Tian Si didn't understand what Luo Nan said at all. She just saw the crazy security guard fall face first to the ground. The baton slipped from his hand and slid all the way to their feet.
She instinctively wanted to pick it up and use it to defend herself, but Luo Nan kicked the baton away the moment she bent down.
"Don't delay. Take this elevator and leave first."
Luo Nan urged Tian Si to move faster. Tian Si hesitated for a moment before walking out from behind Luo Nan. She walked toward the elevator when another ding rang out. A second elevator had arrived. Its location was right next to the previous elevator.
Tian Si took a step forward and was half a step ahead of Luo Nan. She raised her head and saw the same scene from before. Two security guards with the same expression came out of the elevator. One of them was even carrying a riot gun.
Tian Si's vermillion lips parted when she saw the pitch-black muzzle of the gun, but her throat was choked with fear. She was unable to make a sound. She no longer had the chance to hide this time. But it was also because of this that her pupils dilated from fear clearly reflected the entire process of the two crazy security guards' eyes rolling white as they silently fell to the ground.
There were no sound or light effects during the entire process. It was like a pantomime. The people on the viewing platform outside didn't notice anything. But the more it was like this, the more bizarre and mysterious elements seeped into the bottom of her heart.
Tian Si subconsciously covered her mouth. Her ice-cold palms felt a bit of warmth from the breath, allowing her to confirm that she was still in the real world. But why? Why did she get involved in a conflict of this level?
Luo Nan didn't have the leisure to ponder over a girl's mind. He saw that Tian Si couldn't move her legs, so he gave her a light push. "Hurry up!"
Tian Si bit her lips and took two steps forward. However, at this moment, the faint sound of motors suddenly stopped, and the display screens of the entire row of elevators on this side had all turned off.
The power was cut off, and the metal doors automatically closed, isolating Tian Si outside.
Whether it was Tian Si or Luo Nan, they were both stunned for a moment. Half a second later, Luo Nan grinned. It was hard to tell if he was smiling or not. "The other side doesn't fight a battle unprepared."
A muffled vibration came over just as Luo Nan finished speaking. The two trembled slightly beneath their feet.
"An earthquake?" Tian Si's first thought was an earthquake that had persisted for over a month. But the second wave of vibration came right after. There was also the sound of crashing water. It clearly came from the direction of Heavenly Ocean Lake.
The few tourists on the viewing platform were all extremely shocked. Some stuck their heads in the direction of the swimming pool, while others directly walked over.
Tian Si looked over as well, but Luo Nan pulled her away. "Go to the fire escape passageway."
Luo Nan no longer paid attention to the defunct elevator. He quickly confirmed the location and walked a few steps quickly. He rushed ahead of the confused Tian Si, wanting her to keep up.
In a trance, Tian Si took a few steps forward and stepped over the body of the "crazy security guard". This time, she didn't trip. Instead, she was more stimulated. When things reach an extreme, they move in the opposite direction. Her mind became much clearer. Remembering something, she stopped and bent down to pick up the anti-riot gun on the ground.
Tian Tian Nan said.
A foot swept over and brushed past Tian Si's fingertips, sending the anti-riot gun flying several meters away.
Tian Si's heart instantly spasmed. All her complex and chaotic emotions were squeezed to the point of exploding in this moment. She suddenly stood up straight, and she did not know where the courage came from. She rushed at Luo Nan and shouted. She unconsciously lowered her voice, "You have to use a weapon to defend yourself!"
. to. to. "Guard down," said Tian. Nan. "Nan." Tian "
"For what reason?"
"I just took a course. Non-combatants can't possess weapons of mass destruction in similar situations. Otherwise, I might be the first to suffer."
Tian Si knew that she couldn't get angry, but she couldn't stand having her dignity trampled on. She raised her voice. "I've gone through military training. I won't hurt you by accident. Or are you worried that I'll shoot you in the back?"
"Yes, they will when the other party has some sort of controlling ability."
Luo Nan raised his wrist slightly after speaking. He asked through his communication wristband, "It can control ordinary people. The controlled person's movements are unhindered, and their emotions are strange. What sort of ability is this?"
Zhang Yingying responded in the first instance. She pointed directly at the owner of this ability. "It's Puppeteer! He's a member of the investigation team. He's proficient in high-level hypnosis. His ability is to control life forms with complex emotions. Aside from humans, he can also control wild beasts or Mutants with high intelligence, as long as he doesn't suffer a backlash. "
"We can now determine who's in the crystal pillar."
Zhang Yingying snorted coldly. "Stay away from that stupid woman if you want to live! You should have parted ways from the beginning …. "
Luo Nan indicated for Tian Si to keep up. He laughed. "The other party has made ample preparations. I might not be able to deal with the hostage situation. I might as well keep her by my side and be at ease."
"You're going to ignore her?"
"Who knows? Why take the risk and try? "
Zhang Yingying choked. She said resentfully, "I'm just afraid that you won't be able to protect her. You'll be threatened all the same."
"Then it's a matter of ability."
Luo Nan used his mental senses to lock onto the two threatening targets while he cautiously observed the situation all around him. At the same time, he spoke with Zhang Yingying and split some of his energy to keep an eye on Tian Si.
Multiple operations and multiple people taking care of each other. This was a bitter task for anyone. However, Luo Nan dealt with it in an orderly and logical manner. He wasn't messed up at all.
