"what do you mean……"
Gu Yuqiu casually said, "If I wanted to use this sentence to dissuade you from your idea, then I can give up, because you are a very persistent person?"
Lu Xiu remained silent, which meant he acquiesced.
Gu Yuqiu sighed, "Unfortunately, I was just saying it casually, and I didn't mean it as deeply as you think. As for Crimson... I think my opinion is similar to yours."
Lu Xiu was slightly taken aback and asked, puzzled, "Which sentence are you referring to here as 'almost'?"
"The Innocent Queen will go to Crimson and then fight." Gu Yuqiu repeated his words briefly.
Then, her tone suddenly shifted, landing on an unexpected topic.
"There's nothing much to see here."
"Ok?"
Lu Xiu frowned, looking at her profile, thinking, "Are you really such an impatient person?"
From the moment the two first arrived on the overpass, met, and began their conversation, only twenty minutes have passed, which is hardly a long time.
Even if there's really nothing to see here, not as interesting as last night's torrential rain, and the two sections of the broken bridge no longer have the magnificent waterfall view... but that's not right either.
Just as Lu Xiu was wondering, Gu Yuqiu suddenly did something.
She took a step forward.
Step into that air.
It was the dead of winter, and a biting winter wind suddenly arrived, blowing her hair into disarray, creating a kind of disheveled beauty, with every strand as picturesque as a painting.
She fell off the cliff like that, letting the cold wind seep into her clothes and bring a chilling sensation, and a contented smile appeared on her face.
Unfortunately, the process was far too short because the broken bridge, which resembled a cliff, wasn't very high—although it could easily kill an ordinary person.
Gu Yuqiu landed on the ground, at the very center of the area that had been scorched by the sunlight and instantly melted into a patch of glass and lava, where all the cracks had appeared.
It was an extremely monotonous color.
Just seconds ago, there was no one up there. The Special Affairs Bureau agents were all on the perimeter, not actually going in, and were still checking for any possible consequences to avoid causing unnecessary repercussions or casualties.
On the parched earth, only one person stands out.
Gu Yuqiu knew she wouldn't have much time left.
A wisp of energy quietly emerged from her fingertips, falling silently like a drizzle, its essence lingering in the aftershocks of the scene.
The next second, Lu Xiu appeared beside her.
The entire process was extremely brief, with almost no time difference, so there was probably no time to do anything else.
Lu Xiu didn't think so. He stared at Gu Yuqiu expressionlessly and said, "Did you hear from someone that the chicken leg rice in the interrogation room is delicious, and you're planning to try it?"
Gu Yuqiu chuckled and said, "Then I'll have Lin Mushi secretly learn how to make it another day, and then I can try it out."
"Don't play dumb with me!"
Lu Xiu stared into her eyes and said coldly, "Let's not talk about you ruining the scene..."
Gu Yuqiu interrupted him, her eyes full of laughter, and asked curiously, "Because you ruined it yourself?"
Lu Xiu hadn't expected that, and was momentarily stunned before angrily saying, "That's not the point. The point is that your behavior is too suspicious."
Gu Yuqiu asked, puzzled, "So you're actually that insecure about yourself?"
Lu Xiu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger, and said, "This has nothing to do with my confidence, but rather that you yourself have many problems and are one of the unstable factors."
Gu Yuqiu raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "Then you're also very suspicious. You clearly think there's something wrong with me, but you still insisted on bringing me here. Are you my accomplice?"
As they were talking, the staff of the Special Affairs Bureau noticed the strange phenomenon on this side and immediately put down what they were doing and gathered around.
When people form a circle, things will naturally flow within it.
Lu Xiu noticed this and calmed down, his emotions, which were almost out of control. He looked at Gu Yuqiu and asked, "Are you just being argumentative?"
Gu Yuqiu patiently said, "I just can't understand your nervousness, so I want to try my best to understand your thoughts."
Lu Xiu said, "What if I feel uncomfortable because of this?"
"Then I won't apologize."
Gu Yuqiu said, "After all, this isn't my problem."
Lu Xiu was silent for a moment, then asked, "Then get ready. We'll go to the Special Affairs Bureau together now, and I'll finish discussing the issues with you in the interrogation room."
When he said this, his expression was calm, which meant firmness and an unyielding stance.
Clearly, this matter has crossed his bottom line, leaving no room for maneuver until Gu Yuqiu provides a reasonable explanation.
