How can there be such a strong superpower?

However, this time... a more suitable breaking point appeared."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lusi was silent for a moment and asked, "...Heavenly punishment?"

"Correct."

Shan Li nodded: "It is your 'Sky Punishment' weapon, which is a far more effective ice-breaking tool than the squadron that Li Zheng is in and has become the backbone of Tiance Mansion.

Because you are too strong, especially after being equipped on a large scale, and the security forces know your background very well, including your situation, interpersonal relationships, the reason for joining Tiance Mansion, the time, and everything you have done so far.

In fact, they already knew everything about you before they met you, and there is no doubt that in their eyes, you have passed the test. Although you are a member of the Tian Ce Mansion, the stigma on you is far less strong. Even if we take a step back... it is far easier to control a member of the Tian Ce Mansion than to control the entire Tian Ce Mansion. Compared with the power of the "Heavenly Punishment" weapon, this risk is not worth mentioning.

Therefore, the guards are willing to choose you, even if there is a risk of being restricted by you.

On the other hand, Ji Xin Tiance also wants to change the situation of Tiance Mansion and dispel the doubts of the upper echelons. She is willing to make the security forces equal to Tiance Mansion, and even let them have powerful firepower enough to intimidate Tiance Mansion. If this can gain greater support and achieve a win-win situation... Of course, this premise is that she has you. "

"These are still Ji Xintiance's original words."

Chen Lusi: "..."

Although Dan Li's explanation is a bit confusing, it is actually not difficult to understand.

But what does the last sentence mean?

"Both sides want to change the status quo, and both sides chose you."

Shan Li continued, "At this moment, you are directly carrying the expectations of both parties... Ji Xin Tiance said that you can choose to give up, but she does not recommend it, because once you give up, it means that you will disappoint many people. Disappointment on the Tiance Mansion side is okay, but disappointment on a higher level is the most fatal.

Remember the Zhong Hong? This ancient artifact can be used on any Empowerer whose roots are in the Yellow Springs mainstream. Whether the Empowerer acknowledges it or not, this is actually a kind of "responsibility", a limitation of the soul's root, which exists from the moment of birth.

But this ancient artifact is of no use to you, which proves that your 'responsibility' does not lie here... Ji Xin Tiance said, don't let yourself become alone before that day comes."

Chen Lusi heard something and frowned as he asked, "Does Ji Xin know what my authority is?"

"I don't know."

Shan Li shook his head slightly: "I was just repeating her words."

Chen Lusi: "..."

Shan Li, who was wearing a black and white maid outfit, paused and asked, "Can I continue?"

Chen Lusi was somewhat helpless: "You continue."

"Of course, this is only one reason. There is another reason."

Shan Li continued, "That is - you are irreplaceable. You don't have to worry about being locked up and forced to transform kidney stones day and night, because this is unrealistic. The existing kidney stone reserves in the country cannot support the security forces to do so, unless one day we can artificially create kidney stones... But even if that day comes, the security forces will not be so stupid.

So this is a very simple and easy job for you. Most importantly, because you are irreplaceable, when we choose you, you also choose us. The initiative is actually in your hands."

Chen Lusi: "..."

"The above is what Ji Xintian Ce asked me to relay."

Shan Li seemed to have finished speaking, and he held the tray and bowed to Chen Lusi: "There may be some embellishments, but the meaning is not wrong."

"Thank you."

Chen Lusi was silent for a moment and said thank you.

"Need not."

Shan Li gently shook her ponytail, then suddenly changed the subject: "Excuse me, is there anything you would like to eat?"

Chen Lusi: “No.”

"understood."

After hearing the answer, Shan Li nodded and walked straight to the kitchen.

Chen Lusi did not pay attention to Shan Li, but fell into deep thought.

Obviously.

Currently, the highest level of Tiance Mansion really hopes that he can cooperate with the security forces... Perhaps it is because of the hub role just mentioned, or it may be other reasons that Ji Xin did not mention, or perhaps both.

In short, Ji Xin wanted him to cooperate.

As for the security forces, it was even more straightforward. Although they didn't say it explicitly, judging from their attitude, they were more eager than anyone else to possess a weapon like 'Heavenly Punishment'.

