Luo Nan's figure suddenly froze. He had returned to his normal standing posture. He just stared blankly ahead. It was as if there was an unmistakable image in front of him that attracted all of his attention.
"Whew!" Octopus was finally able to breathe normally. The feeling of restraint on his entire body disappeared.
Who in the world is the one having hysteria? Why do I feel like a ghost is pressing down on me? He had the heart to complain, but the entire room was filled with a different kind of suffocating atmosphere.
Everyone looked at Luo Nan. Some looked in front of Luo Nan, but no one could understand what was in front of Luo Nan.
Luo Nan was still moving. He extended his hand, his index finger slightly protruding forward. It was as if he wanted to draw something, but he hesitated.
Octopus was currently the person closest to Luo Nan. There was an inexplicable pressure behind him. He turned to see Cat Eyes standing up from behind the sofa, so he tiptoed over. It seemed safer to have two people as companions...
Bah! What kind of damned thought was this?
Luo Nan really gave off a very strange feeling. Octopus would never forget the feeling of his breathing being locked. Speaking of which, wasn't there a problem with the intensity of Luo Nan's mental interference with matter? Was his knowledge outdated?
Octopus could not help but grow an intense curiosity when he looked at Luo Nan's posture. His gaze swept over and he saw the surveillance equipment he brought. There was a projector attached to it. He had used it to watch a few programs before. He blinked and carefully moved over. He turned on the projector's drawing function, sprinkling a sheet of light. He adjusted it to the tip of Luo Nan's finger.
This way, he could more or less figure out what Luo Nan was drawing.
Octopus really admired his own train of thought. But a hand reached out from the side just as he was about to place the projector. With a click, the projector was turned off.
The one who reached out was Cat Eyes. For some reason, her face was a bit pale. Her expression was solemn. "Don't court death."
"Huh?"
Qin Yikun was a bit more familiar with Octopus. He shook his head. "Too sensitive."
Octopus was a smart person. He understood in an instant when he heard this. He knew that he had done things poorly. In this dangerous time, any information related to Luo Nan's abilities should be kept as secret as possible to avoid being seized by people with ulterior motives.
Even if they could all be trusted, a place like Gear was said to have already been infiltrated by various powers. There was no telling if there was an invisible camera hidden in some corner. Just now, Luo Nan had been injected with medicine, and now he had to record Luo Nan's marvelous state and the results. This was the work of a spy.
Octopus raised his hand, indicating that he had lost his mind.
It was also at this time that Luo Nan's finger finally determined the location of the pen. It began to wander and trace. There were no obvious directions or traces, so the others were completely unable to understand what Luo Nan was drawing.
Cat Eyes might be able to sense a little, but the details … were just as Gym Master Xiu had said, the most important thing was the details.
Luo Nan went to dig out the details under a kind of marvelous awareness. The starry interface of the Virtual Brain APP appeared in front of him.
At the center of the outline of the virtual brain, countless stars were concentrated, forming a bright cluster of stars that looked like a silver core. At the edge of the outline of the virtual brain, a small matchstick man made of a few stars and their connections had just moved to this place.
In fact, this matchstick man's original position was within the virtual brain. It was just that after the Virtual Brain APP and the drawing software fused together, Luo Nan's Format Pyramid blended with it, and the starry scene of the Self-Format mixed with it, changing its form.
When Luo Nan discovered this, he relied on his memories to restore the matchstick man to its original state, placing it in a corner of the virtual brain's interface. He never imagined that this cautious action would become the key to breaking free from his muddled state.
He never imagined that the outline of this matchstick man would actually match the mysterious posture of his grandfather and father in the photo.
Of course, the most important thing was that it clearly indicated a certain form and a certain meaning when combined with the photo.
If this was the Luo Nan of the past, he might have been suspicious of the logic behind this similarity. But now, under the impact of surging inspiration, he was like a radical painter who had entered a state of mind. His fingertips drew what he thought in his heart.
He reached forward with his finger when he had finished accumulating. He tapped a point amidst the hazy and dense stars within the virtual brain's outline.
The first time he put his pen to the brush was not at the edge of the cluster of stars. Instead, it was at a region slightly above it. Although the cluster of stars was a combination of the Self-Format and the matchstick man, the stars were densely packed, and the positions of the points were disorderly. It was extremely easy to get lost within.
The matchstick man was too simple, and the symbolism of the photo was too much. Only by combining the three and relying on that instant of understanding could he draw out the outline of the network and draw it invisibly, revealing the true meaning to the greatest degree.
Luo Nan's fingertips followed the flow and connected the lines between the stars. It was as if he was drawing a complex constellation diagram.
He treated this process as a sketch, but the difficulty was much greater. Not only did he have to draw the picture in his mind, he also had to ensure that the lines traveled back and forth between the points of the stars.
This was the difficulty and the limitation, but at the same time, it was a true detail given to him by the existing interface.
