My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 257 Theft! Three artifacts from the Oriental Antiques Museum! (Fourth update)
"By the way, how do I change my shape?"

The moment this thought flashed through Chu Zhu's mind, just like the instinct of eating and drinking, his shadow followed his thought and transformed into a black crow.

"……Um?"

Chu Zhu stared at the crow, which was over a meter tall, lost in deep thought. Wait, so you actually practice the law of conservation of matter?

Chu Zhu felt there were many things to complain about. With a thought, she transformed her shadow into a giant black cockroach, her expression becoming subtle: "...I have a feeling that if I scurried in like this, it could create a horror story!"

Chu Zhu smiled, just about to add a few more terrifying rumors to the Oriental Cultural Relics Exhibition Museum. Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck him…

“If…” He gave the giant shadow cockroach a strange look, thought for a moment, and then snapped his fingers lightly, “…give it a try…”

then……

The cockroaches, surprisingly, followed Chu Zhu's will and began to split, transforming into hundreds of shadow cockroaches the size of fingers!
"...Wow, that actually works?" Chu Zhu gasped, then realized the problem: "No wonder Shadow Assassins don't use this kind of tactic for assassinations!"

After Chu Zhu split into so many, he could feel hundreds of different kinds of perception and spying information entering his brain. The amount of information was too large and mixed together, so much so that he could not bear it. In fact, he could not even control these shadow cockroaches now.

finally.

With a thought, Chu Zhu's shadows reassembled, eventually coalescing into three crows.

Although these crows were quite large, they were still within a range acceptable to humans! Most importantly, Chu Zhu could only control these… and that was only because of his powerful mental strength—

In a sense, this is equivalent to doing three things at once!
“…Go.” Chu Zhu murmured, and the three crows took flight and soon found a skylight above the exhibition hall.

This skylight is only slightly ajar! It's clearly for ventilation.

Under Chu Zhu's control, the shadow crow's body suddenly flattened, and it scurried inside.

“…Very strong.” Chu Zhu closed his eyes, savoring the information the shadow was conveying.

Inside the pitch-black exhibition hall, three shadow crows blended almost completely into the darkness, flapping their wings without making a sound. Their stealth abilities were beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

It was as if... they were part of the darkness themselves.

"Oh right, I almost forgot about the Shadow Assassins... They all operate at night! Nighttime enhances this supernatural ability..."

For a moment, Chu Zhu even had the idea of ​​using crows to track Howard and spy on the secrets of the Golden Dawn... but he quickly dismissed it!
After all, the ten-minute usage time is a major drawback.

Three crows were manipulated to fly in three different directions. Soon... they locked onto their target!
One is the jade bracelet worn on the wrist of a ceramic statue of a Han Dynasty princess.

One is a bronze wine pot.

The last one is an ordinary tortoise shell.

"Do it!"

Almost instantly, the wings of the three crows adhered to the keyhole. The shadows gradually distorted, seeping into the keyhole and fitting into it, until with a crisp click, it opened!

A piercing alarm suddenly sounded.

However, the three crows didn't care, since the three items weren't anything special. They picked them up and quickly took flight.

It must be said that the security facilities at this Oriental cultural relics exhibition hall are extremely robust.

Within five minutes, a flurry of footsteps could be heard in the three exhibition halls that had been robbed.

All the exits of the Oriental Museum were completely sealed off. Countless people were moving around inside!

Every now and then you could hear exclamations and curses like "Fuck! Fuck you!" and "My God!"

however……

Even before these security guards reached the three exhibition halls that had been robbed...

Chu Zhu had already successfully acquired the three items.

Less than a minute later, Chu Zhu's body swayed slightly, and the three crows vanished in an instant.

"What a pity!" A hint of regret appeared on Chu Zhu's face. He originally thought that the Thousand Shadows Transformation was far inferior to the Crimson Sky Flame...

But now he feels that perhaps in terms of extensibility and destructive power, the Thousand Shadows are indeed far inferior to the Crimson Sky Fire!

However, its applicability is too strong!

Using it as an attack method is just trash; using it as an assassination method is barely acceptable... but using it as a means of theft or eavesdropping... that's incredibly powerful! It's practically a bug.

"Should I say something like... there are no useless supernatural abilities, only useless people?" Chu Zhu muttered to himself as he hurried towards the hotel. Of course, he was just saying it; he didn't actually have that thought!
The ability to create countless shadows is indeed quite powerful, but compared to supernatural powers like memory and destiny... well...

Finally, Chu Zhu once again used her agility to scale walls and rooftops, returning to her room in the hotel.

Detecting the surrounding environment, Z spoke: "One minute ago, Howard called you! I simulated your voice and communicated with him. At the same time, I discovered that a certain AI—suspected to be Skynet One…—is making high-intensity access to various cameras inside the hotel!"

"Oh." Chu Zhu nodded noncommittally, her reaction was quick. It was normal for Howard to suspect him, after all, he had only been there yesterday and the theft had occurred today… However, for now, the suspicion should be temporarily set aside…

“Based on my big data analysis,” Z said calmly, “Mr. Howard doesn’t actually suspect you… he’s just conducting a routine check! Otherwise, he would have his bodyguards knocking on your door within half an hour… Of course, based on data analysis of similar cases, he should also conduct some routine checks on you tomorrow…”

“…If that’s the case!” Chu Zhu took out the tortoise shell, bracelet, and bronze wine pot one by one, and fell into deep thought.

