What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

Therefore, the thunder did not come from the sky, but from Shen Muchan's brow. There was no dull feeling at all; on the contrary, it was extremely crisp.

Shen Muchan trembled even more noticeably.

Those forces entered her body and then spread in all directions, affecting neither the air nor the building beneath her feet.

Strangely, however, such a terrifying attack ultimately produced not even the slightest shockwave, as if it were an illusion.

The ordinary people below the high-rise buildings looked up at the sky with curiosity, only to see that everything was normal and there was no trace of thunder. They wondered if it was just their imagination.

……

……

It's not an illusion.

Su Yan is just too powerful.

With her terrifying power, she not only taught Shen Muchan a lesson but also completely isolated the aftershocks, preventing any accidents from happening.

"No matter if your injury hasn't healed yet, the outcome won't change."

Su Yan looked at Shen Muchan and suddenly remembered something, saying, "Also, you should thank her, otherwise you would have been in an even worse situation today."

Shen Muchan lowered her head, raised her hand to wipe away the blood that had spilled from the corner of her lips, and remained silent.

She looked extremely disheveled at this moment, her hair was a mess, as if she had been toyed with by Gu Yuqiu for a long time, and her face was as pale as snow, as if she hadn't slept for three days and three nights.

"……hehe."

She looked up at Su Yan and said mockingly, "Now you want me to thank Gu Yuqiu? You're just like her lapdog. No wonder she's so fearless."

Upon hearing this, Songtang couldn't help but glance at her, thinking to herself, "Didn't you just lick it this morning?"

Is this a heartfelt sentiment?

It has no interest in women arguing, so naturally it won't get involved.

Unfortunately, some people are unwilling to let it go.

"Pine syrup".

Su Yan walked to the railing, placed her right hand on the white cat's head, slid it backward at just the right speed, and asked softly, "Do you think what she said is right?"

Songtang's body froze instantly, feeling an intense unease. She forced herself not to jump up, and looked up at him with an innocent expression, as if to say, "Please don't joke around."

"Of course I'm not, but she probably is?"

Su Yan continued to stroke it, her movements becoming increasingly practiced, suggesting she had done this many times before.

But Song Tang couldn't relax at all. Her gaze fell on Shen Muchan, and the innocence in her eyes turned into helplessness, indicating that she should remember not to blame her later.

Shen Muchan understood its meaning, her expression remained calm, but her small hands, hidden in her sleeves, clenched into fists.

Just as that meow had barely faded, she spoke.

"If I were Gu Yuqiu's simp..."

She stared at Su Yan's profile and said in a cold voice, "At least I got to lick it, while you're still unable to!"

After he finished speaking, the room fell silent.

The wind grew increasingly noisy.

Su Yan remained silent for a long time, her hands moving steadily and gently without stopping.

Shen Muchan suddenly asked, "Are you out of things to say?"

Su Yan sighed, as if she hadn't heard the question, and said, "You have such good talent, almost as good as mine, but you've always been stuck in the middle. Do you know why?"

"Of course you wouldn't know."

She stopped what she was doing, met Shen Muchan's gaze, and calmly said, "Because you always take your own emotions too seriously, you can't let go, and that goes against the path ahead..."

Shen Muchan interrupted her directly, and said with a sneer, "Someone once told me that you should not look at what a person says, but at what a person does."

Su Yan smiled upon hearing this.

Shen Muchan said, "The only person qualified to say such things to me is her in the past. Even Gu Yuqiu in the present is not qualified. Who do you think you are to value her so much? Do you deserve to say such things to me?"

She had studied rationality and sensibility, even humanity and divinity, for thousands of days and nights in order to take that crucial step and defeat Gu and Qiu. She had already mastered them and was fully capable of giving lengthy discourses on them.

Therefore, she was certain that these were not the key to taking that step, let alone achieving godhood at the sixth level.

"Because I'm better than you." Su Yan's smile grew even gentler.

Shen Muchan sneered and remained silent, refusing to respond.

The white cat was a little disappointed, wondering why they had stopped talking.

As Gu Yuqiu's only battle, it naturally asked its companions how to continue forward and take a firm step on the path to immortality.

