Luo Nan had to admit that he was in a bad mood. As for the root of his bad mood, it had been a bit chaotic before, but now it was becoming more and more clear:
He was offended!
The reason sounded laughable, but it was the truth. Tian Bang, this fellow, had a powerful charisma that could make Cat Eyes gasp in admiration. He used this charisma to forcefully seduce He Yueyin...
One was Luo Nan's believer, and the other was Luo Nan's secretary.
So Luo Nan knew that even though he expressed his unwillingness to act as a god on the surface, or even in his rational consciousness, he respected He Yueyin greatly. But deep down, he still enjoyed the convenience and vanity that came with this relationship.
So his heart still wished to maintain this relationship, and he rejected all elements that could harm this relationship.
This kind of thinking was actually not strange. Everyone had the instinct to "benefit themselves." But the crux of the problem was just as Tian Bang had said:
What about being honest?
What he desired, what he hoped for, what he was good at, what he was good at, what he was good at. It was like a bright pearl illuminating the night. It was like a treasured sword breaking out of a sheath. It was naturally seen by others, and it was breathtaking. But if he kept it hidden, not to mention others not knowing, even he himself would be confused over time.
Luo Nan had provoked many enemies, and he bore many secrets. Hiding a few tricks to confuse others was something he should do, but he could not deceive himself because of this. Not being honest to others could be considered an expedient measure. Not being honest to himself was tantamount to burying and self-destructing.
"F * ck!"
Luo Nan flipped over and sat up. His two palms slapped his cheeks. He used an unprecedented frank attitude to face his own heart: Fine, he was protecting his food. He was also envious and jealous!
He was like a child that had not grown up. He was instinctively protective of his food. He was sufficiently selfish, and he hid all of this under his childish exterior. Moreover, he compared himself with Peony, Long Seven, and Tian Bang. He envied their toughness and straightforwardness, and he envied their ease and ease...
These two elements were mixed together to contradict and clash with each other. They were tangled and awkward, and they made him subconsciously believe that he was a head lower than these elite figures.
In fact, Luo Nan was far inferior in terms of mental maturity. It had nothing to do with his realm. It had nothing to do with his nature being good or bad.
He just could not get past the hurdle in his heart.
He had to be honest to himself!
Luo Nan let out a long breath. His upper body slapped down heavily, and he lay down once more, closing his eyes. At this moment, his eyes could not see and his ears could not hear. But with Cat Eyes and the Human-Faced Arachnid as a fulcrum, his thoughts expanded to encompass the enormous Aurora Cloud Capital and its surrounding region.
The body is here, but the heart is there. The soul has not moved, but the intention has come.
Luo Nan's body and soul were still eighty kilometers away, but his consciousness was flowing in the air above the large living area. He was like a mysterious eye that knew all things.
The night spread out under their feet. The skyscrapers, the campus, and the jungle in the distance formed the background. Brilliant lights and neon lights gathered like the sea and flew like fog, engraving the traces of human civilization consciousness in every corner of the light, turning this area into a bustling place and a city that never sleeps.
At this time, the skyscrapers were still crowded with people. Tourists and players shuttled up and down, completely unaware that there were military personnel standing guard at every key point. They were gradually diverting the flow of people. Of course, the flow of people was endless. Cloud City Water Village had many five-star hotels, over a thousand large and medium-sized companies, and shopping malls. The tourists, residents, and overtime workers numbered in the hundreds of thousands. Even the military and the government could not control this flow of people in a short amount of time. If they were to act too hastily, there might even be chaos.
The military and the government could not control this flow of people, but in a certain sense, Luo Nan could.
On the mental plane, where matter photons were unable to reach, the turbid flow of emotions, spirituality, and thoughts interweaved and surged violently. Perhaps there was a difference between the pure and the turbid, but when they came together, the pure became turbid, and the turbid became even more turbid. The layers crisscrossed and became chaotic.
However, Luo Nan's mysterious eye bestowed a unique order to the turbid flow through his clairvoyance.
The living starry sky covered as far as his mental senses could reach. The lives, desires, thoughts, and spirituality of tens of thousands of people were combined and mapped. They transformed into Life Sketches, forming groups of astrological constellations. Through this form, every person's imprint throbbed within the living starry sky. In the end, they converged into a hazy river of stars that stretched across the horizon.
The radiance of the converging stars was far too dazzling. If one stared at it for a long time, one would see a boundless expanse. It was like a desert of light. And the core of the bright radiance was Luo Nan's Self-Format.
He resided at the very center of millions and millions of stars. He became the core of the operation of the starry sky.
Formatting Theory bestowed this ability upon him. He wanted to maintain... No, he wasn't frank enough. The more straightforward answer was that he didn't want to be inferior to anyone.
He could even go a step further. It didn't matter if he was low-key or high-key. He wanted to become the core of the crowd. He wanted to be the most unique one!
Hehe. In the past, he clearly loathed this type of fellow who didn't say what he meant. He believed himself infallible …. So it was like repelling each other?
The problem was, was he unable to do it?
His body and soul had yet to move. Only a strand of his consciousness remained here. It was equivalent to opening a client, logging onto the network, and engaging in a marvelous strategy game.
As for the medium of operation ….
