My Arms Can Turn into Blades
Chapter 793 51: Borrowed Corpse, Returned Soul_2
"Just like Mao Ling, it seems to have become an ordinary tomb."
"..."
Chen Lusi fell silent for a moment after hearing this, then looked down at the Jade Seal in his hand: "It seems he has completely dissipated."
Ji Xin followed with a moment of silence, then asked: "So... what exactly happened?"
No matter how good the disguise, it's not real.
She couldn't possibly not be interested in what happened just now.
Moreover...
Ji Xin looked at Chen Lusi in front of her, who seemed like an ordinary person.
At this moment, he felt really strange.
Upon hearing her, Chen Lusi could only recount what had just happened, and at the end, he added: "Currently, I have sent those two Holy Offices to the underground floor. If you have other arrangements, you may go and see them."
"..."
Silence.
Ji Xin, after hearing it, did not speak but instead looked up at Chen Lusi's sharp-featured face.
Chen Lusi showed a look of confusion.
Ji Xin subconsciously looked at Tang Language.
Tang Language's two fox ears popped out again, apparently frightened out.
She stood dazedly on the spot, this time not jumping around.
Ji Xin had no choice but to sigh and said: "I remember I just asked you to find out what was happening over in Goryeo..."
"Plans can't keep up with changes."
Hearing this, Chen Lusi explained: "If I had really returned to the human world at that time, the situation might have worsened abruptly, because that Great Angel, although it didn't look very strong, was a product of sacrificing all the Empowerers of Goryeo. It might not be able to affect the mainstream, but subsequently, it would surely use the Goryeo Branch as its lair.
By that time, resolving it would not be so easy.
Moreover, the Emperor Shi left a... 'army' which originally pruned the branches and leaves and cut off the Residual Veins, they also followed me to the Goryeo Branch, and through the summoning ritual of that Great Angel, went to the Celestial Kingdom, forcibly cutting off the link between that God and the human world, and left a passage.
That God was forced to come to the East at that time.
The situation back then was one that must be fought, or endless troubles would ensue."
"I understand."
Ji Xin still looked at Chen Lusi: "Just now, I was only expressing surprise and shock."
Chen Lusi looked at Ji Xin's expressionless face: "..."
"Do you think I would be like Tang Language?"
Ji Xin shook the soft long hair on her shoulder: "Sorry to disappoint you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Lusi chuckled a bit, not minding, just answered simply: "It's not a disappointment, just found you to be quite awkward too."
"..."
Once again, Ji Xin noticed the change in Chen Lusi.
He no longer hid all his emotions like he used to.
After the mist returned everything it had swallowed to him.
Chen Lusi actually underwent a significant change.
But such a change is hard to notice, almost only very familiar or close people can perceive it.
Because, over twenty years, he had become accustomed to being introverted, keeping all emotions bottled up.
But at this moment.
It seemed he didn't do so?
Why?
Aside from what he just said a moment ago.
Did something else happen as well?
Ji Xin was puzzled and also a bit curious.
Until.
Chen Lusi's voice rang out again: "Currently we still don't know the situation on the Roman Catholic Church's side, you might need to send someone to investigate."
Ji Xin suddenly snapped back to reality, her gaze refocused, looking at Tai'e in Chen Lusi's hand, then thought for a while, and replied: "I will, but as you just said, whether or not to investigate is no longer crucial.
You shattered the Celestial Kingdom, Emperor Shi severed the connection between the Celestial Kingdom and the human world as well as the source of death, it can almost be declared that their God can no longer intervene, perhaps even said their backbone has been broken.
In the short term, the Holy Coffin Knight Order might not be affected and can maintain their combat strength, but they can no longer enter the Celestial Kingdom, this brings a catastrophic collapse of faith.
The faith situation of that Pope at this moment might not even be considered good."
"But they have a large base."
Upon hearing this, Chen Lusi thought a little, recalling the scene he saw when facing that God: "There are enough believers, and there are many devout fanatics as well."
"Yes, so they will make every effort to consolidate the remaining and still fairly powerful Holy Coffin Knight Order, then find a way to solve the ban left by Emperor Shi, or occupy another Yellow Springs, returning from the dead."
Ji Xin nodded: "And currently, among the areas controlled by the Roman Catholic Church, there is an appropriate one..."
Speaking of this.
She looked out the window: "We have one on this side."
"Japan?"
Chen Lusi slightly furrowed his brow.
"Hmm, but don't worry, they definitely won't dare to come in the short term. Even if they dare, it'll only be to test the waters."
Ji Xin withdrew his gaze: "You don't need to go over there anymore. The situation on that side is somewhat special. Let High Celestial Plain dispatch another person to handle it. After all, we can't really allow him to take a vacation."
Chen Lusi was a bit puzzled: "Another person?"
"Yes."
Ji Xin did not answer directly: "The path of resurrection through borrowed bodies is impossible to walk through. I won't allow it to succeed. Instead, unlocking restrictions is not easy to limit, but the Old Pantheon in Rome will probably be knocking on our door next... I'll handle it."
"Understood."
Chen Lusi thought for a moment, then said nothing more, but lifted the Tai'e and the Jade Seal he held in his hand: "So how should these two items be handled?"
"..."
Ji Xin glanced at the Jade Seal and Tai'e in Chen Lusi's hands, then shifted his gaze back to Chen Lusi's face: "Of course, you'll keep them. In fact... I'm not even sure who other than you could utilize their effects, or even what effects they can really have."
"..."
Chen Lusi pondered: "Understood, then I'll hold onto them."
Ji Xin hesitated for a moment: "So what exactly is your tier now? And your current combat capability..."
As soon as he started to speak.
The people who had been quietly listening to the two converse couldn't help but look at Chen Lusi.
"I'm not quite sure about my tier."
Chen Lusi understood this was quite important to Ji Xin.
After all, even she can't be unaware of the strength of her subordinate, the Celestial Strategy.
But he truly didn't know how to describe his current state.
So he thought for a moment and tried another approach: "As for combat capability... Perhaps it would be a bit difficult to directly make a god vanish into thin air again, but now I can send any god back, even if it's a god from the Roman Catholic Church. I could send them back."
Ji Xin: "..."
Others: "..."
...
After what could be described as an extensive conversation.
In the afternoon.
Chen Lusi finally left the office.
The coming tasks indicated Ji Xin obviously had plenty more to do.
And he also had some matters to attend to.
This time, the only person who accompanied him out was Lin Ying.
"...Let's go."
Chen Lusi closed the door, then turned to look at Lin Ying. Just as he was about to call her to leave, he noticed Lin Ying standing elegantly in place, wide peach blossom eyes fixed on him.
Chen Lusi paused in his speech, then smiled and asked: "What's wrong?"
"I feel like you've changed."
Lin Ying blinked, her captivating face full of curiosity: "So aside from what you just said... are you hiding something from me?"
"No."
Chen Lusi shook his head, then reached out to grab her delicate hand, leading her forward as he softly spoke: "If there's anything I haven't told you... it would probably be certain feelings."
Lin Ying allowed Chen Lusi to lead her forward, while extending another hand to gently tug his ponytail: "Feelings?"
"Hmm."
Chen Lusi nodded, looking ahead, recalling the scene of Emperor Shi's disappearance, and softly said: "Letting heaven and earth know I once existed... to leave traces of one's existence is also quite meaningful, isn't it?"
"..."
Lin Ying looked at Chen Lusi's back.
Though she still didn't understand.
Her intuition told her... this was a good thing.
So she broke free from Chen Lusi's hand, then quickened her pace slightly, suddenly jumped, directly onto his back.
Chen Lusi sensed it, immediately reached out to wrap her white, plump snowy legs, catching her, then slightly confusedly tilted his head.
Lin Ying placed her smoothly rounded, white chin on his shoulder, hooking her arms around his neck, lying on his back, face blushing, softly saying: "I don't understand... but it's truly impressive, you fool.
You've already left traces now, believe it or not, countless people have already remembered your name at this moment."
"..."
Hearing this, Chen Lusi smiled and said: "Maybe."
...
In fact.
Chen Lusi's understanding... was still rather conservative.
Maybe?
The moment the news spread.
The Empowerer organizations worldwide exploded.
