Zhang Yingying was startled. "What do you mean?"
Luo Nan's gaze drifted erratically between the sea and the sky: "What I mean is that we might have been targeted … … At the very least, that Ox Demon has certainly been targeted by something. Of course, I'm not talking about that 'Battleship Slicing Blade'. "
"It's not the 'Battleship Slicing Saber'. Are you saying that the 'Battleship Slicing Saber' is under someone's control?"
"Yeah, he probably wants to rush to the periphery." Luo Nan responded unhurriedly. Right now his attention only occasionally swept across the scene of the pursuit. The vast majority of his attention was cast towards the gloomy clouds in the sky.
Influenced by him, Zhang Yingying also looked up at the sky. "Up there?"
Luo Nan answered honestly, "I'm not sure. I just feel like I'm being spied on. Perhaps I can ask Her Majesty Empress Wu for guidance."
"Wait a minute, you said 'maybe'. Both you and the boss are not sure?" Zhang Yingying blinked her eyes. She finally grasped the main point of Luo Nan's words. "Hey. Think about the Cage Theory. You can't just randomly spout these words!"
"That is the truth."
Luo Nan extended his hand and water vapor condensed on his fingertips. It seemed that he wanted to write something, but in the end, he dispersed it. "Contact is a violation. It's one-sided … … The other party has done it quite brilliantly."
Zhang Yingying opened her mouth again, but before she could say anything, several messages had already exploded in the group. Not only did they come at the same time, but the content was also surprisingly consistent.
"Extraordinary?!"
"No way!" Zhang Yingying couldn't accept it.
According to the explanation of Luo Nan's Prison Theory, being able to exert unilateral monitoring on the mental plane proved that one possessed a clear advantage in the depth and breadth of mental senses.
And who was the one being monitored?
Luo Nan, the world-renowned master of mental senses. He was suspected to be an Extraordinary.
Her Majesty Empress Wu was a genuine Extraordinary.
To be able to make the two of them feel that it was troublesome and that they couldn't find the source of the problem, they could only look for an opponent at the Extraordinary level. Not only was he an Extraordinary, but he was also a master of the Mental Side, which was beyond imagination …
"It's not that exaggerated."
Luo Nan knew that Zhang Yingying and the others were overthinking things. He explained a bit more: "The opponent's senses aren't direct. It's just that it's very good at using the medium. The Battleship Slicing Blade was one of the mediums. Many of the surrounding fish and mutants were the same.
"We still can't figure out where the other party is because a large portion of these living beings have already been tampered with. They are equivalent to preset sensors. In this way, exposing ourselves to these guys is equivalent to exposing ourselves to that person's eyes.
"These 'sensors' only send out signals. They are everywhere, in the sky and under the sea. It's a mess. The one responsible for the surveillance should have a special frequency receiver that could receive and decode the signals. We can find the transmitter, but we can't find the receiver … that's all. "
Some of the more technical details didn't need to be discussed. Luo Nan just summarized: "In short, we've been tagged. There's a high possibility that it's an Extraordinary, but it's a strong enemy. Let's keep watching. "
Zhang Yingying asked, "What's the reason?"
"There's the factor of distance. The Psionic wave signal sent out should be very suitable for long-distance transmission, just like radio or infrasonic waves. From the looks of it, the monitor might be very far away.
"In addition, I feel that if they really have bad intentions towards us, they wouldn't have exposed themselves just because of a cow ghost … If it weren't for the Battleship Slicing Blade receiving a clear command to pursue, it would be very hard for me to detect the fishy nature of these mutants."
"Unfortunately, the command was very short. It was only for a moment. By the time I reacted, it would be hard for me to pursue them."
Zhang Yingying still wanted to get to the bottom of things: "In the end, what kind of trick is this?"
"It's similar to a transformation of a prosthetic? It's quite complicated to explain in detail. To put it simply, it's like inserting an antenna … Uh, wouldn't it be more intuitive to say that it's a parasite? "
"The phenomenon of parasites is quite common in the ocean." Zhang Yingying seemed to understand, but she didn't. "You're saying that the other side is using some sort of parasite to achieve the purpose of receiving and sending signals …. My god, what do you think!?"
Luo Nan shrugged: "I'll just observe more. Plus, this is just a preliminary result. I feel like this is the case. I'll have to follow up and observe the specifics. I'll tell you later? "
"Uh, no need. No need." Zhang Yingying waved her hand over and over again.
It was a bit difficult for the others to sort out clear clues from Luo Nan's words. Comparatively speaking, it was easier for them to open their minds.
"It can't really be …. That, right?" Papercut began to brood over his own words. He grew more and more unwilling to speak.
"How could there be such a coincidence!? Didn't you just say that Diamond K is mainly active in the South Pacific? Nanster has been heading north ever since he left Di City. The routes have been staggered. "
The more Octopus put forth his arguments, the more guilty he gave others.
"Diamond K, Poseidon."
Luo Nan had heard of this legendary Mutant before. However, he was influenced by ancient myths and unconsciously thought of this fellow as a human. Now that he recalled the relevant information, he was actually unable to recall a more concrete image.
He asked Meng Chong, who was beside him: "What species did Poseidon mutate from? A whale?"
