Chapter 600 593: Let's See Whose Authority Is Supreme
Upon hearing this.
Nanami said, “The second situation is very simple. We already know that this place has been modified, or it’s highly likely that it has been modified, so why can’t the BOSS mechanism be changed?”
Lu Ran was taken aback, looking at Nanami in surprise.
But indeed, there’s a possibility!
So then.
Lu Ran asked, “You mean the mechanism that triggers the BOSS has been modified? It’s not triggered like this? It’s not just killing all the small monsters here to trigger it?”
Unexpectedly.
Nanami shook her head.
She said, “That’s not certain either. It’s possible that only the location after the BOSS is triggered has been changed. In any case, I’m not sure about the specifics, but there’s such a possibility, and moreover…”
At this point.
Nanami’s tone paused.
Then she continued, “Moreover, if someone really made such complex modifications here, don’t you find it very strange? Isn’t it boring? Unless he’s trying to do something here, like…”
Lu Ran suddenly had a realization.
His eyes lit up as he looked at Nanami and said, “Like trying to trap someone here!”
Nanami shrugged and said, “That’s the idea. So what do we do now?”
“Search. We need to turn this entire Dark River upside down and find something,” Lu Ran said.
Especially since there’s already the suspicion that someone has altered this place.
Then giving up halfway is definitely not an option.
We have to find some clues and information!
Thinking of this.
Lu Ran led Nanami into the Dark River to start searching; they submerged directly to the bottom of the river.
Because there was something strange here, Lu Ran didn’t dare let Nanami act alone.
Even though Lu Ran could resurrect Nanami at any time, he didn’t dare to take risks.
Because this place was indeed too bizarre.
If there are two people here capable of making modifications, and if Nanami really died, and Lu Ran couldn’t resurrect her for some reason.
Lu Ran would be devastated.
To this day, although Nanami was from Japan, in Lu Ran’s heart, she was considered a very good friend, even more than a friend.
Lu Ran would never allow anything to happen to Nanami.
So.
When Nanami suggested that they split up to search for efficiency’s sake, Lu Ran immediately refused.
“Why? You can revive me anyway. Even if I encounter something and die here, you can revive me anytime.” Nanami asked curiously.
“But what if there’s an accident? You know too, this place has been altered. If there are special pre-set rules that even exceed my highest permissions, how would I revive you? I absolutely won’t allow such a thing to happen, and I won’t let you be in any danger,” Lu Ran said without hesitation.
Nanami was visibly stunned, looking at Lu Ran in surprise.
Then Lu Ran continued, “So let’s just keep searching together. After all, it’s just the two of us. Even if we split up, how much more efficient could it be? It’s not worth the risk, and as I said, I won’t let anything happen to you because if, after your unforeseen death, I can’t bring you back, I’d fall apart.”
Nanami’s eyes began to flicker.
She seemed to have something to say, but the words were left unsaid, and she simply nodded and said, “I understand, we won’t split up.”
As she spoke, her gaze toward Lu Ran turned extraordinarily gentle.
Then.
The two of them set off together, searching along the riverbed.
Unexpectedly, they really did find something different!
In a certain depression on the riverbed, Lu Ran discovered a strange place.
It seemed like a man-made underground tunnel.
But it wasn’t sealed.
At the entrance, some data streams were constantly operating.
Although this is the Data World, data is still presented in a visual format.
What’s going on?
How could there be direct data streams?
Something unusual must be happening here! Lu Ran and Nanami exchanged a look, instantly understanding each other’s thoughts.
This place is off.
“It should be this place, no doubt. Data streams are even appearing here.” Lu Ran remarked.
“Can you tell what these data streams do?” Nanami asked.
Lu Ran nodded.
Although he didn’t understand data streams himself, because he currently possessed the highest authority in the Data World, he could directly use data to determine the function of these streams.
The process was quite simple.
Basically, Lu Ran just looked at the data streams for a moment.
Then his eyes brightened as he exclaimed, “They’re seals! Seals!”
Oh?
Nanami was taken aback, a bit curious. What exactly was a seal?
It seemed Lu Ran saw Nanami’s confusion, so he explained, “It’s similar to a seal. You can imagine this thing as a seal!”
A seal!
Nanami’s eyes also brightened. She definitely understood what a seal was!
The existence of a seal, even by its literal meaning, was quite clear!
It’s meant to seal and control, or to put it simply, trap something or someone.
This matched exactly with what Lu Ran was looking for!
“Really? Are we that lucky? We’ve found it so soon?” Lu Ran said in surprise.
But then, a problem arose.
“These data streams come from another authority. Can you break it?” Nanami asked.
Because once authority is involved.
It means there is a hierarchy between authorities.
If the opponent’s authority is higher than Lu Ran’s, there’s nothing Lu Ran can do!
Conversely.
If the opponent’s authority is lower than Lu Ran’s.
Then Lu Ran could easily break the seal with just a thought!
Thinking of this.
Lu Ran immediately nodded and said, “I’ll give it a try, but it shouldn’t be a problem. You know, right now, I’m the highest authority in this world, this Data World. Even if the other side can modify data, they shouldn’t be able to bypass or surpass my authority.”
After saying this, Lu Ran began his attempt.
But in the end.
The truth was humbling.
Lu Ran found that he couldn’t break these seals, couldn’t manipulate these data streams, and couldn’t interfere with the authority!
This means the opponent’s authority is above Lu Ran’s!
Lu Ran’s hair stood on end!
He refused to give up and continued trying.
These actions seemed to have stirred something.
Deeper within the passage, a figure slowly opened its eyes.
