My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 56 - 50: Who Has a Problem?

Because of the earlier disturbance.

Currently, all the doors on both sides of the underground corridor are open.

This means that the jump scare has lost its effect.

But the group still walked slowly. After all, even though the doors were open, most rooms remained pitch dark, making it hard to see the situation inside with the naked eye.

Moreover, because Chen Lusi mentioned seeing something incredible earlier, tension was spreading within this newly formed small group... In such a situation, it’s normal not to act rashly.

However, the work had to be done.

The group had to suppress their nervousness and continue searching.

The fourth room.

This seemed to be a large storage room, filled with cardboard boxes of various sizes stacked on shelves, making the entire space feel oppressive and cramped.

Jin Yi was the first to enter the room, then groped around looking to turn on the light.

But he pressed the switch for a while, and there was no response.

"Let’s go in and take a look... The room’s full view can’t be seen from the doorway, remember to speak up if you encounter anything."

He thought for a while, gave some instructions, and then was the first to walk deep into the room.

The others exchanged looks and followed, beginning to search along the shelves.

Chen Lusi was the last to enter, glanced at the group’s formation, and walked directly to the right side where Wu You was searching.

Inside the room, with only the doorway letting in light, visibility was extremely low.

The stacked boxes were barely discernible in the dim room, occasionally wobbling slightly when brushed against, adding to the eerie atmosphere.

Under such circumstances, one must also be wary of potential scenes of ’a hanging person’...

The pressure was quite intense.

Chen Lusi thought for a moment, shifted his shoulder bag from his back to his chest, and quickened his pace slightly.

Soon.

He reached a wall, he had come to the end.

"..."

Chen Lusi touched it, confirmed it was indeed a wall, and turned to go around the standing shelves, heading back along the other side.

But he hadn’t gone far.

Swish—

The central cardboard box on the nearby shelf was suddenly moved aside.

Chen Lusi heard a noise, turned his head, and saw a pale face appearing on the other side of the shelf, its eyes rolled back, staring straight at him.

"..."

Seeing this, Chen Lusi immediately stepped aside two steps.

"What happened?"

Wu You’s voice came, heavy with concern, "Did you see a vision again?"

Chen Lusi looked again and found it was Wu You standing on the other side of the shelf.

He was looking at Chen Lusi, his expression completely normal.

"...Yes."

Chen Lusi nodded slightly after a moment’s thought, looking at Wu You.

"I knew it."

Wu You’s face turned grim, and after glancing around, whispered, "Follow me."

With that.

He walked ahead directly.

Chen Lusi thought for a moment, then followed.

The two bypassed the shelf and regrouped.

Wu You came to his side and whispered, "Look at Xia Panqiu."

"..."

Chen Lusi was somewhat puzzled but still looked across the room at Xia Panqiu.

"Look at her feet," Wu You reminded.

Chen Lusi’s gaze shifted downward.

Although the dim environment made it hard to see clearly... he barely made out that she seemed to be on tiptoes.

Whether standing or walking, she was always on tiptoe.

"...Did you notice?"

Wu You lowered his voice further, his expression grave, "She might not be normal... may not be the original Xia Panqiu. You’re the only one who’s had contact with her; you’ve been influenced, so keep an eye on her, don’t trust her."

"What’s going on with you two?"

As soon as Wu You finished speaking.

Xia Panqiu noticed their gaze and shouted from afar.

"It’s nothing, just goofing around."

Wu You looked up, gave her a smile, patted Chen Lusi on the shoulder, and walked towards Xia Panqiu.

"..."

Chen Lusi watched Xia Panqiu, stood dumbfounded for a while, then followed along.

Soon.

The entire room was searched from top to bottom.

Nothing was found.

The group had no choice but to leave.

Chen Lusi still chose to stick to the back of the group.

After exiting the room.

Xia Panqiu suddenly slowed her pace, moved to Chen Lusi’s side, and warned softly, "Be careful."

"..."

Hearing this, Chen Lusi’s gaze shifted past her elegantly contoured legs and finally fixed on her feet in canvas shoes.

She was not on her toes, her gait was quite normal.

"Stop looking at me."

Xia Panqiu, facing forward, said softly as if talking to herself, "I know what Wu You told you, but don’t trust him. I’ve been around him much longer than you have, and since entering the underground, he’s been off."

"Such as?"

Chen Lusi thought for a moment, then asked softly.

"Habit."

Xia Panqiu, seeing Wu You wasn’t looking their way, turned to Chen Lusi, "That’s not his walking style... Anyway, don’t trust him, see what he’s up to first."

Chen Lusi hesitated to say something.

"What’s wrong?" Xia Panqiu frowned slightly.

"Nothing."

Chen Lusi shook his head.

"Be careful."

Xia Panqiu gave a final warning, then moved ahead to rejoin the others.

Chen Lusi touched the bag hanging on his chest, looked at the few people ahead, and showed a thoughtful expression.

Soon.

The group reached the fifth room.

This was a room that stored cleaning supplies, not very big.

But after Jin Yi took the lead to enter.

The others did not choose to wait outside.

Jin Yi’s companion, Tian Wencheng, glanced at him and followed inside.

Seeing Wu You enter, Xia Panqiu followed as well.

But no matter whether it was Tian Wencheng and Jin Yi, or Xia Panqiu and Wu You, both sides kept a distance, subtly wary of each other.

And Chen Lusi noticed all this.

After all, he was at the back of the group.

In the end, out of the six, only Officer Peng Wanyong from the Security Department did not go in.

Chen Lusi came beside him, also choosing not to enter.

Peng Wanyong discreetly turned his head, looking at Chen Lusi’s neck, then suddenly pulled him back a few steps.

Chen Lusi looked at him with some confusion.

"Have you noticed."

A tense expression appeared on Peng Wanyong’s previously emotionless face; leaning against the wall, he spoke with a slight tremor, "All of them have a red mark on their necks, only the two of us don’t?"

"..."

Hearing this, Chen Lusi slowly turned to look at the room.

At this moment.

Jin Yi and others were already coming out of the small room.

Chen Lusi examined them and found faint red marks on both sides of their necks, not very noticeable.

But on closer inspection, they could be seen, and it wasn’t just Jin Yi who had such red marks.

Rather...everyone did.

"Officer Peng, which room is it exactly?"

After coming out, Jin Yi turned to Peng Wanyong, seemingly a bit impatient.

"It should be further back."

Peng Wanyong’s expression returned to normal, calmly replying, "The specific location isn’t clear to the person involved; you’ll need to rely on yourselves."

With that said.

He gave Chen Lusi a look, barely perceptibly shook his head, then rejoined Jin Yi and the others.

Chen Lusi stood still, seeming somewhat tense, silently touching the bag on his chest again.

And behind him.

Five corpses continued to sway, more violently than ever before.
