Chapter 62: Superiority (Part ?) (1/2)

Chapter 62: Superiority (Part ½)

Luo Nan had witnessed Jack control the entire situation from beginning to end.

It was as if this fellow Jack was holding a remote control that could pause and play. With just the press of a button, the security system of the entire floor, no the entire building, froze.

This scene wasn’t caused by the effects of possessing high access privileges in the DeShang Building for the robots didn’t have any means of detecting privileges. Yet the robots had just given in. They completely lacked the strength to resist.

This made Luo Nan recall the pitiful Tiger Burst Jeep of Crag Burst.

Luo Nan broke his silence at last by using psychic waves to talk: “How did you do that?”

“Oh, now you want to talk?” spoke Jack in irony and ridicule. “Why are you making a huge fuss over nothing? I can control…… Oh, there’s the Darksider life form. I can control machines. It's very fair.”

Jack didn’t refuse to talk, yet he didn’t directly answer Luo Nan.

He didn’t mind responding to Luo Nan a bit more. After all, he felt some brooding in his mind from not being able to trace down the Darksider life form. He needed time to adjust the relevant parameters in his database. He was constantly amending the scope of his detection.

Luo Nan could guess approximately what Jack was up to. Most of Jack’s means of detection required the use of that robotic eye. After all, Jack was even turning his head about without end.

This was good news. It seemed like Jack was very fearful of Darksider life forms. Or perhaps, Jack still felt that Luo Nan was still a threat?

Luo Nan secretly paid this in mind, but now he couldn’t help have the majority of his thoughts turn to the direction of “machine control”.

This was because Jack, as well as the previous actions of Yan Yongbo, had made his mind associate to a different yet similar case:

The underground laboratory in Gear.

More specifically: The external neuron!

Luo Nan was able to confirm that the thin thread in Jack’s brain was really the external neuron, or as Jack called it, the Dynamo Core. This creation, which seemed to exceed the technology of this planet, could transcend all access privileges and directly control and manipulate all information technology at will.

And now new facts told him that this toy was the key to being a Burner, to the Format of Fire, in addition to the above functions.

Such a marvelous creation had actually accompanied him for a period of five years in silence. And, it was mailed into his hands from that coward.

What did this mean? What did this prove?

The gale-like pursuit and escape had made it hard for Luo Nan to devote part of his mind and ponder over this matter. Now that there was a bit of time, relevant thoughts came drilling into the pit of his sternum like a heart-devouring bug.

External neuron? Dynamo Core? Burner? Gang leader? Yan Yongbo? Quantum Corporation….. And, that coward!

The sudden trail of thoughts, the explosion of information, seemed to tie itself into a noose on Luo Nan’s mind. If this knot doesn’t loosen, then Luo Nan’s soul would become asphyxiated.

Luo Nan suddenly felt regret. Maybe he should have let Jack tell a few more stories. He wanted to get things clear by any means necessary. He wanted to know just what sort of relationship existed between Jack the gang leader and that coward!

Luo Nan needed to strive towards this target right now. He did his best to maintain a clear head and used the flattest psychic waves as possible to convey information and probe Jack’s response:
