It was common knowledge that Extraordinaries had yet to appear within the Burner community. But by controlling the special Deep Blue Platform and mounting weapons, they could achieve extremely high destructive power. Any Extraordinaries would have to kneel if they were equipped with a nuclear warhead with a yield of ten million tons.
Luo Nan knew this, but he didn't think about it. He was reminded by Papercut and suddenly had a new train of thought. "B + rank Burners. I remember Sister Yueyin saying that they all hold the rank of general?"
"Yeah. There are some people with real power who control quite a bit of the special forces of the field army. For example, the coastal defense force closest to Xia City, where Secretary He's father worked and where Crag Burst was a part of, has a special combat brigade. The commander of that brigade is a high-ranking major general called Tian Bang. He's a pretty awesome character.
"Tian Bang?"
"Yeah. He has the same surname as that senior of yours, but he shouldn't be related. He's an orphan. He participated in the Deep Blue Platform project since he was young and underwent deep remodeling. Of course, this is internal information. It only circulates in the inner world. "
Luo Nan nodded. "I understand."
If an orphan or a young child participated in the remodeling of Burners, it would be hard for people not to suspect the lower limits of the government and the military. This was undoubtedly something that those in power did their utmost to avoid.
"Is this person Tian Bang? The coastal defense base isn't that far from Xia City. "
"It's hard to say. I haven't seen him yet. I just heard that he floats on the sea all year round, taking turns to fight with the Marine Mutants. He's an extremely powerful combat type. Tsk, this is troublesome. "
Papercut's brows furrowed tightly as he spoke. "The branch's intelligence department didn't react to such a powerful person entering Xia City! It doesn't seem like he came in fair and square. "
"Really?" Luo Nan was quite calm. It didn't matter if it was Tian Bang or not. He definitely didn't have any ill intentions.
"Let's contact Secretary. It's best if we ask her father if he knows anything. If it really is Tian Bang, then this is quite a taboo. "
Luo Nan tried to contact He Yueyin, then he shrugged. He still couldn't contact He Yueyin. He could only leave a message explaining the latest situation and his judgment.
Right now, Xie Junping was still talking over the phone about Pan Ju Ling's background. Ju Maoxun was still stomping his feet, his emotions stirred. It was as if he was the one being bullied.
Only Mo Peng and Luo Biyao were able to exchange a few curses with him. Most people could only watch coldly from the sidelines. Only Qiu Peipei's family had the qualifications to sue or to settle. Luo Nan and the others could only act as parties and witnesses, providing testimony.
Going back and forth like this, he felt more and more bored. Papercut was really worried that Luo Nan wouldn't be able to take it and cause more trouble. He pulled Luo Nan to the corner of the sofa, talking as they walked.
"This is why many people don't like the secular world. When it came down to it, there were a bunch of rules. The more people he knew, the more restrictions there were. Look at Lei Zi, that punch was really cool, but it's going to take a long time. He might even have to go to court. "
Luo Nan sat down on the sofa. This time, Luo Nan paid more attention to Cat Eyes. Papercut was between him and Cat Eyes. "Brother Papercut, how do you usually handle things?"
"Me? In the middle of the night, he sent a bunch of paper dolls to his house for a party. Yeah, that's about it. "
Luo Nan felt that Luo Nan's expression was certainly very peculiar right now.
Papercut chuckled, "With supernatural powers, how could I still strictly follow the logic of the secular world? Unless this world has enough power to counter us … "
On the sofa, Cat Eyes gently swirled her wine glass and cast a sidelong glance. "You're sick!"
Papercut didn't get angry. "I'm just saying, right? Also, put yourself in the shoes of others. If you use abnormal logic to deal with others, others will use abnormal logic to deal with you. We're in Xia City, so it's a bit better. Look at Red Fox. He was eradicating evil and eliminating evil, but what happened to him in the end? Sometimes, I really want to be controlled by someone. I want to follow a set of rules and live a peaceful life. Headquarters might have been able to do it in the past. Unfortunately, it's impossible to count on those bastards right now. "
Luo Nan handed over a fruit platter as a form of consolation. He asked casually, "How many ability users are like you guys?"
