What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

Gu Yuqiu looked at it and said, "Everything is relative."

The white cat rolled its eyes at her and lazily sprawled out on the sofa: "If this doesn't count as lying, then what does? But I'm too lazy to argue with you. Anyway, no one will be able to guess who you are anytime soon, so it won't implicate me."

At this point, it suddenly remembered something and added, "But if you're out all day, wouldn't I, a cat, be very bored sitting here all alone?"

Gu Yuqiu thought for a while and said, "But it's not appropriate for me to take you out. Walking the cat is too strange no matter how you look at it, and it's easy to attract attention."

The white cat had nothing to say, because it felt the same way.

Then it suddenly came to its senses, stared at Gu Yuqiu and said, "The first part is fine, but don't you have any idea what happened in the last part?"

Gu Yuqiu hummed in agreement, indicating her confusion.

"You've always been this good-looking, how can you possibly keep a low profile by not taking me out?"

Thinking of Gu Yuqiu's past appearance, the white cat felt a pang of nostalgia in its eyes and meowed with deep emotion.

Gu Yuqiu said calmly, "But you seem to like my colleague more than me."

"of course."

The white cat meowed casually, lazily looked up at Gu Yuqiu, indicating that she was right and that she really did like him.

Gu Yuqiu asked curiously, "What's the reason?"

This may seem ordinary, but it is not, because her comrade-in-arms has always been a cat, with a proud temperament, and rarely develops a liking for people at first sight.

"Does that even need to be asked?"

The white cat stared with its bright blue eyes, its gaze fixed on her chest, and meowed earnestly, "Of course it's because your colleague's embrace is especially warm!"

As it meowed, it even patted the sofa with its two front paws, its meaning quite clear.

Chapter 4: Better to be a dog

The white cat lay down again, looked up at Gu Yuqiu, and thought to itself, how could someone like you, who appears aloof and indifferent on the surface but is actually a madman, possibly understand the beauty and warmth of the human heart?

It sighed with some regret, meowed with a hint of remorse, and then realized that the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.

Gu Yuqiu was quietly looking at it, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"Let's ignore these trivial matters for now."

The white cat sensed something was wrong and quickly changed the subject, asking, "What exactly did you come here for? It can't just be to rest, can it?"

Gu Yuqiu said, "The main thing is to rest, and the second thing is to get something from the Church of the Sleeping Souls."

Hearing this, the white cat was quite puzzled and asked subconsciously, "Do you really need to transform yourself like this just to rest or get something? Who would dare refuse you?"

Earlier, when Gu Yuqiu asked Lin Mushi who that person was, it finally managed to squeeze out of the girl's arms and took a special look at her, just because that question was a rhetorical one.

However, as the only one who knows Gu Yuqiu's true identity, Songtang doesn't actually know what her comrade is thinking.

It hadn't asked before, but had been curious about it for a long time. Finally, it couldn't resist asking tonight.

Gu Yuqiu was silent for a while, then said softly, "When you've spent a long time exhausting yourself for something, finally reaching the end, only to find that you chose the wrong path from the beginning and it's impossible to achieve, would you still be willing to start all over again for your initial idea?"

The white cat paused, thinking to itself, "With your previous strength, what in this world couldn't you do?"

As a cat, although it has an extremely rich curiosity, what it remembers most clearly is the famous proverb—curiosity killed the cat.

Thinking of this, it meowed cautiously, indicating that it was just a little kitten and didn't know what to say to you.

Gu Yuqiu ignored it and continued, "I don't like to leave myself with regrets. Since I've determined that I've taken the wrong path, I might as well take it again."

She spoke calmly, without revealing any emotion, and with an air of self-assured confidence.

The white cat was furious upon hearing this, thinking that it was not so easy to do it again. It had spent so many years trying to climb to the highest level of the Ascension to Godhood, but the cat made it sound so easy, casually throwing away its hope for eternal life.

However, when it actually looked at Gu Yuqiu, it inexplicably felt that this matter was not a big deal, and couldn't help but feel sad for itself, letting out a deep sigh.

Gu Yuqiu found it somewhat amusing as she looked at it sighing and said, "Aren't you satisfied with your current life?"

The white cat thought for a moment, comparing the present with the past, and honestly meowed, admitting that it was indeed satisfied.

"Since you like me, you have to protect me."

Gu Yuqiu smiled and said, "Otherwise, what would you do if something happened to me? Even if cat meat doesn't taste good, there are still people who like it, right?"

Upon hearing this, the white cat's long fur stood on end, and it let out a very intimidating meow, as if to say, "Who dares?!"

Gu Yu's smile widened, and he said mockingly, "What's there to be afraid of? I think anyone would dare."

The white cat dared not meow anymore and quickly stood up and walked to her side, gently rubbing its cheek against the back of her hand. It was cute and obedient, and she thought to herself that she had no ulterior motives.

"Just walking the cat seems too weird, how about I buy you a leather case?"

Gu Yuqiu stroked its head and asked gently, "From now on, you can crawl inside and follow me like a dog?"

The white cat thought to itself, "Are you crazy? Who would think of stuffing a cat into a dog's leash and taking it for a walk?"

It meowed pitifully a few times, trembling, shaking its head so much that it was almost invisible.

……

……

The following day at noon, the sun failed to break through the dense clouds, and the sky remained gray.

