My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 58 - 52: Rescued

"As expected..."

Chen Lusi saw the four corpses stop swaying, sighed with relief, and then slowly raised the gun in his hand, aiming at the still-swaying corpse.

But soon.

He lowered the gun.

Let it be.

At such a distance, I can’t hit the rope, better not try to show off...

With this thought in mind, he accelerated suddenly, then kicked off the wall and leaped up high, raising his right hand.

A flash of cold light appeared.

Flesh twisted into a blade.

Chen Lusi aimed at the rope strangling the corpse’s neck, intending to cut it down.

"Ahhhh————"

The corpse hanging on the rope suddenly twisted its head around, leaning forward to bite Chen Lusi.

Chen Lusi glanced at it, chose not to dodge, and continued to swing the blade toward the rope.

A person and a corpse collided head-on.

But, as expected, no pain came; the corpse passed straight through Chen Lusi’s body.

Yet his blade struck firmly against the white thick hemp rope.

The sharp blade sliced through the hemp rope.

The rope broke with a snap.

The corpse fell heavily to the ground.

Chen Lusi, in the gap between heading toward the next corpse, glanced down.

As soon as the corpse hit the ground, its surroundings twisted and then transformed into Peng Wanyong.

"Hoo——"

Just after landing.

Peng Wanyong, ignoring the pain, immediately reached to tear the rope from his neck and began to take deep breaths.

A purple strangulation mark on his neck was extremely noticeable.

He was the only ordinary person in the team.

This was who Chen Lusi worried about the most.

Luckily... made it in time.

Chen Lusi looked away, then, using the training from this period, pushed off the wall to approach the next person and repeated the same trick.

Soon.

The other four corpses also fell to the ground.

And in turn transformed into Jin Yi, Tian Wencheng, Wu You, and Xia Panqiu.

Their condition was slightly better than Peng Wanyong’s.

After all, they weren’t ordinary people, the strangulation marks on their necks weren’t as severe. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

But not by much, as soon as they landed, they too clutched their necks, gasping for air.

Meanwhile, as the real bodies landed, the five fallen figures in the distance turned back into the corpses originally hanging on the pipes.

Compared to the beginning.

The five hanging ghosts, four of them now had a bullet hole in the forehead, and one even had its belly cut open.

The initially terrifying look due to hanging, the new wounds on the five bodies, lying haphazardly on the ground, with blood splattered everywhere... the impact was extremely strong.

In stark contrast to the five real ones sitting on the ground...

"..."

Wu You caught his breath for a while, finally recovering, he looked up at the corpses ahead, and fell into silence.

Heaven knows how hopeless he felt at first...

Strangely hung up, unable to mobilize the Spirit to break free... and forced to watch an imposter take his place in the team, fanning the flames.

One by one, team members were switched.

In the end, only Chen Lusi was left...

At that time, the five hanging people, seeing the imposters’ mutual suspicion, continual pressure on Chen Lusi, it was needless to say how hopeless they felt... they all thought they were doomed.

After all, no one could guarantee, in such an environment, what a newcomer might do.

Even if Chen Lusi could calm down and judge rationally... it would be meaningless as everyone was an imposter.

So when Chen Lusi took out the gun and voluntarily increased pressure, those hanging back then couldn’t even look.

Who would’ve thought.

The situation would suddenly change.

Chen Lusi went one by one... breaking through to hope...

Thinking of this.

Wu You couldn’t help but turn back, looking toward Chen Lusi standing there.

Chen Lusi reached into his bag for a new magazine, just as he was swapping it in, he noticed Wu You’s gaze and looked up.

"I can read minds!"

Seeing Chen Lusi slightly raise the gun and cleanly load the magazine, Wu You blurted out, "I can read minds!!!"

"...?"

Chen Lusi glanced at him, puzzled.

"I am Jin Yi, captain of the second squad of Jixing Brigade..."

Before Chen Lusi could react.

Jin Yi looked at him, taking over from Wu You, and suddenly introduced himself.

"Rectangular!" Peng Wanyong quickly opened his mouth, somewhat anxiously explaining, "The badge used as proof is rectangular!"

Xia Panqiu knelt on the ground, softly said, "...I don’t want to wear it, at least not in front of so many people."

Finally.

Only Tian Wencheng hadn’t spoken yet.

He looked at everyone again, then at Chen Lusi holding the gun, held it in for a while, then said, "I’m not as weak as an imposter."

Chen Lusi: "..."

What are these people talking about?

"We’re just a bit worried..."

Wu You, hearing Chen Lusi’s thoughts, realized, somewhat sheepishly said, "Put down the gun first, these are real people this time..."

"I know." Chen Lusi glanced at the gun, then lowered his hand, nodding.

"How did you find out?" Wu You asked curiously.

The panic gradually faded.

A strong curiosity rose instead.

The others couldn’t help but look at Chen Lusi too.

"Authority."

Chen Lusi looked at Wu You and replied, "I hesitated many times, repeatedly saying in my mind that I wanted your bag, but you had no reaction at all."

Wu You was stunned for a moment, then realized.

...His Authority was out of control.

"This is something both Xia Panqiu and I knew about, she said you weren’t normal, she should have used this example instead of saying your walking posture was wrong."

Chen Lusi continued, "So both of you had issues, and if something happened to you, it proved there were problems with the others too. After all, Jin Yi was the first to stick his face into the room, and besides, he didn’t seem like the type to continue probing about others’ Authority after hearing from teammates.

And the order you stuck your faces in the room was Jin Yi, Wu You, Tian Wencheng, Officer Peng, Xia Panqiu... the only one I couldn’t confirm whether there was an issue was Officer Peng, so I specifically picked a question he would know for sure and waited patiently for two seconds before shooting, and sure enough, there was an issue."

"...Did you really wait two seconds?"

Peng Wanyong was silent for a moment, couldn’t help but ask softly.

Wasn’t it a direct shot after all?

"Yes."

Chen Lusi nodded, then thought for a moment, and said, "Actually, it would have been more or less the same... my instinct told me, you guys are professionals, in such a situation it shouldn’t be so amateurish, continually pressuring me, the newcomer, wasn’t normal in itself. So when I decided to shoot, deep down I had probably already decided those people were imposters."

"..."

Hearing the words ’professionals’ and ’newcomer’.

All five were silent.

The only thought was unworthy of the title...

The order should be reversed.

"Thanks."

Jin Yi forced a smile, then stood up: "I owe you one."

"It’d be better not to be so extreme usually..." Tian Wencheng also stood up, glanced at Chen Lusi, hesitated, and said this.

"We were saved."

Wu You sighed, got up, and helped Peng Wanyong up as well.

"Thank you..."

Xia Panqiu leaned on Chen Lusi’s leg, also standing up, then whispered, "And sorry, in the last moments I wanted to warn you to be careful, but the door suddenly opened, I glanced, and was switched."

"I see... Let me confirm, how were you switched?"

Chen Lusi asked as he looked around at the ones who had recovered.

The others exchanged glances, didn’t hesitate, and directly described the last scene they saw.

All five realized they were hung up after seeing a hanged girl.

"So... that’s the source?"

Chen Lusi, upon hearing this, lowered his head and fell into contemplation.

The others didn’t speak, all looked at him.

For a moment.

Chen Lusi seemed more like the leader of this temporary squad.
