"You guessed it."
Gu Yuqiu looked at her quietly and said gently, "The time to fulfill the conditions you promised me before is tonight."
The past few days have been peaceful. The battle on the overpass the day before yesterday was nothing more than a trivial matter to Shen Muchan.
So much so that she was living such a comfortable life that she almost forgot the first of the three conditions she had agreed to.
—At a necessary time, draw the attention of the Special Affairs Bureau to Gu Yuqiu.
She recalled this fact, remained silent for a long time, then looked up at Gu Yuqiu and asked in a deep voice, "Are you serious?"
Gu Yuqiu retorted, "Do you think I would make such a joke?"
Despite being indoors with the underfloor heating on, Shen Muchan suddenly felt a bit cold.
It wasn't a physical sensation, but a tremor from the deepest part of the heart.
"I was wrong."
Shen Muchan said self-deprecatingly, "I actually thought you had turned over a new leaf and weren't so cold-blooded and ruthless. How naive and laughable I was, just like Lin Mushi."
In the past, she would never have mentioned Lin Mushi's name and used it to mock herself.
The difference at this moment was that she rarely felt a sense of shared suffering.
Gu Yuqiu's request seemed ordinary, but it was extremely unusual tonight, because the Special Affairs Bureau was certainly unaware that the Pope was about to arrive.
The reason is simple: Lu Xiu is not as good as her and Song Tang, so how could he perceive the truth under the cover of night?
Once she appears and draws the Special Affairs Bureau's attention, the Pope will be able to easily find Lin Mushi by following the clues from the previous day's battle.
Even if the Pope could sense the implications of the arrangement and know that it was a calculated move, his choice would not change, and he would still keep his appointment.
This is related to the fact that he is the number one person in the fifth rank, but more importantly, the marks on Lin Mushi's body are real.
Then, the special affairs bureau members, whose attention had been drawn to her sudden appearance, had no choice but to abandon their encirclement of her after learning of the Pope's arrival.
"Should I thank you for considering how I could get out of this mess?" Shen Muchan asked, looking into her eyes with emotion.
Gu Yuqiu said calmly, "No need."
Shen Muchan was quiet for a moment, then asked, "What about Lin Mushi? Have you considered her?"
Gu Yuqiu said indifferently, "I have my own plans."
Shen Muchan thought to herself that she probably would never be able to learn to be so cold-blooded and ruthless in her entire life.
She could, of course, ignore those who were unrelated to her, treating them merely as simple numbers... but that was all.
Gu Yuqiu looked at her and said, "Do you have any other questions?"
"Probably not..."
Shen Muchan paused, changed her mind, and finally asked, "What's the point of all this?"
The so-called meaning.
Why did you create trouble for the Pope, making it easy for him to see Lin Mushi and find the traces you left behind?
Gu Yuqiu only said one sentence about this.
"The sacred artifact in the underground of the New Chu Special Affairs Bureau is the Lost Void Slash."
……
……
That church.
The door was never closed, and countless dreams twinkled like stars, creating an unreal feeling.
The pope, dressed in white robes, remained seated before the enormous stained-glass window depicting the divine, his head slightly bowed, not glancing behind him, maintaining his silence.
The light emanating from the dream, filtered through the deep blue glass window, left only pure blue. Only the eyes of the gods did not reflect this, but truthfully mirrored the complexity of the dream.
The Pope slowly raised his head and looked at the God, his deep pupils, like an endless sea of stars, as if trying to find something within them.
He quickly averted his gaze and stopped his disrespectful behavior.
Then he whispered something inaudible, as if explaining his disrespect to the gods, but after a while it seemed more like he was talking to himself, questioning himself.
This eerie scene didn't last long.
The Pope returned to the statue, picked up the ancient book, and then turned to face the equally ancient door.
Unlike last time, he looked at the flashing image at the door and began to move forward.
