What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

The female secretary had been waiting for a long time. She helped Zhong Chongshan into his wheelchair, then nodded to Gu Yuqiu and Lin Mushi, signaling them to follow.

Suddenly, a dozen or so agents from the Special Affairs Bureau gathered around them, all of them elite.

One of them carried an iron box, approached Zhong Chongshan, and solemnly opened it.

The box was empty.

Zhong Chongshan glanced at Gu Yuqiu, took out the coin with the deep red mark, put it into the iron box, and personally closed and locked it.

This iron box may look ordinary, but it is extremely expensive to make, almost as expensive as a sacred object.

In fact, this was originally made from scrap materials after a certain sacred object failed to be forged.

The only purpose of the tin box is to seal one of the items inside, placing it in a state of near-complete prohibition.

"Let's go."

Zhong Chongshan placed the locked iron box on his lap, gestured for his female secretary to push the cart, and said to the two people behind him, "You two need to come with me too."

Gu Yuqiu looked at Lin Mushi.

"Don't look at me."

Lin Mushi said softly, "I've never dealt with this kind of thing before, but I don't know what the situation is like now. And you should know that going through procedures is the most troublesome thing, especially in larger departments. This is probably the simplest situation we've ever seen, since the director is handling it personally."

Gu Yuqiu thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case, so she didn't say anything more.

Lin Mushi hesitated for a moment before continuing, "I might have to sign my name many times later, it's related to confidentiality, so please don't find it troublesome."

Gu Yuqiu casually hummed in agreement.

The two followed Zhong Chongshan into the elevator with the wheelchair, arrived at a basement floor, and after several checks, arrived at a room.

There were several iron boxes in the room, identical to those on Zhong Chongshan's lap. It was unknown what was sealed inside, but there was nothing else.

The female secretary had left sometime earlier.

Zhong Chongshan pushed his wheelchair slowly, just like his tone of voice.

There's something I find strange.

He turned his head to look at Gu Yuqiu and said, "Do you mind if I ask you something?"

Gu Yuqiu casually hummed in response.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Chongshan suddenly laughed.

Lin Mushi was taken aback, wondering why the director was laughing.

"Gu Yuqiu."

Zhong Chongshan said, "You've been distracted from the beginning, haven't you?"

Gu Yuqiu raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "Hmm?"

Zhong Chongshan looked up at her eyes and said slowly, "I'm curious, what is it that has attracted your attention?"

Chapter 80: Chapter 79 To this day, I am still her shadow.

Gu Yuqiu looked at Zhong Chongshan.

The latter met her gaze, his smile was genuine, but his eyes were calm, even carrying a hint of coldness.

"Ah."

Gu Yuqiu said, "I did get distracted. As for the reasons why... there are two. Do you want to hear them?"

Zhong Chongshan smiled and said, "I guess one of these two reasons is true and the other is false... You're bound to say something like this, so I don't care what your reasons are. What I'm more curious about is that you're not interested in this place or these things at all?"

The room where the three were located was on a basement floor of the Special Affairs Bureau. The entry procedure was extremely complicated, involving several verification and inspection processes, much like a scene from a movie.

Normal people wouldn't lose focus at a time like this; their attention should be on it.

For example, Lin Mushi was so focused on not seeing anything she shouldn't have that she didn't notice Gu Yuqiu's casual demeanor along the way.

This is actually a matter of environmental factors.

Zhong Chongshan had been here several times and was familiar with the process, so he no longer took it so seriously, which is why he noticed Gu Yuqiu's casualness.

This is where the question arises.

Why should I be interested?

Gu Yuqiu found it all very strange. She glanced around and said with a hint of sarcasm, "It's just a few sacred artifacts, isn't it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Chongshan was stunned.

Suddenly, he remembered the contents of the report about Mr. Zhuo's death, which mentioned that Gu Yuqiu possessed a sacred object of considerable rank.

Could this be the reason?

The problem is that the sacred objects stored here are far more powerful, and only those seven near-divine beings in the world today have the right to be indifferent to them.

Zhong Chongshan looked at Gu Yuqiu and wondered, "And who are you?"

Lin Mushi glanced at her speechlessly, thinking that even if what she said was true, she should at least be a little more humble. How could she be so arrogant?

Zhong Chongshan still couldn't understand, and after hesitating for a moment, he ultimately remained speechless.

Gu Yuqiu didn't mind at all and casually asked, "Do you still want to hear the reason behind my distraction?"

"I'm not listening anymore."

