My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 112 The Clues Found by Chu Zhu

Lei Tong stepped forward, his expression unchanged, and began to undress the men.

"..." Chu Zhu's eyes twitched. Are you taking off your clothes to examine me? No, you're taking off your clothes, why are you touching me? Wait, your hand is grabbing down to my crotch... Ouch!

"Although I've known about your fetishes for a long time! But actually seeing it..." Chu Zhu said she couldn't bear to look. This was in public! Couldn't you at least cover yourselves up with a cloth? Tsk! Despicable.

"No...that's a personal issue! You can't let this cause misunderstandings about our God Worshipping Society." Zhang Hai's lips trembled, mainly from anger.

"You're worried about a massive number of isolated cases stigmatizing God-worshipping priests, right?" Chu Zhu glanced at Zhang Hai sideways. How dare you say such a thing?
Zhang Hai: "..."

Maru, where does he even begin to explain himself? He felt like he didn't even believe his own words of defense anymore!
"Found them!" Finally, Lei Tong reluctantly took out five fist-sized white beads from the group. "They do feel a bit... off! But they shouldn't be considered forbidden artifacts?"

"...How is this possible?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Hai's expression changed drastically. If it wasn't a forbidden artifact, how could it possibly affect him?

“I’m not finished yet!” Lei Tong shook his head, gently rubbing the white bead with his fingers. “If it is subjected to a violent impact, the bead will break! The internal energy will likely leak out… This internal energy should originate from some forbidden artifact.”

Lei Tong paused briefly, his words now tinged with a heavy sense of apprehension, "In other words, it's a derivative!"

The scene fell silent.

"It seems the water is deeper than I imagined!" Lu Yun could no longer maintain his imposing demeanor, his brows furrowed tightly.

If derivatives can affect Zhang Hai, who is at the third level... then what must the true grade of this thing be?

Something's not right! Is something of this caliber really something they should be dealing with?

“Perhaps, this matter is indeed enough to warrant Bishop Hu’s personal intervention!” Lei Tong pursed his lips.

"...Did you sense it?" Zhang Hai suddenly asked abruptly.

Lei Tong remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "I haven't detected anything unusual within a radius of 500 meters!"

Chu Zhu's eyes widened slightly, and at that moment she realized, "His supernatural ability is perception?"

No wonder he was sent to search for forbidden artifacts. And no wonder, he's clearly the head of the Fourth District, his strength should be lower than Zhang Hai's, and he's also a cultivator… yet he's here at this time too—

But then again, doesn't this further confirm that Lei Tong's body search just now... was malicious?

“You could say that! But,” Zhang Hai’s expression was more serious than ever before, “you can’t ask him what kind of supernatural power he has… I’ll repeat myself! You can’t ask—supernatural powers are actually quite sensitive things.”

"With so many cultivators emerging, basically all kinds of supernatural abilities have appeared... or rather, similar supernatural abilities have appeared!"

"Many of these supernatural abilities have already shown obvious weaknesses in the past! Therefore, they must be concealed, hidden as much as possible... because it is very likely that the complete exposure of these abilities will allow the enemy to find a flaw in them in the future... and then strike a fatal blow!"

"Furthermore, even if some people brazenly tell you about his supernatural abilities, don't believe them entirely." Zhang Hai stared at Lei Tong, his tone enigmatic. "Perhaps the supernatural abilities he displays aren't his true abilities! Maybe he's just using them to mislead others as much as possible..."

Lei Tong simply smiled in response.

"I see." Chu Zhu nodded in realization. Intelligence warfare, huh? Jojo! He knew that one...

and so.

"Then what is your supernatural power?" Chu Zhu asked immediately.

Zhang Hai: "...?"

I'm so angry I could laugh! Are you kidding me?!
Lei Tong paid no attention to what the two clowns were discussing. With a blank expression, he took out his phone from behind him, dialed Bishop Hu's number, and began to report the situation with a serious expression.

"Alright." After hanging up the phone, Lei Tong looked up at Zhang Hai and said solemnly, "The bishop has ordered that we not leave the Third District Church for the time being! Since it's a derivative, it means that the other side may still have this kind of thing."

