My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 79 I've been a member of the Omnipotent Society for a long time
"Mr. Zhu, you spoke so eloquently about that so-called shadow magic, so you must have seen or understood just how powerful his shadow magic really is, right?"

Zhang Hai pursed his slightly dry lips. "Imagine if you could use that kind of shadow magic..."

"So, you're planning to use this to lure me into joining the God Worshipping Society?" Chu Zhu retorted.

"No, no, no, you have no idea how special the status and position of cultivators who forge spiritual artifacts are!" Zhang Hai said solemnly. "Among cultivators of the same level, only the alchemists of the Agricultural Medicine Sect can compare with them!"

“Even if the God Worshippers wanted to hire a weapon refiner, they would have to pay a considerable sum in favor! So it’s not that I’m forcing you, but rather…”

"Wait!" Chu Zhu gestured for a pause, realizing something. "Judging from your tone, does that mean that turning cultivators into weapons... is something only a righteous sect can do?"

“…Otherwise what?” Zhang Hai asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Let me guess!" Chu Zhu's expression grew increasingly strange. "Hmm, among all the orthodox sects, which one is related to weapon forging... the Mo Sect?"

"To be precise, it's the Mechanical Mohist School," Zhang Hai corrected. "The Mohist School is what mortals in mortal society call it! In the realm of the extraordinary, those two words must be added... That's common sense, my friend!"

Chu Zhu did not reply, and fell into deep thought.

The Mohist sect in the dream world is actually quite remarkable... The current steam industry in the dream world was created and promoted by the Mohist sect.

At the same time, Chu Zhu has a special nickname for the Mo family – Brother Tu Mu!

Besides being skilled in industry, the Mo Sect is also adept at smuggling... for example, road construction, building construction, and mineral exploration—these are basically the jobs they do...

Because Chu Zhu was Mr. Zhu in the shantytown redevelopment area, his name for the Mo Sect spread, leading the entire shantytown redevelopment area to call the followers and official members of the Mo Sect "Brother Tu Mu".

"Let me think. Is the person you're looking for Mo Ban? Mo Wen? Or Mo Kai?" Chu Zhu thought for a moment and then directly uttered three names.

Zhang Hai: "...?"

Zhang Hai frowned, realizing something was wrong. He asked with difficulty, "You...know them?"

"I wouldn't say that!" Chu Zhu said calmly. "My relationship with them is at most the same as my relationship with you..."

Is it ripe? Yes, it is!
Zhang Hai: "..."

My God, doesn't that mean they're completely under your control?
Zhang Hai felt a chill run down his spine as he recalled everything Chu Zhu had gone through these past few days…

Given his situation... you know, you think he'd actually believe you could use your weird and wonderful methods to trick the other side into bringing their own food and helping you forge a magical artifact?

Wow! My perfect recruitment plan!
God, why, why did it end up like this...?

"Alright, let's stop talking about this." Chu Zhu looked at Zhang Hai's dejected face and asked again, "Actually, I'm more curious about something... You're talking about forging spiritual weapons? Then what's the deal with forbidden weapons?"

This is so strange... Using forbidden artifacts comes at a price, but using spiritual artifacts does not.

If spiritual artifacts can be reliably forged, why not forge them all? What is the purpose of forbidden artifacts...?

“Forbidden artifacts…” Zhang Hai paused for a moment before finally saying, “I don’t really understand this either! But if cultivators are used to forge weapons, it is indeed more likely that forbidden artifacts will be forged in the end? Perhaps only those members of the Mo Sect know the specifics.”

Chu Zhu felt relieved, then glanced at the murderer again, "You should wake this guy up first!"

Then, Chu Zhu saw Zhang Hai once again excitedly unleash his series of slaps.

After a few breaths.

"..." The assassin silently opened his eyes, staring at Chu Zhu without uttering a word. However, under Zhang Hai's attack, the mask on the assassin's face, just like Xue Laosan's before... successfully developed two more cracks!

"Why did you kill me? Why did you kill the guild leaders!" Chu Zhu said softly. There was no murderous intent or killing intent in his words; in fact, there was a hint of ease in them, as if he were discussing where to go for fun.

However, Zhang Hai, who knew the inside story, understood that Chu Zhu was not as calm as she appeared on the surface.

At this moment, Zhang Hai had one foot firmly planted on the assassin's neck, his divine sense flickering slightly in front of his forehead. He was preparing for the worst-case scenario: the assassin might have a backup plan and be able to suddenly break free of his restraints, thus attacking Chu Zhu.

The assassin remained silent.

Chu Zhu stepped forward and stomped on the assassin's hand, gently crushing his finger bones, but the assassin remained silent.

"I see, you took the pain-relieving powder?" Chu Zhu's eyes revealed understanding, seemingly asking a question, but her words were actually quite certain. If it were simply about enduring the pain, after suffering torment, the body would inevitably convulse from the intense pain... instead of showing no reaction at all like this!

