What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

Gu Yuqiu thought about the spear that had fallen earlier, and about the crimson hand that was about to touch Su Yan. After a moment of silence, she still felt a little awkward.

Then she said, "It's just that I don't seem to be used to standing behind other people."

As she spoke, she stood in front of Su Yan.

Su Yan watched her retreating figure and suddenly felt a sense of familiarity. She asked, "So?"

"Thanks for your hard work."

Gu Yuqiu smiled and said, "Leave the rest to me."

"you?"

Crimson raised an eyebrow slightly, as if she had heard a really bad joke.

If this isn't a joke, then she feels it doesn't even qualify as human speech.

From any perspective, this statement is far too unrealistic, to the point that she was so stingy with her words that she was only willing to utter the word "you".

However, everyone present, including the driver who was lucky enough to survive, could tell that there were two more words following "you," which together made it very simple.

—You dare to say that?

Even Lin Mushi, who trusted Gu Yuqiu the most, thought the same thing.

Not to mention Su Yan.

She watched Gu Yuqiu's retreating figure, her mouth slightly open, but ultimately said nothing.

"Yes."

Gu Yuqiu ignored these reactions and said, "You think you should accept my proposal."

Crimson glanced at the night sky, seemingly calculating the time, and chuckled, saying, "There are two minutes and twenty-three seconds left. I can give you an explanation in one sentence."

Hearing this, Lin Mushi immediately perked up. Looking at Gu Yuqiu's profile, she thought to herself, "Why don't you pretend to be deep in thought and kill some time?"

Without a second thought, Gu Yuqiu replied, "Because you've never beaten her."

The deep red smile is gradually fading.

"And I have a very deep relationship with her."

Gu Yuqiu said calmly, "She's gone now, and you can never beat her in this lifetime. So if you do beat me, it will be a kind of compensation."

Shen Hong remained silent, shifting her gaze from Gu Yuqiu to Su Yan.

Then she heard a soft "hmm".

"I can attest that this statement is true."

Su Yan's voice sounded quite tired, as if she had witnessed the last thing she wanted to happen.

"Then let's leave it at that."

Crimson looked at Su Yan and said, "You can only leave here after you've watched her die by my hand."

Su Yan remained silent.

Lin Mushi stood behind them, biting her lower lip tightly, wanting to do something, but found that she was powerless to do anything except watch.

Holding the communicator, she wondered if support really had to wait until someone died before it could arrive.

……

……

in the real world.

Late at night, both ends of the bridge were completely blocked off, and dozens of vehicles were parked in the middle of the bridge. Staff members dressed in special affairs bureau uniforms were using relevant instruments to conduct tests to determine the situation.

Zhong Chongshan lowered his head, rubbed his temples, and said wearily, "Has Professor Wei not arrived yet?"

The female secretary said in a low voice, "It's another minute's drive."

Professor Wei, mentioned in the conversation, is currently the only fifth-tier expert in the new Chu.

While not quite as powerful as Crimson, the Special Affairs Bureau estimates that the difference in strength between the two should not be significant.

Is that so?

Zhong Chongshan opened his eyes, looked up at the busy staff, and asked expressionlessly, "What about the location of the deep red one? How much longer until we can confirm it?"

A staff member jogged over and said, "Three minutes and fourteen seconds, but... we are now observing a very unusual situation."

Zhong Chongshan asked, "What do you mean?"

The staff explained, "If we assume that time has a direction, a line with a beginning but no end, and everything is moving forward at the same speed, then Crimson's way of hiding is very likely that she used her authority to slow down this speed, so that she is in the same world as us, but we cannot see her."

Zhong Chongshan looked at the man, remained silent for a moment, and then asked, "Could you translate this into something I can understand?"

The staff member said, "Crimson is very likely near the bridge, but her time is still in the past and she hasn't come to the present."

Zhong Chongshan asked seriously, "If Crimson caused an explosion in the past, then when she stops stopping the passage of time, will that explosion occur in our present?"

The staff were stunned.

As he pondered and tried to find an answer, he suddenly heard a sentence.

"You're right, such a change can indeed happen."

"So, do you have a solution?"

Zhong Chongshan turned his wheelchair and looked back at the man in the white coat.

Compared to the busy Special Affairs Bureau agents around him, this man looked too lazy, as if he had just woken up, with slightly curly hair and sleepy eyes.

The visitor was Professor Wei.

"No."

Professor Wei casually took a cup of coffee and said, "But I don't think we need to worry about this situation, because Crimson is not an idiot. She has certain bottom lines in her actions. There is another reason, which I cannot tell you."

Zhong Chongshan asked in a cold voice, "You want me to expect the enemy's bottom line?"

"The main reason is the latter."

Professor Wei smiled, shook his head slightly, and said, "Don't try to get this secret out of me with words."

Zhong Chongshan, his thoughts exposed, remained calm and asked, "So what can we do now?"

"wait."

Professor Wei's smile faded as he looked at him and said, "Then prepare to capture Crimson, or simply kill her."

Zhong Chongshan suddenly asked, "What about the person who was targeted by Crimson?"

Professor Wei said, "You'll have to fend for yourselves... I suggest you start preparing for the funeral now. Besides, there probably won't be a body left, and it will be difficult to get the ashes."

Zhong Chongshan stared into his eyes and asked, "Is there absolutely no possibility?"

"Yes."

Professor Wei sighed, looked up at the deep night sky, and said with emotion, "Because that's a crimson that's higher than where I stand."

……

……

Because of the existence of that vast, empty sea, extraordinary individuals of equal standing can always know the difference in their abilities.

This height doesn't determine victory or defeat; after all, there are always all sorts of unexpected events in battle, but all unexpected events are based on one premise.

There is no absolute difference in strength between the two sides in the battle.

Gu Yuqiu was well aware of this.

The same applies to crimson.

In her view, once the embodiment of innocence was no longer able to fight, the situation was already completely settled.

That's why she was willing to listen to Gu Yuqiu and agreed.

"I will suppress my strength to the same level as yours."

Crimson said with a hint of mockery, "I hope you can last thirty seconds against me, and don't die so quickly that I don't even notice you're dead."

Gu Yuqiu smiled slightly and asked, "Are you recounting your experiences under her back then?"

Superhumans have excellent memories.

To be precise, when a superhuman stands high enough on the Ascension Steps, she can trace all the information that appears in her own senses.

Even those that remain in the mother's womb are no exception.

Not to mention a humiliation that is etched into one's bones?

Crimson's expression grew cold, the mockery in her eyes gradually disappearing, and she said, word by word, "You do resemble her somewhat."

Su Yan thought to herself, "It's more than just similar."

If that person hadn't been confirmed to be completely dead, she would have suspected Gu Yuqiu long ago.

Lin Mushi looked completely bewildered, wondering who this "she" they were talking about was.

Gu Yuqiu didn't think about anything, her expression was indifferent, as if she had heard a very ordinary sentence.

"start?"

"Crimson asked."

Gu Yuqiu didn't speak, but nodded slightly and took a step forward.

Even at this moment, she remained calm and composed, exuding an indescribable air of nonchalance, as if victory was assured.

To the crimson eyes, this was nothing short of a provocation.

She said nothing more, raised her hand and reached into the burning flames, slowly pulling out a long sword.

Seeing this scene, Lin Mushi couldn't help but gasp, thinking to herself, "How shameless of you!"

Bullying the weak is one thing.

They actually want to fight with bare hands using melee weapons?!
