Lu Xiu stood at the now extremely empty crossroads, his head slightly bowed.

Behind him are countless ordinary people who have lost their self-awareness and are unable to even feel fear.

Suddenly, he raised his hand and put it to his lips.

A coughing sound followed immediately.

There was also fresh blood.

He straightened up and looked ahead, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stared expressionlessly at the short girl.

Shen Muchan laughed.

The girl's lips curled up slightly.

The twilight, no longer as fiery as blood, fell into her dimples, and it was quite beautiful.

Yet it is also extremely terrifying.

She looked at Lu Xiu and asked with a smile, "I heard you've been looking for me lately?"

Chapter 131: Chapter 129 The Same Character "怀"

I heard you wanted to see me, and now that I've come to find you, is there anything you want to say?

Shen Muchan's tone was ordinary, but her meaning was clear enough, and she was naturally proud.

Lu Xiu was silent for a moment, then looked at her and said, "Yes, because I have a very simple question that I'd like to ask you what your opinion is."

"Ok?"

Shen Muchan gave a nasal "hmm," still as casual as ever.

Lu Xiu glanced at the crowd behind him and asked seriously, "Are you prepared to spend the rest of your life being hunted down, without even a second to catch your breath, never seeing the light of day again, and only finding peace when you die?"

Shen Muchan stretched out her hand, pointed to the setting sun in the sky, and said, "Isn't this the sun in the sky?"

Lu Xiu said, "Since you are prepared to replace the truth with falsehood, to travel day and night, then I will accept your foolish pride."

"Pity."

Shen Muchan's smile remained unchanged, but her emotions were at their worst. She said, "I can't find any reason to accept your threats."

Lu Xiu was silent for a moment, then laughed.

The laughter was particularly grating.

He spoke as if he'd heard a really lame joke, and said in a deep voice, "Crimson, do you really think you've won against me?"

The outcome of their previous encounter seemed to have ended with him being injured and vomiting blood, putting him at a disadvantage, which marked the end of the first phase.

In fact, even after entering the Crimson Sanctuary alone, he still managed to suppress the Crimson. If it weren't for the inevitable deviation in their control over their own power after countless clashes, which prevented them from fully concentrating their power and ultimately leaking it into the surrounding world, the final outcome of the battle would have continuously favored him.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs," only the result remains.

As the aftershocks rose, dust surged like a roaring wave, so he had to instantly transform into millions of beings, standing in front of people to block this terrifying shockwave and prevent the tragedy from happening.

That's the reason for the blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Now the two are standing in the same position, both with the same injuries, and their combat strength is no longer different.

Do you have the right to ask me to joke with you?

Shen Muchan glanced at the ordinary people and asked with a smile, "Or would you like to witness me threatening you according to your own words?"

Lu Xiu remained silent.

Before tonight, his understanding of Crimson was limited to the Special Affairs Bureau's information. According to the relevant written or video records, the other party was fully capable of killing him and then leaving him behind, walking away at will.

The realm of time is something that ordinary extraordinary beings can hardly reach.

This is precisely why Crimson is considered the number one person, second only to those seven near-god level experts.

"You can avoid being held accountable."

Lu Xiu suddenly said, "But I have some questions for you, including a deal, which is the premise of everything."

Shen Muchan raised an eyebrow slightly and said mockingly, "Don't you think your politician-like demeanor is disgusting?"

Every extraordinary individual who has reached the fifth rank has already known what they desire in their heart, possesses an extremely firm will, and will not easily change their mind about what they have decided.

In other words, when such determination is completely crushed and trampled into the mud, the shadow left behind is difficult to erase, and even time cannot wash it away.

This is also why she cannot disobey Gu Yuqiu.

Why does it feel disgusting?

Lu Xiu calmly said, "This is just a means for me to achieve my goal. When you're starving to death, do you still care whether the bowl of tofu pudding in front of you is sweet or savory?"

"Fallacy."

Shen Muchan paused for a moment, then said, "But I quite like it. I can use it to tease people in the future. So let's hear what you have to say."

Lu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression remained unchanged as he asked, "Why did you choose to make your move tonight?"

