In the eyes of capitalists, everything in the world could be squeezed out of profit. Even though Luo Nan appeared inexperienced and clumsy during the operation at Frost River Reality, even a fool could see the super plasticity of his abilities.
For a large financial group like Quantum Corporation, even if they did not make a long-term investment, they could take out a few similar tools with short term explosive power. These tools would be able to display unimaginable effects at critical moments.
Unfortunately, Quantum Corporation had never paid any attention to Luo Nan. If not for Yan Yongbo's arrival, if not for Zhang Yingying's discerning eyes, Luo Nan would have been forever buried in the boundless sea of people until he turned into a barrel of gunpowder, exploding with a bang.
He Yueyin absolutely did not believe that there was nothing fishy going on here. Then, in the end, what made Quantum Corporation give up on excavating this' wealth '?
Bai Xinyan removed her hands from behind her head and stretched her waist. "I'm just a researcher in a laboratory. What deep information could I possibly know? This is all I know. It's up to you to believe it or not. "
She displayed this attitude because she was certain that He Yueyin could not do anything to her right now. The transmission and exchange of information depended on her mood. She was willing to say this because she wanted to see He Yueyin's reaction.
It would be a pleasant surprise if juice could be squeezed out from a sugarcane that had already been squeezed once.
He Yueyin did not force her any further. She just sank into deep thought. The only thing that could make such an insatiable and greedy capital stop was either a terrifying and irresistible threat, or an incomparably enormous profit that could be enticed and harvested, or both.
Following this direction, He Yueyin rearranged the information related to Quantum Corporation and Formatting Theory over the past few years. She tried to find clues, but it was hard to obtain an answer in a short amount of time.
At this time, Bai Xinyan stared at her with a beaming smile. "I've spent so much time talking to you. Shouldn't you answer my question?"
He Yueyin did not even raise her eyelids. She completely ignored her, but she did not directly refuse.
Seeing this, Bai Xinyan bluntly said, "Although Ouyang Chen stole the limelight in the matter of Frost River Reality, I feel that what's more interesting is the deep involvement of the government and the military. Ability users are controlled in the cage of the Logic World... The all-encompassing social consciousness, the unified political structure, the balanced intervention of the inner and outer worlds, and even the final fusion. It seems that this is the embodiment of someone's authoritarian governance theory?"
This series of questions actually pushed Luo Nan's ward a step further with regards to the question of whether or not He Yueyin's father would participate in the election. It reflected a high degree of concern towards the political situation of Xia City. It was extremely straightforward.
Towards these questions, He Yueyin still remained silent. However, as long as she didn't refute him outright, Bai Xinyan had a pretty good idea of what was going on. She wanted to make some comments on this matter, but at this moment, He Yueyin's brows visibly furrowed. Soon after, Bai Xinyan also received the information through special channels.
She fiddled with her wristband, letting the short text and information repeatedly appear in her eyes. It was just like the content of the wristband. "It really is a consistent way of doing things."
Just ten minutes ago, across the ocean in Bay City, a Heart Illumination First Oblatum of the Order of Justice had publicly killed the Vice President of the Bay City branch of the ability user society due to a disagreement. This led to an intense conflict between the Order of Justice and the Society.
"Similar incidents will probably happen one after another in the coming days."
Bai Xinyan revealed a strange smile. "Even if it won't be this serious, the tone has already been set. In a few days, every branch will be in a state of emergency. Naturally, Headquarters will be hard-pressed. They will certainly make some moves... Your troubles have never been outside of the Society. "
He Yueyin simply knocked on the car window in response to Bai Xinyan's comment. "Stop the car."
"I'll take you. It'll save time."
"There's no need." He Yueyin pushed open the door and got off the car at a temporary stop. After standing still, she cast her gaze toward the building of Renai Hospital, which had been left behind to the point where she couldn't even see a trace.
Over there, Luo Nan was still working hard for a more comfortable lifestyle. For a fifteen or sixteen year old kid, there was nothing wrong with this. However, how long could this kind of peaceful and tranquil life last?
Luo Nan didn't know that He Yueyin was worried several kilometers away. Right now, his plan for freedom was progressing smoothly. With Bai Xinyan's cooperation, Xue Lei used his own body to persuade his Aunt. It was a reasonable matter.
By the time visiting hours ended and Xue Lei and his Aunt left together, Luo Nan's trip to the daoguan for practice was basically set.
Luo Nan let out a long breath. His mind relaxed, and a deviation inevitably appeared. Because he was on guard against Bai Xinyan, and because he was a bit careful, Luo Nan never thought about telling others the secret of his external neuron.
But he never expected that his concealment would actually cause He Yueyin, Bai Xinyan, and even more people to make an extremely pessimistic judgment.
He Yueyin's attitude made him feel even more embarrassed. For a moment, he almost wanted to confess this secret.
But at this time, he recalled the words that He Yueyin had said not too long ago. "Everyone should have a secret. Only they know."
He still didn't completely understand the deeper meaning of her words. But judging from his reasoning, this was more trustworthy than the impulsiveness of his emotions.
In the dead of night, no one would come to disturb him at this time. Luo Nan took a deep breath, contending with the choking cough that floated up once more. His mind was restrained, sinking into the depths of his brain.
A bolt of lightning was roaming within the bright and dark region of his internal vision.
This was the external neuron, the Dynamo Core that Jack and the others spoke of. Under the interaction of the mental plane and the material plane, a peculiar representation appeared.
When his senses went a step deeper, a certain marvelous feeling of reality came back. There really was an enormous and tangible medium. It was like an enormous hole, like the void, and it appeared within.
The vast majority of the endlessly rising soul strength was drawn inside, separated by a layer. It was this buffer that allowed the surging torrent to turn into a vast and deep lake, avoiding a direct impact.
This was the most life-saving function of the external neuron.
Luo Nan called this function the Hollow Depository. It was by relying on this that he was able to endure the pressure of the rapidly rising soul strength to this day.
But another week passed. No matter how much Bai Xinyan's Cage Therapy increased the consumption, this method of treating the symptoms was unable to restrain the steady and solid growth momentum of the soul strength.
Even if it was the "Void Hiding", it would not be able to hide it. More and more soul strength overflowed from within, forming a pressing and squeezing force against Luo Nan's fleshly body.
Whether it was Bai Xinyan or He Yueyin, these people's pessimistic judgments of Luo Nan's unbalanced state of body and soul originated from this.
However, Luo Nan himself had a different feeling about this.
The uncontrollable growth of soul strength was like a flood that overflowed in all directions. It was hard to control. But after filling the void of the deep hole, the rapid growth turned into a slow growth. From formless to tangible. Was this not a form of control? Could it be that it was impossible to take a step further?
