My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 293 - 199: The Last One Standing

"Calm down."

In front of the palace wall.

Chen Lusi remained silent for a moment, but finally spoke up.

However, Li Zheng was still frantic.

The recent anomaly seemed to affect not only Ma Bo but also him.

He was particularly furious. Hearing what Chen Lusi said, instead of calming down, he turned directly and rushed to an 'Indigenous person,' reaching out to grab them, while shouting, "What the hell is this place!?"

Undoubtedly.

His hand passed through the 'Indigenous person's body, unable to touch them at all.

The individual went on their own way and left.

But Li Zheng was unwilling to give up and still wanted to grab the person.

"..."

Chen Lusi watched the agitated Li Zheng and directly pulled out the Celestial Punishment Pistol from his waist.

And with the drawing of the Celestial Punishment Pistol.

All the Indigenous People once again seemed to freeze as if stuck, suddenly pausing in place, and then sharply turning their heads to look at Chen Lusi.

Even the pulsating palace halted, as if casting its gaze upon Chen Lusi.

Li Zheng saw the 'Indigenous person' in front of him suddenly stop, staring intently at Chen Lusi. He was stunned for a moment and finally came to his senses.

He slowly turned his head and looked over at Chen Lusi.

"Calmed down yet?"

Chen Lusi said calmly, "If not, I can keep the gun pointed, making them stop for you to try a few more times."

"..."

Li Zheng didn't speak, but rather lowered his head and reached up to rub his temples.

At this moment.

Zhou Jian and the others finally reacted, walking towards Li Zheng, and asked with a frown, "Boss?"

Li Zheng still didn't respond, rubbing his temples, only lifting his head after a long while, looked at Chen Lusi, and asked, "Have I also been affected?"

"Yes."

Chen Lusi nodded and gave a clear answer, then continued, "So tell me, what were you just thinking?"

"...You put away the Celestial Punishment Pistol first."

Li Zheng glanced around at the Indigenous People, who were once again frozen, not responding immediately, but reminded Chen Lusi, "I'm not sure this won't provoke them, and if you get affected, it's over."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lusi thought for a moment, put away the Celestial Punishment Pistol, and then walked towards Li Zheng.

The Indigenous People around came back to life again.

But Li Zheng didn't rush to respond to Chen Lusi but looked at Zhou Jian in front of him and directly asked, "Have you felt affected?"

"Me?"

Zhou Jian was stunned by this, then replied, "No."

Li Zheng continued, "Then let me ask you, at the moment when you saw Ma Bo running away, what did you think of? Besides being shocked."

"Besides being shocked?"

Zhou Jian furrowed his brow upon hearing this, thought carefully, "Seems like... nothing..."

Li Zheng remained silent for a moment, suddenly said, "Then I'll visit at your residence."

Zhou Jian instinctively responded, "Alright... but why bring this up suddenly?"

"..."

Li Zheng didn't speak and began rubbing his temples again.

Zhou Jian looked at Li Zheng in some confusion... immediately afterward, possibly because Li Zheng's question had triggered something, a sudden change came over his face.

At this moment.

Li Zheng once again lifted his head, looking at Zhou Jian, and pressed him, "So why did you call your place a residence, what residence? Zhou Residence?"

"..."

Zhou Jian pressed his palms against his temples, finally noticing the anomaly, "Wait... not right... something's off... It's like I thought of something at that time, but my perception seemed to be altered, and I actually thought it made sense.

I looked at my own clothes and thought... back then, I thought… someone like me in this era would certainly have a good father, could have multiple wives and concubines, could indulge in debauchery, and thought the palace maids were really beautiful... damn!"

Zhou Jian spoke out his thoughts intermittently.

Then, at the end, suddenly shouted, lifting his head sharply, looking at Li Zheng in disbelief.

On the other side.

Chen Lusi, who was walking towards them, also heard.

After hearing Zhou Jian's words, Li Zheng looked at Chen Lusi who had approached, sighed, "I'm the same. After thinking about it... I was inexplicably infuriated, not just because Ma Bo ran off, but... I suddenly felt like I had lost a lot of money. I don't know why this thought suddenly came to me; I've never gambled in my life... but I just felt like I lost a lot of money, and then I got extremely angry, irrationally angry."

Chen Lusi: "..."

"What's going on here?"

Zhou Jian turned his head back, as someone who had first entered the Anomaly Realm.

It's evident the situation was now completely beyond his understanding.

In fact, it wasn't just him.

This was also beyond Chen Lusi's understanding.

Because he had never encountered such an Anomaly Realm… the only advantage he had, in fact, was having experienced more Anomaly Realms and being able to stay calm.

"...it's probably altered perception."

Chen Lusi, eyeing Zhou Jian, who was encountering this situation for the first time, hesitated for a moment and voiced his hypothesis, "Unnoticeably altering your perception, memory, even personality, and gradually intensifying until you completely become another person.

Just like Ma Bo earlier… I didn't initially understand why he was looking toward the north, but after hearing what he said just now, I more or less got it; he probably vaguely felt there was someone important waiting for him to the north.

At the beginning, the perception might not have been strong; he most likely didn't notice anything unusual, but as time went by, the related thoughts increased more and more.

In the end, those memories and perceptions that didn't belong to him dominated; he completely became another person, perhaps someone who truly existed in history, truly becoming part of this place."
