The manta ray was wrapped in the whistling air current and crossed over the viewing platform. It turned slightly sideways and its flat body passed through the frame structure. In the wave-like fluctuations of the water, it lost its momentum and hovered over the pool, slowly lowering its height.
Ronan's feet didn't move, and the manta ray incited its back muscles, like a conveyor belt, to send him down. He only stumbled slightly when it slipped from the edge of the pectoral fin and long wing.
Xue Lei had been waiting aside for a long time and stepped forward to support him in time. He was only wearing a thin crew-neck shirt, but he was sweating all over. It wasn't until Ronan's arm was firmly held that he breathed a sigh of relief, but another wave of anger came back:
"Nanzi, are you crazy?"
Before the end of this sentence was finished, the following words suddenly dropped an octave: "Eye..."
"fine."
Ronan signaled the manta ray to sink into the sea, heaven and earth, and enter the central crystal column. He also broke away from Xue Lei's support, and walked to a slightly drier place by the pool with the water coming up.
When he first landed, Ronan's eyes were still slightly hot and painful, but after blinking a few more times, the cool late autumn wind blew by, and soon there was a layer of coolness, like a rolling ball, like a water film, which moistened the eyes. It seeps down layer by layer. There was still some tingling and irritating feeling in the middle, but it was greatly reduced after a while. Instead, the coolness in the eye sockets, between the eyebrows, forehead, and face was very comfortable.
Ronan thought it was nothing serious. The electro-optical coupling between the two gears could be either tearing or repairing. At present, the control is still not very precise. Maybe the first wave was damage and various tears, but the next wave of electric light is generated and it can be welded; conversely, it may also explode just after it gets better.
But since it is coupled, information exchange and synchronization are natural, and the probability is still changing for the better. As time goes by, the feeling becomes more and more obvious.
This is just Ronan's own idea. When Xue Lei saw Ronan's pupils, they didn't have the same taste.
Xue Lei seemed to see the eyes of some kind of cold-blooded animal. Although they did not have narrow pupils, they were surrounded by dense cracks, just like glass balls that could be shattered at any time.
Seeing this scene, Xue Lei instinctively shuddered and immediately took Ronan to the hospital for examination. But after turning around for a moment, the qi energy on the other side was surging, making his eyelids twitch hard.
Xue Lei calmed down, followed the Qi sense, and looked over again. The broken cracks were still there, but they looked like cracked ice. It looked dark at first glance, but there was a cold light inside. Occasionally, the light waves jumped, like tearing. The electric fire in the night sky was dazzling.
Facing these strange eyes, he didn't know what to say for a moment, and subconsciously handed over the notebook in his hand.
This was Ronan's paginated note. When he jumped onto the back of the devil fish, he threw it on the platform and was picked up by Xue Lei. Now it has returned to its original owner.
Ronan held the leather cover and smiled, unable to conceal his exhaustion.
Xue Lei's tone softened: "Let's go check it out."
"Okay." Ronan knew that this would inevitably happen, so he readily agreed. Turning his eyes, he saw the woman wearing Xue Lei's Tao uniform on the leisure bench by the pool. He couldn't help but wonder, "Senior Sister Tian is still there?"
When Tian Si heard Ronan calling her name, she bit her lower lip slightly and raised her head. Her lips were so white that there was no blood, and her expression was a little dull. She didn't know whether it was the cold that had more effect or the power of fear.
She was held hostage by someone's throat and was about to die several times. Then she fell into the Haitian Pool and her whole body was soaked. The knitted clothes were extremely heavy when they entered the water. When they came out, the cold wind blew and they were extremely cold again. Moreover, her shoes had already fallen into the Haitian Pond, and her slender legs were only wearing silk stockings, which were stained by the cold and wet ground. She was in a miserable state.
It was late autumn, and the chill was deep. Although Xue Lei was kind enough to give me a Taoist robe to warm me up, I still had my arms and legs crossed, unable to hide the chill.
Xue Lei whispered: "She may have been too frightened and had some stress reactions. She just stayed here without moving. No matter how she tried to persuade her, it would not work."
Ronan frowned after hearing this, not knowing how to deal with it. When my vision shifted, I saw that the viewing platform had obviously been cleaned up. The corpses of the black beetle and the informant were gone, the tourists who had been cleared out and were unconscious had been moved, and the traces of the battle had been cleaned up.
Xue Lei understood and whispered: "Not long after you left, Secretary He arrived. He cleaned up the place and arranged for Brother Zhou to take care of it here."
At the end of the pool, a calm man about forty years old was walking this way. He was the Zhou Hu that Xue Lei mentioned. He is one of He Yueyin's bodyguards and a confidant. He has met Ronan twice. He is also Baohu's comrade, so he is no stranger to him.
"Brother Zhou." Ronan put aside Tian Si's matters and greeted politely.
Zhou Hu has always been steady and decent in his words and deeds: "Mr. Luo, according to Miss He's instructions, I will be waiting by your side tonight to do some chores. If you need anything, just give me your instructions."
Ronan didn't refuse and nodded in thanks.
