From Luo Nan's impression, this was the first time Zhang Yingying's anger had reached its peak. He was used to her laughing and joking, completely improper appearance. Her sudden outburst was quite impactful.
Luo Nan did not blame Zhang Yingying for her mood. He had received training from the Society. Whenever he chatted with Bamboo Pole, Papercut, and the others, he would never hear anything good about Headquarters. Luo Nan was very curious about this. How could such an organization retain people?
Papercut's answer was resources, strength, and fewer restrictions. But he also admitted that all these benefits were as fragile as bubbles when serious conflicts of interest were involved.
Bamboo Pole's answer was much more artistic. "Not all cities are like Xia City."
The environment of Xia City was indeed very good, but it was not a paradise that transcended the world. It was hard to avoid being affected. Recently, the investigation team of Headquarters was the kind of trash that wasn't welcomed by chickens and dogs in Xia City.
What was truly strange was that the Xia City branch handled things coldly and secretly guarded against them. How did they get the chance to come out and disgust people?
Luo Nan was not prepared to bicker with Zhang Yingying. His thoughts spun as he unleashed his own special response. He did not give Xue Lei another call. Instead, he directly unleashed his mental senses.
He was on the viewing platform, and the location of the party was on the 88th floor. There was a drop of over fifty floors. The straight-line distance between the two was no more than two or three hundred meters. It was all within the range of his mental senses.
Luo Nan easily found Xue Lei on the floor where the party was located. He gave him a subtle mental jolt, and Xue Lei's martial habits immediately alerted him. Next was communication on the mental plane.
Since the communication was one-way, and Xue Lei was not used to this method, Luo Nan did not go into too many details. But Xue Lei was very clear about the seriousness of the situation. He immediately informed Xiu Shenyu and hung up after a few words. He rushed upstairs.
Zhang Yingying slapped her thigh when Luo Nan did not immediately respond. "Did you understand what I said or not...?"
"I've already notified Xue Lei. He's coming upstairs right now. You can call him."
Zhang Yingying was stupefied. She instantly collected her meaningless emotions and asked, "How many floors off? Forget it. I'll ask him. Also, your mental senses have been opened, right? It's eighty meters in diameter. That should be enough. Remember, this is a matter of life and death. No matter what, you have to hold on and keep searching for suspicious targets … Don't hang up the phone. I turned on my communicator.
Luo Nan grunted. He listened to the quick conversation between Zhang Yingying and Xue Lei. His mental senses silently covered a wide range of a kilometer.
The magnificent scene of the Milky Way unfolded in his mind.
Starting from the underground space of Ocean Sky Cloud City, there were nearly 170 floors. The Life Sketches of tens of thousands of creatures lit up layer by layer. Stars filled the sky, dense and numerous. Actually, Luo Nan could ignore the vast majority of these areas. He just needed to search for the areas that his mental senses were unable to penetrate.
The speed at which the answer appeared exceeded his expectations.
It was the high-speed elevator that he had taken before … The elevator next to it was shrouded in a gloomy, dark fog, and a few stars were faintly discernible.
At this time, the suspicious elevator had already reached the 130th floor, which was the office area of a multinational corporation. Someone had pressed the button to open the elevator. It had paused for a while, but it would soon resume its upward state.
Luo Nan let out a breath: "Not too good."
Zhang Yingying immediately replied, "What happened?"
"There are indeed people coming up, but their strength is unknown."
"Avoid them. Utilize the advantage of your senses. Don't come face to face with them. If they have sensing abilities and you really can't avoid them, then enter the crowd. Don't give those fellows the chance to make a move. "
Luo Nan looked around the viewing platform, his lips silently grinning. Right now, there were very few figures on the platform. The so-called 'crowd' certainly didn't exist. Even if it did, he wasn't willing to use innocent people as shields.
Finally, he cast his gaze towards the increasingly dusky sky. It would be hard for him to unearth a new secret of Gear today no matter what. Speaking of which, he seemed to lack a kind of 'intuition' inherited from his bloodline …. This son of his was unqualified!
Wasn't that right?
This unreasonable thought caused the emotions in his heart to tumble a few more times. He smacked the protective glass heavily, and this action startled Tian Si.
"Junior?"
Luo Nan didn't have the mood to give her an explanation right now. He simply said, "Let's go."
Tian Si was stunned. Luo Nan's current behavior and attitude were extremely odd, but she was smart and didn't plan on saying much. She just gave a soft grunt of agreement, taking on a submissive attitude that said, "I'll let you decide."
Zhang Yingying was quite baffled as well. "You're still leading someone? Who is it? "
Luo Nan didn't respond. He led Tian Si toward the elevator area with large strides. Given the speed of the elevator, he could still avoid the unidentified fellow.
But halfway there, a new element appeared within the range of his mental senses.
Luo Nan's footsteps suddenly stopped.
His mental senses were focused on the crystal pillar. This enormous pillar had a diameter of a hundred and twenty meters. Tens of thousands of marine life were placed within it, but ninety-nine percent of them were muddle-headed. Their Life Sketches were also scattered and scattered. He could just ignore them.
There was only a single devil ray. Because it was a Mutant, it had a powerful aura, and it didn't know how to conceal itself. Most of its Life Sketches were exposed outside the nebula. It was extremely eye-catching and outshone others.
And because of this, Luo Nan suddenly discovered that this big fellow had left the mid-deep water region that it liked to stay in. It went all the way up, its speed much faster than a high-speed elevator.
In the beginning, the location of the devil ray was around thirty floors lower than the elevator that hid the suspicious person. But as Luo Nan used his mental clairvoyance, the devil ray's height skyrocketed. It broke through the 130th floor barrier in the blink of an eye, and its speed didn't decrease in the slightest.
What made Luo Nan even more vigilant was that there was a much more obscure dark mist next to this big fellow. It was hidden extremely well. If it weren't for the fact that Luo Nan was affected by the bright Life Sketches of the devil ray on the mental plane, Luo Nan would have overlooked it.
This wasn't some marine product. It was a living person.
There was nothing to worry about. Luo Nan immediately changed directions and asked urgently, "Are there any elevators that don't go through Heavenly Ocean Lake?"
There were sixty high-speed elevators on the upper floors of Ocean Sky Cloud City. The structure was complex, and Luo Nan's nebula image wasn't particularly good at dealing with inanimate objects. He could only treat a dead horse as a living horse and ask.
"There are." Tian Si's response was admirable. She had done her homework earlier. She immediately pointed to the west side of the viewing platform. "There's a row over there."
"Walk faster. We'll split up when we get there."
Tian Si was practically jogging under Luo Nan's urging. She was a bit out of breath. "Is Ju Maoxun and the others coming up? I'm sorry. I just …. "
"It's none of your business." Luo Nan made Tian Si shut her mouth.
"You're still acting all high and mighty! If you're in the mood, why don't you take a few more steps? " Zhang Yingying urged Luo Nan from the other side of the communicator. She was mocking Luo Nan, but she was actually stomping her feet in anger. "If you don't have the ability, then don't pretend …. Xue Lei, hurry up!"
Xue Lei's urgent voice rang out. "I'll go from the outside."
Luo Nan corrected his position and updated the information. "Go to the west side of the building. I'll report the floor at any time. One of them is in the Central District elevator. The other one is in the crystal pillar. "
Luo Nan took out a thumb-sized metal bottle from his pocket as he spoke. He unscrewed the cap with one hand, shook it, and then simply tossed it away.
The bottle landed on the ground. It sounded like it was empty.
Tian Si couldn't understand what Luo Nan was doing, but her entire body was stung with cold sweat from his words, which were filled with the smell of danger.
In the end, she was a smart person. She cherished her life. She didn't say anything, but she secretly turned on the communication function of her wristband. She hesitated for half a second between calling the police and notifying 'that person' before choosing the latter.
However, there was no response from the communication device.
Tian Si's mind went blank for a moment. She didn't look where she was going during this moment of absent-mindedness, and her high heels slipped down the stairs. She immediately stumbled, but Luo Nan supported her.
Luo Nan extended a helping hand, but his feet didn't stop at all. He half-dragged Tian Si forward. Under such circumstances, even though he didn't say a word, the pressing sense of crisis was like a thundercloud wrapped in lightning. It pressed down heavily, frightening one's soul.
Tian Si's face was pale. She didn't say a word. She walked seven or eight steps in a daze before breaking away from Luo Nan's support. Her hand clutched the painting clip tightly, and her knuckles turned pale.
The two walked into the elevator area on the west side. Coincidentally, an elevator arrived before Luo Nan even pressed the button. The bell rang, and the metal door opened.
Tian Si's mind was numb right now. She followed her instincts to move forward, but she was suddenly pulled by Luo Nan. She immediately lost her balance, and her petite figure fell backward. She bumped into Luo Nan's shoulder, and she was pushed back.
She let out a low cry, and the painting clip in her hand slid to the ground. The two people retreated at the same time stepped on it one after the other. Not only was it dirty, it even cracked from being stepped on.
But Tian Si couldn't care about these details right now.
A figure slowly walked out from behind the opened elevator door. He wore a security uniform, and he held a police baton in his hand. The electric current switch was already turned on, and it sizzled. This new type of police baton had the effect of an electric whip. Sparks could be seen flickering.
The leaping arcs of electricity possessed an absolute deterrent force from Tian Si's perspective.
Since he was a security personnel, why didn't he call for help?
It was because this person's face was a strange appearance that made one's blood run cold. Dilated pupils, stiff flesh, and flowing snot and tears. Everything presented was filled with fear.
The corner of his mouth split open, twitching upwards. Just looking at this part of his face made it seem like he was grinning in laughter.
His face was forcefully inserted with completely opposite emotions. From Tian Si's perspective, this scene was even more terrifying than the scene of the devil ray charging into the crystal pillar.
At the very least, that electric baton was real.
"He's crazy!" Tian Si moaned.
The crazy security guard's throat emitted a strange "ho ho" sound just as Tian Si's voice fell. He exerted force with his feet, brandishing the electric baton as he charged over.
Tian Si let out a short cry of alarm, and her body shrunk behind Luo Nan. Just as she hid in the shadows behind Luo Nan's back, the muffled sound of a heavy object smashing into something rang out. There was also the sound of something rolling.
Luo Nan's figure stood steadily without moving, and he continued to cover the space in front of him. Tian Si breathed in with great effort to restore her calm. She vaguely heard Luo Nan say something in a low voice:
