My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 59 - 53: Thread

"Why are you all looking at me?"

Chen Lu thought for a moment and suddenly noticed everyone was looking at him, so he asked in confusion.

Wu You chuckled awkwardly, "Do you have any ideas?"

"What ideas could I possibly have? I can’t even figure out what this is."

Chen Lusi looked at Wu You in surprise, then continued, "For example, isn’t it said that Activation grants others Authority? Then why were you all hung up? What does this count as?"

"This also counts as a gift."

Jin Yi was silent for a moment, looked towards the five corpses, and replied, "The Authority brought by the legend of Activation is a gift, the Ancient Objects it brings are gifts, the death it brings... is also a gift.

The legend of Activation doesn’t necessarily grant Authority to others, it might also bring death."

"... Then does the ’legend’ have its own thoughts?"

Upon hearing that, Chen Lusi thought of the lifelike five impostors.

"Not uncommon."

Jin Yi whispered, "Especially with these kinds of horror-tinged supernatural legends, after all, one of the most important elements of ghost stories is the resentment from life."

Chen Lusi hesitated, "...I thought someone was controlling these dead."

Upon hearing this, Jin Yi stated decisively, "Impossible. From the fact that we were hung, this has already become nearly an unsolvable rule, known Authority finds it hard to achieve this."

"I see."

Chen Lusi nodded without saying more.

Because he had a hunch... he felt the recent impostors were being controlled by someone.

Because the fake Jin Yi was just too human-like.

But he had no evidence.

And since the professionals said so, he didn’t argue.

Let’s see how things develop next.

"What should we do now?"

Peng Wanyong looked at the corpses in the distance, although still somewhat calm, the recent brush with death left him with lingering fear. Seeing no one moving, he couldn’t help but urge.

"We can only find the source again."

Jin Yi said slowly, "Without finding the source, we can’t resolve the problem."

"..."

Upon hearing the words to find the source.

Peng Wanyong’s mouth twitched.

Just now, they found themselves hanged when seeking the source...

Seek again?

Jin Yi noticed Peng Wanyong’s expression, felt a bit embarrassed, and could only look at Chen Lusi.

"Let me check the rooms this time."

Chen Lu thought for a moment and suggested, "Every time I enter a room, I’ll fire a shot first. If I don’t fire, then I’ve been swapped. If I fire and Wu You can’t hear my thoughts, it also means I’ve been swapped. You guys act accordingly... how about it?"

All five felt a lingering fear.

Letting them do such a task again was indeed unfair...

"Thank you for your hard work."

Jin Yi adjusted his glasses, finding this was the best way after all...

After all, in the previous round, only Chen Lusi wasn’t hung up.

Plus, having witnessed the slaughter... he indeed felt that letting the newcomer handle this was most appropriate.

After all, he couldn’t just fire on command... but Chen Lusi could.

"Let’s go."

Chen Lusi checked the gun in his hand and walked forward first.

"Be careful."

Xia Panqiu tugged at his clothes.

Chen Lusi nodded and continued walking forward, with the others following closely behind.

Then.

Everything seemed to replay itself.

Chen Lusi led the group, arriving at the first room, then stopped and looked at Jin Yi.

Jin Yi whispered, "This is the room where I saw the corpse."

"Then you all wait here."

Leaving a word, Chen Lusi took a step forward, turned around, and without caring what’s inside, fired a shot first.

Bang——

The shell flew out.

Through the thin smoke, Chen Lusi clearly saw the scene inside the room.

In the dim room, a pair of pale and stained feet were dangling in mid-air.

The spark from the bullet exiting the barrel briefly illuminated the room.

This allowed Chen Lusi to see the owner of those feet.

It was a girl, seemingly in her twenties, not particularly good-looking.

After all, being hanged, no matter how good-looking one was, they wouldn’t look good hanging.

In essence.

This girl was no different from the five outside.

Chen Lusi didn’t look at her face but instead looked at the rope from which she hung.

The originally white thick rope, near the girl’s neck, was covered in dark red stains... that was blood and flesh.

This, combined with the girl’s scarred hands, easily evokes a scene—

Before death.

Something went wrong, she didn’t die immediately.

The suffocation pain caused her to instinctively reach for the rope, but no matter how she struggled, her palms were skinned, yet she couldn’t escape, only leaving dark red stains on the rope, ultimately dying painfully.

Truly miserable...

Chen Lusi gazed at the white hemp rope that hanged the girl.

On the other side. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Wu You, hearing Chen Lusi’s thoughts, asked in surprise, "...You found it just like that?"

Chen Lusi snapped back to his senses, just about to speak.

But suddenly...

A cold sensation came from his right palm, like being held by the little girl.

Then, his right hand suddenly lost control, twisting with flesh, and directly formed a blade!

"..."

Chen Lusi noticed his right arm uncontrollably turned into a knife, stunned for a moment.

He raised his right hand, with doubt, just about to examine his hand, when he saw a faint thin line above the hanged girl’s head...

...

"Enough... the goal has been achieved, leave the hook, let them out."

Sun Rensheng’s house.

The voice from who knows where sounded again: "You’ve failed, stop struggling."

"I don’t need you to teach me!"

Sun Rensheng impatiently retorted, seeming in a foul mood.

Then.

He extended his hand and pulled it back fiercely.

With his pull.

The thin lines extending from his palm instantly tightened.

"Also, I didn’t fail! It’s just that bitch’s resentment isn’t strong enough."

While recovering the Authority, Sun Rensheng furiously said, "And that Chen Lusi is such an idiot! Just wait, someday I’ll show him what fear really means."

Things didn’t go as he planned, angering him greatly.

"... On the day of the Burst, if you can trap him, the price will be as we discussed before, if you can kill him, the price will double."

The unknown voice paused, then continued: "If you can get him to join ’Self,’ I’ll give you three times."

Upon hearing this, Sun Rensheng, annoyed, said, "What do you mean?"

"Exactly what it sounds like."

The voice was calm: "He’s worth that price. Of course, I won’t place all my hopes on you alone; I’ll have someone specifically deal with him in case you can’t stop him."

"Coward... A mere Incarnation Stage Empowerer scares you so much."

Sun Rensheng scoffed directly: "Prepare the two payments, if I can’t play him to death next time! I’ll take your last name!"

"..."

The unknown voice didn’t sound again, offering no response.

Because its goal had already been achieved.

Xia Yue, Si Yujie, Wu You, Xia Panqiu... Chen Lusi.

If it weren’t for today’s event, the unstable factor that is Chen Lusi might indeed have caused significant trouble.

Even though Chen Lusi is merely an Incarnation Stage Empowerer.

After all, the unexpected tends to come from those who don’t play by the rules.

However, now that the details of this unstable factor are known, the situation is different.

Everything is clear.

Regardless of whether Sun Rensheng can stop Wu You and the others in the end... it makes no difference.

Already as good as dead.

...

In the basement of the mall.

Chen Lusi lowered his right arm, looking at the line above the girl’s head, hesitated for a moment, but still stepped into the room.

Wu You and the others were taken aback.

Before they could react.

Chen Lusi had already come in front of the girl.

And the thin line above her head was becoming increasingly thin over time, seeming about to disappear.

Chen Lusi looked at the line, then at his right arm turned blade, and took a few steps back.

Took a run-up.

Leapt up.

Chen Lusi jumped high, raised his right arm, and gently swung at the fading line.

No sound at all.

At the moment the line snapped.

Chen Lusi’s figure, suspended in the air, stiffened, his expression suddenly becoming dazed.

And in that daze... he seemed to see the girl’s appearance before death.
