My Arms Can Turn into Blades

Chapter 537 - 39: Stay Where You Are

On the beach.

The sudden change caught most people off guard.

Especially for the local Empowerers of Lu City.

Li Zheng, who was clearly a teammate, suddenly activated his Authority Ability and simultaneously aimed his gun at Chen Lusi. Not long before, Shu Li, who had been playing around, directly held her sword towards Chen Lusi, and Xia Panqiu even moved closer to Chen Lusi, looking as if she had already taken action...

Everything happened too quickly, without the slightest sign, they all stood dumbfounded in place.

And the follow-up events were even more absurd.

The three of them had just activated their Authority Abilities and were seemingly ready to turn on each other with knives and swords. They were all prepared to intervene... But as Tang Language let out a stern shout, the three of them all put down their weapons, retracted their Authority Abilities, and simultaneously held their heads as though they had just woken up from a nightmare.

So... what exactly happened here?

They hadn’t ruled out the possibility that Li Zheng might have been influenced and controlled by an intruder.

But it didn’t make sense.

Because there were more than just these three people. If we’re talking about strength, Tang Language was stronger than them, and if talking about weakness, they weren’t that weak either. The Security Army behind Li Zheng was weaker in individual strength, so if one wanted to control, it would make more sense to control these people and have them launch a celestial punishment weapon at Chen Lusi.

Why influence only Li Zheng?

So it simply didn’t add up.

But it obviously went beyond mere playfulness, and Li Zheng wasn’t the kind who would joke around like that.

...Something’s not right.

The local Empowerers of Lu City, while considering, instinctively separated Chen Lusi from the Security Army. The Security Army, on their part, instinctively separated their former leader and Chen Lusi.

"What’s wrong with you all?"

As the concerned party, Chen Lusi noticed more details. He glanced at Hank Machado lying on the ground, then frowned slightly, looking towards Xia Panqiu, whose face was difficult to read.

Just now, he saw confusion and struggle on Xia Panqiu’s face.

Even if it didn’t quite fit logically... she was definitely being controlled just now.

"I don’t know either... I seemed to want to kill you just now."

Upon hearing Chen Lusi’s voice, Xia Panqiu lifted her head, bit her soft red lips, then took a deep breath and whispered, "There was a voice inside me constantly telling me to kill you, a voice that seemed to emerge from the depths of the soul, and then I instinctively walked towards you, in that moment I couldn’t even resist."

"A voice inside? What on earth! Are you crazy?"

Tang Language, upon hearing this, widened her beautiful eyes in disbelief and looked at Xia Panqiu, saying, "Back when Chen Lusi was dragged into an illusion dream in Jinling, you were almost in tears from worry, and now you want to kill him?"

Xia Panqiu: "..."

"And even called you a heretic."

On the other side.

Li Zheng didn’t respond to Tang Language but looked towards Chen Lusi, adding, "And when I came back to my senses, I had already activated my Authority Ability... and aimed my gun at you. I can’t even remember when I activated my Authority Ability."

"Me too."

Shu Li nodded vigorously, "It’s like someone gave me an order... no, more like they gave an order to my Authority Ability, it felt really strange."

"..."

Tang Language, upon hearing the two’s additions, finally moved her gaze away from Xia Panqiu and looked at Hank Machado on the ground.

Everyone else also looked over.

Clearly, they all had some suspicion that Hank Machado might be the culprit.

Although it didn’t make much sense.

But the only visible enemies here were the few lying on the ground.

"..."

On the other side.

Chen Lusi was silent after hearing what was said.

He, being like the head of the local Celestial Strategy Mansion in Lu City... had the same thought rise in mind.

This doesn’t seem right.

If it were the Roman Catholic Church individuals, they clearly wouldn’t control these people.

So...

Chen Lusi was silent for a moment, then suddenly took out his phone, scrolled through his contacts, found Si Yujie’s number, and dialed it.

When Chen Lusi was seen dialing.

Everyone else paused their conversation and all looked back at him.

The phone rang a few times and was quickly answered.

Si Yujie, having just finished a call with Ji Xin, received a call from Chen Lusi, so as soon as the call connected, she explained what had happened a while ago to Chen Lusi.

Chen Lusi had the speaker on, so almost everyone present heard it.

When they heard that Si Yujie also had the thought of killing Chen Lusi not long ago... everyone widened their eyes.

Because this meant it wasn’t as simple as the Roman Catholic Church controlling Li Zheng and others... Clearly, this was a much more complicated situation.

Chen Lusi listened quietly, and in the end, didn’t tell Si Yujie what happened there, but just thanked her for urging him to be careful, and then hung up the phone.

And just as he hung up the phone, Ji Xin’s call came in.

"Is there anyone on your end who wants to kill you? I mean other than the enemy."

Once the call connected,

Ji Xin got straight to the point and asked.

Before Chen Lusi could respond,

Tang Language answered directly, "Yes! Just now Xia Panqiu, Li Zheng, Shu Li all wanted to take action against Chen Lusi! Even Si Yujie had thoughts of it, although she didn’t really rush to Chen Lusi... Ji Xin, what’s really going on? Do you know anything? This is too abnormal."

"It’s indeed abnormal."

Ji Xin was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Also, Shanli just had the same thought..."

"Ha!?"

Tang Language’s voice immediately raised.

"Shanli’s Authority Ability ’Qing Nu’, its Source Canon is the Frost Snow Goddess, while Si Yujie’s Authority Ability ’Rushou’, its Source Canon is the ancient mythical character of the same name. As for the people who took action on your side, Shu Li’s Authority Ability ’Dragon Slayer’, its Source Canon is the main prototype Zhao Yu of Erlang God, Li Zheng’s ’Divine Strike’, its Source Canon is Xianggang Gong among the four great kings of Minnan, and for Xia Panqiu, her Authority Ability ’Cloud Ascension’, its Source Canon is an extension of the Ancient System Kunpeng."
