"Good evening, Fox."
"Good, good evening." Red Fox responded instinctively. In reality, he was sluggish for a full five seconds before he managed to regain his wits. He bowed again. "President, you... are here?"
The middle-aged man behind him was the president of the Wilderness Explorers Society's Xia City branch. He was the nominal leader of all ability users in the city, Ouyang Chen.
There was practically no one in Xia City who did not know of the president, who was known as the Gentleman of the Laboratory. If one wanted to find the president, one had to knock on the door of the laboratory on the thirteenth floor of the Shangding Triplex Building.
Especially after the HexaEar came out and the gradual perfection of the Psychic Wave Network, Ouyang Chen took on the roles of chief engineer, operating officer, and administrator. He spent all day adjusting the network, solving bugs, or carrying out service refinement and in-depth research. Many people suspected that their President Ouyang would not take a single step out of the building for twenty-four hours a day, three hundred and sixty-five days a year.
The formal attire he wore had not changed for many years only because he appeared in public at a pitifully small number of formal meetings.
It was because Red Fox knew of these things that he felt as if he had fallen into a dream when he saw Ouyang Chen appear outside Frost River Reality. His mind was in chaos. Also, what did the president's first words mean?
Ouyang Chen smiled as if he was just passing by. He waved his hand at Red Fox. "You guys talk. I interrupted midway. Sorry for being rude."
When Red Fox heard this, he immediately looked at the encrypted channel. However, there was no eye-catching 'administrator' symbol. Ouyang Chen was not in the encrypted channel. But looking at it from another perspective, the entire Psychic Wave Network was set up by Ouyang Chen. He had the authority to supervise all official actions coordinated by the Society. It was normal for him to see their argument.
Did he see everything that was said just now?
Red Fox was a bit absent-minded but he could feel that Ouyang Chen's arrival had miraculously lowered his burning emotions. All that was left was a slight warmth in the pit of his heart.
He Yueyin's voice continued to come from the HexaEar. "... I don't want to give you the impression that I'm expressing my emotions. I only wish to state the facts for you. Every metropolitan area in the world is nominally under the rule of the United Government. In reality, they are in a semi-independent state. The ecology of every city is different. The secular world is like this. The inner world is the same. There is no true unified order and logic. I don't like this situation. But it has resulted in this fact. Regardless of Headquarters' conclusion, no matter what your results are in Hu City, it is meaningless to transplant you to Xia City. "
Red Fox Heart.

His mind was erratic, and most of the words went in one ear and out the other. But he noticed something. From the moment Ouyang Chen appeared until now, even if he did not enter the encrypted channel, his reaction was still very intense. However, there was no news from Frost River Reality at all.
There was no doubt, no surprise, no greeting, nothing at all! It seemed that He Yueyin and the others were completely unaware of Ouyang Chen's arrival. Or perhaps, this President Ouyang only existed in his own world!
Could it really be an illusion?
The Red Fox's consciousness became even more absent-minded. He could not help but turn his head to look at Ouyang Chen. The president was so clear and honest. He even raised his hand to signal for him to listen carefully.
Right at this moment, a few highly sensitive words pierced his eardrums from He Yueyin's side. "I don't know what the 'death list' is, but I believe that an Awakened's core self-logic shouldn't be distorted by external threats."
President Ouyang, who proposed the theory of 'Three Levels of Logic', was right beside him. The Red Fox naturally knew the meaning of 'Self Logic'. That was what an ability user used to influence the outside world, to truly unleash their own power.
Distortion? That was not a good word at all!
First, he was slapped in the face by his own words. Then, he was frightened by Ouyang Chen. The current Red Fox did not have the mood to be entangled. He just sneered and prepared to inform the other side of Ouyang Chen's arrival...
"Aren't the surrounding people stupid?" Ouyang Chen suddenly asked.
"Huh?" The Red Fox heard this and subconsciously turned his head to look all around. He observed the bustling stream of people coming and going, but he did not know how to answer.
Ouyang Chen extended his right hand and gently swung his arm. It was as if he was tapping a beat. He drew a triangle in the air and suddenly changed the topic. "The three First Oblatums of the Order of Justice are standing in a triangle. The Evolution Field covers them and acts as a prelude to the curse. One of them is a Secretbound First Oblatum and two Clearsworn First Oblatums. Their strength is at most B +, C +, and C +. According to the Evolution Incantation Theory, their actual range of control is a vast area with the center of the triangle as the center. The radius is 3.2 times the longest midline. "
Red Fox felt like an idiot. He could not keep up with Ouyang Chen's train of thought.
"If we convert the range, then this means that these three buildings, Frost River Reality, and the two neighboring blocks are all within the range of the curse. Everyone who is watching and those in the neighboring blocks are actually in danger of losing their lives. Yet, they are still here. Aren't they stupid? "
Ouyang Chen was very serious.
(This chapter is not finished. Please turn the page.)
The smile on his face was no longer there. Behind the retro glasses, his eyes were calm and clear. This was the usual appearance of the Gentleman of the Laboratory.
Red Fox was more familiar with this, but he was also more nervous. He hesitated for a moment before answering, "Because they are completely ignorant of the danger?"
"More or less, but it's not enough." Ouyang Chen extended his hand and pointed outwards. It was as if he was stirring the surface of the water. His finger streaked across the surging stream of people. Fine ripples spread out.
Red Fox's eyes suddenly widened. At this moment, he finally discovered the strangeness of the surrounding crowd … No, it was the problem between him and Ouyang Chen.
The two of them were clearly standing in the stream of people, but everyone was ignoring them!
Even if everyone's attention was focused on the area around Frost River Reality, it was inevitable that they would bump into each other in the crowded stream of people. However, the current situation was that no one was making contact with the two of them. They passed by their sides, in the middle, and even passed through their bodies. The two of them seemed to have transformed into formless ghosts. Their bodies were in the real world, coexisting with the surrounding stream of people. Yet, there was an insurmountable distance between them.
And on the other side of the encrypted channel, Red Fox clearly saw that the timer in the corner of the interface had actually stopped!
"This, this is …"
"True Projection, Spatial Fault, whatever you want to call it. However, I'm more used to calling it the Logic World." Ouyang Chen extended his hand and pointed at his temple. He added, "It's a world that I interpret using my logic."
Was this the power of an Extraordinary?
In the face of such an inconceivable method, Red Fox completely lost the courage to think. He could only bow his head and admit defeat. "President, please give us a clear explanation."
Ouyang Chen did not feel offended. Just like he did in the Society's high level training class, he used the usual terminology to explain, "It's because they know nothing about our logic and the logic of the inner world … The range of thought of ordinary people mostly stops at the limits of their field of vision. Therefore, they cannot see the danger. There are also some people who consider the range of a firearm, the range of an explosion, and other concepts. However, this is not enough. If they truly want to avoid trouble, they need to cross at least two street blocks. This is a danger that they cannot imagine."
Ouyang Chen's explanation was undoubtedly the truth.
Red Fox nodded. Who knew that Ouyang Chen would change the topic. "It's not just them. Even you don't understand. In a sense, you are as stupid as them. No, you are even more stupid! Why? "
"......"
