"Oh my god, he wants people to help him cover up this matter! Hehe, Old Man Secret Deed should be having a headache right now. How can he snatch back the limelight? "
Blood Demon paced back and forth in the room. His speed was uncertain. Perhaps it was just as he thought, "Troubled times, troubled times …. Your Majesty, what do you think?"
"The words of the body follow the heart. Skillful and convenient karma."
"Huh?"
"Gaining equal wisdom in all laws. Being able to observe the actions of all sentient hearts. Knowing the truth of all impurities …."
"Can you speak human words?"
Her Majesty Empress Wu laughed good-naturedly, "You're becoming more and more professional."
"A professional charlatan, huh?"
Blood Demon ridiculed, but from these words, one could tell that he understood Her Majesty Empress Wu's meaning.
What Blood Demon meant was that Luo Nan was no longer like before. He was no longer speaking profound and sophisticated words that normal people would find hard to understand. Instead, he was using skillful and convenient methods to stab at the point the target was most concerned about, the weakness they feared the most.
This matter sounded simple, but it was just as Her Majesty Empress Wu said. To truly realize it required absolute magical power. On this point, Luo Nan pointed directly at life and death. He was skillful in observing people's hearts …. After all, who wasn't afraid of death? But to be able to achieve such an effect, the power he displayed truly exceeded everyone's imagination.
Blood Demon made an assumption. He placed himself on the opposite side of Luo Nan …. He didn't think for too long before he felt like his brain was about to explode.
"Perhaps right now, directly over here …. No, it should be firing nuclear warheads at Ban City. This is the fastest way to resolve this."
Zhang Yingying glared at him when she heard this.
But on the other side, Her Majesty Empress Wu nodded in agreement, "You're insightful. Yingying, make a relevant contingency plan for the next step. Even if you don't need it tonight, you might need it in the future.
"Huh?" Zhang Yingying was startled at first, but she soon grew serious.
Her Majesty Empress Wu put away her scroll and slowly got up.
"Where are you going?"
"What's the point of staying here?"
Her Majesty Empress Wu's gaze swept across the image of the empty scene. Then she left.
"Hey, Your Majesty, hold on. I have something to discuss. I have something to discuss with you."
The Blood Demon Puppet chased after them, but it suddenly turned around and grinned at Meng Chong, who was standing aside quietly. "Hey, when the core is tied up, everybody has to test the periphery in the corners. Are you the core or the periphery? Have you figured it out yet?"
Meng Chong's expression was solemn as he bowed to the Blood Demon to express his gratitude.
Let's not talk about whether or not this analogy was appropriate, but the reminder was very timely. The most important thing was for the relevant parties to promptly discuss their contingency plans and make a response when Luo Nan was stirring up such a storm.
Her Majesty Empress Wu and Blood Demon went out one after the other. Half a minute later, Meng Chong also went out in search of a private place to contact his cult.
Only Zhang Yingying and Bai Xinyan were left in the room. The latter was still hugging Zhang Yingying. Their cheeks were touching each other's shoulders, and it seemed like they were still tipsy.
"Nuclear bomb …" Zhang Yingying frowned. She considered both the contingency plan and the actual possibility and threat.
Bai Xinyan said softly, "The Blood Demon is exaggerating."
"Right, I think so too …"
"In reality, with the hundreds and thousands of weapons in this era, if you really want to get rid of an Extraordinary, there are relatively more economical methods. For example, you can go from destroying a city to destroying a city district. If you put it this way, doesn't it suddenly become easier to accept? "
"Screw you! Even the boss won't be able to protect you if you keep courting death! "
Bai Xinyan laughed softly. Her warm and moist breath sprayed onto Zhang Yingying's neck. "Actually, if we start from this line of thought, the two of the Order of Amaterasu don't really want to turn the experimental fields of Ban City into a sea of fire. However, if it's just abandoning a trade zone far away on Beishan Lake, they can still do it.
"After all, this is the best opportunity in the short term … Of course, they need to have the awareness to pull chestnuts out of the fire for others. I'm curious right now. Do the True Gods and the Pope have the awareness to contribute to the capitalists of the world who tremble with fear?
"Those capitalists don't have the qualifications. But from a different perspective, from a different person, do they have the qualifications?"
Zhang Yingying's body stiffened when she heard Bai Xinyan's words. Then she fiercely jumped up. Luckily, Bai Xinyan dodged in time. Otherwise, she wouldn't have her chin crooked.
"Hey!"
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"That's just a guess, idiot!"
"We have to be on guard even if there's a one in a thousand chance!" Zhang Yingying gave Luo Nan a call, but the call didn't go through. She rushed out of the room in two or three steps. Perhaps she went to look for someone, or perhaps she went to discuss things with Her Majesty Empress Wu.
In the end, Bai Xinyan was the only one left in the room. She sat on the sofa and spread out her arms. She did her best to spread them out and said to herself, "Idiot. This is all metaphysics. If you believe it, it might not happen … If you don't believe it, it might happen. "
Bai Xinyan suddenly laughed in spite of herself. She gasped for a breath of air, stood up shakily, and walked outside.
Right now, the exhibition hall was already in chaos. Something had happened to the truly important figures, and the periphery would inevitably be impacted.
Bai Xinyan wasn't interested in these things. She continued to walk forward, slowly walking out of the exhibition hall. She entered the express passageway and left Area C, heading toward the bow of the ship.
She didn't feel anything in the sealed exhibition hall, but on her way, her line of sight passed through some open areas. She saw the night sky outside, and she discovered that the Jade Light had already sunk into a certain foggy area at some unknown time.
The originally brilliant lights could only be painted with gorgeous patches of color within the fog. She couldn't see the sky. She couldn't see the sea. Not a single figure could be seen on the deck area … … Even if there were people, they would basically be completely submerged within the fog. On the other hand, those who were still lingering on the deck at this time had courage that far exceeded that of ordinary people.
Bai Xinyan's feet didn't hesitate at all. She stepped onto the fog-filled open-air area. She arrived at the pool deck. It was the place where Luo Nan and the other Extraordinaries chatted and conversed in the afternoon. Luo Nan was still in the middle of the pool, debugging that ox-demon. But right now, there wasn't a single person in sight.
Was she not here? Zhang Yingying didn't come either?
Bai Xinyan shook her head. It didn't matter. It was just a guess. Mistakes were inevitable. She didn't have a clear goal in coming here. It was just that her value on the cruise ship was close to zero at this stage, so she came here to find a sense of existence.
Since there was no one here, then … …
A phone call suddenly came in. Bai Xinyan raised her eyebrows when she saw the caller ID. She immediately picked up the call. "Oh my, it's boyfriend Sang. You actually have the time to make a call. Your time management is top-notch. "
"I'm borrowing your place to hide. Mm, I also want to ask you something. How's the progress of your relationship with Boss Luo?" Wang Yu's voice was transmitted over along with the sound of the waves of the ocean.
"Is this something a boyfriend should ask?"
"Ah, I'm really ashamed. Honestly speaking, I'm actually a bit bewildered and excited. But even if I don't ask now, someone will ask in a bit. "
"Huh?"
"Didn't you notice that your mentor is also on the one-way trip to the plateau?"
"Mm, it looks like he trusts you."
"He's complaining and angry. His brain is a bit fried. Otherwise, he wouldn't waste so much effort to compete with others in terms of authority and forcefully call me. Of course, he'll be begging you later. I can help you transfer the call. You're welcome. "
"Hey … … What a mess."
Bai Xinyan stuck her fingers into her phone screen. She stayed in the dense mist for a few minutes, her hair getting wet. She was just about to tidy up her hair when the gaudy and irritating functions of modern communications came into play.
Wang Yu established a three-way communication channel and then exited the group chat. This way, Bai Xinyan didn't even have the chance to refuse. She called her mentor.
"Blanche, I need your help."
The senior expert, Dr. Clay's tone was still relatively calm. He called Bai Xinyan by her nickname, as if it was a daily call. He didn't seem like Wang Yu's brain was fried.
But the reception of the communicator was too good. It was to the extent that the weeping and cursing of the surrounding people could be faintly heard.
Bai Xinyan also spoke in a normal tone of greeting. "Teacher, your luck today isn't good."
"It's not completely bad. At least there's still signal in the No Man's Land. But this bit of luck ends here. "
"I feel that Luo Nan just vented his anger. There won't be any more … …"
"Thank you for your consolation. I also have this kind of hope, but the problem we're facing right now is more direct. "
Dr. Clay said something to someone. It seemed that he was avoiding the chaotic flow of people. He subconsciously sighed. "The saltwater lake area we're in is the endpoint of many inland rivers. It's also an important water source for the surrounding wild animals and Mutants. It's also a place to forage for trace elements. This is a good place to study ecology, but it's absolutely not suitable for a large group of people to stay. I can already see a carnivorous bird circling in the air. Its mutant characteristics are very clear. Look at its sharp beak. It's absolutely not a scavenger … …"
Dr. Clay spoke faster and faster. He could no longer conceal his nervousness.
