Void Jigsaw Puzzle

The first core member meeting after Pu Yue joined the Jigsaw Team ended successfully.

She was fully aware of her mission.

Guo Ling followed Zhong Chenmu to his office and closed the door.

Before Zhong Chenmu even sat down, Guo Ling said, "I came back this time to leave immediately. To put it simply, I actually don't have any news about Hongchen. On Taibai Star, after I switched to a virtual state, I sent her countless messages, but all fell on deaf ears. However, I soon received a message from a stranger who directed me to Kunlun City on Xumi Star..."

He told Zhong Chenmu all his experiences in one breath.

At this time, Zhong Chenmu sat down and asked Guo Ling to sit down as well.

"Brother Guo, your experience is truly...amazing."

He was not only surprised that Guo Ling had unconsciously "shaped" the physical form of Qingchen based on his wife's appearance, but he was also surprised that Hou Chang had become someone else's sister-in-law. After all, the last time he met her in Kunlun City, she had said that she had the impression that she had a husband, but he had never appeared in her real life.

"No, it's more than that. Now that I think about it, the message directing me to Kunlun City must have come from the Turtle Clan. They seem a little wary of us and don't want to confront us head-on, perhaps because you wiped them out in Wuming City."

"Hmm..." Zhong Chenmu nodded slightly. "They certainly didn't show very strong abilities in Wuming City. At least, compared to the rumors about the Hydrogen Clan, they were much weaker. Now it seems that there is some truth to that. Perhaps, because of our physical form, they are unable to exert their maximum destructive power. And virtual races like the Hydrogen Clan, who only rely on order, rules, and authority to operate, are more vulnerable to their destruction. But why did they guide you to Xumi Star?"

"That's exactly what I was saying. Our communications on Taibai Star were definitely being monitored. We've exchanged this information on Taibai Star before, and you've been there before. Therefore, it's best to discuss our strategy in Wuming City. After entering Taibai Star, we should try to avoid any communication."

Zhong Chenmu suddenly realized: "That makes sense... We were too careless before..."

At this moment, Guo Ling suddenly hesitated and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Zhong Chenmu had already guessed what was going on, based on what Guo Ling had just told him. However, he still hoped Guo Ling would speak for himself, so he asked, "Brother Guo, is there anything else you want to say?"

Guo Ling looked at the young man in front of him, gritted his teeth and said, "It's a bit difficult to say... However, since I learned in Kunlun City that Hou Chang might be in trouble, I can't stand by and watch. What's more, I can't accept her becoming someone else's wife. Even if we get divorced, even if we separate, I at least have the right to know!"

"Brother Guo, actually, up to now, everything is just our speculation. Even whether Hou Chang is really your wife has not been confirmed. The universe is so big that anything can happen." Zhong Chenmu knew what Guo Ling was going to say next, so he added fuel to the fire.

As expected, Guo Ling blushed. "Xiao Zhong, I want to go back and find Hou Chang to figure everything out. How about I leave the task of finding those bastards like Qingchen to you and Fan Ting?"

Zhong Chenmu then smiled and said, "Brother Guo, although I am still single, I understand your feelings. Go quickly."

"But are the two of you enough? Do you want to let Old Man Liu also comprehend the 'dual nature of reality and illusion' so that you can have another person?"

"No, I've talked to him about it, and he's not interested. Besides, he thinks the house can't be run entirely by women. He needs someone to provide a male perspective."

"..."

Guo Ling thought to himself, "This old man must have been unable to walk after seeing the Twelve Apostles..."

Zhong Chenmu seemed to see through Guo Ling's thoughts: "Actually, he does have something very important to do. The last time I went to Kunlun City, I learned that they have an organization called 'government'. I've also read in books that this organization is helpful in integrating social resources and achieving common social welfare. Wuming City is just too loose, so I asked him to explore the creation of such an organization in Wuming City based on his experience..."

At this point, Zhong Chenmu suppressed the smile on his face. "...Moreover, our ultimate goal is to complete civilization and each of our incomplete people. Kunlun City or Wuming City must all have the same origin. We must establish a linkage mechanism with them as soon as possible. In this way, a 'government' organization will be very necessary, and it will also help us achieve faster and better integration when we encounter more civilizations of the same origin in the future...As for the completion of each incomplete person, Brother Guo, if you can really find Hou Chang in Kunlun City this time, and she is indeed your wife, it will also happen to be the first precedent for our incomplete people. Don't you think it is of great significance?"

Guo Ling stared blankly at the young man in front of him.

He didn't expect that Zhong Chenmu had considered it so thoroughly and profoundly.

"Is he really just an 18-year-old boy..."

Looking at Guo Ling's dazed expression, Zhong Chenmu changed his tone to a teasing one: "Okay, Brother Guo, go quickly. Look, I've even thought of a reason for you."

"..."
