In retrospect, it's no wonder she preferred to stay in this quiet home after arriving in Xinchu; there was a reason for it all.

"It's almost done."

Gu Yuqiu withdrew her gaze and said, "The stage is ready, and the final play should begin. Otherwise, not only the audience, but even I will get tired of waiting."

Deep Red wonders if you're referring to Lin Mushi, or... the Pope who will arrive in a couple of days?

……

……

"I'm ready."

"Let's go then."

"You want to come with me?"

"Yes."

What is the reason?

"If you die, I won't be able to see it with my own eyes, which will definitely be a regrettable thing, and what I hate most is regret."

"So this is the real you as the world admires you?"

"I'm sorry, but if this has shattered your illusions, I will still refuse to apologize."

Su Yan said.

Lin Mushi's gaze fell on her, and he said calmly, "No need. I should thank you for telling me the truth that you can know a person's face but not their heart."

She paused for a moment, then said, "I'm leaving."

Su Yan concluded, "Then I sincerely hope you die."

Chapter 100: Chapter Ninety-Eight Divine Intent

Across from Lin Mushi's house, in the distance, stands a modern high-rise building. One of its floors suddenly became quiet a few days ago, no longer as busy as it used to be.

Because all the people who originally worked there had been asked to leave, the people who are now there are from the Divine Will Walkers.

Unlike the Church of the Sleeping Souls, the Divine Will Walkers are an extremely famous organization in the world today. Although their leader is not at the peak of the fifth rank, in the eyes of various countries, their danger is even greater.

The reason is simple: the deity worshipped by this organization is a true, living god, not the ancient god buried by endless ages that the Church of the Sleeping Demons believes in.

Perhaps it was precisely because the followers of divine will did not receive the blessing of that deity, or even a single glance, through their faith, that they became exceptionally frenzied in this incident.

In their view, the relic left behind by the god in New Chu was a test set by the god for them. When they passed the test, the god would come like lightning... or one of their saints would be able to inherit the throne, ascend to godhood, and rule the world once again.

Yes, the deity that the Divine Will Walker believes in and follows is none other than Gu Yuqiu from the past.

As for Gu Yuqiu's attitude.

Her words were clear enough in a conversation about faith between her and Gao Shu, a believer from the Church of the Sleepless.

Gods have no need for faith.

Faith and following have always been the needs of believers.

Therefore, Gu Yuqiu never paid any attention to the Divine Will Walkers, only thinking that they were a group of hopeless idiots, and was unwilling to say a word more.

The white cat had once tried to persuade her to use this power to complete her plan—but Gu Yuqiu had a strange obsession with cleanliness in this regard, disliking dirt, or rather, not wanting to get too close to idiots.

However, Gu Yuqiu's indifference did not dampen the enthusiasm of the Divine Will Walkers. Among them, one of those who held power and called themselves saints had already come to Xin Chu.

……

……

"The target has been spotted."

As those five words appeared on the communication system, those who had been monitoring Lin Mushi in this high-rise building for over ten days began to chat leisurely.

"Based on her habits, she wouldn't go out to buy groceries at this time. Is it a delivery?"

"The target has not made any online purchases recently."

"Then why did she go out?"

Various messages centered around Lin Mushi began to circulate again, slightly faster than before, due to this sudden and unusual behavior.

Where is the target going?

"It's impossible to make an accurate judgment at the moment. According to the results of her prophetic abilities, it seems that she... is going to the Special Affairs Bureau."

"Please inquire, Your Excellency, whether it is necessary to stop this."

As soon as the words were spoken, the monitoring scene fell silent. The extraordinary individuals from the Divine Will Walkers quietly awaited the outcome.

After an unknown amount of time, as Lin Mushi walked out of the community gate amidst various sophisticated instruments and under the watchful gaze of extraordinary abilities, the reply finally arrived.

The answer is simple.

The text is so concise that there is no possibility of misunderstanding or even forced misinterpretation.

"Capture Lin Mushi at all costs."

……

……

Lin Mushi's background had already been thoroughly investigated by the Divine Will Walker.

