In the fierce battle with Jin Tong, the two puppets in the grotto had put in a lot of effort. The Mushed Mouth Ape had been killed seven times in a row. If he were to change his name every time he died, he would be called "Yuan Jiu" now.
There was also Mo Lun. He had been killed twice and could now be called Mo Lun the Third.
The successive resurrection of the puppets indeed brought a great deal of consumption to Jin Tong, but it was not without a price. Of these two puppets, the Rotten Mouth Ape used his own kind as a base, while Mo Lun used Gang Xiong to transform them with a single shot. After the puppet was formed, the cost of forging it again was reduced, but that was only relatively speaking.
The mountain of bones in the outer seas of Xia City was proof of this.
The reserves that the Bloodsoul Temple had accumulated over the past few days had been completely used up in order to support their consumption. The Human-Faced Arachnid had borrowed the power of the Jin Tong to stir up a powerful electromagnetic field. It was also a soul-sucking lure. It had practically slaughtered all the sea creatures within a radius of two hundred kilometers. Only then was it able to barely support the Bloodsoul Temple … Oh, there were also those unlucky bastards from the Five Metals Hunting Group.
Actually, if Jin Tong could calm his mind a bit, or if he could kill the Mushed Mouth Ape and Mo Lun a bit more fiercely and quickly, he could kill two more rounds of the Human-Faced Arachnid before it could successfully transform into an external demon. Then perhaps Luo Nan really would have lost all of his Corrosive Light.
Victory and defeat were separated by a thin line. However, the person who replayed the battle could only be the one who was alive.
No matter how difficult it was for Luo Nan to win, no matter how distressed he was right now, these were all treatments that only the victor could enjoy. Now, the Golden Tree Essence Qi that the altar frame had seized should be divided equally between Rui Wen and the Bloodsoul Temple.
However, with Rui Wen's unique ability to assimilate her body and soul, she had no interest in these foreign impurities. She did not accept them at all, which benefited the Blood Soul Temple.
The problem was that in the level of a closed system, the Blood Soul Temple really did not have the capital to monopolize it. A portion of it would be transferred to the Wraith Sign to enjoy, and the Wraith Sign would divide out a portion to offer to Luo Nan.
Most of the resources used by the Bloody Soul Temple were used to build the "Path of Blood and Fire". Currently, the altar at the summit had just been built, and the first five stages of the Bloody Soul Temple had been completed.
There wasn't much left.
The Blood Soul Temple was still continuously converting the impurities from the outside world to replenish their losses. The whirlpool in the lava lake in the stone forest was surging, it was chaotic. However, even if one could only enter the first two floors but not leave, the majority of the blood-red light was intercepted by the third floor.
Luo Nan watched the two stone puppets absorb the bloody light in an unending stream, while the fourth floor was only able to get some leftovers.
This level of authority was messed up.
He had originally wanted to interfere and see what kind of abnormality Jin Tong's Bright Light Mark would produce. But after careful observation and evaluation, if the Mark of Light was to be completely enriched, the current amount of blood light energy would not be enough, even if it was multiplied by ten. Based on the situation of the cave puppets, it had at least seventy to eighty percent of Jin Tong's combat power at its peak, so the energy reserves needed were naturally massive.
Unless he killed another Transcendent … Go to hell!
Luo Nan suppressed this dangerous thought to the bottom of his heart for the time being. He couldn't help but think:
Hmm, what would happen if I went hunting? The wilderness, the ocean, or the Cloud World?
Luo Nan felt a bit delighted. It was hard not to have such thoughts after beheading an Extraordinary of the Hundred Greats level.
But very quickly, a phone call suppressed his emotional water level by a lot. The call was from Mo Ya. She asked immediately, "Are you okay? Why wasn't he at the charity hall? Where are you, the police station? "
"Ah. Oh. I'm fine. I'm fine."
Only now did Luo Nan recall that the St. Mary's Church Hospital was one of the many murder sites reported by the Xia City police. It was only a wall away from the charity hall they were at last night. No wonder Mo Ya exploded in anger.
Based on this deduction, wasn't his attitude a little too calm today?
Luo Nan felt that it was a bit inappropriate, but he couldn't change it for the time being. He could only answer honestly, "We're currently at the South City Administration Hall doing the procedures."
"Today is Sunday!"
"Something happened at the charity hall. It's not good to stay any longer, so I asked someone to … …" Luo Nan pondered as he lied. Was this reason really useful?
"I'm coming."
"Hey, it's all over … … Hey!" The other side had already hung up. Luo Nan couldn't help but sigh. Rui Wen's procedures were more or less done at this time.
Could it be that he was still waiting here for Mo Ya to come over?
Rui Wen, dressed in a simple t-shirt and cowboy attire, walked out from a compartment in the Administration Hall right as he was thinking. She was expressionless out of habit. Gao De followed closely by her side.
As for the middle-aged man who was two steps behind her, he was a Deputy Chief of the Xia City SCA branch office. His surname was Hu. He had been requested by He Yueyin to be appointed by the Xia City SCA branch office. He had rushed over specifically to help with the relevant business.
As a high ranking member of the SCA, this Deputy Chief Hu possessed a clearer understanding of the inner world. His information was updated quite promptly, and he didn't lack the proper attitude. Perhaps it was because of this that he was selected by the bureau to come over … … Look at his expression. In any case, it wasn't natural.
After all, the previous person in charge of this business, the person who had arranged for Luo Nan's group to be sent to the St. Mary's Charity Hall, was currently in the police freezer with his nine companions, waiting to be cremated.
Quantum Corporation was responsible for all funeral expenses.
Spending people's money. Helping people block disasters. It was nothing more than this.
