Xie Junping had already prepared the car downstairs.
Acumen College forbade all outside vehicles from entering. What Xie Junping prepared was only an electric sightseeing car. Just like the one that Li Xuecheng was using in the hospital this morning.
It seemed that this kind of car was the standard for the rich second generation in the school.
Luo Nan's mind stirred a bit when he thought of Li Xuecheng. He sized up Xie Junping with a bit of scrutiny.
There was no reason for Xie Junping, who was in the same position as the burning wraith, to be exempt from the wantonly distribution of seeds by the burning wraith yesterday morning … … Luo Nan still remembered that Xie Junping's emotions were on the verge of collapse at the time. This sort of intense negative emotions was precisely the burning wraith's favorite.
However, from the looks of it, this fellow was completely normal. At the very least, there wasn't a demonic shadow leaping out from his body and screaming at Luo Nan to kill him.
Xie Junping naturally didn't know that Luo Nan's thoughts had turned in an instant. He dragged Luo Nan into the car and personally acted as the driver. He drove the car to the northern district of the campus.
Luo Nan sat in the front passenger seat and pondered for a bit. The mental plane vibrated, and the heavily chained crow extended out from between his eyebrows. It paused for a moment, then it continued to extend out, drawing close to Xie Junping's body. At the front of the chain, the red light of the abstract symbol flickered, almost like a demonic eye. However, what it observed and sensed was a darker and more profound level.
Several seconds later, the red light abruptly increased in intensity, the light almost piercing into Xie Junping's body. However, the heavily chained crow let out a cry, forcefully suppressing this disturbance.
"There's something fishy going on …"
Luo Nan wasn't that surprised. After all, logically speaking, it would be strange if he didn't. Moreover, the one inside Xie Junping's body was clearly far less mature than Li Xuecheng's. It was still in a half-hibernating state, and was using Xie Junping's Qi and blood to conceal its aura.
If Luo Nan were to use himself as a reference, this was probably the stage before he clashed with Li Xuecheng on the warship yesterday.
It had already been two days, yet it was still so stunted. Perhaps it was due to the host's personality?
The chain circled around Xie Junping's body a few times before slowly retracting.
Wait, wait, wait …
Luo Nan didn't act blindly without thinking. Ever since he had swallowed the other burning wraith, his understanding of his own abilities had deepened by a large margin. His thinking and application became more comprehensive. Currently, his abilities could be roughly divided into two areas:
Part of it was the heavily chained crow, representing the power of the format of 'My heart's a prison'. It was relatively restrained and like a stabilizing needle, it controlled and suppressed the abnormal changes inside and outside.
The other part was an abstract symbol formed by the burning wraith, which could be shortened to "Wraith Sign". This thing retained a considerable part of the functions of its original form. It was extremely invasive, like a ferocious beast foraging for food. Its senses were sharp, and its appetite was greedy. From time to time, it would want to do something big.
At the present stage, the suppressive power of the chains was overwhelming. The "Wraith Sign" could only lie dormant and wait for an opportunity in the vast majority of circumstances. Only an especially intense stimulation, such as the other burning wraith, the killing intent directed at Luo Nan, or the eruption of extreme emotions nearby, would the Wraith Sign be activated. Moreover, all of its actions were under the control of the chains.
From this, Luo Zhi clearly understood that his foundation lay in the heavily chained crow, in the "Format", and that the Wraith Sign was just an application tool. When it came to tools, one had to carefully study their principles and usage. Xie Junping … was a pretty good reference.
Well, it could be said that it was a small revenge.
Luo Nan's mind stirred as the chains retracted. He commanded the chains to streak across his wrist, making noiseless contact with the wristband.
The sealed enclosure of the electronic device was completely meaningless to the mental scan. The various devices inside were the same. Correspondingly, Luo Nan discovered that the resolution of his own senses had a limit. He could only have a rough sense of the internal structure of the wristband. It was extremely fuzzy.
The only exception was that long thread … … It was extremely eye-catching. Or perhaps it could be said that it was too dazzling!
