"I disdain killing ordinary people."

Shen Muchan said indifferently, "Then do you want to take a gamble and see if I kill your colleagues?"

Lu Xiu did not speak.

Shen Muchan found this somewhat interesting and said, "Or are you going to tell me on behalf of these people that their death was worthwhile and without regrets?"

Lu Xiu could no longer remain silent.

This accusation was too serious, a charge he was unwilling to bear.

That's enough for now.

He said, "Since none of this is your will."

As the screams faded, the recovered Special Affairs Bureau agents and superhumans stared at Lu Xiu's retreating figure, stunned by his words.

—In their understanding, the Special Affairs Bureau never accepts threats, let alone such extreme arrogance. Has the situation in Xin Chu deteriorated to the extreme?

Or are all important figures cut from the same cloth, with fickle and ruthless temperaments?

……

……

The Pope is still not one.

Judging from his appearance, his features are very soft, giving him a gentle feeling, like a refreshing spring breeze, containing countless beauties.

He can be judged by his appearance most of the time, because that's just who he is.

Otherwise, how could he have survived all those years after meeting Gu Yuqiu?

It's simply that he has no desire to fight or be aggressive, prefers to sit quietly in that secluded church, and doesn't even want to get involved in the affairs of the Church of the Sleeping Souls.

Therefore, Lin Mushi could not believe Zhong Chongshan's conclusion that the Pope was preparing to directly destroy the entire Xin Chu.

Therefore, when she saw the young man in white robes appear before her and give her a gentle smile, she couldn't help but think it was an illusion.

Until that sacred, almost divine voice reached her ears.

"I am the Pope you speak of."

The Pope looked at Lin Mushi and said with a smile, "I came here to see you and, incidentally, to handle the funeral arrangements for an old friend."

Lin Mushi forced herself to calm down, and asked in a slightly trembling voice, "An old friend?"

The Pope said, "You may know her; her last name is Huai."

"Huai?"

Lin Mushi was stunned.

Many days ago, she had heard the same word from Gu Yuqiu's mouth.

Chapter 132: The Slash of the Lost Void

Seeing the change in her expression, the Pope said, "Since you're not completely ignorant, things will be much easier to discuss from here on out..."

Lin Mushi suddenly asked, "Pregnant with what?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Chongshan, who was sitting to the side, suddenly became serious. His gaze on Lin Mushi was full of surprise, and he thought to himself, "How dare you interrupt the Pope?"

From a purely rational perspective, the best thing the two of them should do at this moment is to remain silent, act as listeners, and then think about how to spread the news of the Pope's early arrival.

More importantly, what's so important about this issue?

Can one person's name really change the current situation?

"Pregnant with what?"

The Pope recalled some past events and said with a smile, "Anyway, it's not pregnancy."

Lin Mushi did not speak.

Zhong Chongshan wondered if there was some secret behind those words, otherwise it would be too lame.

"Feel sorry."

Seeing that neither of them could laugh, the Pope said apologetically, "After I learned that her surname was Huai, I always wanted to say this to others, but at that time I couldn't beat her, so I could only endure it. Now that you suddenly asked me... I couldn't help it."

This is obviously a joke, but it's a bit lame and a bit cheesy.

Lin Mushi looked at him and said, "You are very different from the person I imagined."

In most people's imagination, a competent important person, even if not always with a cold face, should at least speak appropriately and cautiously, and should not be so casual.

The Pope's attitude at this moment is completely out of step with the situation and lacks any sense of seriousness.

It felt like visiting as a guest, or like having a casual chat after a meal.

This could certainly be interpreted as unparalleled confidence, but Lin Mushi felt it wasn't, because... at this moment, the Pope seemed too much like a good person.

"I am not a good person."

The Pope guessed what she was thinking, glanced at Zhong Chongshan, and said with a self-deprecating smile, "As a cult leader in the eyes of many countries, my fondness for the word 'love' has nothing to do with me."

Lin Mushi was silent for a moment, then said, "So your current gentleness is all because of that person surnamed Huai?"

"Yes."

The Pope acknowledged it without any hesitation.

Lin Mushi looked into her eyes and asked seriously, "So, do you like that person? Or, to put it bluntly, are you her simp?"

