"This is the 'Photo Stealer' that you spoke of."
Yingying simply analyzed the data: "Luo Nan, 16 years old. He entered Acumen College on the 1st of September this year. His enrollment results were average. The evaluations given by his elementary and middle school teachers weren't anything special. He appeared to be very ordinary. "
Xie Junping was only concerned about one thing: "In other words, it's unlikely that he's a paparazzi or something like that?"
Yingying didn't respond directly. She continued to analyze the data: "What's worth noting is that his aunt was written as his guardian. As for his parents, I looked it up. His mother passed away due to a difficult birth. His father went missing a long time ago. Strange. Is there still such a thing as a difficult birth? "
"You mean … …"
"The environment in which he grew up is quite special. His personality might be a bit eccentric. We need to observe him further. Right now, release your vehicle privileges and turn on the surveillance system. I want to observe him at the same time. "
Xie Junping immediately did as he was told. Not long after synchronizing the data, Luo Nan's jogging figure appeared at the top of the viaduct.
The sky was only slightly bright right now. The figure in the distance was extremely blurry. Luckily, the Phantom flying car's surveillance system had undergone professional modifications. It possessed strong detection and anti-detection capabilities. Xie Junping was able to discover that he was being "Photo Stealer" because of the automatic warning from the car's AI.
Xie Junping observed each and every movement of the Photo Stealer through the surveillance system, but he wasn't able to see anything for a while.
On the other hand, Yingying already had a preliminary conclusion: "Congratulations, Sheepdog. You can basically conclude that he wasn't specifically targeting you."
"Huh?"
"Can you hear the sound of his breathing?"
Through the surveillance system's powerful sound wave collection and filtering capabilities, it was completely possible to reproduce the whispers of a target fifty meters away. The clear breathing of a morning jogger was no exception.
"Huh? That buzzing sound. Is he panting?"
"It's really like a bee, right? It should be a special breathing technique. It also has a special way of saying words. I'm not clear on the specific effects. Perhaps there's no effect at all. His lung capacity is just a bit better than a normal person. But he's extremely focused. Look at his eyes. That kind of light. Tsk tsk … … Would a Photo Stealer with bad intentions train so hard after committing a crime? "
Xie Junping's nervousness was finally relieved, and a smile appeared on his face.
But in the next moment, Luo Nan, who was descending from the highest point of the viaduct, suddenly shifted his gaze. From the image transmitted by the surveillance system, it seemed that Luo Nan's gaze locked with Luo Nan's.
With the one-way membrane shielding, of course, people outside the car couldn't see what was inside, but Xie Junping was still shocked.
"He discovered us?"
"Your illusion is too eye-catching, and he's much more sensitive than I thought."
Yingying also seemed to be interested. "He must have sensed it, but his expression didn't change. He's not someone who shows his emotions. These kinds of people usually had a lot of ideas and were more scheming. However, he was able to maintain his focus, which meant that his willpower was above average. By the way, speaking of willpower, I just made a very interesting discovery. Do you want to hear it? "
Xie Junping watched Luo Nan approach step by step. He was at a loss as to how to respond. How could he have the leisure to listen to this?
But Yingying didn't care about him.
"According to the school's information, Luo Nan's home address is in the River Wu District's Blue Bay Community. The straight-line distance from Acumen College is close to forty kilometers. Of course, it wouldn't be far if he took the low-altitude public transport or the subway. But running here would be a marathon a day! According to his lung capacity, breathing method, and muscle structure, running every time would be equivalent to peeling off a layer of skin. If he were to do this every day … … Oh my god, he's really masochistic. "
"Holy crap!" Xie Junping felt his scalp go numb just thinking about the consumption.
Yingying continued her analysis. "Judging from the above situation, he wouldn't normally be the impulsive type. He wouldn't make a hasty decision under unclear circumstances. But if you give him a bad impression or make him feel threatened, the consequences will be hard to predict … … Get out of the car now."
"Huh?"
"Don't tell me you came over just to watch him run? Come on, isn't this clearly showing that you have 'thoughts' towards him? Hurry up and get out of the car. Talk to him. Don't you always call yourself a socialite? Or does it only have the 'sheep's mouth' attribute? "
Xie Junping clearly knew that she was goading him, but there was no man who would be willing to slap his own face in front of a woman. Xie Junping took a deep breath and slapped his face. He did his best to sober up a bit from his hangover. Only then did he open the butterfly door of his illusion and step out.
This time, he really was face to face with Luo Nan.
The two were separated by approximately forty meters. Xie Junping brought out the demeanor he had during the student council election. He waved his hand at Luo Nan from afar, greeting him.
