Chapter 26: The Twenty-Sixth Chapter - For You
The black malice that appeared in the dream was naturally a tactic commonly used by the Church of Sleepless Night.
Most extraordinary individuals do not have a good way to deal with this method. As their dreams are continuously eroded, their minds are affected until they are controlled by the Church of the Sleeping Souls.
Of course, the last scenario is rare, both because the changes in the person being affected are too obvious and because the Church of the Sleeping Demons rarely acts so directly.
The reason the Church of Youmian took action against Lin Mushi tonight is likely to find out why Mr. Zhuo died.
Thinking about all this, Gu Yuqiu's mood soured, and she jumped off the balcony.
It was late at night, and the whole city had quieted down, but the neon lights never disappeared, still illuminating the night sky and never going out.
Gu Yuqiu, however, didn't care at all, as if she wasn't worried about being discovered.
She looked again at the rooftop more than ten kilometers away, watching the believers of the Sleepless Church in shock, knowing that they would soon be leaving.
So she said something to the white cat.
"Hurry up."
……
……
For the vast majority of superhumans, the modern urban environment is not friendly, because there are simply too many surveillance cameras, enough to cover most places.
Whether it's the Church of the Sleeping Demons, the Will Walkers, or Blackstone, these notorious cults or organizations all prioritize solving surveillance issues when recruiting new members.
However, no matter what method is used, it is troublesome at the lower levels and must be used with great care.
Gu Yuqiu is indeed at the second level now, but she doesn't need to care about that because she has a very scary cat with her.
Songtang perched on her shoulder, falling together into the sky.
The night wind howled, and a deep chill surged in like a tide, but it never got close to the two of them.
Just as Gu Yuqiu fell to a certain height, the white cat suddenly growled, and then she floated up and disappeared into the night.
In an apartment building far away, a wind chime hanging on a tenant's window suddenly started ringing.
Then some more dust settled on the floor.
……
……
When Gu Yuqiu, with the white cat, leaped off the balcony of her home and swiftly traversed the modern city like the wind, the followers of the Youmian Church had only just come to their senses and realized what had just happened.
A female believer dressed in a black dress cautiously approached the man whom Gu Yuqiu had glanced at, gritted her teeth, and placed her hand on his forehead. Her expression immediately turned somewhat unpleasant.
As the newest bishop sent to Xin Chu by the Church of the Sleeping Souls, she was naturally more powerful than Mr. Zhuo; otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to investigate the cause of her predecessor's death.
However, she, who was even more accustomed to putting on airs than the easily angered Mr. Zhuo, was completely unable to calm down at this moment.
The reason is simple: the believer in front of her has completely broken down mentally.
What is going on here?
Since the day she began to believe in the Lord of the Sleeping God, she had never seen anything like this—a person's mind collapsing and dying the instant they entered a dream.
The female believer forced herself to calm down, controlled the slight trembling in her body, turned to look at her subordinates behind her, and said, "Take the person with you and prepare to leave this place."
The subordinates nearby nodded hurriedly and went to complete the work before the evacuation.
The female believer looked up at the night sky again, gazing at the towering buildings in front of her, and considering the distance between them. Her expression softened slightly.
She had investigated the two targets beforehand, and had a general idea of their strength. She was certain that even if the two girls guessed her location, they wouldn't be able to get there in time.
After the incident was discovered, the two girls had no choice but to report it to the Special Affairs Bureau. The Special Affairs Bureau had plenty of time to react, and she and her entourage left safely without leaving any trace.
But tonight's events were too bizarre. After pondering for a while, she decided to report the situation and then go to a safe house for three months to completely avoid this turmoil.
Just then, her subordinate's voice reached her ears.
"Everything is ready."
"Let's go."
Without hesitation, the female believer walked to the front, returned from the rooftop to the room, glanced at the surveillance camera, invaded the dream of the security guard on duty, and ordered the relevant information to be deleted. Then she came to an elevator.
The building she was in was extremely tall and naturally had a high-speed elevator installed. It was no slower than jumping off the building, so there was no need to leave in any other way.
