What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

This question was naturally directed at Gu Yuqiu and Lin Mushi.

The people at the scene quickly led the way, and the secretary followed in a wheelchair at a moderate pace.

Zhong Chongshan suddenly asked, "Is Mr. Zhuo dead?"

"Although the body hasn't been examined in detail, it should be."

The special affairs officer hesitated for a moment before continuing, "However, the problem is that Mr. Zhuo died by beheading, so we probably won't be able to get any information."

Zhong Chongshan sighed.

In this world where supernatural powers truly exist, there are still very few abilities that actually involve the dead, but there happens to be one in Xin Chu's Special Affairs Bureau, on the condition that the body be intact.

He couldn't help but feel a little regretful, but he quickly composed himself because the finish line had been reached.

It was a limousine, and Gu Yuqiu and Lin Mushi were sitting in it, having been waiting for him for several minutes.

All eyes were on that spot.

Zhong Chongshan waved his hand, stopping his secretary from opening the car door, and said in a deep voice, "Thank you for your hard work."

The car window slowly rolled down, and Lin Mushi and Gu Yuqiu appeared in everyone's sight.

The former was slightly pale, and his clothes were stained with blood, but he seemed to be fine.

The latter's cascading silver hair had spread out, contrasting beautifully with her slightly pale complexion, creating a breathtakingly stunning look.

Zhong Chongshan looked at the two of them for a few seconds, then gave them a gentle smile and asked, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

Lin Mushi shook her head slightly, thinking that this was clearly just a polite remark.

Just then, she heard Gu Yuqiu's still lazy voice.

"Have."

"What is it?"

Zhong Chongshan asked earnestly.

Gu Yuqiu looked at him and casually said, "The quality of this hair tie is a bit poor; it breaks too easily. Go and order a batch to be made, otherwise it will be very troublesome when you kill someone."

Chapter 17: Suddenly Living Together

Zhong Chongshan paused for a moment before snapping out of his daze, then smiled and nodded, handing the matter over to his secretary.

Then he continued, "Is there anything else?"

Gu Yuqiu shook her head slightly, indicating that was all.

Zhong Chongshan breathed a sigh of relief, then suppressed his smile and said seriously, "This matter tonight was too sudden and had a very bad impact. If you hadn't killed Mr. Zhuo, the Special Affairs Bureau would have been under a lot of pressure. For this, I must thank you."

Gu Yuqiu hummed in agreement.

Lin Mushi was already used to her attitude, so she naturally stepped forward, took over the conversation, and said a few polite words.

After a few words, Zhong Chongshan cleared his throat and asked with a solemn expression, "So what happened tonight? Why did the Church of the Sleeping Souls suddenly change its tune and attack you?"

The previous concern and condolences were just routine formalities; compared to those insignificant trifles, this issue was the real reason he came to the scene.

Gu Yuqiu remained silent.

Lin Mushi thought to herself, "If you become mute at this point, won't you attract even more attention?"

Thinking about all this, she subconsciously picked up the conversation and explained, "That Mr. Zhuo didn't say anything, but it seems he's planning to capture us alive."

"Capture them alive?"

Zhong Chongshan frowned and said, "What's the reason? Do you have any guesses?"

Lin Mushi was silent for a moment, then looked at Gu Yuqiu and said in a complicated tone, "Perhaps it's because... she's too beautiful, and the Youmian Church wants to invite her back to be a saintess?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent.

All eyes were on Gu Yuqiu.

A moment later, even the secretary who had some reservations about her sighed sincerely and reluctantly admitted that this was probably the truth.

Even Zhong Chongshan and Gu Yuqiu, after exchanging glances for a few seconds, had to admit that they agreed with this statement—because this face was indeed too beautiful.

"Ok."

He stopped dwelling on that question and instead asked, "How did Mr. Zhuo die?"

As he said this, he turned to look at Lin Mushi.

"I killed him."

Gu Yuqiu suddenly said, "The details are quite complicated. If I were to describe them accurately, it would take about eight thousand words. It would be very troublesome to explain them in detail now."

Zhong Chongshan fell silent.

He looked at Gu Yuqiu again and said with great patience, "How about keeping it as brief as possible?"

If Mr. Zhuo hadn't died on the spot, and Gu Yuqiu and Lin Mushi hadn't already made such a great contribution, it would have been very difficult for him to maintain such a gentle attitude.

Gu Yuqiu said, "That person was careless when he ambushed Lin Mushi, and as a result, I beheaded him."

Zhong Chongshan silently turned his head and looked at Lin Mushi once again.

Lin Mushi thought this was true and nodded without hesitation, saying, "She's right, that's how it is."

Zhong Chongshan remained silent for a long time before saying, "If there are no other questions, you can go back and rest. As for the details... remember to write them down clearly in the report."

After saying this, he raised his hand to signal his secretary to push the wheelchair in the direction they had come from.