Luo Nan was still in that marvelous state right now. His train of thought was clear, and inspiration flashed through him without end. When the first brush fell, it was impossible to stop. The outline was already faintly taking shape in less than three to five seconds. As time passed, the star atlas gradually materialized. It manifested into a small dancing person that was kicking and waving its arms.
It was like the matchstick man from before the virtual brain, but it was even more detailed.
It was like the laughable appearance of his two closest relatives in the photo, but it was even more abstract.
As for the resplendent cluster of stars, it was divided into even clearer layers by these connecting lines. At the center was the image of a dancing person. The shoulders, hands, feet, chest, back, head, and soles of the feet were constrained into eight indistinct structures. They were like eight mysterious runes that revolved around the surroundings.
Of course, at the center of all of this was the dancing figure. It was the most complete and most mysterious one.
When the layers were drawn and the outline was complete, the feeling of sudden enlightenment wasn't completely consumed by the brush. Instead, it was like a great tide under the full moon. The waves behind pushed against the waves in front, piling up layer by layer.
An inconceivable power swelled out from this diagram. Luo Nan was shocked to realize that this diagram, this diagram, the energy contained within it, was within his body. It flooded his limbs and bones. It spread to the tips of his hair and his fingertips. It was omnipresent and omnipresent.
Because of this, Luo Nan could practically view it as overlapping with him. From top to bottom, from inside to outside, and it wasn't restricted by the fleshly body. The ability to circulate and transform to the extreme was able to interpret its form, syllables, emotions, and charm to its heart's content.
And Luo Nan already knew that this was the word 'I'.
It was different from any other language in the world. Its three-dimensional structure was impossible to write on paper, and its syllables were not something one would normally pronounce. It even involved the mental state and all sorts of information changes on the mental plane. It was inconceivably complex.
But when its meaning was simplified to the extreme, when it was inclusive to the extreme, it was still the word 'I'!
The word 'I' stood there. Disregarding its form and sound for the time being, just its penetrating and clear meaning was able to penetrate from beginning to end. It pushed Luo Nan to continue to delve into all sorts of details, all the way until the impulse of sudden enlightenment was completely exhausted.
But the driving force within Luo Nan's mind remained strong even when the outline was clear and the complicated structural lines within neared its end.
It was because this word, this meaning, was in high agreement with the ideals he had adhered to and followed for many years. There was no deviation at all. And the details it presented, every dot and stroke, every structure, every change, seemed to have been engraved into his memories and soul a long time ago.
This was not the opening of a new world. It was the search for the homeland of his dreams.
Later on, understanding, memories, and resonance dominated everything. The power that gushed out was like a great river that converged a hundred rivers. It pushed forward layer by layer without end.
Under the push of this power, Luo Nan had already ignored everything he knew and felt. He only pondered and experienced the word 'I'. Gradually, those complicated details were exhausted, and the area he wanted to reach became narrower and narrower. Unknowingly, he suddenly reached some kind of indescribable limit. The surging power suddenly collided with the impregnable high wall of a dam. With a loud bang, it violently shook, and then rapidly contracted.
The starry sky of the virtual brain's interface instantly collapsed and condensed into a single point. Luo Nan's perception and consciousness collapsed at the same time. It was unknown how much time had passed, but a crack suddenly opened amidst the primal chaos.
A single line pierced through the boundless. A single line passed through the dim light. A single line pierced through the void.
Three straight lines crisscrossed and pierced through the origin point, which had collapsed to the limit. It was like a coordinate system, but it was not mathematics. It was a kind of intuition.
The unique structure of information went from a point to a line, from a line to a surface, and then to a three-dimensional space. It continued to flow and change. During this process, the surroundings of Xia City, the surrounding seas, and the wilderness, as well as the millions and millions of living beings that lived and multiplied on them, all manifested their brand new concepts layer by layer.
These objects, living beings, and changes that existed objectively seemed to have been painted anew by an extraordinary painter. They revealed inconceivably vivid forms.
Luo Nan's horizons were broadened anew. He observed everything with clairvoyance, feeling new and amazed. It seemed that every detail contained sufficient information. There were even more subtle things that appeared within the range of his clairvoyance and the coverage of his soul cloak.
They were like …. They were like countless fragile bubbles. Most of them were not fixed. They had not even truly taken shape. Though they revealed gorgeous colors, they would vanish in large swathes in an extremely short amount of time. Then, they would form in large swathes.
Luo Nan watched these things as if he were watching the undulating surface of the sea near the shore. The bubbles, which pushed and squeezed against each other, formed a grand ocean-like scale with astonishing numbers. They painted this world with extremely dazzling colors.
Though this was his first time witnessing such a marvel, he had an intense feeling. In the end, he formed a judgment, even though this was completely different from his usual understanding.
This was …. the mental world!
Luo Nan was just about to take a closer look when a cold and towering force suddenly crashed into him like a flying peak. It caused this gorgeous scene to violently shake. A familiar thought appeared at this moment.
"You're quite serious in preparing your lesson."
