The kiln cave was dim.
The girl's voice was as sweet as honey.
Yet to Gu Shen, that voice now... was practically the whisper of a demon!
Who would have thought that a serial killer wandering River Beach late at night, murdering nearly ten men in succession... would be a sixteen-year-old girl?
She was an out-of-control individual, a high-risk existence who possessed Transcendent Abilities!
In an instant, Gu Shen's forehead broke out in a dense layer of cold sweat.
And during the few seconds he remained silent, the voice behind him rang out again, this time tinged with resentment.
"Little Gu Doctor... don't... don't you like me?"
Gu Shen slowly drew a deep breath.
If he rejected her—
There was a good chance that the very next second, she would pull out a pair of scissors and cleanly slice across his throat—
Even after withdrawing from the Profiling state, Gu Shen's mind remained exceptionally calm. He lowered his head slightly and did his best to observe his surroundings.
The world inside the kiln cave was almost completely dark, but from the subtle shifts of light and shadow entering his vision, he could roughly deduce Qu Shui's current posture.
She was pressed close behind him, about twenty centimeters away. That distance was far too close... She could attack him at any moment, just like in the Profiling memory.
More importantly, if she was the Transcendent from Hu Danian's file, then what was her Transcendent Ability?
Everything was unknown.
Suppressing the urge to turn around, Gu Shen slowly said, "Qu Shui... you're a very good girl..."
The conclusion he had reached just now was—
He could not reject her.
If he did, she would lose control.
The girl's voice was clearly filled with delight. "Then you mean..."
"Mm."
Gu Shen nodded lightly.