The sound of the car window rolling down reached his ears.

Looking at the media gathered behind the cordon, Zhong Chongshan remembered something and said to his secretary, "Have you investigated Gu Yuqiu's background and origins?"

The secretary replied, "Her background is indeed very good. She comes from a wealthy family, has both parents, and has a younger sister who is still in school. There is nothing wrong with her."

"What about the background?" Zhong Chongshan asked.

The position of special advisor in the Special Affairs Bureau offers excellent salary and benefits, is mostly quite relaxed, and allows unconditional access to numerous papers on ascending to godhood—a position many extraordinary individuals dream of.

Such positions are naturally highly competitive and are not jobs that just anyone can get.

The secretary lowered her voice and said, "She seems to have a significant connection with the Cataclysmic Messenger. We haven't confirmed who it is yet, but she must hold a high position."

Upon hearing this reply, Zhong Chongshan frowned slightly.

As a borderless, non-profit humanitarian relief organization, the Messenger of Disasters has remained true to its original mission since the Reiki Resurrection 23 years ago.

This consistent style of speaking and acting naturally earned the respect of the entire world. Moreover, among the messengers of natural disasters was one of the seven peak fifth-tier beings, known as the Innocent Queen, a supreme powerhouse who was almost a god in the mortal world.

"Continue the investigation."

After a moment of silence, Zhong Chongshan continued, "Also, go back now and tell Lin Mushi to go with Gu Yuqiu, the reason being to prevent the Youmian Church from coming again."

The secretary thought for a moment, then understood what he meant.

Mr. Zhuo's death tonight was too abnormal, and there are still unclear aspects about Gu Yuqiu's background. Therefore, placing Lin Mushi by her side can at least serve as an obstacle.

Most importantly, this was a logical decision that fully demonstrated Zhong Chongshan's care for his subordinates, and no one could say anything about it.

Moreover, Gu Yuqiu and Lin Mushi are the same gender, so there is no inconvenience in living together.

……

……

Not long after, the blockade began to be lifted and the highway was reopened to traffic.

Despite the dramatic events of tonight, involving the death of a bishop from the Church of the Sleeping Dead, the Special Affairs Bureau has maintained good efficiency.

Of course, the real key issue is that the incident occurred in the city center, and prolonged traffic congestion can easily cause various problems, making it impossible to close the road for too long.

Lin Mushi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the scenery below, pondering these unimportant questions, her mood having been complicated for a long time.

She slowly turned around, looking at the spacious living room behind her, still feeling a bit lost and confused.

Just then, Gu Yuqiu's voice reached her ears.

"Do you dislike this place?"

"No...no."

Lin Mushi looked in the direction of the sound and saw Gu Yuqiu wearing a black nightgown, barefoot, with her silver hair draped over her shoulders and slightly damp, clearly having just come out of the shower.

She shook her head and said, "I just feel that living alone in a place like this is too spacious, and I'm not used to it."

Gu Yuqiu raised an eyebrow slightly and chuckled, "So that's why you've been sitting here in a daze after getting caught in the rain, instead of taking a shower?"

Lin Mushi didn't know what to say.

Not long ago, after the secretary relayed Zhong Chongshan's decision to her, he turned and left without giving her any room to refuse.

So she returned here once again.

She had originally planned to discuss the matter with Gu Yuqiu, hoping to persuade Zhong Chongshan to change his mind from a practical standpoint, resolve the issue properly, and allow everyone to go back to their own homes.

Even if not everyone has a mother, everyone has a home, and very few people dislike their home.

Unfortunately, she soon realized that Gu Yuqiu had many secrets and would definitely not accept the offer, so she remained silent and alone until now.

Gu Yuqiu guessed what she was thinking and found it very interesting. He deliberately said, "If you have trouble sleeping in a new bed, I can tell Zhong Chongshan that you can stay at your house."

Chapter 18: The Eighteenth Good Night

Lin Mushi knew she was making fun of her, so she rolled her eyes at her and didn't bother to say anything.

Gu Yuqiu didn't mind. She turned around, took out two cans of cola from the refrigerator, placed them on the small table in front of the French windows, and quietly looked at the scenery outside the window.

Lin Mushi touched the can with her fingertip, frowned slightly, and said, "Do you still drink cold things in winter?"

Gu Yuqiu glanced at her and said, "Isn't the best thing about being a superhuman being the ability to try all sorts of things that ordinary people can't?"

Lin Mushi thought about it seriously and found that it made sense. So he opened the bottle cap, took a sip, and let out a sigh full of pleasure.

Then she looked into Gu Yuqiu's eyes and asked seriously, "I want to know how you killed Mr. Zhuo."

Gu Yuqiu wondered what reason she should come up with.

"First of all, I want to make it clear to you that this is my personal opinion and I have not received any orders from my superiors."
