What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

Lin Mushi said earnestly, "I will take responsibility for protecting you."

She didn't quite understand the question. She thought that you should know that your strength lies in your unpredictability and that you are not good at direct combat. That's why your superiors decided to have me cooperate with you. Why would you ask such a question?

Gu Yuqiu had no idea about the relatively low-level superhumans, nor did she have any experience working in such a department. She thought to herself, "Oh, I see."

Seeing her silence, Lin Mushi assumed she was worried about her safety and emphasized, "You haven't known me for long and don't know what kind of person I am. Actually, I'm very fierce."

Gu Yuqiu thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Since you're so fierce, should I be afraid of you from now on?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mushi was stunned for a while before she came to her senses, thinking to herself, "Are you trying to provoke me?"

She took a deep breath and forced a smile, saying, "If you feel it's too much to ask, I'll try harder in the future so you'll be afraid of me."

Gu Yuqiu had never experienced this before, and finding it somewhat interesting, nodded and said, "I'll try my best."

Lin Mushi was silent for a moment, then decided to prioritize work and abandoned the topic, instead asking, "So you suddenly interrupted me because you found a clue?"

She asked the question casually, with a hint of mockery in her voice.

After all, the followers of the Church of the Sleeping Demon are too good at hiding, and finding those traces will not be a matter of a short time. She had already prepared to stay up all night.

However, upon hearing this, Gu Yuqiu simply hummed in agreement.

Lin Mushi was a little taken aback and subconsciously asked, "You found it already?"

Gu Yuqiu asked, "Otherwise?"

Three months ago, after realizing that she had reached the end of the road and could not fulfill her initial aspirations, she began to plan for what would happen next.

The Church of the Sleeping Demons, as the first link in the plan, played a crucial role, for which she spent several hours preparing.

In retrospect, she was perhaps a little too serious back then.

Lin Mushi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Do you want to double-check?"

"Need not."

Gu Yuqiu finished the last sip of coffee, got up from her chair, and walked out of the office.

Lin Mushi watched her retreating figure and thought to herself, "You're a bit too confident... a bit too arrogant, aren't you?"

……

……

The information presented on the tablet computer that Lin Mushi handed to Gu Yuqiu consisted of several suspected suicide cases.

In addition to photos of the deceased after their death and various related information.

Gu Yuqiu had died once before and had spent five years of her life with death. She was extremely familiar with these things, so how could she possibly hide the methods of the believers of the Youmian Church from her?

While reviewing these documents, she identified the problematic deceased.

Normally, after Gu Yuqiu draws a conclusion, the standard procedure is to first examine the body to confirm that her hypothesis is correct, then report the situation before taking any action.

The problem is that going through procedures is usually extremely troublesome, especially for larger organizations. Even though Xin Chu's situation is quite special now, it still takes a considerable amount of time to maintain stability.

Most importantly, Gu Yuqiu did not lie to Bai Mao; she did come to this city to rest for a while.

Given this, why would someone who is on vacation want to delay their time off work just to go through such trivial procedures?

Moreover, she needed to put pressure on the Church of the Sleeping Souls to invest more resources in this matter, to the extent she envisioned.

"Shouldn't you go check on the body first?"

Sitting in the driver's seat, Lin Mushi subconsciously looked over after hearing Gu Yuqiu say where they were going.

Gu Yuqiu countered, "Why did I come here?"

Lin Mushi paused for a moment, then said, "Because the higher-ups believe you are skilled at dealing with the Church of the Sleeping Souls..."

Gu Yuqiu said, "So you can talk less nonsense."

Lin Mushi thought to herself that this was indeed her area of ​​expertise, and she had no right to speak carelessly, so she obediently hummed in agreement.

Gu Yuqiu suddenly asked, "Aren't you angry?"

Similar conversations had happened several times before, and Lin Mushi's reaction had always been the same. She didn't quite understand why it had changed this time.

"I have no reason to be angry."

Lin Mushi thought this seemed to be just casual conversation. She glanced at her and said, "Although we've only known each other for less than 24 hours, you're really too... special. I'm almost used to it, and besides, this is serious business."

There were some things she didn't say.

From the moment she first met her last night, she felt that this incredibly beautiful girl possessed a very special quality, and she couldn't find a trace of fragility in her.

Regardless of his words or actions, even casually sitting in the passenger seat at this moment, Gu Yuqiu exudes a quiet nobility, like a great figure in a movie, who can subconsciously convince people when he gets serious.

Thinking about all this, Lin Mushi glanced at her with a hint of envy.

Gu Yuqiu was satisfied with the answer, especially the last sentence, and said, "Let's go."

Chapter 6: The People in the Sixth Chapter

Saying you're going doesn't mean you can actually go, because the most common annoyance in modern cities is undoubtedly traffic jams.

