My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 324 Old Huo, because destiny is on my side! (Second Update)

Two-headed Scaled Man: "..."

Choking back a sob, his expression shifting constantly, the two-headed scaly man finally gritted his teeth and accepted the tear that resembled crystal.

He got out of the car, glanced around, and finding no one nearby, it was clear that Zhang Hai had made prior preparations, so he immediately felt no further concern.

He gently placed his tears on his heart.

The next moment...

The tears trembled slightly, as if they had come to life at that moment. Soon, the pulsation of the tears was perfectly synchronized with the heartbeat of the two-headed scaly man.

An endless burst of pure white light suddenly erupted, enveloping the two-headed scaly man's body and transforming it into a cocoon of light. At this moment, the cocoon of light seemed to transform into a heart, beating rhythmically... emitting a faint light and heat.

"One, two, three..." Chu Zhu counted silently.

Half a minute later, the light cocoon was torn apart.

An old man dressed in prison clothes stepped out. His every move exuded an indescribable aura, like a mountain or an ocean, surging and vast. Most importantly... his appearance was exactly the same as that of the Fifth Apostle in Hu Kaikang's state.

“Five years! A full five years.” Hu Kaikang spoke slowly, the two sentences uttered with completely different tones…

His left eye held both joy and sorrow, while his right eye stared blankly at his hand, momentarily lost in thought…

Chu Zhu: "..."

No! What are you doing?!

On the other side, even though Zhang Hai tried his best to control himself, his breathing rate changed slightly when he saw the old man's face, but he remained calm afterward, as if everything that happened in front of him was perfectly normal.

"...Could you explain this?" Chu Zhu's expression was somewhat subtle.

"It's just a mental breakdown. It's nothing! I can control it." Hu Kaikang was calm and gentle. He naturally knew what Chu Zhu was worried about, and continued, "Don't worry, it won't affect the battle at all..."

However, Hu Kaikang's tone quickly changed, clearly speaking from another consciousness: "Alas, if it were just a simple mental illness... it could be cured under the Pope's great grace! It's just a pity that this should be a manifestation of pollution..."

After a brief pause, Hu Kaikang sighed and shook his head: "This is the part that the Pope's power cannot reach!"

"Alright! So, what's the next step?" Chu Zhu didn't dwell on this, as long as his strength wasn't affected. "Get back in the car... Nuwa No. 17, continue controlling the car, heading towards the direction where Huo Qiming is currently under house arrest... By the way, Lao Hu, you should be able to beat Huo Qiming, right?"

“If you’re referring to that person, the Chief of the Military Command in Jinghai City!” Hu Kaikang smiled slightly, his voice brimming with arrogance. But at the same time, his brow furrowed almost imperceptibly… After regaining his composure, he calmed down, his mind racing, noticing many unusual things…

The first two characters of the "Nuwa No. 17" mentioned by the mastermind... how come they sound so similar to the first two characters of the divine language "Great Goddess Nuwa"? Is it another form of divine language...?

So who exactly is this guy...?

Despite his doubts, Hu Kaikang got back into the car.

……

Zone 1.

Inside a villa.

Huo Qiming was practicing calligraphy. He was expressionless as he wielded his brush, then suddenly stopped, examined his work for a moment, and looked at Captain Yang beside him: "How is my writing?"

"A master's touch!" Captain Yang clapped. "What a pity... I just wrote it casually!" Huo Qiming snorted, knowing that Captain Yang didn't understand calligraphy at all and was just trying to flatter him. He slammed the brush on the table, a faint gloom in his eyes.

Captain Yang's body tensed instinctively, a struggle and conflict appearing on his face. He was considering whether to stop Huo Qiming if he really wanted to leave. To be fair, he had also participated in yesterday's quelling operation—

Knowing the inside story, he was also deeply disgusted by his superiors' betrayal. However… as the captain of the Second District of the Commandery, he had handled countless classified intelligence reports, so he was well aware of the true strength of the Great Qian Dynasty… He dared not disobey!

suddenly.

A blinding divine light suddenly rose up outside.

Huo Qiming's pupils contracted sharply. He looked towards the gate, remaining silent. Captain Yang tensed up; sensing something amiss, he instinctively drew a large cleaver.

A series of crisp footsteps sounded, followed by a dragging sound, and finally stopped outside the door.

Then came the knocking on the door.

"..." He was actually quite polite!

"Come in," Huo Qiming said with a dark face.

The door opens.

Hu Kaikang opened the doorknob with his elbow, grabbed a man in a flying fish suit with each hand, and threw them into the room. He clapped his hands and said, "These two guys... were watching you from outside. I took care of them! You're welcome."

A brief silence.

"...Hu Kaikang, you're still alive?" Huo Qiming stared intently at Hu Kaikang's face, his voice filled with surprise and uncertainty. As for saying thank you...isn't that ridiculous? How could Huo Qiming not know that there were others monitoring him from the outside?

To put it bluntly, having Captain Yang oversee him was simply a way to check and balance him and Captain Yang... to prevent him, or rather Captain Yang, or even both of them, from helping that person together...

Now that the other side has taken care of those two, he'll only face more trouble afterward to prove his innocence... he might even be demoted... or if he's only demoted after this incident... that can only be seen as a sign of the Emperor's deep care for him!
"A lot has happened!" Hu Kaikang sighed for a moment, but didn't say much. Or rather, in his perception, he had only met the person opposite him a few times and wasn't very familiar with him. He also didn't know what kind of connection the imposter had with the other person!
Following Chu Zhu's orders, Hu Kaikang took out his phone and dialed Chu Zhu's number: "However, there is another person... who wants to talk to you now!"

"It's me," Chu Zhu's calm and composed voice came from the phone.

Huo Qiming's pupils dilated slightly. After a brief silence, he sighed and asked, "...How did you know?"

Huo Qiming felt this was outrageous... He was getting up at six o'clock in the morning to prepare for work when he was suddenly told that he did not need to go to work today and should stay home to rest—he knew this was house arrest!

Because he had been operating in the Commandery for a long time, he obtained a small amount of information through some other channels. Combined with the situation and reasoning, he was able to barely figure out the current situation... But how did Chu Zhu know this?
No… this isn't even a question of knowing anymore! It seems… there's clearly a solution already in place—they've even dragged out the supposedly dead Bishop Hu! Regardless of whether Chu Zhu's actions will ultimately save her, it only made Huo Qiming feel like he was defying the heavens…

“Because ‘Destiny’ is on my side!” Chu Zhu answered irrelevantly. After a brief pause, he went straight to the point: “Although I’ve already guessed that you understand part of it… I’ll still explain the whole thing now!”

After hearing everything, the most shocked person wasn't Huo Qiming, who already had some guesses, but Hu Kaikang...

No, he got involved in something that involved the Emperor of the capital? And he survived... Oh, so Chu Zhu saved his life? Then it's alright!

Hu Kaikang pursed his lips, then a fierce fighting spirit appeared in his eyes. He naturally had the seed of justice in his heart. Although he realized the strength of the enemy, he also felt his long-dormant blood boil after realizing that he was on the side of justice.

"So, Old Huo, come help me!" Chu Zhu said sincerely, "You should know... Nuwa is on my side! And look at everything the Emperor has done... Doesn't this prove that the Great Qian Dynasty has lost its way?"

He didn't directly say that the emperor was his descendant... Saying something like that under these circumstances would obviously be just a joke.

Chu Zhu's initial goal was to persuade... or at least keep Huo Qiming neutral!

Finally, let him discover this key point himself... Only then is it possible to get Huo Qiming to truly stand on his side!
