"The other side of the wall is the quarantine area. There's also an underground fighting arena."
Crag Burst couldn't see anything other than the white wall. But Luo Nan was different. His soul body had already passed through the wall. He had gone in and out of the building countless times. He was probably more clear about the layout inside than the designer.
He combined the information he obtained earlier and explained to Crag Burst: "Originally, the quarantine area didn't allow for any other arrangements aside from surveillance and defense systems. But the management of the building made modifications in order to ensure the size of the area and the viewing effect. They occupied a portion of the surrounding area."
"This formed a fuzzy zone. The gangs of the recycling stratum can interact with the gamblers of the upper world. One side pays in money, and the other side pays in manpower. Jack is one of the true controllers of this fuzzy zone. This is his lair and his cornucopia. "
Crag Burst didn't ask for more details. As a man who frequently entered and exited the underground fighting arena, he was even more clear than Luo Nan about the inside of the building. The management of the building should be the House of Bankers. Only through this place could one transform incorporeal credit into tangible wealth in the current society of credit and authority.
But he didn't care about this at all. He was only interested in how to capture Jack: "Jack is in the fighting arena right? How do we get in? Do we smash a passageway out? "
Crag Burst was a bit eager to give it a try.
"This is a passageway. It's used for emergency evacuation. The design is that it can only be opened from the inside." Luo Nan let Ink flap its wings to wake up this bro whose brain was filled with violence. The problem was that it was completely ineffective.
"Roar roar. Let's be a bit more direct. Watch me."
"No. Wait. Wait a few more seconds."
Luo Nan's voice had yet to fall when the white wall in front of him slid to one side. The inner layer of steel plates slid in the opposite direction. Only then did the ice-cold metal wall appear. But this wall also split open from the middle, revealing a dimly lit passageway.
Three layers of protection, especially the last layer that was ten centimeters thick, made Crag Burst speechless for a time. He didn't bring up using violence to open a passageway again.
As for the passageway in front of them, it wasn't too long. One could see to the end with a glance. The door on the other side was half open. An even more intense light seeped in. There was also clamorous noise coming in. Clearly, the outside was a certain location of the underground fighting arena.
Crag Burst first looked at his feet. There was a person sitting down in the passageway. The person was already unconscious. He turned his head and looked around. Soon, he found that there was a password plate on top of the man's head. The corresponding screen showed that the password plate had been successfully opened.
"Your … mole?"
Crag Burst quickly corrected this preposterous thought, but the following conjecture was even more preposterous to him: "Don't tell me that you controlled this guy through the wall and made him open the door?"
Bullseye!
Speaking of which, the effects of hypnosis combined with the Human-Faced Arachnid's Fishing Technique were quite decent.
Luo Nan just chuckled through the HexaEar, maintaining a bit of a sense of mystery. He indicated to Crag Burst to close this emergency passageway. This place was certainly connected to the control room. Though they couldn't hide it for too long, they could hide it for as long as they could.
"What the hell, this isn't just Spirit Attachment … it's some kind of ability enhancement. Actually, you can let the crow have some of your abilities, right? Do you have wizard blood? Or do you come from some secret order? "
Crag Burst's thoughts were getting more and more outrageous. Luo Nan was really worried that the words "His soul is in an out-of-body state" would come out of Crag Burst's mouth. Luo Nan could only interrupt Crag Burst once more: "Let's speed things up. It's very likely that Jack is only using this place as a transit point. The isolated area can't enter the business district of DeShang Building, but there's a direct passageway to the upper city district. "
Crag Burst immediately shut his mouth. He simply cleaned up the scene and passed through the passageway.
There was a circular hallway outside. The curvature was extremely obvious, making people feel that the space was indeed limited. The operator of this place had indeed made use of the space to the extreme. On the concave side of the wall, there was a curved wall projection every now and then. On it, there was an exciting scene in the arena.
"Sure enough, they're all kids."
Crag Burst's brows furrowed. He was a professional, so he felt vexed by the various scenes displayed on the screen: "They have a certain amount of fighting techniques, but they're all competing in the dark and ruthless. They're trying to kill people!"
Many of the scenes of being knocked down on the screen had broken hands and feet, or they had been struck in a vital spot. Crag Burst wouldn't even blink an eye at these things in the adult fighting world. But the two combatants on the screen didn't look to be older than fifteen, which was the same age as Luo Nan.
They were a group of half-grown kids. They didn't hold back in the slightest. Did they really know what this represented?
Many of them knew, judging by the ominous glint in their eyes. And the feeling brought about by this sort of warped thinking made people feel even more uncomfortable.
The sound of footsteps came from both sides of the hallway at this time. Crag Burst's intentions were to just go up and be done with it. But Luo Nan indicated for Crag Burst to go to the other side, to a room with a thick curtain covering the door.
Crag Burst thought that this was the passageway to the fighting arena, but he discovered that it seemed to be a lounge after entering. The layout was very simple and crude. There were only wardrobes and benches. The passageway to the fighting arena was further inside.
There was already a person in the lounge right now. He wore combat shorts, and his upper body was bare. He didn't wear shoes, and a towel was draped over his head. His face was drooping. It seemed that he was conserving his energy.
He should be the next competitor to take the stage. He didn't have a coach or a friend by his side. He was all by himself. His entire body was cold and gloomy. He actually didn't react at all to Crag Burst, the big guy who had suddenly barged in.
Crag Burst was a bit stupefied. Then he discovered that the room was actually very noisy. There was a display screen in the lounge as well, but it was a bit smaller than the one outside. The sound from the display screen was quite loud. It made people wonder what use this lounge could serve.
The display screen just so happened to jump to a new scene at this time.
"Look, Jack!"
Luo Nan reminded Crag Burst to pay attention. The two's minds shook, but they soon discovered that this was just a video clip.
Jack was wearing a referee uniform at the time. He wore a bow tie. His body was ramrod straight, and he had a sense of propriety. Aside from the unsightly scars on his face, he looked more like a noble steward than a referee. It was no wonder that his hosting and refereeing were so popular.
"This match isn't bad."
Crag Burst used a professional gaze to evaluate: "The tall and skinny one. His foundation is very solid. He has a sense of propriety in his attacks. He's a very good control type competitor … … Hold on. There's something wrong with the editing."
The editor had chosen this shot to be the scene of the tall and skinny kid slowing down, dodging, and circling around, which Crag Burst had praised. It was completely different from the intense fighting scene before.
Such camera language should be hinting at something.
Luo Nan discovered that the competitor, who had his head lowered all this time, had raised his head to stare at the display screen. His thin and pale face was revealed beneath the towel. He was unexpectedly calm, and he continued to ignore Crag Burst to the side.