"There are nearly a hundred and fifty people here. There aren't more than twenty armed personnel. All of them carry light weapons. There are also very few ability users. It will be a disaster if we enter the hunting circle of the Mutants."
"The rescue team should have already gone over." Bai Xinyan knew that this wasn't enough to make people feel at ease. She spoke a sentence that couldn't be avoided. "How can I help you … … But I need to say something first. Luo Nan probably won't care about the matters over there. Even if he does, I don't have much weight on his side."
"I just need a suggestion, Blanche." Dr. Clay didn't mind Bai Xinyan's evasive words. "Frankly speaking, my mind is in a mess right now. The only suggestion I can give myself is to immediately undergo a Mutant transformation upon returning … … But right now, all of this is meaningless, right?"
"I understand what you're saying."
Bai Xinyan maintained basic respect for this instructor and collaborator. She muttered to herself for a few seconds before responding, "First of all, I feel that under the protection of twenty well-trained professional security personnel, your chances of survival should be quite high as long as your organizational strength can keep up. It shouldn't be a problem for the vast majority of people to hold out until the rescue team arrives."
"I don't reject probability, but the problem is that I don't see the corresponding degree of organization. Most people are scared to death. Their thoughts and physical strength aren't in a normal state. I suspect that traveling through space and time will cause unknown damage to the bodies and minds of ordinary people. "
"... I understand." Bai Xinyan laughed silently. "If you're really worried about some accident or uncontrollable situation happening, and you're willing to take a gamble, why not follow someone closely? Is Mrs. Kawahara Machiko of the Toyama Auction House there?"
"Kawahara? She's there! She's there! She's actually there! "
Dr. Clay spent two seconds to confirm. The reason why Machiko Kawahara was able to find the target so quickly within the chaotic crowd of over a hundred people was because Machiko Kawahara was far too conspicuous.
She stood at the outermost edge of the crowd, all alone. It was as if she had been isolated by everyone. It was as if she had cut herself off from the group. The lake water lapped against the shore, already submerging her feet and calves. Her stockings were also splashed with specks of mud. She felt as if she was stuck in the silt of the riverside, unable to extricate herself.
"Follow her closely?" Dr. Clay was a bit hesitant.
From a professional perspective, Machiko Kawahara's position was simply the worst and most dangerous area in the surrounding area.
She was far away from the crowd, and she was exposed to the shallow regions of the lake. She was exposed to the threat of predators and even Mutants that could appear at any time. If something happened, she would be the most likely target to be sacrificed.
"I don't know what you've seen, Teacher. And I'll say this in advance. I'm not basing my judgment on your environment. I'm basing my judgment on Mr. Luo Nan's usual way of doing things. I believe this is the most important reason why you need me to give you a suggestion. "
Dr. Clay took a deep breath. "Yes. That's right."
Bai Xinyan continued to speak. "My judgment is that although Mr. Luo Nan is a simple-minded person in many matters and doesn't understand human emotions, he is essentially someone who is extremely meticulous in his emotions. He is a person who is very considerate of others. Of course, the vast majority of people don't have this qualification. You guys aren't one of them.
"But there is a special case. He treats those who work as tools for him with preferential treatment. I feel that Ms. Machiko Kawahara can be classified as such. Of course, this is just my judgment and conjecture. Believing it might not happen …. "
"If you don't believe him, it might happen." Dr. Clay took the initiative to complete his sentence. He thought even more. "We don't know the range of that person's divine blessing. If it's a single-target blessing, then I'll be in great danger."
"Maybe …."
Before Bai Xinyan could finish speaking, she heard Dr. Clay yell loudly, "Ms. Kawahara, it's very dangerous over there. Retreat!"
Sure enough, the top researchers were all doers.
Two or three seconds after Dr. Clay's yell, a cacophony of screams and sporadic gunshots rang out.
Bai Xinyan laughed. She didn't hesitate and hung up the phone.
Dr. Clay didn't need any other suggestions at this time. Whether or not he could return to Luoyang City's laboratory alive depended on his luck.
Bai Xinyan wanted to leave, but she was startled the moment she turned around. Applause rang out. A fat figure with a bulging belly came out from the exit she had just passed through.
"The analysis just now was very brilliant. Miss Bai, aren't you interested in verifying it?"
"Mr. Black Lion?" Bai Xinyan was a bit surprised to see the newcomer, but she quickly came to her senses. "You're also looking for someone?" “
Black Lion grinned, revealing a mouthful of golden teeth. "No, I'm here to dispel doubts."
