My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 89 - 82: The Odd Jobs Guy (5/5)
Zhengyuan Mansion.
The events over at Xia Panqiu’s side are unbeknownst to Chen Lusi.
At this moment, he has already arrived in front of the building where Celestial Strategy Trading is located.
There are no ordinary people inside the building.
It’s unclear whether it’s because of an accident on the top floor or if Si Yujie or Xia Yue specifically instructed it.
In any case.
The crowd has been evacuated.
The building, usually bustling with people during workdays, is now completely deserted and silent.
Chen Lusi stands at the entrance, looks up at the top, and doesn’t rush in. Instead, he stretches out his hand and begins to rub Spirit Balls, replenishing the Spirit he just consumed.
He swallows three Spirit Balls in a row, then bends over and retches for a while.
After repeatedly confirming that the Spirit within him has been replenished.
Chen Lusi straightens up, takes a deep breath, and only then officially steps inside the building.
...
Celestial Strategy Trading.
Inside.
The half-human-tall Bell and Gongs statue still stands in place, invisible waves persistently spreading, seeming unchanged.
But other places have greatly changed.
... what you could call gruesome.
Everywhere are severed limbs, blood, corpses, and... bloody spines.
Like a human world purgatory.
Si Yujie truly lived up to her words.
Everyone who dared to stand before her was forcibly stripped of their spine.
The figure once seen at Sun Rensheng’s home stands by the Bell, watching Si Yujie not far away, drenched in blood with a hint of divinity on her face, lightly sighs.
There are few people left beside him.
Nearly thirty containers.
Now, only five remain.
The other twenty-odd people, all lie on the ground at this moment.
"As expected of the hardest-to-deal Ancient System."
"Even using the Bell to seal off your External Technique capability, I’m responsible for forming Defense Techniques, merely trying to hold you back results still in heavy casualties."
"Barely sustaining for an hour, and this isn’t even your specialty, close combat."
The figure shakes his head gently, seemingly reflective.
Si Yujie says nothing, pushes aside the corpse in front of her, and continues slowly walking forward.
"However."
The figure lightly laughs, glancing back at the large hole behind him, suddenly shifting the subject: "An hour was enough... we’ve already succeeded."
"..."
At these words.
Si Yujie’s steps immediately halt.
Her originally expressionless face, touched by a hint of sanctity, an untouchable beauty, slowly reveals a trace of concern.
And this human side.
Instantly.
Begins to shake the powerful aura emanating from her.
The figure sees this, gently shakes his head, his smile becoming more brilliant.
In the end.
Still human...
No matter being granted the name of a deity, as long as there is concern, one cannot become a true Deity.
Even if Si Yujie initially could remain calm, in a sense becoming a human manifestation, but as time goes by, the human side inevitably dominates.
After all, at the start, she could rely on breaking through to keep herself calm, but now, an hour has passed, how can she convince herself?
So, these Celestial Strategy Mansion members...
Are just too foolish.
Insisting on giving themselves a weakness.
Ridiculous.
Maybe... I can try turning her concern into impatience? And then, try killing this Shadow Celestial Strategy?
Thinking of this.
The figure takes a playful look at Si Yujie, continues: "I know you had an agreement with Ji Xin, but you should have guessed the reason behind this massive city anomaly activation.
That’s right... it’s our doing, if I’m not wrong, right now members of the Jixing Brigade are likely struggling in the Anomaly Realm."
"..."
Si Yujie pauses in place, her beautiful face’s concern growing more obvious, her breathing becoming hurried.
"And your Third Brigade’s three members... are probably also in the Anomaly Realm, if I remember correctly, they should be called Wu You, Xia Panqiu, and Chen Lusi, right?"
The figure gently pats the half-human-tall Bell and Gongs statue beside him, with a smile, confidently says: "These three are quite interesting, especially Chen Lusi, last time he played our member manipulating the Anomaly Realm around... wonder if he can create a miracle this time."
