Jack, who was wearing a helmet, could be seen as a mighty Deep Blue Walker if it weren't for the many useless components hanging on his body.
However, this Deep Blue Walker's mind was on the verge of collapse.
The suspicious signal gave him an intense uneasiness. It wasn't that easy to dispel.
The installation of the electronic eye was just the beginning.
There were many advanced detection devices within Jack's previous shell. They were all dismantled and integrated into the exoskeleton armor.
Jack constantly turned his head as the installation process progressed. He let the electronic eye guide the detection devices on his entire body, surveying the interior and exterior of the vehicle over and over again.
However, no matter how many times he surveyed, Jack was never able to capture the suspicious signal.
But on the other hand, every reconnaissance and detection couldn't be said to be completely meaningless. It was through this method that a huge amount of data passed through the Tower of Babel. The unique structure of the Tower of Babel realized a highly efficient convergence and combination. Every survey represented a deeper level of understanding of this world for Jack.
This was something Jack had never experienced before.
Luo Nan's evaluation of this was: Jack got on the right track.
Jack's remodeling train of thought had clearly changed after being frightened by Luo Nan. He no longer pursued an immediate increase in combat strength. Instead, he integrated and set up as many detection and scanning devices as possible to guard against that invisible and shadowless threat.
From Luo Nan's perspective, this remodeling model was closer to the essence of configuration than the previous Battle Fortress style of remodeling. Through the enhancement of perception and cognitive ability, the source and level of information were constantly enriched, and the integration of thoughts was strengthened. From the low to the high, from the concrete to the abstract, this grand Tower of Babel climbed to the absolute mental domain.
In the long run, if Jack persisted in this remodeling method, he would certainly have some gains. It would be easier for him to display his strength on the mental plane.
Was Luo Nan helping Jack make a breakthrough? Clearly not.
The reason why Luo Nan was happy with Jack's changes was because Jack himself had a nearly irreparable mistake … … His emotional thought processes were currently without any defenses. It would be very hard to find a suitable carrier for them in a short amount of time.
Whether it was emotions or thoughts, they were both the foundation of the soul.

Jack's soul was completely defenseless. At least in Luo Nan's eyes, it was incomparably weak.
The reason Luo Nan didn't make his move before was because Jack still retained a good habit. He did his best to maintain his consciousness and body at a synchronized tempo. It was like Rui Wen's body and soul fusion. She possessed a powerful defense against attacks on the mental plane.
However, this kind of synchronized rhythm was also very demanding.
Even someone as strong as Rui Wen had to constantly adjust the state of her body and maintain a calm and tranquil state of mind at all times. Only then could she maintain her peak performance in the midst of an intense battle.
Compared to Rui Wen, the current Jack had a large range of mood swings. At the same time, he was incessantly altering his temporary body. His train of thought was different from before and after. Even if he had the Dynamo Core as a mediator, there was still a high probability that he would come apart.
As Jack found the "right direction" and continued to increase his soul power and level, the fort-like modifications that had failed earlier would have a more and more serious impact on the synchronization rhythm.
Perhaps Jack would eventually discover the problem, but Ronan wasn't prepared to give him the chance to solve it.
If the boundary between the material plane and the spiritual plane was seen as a water surface, Jack, the fat fish in the material plane, was constantly emerging from the water surface to breathe fresh air.
Luo Nan was like a patient hunter, waiting for his prey to emerge from the water the most.
He had even prepared a specialized weapon for his prey. The Wraith Sign at the tip of the heavily chained crow emitted a faint light.
The weapon Luo Nan had prepared was obviously the Siege Hammer. The Human-Faced Arachnid's direct participation was unavoidable in order to guarantee its effectiveness. However, there was a bit of change at this time. It was outside of Luo Nan's plans.
The Human-Faced Arachnid, who was in the midst of recuperation, changed its attitude of disdain towards Jack and became a bit restless. Following the transformation of Jack's life form, the Darksider life form's view of Jack's nature changed from "completely unpalatable" to "perhaps it can be tasted".
The most important thing was that a spiritual seed was being nurtured in the depths of Jack's soul. Admittedly, it was far inferior to Rui Wen's untainted by a speck of dust. It was pure and translucent in degree. But even if it was meat that had gone bad, it could still be eaten with a sprinkle of chili powder.
The Human-Faced Arachnid disregarded its current weak state and struggled once more. It transformed into a somewhat illusory form.
(Please turn the page if this chapter doesn't end.)
Its master expressed a strong desire to eat.
Luo Nan was a bit hesitant.
While Luo Nan was pondering, the HexaEar transmitted information to the mental plane through the Psychic Wave Network. It was received by Luo Nan's soul body.
It was the same format of energy and information. It was the same format of shuttling between the material plane and the mental plane. What the HexaEar did far exceeded Jack's current level. It could be confirmed that the energy and information were encoded. At the very least, ordinary eavesdropping wouldn't affect it.
However, although the transmission of psychic waves was secretive, it wasn't untraceable. Especially this sort of special waveband that transitioned from the material plane to the mental plane. It was like a gentle breeze blowing across the surface of a lake. It would more or less leave behind some special ripples on the material plane.
Luo Nan didn't feel this before, but after grasping the knack of soul breathing, he became more and more sensitive to this aspect. He immediately furrowed his brows.
This was because Jack wasn't a normal person.
This bit of weak ripple didn't escape Jack's eyes and ears under the gradually upgraded and pervasive probing. All sorts of probing instruments converged in an instant. All sorts of active probing wavebands practically burned a hole in the void.
But this was useless. Luo Nan's current soul body possessed an absolute advantage on the mental plane. He could explore an even deeper and more subtle level. In comparison, Jack's artificial instruments were far too crude even if they could truly probe the mental plane. Whether it was precision or breadth, they were far from being able to capture Luo Nan.
So Luo Nan could calmly receive the signal and use this sort of method to provoke Jack's sensitive nerves.
He Yueyin transmitted: "Scout. The target has been locked on. Your soul-bonded crow can rest for now. Pay attention to the various sniper positions in the surroundings … … Mr. Bai will contact you in a moment."
Crag Burst's muffled laughter transmitted over. Clearly, he had seen through He Yueyin's scheme of using her power for private gain.
Luo Nan ignored He Yueyin's suggestion and willfully let his soul-bonded crow fly all the way from DeShang Building. The distance was nearly fifty kilometers, but it only took him less than half an hour to get there. The crow's speed had already broken a hundred. No matter how one looked at it, this was an overdraft of the crow's physical strength. It was very likely that it would lead to unpredictable consequences for the soul-bonded state. He couldn't blame He Yueyin for using this sort of method to express her dissatisfaction.
