How can there be such a strong superpower?

What she thought was the biggest destabilizing factor last night, at this moment, turned out to be a savior of sorts.

Although the danger is far from over.

But he did avoid the most powerless and ugly situation.

She couldn't even imagine what would happen if Chen Lusi collapsed like Li Tian...

"well enough."

Chen Lusi came to his senses after hearing this and said casually, "There's still hope, right? If you're really at the end of your rope... there's nothing I can do. Just don't die too ugly, like killing each other for fun. That would be too ugly."

“Don’t be so ugly…”

Xia Panqiu looked into Chen Lusi's eyes and repeated his words in a low voice.

Then, she lowered her head, suddenly raised her other hand, and tightly grasped Chen Lusi's wrist.

Chen Lusi: "?"

"Chen Lusi."

Xia Panqiu let her pretty short hair cover her face and whispered, "Please agree to one thing I ask of you. I was wrong before. I apologize to you. Please forgive me. As long as you can forgive me and agree to my request, I can even ask you to kneel down now."

"What?" Chen Lusi paused.

"If...if you really reach the end of your rope and I'm subdued, please find a chance to kill me."

Xia Panqiu's delicate body trembled slightly. After taking a deep breath, she continued in a trembling voice: "No matter what you choose in the end, please kill me. Lu Hao doesn't know your authority and ability, so you can do it.

Please don't let me see Lu Hao's face anywhere else, because living like this is really too ugly, I will go crazy."

Chen Lusi: "..."

"And I."

Wu You lit a cigarette and said, "This time, Lu Hao wants the Yellow Springs Remains and wants to take us both with him. I guess he wants to use us to find the 'door' to the Yellow Springs Mainstream... If we fall into their hands, I can withstand the physical pain, but it's hard to say about the mental aspect. Lu Hao's 'self' has many ways of controlling people, and I may not be able to withstand it.

When the time comes, find a reason to get behind me and stab me."

"..."

Chen Lusi was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Wu You and said helplessly, "Don't you think this is too much for me?"

"I know, this is a personal request. Whether it's okay or not is another matter."

Wu You exhaled a cigarette and said casually, "You don't need to feel pressured... Although it's a bit late to talk about this now that the moral kidnapping is over."

Chen Lusi looked at Wu You, who didn't take it seriously, feeling somewhat helpless. He turned back to look at Xia Panqiu, who lowered her head, and asked curiously, "Don't you want to live?"

"Of course I do."

Upon hearing this, Xia Panqiu took a deep breath, slowly raised her head, and a charming smile appeared on her fair face.

For the first time, she smiled in front of Chen Lusi and expressed her true feelings: "I really, really want to live. There are still many things I want to do, many things I haven't experienced, and friends and family I want to see... I still want to live."

"But I don't want to live such an ugly life... So please, Chen Lusi."

"..."

Chen Lusi was stunned.

He looked at the charming smile on Xia Panqiu's face, wondering if it was because it was the first time he saw her smile.

He suddenly felt that when this girl said she wanted to live... she was quite dazzling.

Just like the warbler back then.

……

"Chen Lusi, life is actually quite interesting."

"for example?"

"You can grow up with me, do a lot of things that you can't do now, make friends, and experience a lot of interesting things."

"..."

……

Old memories seemed to reappear before my eyes.

Chen Lusi looked at Xia Panqiu and was silent for a long time before replying, "Then try your best to survive. I will help you."

Chapter 23 Method

Wu You and Xia Panqiu told Chen Lusi their final requests as if they were making arrangements for their funeral.

The atmosphere was a bit stagnant.

Both of them knew very well what this meant to Chen Lusi.

So after Chen Lusi said "I will help", neither of them responded, but remained silent.

After Chen Lusi bandaged Xia Panqiu's wound, he looked up at the night sky slightly and fell silent. No one knew what he was thinking.

Two hours.

Soon half of the time had passed.

Xia Panqiu held the phone and suddenly said, "Xiaoxiao said she would come, but she has to take on the responsibility of a guardian and bring her 'daughter' with her. She said she couldn't make fun of the entire Tiance Mansion...so she will be very slow."

"Understandable."

Wu You lit another cigarette and breathed a sigh of relief: "This is already a risk, let's try to drag it out. I hope this ghost story can last a little longer."

【Fun, fun, fun...】

He just finished speaking.

A low murmur like a dream began to sound.

Wu You turned around and looked at the homeless man who appeared on the grave with his eyes rolled up. He sighed, "Well, this kind of scary ghost story won't last long."

"I want to ask."

Chen Lusi also came back to his senses because of the homeless man's mumbling in his sleep.

He withdrew his gaze from the night sky and suddenly asked, "Do you have any spells that can improve people's reaction ability and allow them to see attacks clearly..."

Wu You was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously: "What do you mean?"

"like me."

Chen Lusi pointed at himself and said, "My arms can transform into swords, but I've received no training. Forget fighting, I'm not even cannon fodder... Since you've recruited someone like me, you should have a solution, right? For example, some kind of technique that can change this situation?"

"..."

Xia Panqiu and Wu You exchanged a glance, then replied softly, "Indeed, there is, but you can't learn it... or rather, it's difficult to master at this stage."

