What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

This was naturally an environment created by some extraordinary individual using their abilities, serving as the temporary venue for tonight's illegal gathering.

A voice reached their ears.

"This environment is very troublesome. The terrain is too open, the water flow is complicated, and there is a busy square just six kilometers away. If we alert them and they escape, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Gu Yuqiu remained silent.

Lin Mushi turned around and saw a man and a woman walking slowly towards her; unsurprisingly, they were her colleagues.

"My code name is..."

The man was silent for a moment, then said in a subtle tone, "One sip."

The remaining woman laughed and said, "I am the seventh pair."

These two words are tonight's action plan, specifically the code names assigned to each person. They are catchy and easy to remember.

"Your mission is the same as ours?"

Lin Mushi frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "Or has the plan changed at the last minute?"

"The situation has changed."

Looking across the dark expanse of the opposite bank, he whispered, "Ten minutes ago, a superhuman who came to the gathering was rear-ended while driving, which ultimately exposed his identity. The Special Affairs Bureau detained the two people and obtained the token."

He looked away and said, "The higher-ups have decided that you and she should attend this gathering directly to clarify the situation, so I'm here to deliver a message."

Lin Mushi remained silent.

Gu Yuqiu seemed not to have heard anything.

"Is there a problem?"

Looking at Lin Mushi, Yibei said seriously, "Or, if you think the task is too difficult, Qi Duizi and I can apply to our superiors to take it on."

Yes, Lin Mushi's code name is Green One.

Chapter 46: My Surname

Lin Mushi could tell that this was the truth, and after a moment of silence, he still did not agree.

Just as she was always thinking about how to protect Gu Yuqiu, she was not used to having her responsibilities borne by others, and even felt guilty because of it.

More importantly, this mission is far too dangerous; it's not far from certain death, if not quite.

She had no reason to push someone to their death.

"Give me the token."

Lin Mushi smiled, held out her hand towards the rim of a glass, and said, "This is a task for her and me."

With a heavy heart, Yibei Kou hesitated for a moment before finally handing the keepsake to her.

The so-called token is actually just a letter.

The envelope was white, sealed with bright red wax, and contained nothing but a letter; it was so light it seemed as if there was nothing at all.

"Thank you."

Lin Mushi suppressed her smile, carefully put the letter away, and nodded to her two colleagues.

Qi Duizi looked at Lin Mushi and said gently, "Thank you for your trouble."

After saying this, she and Yibeikou turned around and left without looking back, heading to the place where they were supposed to be stationed.

The cold wind howled.

Ripples appeared on the lake's surface.

Lin Mushi withdrew her gaze and looked at the gently rippling White Horse Lake, then suddenly asked, "You haven't said anything just now, what were you looking at?"

Gu Yuqiu casually said, "I'm talking to Songtang."

Lin Mushi was taken aback, thinking, "Isn't Songtang the name of the white cat at home? What strange things are you saying? Do you also think we're in grave danger tonight, which is why you're doing something so inexplicable?"

However, what was strange was that she also had a vague feeling that what he said was true, and that Gu Yuqiu was not lying to her.

She stopped thinking about it and walked to Gu Yuqiu's side, deliberately lowering her voice to ask, "If I speak in your ear... will Songtang still be able to hear me?"

Gu Yuqiu said, "Okay."

"That's good!"

Lin Mushi coughed, cleared her throat, and then...

She meowed very seriously and deeply.

Just then, the wind stopped, and the meow carried quite far and clearly.

After hearing the meow, Gu Yuqiu remained quiet for a long time.

Then she looked into Lin Mushi's eyes and smiled, saying, "You've finally done something that surprised me."

Lin Mushi felt a little embarrassed and forced herself to remain calm, saying, "Alright, everything I wanted to say is in this one meow. Now we should go."

To be honest, her meow, though seemingly simple, contained a great deal of emotion.

Those emotions were fear, worry, confusion, wanting to go home and pet the cat, and hoping to be able to eat the late-night snack we had planned to have that night.

Gu Yuqiu looked at Lin Mushi and suddenly said, "You're quite cute. It turns out you're not so useless after all."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned and walked out of the woods, starting to walk along the gravel path by the lake towards the night on the opposite shore.

