My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 264 - 189: This Is What You Meant by Some People Coming to Observe?

It's just... Chen Lusi always felt like she had awakened something.

...Very strange.

...

June 21st.

Chen Lusi appeared at the airport, formally preparing to head to the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters.

This time, Wu You, Xia Panqiu, Shu Li, and the others were not coming along.

Because this time it wasn't a mission, and it had nothing to do with them.

[Be careful on your way. I'll stay by Lin Wan's side, don't worry.]

Terminal.

Chen Lusi took one last look at the message sent by Lin Ying, replied, and then put away her phone.

Beside her.

Zhou Jian saw him put away his phone and immediately said, "You mentioned yesterday that the Security Army following you will protect Miss Lin Wan. I checked it out, and it has been approved from above."

"Thank you."

Chen Lusi paused upon hearing this, then thanked him.

"But I'm actually quite curious."

Zhou Jian hesitated for a moment, then asked, "I want to ask you a question, do you mind?"

"What?"

"As far as I know, Lin Wan and Lin Ying aren't related to you by blood, right?"

"No."

"Then..."

Zhou Jian smiled mischievously and asked, "Why are you going to such lengths? Are you in love?"

"..."

Chen Lusi was silent for a moment upon hearing this, thought deeply for a bit, then suddenly looked at the screen above, directly changing the subject: "It's almost time, let's go."

Zhou Jian: "..."

He looked at Chen Lusi's back, couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

The difference is really big.

The difference between combat and everyday behavior.

But he didn't think further and quickly stood up to head towards the ticket gate with Chen Lusi.

Three and a half hours later.

Noon.

Chen Lusi successfully arrived at the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters.

However, unlike the bustling time when the Monkey Anomaly Realm was open, today it was particularly quiet at the headquarters.

Along the way, Chen Lusi and Zhou Jian only encountered a few members.

And most of them seemed to hold administrative positions.

Zhou Jian noticed Chen Lusi's slight confusion and explained, "I've heard that the activation of legends in Jinling has been increasing recently, and the local Celestial Strategy Mansion members are having trouble coping, so Headquarters has transferred some people over there as well.

Our boss said that Ji Xin Celestial Strategy also went over there recently because something didn't seem right."

"Jinling?"

Chen Lusi mused, then said, "Didn't you mention a few days ago that I needed to go to Jinling? To test the effectiveness of the 'Tip' weapon I control on anomalies?"

"Yes, but there's no rush."

Zhou Jian acknowledged and replied, "No matter how effective the 'Tip' weapon you control is against anomalies, we can accept it, because its effectiveness against empowerers has been verified, and that's already impressive."

Chen Lusi did not respond, only nodding slightly.

The two took the elevator and soon reached the twentieth floor.

"Please sit here for a moment, I'll go notify our boss."

Zhou Jian brought Chen Lusi to a reception room, then hurriedly left.

As Chen Lusi watched Zhou Jian leave, he thought for a moment before taking out his phone to open the group chat.

The Celestial Strategy Mansion group chat had endless messages every day.

But Chen Lusi rarely checked them.

Because to him, being the topic of others' conversations wasn't interesting.

But just a few days ago, because of the news related to the First Rider Position and the black market, he saw his name mentioned in the chat almost every day.

So later, he simply stopped checking it.

After a few days of venting, though.

His colleagues finally seemed to stop discussing him; the conversations no longer revolved around whether he killed the bishop or slept with a girl from the Russian Orthodox Church...

Now the group chat was discussing... topics related to Jinling.

[Damn! I just ran into a girl in ancient costume on the street, thought it was cosplay, but she suddenly started crying and tried to wrap White Silk around my head! Luckily, I reacted quickly and kicked her away! Otherwise, I'd be done for!]

[Now in Jinling, you can encounter activated legends just walking a few steps... something's definitely wrong, right?]

[Who doesn't know something's wrong, but what's the issue exactly!?]

[I heard there was a big commotion at Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum last night?]

[Don't mention it... warhorses and chariots, dream back to ancient battle camps! You have no idea what it's like seeing a cavalry charge at you at midnight, seriously, if I didn't know I was in a scenic spot, I'd think there was a camera crew nearby.]

[It's so freaking eerie, even though it was already eerie... but why does it feel like all the relics related to Great Ming have come alive?]

[Kunlun! Kunlun, come and explain!]

[They also went to Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum yesterday, but I heard they're still researching.]

[Damn! Always researching, never figuring anything out!]

[...]

Chen Lusi glanced over and found the situation indeed quite tricky.

But it shouldn't have reached an uncontrollable level... after all, these people still had the mood to chat and joke in the group.

Knock, knock—

At this moment.

The sound of knocking came suddenly.

Chen Lusi withdrew his gaze from the phone screen, glanced at the closed door, and thought for a moment: "Come in."

The door was pushed open.

But the person who walked in wasn't Zhou Jian; instead, it was a somewhat familiar woman.

Chen Lusi looked at the tall woman with a high ponytail, estimating her height to be above one meter ninety, taller than him by a fair margin, and frowned slightly.

"My name is Shan Li."

The woman noticed Chen Lusi's gaze, bowed her head slightly, and introduced herself.

No expression could be seen on her face, not even during her self-introduction, making it hard to discern any emotional fluctuations.
