Chapter 419 - 242: The Beginning of the Normal University Strange Tales
"Chen Lusi."
Celestial Strategy Mansion Branch.
Wu You finally found a chance to pull Chen Lusi aside, then whispered urgently, "What the hell is going on!?"
On the other side.
Xia Panqiu looked at Chen Lusi and blinked as well.
The scene just now completely caught both of them off guard.
Although the two had roughly guessed that this might be another ’Celestial Punishment Weapon’ incident,
they would choke if they didn’t ask and get to the bottom of it.
This is a Daoist talisman... It worked!
And Chen Lusi knew in the morning that they misunderstood, so seeing the excited Wu You now wasn’t surprising. He briefly explained to him what had happened during this time.
"..."
Wu You and Xia Panqiu listened to Chen Lusi’s narration and fell into silence.
Both of them were somewhat numb...
The ’Dismantling’ that could interrupt techniques was like this.
The subsequent ’Celestial Punishment Weapon’ was like this.
The current ’Talisman’ is the same.
Chen Lusi always made them believe that things that seemed impossible inexplicably became possible.
Then the person involved couldn’t explain the reason.
It just leaves you unsure of what to say.
"Chen Lusi."
Wu You looked at Chen Lusi, paused his narration, and suddenly asked, "You aren’t really some immortal reborn, or someone reincarnated from the future, are you? Then deliberately shocking me wave after wave?"
"...?"
Chen Lusi slowly drew a question mark, "Why do you say that? Is there such a precedent before?"
"That’s not quite the case."
Wu You shook his head, "But now I feel very similar... Look at what you’ve done lately. Do you think any of it lines up with you from a few months ago? I remember when you came back from Wucha Town, I compared you to Lu Hao and thought you wouldn’t be worse than him.
After all, looking at that time, Lu Hao’s ’Invisible Blade’ was indeed formidable, but now?
Lu Hao would be grateful just to see the end of your trail; as for ’Invisible Blade’... No matter how concealed the blade, I could barely dodge the first two waves, but now you try taking the Celestial Punishment Sniper Rifle from afar? If I don’t die on the spot for you, I’ll kneel and call you grandpa.
Let’s not mention the ’Dismantling’ which is even more ridiculous than the ’Invisible Blade,’ and now combined with the talisman...
He looked at Chen Lusi and couldn’t help but smile bitterly, "Before I joked that if you became the Celestial Strategy, you’d have to cover for me, but I didn’t expect it to come so soon..."
Because the four Daoists were still present, Wu You left many things unsaid.
Actually, Chen Lusi’s doubts were far beyond the talisman and Celestial Punishment Weapons.
There are also two very important points he didn’t mention—scenery being brought back to reality and binding half of Jinling City within the Extraordinary Domain.
And, the death and resurrection that he and Xia Panqiu both instinctively avoided mentioning.
The former isn’t so bad, everyone mainly focused on whether Ji Xin’s Demon Slayer had a problem.
But the matter of death and resurrection.
At that time, no Celestial Strategy was present.
Moreover, Wu You and Xia Panqiu witnessed Chen Lusi’s blood and flesh reassemble with their own eyes...
This was something both of them were unwilling to bring up; on one hand, they didn’t want to recall the situation back then.
They really felt powerless at the time, and it was only thanks to Chen Lusi’s desperate efforts that they survived Lu Hao’s hands... Remembering it now made them feel extremely conflicted, especially when combined with subsequent events; it was even more complicated.
On the other hand, this matter is too sensitive.
Now Wu You and Xia Panqiu, when thinking about that emotionless little girl and the man with a clock for a head, get goosebumps all over.
Death and resurrection.
Revival.
Isn’t this one of the things those remnants of the old era yearned for most?
The Self wanted Si Yujie’s daughter, wasn’t it precisely because she had the ability to let others ’return from the dead’?
To this day, even Ji Xin doesn’t know about this. Currently, only Xia Yue, Si Yujie, and the two of them know, precisely because they once talked about it and mutually chose to act as if it never happened.
"..."
Chen Lusi heard Wu You’s words and fell into contemplation, seemingly having thought of something.
Wu You was taken aback for a moment, then asked in disbelief, "Chen Lusi? You wouldn’t..."
Chen Lusi regained his senses and shook his head, "No, I just think what you just said... could make for a novel theme."
"..."
Wu You found it a bit amusing and vexing.
He almost thought Chen Lusi was about to confess.
"As for what you just mentioned... I am still just an ordinary member, not capable of covering for anyone."
Chen Lusi continued, "Regarding other doubts, I also want an answer, but the focus is not on me, but on Xia Yue and the others."
He actually cared more than anyone about what his Authority Ability was all about.
Wu You followed Chen Lusi’s gaze over to Xia Yue and the others, gently nodded in agreement.
Xia Panqiu also followed Chen Lusi’s gaze to the ceiling, but quickly drew her gaze back, looking at Chen Lusi’s side profile once more, then suddenly said, "Chen Lusi, can we also try the talisman?"
"...Of course you can."
Chen Lusi regained his senses, thought for a moment, then nodded his head.
And hearing these words.
Gradually recovering from shock, Wu You instantly disregarded matters of resurrection, Authority Ability, and looked intensely at Chen Lusi.
At the same time.
Just as Chen Lusi, his two teammates, and several Daoists were researching the talisman.
The top floor.
Xia Yue and Ji Xin also summoned Tai Shan and Luo Mountain, who had been searching for relevant ’scenery’ information during this time, and briefed the two on recent events.
Ji Xin’s tone was rather calm.