"Even if they are derivatives, their numbers should be limited!" Lu Yun frowned in thought. After all, if the number were too large, wouldn't it be necessary to attack all the cathedrals simultaneously at the same time?
However, the number cannot be too small! Otherwise, it would be impossible to make five beads at once.

"The bishop will send someone to take the samples away soon! Then they'll start analyzing them... It's not a big problem. Once the first district comes up with a solution, we can all go home!" Lei Tong said calmly.

He had absolute faith in the God-Worshipping Society.

They're nothing but a bunch of stinking rats hiding in the gutter. If they really think they can threaten the God-Worshipping Church by somehow getting their hands on some forbidden weapon, or even make them hesitate to act against it, that's the most ridiculous joke ever.

Chu Zhu pondered for a moment, glanced at Zhang Hai, and said, "I think I'll stay in the old room for the night."

"Do as you please." Watching Chu Zhu leave, Zhang Hai pondered for a moment, then looked at Lei Tong again, "So, what about these believers?"

“Naturally, it will be severe torture!” Lu Yun said expressionlessly, a vicious smile curving his lips. “Dare to collude with heretics and attack the church! This is an unforgivable crime!”

“…Perhaps, they don’t actually know either?” Zhang Hai frowned. If he remembered correctly, Chu Zhu had initially said that they would shout “We only wish to believe in God” and then self-destruct.

Based on this reasoning, they are very likely just ordinary people who know nothing! They were simply tricked by the "omnipotent" side...

However, even if Zhang Hai wanted to speak up for them, he couldn't find the words. He couldn't very well bring up Chu Zhu as a reason, could he? Say that the enemy was definitely "omnipotent," and that these people were probably innocent? Because Chu Zhu had a mole over there? Wouldn't that be deliberately causing trouble for Chu Zhu?

Chu Zhu has already sacrificed two brothers for this, how could he do such a thing? Wouldn't that make him an ungrateful wretch?

"Heh! You think you're so great, so high and mighty! You're just like our host." Lu Yun sneered, glancing sideways at Zhang Hai. "Isn't it just that you don't want to dirty your own hands?"

"Fine, fine, I'll just torture you then! Okay, satisfied now? Get lost, just pretend you didn't see anything. Just eat what's served to you!" Lu Yun's words were filled with deep resentment.

"...That's not what I meant!"

“Hypocrisy! That’s enough.” Lu Yun said coldly. “Of course, if you’re not hypocritical and actually feel sympathy for these enemies… heh, then you’re even more foolish.”

"I have come not to bring peace to the land, but to bring war!" Lu Yun chanted softly, giving Zhang Hai a deep look. "You will inevitably suffer greatly, even die, because of this!"

Lu Yun flicked his hand, and the iron chain shot out with a whoosh. No one knew how many times he had practiced it, but it wrapped smoothly around the legs of the five people.

He shook himself violently and dragged the group toward the side hall!

"Try to think more positively." Lei Tong walked to Zhang Hai's side, patted Zhang Hai's shoulder, and said gently, "However, judging from this guy's appearance... the Templar Knights might just be a disguise for him!"

Lei Tong's face showed apprehension, a fleeting fear before he cautiously asked, "Perhaps he's from the Inquisition?"

Upon hearing those three words, Zhang Hai shuddered, his expression changing. Finally, listening to the agonizing screams coming from next door, he showed reluctance but could only nod with difficulty.

"Wait a minute!" Zhang Hai suddenly realized something. "The hand you used to pat my shoulder felt... no, your hands aren't washed yet!!" Why did you pat his shoulder with the hand that was holding his hip?!

"I don't mind your behavior, yet you still dislike me?" Lei Tong immediately became angry.

"What did I do that you're so disgusted with me?" Zhang Hai's eyes widened in disbelief. He simply couldn't understand why his colleague would say something so human-like!
……

at the same time.

Chu Zhu had already returned to the room from last time.

He closed his eyes slightly, organizing the information in his mind.

"The five believers who came this time are completely different from those last time!"

"Perhaps they really are just randomly selected believers? Not omnipotent! Just genuine followers of the God Worshipping Society..."

"Considering the change in time, could the enemy really be observing the church? It shouldn't be using divine sense or anything like that! If it were, Hu Kaikang would definitely have noticed it."

