However, she is only at the second level now and cannot be considered powerful at all. If she uses her power so recklessly, her spirituality will be depleted, and the worst result will be the collapse of her consciousness world.
Thinking about this, Lin Mushi finally understood the true meaning behind the words, and her expression immediately became complicated.
Gu Yuqiu asked, "Aren't you going yet?"
Lin Mushi looked down at the ring, hesitated for a moment, and finally put it on the middle finger of her right hand.
Then she smiled at Gu Yuqiu and obediently went into the bathroom to try a luxury she had never experienced before—doing housework with superhuman strength.
Gu Yuqiu didn't look; her gaze passed through the gap in the curtains and landed outside.
Night had fallen, and dusk was about to dissipate. The road outside the hotel was still deserted, with few cars passing by.
She calmly engaged in perception, without entering meditation, yet an ocean still appeared in her consciousness.
This ocean was the entire world she could perceive.
Around her, nearly forty points of light floated on the sea, each with a different brightness.
Among them, the stronger ones were almost on par with Zhong Chongshan, but most of them were only faintly lit, far less bright than the light spot next to her at this moment.
These points of light are naturally the superhumans who illegally entered the country to seize her belongings.
So who is the force behind tonight's scheme, the force that has transferred away most of the Special Affairs Bureau's resources, and who has other motives?
Gu Yuqiu looked into the distance, found that familiar spot of light, and uttered a silent word.
……
……
In the pitch-black house, the white cat lay in its usual spot, purring loudly.
Suddenly, a familiar voice entered its ears.
The moment the words left her lips, the white cat leaped up, but accidentally jumped too high and crashed into the ceiling, nearly making a hole in it.
With a loud bang, it sounded as if some dust had fallen.
The white cat carefully landed on the ground, and only breathed a sigh of relief when it saw that it hadn't made a big crater. It shook its head to shake off the dust and looked up towards the direction of White Horse Lake.
Yes, those words that reached the white cat's ears came from Gu Yuqiu's mouth.
Normally, if it were woken up from such a deep sleep, it would definitely throw a tantrum. But today it may have made a big mistake, so it wouldn't dare to misbehave.
The white cat meowed very seriously, as if to say, "You want me to go out alone?"
"You don't want to?"
"Meow! I didn't mean that, don't misunderstand, I'll go right now."
You seem a little agitated.
Gu Yuqiu's voice sounded somewhat unreal, perhaps because of the distance, or perhaps because of the lack of conscious communication.
The white cat quickly shook its head, indicating that it had just been a long time since it had used its claws and was only slightly excited about this rare opportunity. Please don't overthink it!
It dared not continue, and quickly changed the subject, meowing softly twice, asking itself where to go.
……
……
"All done washing!"
Gu Yuqiu opened her eyes and saw the girl standing next to her.
Lin Mushi sat on the bed, looked into her eyes, and suddenly asked, "Have you considered... what if our mission fails?"
Their task tonight is extremely difficult: to infiltrate this illegal gathering, identify the attendees, and try to find out the reason for the gathering.
From any perspective, this is the most dangerous mission of tonight's operation.
The moment she saw her and Gu Yuqiu's missions, she even thought there was a system error and wanted to double-check them.
Unfortunately, it's true.
At that time, Gu Yuqiu mentioned a name: Zhong Chongshan.
The meaning is clear: only Zhong Chongshan in the entire New Chu Special Affairs Bureau could make such an illogical decision.
As for why Zhong Chongshan did this, she didn't need to guess to know it was because of her.
This is why, after arriving at the hotel room and looking out the window for a while, she turned around, left, and came here, throwing the ring to Lin Mushi.
Lin Mushi's emotions have stabilized considerably, and she finally brought up the question mentioned above.
Gu Yuqiu said, "Just do your best."
Lin Mushi paused slightly, then asked, "And then?"
"It's very simple."
Gu Yuqiu stood up and walked towards the bathroom, saying softly, "Stand behind me."
Chapter 45: Operation Code Name
Listening to the sound of water coming from the bathroom, Lin Mushi lay on the chair, thinking for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.
She comes from a single-parent family and has lived alone since she was very young. She has seen the coldness and warmth of human relationships and has developed her own set of principles for dealing with people.
Since she demonstrated her talent and successfully entered the Special Affairs Bureau, she has attracted many people to her, including some who are naturally annoying. However, she still handles them very well and rarely makes any rude mistakes.
Perhaps for this reason, she gradually felt that she had a good eye for people and could be accepted by the vast majority of people, and her life gradually became brighter.
Until that night she met Gu Yuqiu.
Since then, her life has undergone tremendous changes, far more unimaginable than before. During these days, she has always kept an eye on Gu Yuqiu, paying attention to his every move.
However, even after watching for so long, Lin Mushi still couldn't understand Gu Yuqiu's thoughts and didn't know why she was being so good to her.
She sighed wearily, turned her gaze away from the bathroom, and wondered idly, "Do you think you've fallen for me?"
If she really likes him... then what should she do?
She just couldn't bring herself to ask such a question. What if she was just overthinking things and Gu Yuqiu only saw her as a friend? How would she handle that?
Since she can't ask directly, perhaps she could gradually distance herself and subtly express her attitude?
The problem is that she really enjoys being with Gu Yuqiu, and the thought of them growing apart makes her feel inexplicably sad.
What should I do?
Just then, the sounds from the bathroom finally stopped, and soon after, the door was opened.
Gu Yuqiu emerged from the bathroom wrapped in a bathrobe, her slightly damp silver hair casually draped over her shoulders, her delicate features exquisitely beautiful, exuding a carefree charm.
She walked over to the chair, kicked Lin Mushi's thigh, and said, "Don't just sit there like an idiot."
Lin Mushi looked her up and down, somewhat puzzled, and reminded her, "Time's almost up, how much longer do you plan to sit?"
According to intelligence, the meeting was scheduled to start at nine o'clock, and there was no reason for them to arrive on time.
Even so, she still obediently stood up, gave the chair to Gu Yuqiu, and stood aside somewhat awkwardly, wondering what to do.
"You should lie down for a while after taking a shower."
Gu Yuqiu found a comfortable position, closed her eyes, and said, "Besides, there's still no news from over there, is there?"
Lin Mushi was speechless. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "How about I give you a massage?"
Gu Yuqiu asked, "You can do this too?"
Of course not!
Lin Mushi wasn't embarrassed at all and said confidently, "I can't just stand here like an idiot for long, can I? Or I should go lie in bed. I need to find something to do."
Gu Yuqiu hummed in agreement.
Lin Mushi went around to the back of the chair, tied up her messy silver hair with a hair tie, and casually placed her hands on her shoulders, saying, "If nothing happens tonight, I'd like to treat you to a late-night snack. Also... I have something I want to tell you."
Gu Yuqiu said, "Except for hot pot."
Lin Mushi had long since stopped dwelling on why she refused hot pot, and was more concerned with another question, saying, "Don't you want to know what I'm going to tell you?"
Gu Yuqiu said lazily, "You've never surprised me."
Lin Mushi was both angry and pleased, staring at her as she said, "Are you so sure you know me so well?"
Gu Yuqiu asked, "If you don't believe me, you can listen to it."
As she spoke, she opened her eyes and looked at Lin Mushi, a subtle smile playing on her lips.
"never mind!"
Seeing her smile, Lin Mushi naturally recalled those unpleasant things and quickly shook her head, saying, "If you really guessed right, wouldn't you be saying it now?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a sense of unease, thinking that given Gu Yuqiu's terrible personality, she might have said something she hadn't intended to say, just because of her words.
Just then, the phone on the table next to me vibrated.
Lin Mushi breathed a sigh of relief, then withdrew her hands with a hint of lingering fear. She forced herself not to pat her chest lightly, and picked up her phone with feigned calmness, thinking to herself, "This message came just in time!"
Sure enough, the information contained more details about the illegal gathering that night.
"Let's change your clothes."
Lin Mushi composed herself and said seriously, "We should go."
……
……
At 8:30 p.m., the shore of Baima Lake was quiet.
There weren't many guests staying at the hotel, so the lights coming from the rooms were dim, and the lake could only reflect the faint starlight, making it appear even darker.
People gradually emerged from their rooms at the hotel, taking advantage of the darkness and braving the howling wind to walk along the pebbly path by the lake, eventually arriving at a spacious area.
For some reason, the lakeside lights were much dimmer tonight, and this place, which is usually where tourists can sit, was as black as ink.
Even more surprisingly, the biting winter winds seemed to be taking a detour, deliberately avoiding this pitch-black place and leaving behind warmth.
Gu Yuqiu stood in the woods by the lake, quietly watching the scene on the opposite bank, taking it all in.
Lin Mushi tightened her collar and said in a low voice, "It's not just the wind that's avoiding them, but also people, right?"
