In the middle of the alley, Hai Jing really didn't want Mo Ya to stick to him anymore, so he went forward and forcefully pushed her out. "Let's go, let's go. Leave this to me. I'll send you a photo of the scene every five minutes, okay? "
Mo Ya frowned. "I think I'm about to convince him."
"That must be your illusion."
While they were arguing, a car sounded at the entrance of the alley. Someone got out. At first, they thought that it was the social welfare agency, but when the street light fell on the person's face, Mo Ya could not help but be surprised.
"Luo Nan? What are you doing here? "
"When I was passing by, I saw … your nanny van."
The reason that Luo Nan blurted out could be said to be full of flaws. But right now he wasn't in the mood to weave a more complete lie. His gaze went straight past Mo Ya's shoulder. From this angle, he could only see Ink flapping its wings from time to time.
Ink being here was actually Luo Nan's arrangement.
Because Mo Ya, who was always on the move, was not suitable for a large number of security personnel. For the sake of ensuring her safety, Luo Nan sent the idle Ink to Mo Ya's side after completing the Trigate Security mission. Ink followed Mo Ya twenty-four hours a day. If anything unexpected happened, Ink could intervene through the closed system.
But Luo Nan never expected that this sort of arrangement would actually attract Rui Wen over.
Luo Nan walked forward with quick steps. His reason kept reminding him to pay attention to his concealment, to not let Mo Ya see through him. But as his line of sight extended, he saw a thin and gloomy little girl with almost no feminine features sitting in the corner. She was covered in snow powder, sitting under a pile of junk. He saw human figures and other distorted shadows covering her, but the girl was silent. There was only the crow in her eyes …
Rui Wen was in a completely different dimension from the others. She didn't care about others, and no one really understood her.
Luo Nan's heart felt a bit stifled when he saw this scene. Sentences such as "The stallion stands alone, the shadow hangs by itself" from the ancient texts he had learned suddenly materialized. They transformed into a surging black tide that flooded his mind.
All right, perhaps Rui Wen didn't need pity, but the feeling still lingered in Luo Nan's heart. It was hard to dissipate in the end.
Qin Yikun quickly walked past him. Mo Ya and Hai Jing said something to him. Luo Nan was aware of these circumstances, but he didn't make the appropriate response. This was because his emotions were rising and falling like the tide. The speed of his brain was affected.
Luo Nan himself didn't understand why the emotions in his mind were this intense. He was unable to resolve this doubt for a time. He just passed by Mo Ya and arrived at the side of the junk pile to face Rui Wen.
Then, he saw that the girl was casually kneeling on the ground, holding the ink bottle with one hand, and there seemed to be a slight smile on her lips.
Luo Nan half-knelt in front of the girl in the next moment. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
Strictly speaking, this was his first official meeting with Rui Wen. In the past, their communication was either through ink or through a closed system.
Rui Wen also sensed something. Her gaze moved away from the ink for the first time to fall on Luo Nan's face. There was no change in his expression, only his eyes were sparkling.
"He raised his head?" someone exclaimed.
Then, Mo Ya's voice rang out, "He's reacting to you! As expected, it's better to be around the same age? "
Luo Nan didn't say anything, but he came to a realization in his mind.
Forgive him for overstepping his bounds and standing in Rui Wen's position … … No matter what the nature was, he really was Rui Wen's only coordinate relative to this world at this current stage.
It must be known that Rui Wen had already found Ink, the person she believed to be of the same species. Then, she was surrounded by a circle of people. Presumably, she wasn't feeling too comfortable. With her abilities, she could escape into the mental plane once more and break away from this environment.
As for misgivings? With her usual reactions, they simply didn't exist!
But why didn't she move?
Luo Nan knew that at least a part of the reason was because of the information he transmitted through the closed system. Just like the gaze that was cast over right now … … He, Luo Nan, possessed a certain degree of existence in Rui Wen's heart. He even possessed a sense of identity.
This was good news, right?
Rui Wen didn't look at Luo Nan for too long. She shifted her gaze and spoke to Ink in a low voice. Perhaps Ink's intelligence was higher than 99% of crows, but this didn't mean that it was able to understand Rui Wen's meaning. To put it bluntly, this was a one-way communication between chickens and ducks.
But when Luo Nan looked straight at Rui Wen, he saw the faintly discernible smile on her lips. It was an attitude of tranquility and satisfaction.
Luo Nan grew more and more speechless when faced with this situation. But it was also at this time that his train of thought opened up a bit. He suddenly understood where the surging tide of emotions in his heart came from.
Actually, it was him … … Luo Nan looked at Rui Wen right now. It was like he was looking at himself when he was experimenting alone.
He would be excited because he was still alive after increasing the dosage of the drug. He would also be satisfied because the degree of pain he felt after taking the drug one day was slightly reduced.
But was that really satisfaction?
That should be the respite he felt after temporarily escaping from hell. It was also the hypnotic pleasure brought by the glimmer of light when he faced an unreachable goal, when he couldn't see the complete path.
