My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 166 - 155: Get Out of the Way
"Why does the dish have a taste?"
Hearing Shu Li’s words.
A struggling expression flashed across Wu You’s face and then disappeared. He nodded and said, "You’re right."
Then, he began eating.
The sound of clinking bowls and chopsticks continuously echoed.
For a moment, it seemed as if only the clinking of bowls and chopsticks remained around.
On the other side.
Xia Panqiu held her chopsticks, her hand suspended in mid-air, with a similarly struggling expression on her face.
But others seemed to be oblivious to it.
A few seconds later.
Xia Panqiu’s gaze slowly lowered, looking at everyone’s shadows. A glimmer of clarity appeared in her eyes, and she sharply put down her chopsticks, angrily exclaiming, "This isn’t right!"
The others raised their heads to look at her, showing confused expressions.
Xia Panqiu opened her mouth, about to say more.
In the next moment.
All the shadows suddenly flipped direction.
The Hunan restaurant vanished instantly.
A bustling street.
"What do you want to eat?"
Shu Li gradually slowed her pace, coming to the back of the line, and asked Xia Panqiu.
Xia Panqiu was momentarily stunned. The words she had been about to say slowly came out: "You decide."
"Then let’s eat Hunan cuisine."
Hearing this, Shu Li looked towards the nearest Hunan restaurant and led the group inside.
Dazed as if in a dream.
...
The city lights gradually came on, leaving a faint glow lingering at the horizon.
Tang Language dragged her tired body to Upper East Street, then dialed Shu Li’s phone number.
But it didn’t connect.
She frowned slightly, then closed her eyes. After sensing, she arrived at the alley where Shu Li and others had just passed by.
Large shadows cast by tall buildings were fragmented by various neon lights.
Meanwhile, several strands of white fur lay quietly on the ground.
But Shu Li and the others were nowhere to be found.
Tang Language: "..."
At the same time.
Chen Lusi watched Lin Wan, who was tidying up the bowls and chopsticks, and advised, "Let me do it. Go to bed early tonight. Don’t be too nervous. I’ll accompany you to the exam tomorrow."
"It’s fine."
Lin Wan gently shook her head, "You don’t really need to worry too much."
Chen Lusi watched her for a while, confirming she wasn’t too nervous, and didn’t say more.
The two washed the dishes together.
Afterward, Lin Wan went to her room to check what she needed for tomorrow, while Chen Lusi stayed in the living room, glanced out the window, and took out his phone to inquire about the situation of Wu You and the others.
But before he could send the message, a snow-white fox suddenly jumped in from the window.
Chen Lusi paused, then witnessed with his own eyes the snow-white fox transforming into Tang Language in a gorgeous long dress.
Seeing Chen Lusi unharmed, Tang Language breathed a slight sigh of relief, but her expression still didn’t look good.
Seeing this scene, Chen Lusi roughly understood what the ’white cat’ from some time ago was about.
But this obviously wasn’t the time to focus on that.
He saw Tang Language’s expression, frowned, and asked: "What’s wrong?"
Tang Language was silent for a moment: "... Shu Li and others have disappeared too."
Chen Lusi: "..."
...
Night quietly descended, and all the neon lights in the city lit up.
No matter which city it was.
"I can’t take it! My people have been missing for almost a week now! Still no news! They’re right in front of us, but we’re not allowed to intervene! How am I supposed to explain this to the other members!"
"I’m going to Jiangchang City right now! I need to see them alive, or the corpse if they’re dead!"
In a group chat in the Celestial Strategy Mansion.
Hu Shengping suddenly left these words in the group.
"Hu Shengping, calm down!"
Yan Kan was the first to react, trying to persuade him to calm down.
But Hu Shengping didn’t respond anymore.
"What are you trying to do?"
Mount Tai also spoke up at this moment, asking.
But there was still no reply.
"I can’t reach him by phone, I’ll go check it out."
Yan Kan replied to Mount Tai.
Shortly after.
He too lost contact.
Meanwhile, the most severe smuggling incident in recent years erupted at the northernmost point of the country!
The notorious Empowerer mercenary organization, ’First Rider Position’, suddenly breached the northern border.
Many members stationed in the north at the Celestial Strategy Mansion mysteriously disappeared.
Many events occurred on this day as night just fell...
But this apparently had nothing to do with Chen Lusi for the time being.
Jiangchang City.
Half an hour later.
Chen Lusi and Tang Language arrived at the place where the fur was found.
"They were found here."
Tang Language frowned: "By the time I arrived, no one was there."
Chen Lusi looked at the building’s shadows fragmented by neon lights and remained silent for a while: "Did they intentionally leave behind the fur you gave them?"
"Unless they planned it together to leave them behind and escape, it’s unlikely they did so willingly."
Tang Language shook her head: "That possibility is very low."
Chen Lusi reached into his pocket and pulled out the white fur he was carrying: "Are you saying they encountered something that forced them to leave the fur behind?"
"It’s possible."
Tang Language nodded: "This is my fur... In some ways, it’s an ’extension’ of me, through which I can quickly locate Shu Li’s position and rapidly switch places to reach them."
Chen Lusi softly replied: "And obviously someone knows the function of this, so they had them leave it behind, making you unable to locate them..."
"Exactly."
Chen Lusi: "..."
He suddenly recalled Wu You and Xia Panqiu mentioning there might be a mole in Shu Li’s team.
If there was indeed a mole... then knowing the function of Tang Language’s fur wouldn’t be surprising.
The current issue is.
Why did Shu Li and the others obediently leave the fur behind?
Were they coerced? Threatened? Or controlled?
Where did they go now?
Tang Language saw Chen Lusi in silence and vigorously rubbed her face.
In fact, finding Chen Lusi was partly to confirm his condition, and partly as a last resort.