The two were heading to the city center, which required passing through a major road where traffic was heavy and congestion was common.

Lin Mushi sighed as she looked at the dense traffic ahead, glanced at Gu Yuqiu who was resting with her eyes closed, and asked, "How about we have a chat?"

Gu Yuqiu thought of her comrade-in-arms at home and hummed in agreement.

Lin Mushi thought to herself, "Judging from your temperament, you must have come from a very good family. You must have received all kinds of elite education since childhood, and you must be well-informed and proficient in all the arts, such as music, chess, calligraphy, and painting."

Since this is just a casual chat, let's start with our hobbies.

"Um……"

Lin Mushi pondered for a few seconds and said, "Do you like listening to piano? There's a piece I've been listening to quite a lot lately, I don't know if you've heard it before."

Gu Yuqiu said, "I don't like it."

Lin Mushi paused, thinking, "Could it be that you've been practicing the piano too much since you were a child, and now you're tired of it and don't like it anymore?"

Feeling a little guilty, she coughed lightly and then said, "The view and sunlight from your French windows are really nice. Do you often sit there... to draw?"

Gu Yuqiu shook her head and said, "I don't know how to paint."

Lin Mushi thought about it seriously for a while, and thought that it didn't seem to be a problem. After all, it's not easy to paint well. It takes a lot of effort. She smiled and said, "Then I feel that you must like taking pictures. Otherwise, it would be a waste of the scenery."

This time, Gu Yuqiu didn't bother to shake her head and said, "I'm not taking pictures."

Lin Mushi fell silent.

Is this what they call awkward small talk?

She remained silent for a while, still unable to figure out what Gu Yuqiu was interested in, and too lazy to think about it anymore, she asked impatiently, "So what are your hobbies?"

Gu Yuqiu kept her eyes closed and calmly said, "It used to exist, but it hasn't been for the past few years."

Lin Mushi was taken aback by his words and subconsciously asked, "Then where do you spend all your time?"

Gu Yuqiu thought to herself, "This question is so stupid. How did you even come up with it?"

The car became unusually quiet, with only the warm air blowing from the air conditioning vents making a slight noise.

"Could it be that you... have spent all your time on advancing your skills?"

"otherwise?"

"Don't you feel tired?"

"I'm used to it."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mushi looked at Gu Yuqiu, her eyes filled with nothing but admiration.

Ordinary people might not know, but as a superhuman, she knew very well how much effort was behind that seemingly ordinary statement.

Why would a young lady from such an extraordinary family put in so much effort, endure mental anguish that is hard for ordinary people to bear, risk losing control at any moment, and insist on climbing the long staircase to the divine, even at the cost of giving up all her past likes and hobbies?

Lin Mushi suddenly remembered the ability officially named 'The True Lie', and the abilities of every self-awakened individual, which were actually her most unforgettable experiences.

Thinking of this, the admiration in her eyes instantly turned into regret and sympathy.

A stirring story emerged in her mind.

The seemingly cold girl is actually passionate. A genius who has been treated unfairly and deceived by lies will eventually strike back at those fools!

Just then, a voice interrupted Lin Mushi's thoughts.

"The light is green."

Hearing the urgent honking from behind, Gu Yuqiu opened his eyes, looked at her expressionlessly, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Lin Mushi then snapped out of her reverie and quickly focused her attention on driving, saying apologetically, "I suddenly thought of something else."

Gu Yuqiu had no idea what she was thinking. She closed her eyes again to rest and casually hummed in agreement.

Lin Mushi took a deep breath, suppressed her emotions, and stopped immersing herself in the story she was thinking about, focusing on driving.

……

……

Forty minutes later, the two finally arrived at their destination.

The sky was still overcast, but the streets were not dark, as the lights of the buildings on both sides were extremely bright, illuminating everything.

Streets in places like this are never deserted; even when the sun is out, pedestrians still throng the streets.

The two walked side by side on the street. Gu Yuqiu was still wearing that black trench coat, and her silver hair was casually tied behind her back.

Unlike last night, she had pulled up her collar and was wearing a hat and mask, making her less conspicuous.

Lin Mushi frowned slightly as she looked at the bustling street and said in a low voice, "If something goes wrong in a place like this, it could be a serious matter. Are you sure?"

Gu Yuqiu said, "I can't be wrong."

Lin Mushi thought to herself, "You're being too arrogant." She said seriously, "I'm willing to believe you, but if I don't know anything, how am I supposed to protect you?"

Gu Yuqiu remained silent.

Just as Lin Mushi thought she was determined to remain silent and was about to try to persuade her, that clear, cold voice rang out.

"Those suspicious suicide cases were all related to the Church of the Sleeping Demons, but the only one who was really involved was Zhao Gu; the rest were innocent."