Rui Wen didn't say a word. She walked to Luo Nan's side and stood there quietly. Whether it was the SCA's Deputy Chief Hu or Qin Yikun and Gao De, who were responsible for Luo Nan and Rui Wen's safety, none of them discovered that this thin, quiet, stunted girl had disappeared for three seconds half an hour ago. She had floated back after killing an Extraordinary.
In reality, even though Luo Nan had seen everything from start to finish and had even helped guide and locate her, he was still in a dream right now.
Luo Nan smiled at Rui Wen and bowed to express his thanks to Deputy Chief Hu. "Thank you, Chief Hu, for your help."
He just spoke a few simple words of courtesy. He didn't really understand much else.
Luckily, Deputy Chief Hu was quite slick. He chuckled and said, "You're welcome. You're welcome. According to Mr. Luo's request, this child's relationship has been transferred to the Forestwall District's Lan Town Welfare Institute. Both sides are fine. Once the procedures are completed, we can handle the adoption procedures. "
Deputy Chief Hu was clearly playing dumb. He did his best to distance himself from the sixteen billion or two thousandths of a percent. He did his best to control his gaze and not meet Rui Wen's.
Luo Nan was well aware of this, but he ignored it.
The so-called Lan Town Welfare Institute was the one overseen by the Dean of Myriad Pagoda. Luo Nan had Rui Wen transfer her relationship there because this was the only place Luo Nan knew of. The Xia City branch didn't have a similar organization, so it was inconvenient to operate.
Of course, it was just in name. Luo Nan would still keep Rui Wen by his side in the future. He couldn't let her go to the welfare institute.
Luo Nan had a very good impression of the Dean of Myriad Pagoda, but this was a terrifying temptation on the level of sixteen billion. Using unnecessary tests to measure a person's heart was really a very unnecessary and foolish action.
Luo Nan had already notified the Dean of Myriad Pagoda before this. He would soon start the adoption procedures for Rui Wen. It was just that it was impossible for him to do this with his age. He needed to obtain the consent of his aunt and uncle.
Mo Ya had left last night in order to get some information. He just didn't know what the results were.
Luo Nan's mind wandered a bit as he thought about it. He was destined to be absolutely not a good person to chat with. He easily turned the topic cold. Deputy Chief Hu's mood was a bit complicated. He wanted to stay far away from Luo Nan due to his safety instincts, but he also wanted to befriend Luo Nan.
Luo Nan pressed his ear while he was in a dilemma. "Excuse me. I need to take a call."
Deputy Chief Hu hurriedly said, "Just do what you need to do."
Luo Nan nodded toward him and connected to the HexaEar. Papercut was contacting him through voice. Papercut first asked about Rui Wen's situation in the beginning, and Luo Nan didn't hide anything from him.
Papercut was a bit shocked. "You're really going to adopt her? They're putting all the pressure on you. "
"There's no difference... It's just a matter of time." Luo Nan already had a realization. A huge business deal of sixteen billion would make the vast majority of people in the world go crazy.
Those greedy people would be like mad dogs, searching for any opportunity to take a bite. Then they would bite down without letting go. Once Luo Nan stood on the stage, even if it was just his silhouette, he would be picked up by them sooner or later.
Hiding, concealing, shifting, and the like would no longer have any meaning in the future. He would no longer have any fate with the so-called 'low profile'.
Luo Nan chatted for a bit and suddenly felt strange. "Brother Papercut, you're quite well-informed. I just finished the procedures over here..."
Papercut laughed. "I'm with Dean Wan. Are you coming over in a bit?"
"Huh? What's up?" Luo Nan really didn't have this plan today. He had already made an appointment with He Yueyin. Once Rui Wen's matters were settled, they would seriously discuss the security upgrade plan for him, Rui Wen, and his family.
However, it felt quite strange for Papercut, who had nothing to do with Dean Wan, to appear at the orphanage.
Papercut went straight to the point when Luo Nan asked, "It's because of the matter with Old Zhai. His situation is a bit strange right now. Can you come over and take a look?"
"Worker Zhai?"
"That's right. I heard that not long after you left last night, he seemed to have thought of something. He stayed outside in the rain for an entire night, ignoring everyone. It was that kid, Di Weiwu, who called me... "
Papercut sent Luo Nan a video. Luo Nan skimmed it a few times, but he didn't actually watch it seriously. This was because he could observe things through a more intuitive form.
His thoughts stirred, and he followed the outline of the soul cloak. He crossed a distance of nearly a hundred kilometers and arrived at the Orchid Town Orphanage in the Forestwall District.
At this moment, Worker Zhai was not in the orphanage. Instead, he was sitting by the roadside outside. There was a relatively regular stone under his butt, and his body was like a statue as he stared blankly at the freezing rain that was falling from the gaps between the buildings.
In front of Worker Zhai, the abandoned driveway that ran through the River Wu District, Forestwall District, and Trigate District was already covered in thin ice. The bandits on the road had also quietened down.
Luo Nan frowned as he observed Worker Zhai for a moment. His initial judgment was that Worker Zhai was in a state that seemed to be calm yet wasn't. It was a bit like an epiphany. The breadth and depth of Worker Zhai's processing of information should have increased.
"Dean Wan and I both feel that Old Zhai has entered some sort of state of enlightenment. However, it's hard to say what he's comprehending. This is a matter of the spiritual domain. You're an expert and you've been close to Zhai Yunsheng recently. Do you have any guesses? "
When did I become an expert?
Luo Nan shook his head. Actually, he already had a general understanding of what was going on. Moreover, he could solve the problem right now. However, doing this would be too shocking, and it might expose his trump card.
"I'd better go there …"
