What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

Chapter 66: The Unbearable Past

Su Yan ignored her, still looking out the window, immersed in the ethereal yet real sea, observing the changes in Xin Chu from above.

Countless points of light, large and small, lie dormant in this vast ocean. Occasionally, one of them bursts forth with an even more dazzling light, which is a manifestation of enlightenment gained through meditation.

As one of the world's leading metropolises, New Chu holds an extraordinary international status and boasts a massive population. Even though the number of extraordinary individuals is relatively small, the actual figures are still astonishing.

When this number is presented in concrete terms, it can easily make people dizzy, which is why the Special Affairs Bureau rarely relies on this vast, undefined ocean to predict crimes in advance.

Those below the fifth rank are not qualified because they are not far enough up, but also because their mental and physical will cannot withstand such complex and numerous information.

If one insists on engaging with this vast and empty ocean, the ultimate result will be the loss of one's independent will and direct assimilation.

Su Yan's intentions didn't stop there, but doing such things was ultimately troublesome, since she was just an avatar.

However, if she were not merely an avatar, how could she have entered the new Chu?

This is an unsolvable contradiction.

For these reasons, Su Yan is currently feeling quite tired and exhausted, but mostly she's also very annoyed.

What bothered her was that she couldn't find anything unusual related to Crimson.

She opened her eyes, wanting to grab a bottle of water to quench her thirst, only to find that someone had already handed her water.

"Thank you."

Su Yan was somewhat surprised because the person who handed her the water was Lin Mushi, someone who clearly disliked her.

"You're welcome."

Lin Mushi smiled and said, "I'm in a pretty good mood tonight."

Su Yan looked at her without saying anything, but her eyes held a strange expression.

Of course it's strange.

Because there were three people sitting in the back of the car, and the Special Affairs Bureau always had ample funds, and tonight's operation was ordered directly by Zhong Chongshan as the director, it was impossible for them to be stingy in this regard.

Even if this black sedan is spacious enough that three people could sit in the back without feeling cramped, this is clearly not right.

Su Yan was silent for a moment, then turned to the driver and asked, "What's going on?"

The driver said, "Miss Lin applied to come, and after careful consideration, the director approved it."

He had probably anticipated this question, for his answer was swift and without hesitation.

Su Yan continued, "Then the person who was sitting with me was Gu Yuqiu?"

The driver grunted in agreement.

Su Yan didn't want to say anything more.

She walked past Lin Mushi and looked at Gu Yuqiu. She frowned slightly and thought to herself, "Don't you think this is idiotic?"

Gu Yuqiu had already closed her eyes, pretending not to know anything.

"What's up?"

Seeing her frown, Lin Mushi smiled gently and said, "If you need anything, I can help you, not just get water."

Su Yan looked away, simply assuming it was just bad luck.

……

……

The salvage operation at Baima Lake is still ongoing, but it is nearing its end. The efforts of dozens of extraordinary individuals from the Path of Myriad Phenomena have resulted in extremely high efficiency.

The commotion was equally immense.

At the same time, several cars of different models drove out of the hotel's underground parking garage, seemingly unrelated, and headed in the same direction.

The Special Affairs Bureau is not too far from White Horse Lake, but it is across districts, requiring passage through a commercial area and a bridge, all of which are usually very bustling areas.

From the perspective of the Crimson faction, the best location for an attack would naturally be the downtown area. Although it was close to midnight, the surrounding environment was complex enough to make escape relatively easy.

As for the bridge... no matter how you look at it, once you choose to fight on the bridge, it's easy to find yourself in a dilemma, which is not the thinking of a normal person.

More importantly, there are extraordinary individuals in the new Chu who are comparable to Crimson, and Zhong Chongshan has already notified them for safety reasons.

Su Yan was well aware of this, because the person qualified to face the Crimson was the only one in Xin Chu who knew her true identity.

——Except Gu Yuqiu.

