Blood Demon turned his gaze back from outside the window when he heard Luo Nan's question. He asked in reply, "Brother, what do you mean by 'appropriate handling'? What standard? What reference? "
Blood Demon didn't give Luo Nan a chance to answer. He immediately said, "According to the current rules, to put it bluntly, I'm absolutely not optimistic about you.
"Things have come to a head. No matter how much you speak, advocate, or protest, the foundation in front of you is weak. You won't be able to expand your frontlines in time. Others will still fight at your doorstep, taking advantage of you.
"I believe that you are aware of this, brother. That's why you found Empress Wu and participated with her. This is tantamount to relying on the big tree that is Xia City. But there's a problem in this.
"Are the Iron Triangle of Xia City the type of people who have clear standpoints?"
The Blood Demon's words were somewhat ambiguous, but they were very clear in the context that he had been using for a long time.
"Ouyang's temperament is practically no different from yours. He's a pure researcher. He was bullied to no end in the past. Otherwise, he wouldn't have huddled with that sickly Old You for warmth. Later, he became an Extraordinary. Coupled with Empress Wu, he was only able to cover an acre of land in Xia City. Even when drawing boundaries and setting rules, he had to bring out the name of the Psychic Wave Network!
"Hehe, technology has no standpoints to speak of. It can't be attacked, and it can't be defended. Instead, it's the easiest for others to use righteousness as leverage. The more advanced it is, the more fundamental it is, the more this is the case..."
As Blood Demon spoke, he pinched his throat and changed his tone. "You're already researching such advanced theories. You're about to push the evolution of humanity. How can you have the nerve to collect a little bit of wealth and a little bit of profit?"
Luo Nan's lips twitched. He was supporting Blood Demon's wonderful performance. But was it a misconception? Why did he feel like he was hit by a stray bullet?
Blood Demon swept away his doubts in the next second. "Yes, this is what you said. You need to cooperate in technological research. You can't build a car behind closed doors... You have such a high level of awareness. What would you do if someone used this reason to look for you?"
Luo Nan immediately withdrew all the expressions of the water vapor clone.
Xue Yao continued with a smile, "Speaking of which, the Martial Empress is not like this. However, she has probably stayed under Ouyang's wing for too long, so she has to cater to him. Thus, her position has become vague. "Being allies with such a person is indeed very stable and reassuring no matter if it's a favorable or unfavorable situation. However, when it comes to matters of life and death, honor and disgrace, at the very least, you and Ouyang will end up as' extremists' in the end.
"You don't lack the courage and determination to fight with all you have, but you will still be passive. The entire situation will not change fundamentally.
"And you, the only unorthodox, unconventional craziness that you have is actually limited under the influence of such an ally."
At this point, the Blood Demon seemed to remember something. "Oh, I forgot to mention that Bai Hao was one of the architects of the Star Alliance's seamless integration of the old and new systems.
"Wang Yu is the inheritor of his political capital. Though it's said that this kid's talent in cultivation isn't all that great, he has many years of accumulated advantages under the established rules …. If you two face each other, honestly speaking, brother, you'll be at a disadvantage!"
Luo Nan grunted. He pondered for a moment before speaking, "Mr. Blood Demon, you seem to be quite certain that I'm going to face off against Wang Yu?"
Xue Yao chuckled, "You're all youngsters. You're going to run into each other more or less."
Luo Nan didn't carefully guess how much of Xue Yao's words were a reminder and how much of it was a provocation. He didn't want to be tormented by this sort of preaching anymore. He shook his head.
"Since I'm asking for guidance from you, Mr. Blood Demon, it's obviously beneficial for me. It's something that can reverse the situation …. Actually, I've considered a few countermeasures, and they all seem to be within the 'extreme' category that you speak of.
"Of course, I don't believe that what I'm doing is wrong. Or rather, what I'm about to do is wrong. If something is wrong, then it's the people who did things before that are wrong. It's the people who still want to walk down the so-called 'rules' that are wrong …. I'm certain of this. "
Xue Yao was clearly very serious, but Luo Nan began to laugh as he spoke.
There were some things that didn't need to be said. He wasn't so simple as to measure this world with right and wrong. However, the 'old system' and the 'rules' that Xue Yao spoke of were nothing more than a set pattern that had been accumulated over thousands of years of human civilization. They were merely the way that people who grasped power and resources were accustomed to doing things.
Even Luo Nan, with his immature and shallow experience, was able to pry into the source.
He also understood the reason why he wasn't acclimatized. Although he had been tempered time and time again since he was ten, he received the care of his aunt's family. He didn't have to worry about food or clothing. His social circle had always been stable in the middle class of the common people, far away from the hierarchy of power. He had never been accustomed to such considerations.
Now that he had suddenly risen in status, his thoughts needed a period of polishing in order to keep up with the pace ….
Polishing my ass!
Luo Nan absolutely didn't want to polish himself on this matter. The reason was very simple. How could he have the time and energy for this?
This wasn't some godly secret manual. It wasn't the truth of the universe. What value was there for him to learn and follow?
What was normal in the eyes of others was distorted in the depths of his eyes, and vice versa.
When all was said and done, Zhao Duan was still that 'me'. It was a coordinate system that spread out with a different 'me' as the starting point ….
It was misplaced.
Whether it was the relatively objective structure of time and space, or the relatively subjective flood of the human heart, they could all be described in this way.
From this point of view, the standpoint and standard that Blood Demon spoke of, as well as the source of conflict that was pointed out, were the insights of wisdom. There were no problems at all.
Luo Nan looked at Blood Demon.
Blood Demon's eyes weren't particularly large, and they weren't clear enough. They were a bit muddy. This made it so that all of his expressions weren't clear enough. Perhaps it was because of this that Blood Demon's tone of voice and body language were especially bold and exaggerated. Coupled with his outstanding conversational skills, it gave people a feeling of familiarity at first sight ….
But when their gazes truly connected, collided, and crossed swords, this pair of eyes gave people a different kind of pressure. It was a reminder:
This isn't a good thing!
In the past, Luo Nan's observations stopped here.
But in this moment, Luo Nan discovered that behind these muddy eyes, there was still a radiance that belonged to the pinnacle of human evolution.
Luo Nan suddenly had an idea: If he wanted to paint a portrait of Blood Demon, then he probably knew where to start!
Blood Demon didn't know what Luo Nan was thinking. He had led Luo Nan in such a large circle. It didn't matter if he was tactful or shrewd, in the end, there would still be a moment when his true intentions were revealed.
He felt that Luo Nan should have made his preparations. "Since you've spoken so sincerely, as your older brother, I can't hide anything. I'll give you a train of thought.
"Backdoor listing …. Do you understand?"
