Slayer of Gods: I lied; I became the agent of the Nine Gods.

Chen Muye called Lu Yu, who was sitting on the sofa, and led her to his office.

As soon as he closed the door and gestured for Lu Yu to sit down, Chen Muyi couldn't help but get straight to the point:

"Lu Yu, you need to think this through. You saved Lao Zhao that day, are you really sure you're okay?"

Chen Muye's expression was more serious than ever before. He was indeed grateful to the girl for pulling Lao Zhao back from the brink of death, but if this outcome required the girl's sacrifice, it would only cause them, the adults who wanted to protect the people, pain.

"I hope you're not lying to me, Lu Yu."

Lu Yufei quickly denied this guess: "Really not! It's just that I can't use the Forbidden Ruins right now..."

A half-truthful statement won't raise suspicion, but if you say there's absolutely no cost, these people certainly won't believe you. Therefore, Lu Yu needs to prepare for the appearance of the power of the primordial gods in the Great Xia Dynasty.

"I can guarantee with my life, Captain, that I will never hurt Da Xia, because—I came here for you."

Lu Yu suddenly chuckled softly, "It might sound arrogant, but I never lie..."

Because everything I lied to you about has come true!

"Then tell me, did you obtain a divine ruin or a forbidden ruin?"

Chen Muyi stared at the person's drifting eyes with a mixture of belief and doubt.

"...The Divine Ruins..."

Lu Yu touched the tip of her nose and sighed. She really didn't dare lie in front of this person...

[You still lack ability and need practice. You made your living by lying, so you can't be scared by such a small problem.]

The system's sudden reminder instantly snapped Lu Yu out of his daze.

Yes, she grew up by lying, so how come she gets so scared by a slightly stronger person that she can't even tell a lie anymore?

That's really quite unbecoming...

She should be able to lie as naturally as drinking water.

However, now that the truth has been told, there's not much need to continue making things up.

It just so happens that she also needs to make her current background more palatable.

Lu Yu looked at the man waiting for her to continue and lowered her voice slightly: "Captain, it's not that I don't trust you, it's that I don't trust the current Night Watch."

"Did you know there's a mole in the Night's Watch, Captain?"

Chen Muye's pupils contracted, and he suddenly stood up.

"How do you know?"

Lu Yu laughed: "It was the gods who told me..."

It's a god again...

Chen Muye was speechless. You won't say who your god is, but you still have to release such a bombshell. Are you trying to make them anxious to death?

Hearing the alarm from the system, Lu Yu knew that the world's consciousness was warning her not to reveal the future.

Once again, he was teetering on the edge of deportation. Lu Yu: I really shouldn't spoil things... I thought I could reveal the mole's name...

"I can't say anything else, but don't worry, Captain, the gods will soon be watching, and you won't have to work so hard anymore."

You no longer need to carry the burden...

The Great Xia Dynasty will eventually have gods accompanying it...

Although everyone adheres to the principle of relying on themselves, they are really too tired and have lost too much.

Lu Yu thought of Shiva's wrath, which had brought her trouble when she first came into this world, now being sealed in the forbidden realm of the person in front of her, and for a moment they were speechless.

Chen Muyi looked at the determination and sadness in the girl's eyes and felt somewhat dazed.

Is she sad for them?

Protecting the people is what those with special abilities should do, so why is Lu Yu, who was also going to join, so sad?

"You...are afraid of death?"

Chen Muyi's voice was somewhat hoarse. He had some guesses, but he was also afraid that those guesses were true.

Do not……

"You are not afraid of your own death."

Chen Muye spoke in a declarative sentence, stating definitively, "What you fear is our death."

Lu Yu's white eyelashes trembled, and her hands, hanging at her sides, unconsciously clenched.

She heard her reply with a laugh: "How could that be? How could anyone die? I was just worried that you guys, Captain, are working too hard..."

Don't panic...

Lu Yu thought to himself.

So what if I was seen through...?

Is he wrong?

She truly did not want to face death; she feared that she would continue to live on the burden of these protectors' lives.

"..."

Neither Chen Muyi nor she spoke again. The two sat quietly in the office until the ten o'clock alarm rang, at which point Lu Yu stood up.

"I'm leaving now, Captain. I'll come to training tomorrow!"

The girl left as if fleeing.

Chen Muye still didn't move.

After a long while, he took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, pulled out a cigarette, and put it in his mouth.

He didn't light it; he just put it in his mouth.

"How did you know...we would die..."

Chen Muye sighed with a wry smile.

This child is so foolish...

Those eyes could hold nothing, nor could they hide anything.

In just a moment, he saw her longing and fear in that azure blue.

It was as if the people in her eyes were destined to die, and she, like an outsider who could do nothing, watched sadly.
