Luo Nan's response really didn't meet Zhang Yingying's expectations. She slapped the steering wheel again. "What the hell are you playing it down for? Haven't you been attending classes all this time? You don't even understand the most basic analysis of victory and defeat. What the hell are you playing for!? What in the world did the Secretary teach you? "
"I've learned a few things. The most basic principle is to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and myself. We should play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses. We should seize the enemy's weakness and attack them to death. Also …. "
"Also?"
"Also, you need to have absolute confidence in your own advantages. You absolutely can't lose momentum."
"That bastard Crag Burst must have fed you some kind of bewitching soup!"
"Amazing!"
Luo Nan expressed his admiration very sincerely, but it angered Zhang Yingying to the point where she fell backwards. She really wanted to grab this kid by the ear and lecture him, but this really wasn't the time to talk nonsense. She could only grit her teeth, endure her temper, and speak layer by layer.
"Let me tell you. Your advantages are all long-range, and most of them are on the mental plane. Right now, Black Beetle and the others know everything about you, and their strength is far above yours. Most of your foresight abilities like mental senses have been crippled. You still have a mental attack technique, right? It looks pretty good, but if the opponent is on guard, it's not hard to specially prepare a layer of countermeasures …. They've already reached this step. Why would they be afraid of putting in more effort? "
Luo Nan listened earnestly to Zhang Yingying's analysis, but he declined to comment. In the end, he just hung his head slightly, closed his eyes, and breathed out, adjusting his state. When he opened his eyes again, he gave a simple answer.
"I'll do my best not to meet them face to face."
"You …."
"Level 125." Xue Lei took the initiative to interrupt. He also reminded the two that it was better to act than talk. If they continued to toss and turn, Black Beetle would really come charging over.
"Got it."
Luo Nan responded. From beginning to end, whether it was Xue Lei or the two dangerous targets, they were all within the range of his senses. He had a grasp of their respective rhythms of action. He even estimated the specific data.
"Puppeteer is still leading the devil ray to crash into the wall. Black Beetle just exited the elevator. The straight-line distance is fifty-five meters, and he's advancing at a uniform speed. There's no better route. Move forward! "
The first part was an instruction to Zhang Yingying, and the last three words were an order to Tian Si, indicating that this senior sister should rush into the fire escape, and he even gave her a push.
"But, insects …" Facing more than ten ugly beetles piled up together, Tian Si's hair stood on end. She was already very strong-willed to keep her legs from weakening.
"Easier to deal with than humans."
Though Luo Nan said this, he still shook his notebook. The pages split apart and another small paper man jumped out. It wandered around the outside of the beetle pile, helping its "companion" to disperse the pressure and making the fight even more lively.
Tian Si was unable to smile at all when she saw this mini and even comical battle scene. Ever since the start of the crazy security guard, Luo Nan had always been a bewitching core that clutched at her heart. Luo Nan would occasionally glance at her, but it made her heart beat faster … … Most of this was due to the effects of fear.
But she also remembered what Luo Nantong had said during the call. Under such circumstances, this young man, who was six or seven years younger than her, did not need to hide anything. All his worries and considerations were open and frank. Because of this, the flavor of leniency that came after calm contemplation clearly appeared.
Luo Nan didn't wish for her to become a hostage. It wasn't that there was any friendship between the two. It was just that it would bring trouble. But how could a truly emotionless person consider this?
Tian Si thought of 'that person'. She had already contacted him countless times after the incident, but he didn't pick up. He completely ignored her. Comparing the two, the callous and deep core behind his exquisite brows could be seen even more clearly.
Tian Si found it strange that she was still able to think of these things in this critical situation. Perhaps this was the nature of women?
Tian Si laughed self-deprecatingly after a few waves of thoughts churned in her mind. A bit of calmness reappeared from her dazed and chaotic state. She no longer hesitated and doubted pointlessly. She held her breath and carefully walked toward the fire escape ahead of her.
The two small paper men gathered the beetles into a ball, clearing the path to the fire escape. Luo Nan and Tian Si took a few steps forward. There was a bit of commotion as they passed the beetle swarm.
Tian Si instinctively shuddered, but Luo Nan promptly reminded her, "Don't worry about it!"
Tian Si looked at the wooden door of the fire escape, which was only two steps away. She simply closed her eyes and extended her arm forward. She increased the speed of her feet instead of slowing down. Her palm made contact with the door in the span of a breath. The beetles she had been worried about did not turn around to chase after her. There weren't even one or two extra beetles in the dusky stairwell.
Behind her, Luo Nan pushed open the wooden door of the stairwell, but he didn't enter. He just said to Tian Si, "Keep walking down. Don't worry about the elevator."
"Aren't we going together?" Tian Si didn't receive a response from Luo Nan at all. The fifteen or sixteen year old youth in front of her had long since turned his face to stare at the situation on the viewing platform. His body leaned against the half-open door, his back slightly bent. He could react at any time.
Tian Si was a bit hesitant, but before she could speak, a muffled explosion that shook the heart came from the viewing platform. The muffled sound wave was mixed with cries of alarm and screams.
A powerful pillar of water sprayed out from the center of Heavenly Ocean Lake. It rushed all the way to the dome above, sweeping away the gorgeous decorations hanging from it.
