Chapter 244 After reviewing the situation, the trio realized something was wrong and must protect Qinglong!

"However, I need to find out their cooperation plan. The Torch Organization is still a good place for me. If Deyes plans to lure Asmara directly here, then I will have to report him in real name..."

But what made it difficult for him was that he had no way of knowing when Deyes would contact Asmara.

It was impossible for him to stay in Deyes's shadow all day long, but Li Ming didn't want to expose Deyes directly. He felt that this matter was highly feasible and if used well, it would be a brilliant move.

Frowning slightly, he lowered his head and glanced at the smart terminal, but his expression relaxed again.

"The signal is completely blocked, and even the intranet cannot be connected."

Before this, although they could not contact the outside world, they could connect to the Torch Organization's intranet and obtain notification information or contact other people through the intranet with limited permissions.

But now the intranet signal is also blocked, which is a physical isolation. No matter how advanced Deyes's technical means are, he cannot contact the outside world in an environment without signal connection.

"I'm afraid Cornett has been wanting to do this for a long time, but he never had a good reason. He just wants to use this opportunity to completely isolate us."

Li Ming thought, in this way, he only needs to pay attention to when Deyes can connect to the internal network.

At least in this area, the other party certainly can't do it.

"And the suppression of this purple energy field..." More than ten minutes later, when the cooldown time for the switch was up, he immediately tried to perform [Space Flash], but found that he couldn't do it because there was a strong blockage.

Li Mingxintong: "Since the space is blocked, there must be other characteristics that the tank guards can't detect. Go ask Jesaya..."

On the mottled surface of the planet, the purple energy barrier ripples, the thin air inside rolls up dust all over the sky, and several spaceships are placed here in a messy manner.

Buzz--

The hatch opened, and Theo and Ulrich walked into the spaceship where Sandro was with expressionless faces.

Sandro, who looked depressed, felt even more embarrassed when he saw the solemn expressions of the two men, but then he straightened his chest.

The hatch closed, Ulrich glanced at Sandro, and Theo spoke up, "Tell me, what's going on with that material?"

This dispute came out of nowhere, which made him smell something unusual.

"Boss, I'm also puzzled. The material was obviously good, but who knew it would become bad in Brot's hands." Sandro said helplessly.

He really wanted to sell the things, and he believed from the bottom of his heart that there was nothing wrong with them, so he had no intention of cheating Brot at all.

"Are you sure it wasn't you?" Theo asked again.

Ulrich interrupted, "With Sandro's brain, how could he possibly think of such a method?"

"I also took a quick look at the goods when I handed them to Sandro. Although I didn't examine them too carefully, I couldn't see any problems on the surface."

Sandro, in a rare move, did not refute Ulrich. Instead, he agreed with him: "Yes, I don't have such means."

"There are only two possibilities. Either this is Deyes's doing, or what we got is just junk."

"I've dealt with Blerim before, and he's not someone who's easily fooled." Ulrich shook his head, his eyes flickering. "Besides, Qinglong had already made an offer, which means he didn't see the problem either."

He added, "At least, it was okay then."

Sandro was extremely depressed. Although he made some money, it was what he should have made, and now he was in trouble.

"That's strange. Since I got these materials, they've hardly left my sight. How could they be destroyed out of nowhere?"

"Qinglong..." Theo uttered those two words. Ulrich was not surprised and nodded in agreement: "I also tend to think that it is most likely his method."

"Qinglong?" Sandro was slightly stunned, then suddenly said, "I remember now. We had just divided the loot, and while we were waiting for Theo's men to return, Qinglong did ask me to meet him."

"I originally thought he wanted to secretly discuss the purchase price of the metal materials, but when we met, he said it was fine."

"Did he contact you too?" Ulrich pondered. "He also made an appointment with me. I also couldn't find him in his room. I immediately returned to the room to check the materials, and there seemed to be no problem at the time."

"Thinking about it now, it was probably some kind of trick used at the time."

"Is it really him?" Sandro widened his eyes and then looked at Theo.

"He made an appointment with me too." Theo nodded.

Bang!

