next moment.

With a soft popping sound.

The minds of the four believers in the elevator suddenly exploded.

Blood and brain matter began to flow, and a foul odor quickly filled the enclosed space of the elevator.

Gu Yuqiu's face was not stained with blood, and her clothes remained as clean as before.

She glanced at the four headless corpses, then raised her head and looked up at the deep night sky, as if she were making eye contact with someone.

……

……

The deaths of those four believers were not entirely unexpected by Gu Yuqiu.

She knew very well that the creature she had left in New Chu held immense appeal for the Church of the Sleeping Souls, and that the Pope was certainly watching it closely.

However, she was used to doing things in the same old way, and was too reckless, which aroused the other party's attention in advance. She killed the four people directly, and then they exchanged a glance from a distance.

However, it was a minor matter, and she wasn't bothered by it. She glanced at the situation inside the elevator one last time, then turned and left.

The elevator carrying the headless corpse continued to operate peacefully.

It was as if no one had ever been there.

……

……

At four o'clock in the morning, Lin Mushi was woken up by a phone call.

She opened her eyes with great difficulty, looked at her phone screen, and was about to complain about who was being so inhuman in the middle of the night when she suddenly saw the caller ID.

The next second, she was fully awake and answered the phone as quickly as possible.

On the other end of the phone was Zhong Chongshan, and his voice sounded slightly tired.

"Notify Gu Yuqiu that you two must come to Jun'an Center immediately, as quickly as possible. It is related to the Youmian Church."

"clear."

The receiver went dead. Lin Mushi lifted the covers and then discovered something quite unexpected.

Why is her sleeping posture so normal today?

She was well aware of her problem in this area. Before she became a superhuman, she had caught a cold several times because she would lift the covers off her clothes, and she still hasn't been able to change it.

Moreover, Gu Yuqiu is a truly wealthy woman, and her home is well-maintained with excellent facilities, keeping the temperature in a comfortable, spring-like environment.

When the two of them are at home, they usually wear thin loungewear, so her sleeping posture problem has even shown signs of worsening.

Lin Mushi found it a little strange, but didn't think much of it, assuming it was just because she had grown up.

She quickly changed her clothes, hesitated for a moment, grabbed an extra hair tie, and then opened the door.

Then she was very surprised to find that she was actually in good spirits and did not feel tired at all from waking up in the middle of the night. She could even hear the faint sound of water coming from the bathroom.

How is this going?

Feeling an unprecedented mental state, she subconsciously walked towards the bathroom, stood outside the door and asked, "Why are you taking a shower at this hour?"

Gu Yuqiu's voice reached her ears.

Suddenly I felt a bit dirty.

"what?"

Lin Mushi was quite puzzled, thinking, "You never go out all day long, and your house is always very clean, so why would you have such a feeling?"

Without thinking much, she said, "Don't take a bath, just rinse yourself off with the shower. Director Zhong called to inform us that the situation is urgent."

Gu Yuqiu hummed in agreement.

Despite this, Lin Mushi still waited outside the door for quite a while, a full five minutes.

In fact, this speed is relatively good, because Gu and Qiu usually soak in the bathtub for a long time, so it would never be this simple.

The bathroom door was opened.

Gu Yuqiu was still the same as usual, with a casual expression, walking barefoot, her slightly damp silver hair cascading down her back, beautifully contrasting with her black nightgown.

Lin Mushi said somewhat helplessly, "Could you go a little faster?"

Gu Yuqiu glanced at her and found it quite amusing, but he didn't deliberately slow down.

The white cat, sitting at a distance and unable to follow into the bathroom, watched this scene quietly, and couldn't help but feel surprised.

It was very clear about its comrade's temperament, mainly the bad aspects.

Just as it was surprised, Lin Mushi suddenly came over, picked it up and started petting it skillfully, interrupting its thoughts.

Listening to the pleasant snoring, her emotions calmed down and she waited for Gu Yuqiu to change her clothes.

Lin Mushi went to greet him, and just as they were about to go out together, she suddenly noticed a problem.

"and many more."

"what happened?"

