Seeing Jack's expression, Luo Nan seemed to be able to hear his main body's heart skip a beat.
He had deliberately added the modifier phrase "Earth's top technology company" in order to probe into Jack's relationship with Quantum Corporation. He had thought of many reactions beforehand, but he never imagined that Jack would bring this smile over. Even the curve of Jack's mouth was exactly the same.
Luo Nan admitted that he had to reconsider Jack's relationship with Quantum Corporation. But before that, there was one thing he needed to make clear:
Why?
Why would a gang leader holed up in the recycling stratum use this sort of attitude to point at a power that was ranked in the top three in terms of market value in the world?
Using the simplest of straight-line logic to consider things, wouldn't that mean that behind Jack's back, at least in his consciousness, there was a colossus that could look down upon Quantum Corporation, the "Earth's Apex Tech Company", with eyes of contempt?
Luo Nan once again thought of the "hooks" buried within Jack's words. Soul configurations, Deep Blue World … … These were terms he had never heard of before. Now that he thought about it, it was extremely likely that they hid a world-shocking secret.
Is that "coward" related to these things? How deep was the connection?
Thoughts spun in his mind, but time didn't allow Luo Nan to think too much. He could only continue his previous train of thought and make some slight adjustments to probe Jack's background:
"You're both employees of Quantum Corporation, but Yan Yongbo can control the Rainbow Fund. You can only hang around in a gang. He can casually toss out a Dynamo Core and you'll fight to the death for it. From what I know, Yan Yongbo hasn't been a part of Quantum Corporation for long. Is it because of his strength that he was able to quickly climb to a high position? Or is it because of his father?
"Or perhaps, as an Altered Human, an Altered Human who needs the help of a Dynamo Core to possess the abilities of a Burner is destined to be a defective product from the production line … …"
"You're too damn smart!"
Another humming sound rang out from within the low and hoarse roar. The pressure and heat of the Deep Sea EM Field rapidly rose. Under the sudden increase in pressure, Luo Nan's soul body was forcibly compressed.
Clearly, Luo Nan's words had stabbed Jack's sore spot.
The smile on Jack's face completely disappeared. He reached out with his hand and pressed it against his forehead. It was as if he was concealing his momentary loss of self-control. But the electronic eye that was already on the verge of burning exposed his current mood.
Fury Template — — Highest Level!
Right now, Luo Nan was already straining to even transmit psychic waves. However, he was even more clear that if he were to really give up like this, Jack would very likely immediately make a move to finish him off.
Time, he needed a little more time …
"Did I misspeak? I'm really sorry. I'm just saying my guesses. Some of them might sound stupid, but I think our current situation is even more stupid. "
"That's right. The speaker is stupid, and the listener isn't smart either." Jack panted heavily. The last time he reacted like this was when the power went out. But this was really effective. His emotions began to recover, and he was even mocking himself.
This level of control seemed to be something only a modified person who could switch their "template" at any time could achieve.
Ronan noticed Jack's restraint. It was reasonable to say that this callous Altered Human had many opportunities. He could erupt with a powerful Format of Fire and turn Luo Nan's soul body into ashes. But he never truly made a move other than that first strike.
Compared to the ruthlessness and decisiveness he displayed before, the current Jack was a little too hesitant.
This had nothing to do with "intelligence" or "stupidity". It could only be considered from a more realistic level: Was it fear of the Darksider lifeforms? Or was it because of a more direct, more fatal reason?
Jack clearly wouldn't reveal the answer, and he also made substantial movements. He began to walk forward, closing the distance between him and Luo Nan's soul body. As the distance shrunk, the pressure of the magnetic field increased exponentially.
Luo Nan tried to retreat, but the results were minimal.
Jack revealed a smile once more: "I've heard back in the Deep Blue World that it's possible to use the powerful magnetic field of the Dynamo Core to confine and capture souls, and even Darksider lifeforms. Right now, I can give it a try. "
The Deep Blue World? Luo Nan's first thought was actually the information that came from far beyond the heavens.
He only truly reacted in the next moment. Jack actually wanted to capture him alive?
Yes, looking at the increasing pressure of the magnetic field, Jack really did have this kind of plan. Compared to the beginning, Luo Nan's soul body had already shrunk by more than two times. If this continued, he would probably become the legendary "One Inch Mage", someone who could be kneaded by anyone.
Luo Nan was already unable to think of anything else. He concentrated all of his energy, wanting to make his soul body move once more. But at this time, the only thing that could move his entire body was the heavily chained crow, which had been circulating without end from beginning to end ….
Chains?
Luo Nan's thoughts were still unclear when the vibrating amplitude of the heavily chained crow suddenly increased. But this wasn't an internal force; it was an external impact!
A sharp hissing sound rang out. A phantom pounced out from the floor below, forcibly colliding into the Deep Sea EM Field. The impact force on the mental plane actually caused the magnetic field's operation to suddenly stagnate.
Luo Nan's soul body was struck by this phantom in the next moment. The phantom tightened and then loosened. Then Luo Nan flew backwards like he was riding on a cloud, escaping from the range of the Deep Sea EM Field's control.
The Human-Faced Arachnid!
This malevolent monster had killed its way out when it was needed the most. Its body still carried the vapors of turbid currents of emotions. The heavy injuries from the Format of Fire could no longer be seen, at least on the surface.
Success!
Luo Nan's mind relaxed. He flipped over and stood on the back of the Human-Faced Arachnid. He urged this monster, which had just drunk a blood potion, to fly towards the nearest outer wall of the building without turning his head.
Jack's heavy and swift footsteps rang out behind him. He was still in pursuit, his speed rapidly increasing. And the large cubicle layout of this floor's office gave him ample space to accelerate.
The Deep Sea EM Field followed Jack's pursuit, moving like a shadow behind Luo Nan and the Human-Faced Arachnid. It was like a silent evil beast, staring fixedly at its prey, wanting to devour it as soon as possible.
But in the end, it was useless!
A distance of several dozen meters was far too short for a soul body. Luo Nan and the Human-Faced Arachnid directly smashed through the outer wall of the building in the time of a single breath. They flashed again in the interweaving neon lights of the night sky, flying a thousand meters into the air.
Jack charged to the end of the building. His momentum hadn't dissipated yet, so he heavily smashed into the French window. The tempered glass, which was of considerable strength and toughness, exploded with spiderweb cracks in an instant. Unexpectedly, it didn't shatter.
But the lightweight alloy that held the four sides in place was unable to withstand the impact. The entire French window was peeled off from the wall by Jack, falling rapidly to the ground.
Jack used the momentum to dissipate his momentum. He stood at the edge of the empty building and pulled out a thick-barreled handgun. It should be the one that had shot out the military's special ammunition.
The muzzle of the gun was aimed at the night sky. But in the end, Jack didn't fire in vain. He just stared coldly at the empty shadow in the night sky. Only after a long while did he turn around and leave.
