Chapter 182 List

A moment later, Gu Shen walked out of the cabin with a grave expression.

"How is it? Did you get anything out of them?" Chen Li asked with concern.

"I got a list of some of the Guang Ming Bi Lei network."

Gu Shen handed the list to Chen Li and said softly, "Follow the way Central City handles it. Don't rush into anything… these people can lead to a bigger 'spy network'."

Hong Xi and Chen Lin were, after all, just mid-level operatives.

In Guang Ming Bi Lei's infiltration plan, operatives of this level wouldn't have access to many secrets.

But this time, it could be considered a small victory.

At least the big fish "Uto" has surfaced. Being able to pull out a high-level sleeper agent of this caliber is very important to Changye.

"Third Arbiter, Uto?"

Chen Li glanced at the list. Most of the names were of insignificant people he had never heard of, but one name stood out.

Uto!

This man was in Changye.

Now that the Tribunal was in a state of disrepair, many transcendents were putting on the robes of the Arbiter, eager to show their skills.

Uto had a good reputation in Changye and had the strength to back it up.

"This man is actually a sleeper agent of Guang Ming Bi Lei…"

Chen Li's eyes immediately turned cold. He looked at Gu Shen and asked, "Do you need me to go back?"

"No need. This kind of thing is best left to the Gu family."

Gu Shen said slowly, "Pass the message to Gu Nanfeng. Tell him that Guang Ming Bi Lei has the means of 'dreaming' and 'dream retrieval'... These sleeper agents must be closely monitored. If there is any sign of trouble, control them immediately. Don't alert the others."

He briefly told him the intelligence that Hong Xi had revealed.

"The Guang Ming Church's methods are quite powerful."

After listening, Little Iron Man looked solemn. He looked at the two people who were still kowtowing in the wooden house. "What should we do with these two?"

"They've already been exposed."

Gu Shen shook his head. "Guang Ming Bi Lei will automatically remove them from the 'core members'. Tonight's test won't be able to fool any real big fish."

"What a pity."

Chen Li sighed and regretted, "The Temple is acting so cautiously…"

"Send out the news that Dong Lai Zhengzang is stirring up people's hearts, and that Jiankou Islands is a den of filth, and has been completely cleaned up."

Gu Shen thought for a moment and said, "As for these two secret agents, they can never go back... After tonight, the best explanation is that they died in the Jiankou Islands."

If Hong Xi and Chen Lin were allowed to return to their original posts alive, or were discovered by sleeper agents hidden elsewhere,

It was very likely that the *Holy Book* would be exposed.

Even if the Temple didn't think about the *Holy Book*, they would suspect that the high-level officials of Dongzhou had mastered the secret means to eliminate Guang Ming Bi Lei's faith.

"I understand."

Little Iron Man nodded and said, "Leave this to me."

…

…

There were only two days left until Chu Ling's final descent.

Gu Shen found a small house with a very classical atmosphere on the beach of Jiankou Islands. The sea was not far from the house.

The heavy rain that had lasted for several days had finally ended.

Dawn broke.

A line of light fell on the beach like a tide.

Gu Shen and Chu Ling were lying under the parasol, watching the sunrise over the sea, the ebb and flow of the tide, and the wind blowing Chu Ling's red and white skirt, making a rustling sound.

"[Source Code] intercepted a very important message in the deepest layer of the deep-water area network."

Chu Ling looked at the sunrise on the coast and summoned the image she received from her spiritual sea.

It was a sunset night scene that was completely opposite to the current one.

The top of the sky was like a canopy, and the stars were like chess pieces.

This scene was beautiful.

Gu Shen looked at this scene, just smiled, and didn't say anything.

"This is Xizhou, Guang Ming City."

Chu Ling was a little surprised by Gu Shen's reaction, but she never had the habit of keeping people in suspense, so she said to herself, "Just two days ago, the sun set in Guang Ming City, and it ushered in a short 'night'. The sunset time was not long, but the meaning behind it is intriguing. The Temple blocked all news channels at the first time, but 'it's dark'... How can this be concealed?"

Seeing that Gu Shen was still unmoved.

Chu Ling asked in confusion, "You don't seem surprised?"

Before Gu Shen could speak, she figured it out herself.

"Hong Xi and Chen Lin already knew about this... They told you."

Chu Ling said angrily, "You didn't tell me such important news?"

"I'm sorry, I did it on purpose." Gu Shen smiled apologetically, "As you said, 'sunset' can't be concealed... The reason why I didn't tell you is because I wanted to know how capable the Temple is, and how long this kind of thing can be concealed."

[Source Code] knowing is one thing, and the whole world knowing is another.

But some things, once a gap is opened, the spread will become faster and faster.

It won't be long.

The entire transcendent world of the Five Continents will know this news.

"Some things can't be stopped, such as light, and this news."

Chu Ling said seriously, "The method adopted by the Temple is not very clever. At the moment of 'sunset', they cut off the network connection between the entire Guang Ming City and [Deep Sea]... But no one can leave [Deep Sea], so the moment of reconnection is destined to spread the 'Xizhou Sunset' to the Five Continents."

Gu Shen murmured, "Is disconnecting the link to discuss countermeasures internally?"

