"You're looking for me?"
Luo Nan let out a sigh of relief when he heard Mo Ya's voice. Then his anger flared up. "You're the one who's looking for me... to take the blame!"
"What are you talking about?" Mo Ya's background was noisy. The sound of a piano and drums joined together. It seemed like someone was calling her. She responded with two sounds before turning around to talk to Luo Nan. "I'm rehearsing right now. I'll contact you in a bit."
Luo Nan looked up at the sky and sighed. "Mo Ya, you sure have a big heart! The high priest has exploded and you still have the heart to rehearse! Are you going to hold a concert for ten thousand people? "
"A hundred thousand people level."
"Screw your hundred thousand. You're dreaming!"
"Yeah, I'm dreaming. I'm hanging up."
"Mo Ya!"
"Why don't you try calling my name again?"
"So what? Mo Ya, you tricked me!"
"Tsk. Little brother, you're such a good boy. Come over to the municipal plaza at noon. I'll treat you to a meal and introduce you to some beauties."
"......"
Luo Nan was a bit stupefied by Mo Ya's unpredictable attitude. But he soon recalled that this was Mo Ya's usual trick.
He laughed and was about to retort when Mo Ya said, "Oh right. Don't come too early. Our practice venue is rented until 2 o'clock. We'll be racing against time."
"There's really a show?"
"What do you think? I'll contact you at noon. I'm hanging up. "
Then the call was cut off.
Luo Nan stood at the school gate and sighed after a while. Today's plan was doomed to fail.
He spoke to Qin Yikun and rode a security vehicle to the municipal plaza. It was a bit early to go over, but his previous plan had been destroyed. He didn't know what to do for a time.
Luo Nan's consciousness shifted to Ink's location in the car and locked onto Peony. If Peony were to follow the procession, they would most likely reach the municipal plaza. For safety's sake, he needed to maintain a distance from her.
But what in the world was this sister doing? She was stirring up a storm in the procession just a moment ago, but she immediately left the procession after receiving a phone call. Luo Nan ran to a relatively sparse location with a few flashes of light.
Ink followed him out of habit. Peony displayed her extraordinary keenness once more. "You're here again?"
How did she know that I just left for a while? Luo Nan was a bit stupefied. He replied, "What are you going back and forth for?"
Peony stood in the shadow of a tall building, far away from the clamor of the crowd. She smiled as she looked at the surging stream of people. "Fulfilling everyone's wishes! For them, this level of achievement was enough. In any case, most of them didn't want to do anything. Even if some of them were like this, they didn't have enough awareness to pay the price. It's not even as good as your attitude towards work. "
"Even?"
That wasn't a good word at all.
Peony put on her leather jacket again and laughed happily. "Including me, I'm not as good as you, alright? That's why it's good to participate. It's more valuable to work with you. "
"Thank you for thinking highly of me, but now it's my turn."
"When you said you have something to do, are you referring to watching the parade with me?"
"Go to the municipal square on the way."
"Municipal Square? Where are you going? Hmm, you're right. That place will be a good place soon. "
"The city government will cry if they hear this."
"As long as it's meaningful to us. This is indeed a good opportunity."
Luo Nan was suddenly unable to keep up with Peony's train of thought. "Opportunity? What opportunity? "
Peony pulled her hair back into a ponytail. She bit a rubber band in her mouth and cast a sidelong glance at Ink. "It looks like I overestimated you, Mr. Partner."
Luo Nan didn't care about Peony's evaluation. He knew early on that this Miss Peony could toss him in the dust in terms of planning and scheming. She was just stating the facts. His attitude was upright and very calm. "You don't need to evaluate my thinking ability. You just need to provide the conditions for me to reveal my search and sensing ability. I believe that this is the meaning of us being partners. "
"Oh, that makes sense."
Peony really did seriously consider this for a moment. Then she nodded. "That's what the firm told me in the beginning. How could I forget? I'm sorry. Maybe I drank too much last night. Of course, it's more likely that you haven't fulfilled your duties during this time, giving me some sort of misconception. "
"... Maybe."
Peony tidied up her ponytail and stepped on the high heels on her feet. "I need to change this too. But let me first explain the so-called 'opportunity'. Since we're going to the municipal square, as long as it's not a particularly exhausting matter, we can completely handle the related search work. After all, this is an opportunity to collect sufficient samples. "
"Samples?"
"That's right. Three samples. It's just like what's described in the records of the operation. After this period of incubation, the probability of a third stage Mutant infection appearing has already reached a statistically significant significance. "
"Speak in human terms."
"In other words, due to the invasion of this batch of Mutants, the ecosphere of Xia City has already received serious contamination. Affected by this, it's very likely that a primitive Mutant has already appeared by our side. Its original form might be a rat, a wild dog, a crow, or even a person. But in the end, it will become a monster with an intense desire for destruction and an instinct for reproduction. And then …. "
"And then?"
"The municipal government is still sealing off the information. Then a biohazard crisis type of blockbuster will play out in Xia City. When that time comes, we definitely won't be able to get the follow-up payment. The firm's reputation will pretty much be wiped clean. I'll lose my job, and my partner will probably have to change employers …. Of course, this is the worst case scenario. "
"Hehe, this demonstration is truly righteous!"
"It's also our opportunity." Peony pointed at the gradually departing procession. "Look, a procession like this can be seen on over half the streets of the city. There are a total of 954 thousand or so registered university students in the Xia City region. They come from over 70 institutions of higher learning. Four major districts are spread throughout the north, south, east, and west of the city. The number of people participating in the demonstration is over a hundred thousand. And if we include those fellows who join in the fun, the police and civil servants who are responsible for maintaining order, the merchants who seize business opportunities, and service personnel, etc., the number of people involved will certainly exceed two hundred thousand.
"Oh right, there's still a performance tonight. Singers, famous actors, popular boy and girl groups, virtual idols, and so on. By the peak hour of the evening, the number of people gathered within a five kilometer radius of the municipal plaza will be between three hundred and five hundred thousand people. Do you believe it or not?"
Luo Nan didn't respond. He couldn't help but think about what a canned sardine crowd of five hundred thousand people would look like.
"At that time, the residents of every corner of Xia City will appear in the plaza. A sampling rate calculated from the total population of ninety million people in the main city district of Xia City is quite reasonable, whether it's from a sociological or biological perspective."
Luo Nan had a general idea, but he still needed to confirm it. "What do you mean?"
