Quick Transmigration: The Charismatic Woman Uses Her Stunning Beauty to Complete Missions

Chapter 204 Metaphysical True and False Bronze Inscriptions: False Gold 54

But her legs seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move an inch.

She could only watch helplessly as the flames leaped higher and higher, gradually engulfing Shen Qianyu's figure, her once vibrant and lovely daughter becoming increasingly blurry in the firelight.

Shen's mother felt as if something was choking her throat. She tried desperately to call out Shen Qianyu's name, but could only let out a dry sob.

Tears streamed uncontrollably from her eyes, flowing freely down her face, which was filled with remorse.

She remembered; it was all true. This was how Shen Qianyu died in her previous life.

"Qianyu, Mom was wrong, Mom is here to save you, wait for Mom!" Shen's mother finally struggled to shout out. She ran over and pounced on Shen Qianyu.

Shen Qianyu seemed to hear her mother's voice and slowly turned around, but half of her face was a burned skull.

Startled, Shen's mother then seemed to trip over something, passing right through Shen Qianyu's figure. The next second, the scene before her disappeared, and she found herself in front of a sixteen-story building.

In a panic, Shen's mother fell out of the window. At the last second, she grabbed the railing and hung there high in the air.

Her heart was pounding wildly in her chest, as if it were about to burst out of her chest at any moment.

Looking down, she felt dizzy; the pedestrians and vehicles on the street seemed as small as ants.

"Suffering the same pain as Shen Qianyu before..."

In a daze, Shen's mother remembered what Shen Qianyu had said. She looked up at the sky in despair and cried out, "Qianyu, I'm sorry, Mom is here to be with you."

Mother Shen released her grip, opened her arms, and fell down. The wind whistled past her ears, but her thoughts drifted back to the past, to those scenes that were all punishments inflicted upon her.

With a dull thud, Shen's mother crashed to the ground. A gasp rippled through the surrounding crowd as she lay in a pool of blood, her breath growing weaker.

A slight smile played on her lips, as if, in the last moments of her life, she saw Shen Qianyu's outstretched hand—a sign of forgiveness.

Shen's mother's level of remorse is -100%.

Shen Chumo wasn't particularly shocked when she learned from Tuanzi that her mother had died.

The fate of the Shen family was already sealed; it was only a matter of time. However, the fact that Shen's mother died first was unexpected for Shen Chumo.

Shen Chumo looked at Shen Qianyu, lowered his eyes, and after thinking for a moment, decided to tell her the news.

Shen Qianyu simply hummed in response.

“I have long since severed this kinship. They are just strangers to me, and their lives are none of my concern.”

The next day, they and the special department personnel boarded a plane to Tianchi early in the morning.

Shen Chumo leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes to rest. Cheng Tianqi sat next to her and secretly glanced at her several times. His earlobes were slightly red. To be honest, his senior sister's face was truly captivating.

Cheng Tianqi desperately told himself, "She is your senior sister, you can't beat her. She is your senior sister, you can't beat her. She is your senior sister, you can't beat her." After repeating this three times, he finally felt calm.

At this moment, Gu Qing walked over with a blanket and gently draped it over Shen Chumo. Shen Chumo opened her eyes, saw that it was Gu Qing, and looked at him in confusion.

“Miss Shen, it’s cold on the plane. It would be better to cover yourself with a blanket if you’re sleeping,” Gu Qing explained.

Shen Chumo smiled slightly, "Thank you."

Cheng Tianqi looked at the two of them and felt a pang of sadness in his heart. He hummed softly, turned his head away, put on his headphones, and closed his eyes.

Gu Qing sat back down in his seat, and Qiao Ren looked at him with a half-smile.

"Captain Gu, how come I didn't know you were so kind-hearted?"

Gu Qing glanced at Qiao Ren and said calmly, "When traveling, it's only right to look after each other. Besides, Miss Shen is an important partner in this operation. We can't let her catch a cold and affect what happens later."

Qiao Ren raised an eyebrow, his smile widening, and teased, "Oh, just because we're partners? The way you looked at me didn't seem like it was just ordinary concern."

Gu Qing frowned and said somewhat helplessly, "Qiao Ren, stop making jokes here. It's not like what you're thinking. I'm just doing my duty."

Qiao Ren persisted, laughing as he said, "Alright, alright, I was just joking. Look how anxious you are."

But then again, it seems Cheng Tianqi also has a thing for Miss Shen. His expression just now...tsk tsk tsk, he was so jealous he could practically wring out vinegar.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qing subconsciously glanced at Cheng Tianqi, who had closed her eyes and was wearing headphones. After a moment's thought, he said, "Cheng Tianqi is still young. Perhaps she just has a sense of respect for her senior sister, along with a little bit of innocent affection. That's normal."

Qiao Ren leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, and said slowly, "Respect plus goodwill? What kind of feelings do you have for Miss Shen? Captain Gu, don't fool yourself. Do you think I can't see what's on your mind?"

Gu Qing remained silent for a while before slowly saying, "I do admire Shen Chumo... She is very capable and has a strong personality, but for now, we should focus on completing the mission. We shouldn't think about anything else for the time being."

Moreover, he could tell that Shen Chumo only treated him as an ordinary friend.

Qiao Ren shrugged. "Alright, I hope you really think that way."

Gu Qing didn't reply, but simply closed his eyes slightly as if to rest. However, the image of Shen Chumo's slight smile involuntarily appeared in his mind, and a ripple stirred in his heart.

The plane flew smoothly through the clouds, and after more than six hours, it finally arrived at its destination.

As soon as the group got off the plane, another group from the special department had been waiting there for a long time.

Their leader, Wu Jun, was the captain of the second team. He had a serious expression and a straight posture, and looked like a typical soldier.

Wu Jun stepped forward and shook hands with Shen Qianyu, Shen Chumo, and Cheng Tianqi, saying, "Comrades, you've had a long journey."

I am Wu Jun, the captain of the second team. This mission is arduous and the higher-ups attach great importance to it, so they have specially arranged for my team to cooperate with you.

Next, I will give you a brief overview of the current situation.

Wu Jun handed several photos to the two men. “This is the location we detected. There is a hidden door a thousand meters below the surface of Tianchi Lake. It is speculated that behind that door is likely the core of the world that Miss Shen mentioned.”

As Wu Jun spoke, he pointed to the location of the dark door in the photo, which was blurry but whose general outline could be seen, and his expression was very solemn.

"But every time we approached the secret door, we were blocked by a mysterious force. That force was extremely powerful, regardless of the detection equipment we sent out."

Even the divers we sent before couldn't get past that barrier, let alone open the secret door to explore what was behind it.

Wu Jun frowned, his tone full of helplessness.

"In addition, we also detected a huge creature living at the bottom of this Heavenly Lake. Every time we approach the hidden door, this creature will make a sound to warn us."
