Reality did not give him a clear answer.
Since there was no platform on the luxurious cruise ship that could take off and land an interstellar transport ship, the assault team leader had to exit the cabin and use the short-range flight function of the exoskeleton armor to land directly on the cruise ship, cross the last kilometer, and deliver the goods to his doorstep.
Without a doubt, someone who could use military resources like this and use such resources had to be someone with great power.
If it was just to satisfy some people's curiosity, it would be fine, and it could even be called fooling around. But when it came to the mastermind behind this matter, or even to destroy physical evidence … it should not be.
As a qualified professional soldier, the assault team leader should not be so crazy in his mind, but in the current situation, he could not help but think too much. When he opened the hatch, he subconsciously checked the black box inside the armor. Only then did he jump and use the short-range jet engine on the exoskeleton armor to pierce through the layers of clouds and quickly approach the luxurious yacht.
Almost the moment he exited the cabin and flew down, the high-precision radar had already reported many reaction signals that could pose a threat to him. The assault team leader almost crashed back into the transport ship. It was also at this time that his superior gave him a timely comfort and warning.
"You don't have to worry about anything. Deliver the goods safely to the designated person, and you will be given credit."
This is more like an illegal operation …
The assault team leader cursed in his heart, but he still braced himself and moved toward the luxurious yacht under the blinking warning lights.
When he was only about 200 meters away from the yacht, a voice finally sounded from the previously designated temporary communication channel.
"Please come to this position."
The assault team leader pursed his lips and swore to be a mute tool. He listened to the arrangements on the other side, drew a small arc around the hull, and arrived above the precise coordinates given by the other party.
His vision passed through the thick fog. He felt that this should be a pool deck, a place where the rich played and indulged themselves. However, the visibility here was terrible. It was as if the pool that originally stored water had become a place where clouds and fog had accumulated. Since it was already night time, ordinary people could really get lost here.
Through the multi-dimensional imaging equipment, he could confirm that there were four people on the deck, two men and two women. This number made him feel a little more at ease. The suspicion of a private transaction was lessened a little.
Temporarily dispelling the distracting thoughts in his mind, the assault captain adjusted the exoskeleton armor to hover mode and descended. Even so, the tail flames still inevitably scorched a part of the wooden deck.
Of course, there was no one here to stop him and ask for compensation. There was only a thin and capable man who directly walked forward without the slightest fear of the three meter tall steel war equipment, indicating that the handover was complete.
The multi-dimensional imaging showed that the other three people were still in their original positions, hidden in the thick clouds. If that was all there was to it, there was indeed a strong sense of mystery … But a woman's lively voice suddenly shattered the atmosphere.
"That's it? No wonder you're Secretary He. What a great honor! "
"Ah ha, Little Zhang, you are making things too complicated." "This has nothing to do with face. If you're hit in the head by a nuclear bomb from the military and you're not hurt at all, all you have to do is make a phone call and say, 'Do me a favor and we'll call it even …' Do you believe that the people in the military will immediately clean themselves up and let you do whatever you want to them?"
"Disgusting!"
Amidst the confusing and informative conversation, the assault captain handed over the sealed metal box.
The thin man in charge of receiving it nodded at him. "You can go now."
With that, he turned around but did not face anyone on the deck. Instead, he walked quickly to where the swimming pool was.
The assault captain had a stomach full of questions, but at this moment, his superior kept urging him.
"Hurry up and go. Don't delay."
He had no choice but to obey. He adjusted the hover mode and increased the power of the jet engine, causing the charred part of the deck below to really burn.
Because of the high heat that was emitted, a part of the clouds was blown away, causing the thick fog above the swimming pool to disperse a little, revealing a vague figure above. It was not one of the four people that had been detected earlier.
That person was also hovering in the air, at the same height as him. However, he was not wrapped in the exoskeleton armor, nor did he have any engine to support him. He just quietly hovered like a cold ghost.
The assault captain shuddered. When he wanted to take a closer look, the exoskeleton armor had already sped up, and soon, he was more than a hundred meters in the air. When he looked down again, the fog had covered the deck again, and he could not see anything. As for multi-dimensional imaging, enhanced scanning, and so on … Please, he was not an idiot!
