How come you have such strong superpowers?

Chen Lusi has met Lan for the first time.

She seems to have the ability to appear elusive.

When Chen Lusi came down the mountain to worship his ancestors.

When he returned to his hometown after worshiping his ancestors.

After that inexplicable black rain.

After he was promoted to become an enabler... of course, including at this moment.

She always seemed to suddenly appear in front of him at the right or inappropriate time, and then suddenly disappear again at a certain point in time, without any news.

Just compared to before.

Chen Lusi no longer knows nothing.

At least this time.

Chen Lusi guessed where she went.

After all, all his authority and ability came from the little girl in front of him. It was her knife in the rain that made him an empowerer.

But now, he will suffer divine punishment for using his authority ability. Xia Yue said that the most interesting thing he saw in the mainstream of Huangquan was his authority ability, and the legend of Kunlun suddenly became active.

In addition, Zhang Xiufeng just said a word worth paying attention to - liberate him.

So it is self-evident where Lan has gone.

Chen Lusi actually didn't find the cat yesterday, so he probably guessed that the incident this time might have something to do with Lan.

only.

He didn't expect that.

In the end, Lan will come back and stand in front of him.

"..."

Lan gently held Chen Lusi's hand and noticed that Chen Lusi was looking over. He turned to look at the giant ant held in his other hand. Then he slowly lowered his head and looked at Chen Lusi's pants. He didn't know what he was thinking. .

Chen Lusi looked at her, remained silent for a moment, held her hand, led her into the house, and then placed the ants wrapped in purple mist on the table.

"So, where have you been?"

After Chen Lusi had his hands free, he slowly squatted down, looked at the little girl who was only as tall as his waist, and asked softly.

"..."

Lan's pink and jade-carved little face had no expression at all, and she looked at him calmly.

No intention of speaking.

Chen Lusi found that Lan seemed to have changed.

This change is not obvious, probably because she was like this before.

But Chen Lusi could sense that the ethereal, inexplicable sense of space and holiness in her body was getting stronger and stronger.

And the whole person is becoming more and more like an emotionless doll.

Although she had felt this way before, Chen Lusi could still occasionally see some traces of emotion in her.

For example, when he picked her up by her armpits, or when he watched him play games.

Although it is subtle and fleeting.

But you can definitely feel it.

But at this moment.

All the subtle emotions in her body disappeared.

The only thing left is emptiness.

She was obviously standing in front of Chen Lusi.

But Chen Lusi felt as if she didn't exist, as if what was standing in front of him at this moment was just a body that followed the instincts of the past.

Even when Lan held his hand just now, there was no extra emotion. It felt like she was just imitating some actions that Chen Lusi could understand.

So what exactly happened?

If what happened in Kunlun is really related to Lan in front of me.

Then why did he come back to find me?

Are you reluctant to give up?

Chen Lusi looked at Lan's expressionless face, then shook his head gently.

impossible.

For Lan at this moment, maybe he doesn't even know what reluctance is.

Then why...

Chen Lu was thinking about it, then suddenly paused and looked at Lan again.

He suddenly remembered a few words she had said when she first wrote down Lan's name.

[I grew up by devouring the nutrients you gave me, and I grew up carrying your wishes. I am the proof of your existence. 】

【My name is Lan. 】

[My desire to devour you has grown...and now I give it back to you. 】

at the same time.

Chen Lusi also remembered the strong emotional outburst when he was alone with Lin Ying a few days ago.

The complex emotions that almost burst out and the extremely strong possessive desire...

"..."

Chen Lusi probably understood. He reached out and pressed Lan's shoulder, and then asked softly: "Is it still over?"

"..."

Lan looked at Chen Lusi, her face still expressionless and she didn't speak.

She at this moment.

Just an empty shell.

Maybe...it's no different from the so-called 'Kua'e' on the table.

It is just a symbol and will only act according to the source code.

They never had human nature, they were just 'machines' born from primitive worship and sacrifice.