She thought about the name, looked at the night sky outside the window, but still couldn't find that point of deep red in the vast sea of ​​nothingness, and so she felt lost.

Just as she was about to ask Gu Yuqiu why he thought something bad was going to happen, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Lin Mushi out of the corner of her eye and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Just then, she came up with an idea.

A moment later, Gu Yuqiu was awakened by a tremor and opened her eyes.

She took out her phone and found a friend request on a certain messaging app.

The note says Su Yan.

So her application was approved.

Lin Mushi, sitting between the two, maintained an upright posture, blocking their view. A slight smile played on her lips, indicating that she was in a very good mood.

……

……

"Is something wrong?"

“I didn’t find any trace of the crimson mark. That coin is the only trace she left. If the coin was sent to the Special Affairs Bureau, then she wouldn’t be able to pinpoint your location.”

"Then?"

"Could this be considered as me solving Crimson's problem for you?"

"Sure, but it has to be halved."

What is the reason?

“Crimson has a stubborn temper and is used to seeking revenge no matter how much time has passed.”

"I'll go see her in person another day."

"Then when you see her, I'll add half of what was lost to you."

"Okay, so why do you think Crimson will make a move tonight instead of letting it go?"

Have I ever made that judgment?

“If it weren’t for this reason, I don’t think you would have mentioned Crimson to me and be willing to owe me a promise. It’s very simple logic.”

"Perhaps only Lin Mushi doesn't understand."

……

……

Su Yan raised her eyebrows when she saw the last sentence, and then realized that it was difficult to reply to.

Even though she didn't like Lin Mushi, she wouldn't speak ill of him behind his back.

Of course, the most important reason is that her account has no emojis, so it can't be faked.

Gu Yuqiu sent another message.

"If everything really goes smoothly tonight, what are you going to ask me to do?"

"I haven't thought about it yet."

Su Yan waited for a while, but still didn't receive the next message.

What she said was true. She had just made the request casually, thinking that she couldn't let Gu Yuqiu rely on her too much and act recklessly as if she were his backer.

In a sense, this was her way of controlling Gu Yuqiu in the manner of an elder.

Gu Yuqiu understood what this meant, and felt no awkwardness; in fact, she found it amusing—because that was what she thought too.

Therefore, the reason she didn't answer was not because she felt uncomfortable, but because Lin Mushi finally realized what was going on.

"No, aren't you two a bit strange?"

Lin Mushi glanced at Gu Yuqiu, then looked at Su Yan and asked seriously, "We are on a mission right now, so why are you suddenly playing on your phones?"

Su Yan said calmly, "There's no rule against using cell phones during this operation, at least not for me."

Given her status, no one in Xin Chu can make too many demands on her, let alone something as trivial as using a mobile phone.

Lin Mushi was speechless. She turned to stare at Gu Yuqiu, thinking, "How do you explain this?"

"me?"

Gu Yuqiu pondered for a few seconds, then slightly turned her wrist to face the phone screen towards Lin Mushi, and said with a smile, "I'm picking out clothes for you."

Hearing this, Su Yan wondered what kind of ridiculous reason this was, looked over curiously, and then fell silent.

She suddenly recalled some painful memories from the past.

Lin Mushi reacted even more strongly than her, nearly jumping up and snatching the phone away. She glared at Gu Yuqiu and said angrily, "What is this thing?!"

Gu Yuqiu said matter-of-factly, "A maid outfit? I bought it for you to wear, is there a problem?"

Chapter 67: Have you fallen in love with stupidity?

The voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for everyone to hear clearly.

Su Yan remained silent.

Gu Yuqiu remained calm, her eyes full of smiles.

Lin Mushi's lips twitched slightly, her expression extremely embarrassed, her chest heaving, but she forced herself to remain calm, her breathing becoming rapid.

She forced a smile, trying to appear composed, but didn't know what to say.

Gu Yuqiu looked at her chest and suddenly asked, "You seem to be looking forward to it?"

"you……"
