Luo Nan spoke straightforwardly, causing Zhang Yingying and a few other friends who were most familiar with him to be stunned. They could not understand how Luo Nan knew this person for a time.
It must be known that secret orders were not like the ability user society. All of their members could be found on the website. These orders always pursued mysticism, especially the middle and upper echelons. Most of them lived in seclusion and rarely came out. Rumors and all sorts of intelligence were mixed together. It was hard to remember without specialized research.
Li Taisheng seemed to be a bit surprised. He chuckled, "Teacher Luo, who has always immersed himself in research, actually knows my name? Then I am truly overwhelmed by the favor. My efforts on cages and configuration theory were not in vain. "
He changed the way he addressed Teacher Luo, but the smile on his face was a bit subtle. It would be more accurate to describe him as frivolous.
Before Luo Nan could say anything, Zhang Yingying let out a low snort. According to the intelligence of the Hidden Indigo Firm, Li Taisheng was known for being amiable on the outside but arrogant on the inside. He was an extremely tough negotiator. The reason why he was not described as an expert was because he had truly negotiated very few difficult cases. This fellow was simply the loudspeaker and megaphone of the Order of Justice's power.
She saw him use the word "I" three times in a row in three sentences. He had an attitude of "I am the center of everything". Even if his true personality was different from what was reported in the intelligence, the difference would not be too great.
This fellow suddenly appeared in Xia City. It was hard for people to not think about complicated things.
Zhang Yingying immediately sent this new intelligence to the Firm and the relevant departments of the Xia City branch. She wanted to discuss things with Bamboo Pole and the others, but she heard Luo Nan speak courteously in a very practiced manner.
"I heard the word 'configuration' from others, and then I began to research and apply it. One of them was Mr. Childe of your Order. Your Order's research in this area should be much deeper than mine. Mr. Li, there is no need to be polite. "
The smile on Li Taisheng's face faded a bit when he heard Childe's name.
There had always been a serious conflict between the secular side and the truth side within the Order of Justice. Almost every believer was unable to avoid choosing a side. Unfortunately, Childe was a capable general of the truth side when it came to these political coordinates, while Li Taisheng was a staunch supporter of the secular side. The two had even clashed and dueled twice, let alone being friends.
Therefore, Li Taisheng deeply suspected that Luo Nan knew what was going on inside and that Luo Nan had deliberately used Fairchild to attack him.
Li Taisheng had really wronged Luo Nan, but in a certain sense, he had underestimated Luo Nan.
Luo Nan was not aware of the twists and turns between Li Taisheng and Fairchild. The reason he could recognize Li Taisheng was because he had been in charge of the negotiations between Headquarters and the Order of Justice.
Luo Nan had been monitoring the situation on the Pacific Ocean nearly 24/7 due to the fact that it involved the grand plan of killing Gong Qi. He had seen Li Taisheng engage in a battle of words with important members of Headquarters many times. Sometimes, Li Taisheng had his arm around Headquarters' shoulder to shoulder. He had seen it many times, so of course he had to pay attention.
Speaking of which, for the past two days, he had been wholeheartedly studying the information left behind by his mother and had not paid attention to the new movements over there.
Therefore, Luo Nan and Li Taisheng exchanged a few words of nonsense with each other. Their intentions were to gather intelligence.
Luo Nan shot a glance over as his thoughts spun. He discovered another familiar face … Zheng Xiao. This person had once teamed up with An Weng. They could be considered to have crossed paths during the incident at Frost River Reality back then.
After An Weng's fate was unknown, Zheng Xiao became the temporary person in charge of the Order of Justice in Xia City. Zheng Xiao and Luo Nan's believer, Baze, were one civil and one military. They supported each other and barely managed to preserve a portion of the Order of Justice's properties in Xia City. However, they no longer had a sense of existence.
Oh, Zheng Xiao had come, but Baze was nowhere to be seen. Also, Baze hadn't warned Li Taisheng, a direct Secretbound First Oblatum of the Order of Justice, that he had come to Xia City. Did he give himself away? Or was he completely marginalized?
Luo Nan pondered Li Taisheng, and Li Taisheng pondered Luo Nan. Both sides were unable to grasp the main points. Unfortunately, Li Taisheng still wanted to give a response. He could only deliberately bypass Fairchild and put on a fake smile.
"It is said that the accomplished are the teachers. While the vast majority of people are still tossing and turning about Black Mass and White Witchcraft, Teacher Luo has used the Format to formulate arguments, deciphered the meaning of the cage, and expounded on the marvels of configuration. He has seen through many mysteries with a single sentence. The title of teacher is not something that comes out of thin air."
Luo Nan really liked this topic. He just so happened to see Zheng Xiao, so he returned the favor. "Your honorable Order uses the Evolution Field to propel the projection of the Scales of Truth. It is the most ingenious and grand soul strength transformation technique I have ever seen. It is said that a tall building rises from the ground. With this kind of transformation technique, the Order of Justice should be unrivaled in the world when it comes to research on the basic structure of the mental plane. You have this kind of foundation, yet you still want to strive for perfection. The research spirit of your honorable Order is truly admirable. "
"..."
Li Taisheng had managed to maintain a smile with great difficulty when Luo Nan's seemingly polite words entered his ears, but it nearly collapsed. The word "motherf * cker" swayed at the corner of his mouth twice before he swallowed it back down with great difficulty.
Many people saw Li Taisheng's unsightly expression. Those who understood the situation better, such as the intelligence expert Zhang Yingying and the secret order's research expert Bamboo Pole, could not help but snicker in their hearts.
According to a few reliable and unreliable rumors, the Order of Justice rose to power because their first generation First Oblatum coincidentally discovered the ultimate killing weapon, the Scales of Truth. He borrowed the power of this top-notch sacrificial weapon to become one of the most powerful beings on this planet in a short amount of time.
No one could deny the talent of the Order of Justice's first generation First Oblatum, but at the same time, there was a consensus in the industry. Many of the techniques and theories of the Order of Justice were established by reverse engineering the mighty power of the Scales of Truth.
Even though it could not be confirmed that the foundational theories of the Order of Justice were flawed, this was indeed a reason for some powers to denounce and ridicule the Order of Justice.
Of course, Zhang Yingying and Bamboo Pole did not believe that Luo Nan had done this deliberately. However, the more unintentional his words were, the more hurtful they were...
Sure enough, Luo Nan did not specifically target anything. He even temporarily forgot about Gong Qi, Baze, and other practical problems because of the topic of this domain. Instead, he focused on a new topic, expanding his train of thought once more. He began to discuss with Li Taisheng.
"First Oblatum Li, are the experiments conducted by your honorable Order the same as those conducted by others?"
Li Taisheng reluctantly responded, "There are some differences."
Luo Nan shook his head. "If you're talking about structural verification experiments on the mental plane, then I don't believe that the direction of your Order of Justice's experiments will be consistent with our project team and the vast majority of ability users of the mental side."
Li Taisheng was stunned. "What do you mean?"
Luo Nan said, "It doesn't matter what the nature of the various experiments First Oblatum Li has mentioned. It doesn't matter if it's Black Mass, white voodoo, or eastern daoist techniques. They can all be viewed as configurations or variations of configurations. Since this is the case, we must follow the fundamental principles of configuration. We must design according to the nature of the mental plane. Your honorable Order is in the Abyssal Region …. "
There was a limit to Li Taisheng's patience. He interrupted Luo Nan's words. "Teacher Luo, you misunderstand. The majority of our related experiments are conducted in the Three Zones region. Oh, you've already rejected this traditional concept. What should we call it now? Mental Turbid? Of course we know that the Abyssal Region is a kind of nature. The construction and design of the Abyssal Region requires a qualitative change …. "
Luo Nan shook his head and interrupted, "It's not the same. The difference doesn't lie in the Abyssal Region or the Abyssal Region. It lies in the construction of the system itself. "
"Oh?"
"We all know that it's impossible to construct a configuration in the Abyssal Region when the soul strength of an ability user is still trapped in a cage. It's even more impossible for the general mental turbid to construct a configuration in the Abyssal Region …."
"Hold on. Isn't there still the Ring of Blood-Intent Fortress?"
"There's also the Scales of Truth of Justice of your Order. Forgive me for not being clear on the corresponding system of your Order, but I assume that the Scales of Truth are used as a foundation for construction. I'll use this name for the time being …. You don't mind, right? "
Li Taisheng's lips twitched. "It's simple and clear."
Luo Nan laughed and continued, "Whether it's the Scales of Truth or the Ring of Blood-Intent Fortress, they can organize and transport the consciousness within the cage to the Abyssal Region. This is precisely where the value of configurations lies. But at the end of the day, it is the most common principle: a change in quantity can bring about a change in quality, and the combination of structures can make this change more efficient. In the end, it just depends on where the direction of the change is. "
Li Taisheng subconsciously turned his head and exchanged glances with Zheng Xiao. But all he saw was confusion.
"What in the world are you trying to say?"
Luo Nan actually wanted to have a good discussion with Li Taisheng, but when he opened his mouth again, he discovered that there really wasn't enough time. In the end, he decided to make a long story short. His tone was quite hurried.
"The inclination of the system determines the direction of the configuration itself. From what I can see, the Ring of Blood-Intent Fortress should be classified as a tool type. It's like a spaceship assembled from parts. Through operation, everyone's strength is gathered together to charge into the Abyssal Region. It is a vehicle that carries soul strength. Its other functions can be created and assembled. It can also be dismantled and discarded. Just like what our project is doing right now. "
"As for the Scales of Truth, it should be a biological type. Oh, perhaps a plant type would be more accurate? This is my estimation. The entire system of the Scales of Truth may be an inseparable organic whole. It can have countless sides, but it must have a true and complete appearance. It is like a large tree growing in the Abyssal Region. Its branches, leaves, and trunk grow within the turbulence. At the same time, there is an enormous root system that resides within and beneath the Abyssal Region. It absorbs nutrients from all levels. Then through various channels and methods, it is digested and absorbed by the entire system ….
"In this way, one is manufacturing parts, while the other is developing roots. How can their natures be the same?"
The entire audience was silent.
Perhaps no one could completely understand Luo Nan's words. But if they could understand a bit of what Luo Nan was saying from a macroscopic perspective, then they would have some thoughts and gains. At the very least, it was a kind of understanding.
