My Arms Can Turn into Blades

Chapter 428 1: Collective Contamination_3

Because during this period, she hadn't received any information at all and didn't even know what was happening outside. She didn't even know if the Russian Orthodox Church took this person seriously.

Wandering, fear, worry.

Amidst a mix of different emotions, she suddenly found that the nightmare that haunted her day and night stood right in front of her. It was imaginable how complex her feelings were.

"Hello."

Chen Lusi looked at the suspicious Anna, thought for a moment, and greeted first.

Hearing Chen Lusi's calm voice, Anna suddenly came back to her senses and immediately suppressed the multitude of emotions inside her.

No matter what.

Since he came to see her, it proved the Russian Orthodox Church had done something.

Calm down, calm down first.

Anna took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, just as she was about to speak.

"Meow~"

The meow of a cat suddenly rang out.

Then a completely snow-white cat walked elegantly, slowly came to Chen Lusi's side, and gently rubbed his pant leg.

"..."

Anna's pupils shrank. She looked at the cat, then at Chen Lusi, and staggered back a step.

She was also a devout believer.

Even more devout than Yevgeny, of course, she knew what this was.

"People from Kunlun will come over later, and you need to meet them by then."

Shan Li, seeing this scene, showed no expression, as if she had anticipated it for a long time.

In fact, the reason why Ji Xin didn't propose letting Kunlun temporarily keep the white cat while in Jinling was precisely for this moment.

Now seeing that the purpose was achieved, she didn't say anything more, leaving a sentence before she left the room directly, leaving the space for Chen Lusi.

Bam—

The door was closed.

Chen Lusi, looking at the wary Anna, found there was no place at all to sit around and simply stood still, getting straight to the point: "I want to ask you about something."

"..."

Anna didn't react at all, still staring intently at the cat by his feet.

Chen Lusi thought for a moment and continued: "This will determine when you can see your compatriots."

Upon hearing the word compatriots.

Anna finally came back to her senses. She stared intently at Chen Lusi, still full of vigilance but finally spoke: "Compatriots?"

"Yes, Ivan and Yevgeny, they want to see you, but if it's possible to meet... it depends on your attitude."

Chen Lusi first recalled how Ji Xin would handle such a situation, then calmly said: "You know these two, right?"

"..."

Anna trembled slightly at the mention of Ivan and Yevgeny's names, evidently recognizing them.

"You are considered a criminal now; neither you nor the Russian Orthodox Church can deny this. After all, everyone saw you seizing an ally's weapon... We can completely refuse Ivan and Yevgeny's visit."

Chen Lusi looked at the ever-vigilant Anna and softly said: "So, do you want to see your compatriots?"

"... What do you want to ask?"

Anna looked at Chen Lusi, thought of all she had been through, stayed silent for a while, and quickly made up her mind.

"Techniques."

Chen Lusi took out the sheepskin paper, once left by the First Rider Position, that trapped him: "Or to be more precise, the technique recorded on the sheepskin paper."

"..."

Anna looked at Chen Lusi and then at the sheepskin paper in his hand, not understanding what he wanted: "Are you a believer?"

"No." Chen Lusi shook his head.

Anna continued to ask: "Then why do you want to know about this? What do you want to know?"

"Curious."

Chen Lusi picked up the sheepskin paper: "I want to know how you sealed the technique into the sheepskin paper."

"..."

Anna looked at Chen Lusi's face.

Chen Lusi met her gaze.

After a long time.

Anna suddenly asked: "Do you want to seal your technique into the sheepskin paper?"

"Isn't it possible?" Chen Lusi neither confirmed nor denied.

"Forget it."

Anna shook her head: "Impossible. I know you covet the Church System's technique usage scheme, but it's impossible to replicate. Those ignorant and godless can never covet the Holy Words."

"Covet."

"Hmm?"

"It's pronounced covet."

"..."

Anna's face stiffened slightly, a little embarrassed.

Though there's no problem with communication, it's inevitable to make mistakes since it's not her native language.

"I'm just curious."

After correcting her, Chen Lusi thought for a moment, then continued to ask: "Whether it's doable doesn't concern you. I just want to know how you seal techniques into the sheepskin paper; you only need to tell me."

"..."

