Chapter 43: Secret Order (Part ?) (2/2)
There were no sofas, chairs, or the like in the room. There were only a few mats. Everyone was casually sitting on the ground, playing and fooling around. There were twenty to thirty of them.
However, these people were already under the influence of their own drugs, now they were also influenced by Octopus's Hallucinogens. Their consciousnesses were chaotic. Whether these boys and girls were hugging each other, whether they were laughing or crying, they were completely ignorant of changes in the external world.
The result was far too extreme. Even Octopus didn’t expect this. He acted in a fluster to adjust his drug compositions to prevent derangement from arising in this group.
Cat Eyes uttered some words to him, tossing the drunkard to the ground in passing: “Hurry up. They’re already outside the door.”
Someone knocked on the door while she was talking. Then the door opened and a server entered in with a nod. When he saw this scene, he actually had an appearance containing zero surprise and stood straight very naturally. They server spoke to Octopus, who still possessed a clear mind:
“Guests have arrived……”
Luo Nan’s party of people already walked inside before he could finish talking.
“Oh hey! Lil’ Nanster!”
Octopus ignored the matter with the drugs. He met Luo Nan with an appearance of being pleasantly surprised with seeing a close friend of many years. He welcomed Luo Nan with great laughter and gave Luo Nan an extremely strong hug.
This clumsy and lifeless acting made He Yueyin frown just looking at it.
Anyway, the server really didn’t discover anything wrong, leaving after Zhang Yingying accepted the fruit platter and red wine. The objective of taking over someone else’s room, like a dove occupying a magpie’s nest, was completed.
Luo Nan coughed and pushed away Octopus, ceasing the patting, which was overflowing with cordialness, as well. Luo Nan looked around inside the room and saw how messy the circumstances were. He didn’t know what he should say for quite some time.
Zhang Yingying casually pinched a piece of fruit and sent it down her mouth to taste. She spoke ambiguously: “Do you feel very disappointed? It seemed you nearly became one of them.”
Luo Nan responded without thinking: “It seems that there are many places that could use me. Looks likes there’s nothing to fear about a lack of positions.”
“Huh?”
Luo Nan no longer paid attention to Zhang Yingying. He turned towards Octopus with a laugh: “Bro Octopus. This composition of drugs is quite splendid. Give me some pointers in the future, kay?”
Octopus was completely lost. He could only chuckle: “You’re flattering me. You’re flattering me.”
Cat Eyes shot them a cold glance and let out some shots: “Bunch of trash.”
Their group turned from being guests to hosts, chatting away in the room. But He Yueyin didn’t forget the most important matter from start to finish. As she surveyed the decorations in the room and the figures on the walls, her eyebrows furrowed tighter and tighter.
She stepped over a body lying horizontally on the ground and walked in front of the center projection equipment. She carefully examined the medieval style lighting fixture.
Luo Nan no longer squandered time with Zhang Yingying and the others at this time. He continued to observe with his senses, paying attention to the patterned lines on the floor, which were rather gorgeous.
Under the cover of human bodies, the broken and continuous lines of patterns ran through the connections of several geometric figures, leading towards the concentrated mass in the center.
Ultimately, Luo Nan’s gaze was cast towards the lighting fixture, and it just so happening to collide with He Yueyin’s gaze.
“Mr. Luo?”
Luo Nan gave her a nod: “The Human-Faced Arachnid should have appeared here……”
