My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 325 The Holy Son of the Trinity: Chu Zhu! (Third Update)
Huo Qiming lowered his head and remained silent.

“…Hmm!” After waiting for several breaths, Chu Zhu coughed a few times. Immediately, Hu Kaikang, who had received his prompting, threw something at Huo Qiming according to the instructions Chu Zhu had initially set.

Huo Qiming frowned and instinctively caught it. But when he saw what he held in his hand, his expression froze—it was the mask he had worn when he was fighting for justice in the shantytown redevelopment area…

"Then, not as 'Captain Huo'! But simply as 'The Masked Hero' to help me... is that alright?" Chu Zhu's voice was as calm as ever.

Huo Qiming's pupils dilated violently, his lips moved, but in the end, he closed his eyes tightly in silence.

"Hmm!" Chu Zhu didn't continue to persuade him. More accurately, he had already achieved his goal... Huo Qiming was now wavering and determined to remain neutral from now on.

According to his previous plan, if he pushes things forward step by step... the chances of him defecting are not low!

This is not something that can be accomplished overnight!

While organizing her thoughts, Chu Zhu shifted her focus: "Captain Yang!"

"Ah... I'm here!" Captain Yang silently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his thoughts in turmoil. If Chu Zhu tried to recruit him, then what would he do...? But, but the other side was bound to lose...

"Don't follow the Great Qian!" Chu Zhu's words were completely unwavering. "The Emperor has already issued an edict that the Donglin Army will soon enter the shantytown redevelopment area—to massacre the city!"

Captain Yang's pupils dilated sharply, and he almost cried out, "This is impossible..."

"You can let Old Huo verify it!" Chu Zhu said calmly. The order to massacre the city was definitely not given openly, but... letting the legion into the city was essentially carrying out this order! Chu Zhu was just tearing down the unspoken rules and putting them out in the open.

Huo Qiming's body trembled slightly. After taking several deep breaths, he opened his eyes and looked at Chu Zhu intently.

“Li Kang is dead!” Chu Zhu spoke again: “Isn’t it strange why he died? Actually, there’s no reason… Hmm, you should know… Hong Gan from the Second Special Prison, right?”

“…Yes.” Captain Yang said dryly. He actually knew that Captain Li had been imprisoned.

After all, while the special prison was unique, it still connected to the police superintendent's office. Strictly speaking... as the second district captain, he had jurisdiction there! Although, strictly speaking... precisely because of this, he naturally had the right to know that the third district captain had been arrested and brought to his jurisdiction...

But that was all! This was the first time he had ever learned that Captain Li was dead! Wasn't it just a matter of being detained?

That doesn't make sense... He's the captain of a major region, theoretically on par with him! Even if the third region isn't theoretically valued, in terms of professional title ranking... they're at the same level!
Chu Zhu's finger slid across the light screen, directly controlling Nuwa No. 17 to play the audio he had obtained while rescuing Bi Xuan and interrogating Hong Gan—of course, with a little editing...

"...Can't we arrest someone if they haven't committed a crime? I can arrest someone whenever I want!"

"This is an order from a very important person..."

"In the future, I'll definitely be forced into the forbidden zone... But before that, I'll obtain some blood and seize some cultivation resources... This is what everyone is doing..."

"..."

Captain Yang: "..."

"You treat Captain Li like this... but what about you?" Chu Zhu retorted. Rather than openly recruiting and forcing someone to choose Chu Zhu's side out of past favors or the sake of the shantytown redevelopment area... it's better to tell him that he never really had a choice from the start!
Chu Zhu didn't continue... but anyone with a brain could figure it out...

Yes, perhaps Captain Li was arrested because of Chu Zhu... but what crime did Chu Zhu commit? Just because she thwarted the Emperor's conspiracy?
Okay... that's indeed unforgivable! But Captain Yang was also involved in thwarting the emperor's conspiracy...

Li Kang has already died because of the other party's slow, insidious methods. So who will be next...?

Captain Yang remained silent, but he was drenched in sweat.

"...Alright!" Huo Qiming suddenly shouted.

Chu Zhu raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised that Huo Qiming was the first to lose his composure. He said slowly, "Of course, no problem! Old Huo, I can even say some things you want to hear..."

"For example, the emperor is extremely fond of the people, he is worthy of the people of the world, and he also cherishes his loyal ministers..."

"...I'm begging you." Huo Qiming's face was contorted, and his voice was slightly hoarse.