In fact, Luo Nan's mind had become much clearer after these ten days of training. He Yueyin, Bamboo Pole, Papercut, and the others had imperceptibly clarified many common sense standards for him. When he encountered a situation and needed to make a judgment, he already had a set of rules about what elements he needed to consider and what he could overlook.
Also, the cultivation of the heart lantern of the eyes orifice had allowed his reaction and coordination abilities to advance by leaps and bounds, even though he had yet to reach in-progress results. No matter what situation he faced, he would always be much calmer than before.
He even split some of his mental energy. "Leister, be a bit steady. Don't charge too fiercely."
"No problem. I'm around the 110th floor. I'll be there soon." Xue Lei's breathing was steady, but his mood was clearly a bit tense.
Luo Nan comforted him, "It's okay. I've already taken down three of them. Puppeteer's move is useless against me."
He arrived in front of the fire escape passageway as he spoke. He was just about to push the door open when he suddenly felt that something was wrong. The heart lantern of the eyes orifice flickered, and he immediately retracted his arm. He was just a hair away from stabbing his finger with the dark green beetle's pincers on the door handle.
The sharp edge of the pincers was serrated, and there was a layer of green and lustrous light. The result of stabbing him would probably not be good.
The attack missed, and the beetle, which was the size of a fist, buzzed. It spread its wings and flew into the air, smashing down to cover Luo Nan's face.
Tian Si cried out in alarm. Luo Nan's other hand grabbed the loose-leaf notebook, and he swung it like a fly swatter. The dark green beetle leaped up to avoid Luo Nan's attack, and then it pounced down. It displayed inconceivable agility.
Luo Nan saw that the force of his attack was exhausted, and he was no longer able to block it. A thin piece of paper floated out from between the pages of the notebook in Luo Nan's hand. It lay horizontally in the path of the beetle's attack. It transformed out of thin air, contracting like a spring, and then it burst open to reveal a small and exquisite figure. It flew high into the air and kicked the beetle far away.
The small and exquisite figure landed on Luo Nan's shoulder. It was actually a small paper man the size of a palm. It had all four limbs, and its face was muddle-headed. Its body was only a thin layer, but it just so happened to adopt a fist stance. It was extremely intelligent amidst its strangeness.
The chain of changes could be said to be like a falcon descending from a hare. Tian Si's cry of alarm had only just begun.
Things were far from over. Not only did the beetle that was sent flying waver a few times, but it pounced over again. Seven or eight beetles flew out from the crack in the door of the fire escape passageway. It was as if they were carved from the same mold. They buzzed with the sound of flapping wings, and they pounced over in unison. They were a dense mass of darkness, and it made one's scalp go numb.
Luo Nan's figure hastily retreated, and he even pulled Tian Si along with him.
The small paper man on his shoulder soared into the air even earlier. It was like a valiant boxing master. It faced the enemy head-on without the slightest fear. It punched and kicked, and each strike was heavy. It sent three flying in a row, stopping the momentum of the beetle's attack.
But no matter how valiant and tenacious the small paper man was, it was still outnumbered when faced with the beetle swarm. Its figure was not inferior to the beetle swarm, and it didn't possess the ability to fly. It had no choice but to borrow strength from the beetles. It was greatly restricted, and soon it was in dire straits. One of its arms was torn off, and it floated to the ground.
Fortunately, the beetles' reactions were not sharp or astute. They were confused by the small paper man's aura, and they all fell to the ground. They gathered in a circle, and because they were small targets, they hindered each other, giving the small paper man time to struggle.
Luo Nan retreated all the way, but his gaze never left the small battlefield. He asked, "Is controlling beetles a skill of Puppeteer?"
"....." Zhang Yingying didn't answer immediately.
"Hello?"
A sharp beep rang out. It was Zhang Yingying smacking down with her palm. The car horn blared. She was rushing over, but Luo Nan's words woke her up. She couldn't control herself and said angrily, "It's Black Beetle. That idiot. His heart is even smaller than a beetle's."
"Black Beetle?"
Luo Nan remembered this fellow. It seemed that Black Beetle was one of Zhang Yingying, Bamboo Pole, and the others who played the game together. During the operation to encircle the Human-Faced Arachnid at the Limestone Water Village Pub, Black Beetle had swung his hands and left because he was dissatisfied with He Yueyin's blunt and outspoken style. Later, Black Beetle vented his anger on Luo Nan because of the matter of the operation score. He directly made a phone call to threaten Luo Nan.
Luo Nan really didn't know how Zhang Yingying and the others were able to play with such a character.
Right now, Black Beetle had already made his move, and he was going against Luo Nan. His position was very clear.
Zhang Yingying went silent for a few seconds after she spoke. Her voice was a bit low. She didn't mention personal matters. She just said, "Don't treat him as a wizard. Pay attention to his close-range attacks. His speed definitely isn't fast, but his transformations are strange. His explosive power is strong, and many of his techniques are dipped in poison. "
Luo Nan's gaze cut across the mass of beetles. "That's really bad. Oh right. Is he an activation class?"
"What?" Zhang Yingying didn't react for a time.
"Soul strength activation. It's the type that Papercut excels at. Aren't they divided into the 'Control Style' and the 'Activation Style'? I think this move of his is quite similar. "
Zhang Yingying didn't understand what he meant. She could only say, "It's the activation class. But I'm telling you to be careful of his close-range attacks. That's what counters you the most."
"I know."
