The sound of water rumbled in his ears, and the strong water current hit his face like a knife.
The pain was still a small matter. Luo Nan strove to stop his footsteps, but the Frost River Waterway, which was unpredictable and unpredictable, didn't give him any chance. The high-speed frigid water and ice floes wrapped around him. His feet practically didn't touch the ground as he continued to move forward.
In the space of a few breaths, Luo Nan felt a pressure assault the top of his head. He abruptly pulled his head back. The hard rock cut through the water's surface and dangerously cut through his scalp.
Above the water layer was the rock layer. Luo Nan was already unable to poke his head out. However, he simply didn't have the time to take a deep breath just now. After tumbling for a distance, his body was already filled with a deep chill. He had lost all feeling in his four limbs. What was even worse was that his chest couldn't help but feel stuffy. The consequences of not having stored oxygen had appeared. Luo Nan's mind was in a daze. He unconsciously opened his mouth and nose and cold water poured in:
"Ah wu wu lu lu …"
Even a man made of iron wouldn't be able to endure the cold water pouring down his nose. Luo Nan's hands and feet struggled a few times before his eyes went black. Then a dark red glow enveloped him. Only the center of the circle shone faintly. This was the standard state of near-death. It took a while before Luo Nan recovered.
At the corner of his field of vision, the jumping number reached "10". Guide Nina's gentle voice prompted,
"The objective of this stage has been completed."
The immersion helmet was powered off, and Luo Nan's consciousness withdrew from the reality interface. He felt the viscous nutrient fluid surge around him, and his soul strength, having lost its guidance, was in a similar situation. It was smashed back, but it was much more violent.
Luo Nan silently recited the sixteen words of 'My heart's a prison'. He utilized the chanting breathing technique to maintain his mental state in a peaceful state. In the depths of his mind, the chains rang a few times. After continuously shaking his soul power, it finally stabilized. However, there were still waves of soul power seeping into the ground. It was like a small waterfall rushing down a short cliff, constantly pressuring him.
"Very good. His condition is quite stable." Bai Xinyan's voice sounded, indicating that the treatment for the day had come to an end. "You can enter the visiting hours earlier … That's nice, right?"
These last words were clearly not meant for Luo Nan.
The water level of the nutrient fluid continued to drop at this time. Luo Nan extended his hand and took off his helmet. The blood-red glow of the setting sun cut through the window and spread out on the outer walls of the treatment pod. The glow blended together with the turbid nutrient fluid. Everything he looked at was covered in a haze of light.
Luckily, Luo Nan didn't use his eyes much right now. He naturally knew what changes were happening outside. He extended his hand and knocked on the inner wall of the cabin. He sent a message through the HexaEar in his ear:
"Good afternoon, Sister He." "Isn't this Secretary He?" Bai Xinyan, who was looking through the surveillance records, said casually.
No one paid any attention to her. He Yueyin wore a neat and tidy professional suit. She stood outside the healing pod. Though Luo Nan might not be able to see her clearly, she still gave a slight bow out of habit:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Luo."
It would take some time for the nutrient fluid to be completely extracted. He Yueyin used the HexaEar to ask about Luo Nan's specific situation.
Luo Nan grunted and grunted in response. There were some words that he could not understand, and he was unable to explain them clearly. A week had passed since the incident at Frost River Reality. His original plan to return to school and study had died in the womb. His permission to leave the hospital had been revoked, and he was once again placed under twenty-four-hour surveillance. Bai Xinyan was personally in charge of this.
One could see just how negative the Society's judgment of Luo Nan's body's condition was from the way they handled things.
But Luo Nan really didn't think so … … Unfortunately, he couldn't say it.
He Yueyin also discovered that asking Luo Nan was actually useless. In the end, she still needed to find a professional. She looked at Bai Xinyan. Bai Xinyan casually tapped the flexible screen interface:
"The gain value hovers between -17 and -25. It's an acceptable range. As I said just now, it's relatively stable."
The so-called gain value was also known as the effect value. It was a quantification of the degree of coordination between the body and soul in Bai Xinyan's laboratory. Generally speaking, it reflected the way, structure, and degree of mutual interference between the mental and material planes were good or bad.
A positive value represented a positive gain and a positive effect.
A negative value represented a negative effect.
A zero value represented no gain and no decrease.
Looking at this standard, the higher the gain value, the better. It was normal for a normal ability user to gain or lose one or two points under normal circumstances. It was more obvious when it went over ten points.
Luo Nan's gain value was negative, and it broke through twenty points. It was certainly a more serious type. But at this level, a normal person's state would be like an avalanche.
He could still fluctuate up and down. He was indeed relatively stable.
"How stable is he?"
"There aren't any particularly intense mood changes. As long as he doesn't do any intense exercise, he should have no problems living a normal life as a sickly invalid. Actually, there's no point in looking around. Moderate exercise, moderate rest, and maintaining a good mood are more important than anything else. I can't stop a beauty from rolling in the sheets, right? It's fine as long as you're happy. "
Luo Nan had just opened the healing pod when he heard this. He was speechless for a time. However, he had interacted with Bai Xinyan for a long time over the past few days. He had a better understanding of this person's temperament, and he gained a bit of immunity. He just pretended not to hear and lowered his head to find clothes to wear.
He Yueyin tilted her face slightly and stared at Bai Xinyan. Bai Xinyan smiled as usual.
Luo Nan had been shuttling in and out of the healing pod for many days. He was used to exposing his chest, back, thighs, and the like. The thickness of his skin had increased. He draped a patient's robe over his shoulders and called it a day.
He knew his own situation. Right now, Luo Nan's curiosity was placed elsewhere. "What's the situation like outside? The Order of Justice hasn't sent anyone over yet? "
He Yueyin didn't answer. Instead, Bai Xinyan spoke slowly, "You don't even care about your own injuries. It looks like you're quite eager for things to blow up?"
"......"
At this point, Bai Xinyan simply overstepped her boundaries and gave Luo Nan a lesson. "Oh, Student Luo Nan. You need to know that in the battle at Frost River Reality, there's no meaning in fighting over things or how many people die. Right now, the only thing everyone is concerned about is that the Martial Monarch has become an Extraordinary. Moreover, she's able to contend against the might of the holy artifact invited by the Order of Justice's Archoblatum. This is more important than anything else! "
"Extraordinary …." Luo Nan recalled the final stage of the conflict. Two powerful forces leaped back and forth, fighting fiercely across space. Even though most of the area was on the mental plane, the power that occasionally leaped into the material plane still blasted the Logic World into pieces.
Only later did Luo Nan learn that the first to cut in and cover for An Weng was the Order of Justice's Archoblatum, borrowing the power of the Scales of Truth. The one who cut in later was Zhang Yingying's boss, the legendary woman known as the Martial Monarch.
"It's impossible to overestimate the significance of an Extraordinary," Bai Xinyan explained in depth.
Bai Xinyan explained in depth, "In any power in the world, 'Extraordinaries' are a symbol of strength and rules. In recent years, Ouyang Chen, the Martial Monarch, and Old You have formed an iron triangle, stabilizing the foundation of the Society in Xia City. Right now, two of the three have become Extraordinary. The Society's influence in Xia City has skyrocketed. They will certainly fight for the right to speak. "
"Quantum Corporation has done it in Luo City. That place has become a paradise for capital. In Ai City, the Order of Justice has done it. That place is the Kingdom of God on Earth. But upon closer examination, one of them is a company that clearly pursues the greatest profit. The other is an order with a clear doctrine. What can the Society bring out? Some sort of lifestyle …. Perhaps they can borrow a shell and use it in another direction.