The reason why she appeared here may just be because of the previous influence, which made her subconsciously follow her remaining instincts and find Chen Lusi.

It's like there's still a little bit of instinct left in the ghost.

What she did in Kunlun is no longer important.

Things have happened.

And Lan has also disappeared with him.

"..."

When this is noticed.

Chen Lusi looked at the little girl in front of him and fell into silence.

After a long time.

He slowly let go of Lan's shoulder, then said "Wait a moment" and turned around and walked into Lin Ying's room.

About a minute later.

Chen Lusi came out again, but Lan still stood there, motionless.

"I don't know what happened. I don't even know who you are now, although I gave you a name."

Chen Lusi knelt down behind her, held the long silky hair behind her head, and said softly: "I don't know what you went through, what you did in Kunlun, and why you finally gave me your desire.

But no matter what, if you have really swallowed my desire to grow and carried my wish to adulthood, then live well and remember not to run around in the future. "

Chen Lusi said while helping him tie a ponytail.

What happened in Kunlun this time was definitely related to Lan, but Chen Lusi really couldn't blame a little girl.

Even though this little girl looks extraordinary.

No matter how you look at it, you are not an ordinary person.

Lan: "..."

"alright."

Chen Lusi used Lin Ying's rubber band to tie her ponytail, then put down his hand, supported her shoulders, and asked her to turn around.

Lan turned around, still looking at Chen Lusi expressionlessly.

Chen Lusi looked around, stretched out her hand to help him adjust her ponytail, then rubbed her head and said softly: "It looks pretty."

Lan: "..."

"..."

Chen Lusi didn't say anything more, stood up with his knees on his knees, then breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and came to the table.

But soon, he thought of something and fell back again. He took Lan's hand and led her to the sofa. Then he held her armpits, picked her up and let her sit on the sofa. .

"..."

Lan didn't struggle and sat quietly on the sofa, looking at Chen Lusi.

Chen Lusi didn't say anything else. He just picked up the 'Kua'e' that Zhang Xiufeng gave him on the table, turned around and walked into the room.

Lan looked at Chen Lusi and watched him walk into the room until Chen Lusi completely disappeared.

She was still looking at Chen Lusi's room, motionless.

Then.

About ten minutes later.

She suddenly turned her head slightly, shook her head slightly, and at the same time caused the high ponytail behind her head to shake slightly.

…

Chen Lusi closed the door, then pulled out the chair, sat down, and placed the purple mist wrapped in the giant ant in his hand on the table.

The ant crawled back and forth in the irregular and constantly changing mist.

It really doesn't look like the legendary Kunlun God at all.

And Chen Lusi didn't know what to do with this thing.

After all.

Xia Yue didn't give him any instructions, and Zhang Xiufeng certainly didn't know how to deal with such a Kunlun god who was born from the worship of animals and plants and was still in the most primitive stage.

Chen Lusi actually didn't know either.

Although Xia Yue told him that this might be very useful to him, allowing him to better imitate his authority and ability.

But Chen Lusi didn't know how to use it at all, not to mention that he couldn't use his authority yet.

certainly.

The most important reason was that he was still digesting the news brought by Zhang Xiufeng.

It was only interrupted by the sudden appearance of Lan.

"..."

Chen Lusi looked at the giant ants on the table. To be honest, he didn't understand the meaning of Xia Yue giving this thing to him.

He should be very aware of the situation he is facing.

Do you want to tell yourself that a scene similar to divine punishment will not happen again?

Or do you want to tell yourself that if there is a way to deal with divine punishment in the future, try it again?

Or does he just believe in himself?

Chen Lusi didn't understand at all.

Just like he couldn't understand Xia Yue's choice.

He should know better than anyone else what he means to Tiance Mansion...

Now Chen Lusi finally knows what happened in Kunlun.

But the doubts in his heart not only did not decrease, but actually increased.

The matter of Xia Yue's death was still 'frozen', isolated in the corner of his heart.

