What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

Crimson left behind her last words.

Gu Yuqiu hummed in agreement, her meaning unclear, and finally said, "Since that's how you feel... then let's leave it at that."

As soon as she finished speaking, she lowered her hand from her flushed cheeks and then casually kicked her foot.

The original bridge has long since lost its original appearance under the great power of time, and now looks like a dilapidated building from the apocalypse.

The place where Gu and Qiu were was the end; there was nothing ahead of them, like a cliff.

So Crimson was kicked down by her.

It plummeted towards the still-flowing river below.

The blood, like stardust that had turned into mist, possessed a breathtaking beauty under the intense light of the setting sun.

At the same time, the pure white lightning bolt fell from the sky and landed on her body.

His deep red eyes were calm as he quietly watched Gu Yuqiu, who had kicked him down.

The pure white lightning disappeared, and a white cat slowly floated down from the sky, eventually perching on Gu Yuqiu's shoulder with an air of arrogance.

She couldn't help but want to raise her eyebrows, but found that she couldn't.

Countless subtle sounds rang out in succession, and her body began to shatter, just like the twilight world at that moment.

When her body turned to dust, the will hidden within emerged.

—She was a girl who wasn't very tall.

The girl's eyes were extremely indifferent, but deep within that indifference lay a clear pain; the destruction of the twilight world and the white cat's claw had clearly caused her immense harm.

Soon, she fell onto the still surface of the river.

With a soft snap, the fragments that were barely held together to form the body finally scattered completely, turning into countless points of light and disappearing without a trace.

Gu Yuqiu withdrew her gaze, confirming that things would not change, and looked at the twilight world that was still on its way to destruction.

As the sun sets and night falls, the world, no longer stagnant because of the crimson will, is swept by a gentle breeze from afar, yet it cannot dispel the lingering scent of silence.

She slowly turned around and walked towards the back.

There was a cyan light barrier there, which blocked the previous passage of time and protected Lin Mushi who was inside it.

When the white cat saw her suddenly walk, it quickly flew up and turned back into a dandelion. It dared not linger on her shoulder any longer, because the paths on both sides of her were broken, and below was the great river that was surging again.

The road was rather long, so Gu Yuqiu didn't walk very fast.

The candy floated beside her, thought for a moment, and meowed.

The meaning of that meow is complicated. It basically means that Crimson is seriously injured, but she is still some distance from death. What should you do if she reveals your identity?

Gu Yuqiu casually said, "She won't do that."

The white cat was slightly taken aback, wondering why this was happening.

Gu Yuqiu said, "If it were the old me, she would have done this because she couldn't possibly beat me, but I'm not the same person I used to be."

The white cat meowed, somewhat speechless, indicating that your words were a bit too convoluted.

Gu Yuqiu didn't seem inclined to explain, probably because she felt that if they still couldn't understand what she was saying, then there was no point in communicating with each other.

The white cat looked ahead, its gaze falling on the cyan light shield, as if to say, "What are you going to do?"

Lin Mushi is the only innocent and adorable person. With so many things happening tonight, Su Yan will surely have many guesses and be curious about your true identity.

Gu Yuqiu knew that what it said made sense, but she had no interest in paying attention to it, because she had already walked the path she was on.

She arrived in front of the cyan light barrier, paused for a moment, and then went inside, where she saw Su Yan, whose figure had already become illusory.

This scene is remarkably similar to the one where Crimson recently vanished as countless points of light.

Unbeknownst to them, the white cat had already left Gu Yuqiu's side, as if it had never been there at all.

Before Gu Yuqiu could say anything, a relieved voice reached her ears.

"you……"

Lin Mushi stared blankly at Gu Yuqiu, and after a long while, she still didn't know what to say.

She had been watching Gu Yuqiu walk away and had thought about many things. She had even made a vow that she would kill Shenhong to avenge herself no matter what.

Then Gu Yuqiu appeared in her sight, everything happened so suddenly.

She couldn't find any words to express her current feelings.

If she hadn't retained her rationality and been unwilling to lose face in front of Gu Yuqiu, she would have almost unconsciously uttered that very vulgar word.