Papercut picked up a few apple slices. "What do you mean by 'like you guys'?"
Luo Nan thought for a moment and said, "You guys have a proper job in society, earn money to support yourself, and follow the rules of the secular world most of the time."
Of the ability users he knew, Cat Eyes taught dancing, Papercut had his own craft store, Octopus and Mr. White were doctors, Mr. Giant Arm ran a dojo, and Her Majesty Empress Wu ran a firm... They were all very close to the secular world.
However, there were also people like President Ouyang who wholeheartedly devoted themselves to research. There were also people like Bamboo Pole who were more of a homebody and only served his peers. Crag Burst and Red Fox didn't have stable jobs either, but their days were still quite comfortable.
Just like this, the inner world and the secular world converged and separated. It was complicated and interwoven. Many times, it was impossible to grasp the corresponding pulse. It was very vexing.
Papercut opened his mouth to answer, but he suddenly remembered that he still had a mission tonight. He turned his head with a smile and said to Cat Eyes, "How about you explain it a bit?"
Cat Eyes's expression didn't change. She poured the peat-flavored wine down her throat. She sneered leisurely, but she was disinclined to pay attention to him.
Papercut didn't insist. He shrugged and said, "This is the way of the world. The barrier between ability users and secular society is indeed getting thinner and thinner. There are people who oppose this trend. There are people who approve of it. There are people who let nature take its course. Xia City has fewer rules and regulations. There are many people who let nature take its course. But in other cities, there are quite a few people who are very passionate about infiltrating. They want to realize the era of ability users. There are also some people who are very determined to maintain their distance and maintain their bloodline... "
It was unknown which sentence aroused her interest, but Cat Eyes downed the wine in her cup in one gulp. She suddenly spoke, "Actually, they're all the same. The faction of people above people."
Luo Nan understood in an instant, "So they feel that they're higher than normal people?"
"Mysophobia, or the desire to dominate." Cat Eyes laughed to herself as she spoke. She cast a sidelong glance at Luo Nan, "For example, a certain someone. Boss. Boss Luo. What do you think? "
This topic was off topic. Plus, it didn't seem like an inquiry. It seemed more like sarcasm.
Luo Nan didn't want to answer, nor did he feel the need to. Xie Junping just so happened to finish making a round of phone calls. He walked over and said, "Nanster, I got some information. That Ju Ling is the son of Ju Maoxun's uncle. He joined the military many years ago. Recently, he was transferred from the City Defense Army to the Coastal Defense Army. He's already a lieutenant colonel. I heard he's a Burner. "
Burner? The Coastal Defense Army?
Luo Nan and Papercut locked gazes. They immediately thought of the two people upstairs. No matter how many Burners there were in Xia City, no matter how many talents there were in the Coastal Defense Army, they couldn't just randomly pick a B + rank big shot, right?
"It's eighty percent likely... This damn luck!"
"Who is it?" Xie Junping didn't want to quarrel with that bro Ju Maoxun. He sat on the sofa, leaned back, and groaned. Only now did he show a bit of the elegant demeanor of a hedonistic young master from before.
Luo Nan observed a bit through the perspective of the living starry sky. He felt that Xie Junping's constellation projection really did have some subtle changes. However, the most important thing right now was to investigate the person suspected to be Tian Bang.
Luo Nan didn't have any enmity right now, but if a grudge were to form because of his relationship with Ju Maoxun and Ju Ling, then it would be a headache to deal with it.
Luo Nan was just about to go investigate when a voice rang out from the door. Everyone had sharp ears and eyes. They heard the voice over there, "Tian Si. You're here too? Perfect. Call everyone over. Let's discuss how to deal with this. "
Who was this?
The voice was a bit familiar, but what left a deeper impression was the arrogant and bossy attitude. At first, one would think that a big boss like President Ouyang or Her Majesty Empress Wu had personally come.
Luo Nan really didn't remember who it was for the time being, but Xie Junping, who had just relaxed, suddenly sat up straight. "What's he doing here? In any case, he doesn't come with good intentions. This bro will seize the opportunity to put on a show or two. I'm afraid Tian Si won't be able to handle it. "
As he spoke, Xie Junping hastily got up and walked over.
Luo Nan and Papercut glanced at each other. Luo Nan split a bit of attention to quickly confirm the other's identity: Chen Weican, the Vice President of the Student Council of Acumen College, the President of the Mutual Assistance Association. He had an elite face, but it was hard to have a good impression of this fellow.
Right now, Chen Weican was wearing a casual suit. It didn't quite match the atmosphere of Frost River Reality. However, his posture was tall and straight. His every movement was very stylish. He really did attract the attention of others when he walked in through the door.
However, if he were to maintain this posture and walk into the crowd, it was hard to say whether or not the loyal Xue Lei would give him an iron fist.
Chen Weican didn't pay attention to Xue Lei. It could be said that he didn't pay attention to anyone. He was just a bit dissatisfied with Tian Si, who stood there stiffly. Tian Si wasn't as quick-witted as usual, but he didn't say much. He just waved his hand and strengthened his body language. At the same time, he used his wristband to talk to someone else.
"I also hope that Frost River Reality can deal with this in a timely manner. I don't want the existence of some black sheep to affect the good reputation of the students... Alright, Manager Yin. You'll be here soon, right? Alright, we'll talk when you arrive."
Chen Weican let out a light breath and his expression relaxed a bit. He turned his eyes and saw that Tian Si was still standing there. He was a bit surprised. "Everyone has been summoned?"
"Everyone is here. The police officer is here too. What's the point of summoning?" Xie Junping walked closer and said with a chuckle, "Vice President Chen, it's rare to see you come to a place like Frost River Reality. Which honored guest are you entertaining?"
Chen Weican's gaze swept across Xie Junping's face. There was no emotion. There was no hostility. It was more like he was ignoring Xie Junping. But if one were to say that he was arrogant, it seemed that his mind was a bit scattered.
Luo Nan observed and sensed from the side. It was a bit strange. However, what attracted his attention the most was the person Chen Weican was talking to. His surname was Yin, and he was the manager of Frost River Reality. Could it be...
Before he could finish his thought, Luo Nan was reminded. He confirmed that a familiar target was approaching from far away. She had entered the edge of his sensing range and was rapidly closing in.
Luo Nan no longer paid attention to how Chen Weican and Xie Junping would negotiate. He sat on the sofa and his brows furrowed. He locked onto his target and watched her approach step by step.
Not long after, Luo Nan was able to clearly perceive the sound of her footsteps through the deliberate filtering of his mental senses. The footsteps broke for a moment when they were about thirty meters apart, but they soon connected. Several seconds later, there was a knock on the door. A white-collared beauty with an outstanding temperament stepped into the room.
Her makeup was exquisite, and her bearing was extraordinary. She perfectly displayed the most appropriate and mature style of a woman of her age. After she entered the room, she turned her gaze and took in the situation of the entire room.
Her cold gaze paused slightly on Luo Nan's face before sweeping across Papercut, Cat Eyes, and Xue Lei. She concealed herself quite well. If Luo Nan had not anticipated this, he might have missed it.
This kind of directionality meant that they were both in the same trade or enemies. There was no other possibility.
Sure enough, it was Yin Le!
Luo Nan was baffled. Why wasn't this sister holed up at home and properly serving the Human-Faced Arachnid's avatar? What was she doing out here?
Luo Nan's thoughts were extinguished, and his heart sank without the slightest warning... Well, that wasn't right. The signs existed, and they clearly appeared above the living starry sky.
At this moment, the B + rank burner in the Longwillow Pavilion, who was several hundred meters away, suddenly surged with hostility. He pointed in the direction of the room and locked onto his target.