The assault captain was not stupid. He strictly followed the instructions and directly deleted the temporary channel, putting an end to this matter.
However, it was difficult to control a person's heart. He could not hide his curiosity, and while the distance between them increased, he subconsciously lowered his head to take another look. Speaking of which, it was strange. He was already hundreds of meters in the air, but the farther he got, the clearer the deck became.
He could vaguely see the four, no, five figures, especially the one floating above the swimming pool. It was that person. He seemed to have already obtained the metal box with the strange crystal ball and rotten meat sealed inside. Then … he raised his head and looked over.
Looked over?
The assault captain's heart skipped a beat. It was also at this moment that a powerful binding force suddenly acted on his body. The pressure on his body and the sharp alarm in the cabin formed a chemical reaction, stimulating the secretion of a large amount of adrenaline, and his entire body suddenly tensed up.
Silencing the witness!
He cried out in his mind. He practically increased the output power of the engine by instinct, but the power also rose along with it. It was to the extent that the value on the altimeter didn't increase. Instead, it flew down.
As for the assault captain, he felt as if he had gone from a gravity-free environment to ten Gs in an instant. It was to the extent that his vision went black, and his consciousness went blank for a second or two, maybe even longer …
"Bang!"
By the time he came back to his senses, the exoskeleton armor had already returned to the deck. Its landing posture was actually quite appropriate … … Aside from the empty deck, there was also the pilot, who was spinning around.
At this time, another message came from his superior: "Danilo, there's been a change of orders. You stay there and assist in completing the new mission. You also need to eliminate the possible infection. I wish you good luck … …"
"What?"
"What the hell are you doing?" Zhang Yingying shouted towards the sky above the swimming pool. She had heard the news of the nuclear bomb descending on Osaka City. She was unable to contact the real person, so she ran over to look for her avatar. She never expected to see such a scene. She was the one with the least amount of information in this group. She was more and more unable to understand what was going on.
"Get back the evidence." Luo Nan said some nonsense.
"Isn't that place closer to Osaka City?"
"The conditions here are better. It's more suitable for collecting and organizing materials."
As Luo Nan spoke, the more agile control lines of the magnetite mica had already pierced through the twisted crystal ball and rotten flesh countless times. It used its unique perspective to observe.
Zhang Yingying was completely unaware of this. She just asked, "What the hell is this? A mutant? "
"It should be, and it's highly contagious. At the very least, the one who sent it over has already been infected." Luo Nan's hands were filled with dense water vapor. He had already created layers of isolation. "So stay away … …"
"Hey, what about Meng Chong?"
"There's no problem at the moment. The possibility of ability users suffering from mutant infection has always been very small. However, the space-based platform needs to be screened … … I just talked to Sister Yueyin."
While speaking, Luo Nan simply sent the source of infection into the spatial fault to eliminate hidden dangers.
At this time, Black Lion, who had been drooling to join in on the fun, called out from the side of the swimming pool, "Brother Luo Nan, that meeting has started … …"
They were indeed late due to this incident in the middle of the meeting. Perhaps they had already missed one or two items on the agenda.
"Since we're late, it doesn't matter if we delay a bit longer. There's nothing interesting ahead anyway." Luo Nan had a completely indifferent attitude. He waited for Meng Chong to bring the highly suspected infected courier out of the cabin. Meng Chong began to explain and settle them down, and then Luo Nan's figure disappeared into the mist once more.
Well, this guy really wasn't willing to cooperate.
That's right. Anyone who just had a nuclear warhead smashed into their head, whether it exploded or not, would not let a formalistic meeting take up their time.
Black Lion shrugged. He didn't care. The reason why he spoke was because he was entrusted by someone to pass the message. But what could he do if Luo Nan didn't cooperate … … Luo Nan had the qualifications to be willful!
Frankly speaking, Black Lion still hadn't completely digested the events that happened over at Ban City. He didn't have the mood to participate in the meeting and watch Abner play all kinds of political maneuvers.
