In the darkness, Luo Yuan's voice was like the tip of a blade rubbing against the moss of the ruins. "These marks were smeared with blood when her remains were discovered."
"The bandits who broke in used a high-power electromagnetic bomb to cut off all communication between the inside and the outside. Aside from the self-operating life maintenance devices like the health pod, all the surrounding electronic devices were destroyed... She could only leave a message through this method."
"But not long after, the bloodstains dried and blurred. Luo Zhongheng used a knife to carve the original marks as a memento. So, this isn't first-hand information. "
Luo Nan took a deep breath. "What's the meaning of this?"
"How would I know?"
Luo Yuan's tone didn't sound like he was rejecting Luo Nan. Instead, it sounded like he was depressed and jealous.
Luo Nan understood. "Was it left for my dad?"
"......"
Luo Nan subconsciously curled his lips. Only then did he feel his facial muscles turn numb. It was hard to pull even the tiniest of movements. At the same time, his mind also turned numb. It was to the extent that even the most basic of imagination abilities were frozen … … He wanted to replay the scene back then, but his mind was empty.
In the end, Luo Nan just put down his other knee. He silently knelt before the remains of the health pod. He gazed deeply, making sure to brand these scratches into the depths of his memory.
Gradually, his gaze became a bit empty. It passed through the scratches and the body of the pod to cast into an even deeper place.
Luo Yuan saw that Luo Nan didn't move for a long time. He had no intention of respecting Luo Nan's feelings. He brought up an old topic and sneered. "Are you really going to cry? Do you want me to step back so you can brew your emotions? "
Luo Nan didn't pay attention to him. He was like an inanimate sculpture.
It would be perfect if he really was' dead '.
Luo Yuan's thoughts spun in his mind.
He didn't go so far as to forcefully pull Luo Nan up. He just stared at the back of the young man's head. He pondered the possibility of using the Planar Crossbow to completely destroy the young man's body and soul.
He had to admit that he was the same as the vast majority of people in the world. He was finding it harder and harder to see through Luo Nan.
Actually, he didn't see through Luo Nan clearly last year near the city square of Xia City. Otherwise, Luo Nan wouldn't have been able to escape alive... Even if it was a diversion scheme, it was the same.
This was even more true now.
At that time, he was still able to touch upon the exceptionally fragile boundary between Luo Nan's material and mental state. He could have attempted to obliterate Luo Nan's fleshly body and put an end to all troubles. So today, that "border" had almost disappeared.
Even if he used his unique Polar Domain perspective to observe, all he could see was the intertwining and disorderly trajectories of the power, as well as the energy clouds that stimulated each other.
The muscles on Luo Yuan's cheeks twitched slightly. This time, he was grinding his teeth unconsciously.
The more he used clairvoyance, the more he was able to confirm that this kid Luo Nan was mixed and blended together with the material world, the polar domain of the abyss, and the ever-changing sea of consciousness.
Even if this fusion wasn't complete, even the word "fusion" wasn't accurate enough.
The so-called 'fusion' could only prove that Luo Nan possessed an extremely powerful interference force towards the domains mentioned above. Even though he wasn't doing anything right now, his very existence had set off undulating waves in many domains. His true existence was hidden beneath these waves that interweaved and influenced each other. No matter what angle one looked at it from, all one could see was an incomplete silhouette.
Only by synthesizing different observation angles and refining them could one capture Luo Nan's tracks. But this wasn't an exact answer.
For example, even if this youth's body was clearly and plainly placed before one's eyes, one could reach out and touch it. But if one wanted to deal a fatal blow to Luo Nan, one would not just need to pierce through the polluted air of the laboratory ruins. One would need to do so on every plane that Luo Nan could instantly interfere with.
Even if the offensive power of the Planar Crossbow was unparalleled under the heavens, with Luo Nan's current wide-area interference ability, would Luo Nan still be standing there when the Planar Crossbow pierced through the multifaceted interference waves of the polar domain of the abyss, the mental plane, and the material plane?
It must be known that Luo Nan was a bastard proficient in teleportation!
The sound of Luo Yuan grinding his teeth was a bit too clear in the extremely quiet environment. Luo Nan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly opened his mouth.
"If you want to target me, design an assassination plan or something. Just do some thought experiments. It's best if you don't blindly use the real thing …."
The real thing that Luo Nan spoke of was obviously the massive space-time fragment that the Planar Crossbow was entrusted to.
Actually, Luo Nan's words could be interpreted the other way around. He hoped that Luo Yuan would be provoked and make a few more useless attempts. In this way, perhaps it wouldn't be long before Luo Nan could lock onto the location of the fragment and eliminate this hidden danger.
Luo Yuan's eyes narrowed, but he didn't oppose Luo Nan with equal harshness. Instead, he maintained his silence.
He noticed that the wide-area, multi-layered chaotic interference effect clearly retracted as Luo Nan opened his mouth. It seemed that Luo Nan was exerting his strength before, but now it had returned to normal.
It lost a portion of its tension, but it became a bit more gloomy.
This undulation caused the surrounding space to slightly fluctuate.
What was Luo Nan doing?
Luo Yuan was silent in thought, but Luo Nan didn't let him go.
After breaking the silence, Luo Nan no longer seemed to be immersed in the confusion of family and the past. He stood up, not caring that his clothes were already soaked in dirty water. He turned his head to look at Luo Yuan. Light gathered in his pupils amidst the darkness, and they flickered coldly.
"I've suddenly discovered that you always like to do unnecessary things. Is this the aftereffect of being accustomed to being driven by delusions and emotions?"
