Chapter 7 The Ruler of Truth
The incandescent lamp above the head made a "sizzling" noise of electricity, and the light flashed together with the holographic screen.
The next moment the light source goes out.
The entire bedroom was plunged into darkness.
Gu Shen stood up immediately to lift the curtains and looked sideways. The few street lights that were always on on the roadside of the old unfinished building in the middle of the night were all extinguished, and everything he could see was pitch black.
Someone wants to kill himself.
Those people are already taking action...cutting off the power is just the first step.
"Meow."
A calm meow sounded in the darkness, and the orange cat sleeping lazily in its nest appeared beside Gu Shen at some point, stood on tiptoes, and cupped his trouser legs.
I recall Chu Ling’s words in my mind——
【"I will contact you in another way."】
Gu Shen was stunned: "Could it be that...?"
The orange cat just nodded with a cold look, raised his paw and pointed in the direction of the door.
Accompanied by the banging sound of "dong dong dong", burning smoke overflowed from the crack of the door. The door lock bolt was being corroded. This backward and old residential security door could not resist this corrosion at all, and the door frame trembled.
, uninvited guests from outside can break into this place very quickly.
"Meow."
The window was opened, and Daju jumped onto the window sill lightly, signaling Gu Shen to act quickly.
"Are you mistaken...this is the seventh floor..."
Gu Shen's expression changed a little.
Daju meowed and jumped out. It landed firmly on the iron frame of an external air conditioner and turned back to look down at Gu Shen coldly.
Gu Shen took a deep breath, glanced at the door frame that was breaking at any time, and made a quick decision to jump out of the window.
You don’t have much time left for yourself, so you don’t have time to be indecisive!
His skills were actually quite good. He climbed out of the window sill, jumped lightly, used the outdoor frame of the air conditioner as a springboard, hugged a pipe, and stepped on the outer edge of the wall of the old building. The protruding stones were only enough
Use half of the sole of your foot to exert force.
"Huh...success..."
Gu Shen breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to rest for a while and then slide down the pipe, Daju shouted urgently, signaling him to climb up quickly.
Is there a dead end up...downwards?
Gu Shen did not hesitate, he quickly followed the orange cat and climbed up.
"boom!"
The next moment, a violent roar of air blasting came from underneath him. The billowing air waves rolled and broke through the glass. The sound of the heat wave seemed to be mixed with a few weak screams, which were engulfed by the flames before they could be heard.
Gu Shen's face suddenly turned pale.
The gushing fire turned the peripheral vision into scarlet, and the pipes became hot to the touch. But in the crisis, Gu Shen climbed extremely fast. This old-fashioned unfinished building has a total of eleven floors. After climbing to the top, there is a
On the wide rooftop, tumbled clothes and quilts were piled on top of the rooftop iron frame, making a rustling sound when blown by the hot wind.
"Is there still king's law? Is there still law?!"
Gu Shen couldn't believe the scene just now.
He barely stood on the edge of the rooftop, leaned down to look, and felt dizzy.
These guys are simply crazy. What they just did was not as simple as breaking into a house and killing people... Do these people want to blow up the entire building?
The sudden explosion broke the silence of the night, and many people were awakened by the loud noise. By this time, the fire had spread, quickly spreading from the seventh floor. Looking from a close distance, this old-fashioned unfinished building stood tall in the sea of flames, surrounded by blazing flames.
The swaying apparition is like a mirage of hell.
However, the real disaster was not just the fire——
The people who woke up tried to dial but failed. For unknown reasons, the signal was surprisingly poor, and the power and network were cut off.
When disaster strikes, human beings themselves are too small.
They could do nothing but watch the scene of hell on earth unfold——
There were several charred and blurry shadows fluttering in the flames, trying to cry out for help.
Even if you can't hear the sound, you can still feel the pain and despair of the sufferers at this moment.
This sudden explosion trapped innocent residents above seven floors in the fire.
Some people choose to jump out of windows to survive.
"Whoa-bang!"
The burning torso fell in a broken arc in the air, and when it landed on the ground, there was a crisp sound, and the dark charcoal smashed into pieces on the ground, with scattered fire spots.