Gu Yuqiu turned to look at her, thinking to herself, "Why do you always have so many troubles?"

Lin Mushi did not answer, turned around and ran into her room, returning with a wooden comb in her hand.

Before Gu Yuqiu could say anything, she grasped the cascading silver hair and began to carefully tidy it, whispering, "Your hair is all messy, you don't even pay attention to it, I have to comb it for you."

Gu Yuqiu didn't know what to say.

Lin Mushi remembered the important matter at hand and, fearing that she might think he was being irresponsible, quickly said, "It will be quick, it won't take much time."

"It doesn't matter whether it's a waste of time or not," Gu Yuqiu said.

"why?"

Lin Mushi had just put down the wooden comb and was about to go back to her room to put it away when she heard this and turned around to look at her in surprise.

Gu Yuqiu casually said, "Because I killed him."

Chapter 28: Your Name

Lin Mushi blinked, wondering if she had misheard.

Not only were people frightened by this statement, but also a fat white cat.

It suddenly stood up from the sofa, stared at Gu Yuqiu with wide eyes, and thought to itself, "How could you have told anyone?"

"impossible."

Lin Mushi thought about it carefully, then took out her phone to look at the message from the Special Affairs Bureau, and then checked the distance from here to Junan Center on the map. She then thought it was just a joke.

She looked up at Gu Yuqiu and said helplessly, "Although I know it's annoying to be called to work in the middle of the night, you can't say things like that."

The white cat breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this was how it was; it wasn't that you had replaced me.

Gu Yuqiu said nothing and walked towards the door.

Lin Mushi quickly followed, and after thinking for a moment, said, "Don't misunderstand. Although I look very energetic, it's not because I'm thinking about getting a promotion and a raise."

She didn't know why, but her body felt very warm, as if she had been injected with a kind of power, and she wouldn't get tired even if she worked for three days and three nights.

Gu Yuqiu pushed open the door and casually asked, "Haven't you always wanted a promotion?"

Lin Mushi said somewhat angrily, "So that's how you see me?"

"This is not something to be ashamed of."

Gu Yuqiu glanced at her and said, "A person should have a goal in life... and why do you care what I think of you?"

Lin Mushi was stunned, thinking to herself, "That seems to be true. Why should I care what you think of me?"

"Maybe it's because I care a lot about my reputation?"

She frowned adorably, stepped into the elevator, and speculated, "I've heard that people who aren't good at interpersonal relationships have a hard time getting promoted."

Gu Yuqiu calmly said, "Strength is the prerequisite for everything. Your idea is too foolish."

Lin Mushi was already used to her way of speaking, so she wasn't angry at all. She joked, "But I can tell you for sure that most people can't tolerate your temper like I can, so you definitely won't get promoted."

Gu Yuqiu thought to herself, if she wanted to, who would mind such a trivial matter?

She wasn't very interested in the promotion, and seeing that Lin Mushi wanted to continue the conversation, she simply said, "That's enough."

After saying that, she left the elevator and walked towards the car.

Lin Mushi rolled her eyes at her, opened the car door, and sat in the driver's seat.

The two fell silent, but the atmosphere wasn't awkward, because this was their usual way of interacting.

But tonight was different. Lin Mushi was in such good spirits, and the journey was long, so she couldn't stand the quiet and started to make conversation.

"Hmm, you said you killed those people, so how did they die?"

"head shot."

"Would you still consider doing such a bloody thing?"

"You wanted to teach me a lesson the first time we met, just because I shot a hostage in the head?"

"It seems so... But then again, since you've already killed them, why didn't you capture them alive?"

"From this perspective, I definitely didn't kill the person."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mushi sighed and asked earnestly, "Can you please stop speaking in such a nonsensical way?"

Gu Yuqiu wondered, "Do I really look like that?"

She thought about it carefully and decided that Lin Mushi was too stupid, so she didn't bother to answer.

……

……

When it's late at night and everyone is asleep, the traffic lights also speed up.

In this situation, if the time calculation is done properly, one can also experience the thrill of speed when driving towards the city center.
