"Gu Shen...is dead."

Gu Nanfeng's words were a final conclusion.

These words echoed in the conference room, and Li Qingsui sat back in his chair in confusion.

Although several other important figures were in heavy moods, their years of cultivation and state of mind supported their moods, and they did not directly show emotions such as "collapse" at this moment.

There will be some content after the meeting, which is probably the promotion of the "convergence" plan.

Gu Shen is dead, but the merger will continue.

The five-continent pattern has been established, and cooperation between Nagano and Central City is indispensable.

It's just that Li Qingsui didn't listen to these words much. She sat on the chair alone and waited for a long time. After a long time, the meeting ended... everyone in the meeting room left, and she was the only one left here.

"Qingsui."

Gao Tian, ​​who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, patiently accompanied the eldest lady. His mood was equally heavy. The news of Gu Shen's death was a bomb to Dongzhou, and no one could accept it...

"Uncle Gao..."

Li Qingsui slowly raised her head and murmured, "Gu Shen, is he really dead?"

…

…

Gu Nanfeng pushed the wheelchair. Since the Battle of the Cemetery, Mr. Gu's old physical illnesses have begun to break out one after another.

This old man who participated in the war against the Red Army was very strong and fierce when he was young.

But now I am old.

Whatever the years have given him, he will take back twice as much.

"I thought... I would never use something like a wheelchair in my life."

The two of them were walking in the ancient streets. Gu Qilin looked at the flow of people coming and going in the streets. On the side was the Ning River that ran through the Snow Forbidden City. The river reflected the bustling and noisy scene of the ancient city. It was autumn again.

The atmosphere of this ancient city is slightly lonely.

Mr. Gu laughed at himself: "What a stupid idea... At that time, I thought I would never grow old."

Gu Nanfeng lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment, then said comfortingly: "Everyone is the same in terms of life, old age, illness and death, and the God's Throne is no exception... Moreover, the last person in the Gu family who used a wheelchair like this was Gu Lushen."

Gu Lushen is much younger than the old man.

"Really?"

This sentence doesn't really have a consoling effect.

Gu Qilin looked back slightly, looked at Gu Nanfeng, and said softly: "But you reminded me, everyone will die..."

Speaking of this, the old man's voice became hoarse and his eyes became much sadder.

Apparently he was thinking of the young man who disappeared into the sea of ​​ice.

The old man took out the wooden seal from his clothes and slowly rubbed it with his dry fingers.

The white-haired man gives the black-haired man a gift.

This is one of the greatest tragedies in the world.

Gu Qilin suddenly spoke: "When did Gu Shen leave the 'blood' in the Gu clan's ancestral hall?"

"Two years ago? Or maybe a year ago?"

After hearing this, Gu Nanfeng narrowed his eyes subconsciously, and soon spoke without changing his voice. He said in a calm tone: "I did this... It's normal that you don't have an impression. After all, when he first entered Nagano, he

It hasn’t received as much attention as it does now.”

"……Um."

Gu Qilin's eyes still stayed on the wooden seal.

Gu Nanfeng began to take over the entire Gu family two years ago, and he has basically stopped intervening in all matters big and small.

In fact, his real "aging" is not reflected in his physical body and combat power.

But I'm older.

My mind started to feel tired for no apparent reason.

As early as more than 20 years ago, when Gu Changzhi achieved the Fighting God Throne, Gu Qilin realized that he was "old".

The specific manifestation is that in the affairs of the Gu family, he can no longer make decisions as neatly as he did when he was young... Later, during the dispute between the old and new factions, he fought against Gu Lushen for eight years.

, just to wait for Gu Nanfeng’s growth.

"Gu Shen is a very good child."

The old man smiled in a low voice, "He could have shined more brightly and let more people remember him."

Gu Nanfeng took a deep breath.

He has a lot to say.

But then...

He just raised his head, looked at the dead leaves flying in the Ninghe River, and uttered two words.

"yes."

…

…

"What?!"

"What did you say!!"

At the top of Huazhi, Lu Nanzhi slapped the table angrily and stood up. This was the first time in the years since she took office that she could not control her emotions.

On the other side of the virtual projection, South Bay Councilor Chen San looked complicated.

He could understand Lu Nanzhi's anger.

For this Sangzhou Cave mission, Dadu is responsible for logistical support... News came from the Sincerity Association that the Beizhou source energy boat will land in Dadu tonight and deliver the local extraordinary beings rescued from the South Cave. This is actually a battle.

It was an exciting and grand victory, but no one was happy because the biggest contributor to this mission to the south had been confirmed to be "dead".

"The news came from Nagano that the spirit of the 'Blood Tablet' left by Gu Shen has dissipated."

Chen San whispered: "I know you are angry, but the merger plan is the most important thing at the moment..."

"There's no need to go on, I know it's important to merge."

Lu Nanzhi took a deep breath, replied coldly, and then hung up.

[Red Door] activates——

Even without the [Key], the [Red Gate] can still summon members of the Ancient Literature Society, but she does not have Gu Shen's privileges and cannot forcibly recruit them. She can only issue a meeting request.

Nowadays, the meeting room 031 of the Ancient Literature Society has completely disappeared.

The only people she can trust are 064 and 073.

"Hurry... come online quickly."

Lu Nanzhi initiated the link application in the cold conference room.

It's a pity that at this moment, neither 064 nor 073 responded. It seems that something is going on in the real world.

She waited for a long time in the most hidden space in the deep water area, but 064 and 073 never came.

But when Lu Nanzhi was about to leave.

Countless seawater formed in the conference room, and an ethereal and slender figure appeared in the conference room out of thin air without pushing the door. The person who could do this... except for the [key], there was only one identity left.

"Hello, Lu Nanzhi, or should I call you...Mrs."

The illusory figure sat in the seat where Gu Shen often sat, her long hair slowly falling down, and countless messages exuding fluorescence, like a big cloak, covering the entire conference room.

"Maybe you still have an impression of me, maybe you have forgotten..."

The illusory figure was shrouded in garbled characters and did not fully show its entire body. However, she folded her hands, put her slender fingers together, and said slowly with deep eyes: "Please allow me to reintroduce my identity. I am

The [source code] left by Turing is also the new gravekeeper of Nagano Kiyozuka."

Lu Nanzhi was stunned for a moment and then immediately read out the name of the illusory figure: "...Chu Ling."

"It seems you still remember me."

Chu Ling smiled softly.

"You are very famous, and Gu Shen often mentioned you before..."

Lu Nanzhi realized that she had mentioned that familiar name, and her tone became sad.

The conference room was silent for a few seconds.
