Godslayer: I use the costume system to cosplay as a god!

After returning to the Red Ridge Villa and putting their luggage away, the three rested for a while. Lin Lin looked at the two cards in his hand, took a deep breath, and clicked to change to [Confession Milk Pudding].

Accompanied by Hongying's enthusiastic gaze and Lin Qiye's already accustomed look, the three of them arrived at the Peace Agency.

Ding dong——!

The words just fell!

The office door was pushed open, and Lin Lin and Lin Qiye said in unison:

"Lin Lin from Night Watch Squad 136 reporting for duty!"

"Lin Qiye, Night Watch Squad 136, reporting for duty!"

Inside the room, everyone exchanged glances and laughed. They weren't as surprised as before when Lin Lin appeared in her tutu. After seeing the "Honey-Colored Heart" version of Lin Lin, they just thought the dreamy tutu was alright.

Hongying chuckled as she stood in front of Lin Lin and Lin Qiye, patting them on the shoulders. "Come on in, come on in!"

"Captain Chen, a new recruit is here to report!"

At the dining table, Wu Xiangnan turned her head and called out to the kitchen with a smile.

The noise in the kitchen stopped, and Chen Muyi came out wearing a scarf. He looked the two of them over carefully, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. "We don't have that many rules in our team. Sit down, it's almost time to eat."

"Exactly, stop lecturing us about rules and principles like Wu Gou does all the time," Hongying complained as she walked to her seat. "It's so annoying."

"Heh, after all, there are no rules in our team, so you're number one."

Wu Xiangnan rolled her eyes.

Lin Lin and Lin Qiye walked to their respective seats and sat down. Leng Xuan looked at the two of them and slowly said, "A temporary setback is not important. With your potential, the problem definitely lies with those higher-ups!"

Wen Qimo nodded and said gently, "It's just a temporary lapse in performance. One day you will amaze everyone."

Lin Lin and Lin Qiye exchanged a glance, somewhat amused and exasperated.

At this moment, Hongying spoke up directly: "They didn't have any issues; one got first place with 98 points, and the other got second place with 95 points..."

Ah this.

Upon hearing this outrageous score, everyone who had just been thinking about how to comfort the two fell silent.

Wu Xiangnan frowned, puzzled, and asked, "So why did Lin Lin and Qi Ye return to Cangnan?"

Lin Qiye shook his head; he was equally bewildered by this matter.

Lin Lin, however, remained indifferent, glancing at Chen Muye who was finishing up in the kitchen.

There are only a few months left before Lin Qiye's [Mortal God Realm] collapses.

Soon after, the appearance of Shiva's wrath will attract the outer gods, directly reigniting the divine war.

Squad 136's leader, Chen Muye, will also dissipate along with the collapse of the [Mortal Divine Realm]. Similarly, all the souls in the entire Cangnan City will be collected by Yang Jian using a soul-gathering bag and kept safe.

Then came Lin Qiye, who went mad for a whole year.

Lin Lin lowered his eyes slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

Aren't you curious about who's first and who's second?

Hongying blinked.

Upon hearing this, everyone at the table shook their heads, showing absolutely no curiosity.

"why?"

Hongying asked curiously.

Leng Xuan said quietly, "Because, judging from Qi Ye's shooting talent, Lin Lin must be number one."

Lin Lin and Hong Ying: "Pfft!"

Lin Qiye sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation: "..."

That made so much sense that he was speechless for a moment.

"By the way, I heard from Sister Hongying that something happened in the east of the city? Is there some new mystery?"

Lin Qiye subtly changed the subject.

“Whether it’s ‘mysterious’ or not is still unclear.” Wen Qimo sighed. “This morning, someone suddenly reported that a body with all ten fingers severed was found in the backyard of a tavern in the east of the city. This is the fourth one this month…”

"And then there are the elusive 'secret thieves'..."

Wen Qimo scratched his head and told the two who had just left the camp about the unresolved issues.

After listening, Lin Qiye frowned slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

Lin Lin raised an eyebrow.

The 'severed finger' corpse that appeared in the east of the city was actually the work of the tavern owner, who was trying to resurrect a mysterious being called [Bell Crand].

They even sacrificed over a hundred passengers on the plane, completing the ritual in mid-air.

It was also because of this, by a twist of fate, that Captain Chen Muye unveiled a corner of [Shiva's Grudge] for the first time in ten years...

And then there's the mysterious 'secret thief' that Wen Qimo mentioned—An Qingyu.

This time, it was once again inevitable that we would have to deal with each other.

Lin Lin thought.

After having enough wine and food.

Lin Lin and Lin Qiye left with a quick message: "Captain, let's go out for a walk to digest our food, and we'll also visit Qiye's aunt's house." They then hurried out of the office.

Inside the room, Hongying, Xiaonan, and Wen Qimo were all drunk and resting on the sofa.

Chen Muyi, Wu Xiangnan, and Leng Xuan were cleaning up the mess.

Hearing Lin Lin and Lin Qiye's words, the three of them exchanged glances, said nothing, and continued to do their own things.

Even Wu Xiangnan, who usually emphasizes rules the most, just shook his head and chuckled, "Really, you can't even come up with a reason."

"This is clearly taking advantage of the captain's soft heart."

“They’re both close to me.” Chen Muyi’s lips curled slightly as he glanced at Wu Xiangnan and said, “Besides, Lao Wu, don’t you spoil them too?”

Wu Xiangnan paused, remained silent for a few seconds, and said, "They are still young after all, so it's understandable."

Chen Muyi sighed softly, seemingly lost in thought, and murmured:

"Yes, they're all still young..."

On the other side, Leng Xuan remained silent, only a slight smile appeared on his lips.

...

As night deepened, the lights of the old town twinkled.

In front of the low building.

Lin Qiye raised his hand, looking at the home he had longed for day and night, and hesitated for a moment.

In just one year since he left, Lin Qiye felt as if a long time had passed between him and his aunt and A Jin.

He experienced a lot that year, and grew from an ordinary boy into a true Night's Watchman.

But when it comes to his closest family members, he seems to have never changed.

Benedict! Benedict! Benedict!

Open the door.

Yang Jin and Lin Qiye looked at each other, their eyes shining, and their faces beaming with smiles. "Brother, welcome home!"

Just then, Auntie came out of the room. "Jin, what's wrong?"

She looked towards the doorway and froze, seemingly unable to believe it.

Lin Qiye took a deep breath and spoke in a slightly trembling voice:

"Auntie, Jin, I'm back."

With tears glistening in her eyes, Aunt stepped forward and gently stroked Lin Qiye's face with her calloused hands.

"Xiao Qi, you silly child, you didn't even call ahead before you came back."

"You've gotten darker and thinner, haven't you been eating properly?"

"It's so late, have you had dinner? Are you hungry?"

"..."

Listening to his aunt's incredibly warm and familiar ramblings, Lin Qiye gazed into her eyes, a gentle smile appearing on his face.

"Auntie, I've already eaten, and I ate very well."

"Auntie, I got to eat the dumplings you made. They're still the best dumplings you make..."