Yingying's voice seemed to ring out from the depths of his brain through the built-in headphones. "Excellent. You're acting like a dog. Pay attention. Don't put on that stinking air. Your current image is that of a shameless and degenerate, but you can still be considered a straightforward playboy. Also, you need to be a bit more honest. He's much smarter than you think. "
Xie Junping really felt like he had returned to the time of the election. He was also under the guidance of his aides step by step, managing his image in front of the voters. Luckily, Yingying's request wasn't difficult. It was practically his own performance.
He saw Luo Nan slow down in front of him. Luo Nan's eyes looked straight at him. Luo Nan's expression didn't change much, nor did he have any intention of responding. It was hard to fathom.
Xie Junping decided to take the initiative to attack. He walked a few steps forward. "Student, I'm sorry. I want to talk to you."
The distance between the two was less than ten meters. Luo Nan nodded in greeting. "Senior Xie."
Xie Junping's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He asked reflexively, "You know me!?"
Yingying's dissatisfied voice rang out. "What are you panicking for!?"
Luo Nan responded at practically the same time. "Number 24. I participated in the society recommendation counseling session hosted by Senior."
"Oh, right. There really was such a thing."
Xie Junping cursed himself for being a good-for-nothing. He rearranged his words and asked despite knowing the answer. "What's your name, Junior?"
"Luo Nan."
"Okay, Junior Luo Nan. I'm very sorry to disturb your morning run. However, there's something I need your help with. Yes, it's that embarrassing matter just now. I can't be seen too much right now … … Let's talk in the car? "
Yingying gave a light praise. "Your tone of self-mockery isn't bad."
Luo Nan thought for a bit and didn't refuse.
Luo Nan drilled into the car and sat in the front passenger seat. He placed his notebook on his knees and sat upright. He looked just like an honest student who conformed to the rules.
Xie Junping saw that Luo Nan was quite cooperative. He let out a secret sigh and sat back in the car.
He followed Yingying's instructions and didn't close the car door to avoid the psychological suggestion brought about by the enclosed space. He took out a bottle of energy drink from the mini-fridge in the back seat and handed it over. "Rehydrate yourself."
"Thank you, Senior." Luo Nan displayed a polite distance from beginning to end. He received the drink but didn't open it.
Yingying's advice came in again. "Idiot. Don't beat around the bush. These kinds of people have fast brains. They have a lot of ideas. It'll be troublesome if they make a misjudgment. You need to pay attention. You were too vague before. What embarrassing matter? Just say the time and place! "
Xie Junping hurriedly cut to the chase. "Junior Brother, forgive me for being presumptuous, but I'd like to ask, about ten minutes ago, which is around five o 'clock, were you at the Eastbound Twin Buildings' automatic conveyor belt?"
Luo Nan held the ice-cold bottle of energy in his hand and answered simply: "Yes, Senior."
"Huh? You saw me come out of the nightclub?"
"I saw you."
Xie Junping slapped his forehead and made an extremely vexed appearance. Fifty percent of this was a performance, thirty percent was venting, and twenty percent was waiting for Yingying's instructions.
Yingying didn't disappoint him. Her instructions came quickly: "He didn't deliberately pursue the initiative. You asked him a question, and he answered. It's very likely that his social skills are lacking. But his performance isn't inexperienced. He probably cares quite a bit about his personal image. These kinds of people are open to coaxing but not coercion in most situations. But don't directly talk about money. "
Xie Junping understood in an instant. He laughed bitterly on the spot: "Junior. As your senior, I've really lost face today. I have nothing to say about this sort of thing happening. But right now, we're in extraordinary times … … "
He pointed out the matter of obtaining the Honor Society's Senior Medal. Then he put his hands together and bowed a few times towards Luo Nan. He spoke in a half-exaggerated, half-sincere manner:
"I know it's not very nice to say this, but Junior, can you close one eye and let me off this time? I don't really care about my reputation or anything, but that medal is really very very important to me! "
Xie Junping's performance this time could absolutely be considered top-notch. His attitude was very low, and his face had a bit of a playboy's cheap smile. It highlighted his thick skin, and it indirectly dispelled some of the seriousness of the situation. It prevented Luo Nan from stimulating Luo Nan's greed, which would lead to even greater trouble.
Luo Nan was calm from beginning to end: "Senior, you don't need to be like this. I'm not a gossiper, and I won't talk behind people's backs."
"Uh, I can trust you, Junior. But this is the information age. Photos, videos, and the like aren't very safe … …"
"I didn't take a photo. I just felt that the scene was a bit special, so I drew a sketch at the last minute as a souvenir."
Luo Nan unfolded his notebook as he spoke, lighting up the flexible e-ink screen to show Xie Junping his work from just now.
