Luo Nan deliberately suppressed the Wraith Sign's devouring of his life essence. The turbulence on the mental plane ended in a short two seconds.
Xie Junping couldn't avoid receiving a bit of impact, but it should be within an acceptable range.
Luo Nan saw that Xie Junping was absent-minded, so he patted his shoulder in an attempt to comfort him. But who knew that Xie Junping would shake his head before Luo Nan could say anything. His gaze drifted and he spat vaguely:
"What's that sound?"
Is he talking nonsense?
This was Luo Nan's first thought. But then he noticed that his heavily chained crow slowly trembled and retracted, emitting a crashing sound.
"...... Senior? What did you hear? "
Xie Junping's face turned towards Luo Nan, but his gaze was unfocused. He opened his mouth and suddenly fell backwards. Luo Nan had to support him to prevent the back of his head from smashing into the ground.
But right now Xie Junping had already sunk into an unconscious state. He was drowsy, as if he was having a nightmare. His body temperature rose and fell, causing his wristband to start a health alarm and send a signal outwards.
The problem was that they were fifteen meters underground, and they were in the former laboratory. The signal shielding was in place. No matter how advanced the wristband was, it was destined to be useless.
The effects of destroying the parasitic burning wraith were this serious?
Luo Nan absolutely didn't expect this.
He had clearly controlled the damage to Xie Junping's life force … … Could it be that the connection between the burning wraith and Xie Junping on the mental plane was deeper than expected?
Luo Nan's expression was grave. He let Xie Junping lie on the ground, and the heavily chained crow came out again. He let the Wraith Sign probe Xie Junping's body from inside out.
The problem was that there were no more abnormalities. At least on the level that the Wraith Sign was able to probe.
As for the state of Xie Junping's body, Luo Nan was even more powerless.
The structure of the human body was far too precise and complex. Luo Nan had used drugs to shape his format and mutate his nervous system. This was already a bold cognition and transformation of the body. But what he understood was still a drop in the ocean.
Luo Nan really didn't wish for Xie Junping to be like this.
But things had already happened. He couldn't do anything about it. He pondered for a moment, then he carried Xie Junping on his back. He prepared to deal with Xie Junping on the surface. From the functions of Xie Junping's wristband, as long as the signal could go out, he should be able to alert the network and call for medical help.
Truthfully speaking, carrying Xie Junping on his back wasn't easy for Luo Nan at all. This guy weighed about seventy to eighty kilograms. He was unconscious and didn't know how to cooperate, which made him even heavier.
Luo Nan was soon covered in sweat. Fortunately, the elevator was in sight. He freed a hand to press the button, but he clearly heard a warning beep at this time. It seemed to be coming from Xie Junping's wristband.
Luo Nan thought that something was wrong with Xie Junping again. He hurriedly put Xie Junping down and prepared to check on him. But he never expected that in this instant, the sound of an electric switch would ring out and everything before his eyes would suddenly sink into pitch-black darkness.
Luo Nan was stupefied for half a second before he suddenly lowered his head. At this moment, there was still a bit of light in the darkness. It came from Xie Junping's wrist, his bracelet.
A series of messages flooded the screen.
The person granted temporary authority will enter a state of unconsciousness.
The laboratory's defense system had entered Level B.
The awakening function was activated, but the person who granted temporary authority did not respond.
There are no other authorized users within the laboratory.
The laboratory's defense system entered Grade A status.
The energy system was shut down, the communication system was shut down, the transportation system was shut down, and the life support system was shut down … The laboratory was locked down.
"......"
The messages finished flooding the screen and the glow of the wristband was extinguished. The faint luster was like the mocking gaze of a devil. It blinked once and then it was ignored.
Luo Nan touched the wristband in an attempt to save it, but the wristband's personal defense function was activated. No matter how he touched it, there was no response.
Luo Nan smashed his fist heavily against the elevator door.
Modern society was undoubtedly a society of authority.
The Internet of Things covered every corner of the city. The level of electronic authority determined where you could go in the city and what level you could go.
Your body was free, but your authority was controlled. Using the identity of a low authority to forcefully break into the boundaries of a high authority was like hitting your nose against a wall. Or you would be like Luo Nan, trapped on the spot by an inexplicable trap.
Authority traps were very common. They were usually located in important locations like elevators, corridors, and other relatively confined and narrow areas. The purpose was to trap unauthorized trespassers and then hand them over to the police to deal with.
The area that Luo Nan encountered was much more spacious, but the location wasn't ideal … … This was an enclosed space fifteen meters underground.
In this place, the darkness was like a demon that existed everywhere. The silence permeated the air, conveying unease and fear.
Luo Nan stood at the elevator door. He could clearly hear his and Xie Junping's breathing. Several seconds later, he put Xie Junping down and leaned against the elevator door.
"Hey, wake up!"
Xie Junping didn't respond.
"Pa pa."
There was still no response.
Calling, slapping, pinching, and other methods were all used. Xie Junping was still in an unconscious state, but his body temperature had calmed down quite a bit.
Luo Nan was speechless. He stood there for a dozen more seconds before smashing the elevator door again. But this time it was a bit lighter. Then he carried Xie Junping on his back and walked back.
The darkness followed him like a shadow. This was the most thorough darkness. The damned defense system of the laboratory had cleanly cut off all energy. There really wasn't any light at all.
Luo Nan originally wanted to use his own wristband for illumination, but the wristband had entered a low power state half an hour ago due to the long wire. A bit of light was equivalent to nothing.
He simply didn't need it. The darkness had no meaning for him anyway.
The dark chain stretched out once more. The Wraith Sign at the front flickered with a bewitching red light. This light only flickered on the mental plane, but it shone onto the plane of reality through some form. It allowed Luo Nan to observe the surrounding environment without using his naked eye. In a certain sense, it was even clearer than the naked eye.
This could be considered as the out-of-body perspective of the soul.
In any case, the feeling of being able to "see" the environment clearly was quite good. The unfathomable things within the pure darkness were swept away in an instant. The pressure on the mental plane was somewhat alleviated.
Luo Nan found a chair in the empty central control room. He placed Xie Junping on it and ignored him for the time being. He walked in front of the control panel that had already been completely shut down. He casually pressed a few buttons, but there was no response at all.
The threat of reality was still as heavy as ever.
Luo Nan didn't forget the last bit of information that flashed on Xie Junping's wristband.
Of the several systems that had been completely shut down, the most fatal was undoubtedly the life support system. If this system didn't constantly circulate air in the enclosed space fifteen meters underground, the trapped people, including trespassers and temporary authority holders, would face the risk of suffocating to death before long.
From this, it could be seen that the owner of this laboratory was truly vicious and merciless. If one were to scrutinize the legal provisions, this was undoubtedly illegal. But when Luo Nan thought about who the previous owner of this laboratory was, he felt that this was quite in line with his own psychological expectations.
