My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 107 Li Kang: He was just using my lines!
in the apartment.

Chu Zhu placed her phone on the table and continued writing two technical documents.

By nine o'clock, he had completed one-third of the two large documents. He glanced at the phone.

"Still no calls from unknown numbers! Don't you trust me? That's normal."

Chu Zhu had a slight headache. What should she do? Go to the counselor? That wouldn't be appropriate! But it was even less likely that she would go to the principal over something like this.

A crisp notification sound made Chu Zhu glance at her phone instinctively, only to find it was a news pop-up on the screen—

A prominent entrepreneur made an investment in a certain place and met with the local Party Secretary.

"Sigh, it's all because of my status and position!" Chu Zhu sighed.

If he were also a well-known billionaire, meeting with a high school principal would probably be a piece of cake, right?

"It's all up to you!" Chu Zhu patted the manuscript she had written on the table, then washed up and went to bed.

Lying in bed with her eyes closed, Chu Zhu's mind was still filled with the two major technical documents.

There's also my unfinished work on Starry Sea, a detailed explanation of Starry Sea, and even textbooks for artificial intelligence departments...

"This is really bad..."

……

Chu Zhu opened her eyes, propped herself up, and stared at Zhang Hai sitting in the chair.

Zhang Hai: "..."

Chu Zhu: "..."

"Me! Is something wrong?" Zhang Hai forcibly resisted the urge to look down and check his clothes.

“Around four o’clock in the afternoon, a group of believers will rush into the church,” Chu Zhu explained expressionlessly. “They will shout ‘We only believe in God’ and then detonate themselves.”

"Immediately afterwards, under the white light of the self-destruction, white wings will sprout from your back, transforming you into an angel, and unleashing a massacre, destroying all the buildings in the nearby streets. Finally, Captain Si Qiheng of the Second District will step in and use forbidden artifacts numbered 4-24 to kill you."

At first, Zhang Hai looked completely bewildered, but as he listened, his expression changed, and in the end, a huge wave of emotions surged within him.

He gazed intently at Chu Zhu.

"You, who exactly are you?!" Zhang Hai's mind was in complete chaos.

"You don't need to ask me how I know these things." Chu Zhu interrupted Zhang Hai. Anyway, he felt that he would most likely have to reset his life again, so he didn't hold back his words.

"You just need to tell me how you plan to resolve this. Also, what's the deal with the angel you transformed into? And why does the white light from the explosion affect you?"

After much thought, Chu Zhu realized that she possessed far too little information about the extraordinary. At this point, she should pose the question and let the person involved figure it out themselves!
Zhang Hai opened his mouth, then closed it again, his face contorted.

"It seems you already know the answer! Speak," Chu Zhu said coldly. "Don't try to fob me off with excuses like 'keeping it a secret'!"

“If you tell me, I might be willing to join the God Worshipping Cult; if you don’t, even if you die, I won’t be able to find someone to avenge you… Of course, if you really die, don’t blame me for printing your shameful secrets on paper and scattering them all over the streets.”

"..." Although Chu Zhu's words were clearly a threat, Zhang Hai couldn't bring himself to get angry. After pondering it over and over, he finally looked up at the sky and said, "I understand!"

“First, there’s the angel,” Zhang Hai gritted his teeth, his words tinged with uncertainty. “Should this be the supernatural form of a core follower of the God-Worshipping Society? Should it be?”

"?" Chu Zhu didn't speak, indicating that she was listening attentively.

"The so-called extraordinary form refers to a strange state that evolves after one's cultivation enters the fourth realm."

“Those who cultivate the unique secret techniques of our lineage will possess that form.” Zhang Hai glanced cautiously at Chu Zhu. “If you truly join, then the cultivation of our lineage will greatly…”

"Skip this and let's get straight to the next topic!" Chu Zhu pressed the skip button expressionlessly. After all, he had already reviewed the Great Grade Bright Light Technique!
"Fine." Zhang Hai sadly realized that he had actually been trained by Chu Zhu to be very accustomed to it, and even with this attitude from the other party, he couldn't get angry.

He said, "But it's not normal for me to go on a killing spree."

"A normal angelic state should be able to maintain rationality. As for your description, all I can say is..."

After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Hai finally said, "I'm currently roughly at the peak of the third realm. It's possible that the situation you described is caused by some kind of forbidden artifact. Its function might be to forcibly force me to break through to a higher level!"

"But if it's a forbidden artifact, there must be a price to pay! The price might be the loss of reason—you said it happened inside a church, but you might not know that churches actually have a protective ritual. So!"

"I understand." Chu Zhu nodded slightly. So, it wasn't out of control after all?

