"I think that the surrounding things are all its nourishment." Luo Nan pointed at the surrounding squirming and giggling human bodies. The Human-Faced Arachnid really did have a special fondness for these negative emotions and desires.
He hesitated for a moment before continuing to speak: "There are also these patterns. They count as magical arrays … … I know very little about the mystic arts. Are there any that I'm good at? "
Zhang Yingying immediately raised her hand from behind: "Does my experience with tarot cards count?"
He Yueyin saw that Luo Nan wanted to say something but hesitated. She directly said: "Right now, Mr. Luo, you are the only one among us who has the qualifications to make a judgment about the Human-Faced Arachnid. There is no need to introduce other explanations."
Zhang Yingying stuck out her tongue. Luo Nan scratched his head, but in the end he continued: "In the beginning, I thought that these decorations, the vines, the patterns, and the magical arrays were all just for show. They had no real meaning. But here, a portion of the patterns seem to have displayed their use. They are like water channels, gathering a portion of energy here … … "
Luo Nan pointed at the projector in the form of a lamp stand.
He didn't need to bring out his psychic abilities. He just needed to use his eyes to do this. The geometric patterns and the lamp stand left behind remnants similar to the dark red spores on the warship, but they were also slowly evaporating.
He Yueyin couldn't see these "residues", but she took out a small and exquisite spray from her pocket and sprayed it on the lamp stand. After two seconds, the light screen that came with the spray flickered with a faint light.
Luo Nan could roughly guess that this should be a special substance similar to the Shadow Mist. It was capable of capturing traces of the Darksider species interfering with the real world.
"Indeed, there are remnants of the relevant rays."
Zhang Yingying walked over at this time. She pressed down on Luo Nan's shoulder and looked at the lamp stand. A while passed before she spoke to He Yueyin, who was carefully observing as well: "The matter seems to be complicated. Does it involve a secret order?"
He Yueyin grunted but didn't immediately respond.
"Secret order?" Luo Nan didn't understand.
"An inexplicable and troublesome organization of lunatics."
Luo Nan stared at her: "You said that ability users don't have secret societies and the like!"
"Nothing is absolute in this world, and it's not a secret society, it's a cult, okay?"
Zhang Yingying saw that He Yueyin didn't respond for a time. She faced Luo Nan and shrugged her shoulders: "Think about it. There are 600,000 ability users in the entire world. The number of people who have a relatively complete cultivation system and have cultivated in a down-to-earth manner is at most a tenth. As for the remaining five hundred thousand or so, many of them have inexplicably acquired certain abilities. If no one guides them in time, many of them will start to become arrogant and consider themselves to be 'new human beings' or 'Children of God'. They think that they are at the peak of mankind and can do whatever they want … That's what happens in many novels and comics, right? "
"Hehe."
"Hehe, it's useless. This is the reality. Of course, most of these idiots would be taught a lesson by the police. If you can't even beat the Exoskeleton Armors, then don't brag about being a Child of God or a Holy Infant. For those who are more troublesome, the Burners of the military will meet them. After that, the Association will communicate with them and welcome them into the organization to correct their worldview. "
Zhang Yingying spread her hands: "But in the end, there are still some very special fellows. They should be considered the gifted among the gifted. They are indeed extremely powerful. Even within the Society, I'm afraid they are the most top-notch. It's not easy to communicate with them. They don't agree with the Society's definition of the ability system. Instead, they have another kind of 'explanation'. But their explanations often use their own abilities to forcefully apply myths, religions, mystic arts, and other existing theories. Or they go wild with their imaginations and change their appearances. The final result is … … establishing sects and religions! "
"There are many secret sects. These people want to put their exotic theories into practice in the world. They want to verify the holes in their imaginations. That's how they establish themselves. The problem is that they themselves are very powerful, but their related theories are very preposterous. If you cultivate according to their theories, most people will die very miserably … … But there's no other way. Magical powers are more awesome than ten thousand sentences of truth. There are still large batches of people who join these sects. They offer their everything and are extremely devout. The government has a huge headache over these things. Of course, the Society has a huge headache as well. "
Luo Nan heard the hidden meaning in her words: "In other words, the Society can't do anything about them."
"It's holding back for fear of hurting the innocent! The leaders of these sects are brainless, but their strength is really very strong. Plus, these sects are deeply rooted in the cities. With the current population density, it would be better to just drop a nuclear bomb in the center of the city if they really were to turn hostile … … Don't doubt me. Think about the Human-Faced Arachnid. There's also the R&D District! "
Luo Nan was speechless for a time. He was a bit spellbound. Could those powerful ability users really possess the terrifying destructive power of a nuclear bomb?
He was stimulated by this information. After coming back to his senses, he simply poured out the series of questions he had been suppressing at the bottom of his heart:
"Then how does the Society define the ability system? In the end, what counts as an Awakened? And what level am I at right now? "
Zhang Yingying's mouth and tongue were already parched from explaining the Secret Order. She was busy eating fruits to replenish herself. She waved her hand when she heard Luo Nan's words, speaking vaguely:
"You already have the HexaEar. Go take a look for yourself."
"......"
"I believe that Mr. Luo has already reached a certain level. He has even surpassed the level of a normal Awakened. However, he is severely biased towards a certain field."
He Yueyin suddenly joined this topic and gave a relatively clear judgment.
Zhang Yingying went "Hey, hey" and cried out: "Let's not talk about this for now. How's the matter with the Order?"
Luo Nan wanted to slap her!
In the end, He Yueyin was a bit more concerned about proper business. She responded: "I've already notified the Society. We'll be retreating for now … …"
"No way? What a strong start and a weak finish? "Octopus, who was hurrying to adjust his medicine, raised his head:" We're disbanding just like this? "
"Actually, a certain Order Leader has already protested against the Society's actions. We've interrupted their Holy Ritual."
Octopus was shocked: "We've been discovered?"
Luo Nan was quite baffled: "How were we discovered?"
Cat Eyes glared at him for no reason at all: "So you're blaming me?"
Zhang Yingying's attention was focused elsewhere: "Holy … … Ritual? Here? "
She simply tossed away the fruit platter, spread her hands, and laughed out loud. She didn't know who was the one who said things like 'fear of harming the innocent' just now.
He Yueyin responded in the calmest manner towards the different reactions of the people in the room:
"There's no reasoning to speak with those Order Leaders. And the methods of the Secret Order really do exceed common sense. In any case, we're dealing with the Human-Faced Arachnid, not the Secret Order. This operation is halted and we're retreating. I will compile all matters into a brief and submit it to the Society. It will be sent to everyone's hands. "
The speech this time was conducted through the Psychic Wave Network. Immediately, the encrypted channel was filled with sighs and strange cries.
Zhang Yingying raised her eyebrows: "This Order Leader has jumped quite high. Are you sure they aren't colluding with the Human-Faced Arachnid or something? What's their name? Show us! "
He Yueyin didn't say anything. She just tilted her head and indicated for Zhang Yingying to look at the center of the room. There was a projection device in the shape of a lamp stand.
It was unknown when, but the burning pink glow of the lamp stand had already disappeared. Instead, a new image appeared on the two sides of the edge.
There were two sets of thin chains hanging down, each pulling a flat plate. One plate was black and the other was white. They were symmetrical and hung motionless in the air, forming the classic form of a scale.
At this moment, Zhang Yingying grinned. She wanted to say something, but she didn't open her mouth in the end.
Instead, Octopus let out a low cry:
