he nodded, expressing his approval of Gu Shen's behavior.
To be continued...