Gu Yuqiu was not surprised by this.
To be precise, this is exactly the situation she wanted to see.
The reason was quite simple: she didn't want Lu Xiu to stay at the scene and discover the trace of her aura that she had left behind. Although the possibility was extremely small, she still didn't want to take the related risks.
Because what Lu Xiu said before was correct.
When Theresa met her, she was furious at her choice, and eventually, fueled by her anger, she reached the fifth rank, thus establishing a connection between them.
The connection was quite mysterious, yet it had a very straightforward name that anyone could understand.
--cause and effect.
When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out.
Theresa has already entered her divine realm, but what has happened is like the saying goes—everything that has been done leaves a trace.
The reason why such a clichéd saying has been passed down for so long is naturally because its meaning is correct.
Those traces truly exist, even if they are still covered by dust, existing in the dark but not in the light of day. But once they are discovered, they will radiate the most captivating light.
Gu Yuqiu did not want to take such a huge risk.
Because her enemy is the fellow traveler who is only one step away from her, any seemingly minor flaw could become a huge rift.
As for Lin Mushi...
Her thoughts were simple: since there was already so much, it was impossible to completely bury it unless someone was killed, so what did it matter?
Moreover, the Pope actually met Lin Mushi and saw the cause and effect she left behind, which left him with no reason to take action. He had to consider whether this was a trap.
……
……
In a hospital room on a certain building of the Special Affairs Bureau.
Lin Mushi opened her eyes wide, looking at the doctor with a blank expression, and asked in a strange tone, "You said... Gu Yuqiu went into the interrogation room?"
The doctor said, "This is something Director Lu asked me to tell you."
He was unwilling to mention this to Lin Mushi at all, but Lu Xiu's attitude was extremely firm, rejecting his suggestion to take care of the patient's emotions.
As expected, Lin Mushi remained silent for a long time after hearing the news, her eyes revealing an extremely complex emotion.
"Well...I see."
She rubbed her temples, clearly exhausted, and then looked at the doctor, saying, "I want to rest for a bit."
The doctor understood what she meant, gave her a few words of advice, and then turned and left the ward.
It was past noon, and the sun began to set. The sunlight was too intense in the ward, so Lin Mushi closed her eyes, and a string of numbers appeared in her mind.
That's Crimson's contact information.
……
……
Meanwhile, on the rooftop of a tall building.
Shen Muchan stood on the railing, sunlight streaming down from behind her, making her appear less short.
Su Yan didn't look at her; her gaze was fixed on the sun, as if recalling the battle that took place in the dead of night, yet under the twilight.
The white cat crouched between the two, its expression very serious, like a fair referee.
In fact, he was nothing at all; he was just a cat watching the show.
Su Yan withdrew her gaze and looked at Shen Muchan, saying, "Let's do it now. I'm going to have afternoon tea later."
Shen Muchan said, "Then you're probably going to be disappointed."
After a brief exchange of words, the room fell silent once again.
Just as the white cat was getting a little bored, wondering how much longer they would have to wait...
A very slight vibration reached the ears of the two people and the cat.
All eyes were on Shen Muchan.
"perhaps……"
Shen Muchan took out her phone, glanced at it, and remained silent for a long time before suddenly laughing out loud and saying mockingly, "We can't fight today."
Su Yan frowned slightly.
Shen Muchan tossed her phone over and said, "She's been arrested by Lu Xiu."
Chapter 120: Chapter 118 A maid, nothing more.
Upon hearing this, Songtang was stunned for a moment, then its fur bristled up and it transformed into a beautiful dandelion, fluttering in the cold wind.
Its gaze fell on Su Yan, staring at the phone, and it meowed fiercely, indicating that this was impossible.
Su Yan stared silently at the messages on her phone, without saying a word.
Shen Muchan came to the white cat's side and said with a slight sneer, "It's true. After all, this news came from Lin Mushi, and she wouldn't lie about something like this."
Songtang meowed, thinking to herself, "Yeah, that seems to be true."
Then it thought of a question, looked at Shen Muchan with a serious expression, and asked Lin Mushi why she had his contact information.
"Does concern cloud judgment, or are you actually an idiot?"
Shen Muchan chuckled upon hearing this, covered her lips with her hand, leaned down, and whispered, "Have you forgotten why she did those things to me this morning?"