"Uh, there's no specific image."
This statement was more or less outside of Luo Nan's expectations: "No?"
Meng Chong nodded slightly: "Yes. Legend has it that when Poseidon appears, there will always be gales and huge waves in the ocean. Large amounts of marine life are the precursors. He is one with the ocean. He is extremely mysterious …."
Meng Chong looked at the ocean when he spoke to this point. He was suddenly unable to continue speaking. A series of dull or dark emojis were sent in the group.
Zhang Yingying glared at him: "Old Meng, you're doing this on purpose!"
Meng Chong lowered his eyelids: "That's what the relevant information says."
Zhang Yingying choked. She was actually unable to refute.
Luo Nan was very curious: "No one has ever seen his true appearance? Then how do you know if he's Poseidon or not? If someone wants to kill someone and steal their goods, they can just use a storm to push the blame onto him. Isn't that a bit too easy? "
"The truth is that it's very easy to confuse. It's said that within the small circle of Extraordinaries, there are ways to distinguish if someone is Poseidon or not. However, there are also people who are very good at using this method. For example, Nick, the most vicious and evil pirate Extraordinaire. It's said that he used Poseidon's name to do many priceless transactions. "
"I think I've heard of this person before, but for an Extraordinaire to be a pirate …."
Zhang Yingying sneered: "It's because he did too many shitty things on shore, causing everyone to join forces to hunt him down. He could only hide in the ocean."
"Don't stray from the topic. Don't stray from the topic."
"Isn't talking about Poseidon straying from the topic? I really want to run a bit …. "
Meng Chong continued to return to the topic of Poseidon amidst Zhang Yingying's grumbling: "Because of Poseidon's mysterious characteristics, a kind of worship has developed in Ti City, Tu City, and other ocean cities. A few small mysterious orders have formed, and they revere him as the Will of the Ocean. Most of them are fragmented and unsystematic. But even under these circumstances, some rituals and rituals are effective, and they are quite consistent. "
"With this evidence, we can basically be certain that there is some sort of Extraordinaire power 'watching' the past in the domain of orders …. Ah, I'm sorry. This is too anthropomorphic. Perhaps it's more objective to call it 'resonance'."
Luo Nan keenly grasped the strand of meaning within Meng Chong's words: "You're comparing the Will of the Ocean and the Will of the Bloodflame?"
Meng Chong hesitated for a moment, but he still said: "The personification of faith has never been what we want."
Luo Nan nodded: "The vast majority of the world doesn't change based on people's desires …. However, in a place as small as Earth, I also feel that it's very tasteless to call oneself a god."
Everyone could hear that Luo Nan's words had stirred something, but no one could guess the specific trigger.
Whether it was the front deck or the group of friends, no one responded for a time.
In the end, Luo Nan laughed: "Since you're not sure which one it is, then don't put your mind into pondering over the most troublesome part. Poseidon certainly isn't the only Extraordinaire level Mutant in the Pacific Ocean, right? "
"That's true. Just the South Pacific alone is a bit more active. You can put together a table of mahjong."
"Uh, I won't play mahjong with them today."
Zhang Yingying gave him a virtual kick: "Forget it. I'll go ask the boss and see what she says. Maybe she already knows what's going on."
Meng Chong spoke at practically the same time: "Mister, it won't be easy to disperse the shoals of fish and Mutants that have followed us. But it's best to specially deal with that cow ghost …."
What Meng Chong said was a prudent argument.
It was very clear that the cow ghost was a key point. Before the other side showed any obvious hostility, it might be better for both sides to chase the unstable factors far away.
Luo Nan went "Oh," before he could respond.
Not too far away on the surface of the sea, the cow ghost made another turn as it fled. It practically stuck to the front of the enormous waves stirred up by the gales ahead. It was like a qinggong expert chasing a cicada in eight steps on a precipitous wall. With a few successive strokes, it borrowed the force of the waves to quickly make a turn. It stuck to the enormous waves that had already rolled inward, narrowly avoiding the pursuit from behind.
Right now its direction was already parallel to the direction of the yacht.
Comparatively speaking, the Battleship Slicing Blade was reckless. Its charging momentum didn't decrease in the slightest as it forcibly pierced through the enormous waves. It was as if it was a thin piece of paper.
Similar scenes had already occurred many times before. One didn't need to look to know that the Mutant Blade Eel would once again cleave through the enormous waves in less than half a second to slaughter its way back.
Therefore, the cow ghost, which had just avoided a calamity, didn't stop at all. Its eight sharp limbs lightly sliced across the surface of the sea. Neither the waves nor the Mutants within the waves were able to obstruct it in the slightest. It chased the side of the yacht, and in a few moments, it had snatched some distance from the bow of the yacht. It was about to begin its next round of detours.
But this time, it didn't snatch it.
It was as if a solid wall had suddenly been erected in the air in front of the yacht. It was formless and colorless, but it was harder than steel. This fellow's head smashed into it, and its entire body shook violently. It wasn't able to move even a millimeter forward in space.
Practically all of the rebounding force acted on its body. It only stiffened for an instant before going limp. The yacht just happened to catch up to it at high speed, sending it flying. It then ran over it a second time, submerging it within the dense flood of seawater and living beings.
