Luo Nan wanted to immediately call Yue Qin, but he turned to glance at Blood Demon and the others. They were still waiting idly by the elevator. His mind stirred, and he nodded in that direction.
"My classmate is looking for me. It's probably a bit of a private matter …."
He paused here and said, "Actually, you two don't need to keep me company. Isn't Takar and Dr. Bai always following me?"
Bai Xinyan was fine, but Takar's eyes were wide open. His words were stuck in his throat.
Why am I always following you?
Takar's expression was rich, but the problem was that no one paid attention to him.
Blood Demon and Wan Liuhua looked at each other. We're being ignored!
Okay, this is a joke. In fact, they could feel that Luo Nan's words were unclear, but they were exceptionally clear about his' purpose '.
It seemed that this fellow wanted to do something!
The kind that would look for trouble.
Yes, they could see that Luo Nan was still young. Perhaps he felt that it wasn't good to lose face in the face of complicated interpersonal relationships, or perhaps he instinctively rejected the tyrannical behavior of bullying the weak …. In short, the two Extraordinaries, who could suppress the vast majority of variables, had become burdens.
The two Extraordinaries were unable to fully understand Luo Nan's mental journey for a while. However, they were all intelligent people, so they didn't need to speak too bluntly.
A large part of the reason why they kept following Luo Nan was because they were worried that Luo Nan would directly clash with the Extraordinaries on the Jadeite Light Ship. It might even escalate, adding variables to their future plans.
Right now, the most troublesome few people had either directly or indirectly met face to face. The possibility of a direct conflict or a violent conflict was already very small.
Luo Nan's current state had absolutely no problems with his personal safety ….
"That's fine. I need to go take care of some things." Wan Liuhua had been called over by Blood Demon at the last minute. As a high level member of the Eye of Secret Deeds, there were quite a few matters that needed to be taken care of before entering this huge maelstrom.
Wan Liuhua did things in a straightforward manner. Since she had spoken, she didn't stay any longer. She entered the elevator, turned around, and smiled at Luo Nan.
"Call me anytime if you need anything."
Luo Nan bowed in thanks.
Seeing the elevator door close, Blood Demon impatiently clicked his tongue twice. "Your luck with women is quite good. Don't look at this Master Style smiling all the way here. He's usually a fierce character. "
Luo Nan ignored these senseless words. He just asked, "What about you, Mr. Blood Demon? What are your plans?"
Blood Demon, who was despised again, was still smiling happily. "Actually, I hired you to be my artist today. I didn't expect that we would get along so well, and many of the drawings went beyond the scope …"
Some words came out of the Blood Demon's mouth, but the meaning was the same. "I originally wanted to bring you to experience a few small circles, but since you have your own ideas, I can't force you … Since I've already said it, I have to do something about it. How about this, I'll make the arrangements and see if I can find a few who don't look so repulsive. I'll call you later. "
"Okay." Luo Nan answered in a straightforward manner.
"… Why isn't there any sincerity?"
"Didn't you agree?"
"This is a bad omen."
The Blood Demon chuckled and said no more. Without using the elevator, he turned around and left with a smile on his face.
In this way, only Luo Nan, Takar, and Bai Xinyan were left in the elevator.
From the beginning to the end, no one asked for their opinion.
Bai Xinyan was calm and collected. In comparison, Takkar was a little impatient.
Yes.
Perhaps it was because he had lost two nemesis characters in a row, but he was finally able to breathe. His courage grew when he was angry. After hesitating for a moment, Takkar finally asked the question.
"Ro, Ro … Um. What do you want me to do?"
He emphasized the word "I" and blurred out the words "Uncle Luo" at the same time.
Luo Nan didn't mind. He just laughed. "Be a bodyguard."
"Since when am I a bodyguard?"
"Aren't you? Then let's be clear about it. "
Takkar was speechless for a time.
Clearly, Luo Nan wasn't going to reason with him. He could only blame Blood Demon for his terrible demonstration.
Luo Nan really did have a plan for using Takkar. He had a plan on the plane, forming a basic train of thought. It was just that the details were not clear. The main thing was that Luo Nan's previous experience might not be useful.
In any case, there were still a few hours left. This fellow looked like he had rough skin and thick flesh. He should be able to endure being tossed around.
Luo Nan had a plan in mind, so he no longer paid attention to Takkar. He had to take care of some miscellaneous matters before doing proper business. He activated his wristband from several thousand kilometers away and contacted Yue Qin.
The call was answered in an instant.
"Mr. Luo!"
They were classmates and alumni. This form of address was far too polite. It was a deformed beginning. It was hard to avoid awkwardness later on. Yue Qin wanted peace of mind. Fortunately, they were gradually getting used to it.
"My father asked for your number just now, Mr. Luo. I didn't tell him directly …."
Yue Qin's words were polite, but she went straight to the point. She really wasn't in the mood to engage in small talk. "I think that he might have encountered some trouble. His mind is uneasy. Otherwise, he would have remembered that he contacted you through me at the end of last year."