Born into a single-parent family, she was sensible from a young age, studied diligently, and made progress every day. When she came of age, she suddenly awakened and became an extraordinary person, embarking on the path to godhood. After being reviewed, she joined the Special Affairs Bureau and has been working and studying part-time ever since. She is a remarkable young woman.

If you only look at this information, then Lin Mushi is just an ordinary genius, not worth mentioning at all.

But because of certain events in the past few days, such as the death of Mr. Zhuo, the destruction of the Fool's Ship, and Crimson's serious injury, this name has gained a strange luster and entered the eyes of many people.

However, the vast majority of people still firmly believe that she is not yet at a level to have access to that person's relics.

Crimson's actions were undoubtedly a deliberate attempt to create a false impression and distract the opponent.

That's why the members of the Divine Will Walker who were responsible for monitoring Lin Mushi seemed so lazy and unmotivated when they first started discussing things.

After all, Lin Mushi looks so ordinary no matter how you look at it.

But the message that the saints are now conveying, which they are treating with such seriousness, has completely shattered their understanding.

After a not-too-long period of silence, the members of the Divine Will Walker on the floor looked at each other and then nodded.

"Let's begin."

……

……

Lin Mushi was unaware that she was being looked down upon, and even less aware of the reactions of those people.

Of course, even if she knew, she wouldn't care, because she had already learned to ignore the opinions of passersby.

She had already gotten into the ride-hailing car and was sitting in the back seat. She silently refused the driver's attempts to talk to her and quietly looked at the rearview mirror in front of her.

Su Yan sat down next to her.

She was looking at Su Yan.

Since she left home, the innocent queen stood beside her without saying a word, as if she had become completely transparent and isolated from the world.

Lin Mushi was very uncomfortable with this, but she didn't want to be seen as a weirdo for talking to herself, so she could only remain silent.

Su Yan suddenly said, "Don't you feel anything yet?"

Lin Mushi understood what she meant, knowing that she was asking if she could sense those gazes, and nodded almost imperceptibly.

Su Yan said, "Then you're not completely beyond saving."

Lin Mushi thought to herself, "Can't I inform Lu Xiu and tell her about this?"

"of course can."

Su Yan smiled and said, "The problem is that the situation in Xin Chu is so tense. Even though you are different in his eyes, does he really have the spare power to believe in you?"

As if no one else could see her, she didn't deliberately lower her voice when she said these words, but only one person could hear them.

Lin Mushi did not speak.

Su Yan continued, "Since someone has decided to take action against you, they will definitely go all out."

As soon as he finished speaking, a soft sound was heard.

A drop of rain fell from the sky.

It collided with the car window.

It shattered into a flower.

Lin Mushi watched quietly for a while, then tilted her head slightly to look at the sky. She saw that the clouds were not completely dark yet, and there was still a faint ray of light falling.

Then the sunlight was blurred by the increasingly heavy winter rain.

The chill in the air deepened.

She heard the driver start complaining and cursing the terrible weather, so she looked away and slowly and carefully straightened her collar.

Not long after, the driver drove onto the overpass, braving the now-stabilized rain.

It wasn't even midnight yet, but there were already quite a few vehicles on the bridge. Lin Mushi sensed the malice hidden in the rain and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Then she remembered that Su Yan was right beside her, so she wasn't so worried anymore. She took a deep breath and was about to speak to the nagging driver when...

That extremely uncomfortable feeling welled up in her heart again.

She subconsciously looked in a certain direction, trying to find the source of that aura in the rain. A few seconds later, a figure clearly appeared in her eyes.

There stood a middle-aged man wearing a raincoat, his hands unarmed, like a passerby helplessly sheltering from the rain.

No one would suspect that such a person harbors ill intentions.

For some reason, Lin Mushi was convinced without hesitation that this person was suspicious and was one of the Divine Will Walkers.

In a very short time, some information she had obtained in the Special Affairs Bureau in the past surfaced in her mind, so clear that it was as if she had heard it just a second ago.

"Curse, the path of secrets, the law, the gift of death."