The office was quiet, and the sound of the wind grew clearer.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Chongshan couldn't help but look at Lin Mushi, thinking to himself, "Just how desperate are you?"

It's enough to just like someone, why add the word "simp" to it?

The Pope was not angry. He shook his head and said, "No, whether it's liking or what you call a simp, it's not the relationship between her and me."

His voice remained as gentle as ever, and his expression remained unchanged.

"They're not friends."

He continued, "We've only met a few times, which is why I told you earlier that I came for an old friend, not an old acquaintance."

Lin Mushi looked at him and said, "Then I think what you did was very unreasonable."

The Pope nodded once, then twice.

The meaning is "to ask for advice".

“I have never heard of anyone walking to someone’s funeral just because they have met them a few times.”

Lin Mushi's tone was cold: "If you clearly have ulterior motives, then don't say it openly. What's the point besides making people think you're hypocritical?"

This time, Zhong Chongshan was too lazy to look at her anymore. He just sighed inwardly and wondered where she got the courage from.

The Pope was somewhat surprised and asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid of me?"

Without hesitation, Lin Mushi replied, "I'm afraid."

The Pope was slightly taken aback and asked, "Then why did you dare to say these things to me?"

"I've been influenced too much by someone lately."

Lin Mushi thought of Gu Yuqiu and then said, "Anyway, I definitely can't beat you. Instead of begging for mercy, I might as well curse you a couple of times first."

The Pope sighed and said, "It doesn't even use a single swear word, so how can this be considered an insult?"

Lin Mushi shook her head, stared into his eyes and said, "It's precisely because I don't use any swear words that you still feel uncomfortable, that's what makes a successful insult."

The Pope smiled and remained silent, showing no sign of anger.

For him, this was a trivial matter, and there was no reason to be angry.

Lin Mushi thought of this, frowned slightly, and asked, "Why are you talking so much nonsense to me?"

Yes, these seem to contain a lot of information and explain the relationship between that person and the Pope.

But the Pope had no need to talk to Lin Mushi so much, even letting her interrupt him and hurl several insults at him.

No matter how magnanimous a person is, there is no reason for them to be scolded for no reason, so there must be a reason behind it.

"I already said that."

The Pope said calmly, "I came to Xinchu this time not only to handle the funeral arrangements for an old friend, but also to see you and have a chat."

Lin Mushi fell silent.

She looked at Zhong Chongshan sitting to the side and asked with her eyes, "What is this?"

Zhong Chongshan thought to himself, "How would I know?"

Both were helpless and remained silent, feeling that the development of this matter was utterly inexplicable.

The moment the Pope arrived, both she and he believed that what followed was a tragic, one-sided battle with no chance of victory...

Who would have thought things would turn out this way?

"why?"

Lin Mushi couldn't help but ask, "What is it about me that's worth your attention?"

The Pope smiled and said, "For someone at the third rank to face a fourth rank expert standing at the pinnacle, isn't that something that deserves my special attention?"

Lin Mushi said, "No matter how strong Theresa is, even if she eventually reaches the fifth rank, she is still nothing compared to you."

The Pope said, "Even if you have fear in your heart, you can still be fearless of power and have the courage to speak your mind. This kind of mentality is very important for extraordinary people."

Lin Mushi felt increasingly awkward and said, "There are many people who are not afraid of death. Even if you don't look for them in history books, you can pick up any random person on the street, and they might be willing to risk their lives for money."

The Pope didn't seem to mind, saying, "What I admire more about you is your composure. In just half a month, after experiencing so many things, your status is vastly different from before, yet you are still able to remain calm and composed."

Lin Mushi remained silent for a long time before saying, "This is probably because I haven't found an opportunity to pretend yet."

The Pope extended his hand, clapped sincerely, and praised, "Your constant honesty and unwavering commitment to your original aspirations are what make you truly unique."

Lin Mushi thought to herself, what else can I say?

Zhong Chongshan, standing to the side, was completely bewildered. He gradually went from disbelief to some extent believing, thinking that he might have focused too much attention on Gu Yuqiu in the past, which led to some oversights.

Otherwise, why would the Pope persist in his views despite Lin Mushi's repeated denials?