He can still look at this matter rationally.

But the calmer you are, the more doubts you have.

He still didn't know what to do.

why?

Chen Lusi looked at the giant ants on the table in silence, unable to figure it out at all.

So he hesitated for a moment, slowly took out his cell phone, and then dialed Si Yujie's number.

The phone rang several times.

The call was quickly connected.

"What's wrong?"

Si Yujie's voice was a little tired, but very calm.

It could be heard that she was trying her best to imitate her normal tone.

"..."

Chen Lu thought for a while and told Si Yujie about Zhang Xiufeng's visit to him just now.

Including what happened in Kunlun.

After Si Yujie listened, she was silent for a long time, and then said softly: "This is really his style...it's annoying, but I have to admit, it's really awesome."

"..."

Chen Lusi originally wanted to find an answer through this matter.

But he didn't expect that Si Yujie would say such a thing after listening to it.

After being silent for a long time, he finally asked the doubts in his heart: "Don't you think it's strange? Xia Yue should know his significance to Tiance Mansion better than we do.

I think there should be a better way to deal with it, such as... stripping away my authority.

If it is really because of me that the legend of Kunlun was activated. "

"Not surprising at all."

Si Yujie heard this on the other end of the phone, forced a smile, and continued: "Chen Lusi, there are such self-righteous people in the world. Let's not talk about whether your authority and ability can be deprived of you. Even if it can be deprived, I guess an idiot like Xia Yue wouldn't do this.

He will still choose to deal with the gods. Whether you say he is confident or you say he is conceited, in short, he is that kind of person.

Even if you were replaced by Wu You or Xia Panqiu, his choice would still not change. After all, you are a member of the third team, right?

What's more, this is not just because of you... Even without you, if Zhang Xiufeng and others' guesses are correct, Kunlun will probably still have legend activation in the future.

Xia Yue will still solve this problem, this idiot who calls himself... a protector is like this. "

Chen Lusi: "..."

"So stop imagining things."

Si Yujie took a deep breath, and then continued: "Also, although that idiot Xia Yue said that he believed in you, he usually just thinks it out...so you don't want the so-called 'Kua'e family' for the time being. move.

Again, don’t try to counteract your own authority and ability easily. "

Chen Lusi was slightly startled when he heard this. After a long time, he replied: "Okay."

"Well, pay attention to your safety. I'm here..."

Si Yujie gave one final warning.

But the words are not yet finished.

Chen Lusi interrupted her and asked, "Sister Si Yu, does this count as protection?"

Si Yujie on the other end of the phone seemed a little surprised, but she still replied softly: "Well, after all, you are my team member now, aren't you?"

"..."

After hearing the exact answer, Chen Lusi was silent for a while, and then suddenly asked: "Are you scared now?"

"..."

Si Yujie heard this and did not answer immediately.

But after being silent for a while, he smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, it's a bit. After all, that idiot Xia Yue is indeed very important. The current situation is really complicated... But it doesn't matter. I am better than Tang Yu after all."

Although it doesn't matter.

But it could be heard that the actual situation was far from as easy as she made it sound.

Chen Lusi sat on the chair and fell silent again after hearing this.

Si Yujie explained a few more words and then hung up the phone.

She also had to prepare for her trip to the imperial capital the next day.

Chen Lusi listened to the beep of hanging up, slowly put down the phone, then sat quietly for a while, hesitated for a moment, and called Xia Panqiu again.

"Chen Lusi..."

As soon as the call was dialed, Xia Panqiu's slightly crying voice came.

Chen Lusi also told her what happened in Kunlun.

Xia Panqiu did not comment on this, just sobbed.

But finally, before hanging up the phone.

She said the same thing to Si Yujie... asking Chen Lusi not to use his authority for the time being.

But this time Chen Lusi did not ask Xia Panqiu if she was afraid.

Because there is no need to ask.

As for Wu You in the end, Chen Lusi thought there would be changes.

But still the same result.