Anna took a deep breath, suppressed her unnecessary thoughts, then carefully scrutinized Chen Lusi, beginning to weigh the pros and cons.

About two minutes later.

She finally said: "Telling you doesn't matter, because you can never do it... it's simple, prayer."

"Prayer?"

Chen Lusi heard this answer and seemed unsatisfied: "How to pray?"

Anna explained, "Devoutly seek the help of God, and sincere faith will endow the spirit with divinity, allowing the technique to be recorded on the sheepskin paper."

Chen Lusi slightly furrowed his brows: "...Will your God respond to you?"

"Yes, God is everywhere." Anna nodded.

Chen Lusi paused for a moment, then asked, "Then why don't you pray now? Ask your God to let you out?"

"..."

Anna stiffened slightly, then seemed somewhat annoyed: "This isn't God's land! It's a place of filth..."

Chen Lusi interrupted, "Then why didn't you pray at first and have your God strike down the First Rider?"

Anna: "..."

"Be honest."

Chen Lusi said calmly, "I have limited patience. If you want to spend the rest of your life here alone, you can just say so, and I won't disturb you."

Having said that.

He turned around, planning to leave.

"Wait."

Anna immediately called out to him.

If there was no hope, it would be fine.

Now that there is hope, hearing the familiar names Ivan and Yevgeny, she indeed didn't want to give up like this.

Even if just to pass the message out...

Chen Lusi turned back around and looked at Anna.

"I wasn't lying, we can indeed seal techniques into the sheepskin paper because of faith."

Anna took a deep breath and said softly, "Our church's empowerers, all empowerers, whether their Authority Ability comes from the Bible or from local myths and legends... as long as they convert to the church, after baptism, they will be branded with the seal, God's seal... this allows our spiritual energy to infuse the sheepskin paper and record the technique.

This is a grace unique to us."

"Are you talking about infusing the spirit into the sheepskin paper?"

Chen Lusi automatically ignored the mystical embellishments and asked, "Are you referring to releasing the technique onto the sheepskin paper?"

"It's not entirely accurate, but you can think of it that way."

Anna nodded and continued, "In this process, we will pray devoutly, supplement it with the Holy Words, and then, with God's permission, seal the known technique.

When needed, recite the corresponding Holy Words to quickly release the technique. If one is devout enough, even the Holy Words can be omitted because God is already in the heart."

"Holy Words..."

Chen Lusi thought about the church system's empowerers' mystical act before releasing techniques, and roughly understood.

However...

Chen Lusi looked up, just about to ask something else.

But before he could speak.

In front of him.

The air suddenly twisted.

Then.

A small, pure-white fox suddenly appeared, jumping out of the void.

In the next instant.

It transformed into Tang Language, wearing a gorgeous long gown.

Chen Lusi and Anna were both stunned by this scene.

After Tang Language appeared, she ignored Anna behind her, stepped forward directly, grabbed Chen Lusi's wrist, and urgently said, "Chen Lusi, you need to leave immediately! The Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters... something's not right!"

Chen Lusi: "...?"

What?

...

At the same time.

Hotel.

"Sis."

Lin Wan sat on the bed, looking at Lin Ying, who took off her T-shirt, revealing a large area of snowy-white skin, and asked curiously, "Why are you changing clothes?"

"Didn't you want to visit a school in the Imperial Capital?"

Lin Ying turned around upon hearing this, looking at her sister.

"You should put on your clothes..."

Lin Wan glanced at her sister's proud and graceful figure, then looked down nonchalantly at her own, and quickly urged, asking, "Aren't we waiting for brother-in-law?"

"It's not a good idea to go to the school at night."

Lin Ying shook her head: "Besides, he has been working hard, so we shouldn't trouble him tonight. Let him have a good rest."

"Oh."

Lin Wan showed a look of realization upon hearing this.

Lin Ying reminded, "Change your clothes."

Lin Wan hesitated for a moment, then quietly said, "...Can you turn around?"

"..."

Lin Ying rolled her eyes at her sister, then stepped forward and directly helped her change her clothes.

Lin Wan resisted with all her might...but to no avail.

Amidst playful commotion, the two sisters changed their clothes.

And about half an hour later.

The sisters stepped out together.
