"What do you an?"
Chen Lusi wasn't surprised by Tang Language's appearance.
Thinking from another perspective, if it were him sitting in Ji Xin's position, knowing that soone was crucially linked to a major dostic city in the Extraordinary Domain, he would also send soone to protect that person.
But what she said... was different.
What did she an by the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters not being quite right?
Is it that even the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters can't be assured of safety anymore?
"It's just not right!"
Hearing Chen Lusi's words, Tang Language furrowed her beautiful brows, sensing sothing was amiss, but couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong, making her a bit anxious: "My tier is higher than all of yours, my soul has been segnted, with most of it placed within a Stone, so under normal circumstances, any technique or anomaly altering perception would alert , like a cat fluffing up when sensing danger.
Just now, I had a strong sense of unease... as soon as I stepped into the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters, I felt it, then I wandered around a bit and noticed that the longer I stayed, the stronger that unease beca. Clearly, soone is continuously influencing everyone at the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters.
Moreover, the thods of the other side are very sophisticated, even though I sensed sothing was amiss, I couldn't for the life of find out what exactly was wrong... During this ti, Mount Tai, Ji Xin, and Yu Zhou have all left Headquarters, obviously giving so people an opportunity, so you need to leave now."
"..."
Chen Lusi fell silent upon hearing this.
On the other side, Anna, hearing this, staggered again, and her expression turned peculiar.
Chen Lusi glanced at her and suddenly asked, "Does this have anything to do with you?"
Upon hearing Chen Lusi's words.
Tang Language suddenly turned her head, her fair little face showing signs of beastification, glaring at Anna: "You?"
"It's none of my business."
Anna, sensing Tang Language's intent to act, imdiately stepped back, hurriedly saying: "I can't leave this cage. You should know better than , if I were the instigator, your sense of unease would surely be stronger, but do you feel uneasy now?"
"..."
Tang Language's expression paused, calming down a bit.
Indeed.
Here she didn't have that strong feeling of unease.
Chen Lusi looked at Anna for a while, sowhat disbelieving, because Anna's previous strange deanor was unusual.
But this evidently wasn't a good ti for interrogation.
Because the surprise at the beginning from the other side didn't seem fake either...
Chen Lusi pondered for half a second, then directly pulled Tang Language by the wrist and led her out the door.
Tang Language hesitated for a mont but didn't resist.
As Anna watched their backs, she opened her mouth but ultimately didn't make a sound.
Bam—
The door closed again.
On the other side.
Shan Li leaned against the corridor wall, eyes closed in rest, waiting for Chen Lusi to co out.
She had to wait.
This was a 'prison', much more sensitive than the seventh underground level. Although it seed that Chen Lusi and she had just taken the elevator down, that was because Ji Xin and Xia Yue knew they were coming to see Anna, and had granted 'visitor' status.
If an ordinary Empowerer were to co in without permission, they would imdiately beco a resident here in the next second.
And even having 'visitor' status doesn't guarantee absolute safety.
Because in addition to Anna, there are other slightly capable Empowerers detained here... Their identity is much more sensitive than Anna's and to prevent unforeseen situations, there are ergency handling plans for this prison.
Although Shan Li wasn't worried about others, for Chen Lusi...
She really feared he might trigger an ergency protocol, given he's produced so many miracles.
It can't be avoided.
As Shan Li's thoughts wandered, lost in wild speculations, she suddenly heard the sound of the door opening, imdiately opened her eyes, and turned around.
And then, she saw Chen Lusi pulling Tang Language out, freezing for a mont: "Tangyu Celestial Strategy...?"
"Do you feel sothing's not right?"
Chen Lusi directly interrupted Shan Li, getting straight to the point: "She said Headquarters is not quite right, soone is altering her perception."
"..."
Shan Li's expression turned solemn, any excess emotion disappearing from her face instantly: "What's not right?"
"Not clear."
Tang Language took over from Chen Lusi, repeating what she had just said, then added: "Regardless, let Chen Lusi leave first, I suspect this action targets him."
"..."
Shan Li didn't rush to answer but closed her eyes in thought, starting to repeatedly review everyone she had seen since arriving at Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters.
Very soon.
Chen Lusi observed as this tall woman's body began emitting chills, in the sweltering heat of the day, she even exhaled a puff of white breath.
This seed to be her Authority Ability.
About thirty seconds later.
Shan Li opened her eyes, her pupils turning a crystal-clear icy blue, calmly saying: "... Mi Jie, she's not right, although I possess all mories of her, with all transitions and sequences making perfect sense, I even recall her going on missions with Jin Yi, everything is flawless, except..."
"But, her identity is the issue. If there was soone from the Chamomile Alliance at Headquarters, then I shouldn't show up here."
Chen Lusi realized too, frowning as he looked toward the room where Anna was.
He had co to the Imperial Capital intending to ask Anna about the Church System.
If soone from the Chamomile Alliance was already at Headquarters, then why would he need to seek out Anna?
"Yes, because possessing complete mories and everything being flawless... I didn't feel anything was wrong, perhaps I've been influenced too, just not to an irreversible stage yet."
Shan Li nodded, then suddenly thought of sothing, quickly turning her head toward where the elevator was.