Chen Lusi hung up the phone again, then slowly put down the phone, looked at the giant ants on the table again, and sat there for a long time.

Wait until he comes to his senses.

It was already evening.

Chen Lusi turned his head slightly stiffly and glanced at the setting sun projected into the house through the window. To be honest, he still didn't understand what Xia Yue wanted him to do when he handed over the 'Kua'e Family' to him.

So she still didn't know what to do with the 'Kua'e family' on the table.

And after talking to Si Yujie and the other three people.

Many thoughts appeared in his mind, but he could never connect them together.

This makes me a little irritated.

He glanced at the giant ant on the table again, then looked away and looked at the laptop beside him, intending to turn his attention to updating the first and second chapters of the novel that had been sent out yesterday.

There was nothing he could do at the moment anyway.

Chen Lusi opened his laptop, woke up the screen, put his fingers on the keyboard, and then... couldn't help but look at the giant ant beside him again.

He couldn't help but wonder... what kind of character would someone like Xia Yue be in a novel?

Chen Lusi began to use his poor imagination to try his best to imagine.

It is actually not difficult to find the corresponding role.

Although he has no talent and poor imagination, he is still diligent and knows a lot of tricks.

There are many powerful characters like Xia Yue in various novels.

There are many people in various novels who are as powerful as Xia Yue and are willing to sacrifice their lives to protect others.

...are you willing to give your life to protect others?

Chen Lu was thinking about it, and suddenly he was in a trance.

He suddenly remembered what Si Yujie said just now.

And...the conversation I had with Xia Yue.

"...Then I'll try not to get you into any trouble, and I'll help you deal with Lu Hao's affairs, how about that?"

"Well, thank you."

"But correspondingly, I hope you can promise me something."

"What?"

"Try to help me protect this place and protect my rear."

"..."

"..."

Chen Lusi slowly came back to his senses, looked at the giant ants wrapped in purple mist on the table, pursed his lips, and remained silent.

He suddenly understood the reason why Xia Yue handed over the Kua'e family to him.

I'll leave it to you next... to be precise, it should be left to you next.

The reason why he didn't understand just now.

Just because... he has never been fully integrated into the third team, not because the time was too short, but because he didn't want to take on too much responsibility.

Therefore, he has always been outside and viewed his relationship with every colleague rationally.

After all, when you receive rights and care, you must also bear corresponding responsibilities.

And Chen Lusi has always felt that he is not capable of taking on so much responsibility.

Being responsible for two sisters is already the limit.

So he couldn't understand Xia Yue's choice. He could obviously solve the problem by sacrificing a few people through other methods, but he chose to face the gods directly.

So he didn't know the reason why Xia Yue handed over the Kua'e family to him. It was actually very simple. Xia Yue just wanted him to protect Si Yujie and others.

So he couldn't understand why Si Yujie, Xia Panqiu and Wu You took the trouble to tell him not to release his power.

He even prepared a retreat.

Chen Lusi looked at the original manuscript of the novel in his notebook.

When he decided to send out the manuscript of the novel, he probably had already made up his mind... to quit Tiance Mansion when the time was right.

Because he wants the two sisters to stabilize.

It’s just the day after the novel was sent out.

News of Xia Yue's death spread.

The powerful Xia Yue died...all plans were disrupted.

But he still habitually followed his previous preparations and acted.

Therefore, he was able to isolate Xia Yue's death in the corner of his heart and look at it from a calm perspective.

So he could ask Si Yujie, 'Don't you think it's strange?'

So he can sit here with peace of mind.

Then please ask.

…Is this really okay?

"..."

Because I haven't typed on the keyboard for a long time.

In front of Chen Lusi, the screen of the laptop went dark and went dark, reflecting his face.

He looked at his face on the laptop screen, and a question came to his mind.

Obviously Xia Panqiu and Wu You are both scared, and Si Yujie is not feeling well either. However, in this situation, they still ask themselves to pay attention to their own safety, and even bother to tell themselves not to use their authority and ability, and to think about their own safety. .

