"Fire! Fire!"
"Let the flames burn! Burn through this cloak of darkness!"
"Cloak … … Darkness!"
Luo Nan suddenly opened his eyes. He still wasn't quite used to the light here. He felt that the wall lamp was like a flame on the verge of being extinguished. It swayed restlessly under the cover of the Darkness Cloak.
It was precisely the Darkness Cloak that pressed down on his body, isolating him from the outside world. It was like the sequela of a lack of oxygen. His entire body felt sluggish, unable to muster any energy.
He understood that this feeling wasn't right. He put his feet down from the pedestal and his fingers tapped the ring-shaped chair on his body. The smart wall lamp's brightness began to increase, and warm rays of light sprinkled down.
The unbalanced state of light and darkness twisted. The exquisite veins of the tree walls, the bookshelves, the wall decorations, and the shadows they cast. They formed a picture together with the extended staircase. This caused this narrow space of less than three square meters to stretch out and possess a marvelous sense of layering.
Luo Nan felt much better.
Right now he was in the treehouse of Withered Tree Sandbar. This was the private area that his parents had single-handedly built.
This was the first time he had come to school after two weeks. The design of the day shift curriculum, the narrow social circle, and of course, the sick leave that Xie Junping had arranged for him. It was destined that the vast majority of people wouldn't know that such a student had quietly disappeared and quietly returned.
After the end of the day's classes, Luo Nan arrived at Gear as the only official member of the Ritual Club. He arrived at the treehouse that was still unknown to everyone and quietly rested.
Time had washed away his mother's aura in this place, but there were countless minute traces that manifested her past existence. Luo Nan had deliberately searched for her at first, but he felt that there was no need to do so after a moment. He just sat in the resting room on the lower level, leaning against the slightly bumpy decorations on the tree wall. He stared blankly. Countless things tangled in his mind, but none of them had any meaning.
This continued until he fell into a deep sleep, when he was roused awake by the crazy ramblings of his grandfather in his memories.
He had been tormented by those crazy ramblings for the past two days. He always wanted to analyze a hidden line of logic from them, but this kind of whimsical thinking was destined to hurt his nose … … Even his brain was a bit numb.
He looked at his wristband. Nearly two hours had passed in his daze. It was also at this moment that the sound of a ladder was heard. It was a convenient tool that had just been installed at the end of the underwater corridor. It was used to enter and exit normally, and it was one of the results of Xie Junping's work over the past half a month. Not long after, Xie Junping, who had been in a meeting for half the afternoon, walked in. With one more person in the lounge, it immediately became especially crowded. He simply sat on the steps, yawning and crying, and asked casually, "What's wrong with you?
"Have you seen the video?"
"… No." Only now did Luo Nan remember that Xie Junping had sent him a video. Xie Junping said that he had found the culprit who had snuck into the treehouse. However, it was a little different from what he had expected. "You said it was a magical mouse?"
"It's a muskrat, not a rat!"
Xie Junping gnashed his teeth as he corrected Luo Nan's misconceptions. It could be said that the brown-skinned mouse that he had fought with for nearly half a month was engraved in his heart.
"That thing is definitely not ordinary. It's impossible for a normal rodent to have that kind of reaction and behavior pattern. It must have mutated after eating some waste from some laboratory!"
Luo Nan was able to feel Xie Junping's emotions. Xie Junping's attention wasn't just on the body of a rodent.
Today, Luo Nan arrived at Gear with a completely new appearance, shocking Luo Nan. He could roughly imagine how much effort Xie Junping had put into planning and planning for the past two weeks.
Xie Junping was the first person to treat Luo Nan like this, aside from his own family. Luo Nan had no intention of placing the reason within the framework of the Format Pyramid. He wasn't willing to speak dry words of thanks. He just silently remembered this favor and grinned.
"I'll look at it later. I'll wait until I catch that mouse. Uh, muskrat. Steam, braise, or stir-fry it up to you.
Xie Junping couldn't help imagining the beautiful scene of the brown-skinned mouse being tossed into a pot of oil. However, he soon sobered up and asked Luo Nan, "Aren't we going to that daoguan? When are we leaving? "
"It's about time. Right now."
Luo Nan had already obtained his aunt's permission to learn breathing techniques, but it couldn't be said to have been finalized yet. According to what Xue Lei said, Gym Master Xiu would rather have nothing than a substandard disciple when it came to accepting disciples. Luo Nan had to make a trip and meet with him before he could make a final decision.
According to Xue Lei, Gym Master Xiu's original words were, "Whether or not he can be taught, whether or not he can be taught, we'll talk when we meet."
For this reason, Luo Nan and Xue Lei arranged a time to meet at the Divine Yu Gym. Xie Junping volunteered to be Luo Nan's driver after hearing about this matter.
Luo Nan wasn't at school for over half a month, but Xie Junping and Xue Lei's friendship didn't break. Xue Lei's problems with his society had come to a standstill after the incident at the Limestone Water Village Pub. Xie Junping was the one who helped resolve it.
Xue Lei's monstrous body and super strong martial strength made him an object of envy for Xie Junping. He yearned for the daoguan that Xue Lei spoke of, which had an amazing teacher.
The sky was already dark by the time they emerged from the dense forest on the north bank. Xie Junping was still driving the electric sightseeing car, speeding through the campus with Luo Nan. There were very few people on campus at this time. Most people had already returned home.
Xie Junping increased the speed of the sightseeing car to the highest speed allowed. At the same time, he spoke eloquently about the battle between him and the brown-skinned mouse.
Luo Nan suddenly spoke without any warning as he controlled the submarine to pursue the mouse.
"Slow down."
Xie Junping instinctively hit the brakes when they arrived at an intersection. Thanks to this, a dark green heavy container that was incompatible with the atmosphere of the campus rumbled past on another road. The sealed container brushed past the front of the sightseeing car, bringing with it a strong gust of wind that blew the fallen leaves and caused the windshield to ring.
"F * ck me!" Xie Junping had always been the one putting on airs on campus. When had he ever seen someone act unreasonably in front of him?
Plus, what the hell was this heavy container?
Acumen College implemented a strict system that prohibited external vehicles from entering. Even if there were all sorts of second generation and government officials on campus, they would at most use a sightseeing car as a means of transportation. There were also special passageways for construction and transport vehicles. How could they just barge through the campus?
The heavy container didn't stop. It sped all the way and soon entered a special underground passageway. But the situation just now was certainly a serious violation of the rules.
As a candidate for vice president of the Student Council and a high ranking member of the Honor Society, Xie Junping laughed mischievously. He called the campus security office as if it was a matter of course. He sent over the license plate, model number, and the image captured by the photon film.
"I guarantee that it won't leave the school gates."
Xie Junping winked at Luo Nan. Of course, this little matter didn't count as anything. Soon, he and Luo Nan forgot about this matter. They rode the sightseeing car to the parking lot and switched to the Phantom flying car. They sped all the way to the magnetic track and locked onto the coordinates of the River Wu District.
They hadn't run far when a call came in. Xie Junping swept a glance and used the car phone to connect. He chuckled and said: "Old Du, what's up? You're free from worry … …"
