Chapter 354 Guide to Light
Yun Zhao gleaned two pieces of information from the gatekeeper's words.
—Dad has been here.
He was also a Dark Guide.
“I should be his daughter.” Yun Zhao said this, her expression inexplicably becoming somewhat irritated.
She lost her childhood memories and didn't understand why a father would abandon his child, especially in such a dangerous place as a contaminated area.
The gatekeeper said he was the Dark Guide.
That seems to make sense.
Dark guides walk on the edge of light and darkness. They possess the ability to guide and manipulate people's hearts, and their personalities are often as uncontrollable as the power they wield.
Perhaps in his eyes, she, his daughter, was not important.
She survived purely by luck.
"Really? Then he lied to me. You're not the person I'm waiting for." The voice then grew angry.
"He lied to you?"
Yun Zhao realized there was something wrong with her emotions. She tried her best to control herself, slowly stood up, and asked, "What did he lie to you about? And who are you waiting for?"
The gatekeeper thought she was the person it was waiting for, which is why it hadn't made a move.
"That's my business."
The voice clearly didn't want to tell her.
Yun Zhao had many questions she wanted to ask, but she suppressed the murderous intent in her heart and said softly, "But you are trying to express too much, and future generations will not understand it at all."
The contaminated area is the spiritual realm of the gatekeeper.
Everything here is related to it.
It is waiting for someone, wanting to tell that person a message.
But how could it know that person would come in?
dad……
Was it Yun Jue who told it?
What does he want to do?
Yun Zhao's thoughts were in turmoil; she couldn't stay calm because it involved her background.
"Didn't you already understand?" the voice in the darkness said angrily.
The surrounding dark matter grew increasingly dense, churning and swirling, blocking the cyan-green fluorescence from engulfing it.
"He lied to me, and his daughter tried to lie to me too. You two are both liars!"
"Lie to you? You think I'm the person you're waiting for?"
Yun Zhao slowly raised his head, gazing at the darkness above. "How do you know I'm not?"
She was drawn to the diary of the red-crowned crane.
She had initially thought it was the red-crowned crane that had given the gatekeeper the information, but now it seemed that it wasn't.
Not only have red-crowned cranes come here, but Yun Jue has also been here.
The father told it that there was a person whose name represented the sun symbol, and that was the person it was looking for.
It started with four women and two men, then became four men and two women...
The fact that it rejected every outsider that appeared suggests that it didn't know who they were either.
Yun Zhao is the seventh.
The voice emitted a chilling laugh.
After a long pause, it finally said, "I'm waiting for the sun; you can't be it."
Yun Zhao slightly raised his hand, "What if I said it was me?"
The Azure Phoenix raised its head and cried out, spreading its enormous wings and landing on top of Yun Zhao's head.
The twinkling light of the stars kept emanating from it, spreading in the darkness, searching for the source of the sound.
"impossible!"
The gatekeeper's voice was icy, "You're a Dark Guide, I can sense it. From the moment my voice came through, you wanted to kill me. Hiding won't help..."
Yun Zhao did not deny it. She lowered her head slightly and slowly walked forward in the darkness.
"Waiting for the sun?"
Yun Zhao looked up at the dark sky, “But the sun appeared twenty-one years ago.”
Not every gatekeeper can perceive the outside world.
It lives in its own domain.
The fact that it was still so determined to find the sun at this point shows that it had no idea that the sun had already appeared.
"You lied to me again?"
"No."
The words fell.
A deathly silence fell over the surroundings.
Yun Zhao stood alone in the darkness, surrounded by fluorescent light.
On the left shoulder of her black combat uniform was a white red-crowned crane, which looked lifelike under the fluorescent glow, as if it were about to take flight.
A sigh echoed from the darkness, "The Guide of Light has appeared?"
Guide to Light?
This was the first time Yun Zhao had ever learned that there were actually Guides of Light!
"Light is born from darkness."
“Your father said that only when the guide of light appears and the sun returns to the earth will everything we have done have meaning…”
“You are a Dark Guide, you could never be the person I’m waiting for.”
"I've waited for so long... Now that the Guide of Light has appeared, why hasn't this nightmare ended yet..."
Its voice murmured, accompanied by confusion.
It was only at this moment that Yun Zhao finally understood the meaning of Lao Bai's words.
Only light can drive out darkness.
The messages left everywhere in this polluted area are waiting for the guide of light.
A team of red-crowned cranes is searching for a guide to light!
Where is TA?
The gatekeeper said, "I shouldn't have talked to you for so long. Tell me where the Guide of Light is, and I will let you leave."
“You are no match for me.” Yun Zhao lowered his head and touched the key box at his waist. “Killing you would be as easy as turning my hand. Whether you leave or not is up to me.”
The voice was furious, "You and your daughter are equally wicked!"
"Really?" Yun Zhao's eyes darkened. "My father said the same thing?"
The gatekeeper fell silent.
The surrounding fluorescent light continued its fierce battle against the darkness, flickering and casting a somewhat illusory shadow on Yun Zhao's figure.
“You didn’t tell me anything, but you asked me to help you find people, and you kept staring at the red-crowned crane on my shoulder.”
Yun Zhao said, "You know red-crowned cranes? Were you once a member of the Dawn Base?"
Suddenly, there was no sound around.
Yun Zhao continued, "I guessed right? You volunteered to become the gatekeeper?"
She couldn't understand, "What kind of information would make you willing to sacrifice yourself just to wait for a guide of light to appear?"
How strong of a conviction must be for a contaminated area to be created?
Then, enduring a century of solitude, day after day, year after year, they endlessly guarded the secret and waited.
The androgynous voice sighed a second time, "You wouldn't understand. The key to a game is maximizing your own gains, not making yourself the winner."
It avoided addressing her other questions.
Yun Zhao was not the person it was looking for, and it was clearly unwilling to reveal too much.
"How are the distinctions made between Light Guides and Dark Guides?"
Yun Zhao wandered aimlessly in the darkness, her cyan-green glow dancing in the air. She paused, then said, "I think... is it possible that I really am the person you've been waiting for?"
Light is born from darkness.
She was born in Pollution Zone 6.
Zhao means brightness.
Yun Jue gave her this name and informed the gatekeeper of contaminated zone 111 of this information.
It's hard not to overthink it.
Unfortunately, the goalkeeper clearly didn't believe him.
"How about we make a bet?"
Yun Zhao said, "If I win, you will tell me everything."
Goalkeeper: "What if you lose?"
Without a second thought, Yun Zhao said, "Then I won't kill you. I'll leave after I've collected the supplies."
The essence of the problem is seeking information, which requires a human answer.
She wanted to know the answer.
The gatekeeper was speechless. "You got all the good things by yourself?"
"If you lose, you must find the Guide of Light for me and bring him here."
"That's fine too."
