My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 64 - 58: Around the Neck

What is this thing...

Chen Lusi released his hand, then glanced at his palm, leaned back, and rested on the sofa, looking at the ceiling.

Always feels like.

Ever since joining the Celestial Strategy Mansion, he’s been encountering strange things.

Yet, an organization like Celestial Strategy, which deals with superpowers, still can’t answer his questions.

A little girl, rising from the dead, invisible lines...

Fortunately, he wasn’t the type to get fixated and lose sleep over not understanding something.

Otherwise, it would probably be tough.

"I’ll ask about it later."

Chen Lusi stood up, ready to freshen up.

Even if he sat on the sofa all day thinking, he wouldn’t understand what he couldn’t comprehend.

After all, he’s not a hardware piece that can be taken apart to see what’s wrong.

All he can do is report it and see if Si Yujie and others can give him some answers.

Of course.

He’s not holding out much hope.

After all, just yesterday, Si Yujie said she was powerless.

Brushing his teeth, washing his face, changing into fresh clothes.

Chen Lusi left Lin Ying’s room.

At nine in the morning.

Chen Lusi arrived on time at Celestial Strategy Trading.

Si Yujie was standing at the front desk, holding a cup sleepily, looking utterly exhausted.

"Good morning."

Upon seeing Chen Lusi, she forced herself to perk up and greeted him.

Chen Lusi nodded, then came up to her, looking directly through the steam rising from the cup at her charming face, and said, "Xiaoxiao, there’s another problem."

"...Why are you also calling out for Xiaoxiao?"

Si Yujie barely managed to gather herself and then asked, "What happened?"

"This nickname does roll off the tongue a bit, I subconsciously started using it."

Chen Lusi realized, but now was not the time to worry about this; he briefly explained and then went on to talk about what he encountered that morning.

"..."

Si Yujie didn’t focus much on the nickname issue; she earnestly listened to Chen Lusi’s narration, then pondered for a moment and asked, "The line you saw in the morning was exactly like the line on that girl’s head in the supermarket?"

"At least it looked the same, but it was longer." Chen Lusi replied.

Si Yujie then asked, "And you’re sure the other end of the line isn’t up in the sky or underground, but stretches far away?"

"Yeah."

"..."

Si Yujie pondered again, then softly said after a long while, "Sorry, I still don’t know what it is. I can’t give you an answer, but I can offer you a suggestion."

"What?" Chen Lusi asked curiously.

"Next time the line appears, notify me; I’ll see if I can help you trace it."

Si Yujie organized her words and continued, "Or perhaps when the line appears again, try tracing it yourself, find a way to follow it and see what’s on the other end... though doing this is a bit risky. I can’t leave, and Xia Yue has recently rotated to the sea to serve as a Guardian, so if you really want to trace it, better observe from a distance. Don’t act rashly if you’re unsure about the danger."

"Tracing, huh..."

Hearing Si Yujie’s suggestion, Chen Lusi breathed a sigh of relief: "So we still don’t know if this is related to my Authority?"

Si Yujie: "Hmm."

Chen Lusi was silent for a moment, looking at Si Yujie, he couldn’t help but ask, "...Miss Si Yujie, has anyone encountered a situation like mine before? Knowing the name and effect of their Authority, but the actual ability behavior is completely different; have you ever met such an Empowerer?"

"Yes, I’ve encountered."

Si Yujie thought about it and replied, "Though it’s rare... there are similar cases. After all, most legends are inherently complex; some unique Authorities might dislocate during use, producing effects similar to ’awakening’.

After all, not everyone’s Authority is as pure as Xia Yue’s Authority."

Though your situation is entirely different.

Si Yujie looked at Chen Lusi’s attractive face and added.

An Authority that can’t be recorded by the Yellow Springs Fragment... she was actually more curious than Chen Lusi.

"..."

Chen Lusi heard this and fell silent.

Still no answer.

"Don’t worry too much."

Seeing Chen Lusi in silence, Si Yujie gently smiled, leaned on the table with her chin in her hand: "No matter what your situation with your Authority is, you are still you, aren’t you?"

Recovering himself, Chen Lusi looked up at the mature lady half-leaning on the table.

"No matter how many strange things happen, the person using the Authority is you."

Si Yujie, with her chin resting in her hand, reached out her slender, fair finger, gently tapping Chen Lusi’s heart: "That’s what’s most important. As long as you maintain your current self, someday, you’ll surely fully master the Authority you have. Believe in yourself."

Chen Lusi hesitated for a moment and asked: "Chicken soup?"

Si Yujie smiled, her fair finger again tapping his chest, saying: "Now you should reply ’Yes’."

Chen Lusi thought about it and answered: "Yes."

"..."

Si Yujie couldn’t help but laugh.

Isn’t it fun?

Much more interesting than someone like Lu Hao or Li Tian.

"Someday, you’ll understand your Authority Ability, don’t rush."

Si Yujie withdrew her hand, stretching lazily: "Now go do what can be done, Wu You and Panqiu are waiting for you, didn’t you say you’re going to test the Ancient Object you got yesterday? I’ll watch over for you guys, feel free to test it."

"Alright."

Chen Lusi nodded, then turned and walked into the company interior.

As expected.

He didn’t get any answers.

Only a bowl of chicken soup, and it was force-fed.

Indeed.

There’s no such thing as a woman without trouble...

It looks like to understand what that line really is, he can only wait for it to appear again and then follow it to see what’s on that end.

Thinking this, Chen Lusi walked into the meeting room, and entered the gourd inside.

Wu You and Xia Panqiu were indeed waiting inside.

And as soon as Chen Lusi entered, he saw Wu You holding the coarse rope they got yesterday, placing it around his neck.

When Chen Lusi landed, the two noticed him.

"Good morning."

Wu You and Xia Panqiu turned and greeted him.

Xia Panqiu was fine.

But Wu You with a rope around his neck saying good morning was really quite odd.

"What are you doing?" Chen Lusi looked at Wu You.

"Testing."

Wu You explained: "We are using the Ancient Object the same way the girl in the mall basement used it, and this rope, no matter how you look at it, should be around the neck, right?"

"..."

Chen Lusi was speechless for a moment and then asked: "So have you discovered anything?"

"Yes!"

Wu You nodded, then said: "But before that, you first put the rope around your neck..."

Finished speaking.

He took off the coarse rope from his own neck and handed it to Chen Lusi.

Chen Lusi: "..."