After all, just by looking at his demeanor, Chu Zhu had already realized it.

This person is definitely a big shot in the cultivation world!
"In other words, it involves using something like a telescope!"

Chu Zhu has also noticed the most bizarre thing about this world right now.

Even the strongest are not omnipotent!

Due to limitations, the powerful can only exert their immense pressure in front of the extraordinary!
Against an ordinary person, the strongest thing he could display was kung fu that didn't exceed the comprehension of normal humans.

Once the power he displays exceeds the range that humans can accept, it is highly likely to trigger the search by Nuwa No. 17, and then the search by the Commandery.

Judging from the current situation, even cardinals don't seem to want to be caught out.

In other words, if the mastermind were to hide several kilometers away and observe with binoculars, theoretically they would not be able to detect anything amiss!

perhaps?

“But if you think about it this way!” Chu Zhu’s fingers gently traced the ground as he slowly closed his eyes, conjuring up a map in his mind of the area within several kilometers of the Third District Church—

"Hmm, there are only two suspicious locations! The eastern crane and the tallest building in the third section on the west... These two locations offer the best vantage points overlooking the church," Chu Zhu murmured.

"If I were in that situation, I would probably choose the crane tower!"

The reason is simple: the area over at the top of the building is a true affluent neighborhood! It's heavily guarded, with dedicated security guards at every entrance... There are even numerous cameras installed inside the building that resemble ancient artifacts.

The crane has been standing in Zone 3 for a very, very long time! Not many people go there…

Considering the secrecy required by the mastermind...

Of course, if the mastermind behind this is really that arrogant and has really decided to do the opposite of what's expected... then Chu Zhu can only admire his courage and ask Nuwa No. 17 to give him a comprehensive monitoring combo!
"Let me see if I can catch you red-handed."

Chu Zhu slowly opened her eyes, her gaze sharp.

……

11pm.

Chu Zhu still couldn't fall asleep. He got up, left the room, and went to look for Zhang Hai.

"...What are you doing knocking in the middle of the night?" Chu Zhu knocked on the door for a full half minute before Zhang Hai opened it with a dark face.

"Did you wash your hands?" Chu Zhu asked expressionlessly.

"?" Zhang Hai was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening, his face turning bright red. "You, how could you insult me ​​for no reason..."

"Still pretending in front of me!" Chu Zhu sneered. "Do you dare swear to God? Swear that you weren't in the room with that pretty boy under your bed..."

"I was wrong!" Zhang Hai shouted, his face solemn and sincere, his words righteous and earnest.

This has absolutely nothing to do with Lei Tong next door, who has already opened his door and poked his head out to see what has happened.

Chu Zhu was not surprised at all. Zhang Hai couldn't possibly be sleeping this early. If he wasn't doing that kind of thing, why would he drag it out for so long?
"So, what exactly are you doing, old man?" Zhang Hai's face contorted in pain as he lowered his voice. "Just tell me straight, I'll definitely help if I can! My little ancestor! I'm begging you."

"It's nothing... I was just looking!" Chu Zhu said noncommittally.

"?" So you're deliberately trying to cause him trouble!

After glancing at Lei Tong again, Chu Zhu thought for a moment and then asked, "What about the last one?"

"...They're probably still interrogating him!" Zhang Hai suppressed his rage and said with difficulty, "The specific location should be..."

"Okay!" Chu Zhu nodded, then chatted for a couple more minutes before taking her leave.

Following the address Zhang Hai gave him, he found his way to the church's front hall, where he could faintly hear wails coming from the side hall, as well as Lu Yun's excited questioning voice.

"Will you tell me or not! Hehehe, actually I quite like you tough guys... You must keep holding on, my little cuties..."

"This guy is still as sadistic as ever!" Chu Zhu thought to himself. After confirming that all three were still alive, he didn't think about it anymore and returned to his room.

By this time, it was already midnight!
"If nothing unexpected happens, today should be a safe day..." Chu Zhu lay on the bed for a while, her mind racing. "Besides, the church actually has its own security system! Hmm..."

With this in mind, Chu Zhu did not hesitate any longer and bit down on the poison deep inside her teeth.

The familiar taste spread through my mouth before finally being swallowed!

then……

Time begins to reverse!