Sandro suddenly slammed the table and stood up, angrily saying, "He is too dishonest. Not only did he refuse to buy it, but he also pretended to sabotage it."

"Why? What's the point?" Compared to Sandro's emotional reaction, Ulrich was more calm: "Risk of being discovered, damage these metal materials, and then what?"

"What then..." Sandro yelled, "Your brain is so big because you think too much all day long."

"Originally, we would have sold it to him for 1.5 billion, but you insisted on raising the price and taking advantage of him. He's definitely not happy about it."

"It's just to vent my anger."

"Just to vent your anger?" Ulrich frowned. This kind of adventurous behavior with a very simple purpose and a sense of catharsis was difficult for him to apply to the Qinglong in his heart.

"What else?" Sandro said angrily, "I really shouldn't have believed your lies back then."

But he was thankful and said, "Fortunately, I found a sucker to take over, otherwise it would have been a real loss."

"It was probably Qinglong's doing." Theo concluded. Qinglong had come to the three of them one after another, which could not be explained by coincidence.

The three of them fell silent again. After finding the real culprit behind the scenes, what next?

Go find Deyes and expose Qinglong's sinister face?

Only fools would go there. They are in cahoots with Qinglong.

Going to settle accounts with Qinglong? Sandro touched his face and felt a little stinging.

Anyway, I have found the sucker, so it doesn’t matter.

"This incident was just an inducement." Theo said in a deep voice: "We know these things, but Deyes doesn't know. Why did he let Brot go directly to Qinglong?"

"Qinglong's arrival made him feel threatened, and he wanted to use this as an excuse to kill Qinglong," Ulrich speculated. "In the end, something unexpected happened."

"And if something happens to Qinglong, we will definitely be..." Ulrich paused, and after a moment hesitantly said: "...expelled..."

Sandro shrank his head. He was not very sensitive about other things, but he cared a lot about this matter that involved his life and property.

Originally, he thought that if three A-level life forms formed a group, they would be able to do whatever they wanted.

But the appearance of the purple giant shattered the fantasy in his heart.

Ulrich spoke implicitly. If they were unwilling to leave, or if Connit intended to kill them to silence them, Sandro thought he would not be able to withstand the slap in the face.

"Boss, can you stop that purple giant?" Sandro hesitated.

"I can't kill him, and from the looks of it, it should be difficult for him to kill me either." Theo hesitated slightly.

The two men still looked grim. Just because they couldn't kill Theo didn't mean they couldn't be killed.

"Just because we saw the purple giant doesn't mean the Torch Organization only has purple giants," Ulrich added.

Sandro's face turned pale and he couldn't help but ask, "Can you please stop imagining things?"

"We must protect Qinglong." Theo said suddenly.

"Protect Azure Dragon?" Sandro was a little confused. "What do you mean?"

Ulrich sneered, "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, Azure Dragon can't have any problems, otherwise we will inevitably face the Torch Organization and several other great mechanics."

"If something happens to him, the worst that can happen to us is being expelled. We've been busy for so long, but to no avail."

"Or, death."

"Huh?" Sandro found the sudden change in the situation hard to accept. "Are our lives bound to Azure Dragon?"

Ulrich struck again: "To be more precise, Qinglong is more proactive because he has value, while the three of us are purely here to share the cake."

"The only good news is that Qinglong probably doesn't trust the Torch Organization either. Furthermore, there are several other great mechanics out there, and he'll need our strength to deal with them."

"The two combat machines under Qinglong are stronger than me, and I still have to protect him?" Sandro looked painful and began to regret getting involved in this mess.

When mentioning the two combat machines, Ulrich took a deep breath. The more he came into contact with Qinglong, the more he felt that this person was unfathomable.

Sandro asked hesitantly, "If all of us put together, can we defeat the purple giant?"

"You expect everyone to work together?" Ulrich sneered.

Theo said calmly, "None of us can match the purple giant. We'd better pray that day never comes."

…

Meanwhile, in the spaceship Deyes was aboard, he heaved a sigh of relief and slowly stood up. "This crystallization isn't irreversible. With your vitality, it should be nearly complete in ten days or half a month."