These people who jumped off the building did not know that the flames in the explosion were also mixed with strong corrosive power.
Seeing this scene, Gu Shen silently clenched his fists. He realized that he had made the right decision at the critical moment... If he had escaped downwards, he would have been a charred corpse.
But now, I am trapped in the fire wave, what should I do?
Those who are chasing me... come with such turbulent killing intent, they will soon reach the rooftop...
At this moment, Gu Shen was calmer than ever before. Due to the huge explosion, his body was still trembling due to physiological reactions, but his fingers were no longer shaking.
He looked at Chu Ling...the orange cat, standing coldly on the highest point of the rooftop, also looked at him.
The two looked at each other.
In this second of bliss, Gu Shen took out the "silver ruler" that A-009 handed to him.
The orange cat spoke again, and his voice was still cat language like "meow".
But after Gu Shen heard it, he incredibly understood the orange cat's thoughts.
"There are two enemies. They are expected to arrive on the rooftop in 20 seconds and 40 seconds... The escape route has been blocked. You need to use the 'Ruler of Truth' to counterattack here."
The Ruler of Truth... It turns out that the name of this ruler is "The Ruler of Truth"!
"How to use it?"
Gu Shen held his breath and looked anxiously in the direction of the rooftop door lock... Time was running out. I wonder if it was an illusion, but he seemed to be able to hear the sound of heavy footsteps at this moment!
Orange Cat said quickly: "Inject spirit and imagine the picture. The Ruler of Truth can transform thoughts and make them come true... The stronger the mental power, the more successful the transformation of thoughts will be."
"Dong——"
There was a loud sound.
The door lock was almost shattered by the strong impact.
Gu Shen grasped the silver ruler with both hands and concentrated on the direction of the door.
His mind went blank, and all his mental power was concentrated on one point. The images of Nan Jin fighting against A-009 flew and collided in his mind. The silver blade fields made up of the two long knives seemed to have turned into condensed lines at this moment.
Light.
The scale of the ruler of truth lights up little by little.
A wind emerged out of thin air and swept across the rooftop, blowing up rows of clothes and bedding——
"boom!"
After a brief silence.
With the second collision, the door lock was smashed into pieces, and a tall black figure flew sideways against the door panel, as strong as an adult bison!
It was at this moment that the silver ruler ignited with bright light.
The clothes that were thrown away from the rooftop were cut by thousands of thin threads, and countless small gaps were instantly opened. The silver blades swirled in the strong wind were cut in layers, and they instantly collided with the reckless figure like an ox——
Nan Jin used two daggers to repel Mrs. Bachi.
Gu Shen pointed the ruler at the tall man.
At this moment, at that time, the two pictures were strikingly similar, except that the latter one... was more bloody and tragic.
"Woo..."
A horrified muffled sound erupted from the throat of the tall man who crashed out of the rooftop. The brief moment of silence was originally a deliberate pause in his cat-and-mouse game. According to the intelligence, the target this time was just an ordinary person.
But he never expected that... he would be greeted by such a huge force of murderous intent. His petrified skin was torn apart by countless superimposed blades in an instant, and the huge inertia after accelerating the door, he pushed himself into the inexhaustible body with his own hands.
The restored abyss——
There are countless sharp blades hanging on the rooftop.
The tip of the ruler of truth was wrapped with silvery brilliance, and the rooftop was engraved into Gu Shen's "imagined" Nanjin Sword Domain.
The reason why it was an "imaginary" sword realm was because Gu Shen could not understand how the sword realm that Nan Jin used at that time was created... so he relied on his imagination to reconstruct a sword realm.
The other party's behavior is very simple and trustworthy... he can light an entire building on fire casually, and he is most likely a person who has no regard for life... so it is only natural to regard himself as an ant...
Thinking of this for a moment, Gu Shen decided to arrange the rooftop into a quagmire with hanging blades.
And this "intruder" who crashed into the quagmire at an extremely fast speed, at this moment, looks like a death seeker who is willing to be cut into pieces... In this static picture, he will
Actively cut it——
Puffs of blood burst out.
