What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

She glanced at Gu Yuqiu before answering the phone.

Zhong Chongshan's voice came quickly.

"Is Gu Yuqiu with you?"

"Yes."

"Put down what you're doing and get to the station within twenty minutes. There's a meeting going on."

"Meeting..."

Lin Mushi's voice stopped abruptly because the receiver was busy.

She paused for a moment, then turned to Gu Yuqiu and asked, "Do you know what happened?"

Gu Yuqiu had already suppressed her smile, looked at her as if she were an idiot, and said, "Do you think I know everything?"

Lin Mushi thought for a moment and said, "Of course I don't think so, but that's the impression you give me... It's mainly because you have a very serious problem."

In other words, the preceding part is actually not important.

The speaker's true intentions are often hidden, hoping the other person will take the initiative to respond.

Gu Yuqiu was well aware of this, so she ignored her, took out her phone and hailed a taxi, as if she hadn't heard anything.

Lin Mushi realized that she didn't intend to respond, so she couldn't help but sigh and asked helplessly, "Can't you just play along for a little bit and pretend to be curious?"

"can."

Gu Yuqiu suddenly changed the subject, chuckling as she said, "As long as you beg me."

"I'm begging you?"

Lin Mushi was a little annoyed and said, "You are really good at everything, but you just like to pretend too much. You always try to make yourself look nonchalant and say some inexplicable things, which is annoying and irritating!"

Without thinking, Gu Yuqiu asked, "Then why don't you hate me?"

Lin Mushi was slightly taken aback, then looked at her profile and thought blankly, "Yes... why don't I hate you?"

……

……

No one likes meetings, but an organization can't function without them, so the Special Affairs Bureau always has a lot of meetings, but they never seem to reach the two of them.

As a special advisor, Gu Yuqiu seems to slack off all day, receiving a salary but doing nothing. In fact, she does her job extremely well.

In recent days, the Church of the Sleeping Demons has completely fallen silent. Apart from the four people who suddenly died last night, there is no trace of them in the entire New Chu. This achievement naturally caught the attention of the higher-ups of the Special Affairs Bureau.

That's probably why they were notified of today's meeting.

After getting out of the car in front of the Special Affairs Bureau, Lin Mushi looked at the long-unseen building and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"I think I have..."

She frowned, counted carefully, and said, "I haven't been to work here for sixteen days."

Gu Yuqiu said, "This should be a very happy thing."

Everyone would love a life where they get paid without working, no one can interfere, and they might even get a bonus later on.

Lin Mushi thought about it and felt that what she said made a lot of sense, so she had no more feelings and walked towards the conference room.

As an agency born of the times, the Special Affairs Bureau bears extremely important responsibilities and naturally has no shortage of funding. The overall design of the building is solemn and grand, inspiring awe.

However, the meeting room where the meeting was held today was not exactly spacious.

When the two arrived, almost all the attendees had already arrived, with only less than five seats remaining empty.

Under the scrutinizing gazes of many people, Lin Mushi found her seat in the first three rows and was momentarily stunned, thinking to herself that this was a bit too far forward.

Gu Yuqiu never cared about such trivial matters. She sat down naturally and took off her mask as she did so.

Those gazes that had never left her naturally followed her movement and looked at her face.

Naturally, a deliberately suppressed gasp broke the silence, like a flock of birds flying by.

"How...how can someone be so good-looking?"

"I didn't believe the rumors when I first heard them, thinking it was just someone spreading false information, but it turns out it's true."

"What rumor?"

"The Church of the Sleeping Souls wants her to become a saint."

"I feel like I would do the same. If this face were used to become an idol, it would truly be a gift from God."

"I heard from others that she's a rich second-generation, the kind who doesn't care about money at all, how could she possibly become an idol?"

As the discussions continued and Lin Mushi became increasingly uncomfortable, the side door of the conference room finally opened.

Several special affairs bureau officials walked out, and Zhong Chongshan, who was in the lead, waved his hand to signal for quiet, and then stepped into the public eye.

"The reason for calling everyone here is very simple."

Zhong Chongshan said, "According to intelligence, an illegal gathering of superhumans will take place tonight, driven by an unidentified force."

