As the only Daoist in the 21st century to successfully build a foundation, Gu Zhilin never expected to contract a terminal illness.
To survive, he chose to join a cryonics experiment, expecti...
Li Sang couldn't understand why lightning would strike her when everything in her company was in good condition.
Even dressed in his finest clothes, Li Sang's face was charred black by the lightning strike, and the logistics director on the ground was knocked unconscious as well.
After being struck, Li Sang suddenly seemed to wake up, looking at her feet in confusion before turning to Lu Jin'an.
Finally, their gaze fell upon Gu Zhilin.
"The Celestial Master summons lightning?" Li Sang asked uncertainly.
But these words startled Gu Zhilin.
Everyone knows that he is a Taoist priest, but no one knows that he is a descendant of the Celestial Master.
He was even certain that very few people in modern society knew the name "Celestial Master".
Gu Zhilin narrowed his eyes and asked dangerously, "Who exactly are you? Why do you know about ancient Taoism?"
Li Sang was unconcerned by the questioning and chuckled lightly: "You don't think you're the only ancient person or Taoist priest in this universe, do you?"
"Who else?" Gu Zhilin stepped forward, wanting to get closer to Li Sang.
Lu Jin'an subconsciously felt that Li Sang was in great danger at this moment, so he stepped forward and stopped Gu Zhilin.
Indeed, although Li Sang was injured by lightning, he looked very weak at this moment.
But he always gripped the gun tightly in his hand, ready to unleash a devastating shot without hesitation should Gu Zhilin get too close.
Unfortunately, Lu Jin'an stopped him.
"Why should I tell you?" Li Sang chuckled provocatively.
Lu Jin'an was afraid that Gu Zhilin would act impulsively, so she could only hold his arm and remind him in his ear: "Don't be impulsive. As long as we catch the logistics director and find evidence of his crimes, we can arrest him."
Gu Zhilin glared at Li Sang, but still felt unsatisfied.
“When Master Dao doesn’t want to tolerate something, no one can make me tolerate it,” he said coldly to Li Sang.
In that instant, Li Sang suddenly felt the air around her grow cold.
This made him somewhat uneasy, and knowing Gu Zhilin's capabilities made him even more panicked.
Sure enough, the next second, Gu Zhilin suddenly took out a talisman he had drawn himself from somewhere and threw it at Li Sang.
Along with the talisman, several silver needles were also taken.
Even Lu Jin'an had never seen Gu Zhilin use talismans.
The next second, Li Sang seemed unable to move, and then a talisman was stuck to his forehead.
Gu Zhilin coldly looked at Li Sang: "Now, if I want you to live, you can live; if I want you to die, you can only die. You either bow down and confess your sins, or I will teach you how to confess your sins."
Li Sang suddenly became unable to move or speak, but she could hear Gu Zhilin's words.
For some reason, Gu Zhilin's voice wasn't particularly harsh when he spoke.
But it sent chills down his spine, especially now that he was being controlled by the other party and unable to move.
Gu Zhilin glanced at him indifferently and said to Lu Jin'an, "General Lu, Li Sang volunteered to return to the military with us for investigation. We shouldn't need to wait for orders from our superiors, right?"
Lu Jin'an was still confused by Li Sang's frozen posture, and the other military soldiers behind him also didn't understand why Li Sang suddenly stood there stiffly and couldn't move.
Lu Jin'an asked in confusion, "He offered it on his own initiative?"
Gu Zhilin nodded and asked Li Sang, "Did you volunteer to come with us to the army to be investigated?"
Suddenly, Li Sang, who had been stiff and unable to move, nodded heavily.
Lu Jin'an understood that this was Gu Zhilin's tactic; when this man got angry and called himself "Daoist Master" just now, he was really cool.
Lu Jin'an suppressed a laugh and turned to ask the soldiers behind him, "You all saw it, right? It was Mr. Li Sang who volunteered to come back to the army with us to accept the investigation."
The soldiers naturally noticed Li Sang's unusual behavior, but they also saw him nod.
So they all said in unison, "Yes, General Lu."
So Lu Jin'an, without any qualms, took Li Sang and the logistics director back to the military region.
General Zhu did not expect that the two of them would bring back Li Sang himself after their trip.
At first, he was worried that Lu Jin'an had impulsively tied the person up and brought them back.
But I heard that it was Le Sang who volunteered to come to the army to be investigated.
They also worried that the other party might be plotting something.
When he saw the person, he felt that it was not much different from being tied up and brought back, but... it was indeed the other party who nodded on his own.
Therefore, they did not violate any regulations.
But something just doesn't look right.
Finally, he looked at Gu Zhilin beside him and asked, "Do you think you'll be included in every arrest from now on? What kind of people can't you arrest?"
Gu Zhilin naturally knew that the other party did not mean to praise him.
He touched his nose somewhat awkwardly.
Lu Jin'an immediately said, "General Zhu, today's situation was indeed thanks to Gu Zhilin's method of controlling Li Sang, otherwise the logistics director might have been killed by Li Sang."
Zhu Jiangshuai glared at him fiercely: "Do you need to be so protective of your own? The whole situation was recorded holographically. Did Li Sang look like someone who could kill someone back then?"
“But Li Sang did indeed volunteer to come back with us; he nodded,” Lu Jin’an argued.
Zhu Jiangshuai sighed: "We must believe in science, we must believe in science. It was indeed him who nodded. Gu Zhilin did not approach the other party."
“Yes, General,” Lu Jin’an replied immediately.
The general was so angry he wanted to hit someone.
Finally, she looked at Gu Zhilin and asked, "His words seemed to have upset you? Can I know what happened?"
Gu Zhilin had nothing to hide: "You should know from the holographic recording that he proposed that there was more than one ancient person and more than one Taoist in this universe."
"This means he has seen or at least come into contact with such a person, and the array at the Battle Academy also confirms the existence of such a person. More importantly..."
“Have you noticed that he wasn’t talking about this world, or this Earth, but about this universe? Don’t you think that means this ancient person, this Taoist priest… is outside Earth, maybe even on Mars?”
Upon hearing this, both General Zhu and Lu Jin'an felt a cold sweat run down their backs.
They knew about Gu Zhilin's abilities.
If there is someone on Mars with the same abilities as Gu Zhilin, or even... it is very likely that person appeared on Mars earlier than Gu Zhilin.
So……
Gu Zhilin continued, "Last time when General Lu was surrounded on Planet One, I said it was likely some kind of formation. Moreover, just now, there was a moment when Li Sang's condition clearly showed that he was being controlled remotely. I must control him first and bring him back."
"The situation is serious, and I must report it immediately." Upon hearing this, Zhu Jiangshuai immediately stood there and began to report to his superiors using his AI.