Shen Muchan chuckled and said, "Can't figure it out?"

Lu Xiu did not speak.

As an internationally renowned metropolis, Xinchu has been experiencing continuous wind and rain for the past three months. To ensure local safety, a large number of personnel have been transferred from other places, including many well-known strategists.

Based on the information currently available to the Special Affairs Bureau, if Crimson is mentally sound, there is no reason for her to suddenly take action.

Therefore, when Lu Xiu learned of Crimson's appearance, he was momentarily stunned and didn't react immediately, arriving a little late.

He followed the bolt of lightning into the twilight world, expecting to see a mad, crimson figure, but instead, he was met with a small, rational girl.

"Yes."

Lu Xiu looked into the deep red eyes and said, "I can't think of a single reason why you would take action, and besides..."

He glanced at the superhumans around him whose time had been frozen, and added, "It's very unusual that you didn't even kill them."

Every fifth-rank individual is a highly influential figure. As long as they haven't committed an unforgivable mistake, they can be pardoned and will not be held accountable for their past actions in any country in the world.

In this situation, even if there are many reasons behind the existence of a fifth-tier wanted person, they are still an extremely dangerous entity.

For these fifth-order beings, killing is probably more common than drinking water.

“I’m not like those brain-damaged idiots who enjoy killing.”

Shen Muchan said, "Don't compare me to those idiots."

The fact that she used two swear words in a single sentence indicates that she was in a bad mood, or rather, very bad.

The question is, why is it bad?

Lu Xiu pondered this question, feeling as if he were still shrouded in mystery, and repeated, "I need to know your reasons for taking action."

Shen Muchan met his gaze and remained silent.

The world was quiet.

The setting sun cast its blood-red glow, and a chilly wind, seemingly from nowhere, made a barely audible sound.

Lu Xiu felt a pang of regret, his right hand quietly clenching into a fist, preparing for the battle to come.

Just then, the girl's voice rang out.

“She didn’t say I couldn’t talk about it, so this is something I can talk about.”

Shen Muchan said slowly, "I made a promise to someone, and this is what she asked me to do. You can think of it as a transaction."

Lu Xiu was slightly taken aback and subconsciously asked, "Who is that person?"

Shen Muchan looked at him like an idiot, thinking to herself, "How could you even ask that?"

These are words she could never say aloud.

The sentence above could be used as an excuse later, suggesting that Gu Yuqiu hadn't explained it, leaving a lot of room for maneuver, but the names were still different.

That's no different from betrayal.

If her betrayal could bring Gu Yuqiu death, then betraying her wouldn't matter. What if she didn't die?

What kind of ending awaits her?

After just a little thought, countless images flashed through her mind, and she immediately abandoned the decision, leaving herself room for maneuver.

What is the purpose?

Lu Xiu continued to ask.

"You'll have to ask that person."

Shen Muchan casually said, "As for why that person wanted me to do this, what does it have to do with me? I'm just an innocent nobody."

Lu Xiu frowned and said, "Who has the right to treat you as a nobody?"

Shen Muchan looked into his eyes and said with a half-smile, "You're right. Who has the qualifications? It's a really puzzling question."

Lu Xiu thought this information should be enough, and raised his right hand, ready to throw that fist.

Shen Muchan remained calm and said nothing, only looking up at the sky.

In the afterglow of the setting sun.

For those extraordinary individuals who risked their lives from all directions, time remained frozen in mid-air, and they were not bound by gravity and fell to the ground.

She glanced at it casually.

These extraordinary beings then fell down one after another, like ants.

Bang bang bang!

Countless sounds of varying intensity echoed from the crossroads and the surrounding high-rise buildings.

The scene descended into utter chaos. As Shen Muchan's gaze swept across the area, the frozen time within these extraordinary beings resumed its flow, only to find themselves extremely weak, having lost almost all their power. Helplessly, they began to fall, shattering glass and breaking the ground...

Some are even hung on streetlights.

This bizarre scene appeared suddenly, and even Lu Xiu couldn't stop it in time. After stopping dozens of people from falling, he had no choice but to give up.

Soon, the process was over.

Then, what reached Lu Xiu's ears were countless screams, all blending together.
