Chapter 132: Perhaps of the Truth (Part 2/2) (2/2)

The information that came in was just as Ouyang Chen had described. It was similar to an image; it was just far more complicated. A unidirectional perspective or three-dimensional figure could not describe it. After Luo Nan analyzed it, it was as if someone had squeezed him into an immersion VR device. Luo Nan personally experienced the complicated nature and the abundant content of the image.

This was where the benefits of communicating on the mental plane laid. Soon, Luo Nan understood that this was the structural design drawing of the Logic World.

After sorting through the general outline, Luo Nan instantly felt that the structural patterns of the Logic World were like thick sponge mats. The mats gated off in all directions and were stacked three, four layers inside out for each side. Then, the layers pressed together from the outermost layer.

Luo Nan could represent the material plane, while the sponge mats represented the mental plane. Force was exerted on the high levels of the mental plane to forcefully warp the structure of the folded layers. This ripped apart the separation between extremely distant regions of the mental plane, which allowed them to directly interfere with the material plane.

This was probably how it worked. Luo Nan understood the basic principles of erecting the Logic World. Of course, actually doing so was another thing. It was absolutely not easy... It was not even worth thinking of attempting if one did not possess the strength of an Extraordinary.

Moreover, how many layers of sponge mats were there? Does the thickness of the mats pose an issue?

From what Luo Nan could tell with his own senses, the mental plane was a multi-layered structure, but it describing as thousands of layers of curtains would be more accurate. Especially since this feeling grew stronger the deeper he delved into the mental plane. No matter how the layers overlapped; no matter how they fluttered and shook.

Well, Ouyang Chen had sent the structural drawing of a simplified model for the Logic World. How much harder would calculating the distortion of several thousand layers be when compared to calculating the distortion of a few layers? Even if Ouyang Chen sent over the calculations, Luo Nan probably would be unable to receive such a mass of information.

Luo Nan had found a rational explanation, and his mind calmed down quite a bit. Though a small mistake would lead to a huge difference in the result even when he used the model, Ouyang Chen did not expect precision from him.

He thought about it broadly and telepathically drew a circle upon this image. He felt that this region was the most suitable location for the demon. He felt that this one circle would require him to comb through over a hundred 'curtains' to verify the demon's existence. If Luo Nan had the misfortune of the target 'curtain' to drift away during this time... Then the only ending would be all his efforts going down the drain.

After Luo Nan drew the circle, he felt that his solution was unreliable. However, Ouyang Chen was quite pleased with it. ”The direction is quite convincing. We can give it a shot. If it doesn't work, we can do more research.”

”But...”

When Luo Nan released this thought, the turmoil on the mental plane, which had lessened substantially, suddenly ignited once more. The enemy that had covered An Weng's trail with the mental storm attacked the 'quelling cliff' time and time again to no avail. The enemy switched to a different method and began to jump back and forth between various regions of the mental plane. Sometimes, the enemy even touched the material plane. Rolling clouds gave birth to waves that directly affected the existence of the Logic World.

Everyone could tell that the complete collapse of the Logic World was only a matter of time.

Ouyang Chen stopped wasting time speaking and did not consult Luo Nan for his opinion anymore. He took the bit of strength that he used to protect Luo Nan's mental senses and made a subtle change. He took Luo Nan and his mental senses that had stirred up quite a bit of trouble tonight and expelled him from the Logic World.

By the time Luo Nan came back to reality, he had found his soul body floating in the area of the building complex in the real world. Unlike the smashed state of Frost River Reality in the Logic World, it was unscathed in reality. It shrunk into the cover of darkness.

However, Luo Nan's star river scene turned more and more confusing.

It was only now that Luo Nan discovered the clash between the strong. It was not merely limited to the Logic World. Their power possessed a penetrating and stable nature that was astonishing; they forcefully broke through the barrier of the Logic World. The resulting shock waves passed onto this plane.

Even though Luo Nan could not evoke enough power with his mental senses, the structure of his Life Sketches received real effects. The pressure was mounting.

Without needing much thought, Luo Nan began to rapidly reduce his sensing range. From his perspective, he could do this in a single effort of will. However, he soon felt something wrong.

Life Sketches composed the scene of the star river, and Luo Nan drew it personally. This was not something that Luo Nan could withdraw from with will alone. He could not delete it with his will alone. The corresponding information was already deeply engraved in his mind, and this caused Luo Nan to receive real influences himself.

Energy and information exchanged on the mental plane. Expanding the range of one’s mental senses did not come with any difficulties. However, the instant Luo Nan retracted his mental senses, he compressed complicated information. They swept over his soul body.

Whether it be his soul or his main body dozens of kilometers away, they all shook violently.

Luo Nan was already familiar with this kind of feeling. Every time the altar frame completed a sacrificial ritual successfully, every time the Wraith Sign reaped some gains in a hunt, corresponding energy and information would always be fed back to Luo Nan.

His soul was becoming stronger. When this happened, troubles always followed like a shadow following a body. This time, the troubles seemed to be even bigger than before.

Before, the limits of his soul body's endurance had yet to be tested. This time, things were completely different. Before Luo Nan could retract the range of his senses by even a half, the feelings of swelling, rupturing, and dizziness magnified endlessly. A bad omen of a runaway effect appeared within the operation of the convergence of energy and information.

There was something even more deadly as well. The clash between the strong on the mental plane was stuffing a bunch of useful and useless energy and information into the equation.

His soul body had reached its limits! Or in other words, the operational structure of energy and information, also known as the Soul Configuration, had reached the cap of the amount of energy and information it could process.

There was a great amount of information. The lost of control and the disorder caused the boundaries between information to blur and mix together.

Which information was his self? Which information was his own consciousness?

Which information was his surrounding insignificant memories and impressions?

These things were all kneaded into one spot. They interfered with each other and affected each other. Soon, it seemed that his soul would stop working.

No, that absolutely could not happen!

Luo Nan knew that regardless of what happened next, he needed a buffer. He needed a way to discharge this flood... He could not think of anything else at this moment but the successes he had in the past.

The external neuron!

A lightning bolt cleaved through the sea of his mind and Luo Nan's physical body sprung up in the vehicle. It fell back down again and began exhibiting death convulsions.

The values of the medical monitoring instruments at the scene rose and fell sharply. The values did not go straight down. Instead, they bounced up and down and went off the charts. It was as if the instruments had entered strong magnetic field. The numbers they gave were no longer worth anything.

Everyone was startled and baffled in the vehicle, be it Bai Xinyan, Zhang Yingying, Xue Lei, Red Fox, Cat Eyes, or Papercut. At the same time, a static sound rang in the ears of several members of the Society. The Psychic Wave Network, which had ceased to operate for a while, began to restore communications. Only, the first wave of information transmitted over to them was bizarre.

Within rustling noise like the rise and fall of the tide came two voices in sharp opposition. Thoughts transformed into callous words. ”The Order will purge all who desecrate the Holy Entity...”

”Then let's go to war!” The response was leisurely and calm, as if the previous words were just a breeze blowing past the ear. However, the information within along with the corresponding power and identity of the speaker made the members of the Society who had heard the messages look at each other in dismay.

Then, everybody cast their gazes near-simultaneously on a single person.

What the hell is your boss doing?

Zhang Yingying spread her hands in a helpless shrug. It was rare to see her speechless.
