It had only been a few hours, and he had been skinned?
Luo Nan grinned and looked at Peony's report in detail. The report simply indicated that Snake Seven had once appeared in the Society's operation to rescue Rui Wen. Of course, he was on the opposing side of the Society.
Luo Nan didn't have a deep impression of this person. After all, seven or eight Deep Blue Walkers had gathered that night, and there were many casualties. Only the heavens knew who was who. The only memory he had was a review report after the operation. There was this code name on it, representing that this person was deeply involved in the conflict. That was all.
Right now, Luo Nan didn't have emotions like "so it was him". His attention was a bit distracted.
Thinking deeper, there was no reason for this Snake Seven or Dragon Seven to not use similar methods when they returned. The focus of their analysis was certainly Peony, but as an eye-catching symbol, Ink, the giant crow, would most likely be used as a starting point.
Could it be concealed?
Ink was quite high profile that night, especially in the first half of the night. There were more than one or two eyewitnesses in the underground fighting arena.
As Luo Nan furrowed his brows in thought, a refresh symbol appeared in the cloud space document. With a light tap, the entire document was updated. The amount of text instantly increased by quite a bit.
Upon closer inspection, there was even more detailed information regarding Snake Seven listed out in the document.
So Luo Nan knew that Snake Seven was a very talented ability user, but he was determined to become a Deep Blue Walker. He joined Quantum Corporation of his own accord and became a special model tester at a young age. Later, he strongly requested to join the operation team and transferred to the Sky Blue Security Company.
As for what his personality was like, how he handled things, and how his family relations were, they were all covered in the document. Luo Nan originally thought that this character was quite mysterious, but in the blink of an eye, he was exposed to the light of day. There was practically nowhere he could hide.
Strands of cold air seeped through Luo Nan's teeth. His heart felt cold.
He withdrew from the cloud space, his mind a bit chaotic. But one thing was very clear. With his current fame, special position, and use, every intelligence agency would absolutely not let him go.
One small clue would reveal the general trend. From the perspective of Snake Seven's fate, perhaps every intelligence agency had a document regarding him on their desks right now. They were constantly updated. Each and every one of his actions would be like Snake Seven's. He would be completely exposed to the eyes of others. There would be no more secrets to speak of.
Luo Nan stood at the bottom of the atrium in a daze. A few dozen seconds later, his wristband vibrated. Xue Lei called. "I'm training in the open space in front of Gear. Just give me a shout when you get home."
"Oh." Luo Nan responded subconsciously. Then he came back to his senses and expressed his refusal, "It's already dinner time. You can go back. You don't need to wait for me."
School had already ended. The reason Xue Lei said this was because he understood Luo Nan's pace of life. Luo Nan's training time was around this time every day. He needed to attend classes and study, so he made up his mind to stick to it.
"It's so boring to go home alone. It's better to go together."
Luo Nan spat, "Then we'll separate at the school gate?"
Right now Luo Nan was living at his Aunt's house, while Xue Lei was in the Twin River District. One went east, and the other went west. It would be strange if they went the same way. At the end of the day, Xue Lei was still focused on being a bodyguard, afraid that shameless people like the headquarters would appear again.
Xue Lei also felt that it was quite ridiculous, so he asked, "Speaking of which, when are you going to be independent? You don't have to go to the hospital for treatment now …"
"Auntie isn't afraid that I'll go for treatment. She's afraid that I'll suddenly go in for treatment again." Luo Nan knew that his health credit had gone bankrupt, and he was unable to explain the concept of the coupling of soul and flesh to Mrs. Luo Shuqing. He could only place his hopes on someone else. "My cousin will be back next week. I'll give it another try with her attracting the firepower."
The two chatted a bit more, and Xue Lei went to practice boxing.
Luo Nan was actually quite envious of Xue Lei's current state. This week, with Xie Junping's help, Xue Lei had already changed his relationship with the society. Xue Lei had no worries in the future. Aside from being Luo Nan's bodyguard every day, Xue Lei had a large amount of time to spend on martial cultivation.
Compared to his close friend, Luo Nan's mood fluctuated quite a bit. Especially now, he was stimulated by the intelligence file. His heart was quite restless, and he didn't have the mind to think about practical matters. He paced a few steps under the atrium before raising his head.
In a daze, the perfectly straight atrium and the ring-shaped night sky were like a prison, sealing him inside.
No, that's not right! How could there be a prison in his mother's work?
Luo Nan's thoughts changed when he thought of his mother. He looked at the atrium again. The structure was one and the same. It went from the bottom to the top, as if it led to the depths of the starry sky. It was limitless.
When all was said and done, those thoughts just now were born from fear in his heart, drawing a prison.
Luo Nan shook his head and scattered the illusions. He looked at the time. There were still a few minutes until the appointed time. He sat down cross-legged and recalled the breathing technique personally taught to him by Gym Master Xiu. He tried to calm his mind.
Several breaths later, the tides of his mind did indeed calm down a bit. He even closed his eyes and began to move his mind. The energy within his body was polished, and the heart lantern of the eyes orifice burned with brilliance. Gradually, the distracting thoughts in his mind were burned to nothing.
According to coupling theory, there were two relatively complete gears in the structure of Luo Nan's body and soul.
