What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

Lin Mushi retreated as if facing a formidable enemy.

The sudden silence left the Special Affairs Bureau commander quite puzzled.

A moment later, a hushed question came through the communicator.

Lin Mushi said in a low voice, "An unexpected situation has arisen."

She stopped in her tracks, her gaze shifting between the robber and the suddenly appearing Gu Yuqiu, pondering how to handle the situation and what the circumstances might be.

Just then, the robbers also looked at Gu Yuqiu.

Immediately afterwards, his eyes widened to their limit, filled with bloodshot veins like a spider web.

The hand holding the dagger trembled violently, leaving a shallow cut on the hostage's neck, from which blood began to flow.

Upon seeing this scene, Lin Mushi reacted swiftly without a moment's distraction.

She still hadn't figured out what was going on.

Logically speaking, the most likely explanation is that the other party is conspiring to deceive her, aiming to distract her and cause her to make the wrong decision.

She knew very well that this possibility was not small, yet she still headed towards that place without any hesitation.

next moment.

A soft thud.

Lin Mushi stopped in her tracks, looked ahead, and took a deep breath.

The moment that soft sound rang out, both the robber and the hostage were dead.

A black line emitting a red glow started from their heads and continued to extend downwards, covering their bodies in an instant.

In that instant, a crimson light blazed brightly.

A firework made of flesh and blood entered Lin Mushi's eyes.

Despite being extremely bloody, it somehow possesses a strange beauty that makes it impossible to look away.

A long period of silence.

The night rain taps on the window, gradually becoming irritating.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Mushi finally turned around, her gaze falling on that dimly lit corner, her breathing gradually becoming heavier.

Gu Yuqiu didn't take it seriously and wouldn't care.

Even though the only person in the world she couldn't let go of was Lin Mushi.

Just as the Pope had repeated to her many times, Lin Mushi was forcibly supported by her.

Without her existence, no matter how many times time were to repeat itself, Lin Mushi would be nothing more than a tiny speck of dust in this era, unable to cause even the slightest ripple.

It is impossible for a name called Lin Mushi to exist in the history recorded by later generations.

However, she has changed all of that.

However, this does not mean that Lin Mushi can shoulder the corresponding responsibilities and the dangers that come with them.

She has never liked the saying that with great power comes great responsibility, but she cannot deny that there is some logic to it.

More importantly, she clearly understands that behind this cause and effect lies a vision that constantly strives for higher goals.

—The scenery I saw then was probably beyond what Lin Mu's poems could capture.

Even though she had thought of this problem long ago and made many preparations for it, even asking Su Yan for help, she still couldn't completely trust Lin Mushi.

At this moment, everything she saw was a replay of her past experiences.

She had originally planned to do nothing.

I just watched quietly.

We'll wait for Lin Mushi to make a decision after losing her, and then, based on that, we'll carefully consider the long period of time we've spent together before making a better decision.

The problem is...

She overestimated her patience with Lin Mushi. Even though this was the Lin Mushi from her dream, she still subconsciously uttered that word, that word "idiot."

Thinking about this, she found herself quite amusing and laughed.

Lin Mushi was stunned for a moment, thinking to herself, how could this voice be so beautiful?

Gu Yuqiu emerged from the darkness, wiped away the blood and flesh remains of the robbers and hostages, and casually found a high stool to sit down.

Bathed in the dim light, she smiled gently, her expression tender.

"Let's chat casually."

She paused, then said softly, "By the way, if you make me unhappy, then your colleagues might as well all die."

The atmosphere became extremely oppressive, as if frozen in time.

The communicator had long been destroyed, and the annoying inquiries were no longer heard.

The room was completely silent.

Lin Mushi looked at the spot where the flesh and blood had disappeared, then at the short-haired woman sitting on the high stool, and asked, "That 'idiot' you just called me... was that you?"

"wrong."

Gu Yuqiu smiled and said, "It's you."

Lin Mushi was slightly taken aback, then realized what was going on, thinking to herself, "You're really quite inexplicable."

Gu Yuqiu sighed and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Do you really think that this kind of deliberate self-deprecation will make me happy and stop me from killing people?"

Lin Mushi was speechless, thinking to herself, "I can't possibly tell you that I didn't actually think that much about it, can I?"

Then, she suddenly remembered the word "idiot" she had just heard, and became even more speechless.

