Void Jigsaw Puzzle

After hearing what Reyue said, the four people in the car relaxed their vigilance.

Guo Ling smiled and said, "Lord Reyue, long time no see. You seem to be becoming more and more heroic!"

Zhu Tong also shouted excitedly in the back seat: "Auntie Reyue! Auntie Reyue! That's great!"

Reyue ignored Guo Ling's flattery and did not notice Zhu Tong in the back seat.

She led the others behind her out of the way and made a gesture of invitation: "It's quite cold on the road. Please park your car at the entrance of the City God Temple. We'll meet inside the temple and talk in detail. Captain Zhong will be waiting for you there."

Guo Ling was stunned: "What? This guy actually arrived before us? And he didn't even tell us! He made us feel so nervous all the way..."

He angrily stepped on the accelerator, and the car suddenly rushed forward with a sense of frustration.

The window was still open.

Fan Ting protested from the back seat: "Driver, can you drive safely and comfortably?"

"You can't have both safety and comfort." Guo Ling replied unhappily.

"Who said that? Didn't you use condoms when you had sex with your wife? The ultra-thin ones?" Fan Ting said.

"..."

If it weren't for the seat belt, Old Man Liu would have fallen on the center console.

Zhu Tong blinked and asked, "Sister Fan, what are you talking about?"

"Be good, little boy, your sister is driving."

"But isn't it Uncle Guo Ling who's driving?"

"..."

Sure enough, after driving for a few minutes from where Reyue had greeted them, they arrived in front of the City God Temple.

Only after coming here did it regain some popularity.

There are already more than a dozen cars parked on the side of the road.

Guo Ling felt as if yesterday was happening again.

The second time he met Zhong Chenmu was also the first time he went to explore the source of a big river, and the night he encountered Fan Ting committing suicide also started with such a scene.

As soon as the four got off the car, they saw a tall young man walking towards the woods in the direction of the entrance to the City God Temple. Although he was wearing a thick coat, he still did not look bloated and was still slender and well-proportioned.

The boy grinned in the dim light, revealing his white teeth.

It was none other than Zhong Chenmu.

Guo Ling cursed from afar, "You kid, you actually left us behind and came here first! And how could you possibly be faster than us?"

"Hehe, thanks to Mr. Liang, I got a ride on his motorcycle. It was so cool, but the wind almost froze me..."

"Master Liang is here too?"

"No, he sent someone to bring me here. It was a bit cold along the way, but at least it was better than you guys. You were stuck in traffic for half an hour in Sanduping."

"You're bringing up all sorts of issues! How heartless!"

Guo Ling rushed to Zhong Chenmu and punched him in the shoulder.

"Isn't this a little surprise for you?"

"This is a shock!"

The other three followed Guo Ling and greeted Zhong Chenmu. Zhong Chenmu even went forward to ruffle Zhu Tong's hair. The five of them walked into the City God Temple together.

Zhu Tong observed everything around him curiously, his eyes full of excitement.

This was the first time in her life that she had been so close to such a natural and pristine place. The woods nearby were wilder and more untamed than those in the city, not to mention the magnificent City God Temple in front.

The style is completely different from the buildings in the city.

If she were left alone in a place like this, she would probably tremble with fear, but now, with her four guardians around, she felt extremely safe.

And warmth.

As for Zhong Chenmu, he was filled with emotion at this moment.

When he first came here, he was still a young boy who knew nothing, but now, he feels a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

However, the soil under my feet is still as soft as before.

The five of them walked into the gate of the City God Temple together, walked around the screen wall at the entrance, passed through the large open area in the middle, and went straight into the main hall facing the screen wall.

The last time he came, he and Guo Ling stayed outside for half the night and then went out to explore the source of a river. Just now, in order to wait for his team members to arrive, he had been standing at the door and did not enter the main hall and side halls of the City God Temple.

Now come in, and you will find that there is another world inside.

Most importantly, the layout inside is very modern, with comfortable sofas and chairs, bright ceiling lights, air conditioning, TV and refrigerator, which are completely different from the antique objects I read about in books.

Of course, for him, there is not much difference between modernization and antiquity. Anything that existed before the "singularity moment" is in his memory. If it cannot be reunited and interacted with in reality, it will be like a painting hanging on the wall and will not change.

There were already quite a few people gathered in the main hall, all of them were members of the Thermidor team. To Zhong Chenmu and his four team members, they were all strangers to each other.

But they will soon become the most familiar teammates.

Zhong Chenmu didn't have much obsession with being a leader or leading a team. When Pierce asked him to be the captain of the advance team, he was actually a commander without troops at the beginning, and it was just a title. He was also happy with it. Later, after absorbing Guo Ling, Fan Ting, Old Man Liu and Zhu Tong, he felt that a team of five was already good, and he never went around recruiting new people like the Twelve Apostles.

As long as it is beneficial to the overall situation, he is happy to cooperate, provided that it does not touch the principles and bottom line in his heart.

So when Pierce proposed that he be reincorporated into the Twelve Apostles, he didn't resist much.

At this moment, looking at the crowds of people in front of him, he felt a sense of luck.

"If I, as the captain, were to face so many people at once, I'd probably be so nervous I'd be at a loss..."

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard footsteps behind me.

Someone in the crowd shouted, "Captain Thermidor is back!"

Zhong Chenmu turned his head and saw Reyue and a few others walking in from outside, looking exhausted.

The exquisite face and the agile posture add a touch of heroic spirit to this outfit.

The people in the main hall gradually quieted down and looked towards the door.

Zhong Chenmu secretly gave Reyue a thumbs up in his heart.

He was able to be intimidating without being angry, and without saying a word, he could make the entire team enter a very tacit listening state. This could not be achieved simply by looks and figure, nor by intimidation or inducement.

This shows that Thermidor is a good leader.

Although she had teased herself when she was in Leyou Pavilion, it was considered mild compared to the others.

The others, especially Huo Yue, were not just teasing, they were directly teasing.

"I made the right choice by following Thermidor..."

Just as he was immersed in his own thoughts, he suddenly heard a pleasant voice coming from him.

"Everyone, as I told you earlier today, we will soon begin the implementation of the 'Reunification' plan. From now on, Zhong Chenmu will be the captain of the Thermidor team..."