When it made contact on the purely mental plane, the dazzling radiance above the long thread was truly like lightning streaking across the night sky. Of Luo Nan's two ability modules, the Wraith Sign had no reaction whatsoever. As for the heavily chained crow … … Wasn't this a conducting wire?
Luo Nan let out a muffled groan. He was caught off guard, and the lightning actually followed the heavily chained crow to hack into his brain from the space between his eyebrows. His body shook violently.
"What's wrong?" Xie Junping jumped in fright.
"It's nothing."
Luo Nan rubbed his forehead, his expression odd.
If one were to pick the best place in Acumen College, it would undoubtedly be the city wetlands that the school had deliberately circled when it was founded. As one of the green lungs of the city, this place was practically completely covered in vegetation. It breathed in and out fresh air at all times. And the slightly damp ground seemed to be able to permeate the gurgling sound of the long river that passed through the forest into one's blood vessels.
Therefore, most of the beauty of Acumen College lay in the wetlands. Half of the beauty of the wetlands lay in the long river that quietly flowed through the forest.
The long river divided the wetlands into the north and south banks. It also divided the tranquil and bustling areas. The bustling south bank's landmark building was the school's auditorium. North across the river was the lush wetlands jungle. Practically no traces of man-made structures could be seen at a glance.
At this time of day, the south bank was like a weave of people, while the north bank was relatively quiet. Xie Junping led Luo Nan into the jungle of the north bank. He seemed to be very familiar with the path. He was always able to pick the smoothest path among the small paths in the forest, and he continued to advance. At the same time, he gave an introduction:
"Compared to the south bank, the north bank actually occupies the majority of the wetlands. Many of the school's research institutes are located here due to the good environment. However, each one of them comes at an exorbitant price. Not only do they have to pay exorbitant taxes, but they also have strict restrictions on construction materials, infrastructure methods, and structural design … … As for the degree of strictness, you'll understand when you look at the auditorium. "
Acumen College's auditorium was well-known among the schools in the entirety of Xia City. It had an ancient oriental architectural style with flying eaves and arches. It was hidden within the jungle, and it was a part of the wetlands garden.
However, the surface portion of the auditorium didn't have any practical functions. Its functional area was completely underground. Only in this way could it accommodate over a hundred thousand teachers and students attend the ceremony at the same time.
"See? The auditorium is in the wetlands. You still have to lie down. According to the regulations, no buildings are allowed to exceed fifteen meters in height within the wetlands. In other words, it's a quarter of the height of Climbing Hill. "
The 'Climbing Hill' that Xie Junping spoke of was across the river from the auditorium. Actually, it was just a small mound that was only sixty to seventy meters in height. Right now, the trees on the mound were like a sea. Green, yellow, and red leaves intertwined in a gorgeous display of colors. An octagonal pavilion stood on top of the mound, giving it a wide field of view. One could practically see the entire region. It was the most refreshing view.
Actually, Luo Nan quite liked to go up there and gaze at the wind from afar. It was precisely because the scenery here was very agreeable to his heart that he had endured Xie Junping's suspense all this time.
Xie Junping's mouth gushed without end: "There aren't many places in the wetlands where buildings can be built. And no one can bear the crime of destroying nature. If one wants to achieve complete functionality, then one can only find underground space. But the problem is that the geological structure is within the scope of the wetlands' protection. The south bank is a bit better, but digging three meters down from the north is against the rules … … Those research institutes want to act pretentious, and that's bitter. "
Having said this, he winked: "However, there are always exceptions to everything."
Xie Junping extended his finger forward, letting Luo Nan look at the depths of the jungle. There was a corner of a certain building that sprouted dense branches and leaves.
The first thing Luo Nan felt when he saw it was that it seemed very old. It was probably because the edges of the building had a rust-like color. It gave people the impression of roughness.
Xie Junping beamed: "Don't look down on it. 'Gear', which is the building before our eyes, is an exception among the thirty-nine research institutes and society buildings on the north bank.