As Luo Nan grew older, he became more accustomed to the recent two or three months of leaps and bounds in his accomplishments. He recalled the muddle-headedness of his first experiments and often shuddered with fear: How much luck did he use in order to endure through the initial juncture?
This question was already incalculable.
But Luo Nan felt that there was no difference between the current Rui Wen and him back then.
He was practically a hundred percent certain that even if Rui Wen were to face death, she would probably be like this right now … … This was because she had never understood or experienced what a normal, splendid life should be like.
The laboratory and the fighting arena filled up everything that Rui Wen once was.
"There are some things that I need to properly teach you … … Even though I'm not too good at it." Luo Nan spoke in a low voice. His voice was fuzzy and hoarse. Even he himself nearly couldn't hear it clearly.
"Luo Nan?" Mo Ya felt that something was wrong.
Luo Nan didn't respond. He just extended his hand towards Rui Wen: "Come. Together."
Rui Wen shifted her gaze once more. She tilted her head slightly, probably due to Ink blocking her view. So much so that she carried a bit of careless childishness.
Perhaps it was the closed system that allowed them to communicate telepathically. Or perhaps it was the face-to-face communication that transmitted sufficient information. Rui Wen didn't move. She allowed Luo Nan's hand to reach over.
There was a slight commotion behind them. At the same time, the snow powder swirled past their eyes. It was just like the gazes and attitudes of the people in the outside world. It didn't cause any interference.
Luo Nan grabbed Rui Wen's left arm. The girl's arm was slender and slender. It could be grasped. It was this arm that was supporting the massive body of Ink right now.
Next, Luo Nan lightly exerted force. The girl was like a ghost that didn't exert any strength at all. She gracefully stood up. A thin layer of snow powder slid down from her shoulder. Some of it landed on the wrists and arms of the two, quickly melting away.
Although not many of the surrounding people understood what was going on, they still let out a breath of relief.
Only Luo Nan felt the pressure in his heart grow, even though he didn't use any strength in his hand. From this moment on, the connection between him and Rui Wen was no longer illusory. Instead, it was a carrier that truly merged with reality.
All the people in the know, the onlookers behind them, the people with ulterior motives hidden in the shadows, and the fellows who were hiding their heads and showing their tails were all witnesses.
"Mr. Luo." He Yueyin took the initiative to communicate with him. What she said was very realistic. "For the sake of safety, let us take over right now."
Luo Nan just needed to nod his head, and the Xia City branch would shoulder this burden. The iron triangle formed by President Ouyang, Old You, and Her Majesty Empress Wu would be one of the most headache-inducing combinations in the world. The impenetrable wall they constructed was enough to make those with ulterior motives break their heads and bleed.
This was, without a doubt, the most reasonable choice.
However, Luo Nan couldn't help overstepping his boundaries. He tried to consider things from Rui Wen's point of view. Should he let her return to the intensive care unit?
Or should he watch her over and over again in the snowy night with a crow as her companion, talking to herself in her own world for all eternity?
This wouldn't do.
"I'll accompany her for a while."
Luo Nan himself didn't have a clear understanding of what 'a while' meant. As a non-security personnel who needed a bodyguard to protect him, there were many things he didn't have a sufficient position on.
Let's just say that he had a childish illness! Luo Nan needed to clearly understand his own responsibilities and obligations … … They were right before his eyes. Otherwise, this illusory courage and responsibility, which might have arisen from impulsiveness, might be crushed by the heavy pressure behind him. It would be hard to leave a trickle behind.
He Yueyin didn't respond immediately. She seemed to be weighing the pros and cons.
This reaction startled Luo Nan a bit. Could it be that He Yueyin was once again indulging his willfulness out of habit? Or could it be that his proposal had a benefit that even he himself wasn't clear about?
Luo Nan didn't understand for a time, but this gave him the confidence and reason to continue persevering: "We'll be together."
I can't speak of anything else, but at the very least, in this world, a fellow who can do something unfavorable to us and catch us unprepared has yet to be born!
Luo Nan really didn't have the face to say these last words. But in this moment when his thoughts were clear, he really did do something.
Ink was a bit restless. It flapped its wings, and this time the force restricting its flight suddenly disappeared. It flew into the air as if relieved of a heavy burden, circling above the alley.
But at this time, the snow powder floating down from the sky suddenly became much more sluggish. Icy cold liquid seeped in through the gaps between Ink's feathers. It was very uncomfortable.
In the shadows of the alley, Long Seven was under Qin Yikun's near-face-to-face surveillance. He behaved like an ambassador of peace. His entire body didn't make any unnecessary movements. But at this moment, he subconsciously raised his head. The water droplets hit his face and immediately turned into ice. The cold penetrated into his bones.
It was unknown when, but the fluttering snow powder transformed into a special form between ice particles and water droplets.
Was it hail or freezing rain?