Zhou Hu glanced at Tian Si, and he probably knew the situation, so he lowered his voice and said, "Miss He said, this person must have been severely suppressed and is still struggling in the hostage situation..."
After hearing this, Ronan thought about it again and took two steps forward.
They were close, but everything else was fine. When he saw Ronan's ice-cracked pupils, Tian Si shrank back, but soon he was shocked again. He suppressed his fear and moved forward, looking up. Terrified and pitiful:
"Junior brother, I'm sorry..."
At this time, Tian Si didn't look as calm and cheerful as usual?
Ronan frowned and leaned down slightly: "Senior sister, it's too cold, go change clothes. Then let's talk again, okay?"
At this time, he had already used almost hypnotic methods. Tian Si hummed subconsciously, but his spirit was inevitably still a little dazed.
When Ronan saw this, he said: "Leizi, please accompany her..."
Xue Lei shook his head fiercely. He had hardly done anything tonight. Just when he was regretting it, he made up his mind to stay with Ronan.
"Come on, let's go together." Ronan originally had no special views on Tian Si, but because of the gears and the coupling theory, his attitude was completely different.
There is a large shopping mall inside Haitian Yundu, which is very convenient if you want to change clothes. And he had previously climbed onto the slippery back of the stingray and put out fires in the gears. His body was covered in mud and dust, his white coat was already in disarray, and his face probably didn't look good and needed to be cleaned.
The group of people took the elevator down and headed to the shopping mall.
Ronan had no intention of meeting up with He Yueyin and others immediately, mainly because the internal channel of Lingbo Network, which had just been built, was almost full of noisy information.
His previous impulsive behavior was supported by a large number of photos and videos pulled from the Internet. Afterwards, Ronan didn't know how to respond.
When he was emotionally excited, he wished he could tell everyone in the world about the greatness of his mother's works. But now that his emotions have ebbed and his rationality has returned, he also understands that the secrets contained in it are not suitable for external communication in any case.
How to deal with it is really a troublesome matter.
But now he was too tired to use his brain, so he might as well just be more willful and talk slowly.
Xue Lei had something to say about Ronan's actions, but didn't open his mouth; Zhou Hu completely followed Ronan's arrangements. As for Tian Si, he is more like a marionette, whatever Ronan says is what he wants.
The group arrived at the 101st floor and found a nearby brand store to buy clothes.
Ronan just washed his face, threw away his white coat, and made do with the rest. As for Tian Si, no matter how he made it, it would still take some time. The three men were waiting in the store.
Just at this time, Xie Junping called and asked, "Why are you going?"
Ronan glanced at the dazzling array of women's clothing: "Buying clothes."
The person opposite was obviously choked, and he paused before asking: "Where is Lei Zi?"
"Being with me...what's wrong?"
Xie Junping laughed: "Nothing, nothing, I just asked. You two suddenly disappeared. Tang Yi came here just now and couldn't find you."
But Ronan remembered something. He turned slightly and glanced at the most eye-catching decoration outside the store - the central crystal pillar that ran through more than 140 floors. Manta rays were swimming inside, attracting Many guests stopped to watch.
"Ask Yao Feng for me, what is the approximate price of that deformed manta ray?"
"As expected...cough cough cough, it's okay, I'm a little choked."
He suddenly raised his voice and suppressed it forcefully, which is what Xie Junping has ended up with now. The second half of his sentence was to deal with his companion over there. After turning around, he pressed his throat hard and couldn't help but tremble, probably because he was excited:
"Nanzi, you, you, you...are you really you? Do you know that the Internet is going to explode? Yao Feng just got the news and is in a state of panic. By the way, he probably didn't recognize you!"
"Then he's really slow."
Ronan didn't want to say much for the time being, and reminded Xie Junping: "I'll be there in a moment, don't forget to ask me the price."
After saying that, he hung up the communication.
Ronan admitted that asking Yao Feng for the price was an impulsive idea. He really likes the experience of overlooking the gears from the air, feeling its mysteries and appreciating the beauty of the architecture. If he can get it, it is of course the most ideal.
Of course, there are more practical factors.
The aberrant manta ray's physical strength is powerful, and its body is extremely flexible, very maneuverable, and quite versatile. It can largely replace his fragile body and do some confrontational work.
In the next period of time, whether he has this "weapon" with him is the key to whether he can survive.
Ronan was really tired, so he simply sat on the shoe-trying stool in the clothing display area, opened his notebook, and the imitation paper soft screen lit up.
He subconsciously opened the second layer of the drawing software. The brilliant galaxy almost dazzled his eyes. The coupling effect of the eyesight mind lamp almost swept away the turbid dark clouds in the galaxy, reflecting the eight poles and forming many life sketches. Hundreds of constellations rise and fall around the gestalt, and the vast star map can almost melt people's hearts into it.
Ronan didn't take a closer look, just sighed, went back to the upper level of the software, casually created a blank interface, and drew lines with the electronic pen. He started and then paused. There were so many threads and he didn't know how to lay out his pen.
Xue Lei stood on the side and suddenly said: "Nanzi, your order club, please transfer me there too."
