My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 157 Captain Huo: You possess the divine power to foresee the future, don't you? (Second Update)

"So... cell phones were found on Li Ping's bedside table and inside Zhang Long's toilet tank... Hmm, it's confirmed. There's a frequently contacted, unfamiliar phone number? And the two phone numbers match... Good, very good."

In the end, Huo Qiming's expression remained calm, but his voice took on a slightly cold tone.

He may be chivalrous, but that doesn't mean he'll be soft-hearted.

Or rather, quite the opposite, he will only strike hard against evil!

“Secretary Zhang,” Huo Qiming said, enunciating each word clearly, “you must immediately take all seven of these traitors away…”

"But you've only found evidence against two people..." Chu Zhu interrupted softly, "What grounds are you going to use to arrest the remaining five?"

Huo Qiming paused for a moment, then turned his head and stared intently at Chu Zhu.

“If I were you, I would put the phone back exactly where it was right now! And restore the room to its normal state.” Chu Zhu paused briefly, organizing her thoughts, before continuing, “Because there might be far more than just these seven undercover agents!”

“We should lay the bait, monitor them based on their usual friendships, and gradually uncover any suspicious points. That would be more reasonable—or, even if we really have to arrest them, we can't do it under the pretext of espionage!”

"Use embezzlement, corruption, bribery, and the pretext that they are suspected of committing some crime to arrest them... But you can't use these pretexts to arrest all seven at once! Arresting two is already the limit. Any more will arouse suspicion from the undercover agents!"

Huo Qiming pondered for a while, and after confirming that there were no logical problems, he nodded slightly. Just as he was about to repeat himself, he heard Chu Zhu say, "Let me add something important: Li Ping likes to tuck a hair into the crack of his door when he goes out! Don't forget that."

"...Secretary Zhang, after the ideological education work is completed, target Li Ping directly on the grounds of his corruption! Lock him up and interrogate him. Hold off on interrogating the others for now... Only use the cameras inside the General Administration to monitor the other six!" Huo Qiming hung up the phone after saying this.

After the inspectors left, they deliberately left a hair inside Liping Gate? They don't deserve it! Since you're so cautious… go tell them in jail!
"Kid, you're pretty good!" Huo Qiming looked him up and down, his eyes filled with admiration. Even though he didn't have high hopes, he still extended an invitation, "Interested in... becoming my secretary?"

Compared to the last time, his extraordinary memory and exceptional talent sparked Huo Qiming's desire to take him on as a disciple.

The fact that Huo Qiming has now extended an invitation to Chu Zhu as his secretary means that he admires and values ​​Chu Zhu's administrative, business-handling, and intelligence-gathering abilities—he hopes to focus on cultivating Chu Zhu's political talents.

It is different from taking on apprentices.

If Chu Zhu agrees this time, with Huo Qiming's support, she will become a prominent figure in the Military Commandery...

Furthermore, if one could gain the trust of the capital, becoming a dual manager spanning both the extraordinary and the mundane realms like Huo Qiming, it wouldn't be impossible.

"Let's change the reward!" Chu Zhu said lightly. "I'm used to being carefree and can't be a big shot in these systems! Being the director of the exclusive management department is already exhausting enough."

Li Kang: "..."

He hesitated several times before speaking, "You spend all day in the Nuwa base, I wonder what you're doing... Is it really tiring?" Li Kang thought that if Bi Xuan heard Chu Zhu say this, he probably wouldn't be able to hold back and would explode at Chu Zhu!

"This puts me in a bit of a bind." Huo Qiming rubbed his temples, pondered for a moment, and then offered the exact same reward as last time: two honorary vice-captain positions!

Chu Zhu rolled her eyes. So, this was the same as not having performed any merit? Although that was indeed quite reasonable.

"Alright, that concludes this inspection. I should head back now," Huo Qiming said calmly. After all, something like this had just happened at headquarters, and he needed to return to oversee and manage the situation.

"Did I say that this was the end of it?" Chu Zhu suddenly asked. This made Huo Qiming, who had already turned around, stop in his tracks.

"I want something!" Chu Zhu stared straight at Huo Qiming's back, holding up one finger. "I want the management and control of the Second District Special Operations Brigade! Of course, one day is enough..."

"...Didn't you answer that you didn't want to be the temporary team leader?"

"So I only need one day." Chu Zhu smiled. Letting him use the special forces to deal with the enemy was no problem, but making him clock in every day? Forget about that.

He said calmly, "After Qi Heng escaped this time, he made contact with the Omnipotent faction... Hmph, those cultists are truly determined to destroy me! Qi Heng plans to flee to another city and adopt a different identity! From now on, he'll live as a wild superhuman... And before he leaves, he plans to complete the Omnipotent lineage's request—"

"Kill me, and Li Kang will follow!"

Li Kang: "...?"

No, is this related to him?!