"Calm down first."

Gu Yuqiu spoke softly, then turned to look at Su Yan and nodded in greeting.

Hearing her words, Lin Mushi snapped out of her daze and stopped being immersed in those complicated emotions, knowing that they had something to say.

The cyan light shield was only so big; no matter how much she didn't want to hear it, there was nowhere she could hide.

"No need to dodge."

Su Yan glanced at her and said calmly, "It's just a small matter. You can listen to it if you want, but just don't talk about it carelessly."

Lin Mushi looked at Gu Yuqiu and winked at her, indicating that she would still listen to her.

Su Yan noticed this and had nothing to say.

Gu Yuqiu said, "Then let's listen."

Su Yan was silent for a while, then said, "I failed, so I lost."

The "loss" she mentioned naturally referred to the bet she made with Gu Yuqiu regarding whether she could properly handle Shen Hong.

Gu Yuqiu shook her head and said, "Your existence is very important."

Su Yan was satisfied with the answer and then said, "A loss is a loss. I wouldn't stoop so low as to cheat. What kind of compensation do you want?"

Gu Yuqiu said, "I need to think about it some more."

Su Yan laughed and looked at her, saying, "Then see you another day?"

See you another day.

Gu Yuqiu's tone was very flat, without any fluctuation.

However, right after she finished speaking, Su Yan's figure began to dissipate, turning into countless cyan lights that surged outwards like waves and vanished into nothingness.

Gu Yuqiu watched quietly.

Behind her, the cyan color flowing within the light barrier gradually faded, no longer isolating her from external changes.

The setting sun cast its last rays.

The lingering twilight spilled onto the river, rising and falling gently, rich and radiant.

The sky and earth were all red.

Deep red.

The world is still broken, and everything seems to have turned into firewood to ignite this fire.

If Gu Yuqiu's face hadn't become increasingly pale, it would have been easy for people to forget that they were actually in the dead of winter.

Lin Mushi looked at her face with great concern and wanted to say something.

Gu Yuqiu shook her head slightly and said with a soft laugh, "I don't think I've watched a sunset with you yet. Now is the perfect time."

……

……

In the real world, when the night is at its darkest.

A profound silence fell over the bridge as everyone waited quietly, silently counting the numbers in their minds, anticipating the moment when frozen time would begin to flow again, and the two worlds would reunite.

Professor Wei stood at the front, looking ahead with an extremely solemn expression.

At one point, everyone present counted that number.

A strange and subtle feeling suddenly appeared in everyone's perception.

The real world changes as a result.

It started as a red glow appeared at the edge of the night sky, like the reappearance of the sunset, casting an extremely warm light.

Immediately afterwards, the red light dissipated, and the surrounding things changed slightly, but not much.

It was a slight crack, a faint rust on the bridge handrail, a ripple on the dark river surface under the night, or a sudden rise in temperature.

That's all there is to it.

Professor Wei was stunned, wondering what was going on.

Just then, a voice reached everyone's ears.

"So many people?"

Everyone looked toward the source of the sound.

The night breeze was slightly chilly, but the dim yellow lights on the bridge remained unaffected, illuminating the area where everyone's gaze fell.

A man stood lazily in front of the bridge railing, facing the distance, his trench coat stained with blood.

Looking at that person and Lin Mushi beside her, Zhong Chongshan breathed a long sigh of relief, then revealed his most sincere smile, thinking to himself, "Why does this sentence suddenly sound so pleasant?"

He pushed the wheelchair over, smiling gently, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Gu Yuqiu turned around, looked at everyone on the bridge, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Was this necessary?"

Chapter 78: The Seventy-Seventh Chapter - Laughter

Zhong Chongshan paused for a moment, then sighed sincerely, finding that what he said wasn't so far-fetched after all.

The people standing at the back were not used to it, but they didn't say anything and all had sincere smiles on their faces.

In a sense, those people on the bridge at this moment were already prepared to sacrifice themselves.

However, nothing happened at this time. The night wind was still chilly, and the world was still at peace. How could they not be in a good mood? Why would they care about so much?

The only person present who didn't laugh was Professor Wei.