Even if the meeting was held for ten days and ten nights, could he analyze how Luo Nan did it? Could he finally figure out how this underage child grasped the secrets of inconceivable power in such a short amount of time? He couldn't? If he couldn't, then what the hell was he doing!?
The human heart always had its ups and downs. For a time, Black Lion's interest was dull. He waved goodbye to Luo Nan and prepared to find a secluded place to sort out his thoughts and emotions.
He didn't walk far before someone called him again. Black Lion looked at the contact and his lips curled.
It was Old Ells' call.
This old thing, who had been eliminated in a dishonorable manner, took the initiative to get involved again after a few hours of psychological and physiological adjustment.
Black Lion didn't know if this old thing had a deeper plan or if he was simply intrigued by the major incident that nearly became the headline news of the entire 90's.
Perhaps it was the latter?
Black Lion could easily tell that Old Ells was actually using a simulated human voice. Clearly, he had yet to completely recover from the 'important property loss' of a few hours ago. Perhaps he was lying in the health pod right now, consuming some of the extremely limited energy in that old and broken body.
"You're next to that kid?"
"I just left."
"Have you figured out the twists and turns?"
"Heh, are you teaching me how to do things?"
"It's just a conventional prejudgment. If you didn't do it, then it probably proves that the kid has caused an extremely direct impact on you, to the point where your curiosity to get to the bottom of things has been suppressed …. "
"Congratulations on still having the strength to say such a long sentence. Sure enough, once you've been eliminated, all sorts of calmness and reason will return. From this point of view, perhaps that luxurious health pod is the best place for you to return to. "
The Black Lion sent a warning and a curse before ending the communication.
This wasn't considered an act of anger because he really didn't have anything to say or communicate with.
He had been by Luo Nan's side when the incident occurred, or at least he had been by one of Luo Nan's sides. He had high-level privileges as an Extraordinary, helping him understand the general outline of the entire incident as well as some key links. However, the truly crucial point was still like the thick clouds and mist surrounding the Jade Light Ship. The phenomenon was there, but its roots were unfathomable.
Why?
Why was Luo Nan able to predict the future?
Why was he able to quickly lock onto the mastermind behind the scenes?
What was the reasoning behind Luo Nan's ability to tear through the void?
What was the origin of such a handy ability?
Actually, there was a barely acceptable answer to every question.
Luo Nan was able to survey the entire world and expose a group of people harboring evil intentions in real time. Why was he unable to discover the plot in near-earth orbit that was only 400 kilometers away?
Luo Nan was able to send a group of billionaires and experts in the field of distortion research to the roof of the world. What was the big deal with dealing with a falling nuclear warhead with such a method of warping space and time?
As for the origin of the ability and method, everything would be fine if he pushed it to the new plane!
However, the crux of the problem was never whether or not a reason could be found. Instead, it was the reason, the ability, and where the true boundaries of it were!
Was this a momentary stroke of luck, or was it an inevitable outcome?
Would this always be the result when they faced similar incidents in the future?
This was a very serious judgment question. It determined whether they were facing a person with powerful abilities or an omniscient and omnipotent god!
Of course, the possibility of the latter was far, far too low.
But looking at it from a realistic point of view, it would be safer to take the attitude one would have when facing a god before the boundaries were explored.
Black Lion's mind stirred slightly at this time. He suddenly understood a bit. The mastermind behind the scenes who created such a major incident might have some intentions.
Where in the world were the boundaries of Luo Nan's ability?
It wasn't just the mastermind behind the scenes. Perhaps all the Magistrates of the world, and even all the curious people, would do everything in their power to probe.
Old Ells would go all out to 'communicate' with Luo Nan. Frankly speaking, he had the same thoughts.
As for Luo Nan, what would he do?
Black Lion tried to put himself in Luo Nan's shoes, but he was unable to do so in the end.
This had nothing to do with Luo Nan's personality. Instead, when Black Lion did some deep thinking, he discovered that he was already unable to imagine a fellow like Luo Nan. What he saw and felt, and what sort of thinking was formed on the basis of these feelings and experiences.
Perhaps he wasn't a god, but he certainly wasn't a human.
This was probably the case.
