My Arms Can Turn into Blades

Chapter 427 1: Collective Contamination_2

"There is."

Before Shan Li could answer, the woman with golden hair took the initiative to say, "I'm Mi Jie... from the Chamomile Alliance, sent by the Russian Orthodox Church to study."

After speaking, she actively reached out her hand to Chen Lusi.

"Hello, hello."

Before Chen Lusi could react, Wu You actively shook Mi Jie's hand and introduced himself: "I'm Wu You."

"...This is one of the requirements of the treaty between the two parties."

Shan Li glanced at Mi Jie before her, and after a brief moment of confusion, she calmly replied, "Currently, I'm a member of the Gold Yi Squad; you should know about Jin Yi, right? I recall you met him in the Monkey Anomaly Realm."

"Understood."

Hearing the word 'alliance,' Chen Lusi roughly understood and nodded to the other side.

Of course, he knew about Jin Yi.

"Jin Yi, I'm familiar with him too. Where is he now?"

Meanwhile, Wu You's eyes lit up hearing the name Jin Yi and then proactively engaged in conversation with Mi Jie.

Chen Lusi glanced at him, thought for a moment, did not stop, but spoke to him and continued following Shan Li towards the elevator.

Wu You waved at him and then followed Mi Jie to find Jin Yi.

Shan Li swiped the card and then pressed the button for the fourth basement level.

The instant the elevator doors closed.

Mi Jie suddenly turned to look at Chen Lusi and smiled at him.

Chen Lusi frowned slightly, feeling that something wasn't right, and couldn't help but look at Shan Li beside him: "Is it okay for Chamomile Alliance members to appear in the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters?"

Shan Li shook her head: "It's okay, if Ji Xin, Mount Tai, Yu Zhou, Tang Language, and several other Celestial Strategy members were here, they couldn't do anything."

Chen Lusi countered, "But they aren't here now, are they?"

Shan Li directly said, "You're here now."

Chen Lusi had nothing to say.

His thoughts were also temporarily interrupted.

And while talking... the fourth basement level arrived.

The elevator doors slowly opened.

... the first thing that came into view was a long corridor.

The LED lights above had high lumens, illuminating the entire corridor bright as midday, even somewhat dazzling.

While the simple, undecorated corridor sides had a closed wooden door every few meters, there were no markings on them.

Complete mystery as to what's inside each room.

"This is the 'prison' of the Celestial Strategy Mansion."

Shan Li explained: "The corridor and rooms outside the elevator are actually an ancient object, but not unearthed domestically; the related Source Canon isn't affiliated with the country either; Xia Yue retrieved it... we call it 'prison,' but its real name is 'Endless Room.' "

"Endless Room..."

Chen Lusi repeated Shan Li's words, then curiously asked, "What's the effect?"

Shan Li explained: "Once designated as a tenant, one cannot leave their room; tenants can freely open doors, but once stepping out of the room, they will be transmitted back to it."

"...Very impressive."

Chen Lusi lightly nodded, looking at the endless corridor before him.

... just feels quite tormenting.

"Let's go; as long as you're not designated as a tenant, you're free to enter and exit."

Shan Li stepped out of the elevator first, then turned around.

Chen Lusi followed her out.

Vision briefly distorted.

Chen Lusi stepped out of the elevator, then glanced back, the elevator still visible, slowly closing.

But tenants are probably different... they might not be able to see the elevator?

Chen Lusi pondered this question while walking forward with Shan Li.

They hadn't walked far.

Shan Li stopped in front of a certain room.

No idea how she confirmed it.

Out of politeness, she gently knocked on the door, then pushed it open without waiting for a response.

A room roughly twenty square meters came into view, simply decorated with just a bed and solid wood table, nothing more.

At the very end, there was a small room, likely a toilet or similar.

And a golden-haired woman without expression was sitting on the bed.

She slowly turned her head upon hearing the sound, showing no response upon seeing Shan Li.

Until she noticed Chen Lusi behind Shan Li, she suddenly stood up, staring intently at Chen Lusi.

This was Chen Lusi's second meeting with Anna.

Different from the first meeting.

At that time, all he thought about was having Hamiti from the First Rider Position undo the Anomaly Realm that trapped Xia Panqiu; he neither paid attention to the captive's appearance nor cared to focus on it.

And now, he could finally take a good look at this Anna's appearance.

She was a typical Slav woman, very fair-skinned, with a high nose bridge, soft features, and golden hair...

Chen Lusi scrutinized and then frowned.

Because this person felt a bit like Mi Jie.

Although their features differed greatly, somehow, they both gave him a similar feeling... Could it be that Chamomile Alliance women were all like this?

At the same time.

As Chen Lusi observed Anna.

Anna was staring intently at Chen Lusi.

She had been locked up for a while now.

And in such a 'prison,' she could do nothing... no Internet, no phone, not even books.

Her only option was to reminisce.

Compared to unremarkable everyday life, what she recalled most surely was the incident that occurred near the border not long ago.

Despite the passage of time.

She could still remember Chen Lusi raising the Celestial Punishment Pistol, standing before her, and the moment when he directly 'melted' a High-tier Empowerer.

And it was almost becoming her nightmare...
