My Arms Can Turn into Blades

This was the first time Shanli... saw such obvious anger on Chen Lusi’s face.

She had known Chen Lusi for quite some time.

And they had weathered not a few storms together.

Although they rarely fought side by side, as Ji Xin’s secretary, she often cleaned up the aftermath.

And as the one to clean up, he had witnessed many instances where Chen Lusi was nearly out of control.

But most of the time, even when he was out of control, he was calm, not overly exposing his emotions, even in that brutal public prosecution, based on the situation on the scene, his anger was well-concealed.

Just like a volcano on the verge of eruption, intensely powerful but almost silent when it erupts.

Compared to that suffocating, scorching burst.

His entire demeanor could be described as cold as iron.

But at this moment.

Shanli finally saw another side of Chen Lusi.

Also like a volcano about to erupt.

But this time, Chen Lusi didn’t hide the force before the volcanic eruption, instead, he exposed it directly.

That strong oppressive force rushed forward.

At this moment.

Zhou Jian and Zhuoli even couldn’t help but step back.

Shanli’s body also tensed up, not knowing what to say for a moment.

The only one who could still remain calm was probably Lin Ying.

She held Chen Lusi’s hand, lifted her snow-white chin slightly, and gently advised, "Chen Lusi, this is the Goryeo Branch, not the Yellow Springs Mainstream, Aunt can’t be here."

"..."

Chen Lusi felt the cold and soft touch from the palm of his hand, and upon hearing Lin Ying’s voice, he finally noticed... the strange expressions on Shanli and the others not far away.

He came back to his senses, then immediately reined in the emotions and restless spirit he had displayed.

He reverted back to the reserved Chen Lusi.

Chen Lusi looked at Zhuoli, remained silent for a moment, then asked, "Mr. Zhuoli, what is the Heart Image you mentioned earlier?"

Zhuoli looked at the now normal Chen Lusi... somewhat dazed.

The scene just now felt like an illusion, but the lingering fear from the depths of his soul told him.

It was no illusion.

Before him, this Chen Lusi, no matter how reserved he appeared ordinarily, an undeniable fact remained.

He is now the most powerful force in the Celestial Strategy Mansion after Xia Yue.

Noticing Zhuoli’s lack of response, Chen Lusi reminded, "Mr. Zhuoli."

"...Heart Image."

Zhuoli snapped back to reality and quickly explained, "You could understand it as a kind of trace mechanism in Yellow Springs. Everyone who enters Yellow Springs, whether a living person or a deceased, will leave traces. You could say the entire Yellow Springs is constructed from the memories of the dead.

The city we just stayed in was a memory of the dead, and what you saw just now... might have been as well.

The Heart Image doesn’t count as real.

But to some extent, it does represent certain true thoughts deep within that person’s heart."

Speaking of this.

Zhuoli hesitated for a moment, glanced at Chen Lusi, and then continued, "When living persons enter the Yellow Springs, they too will leave a Heart Image, which might already be there at the moment you enter, waiting silently in some corner, waiting to be triggered.

Usually, this kind of Heart Image isn’t threatening; it only gets triggered by specific persons or events.

Moreover, after a certain period of being triggered, it will dissipate.

This is what our investigation has found out... In fact, many of us have encountered our companions’ Heart Images, which are very different from usual, but generally do not affect others, at most making those who encounter them feel bewildered.

And they will soon disappear, I think the one you saw just now... was just an ordinary Heart Image.

As to why it appeared here in the Yellow Springs Branch, I am not sure since it wasn’t a familiar person to me.

Perhaps certain aspects of the East Asian Yellow Springs are connected, possibly related to that golden figure just now..."

"..."

Chen Lusi remained silent, listening to Zhuoli’s words, said nothing, but looked towards the direction from where the Holy Light had just attacked, "And what about the Holy Light just now?"

"Roman Catholic Church."

Zhuoli also turned his head back, "It could only be them, it seems something they want to do has begun... and apparently, they have noticed us."

Chen Lusi looked in that direction, lost in thought.

On the other side.

Zhuoli waited a while, couldn’t help but ask, "Chen Tiance, those things you just swung out..."

Chen Lusi raised the Tai’e in his hand, "An instinctive action, I don’t know exactly what, the only information I can tell you is... I feel that power shares the same source with the aura emitted by Emperor Shi."

"The same source..."

Obviously.

Zhuoli could be considered knowledgeable about Yellow Springs.

But when it comes to top-tier combat strength information, he was at a loss.

"Yes."

Chen Lusi nodded, then put down the Tai’e he held in his hand, once again looked past Zhuoli, towards where the Holy Light had emanated earlier, calmly saying, "Let’s keep moving, see if the intelligence personnel are at the evacuation point you mentioned.

Additionally, see what exactly the Roman Catholic Church intends to do."

"..."

For some reason.

Zhuoli saw the calm expression on Chen Lusi’s face and suddenly felt a bit uneasy.

He instinctively looked towards Shanli, only to find Shanli was staring back at him.

Not just Shanli, Zhou Jian was also watching him.

Obviously.

They all sensed that something was off.

Chen Lusi’s emotional shift was too fast.

Yet, for the moment, none of them knew what to say.

After all, Chen Lusi hadn’t mentioned anything else, he only spoke of continuing to the designated location.
