Luo Nan raised his head in astonishment. He didn't quite understand.
Xue Lei continued, "The gym master needs to rest for a period of time after moving. The gym doesn't need my help for the time being. The society I'm a member of isn't that interesting. You might as well tell Brother Ping to transfer me over. Wouldn't it be better if we looked after each other? "
Luo Nan subconsciously said, "Having someone look after each other is good."
Right now, the ownership of Gear was still in the midst of a bidding war. It didn't matter if the Mystic Arts Research Society won in the end, or if the Construction Society took over. Luo Nan was alone and powerless. He had a trustworthy friend to help him … … Hold on. How was this a matter of looking out for each other?
Luo Nan understood Xue Lei's thoughts. Xue Lei was rushing to be his bodyguard. He admitted that if Xue Lei really did protect him, he would be able to make up for the weakness of his body. Coupled with his mental attacks and other methods, he would have no problem getting through tonight's situation.
However, Luo Nan was even more clear on the fact that trouble would not come in the future. If trouble really did come, then it would not be the same as today!
"It's not just the two of us. Leister, there are many other situations here. There's also your parents, my aunt's family... "
Luo Nan's voice was low. He spoke and spoke, but then his voice was cut off.
After his impassioned emotions returned, a myriad of thoughts unavoidably grew in his mind like weeds. Frankly speaking, the HQ's investigation team's tricks had truly shocked him.
Forcibly arresting, taking hostages, burning houses... This group of people had no scruples at all. They could do anything.
And this was just Headquarters. Luo Nan did not forget that Quantum Corporation, especially Yan Yongbo, had always coveted Gear, regardless of their motives.
The Order of Justice seemed to have shrunk back for now, but Headquarters was so proactive. As the parties involved, would they really act like ostriches?
There were also the various powers that Luo Nan could not clearly count. He could see from the chaos created by the Human-Faced Arachnid that there were far too many greedy people. It was hard to say when someone would jump out.
How were he and Xue Lei going to deal with them?
Fine, there was also the Xia City branch. But from today's situation, it was better to beg for help than to beg for help. Even if He Yueyin and the others did their best to rescue him, they were limited by time and space. It was impossible for them to appear in front of him in the first instance, let alone his family.
Luo Nan did not know how to express his worries to Xue Lei for a time. At this moment, Tian Si walked out of the fitting room after changing her clothes.
Now was not a good time to pick out clothes, so Tian Si just chose a nearby women's clothing brand and casually matched it.
Perhaps it was really cold after falling into the pool, she wore a woolen coat with a turtleneck and a white sweater, which covered her upper body well.
She was wearing a dark pleated dress that hung all the way down to her ankles. She was also wearing a pair of high-heeled oxford shoes that she had bought earlier. She was sweating a little in the warm shopping mall. Her long hair was still damp, and her cheeks were slightly red, as if she had just taken a shower.
Tian Si walked step by step until she was before Luo Nan. Her eyes drooped, and she spoke softly, "I've kept you waiting."
Luo Nan didn't say anything. The matter of Xue Lei transferring to the Order Club wasn't something that could be settled just by talking about it. He closed his notebook and stood up.
"Let's go."
"Mr. Luo." Zhou Hu, who had just gone out, rushed over and handed him a pair of brown glasses that had just been opened. "Your eyes … should be covered first."
Xue Lei came to a sudden realization, "Those patterns are quite horrifying. I should cover them."
No wonder He Yueyin chose Zhou Hu to be her bodyguard. He really was a very careful and thorough person. Luo Nan expressed his thanks, took the glasses, and put them on. He walked toward the elevator first, and Xue Lei and the others followed him. The devil ray spiraled silently in the crystal pillar behind them, following them down.
According to the original plan, Luo Nan would be admitted to the hospital for an examination after he returned. But Luo Nan had just spoken to Xie Junping about the matter of the devil ray, so he had to go to the party scene to see the specific situation.
Zhou Hu, who was following by his side, had no objections to this.
The group soon returned to the 88th floor. According to the schedule of the party, it was time for the warm up to end and for the party to officially begin. But by the time Luo Nan and the others arrived, the area surrounding the central crystal pillar was clearly a bit chaotic. Buzzing sounds lingered in their ears.
Luo Nan contacted Xie Junping, and Xie Junping informed him, "A skylight has been opened in the crystal pillar. Nothing like this has ever happened since the building was completed. Many events have been postponed for the sake of safety. Yao Sier lost face and is cursing right now …. Wait a moment."
Xie Junping and Hu Huaying were still conversing with Yao Feng. They were unable to get away for a while. Luo Nan swept his gaze around. It was quite a coincidence that the entrance to the elevator they took happened to be near the sofa corner where they first met Yao Feng and He Donglou.
There was no trace of the troublesome characters at this time. There were only two or three strangers sitting there chatting.
The sofa corner was quite spacious. There was no problem in resting and discussing. Luo Nan mentioned this to Xie Junping and led Xue Lei and the others over. They prepared to rest there for a while and wait for Xie Junping and the others to come over and rendezvous.
Luo Nan and the others turned left, but there was a group of people on the right. They just happened to see them come out of the elevator. Someone immediately let out a strange cry, "Heavenly thunder and earthly fire. How fierce! They even changed their clothes. What kind of scene is this?"
