Free Web NovelChapter 618: Chapter 69: Enemy_2
"Lastly... you just mentioned that Xia Yue wants to prosecute the Holy Coffin Knights of the Roman Catholic Church. Why does he want to do that? And what does it mean when other Celestial Strategies mention damaging the sacred Golden Body of the Roman Catholic Church? I know very little about the Roman Catholic Church and the Holy Coffin Knights, so I’ll have to trouble you for some information on this too."
He said a lot in one breath.
Ji Xin quietly listened, slightly raised her head, looking at Chen Lusi standing before her, who seemed to have transformed overnight. After a moment’s silence, she asked, "Okay... but what happened to your Tier? I remember you were at the threshold of Zhan Kan before, why have you fallen back to bleeding?"
This question.
Ji Xin didn’t know either.
This moment was also the first time she met Chen Lusi after receiving the news that he was part of the third team in Celestial Strategy.
"I don’t know either."
Chen Lusi heard this, raised his right hand, glanced at his palm, and shook his head gently: "After I used my Authority Ability to execute the ’Kuwa Clan’ assigned to me by Xia Yue, I attracted Celestial Punishment... and after I dispelled the Celestial Punishment, I became like this. I don’t know what’s going on either.
The only thing I can confirm... is that my Authority Ability and Techniques are no longer affected, they’re even stronger than before the fall in Tier."
"..."
Behind Ji Xin.
Shanli heard Chen Lusi’s words, and her pupils contracted slightly.
... Execute the Kuwa Clan?
Ji Xin heard this, fell silent again, looking at Chen Lusi’s face. Then she suddenly raised her white small hand, holding it up to his waist, as if wanting to shake hands with Chen Lusi.
"... What are you doing?"
Chen Lusi noticed her gaze, bowed his head to look at her cold, pretty face, and asked.
Ji Xin still didn’t speak, just held up her hand.
"..."
Chen Lusi was silent for a while, then slowly placed his hand on hers.
Ji Xin gently squeezed his hand, then raised her other hand.
"..."
Chen Lusi placed his other hand on hers as well, then guessed something, frowned, and asked, "Are you really treating me like a dog? ... Do you think I, like Xia Yue, could pose a threat to you? So you want to test my obedience?"
"..."
Ji Xin didn’t speak, just let go of his hand.
Chen Lusi looked at her indifferent face, probably understood, and after a moment of silence, shook his head: "Don’t worry, I’m not interested in your position, nor will I pose a threat to you. Don’t think everyone is against you, it’s exhausting."
My increasing power won’t change my attitude, you don’t need to be so wary of me.
Also, don’t treat me like a dog, people and dogs are different, no matter how much you like dogs, don’t do this."
"..."
Ji Xin didn’t explain, just asked: "Do you think we should prosecute that Holy Coffin Knight?"
"I can’t give you an answer right now."
Chen Lusi shook his head again: "Because I know almost nothing about the Roman Catholic Church,"
Ji Xin continued to ask: "Do you feel any pressure?"
Chen Lusi was a little puzzled: "... Pressure?"
"..."
Ji Xin observed Chen Lusi’s expression for a while, then lightly shook her head: "It’s nothing... I’ll have Shanli organize the relevant information for you later."
"Okay, thank you."
Chen Lusi expressed his thanks, then turned around, preparing to leave and contact the Security Army as well as Zhang Xiufeng.
"Chen Lusi."
But before he could step out, Ji Xin called out to him again.
Chen Lusi turned his head.
Ji Xin furrowed her brows and softly asked: "Why did you have Xia Yue’s ’Kuwa Clan’ executed? And what were you thinking when you dispelled the Celestial Punishment?"
"Because it was meaningless. Xia Yue’s strength wasn’t actually because of his Authority Ability or the Source Canon God his Authority pointed to, it was simply because he was Xia Yue."
Chen Lusi thought for a moment, then calmly replied: "As for what I was thinking when I dispelled the Celestial Punishment, it was simple, I just thought that the so-called Celestial Punishment and Gods... were much weaker than I imagined."
