Mount Tai was taken aback and then frowned, asking, "You call that a modern weapon?"
"I have never seen... a similar advanced weapon."
The clergy fell silent for a mont, then glanced in the direction of Chen Lusi, striving to maintain a calm exterior, responding, "You need to give us an explanation... What exactly is that? Why does it have such power?"
"?"
Mount Tai slowly drew a question mark, then directly said, "You can have your Bishop co talk to , or we can fire another shot, and you can feel it yourself, find your own answer."
Clergy: "..."
The three subconsciously looked towards the direction where Chen Lusi was, visibly tensing up.
Mount Tai continued, "Choosing the second option, huh? ...Li Zheng."
He directly called out to Li Zheng.
Li Zheng suddenly turned around, instinctively holding his headset, responding, "...Understood."
And as soon as he finished speaking.
The faces of the three clergy mbers imdiately changed, quickly saying, "That's not an attitude towards an ally!"
Mount Tai tugged at the corner of his mouth.
"Since you say so."
At this mont.
Yu Zhou spoke, "Then let's talk about your attitude as allies."
After speaking.
He looked down at Anna, continuing, "Betraying allies, seizing their weapons, even planning to act against them... and now you question us, if you really want to tear up the alliance, there's no need for complexity, you can directly have your Bishop co over now!"
Although Yu Zhou's voice wasn't loud, each word he uttered was accompanied by a thunderous presence.
And at the sa ti, the shadow of Dongyue behind Mount Tai started to solidify.
The two of them looked at the three clergy together, expressionless.
The expressions of the three clergy changed again, faintly hearing the sound of a gun being cocked, imdiately feeling a stabbing sensation at their backs.
... At this mont, their greatest pressure did not co from the two Celestial Strategies before them, but from the distant Chen Lusi.
The unknown is what is most terrifying.
The reason they ca out was because of the unknown.
And now, feeling a stabbing sensation at their backs is also due to the unknown.
The ground.
Anna looked at the silent three priests, her face pale, her mind blank.
Her mind felt like mush now.
All sorts of chaotic thoughts constantly erged and disappeared just as quickly.
And the only thing she could confirm now was —
The sky is about to change...
At the sa ti.
High up in the mountains.
Zhou Jian held a telescope, watching the scene in the distance, suddenly speaking quietly, "As expected... No matter who it is, as long as they witness such an attack, they will fear and dread, even if we no longer have such a weapon, they will still feel afraid."
"..."
Chen Lusi didn't have a telescope, relying solely on the 'eyes' technique was challenging, so hearing Zhou Jian's words, he could largely guess the situation was resolved, and withdrew his gaze.
Slowly standing up, he reached back to untie his ponytail, squeezing the soaked long hair, anwhile tilting his head up to look at the sky.
The heavy clouds in the sky seed to be dissipating.
It's going to clear up.
...
Four hours later.
Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters.
Ji Xin cradled a laptop, quietly looking at the briefing on it, her expression unchanged, with only occasional pauses in movent.
And the two big golden retrievers didn't dare disturb her, lying beside the wheelchair, occasionally nudging her ankle with their heads.
She took quite so ti to read the briefing word for word, finally fixating on the section describing Chen Lusi, falling into silence.
And Shan Li, standing behind Ji Xin, also saw the report.
But her reaction was a bit bigger than Ji Xin's, with her ample chest heaving, the range getting larger as she read on.
And at the end, the otherwise reticent Shani even voiced out the na of the most dazzling person in the report.
"Chen Lusi..."
"..."
Ji Xin, hearing Shan Li's voice, snapped back, slowly closing the laptop.
The two golden retrievers saw this, seemingly knowing that Ji Xin had finished her work, imdiately standing up from the ground, then looking at her, wagging their tails vigorously.
But Ji Xin didn't pay attention to her dogs, instead slightly tilting her head, suddenly asking, "Shan Li, do you think this will deter those old things?"
Shan Li paused, then firmly said, "It will... if everything in the report is true, it definitely will."
"..."
Ji Xin gently stroked the head of the golden retriever in front of her, her cold little face displaying an expression for the first ti: "I think so too."
Shan Li looked at Ji Xin's profile, sowhat surprised.
"The weapon he's holding clearly can't be called 'advanced' anymore...we should rena it."
Ji Xin continued rubbing the dog's head, "From now on call it 'Celestial Punishnt', and let's have Luo Mountain from Kunlun co over, we need to custom-make him a weapon, one that doesn't break so easily... Plus, so things indeed need to be shared with Luo Mountain."
Shan Li nodded lightly: "Okay."
"But before that."
Ji Xin looked ahead, speaking softly: "Let's release the news first, I reckon quite a few people have been waiting impatiently."
On the northernmost end of the country, everything had settled.
Li Zheng started assigning people to clean up the aftermath.
anwhile.
In the country.
In the Celestial Strategy Mansion group chat.
The topic that started yesterday was still unclosed...
I am Dust: [Brothers, are there any news from the north?]
Feng Qingxue: [Yeah, any brothers from the north here, what's the situation?]
Chong Chong Chong: [Are you crazy? Even if you know about such things, you shouldn't say them...]
Feng Qingxue: [We're not forbidden from discussing it now, it should be okay, right?]