It was obvious that Xia Yue died to protect himself to some extent, and he also 'frozen' the matter of his death, isolated it in the corner of his heart, and looked at it from an absolutely calm perspective.

Obviously he is also a member of the third brigade.

They hold nothing back.

But he is sitting here.

Obviously after Xia Yue's death, he was the strongest substitute and should become the backbone of Si Yujie and others.

Now I sit here with peace of mind.

Is this... really okay?

If it were said that all of his desires were swallowed up by Lan.

Don't understand these things.

Now Lan has returned all his desires and even turned into a doll without any emotions!

Why are you still like this?

What's the use of desires and emotions?

Just because you're afraid of divine punishment?

Just because you're afraid of taking responsibility?

Then you looked at Si Yujie and others helpless, worried and scared?

Just sit there with peace of mind?

Is this... really okay?

"..."

[No matter what, Lin Wan and I will be by your side, so follow your inner thoughts.

… Whatever you want to do, do it and we will support you unconditionally, no matter what. 】

at last.

Lin Ying's words echoed in his mind.

Chen Lusi took a deep breath, and the hand that had been hovering over the keyboard finally moved.

He reawakened the screen, then directly opened the writer's backend, quickly coded a line of words, and then slowly stood up and looked at the giant ant wrapped in purple mist, the Kunlun god 'Kua'e'.

Directly raise your right arm and activate your authority ability!

Flesh and blood twisted!

The thin sharp edge suddenly appeared!

"...Fuck you, God!"

Chen Lusi raised the twisted blade of flesh and blood in his right hand and swung it downwards.

Click——

The thin blade instantly cut through the ever-changing purple mist, directly cutting the giant ant inside into two pieces!

A sharp, slightly frightened scream sounded out.

then.

The purple mist and ants turned into clouds and smoke and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

at the same time.

Boom——

Thunder suddenly breaks out.

The soft sunset shining through the window disappeared.

But Chen Lusi did not look at the sky outside the window at all, nor did he look at the laptop on the table. Instead, he directly chose to turn around and leave.

boom.

The door was slammed shut.

And the room suddenly became quiet.

Only the laptop screen was still on, displaying the chapter of the novel that Chen Lusi had just sent——

【No more updates in the future. 】

【I want to protect important people. 】

…

living room.

Lan didn't sit on the sofa again.

So Chen Lusi left without seeing her.

She appeared in the bathroom and was standing in front of the mirror.

She stood in front of the mirror, looking at the mirror that reflected her appearance and ponytail, not knowing what she was thinking.

…

at the same time.

Tiance Trading.

Si Yujie, Xia Panqiu, and Wu You, plus a little girl who had realized something was wrong and pursed her lips and said nothing, were discussing what they might encounter when they go to the Tiance Mansion headquarters tomorrow.

But suddenly, the soft sunset outside disappeared.

In a blink of an eye.

There was a rumble of thunder.

The sky is clouded over.

Even if a few people were indoors, it was obvious that something was not normal.

Because in an instant, the sky changed, and the light in the room was instantly swallowed up by darkness.

"……what happened?"

Wu You stared at the changes in the sky outside the window and his eyes widened suddenly.

Xia Panqiu and Si Yujie were also stunned for a moment, and then they suddenly came to their senses and their expressions changed drastically: "Chen Lusi..."

Say it.

The two of them were about to rush out to see Chen Lusi's condition.

Wu You also reacted and jumped up from his chair.

But as soon as the three of them turned around, they saw Chen Lusi... standing at the entrance of Tiance Trading.

The three of them were startled.

"..."

Chen Lusi looked at the stunned people, slowly walked forward, and said calmly: "I'll do it."

"……What?"

Si Yujie looked at Chen Lusi, her red lips slightly parted, as if she hadn't reacted yet.

"The genius of the Third Brigade."

Chen Lusi stopped, stood in front of a few people, and then calmly announced: "I will take charge."