As he walked slowly forward, the church gradually became ethereal, with the dome and walls disappearing.
Only that deep blue glass remains.
When he reached the gate, even the glass was gone, leaving only the god emerging from it.
The deity stood amidst countless stars, his face illuminated. The flickering light resembled ever-changing expressions, symbolizing anger, tyranny, or something else entirely.
The light of the dream sea shone brighter and brighter, exuding an extremely violent aura, indicating that many people would encounter a nightmare tonight.
The white-robed pope didn't even glance at them, as if they were all illusions if he couldn't see them.
Then, those violent feelings slowly subsided and gradually returned to silence.
The sea of stars is no longer turbulent.
He sighed, a complex emotion swirling in his eyes, and stepped into the light ahead.
Beneath the light lies the new Chu.
That was also where his hope lay.
……
……
At the same time, the New Chu Special Affairs Bureau encountered a sudden and major event.
— Crimson appeared.
On Christmas Eve, many people in Xinchu took the opportunity to have a happy date. The cold wind and dark clouds could not dampen their enthusiasm. The bustling places were exceptionally lively and noisy.
To prevent any unexpected incidents of superhumans going berserk, the Special Affairs Bureau had no choice but to deploy a large number of personnel, dispersed in crowded areas, to ensure that no safety incidents would occur.
With such a high level of surveillance, it's impossible to miss any famous figures on the Special Affairs Bureau's wanted list.
For example, deep red.
When Shen Muchan appeared openly in the center of the crossroads with her original appearance, standing under the gaze of countless cameras and superhumans...
Almost simultaneously, a tsunami-like roar erupted in the Special Affairs Bureau's internal communication system, relaying the message to higher management at top speed.
Three seconds later, Lu Xiu, who was in the Special Affairs Bureau building, learned of the news and issued the corresponding instructions. His reaction speed was equally impeccable.
Special agents and police received orders to begin carrying out their respective tasks.
Many ordinary people at the crossroads looked at Crimson, and some of them recognized her and cried out in horror.
The scene suddenly descended into chaos.
Those extraordinary individuals who were rushing headlong towards the crimson extremities turned pale, as if they foresaw the horrific scene that was about to unfold.
At the very moment all of this happened.
The world suddenly fell silent.
In that instant, time seemed to stand still throughout the entirety of Xin Chu.
A setting sun broke through the dark clouds, dispelling the vast darkness of night and casting a warm, orange glow.
The world was bathed in a warm, red glow.
For the first time, the sacred and the secular truly intersected in the new Chu.
Shen Muchan stood at the center of the world, looking up at those who came from all directions to die, and calmly said, "Welcome to my world."
Chapter 130: Chapter 128 I Heard You've Always Wanted to See Me
The world fell into absolute silence.
Angry, panicked, brave, willing to pay any price...
All sorts of sounds had ceased to exist. Even the extraordinary beings, carrying an extremely strong sense of power, swooped down from all directions, but could only remain suspended in mid-air, like a painting.
This reckless and all-out charge ended abruptly before it even reached its peak.
Shen Muchan remained calm.
Therefore, she simply raised her head, glanced around, and casually said a sentence.
Welcome to my world.
The meaning of this sentence is exceptionally concise; it seems arrogant but does not feel swaggering, but rather has an extremely eerie sense of tranquility.
This feeling may be related to the sunset breaking through the darkness, but it should come more from the girl herself, with her inescapable weariness.
However, this has no impact on the actual outcome.
She glanced around.
Those teams of second-tier and third-tier superhumans instantly lost control of their bodies and could only helplessly freeze in the instant the girl saw them.
As for the ordinary people at the crossroads, they had already fallen into absolute silence.
Many people want to swear because of this, but find themselves unable to utter a word.
In the dead silence, only the biting cold wind could be heard.
Shen Muchan looked away.
She was still so short.
Her figure, however, became incredibly tall.
Like a god.
It is as high as the sky.