"Obviously... There is a problem with Guang Ming Bi Lei's 'fire seed control power'." Chu Ling said in a tone without fluctuation, "Guang Ming City has been in daylight for ninety-three consecutive years. This 'great' Guang Ming Bi Lei has lived for more than a century, only a little younger than Qinglong. Calculating the days, it's time to die."

Guang Ming Bi Lei wanted to kill Gu Shen.

Of course, she hated Guang Ming Bi Lei.

But the words just now did not have too much subjective color, but objectively stated a fact.

Guang Ming Bi Lei was indeed at the time when he "should die". He had lived long enough, long enough.

It can be seen from the Jiankou Islands incident that [Temple] began planning for today many years ago... They wanted to do everything possible to save this Guang Ming Bi Lei, using a lot of faith power to prolong the life of the Guang Ming Bi Lei, and for this reason, they launched a long-term faith infiltration plan.

"Although I really hope that Guang Ming Bi Lei will die, there is an old saying that has to be admitted, and it makes sense."

Gu Shen lowered his eyes and said lukewarmly, "...Good people don't live long, but evil people live for thousands of years."

"A big man at the level of Guang Ming Bi Lei should not 'die' so easily."

Gu Shen looked relaxed and lay lazily, scanning the ebb and flow of the tide, and said with a light smile, "I think there should still be a trace of power left in Guang Ming Bi Lei. If he really reaches the 'near death' moment, Jiankou Islands should not be so peaceful."

When that time really came, the Guang Ming Church would need a lot of faith power.

Even if the number of Dong Lai Zhengzang's [Snake God Followers] was small, they would not let it go!

"Makes sense."

Chu Ling nodded and said, "The news of the 'sunset' of Guang Ming City may spread throughout the Five Continents in a short time... If, as you said, Guang Ming Bi Lei has not actually reached the 'near death' stage, then this 'sunset' news is also deliberately released by him?"

She always felt that it was unlikely.

If he deliberately released the news, was it necessary to cut off the [Deep Sea] link?

It would be better to release it directly. As long as the sunset in Xizhou really happened, then the news would be impeccable.

"Perhaps... He is really old, so old that he has no time to illuminate this city of faith."

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes and was also thinking about this issue.

"Thinking from another perspective, if there is no 'Traveler' fire seed, would Her Majesty the Queen always hold up Central City to maintain its ascending state?"

Chu Ling also fell into thought.

She said in a deep voice, "Thinking from another perspective, if I were the Queen of Beizhou, then in the last stage of my life, I would put down Central City to preserve my power and protect 'Beizhou' as much as possible for a period of time."

"Yes. This principle is the same for Guang Ming Bi Lei. He may have sensed his own 'death'."

Gu Shen said, "And this time's 'sunset' is Guang Ming Bi Lei's sacrifice of his own divine power. He decided to give up the miracle of making Guang Ming City eternal daylight in exchange for a longer lifespan."

He paused and said, "But it is also possible that all of this is fake."

Chu Ling enjoyed the time as a mortal, so she did not use her database to calculate at the moment.

She was a little surprised, "Fake?"

"Guang Ming Bi Lei is not as weak as everyone thinks."

Gu Shen said calmly, "How strong is Guang Ming Bi Lei? Perhaps even the members of the Supreme Council cannot answer this question... Ordinary mortals can burn their spirits and lives when they are forced to a dead end. As for those 'fire seed melters' who have completed the final evolution of their life level, there is no need to say more."

"If all of this is fake... Then what is the purpose of the 'sunset' news?"

Chu Ling was briefly dazed for a second, and then asked and answered herself again, "...Pluto."

She calculated the answer and then looked at Gu Shen with a complex expression.

From beginning to end, Gu Shen's expression was very calm.

After learning the news of the "sunset" from Hong Xi and Chen Lin, Gu Shen began a long consideration.

"It is very likely that it is attracting Pluto."

Gu Shen smiled and said, "It has been nearly ten years since the death of the Dionysus... For ten years, Pluto has not shown up. Guang Ming Bi Lei was very sure that 'Pluto' was dead, because of the current situation, he could not question Bai Zhu, let alone come to Changye to investigate."

"Guang Ming Bi Lei and Pluto are incompatible, and vice versa."

Gu Shen said, "According to the grievances and hatreds of the past, if Guang Ming Bi Lei is really going to die... The former Pluto will definitely take a look or strike a blow. If he doesn't go and doesn't show up, then Pluto can basically be determined to have fallen."

"If I am not mistaken, 'sunset' is just the beginning."

Gu Shen put his hands behind his head and murmured, "If Guang Ming Bi Lei is really going to die, the existence he must eliminate no matter what... is Pluto."

If Pluto died.

Then Guang Ming Bi Lei would also find the successor of "Pluto" and remove him.

Chu Ling's voice was complicated, "So... This 'sunset' is specially for you?"

"I hope I am overthinking it."

Gu Shen smiled and made a gesture, "There is no news in this world that is more pleasing and delightful than waking up and finding that Guang Ming Bi Lei has died and disappeared. If he really dies of old age naturally, then the third letter that I promised Mr. Gu Changzhi to send in person will not need to be sent. The dark son layout of Xizhou cannot be mentioned, the identity of Pluto can be announced at will, so many troubles will disappear, you say, isn't this great news?"

"Yes."

Chu Ling rarely showed an expression of yearning.

She said earnestly word by word, "I hope Guang Ming Bi Lei will die soon."
