Ronan had witnessed the entire process of Jack controlling the situation.
It was as if Jack was holding a remote control for "action" and "stop". With just a press, the security system of the entire floor, or even the entire building, froze.
This scene absolutely wasn't the result of Jack's high level of authority in the DeShang Building. This was because the robot didn't have any procedures to test his authority. It directly ceased all activities and didn't have any power to resist.
This made Luo Nan think of Crag Burst's pitiful jeep.
Luo Nan finally broke his silence. He used psychic waves to transmit, "How did you do it?"
"Oh, another exchange?" Jack sneered. "Why are you making a fuss? You can control … Oh, and Darksider life forms. I can control machinery. That's fair. "
Jack didn't refuse to communicate, but he didn't respond directly either.
He didn't mind dealing with Luo Nan a bit more. After all, he couldn't find any traces of the Darksider life form from beginning to end. This caused him to brood over it. He needed time to adjust the relevant parameters of the database and unceasingly revise the range of his detection.
Luo Nan could more or less guess what Jack was doing. After all, many of Jack's detection methods required the use of that electronic eye, so Jack was constantly turning his head.
This was good news. It seemed that Jack was very afraid of the Darksider life form. Perhaps there was still a threat to the current him?
Luo Nan secretly paid attention to this, but right now a large portion of his mind couldn't help drifting in the direction of controlling machinery.
Jack and Yan Yongbo's previous actions reminded him of another similar example.
Gear's underground laboratory.
To put it more bluntly: the external neuron!
Luo Nan could confirm that the thread in Jack's brain was indeed the external neuron. It was also the Dynamo Core that Luo Nan spoke of. It was this product that seemed to surpass the technology of Earth that allowed it to bypass all authority and directly control all information devices, manipulating them at will.
And now, new facts told him that other than the aforementioned functions, this thing was also the key to the Burner and Format of Fire.
Such a strange creation had actually accompanied him for five years, and it was mailed to him by that "coward".
What did that mean? What did that mean?
It was hard for Luo Nan to divert his attention to ponder over this matter during the violent storm of pursuit and escape. Now that he had the slightest bit of time, the relevant thoughts were like heart-devouring bugs, gnawing and grinding in his heart.
External neuron? Dynamo Core? Burners? Gang leader? Yan Yongbo? Quantum Corporation … and that coward!
Luo Nan's mind was practically tied into a dead knot by the sudden clues and bursts of information. If he didn't loosen up a bit, then his soul would suffocate.
Luo Nan suddenly felt very regretful. Perhaps he really should have listened to Jack's two more stories. No matter what, he wanted to know what kind of connection there was between Jack, the mafia leader, and that "coward"!
Right now, Luo Nan had to work hard for this goal. He did his best to maintain a clear line of thought. He used psychic waves to transmit information as slowly as possible to probe Jack's reaction:
"Controlling machines at will? You don't have that ability. Otherwise, you wouldn't be hiding in the Recycle Stratum as a mafia boss. Instead, you'd be running out to do whatever you want. "
Jack laughed hoarsely. "Are you trying to provoke me? Kid, you've already succeeded before, so you don't have to worry about how you die. "
"I admit that you have the ability to kill me. After all, you are already a Burner … What, did I say something wrong?"
Luo Nan saw Jack grin from the corner of his mouth. The sarcasm within was thick.
Jack shrugged his shoulders. "It's nothing. People always have the right to be ignorant. I don't have the obligation to correct them … … Kid, there's no need to probe anymore. Call your pet. I'll give you a more satisfying death."
Luo Nan would be stupid to listen to Jack's words. But Jack's sarcastic smile and tone were quite interesting. It was a kind of aloof superiority. The "people" he spoke of didn't seem to be specifically referring to Luo Nan. Instead, it was an unbridled "map cannon". It was brimming with the flavor of "everyone in the world is drunk, but I am the only sober one".
Luo Nan remembered that a considerable portion of Jack's high-level mental activity originated from the data template of the "nucleus". In a certain sense, Jack was more real than any normal person.
Then where did this sense of superiority come from?
Luo Nan sized up Jack once more. The information he obtained from the mafia members showed that this savage and cruel fellow had become the mafia leader of this region in just a span of two to three years.
He started off as a fighting instructor. He used the bloody 70% Elimination Rule to rapidly become an important figure in the fighting arena. Then he became a referee, a host, a partner, and finally became the chief spokesperson of the fighting arena's mafia power.
His abilities overflowed as a mafia leader, but this didn't mean that he was the same in other areas.
Then … …
"It's the Metal Beetle, right?" Luo Nan suddenly spoke up and went straight to the point.
Jack was a bit startled, then he laughed: "Are you still going to be angry, young man?"
Luo Nan ignored Jack's interference. His thoughts were so certain that everything that happened within Jack's body was exposed to the prying eyes of the Human-Faced Arachnid:
"Yan Yongbo used it to control our jeep and then you came over to deal with it. But you're clearly more interested in the Metal Beetle itself. Oh, the Metal Beetle is too unprofessional. You call it the Dynamo Core? The Deep Sea Type IV Dynamo Core. It's a mystical device that allows ordinary Altered Humans to possess abilities similar to a Burner. "
Jack was silent for a moment. The dark red electronic eyes that had been searching for the Human-Faced Arachnid turned back to stare at the blurry figure of Luo Nan's soul body: "You're trying to display your own intelligence? But we don't recruit new people here … … "
The intensity of the Deep Sea EM Field continued to increase as Jack spoke.
Luo Nan's soul body felt even worse. From Luo Nan's perspective, the most important thing to do right now was to break free from Jack's control as quickly as possible and flee far away.
However, the spiritual light gushing out from his mind interweaved into sections of thought. Under the pressure of the outside world, he pieced them together and advanced layer by layer. He was unwilling to interrupt this process:
"The Dynamo Core is very precious to you, so Yan Yongbo will use it to pay you. But looking at the model number, this should be a product that has already been put into production. At the very least, it's a trial production series of products. The only ones who possess this kind of manufacturing ability and are closely related to the Burner are Quantum Corporation … … and their related powers."
Luo Nan's brain power operated. It had certainly reached the pinnacle of his fifteen years of life. He didn't directly converse with Jack. Instead, he endlessly tossed out a few bait in his words. At the same time, he earnestly observed all of Jack's reactions, using them to revise his own inferences.
"Of course, there's also you. You're an Altered Human, but you don't come from the military. You just happen to be so adaptable to the Burner's abilities. The number of people in this world who can do this can be counted on one hand. So I believe that you also come from Quantum Corporation and that you've always worked for the apex technology company of this Earth … … "
Luo Nan saw Jack's face reveal a mocking smile of superiority just as the psychic wave message was transmitted.
