In a certain room on the 177th floor of Aurora Cloud City.
A few seconds ago, the power supply system was inexplicably unstable. The lights flickered, and a fine crackling sound could be heard in the air. It was as if small bubbles were popping one by one. Soon, the illusory barrier erected within the room really did shatter.
The two priests of the Order of Justice suddenly stood up, and the Oblatum Knights standing guard outside the door charged in with nervous expressions. They thought that some unforeseen event had occurred within the room.
The two sides looked at each other in dismay. Two seconds passed, and Li Taisheng's face turned ashen. He shouted into the air, "Luo Nan, what the hell are you doing!?"
These words came without rhyme or reason, but everyone present was an ability user. They could all understand what he meant. Right now, the area was pervaded with thundercloud-like soul strength. It formed an incorporeal oppressive force. It was like lightning and fire that could tear apart the void at any time. It was on the verge of erupting, only flickering behind the clouds. However, it could take lives at any time. It truly made one's nerves taut.
There weren't many people in Xia City who could create such a scene …. Forget it. This was all nonsense. The person over there was clearly displaying the characteristics of his aura. It was absolutely Luo Nan, who they had just met tonight. There was no doubt about it!
Li Taisheng had just been discussing with Zheng Xiao how to get rid of this fellow who threatened the foundation of the Order of Justice. He could not help but be nervous when he suddenly encountered such a situation. He thought that the matter had been exposed, and that person had come to kill them.
However, there was no reply for a long time after he shouted. This was quite awkward.
Zheng Xiao, who was beside Luo Nan, had an additional thought. He felt that the thundercloud on the mental plane had an oppressive range that was a bit too broad, and it lacked a bit of a target.
"Investigate what's going on."
People of their level never lacked information channels. Plus, the Order of Justice had operated in Xia City for several decades. It was not for naught. Even though the Xia City branch and the military and political departments were still working on secrecy, Luo Nan's two-hour itinerary was displayed before their eyes in a few short minutes.
"In other words, that person also, uh, wants to vent?"
Soon, Li Taisheng and Zheng Xiao knew the ins and outs of the matter. Actually, it was not complicated. It was just a young man who wanted to resolve his frustrations after encountering a setback. Other people would curse and swear, but he would directly sweep them on the mental plane.
Uh, in other words, the mental thundercloud that was still surging in the surroundings was not targeted by Luo Nan?
This made things even more awkward.
After figuring it out, Li Taisheng's face alternated between red and white. Upon seeing this, Zheng Xiao hurriedly dismissed the Oblatum Knights from the room. When he turned his head and saw that Li Taisheng wanted to say something out of anger again, he quickly gestured to stop him. He pointed at his wristband and sent a message through the internal encrypted channel.
"Luo Nan is venting his anger after losing face. Let's just watch the fun. There's no need to divert the pressure for the sake of some unrelated people. Furthermore, with this node and this plan, we have to be careful. "
The color on Li Taisheng's face wouldn't disappear for a while. He knew that Zheng Xiao was speaking the truth. When faced with a master of perception who could let go of himself, within the range of his mental perception, it was best to be more cautious if he didn't want to be stripped naked.
But he also knew that he was still a f * cking coward! He was a dignified First Oblatum of the Order of Justice, yet he was being forced to use a secret channel while speaking in his own room. Wouldn't he become a huge joke if word of this got out?
Li Taisheng had always been a proud and arrogant person. The negotiations that he had deliberately messed up in the past few years were probably more than the deals that others had made in their entire lives. The reasoning was reasonable, but he was unable to swallow this anger!
Zheng Xiao could see that Li Taisheng was a bit mentally unbalanced right now. Half of it was because he had lost face due to his earlier misjudgment. Half of it was because he was being suppressed to the point of being sullen. In the end, it was because of the continuous oppressive effects of the thundercloud on the mental plane...
"Hiss. We've been talking for quite some time now. Why doesn't Luo Nan stop?"
Zheng Xiao grasped the most essential problem. The oppressive power of the formless and soundless thundercloud might have been a bit lower than before, but it lingered in the void from beginning to end. It maintained a faintly discernible interference with the material plane.
Not just ability users like them, but even some normal people who were more sensitive would have their minds stifled at this time. Their breaths would be uneven. Was this kid crazy? Moreover, this was an enormous consumption!
Zheng Xiao attempted to make a quantitative analysis. "We can feel it even from here. I'm afraid that the entire aurora cloud has been enveloped by it..."
Li Taisheng did not respond, but the calculations in his mind never stopped. He speculated that his strength among the group of First Oblatums of the Order of Justice could not compare to the several powerful Extraordinaries, but he was still in the upper echelons. He was a B-rank psychic, and he had the blessing of the Order's system. He could go anywhere in the world.
However, if he were to be placed in Luo Nan's current position and learn from Luo Nan, he would not even be able to expand the range of his perception, let alone exert pressure on the material plane.
Was Luo Nan, this fellow, really someone who was born with knowledge? Or did the original version of Formatting Theory possess unimaginable advantages? Or perhaps the Gate of Truth...
While Li Taisheng's mind was in a mess, Zheng Xiao's quantitative analysis process was delayed after he integrated the information from all sides. He hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"First Oblatum Li."
"Huh?"
"According to the latest intelligence, it's not just Aurora Cloud City. I'm afraid the entire Cloud City Water Village area has been affected."
"What do you mean?"
"Up until now, there have been large-scale failures in the power and wireless communications of this area. It's said that the electromagnetic radiation has exceeded the limit. But the source of the radiation, I think it should be... "
Zheng Xiao did not finish speaking, and Li Taisheng did not rush him. He actually did not speak for a few seconds.
Li Taisheng was silent for a long time before he simply took action himself. He used the secret technique of the Order of Justice to probe and grasp the current situation of the surrounding area. Zheng Xiao silently assisted him.
The results of the measurement on the mental plane needed to be determined and grasped by Luo Nan himself. Zheng Xiao did not know what Li Taisheng's conclusion was. His own opinion was:
The hearts of men wavered!
There was an emotion known as "fear" that was slowly but continuously growing in the area that he could sense. He was unable to grasp the finer details, but the general nature was like the silent and overflowing lake water under the autumn rain...
It really was lake water!
Zheng Xiao pinched his eyebrows. This was like a giant beast suddenly appearing on the calm and tranquil surface of a lake, bringing with it raging waves. Even if the beast quickly dived back down and the surface of the lake recovered its tranquility, the lake water would no longer give off the same feeling as before.
In the past, many people did not know what Luo Nan, a master of perception, could do. Luo Nan appeared more as a theorist. But from this new year's eve onward, everyone had to revise their impressions. They had to consider how the existence of Luo Nan would affect their past habits.
"I will contact the First Oblatum and ask for guidance on the next step." Li Taisheng spoke in the secret channel. It was practically the same as pushing aside his previous considerations and starting all over again.
Zheng Xiao lowered his eyebrows and responded in a low voice.
There was no doubt that Li Taisheng's actions were the triumph of reason over emotion. But looking at it from another angle, wasn't it the triumph of fear over dignity?
Perhaps from this moment on, the various powers on Earth would have no choice but to treat the giant beast hidden under the water as one of the greatest variables and incorporate it into their models.
While the two First Oblatums of the Order of Justice were having a nervous breakdown from the underwater giant beast, the giant beast was sitting behind the office desk with his elbows propped up on his elbows.
Luo Nan began to get used to this posture. His ten fingers were crossed, and his mouth and nose were covered. Only half of his face could be seen. His eyelids were drooping, and his face was expressionless. He could block off many external spying and observation.
He maintained his silence. He did not speak nor move. But the distorted rays of light around his body made this silence not very convincing.
No one knew what Luo Nan's intentions were in the end.
Bamboo Pole and Zhang Yingying were the first to chase after Luo Nan, but they were pushed outside by the low pressure in the room. He Yueyin hurried over after dealing with the relevant matters.
And at this time, intelligence from all directions of Cloud City Water Village came flying in like snowflakes, piling up layer upon layer. This description was extremely appropriate. Not only was the amount of intelligence, but it was highly homogenous. All of it was related to a certain person's intense venting.
By the time the Psychic Wave Network Technical Maintenance Team had sent an inquiry and provided a series of data on the decline of the interference rate of the Psychic Wave Network, the situation was already on the verge of spiraling out of control.
Zhang Yingying and Bamboo Pole looked at each other in dismay. On one hand, they didn't know how to mediate the situation. On the other hand, they were thoroughly frightened by the terrifying power that Luo Nan displayed.
He Yueyin spoke softly at this time, "Everyone, don't wait here. Let him calm down. Although the plan failed, the opponent was forced to be ruthless and cut off the relevant clues. This proves that the direction is correct. Whether or not there is proof is no longer important. "
Bamboo Pole chuckled twice, "Isn't it good for you to speak so bluntly …."
"The path of diplomacy has always been like this. Frankly speaking, this kind of result makes me breathe a sigh of relief. "
"Uh-huh?"
"Right now, the opponent isn't prepared, and we aren't prepared either. If we really were to break through the secret like a hot knife through butter and shed all pretenses of cordiality with the opponent, I'm afraid that President Ouyang and Her Majesty Empress Wu would think twice …. In terms of pure negotiation, we are undoubtedly the ones with the initiative."
Luo Nan obviously heard He Yueyin's voice from outside. Nominally, He Yueyin was discussing with Bamboo Pole and Zhang Yingying, but Luo Nan was very clear about her actual intentions.
But he still didn't react. He just sat quietly behind the office desk until He Yueyin sent Bamboo Pole and Zhang Yingying away. She herself also quietly left, leaving only Qin Yikun and Gao De to guard the door.
Only now did Luo Nan loosen his fingers. His mouth and nose felt a bit hot. Traces of blood seeped out from his nostrils. He casually pulled out a tissue and wiped it away.
The round of explosion just now had forcefully interfered with the material plane with his soul strength. The God Gear and the Body Gear fiercely rubbed against each other, to the point that some tiny blood vessels were unable to withstand the powerful pressure. They ruptured and bled.
But this was nothing. In the few seconds of explosion just now, the power radiation of the interference force definitely exceeded 20 kilowatts … In fact, Luo Nan didn't have enough confidence in his modified structure. For the sake of guaranteeing the radiation power, the output was probably over ten times greater.
Even now, he maintained a power output of 20 kilowatts, allowing the interference wave formed by him and the external neuron to cross a distance of two thousand kilometers under the guidance of the soul cloak in an attempt to connect with the target.
