Since we passed by each other, we were walking towards each other. In other words, this gentleman who observed nothing from the spiritual level walked out from the film and television special effects production base.
Is he an employee here? What a joke, Ronan recognized this person at first sight:
Luo Yuan!
He once built a deformed lair in the center of Xiacheng City, sneaked into Shang Ding Building to assassinate President Ouyang, and almost killed Ronan with an incredible plane crossbow. Although this series of actions ended in failure, it did not damage this person's strength - this was a terrifying extraordinary species, and the only person that Ronan's invincible mental induction could not capture and monitor.
Just like when he was in Xia City, the mental induction network deployed by Ronan failed to capture this person's movement trajectory in advance - Ronan suspected that Luo Yuan's body might also belong to the same body as it was in Xia City at that time. The empty shells of rapidly proliferating clones have no spiritual imprint at all.
But no matter what form or state Luo Yuan exists in, if he appears in this area at this point in time, it is almost certain that he has a direct and close relationship with the Horned Demon, his grandfather's notes, and this kidnapping and blackmail incident. Relationship.
Is he an accomplice of the Horned Demon?
Well, using the word "associate", doesn't it look too highly on the Horned Demon?
Luo Yuan's pace was steady and fast. Since he didn't notice the focus of Ronan's consciousness, he followed his own pace and quickly walked out of the building where the studio was located, and boarded a black speed car that was already waiting at the door. The speed car started immediately, and soon drove out of the base and merged into the similarly congested traffic in Lake City.
At the same time in Xia City, Ruiwen, who had just finished school, was as lonely as usual, walking alone on campus. She took the opportunity to get away from everyone's sight, turned into a secluded place with no one, and sent a message to Ronan The "all ready" signal.
The anchor point of Ronan's consciousness has already locked the horned demon dancing in the studio. The Horned Demon guy was acting so high that he was completely unaware of the subtle changes in the surrounding environment. He could not imagine that Ronan, who was still accepting his blackmail demands and remained silent in the projection screen, had arrived so close to him. In the place where he was, he was gesturing how to use the knife.
As long as he had another thought, Ronan was 99% sure that he would pierce the Horned Demon's disgusting mouth in the next second. And kill all possibilities for him to seek help.
The problem is, after all, this idea has no interference with reality.
Luo Yuan's influence was substantial, and from another perspective, Ronan's failure to find his grandfather's notes in this area was also a key factor.
Either, the Horned Demon has no sincerity in the transaction at all; or, the transaction does exist, but the delivery has been arranged... In other words, the Horned Demon is not alone, there is a team of unknown size around him .
Luo Yuan, who had just left, was a real hammer blow.
Ronan sighed silently, his consciousness drifting away, and a ray of his mind fell on the speeding car that was driving away. At this time, active water molecules are combining with the cold and humid airflow of the air conditioner in the car, filling the closed space of the car, reflecting and transmitting the images and sounds there.
The driver who happened to be driving asked, "Isn't it inappropriate to leave the Horned Demon alone there? If you don't turn around, I'll ask Xiao Zhao to come over and take care of you."
Luo Yuan was sitting in the back seat with an upright posture. Only his slightly lowered eyes showed that his body was in a relatively relaxed state. Two seconds later, he responded with a magnetic hoarse voice: "That 'treat plan' is a young man's business. Whether it succeeds or not has nothing to do with me. Since the Horned Demon over there dares to show off, then let him be there." Add drama to yourself, he was going crazy holding it in during this period."
The driver chuckled: "He was originally a lunatic and psychotic...ah, I'm sorry."
Luo Yuan withdrew his cold eyes and kept a slow rhythm in his hoarse voice: "We must distinguish between volunteers and experimental subjects. No matter how crazy the horned devil is, he is still a warrior who takes the initiative to fight against genetic barriers."
"Yes, sir, my mentality is not right." The driver made a blunder and violated Luo Yuan's taboo. In just two sentences, a layer of cold sweat was soaked on his forehead.
Fortunately, Luo Yuan did not go into details, and said half chatting and half to himself: "The genetic modulation of the Horned Demon is not successful. When the so-called reference model is restored to human DNA, there will always be all kinds of strange problems. The Horned Demon is now like pouring water. Once oily dry firewood burns, its controllability is too low... Maybe these models conflict with the double helix structure?"
On this topic, the driver no longer dared to interrupt. Luo looked up and saw the cold sweat on his forehead: "Is it going to rain in Lake City? The air is stuffy and humid..."
"Ah, let me adjust it."
The driver was about to adjust the function of the air conditioner on the flying car. The invisible aura on Luo Yuan's body fluctuated. It was obvious that there was no wind, but the cabin instantly became refreshing.
The interior of the speed car became refreshing, but Ronan's consciousness was slightly stagnant. On the one hand, he had just received a lot of explosive material, and on the other hand, it was the special structure of water vapor controlled by the soul cloak. At that moment, he was radiated by Luo Yuan's breath. Total destruction.
