Dongzhou, Dadu District.

The night on the river beach is as quiet as ever.

A woman in red and white sacrificial attire holds a sweet potato and eats it in small bites.

This is the best food she has eaten in a while.

Perhaps because of the need to "dissipate", the last meal is often the most delicious... Chu Ling said silently in his heart.

So, eat slower and slower still.

The two of them walked along the river bank quietly and slowly. Finally, Chu Ling found an old but clean wooden bench and sat down. The two of them cuddled up and watched the world of the river.

The lights were extinguished one by one.

Thousands of words are lost in silence.

Gu Shen felt the slight trembling of the woman in his arms.

It's like a cat fluffing its fur.

That is actually the flow and overflow of source matter...

The "wishing technique" of Shenshi Mountain has reached its limit.

Chu Ling's body is about to burn out.

Someone lit fireworks in Yinghai District at night, and puffs of light burst out in the distant sky.

Chu Ling looked at the fireworks in front of him.

She seemed to understand something, smiled softly, and murmured: "So this is what 'death' feels like..."

Chu Ling raised his palm.

The golden thread wrapped around the fingertips spread out uncontrollably.

From this moment on, Chu Ling could no longer use divination because she was losing her body, and losing her body meant that she could no longer pay the price of spying on her destiny.

Chu Ling was a little emotional.

Regarding the feeling of "death", Tie Wu described it quite vividly, but he seemed to be only half right.

Chu Ling silently stretched out her palm, like a camera, trying to see the night sky with fireworks blooming in the distance. This was the last scene she left for herself before her "death"... It turns out that death is really like fireworks.

It's just that her death was more like a scene where the word "fireworks" was broken apart.

Drifting away like smoke.

Withered like a flower.

This is a very slow process...when the fireworks dissipate, so does she.

The two people cuddling on the bench just became one person.

Gu Shen looked at the red and white sacrificial robes scattered and stacked on the bench. The faint fragrance was still lingering in front of his nose, but the girl who went south with him had already dissipated into the long night.

His expression was a little complicated.

Gu Shen stretched out his hands to pick up the scattered sacrificial robe, and then a small orange cat head emerged from the robe.

"Meow."

The orange cat's eyes were full of confusion.

It doesn't understand why the sweet-smelling girl who was holding it just now disappeared so suddenly?

…

…

"Gu Shen!"

The night on the river beach did not remain peaceful for long.

A familiar voice sounded from behind. Gu Shen hugged the orange cat and looked back.

Old acquaintance.

"New Year's Eve?"

He couldn't help laughing when he looked at the man wearing a motorcycle helmet who was a little unbalanced when he walked because he was top-heavy.

After being away for many days, Hu Danian is still the same as before.

But when he pulled off the helmet with force, Gu Shen knew that he was wrong.

Hu Danian has long flowing hair, but paired with a tight-fitting brown motorcycle suit, it looks a bit like...

Gu Shen was thinking about adjectives.

Hu Danian laughed loudly and said, "Tell me loudly, do I look like a majestic lion now?"

"No, more like a bear in heat."

Gu Shen sighed.

He stood up and gave Hu Danian a symbolic hug.

Reunion after a long absence.

New Year's Eve is still that New Year.

"Headquarters said they have something to ask you...but your 'spiritual link' is closed to the outside world."

Hu Danian scratched his head and said: "Madam and Mr. Xiao Cui provided your location. I thought it wouldn't be difficult to find you, so I set off... No, it's so late at night, why don't you just watch the moon alone?

?”

Gu Shen smiled bitterly.

Apparently Madam and Mr. Cui knew that they and Chu Ling were secretly traveling south.

So they didn't bother me.

It's just that... Hu Danian, a fool, doesn't know this news.

"Hey wait a minute, something is weird."

Hu Danian glanced at the bench and saw a set of women's skirts. Then he looked at Gu Shen with a strange expression, "You don't know how to..."

"well……"

Gu Shen sighed leisurely.

What a headache.

It would be troublesome to explain this outfit...

He stretched out his hand, motioning for Hu Danian to come closer, and then flicked out a wisp of blazing fire, which hit the center of Hu Danian's eyebrows.

Than explain.

Gu Shen chose to use blazing fire to erase this "bad" memory in Hu Danian's mind.

Crisp and efficient.

They had just met and before they could even exchange greetings, they knocked him down. Gu Shen felt a little sorry in his heart.

But...it's not deep.

After all, this is not the first time this has happened to Hu Danian.

"Brother Danian, you'd better have a good sleep."

…

…

Huazhi Building.

Gu Shen pushed open the door of the conference room on the top floor. As he expected, a small emergency meeting was taking place here. Several of his acquaintances were present, including Lu Nanzhi, Cui Zhongcheng, and Nanwan Assemblyman Chen San.

"You're the only one?"

Lu Nanzhi looked at this unexpected guest, smiled, took a sip of coffee, and asked, "That Miss Chu didn't come with you?"

Of course she's here...and she's looking at you.

Gu Shen smiled, resisted the urge to say the previous words, and said softly: "She went back first."

"Actually, the headquarters doesn't want to disturb your vacation."

Senator Chen San looked sincerely, looked at his watch, and said slowly: "Logically speaking... you should be enjoying a sweet vacation on the river beach, right?"

"If no one sends out the coordinates, it would be really sweet now."

Gu Shen pulled up a chair and sat down, slowly turned around, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao Cui, don't say that you accidentally let Hu Danian see the coordinates... I'm afraid you are the only one here who understands the character of that fool.

.”

At this moment, Senator Chen San understood why Gu Shen came to this building.

This was the result of Cui Zhongcheng sending someone to "invite" him.