Luo Yuan laughed hoarsely. "This is the tone of someone who has been sick for a long time."
"No, I'm interrogating you."
Luo Nan stepped on the dirty water under his feet and took two steps toward the health pod. His knees already touched the body of the pod. He leaned forward and reached out with his hand to touch the ruins of the wall that the tilted health pod was leaning against.
A few raps rang out in the darkness. They were deep but not empty. They were solid. But Luo Nan was even more certain. "When you were blindly gesticulating just now, didn't you notice that the structure here is more 'brittle'?"
"This is a collapsed area."
"You know that's not what I'm talking about. I'm saying that this place should be more 'brittle', especially behind the health pod. There's clearly a point of contact, but you've isolated it. You should understand what I mean …. "
"It's not a good habit to play riddles like an adult."
"Ah, I'm really sorry."
Luo Nan's apology was directed at Professor Wu, who was outside. In the next second, Luo Nan turned off the shared view function.
Then he took out a more straightforward expression. "What I mean is that there's a point leading to the misty labyrinth nearby. At the very least, there used to be one."
"You also call it a labyrinth? You really are of the same lineage. Your naming standards are equally terrible. " Luo Yuan answered casually. In the end, he leaned more towards the core. "However, the entire project's official name is' Cloak '. Your grandfather has always insisted on it."
"...... Well, it sounds a bit better."
There was a deeper meaning to it.
But Luo Nan didn't want to be distracted by the name. He just said, "If it were to develop naturally, the health pod would have long been swept into the 'Cloak' and taken away!"
Luo Yuan sneered as before. "How can it be 'natural'? It's completely a man-made design. "
"It's my father?"
"Yes, it's him. I only discovered later that he didn't have the ability to open up the passageway leading to the labyrinth. So I imitated Qing Wen's design and set up an ambush in the surroundings. I hoped that the power of time would continue to drive the labyrinth and eventually corrode an opening, sending this thing inside. "
Luo Yuan was calm and unperturbed. "Maybe this is an experiment. Maybe it's just a simple ritual. But …. Such an ominous thing obviously needs to scram as far away as possible!"
He raised his voice and heavily kicked out. The kick was still far from the health pod, but it splashed up a sky full of muddy water. It struck Luo Nan, but it was completely blocked by a barrier of nothingness.
Luo Nan grew calmer and calmer. "So, you imitated my mother's design and created interference? Combined with Dr. Wang's description, my mother's ashes really were sprinkled into the 70-format laboratory …. In the 'Cloak' across from us? "
Of course, it was also possible that it was in the cloud world.
Dr. Wang didn't have much understanding of the frontier laboratory on the plateau, but Luo Nan, who had already occupied that place, obviously understood what the most meaningful place was.
Luo Yuan didn't speak.
Luo Nan laughed. This actually wasn't some delightful information, but it was able to give a bit of symbolic comfort in the subtle subtleties of the human heart.
After dispelling the misunderstanding, Luo Nan felt that Mr. Luo Zhongheng's work was quite good. Everything was able to be stopped at a point that Luo Nan could accept.
In any case, it seemed that the daily connection between him and his mother had become even closer.
Luo Yuan must have noticed the minute change in expression on Luo Nan's face. He hissed, "Sure enough, you're the same as Luo Zhongheng. You're both seemingly gentle and selfish ghosts …."
"Could it be that the person in front of me isn't a paranoid person who forcefully pulls others into his dreams?"
The direct and childish quarrel didn't continue. Luo Nan felt complex feelings towards this special equipment that had reconstructed the relationship between himself and his mother.
Of course, the most fundamental reason was that Luo Nan and perhaps Luo Yuan didn't want to use Bo Qingwen's emotions as a bargaining chip in their endless struggle.
Luo Nan just declared, "So be it with the health pod. You two's imitations are quite clumsy. You can let Time make the choice in the future. However, you don't need to go to the 70-format laboratory in the future. "
"Is that your private property?" Actually, Luo Yuan might not be able to go right now, but he absolutely wouldn't lose in words. "Against an official member of the laboratory?"
"Once." Luo Nan simply commented.
Luo Yuan's gaze pierced through the darkness. "Are you refusing to negotiate, or are you trying to increase your bargaining chips?"
"Negotiate? Ah, sorry. Your paranoid persona is too successful. I almost believe in your nonsense! So in the future, I need to treat you like a professional gene dealer or a terrorist to be more suitable. Am I right? "
"...... Up to you."
Luo Yuan turned around and left through the dirty water. After a few steps, he suddenly turned his head. "I'm quite curious. Did you rely purely on your talent to get to where you are now? Or did your dead father leave you enough things?
"Or maybe he's giving you some pointers … …"
Luo Nan raised his eyes and looked at Luo Yuan.
A moment later, he shrugged. "I roughly understand what's going on with you. People like you don't know how to live if they can't find their enemies. But what if they don't have any enemies? You can add drama to yourself, to others, or simply draw a target to torment. From beginning to end, from beginning to end … …
"The problem is, this world isn't what you think it is. What do you do?"
Luo Yuan laughed softly. "You think you've seen through everything. You're quite similar to your grandfather right now. He used to be a lot more stylish."
As he spoke, he took another step and disappeared into the darkness. Not long after, Luo Nan sensed the body and it silently transformed into a paste of flesh and blood.
"Hey, if you do this, I won't be able to explain it to Professor Wu. He might even think that I killed you here."
Naturally, no one responded.
Luo Nan turned around and faced the health pod once more. The smile on his face had already solidified there. It didn't change for a long time.