Ronan almost thought he had been caught following surveillance, but luckily it turned out to be just Luo Yuan's pursuit of comfort.
Even so, Ronan no longer dared to interfere with the soul cloak as he did before. A strong person like Luo Yuan has a delicate sense of the external environment. No matter how small the changes in the physical level are, there is no guarantee.
Ronan was careful to keep a distance. As a result, the conversation in the sealed compartment was blurred and difficult to distinguish, making it difficult to extract effective information. Ronan could only wait and wait until Luo Yuan re-entered an open environment. Maybe then he wouldn't be so sensitive... right?
The speed car continued to drive and boarded the airport expressway. It seemed that it did not stop in Lake City, but headed straight outside the city. Ronan looked at the map and saw that there was an airport in that direction, and he could also directly enter the wilderness, but no matter which one, there was More than an hour's drive. You must follow him. It's rare to catch the trace of a powerful enemy, and it would be a pity to give it up if his usual mental induction doesn't work.
But as for the Horned Demon... do you really want to let him go?
Ronan was unwilling to give in.
For Squidward, every second of negotiating with the Horned Demon is an ordeal.
The Horned Demon is not worthy of the word "negotiation". He just instills completely impossible conditions between joking and dreaming into you over and over again, taking pleasure in breaking through the bottom line of your psychological endurance. As for whether the negotiation can be concluded in the end, Octopus has already seen it, this damn bastard doesn't care at all!
"MD, don't this guy just want to extort 500 points and then run away!"
The more the octopus talked, the more nervous he became. Fortunately or unfortunately, after paying the sky-high price of points, Ronan, who was really closely involved in the transaction, maintained an almost stubborn silence. No matter how provocative and provocative the horned devil was, he just didn't say a word. Later, the Horned Demon probably lost what should have been the strongest source of pleasure, and ended this meaningless negotiation in a boring way.
The final price stayed at 1,200 points. It is one-fifth higher than the so-called "base price" of the Horned Demon. According to his words:
My spit is worth such a price!
In this process, the octopus felt that it had not played any role. If Qiang said that there was, he probably asked the Horned Demon to sign a confidentiality agreement, requiring him to ensure that this sky-high price, which was completely a kidnapping and extortion, was completely blocked from the outside world - the two hundred points above the base price were given out in this name. .
Well, these details are pretty meaningless.
Octopus finally confirmed the terms of the agreement. According to the conditions stipulated in the agreement, Ronan will assign a special person to Lake City within nine hours to receive the 12 notebooks unearthed by the Horned Demon from Luo Yuandao's wilderness laboratory. There are 2 books in relatively good condition, and the remaining 10 books always have more or less damage.
"On average, it's exactly 100 points for a notebook. Think about it this way, don't you think it's not that expensive?" The Horned Demon began to act obediently.
"Converted into credit points, that's 100 million! I will use these to buy your life. Do you think there will be any extraordinary people who are interested?"
"Oh, I'm so scared. Let's do this. As a bonus to the deal, and to repair the relationship, I will provide a photocopy of the first thing that was kept at the excavation site..."
"We have the notes, so we can use the photocopies." Octopus also began to speak dirty words. Otherwise, he would not be able to vent his grievances.
The Horned Demon laughed loudly: "Octopus, your brain capacity is probably shrunk by taking drugs. I am not a professional archaeologist. I take out these tattered notebooks as soon as I take them out. Who has the time and energy to do technical preservation? In the middle It has been so many days, so many notes have been damaged for a second time, or the photocopies at that time are more complete... You think so, right?"
Octopus didn't know how Ronan would feel when he heard this. Anyway, after he cut off the communication, he kicked the desk next to him.
"The Horned Demon is crazy and insane!"
Apart from anything else, Ronan was awakened by the shock and subconsciously advised him: "Brother Squidward, don't be angry..."
"If you don't get angry, you're dead! 1,200 points, after excluding your savings, there will be a difference of nearly 600, right? According to your current credit limit, if this amount of money is transferred, it is equivalent to selling one-third of your life to the association. Yes, do you understand?"
Ronan could only smile: "Neither my value nor my grandfather's notes can be measured by these points..."
Octopus was not interested in Ronan's self-produced "chicken soup". At this time, He Yueyin confirmed that the negotiation was over, opened the door and came in, looking directly at Ronan:
"As a senior member of the Xiacheng Branch, the attitude and stance of the Horned Demon are very questionable. I have just informed President Ouyang, His Majesty Emperor Wu, and Mr. You to hold a small meeting to analyze and make corresponding arrangements. If Mr. Luo has any questions or requirements, he can raise them at the meeting and we can solve them together."
Ronan nodded, then shook his head: "I want to go out and relax."
