My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 276 - 193: Special Consultant

"Your role is irreplaceable, the Security Army cannot be unaware of this, yet they still chose you, which is related to the Xia Yue mark on you and the good impression you left on the Security Army.

But none of this is decisive. What is decisive is the 'Celestial Punishment' weapon's power, beyond everyone's imagination."

Shan Li heard Chen Lusi's question, organized his words a bit, and then replied, "The Security Army, including many high-level officials, have actually long been tired of the current situation. They desperately need the Security Army to have the power to contend with the Empowerers, without major confrontations, to achieve some sort of balance.

After all, most members of the Celestial Strategy Mansion were ordinary people before, which is too unstable. The gradual growth of 'Self' proves this point.

In such a situation, no high-level official would feel assured about the Celestial Strategy Mansion, because no one is sure if they are nurturing an uncontrollable monster.

Especially given the gem-like precedent set by the Russian Orthodox Church.

Although the situation with the Russian Orthodox Church is quite special, and the probability of replication domestically is very low, it doesn't mean anyone would be willing to take such a risk.

And after Ji Xin Celestial Strategy came to power, she was similarly dissatisfied with the current situation because she also felt that the Celestial Strategy Mansion could no longer remain in such a precarious position.

Not long ago, she sent Li Zheng and others to annihilate the 'First Rider Position', which was actually an attempt, because Li Zheng and others, who became Empowerers while retaining their Security Army identities, were the best breaking point.

Otherwise, with Mount Tai and Yu Zhou accompanying as Celestial companions, it would not matter which brigade's members were sent.

It's only that, in this operation... a more suitable breaking point appeared."

Chen Lusi heard this and was silent for a moment, then asked, "…Celestial Punishment?"

"Yes."

Shan Li nodded: "It's your 'Celestial Punishment' weapon, which is a far more effective breaking tool than having Li Zheng's team become the mainstay of the Celestial Strategy Mansion.

Because it is so strong, especially after being equipped on a large scale, and the Security Army knows your background very well, your condition, personal relationships, reasons for joining the Celestial Strategy Mansion, timelines, and all the things you have done till now.

They actually had it mostly figured out before they even met you, and undoubtedly, in their eyes, you have passed the test. Although you wear the hat of a Celestial Strategy Mansion member, the mark on you is not so strong; even if we take a step back... controlling a member of the Celestial Strategy Mansion is far easier than controlling the entire mansion, compared to the power of the 'Celestial Punishment' weapon, this risk is negligible.

Therefore, the Security Army is willing to choose you, even if there is the risk of possibly being constrained by you.

On the other hand, Ji Xin Celestial Strategy also wants to change the situation of the Celestial Strategy Mansion to eliminate the doubts of the high-level officials. She is willing to let the Security Army and Celestial Strategy Mansion be on equal footing, even allowing them to have powerful firepower that could intimidate the Celestial Strategy Mansion, if this can garner more support and achieve a win-win situation... Of course, the premise is that she has you."

"This is still Ji Xin Celestial Strategy's original words."

Chen Lusi: "..."

Although Shan Li's words were somewhat roundabout, understanding them was not difficult.

But what does the last sentence mean?

"Both sides want to change the status quo, and both sides chose you."

Shan Li continued: "At this moment, you directly bear the expectations of both sides... Ji Xin Celestial Strategy said, you can choose to give up, but she does not recommend it, because once you give up, it means you will disappoint many people. It's okay to disappoint the Celestial Strategy Mansion, but the disappointment at a higher level can be fatal.

Do you remember the Bell? This ancient object can be used on Empowerers whose roots lie in Yellow Springs Mainstream, regardless of whether the Empowerers themselves acknowledge it, this is actually a kind of 'responsibility'. The limitation of where the soul's roots are has existed since birth.

But this ancient object, on the contrary, has no effect on you, this proves your 'responsibility' does not lie here... Ji Xin Celestial Strategy said, don't let yourself become an isolated person before the day comes."

Chen Lusi sensed something, frowned, and asked, "Does Ji Xin know what my Authority Ability is?"

"Unclear."

Shan Li gently shook her head: "I am merely repeating her words."

Chen Lusi: "..."

Shan Li, wearing a black and white maid outfit, paused for a moment, then asked, "May I continue?"

Chen Lusi expressed some helplessness: "Go ahead."

"Of course, this is just one reason, there is another reason."

Shan Li continued: "That is—you are irreplaceable, you don't need to worry about being locked up and forced to modify the Stone day and night, because this is unrealistic, the current domestic stock of Stones cannot support the Security Army to do so, unless one day we can produce Stones artificially... but even then, the Security Army would not be that foolish.

So this is a very simple and easy job for you. Most importantly, precisely because you are irreplaceable, this means that choosing you also represents that you have chosen us, the initiative is actually in your own hands."

Chen Lusi: "..."

"The above is what Ji Xin Celestial Strategy asked me to convey."

Shan Li seemed to have finished speaking, she bowed to Chen Lusi while holding a tray: "Perhaps there are parts I embellished, but there is no deviation in the meaning."

"Thank you."

Chen Lusi was silent for a moment, then expressed thanks.

"You're welcome." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Shan Li gently flicked her ponytail, then suddenly changed the topic: "Is there anything you want to eat?"

Chen Lusi: "No."

"Understood."

Upon hearing this answer, Shan Li nodded, then headed straight to the kitchen.

Chen Lusi did not pay attention to Shan Li but fell into deep thought.
