From the end of the world

Chapter 164 Breakthrough Plan 2
Whether I have hostility towards Lu Youxun is very important to him. As you can imagine, once I have hostility in my heart, even if it is just a tiny bit that I can hardly detect, it will be a disaster for Lu Youxun who has lost his fighting power.

Even I have to carefully consider, weigh and re-examine, and question my own heart.

Finally, I gave the answer.

"No."

Lu Youxun asked in surprise: "Why?"

"I don't want to be bound by positions, and I don't care what position you are in. I only care about you as a person. So far, you haven't done anything bad to me, and you have even helped me. I can't regard you as an enemy." I said frankly, "Of course, if you do anything to the people around me, I will definitely not let you go, but that's another matter.

"I admit that I do have secrets that I don't want you to know, but you feel the same way, right? The forces behind you are eyeing Ma Zao for an unknown purpose that has nothing to do with amnesia. And you are the one closest to their target. Have they really not given you any instructions? Don't tell me 'no', I won't believe it."

Now it was Lu Youxun's turn to be stumped by my question.

"This one……"

"If you dare to attack Ma Zao, I will kill you," I said.

Ma Zao looked at me silently.

Zhu Shi seemed to have heard some information from her grandfather. She did not show any surprise, but asked calmly: "Zhuang Cheng, although I support you, do you really have no hostility towards Lu Chan?"

"I won't judge him as a friend or foe based on something he hasn't done." I said, "At least before that, he is still on the same side as us. And I think it's a convention to have such a suspicious person among the friendly forces..."

"The last sentence is what you really think," Zhu Shi complained.

Lu Youxun sighed first, then raised his hands in surrender and said, "Okay, I understand... I will cooperate with your idea."

In other words, he was ready to trust me and risk his life.

This is certainly not just out of trust in me, the will for revenge against the Humanitarian Department is the most important.

"But didn't you fail last time when you tried to connect to Zhuang Cheng's spirit?" Zhu Shi questioned.

"That was because I was frightened by his spiritual form and that's why it was interrupted. As long as he is willing to accept my spell, I can connect normally."

Lu Youxun answered, and then said to me: "But I still have a question. As I said before, using divination to see the secret base of the Humanitarian Department requires a lot of luck, even for me. Normally, it will fail. I may need to try for several days in a row, or even more than ten days. If I'm unlucky, I won't be able to succeed even after dozens of days..."

"I understand. What comes next is the important part."

I didn't look at Ma Zao beside me, but looked directly at Lu Youxun and said, "Suppose, I mean suppose... I am in a very strong and special 'luck' that specifically attracts strange events to me. This 'luck' can push me to easily chase strange things, as well as the people and forces related to them... Do you think this will help you do what you are going to do next?"

"Is this also one of your secrets?" Lu Youxun glanced at me thoughtfully. "Assuming that such an unreasonable misfortune really exists in your life, and you can really use my illusion as a clue to teleport yourself to the secret base of the Humanitarian Department... then my part may really succeed today."

"The Humanitarian Department should have more than one secret base in the country. I wonder if my brother is in the secret base that Lu Chan saw in his vision." Zhu Shi thought.

"You can be optimistic about this matter." Lu Youxun said, "What I saw in my vision was most likely the secret base that Ying Lingyun was in charge of within the Humanitarian Department. If Ying Lingyun was the one behind Chen Long's abduction of Zhu Changan, then Zhu Changan was most likely taken to that place."

As he spoke, he stood up and walked out of the reception room, saying, "I'm going to prepare for divination first, and write a report to my superiors to request support."

"Support?" Zhu Shi asked.

"This time we can probably lock down the location of the Humanitarian Department's secret base, so we must prepare for a surprise attack in advance. The enemy's expected combat strength is at least one Dacheng-level warrior, so we can't rely entirely on Zhuang Cheng alone. I'm going to ask my superiors for the support of Wuchang, who is at Dacheng-level." Lu Youxun said.

Not only Zhu Shi, but even I couldn't help but be surprised by his courage.

He actually wanted to launch the action based on the premise of successfully tracking the target. The Great Perfection Wuchang should not be a combat force that can be mobilized at will. It seems that he is not only betting his life, but also his credibility within Luoshan.

"Who do you want to invite?" Zhu Shi asked.

"God's gun."

After saying this, Lu Youxun walked out of the reception room.