If Howard finds out about these things tomorrow... the scene will be absolutely hilarious!
"Let's see if my original plan... can actually work out!"

Chu Zhu first picked up the bracelet, her expression hardening, and began to continuously channel the blessings within her body into it.

Fuli, naturally, is radiating power. Chu Zhu usually called it Fuli, but it's hard to believe that the dreamers were influenced by that God, and then, as time went by, they developed a misunderstanding of it, so the dreamers liked to call it Fuli... Chu Zhu was also influenced by this.

Chu Zhu silently calculated in his mind that although his input speed was fast, his luck was recovering at an equally fast speed.

It took a full two minutes, and suddenly, the bracelet emitted a faint white light.

"...Hmm!" Chu Zhu did a quick calculation and clicked his tongue in amazement. "The energy I input is roughly equivalent to a quarter of the total energy of a first-realm expert!"

If it weren't for its long battery life, Chu Zhu felt that he wouldn't be able to activate this thing right now.

Then, Chu Zhu activated the remaining two items one by one.

The reason they only require energy from the first realm to activate is naturally because their grade is far inferior to the Crimson Sky Sword...

Then...

Name: Drunken Moon Pot
Supernatural power: Transforming wine
Description: Capable of turning all liquids into alcoholic beverages. Allows for manipulation of alcoholic beverages!

Chu Zhu shook the bronze wine pot. Hmm, it sounded unremarkable, even worthless! But his good friend had figured out a way to use it: directly brewing spirits—in fact, this bronze wine pot could brew any known alcoholic beverage! From Moutai from China to 1982 Lafite, just add a drop of the original spirit, let the bronze pot record the flavor, and it could brew them all…

It's a godsend for alcoholics! But for Chu Zhu, who doesn't drink... well.

And the good brother indirectly controls the flames by using the properties of alcohol!

As Chu Zhu sprayed alcohol into the flask to complete the recording, he recalled his diary entries... His good brother once used this flask to turn all the water in a pond into alcohol, manipulating it to create an alcohol dragon, which he then ignited... The scene from that time...

Perhaps it could be considered indirect fire control?
Chu Zhu looked at the next item.

Name: Bracelet of Emptiness
Supernatural Power: Expanding the Void
It sounds amazing, but... it's basically just a small space inside. It's used to hide things...

As for exactly how much can be hidden...

I'm not sure about that! Anyway, my good brother hasn't been able to find the upper limit... However, whether you're taking something out or putting something in, it consumes mental energy! The larger the item, the more mental energy it consumes.

Moreover, even if his good brother replicated this ability, he would only gain a personal space that he himself couldn't enter...

It can be strong in some ways, but also useless in others.

Chu Zhu sighed, "My good brother initially thought... this thing could create a low-end version of Kamui... that he could hide inside it when in danger... but it turns out it can only collect inanimate objects!"

Shaking her head, Chu Zhu looked at the last item.

Name: Arrow-avoiding armor
Supernatural Power: Arrow Avoidance
As the name suggests, in ancient times this meant the ability to forcibly dodge all arrows. It sounds like it's not very useful in reality…

However, after testing it out, my good friend found that when this thing is worn and properly powered, bullets will miss... and even missiles aimed at you will inexplicably crash near you! Even shrapnel from exploding grenades will deliberately avoid you...

Overall... it's pretty outrageous!
Chu Zhu touched the tortoise shell, subconsciously recalling his good brother's diary entry: "I almost got ambushed by a missile! Luckily, I was more skilled... But also, luckily the missile wasn't loaded with a nuclear warhead! Otherwise... I would have had to run away quickly! Hehehe, didn't expect that, did you? As long as it doesn't hit me head-on, I can run incredibly fast! Actually, if it really had a nuclear warhead, I might have been able to absorb some radiation energy!"

"Anyway, they are three very good items." Chu Zhu said with emotion, then channeled energy and threw the tortoise shell, the bronze wine pot, and the other items into his spatial bracelet.

"And then!" After examining the bracelet for a moment, Chu Zhu pulled out a handful of gold beans that she had bought in Shenzhou from her travel bag!
Chu Zhu calmly took out a spray gun and other equipment he had bought in Shenzhou, melted the gold, and then applied it to the bracelet.

He doesn't really need the antique appearance of the bracelet; he values ​​its function. He can simply change the style!
After a while.

A gold bracelet appeared out of thin air.

After examining it for a moment, Chu Zhu put it on her wrist, a hint of joy appearing on her face: "Very good! Very good."

After thinking for a moment, Chu Zhu took out a gold-plated bracelet from his backpack. He had also bought it, and its appearance was not much different from the gold-plated bracelet he had made. Gold-plated bracelets are not real gold! The price is shockingly cheap... However, when clearing customs, Chu Zhu declared it as gold.

Chu Zhu casually broke it, crushed it into gold dust, and poured it into the toilet to wash it clean.

"In this way... all the loopholes will be patched!"