Along with their mentally unstable subordinate, the four of them entered the elevator and pressed the button for their desired floor.
The sounds of the machinery operating reached the ears of the four people, and the elevator doors began to slowly close.
The female believer breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, she suddenly heard a soft click.
Immediately afterwards, a hand reached in and blocked the closing elevator door.
That hand was very white, and the nails were the perfect length; it had a beautiful feel to it.
The female believer looked solemnly at the slowly opening elevator doors.
The door opened, and she saw a face as exquisite as a painting, with flawless features.
And a Ragdoll cat perched on her shoulder, with an exceptionally sweet appearance.
She had never seen this cat before.
However, she recognized the face.
She had seen it in a dream of a special agent not long ago, and her first feeling was jealousy, followed by an uncontrollable urge to destroy.
But she shouldn't be seeing that face at this moment.
As she pondered these thoughts, the man's smile was reflected in her eyes, and her shock turned into despair.
Even though she was more powerful than Mr. Zhuo and had four capable confidants by her side, she still didn't have the courage to fight him.
A being who can arbitrarily destroy the minds of others, a being who can traverse more than ten kilometers in a very short time, a terrifyingly powerful being who clearly harbors a huge secret—that is simply not someone she can contend with.
What's the point of struggling anymore?
After extreme despair, there is often a calm as if one's heart has turned to ashes.
In a split second, the female believer smiled at the visitor, then called upon the name of God in her heart, preparing to leave her final message before passing away.
The next moment, her smile vanished.
Because God did not respond to her.
All calls were like stones and the sea, without a sound, as if even her god was afraid of the person before her.
Without hesitation, the female believer drew her dagger and plunged it into her own head at top speed, intending to kill herself physically.
Then she heard the sound of steel breaking.
No one knows when, but the dagger had been broken into more than ten pieces, and it was no longer recognizable as it was.
So the way she held the knife handle to her head looked inexplicably comical.
Yes, she is still alive.
The remaining people stared wide-eyed at the scene, completely stunned.
The visitor entered the elevator.
The door closed slowly.
Along with it came a voice.
"You can all die."
Gu Yuqiu lowered her hand and said indifferently, "But we'll have to wait a while."
Chapter 27: I Killed Them
Gu Yuqiu's smile faded, and she showed no intention of continuing to speak.
She had never done torture before, so she was naturally not good at it. Moreover, the people of the Church of the Sleeping Souls were always steadfast in their faith, so it was difficult for them to get information out of her after just a few words.
Of course, most importantly, she felt there was nothing to ask.
As long as it doesn't involve her true origins, it's all a trivial matter, and she has never had the habit of caring about trivial matters.
So the first thing she did was very simple.
Gu Yuqiu glanced at the believer who was in excruciating pain and screaming incessantly.
The elevator then fell silent again.
The other three watched this scene with nothing but despair in their hearts.
The elevator began to descend rapidly.
Gu Yuqiu raised his hand, his fingertips pointing towards the brow of the female believer in front of him who had failed to commit suicide, but he didn't completely touch her, leaving a little distance between them.
—I don’t know if it was because she thought it was dirty.
A chilling aura emanated from her fingertips and entered the female believer's mind, directly rummaging through her memories.
This method is inhumane. The most common outcome for those subjected to it is that they lose their self-awareness and live a meaningless, wasted life.
Because she usually disdains controlling her patients.
Among Gu Yuqiu's many nicknames, "Soul Shepherd" originated from this.
Although few people know that she simply disliked trouble, and those who fell into her hands often deserved to die.
As the chilling aura penetrated deeper, memories appeared like fragments, falling into Gu Yuqiu's eyes.
She quickly discarded those messy and useless fragments, and in an instant, she found the memories of tonight and the period before tonight.
Just as she learned of Mr. Zhuo's death and began to investigate who had sent this female believer...
The female believer's fragmented memories suddenly disappeared.
It was like falling into a vast, black ocean, being enveloped and absorbed by the waves.
For some reason, this vast ocean of consciousness, existing in the void, was raging with stormy waves, yet it exuded a warm, home-like atmosphere.