"Why?" Chen Lusi turned around and looked at Xia Panqiu.

Upon hearing this, Xia Panqiu raised his uninjured left hand and slowly clenched his fist.

under the moonlight.

Chen Lusi clearly saw that the blood vessels under the skin of Xia Panqiu's fair and slender arms were gradually revealed, and a faint blue light was slowly flowing along with the blood.

"All techniques based on the body have certain risks."

Xia Panqiu explained softly, "For example, the 'Partial Strengthening' technique I'm using right now is very simple. It uses the spirit to strengthen part of the torso, temporarily giving me physical qualities that surpass those of an average human. However, the effects and side effects of using this technique in the Bleeding and Incarnation stages are different. Using it in the Bleeding stage has basically no side effects, but using it in the Incarnation stage... may cause swelling, pain, or even damage to the limbs."

Simply put, the degree of our body's alienation directly determines the effects and consequences of the techniques we can use.

The technique you mentioned does exist. We call it "Eye". It is one of the basic techniques that can enhance the reflex nerves from the sensing end. However, the minimum requirement for using this technique is the bleeding stage. Because only when it reaches the bleeding stage, the spirit follows the blood rushing in the body, and it can achieve a significant change in body functions without leaving serious sequelae.

I don't know what your current condition is, but it's definitely not bleeding. If you try to use the 'Eye' in this situation and rely on the spirits in your body to forcibly change your body functions, the aftereffects will be very serious."

"……for example?"

Chen Lusi hesitated for a moment and asked.

"You might become blind or even have your head exploded."

Xia Panqiu lowered his hand and whispered, "Spells that directly affect the body are no joke. Even if you learn now, it's too late. Mastering a spell requires a lot of practice... and we've abandoned the practice method of forcing spells to be memorized through movements and short sentences. It's basically impossible to learn in a short period of time."

"Is it so scary?"

Chen Lusi felt helpless and thought for a moment, "Then why don't you teach me first... What if I learn it? Also, let me ask you, are there any pensions for Tian Ce members who die in battle?"

Xia Panqiu looked into Chen Lusi's eyes and shook her head: "...There's no need to go to this extent."

Wu You also interrupted, "Yes, brother, we don't want you to pretend to be blind in front of me... We appreciate your kindness, but to be honest, even if you can learn to use eyes, it won't change anything."

“…Actually, I have an idea.”

Chen Lusi hesitated for a moment, then picked up the short knife that the mature woman had given him on the ground. It was originally intended for his duel with Li Tian, and explained, "My power ability is to transform into a blade, right? Since it's all power, even if the knife I transformed into has a blade, Lu Hao shouldn't be able to control it, right?"

"...There is indeed no such precedent." Wu You nodded with doubt.

"In fact, my power, besides being able to transform my limbs into swords, can also create swords through bloodletting."

After hearing the definite answer, Chen Lusi raised the dagger in his hand and said, "If I cover this dagger with blood, will I have a weapon that is not under Lu Hao's control?"

Wu You looked at the dagger in Chen Lusi's hand in the moonlight, and his eyes lit up.

"It's useless. Even if you have a weapon, you are no match for Lu Hao at the moment."

Xia Panqiu bit her lower lip and whispered, "Not to mention piercing his heart."

"This is for you guys."

Chen Lusi shook his head and handed her the dagger: "In this situation, if we really want to fight, it would be more useful if my arm turned into a knife."

Xia Panqiu asked hesitantly, "Then your idea..."

"Here's what I was thinking...why don't you let me 'duel' with Lu Hao?"

Chen Lusi activated his spirit-sensing ability through meditation. After opening his eyes, he explained while raising his hand and repeated the same trick, attracting all the floating light spots around him and making them gather in his palm.

"Duel..."

"Chen Lusi, what the hell! What did you do!?"

Xia Panqiu was still confused.

Wu You could no longer sit still, because he saw with his own eyes that as Chen Lusi raised his hand and absorbed the surrounding spirits like a whale, the homeless man who rolled his eyes on the grave seemed to be torn apart by something, and his body gradually became thinner.

He suddenly jumped up and said in shock: "Stop it, the alien world is about to collapse!"

"..."

Chen Lusi swallowed the huge 'Spirit Pearl' in his palm in one gulp, then covered his mouth to suppress the nausea and said vaguely: "Then quickly teach me 'Eye', I really have an idea."

Wu You: "..."

Xia Panqiu: "..."

……

"...I can't even last two hours."

On the stone arch bridge.

Lu Hao looked at the homeless man whose body was gradually becoming thinner and smiled lightly.

"Lu Hao, I just received news that Xiaoxiao and her 'daughter' are coming this way."

The mature woman with a peony tattoo on half of her face put down her phone and suddenly spoke.

Lu Hao asked casually: "When did you set off?"

"About half an hour ago."

Lu Hao looked at the homeless man who had stopped pacing and whose body was becoming increasingly thin, and sneered: "It will take at least four hours to leave from Pengcheng, and the daylily will be cold."

next to.

Li Tian covered his right hand which had barely stopped bleeding. When he heard this, a look of despair appeared on his face.

"Are you scared?"