In the depths of nothingness, the malevolent Human-Faced Arachnid's eight legs moved. It stealthily leaped from one 'curtain after another' on the mental plane. It was the same as swimming between the densely packed stars of the living starry sky. It was like a dark specter flitting past a window. It could transform into a deathly nightmare at any time. Its long, sharp legs cut into the 'window' and preyed upon the unaware life force and spirituality within.
Because of this, Luo Nan could practically obliterate any person covered by the living starry sky at any time. He was the ruler of these thousands upon thousands of lives.
And a mere Human-Faced Arachnid was just the tip of the iceberg of his completely sealed system. His body and soul had yet to arrive, but his thoughts came first. He used reality as the background and lives as the chess pieces. He stirred the vortex of wind and clouds …. Whether it was Tian Bang, Peony, or Long Seven, who could do this?
Wasn't this what made him unique?
Wasn't this a height that others would never be able to reach?
Suddenly, Luo Nan tore away his skin that was on the verge of rotting. He fiercely pounded his own chest with a fist. His consciousness rumbled:
Does this feel good?
The Wraith Sign let out a soundless roar and suddenly sped up its pace. It made a few consecutive leaps and quickly approached the material plane. At this very moment, the Wraith Sign no longer concealed its tracks and traces. It no longer concealed its intense desire to prey. Instead, it followed its instincts to forcefully absorb the various waveforms of the airflow. It sniffed and locked onto its target, aiming its ugly mouthpiece at the target it had long since confirmed.
Luo Nan confirmed that there was no mistake about the target, so he unlocked the final privileges of the Wraith Sign:
Go, the game has begun!
The mental plane and the material plane converged noiselessly. The 'window' was like a decaying and frail ruin. It collapsed in an instant. The 'occupant' inside was completely unaware until the ice-cold claws of the demon pierced through it.
A sharp screech surged and spread from the boundary between the mental and the material plane at this time.
In the lounge of the frontline command center of Aurora Cloud City, Tian Bang's wine cup stopped by his lips. He paused for a moment before withdrawing it. He faced Cat Eyes across from him and said apologetically: "It looks like we can only chat back."
"Human-Faced Arachnid, huh?" Cat Eyes raised her cup in response. "I wish that both of us will get what we want!"
Tian Bang didn't fully understand this well-meaning congratulatory speech. Then Ju Ling's voice came from next door in the next second: "Enemy attack! Fragrant Bait Number 4! "
A second later, Ju Ling hurriedly pushed open the door to the lounge. He stood straight and saluted: "Major General Tian, the direction of the target has been confirmed. Fragrant Bait Number 4 has been killed in the southwest..."
By the time Ju Ling came in to report, the frontline command center next door was already clamoring with noise. The projection screen split into different sections. It summarized the surveillance information from the sky, every important floor, ground, and underground.
There were also various waveform monitors that dazzled the eyes. Common and uncommon waveform images and data were displayed in rows and rows. Every second, there would be an obvious and unobvious refresh.
Tian Bang maintained his original sitting posture. He held his wine cup in a leisurely manner. He didn't need to go to the command center. He could receive and analyze an enormous amount of information through the built-in transceiver apparatus. Moreover, in the mental domain, no matter how precise the military's detection apparatus was, it could not compare to his own seasoned mental fire and smoke senses.
Cat Eyes could not do what he did. Even though the root of the current turmoil should be her boss, her senses were still fuzzy. She simply picked up the sunglasses that the military had temporarily gifted her and placed them on the bridge of her nose.
The special information receiving equipment could select the corresponding surveillance footage and it could also seamlessly connect to the results of the military's radar scans.
Cat Eyes first looked at the situation at Fragrant Bait Number 4. It was easy to recognize. It was the entrance to an underground parking lot beneath Aurora Cloud City. At this time, a circle of people blocked the entrance. Some were standing and some were lying down.
Some of the people lying down were wrapped in sturdy exoskeleton battle armor.
"The interception power of the relevant direction has been lost." The AI's alarm reverberated. Actually, there was no need to say much. Just by looking at the formation of the relevant personnel, they did not have the slightest bit of combat power.
"The Human-Faced Arachnid has broken through the inner southwest defensive line." Rather than saying this was a report, it was better to say that Ju Ling exclaimed in surprise.
Tian Bang did not give any instructions because at this moment, the consciousness of this B + rank Burner was wrapped in intense mental fire and smoke. He was rushing towards the location where the Human-Faced Arachnid had appeared.
He Yueyin's message popped up on the mission window: "Switch radar data."
"Didn't you want them to leave early?"
Cat Eyes stabbed at the mission window, but she still switched the live surveillance footage to data mode. In an instant, large amounts of graphics, wavebands, and relevant data symbols flooded the screen. They were synchronized to the mission window through a shared perspective.
The mission window flickered continuously. Xue Lei could not help but complain: "I don't understand it at all."
Papercut admitted defeat: "I only know that it has to do with waveband absorption. Then I use this as material to calculate the probability of the Human-Faced Arachnid's location. I don't understand the specifics either... I just want to know. What is Fragrant Bait Number 4? "
Just as Papercut spoke, a sudden and continuous wave crest suddenly rose on the flowing waveband graph. It pushed all the way to the highest limit of the graph. Before the scale unit changed, a nearly straight line was drawn out.
Ju Ling also noticed this change. He contacted the command center in a low voice: "What's the situation?"
"Number 1 has made contact with the target. They are engaged in shallow combat... They have disappeared!" The tone of the technician's voice changed. It could be heard clearly through a wall.