"But even if he can... likely can’t change anything, do you know who I sent to the elementary school?"
The figure deliberately pauses to admire the struggling Si Yujie, then softly says: "It’s Feng Zhen, Ruan Dun, and Mirror Ghost."
"You know them, right? Ha, you should especially know Feng Zhen... after all, your Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters’s evaluation of him is higher than Lu Hao, last year he even killed two of your A-Class action squads.
Your people seemed quite angry, his Authority ability is interesting, extremely destructive, pity his nature is a bit extreme, otherwise, he’d be another Holy Son.
Such an extreme person, combined with the invincible defense of Ruan Dun, and the elusive Mirror Ghost...
You say... your three members, if they indeed created a miracle, escaped the Anomaly Realm, and faced Feng Zhen, Ruan Dun, and Mirror Ghost at the elementary school, what would happen?"
"..."
Si Yujie’s full chest rises and falls, the human side starting to dominate.
Even knowing the opponent is trying to make her lose calm.
But hearing Feng Zhen and others’ names from the figure’s mouth, she still can’t stay calm.
Especially after an hour has passed without any news.
"Let me think... if they meet Feng Zhen and others, they definitely can’t win, with invincible defense of Ruan Dun blocking the way, their attacks won’t even work, while Mirror Ghost will keep attacking from unexpected positions.
They can only watch as our people take away your daughter, while Feng Zhen eventually smashes them into pulp, their last thought before death likely being... why didn’t Si Yujie appear!?"
"You these——!!!"
Before the figure’s words finish.
Si Yujie collapses instantly, the sanctity on her face vanished entirely.
She steps forward uncontrollably, fury unrestrained.
"Hahahahaha."
Seeing her like this, the figure can’t help but laugh loudly, full of mockery.
Ha.
Really anxious.
But his laughter stops abruptly, hasn’t yet paused... suddenly realizes.
The previously anxious Si Yujie, suddenly stops, stares at him blankly, then slowly looks past him, toward behind him.
The figure notes this, a bit puzzled.
And he hasn’t reacted in time.
Thud thud——
A gentle tapping sound suddenly rings.
He shudders, swiftly turns around.
A young man, tall and straight, stands quietly at the entrance, gently tapping on the remaining quarter of glass, expression peaceful, as if knocking on the door.
The figure freezes slightly, then looks at the young man’s face... his face shape distinct, facial features defined, with a ponytail, exuding an indescribable handsomeness.
"Chen Lusi..."
Si Yujie first reacts.
Chen Lusi lowers his hand, directly replies: "She’s fine, staying together with Xia Panqiu."
Si Yujie hesitates, then suddenly breaths a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on her beautiful face, like melting winter snow.
"..."
The figure hearing this, instead freezes, remembers who this young man is.
Chen Lusi.
That... newcomer.
But this isn’t important, the important thing is... what does it mean she’s fine? Who does she refer to?
... Si Yujie’s daughter?
"How is it possible!!!"
The gray mist covering the figure’s face rolls, indicating his mood is unstable, he fiercely stares at Chen Lusi, says: "Bluffing!? Escaped here the first chance to pose? You think this works? You people? Feng Zhen they..."
"A fool who can only stand and take hits, a coward who only dares to use mirrors to sneak attack, an arrogant beast."
Chen Lusi directly interrupts him, calmly asks: "Is that who you’re referring to?"
"..."
The gray mist covering the figure’s face rolls more violently.
He urgently steps forward, angrily says: "Impossible!! Absolutely impossible!!!... Feng Zhen, Ruan Dun, and Mirror Ghost, the three of them! You a bleeding one! How could you escape unscathed! How could you survive? Who exactly are you!?"
The figure’s voice grows louder.
In the end, even cracking.
And his previous mocking calm, now vanished without a trace.
Chen Lusi looks at him, thinks for a moment, then calmly replies:
"A handyman."