Xie Junping felt a bit relieved when he saw the fuzzy lines and shadows.
Yingying suddenly spoke just as he was about to speak again: "Lend me the notebook."
Yingying spoke too quickly. Xie Junping practically heard the word "snatch". He immediately broke into a cold sweat.
Xie Junping was stupefied for two seconds before he thought of an excuse: "Junior, it seems inconvenient to carry this notebook around all day. Is there a special use for it?"
Xie Junping spoke the truth. Luo Nan's loose-leaf notebook was made by binding the flexible screen and traditional paper together. With the flexible screen, traditional pages didn't seem to be of much use. And if he were to use traditional pages, the flexible screen would also be a burden.
He extended his hand as he spoke, adopting a curious and probing appearance. Actually, he was a bit apprehensive in his heart. He was afraid that Luo Nan would get angry and cause side issues.
Luo Nan was quite magnanimous. He handed the loose-leaf notebook to Xie Junping: "This kind of notebook was very popular during World War III. This was because during the chaos of war or in the desolate countryside, there were no ubiquitous charging facilities. It was very easy for electronic products to turn into scrap. Traditional pen and paper were more reliable than electronic products during these times. And when logistics were plentiful, efficiency could be rapidly increased. The flexible screen could be swapped at any time. The cost wasn't high either. "
"Huh, a product from World War III … … It's been a few decades, and it's still been released?"
Luo Nan smiled. This caused the contours of his face to become even gentler: "My grandfather loved this kind of notebook the most back in the day. He once bought over a thousand of them in one go. I'm using one of them right now. And my grandfather made at least several hundred similar notebooks. Every single one of them was filled to the brim. But I can't see the majority of them right now. "
"Wow, so it's an antique." Xie Junping casually flipped through it. He saw that the majority of the notebook was still blank. Only a few pages had a few formulas, numbers, and diagrams written on them. It looked like they were casually jotted down. Xie Junping couldn't make out their origins in a short amount of time.
Xie Junping's attention was mainly on the flexible screen. The drawing software was still active right now. He swiped his finger, switching through page after page. He asked in passing:
"The flexible screen was also from fifty years ago? This drawing software looked quite unfamiliar.
"No, I … … bought it later."
Xie Junping didn't need Yingying's reminder for he could hear signs of Luo Nan changing his words at the last minute.
But soon, he was attracted by the images one by one.
In browsing mode, Xie Junping saw many images that were similar to his previous image. There were images both inside and outside the campus. In classrooms, on the streets, there were even images of some bars, nightclubs, and party scenes. These images were laid out one after another, displaying the rich images of all living beings.
Xie Junping was a bit stupefied. As a well-educated rich second generation, he still had a bit of a basic appreciation level.
Though each and every one of these sketches were rather sloppy and some didn't even have any backgrounds drawn, Xie Junping was very familiar with these places. He could always see through the curves of the human figures on the sketches to understand what place was depicted in the end, what scene, and what person … …
Uh, the last one was too exaggerated. What he meant was that he could see the intense body language of the human figures depicted by the outlines of the lines in the sketches.
Speaking a bit mysteriously, he could see concentration, excitement, dejection, and madness from the sketches … … Those rough lines depicted the atmosphere of the scene in the pictures. They depicted the emotions of the people in the pictures, and even the attitudes of each person.
Luo Nan used the digital pen to outline the lines. They clearly had a sharp feeling of tearing apart the surface of the picture. They pointed directly at a certain truth hidden deep within the human heart.
Xie Junping inexplicably sweated from seeing this: Holy crap. Did I just discover a new Picasso?
Xie Junping flipped to the last page and saw the sketch with him as the model. Xie Junping was actually a bit stupefied until Yingying's voice woke him up:
"He was clearly quite excited when he talked about the notebook and the topic of his grandfather. I just looked up some information and found some very interesting things … … Idiot. Flip a few more pages. You've been 'stupefied' for too long. Be careful not to be misunderstood. "
You're the one talking to me! Xie Junping cursed Yingying over a hundred times in his mind, but he still did as she said like a marionette.
Yingying's voice continued to transmit: "His grandfather's name was Luo Yuandao. He was once a researcher, but he didn't have any achievements worthy of praise. But in the year 83, which is 13 years ago, someone testified against him. They said that he traveled far into the wilderness after the Third World War. He cooperated with the vagrant forces and privately conducted live human experiments … … "
Holy crap!
Xie Junping's swiping finger trembled. Perhaps he was feeling guilty, but he kept feeling that Luo Nan was staring at him. But now wasn't the right time to talk. He could only brace himself and press on.