Ji Xin: "..."
Shanli: "..."
Chen Lusi left.
Shanli stood behind Ji Xin, watching Chen Lusi leave, then looked at Ji Xin, who was deep in thought with her head down.
Noticing Shanli’s gaze, Ji Xin suddenly asked: "When I was testing Xia Yue... did I reach out to him?"
"No."
"Then do I really seem like someone who doesn’t care about others?"
"Then you should have directly told him... rather than raising your hand as if wanting to shake hands with a puppy, no one would understand your intention."
"..."
"Only Chen Lusi would. If it were someone else, they wouldn’t even lift their hand, they’d just think you were insulting someone. If you’re worried, you should say it directly."
"... You’re so good with words, why didn’t you explain just now?"
"I also thought you were testing Chen Lusi just now."
"..."
"So, what’s the result?"
Shanli looked at the silent Ji Xin again, hesitated for a moment, and looked in the direction where Chen Lusi had just left, asking: "The result of your investigation... what is Chen Lusi’s situation now?"
"It’s strange, I can’t sense his Stone, it’s as if it suddenly disappeared, his Tier has truly fallen back to bleeding.
But on the other hand, I can sense the Spirit within him, and if the Spirit within him before could fill the entire meeting room, then now he..."
Ji Xin paused here, then raised her snow-white arm, pointing to the hole on her left.
"... Less?" Shanli looked at the hole Ji Xin pointed to.
Ji Xin gently shook her head: "No, I’m referring to outside. Before, the Spirit within him could only fill the entire meeting room, but now... the Spirit within him can fill an entire city."
"..."
Shanli’s breath caught, and her beautiful eyes widened sharply.
...
At the same time.
Chen Lusi wasn’t aware of Ji Xin and Shanli’s conversation, nor did he know that his recent actions had begun to spread like ripples.
After leaving the meeting room, he went downstairs to the lounge he had stayed in while visiting the headquarters, then began contacting Li Zheng and Zhang Xiufeng.
The whole process didn’t take much time.
Chen Lusi didn’t spend much effort.
Li Zheng didn’t even need to consult others and directly agreed, stating that the entire Security Army would cooperate with the Celestial Strategy Mansion.
Zhang Xiufeng’s side was also straightforward.
In the end, Chen Lusi took less than five minutes to settle everything.
After hanging up the phone.
Chen Lusi put down the phone by his ear, hesitated for a moment, then turned and was about to leave the lounge.
But as soon as he turned around, he saw... Lan standing behind him.
She was still wearing a white dress, her doll-like face had no expression, but her long hair that used to be draped over her shoulders... had turned into a ponytail.
"..."
Seeing the elusive Lan, Chen Lusi looked at her, then put away his phone, slowly squatted down, and placed his hands on her shoulders: "... I thought you had left."
"..."
Lan looked at Chen Lusi, not speaking, just slowly raised her white arm, pointing behind Chen Lusi.
Chen Lusi turned his head, following her indicated direction with his gaze.
But he saw nothing, there was only a wall behind him.
"What does it mean..."
Chen Lusi turned back, about to ask her what she meant.
But he noticed.
A wheelchair appeared abruptly behind Lan, with a man whose head resembled a clock, and a shadow.
Chen Lusi’s pupils suddenly contracted.
And as Lan looked at Chen Lusi, she finally spoke again: "... Enemy."
...
At the same time.
In the southeast direction where Chen Lusi was facing away, two thousand kilometers away.
Hecate was climbing a mountain.
But suddenly.
She felt as if someone was watching her, a sudden chill and palpitation, as if her heart was being fiercely clenched.
She turned her head abruptly to look behind her.
But... there was nothing behind her either.
"... The entire Kunlun Pantheon was dealt with by Xia Yue, logically I should never be discovered, what’s happening?"
Hecate clutched her chest, slightly frowned, and murmured to herself.