"Oh, something like that happened." Luo Nan nodded. He remembered this detail as well. At the same time, he felt that the nickname Xian 'er that the doll gave Yue Qin couldn't be more appropriate. She always had an intelligent and calm personality.
"My father is currently on the Jadeite Light. He said that he saw you not too long ago …."
"Yes, that's right."
Yue Qin didn't ask why Luo Nan was there. Of course, she didn't say that Mo Han still believed that Luo Nan was still in closed-door training in Xia City's laboratory. She just asked politely and carefully:
"My father definitely needs help, but that place isn't like Xia City …. Mr. Luo, can I give him your number?"
"Sure." Since Luo Nan had returned the call, he had made preparations in this regard. He agreed quite straightforwardly.
Yue Qin considered things a bit more. When asking for help, she needed to explain the sequence of events as clearly as possible. Only then would she not be embarrassed and even cause misunderstandings.
She carefully considered her words and did her best to tell Luo Nan everything she knew. "My father and my brother are together. They are here to treat the problem of an infection …."
Yue Qin's tongue was nimble. She explained the sequence of events clearly with just a few words. Of course, there were some details that she couldn't grasp.
Luo Nan didn't mind because he had already grasped the keywords.
"Clay's laboratory."
Luo Nan's gaze turned to Bai Xinyan. She could be considered half the main character. He grinned and comforted Yue Qin. "I understand. You don't need to worry. I will understand the specifics of the situation from Uncle. Okay. Otherwise, you can give me Uncle's number. It's the same. "
Luo Nan's attitude was very polite. He didn't deliberately put on airs.
Yue Qin clearly let out a breath of relief.
She said that she would immediately transfer Luo Nan's number to her father and let him get in touch with Luo Nan.
The call ended quickly and efficiently. Luo Nan quite approved of the other side's attitude. He thought about how he would have to call in a bit, so he simply stopped in the elevator and turned his gaze to Bai Xinyan.
"What kind of demonic moth are you guys up to now?"
Bai Xinyan looked a bit surprised. "You're talking about Yue Qi's son, right? That young man is in Team C. He's a different kind of VIP. No matter how much the laboratory tosses and turns, it wouldn't cause trouble for its future customer! "
Luo Nan coughed. "Start from the beginning."
He looked at Bai Xinyan up and down. "I found it strange just now. Yue Qin's brother, his name is Yue Zheng, right? He was infected in Xia City. How did he hook up with you guys across the Pacific Ocean?
"Oh, the course of the disease isn't right. He was infected at the beginning of the year. It's been almost half a year. If he hasn't been cured by now, then he should be in the severe third stage! "
Bai Xinyan pursed her lips into a smile. "This involves a few problems on the research and technical level."
"Can you be a bit more direct?" Luo Nan's lips twitched. The water vapor body reflected his thoughts, and he subconsciously moved his fingers. His thumb and index finger unfolded one after the other. His middle finger was about to come out.
It looked like it was going to be the third time soon ….
It was unknown whether or not Bai Xinyan understood Luo Nan's hand gestures. In any case, she did explain a bit more.
"Mr. Luo, perhaps you're paying more attention to the auction for this event organized on the Jadeite Light. But the essence of the event is actually an exhibition and an exchange meeting concerning the research and application of distortion technology. Or perhaps it's a trade fair for the results of distortion research in recent years.
"Among them, the controllable distortion technology is one of the most eye-catching ones."
Luo Nan's fingers paused. "Controllable distortion?"
"That's right. It's using the dangerous external stimulation of distortion infection to find one or even several subversive human evolutionary paths.
"To put it simply, through this experiment, a new path can be opened between ordinary people and ability users. It's independent of the two existing paths of self-awakening and Burner transformation."
Bai Xinyan spoke with fervor and assurance. She spoke of everything she knew without holding back. She spoke without reserve. Admittedly, she spoke in a straightforward manner, but her contents possessed a shocking power.
In the end, Luo Nan still extended his middle finger. His three fingers remained there, but his meaning had already changed completely.
"A third path?"
"At least that's what the presentation said. It's the product of multiple technological collaborations. LCRF, Tianqi, Deep Blue, and a few private laboratories have all joined in. They've all achieved certain results. And Dr. Clay, my mentor, presides over the laboratory. He's the demonstrator of this technological achievement. "
"The goal of doing this is to explore its value a step further …. Right now is the time to expand its influence within a certain range and find even more supporters."
Luo Nan raised his eyebrows.
And at this moment, a communication wave activated the wristband of Gear's underground laboratory far away on the north bank. This call was within his expectations, but Luo Nan was surprised when he noticed the caller:
"Hello, Student Yue Qin?"
"Mr. Luo!"
Yue Qin's enunciation was as clear as before, but compared to a few minutes ago, the speed of her speech was clearly faster. Her choice of words was less particular, and her final words were a bit shaky:
"Mr. Luo, I can't contact my father."
"Huh?"
"There's also Yue Zheng. There's also Uncle Liu. There's also Secretary Zeng …. They aren't picking up the phone!"