One was soul strength, born from Formatting Theory. It had long since surpassed the limits of what the fleshly body could endure. Its power was great and difficult to control. Luo Nan relied on the Hollow Depository function of the external neuron to form a stable structure. Even so, it overflowed outwards at every moment. It was like an iceberg towering above the vast ocean. It was vast and majestic, and the pressure it exerted was extreme.
Luo Nan gave it a name. It was called the God Gear.
The other was the structure of the eyes orifice. Xiu Shenyu imparted a technique that relied on the natural wonders of the human body. It also happened to borrow Luo Nan's special circumstances to construct a brand new medium for transferring and refining soul strength. It formed the heart lantern of the eyes orifice and stimulated the potential of the human body.
Luo Nan called it the Body Gear.
According to Gym Master Xiu's words, the cultivation of the eyes orifice was only a beginning in the cultivation of the fleshly body. Compared to the towering iceberg and vast ocean of the God Gear, the eyes orifice could only be described as a small reservoir. It played an auxiliary role.
The God Gear and the Body Gear built an embryonic order frame within Luo Nan's body. They meshed with each other through the method of coupling, influencing each other.
Though the frame was formed, it was still simple and crude. It relied more on external objects. Without the suppression of the external neuron, it was guaranteed that Luo Nan would be instantly faced with a calamity.
Even with the external neuron suppressing him, electricity and fire flowed between the God Gear and the Body Gear. Their energies clashed, and several thunderclouds and storms swept through every day. It was hard for outsiders to understand the suffering within.
It was precisely these dangers hidden deep within Luo Nan's body that left no leeway for trial and error. There were no sentiments to speak of. They forced Luo Nan to use the most focused attitude to cultivate, to carefully cultivate his foundation, to fix the fragile balance bit by bit.
As long as he began to cultivate, all trivial and distracting thoughts would be annihilated into a puff of smoke. It was quite worthwhile to use them to dispel negative emotions.
Luo Nan no longer had the concept of time once he entered the meditative state. Fortunately, Luo Nan remembered that he still had training classes to attend. He only did a bit of maintenance on the structure of the eyes orifice. He dissolved the overly powerful interference power of electricity and fire, and then he finished his homework.
His senses were exceptionally sharp when he entered the meditative state. His mind was tranquil, and all the surrounding information entered his mind. He felt a marvelous sound seep into his ears. It was like the fine ticking of the minute and second hands of a clock. It rotated in circles, without beginning and without end.
Luo Nan was not surprised at all. From his perspective, this was the breathing of Gear.
The building had twelve floors above and below the ground. Especially on the ground, including the atrium, there were fifteen main halls. It was like a well-adjusted machine. Every part worked smoothly, and the teeth meshed together. Only then could there be such a harmonious rhythm.
From Luo Nan's perspective, this was the sound of nature. It was the reward for his earnest cultivation. He subconsciously wore a smile on his face as he listened to this clear and orderly rhythm.
However, just a few seconds later, there was a noise that made a sizzling sound. At first, it was just a single noise that suddenly affected the beat. But a few seconds later, the noise arose one after another. It was like the sudden insertion of dry and hoarse croaks during a band's performance. The noise rose and fell at random, turning a perfectly good performance into a nightmare.
Luo Nan suddenly opened his eyes. The sound of nature was no longer there, but the noise still existed.
It was layer upon layer of crisscrossing radio waves. The source came from every corner of the building. Cameras, bugs, optical cables, antennas …. There were all sorts of forms. They gathered all sorts of information and transmitted it out. They were like pairs of cold and gloomy eyes, spying on Luo Nan's every move from every angle.
It was like he was in a prison.
Luo Nan raised his head. The darkness could not obstruct the strengthened vision of the heart lantern of the eyes orifice. Separated by the integrated glass, a certain burglar camera on the third floor of the basement was pointed at him. It was done openly.
There was more than one monitoring device working in the surroundings.
Luo Nan pursed his lips. He wanted to get angry, but he inexplicably felt that this was absurd and ridiculous. The corner of his lips unconsciously curled up. He was just worried that Long Seven's misfortune would fall on his head. He never thought that his thoughts would become a prophecy.
"Hey, hehe!"
What should come would come. Luo Nan squeezed out a dry voice from his mouth. The negative emotions that he had just dispelled were like a storm that suddenly descended. Rolling thunderclouds crackled as they assaulted his mind.
Bang! The burglar camera on the third floor of the basement exploded into pieces. Similar shattering sounds rang out from every corner of the building at practically the same time. Of course, there was also the muffled sound of tripping brakes.
Direct methods brought about crude consequences.
The sparse lighting within the building of Gear was instantly extinguished. Then the central control system operated spontaneously, activating the backup circuitry. But unfortunately, it failed.
The listening devices were so concentrated that even the backup system was hard pressed to escape.
Luo Nan stood within the darkness, coldly feeling everything.
But then Xue Lei's phone call came in the next moment. He was so nervous that his voice changed: "Report your location. Mentally connect!"
"I'm fine."
Luo Nan didn't know how to explain things to Xue Lei. His wristband vibrated once more, and the central control system activated manual operation mode. It asked him if he wanted to use the maintenance robots to carry out emergency repairs.
Luo Nan agreed in passing and found a reason: "The quality of those people's work is abysmal …. Yeah, that's it."
And at this time, the HexaEar vibrated. On the Psychic Wave Network, Bamboo Pole followed the teaching plan and went online on time to greet Luo Nan. This was the usual procedure, but today's message was a bit odd:
