What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

The man coughed painfully and said in a trembling voice, "You seem very angry. Were you coerced by someone into doing this?"

Several tens of minutes earlier, based on the information they had received, they had determined that Gu Yuqiu, the newly appointed advisor to the Special Affairs Bureau, was closely related to the events of the previous night.

Naturally, Blackstone and the Divine Will Walker reached a consensus and tacitly dispatched people to form a combat team to monitor the advisor.

When they met each other, they couldn't help but be impressed by the caution of the other's superior, who hadn't expected to send so many people.

However, what they didn't expect was that Crimson arrived shortly after the surveillance of the target began.

What happened next was the first phone call Crimson heard.

As for how Crimson notifies the Special Affairs Bureau, it's quite simple.

After beating the two groups half to death, she grabbed the still-alive ones by the collar and threw them away, just like picking up slices of meat from a hot pot.

Then the person who wasn't dead died.

This is how corpses are disposed of.

The corpse didn't injure anyone, but the scene was horrific enough and had a very negative impact—the newcomer Lu Xiu naturally had to bear immense pressure and had to put down what he was doing.

This is what Gu Yuqiu thought.

So Crimson had no choice but to do this.

From the former's perspective, this was undoubtedly a win-win situation, as it eliminated a potential threat to people and also served as a powerful warning to Lu Xiu.

As for what Shen Hong thought, Gu Yuqiu never cared, just as she didn't need to explain to Lu Xiu.

So, Crimson could not possibly answer the question posed by the man lying on the ground.

She glanced in the direction of the stairs and said, "There are so many people."

As soon as she finished speaking, she leaped off the building and disappeared from sight.

A few seconds later, the special agents opened the door to the top floor and came to the helipad, which was now a mess. Looking at the blood-covered scene, they wondered what the hell was going on.

……

……

The coffee shop remained quiet throughout.

The Special Affairs Bureau personnel did not leave, because Lu Xiu was still sitting by the window, staring at the teacup in front of him, as if trying to see a flower bloom in the coffee.

During this long and tedious time, the only sound was a ringing bell that vibrated incessantly at intervals of several minutes.

Crimson appeared.

The Special Affairs Bureau followed closely behind, moving extremely quickly.

Then they saw blood.

And the corpse.

They caught up again.

I saw dead people again.

Let's keep following them.

It's still a dead person.

The process repeated itself over and over until, as dusk fell, the phone finally stopped vibrating.

The people in the room stared nervously at the phone, silently counting down in their minds. When they were sure that the increasingly familiar vibration had stopped, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Hearing the sighs around him, a Special Affairs Bureau employee rubbed his temples and muttered under his breath, "What on earth is Crimson trying to do?"

Lu Xiu said calmly, "It's a good thing overall."

Everyone fell silent.

Yes, this is undoubtedly a good thing for Xin Chu and the Special Affairs Bureau.

As a top-tier expert who is second only to those seven and above countless extraordinary individuals, it would certainly be good news if Crimson had formed a deep enmity with Black Stone and the Divine Will Walker.

The question is, what exactly happened behind the scenes?

For some reason, everyone present naturally thought of Gu Yuqiu, and their eyes fell on Lu Xiu, wondering what he was thinking.

Lu Xiu picked up his cup, took a sip of his now-cold coffee, and said in a low voice, "They really are arrogant enough."

Chapter 91: The Past Repeated Again

Lu Xiu was very famous and had extraordinary skills in ascending to the Divine Realm. He entered the fifth level before he was thirty years old and was considered to have the potential to catch up with that person.

A person like him would naturally be proud.

When even someone as proud as him couldn't help but sigh and think that someone was too arrogant... people's emotions naturally changed.

The coffee shop remained deathly quiet, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Lin Mushi.

Because she was closest to Gu Yuqiu, and they had lived under the same roof together.

Feeling the gazes directed at her, Lin Mushi hesitated for a moment before sitting down opposite Lu Xiu and saying something.

“If your arrogance here refers to… Gu Yuqiu, then she is indeed that kind of person, but I think she doesn’t actually have any bad intentions.”

"Bad intentions?"

Lu Xiu looked up, met her gaze, and asked.

For some reason, he felt that the word had a certain meaning, a kind of mischievousness.

The problem is that Gu Yuqiu shouldn't be associated with such words, even though she often smiles and looks like a young girl in her late teens.

But Lu Xiu was certain that Gu Yuqiu was not the kind of naive and ignorant girl who knew nothing of the world.

"Yes."

Lin Mushi didn't know what he was thinking, and said seriously, "Although Gu Yuqiu has personality problems, likes to inexplicably make people angry, especially likes to say hurtful things, and looks down on everyone, she is indeed a good person."

Lu Xiu looked at her and asked, "What's so good about it?"

Lin Mushi was slightly taken aback, not expecting him to ask such detailed questions, and also felt that the question was rather absurd.

However, she had thought about the question beforehand, so she gave her answer in a short time.

"She is kind to others, humble and gentle, and always willing to help others. She examines herself three times a day. There are a whole bunch of standards for a good person, which she certainly doesn't meet, but she is willing to sacrifice for others."

"sacrifice?"

"You should have seen Gu Yuqiu's file and know her abilities."

"A true lie."

"She can alter something that actually happened, provided that it is related to her, but she must also bear the reality that it once existed."

"for example?"

"She shot a man, and he died from her gunshot, and then she altered the facts, and the dead man came back to life."

"So she'll have to bear the pain of being shot in the head?"

"Yes."

The conversation ended there, and Lin Mushi did not say anything more, believing that the reason was sufficient.

If Gu Yuqiu is not a good person, then why should she endure this kind of pain?

Some might think that Gu Yuqiu simply enjoys self-torture and finds pleasure in pain.

However, after meeting Gu Yuqiu today, Lu Xiu realized that this nominal subordinate was someone who loved life and the world.

Lu Xiu even recalled a world-famous saying. (Note)

But he didn't say it, because the occasion wasn't right, and more importantly, because he felt the compliment was too high—even if it was very appropriate.

"According to your logic..."

Lu Xiu said, "Gu Yuqiu is indeed a good person, and I'm willing to believe you, but that doesn't explain today's coincidence."

Lin Mushi didn't know what to say.

Those present this afternoon could hear Gu Yuqiu and Lu Xiu's conversation and clearly remember the sentence—"I'm afraid you won't have time"—and then Lu Xiu really didn't have time and had to focus his attention on the successive phone calls.

Even an idiot would realize there's a big problem here.

Moreover, Lu Xiu couldn't possibly be an idiot.

Lu Xiu looked at Lin Mushi and said seriously, "I would like to ask you for a favor."

Lin Mushi was quiet for a moment, then asked, "Is it related to her?"

The "she" in the sentence naturally refers to Gu Yuqiu.

Lu Xiu hummed in agreement and said, "I have carefully reviewed her information and found that the only person in the entire Xin Chu who can speak with her is you."

Lin Mushi shook her head and said, "Didn't you see how she treated me when I got up and asked her why I came here?"

Lu Xiu nodded and then said, "But I believe what Director Zhong told me. In his description, you and Gu Yuqiu have a very good relationship."

Lin Mushi remained silent.

For some reason, a number of emotions suddenly welled up inside her.

As she recalled the past following Lu Xiu's words, many decisions that she hadn't understood at the time suddenly became clear.

For example, when Zhong Chongshan asked her to protect Gu Yuqiu, was it possible that a fourth-level expert, after personally arriving at the scene, couldn't see those details and figure out who was the one who needed protection?

She thought to herself, "So you originally intended for me to spy on Gu Yuqiu?"

However, Zhong Chongshan had already completed the handover, so no matter how many doubts she had, there was ultimately no one she could ask.

"I refused."

Lin Mushi raised her head, looked at him calmly, and said, "Because this is not within my scope of responsibility."

Lu Xiu said, "I can solve this problem for you."

Lin Mushi continued, "It's not just about my duties, but more importantly, I feel that I'm not capable of doing this job, and that should be very important to you."

Lu Xiu glanced at the sky outside the window and saw that the last rays of twilight had dissipated. He got up and left the booth, saying, "In that case, I can only apologize to you."

Lin Mushi was slightly taken aback, wondering what he meant by this.