...It can be said that the two hit it off.

In fact, this job is not difficult for Chen Lusi.

Unless there are hundreds of thousands of stones that need to be transformed by him alone.

But Ji Xin had just helped him dispel this worry.

So refuse?

It doesn't feel necessary.

Ji Xin has made it very clear just now.

Put aside the empty words such as ability and responsibility.

In fact, what she really wanted to say was just one thing, that is - Chen Lusi was not alone, nor was he a stateless mercenary.

Let’s take a closer example.

Lin Wan is about to take a make-up exam.

And taking a more distant example...if one day we really encounter some emergency situation, and because of the lack of "divine punishment", it leads to heavy casualties, will Chen Lusi feel regret then?

Or to go further, if the people who died were people he knew, like Li Zheng, would he feel regretful?

Although to put it bluntly this is moral kidnapping.

But this is indeed a problem he may face in the future.

If Chen Lusi believed in social Darwinism, he could face this situation calmly, refute the completely foreseeable anger with righteous words, and abandon those "redundant" emotions, then he could choose to refuse.

But Ji Xin thinks he is not such a person.

Chen Lusi himself...actually doesn't think he is.

Because ultimately, he couldn't let go of everything.

"..."

When Chen Lu thought about this, he probably had the answer in his mind.

Of course, there is another important factor...

Chen Lusi leaned back against the sofa, looked at the ceiling, hesitated for a moment, picked up his phone and sent a message to Lin Ying.

[Lin Ying, you say...does marriage require a place to settle down?]

【…】

Lin Ying sent an ellipsis, and after a long silence, she replied: [Why are you asking this suddenly?]

【I just thought of something and felt curious. 】

It should be necessary.

【Understood. 】

【……that's all?】

【What? 】

【Why don’t you ask me where I want to settle down? 】

Where do you want to settle down?

【Wherever you are, there I will be.】

[Isn't this the same as not answering at all? Idiot.]

[Bite you! [Angry]]

【…】

Chen Lusi couldn't help but smile when he saw the message sent by Lin Ying.

I feel inexplicably happy.

...I don't know what she is doing now.

Chen Lusi looked at the ceiling, a little absent-minded.

He didn't come back to his senses until he heard the sound of light footsteps.

"Mr. Chen Lusi, dinner is ready."

Shan Li stood in front of Chen Lusi, still holding the tray.

Chen Lusi: "..."

How long does Ji Xin plan to let her perform?

……

the next day.

Chen Lusi woke up early.

After dinner yesterday, Shan Li was still wandering around in her maid outfit.

Chen Lusi felt a little uncomfortable, so he made an excuse that he needed to rest and went into the room early.

The room he checked into looked indeed unoccupied. Although it was a little awkward because there was a maid outside, there had been no sound coming from outside since he entered the room.

So he rested pretty well.

After getting up, the awkward feeling disappeared.

However, this situation only lasted until Chen Lusi left the room...

Because Shan Li was standing at the door of his room.

Just opened the door.

Chen Lusi saw Shan Li in a maid outfit.

Shan Li noticed Chen Lusi and asked calmly, "Do you need to wash up?"

Chen Lusi looked at her without answering. Instead, he looked down at the time and asked, "...Do you live nearby too?"

It's only a little after seven in the morning.

He didn't think Shan Li would come here early in the morning just for him.

"I actually live here."

Shan Li hesitated for a moment and replied, "But I didn't rest last night, so strictly speaking, you're the only one living here. I didn't lie to you."

Chen Lusi: "..."

"Mr. Chen Lusi." Shan Li called him.

Chen Lusi breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll find somewhere else to stay tonight... and please give Ji Xin a message for me."

Shan Li was not surprised: "You say."

"idiot."

Chen Lusi uttered a word, then turned and walked into the bathroom.

Shan Li nodded, then took out his cell phone and directly sent the word "idiot" to Ji Xin.

nine in the morning.

Chen Lusi returned to the seventh underground floor of the Tiance Mansion headquarters.

Shan Li still came with him.

Today, the seventh underground floor is still very busy because people from the security forces have also arrived.

And they are not the same group of people from yesterday.