Brot, lying on the hospital bed, was sweating profusely. His crystallized body was constantly tingling, and his face was ashen.

"Damn Sandro, damn Qinglong, damn Cornette!"

He cursed and was so angry that he wanted to tear these people into pieces.

Deyes had a blank expression on his face. He turned around and started making something to help Brot recover.

After Brot had finished cursing, he looked at Deyes's back and said hesitantly, "Is this Cornett dissatisfied with you? Why doesn't he say a word for you?"

"It would be fine if you don't have a dispute with Qinglong later, but what if it does?"

Dezes paused slightly, his voice expressing neither joy nor anger: "Don't worry, I have my own way."

Brot wanted to ask more, but the pain in his body made him grimace.

Li Ming had just come out of Jessiah's spaceship and returned to the spaceship with a thoughtful look on his face.

Jessiah's detection methods were indeed more comprehensive than his. Through indirect inquiries, he learned that this purple barrier could not only suppress the activity of various elements and block space, but could even detect abnormal mental abilities. It was simply omnipotent.

"It's a bit troublesome..."

…

After finishing everything, Connet, with a gloomy expression, went deeper into the base. The deeper he went, the fewer staff members he saw.

Especially after passing through several thick doors covered with purple energy membranes, almost no one could be seen in the empty corridor.

Cornett, who had originally walked steadily and with a determined look, began to walk unsteadily at some point.

thump!

At a certain moment, Connet, who had transformed into a purple giant in the outside world and suppressed many A-level life forms, was speechless and suddenly fell to his knees.

Beads of sweat the size of beans dripped from his face, hitting the metal floor and breaking into eight pieces.

No, that's not sweat, it's bloody.

Puff!

Immediately, fine cracks appeared on Cornett's skin, and blood was clearly visible on his flesh, gathering into thin streams and flowing on the ground.

"Balzac's power is not so easy to borrow." An indifferent voice suddenly sounded, and his bloodshot eyes could only see a shadow.

"None of those people are simple. If we don't subdue them, there will be greater trouble later." He struggled to get up from the ground.

The figure standing beside him was dressed exactly like him, and even looked almost the same, but he didn't look as calm.

Cornett had just taken two steps when he stumbled again. The other party shook his head helplessly, forcibly supported Cornett, and brought him to the laboratory at the end of the corridor.

The door slid open to both sides, and low and noisy sounds came in. This laboratory was even larger. At a glance, it was full of experimenters moving around.

The most eye-catching thing is the long and narrow purple crack in the center. The edge of the crack keeps fluctuating, forming sharp ripples.

Cornett was brought to the central area, where there were four large metal containment devices, which imprisoned hideous-looking life forms.

One of them was nearly ten meters long, with six curled black tentacles nailed tightly to the restraint device. It was covered with dense black cracks that kept opening and closing, and the jagged teeth were chilling.

There is no main body, this is its entire appearance, extremely ugly, and the other three also have their own characteristics.

A steady stream of black liquid was drawn out from it and drained into a metal tank.

The experimenters here were not surprised by the arrival of the two and were even used to it.

The man who was supporting Connet said, "Let's put Connet, whose body was covered with cracks, into one of the black liquid tanks."

Relevant data appeared on various instruments and equipment, and the experimenters worked in an orderly manner.

However, this incident did not make the atmosphere among the people more tense.

Instead, on the second day, four master mechanics including Li Ming walked into the core laboratory together.

Deyes, who suffered a great loss, acted very calmly, as if what happened yesterday had never happened.

As for Li Ming, he seemed more indifferent, and even took the initiative to talk to Deyes, asking how he rested yesterday.

Deyes sighed helplessly and said as he ran a data simulation, "Ah, it's my old problem. I'm nervous and haven't had enough rest. There's a lot of wind outside, and the soundproofing on that spacecraft isn't very good."

"How can that be possible? We have to urge Connet to change to a better boat." Li Ming was surprised.

"It's okay, just make do for these two days." Deyes smiled bitterly.

Benny looked at the two people who were acting so seriously and was speechless for a while.
