In the elevator, no matter if it was Xie Junping who didn't understand, or Mo Peng, Robio, and the others who didn't know what was going on, they all felt their faces twitch when they saw Ju Ling, a handsome man with a cold face, being crowned with the title of "stupidly cute". The atmosphere was very subtle.
Luo Nan was also doing his best to ensure that his facial muscles didn't go out of control. But he had already been named to help out, so he could only say hello. In the end, he couldn't help but grin:
"Little Ling, cough, what a coincidence."
The temporary mission window jumped and Cat Eyes sent over a one-word evaluation, "Fake!"
Of course it's fake! This sort of name that deliberately took advantage of others had more or less broken through Luo Nan's bottom line. Fortunately, Papercut, who was an actor, took on the atmosphere. His affectionate expression didn't diminish, and Ju Ling wasn't really stupid. He hooked his lips and really called out, "Brother Papercut."
In any case, this "chance encounter" was finally completed.
The elevator went down and soon reached the 55th floor. This was the hospital where Qiu Peipei was staying. Tian Si came back to her senses at this time. No matter what, she first invited Mo Peng and the other young boys and girls out of the elevator. Then she said to Luo Nan, "Why don't you guys chat first? We'll go see Peipei and pick up Xiao Han and the others along the way."
Luo Nan shot a glance at Ju Ling and nodded: "Mm. Go then. We'll be there in a bit."
As he spoke, he winked at Xie Junping, telling the group of people to follow him and not delay things here. Very quickly, the place was cleared. Only the four people from the association and Ju Ling were left. A total of five people stood in the elevator, silently confronting each other.
When Mo Peng and the others turned around, both sides wiped away their fake expressions. Papercut said unhappily, "You guys from the military do things in such an imposing manner. You ask for access to the Human Records at the drop of a hat. What's the reason?"
"The government and the military have the right to ask any law-abiding citizen to show proof of social authority and cooperate in the performance of public security obligations."
Ju Ling stood ramrod straight, enduring the penetrating gazes of several ability users. There was no fear on his face, and his mouth was also very sharp. But in the end, he still narrated the reason that everyone was well aware of: "The target of our search is the Human-Faced Arachnid. It is very likely that this kind of Darksider life form is attached to an ability user's body. It crosses the sea while deceiving everyone. The relevant examination is necessary."
Papercut asked, "What about normal people? There are tens of thousands of people upstairs and downstairs, and you want to search them one by one? "
Ju Ling answered simply: "At this stage, the Human-Faced Arachnid that remains will no longer be interested in normal people. Correspondingly, their desire to hunt ability users will become even stronger, which is why no ability user is an exception. "
Luo Nan raised his eyebrows slightly. This guy really understood! According to his intentions, Yin Le, the Vice Officiant of the Bloodflame Order, had to make a trip as well … Was he trying to alert the enemy?
Papercut spread his hands, "We've already met. Does this count as a pass?"
Ju Ling fully displayed the principles of a soldier. "I'm sorry, but we need to make thorough preparations."
Papercut gave Luo Nan an inquiring look, and Luo Nan slowly nodded. Saying anything more would just be a waste of time. What's the big deal about going along with him?
Luo Nan really wanted to see just what sort of method the military would use to search out the Human-Faced Arachnid's avatar.
After experiencing it for real, he knew that the matter of "recording permissions" was quite convenient in terms of form. The military temporarily commandeered a certain office area of Aurora Cloud City and set up the relevant equipment. All one needed to do was wear a wristband and walk around the room according to the requirements of the military's technicians.
The relevant information regarding the recording would enter the database jointly managed by the government and the Society. It wouldn't be made public. At least in name, the members of the Society wouldn't be able to say anything.
The four members of the Society entered the room one by one. Luo Nan was the last. The first three people passed without a hitch. When it came to Luo Nan … things went quite smoothly.
But of course, Luo Nan walked through the room filled with sensing devices. He simply ignored all sorts of waveforms … … These were just smokescreens. The true detection method was actually on the mental plane. It was that wisp of faintly discernible smoke.
It came from the suspected person … … It was no longer suspected. He Yueyin had confirmed their guesses. The frontline commander of this operation was Major General Tian Bang of the Coastal Defense Army's Special Warfare Brigade.
It was said that the Xia City government had specially invited this person over.
Luo Nan had reservations about this.
Even though this person was a Burner, his operations on the mental plane were already extremely exquisite. Compared to Fairchild, Luo Nan's finesse was a level higher. He was even above many mentally enhanced people.