What was even more shocking was the enormous shadow within the pillar of water. It seemed to make a flip while sticking to the dome before falling down heavily. The pool water violently surged out, washing away many of the surrounding furnishings. The tourists who had surrounded the pool to watch the show, driven by curiosity, were swaying left and right. Some even slid into the water, screaming over and over.
The viewing platform was a complete mess.
"You're quite strong …. Why aren't you leaving yet?"
The situation before her eyes, as well as Luo Nan's reminder, made the stupefied Tian Si finally understand the meaningless role she played in this storm. She gritted her teeth, turned around, and rushed down the stairs. Her heels clattered against the ground, and soon, she disappeared without a trace.
Puppeteer's methods had caused the viewing platform to be in a state of chaos. Even the beetles in front of the fire escape were in an uproar.
It was as if their intelligence had jumped two levels in an instant. Most of the beetles flew up, and most of the paper men, who were unable to levitate, were useless.
The highly intelligent beetles broke away from the stupid situation and took advantage of the situation to confirm their target. A dozen or so pairs of compound eyes locked onto Luo Nan, who stood at the entrance to the fire escape. They made slight adjustments, and they swarmed over with a buzzing sound. The dense black mass had the style of a horror movie.
Luo Nan didn't react in the first instance. His gaze didn't even fall on the bodies of the numerous beetles. Instead, it pierced through the middle and fell on a certain person on the viewing platform.
The viewing platform was in a state of chaos due to the magnificent power of the devil ray. A crowd of tourists clutched their heads, and some fled. There were a few unlucky people who were still struggling in the water.
Only the person Luo Nan's gaze was pointing at was dressed in black clothes with the demeanor of an investigator. He wore a gaudy necktie, and he had one hand in his pocket. He walked over unhurriedly. He was on a completely different line from the others.
Though his pace was calm, his speed was actually extremely fast. It was as if he possessed the Length Contraction Technique. This manifested his outstanding body control and coordination. This was the Black Beetle.
Right now, the distance between the two didn't exceed forty meters. A well-trained ability user could easily discern the target at this distance.
Black Beetle rushed at Luo Nan and laughed. Five colored stripes were engraved on his black teeth, sending a treacherous and sinister power through the air.
The speed of the pouncing beetle swarm actually increased by several times.
Luo Nan's eyes were half closed. The impending dangerous situation seemed to be covered by a layer of mist. It was not all that clear. But the heart lantern flickered within his brain, reflecting the flying and crawling trajectories of every beetle, and it made predictions.
The trajectories crisscrossed and extended, and a layer of incorporeal spider web was laid out.
Luo Nan resided in the center of the spider web. The movements of any beetle would be reflected in his mind, and the beetle would crawl on the spider web.
The beetle would slow down when it collided with the spider web.
It wasn't that the speed of the beetle itself was reduced. Instead, Luo Nan's judgment and consciousness, which was brimming with foresight, caused the level of movement of the beetle to drop by a level.
This was a newly learned skill. It was an application of the heart lantern of the eyes orifice.
At the same time, the mental senses that had fused with his instincts displayed their effects.
It was just as Luo Nan had deduced. These fluttering beetles were no different from the small paper men on the ground in a practical sense. They were just mediums for the activation of soul strength. They were carriers of the operational structure of core energy and information.
Luo Nan's mental senses illuminated the special configurations of the bodies of each beetle, and they were all reflected one by one. Even though there was a certain difference from the prismatic structure that he had come into contact with the most, Papercut's course had touched upon several basic transformation modes.
Therefore, the changes in the core structure of the beetles, including their corresponding rhythms, entered the scope of Luo Nan's clairvoyance. Not a single strand of it was reflected into his mind.
Just like that, his mental senses and the illumination of the heart lantern fused together. The spider web, which originally only involved the movement of objects, suddenly merged with many more layers. It was densely packed, layer upon layer of obstacles.
The flying and pouncing beetles immediately slowed down by a level.
In the domain of reaction, a beat slower was the difference of an entire world.
All sorts of changes were synchronized with the control center of Luo Nan's body. Luo Nan responded according to the level of danger. What Luo Nan did was to step sideways to make way for the entrance to the fire escape passageway. He added more force to the automatic rebounding wooden door.
This was a simple set of actions, but the most rare thing about them was that they were clearly layered. They weren't messed up at all, and they gave off a feeling of calm and unruffled. This was the full embodiment of body coordination.
Half of the effects of cultivating the heart lantern of the eyes orifice over the past ten days came from this.
The door closed heavily. Through the glass of the door, Luo Nan could see the beetles unable to dodge in time. They collided head-first into the door, and the crackling sounds of impact were quite crisp.
Of course, this wasn't enough.
These beetles weren't made of steel, so a normal impact wouldn't be able to injure them. Luo Nan didn't hope that this attack would succeed. He just used the door to block, and then he ran down the stairs.
His eyes remained half-closed as he ran, and an incorporeal spider web revolved around him in the void.
Above his head, on the familiar mental plane, a vicious and ugly shadow responded to his summons. It appeared by his side, occupying the center of the spider web. Its six eyes circulated with brilliance as it absorbed information from all directions. It was none other than the executor who had gotten rid of the three crazy security guards.
The Human-Faced Arachnid.
