Chapter 142: Interference Ability (Part 2/2)

Translator: Strivon

Naturally, it was impossible to proceed with the practical training within the Simulator. After dealing with Yuan Fei in a simple manner, He Yueyin led Luo Nan out of the Psychic Wave Network to go back to the plane of reality.

Luo Nan opened his eyes, but all he saw was a sheet of darkness. An enclosed helmet, which had underwent special modifications, was covering his head; the immersion boot up hadn't started yet. Luo Nan just gazed into the darkness as emotions flowed around in his mind.

Yuan Fei had come from HQ as part of the Incident Investigation Team. He came to Xia City without understanding the situation around Luo Nan and saw Luo Nan enter the fourth communication layer for a hands-on attempt at the Simulator. Yuan Fei felt that failure was normal for Luo Nan; success would have been abnormal. He merely chuckled at the matter with zero concern.

But Luo Nan was well aware of the imbalance between his own body and soul. He had enough of the stress and pain from the uncontrollable growth of his soul strength. The sudden issue with his lack of interference ability was quite a contradicting phenomenon. It was so contradicting that anyone who knew his situation would be baffled for a time.

He was unable to ponder for too long on this matter, for Bai Xinyan spoke with an exceptionally gentle voice, ”How did the out-of-body state feel within the Psychic Wave Network?”

Luo Nan remained frustrated with his interference ability issue. He wasn't in the mood to answer Bai Xinyan, and he ignored the key elements in her words.

Bai Xinyan just took his actions to be a silent agreement. She let out something like a laugh and a sigh. ”My silly old man seems to be quite enlightened, but truthfully, he's old-fashioned. He only believed that you had the ability of soul-attachment. But now, the past two days have caused his face to become swollen from all the shame. He doesn't dare to show himself...”

Luo Nan only realized now what Bai Xinyan was saying. So it turned out that the misunderstanding regarding his out-of-body ability being a soul-attachment ability was corrected?

Indeed, Mr. Bai didn't show his face these days. From what He Yueyin was saying, it seemed that Mr. Bai was asked to teach Luo Nan but had declined. Everyone knew quite well that his reasons didn't have much to do with Luo Nan. The element of Luo Nan only accounted for a small percentage of his decision.

Luo Nan was disinclined to get involved in the dispute between the father and daughter pair. In any case, seeing how such an unforgiving woman would treat her good-natured old man raised Luo Nan's mental vigilance.

Luo Nan's moment of silence lasted too long, leading Bai Xinyan to misunderstand his thoughts. ”You're not the only kid who gives half-truths, who keeps cards hidden in his hand. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. It's just that you're a bit reckless from a doctor's perspective... Hello, Sister He. I was just talking with your boss. Oh?”

He Yueyin's call was only for Bai Xinyan. Bai Xinyan uttered a questioning tone and sunk into silence. Several seconds passed and the enclosed helmet lit up without warning. The guide process specifically targeting ability users had begun.

Bai Xinyan's last sentence came cutting in: ”Tonight's homework has begun. I hope you don't go goofing off.”

”Hey!?”

Luo Nan didn't want to speak with Bai Xinyan before, but now he couldn't help opening his mouth. Even an idiot would know that the topic He Yueyin and Bai Xinyan were discussing was Luo Nan's insufficient interference ability. He was the person in question; why the heck did they isolate him from the discussion?

He felt like he was in the hospital, and that he was just like a patient diagnosed with a terminal illness. The world knew he was done for, save himself... Hold on. The content of the pessimistic dialogue between the two last time, was it about this?

Luo Nan forgot to accept the guiding process for a time. He remained in a daze. The protection of his external neuron and the buffer of the Hollow Depository were not enough to stop his chaotic thoughts and emotions during times like these.
