Chapter 76: The Tower of Babel (Part 2/2) (2/2)

Perhaps Jack would eventually discover this problem, but Luo Nan wouldn’t allow Jack the chance to resolve it.

Take the boundary between the material plane and the mental plane to be a water’s surface for instance. Jack, this fat fish that resided in the material plane, was endlessly leaping out through the water’s surface to breathe in fresh air.

Luo Nan was like a patient hunter waiting for his prey to exit the water to the greatest degree.

He even prepared a special weapon for his prey; the dark chains and the wraith sign glowed with a subtle light.

Obviously, the weapon that Luo Nan prepared was the Siege Hammer. The Human-Faced Arachnid was directly participating in order to maintain the attack’s effectiveness. However, there was a change right now that fell outside of Luo Nan’s plans.

The Human-Faced Arachnid was in the middle of recovery when it changed its attitude of avoidance towards Jack; it actually became a bit restless. When Jack’s form of life transformed, this Darksider life form’s view changed from Jack’s nature being “completely unable to be eaten” to being “maybe it could give him a try”.

More importantly, within the depths of Jack’s soul was another “spiritual seed” being nurtured. While it was true that this seed was far in purity from Rui Wen’s seed, which was untainted by even a speck dust, it changed Jack’s flavor to be like a meat that was sprinkled with a bit of hot pepper. It could be eaten with some effort.

In spite of its current weak state, the Human-Faced Arachnid struggled once more and transformed into a somewhat illusory figure. It made its intense desire to consume clear to its master in this way.

Luo Nan was somewhat hesitant.

Then the HexaEar transmitted information through the Psychic Wave Network onto the mental plane while Luo Nan was pondering. Luo Nan’s soul body received this information.

It was a format that was both energy and information. It was traveling on both the mental and material plane. What the HexaEar was doing far exceeded Jack’s current level. Luo Nan could confirm that the HexaEar was encoding the energy and information; a typical wiretapping wouldn’t cause any effects.

However, even though the psychic waves were encoded, they weren’t traceless. In particular, the unique waveband that transitioned from the material plane to the mental plane was like a light breeze blowing across the surface of a lake. There would be some special ripples left behind on the material plane.

Luo Nan was unable to feel this before, but he became more and more sensitive to this after grasping the key to soul breathing. Right now he was a bit displeased though.

This was because Jack wasn’t an ordinary person.

Jack’s holeless observation abilities were gradually increasing. This weak ripple didn’t escape Jack’s attention. Various detection instruments assembled together in an instant to actively probe various wavebands, seemingly burning a hole through the void.

But this was useless. Currently, Luo Nan’s soul body had absolute dominance over the mental plane. He could probe on a deeper and subtle level. In comparison, Jack’s human-made devices were far too crude even if some were able to probe onto the mental plane. No matter their precision, their scope, they were far from meeting the demands necessary to seize Luo Nan’s existence.

And so Luo Nan was able to receive the signals with ease. He used this sort of method to provoke Jack’s sensitive nerves.

He Yueyin was on the other side: “Scout. The target has been locked on. You can rest your soul-attached crow for the time being. Concentrate on observing the various sniper positions in the surroundings. Mr. Bai will contact you in a bit.”

Crag Burst’s muffled laughter was transmitted across. Clearly, he had seen through He Yueyin’s schemes of abusing her authority.

Luo Nan disregarded He Yueyin’s proposal. He had forced his “soul-attached crow” to fly over from the DeShang Building. The journey had been nearly fifty kilometers long, but the crow hadn’t even spent half an hour; its speed exceeded a hundred kilometers per hour. The crow's energy was over drafted no matter how one looked at it. It was highly likely that this would lead to unforeseen consequences to the state of the attached soul. No wonder He Yueyin had expressed her dissatisfaction in this manner.