The mental smoke lingered inside and outside their domains. It was an attempt to use its unique nature to induce the instincts of the Human-Faced Arachnid. Cat Eyes and Papercut were both mentally enhanced, but they didn't detect it at all.
Luo Nan slowly walked out of the room and glanced to the side. There were fully armed Deep Blue Walkers standing guard to the side. They were clearly in a state where they were ready to go.
This posture wasn't too friendly.
Perhaps it was because of this that Ju Ling had been accompanying them in casual clothes to dilute the hostile atmosphere. When Luo Nan came out, he heard Ju Ling giving Papercut and the others a job.
"Everyone, are you really not going to participate? The rewards for this operation are quite considerable. "
Papercut grunted and grunted in response. He simply pointed to Luo Nan when he saw him come out. "We'll listen to the boss."
Ju Ling didn't get this internal joke, but he was very clear about Luo Nan's special position in this group of people. Even if he didn't know before, he now knew the things he needed to know after integrating the information he had access to.
An extremely dangerous person who could control a Mutant, who could use his power to replace the perpetual fortifications with an infrasonic array, and who could instantly turn an entire city district into a land of death. Of course he could be the boss. He had to be the boss.
Ju Ling immediately cast an inquiring gaze.
Luo Nan hooked his lips. "I won't be participating tonight. My first priority is to ensure that my family and friends are far away from danger. I hope the military can keep the situation under control. "
"This is our duty. But it's still a pity that I missed an opportunity to fight shoulder to shoulder with Mr. Luo. "
Ju Ling deliberately reached over and shook Luo Nan's hand. "I'm very sorry. Maoxun, that idiot, had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. I hope that Mr. Luo won't bother with him. Of course, I was also stupid at the time …. "
No matter what Luo Nan thought, Ju Ling's attitude was impeccable. Luo Nan could tell from this that under his cold and arrogant exterior was an exquisite heart that understood propriety and the ways of the world.
Luo Nan always admired this sort of person. He also hoped that he wouldn't become enemies with this sort of person. Otherwise, he would have crushed him to death earlier!
Mo Peng gave him a call at this time. Luo Nan grunted twice and said, "We're meeting a few friends. We'll be down soon. You guys can just head downstairs."
A message popped up in the mission window at this time. Luo Nan saw it and said, "I've already called a special car. It's in the parking lot on the fourth floor underground. You guys can head there directly. I guarantee that you'll be escorted to your doorstep. In any case, it's near the Nade District, right?"
The so-called special car was actually arranged by He Yueyin. She had swapped out the usual security car for a business car. It would be safer to take everyone away early.
"That thorough?" Mo Peng clicked his tongue twice. But he had already been shocked many times today. There was no need to say too much about such a small matter.
On the contrary, this phone call verified Luo Nan's words. Ju Ling had no reason to keep them here. He gestured with his hand, sending them off.
The group of people were walking out when Cat Eyes suddenly said, "Hey. Is there room for negotiation regarding your standard compensation?"
Luo Nan and the others stopped walking when she opened her mouth. Ju Ling did not expect this. He was startled for a moment before he said, "In principle..."
"Like our BOSS. He has a clear record of fighting with the Human-Faced Arachnid. His recent accomplishments are glorious. He defeated a B-rank cursemancer, a puppeteer, and a fleshly body enhancer."
Cat Eyes did not say the word 'kill' in the military's domain. But she focused on the latter half of her words. "Like me. I'm an expert in long-range sensing and guidance. I've successfully cooperated with the military many times in the past. Are you guys going to use a fixed salary for an outstanding ability user like me? "
Ju Ling's mind wandered for a moment. He should be requesting instructions from his superiors through internal channels. He spoke a second later, "In order to avoid unnecessary links, the compensation is fixed. But if everyone participates in the operation and can make outstanding contributions, the relevant rewards will not be stingy. These have already been written into the document. "
Cat Eyes chased closely, "What about the designated item? “
"Designated?"
"I heard that the military's research and development of the long-range guidance platform is progressing quite well. They have already successfully manufactured a single soldier model. Can this be included in the scope of rewards or exchange? If it's possible, I can help out tonight. "
"Hey, Cat Eyes!" Papercut shouted.
"What's up?"
Papercut had nothing to say when he saw Cat Eyes's innocent appearance. After all, he wasn't that familiar with Cat Eyes. It was hard not to feel a bit awkward. He had just said 'the boss is in charge'. How come she was undermining him?
How could he know that Cat Eyes was more than happy to undermine him, especially to a certain boss?
