Octopus heard He Yueyin's arrangement. He immediately clenched his fist and smashed it into his palm. He gnashed his teeth. "That's how it should be …. Huh?"
Luo Nan's unexpected reaction made Octopus unable to react for a time. Perhaps this young man was too sullen. Did he want to run to a corner and lick his wounds?
Well, speaking of which, no matter how vile the situation was, this was the first time Octopus saw Luo Nan this passive, without the ability to fight back. Sure enough, Luo Nan's emotional weakness was grasped. He was far more fragile than usual.
"Nanster, you need to be steady at this time. Didn't they say that winning first isn't winning? In the end, it all depends on who laughs in the end …. "
Octopus felt that there was still room for redemption. He Yueyin's meaning was that the three heavyweights of Xia City should hold a meeting to discuss how to deal with the consequences of Horn Demon's actions. In a certain sense, this was tantamount to endorsing and supporting Luo Nan.
With Luo Nan's current status, this was obviously worth it. From another perspective, it was because Horn Demon, a genius who grew up in Xia City and was personally taught by President Ouyang and Old You, had displayed a terrible stance. It was no different from betrayal ….
Speaking of which, he had fled into the Wilderness in a sorry state because of his bet with Her Majesty Empress Wu.
Octopus was sighing when he heard Luo Nan say, "Horn Demon's attitude is very suspicious. I need to ponder it a bit. But I'm not too familiar with this person. I won't be able to raise any problems even if I go. In any case, Brother Octopus was involved from start to finish. Some things can be relayed by him. "
"Hey!"
"There's one more thing. It's more important to me." Luo Nan's gaze turned to He Yueyin. "Horn Demon said that I can't afford the transaction …."
He Yueyin understood. "Mr. Luo Yuandao's Wilderness Laboratory."
"Yes. I heard my aunt say that when Grandfather was in the Wilderness, he migrated with the tribe of vagrants. There were many laboratories of various sizes, but most of them were abandoned. The ones that survived were all seized by the Scientific Research Ethics Committee and resold to various Wilderness Research Institutes. If there really is a laboratory that survived and buried notes or other clues in the ruins, I really want to know …. "
Luo Nan rambled on, but he finally understood what he meant. He Yueyin nodded, "I will send people to investigate. It won't be hard to investigate large sums of money and credit transactions related to Horn Demon. There will be results soon."
Luo Nan gave a slight nod in thanks, then he slowly walked out the door. Octopus still wanted to persuade her, but He Yueyin stopped him with a look. She only asked, "Do you need me to arrange a car for you?"
"No, I'm fine alone."
Luo Nan walked through the ground floor area of the Shangding Building. Most of the people he saw were members of the branch. Luo Nan might not remember many of them, but the vast majority of the people here had attended Luo Nan's classes. It was rare to see Luo Nan appear at the branch headquarters on normal days. They were surprised, and they greeted him warmly.
For a moment, "Teacher Luo," "Professor Luo," "Boss Luo," and all sorts of other titles rang out.
From beginning to end, Luo Nan didn't say a word. His gaze didn't stray. He walked over quietly, almost indifferently. He had an appearance of keeping strangers away from him. It was hard for the ability users, who were in close contact with him for the first time, to not be able to avoid cursing in their hearts. Those who were a bit more familiar with him found it a bit strange.
"Who provoked Boss Luo this time?"
Luo Nan maintained this state as he boarded the elevator. He chose the closest flying car landing platform. The elevator door closed, and the smooth steel plate reflected his figure, which was as straight as a statue.
Coincidentally, there was no one else in the elevator other than him.
Luo Nan stared fixedly at his reflection in the mirror. His face was stiff and cold, displaying a terrible mood.
This was not fake. Anyone who encountered this sort of thing would be unable to suppress the rage in their hearts. However, the pupil of the mirror that connected with Luo Nan's gaze was calm and restrained to the point that Luo Nan himself felt astonished.
The eyes were the windows to the soul. The soul hidden behind this window seemed to have been waiting for this scene to happen. He had been waiting for it for a long time.
Luo Nan extended his hand and his fingertips streaked across the steel plate. He subconsciously wanted to restore the scene in his heart, but he soon restrained himself. He just nodded at his reflection in the mirror:
"Your reaction is in accordance with normal logic."
This included the words he had said to Octopus and He Yueyin, as well as the request he had made.
"This is the result that the person who planned the so-called 'Treat Plan' wishes to see. But the ultimate goal of deliberately provoking you like this is certainly not just to make you unhappy. He wishes to use this sort of negative emotion to drive you to do certain things. He wishes to control your actions in a disguised way … … What does he want you to do? "
Luo Nan conversed with his own reflection because he was the only one who understood the underlying logic hidden behind all appearances.
What would the angered Luo Nan do under normal circumstances?
Would he chase and kill the horned demon all over the world because of the notebook?
"No. It's impossible for the other side to know about the 'Soul Cloak' and the global mental sensor network. Under the other side's logic, you will be angry and irritable when faced with such a situation, but you will be powerless … … Oh. Maybe the person who planned this doesn't want you to lose your rationality. Because the actions of a person who has lost his rationality are hard to grasp. He can't be called a 'guest', but an 'enemy'. "
The other side will most likely control the heat.
Because of this, the horned demon's opening of the transaction was admittedly a crazy act to vent his malicious emotions. It was clear that he wanted to blackmail people. However, the notebook that was the transaction item was not in his hands at all. It was impossible for him to do something even crazier even if he wanted to.
The roles of the negotiator and the delivery person were separated. This could be considered a type of risk control.
Therefore, there shouldn't be any problems with his grandfather's notebook.
The elevator went up to the middle section of the building. The elevator door opened and someone came in. Luo Nan saw a youth wearing a school uniform standing straight in the middle of the elevator. Luo Nan stared straight ahead and his lips were slightly moving. It was as if he was conversing with an incorporeal spirit.
The scene was awkward for a time … … This was only for the latecomers.
Luo Nan had completely entered a state. He felt his mind grow clearer and clearer. His logic became clearer and clearer. He was like a student who had just stepped into an exam room and suddenly discovered that all the exam questions had been done before. Every single one of them seemed familiar.
He walked onto the landing platform and boarded a flying bug car. He sat in the last row and casually chose a destination. He didn't stop thinking this entire time:
"They're fishing. Grandfather's notebook is just bait, not a 'hook'. If there really is a 'hook', it should be the information that no one has the money to buy. "
"I will bite the bait. It doesn't matter if I know that this is a trap or not. They will let me go to a place to be a 'guest'. They will use a relatively natural method. Perhaps they want to cooperate with me?
"Therefore, the Horn Demon will be pushed out to be a target. They can use 'normal transactions' as a cover. They can start from zero and establish a relationship."
Luo Nan switched back and forth between addressing You You Me Me Me. His mind wasn't chaotic at all. Right now he already had a clear train of thought in his mind to solve the problem. He had a basic framework or 'paradigm'. He looked at the problem in front of him and watched his opponent's move. He was able to predict the corresponding point … … All he needed to do was wait for reality to verify it.
Luo Nan didn't have to wait too long. He Yueyin sent a message on the Psychic Wave Network when the flying bug car took off and landed for the third time between the high-rise buildings: "According to the agreement, the first two sets of notebook for verification have been received."
"That fast?"
"Old You has an old friend in the Hu City branch. He's trustworthy. He's not far away, so I asked him to take care of it. This is a live video … … "
And so Luo Nan saw two notebooks with relatively obvious defects. The contact that Old You requested was wearing gloves. He carefully flipped through the pages that were already somewhat sticky.
Luo Nan recognized with a glance that the clear and blurry handwriting on each page was the handwriting of his grandfather, Luo Yuandao.
"That's right. It's this."
Luo Nan didn't just use video verification. His mental sensing network also followed the relevant location information and quickly locked onto the location. He did even more.
In fact, the sensing network of Hu City was simultaneously displaying information from multiple levels and multiple angles. Aside from the two notebooks that were already exposed on the surface, the Horn Demon who was gorging himself in a restaurant near the special effects production base and Luo Yuan who was about to enter the airport all left clear and continuous traces of their actions on the sensing network.
Luo Nan even used a near omniscient view mode and a bit of luck to discover the 'delivery person' who was nervously setting up twenty kilometers away from the first delivery location. Of course, he also carried other notebooks with him. Basically, the protective measures were quite complete.
His conjecture matched with reality.
If Luo Nan wanted to, he could snatch the remaining notebooks right now and make this kidnapping and blackmail deal go to hell.
But Luo Nan didn't make any further moves, just like when he let the Horn Demon go. But this time there was no fear or helplessness in his heart. What replaced it was a peculiar feeling of anticipation.
He needed further verification, but he wouldn't be satisfied with just verification. This game of chess had just begun. Of course, it wouldn't do to simply watch people make their moves. But to directly flip the chessboard right now was truly a reckless waste of God's gifts … …
Yes, this description was correct.
Luo Nan had heard of an even more straightforward description. It came from a fellow psychic, Gao Meng, Gao Tianshi. It seemed to be a bit more appropriate: "Playing with the spirit of divination, being able to lift up the skirt of the Goddess of Fate and see the beautiful outline of the future. It's not an easy thing to do! Every time this happens, I don't even have time to enjoy her flirting. How can I destroy it so easily … … There's no need to talk about good things. Even if it's a bad thing, I'll grind it to the very end. Then I'll play with a heart-pounding reversal. It'll feel good enough to the bone. Then I won't waste this trip! "
Back then, Luo Nan just laughed with his head down. He didn't express his opinion. But honestly speaking, he was in a leisurely and fascinated state at the time. He silently gave it a few thumbs up.