Lin Mushi snapped out of her daze and quickly got up to chase after him.

……

……

The night looked very deep from afar, and it was indeed very deep up close, but some light still managed to penetrate, making it possible to see.

Contrary to Lin Mushi's expectations, the road leading to that place was unguarded and so quiet that it seemed as if they had unknowingly taken the wrong path.

Gu Yuqiu suddenly stopped, her gaze passing through the branches by the roadside and landing on the square that was not far away.

This time, Lin Mushi walked very carefully and didn't bump into anything—although even if she had, she wouldn't have felt any pain because of her broad-mindedness.

She lowered her head slightly and saw Gu Yuqiu take out the letter, open it, fold it into an airplane shape, and throw it into the deep night.

Even if it's not raining, a paper airplane will eventually fall.

As the paper airplane began to fall, a glimmer of light appeared in the darkness, illuminating the surroundings.

Suddenly, the world changed.

As night quietly faded, ample light spilled onto the ground, and the scene before us was no longer a cold winter night by the lake, but a magnificent hall.

The hall was now bustling with people. Dozens of men and women, their faces concealed in various ways, were chatting casually, some standing and some sitting.

Lin Mushi stood in front of the hall, looking at the things in front of her, wondering what was going on.

Gu Yuqiu calmly said, "A dream."

Lin Mushi was taken aback upon hearing this, and subconsciously asked, "Didn't you say that tonight's events had nothing to do with the Church of the Sleeping Souls? Could it be that you..."

Her words came to an abrupt halt, because the next sentence contained Zhong Chongshan's thoughts and her incomprehension of him.

"Your cuteness remains unchanged."

Gu Yuqiu looked at her as if she were an idiot and said, "This is a dream constructed with sacred objects."

As soon as the words were spoken, a laugh reached their ears.

Before Lin Mushi could even get angry at being scolded again, a man in a white suit appeared in front of her at some point and said with a smile, "Yes."

“I am the master of this dream, and also the one who convened this gathering tonight. You can call me Mr. Tea, or you can call me Tea Shao.”

Gu Yuqiu thought the name sounded quite appetizing and asked, "Is everyone almost here?"

Cha Shao had no idea what she was thinking. His smile remained gentle as he calmly said, "I only care about the time, not how many people come."

Lin Mushi thought to herself, "Aren't you just pretending?"

If no one comes tonight, are you going to stay by the lake and eat the wind?

She had spent too much time with Gu Yuqiu these past few days and had mentally complained about his pretentious behavior countless times. Now that she had met another one, it was inevitable that she would have some thoughts.

"There's still some time."

Cha Shao said gently, "If you two don't mind, how about I show you around?"

This is naturally what the master of the house means.

However, it is more likely that Cha Shao, as the master of the dream, became naturally enthusiastic after seeing Gu Yuqiu and Lin Mushi's appearances.

Even if someone has no interest in love, a pretty face is always more pleasing to the eye and makes people more willing to talk than an ugly face.

Cha Shao is no exception.

He was willing to take a huge risk to host this party tonight, naturally for the sake of that person's belongings, but making friends was also his true intention.

Of course, if Gu Yuqiu hadn't been so beautiful, with exquisite and flawless features, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to greet two minor figures who were only at the second level.

Lin Mushi remembered her mission and naturally wouldn't refuse.

Gu Yuqiu hummed in agreement.

"Oh, right."

Cha Shao led the two men a few steps, then suddenly asked, "May I ask how you two are addressed?"

Lin Mushi said, "You can call me... Pine Candy."

Cha Shao raised an eyebrow slightly, wondering what a strange name it was, and looked at Gu Yuqiu.

Gu Yuqiu casually said, "My surname is Huai."

Chapter 47: Miss Huai, what do you think?

After saying the word "cherish," Gu Yuqiu fell silent.

Cha Shao naturally didn't press the matter further.

The extraordinary individuals who came to this gathering tonight have diverse backgrounds, but they all share the common trait of not wanting to be in the light of day, so hiding their real names is only natural.
