Hearing Luo Nan use the theory of gears and order frames to explain Ouyang Chen's great work, the group of people in the corner of the sofa blinked, furrowed their brows, and scratched their heads. Their expressions were all different, but they couldn't avoid making eye contact. The atmosphere became even more bizarre.
Zhang Yingying relied on the flash of inspiration just now to barely keep up with Luo Nan's train of thought. She casually tugged at a strand of hair and asked, "According to what you're saying, President Ouyang is using the heaven and earth... yes, the spatial structure as an exoskeleton to control?"
"The explanation of Formatting Theory is that the Self-Format distorts the Heaven and Earth Format. Perhaps the Heaven and Earth Format can also be explained as the coupling relationship of several relatively independent gear sets. President Ouyang has changed their originally distant space-time distribution... "
Luo Nan suddenly froze when he spoke to this point. Several seconds passed before he spoke in a low voice, "It's the space-time distribution. Through this method, the lag brought about by the space-time distribution can be reduced."
Here we go again!
Zhang Yingying rubbed her forehead with her hand and sighed silently. Luo Nan's state of talking to himself was very satisfying to disgust his enemies, but it was far too heartless to use it on his own people.
Fortunately, this state did not persist for too long. Luo Nan raised his head and twisted his face to look her straight in the eye. His brows even furrowed. "That Mind Controller. Is he the same as a psychic? As long as you set your mind to someone, there will be no end to the trouble?"
Papercut spat out with a pfft.
Zhang Yingying's mind spun. Oh, it really is like this.
In a thousandth of an instant, she really did feel a little apologetic. Then she chuckled as she extended her elbow and placed it on Luo Nan's shoulder. Half of her body moved closer to him, and she adopted the attitude of a brother. "Don't make random associations. Speaking of which, the space-time distribution of gear sets is a very interesting way of saying it. Hey, isn't this the information that the people from Headquarters want to know? Is it really okay for you to say it like this? "
"I'm not saying it because some people have terrible attitudes." Luo Nan didn't believe that the Logic World was some sort of secret. Perhaps An Weng's actions could barely be considered a secret, but He Yueyin had never warned him about this matter. The people from Headquarters simply didn't have the patience to ask.
Zhang Yingying pursed her lips. "You make it sound so easy. I asked the boss about An Weng's matter, but she didn't explain it in detail."
"That might be because she doesn't understand Formatting Theory."
Luo Nan knew that the 'boss' Zhang Yingying spoke of was the illustrious and famous Her Majesty Empress Wu. But out of a subtle thought, he still made a joke. "From what I can see, the facts are quite clear. It was President Ouyang's actions that gave An Weng convenience. He took the opportunity to lock onto a place that was originally very far away. He took a shortcut and jumped over."
No one could truly understand his Formatting Theory and Coupling Theory, but his descriptions were logical and clear. Zhang Yingying and the others could imagine what would happen.
Luo Nan didn't want to be labelled as a Mind Controller in his muddleheadedness. He had no concept of this title at all, so he asked, "What's the occupation of a Mind Controller?"
"It can be considered as an advanced level of hypnotist. They specialize in manipulating people's minds and are highly sought after in the various Orders. The weaker ones can be in charge of preaching and preaching, the stronger ones can become the core priests, and there are a few who can directly become the leader of the Order … By the way, we haven't had this lesson yet? "
The one who spoke wasn't in the circle of sofas. Instead, it was Bamboo Pole, who had just walked into the corner of the sofa. He was an expert in the study of Secret Orders. He had given Luo Nan the Shorthand of the Important People of the World course. The strong ones of the various major Orders were a very important component.
Luo Nan shook his head. He had no impression of them.
He saw He Yueyin at this time. She was by Bamboo Pole's side, but he felt that she was a bit quiet and low-key.
Luo Nan's four limbs were weak right now. His body's reactions were slow by half a beat. He could only wave his hand at the two who had arrived as a greeting. Xue Lei, who was by his side, instinctively stood up to give his seat. He was worried that He Yueyin and the others would be polite, so he simply jumped over the back of the sofa and went to the back.
Since this was the case, He Yueyin thanked Xue Lei and passed through the aisle of the sofa. She and Zhang Yingying just happened to sit on Luo Nan's left and right.
The sofa was soft, and the three sat very close to each other. It was quite crowded.
As for Bamboo Pole, he didn't join in the fun. He simply walked over to the bar in the corner of the sofa and occupied one of the only two seats. He asked for a martini and beamed as he watched the group of people rub against each other on the circular sofa.
Papercut was a bit regretful when he saw this. He also wanted to have a drink or two. He got up and said in a loud voice, "Give me a rum and coke …."
Bamboo Pole shook his head, "Save a seat. Crag Burst will be here in a bit. With his size, he shouldn't be tormenting you guys."
Then he waved his hand at Xue Lei, who was behind the sofa, "Leister, how about a cup?"
"It's not even a bit yet." Xue Lei wasn't at the age to drink alcohol, and public places were the strictest. He could only politely decline this sort of pastime.
Xue Lei walked behind Xie Junping and Hu Huaying as he spoke.
The topic of discussion and the strange atmosphere had stupefied the two rich kids. They instinctively let out a breath of relief when they saw Xue Lei come over. Xie Junping asked in a low voice, "These are all …."
Xue Lei didn't know how to respond for a time.
Papercut, who was sitting next to them, put on a smiling face, "We're of the same profession in the Society. Yes, we're just like your Mystic Arts Research Society. Our fields are pretty much the same."
Xie Junping went "Ah ah" twice. It was unknown what he was thinking, but his expression was strange.
On the other side, He Yueyin spoke in a low voice after sitting down for a few seconds, "I'm sorry, Mr. Luo. This situation has occurred because of my negligence in my work …."
Luo Nan didn't say anything. He wasn't angry at He Yueyin, but it was absolutely impossible for him to say "It's okay" at this time.
In the end, he still minded. How could he not mind?
After experiencing Headquarters' shameless methods, Luo Nan's mind was filled with the question of how he should respond when the next wave of enemies arrived.
It wasn't just him alone. There was also his aunt and uncle, his relatives and friends living in Xia City, and even Gear, who couldn't be moved …. All sorts of fetters had to be taken care of. No matter how one looked at it, it was an impossible task.
Before the train of thought was clear, a person's thoughts would naturally trace back to the past. All sorts of "if …. maybe ….", "if …. Then ….", and so on, along with the corresponding emotions of complaint, regret, and so on.
Luo Nan didn't have the mental strength to imagine things that didn't happen, but those fuzzy emotions still existed more or less. Following He Yueyin's straightforward apology, they were like bad wine that hadn't finished fermenting. They broke through the walls of the barrel and splashed out.
He didn't have the leisure to ponder over his words. He spoke bluntly, "I need a solution. Me. My family. My mother's blood and sweat …. That group of scum. They can do anything!"
He had said these words to Xue Lei. He had said them to himself. Now, he was saying them to He Yueyin. In the beginning, he was speaking rationally. Now, he was venting his emotions.
He Yueyin responded in a deep voice, "President Ouyang has already sealed off Headquarters' maintenance authority on the Psychic Wave Network. Gong Qi and his group will leave Xia City tomorrow morning …."
Luo Nan wanted to continue listening, but the words were cut off. He turned his head to stare at her. "And then?"
"The branch is currently researching the relevant security plan. I'm fully responsible for the specific matters. Over."
The sofa corner immediately sank into an absurd silence.
Luo Nan was stunned. He only spoke after a while, "That's it? What about the specific actions? Staffing? Are there any guarantees? This sort of thing …. "
Papercut saw that the situation was far from good. He instinctively acted as a peacemaker. "Nanster, it's not that the Secretary isn't doing her best. It's just that the unrestricted warfare of ability users against ordinary people is a worldwide problem. The types are ever-changing. It's impossible to prepare a contingency plan. The Secretary says that she's fully responsible. She'll certainly shoulder it. Everyone will do their utmost, right? "
Papercut's intentions were good, but Luo Nan's heart sank the more he listened. He absolutely didn't doubt He Yueyin's sense of responsibility, but this feeling of not necessarily being effective even if they tried their best seemed to be heading toward the worst possible outcome!
Luo Nan understood clearly that if he were to have the thought to kill any ordinary person in Xia City right now, he would probably need Ouyang Chen and Her Majesty Empress Wu, who he could not understand, to protect him from the side. Only then would he be able to defend himself.
Aside from this, any conventional security measures would be meaningless. It would be useless even if He Yueyin mobilized the army to surround the target so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through.
There were perhaps very few ability users who possessed methods like his, but there was no lack of powerhouses at the same level or higher. There was even the Order of Justice and Quantum Corporation. Powerhouses from various places would converge. Wouldn't the corresponding methods be ever-changing?
All right, how did he end up standing on the opposite side of these powers?
Luo Nan only had a vague answer in his mind. He wasn't willing to hastily come to a conclusion. He just took a deep breath, leaned his upper body forward, and rested his elbows on his knees for support. He hung his head in contemplation.
No one followed up after Papercut's terrible consolation. There was another long period of silence, so long that it was suffocating.
Speaking of which, there were no misunderstandings between them. But because of the enormous difference in the pressure they bore, they lost the foundation for deep communication, making it hard for this topic to continue.
