My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 98 - 91: Giving a Name
Chen Lusi missed his stop.
When he woke up, he found himself at the terminal station.
He could only take the metro back.
During this time.
He received a message from Xia Panqiu, probably learning from Xia Yue that Chen Lusi’s journey was already known.
So she sent a message to inform Chen Lusi not to go to Celestial Strategy Trading, to go back and rest well, and talk about other things the next day.
Chen Lusi glanced at the message, thanked her, and then put away his phone.
Soon.
The metro arrived.
Chen Lusi left the metro station.
The Celestial Strategy Mansion’s response was quite swift; after the issue was resolved, the area around Celestial Strategy Trading was cordoned off.
Quite a few police members were standing guard outside the caution tape.
Seeing this scene, Chen Lusi hesitated about how he should return.
The nearest police member recognized him, then pulled out a phone to make a comparison, and voluntarily opened the caution tape, asking, "Are you Mr. Chen Lusi?"
"Yes... thank you."
Chen Lusi was slightly stunned, then thanked him and bent down to go inside.
Near the elementary school, Xia Panqiu and Si Yujie were no longer there.
But a lot of unfamiliar figures were busy working.
Some were handling corpses, some were cleaning up blood on the ground... others were crouching down, seemingly releasing some technique to repair the ground.
From afar, they saw Chen Lusi approaching.
Many people raised their heads to look at him, somewhat puzzled.
Then, as if realizing something, their expressions suddenly changed.
Chen Lusi thought for a moment, didn’t greet anyone actively, and intentionally circled around them.
But their eyes followed Chen Lusi the entire time.
Chen Lusi pretended not to see, maintained a steady pace, and headed toward Qinyuan and Mansion.
It wasn’t until he turned into the neighborhood.
Did those gazes finally disappear.
Chen Lusi was genuinely curious about this; usually, only a few people came and went at Celestial Strategy Trading, where did all these empowerers come from?
Another team?
He recalled Xia Yue’s words.
It seemed that the third team under Xia Yue was pretty unfortunate.
He couldn’t help but sigh and then took the elevator back to Lin Ying’s rented apartment.
Took a shower, changed clothes, ordered takeout...
Chen Lusi initially intended to order takeout, but at the last moment of placing the order... he remembered the current situation.
Thinking about possibly having to go downstairs to get the takeout.
Chen Lusi immediately gave up, put down his phone, and rummaged through the kitchen cabinet.
Lin Ying didn’t look like someone who would cook here, but there was some noodles.
Chen Lusi made himself a bowl of noodles.
After a round of work, by the time the noodles were ready, it was already evening.
Chen Lusi carried the noodles out, glanced out the window, listened to the unknown rumbling noises coming from outside, and finally felt a sense of reality.
To be honest, today was indeed quite thrilling... when he left in the morning, he really didn’t expect it to be this exciting.
Yet, speaking of being tense, he wasn’t particularly nervous.
Clearly, four people died at his hands...
Perhaps he’s suited for this line of work?
Chen Lusi put down the noodles and finally pondered Xia Yue’s proposal.
The glances just now proved that Xia Yue’s words were not unfounded.
The Authority Ability not being recorded... this kind of situation seemed quite troublesome indeed.
Leaving the Celestial Strategy Mansion or joining another team...
Chen Lusi considered while eating his noodles.
But even after finishing the noodles, he hadn’t reached a conclusion.
He wasn’t keen on going to another team, given that he was even less familiar with them.
As for leaving... he needed money, though he could earn it in other ways, like writing, which he had neglected.
But it’s really not easy to make money.
And Lin Ying...
Chen Lusi leaned on the sofa, looking at the ceiling, hesitated for a while, and decided to wait and see.
This kind of thing... is indeed difficult to decide quickly; let’s see how things go tomorrow.
Shaking his head, he then took the bowl and walked to the kitchen.
Outside.
The rumbling continued until past ten o’clock at night before stopping.
Although Chen Lusi was quite tired during the day, probably due to napping on the metro, coupled with the noise outside, he wasn’t sleepy at all.
He could only watch mindless short videos.
Midnight.
Finally feeling slightly sleepy...
Chen Lusi put down his phone, turned off the screen.
But he didn’t sleep soundly, remaining somewhat awake, not knowing how much time had passed... suddenly, a streak of white appeared beside him.
Chen Lusi noticed it, his sleepiness instantly vanished.
He slowly opened his eyes and found a little girl in a white dress standing nearby, pointing towards the door, not sure who she was indicating to.
On the other side.
The little girl seemed to notice Chen Lusi’s unusualness, slowly turned her head, and looked at him with dark eyes, then turned to leave.
"Wait."
Chen Lusi abruptly sat up, lifted her by the armpits, and hoisted her up.
The little girl: "..."
"Who exactly are you? Why can’t my Authority Ability be recorded? And where have you been all this time?"
Chen Lusi looked at the little girl’s doll-like cute face and asked three questions in succession.
"..."
The little girl quietly stared at him, not speaking or struggling.
Chen Lusi looked at her... a hazy white long dress, a doll-like delicate face, long black silky hair almost reaching her ankles, no shoes, her small white feet dangling in mid-air.
Because she had no expression and wasn’t moving at all.
She really seemed like a doll.
"What were you just doing?"
Chen Lusi pondered and asked again.
The little girl still didn’t speak, her dark eyes didn’t even move.
"..."
Chen Lusi had no choice but to step aside so her small white feet could rest on the sofa, releasing her.
"... Never mind if you can’t answer."
Chen Lusi looked at the quiet little girl standing on the sofa now: "But can’t you stop popping up out of nowhere?... And remember to wear shoes, aren’t you cold?"
"..." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
The little girl stared at Chen Lusi for a while with her dark eyes, then facing him... shook her head slightly.
Chen Lusi, seeing her movement, was a bit surprised: "You understand... No, you understood all along."
The little girl: "..."
With a testing mindset, Chen Lusi asked, "So can you answer my questions? Writing them down works too."
No response.
Chen Lusi thought for a moment and continued to ask, "Then can you tell me your name?"
"..."
This time.
The little girl finally moved, raising her white arm and pressing a cool hand on Chen Lusi’s forehead.
And the next second.
Chen Lusi lost consciousness.
...
The next day.
When Chen Lusi woke up, he found himself lying on the ground.
He rubbed his neck, sat up, and looked around, feeling a bit helpless.
Chen Lusi still didn’t understand who she was, not even knowing her name...
But just as he thought of this... he noticed a piece of white paper on the table, with a pen placed beside it.
Chen Lusi was certain these things weren’t there last night.
"So... is this a hint for me to think?"
Looking at the white paper, Chen Lusi paused for a moment and softly asked.