She remained silent for a moment, but couldn't help herself and retorted, "If all the Old Gods were as direct as you, this world would definitely be a much better place."

"Because those dregs are not worthy of being compared to me."

Gu Yuqiu said, "With me here, this world will certainly be a better place."

This statement is so arrogant that anyone who says it would sound presumptuous.

However, she spoke very casually, as if it were a matter of course, as if she were stating a fact.

Lin Mushi got angry upon hearing this and forgot what she had just heard.

She raised her hand, pointed to the utterly chaotic bar, and said expressionlessly, "Under the influence of the Old Gods, the risk of superhumans going out of control is increasing day by day. Things like this happen all the time. In order to maintain the most basic order, we are so short-handed that even a newcomer like me has to step up."

She sneered and stared into Gu Yuqiu's eyes, saying, "Do you have some misunderstanding about beauty?"

Gu Yuqiu remained silent.

Seeing her remain silent and aloof, Lin Mushi became even angrier for no reason and said indifferently, "Even if humanity wanted to give up all its supernatural powers and return to the past, those ancient gods would never agree."

Gu Yuqiu thought for a moment and said, "It seems that I am really important."

Lin Mushi was completely stunned and didn't know what to say. She thought to herself, "Are you crazy?"

"But have you ever thought about this: none of these things matter to you right now?"

Gu Yuqiu sat with her legs crossed, looking at her and saying, "There's only one thing you need to think about, and that is how to make me happy and stop killing people... or do you really think those few words just now could make me laugh?"

Lin Mushi thought to herself, "Who knows how to make this lunatic happy?"

"never mind."

Gu Yuqiu seemed to have lost interest, and then said, "I'll ask you a few questions. If you answer them well, tonight's matter will be over. But if you became a god, what would you do then?"

Lin Mushi knew she had no right to negotiate, so she obediently hummed in agreement.

"If you became a god someday, what would you want to do?"

Gu Yuqiu's gaze passed over her figure, landing on the night sky outside the window, and he asked softly.

Hearing this question, Lin Mushi felt completely bewildered, and even her anger subsided considerably.

At first, she thought the question the other party was going to ask was nothing more than the trolley problem, something that could never have a good result. She never imagined it would be such a simple matter.

She remained silent for a long time, then suddenly laughed, shook her head, and said, "Why should I become a god? I wouldn't even dare to dream of it."

Gu Yuqiu said calmly, "Then let's start thinking about it now."

Lin Mushi thought to herself, "I obviously can't beat you, so whatever you say goes." She said irritably, "Then the first thing I want to do is make this world a better place."

She wasn't sure if Gu Yuqiu could read minds and see through her deepest thoughts, so this statement was true.

However, while the words were true, they still carried a hint of self-deprecation.

Gu Yuqiu, seemingly oblivious, continued to ask, "And then?"

"And then..."

Lin Mushi thought about it seriously for a while, then her expression suddenly turned serious, and she said solemnly, "I want there to be no more riddle tellers in this world!"

Gu Yuqiu froze halfway through her sentence.

She wasn't reading minds at all; she was simply guessing what Lin Mushi was thinking.

So she really didn't guess that sentence.

What are you staring at?

Lin Mushi raised an eyebrow, feeling utterly bewildered, and said, "I wasn't talking about you. Is there anyone in this world who doesn't dislike riddle tellers?"

After a moment of silence, Gu Yuqiu smiled and said, "Of course I hate it too."

Lin Mushi looked at her, somewhat disbelieving what she was saying.

But she wasn't an idiot, so how could she confront Gu Yuqiu directly? She simply pretended not to have noticed anything and said, "Then what else do you want to ask?"

For some reason, even though she found the conversation utterly absurd, she found herself taking it seriously without realizing it.

Gu Yuqiu looked into her eyes and asked seriously, "If you liked someone, but that person was wicked and considered an enemy by the whole world, and everyone wanted her dead, what would you do?"

Lin Mushi was somewhat bewildered, not understanding why the topic had jumped so quickly. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "How much do I like that person?"

"How much do you like it?"

Gu Yuqiu turned her head away and looked at a shard of glass on the ground that reflected her image. She sighed and said, "It's probably because that person is fickle, and you know she's fickle, and she's fickle right in front of you, yet you still like her so much."

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Mushi's face had already turned extremely ugly.