Pain-Free Powder is a special medicine produced by the Five Poisons Society. Once ingested, it can eliminate all bodily pain! However, this substance has a terrifying addictive property…

Of course, even excluding the Y sex, simply eliminating pain is not a good thing either—pain is certainly hard to endure, but losing pain can even be said to render a person useless!
A person who has lost the ability to feel pain has also lost the ability to perceive the lesions in their own body.

Generally speaking, these kinds of people tend to die relatively young...

Of course, this is the situation Chu Zhu knows about ordinary people taking the pain-free powder. There might be some differences for extraordinary people.

"I'm curious, did Li Xiong send you to kill me?" Chu Zhu asked.

Zhang Hai could clearly see a ripple in the assassin's pupils, but he remained silent. At the same time, Zhang Hai's heart was also in turmoil... Was this the real name of that Mr. Eleven?

“Actually, I’ve been a member of the Almighty Order for a long time!” Chu Zhu changed his mind again, drew an inverted cross on his chest, and said solemnly, “My life goal is to let the Lord’s glory shine on the earth again and become the Lord’s shepherd on the earth.”

Zhang Hai: "..."

No, is it appropriate for you to say that in front of him?!
“You believe in the Lord, Lord Eleven believes in the Lord, and you believe in the Lord too! Aren’t we all in this together?” Chu Zhu spoke sincerely, “Why did you want to kill me?”

Still no answer.

"Actually, my establishment of the trade union in the shantytown redevelopment area was at the behest of the Fourth Lord, Lord Su. This involves a key plan for the Lord's glory to shine upon the earth! Do you know that your actions have disrupted this key plan? Do you know how much effort I need to expend to make up for it?" Chu Zhu's face suddenly turned icy as she posed this soul-searching question.

Zhang Hai: "?"

To be honest, Zhang Hai didn't know if the assassin had been convinced, but he was now genuinely starting to believe it and was starting to panic.

You're not really part of the Omnipotent Society's scheme, are you? That can't be... right?

However, if that's the case, Chu Zhu's familiarity with the Omnipotent Society seems to be explained...

However, no matter how Chu Zhu described it, the assassin remained indifferent.

Those cold eyes, apart from showing any ripple when they heard the word "eleven," remained indifferent and even slightly sarcastic no matter what Chu Zhu said afterward.

"...Alright!" Chu Zhu sat back down on the sofa, quietly staring at the assassin. To be honest, this was the first time he'd encountered a tough opponent!

No matter what methods he has, if the other side is clearly not cooperating, there's nothing he can do!

Most importantly, he didn't recognize the person in front of him at all! It's highly likely this person wasn't a local of Jinghai City…

"Eleven, the All-Round Guild..." Chu Zhu was somewhat worried. Putting everything else aside, after exchanging a few words, he was at least certain that the assassin was not acting out of personal desire or selfishness in attacking the guild or him.

It's just personal desire; they wouldn't be so stubborn! For example, if it's about revenge, if they get caught, they'll just forcefully mock and taunt, instead of remaining silent.

In that case, even if the assassin is dealt with here, it doesn't mean the matter is over. On the contrary, it may lead to an even more terrifying counterattack afterward.

Perhaps, we really will have to face off against Eleven... that madman!
Even though Chu Zhu knew a certain amount about the person, the thought of them still gave her a headache. Chu Zhu wasn't confident that she could persuade them to turn from enemy to friend when facing them directly!
Of course, even if you do manage to turn Eleven into a teammate, it doesn't mean you're safe. After all, these apostles of the Omnipotent Order are all about sacrificing allies at the start!

At least the enemy knows they died because of hostility, but your allies die without even knowing why...

Even now, recalling her experiences with the apostles, Chu Zhu couldn't help but sigh—following Eleven and the other apostles was truly like playing a game of supernatural fiction!
The confusion of life, the randomness of death!
"That's enough!" Chu Zhu looked at Zhang Hai and said calmly, "Knock him out!"

Zhang Hai made a decision immediately. Then, after a slight hesitation, he looked at Chu Zhu carefully and made up his mind.

"Mr. Zhu." Zhang Hai stood up and clapped his hands. "The matter is resolved, the murderer has been caught, so I should head back now!"

“Let me add one more thing,” Zhang Hai emphasized, “Even if more members of the Omnipotent Society try to kill you, don’t expect me to protect you 24/7.”

Zhang Hai snorted twice. "After all, my arrest of this murderer is enough to prove the innocence of the God Worshipping Society. Of course, if you really want to be unscrupulous and insist on framing someone, then the God Worshipping Society isn't made of clay!"

"I understand." Chu Zhu nodded slightly; this was exactly what he had expected.

“Of course,” Zhang Hai suddenly changed the subject, “if you would like…”

"That's enough!" Chu Zhu interrupted Zhang Hai's recruitment attempt for the umpteenth time. He got up and headed for the restroom. "I'm quite busy today. After all, I still need to take the civil service exam later!"
