My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 87 - 80: Fear (3/5)

Chen Lusi asked the question.

Amidst an eerie silence.

In the distance.

Beside the car.

Xia Panqiu groggily woke up, and the moment she regained consciousness, she immediately propped up her head and looked in the direction of Chen Lusi.

Then, she was stunned.

Chen Lusi had Feng Zhen in a chokehold, lifting him up with one hand.

And the once arrogant Feng Zhen was now flailing his legs, struggling like a drowning fish.

She looked at Chen Lusi’s back, came to her senses, and couldn’t help but softly sniff.

...Truly impressive.

On the other side.

Chen Lusi, gripping Feng Zhen’s neck, watched him quietly after asking his question.

But no answer came.

Feng Zhen convulsed, suddenly stretched out his one remaining hand, gripping Chen Lusi’s wrist tightly, the tears on his face filled with rage, confusion, fear, and pleading, entangled with hatred.

Why didn’t anyone tell him... that the Xia Yue team had someone like this?

Why.

"......"

"Begging for mercy?"

Chen Lusi looked at him, his azure eyes devoid of emotion: "So the so-called ’Self’ and faith are so cheap? Or is this just survival instinct? Then why, when you were casually insulting my two teammates as sows and bastards, didn’t you think that they too wanted to live?"

"Or is it that you’re afraid of death? Then why do you treat the dead as mere puppets without shame? If you fear death, why insult the dead?"

"......"

Feng Zhen gripped Chen Lusi’s wrist even tighter, watching as Chen Lusi remained calm even now, the fear covering his entire face.

He struggled even more fiercely, fear and desperation mixing on his face, wanting to say something, yet unable to utter a word.

"So you only show such a disgraceful expression... I thought someone who called others domesticated pigs would be different."

"In the end... it’s just arrogance."

"Truly repugnant."

"You make me feel physically disgusted."

"And also..."

Chen Lusi looked at him, shook his head, then slowly lifted the knife, paused, and said softly: "You’re worthless."

His voice wasn’t loud.

But it was clearly heard by Feng Zhen.

Feng Zhen suddenly stopped struggling, as if hearing the most insulting word of his life, eyes wide open, mouth agape, trying his hardest to speak.

But before he could.

Chen Lusi suddenly let go of his hand... and then, a flash of cold light.

Feng Zhen’s head flew off directly.

In the end, he couldn’t refute Chen Lusi’s words.

...died with his eyes wide open.

"Ah!!!"

Feng Zhen’s head flew off, hit the ground, and rolled a few times.

A scream suddenly rang out.

The Mirror Ghost, seeing Feng Zhen’s eyes staring directly at him, screamed, ignoring his blood-soaked arms, and turned to dive into the mirror.

Chen Lusi’s azure gaze swept across the mirror.

Then, he vanished instantly from where he stood.

Technique—’Chong’

The Mirror Ghost kept moving through the mirrors, frantically using his Authority Ability without care for his life.

Feng Zhen is dead?

Feng Zhen just died like that?

Feng Zhen, stronger than Lu Hao in combat, died just like that?

Killed by someone bleeding?

What kind of monster was that really!!!

I shouldn’t have come! I really shouldn’t have come!!!

The more the Mirror Ghost thought, the stronger the fear on his face became, and his speed increased.

Soon.

He left the elementary school behind.

Beyond that was the main highway.

Due to traffic control, there were no more mirrors nearby.

He could only reveal his true form and continue sprinting on his legs.

The only thought on his mind was.

Run!!!

"I have a question for you too..."

"Don’t you find it shameful to come after a teenage elementary student?"

But before the Mirror Ghost could run far, he heard that voice as calm as a wail from hell.

His whole body stiffened, slowly raising his head to look at Chen Lusi in the distance.

"I don’t understand... as long as they haven’t done anything wrong, I believe in any situation, no matter the reason, this shouldn’t be done."

Chen Lusi slowly walked towards the halted Mirror Ghost: "Bringing out a teenager, slapping them, and threatening them, don’t you find that shameful?"

"......"

The Mirror Ghost didn’t answer, instead turning to run.

Mirrors, mirrors, where are the mirrors!!!

But he didn’t get far.

Just two steps.

Chen Lusi appeared behind him, pressing his head down hard into the ground.

Bam—

A dull thud sounded.

The Mirror Ghost was pinned to the ground, after a cry of agony, he immediately said: "I am willing to join the Celestial Strategy! I’m willing to hand over the Yellow Springs Fragment! I’m willing to..."

Poof—

Before he could finish talking.

Chen Lusi raised her hand.

The Mirror Ghost’s mouth opened and closed silently, blue blood seeping from his mouth corners, unable to make any sound.

The blade pierced through the top of his head, extending out of his chin, the tip of the knife embedded into the concrete ground.

"Sorry, I don’t wish to work with you."

Chen Lusi replied calmly, then pulled out the blade, slowly stood up, and turned to leave.

"...Chen Lusi?"

But suddenly.

A familiar voice sounded.

Chen Lusi paused, turned around and found a dozen people standing several meters away.

Leading them were Jin Yi and Tian Wencheng, whom she had a brief encounter with before.

They stared in shock at Chen Lusi, whose face was stained with blood, some even pulling out their weapons.

"...Are you alright?"

Jin Yi saw Chen Lusi look up, confirmed he hadn’t mistaken her, then glanced at the corpse on the ground, hesitantly asked, "And the one on the ground is...?"

Not long ago, a massive anomaly activation suddenly erupted.

He realized something was wrong, immediately led his people to head to the elementary school.

But on the way, the continuous emergence of anomaly realms held them in place.

They were all in despair...

But for some unknown reason.

Minutes ago.

All the anomaly realms disappeared simultaneously, leaving only wandering dead.

Very strange.

However, Jin Yi couldn’t care much, seeing the anomaly realms disappear, he immediately led people to the elementary school.

Then.

He saw the scene of Chen Lusi pressing the Mirror Ghost.

Chen Lusi glanced at Jin Yi, didn’t rush to speak.

Instead, she turned around, started taking deep breaths, calming her emotions, until she ensured she was calm, then turned back and softly said, "Self, enemy... I’m in a hurry, sorry."

She replied simply.

After speaking.

She immediately turned and walked away.

At the same time, she took out her phone and made an emergency call, asking them to quickly come to the elementary school, as well as the alley where Wu You was.

On the other side.

Jin Yi, hearing Chen Lusi’s words, was slightly stunned.

When he returned to his senses.

Chen Lusi had disappeared.

He hesitated for a moment, led the others to the Mirror Ghost’s corpse.

Upon seeing the real identity of the Mirror Ghost.

Someone suddenly exclaimed: "Isn’t this... Bian Zhiliang?"

"Bian Zhiliang?" someone unfamiliar asked.

The person who spoke first replied: "The twenty-first ranked member on the bounty list."

"..."

As soon as this was said.

Everyone fell silent.

Ranked twenty-first?

Just got handled like a slaughtered pig?

After a long while.

Jin Yi, shocked, was the first to ask, "Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake? Ranked twenty-first?"

The person who first exclaimed nodded, assuredly said, "I’m sure, I remembered all the names."

"Could there be something even more troublesome?"

Tian Wencheng, standing beside Jin Yi, thought of Chen Lusi, who had just hurriedly left, suddenly his face changed, and he asked.

Jin Yi’s complexion changed too, and he immediately moved forward: "Follow, be ready for battle!"

On the other side.

Chen Lusi returned near the elementary school, her mood completely calm.

Si Yujie’s daughter was still standing quietly in place, head down.

Chen Lusi pondered, approached her, just about to ask if she was alright.

Hearing footsteps, the little girl raised her head, saw clearly that it was Chen Lusi, then suddenly stepped back.

Seeming somewhat afraid.

Chen Lusi was stunned, remembered her state just moments ago, wiped the blood from her face with her arm, then said, "Sorry, I lost control earlier."

After speaking.

She didn’t intend to continue questioning, instead walking towards Xia Panqiu.

The reason she lost control previously, was largely because Xia Panqiu didn’t look well.

But just as Chen Lusi took a step.

The little girl suddenly caught up to her, grabbed her clothes.

Chen Lusi looked back, puzzled.

The little girl, head down, softly asked: "Can you allow me to use Authority? I can make Panqiu feel better."

"...Go ahead."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lusi was somewhat perplexed, but looking at the little girl with her head down, recalling Feng Zhen’s frenzied coercion of her earlier.

She ultimately chose not to question further, but nodded.

Though she didn’t know what the little girl’s Authority Ability was, why it could heal Xia Panqiu, or why it needed her permission.

But these questions could be asked later.

The little girl softly asked: "...Can you turn around?"

Chen Lusi turned around directly.

The little girl took a step forward, moved past Chen Lusi, disappearing from sight.

Then, after two seconds.

"Done."

The little girl’s soft voice sounded again.

Chen Lusi turned around... found that Xia Panqiu had already stood up.