He pressed the controller in his hand, and relevant information appeared on the screen behind him. He continued, "The vast majority of people attending this gathering are smuggled in. They are extraordinary individuals who want to obtain that relic. Previously, they always acted like rats, hiding in the corner and waiting for an opportunity. However, this time they have become interested in participating."

At this point, the matter is quite clear.

"The intelligence department is still trying to determine the reasons behind this, why these people were lured out, and what we need to do is eliminate these unstable factors."

Zhong Chongshan was silent for a while before saying, "This is a rare opportunity, which is why I temporarily transferred you out to try and wipe these people out in one fell swoop."

After saying this, he looked at everyone in the conference room and told them that the operation would take place tonight, and that they should raise any questions immediately.

As time went by, and with people asking questions, the details of the plan gradually became clear.

Just when many people thought the meeting was about to end, Zhong Chongshan's voice rang out.

He looked at Gu Yuqiu and asked seriously, "What are your thoughts?"

Chapter 40: Common Sense When Apologizing

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone instinctively looked in that direction.

That seat was very close to the front, in the first three rows.

Among a group of faces weathered by time, the two young girls stood out.

All the members of the Special Affairs Bureau qualified to participate in today's meeting were elites, yet Zhong Chongshan didn't ask any of them, but instead asked the least senior person, and he did so with unusual seriousness.

This inevitably raises questions.

The atmosphere in the meeting room became unusually quiet.

Dozens of eyes fell on Gu Yuqiu, awaiting her reply.

Lin Mushi, who was sitting next to him, had never experienced such a scene before, and she became very reserved, fidgeting and barely daring to breathe.

She suddenly remembered Gu Yuqiu's usual behavior and became a little worried. But with everyone watching, where would she have the chance to use any underhanded tactics to remind him?

"No."

Gu Yuqiu remained calm and said to Zhong Chongshan, "I think what you said was quite good."

Hearing this, Lin Mushi looked at her with some surprise, thinking to herself, "This isn't like you."

Zhong Chongshan was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's good."

Then he looked at everyone in the room and gave his final instructions.

"The operation will take place at 9 PM tonight at a hotel next to Baima Lake. You will receive the specific tasks you are to carry out after this meeting. Do you have any further questions?"

Everything that needed to be said had been said, and everything that needed to be asked had been asked. Naturally, no one raised their hand to speak at this point, and everyone responded in unison with a "Yes."

Then the meeting adjourned.

Lin Mushi wasn't used to this kind of occasion, mainly because she was subjected to too many stares and felt very uncomfortable being scrutinized.

So she winked at Gu Yuqiu, signaling us to hurry up and leave.

Gu Yuqiu saw it clearly, so she pretended not to see it.

"You did this on purpose, didn't you?"

Lin Mushi's voice reached her ears, and it sounded like she was gritting her teeth.

Gu Yuqiu hummed in agreement.

Lin Mushi thought to herself that there was something wrong with this person, and was about to get up and leave when she suddenly saw Zhong Chongshan lingering on the stage. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to stay.

Gu Yuqiu asked, "Why aren't you leaving?"

She spoke casually and nonchalantly, but the mockery in her words was all the more pronounced.

Lin Mushi said expressionlessly, "I'm very angry right now, so don't talk to me."

Gu Yuqiu found it interesting, tilted his head slightly, breathed softly into her ear, and whispered, "Actually... I like you."

"what?"

Lin Mushi was stunned and subconsciously looked at Gu Yuqiu, only to find that her eyes were full of smiles, and she had no idea whether she was telling the truth or lying.

"You're hopeless!"

"is it?"

Gu Yuqiu's eyes flickered slightly, and she put on a wronged look, sighing, "I just can't accept that you're ignoring me."

Lin Mushi couldn't help but roll her eyes at her, thinking to herself, "Although I can't tell which of your words are true and which are false, this one is definitely the most false one!"

Just then, Zhong Chongshan's voice rang out.

"You two seem to have a really good relationship."

Sometime later, the meeting room had become empty, with only the still bright lights and the three people remaining.

"What?!"

Lin Mushi was still angry with Gu Yuqiu and couldn't stand hearing such words. She said angrily, "What's so good about my relationship with her?"

After saying that, she realized what she had said, paused for a moment, and quickly stood up to bow and apologize to Zhong Chongshan.

"fine."
