My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 233 - 179: Awakening

Chen Lusi stood in front of that member.

The other person was covered in bits of flesh and mud. Seeing the outstretched hand of Chen Lusi, he stood dumbfounded for a while before suddenly trembling slightly. Then, he slowly raised the sniper rifle in his hand, passing it forward.

But the speed was extremely slow.

Moreover, during the process of passing it over, his expression changed constantly, with fear, panic, and reluctance intertwining.

Chen Lusi frowned slightly, seeing the other's expression, he directly reached out, intending to take the sniper rifle from the other's hands.

But seeing Chen Lusi reaching out, the other's face contorted, he suddenly took a step back, seemingly realizing something, and shouted: "I will sacrifice for the nation!"

Then.

He directly shouldered the sniper rifle, aiming the muzzle at Chen Lusi.

Anna's expression changed, and she immediately took a step forward.

Some members of the Security Army also had changes in their expressions.

But Chen Lusi did not raise his handgun, he just paused for a moment.

Click—

The trigger was pulled.

The other party was determined to die... but nothing happened.

No brilliant blue energy waves burst at the muzzle. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

No bullet came out of the barrel.

Certainly no laser-like blue beam.

What remained was merely the click of the trigger being pulled.

The member was stunned for a moment, then looked down, unwilling to give up, and pulled the trigger again.

Click, click, click—

Amidst the sound of rain.

The mechanical clinking wasn't obvious.

But for Anna and the others, it was as deafening as a mountain flood burst.

Anna and her subordinates stood there with stunned expressions, frozen in place.

Chen Lusi slightly raised his head, looking at the face of the Chamomile Alliance member ahead of him.

The member who was repeatedly pulling the trigger noticed Chen Lusi's gaze and also noticed his slightly raised handgun.

He immediately stopped pulling the trigger, his knees went soft, and he sat directly onto the ground.

Splash.

The water on the ground splashed beautifully.

He sat on the ground, staring dazedly at Chen Lusi who stood in the rain, holding a gun aimed at him.

Why... was it useless!?

Why when I pull the trigger... is it useless!!!???

"..."

Chen Lusi glanced at the member on the ground, then turned his head, looking towards Li Zheng.

The meaning was clear.

What does this mean?

"...Our ally here wants to betray us."

Li Zheng simply replied: "Yu Zhou and I will handle it."

Hearing this, Chen Lusi was silent for a moment, then nodded, bent down, and picked up the sniper rifle from the ground.

This time, the other didn't cling to the sniper rifle anymore; instead, he scrambled backward.

Chen Lusi ignored him and turned around to leave. As he passed Anna, he casually turned his head to glance at the 'Saint' she carried.

Seemingly aware of Chen Lusi's gaze.

The Saint immediately began to sway left and right... as if wanting to detach from Anna.

While Anna looked at the handgun in Chen Lusi's hand, maintaining her posture of stepping forward, her face pale without a hint of blood.

Useless...

Others using it... and it's useless...?

...Why?

Anna was utterly confused, only feeling fear.

Once.

She had heard a name from some veterans' mouths — Xia Yue.

They all felt intense fear towards that name, even though the person was not around, even though they hadn't seen the person in action for over a decade, even though the Celestial Strategy Mansion had become a nominal ally.

They still felt fear, and that fear was deep-seated in their bones.

Anna once really couldn't understand.

She didn't understand why these people were so scared since in her mind, as long as the other was still human, there was a chance to catch up, to deal with.

As long as the other was human, there was no need to be scared.

Until just now... she always thought this way.

But as Chen Lusi's gaze fell on the 'Saint', and it even wanted to shake her off, the coldness that seeped into the marrow made her finally understand the feelings of those veterans.

Abilities that cannot be fathomed, overpowering combat strength beyond ordinariness, incomprehensible everything... all of these imprint a nearly impossible-to-eradicate mark deep in the heart.

And that mark... is named fear.

"..."

Chen Lusi actually just glanced at the thing Anna was carrying. He wasn't interested in corpses; he quickly withdrew his gaze and walked slowly to Xia Panqiu's side.

At this moment, Xia Panqiu also recovered from her bewildered state. Seeing Chen Lusi's figure, she roughly guessed that the situation was resolved...

Noticing Chen Lusi approaching her, perhaps due to shyness or unease.

In any case, she slowly lowered her head, not daring to look at him again.

Chen Lusi came in front of Xia Panqiu, remained silent for a moment, and suddenly reached out to grasp her shoulder-length wet hair, gently pulling it back, forcing her to lift her head and asked: "...Are you stupid?"

Xia Panqiu was forced to look up at Chen Lusi.

Due to the rain, her pair of dark eyes were wet, her red lips slightly parted, her face carrying a hint of surprise.

Chen Lusi looked at her face covered with raindrops and continued asking: "No matter how you think about it, I have a higher chance of escaping from the Anomaly Realm than you, didn't you think there was a chance you might not make it out of the Anomaly Realm?"

Xia Panqiu finally came to her senses, her eyes evasive.

Chen Lusi held her long hair, patiently waiting.

Xia Panqiu's eyes darted around for a while, realizing she couldn't avoid it, she bit her red lips, resolutely replied: "I'm just stupid, I just didn't want to let you face the Anomaly Realm alone like before, I promised you."

"..."

Hearing this, Chen Lusi remained silent for a moment, gently shook his head, and once again tugged at her wet hair behind her head: "Idiot."