Zhong Chongshan looked at her, couldn't help but sigh, and then said sincerely, "You are truly the most special person I have met in all these years, and the one who has left the deepest impression on me."

Lin Mushi thought to herself, "Who told her to be so beautiful?"

Gu Yuqiu gave a casual "hmm" in response.

"Then let's leave it at that."

Zhong Chongshan said nothing more, pushed his wheelchair forward, picked up the iron box on his lap, and carefully placed it down.

After doing all this, he gestured for the two to follow him, and together they left the room.

Pushing open the door, they found a Special Affairs Bureau employee waiting outside, who handed the three of them documents from his arms.

It was only then that Lin Mushi understood why Zhong Chongshan had asked them to come along.

As a key location for storing sacred relics, the road leading to this room is extremely secure and subject to complex regulations. One of these regulations is to prevent unscrupulous individuals from stealing the relics when the room is empty. Normally, three people must enter the room together to monitor each other.

Zhong Chongshan has the right to disregard this condition.

However, he had always adhered to this principle since taking office and had never deviated from it. How could he suddenly abandon his insistence just hours before the handover, thus arousing suspicion for no reason?

After the three signed the fourth document handed to them by the employee, the process finally ended, and they were able to leave.

The matter was temporarily resolved, and the sound of the wheelchair rolling down the long corridor seemed to become more cheerful and less somber.

Zhong Chongshan's mood improved, and he took the initiative to say, "Given your relationship with the Messenger of Natural Disasters, you should know what that sacred object stored in Xin Chu is, right?"

Gu Yuqiu asked, "Is this a test?"

When she said this, her expression was calm and her tone was even more indifferent.

The meaning behind the words was very sharp and could easily make people feel uneasy.

"No."

Zhong Chongshan glanced at Lin Mushi and shook his head, saying, "The level of secrecy regarding this matter is not high, and you will find out later as long as you are willing to know. Therefore, it is not entirely against the rules, and it cannot be considered a test."

Gu Yuqiu said, "I just want to remind you that indecisiveness is a very bad thing, and it is often the root of failure."

This sentence is a bit long, but the meaning is easy to summarize: hesitation leads to defeat.

Not long ago, Zhong Chongshan's sudden question, wondering why she was distracted, was undoubtedly a persistent test, though he didn't persist.

Just like the conversation she had with Zhong Chongshan at the Baima Lake Hotel two hours earlier, which covered many aspects, it also ended abruptly.

They seemed to have talked a lot, but they deliberately avoided the most crucial question, or rather, they didn't delve into it to find the real reason.

That's why she spoke so clearly above, even using the word "testing".

Zhong Chongshan remained silent.

Gu Yuqiu ignored his reaction, walked to the end of the corridor, and pressed the button for the floor she wanted to go to.

The three of them entered the elevator one after the other.

The atmosphere gradually froze.

Lin Mushi was very uncomfortable with the silence. She looked at Gu Yuqiu's profile, thought for a moment, and said, "So... what is the name of that sacred object?"

As soon as the words left her mouth, she regretted it, wondering why she had brought up this topic.

Gu Yuqiu didn't care about these things and said, "Lost Void Slash".

"what?"

Hearing the name, Lin Mushi was quite surprised and said with a smile, "Isn't this name too strange?"

No matter how you look at it, these three characters together seem a bit strange, giving off a somewhat inexplicable feeling.

Gu Yuqiu suddenly fell silent.

Zhong Chongshan raised his head, looked into her eyes, and gently reminded her, "All the sacred objects in this world originated from the twenty-three years since the spiritual energy revival, and the Lost Void Slash is no exception."

Lin Mushi was slightly taken aback, and finally realized what a stupid thing she had said.

"in addition……"

Zhong Chongshan glanced at Gu Yuqiu with a hint of pity and sighed, "Those people who were connected to this sacred object are all living well now."

Lin Mushi was silent for a moment, then asked, "So this name... must have some origin?"

This statement was somewhat abrupt, clearly an attempt to change the subject, and it revealed a fact.

"You really are a young person."

Zhong Chongshan chuckled self-deprecatingly and said with emotion, "The gap between us older folks is too big. I wonder if you will feel the same way when you sit in my position or above mine in the future."

Lin Mushi thought to herself, "I can't stand kids right now."

But she couldn't say such things aloud, so she could only smile slightly, making herself mute and refusing to repeat her previous mistake.

This was merely a remark, not a genuine desire for an answer. Zhong Chongshan, oblivious to their silence, fell into deep thought.