However, Zhang Hai immediately realized that this might not be the first time such a thing had happened.

interesting!
Wait, what's the situation with Zhang Hai in the ruins timeline? Chu Zhu suddenly realized a blind spot. Has it already broken through level four over there?
Chu Zhu looked at Zhang Hai suspiciously. "Then why are you still in group three? You can't even beat your other self? You should leave the group!"
"..." Although Zhang Hai didn't know what Chu Zhu was thinking, he had a subtle feeling that he was being despised and humiliated.

Shaking his head, forcibly dismissing this unfounded misconception, Zhang Hai cautiously said, "Well, actually, I suspect that the one who attacked me is most likely from the Omnipotent lineage."

"Is that even a question?" Chu Zhu scoffed, speaking in a flattering tone, "It's too much of a coincidence. We lost control one minute, and Qi Heng showed up the next."

"And this Qi Heng happens to be connected to Quan Neng. And you just happen to have a conflict with Quan Neng. What a coincidence!"

"Oh, right, afterwards, you can also ensure that the Shadow Assassin escapes successfully... and then stabs me!"

"Hmm," Chu Zhu pondered, her tone uncertain, "maybe...we'll cause some more surprises...and kill Li Kang and the others too?"

Chu Zhu now suspects that, following Zhang Hai's death earlier that evening, Li Kang and the others will likely also encounter an accident.

No one will witness the death! Great, a perfect plan.

After all, Qi Heng has probably realized that Li Kang has noticed the problem with his identity—the evidence of Chu Zhu's correction, which he obtained from Xue Laosan, is still being held by the Third District Commandery.

Zhang Hai: "..."

To be honest, Zhang Hai hadn't actually connected the dots to Qi Heng yet. But you... you're practically stripping the color of the other guy's underwear?

No! Zhang Hai suddenly shivered. He subtly realized that Chu Zhu might actually know what color the underwear was on the other side!
All Zhang Hai could say was that he couldn't understand what was going on in Chu Zhu's head—just how much intelligence did he know?
Recalling Chu Zhu's actions at the Omnipotent Mass, Zhang Hai's mind began to wander. Could it be that Chu Zhu's mole within the Omnipotent organization had uncovered the entire plan and then informed Chu Zhu? This…

Zhang Hai mentally made the sign of the cross, feeling pity for these cultists.

This is terrible, so terrible! We've been played from beginning to end!

But what level of undercover agent would it take to know so much... If you said you came up with the plan, he would believe you!
Wait, could it be that...

"Um." Zhang Hai's gaze shifted several times, but he finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"?"

"You're not going to tell me in the end," Zhang Hai said cautiously, "that you actually have the identity of an apostle, are you?" Chu Zhu: "???"

"Get lost!" Chu Zhu laughed in exasperation. If he had the status of an apostle, he would have become a superhuman long ago.

"Okay!" Zhang Hai nodded quickly, feeling relieved after being scolded.

"What are you going to do next!" Chu Zhu said expressionlessly. "I've paid a heavy price for you. Two good brothers lost their lives because of this!"

Twice, a full two times!! He reset it twice!!!

"I know! I owe you a huge favor." Zhang Hai shrank back again, his face bitter. He wasn't surprised by the two lives lost... but he really didn't know how to repay it! He hadn't even finished repaying the previous favors... and the interest on those favors had ballooned!
"So, speak!" Chu Zhu's words were concise and to the point, conveying a strong sense of pressure from the creditor.

“…” Zhang Hai remained silent, then made the sign of the cross on his chest. “God, please forgive me! Afterwards, I will use one-tenth of my wealth to buy indulgences.”

Then, Zhang Hai straightened his back and said with a look of complete self-satisfaction, "I'm going to find the cardinal of the First District."

"Why should I carry this enemy's weapon, which is clearly a forbidden weapon targeting members of the God-Worshipping Cult, all by myself?"

"Okay." Chu Zhu nodded expressionlessly. Now, let's see what moves the other side makes.

He got up and walked towards the door.

"No, big brother, brother, can't I just call you brother? Didn't you say you wanted to join the cult?" Zhang Hai's expression changed instantly. "I've already revealed so many secrets, you can't, you can't do this!"

"I'll definitely do it next time!" Chu Zhu said without a hint of guilt, turning to look directly into Zhang Hai's eyes. "I never lie!"

Zhang Hai: "...Really?"

……

Police Inspectorate, Special Operations Captain's Office.

Chu Zhu casually opened the door and walked in, but suddenly stopped. He sensed a chilling aura emanating from the room.

"Who are you?" Chu Zhu narrowed his eyes, sizing up the three men dressed in flying fish robes. The three men's faces were all numb and emotionless, and at this moment they subconsciously gripped the long swords at their waists.