Zhu Shi showed a very solemn expression. Shen Qiang... I have heard of this name before. It seems that he was a teammate who once formed a team with Lu Youxun and Chen Long, but later left due to differences in ideas.

Is that actually an impermanence at the Great Accomplishment level?

It is also true that in the past, Lu Youxun was even able to summon his "self at the Great Perfection level" and a large number of other "possible clones" with various abilities under the strengthening of Chen Long. If the other person was just an ordinary Perfection level Impermanence, then it would be useless to Lu Youxun and Chen Long.

But judging from Zhu Shi’s expression, that magic spear seemed to be more than just a great perfection-level impermanence weapon.

"Zhuang Cheng, you have to be careful with that magic gun." Zhu Shi suddenly reminded.

"What's wrong with the sniper?" I asked.

"I just heard it from others. I heard that the God Gun has a very bad personality, is arrogant and self-willed, is a violent person, and is also an extreme transcendentalist." She said, "The reason why Lu Chan and Chen Long parted ways with him in the past was because of the conflict between politicalism and transcendentalism. I didn't expect that Lu Chan is now in contact with the God Gun again... No, it seems reasonable. Now Lu Chan has become a transcendentalist, but he can talk to the God Gun..."

"Is the God of Gun a close confidant of some Great God of Death?" I asked.

"Well...wait, you don't want to fight with him already, do you?" Zhu Shijing asked.

“If the other party is determined to fight with me anyway…” I said seriously.

"Could it be that my grandfather said something weird to you in private? I'm going to complain to him later..." She grumbled, and then continued, "Most of the Great Perfection-level Wuchang are the confidants of a certain Great Wuchang, and the Divine Spear should be one of them. However, there are only rumors that Luo Shan is secretly working for a certain Great Wuchang, but no one knows who it is. I guess the Great Wuchang behind him must be a deep-minded conspirator."

According to Mr. Zhu's theory, if I have a conflict with the Divine Spear in the future, even if I can win, it would be best not to kill it.

However, Sharpshooter might come as a supporter this time, but I am here thinking about whether to fight or kill, which makes me look very impolite.

I couldn't help but ask for more information about the magic gun: "How strong is he?"

"The combat power of the Great Perfection Rank is not something that a small-time Wuchang like me can accurately evaluate." Zhu Shi said helplessly, "It's just that based on the information I heard in the past, if the Chenlong that you fought before had invincible defense, then the Divine Spear can be said to have invincible attack power.

"I think you can already tell from the name 'God Spear' that this person is good at using a spear. It is said that he has a special ability called 'Always Hit, Always Penetrate'. As the name suggests, once his spear is used, it will definitely hit the target, and once it hits the target, it will definitely penetrate it."

"It sounds a bit like the spear of Gungnir from Norse mythology," I said.

The effect of this power is so simple, yet so absurd.

"Absolute Hit" and "Absolute Penetration", just one of these two attributes is powerful enough, and the combination of the two is even more speechless.

The last time I saw a similar ability was in a video game plug-in.

A moment later, Lu You came, dressed like an ancient Taoist priest, with a faint mist on his body.

"You actually took a special bath?" Zhu Shi asked.

I heard that many clergy would bathe and fast before participating in important ceremonies. Lu Youxun should have done something similar. Although it was too late to start fasting now, the bath could still be completed quickly. It seemed that there was a place to bathe in this office.

"To communicate with the mind, it is not enough for Zhuang Cheng to have no hostility towards me. I also need to have no hostility towards Zhuang Cheng. In order to prevent unnecessary distracting thoughts, I must of course take the steps to cleanse my mind first." Lu Youxun replied.

"Wow... So you think you have hostility towards Senior Brother Zhuang..." Zhu Shi glanced at him.

Lu Youxun said calmly, "Don't get me wrong. Hostility is common between people. Even between very close friends, there may be disgust and discrimination hidden in the details that the parties themselves are not aware of. I just want to reduce accidents to a minimum."

"Then should I take a shower too?" I asked.

"No, you don't have to. Bathing to purify the mind is also a ritual, not just taking a bath. If you do it at the last minute, you might end up with random thoughts." Lu Youxun shook his head first, then said, "Everything is ready, shall we start now?"

"Okay." I stepped forward.

In his left hand he held a handful of abacus sticks made of white jade, and his right hand was extended towards me.

I also stretched out my right hand and shook his.