Ju Ling acted in a business-like manner. "Lady Cat Eyes's long-range sensing ability is indeed an ability we need. If you don't mind, you can stay here for now. We will give you a reply after we consult with the equipment department. "
"Sure. I've been drooling over that single soldier platform for a long time. I definitely won't miss the chance to get my hands on it. " Cat Eyes giggled, but her gaze cut to Luo Nan's side. It was quite subtle. Then she turned to Ju Ling. "I'll say this in advance. I'm just a support job. I absolutely won't go to the frontlines."
"We will arrange the most suitable position for every ability user."
"I hope so." Cat Eyes smiled slightly. She raised her hand and wagged a finger at Luo Nan and the others. "Then it's settled. See you guys later."
Xue Lei was a bit stupefied. "Is this okay?"
Regardless of whether it was okay or not, no one had anything to say. The event was over, so everyone naturally returned to their own homes. New events were another matter altogether.
Four people had come, but there were three when they left. After entering the elevator, Papercut couldn't help but say, "Brother, Cat Eyes really has quite a bit of an opinion of you. You really need to do more work in the future."
Luo Nan's lips curled, but he didn't say anything. He was still pondering over the subtle gaze Cat Eyes had cast him before they parted.
The group arrived at the fourth underground floor and quickly met up with Mo Peng and the others. Qiu Peipei's medical treatment was done quite well. Her injuries didn't need to be hospitalized, so she came down with them.
Everyone had to split up at this time. Papercut and Xue Lei weren't on the same path as them. Xie Junping, Hu Huaying, Du Yong, and the Tian siblings either lived near the school or had their own transportation. The ones who were truly on the so-called 'special bus' were the group from Sixth High and the traitor of Sixth High, Luo Nan.
As for the Yue siblings and Turner, Mo Han politely asked them, and they smartly declined. They even expressed their apologies once more.
So what? Things had come to this. Their friendship was most likely over.
The group of boys and girls were affected by this, and their moods were a bit low. Plus, Qiu Peipei had suffered a blow to the head. She still had some symptoms, so she fell asleep in Mo Han's arms not long after they got on the bus. The bus was quite silent.
Luo Nan sat in the very front row. The driver beside him was still a member of the Society's security personnel, but he had switched shifts. It was no longer Old Qin from the Colossal Arm Dojo. The two didn't have much to talk about, so it was quite peaceful.
However, they had separated too quickly just now. A bunch of things were left unfinished. For instance, Du Yong specifically called Luo Nan to inform him as soon as possible if Luo Nan had any new insights into magical arrays. Du Yong hoped to continue the discussion tomorrow.
Luo Nan vaguely agreed. Whether he agreed or not was another matter.
Aside from this, the temporary mission window of the HexaEar was quite lively. Practically no one approved of Cat Eyes' choice, and it led to a small discussion.
Cat Eyes recovered a bit of her refreshed spirit after they separated. She spoke with certainty, "Seeking new things and taking risks are the true essence of life. Otherwise, what's the point of having extraordinary abilities? Just look at Old You and you'll know. As long as you don't become an Extraordinary, prolonging your life and staying young are just wishful thinking.
You need to do things that normal people can't do in a short hundred years. "
Luo Nan thought that perhaps this was Cat Eyes' true temperament. She was most likely depressed from being shackled by the chains during this period of time.
Xue Lei showed signs of being convinced, "Sister Cat Eyes' words make sense... There's no need for me to take risks. But when I run the daoguan, I'll exchange pointers with all sorts of experts. I'll fight a few rounds with powerful people. This is something that normal people can't do."
Papercut sighed, "You youngsters should just play by yourselves. I just want to take care of my family's little store and have a successful blind date along the way."
Luo Nan didn't want to participate. He had already begun to pretend to be asleep in the car. In any case, he had drunk strong alcohol in broad daylight. There was a sufficient reason. Right now, he needed to pay full attention to Cloud City Water Village, which was getting further and further away. The Wraith Sign was his main focus.
If he didn't look after her, the chances of Yin Le coming out in one piece weren't high.
But he couldn't resist Cat Eyes teasing him, "Boss, what are you planning on doing? Are you going to continue being a boss, or are you going to advance again? "
What was advancing again? Luo Nan didn't consider it. And if it was about "ideals," he sent a simple message.
"Formatting Theory."
Developing Formatting Theory and restoring his grandfather's reputation were his most pressing desires. These were not secrets within the Society. His avatar on the Psychic Wave Network was the classical structure of Formatting Theory.
Cat Eyes seemed to be quite idle. She continued to speak, "Really? Are you sure this is a pursuit and not a habit? "
"....." Luo Nan didn't want to discuss such a mysterious topic. He simply used symbols to replace his answer.
