What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

Gu Yuqiu said, "The person I hate the most is myself. Isn't that just how people are?"

As soon as he finished speaking, all was quiet outside the window, and the sound of rain outside became even clearer.

This statement may seem illogical at first glance, but upon closer examination, it makes perfect sense, even if delving deeper into it is actually quite tedious.

The reason it's uninteresting is because it carries a didactic tone.

No one in this world likes to be lectured.

For some reason, Shen Hong felt inexplicably that Gu Yuqiu didn't mean it that way.

Perhaps she felt that her enemy was someone who didn't like to reason or listen to others reason.

Unfortunately, after saying that, Gu Yuqiu lost all interest in continuing the conversation. She waved her hand, signaling for her to leave immediately and not linger.

Crimson watched her quietly for a while, sighed inwardly, and left with some regret.

After Crimson left, the white cat jumped to Gu Yuqiu's side, rubbed against her arm affectionately, and meowed to indicate its curiosity.

Why are you suddenly spouting profound truths?

Moreover, this reasoning may not be correct, since I quite like myself.

"You're not human."

Gu Yuqiu glanced at the white cat and said softly, "There's no need to think about these issues. These are things that only human philosophers would think about, and there are different opinions among them."

The white cat couldn't help but meow again, as if to say, "Don't change the subject. Why are you suddenly feeling sentimental?"

Gu Yuqiu looked out the window, at the brightening sky, and realized that it was afternoon, and there was still a long time before dusk and night.

She was quiet for a moment, then suddenly said, "I was... slapped."

The white cat looked up at her, its eerie vertical pupils filled with confusion, as if wondering what she was talking about.

Who in this world would dare to slap you?

Thinking this, it subconsciously glanced at Gu Yuqiu's profile and thought, "Your face isn't even red, what nonsense are you spouting!"

Want to play a riddle?

"It just happened."

Gu Yuqiu patiently said, "When I descended into Lin Mushi's body, I was slapped by Su Yan."

The white cat finally understood, opened its mouth wide, and remained silent for a long time, unable to utter a sound.

Gu Yuqiu ignored its surprise and calmly said, "After that slap, she said some things to me, which should have been sincere."

The white cat didn't know what to meow anymore, thinking to itself, "Did you become a philosopher after being slapped like that?"

It was certain that these were words Gu Yuqiu would never have said in the past—even if she had thought about them deep down.

"The most important point is that she thinks I am too narcissistic."

Gu Yuqiu said, "I can't deny that, although I think it's more about confidence. But when I tried to put myself in their shoes, I discovered a fact."

The white cat meowed curiously.

Gu Yuqiu smiled wryly and said self-deprecatingly, "If I were to meet another version of myself, I would kill myself at all costs."

The white cat has nothing to say but meow.

Gu Yuqiu said, "Even I hate myself this much, so you can imagine how others feel, whether it's Su Yan or Lin Mushi."

The white cat thought to itself, "When have you ever cared about other people's feelings? And isn't Crimson a human being?"

"So the topic returns to what we discussed at the beginning, the one that Crimson and I talked about: when you live too long in this world and leave too many traces, the power of time will make you carry more burdens, which will then become responsibilities that you cannot shed."

Gu Yuqiu wasn't the type to be taciturn, but she wasn't usually very talkative either. Yet, at this moment, she suddenly felt guilty, even to the point of self-reproach...

It was clearly all because of that slap.

Even though her voice had no inflection, it sounded like she was telling something from a textbook, or like someone else's story.

But in fact, this is abnormal for her.

The white cat meowed in confusion and asked the most crucial question.

So why do you think about all this?

"because……"

Gu Yuqiu lowered her head slightly, looked at the white cat, and said sincerely, "I need you very much right now, so I have to make things clear to you."

The white cat suddenly had a bad feeling. It meowed innocently and quietly backed away, indicating that it was just a cat and didn't understand human things at all.

Gu Yuqiu ignored it, her fingertips landing on the back of its neck, gently pinching it, and said, "She said... I still owe her a slap."

The white cat understood her meaning, and its entire body suddenly lost its strength. Its eyes were lifeless and empty, leaving only a look of utter despair.

"I can't beat her right now, so I'll have to rely on you then."

Gu Yuqiu looked at the white cat and said seriously, "Is this alright?"

The white cat looked at her resentfully, thinking to itself, "I may look like a dog, but you're the real dog!" (Note 2)

……

……

Special Affairs Bureau Building, a certain floor.

The entire building, which was entirely white, exuded an extremely cold atmosphere, and even the occasional green plants could not diminish this feeling.

This is the Special Affairs Bureau's internal treatment department. As long as someone doesn't die on the spot and leave no trace, there are superhumans who can prolong their life.

Prolonging life doesn't mean it can be saved. Often it's just a matter of hanging on, living a miserable life that's worse than death, and the resources required are extremely high. Most of the time, the staff in this department are just doing nothing, collecting their salaries, and enjoying a cold and inhumane job.

Yes, in most cases, Secret Service employees will deliberately avoid this place—after all, who likes to go to the hospital for no reason?

However, the medical department was bustling with activity today, with a huge influx of people.

Lu Xiu stood in front of the glass window of the laminar flow ward, looking at the cold medical equipment and the superhuman doctors standing behind it, his expression not solemn.

Not long after, a superhuman doctor pushed open the door and came to Lu Xiu's side, meeting everyone's gazes, and said, "Her condition is really inexplicable."

Under normal circumstances, doctors would never use the word "inexplicable" to describe a patient's condition.

"He was covered in injuries, with all his bones broken, yet his vital signs were so stable...it's absurd. There was absolutely no sign of death."

The doctor said angrily, "This is the first time in my life I've ever seen anything like this."

Everyone could tell that the doctor almost swore, but no one paid attention to these details and all looked at Lu Xiu.

Few of the people present knew who Lin Mushi, who was lying in the hospital bed, was.

If Lu Xiu hadn't suddenly sent the person over, taking it extremely seriously, there wouldn't have been such a strong reaction.

"Thanks a lot."

Lu Xiu offered no explanation, but smiled and said, "I believe she will recover soon."

After saying that, he turned and left the corridor, took out his phone, found a string of numbers in his memory, and dialed the number.

Soon, a lazy voice came from the other end of the phone, as if the person had just woken up.

"Gu Yuqiu."

Lu Xiu softly uttered her name, then another: "Lin Mushi is the one chosen by the Queen of Innocence. I think we need to talk now."

Chapter 109: Chapter 107 Please Betray Her

After leaving that cold corridor, Lu Xiu stepped out of everyone's sight, but instead of explaining anything, he made a phone call and said the following sentence.

If Zhong Chongshan were still beside him, he would inevitably have some opinions at this time, criticizing him for not listening to others and for insisting on things without reason.

However, there was no response on the other end of the phone for a long time.

"Silence is meaningless."

Lu Xiu said slowly, "Or perhaps you are unaware of what just happened?"

Gu Yuqiu said, "I just want to remind you of something."

Lu Xiu hummed in response, deliberately drawing out the last syllable.

"I am now..."

Gu Yuqiu calmly said, "Why should I meet with you while I'm still on vacation?"

Lu Xiu disliked her tone and laughed instead, saying, "I've already given you the reason, and I'm sure you haven't been busy these days."

Gu Yuqiu said, "It seems you are very aware of my current situation?"

When she said this, her tone was flat, but the mockery in her words was inexplicably strong.

Lu Xiu understood what she meant, and there was no denying it, because he had indeed done those things.

Just like today, when Su Yan met Lin Mushi, she told the latter that she had been under surveillance and protection all these days, Gu Yuqiu received the same treatment.

However, despite making a decision at great risk, Lu Xiu did not obtain any useful information.

Since their meeting at dusk that day, Crimson has once again vanished without a trace, for which many people in the Special Affairs Bureau have been reprimanded.

As for the forces that had been monitoring Gu Yuqiu and Lin Mushi, they had long been terrified by the sudden appearance of the deep red figure and had remained quiet and extremely low-key until today.

From this perspective, the recent period of calm in Xin Chu is largely thanks to Shen Hong.

"I don't want to discuss this with you."

Lu Xiu then said, "Besides meeting you, there's something else that's very important to you, and I'm thinking about whether to tell you."

Gu Yuqiu did not answer, but only said one word.

"one."

"……one?"

"two."

"Wait, are you going to hang up on me?"

"I don't like this kind of conversation where others only say half of what they want to say and then wait for me to ask a question. Three."

"Lin Mushi is seriously injured."