But there were some things that could not be avoided. Luo Nan was a member of the Society, but the Society was unable to give him help and protection. The upper echelons of the Society even persecuted him. The difference between the branch and Headquarters, or a promise or two, was not enough to fill this absurd crack.
As for He Yueyin, she didn't want to say much.
Ever since she arrived at the Society, she had always been in charge of confidential work. She tried to change the situation of the Society leaking information everywhere. But strictly speaking, the leak of Luo Nan's information and Headquarters' actions were all her responsibility. It was also her greatest setback after retiring from the military.
She had to reflect.
And so the two sat shoulder to shoulder. One was ramrod straight, and the other was stooped. They both sat quietly. The others looked at each other in dismay, finding it harder and harder to open their mouths.
"Oh, it's only been a while, but it's getting lively."
A sudden external force shattered the wall of silence in the sofa corner. A rather eye-catching group of people entered this dusky corner along with the sound.
He Donglou wore a well-ironed military uniform, yet he was hugging two beauties on his left and right. He brought along two beautiful women who were just flower vases as he walked over. Behind him followed an old driver who had maintained his silence all this time. He should be a bodyguard or something. As for the other martial artist, Feng Jiajun, and his female companion, they were nowhere to be seen.
He Donglou played around the venue for a bit. He quite liked the atmosphere in the sofa corner. It was just right for him to play a few games with the flower vases. But when he came back, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the dense mass of people.
This place could indeed fit a few more people, but it seemed like it was no longer suitable to play games.
"Tsk. What a disappointment."
In order to create an atmosphere, there were practically no lighting facilities in the sofa corner. The watery blue light pouring over from the crystal pillar in the center was the brightest source of light.
The first person He Donglou recognized was Xue Lei who was behind the sofa. That size very appropriately stimulated his memories. He remembered that this big guy had nearly gotten into a conflict with his follower just now.
He recognized Xue Lei, and his gaze shot down. He also saw Xie Junping and Hu Huaying along the way.
They all knew each other!
He Donglou grinned and used his chin to point in the distance. "You guys also know the benefits of this place? Come come come. Make some space. This party is really boring. It's just that the quality of the girls is okay. "
His words caused the two flower vases to pout coquettishly and laugh. On the side of the ring-shaped sofa, Xie Junping and Hu Huaying glanced at each other and stood up at the same time. Xie Junping called out, "Young Master He, we just so happened to meet. This place is too crowded. Let's go somewhere else …"
"It's here. What's a little crowded? At this time, we should squeeze a little." How could He Donglou be easily persuaded by others? Moreover, at this time, he saw Tian Si sitting upright with her eyes drooped at the entrance of the ring-shaped hair ring. Her dignified and elegant bearing was precisely the kind he admired the most.
It just so happened that this side was relatively empty.
He Donglou didn't care about the capacity of the ring-shaped sofa that was almost full. He hugged the two flower vases and walked inside. Naturally, he walked to Tian Si's side.
He Donglou could be carefree, but the 'old driver' behind him had to fulfill his duty. As he spoke, the latter had already keenly sensed that something was wrong. Sweeping his gaze, he also saw a familiar person first.
Zhou Hu.
The 'old driver' opened his mouth, wanting to speak. At this time, a cold and clear gaze shot over from the other side. The instant he made contact with the gaze, he immediately stood at attention and shut his mouth.
Although He Donglou wasn't considered a proper hoodlum, he already had thoughts of hunting. As he passed through the inner aisle of the sofa, he deliberately rubbed against Tian Si's legs, which were wrapped in her long skirt. He revealed a smiling face and said, "Excuse me, beautiful."
Tian Si knew from Xie Junping and Hu Huaying's reactions that this' Young Master He 'had an extraordinary status. She faintly furrowed her brows, but she didn't raise her head. She just shrunk back a bit.
He Donglou chuckled as he sat down. He was just about to strike up a conversation when he heard a low chuckle from the side. The sound was extremely pleasant, like the cry of a lark on a branch. It made one's heart itch to hear it.
He Donglou followed the sound and raised his head. He saw a youthful and bright young woman. She laughed in an unbridled and willful manner, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. She didn't conceal them at all, practically lighting up the dusky corner.
Oh my, this is good!
He Donglou was at the age where he loved to play. He liked this kind of magnanimous playmaster the most. He immediately changed his target. His gaze swept over the other person's body, and he called out with a laugh, "Beautiful lady, you're dressed as … …"
"A female student being kept as a mistress." Zhang Yingying had been stifled by the previous round of silence. It was hard for her to speak even if she wanted to. Naturally, she was incomparably cooperative when she saw that there was something fun to be had. She beamed as she hugged Luo Nan's arm and shook it. "This is our boss."
"......"