After waking up, Gu Yuqiu quickly washed up and left the house without taking the cat.

In fact, as a special consultant, she not only enjoys excellent benefits, but also does not need to clock in and out, and her working hours are quite flexible.

However, as Lin Mushi said, the situation in Xin Chu has been too complicated recently. Beneath the calm surface lies countless undercurrents, keeping too many people busy to the point of madness.

Given Gu Yuqiu's current status, she naturally cannot remain detached and leisurely. After Lin Mushi briefly explained the situation to her last night, she will be involved in specific work today.

"Just like I told you this morning, you and I are in charge of dealing with the people from the Church of the Sleeping Demon."

Lin Mushi took a small sip of her coffee and said, "The higher-ups believe that your abilities are better suited to confronting them, which is why you were assigned here."

Gu Yuqiu hummed in agreement.

What she said was part of her pre-arranged plan, including this clearly verifiable identity.

The only thing she hadn't chosen beforehand was who would be her colleague.

Perhaps for this reason, she was somewhat surprised at this moment, because Lin Mushi was actually still a student.

This shows that Lin Mushi is very talented and has high hopes for her; otherwise, she wouldn't be her colleague.

Of course, this mainly shows that Lin Mushi is very young, not even twenty years old, which is the age for university.

As Gu Yuqiu pondered these thoughts, her gaze fell upon Lin Mushi, and she began to scrutinize her closely.

It was winter, so the girl's clothes were naturally not light. However, in order to cope with possible emergencies, she was not dressed heavily, and even looked a little thin, so as to facilitate movement.

Her cascading black hair was simply tied into a ponytail, revealing her fair neck. A quick glance upwards revealed the fine hairs on her earlobes, giving one the urge to take a deep breath of it.

The nineteen-year-old girl had lost her childishness; although her features weren't as striking as hers, they were still quite beautiful, and her eyes held a faint chill.

It's hard to imagine that such a person would lose control several times last night, almost to the point of becoming furious.

Just as Gu Yuqiu didn't notice the fact that Lin Mushi had a broad mind beneath her conservative attire before she curiously asked the white cat.

"I remember...you said I wasn't as good-looking as you, right?"

Lin Mushi suddenly laughed and asked, feigning curiosity, "Why are you staring at me like that?"

Hearing the sarcasm in her words, Gu Yuqiu calmly replied, "My cat likes you quite a bit."

"Hmm?" Lin Mushi blinked, her interest piqued naturally. She wondered if there would be an exception this time, since she had never been liked by small animals.

Just as she was about to ask why, Gu Yuqiu, mimicking her earlier words, suddenly said something.

"It's working time now, don't get distracted."

Lin Mushi paused for a moment, looked up at Gu Yuqiu, and thought to herself, "It was clearly you who got distracted first, why are you blaming me first?"

She couldn't help but feel slightly annoyed, and chuckled as she said, "Then listen carefully, I won't say it a second time."

Chapter 5: I'm Super Fierce

"Go ahead."

Gu Yuqiu took a sip of coffee, her expression casual.

Lin Mushi didn't like her behavior and was about to speak when she suddenly remembered something she forgot to mention yesterday. She said, "Before we begin, do you think there's something wrong with your hair color?"

Good-looking people are naturally hard to keep a low profile, and Gu Yuqiu is no exception. Coupled with her silver hair, she is simply too eye-catching.

Someone as beautiful as her, with the status of a special consultant, would easily become famous in this era, which doesn't seem to be conducive to her work.

Gu Yuqiu said, "This is the price."

Lin Mushi paused for a moment, then sighed and said helplessly, "Alright."

Since the resurgence of spiritual energy twenty-three years ago, humanity's technological path has begun to take a turn, conducting various studies on extraordinary powers.

However, to this day, there are still many unresolved issues in the realm of the extraordinary, one of which is the 'cost' that Gu Yuqiu mentioned.

Today's extraordinary individuals are generally divided into two categories: those who awaken spontaneously and those whose potential is acquired through guidance.

The reason that leads to the former's self-awakening often becomes a specific ability, but along with it comes a corresponding price.

How to solve this problem of getting something for free without any cost has been a topic of concern for many people for the past 23 years.

Thinking about all this, Lin Mushi shifted her gaze from Gu Yuqiu's silver hair, picked up the tablet computer placed to the side, and handed it to the other person.

Gu Yuqiu took it and her gaze fell on the information on the screen.

At the same time, Lin Mushi's voice sounded beside her, providing corresponding explanations.

The Church of the Sleeping Spirit, as a supernatural organization that emerged after the resurgence of Reiki, has a relatively short history and has not caused any major scandals. It has always been considered to be relatively low in harm.

However, many people believe that the reason there has been no major news is because the methods of the Church of the Sleeping Souls are too bizarre and often extremely clean.

"Once you've seen the relevant information, you'll know that the Church of the Sleeping Souls is best at making people commit suicide."

"Xin Chu is too prosperous, and there is never a shortage of losers who have reached the end of their road. Many of them choose to commit suicide. It is troublesome to find out what each person who committed suicide went through before their death, but it is not a big deal under normal circumstances."

"Unfortunately, just like I told you last night, human resources are very tight lately, so we can't do that. Therefore, you need to accurately determine which one they did from these suspicious pieces of information, and then go to them..."

Gu Yuqiu looked up, interrupting her, and asked, "Then what are you doing?"
