"Who cut off the electricity like it was on fire?"
About a few hundred meters away from Polio's shop, Zhang Liu 'an's footsteps were so quick that he almost kicked the door open. He growled at the group of people in the hall.
There were seven or eight people sitting or standing in the hall, and they all looked over in shock.
Zhang Liu 'an's face was rough, but he was very scheming. Otherwise, he wouldn't have such a wife by his side and still be able to plan today's events. However, the ups and downs of the situation tonight and the successive changes put him under great pressure. It also caused him to have a bellyful of evil fire, which immediately exploded when he was stimulated.
"Brother An."
Someone came up and tried to explain, but Zhang Liu 'an thought he was the culprit. He glared at him and pushed him in the chest. "Are you an idiot? You can't even understand the gravity of the situation! That 'Furnace' isn't easy to get along with. Have you ever seen a guy who can roll around in the waterway without a single drop of water on him? Either he's lying, or he has special abilities. He clearly knows that the U-hole is deep, but he still barged in. Do you think people like that can be provoked so easily? "
The person who tried to explain looked aggrieved. "Brother An, it was Mr. Wright who ordered it!"
"Mr. Wright?" Zhang Liu 'an's temper was blocked, but he quickly gritted his teeth and said, "Even if it was Mr. Wright …"
"Even if it was me, so what?"
A cold voice interrupted him. A door at the back of the hall opened, and a tall, middle-aged white man walked out, wiping the blood off his hands with a white gauze.
Zhang Liu 'an's pupils shrank. He tried to see through Wright's shoulder and the darkness behind the hall to see the situation in the room.
His expression was so obvious that everyone in the hall could roughly see what was going on.
The tall white man, Wright, threw the blood-stained gauze into the trash can and said coldly, "Don't worry, I left you some dignity. I didn't do anything too excessive. But because of this, your wife was able to show her loyalty and toughness, and didn't reveal any valuable information. "
Zhang Liu 'an's expression was very ugly. Even if he and his wife parted ways and became enemies. Asking others to interrogate and torture him was undoubtedly a double denial of his dignity and ability. Disregarding everything else, the subordinates in the hall were obviously following Wright's lead — this was also a very natural thing. After all, "Brain Demon" Wright was publicly recognized as one of the bloodiest figures in the wilderness. He was rather powerful and had a great reputation. He was just a middle-ranking member of a small order that had rebelled against him.
In fact, didn't Zhang Liu 'an himself only make up his mind to rebel after seeing Wright?
After thinking for a while, Zhang Liu 'an's anger was almost gone. He could only fight for some face for himself. "Mr. Wright, we haven't found any traces of the Church's holy relic yet. That bastard is a very important bargaining chip … Now that a cloaked man suddenly jumped out, it's really not suitable to take drastic measures before we figure out his identity and stance. It was already bad enough when we searched the store. If we aggravate the situation and cause a conflict, we won't be able to get any more clues from Wu Jun! "
"Mr. Zhang, I think you have a tendency to exaggerate Wu Jun's and your husband's willpower." Wright's grayish-blue eyes stared straight at him. "You have to understand that a person's willpower is just an illusory bubble in front of instinct. People can keep secrets only because the willpower bubble hasn't been burst, or because they've made some cunning coding programs for their thoughts … These methods are not a problem for us. "
Zhang Liu 'an opened his mouth to say something, but he was interrupted by Leit's hand. "The reason I agreed to your shoddy plan, other than demanding a perfect result, is that Spring City is currently in a very sensitive period. It's not suitable to make any big movements. But didn't you notice that the cloaked man was playing with you from the beginning to the end? At the same time, he forced himself to add drama. He has a strong desire to show off, even if it's a shameful face. This is a happy offender, a typical troublemaker. With him around, your arrangements against that little bastard are meaningless. "
Happy offender? You're the A-level felon wanted by the Star Alliance Committee, okay? What do you mean by "demanding perfect results"? Isn't it because you're the one who can't see the light of day?
Zhang Liu 'an tried to remind him. "But if we provoke him like this, won't we make a bigger move? Also, we don't know his background. What if he's a super troublesome guy … "
"That depends on luck." Wright smiled. "I think you're lucky. If he's a trap left by Wu Jun, and if he's a troublesome strong guy like you said, you'd have been swatted to death like a fly the moment the power went out. Since you're here alive, that person's strength shouldn't be strong enough to break through the situation. For safety's sake, no matter how much stimulation he faces, he'll probably endure it or wait for a chance to escape. Protecting that bastard is the first priority, and we can set up the trap here … "
"If he's not?"
"If he's just a self-righteous idiot who sees injustice, then the reason is right in front of you. He's an outsider who hides his head but shows his tail, and you, Zhang Liu 'an, are the temporary guardian of that little pineapple. If there's a conflict, the Exchange and Spring City will undoubtedly stand on your side. "
Hey, have you forgotten about the Grade-A wanted criminal? It's hard to say for the Ability User Association in Spring City, but the military system is counting on people like you to provide funds!
Zhang Liu 'an swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue. From his nickname, it could be seen that the legendary "Brain Demon" was never a good-tempered person. He could only beat around the bush again. "But Boss Jun, I mean, Wu Jun's relationship with the Exchange and the Ability User Association is very good. If we really provoke those people, things will become very complicated. "
"Don't you still have me?" The corner of Leit's mouth split open. In his dark red mouth, the tip of his tongue that was shaking was as long as a blunt needle. "What I want to do is work with my children to shut up those disobedient fellows in time and prepare a delicious meal at the same time …"
The interior of Polio's shop was pitch-black, but the precocious Polio didn't shed Lil Pea. He widened his eyes and looked at the energy bar of his multifunctional mechanical arm that was slowly but visibly increasing.
At first, he thought it was an illusion. After all, all the power sources in his house were useless. Wires, wireless charging, and other devices were meaningless. However, the charging motion under his eyelids was still progressing steadily. He moved the mechanical arm of his right hand slightly. His bionic fingers flexed and stretched, and the various parts of his body were checked. There were no problems.
"You can move a bit more. As long as I'm here, it's very easy to charge."
Pineapple unconsciously grinned. He found it hard to suppress his excitement. "Silly, you're too awesome!"
"…"
All right, I'm really quite silly. I ran a marathon and an hour of tests just to help you charge. What was I thinking?
Pineapple was slow for a moment before he finally came to a realization. "Ah, sorry, you're called Electric Furnace, right?"
I understand. You deserve to be tormented by others.
After accompanying Pineapple through the initial excitement, the little boy's feelings toward Luo Nan were completely different. However, compared to the emotional changes, the process of accumulating electricity seemed to take a long time. Luo Nan's electromagnetic configuration was like killing a chicken with a butcher's knife. However, he was still unable to change the physical properties of the power source. He still needed to have the necessary time.
The topic naturally extended from the mechanical arm to explore the source and cause and effect.
Of course, this was a sensitive topic. In the past, Pineapple would have been unwilling to talk about it. But now, his mood was on a rollercoaster. He had seen worse situations, so he was more or less desensitized. The continuous injection of electricity washed away the haze in Pineapple's mind. It gave him more courage to talk about everything to his new friend.
The little fellow opened the hollow chamber on the upper part of the mechanical arm. "Here, this is my arm."
In Luo Nan's eyes, Pineapple's right arm, wrist, hand, fingers, and other body structures were all intact. There seemed to be no problems with the deeper bones, joints, muscles, and blood vessels.
However, its total length was less than twenty centimeters. Judging from Pineapple's age and height, the length of his arm should be more than half that of a newborn.
This was the level of a newborn baby. There was no doubt that this was some sort of developmental deformity.
"Ever since I was born, this arm has stopped growing. It has been maintained in this state. I have no way of controlling it. It's just an extra section …"
Faced with this situation, Luo Nan did not know what to say in order to not agitate Pineapple. He could only maintain his silence.
The little boy became calmer as he spoke. "Mom told me that with the current level of technology, there would definitely be a way. She brought me to see many doctors and made many plans, but she was never satisfied with them. Last year, mom asked someone to order this mechanical arm for me. She said that it was temporary. Actually, I feel that other than its endurance, everything else is fine. "
Pineapple pretended to be magnanimous when faced with Luo Nan's gaze. "With it, I can do many things that other children can't compare to. Although I wasn't the one who designed the Stalagmite, I spent more than two months to assemble it based on the blueprints alone … "
"Then it ran aground?" Luo Nan regretted it the moment he spoke.
Pineapple didn't retort. He just lowered his head and said, "There must be a problem with the shock absorber. I didn't want to cause trouble for mom. After Aunt Fen sent me a warning signal, I wanted to dive into the water and run away. However, I shouldn't have walked that route. The depth of the water and the width of the water channel are too much for me. It would have been better to hide in the deeper parts of the karst cave. "
Luo Nan watched a five or six-year-old child seriously review his assembled underwater mechanical vehicle and the route planning problems. Even though Luo Nan wasn't considered an adult, he couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis, as if he was about to be slapped to death on the beach.
What was I doing when I was five years old? I was probably crying because of my spineless dad. Kids these days …
Luo Nan suddenly thought of something when his thoughts reached this point: "Where's your dad?"
"Dad? What's that? Is it edible? "
