My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 13: The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom
The older man had a gentle yet resolute face and deep, calm eyes. He spoke softly, his voice not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone around him and carried far.

"...Let us cling tightly to the Lord and find eternal comfort in His embrace!"

"We only wish to believe in God!" Many people responded devoutly.

"The God Worshipping Society." Chu Zhu's eyelids twitched a few times. The dream world is a world where religion is prevalent, and the God Worshipping Society is the foremost of the many religions in this dream world.

Chu Zhu had always believed that it was because she had read the story of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at some point, which naturally gave her the impression of the God Worshipping Society, leading to its appearance in her dream world... But now it seems...

The younger men noticed Chu Zhu. Or rather, Chu Zhu was too conspicuous now; about 30-40% of the people around her put their hands together in prayer, and even those who didn't believe in the God Worshipping Society showed reverence.

Chu Zhu's attitude was neither respectful nor reserved; it was as if he were sizing him up, yet it also carried a certain unsettling connotation.

However, before he could even consider whether to go forward and ask, Chu Zhu quickly turned around and disappeared into a small alley. The shantytown was a maze of interconnected streets, and Chu Zhu knew it all too well.

Soon, he arrived inside the industrial zone.

"It's been a while since I've seen Zhang Hai and his apprentice Zhang Xu... Oh, no, I should say that in the current main timeline, I'm the only one who knows them, while they don't know me!" Chu Zhu said coldly. There wasn't a single important figure in this city that Chu Zhu didn't know.

Zhang Hai, the older man, is the head of the Jinghai God Worshipping Church... Yes, head, not bishop! In general, although the God Worshipping Church worships God, it is a highly Easternized organization.

Furthermore, according to the information Chu Zhu had previously gathered, the God Worshipping Society was quite divided. Some followers believed in a Western God, while others believed that the God the God Worshipping Society referred to was actually the Eastern Jade Emperor… Therefore, the fact that this religious organization could still maintain a semblance of unity and hadn't launched a heretical holy war seemed… quite normal to Chu Zhu in the past. It was just that it seemed quite unbelievable to Chu Zhu now.

"If nothing unexpected happens, these two should also possess extraordinary powers! Hmm..." Chu Zhu suddenly paused, pondering whether to run to Zhang Hai's house first, dig out his little yellow book, and then say, "Mr. Host, you don't want to either..."

"We can try it next time! But this time," Chu Zhu said, arriving in front of a continuous stretch of buildings, "since we're already here!"

This place, with its pavilions and towers, exudes an antique charm, resembling the residence of royalty and nobility. It is filled with the style of Suzhou gardens, yet the gates are wide open, and people come and go at the entrance.

Above the plaque in front of the door are several pictographic characters that are not simplified Chinese characters, written in a vigorous and elegant style.

[Jinghai City Third District Government Office]

This is the government office of the Third District of Jinghai City.

That's right, after much deliberation, Chu Zhu decided against robbing the bank directly... He planned to first investigate and see if he could obtain any useful information from the Commandery. If that didn't work, he'd reset it again!

Chu Zhu took a deep breath and walked into the government office. However, instead of crossing the paved stone bridge to enter the main gate, she suddenly turned around and walked towards the rather ordinary cement stone house located in the western part of the area.

Third District Police Department.

Straightening her collar, Chu Zhu strode into the door with a carefree air. "Hey, Sister Susan, is it your shift today? By the way, is Uncle Li here? I'm looking for..."

The next moment, a piercing alarm sounded.

Chu Zhu: "!??"

What the hell?

Chu Zhu was momentarily stunned, his mind racing. The dog-headed man and his gang were robbing banks again? Wait, the timing doesn't add up… While there's the butterfly effect, what he did couldn't possibly have affected those guys robbing banks so quickly. Susan, who had been smiling when she saw Chu Zhu, froze, almost instantly drawing her pistol from her waist and aiming it at the front door over Chu Zhu. "…Nobody here?"

"Who is it? Where is it!"

Susan was visibly sweating profusely, constantly glancing at the windows and the other rooms. The other police officers in the hall were also tense, but despite their repeated observations, they couldn't discern anything amiss.

"What's with this flustered behavior?" A deep voice suddenly rang out. The inner door of the police station was pulled open, and a tall, middle-aged man, holding a cell phone... uh, a tablet computer, walked out.

His muscles were like a monstrous product of chemical agents, with grotesque lines and swelling as if they were balloons about to burst. The curves of his muscles were bizarrely outrageous. Although incredibly strong, they had lost the harmony that a human body should have.

It was Li Kang!

Chu Zhu clicked his tongue in amazement as he looked at Li Kang. To be honest, he had known Li Kang since he was very young. Even his ability to lead the grassroots governance of the shantytown redevelopment area had been aided by a small amount of help from Li Kang and a few others…

Although he doesn't seem like a good person at all, Li Kang is indeed... um?!
"...Those muscles!" A thought flashed through Chu Zhu's mind, and a storm raged within him. Li Kang's muscles looked exactly like the muscles that had swelled up when he was mutated by high-intensity radiation.

You also...

The tablet screen in Li Kang's hand was also flashing red. Li Kang stared intently at the tablet and walked step by step to Chu Zhu. He looked at the red dot on the tablet that matched his position, and then glanced at Chu Zhu in front of him, his face stiff.

Chu Zhu: "..."

Li Kang: "..."

"...Huh?!" Susan belatedly realized that Chu Zhu had triggered the alarm? But... how could this be? It doesn't make sense... What on earth is going on...?

Her mind was in complete chaos, but Susan still instinctively aimed...

"Alright, it's all over!" Li Kang said calmly, pressing a button on the screen. The piercing alarm instantly fell silent!
"Come with me." Li Kang wasn't worried that Chu Zhu would harm him or run away, so he turned around directly.

Chu Zhu pondered for a while, then ground her teeth; there was a small pill there. If she could just grind it up and swallow it, there would be no cure in one second, and death in three seconds—this wasn't just targeting Li Kang; Chu Zhu usually did this to ensure she could restart at any time.

After confirming that everything was in order, Chu Zhu followed.

After several twists and turns, we soon arrived at the end of the corridor. A sign on the door read, "Special Forces Brigade Captain's Office," written in a flamboyant style.

This is Li Kang's office.

Just as Chu Zhu was about to go in, Li Kang stopped her.

"You've gone the wrong way... This is the way!"

Chu Zhu looked in the direction Li Kang pointed. He stared at the toilet, lost in deep thought, and finally looked at Li Kang in disbelief!

It's a toilet, fine... but oh my god, you're talking about the women's toilet?!