He recognized the three men as members of the logistics departments of special operations teams in various districts of Jinghai City.

Well, if he wanted to, he could easily find a connection through all sorts of roundabout means!

"This is a guest retainer of our special forces!" Li Kang's eyelids twitched a few times, and he quickly stood up to explain, silently wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. He had already deliberately sent Ning Linglong and the others away, never expecting that things would actually turn out so unfortunately...

"Also a member of the Commandery?" The leader frowned. He actually didn't look very old, and his eyes still had a bit of a childish look.

After scrutinizing Chu Zhu for a moment, he slammed the half-drawn Embroidered Spring Knife back into place with a clang, his voice icy: "Kid! Be careful next time. Remember to knock before entering, or else!"

"What else, Gao Changming?" Chu Zhu sneered.

Gao Changming stiffened, his killing intent instantly palpable. Had they investigated him?
Damn it, the Commandery is a secret department of the Great Qian Dynasty, combining intelligence and supernatural functions, and its level of secrecy is the highest among all departments in the entire court system!

Even though his social standing was, strictly speaking, even lower than Li Kang's, let alone an ordinary person, even if Sun Qu was in power, anyone who dared to spy on him would have their hand cut off—and even if he killed him, as long as there was evidence, the other party deserved to die!
Before Gao Changming could draw his sword, Chu Zhu slowly asked, "Did you go back to see your grandmother?"

"?"

"Have you forgotten me?" Chu Zhu crossed her arms and said with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Think about it carefully. You should have met me before—your grandmother. I was the one who personally brought her to the Chongming Nursing Home."

“Back then, I was a little…” Chu Zhu gestured to show her height at the time. “I remember you were so grateful to me back then, saying you would repay me in the future! You’ve already forgotten? Good grief, although I don’t care about your help, how can you act like this! Your grandma will be very sad if she finds out about this.”

Gao Changming: "?!"

No! You...

That seems to have happened three years ago, right?
It seems... I do have a vague recollection of it!

Gao Changming was drenched in sweat in that instant. But, but you were wearing work clothes, your face was covered in dust, you looked like you'd just come out of a factory...

Now he's dressed smartly and has a handsome face, how is he supposed to tell that the two are the same person?!

Although he was internally ranting and raving, and his expression remained unchanged, Gao Changming somehow gave others the impression of being completely at a loss.

“Speaking of which,” Chu Zhu gestured and sighed, “a month ago, I did two days of volunteer work at the Chongming Nursing Home.”

"Your grandma is doing alright, but you're so unfilial! How long has it been since you last visited her? If it's been a month and you still haven't gone, it's been half a year! I visit her more often than you do..."

"Although she always says, 'You're busy, I won't bother you,' I can tell she misses you a lot." Chu Zhu looked at Gao Changming with great dissatisfaction, her voice even carrying a hint of scolding.

Gao Changming's cold, numb expression finally crumbled. He felt no anger at Chu Zhu's attitude; only pain and guilt.

His lips twitched, and Gao Changming finally lowered his head, saying, "I'm an unlucky person! My grandmother is my only family, so... it's better for her to stay away from me!"

"She's already so old! So what if you're unlucky?" Chu Zhu's voice was laced with sarcasm. "On the contrary, it's your behavior that will cause the old woman a lot of pain!"

Gao Changming bit his lower lip tightly.

The other two logistics members from the Commandery: "..."

Their senses right now can be summed up in two words—fear!
Seeing this side of my boss, I hope I won't get retaliated against when I get back?
"Hehe, um." Gao Changming noticed his subordinate's gaze, paused for a moment, then instantly regained his cold demeanor. However, his attitude towards Chu Zhu was still different from before: "Sir, um, I don't even know your surname. Thank you for taking care of my grandmother!"

Gao Changming bowed slightly. "I will seriously consider what you have said. Thank you very much!"

"Hmph! I can tell just by looking at you," Chu Zhu rolled her eyes, "You're completely letting things go in one ear and out the other."

Gao Changming pretended not to hear Chu Zhu's sarcasm. He turned around, first glaring fiercely at his subordinate, then giving Li Kang a deep look, and suddenly said, "Captain Li, this man has done me a favor!"

"Considering our past successful collaborations, if he has ever done anything you dislike, please consider it as if it never happened... And if possible, please take good care of him in the future!"

"Please!" Gao Changming bowed slightly again, his voice sincere. At this moment, in Li Kang's eyes, he seemed more human compared to his previous cold, statue-like demeanor…

But the key issue is...

"..." Li Kang fell into thought. He felt a little dizzy and his emotions were out of control.

No, what happened?!
He patted his cheeks, staring blankly at Gao Changming.

Have their roles been switched at this moment?

What you're saying... those are all his words!!