However... the answer it received was not satisfactory.

Because Gu and Qiu's paths are different from others.

The most difficult, unbelievable step, which seemed impossible for a lie to achieve, inexplicably fell at the beginning.

If it weren't for the fact that she had an extremely good relationship with Gu Yuqiu, she would inevitably think that the request was a lie, an excuse.

Unfortunately, it was true.

—Death was the beginning of the path that Gu Yuqiu had once walked.

Therefore, Gu Yuqiu's experience was of no use to it at all, because it could not possibly die once.

Thinking of this, the white cat meowed irritably, as if to say, "How long are you planning to keep arguing? Are you still not going to the Special Affairs Bureau?"

"Of course I'll go."

Su Yan picked up the white cat and placed it against her chest, saying, "But you have to come with me."

Songtang wondered why this was.

Su Yan guessed what it was thinking, glanced at Shen Muchan, and said meaningfully, "Because you and Gu Yuqiu are the root cause of the turmoil in Xin Chu."

Upon hearing this, Shen Muchan suddenly fell silent.

"My feelings for Gu Yuqiu are real, whether it's liking or anger."

Su Yan walked in the direction she left, her tone calm and indifferent, as if explaining to someone: "But I don't intend to give up the path I've chosen. Based on this, maintaining my relationship with her is something I must do."

Shen Muchan didn't understand why she could hear so much.

Yes, Su Yan is definitely a good person.

But precisely because she was a good person, she must have witnessed countless tragedies in the world.

Even if she is still passionate and hasn't forgotten her original aspirations, she will feel emotionally numb and find it difficult to empathize, or she may have learned to be indifferent and detached, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Perhaps this is why she cherishes her relationship with Gu Yuqiu so much?

Because this is the only emotion that truly belongs to her, the most private and personal thing, she is unwilling to give it up.

Thinking this, Shen Muchan's gaze fell on the back of the figure, and she noticed that the figure had suddenly stopped.

"idiot."

Su Yan said, "I am not a good person."

When she said this, her expression was somewhat wistful, and her voice was very soft.

However, this seemingly casual remark, when it reached Shen Muchan's ears, was even more terrifying than the previous thunderclap.

"Everything I do is the consequence of my choices."

Su Yan said calmly, "Of course, this doesn't mean that if I change my path, I have to become a bad person."

At this point, she suddenly laughed, her laughter tinged with a hint of nostalgia.

"After all, for someone like her who must walk with death to reach the end... there's probably only one path, and no other one?"

Shen Muchan understood that the "she" in the words referred to Gu Yuqiu.

The one from the past.

His surname is Huai.

His surname is not Gu.

Back then, Miss Huai wasn't as easy to talk to as Miss Gu is now...

Despite the immense humiliation she suffered because of the same person with a different surname, she could never forget it.

……

……

Gu Yuqiu is not talkative, extremely arrogant, and often acts in absurd and incomprehensible way, leaving people feeling utterly inexplicable.

This was the impression most members of the Special Affairs Bureau had of her; there were very few exceptions.

Interestingly, people don't dislike her; quite a few people, like Song Mingyu, have a good impression of her.

Even people of the same gender have a crush on her, let alone people of the opposite sex.

Even though Lu Xiu had specifically instructed that the news of Gu Yuqiu being invited into the interrogation room must be kept secret, the Special Affairs Bureau was still in turmoil at this moment.

—After all, there are quite a lot of people on and off that overpass.

As Lu Xiu left his office and prepared to take the elevator to the fourth basement floor where the interrogation room was located, the news spread rapidly among the witnesses present, attracting great attention.

"The bureau chief has entered the elevator."

"His expression was exactly the same as usual; you couldn't tell what he was thinking."

"Let the people in the interrogation room go first."

"Will you leave the coffee?"

"It's a pity I missed lunchtime, otherwise I would have gone to get a char siu rice."

"If we're having a meal, shouldn't we switch from coffee to cola?"

"So, is Pepsi or Coca-Cola better?"

"Stop, this is the time to talk about serious matters, stop with the nonsense."

"The bureau chief has gone to the fourth basement level."