"There were two of them when they went, but four came back. Wow!"
"You can't judge a book by its cover …."
Ju Maoxun's expression grew uglier and uglier as he listened to his friends chatter. Most of them were pointing at Tian Si.
Their group had been frightened by Black Tooth Sunglasses Man. Their drive had been dampened, and they ran out from the 124th floor. It was quite humiliating. They recovered with great difficulty and went up again. But when they pressed the button, a white-collar worker's face was covered in blood. His head was nearly smashed flat, and he had sunk into a deep coma. This gave them yet another shock. They didn't know what had happened up there.
Then the police got involved, and the group had no choice but to return to the party venue. The party activities had gone awry. It could be said that their journey was not smooth. Just as they were feeling vexed, they suddenly saw Luo Nan and Tian Si return. They looked like they had seen a ghost.
Ju Maoxun began to grind his teeth.
His friends, who were close to him, saw that his eyes were bloodshot and that he had the appearance of a butcher. Each and every one of them shut their mouths.
It made sense when they thought about it. Their relationship had been established, and their clothes had been changed. If Ju Maoxun were to get jealous now, wouldn't that be the same as wearing an oily green hat on his head?
Ju Maoxun stared at the backs of the two people. He didn't move. It would only be more humiliating to tear them apart today. But after today, things would be different.
"Let's go!" Ju Maoxun forcefully swallowed his anger, turned around, and left. There were dozens of sharp thoughts stabbing back and forth in his mind. He was just waiting for an opportunity to vent them out.
Ju Maoxun had just turned around when Zhou Hu and Xue Lei, who had already hidden themselves in the stream of people, turned their heads to glance at him. It was a sensitive time. They obviously sensed such malicious gazes.
Zhou Hu even moved closer to Luo Nan's ear and asked, "That person …."
Luo Nan shook his head. As long as Ju Maoxun didn't immediately rush over to fight, Luo Nan didn't have the leisure to pay attention to him. They arrived at the corner of the sofa in a few steps. Luo Nan wasn't polite. He made a slight gesture and sat down first.
His back was pressed against the soft sofa, and he had something to lean on. The feeling of exhaustion was like evaporating steam. It enveloped his entire body in an instant, evaporating all his strength.
He unconsciously sighed. He was a bit tired.
"Nanster?" Xue Lei didn't sit. He bent over to look at the color of Luo Nan's face. He was a bit worried.
Luo Nan raised his eyelids and looked at Xue Lei's wrinkled face. He laughed involuntarily, "The mind comes before the energy. The energy comes before the strength. The weight of exhaustion comes after that …. It looks like I've passed today."
These were the words of advice that Xue Lei had given him when he first began to learn the cultivation technique of the eyes orifice.
Luo Nan had indeed put these words into practice when he faced the enemy today. He didn't consume too much of his strength, but the comprehension and application of order frames, gear coupling, and other concepts consumed an extreme amount of energy.
In addition, he had returned to rescue his mother's work. His impatience and surging emotions had damaged his mind. In a safe environment, the accumulated feelings of exhaustion exploded forth. He really wanted to sleep.
Xue Lei was probably the one who could understand Luo Nan's state the most. He advised, "Why don't you just sleep for a bit? The damage to your mind will damage your essence and energy. Forcefully holding on is a bottomless pit …."
"Mm. Let me clarify a few things first. Sister He should be here soon."
Luo Nan thought about the fact that there was an outsider beside him. He forced his eyelids open and turned to Tian Si. "Senior Sister Tian, I'm sorry for today. I've let you suffer a calamity. However, it's all in the past now. You should be safe for the time being. If Senior Sister, you …. "
Before Luo Nan could express his meaning clearly, an aura came from behind him. A snow-white leg strode over from the back of the sofa. It nimbly crossed over the back of the sofa, and a slender figure suddenly appeared.
She wore a very simple t-shirt paired with denim shorts. Autumn was thick, and she wore summer clothes. She was quite willful. There was only one person Luo Nan was familiar with who could dress like this: Zhang Yingying.
"What are you looking at? I rushed over from the seaside. I didn't wear a diving suit. I'm doing you justice! Of course, if you die, I'll change into a suit and collect your corpse. "
Zhang Yingying sat down next to Luo Nan. She stared at him unwaveringly, carefully sizing him up to see if he was missing any parts.
Luo Nan's eyes were nearly unable to blink. He didn't pay much attention to her. He just grunted.
If this were any other day, Zhang Yingying would have jumped up a long time ago. But today, she just snorted coldly. She extended her hand and probed Luo Nan's forehead. Her fingertips slid down, and she measured his carotid artery, heart rate, and so on.
There was nothing abnormal about this, but Luo Nan's face looked awkward no matter how she looked at it. She sized him up a few times, and she finally discovered a problem. "Why are you wearing glasses?"
She reached out to take them off as she spoke.
Luo Nan shot a glance at her and saw her face turn stiff. Her eyes seemed to be a bit lifeless.
"Is it that ugly?" Luo Nan took back his glasses and suddenly felt that something was wrong. This was because his heart lantern of the eyes orifice had subconsciously shone over a moment ago.
Zhang Yingying's Life Sketches were more or less clear to Luo Nan that night at Frost River Reality. Now that the heart lantern naturally shone, Luo Nan was able to see through everything.
