Chapter 576 - 54: Abnormality
"..."
Ji Xin watched Xia Yue leave.
This was a common sight.
Xia Yue always vanished like a ghost... She should be used to it, but for some reason.
This time she felt a bit uneasy.
"—Shanli!"
Ji Xin’s eyebrows furrowed tighter and tighter, the more she thought about it, the stranger it seemed.
Although she didn’t know what was wrong, the unease in her heart still drove her to loudly call out the name of her secretary and close confidant.
Shanli abruptly appeared behind her.
"Immediately contact Yu Zhou and Tang Language! Add your Authority Ability name, the three of you together call upon Luo Mountain and Mount Tai who are still in the Yellow Springs, and have them return immediately, even if they’ve found the Mother of the Underworld below! Found their dead parents! Make them come back at once!"
Ji Xin turned suddenly to look at Shanli: "My Authority Ability name can’t be used temporarily, the three of you should be enough, if that’s still not enough, then go north! Have the ninth, tenth, and eleventh squad teams cooperate with you!
Then after you settle this matter, head to Kunlun, to see exactly what is happening over there! Find out for me."
"What’s happened?"
Shanli saw a trace of urgency appear on Ji Xin’s face, a bit surprised.
"No idea."
Ji Xin looked towards the direction Xia Yue had just disappeared: "But Xia Yue was here just now, and my intuition tells me something is happening! Xia Yue is hiding something from me! But I don’t know what it is! This is the most troublesome! You need to set off immediately!"
Shanli remained silent for a moment, nodded: "Alright."
With that said.
He planned to depart.
But before he moved.
"Wait."
Ji Xin suddenly called out to him again, pointing to the Gatekeeper Chai Pool on the ground, took a deep breath: "Before you leave... Have all the Mental Empowerers at headquarters come find me, and also help me find a few doctors.
I don’t care what method they use, they must wake up Chai Pool from the ground in these two days!
Also Chen Lusi..."
She instinctively thought of Chen Lusi, but then remembered the terrifying Celestial Thunder at Chuituo Beach, stopped her words, shook her head: "Forget it, just do this, go handle it immediately!"
...
Ji Xin felt something was off, had Shanli contact Luo Mountain and Mount Tai, wanting to search for answers herself at the same time.
Xia Yue turned into a white line... like a cruise missile, flew back to Celestial Strategy Trading.
The third squad’s base.
He didn’t usually perform such operations.
After all, like he told Chen Lusi, not taking modern tools for long trips is foolish, flying around is not fun.
But this time, it was clearly different.
While Xia Yue was flying, he looked down, saw familiar scenery, couldn’t help but smile, then suddenly slowed down, avoiding ordinary people, landed on the rooftop of Celestial Strategy Trading.
Opened the door, went downstairs, walked into Celestial Strategy Trading.
Si Yujie stood behind the reception desk, resting her chin, was idly looking at her phone.
"Hey."
Xia Yue stretched lazily while walking into Celestial Strategy Trading, greeted.
"..."
Si Yujie saw Xia Yue, straightened up, slightly surprised: "Why are you back?"
"Why? I’m still Celestial Strategy of the third squad team, right? Can’t I come back?"
Xia Yue chuckled at her words: "Or are you saying I’m not welcome?"
"I’m just surprised."
Si Yujie heard this, shook her head, then took out a disposable cup, placed it in front of Xia Yue.
"At least pour a glass of water... no need to ask me what I want to drink, pouring a glass of water is fine, why just hand over the cup?"
Xia Yue picked up the cup on the table, somewhat helpless: "You’re the receptionist and the secretary, right?"
"Can’t you do it yourself?"
Si Yujie replied with mild irritation: "Do I have to waste time walking around?"
"Alright then."
Xia Yue looked at Si Yujie being so righteous, was too lazy to argue, took the cup to the water dispenser and poured a cup of water for himself.
Si Yujie looked at Xia Yue’s back and suddenly asked: "...I heard Chen Lusi’s Authority Ability is having problems?"
"Yeah."
Xia Yue paused, then asked: "Do you trust him?"
Si Yujie was a bit puzzled: "Chen Lusi? Trust him with what?"
Xia Yue thought for a moment, turned around: "Trust him to solve this problem on his own?"
Si Yujie hesitated: "I do trust him. He’s quite reliable... but this time isn’t like the previous situations, right? I heard it involves Kunlun?"
Xia Yue took a sip of water, returned to the reception desk, joked: "Then I’ll change the question, do you trust Chen Lusi can take over my role?"
"Yes."
Si Yujie answered this question much more smoothly: "I even think he’s way more reliable than you."
The smile on Xia Yue’s face brightened: "That’s good."
"So what exactly are you back for?"
Si Yujie watched Xia Yue, who seemed to be idle chatting just like before, a bit confused: "The Roman Catholic Church information was released by Celestial Strategy Mansion, right? This seems quite troublesome, plus Chen Lusi’s Authority Ability is having issues, you should have quite a few matters to handle, right?"
"It’s being dealt with, a small issue."
Xia Yue shrugged: "Let’s not talk about this, isn’t Xiaoyan about to get out of school? I should go pick her up."
"..."
Si Yujie was slightly startled, then skeptically glanced at Xia Yue: "If you really have nothing to do, should go beat those old fellows."
"Why are you so naggy?"
Xia Yue couldn’t help laughing: "I’ve been busy for most of my life, trying taking the chance to pick up the kid, enjoy a bit, what’s wrong with that?"
Si Yujie was even more suspicious: "Usually you don’t even go to pick her up? Why today so free?"
"Met a pretty young girl not long ago."
Xia Yue put down the cup, slightly lost in thought: "Suddenly even got a bit nostalgic."
Si Yujie: "..."
