The darkness that suddenly descended within Frost River Reality was like a curtain that covered one's face. Theoretically speaking, ability users with extraordinary powers and special forces equipped with exoskeleton armor would not be affected by the darkness. However, an atmosphere filled with malice and murderous intent followed the arrival of the darkness. Feelings and such were fabricated. They floated in the air, but the restless negative psychic pressure was real.
The group of people from the Society did not know the range of the darkness for now. However, they could personally feel the urgency and impatience within the darkness.
The more it was like this, the more they needed to be steady.
Under He Yueyin's deployment, Luo Nan was surrounded by the special forces armed with guns and shields. He advanced sideways, but his speed was not fast. Maintaining the formation was his number one priority.
Ghost Thunder and the other Oblatum Knights advanced with all their might. The distance between the two sides rapidly closed.
Every Oblatum Knight was equivalent to a C + rank Awakened. They were infinitely close to the Architect level. Overall, they followed the consistent logic of the Order and cultivated strictly. The power they possessed was more focused, direct, and tyrannical than ability users with outstanding personalities. Moreover, there was a natural tacit understanding between them.
When the four Oblatum Knights turned their attention to the Society's team at the same time, their malice intertwined with each other and blended with the darkness. It was like an incorporeal and brutal evil beast that roared soundlessly.
At this moment, the Format Pyramid on the bodies of Xue Weilun, his father, and the special forces shook at the same time. They were like candlelight in the wind, nearly extinguished. All of the attacks followed the flow of energy and information. Several firecrackers exploded on Luo Nan's mental plane.
The attacks on the mental plane disturbed the structure of his body and soul. Luo Nan's feet were a bit messed up. Then Cat Eyes and Xue Lei grabbed his arms one after the other. They supported him as he moved.
Cat Eyes did not say a word. Xue Lei whispered, "Nanster, are you okay?"
Luo Nan shook his head. The enemy's response was very decisive. They immediately changed directions and advanced. They coordinated with the power outage and used the darkness to launch a powerful attack. It was filled with the feeling of 'planning'.
The faintly discernible feeling of discomfort that had been present ever since he left the luxurious room appeared once more. But this time, the feeling of indescribable inexplicable had lessened. The constellations circling within his mental senses were clearly revealing something.
Luo Nan used a brand new perspective to analyze this dark and subtle hidden information. The most fundamental purpose of drawing the Life Sketches was to come up with a new explanation of the world in a dimension that was most suitable for him. He wanted to establish an axis and establish rules.
Because of this, when Luo Nan drew these Life Sketches and pieced them together to form a marvelous starry sky, large amounts of chaotic information no longer rushed at him like a swarm of bees. Instead, they revolved around each constellation, interacting with each other. Only after a buffering and combing process was Luo Nan able to selectively extract the information.
Such a model was also very crude. Compared to the feedback he received when his soul left his body in an out-of-body state, it was even more inferior. Many meaningful details would certainly be left out, and there would be a lot of redundancy at the same time … … But in the end, it was an effective method of explanation, and it was most suited to Luo Nan's reality.
It didn't matter what sort of secret methods the other party used. As long as they were effective against Luo Nan, Luo Nan would be able to sense them. Naturally, there would be a new explanation for them on this star atlas. They would be incorporated into Luo Nan's rules, making it convenient for him to finally trace the source and lock onto the target.
Originally, the information was very vague, but as the four Oblatum Knights advanced like a hurricane, Luo Nan's mind was filled with warning bells, and he was able to see things more clearly.
In his eyes, the darkness was the background of the profound void. Dozens of constellations and hundreds of thousands of stars were circling back and forth. Now, they were rapidly approaching and clashing with each other, bringing an unprecedented brilliance to the star map that had been relatively still. It formed an interesting contrast with the restless negative spiritual pressure on the plane of reality.
Everyone's Life Sketches were different. They appeared in the form of constellations. Some were simple, some were complex, some were clear, and some were blurry. Zhang Yingying and Cat Eyes were simple and clear. He already had a relatively deep understanding of them in the past. He Yueyin and Bai Xinyan were powerful and their configurations were exquisite and exquisite. With his current level of analysis, there were naturally more areas that were vague and ambiguous.
As for the four Oblatum Knights represented by 'Ghost Thunder', they were strong and had deep enmity towards him. It was even more difficult for them to draw it clearly. Within Luo Nan's mental senses, the four knights, one in front and the other three at the back, were like four balls of nebula dust that had exploded in deep space. They came pouncing over.
The collision on the star map level was a bit faster than the collision on the plane of reality. And when the two sides of the blurry chaos collided, the nodes and lines that were originally not very clear were purged of the dense fog. They suddenly became much clearer.
As the star map changed, He Yueyin, who was protecting the flank, issued an order, "White Salt, cover!"
Just as her voice fell, the ceiling above the pitch-black sky exploded with a rumble. The decorative planks shattered in the explosion, turning into shrapnel that splashed in all directions. The special police officers were well-trained. The shield-bearers raised their shields at the same time, blocking the space above them. Clanging sounds rang out for a time. There were even a few popping sounds of explosions mixed in with the subtle cracking sounds of the shield's structure being damaged.
The explosion-proof shields could block the inner ring, but they were useless against He Yueyin, Bai Xinyan, and Zhang Yingying, who were roaming around the outer ring.
Zhang Yingying was fine. She took two quick steps to the front and evaded it. The remaining two were within the range of the explosive shrapnel, and their reactions were completely different.
Bai Xinyan's movement speed did not change at all. It was just that a cold wave suddenly rose from her body, sweeping through the air. Any shrapnel or explosive lightning was instantly frozen. Even the corresponding kinetic energy was stripped away. They rustled like snow, falling to the ground. Such an 'unscientific' spectacle nearly made the eyes of the special police officers pop out of their sockets. Only now did they understand the meaning behind He Yueyin's so-called 'cover'.
As for He Yueyin, she did not retreat when the cold wave flooded the darkness. Instead, she advanced. Her figure could still be seen with her first step. Her second step was blurred and distorted. By the time she took her third step, her figure had completely disappeared. Only a brilliant arc of light sliced through the darkness. And the arc of light was already thirty meters away … Right now, the average distance between the four Oblatum Knights and the team was only around forty meters!
Right now, He Yueyin had clearly killed her way to the front of the enemy's pouncing formation. If she was even the slightest bit sluggish, there would be a fatal risk of being attacked from all sides by the enemy.
But the arc of light was far too fast. They didn't have the time to truly worry about anything. The brilliant arc of light suddenly flashed and extinguished.
Practically no sound could be heard as the arc of light flickered and extinguished. But a certain constellation immediately fell apart in Luo Nan's perception on the star atlas. It dimmed and disappeared.
It was only at this time that the people with the sharpest ears were barely able to hear the sound of blood splattering within the dark air.
Xue Lei drew a cold breath to the side. "A kill in ten steps!"
Cat Eyes's voice was hoarse within the encrypted channel. "Ghost Thunder killed confirmed."
The channel was a sheet of silence until He Yueyin issued a new order. "Twelve o 'clock direction. Accelerate."
Following the order, Zhang Yingying, who was in front, did not utter a word. She turned around and sped up. And at the edge of the darkness where the team met, He Yueyin's figure appeared. She continued to protect the flank, as if nothing had happened before.
If there was any change, it would be that she shot a glance toward the center of the formation. Her target was not Luo Nan, but Xue Lei, who had just lost his voice.
