A group of people looked at each other in dismay at the junction between the private room area and the public arena of Frost River Reality Area A. He Yueyin stopped talking. Earlier, Red Fox had entered a strange state of silence. He did not respond no matter what. The excitement from before was like a bonfire that had been extinguished, turning into ashes.
"She can give orders, but I think her ability to communicate with others is average." Zhang Yingying whispered into Bai Xinyan's ear. It was easy for her to talk while standing.
Bai Xinyan tightened her grip on Zhang Yingying's neck once more to shut her up.
He Yueyin was as quiet as ever. She just lowered her eyes as if she was muttering to herself.
On the street, Bamboo Pole walked quickly toward Frost River Reality. At the same time, he used the surrounding surveillance cameras to circle around a few times before finally capturing Red Fox's image. The angle of the image was not very good, but he could still see Red Fox's eye-catching red jacket. He stood like a stake in the stream of people. He was quietly lost in thought. No one knew what he was thinking.
Bamboo Pole let out a long breath. "It's good that he didn't just charge in. Those words were effective..."
Papercut swayed his slightly plump body with great effort to keep up with Bamboo Pole's footsteps. He tried to come up with an idea. "Can we take the lead and verify it?"
The conversation between the two of them had intentionally avoided the encrypted channel so as to not agitate the Red Fox.
Bamboo Pole shook his head without even thinking. "It's too dangerous."
According to Luo Nan's updated dynamic map, the one closest to He Yueyin and the others was the corpse marked as an Oblatum Knight. However, the distance between each Oblatum Knight was not large.
Right now, the situation in Frost River Reality Area A was like a strange chess game. The luxury private room area and the public arena were the boundaries of the river, separating the Society from the Order of Justice.
The Society had deployed their chariots and cannons. Before they could do anything, the old generals were already fighting with their own Shi Xiang. However, the rest of the chess pieces were ready, and their formation was strict. Normally, these chariots and cannons were prepared to devour their own old generals. However, if the Society really wanted to cross the river, then the corresponding pressure would naturally be borne by the Society.
Papercut spread his hands after listening to Bamboo Pole's explanation. "Something will happen if we verify it. Something will happen if we don't verify it. Isn't this tormenting us? That Boss Luo should at least say something clearly. "
Papercut did not take a stand on either side of the argument, but Red Fox's intense and resolute reaction stirred up some sympathy in him. At the same time, Luo Nan's long silence made him a bit dissatisfied.
Even if he was a teenager, since he had stepped into the circle and participated in the operation, he had to show enough professionalism and teamwork. Especially in such a critical moment, a "cheater" could kill the entire team with a single thought. As a team member, who wouldn't be afraid? In the end, the Red Fox was just overreacting.
Papercut shot another glance at the encrypted channel. Then, as expected, he saw a young and childish face. For some unknown reason, Cat Eyes, who was sharing her view, had fixed her gaze on Luo Nan's face for quite some time.
This seemingly immature high school student had entered a state of silence since the beginning of the debate. Be it sarcastic remarks or supportive actions, none of them could move him. Upon closer inspection, Luo Nan should still be using his all-encompassing senses. His eyes were vacant, and his thoughts were misty. His attention wasn't placed on the matter of Red Fox.
If one were to put it in a good way, it would be due diligence and indifference. But if one were to put it in a bad way, it would be too arrogant, selfish, and cold-blooded!
Kids these days...
Papercut's view leaned toward the latter, but he was calmer than Red Fox. In the end, he just sent a private message to Cat Eyes. "Hey, Kitty. Do you see anything?"
Cat Eyes did not respond immediately. Her view did not change at all. Was she entranced?
Papercut was helpless. He could only send another message. "Is there a way to verify it without provoking the Order?"
It was in the instant he sent the message that he inexplicably recalled the conclusion of a famous lecturer in the Society's Team Coordination class. When the public channel of a team is idle, private messages and private messages are prevalent. When that happens, the collapse of the team is just a few feet away.
Papercut grinned. He looked at Luo Nan's image in the encrypted channel and felt even worse. At this time, Cat Eyes' view swayed. It seemed that someone was calling out to her.
"Kitty, what do you say?" Inside Frost River Reality, Zhang Yingying could no longer hold back. She forcefully pried open Bai Xinyan's chokehold arm and called out to Cat Eyes.
Papercut was not the only one who felt the terrible atmosphere of the team. Zhang Yingying had firmly stood by Luo Nan's side before, but she was very clear in her mind. As the focal point of the conflict, this kid's taciturn way of doing things was extremely inappropriate.
Acting deep and reserved was no longer popular. Everyone liked warm guys!
However, this brother Luo Nan really could not be woken up. Bai Xinyan, from the perspective of a doctor, advised her not to disturb Luo Nan while he was in the middle of sensing. This was to avoid a situation from happening.
As for He Yueyin, Luo Nan's impression of her as a swift and decisive secretary was inexplicably deep and reserved tonight. She spoke haltingly and her goal was unclear. Her performance was completely different from last week when they were dealing with the Human-Faced Arachnid. It seemed that He Yueyin had yet to truly clarify the so-called 'mission' up until now. This made Red Fox so angry that his brain juice was about to burst out.
Helpless, Zhang Yingying could only consult Cat Eyes, who was the most professional on core issues. If Cat Eyes could understand Luo Nan's intentions, help explain a few words or provide a proof, then there would be a possibility of loosening this tight knot.
Cat Eyes did not respond immediately after the call was sent out. Instead, two seconds passed before she suddenly turned her head. It was as if she had been startled awake. This gave Zhang Yingying a fright. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Cat Eyes extended her hand and straightened the flat brimmed hat she wore crookedly. The shadow hanging down from the brim of the hat blocked half of her face. "What are you talking about?"
Zhang Yingying looked at her suspiciously before saying, "I'm talking about the matter of verification. Red Fox is unforgiving, and Luo Nan, this fellow, just can't get a fart out of it. Do you have a way to verify... something a bit more reliable?"
On the other side, Papercut nodded to himself. He was thinking the same thing as Zhang Yingying. But then he saw that Cat Eyes did not respond. Instead, her line of sight shifted back to Luo Nan's face. She moved away slightly before returning back. It was as if that delicate and pretty young face possessed some sort of terrifying magnetism.
This was the rhythm of being mesmerized!
Papercut could not help but ridicule in his mind. It was also at this time that Cat Eyes's line of sight suddenly congealed. It was highly focused, so much so that the interface of her entire field of vision became blurry.
The only thing that was clear was the pair of pupils that slowly rose up in the center of the interface. They still carried a bit of mottled and mottled colors.
The pupils belonged to Luo Nan.
This contradictory character seemed to have finally heard the various doubts and dissatisfactions of the people. He temporarily walked out from his self-enclosed logic to connect with the outside world.
The target of Luo Nan's gaze was Cat Eyes, but Papercut was paying attention to Cat Eyes's shared perspective. It was the same as looking through Cat Eyes's eyes and locking gazes with Luo Nan.
Okay, the word 'locking gazes' was not accurate. It should be a one-sided observation...
But inexplicably, when Papercut's gaze locked with Luo Nan's pupils that could not be considered clear, a cold shiver suddenly ran through his body. At this moment, even the drizzle falling from the sky had an additional chill to it. It seeped down to the bones.
Bamboo Pole's whisper faintly entered Papercut's ears, "This eye is sinister..."