He struggled for a moment, then finally, little by little, put on the mask. "..." Chu Zhu sighed, "Okay."

……

Outside of the three district police superintendents' offices.

"Hasn't he come out yet?" Eunuch Huang was quite annoyed.

Vice President Xin gripped the sword hilt tightly, his face calm and serene, remaining silent.

Xu Xun remained outwardly calm, but his mind was in turmoil. He could still hear in his ears the words the eleventh apostle had spoken to him before his hasty departure—

"Mr. Zhu from the shantytown redevelopment area is suspected to be the Holy Son of the Trinity! However, after struggling in the mortal world, he was ultimately blinded, and even with the apparent use of omniscience to know part of the mission, he still stubbornly refuses to let the Lord return! He is ruining the Lord's plan."

"You should try your best to avoid contact with the Holy Son! However, if the Holy Son encounters a life-threatening crisis... if possible, spare his life..."

Thinking about the inescapable trap set by the imperial court, Xu Xun felt a cold sweat break out... The Apostle, releasing people without openly betraying them... This was truly beyond his capabilities...

Suddenly, the phone rang. He glanced at it, a hint of guilt in his eyes, hesitated for a few breaths, then answered. A mocking smile played on his lips, his voice radiating an air of complete confidence: "Little grandson, what brings you to call me? Hmph, everything's going perfectly here..."

"Shut up! Something's happened! Something terrible has happened!" Inspector Sun's voice was tinged with madness, and the sounds of bullets and artillery fire could be heard intermittently: "Damn beasts... why, why did they attack in broad daylight!"

"Aaaaaah! I'm going crazy... Why didn't they attack me alone in a secluded spot?! Aaaaah! Even if I'm trying to escape, I can only use 'kung fu' that's beyond what ordinary people can imagine..."

"Hahahaha, almost there... Wait until I run out! When no one's around... I'll destroy you all, kill you all, wipe you out!!!"

Eunuch Huang: "???"

He listened stiffly to the other person's intermittent explanation... In fact, after only half of the explanation, the other end suddenly went dead... Excluding the possibility that the other party hung up, it was most likely that the phone had been damaged?

“…Impossible! Absolutely impossible…That, that bamboo! How could he…” Eunuch Huang stammered. He was actually very reluctant to admit that the murderer was that person…but the key point was that this was something that Supervisor Sun was absolutely certain of.

"What should we do?" Xu Xun asked solemnly. As the node connecting the Emperor and the All-Powerful being, he was, in a sense, an imperial envoy. Therefore, he was naturally the only one present who could communicate on equal terms with Eunuch Huang, who upheld the Emperor's will!
Of course, at this moment, Xu Xun felt a strange sense of pride—truly worthy of being the Holy Son of their omnipotent lineage! He had somehow managed to wipe out three legions…

Amazing! Incredibly powerful! Sigh, why can't the Holy Son fully cooperate with them... With the abilities the Holy Son has displayed, coupled with the foundation of their omnipotent lineage... wouldn't Jinghai, and even the entire Jiangnan region... easily occupy the mortal realm with this kind of mortal martial power? Xu Xun began to daydream.

"...Charge in! Catch that bastard!" Eunuch Huang gritted his teeth; he had completely lost his composure... He and Supervisor Sun were, in a way, in the same boat.

Sun Jianjun has made a huge blunder. If he can't resolve this perfectly... then he'll inevitably be dragged down with that bastard surnamed Sun! At that point...

The thought of the possible consequences sent a chill down Huang's spine. He had worked so hard to climb to this position... If he were punished by the emperor, or even lose his favor—what difference would that make from death?!

……

Chu Zhu held the little mushroom-headed boy, waiting quietly... He watched as Eunuch Huang and his men charged over. Upon seeing the little mushroom-headed boy, they too showed fear, just as before. Many mistakenly believed he was actually the founding emperor... But even so, they remained determined to capture him...

Regarding this…

"Let's do it," Chu Zhu said gently.

"?" Vice President Xin, who walked up to Chu Zhu, was stunned for a moment.

The next moment, his expression changed drastically, and endless light shone down upon him.

Almost instinctively, Vice President Xin turned around, drew his sword, and his whole body flashed with terrifying divine light, forcibly blocking all the divine light shooting towards him, preventing it from passing him... completely protecting Chu Zhu.

Chu Zhu: "...?"

Chu Zhu almost lost her composure after realizing what had happened.