Li Kang's face turned green, but then he remembered the 4-24 the captain had just given him, and breathed a slight sigh of relief, making up his mind.

For a period of time afterward, whether sleeping, eating, carrying out missions, going to the toilet, or even taking a shower, you had to keep the Soul Sword by your side for everything! At the same time, you also had to be careful to prevent sneak attacks.

"This is outrageous!" Huo Qiming turned back, his eyes filled with a deep gloom. After what had happened before, he no longer doubted the information Chu Zhu had provided. However, after pondering Chu Zhu's words, he vaguely realized something, but he wasn't quite sure. "So, what you want is control for one day..."

He felt he understood what that meant... but the problem was, he shouldn't have misunderstood, right?

"Yes," Chu Zhu nodded with a smile and said, "My goal is, of course, to capture this Captain Qi Heng."

Huo Qiming frowned more and more, looking at him with suspicion and uncertainty.

Are you serious? You think you can arrest Qi Heng in just one day?!

If he goes back now and orders the mobilization of cameras along various routes to conduct intelligence gathering... even after two or three days of this process, they might not be able to find Qi Heng's whereabouts.

If Qi Heng were to flee to another city during this period, there would be absolutely no hope of finding him... The only hope would be to issue an arrest warrant in the future and try one's luck!
But you... are you really that confident, that overtly assertive...?

"Do you know his location?" Huo Qiming asked further.

"I can make a rough estimate!" Chu Zhu's voice was as confident as ever, as if everything was under control.

He said, "Don't ask me about my sources of intelligence, just like... I can know the sources of intelligence for undercover agents!"

“After all, he’s Mr. Zhu! Perhaps there are residents from the shantytown redevelopment area lurking over there…” Li Kang quickly added to Chu Zhu’s words.

"Do you think this is reasonable?" Huo Qiming glanced at Li Kang sideways, neither confirming nor denying.

Li Kang shrank back, looking at Chu Zhu with a bitter expression. Huo Qiming thought for a while, then finally stared sharply at Chu Zhu, "But kid, I think I've guessed your situation."

Although Chu Zhu remained calm, she couldn't help but wonder if she had really gone too far with her bravado this time. Well, let's see... what if the other side really...? Should she reset it later? Next time, she'll be more cautious...

Then he heard Huo Qiming say, "Is this your 'supernatural power'?"

Chu Zhu: "?"

"Kid! According to the information, you've already become a cultivator, but I can't sense any fluctuations in your divine sense at all. Amazing! I can't detect any flaws at all." Huo Qiming praised enthusiastically. Even his physique is so normal...

His first impression of Chu Zhu was that she didn't seem like a superhuman, but rather like an ordinary person.

Chu Zhu pursed his lips. This was, of course, because he had routinely copied himself... but now it seemed to be quite effective! Even a powerful figure like Huo Qiming couldn't detect anything amiss. But speaking of which, what exactly did you mean before...?

"Is your supernatural power the art of great prophecy? Or a glimpse of the future? Or perhaps Zhuangzi's dream of the butterfly?" Huo Qiming slowly spoke, constantly speculating.

These are all powerful supernatural abilities that the Commandery has recorded, allowing them to glimpse the future!
The characteristic of this type of supernatural power is that it is rare! You could even say it's almost nonexistent.

Aside from the least effective glimpse into the future, which mostly points to a possible future scenario, Zhuangzi's Butterfly Dream...

The two great supernatural powers, the Great Prophecy and the Glimpse of the Future, both originate from the Celestial Secrets lineage within the God-Worshipping Society.

However, the Great Prophecy originated from Western sects, while a portion of it did not originate from indigenous sects!
In a sense, the two supernatural powers are actually one! They are just given different names by the two factions... The contemporary masters of this supernatural power are all appointed as the Heavenly Secrets Bishops of the God Worshipping Society!

"So many years have passed, and it has finally reappeared!" Huo Qiming sighed, a hint of reminiscence appearing in his eyes. Finally, he gave Chu Zhu a deep look and warned her seriously, "However, if this is truly the case, you'd better keep your supernatural abilities well hidden..."

"...You mean...?" Li Kang seemed to suddenly realize something, his pupils widened, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Looking at Chu Zhu, his eyes were filled with undisguised worry.

The power to predict the future is extremely strong.

But everything has its pros and cons—this supernatural power has an extremely serious, even fatal, problem!
On the one hand, there are far too few. Back when the Heavenly Secrets Sect was still around, even with a complete training system, the entire God Worshipping Society could probably only produce one such person at a time, and that one person would basically become the Heavenly Secrets Bishop of the Heavenly Secrets Sect…

Even at the peak of the number drawn, only two numbers were drawn in total.

One is the head of the Western faction of the Celestial Secrets Bishop, and the other is the head of the local faction of the Celestial Secrets Bishop.

The second fatal flaw is that it doesn't show the cause and effect...

The Tianji lineage no longer exists.

The fundamental reason for its disappearance is...
