My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 202 Supernatural Power: Fluid
Chu Zhu closed her eyes, sorted through the contents of the diary she had read, pondered for a moment, and then walked straight out of the Nuwa Base to find Ning Linglong.

“…You, you, you were looking for me!” Ning Linglong said softly. At this moment, she recalled everything that had happened before, and she still felt embarrassed, frustrated, and a little unwilling.

"Give me your hand." Chu Zhu extended her palm with a serious expression.

"...Hmm?" Ning Linglong fell into deep thought. Her mind was in chaos, and one idea after another flashed through her mind. Could it be that Azhu had changed his mind...? But Azhu's attitude before clearly showed that he ignored her.

Or perhaps Ah Zhu didn't realize it at first, but then came looking for her afterward? She didn't seem like that before, did she? Besides, Ah Zhu shouldn't be that slow-witted…

Despite her confusion, Ning Linglong instinctively reached out her hand, only to have it firmly grasped by Chu Zhu: "You might feel a little uncomfortable right now! Take your time to adjust."

"?" Ning Linglong was stunned for a moment. Is your discomfort serious? Her lips moved as if she was about to ask something, but then she noticed something was wrong and her eyes sharpened.

"My supernatural power is called memory!" Chu Zhu explained softly, already prepared to reset it—

As for now, naturally we should find someone we trust and test our supernatural powers...

Of course, since his cultivation level hasn't reached the second realm, he can't use the inscription skill. However, even if the inscription fails, there will still be experience feedback!
Chu Zhu patiently explained the second realm of divine power that he had developed: "The specific meaning of inscription is..."

After a while.

"? I understand. So you want to replicate my supernatural power? Of course, it's just for testing," Ning Linglong said thoughtfully. "Alright... then, wait a minute!"

Ning Linglong's expression changed drastically. "No, normally, shouldn't the formation of a fully developed second-stage divine ability only begin after you've reached the second stage? You're still in the first stage... Just what is it?!"

"And another thing," Ning Linglong said, increasingly uneasy, feeling like she was about to explode, "you just said there was no way to successfully inscribe it, but even if the inscription fails, doesn't that mean you can at least..."

The next instant, a message appeared in Chu Zhu's mind.

Supernatural power name: Fluid

First Supernatural Power: Water Flow
Second supernatural power: ? ? ?
Chu Zhu's eyelids twitched a few times. Even though he had suspected it, seeing that Ning Linglong truly possessed the power of terminology still shocked and surprised him. Especially... fluids?!

The meaning contained in these two words is terrifying!

No wonder Ning Linglong could manipulate water—she was only pretending to possess the water-controlling supernatural powers of Taoism… In reality, she was simply using the power of fluids to create a phenomenon similar to water control.

"You...you really know?" Ning Linglong's face paled as she scrutinized Chu Zhu's changing gaze...

Oh no, Master, we've leaked the secret! And it seems like I leaked it willingly...

"Please," Ning Linglong pleaded, grasping Chu Zhu's hand in return. "Don't reveal my supernatural abilities. I'll do anything..."

"Alright, I know you've got your eye on me! Don't keep emphasizing it." Chu Zhu patted Ning Linglong's hand, comforting her gently, "What are you thinking? If I really did something, the next step would be taking responsibility, right?"

Ning Linglong: "???"

What?! There's such a way to do it?!

"Speaking of which, did you have any special feeling before?" Chu Zhu tried to activate the inscription, and as expected, failed. "Don't worry, I know your supernatural power is 'fluid'..."

Chu Zhu didn't utter those two words aloud, but he mouthed them to Ning Linglong. He looked directly into Ning Linglong's eyes and earnestly promised, "I won't leak this and cause you any trouble."

Upon hearing, or rather seeing, the word "fluid," Ning Linglong's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.

"...Strictly speaking, it seems not! It's just that my divine sense could detect something slightly off." Ning Linglong slumped her head for a while, then realized something and was immediately shocked. "No, you knew about my divine ability so easily? Are you really sure you're still in the first realm... This! You're not lying to me, are you?" "You don't actually have a memory divine ability at all, but a detection divine ability?"

How is that possible? It's precisely because she herself came from the first realm... that she understands just how enormous the gap between them truly is! And this isn't even your main job... What makes you think you can compete with this...?

"No, no, no!" Chu Zhu shook her head, earnestly correcting him: "I only know that your first supernatural power is water-based, but I'm not so sure about your second supernatural power..."

"...What difference is there?!" Ning Linglong was drenched in sweat. A cultivator's power largely rested on their supernatural abilities. And once these abilities were leaked, the enemy could devise numerous methods to counter them...

Once a supernatural power is broken, even when facing a cultivator of a lower realm...

Let alone detecting even the first supernatural power... even just knowing the name of a supernatural power! It might cause things to go wrong in the future.

"The difference is still quite big! But I'm very busy right now, so think it over yourself." Chu Zhu released Ning Linglong's hand and turned around again.

Ning Linglong: "?!"

Why do I feel like I've become a tool?

They arrived at the special forces captain's office.

Chu Zhu saw Bi Xuan sighing and looking distressed, and without hesitation stepped forward and slapped him on the shoulder: "Xuan! Why haven't you gone out to work yet?"

Bi Xuan was startled and turned to look at Chu Zhu. He first breathed a sigh of relief, then gritted his teeth after realizing what was happening: "For now, there's no alarm... or rather, the last alarm was dealt with by Senior Guan Fei! He hasn't returned yet."

"I see." Chu Zhu said thoughtfully, then asked, "You shouldn't have noticed anything unusual, right?"

“? Something’s wrong?” Bi Xuan was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought hard. He looked Chu Zhu up and down with surprise and uncertainty, and nodded solemnly: “Yes!”

"?"

"I sense that you're not in a good mood right now!"

"!" Chu Zhu paused for a moment, suppressing the urge to curse. So, did that mean he didn't notice anything unusual? So, Ning Linglong's strength was a level higher than his, so her divine sense could vaguely sense something was wrong, but that was all, without any substantial evidence?

If they're at the same level... they'd be instantly killed?

Wow, that's terrifying... Is your memory ability really that strong?!
Supernatural power name: Omnipotent Door Opener

First Supernatural Power: The Universal Key

Chu Zhu carefully considered the information about Bi Xuan's supernatural abilities that she had obtained, and her gaze towards Bi Xuan held a hint of unease: "..."

Alright, alright! So what you meant by it being related to keys... you mean your primary supernatural power is related to keys?

I never imagined that someone with such thick eyebrows and big eyes would use such a method to mislead people!
Chu Zhu's thoughts were churning. He was also wondering... how exactly does this master key work? Can it open any door?
So, if you were asked to open the door to a nuclear facility, could you do it? If you couldn't, how dare you call yourself omnipotent...?

and many more!

Chu Zhu belatedly realized what was happening, and astonishment appeared on her face. Could it be that what Lin Youcai had said earlier—that if the nuclear facility key was lost, the Imperial Capital would need enough time to make a new one—meant they were going to obtain a forbidden or magical artifact related to the key from the Imperial Capital and use it to open the door?!
Chu Zhu had been puzzled for a long time. If the door to the nuclear facility was not only in the shape of a key, but also involved data decoding and other issues, how could the capital city create a completely new key based on the understanding of ancient relics in this era?

This is utterly illogical! If they could really create the key, then the Imperial Capital couldn't possibly be unaware that the essence of the ancient ruins was actually technology.

Now it seems... it was like a powerful brick being thrown!
