My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 171 - 156: Mirror Flower Water Moon (6700)_2
Even standing in the shadows, he still had his own shadow.
But it wasn’t very distinct.
Because the shadow he cast was perfectly surrounded by the shadow of the tall building, the two merging together, like a single piece of shadow.
As he moved.
The shadows adjusted almost imperceptibly, ensuring not to touch his shadow, yet making him believe he was in the shadow.
If it weren’t for Lin Wan’s reminder, he might never have noticed.
And this was the source of the ’strangeness’ he felt last night.
He stood in the shadows, yet he could still cast a shadow.
So at least one shadow was fake.
Chen Lusi didn’t think his shadow was fake.
"Chen Lusi?"
Tang Language saw Chen Lusi activate his Authority Ability and asked hesitantly, "Did you discover something?"
At those words, Chen Lusi walked directly toward Tang Language.
Tang Language watched as Chen Lusi, whose arm turned into a blade, walked toward him and frowned slightly, unsure of his intentions.
But when she saw Chen Lusi take just one step and suddenly turn his head and slash the blade towards the ground,
she became even more puzzled.
However, someone who witnessed this turned pale.
And the next second.
"Eeeeeee———"
A shriek! Suddenly rang out!
Immediately, the shadow cast by the tall building, due to blocking the light, shrank back like a living thing, then stood up as if it had substance.
...The shadow cast by the tall building was alive.
Tang Language’s pupils contracted as she instantly moved in front of Chen Lusi, raising her hand.
But the standing shadow cried out in pain and lunged forward, passing right through Tang Language.
By the time Chen Lusi drew his blade and looked up, the standing shadow was already in front of him.
"..."
Chen Lusi looked ahead, saw no sign of Shu Li and others, thought Xia Panqiu and the others might be in the shadows, and did not swing his blade, allowing it to lunge at him.
Chen Lusi was instantly engulfed by the shadow and disappeared.
And the shadow that had stood up, as Chen Lusi vanished, melted like liquid into the ground, returning to its original place.
Tang Language slowly turned her head, staring wide-eyed at the empty space behind her.
...
...
The streetlights flickered on.
In the alleyway.
A group slowly emerged from the shadows.
Xia Panqiu, Wu You... and Chen Lusi trailing at the back of the group.
"What do you want to eat?"
Shu Li reached the bustling street, slowed down, and came to the back of the group to ask Chen Lusi.
"..."
Chen Lusi glanced at her, after a moment of silence, didn’t answer, but turned to observe his surroundings.
This was undoubtedly the place he had just been.
But the timing was off.
"Let’s eat Hunan cuisine."
Shu Li, seeing Chen Lusi say nothing, looked towards the nearest Hunan restaurant and went in with the group.
Ordering dishes.
Serving food.
Serving rice.
The group began to devour the food, just like before.
Only this time... there was one more person.
Chen Lusi sat between Xia Panqiu and Wu You, not touching his chopsticks, despite the steam rising from the delicious-looking food.
But with no fragrance at all, it indeed didn’t stimulate the appetite.
"Why aren’t you eating?"
At this moment, Wu You, sitting beside Chen Lusi, noticed his odd behavior and curiously asked.
Chen Lusi turned to look at Wu You’s face, sniffed gently, then frowned slightly and asked back, "What are we doing here?"
"Doing what?"
Wu You paused for a moment, "Eating, what else?"
Chen Lusi remained silent for a moment, "Got it."
Wu You helplessly shook his head and continued to devour his meal.
But Chen Lusi still didn’t touch his chopsticks, he thought for a moment, and looked towards Xia Panqiu, who was holding chopsticks.
Xia Panqiu noticed the gaze, slowly turned her head, her cute little face showing some confusion, "What’s wrong?"
Chen Lusi leaned forward, also sniffed lightly, then asked, "Is it good?"
Xia Panqiu gently shook her head, glanced at the dishes on the table, "Not really."
Chen Lusi looked at her face and replied, "Of course it’s not good, haven’t you noticed? These dishes have no aroma."
"Aroma?"
A moment of struggle flashed across Xia Panqiu’s face, then she said, "Dishes having aroma?"
Chen Lusi asked in return, "What’s the characteristic of Hunan cuisine?"
Xia Panqiu was stunned for a moment, then her beautiful eyes widened as she looked at Chen Lusi, just about to speak.
But couldn’t open her mouth.
The shadow flipped again.
The Hunan restaurant disappeared.
The bustling street.
A group slowly emerged from the shadows.
Chen Lusi appeared at the back of the group.
In the same position.
"What do you want to eat?"
Shu Li slowed her pace, coming to the back of the group, and asked Chen Lusi again.
But before Chen Lusi could speak.
Xia Panqiu slowly spoke the words she was about to say, "You decide."
"Then let’s eat Hunan cuisine."
Shu Li heard this, looked towards the nearest Hunan restaurant, and went straight inside with the group.
The initial scenes replayed, Shu Li and others mechanically moved forward like robots executing a program.
Chen Lusi watched Shu Li and others head towards the Hunan restaurant, remained silent for a moment, gently smoothed his ponytail behind his head, then placed his hand in front of his face.
After pondering for a while, he followed them.
...Although he found the people.
How to escape was still a problem.
The group arrived at the Hunan restaurant again.
The process was repeated.
And then, once, twice, three times, four times...
Every time began on the way to the restaurant, and every time ended with the last person putting down their bowl and chopsticks after dinner.
Time seemed to be cut short.
The people present stayed in this dining time, continuously looping.
