My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 37 Situation

"This, that, how..." Finally, someone spoke, stammering. This immediately startled the others.

"The Director-General, the Director-General actually..."

"Why did this happen? Who is the murderer?!"

"Mr. Zhu, you...you knew all along?"

Based on Chu Zhu's previous unusual behavior, some people have speculated that Chu Zhu is an insider. In fact, if it weren't for Chu Zhu's special status, he should be the prime suspect based on his previous actions alone.

In response, Chu Zhu simply lowered her eyes and sighed, "Let's call the police."

Then, Chu Zhu turned and left.

……

Police Inspectorate.

Chu Zhu walked back into the base, sat down in a chair, and stared at the silver-white wall for a long time.

"I was careless!" Chu Zhu finally murmured. He had originally intended to skip a level, but instead, it led to an even worse outcome.

Even setting aside Chu Zhu's relationship with the deceased general manager and other staff members... this incident is tantamount to severely undermining the stability of the union.

What will a violent organization, devoid of rational thought and encompassing the entire shantytown redevelopment area, do next? There's almost no doubt about it. Just look at their brutal words towards Guan Fei—that's enough to draw that conclusion…

They will only vent their frustrations and seek revenge irrationally, and then... they will clash with the authorities, whom they should not be hostile to for the time being! In the end, they will be completely wiped out.

"The only solution right now is for me to step in and take over the position of Director-General again! Then, we'll promote another group of people and gradually hand over the reins to stabilize the situation." Chu Zhu narrowed his eyes.

However, Chu Zhu now realized that the mastermind behind it all must have figured this out as well. It was even highly likely that the mastermind had killed these agents precisely for this reason—

From this perspective, if he takes charge from here on out, then the mastermind's next assassination target will inevitably be him!
"Then let me see how many lives you can take from me!" Chu Zhu laughed, but there was no warmth in his smile. "Nuwa No. 17, continue playing 'The Three-Body Problem 3,' continue at the previous pace."

"By the way, don't let it affect the broadcast. Work backstage—integrate the videos from the area near the shantytown redevelopment zone and extract the key information... Take the person who was wrapped up tightly and sneaked into the entrance, captured by the cameras in the wealthy area 500 meters to the left of Area 17 of the shantytown redevelopment zone, and the person dressed suspiciously, captured by the cameras in the entrance of the fourth district government office in Jinghai City, Area 19 of the shantytown redevelopment zone, and all of them..."

Chu Zhu skillfully recited the information about the suspicious individuals detected by Nuwa No. 17 in the previous timeline, allowing Nuwa No. 17 to directly lock onto, retrieve, and search for them...

Time passes bit by bit.

Seven-fifteen.

The giant screen turned silver-white. Chu Zhu knew that Li Kang had come looking for her, but she showed no emotion and continued, "Ignore him, keep playing!"

Then, the screen, which had been off, lit up again.

After a few breaths.

“Um…” Li Kang, with a serious expression and an uneasy and anxious heart, froze as soon as he entered the underground temple base.

The deafening sound of the exchange filled my ears.

In the vast underground temple base hall, the surrounding walls were no longer silver, but formed a holographic film screen!

Yes, up, down, left, right, front, and back—all the silver walls reflected the film's scenes at this moment. Being there felt like being on a film set…or rather, stepping into the movie and witnessing it all firsthand…

The sheer awe and wonder of this experience is unimaginable without firsthand observation! The scene then shifts to the future Swordholder, holding his child, gazing at the distant sun with a radiant and gentle smile: "Because he knows that the sun will rise again!"

"..."

Where did he come from? Is this still the underground temple base?!

"Ah, Ah Zhu, you! You!" Li Kang choked, and after a long while, he finally managed to say, "What are you doing?"

Although Li Kang himself realized the moment he said it that he had asked a very stupid question.

"Watching a movie!" Chu Zhu said calmly. Seeing the end credits of "The Three-Body Problem 3" start playing, she continued, "What are you waiting for? Nuwa Seventeen, continue playing 'The Three-Body Problem 4'!"

"Roger that!"

The screen changed again.

"Skip the opening theme! Get straight to the story."

“Received.” Nuwa No. 17 complied.

Li Kang: "!!!"

To be honest, Li Kang initially thought he had asked a pointless question, but he never expected Chu Zhu to give such a shocking answer. This is a movie… Are you kidding me?! Do you think he's never seen a movie before?!

Okay, it really does seem to be a movie! Li Kang touched the wall in disbelief, only then confirming that it seemed, it really was… Chu Zhu wasn't wrong? It's just that this movie is a bit beyond imagination…

But the key issue is...

"You, how could you, how could you..." Li Kang didn't dare to continue. He really wanted to ask a bold question: What did you do to God last night? How come, just one day later, he felt like he had traveled through time?
What have you done to the great gods he revered?!
"Oh, right, Nuwa No. 17, draw a small square over the area in front of Li Kang! Display all the information I had you collect before on it, so he can search for it and then capture people," Chu Zhuping said calmly.

Then, he fluently repeated what he had said to Li Kang in the previous timeline—to tell him to go and investigate and see if he could catch the murderer.

Li Kang: "..."

Li Kang's mind was in complete disarray; he didn't even know how he had managed to escape the underground temple base.

"Am I dreaming?" Li Kang looked at the sun in the sky and said, questioning his own existence.

After taking a couple more steps, Li Kang suddenly realized, "Wait a minute, I'm looking for him, shouldn't I be asking him why he was at the crime scene and became the first person to discover it? And why he left so quickly, did nothing, and went back to the base..."

Li Kang turned his head stiffly, thought for a moment, but still didn't dare to enter the underground base again. Dejected, he prepared to complete what Chu Zhu had previously instructed him to do.

……

Underground temple base.

"Tsk tsk! Look at Uncle Li's expression... It seems that he didn't expect or fear at all that my ability to communicate with Nuwa No. 17 could cause political turmoil after the news spread!" Chu Zhu pondered as he continued reading "The Three-Body Problem 4".

That's perfectly normal! Chu Zhu could understand it perfectly well. After all, the shock that what she was doing now was bringing to Li Kang was completely different from last time.

Last time, he only showed that he could communicate with Nuwa No. 17, but now, he even showed a hint of dominating Nuwa No. 17.
