Chapter 404: What is the purpose of Levin Baker's multi-line operation?

"Why do I feel that the attitude of the navigators is a bit strange?"

The furnishings in the room gradually came into view, and Li Ming felt that the atmosphere in the Iron Throne Hall was inexplicably different.

He just went to get a vaccination, but he felt like the Navigator wanted to eat him, with obvious hostility.

baffling.

Li Ming shook his head. After the pioneers had made all the arrangements, he stood up, walked out of the room and headed straight for the prison area.

The flowing shadow is divided into four layers, with the prison area at the bottom layer, which is divided into two parts on the left and right by the central axis.

On the right side, in the J-1 prison area, in the metal cell, four mechanical guards stand at the four corners of the cell.

In the center, a metal disc was emitting a faint blue light, and the lines were intertwined like a net, with Thor's limbs tightly attached in a twisted posture.

The fractures at the joints were jagged, and the bones and broken fascia were vaguely visible. Blood slowly flowed down the limbs, and the breath was extremely weak.

A big hole was dug out in the chest, and the metal bonds were like vicious snakes, piercing into the flesh and blood, blending with each other, and emitting wisps of blood mist.

The pain that penetrated deep into his bones caused Thor's limbs to twitch instinctively. The metal bonds flashed with strange electric light, and every slight tremor brought a heart-wrenching pain.

Garrett's fate was similar. Although he was a stone man, his body had flesh-and-blood-like tissue structures inside, and he was trapped in place.

The two looked extremely miserable, but for S-level life forms, these injuries were nothing.

Li Ming did not underestimate them and deliberately beat them severely. This metal disc was just an ordinary A-level item and theoretically could not trap them.

However, these two guys thought that the mechanical guard was an S-level life form, so they naturally didn't dare to make any unnecessary movements.

"Garrett... Tell me, Azure Dragon doesn't kill us because we are still useful?" Thor's voice trembled, trying to find some comfort from his companions.

"Not necessarily. It could also be because he has a habit of torturing people." Garrett's voice was dull, and he didn't seem to be very afraid.

Thor's already painful expression became even more ferocious, his mind racing. He didn't want to die. He was an S-class life form, possessing interstellar power. He would have achieved a prominent position wherever he was. How could he die here?

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A dull sound of metal collision was heard, and Thor's eyes were filled with ripples. He tried to adjust his perspective and saw a luxurious mecha.

It is the representative mecha of Qinglong, and is now used by Ji Ming as a self-defense mecha, with the imperial code name - Qinglong No. 1.

The metal cell door opened and the mecha walked in, its bright blue eyes unable to reveal any useful information.

"Is that Lord Qinglong?" Thor opened his mouth, intending to say something.

But due to the position, Garrett was on the outside. Qinglong stopped beside Garrett, and a cold voice came from it, "Give me a reason not to kill you for the time being."

Thor's heart trembled, "I...I have something to say..."

"It's not your turn yet." Qinglong shook his head. King Zhentian, who was standing in the corner, raised his hand, and a strong electric current accurately fell on the wound of Thor's heart, and passed into the deep of his flesh along the metal bond inserted into his flesh.

Thor's face became more and more distorted, and his suppressed and painful wails echoed in the cell.

"His Royal Highness will not let you go." Garrett stated simply, without fear or hatred, rather than being dull.

"The Stonemen are indeed loyal." Li Ming praised, and then said: "Go outside and kill them."

"clear."

Two mechanical bodies, one big and one small, came out from the corner, carrying Garrett and walking outside.

The Stonemen are famous for their loyalty and honesty in the interstellar space, and are naturally strong. They are excellent companions and subordinates, so they are now almost extinct due to being deceived.

"Now, it's your turn." Li Ming came to Thor's side, looked down at Thor, whose face was distorted and ferocious, but whose eyes were filled with expectation, and asked in the same way, "Give me a reason not to kill you."

"I..." Thor paused, having already prepared something in his mind. He spoke hastily, "Aren't you curious why we're here? And why are we carrying the Star-Devouring Hell Dragon?"

"Not curious." Li Ming shook his head.

"Do you think you already know this?" Thor was shocked and confirmed his guess.

Qinglong already knows about the blood sacrifice, and Prince Ryan is in danger.

"Is this all you want to say?" Li Ming said in a calm voice.

"Purpose, do you know Prince Ryan's purpose?" Thor said hurriedly, intending to find something that Qinglong didn't understand, and then negotiate terms with the other party.

Li Ming sighed, realizing that this guy was still not getting the point, so he could only say, "You need to demonstrate your own value instead of asking about my needs."

Asking for needs is negotiating conditions. He really wants to use Thor, but he doesn't want to negotiate conditions with the other party.

This can cause a lot of trouble.

Thor's breathing stagnated, his thoughts almost stagnating. Demonstrating his value? How?

"Forget it." Li Ming shook his head, "put him..."

"Wait!" Thor gritted his teeth and shouted. In this life-or-death crisis, his mind burst out with unprecedented potential. "Since Your Excellency knows everything, you know that we are just the vanguard. If you kill us, this matter will not end, but only begin."

"Oh..." Li Ming paused and said thoughtfully, "Continue."

"I don't know what you intend to do, but if Prince Ryan learns of the changes here, he will definitely act quickly. This is almost a desperate move for the prince, and there is no room for error," Thor said hurriedly, speaking faster and faster. "I can buy you some time!"

"Hmm..." Li Ming pondered, but shook his head at Thor's almost desperate look: "Ryan's information channel is not limited to you."

"I know all the information channels. Why not give it a try? Why not give it a try!" Thor said repeatedly. The mecha in front of him fell silent again. This time, he finally stopped shaking his head. "Then, I'll let you try."

Subjective initiative is different from negotiating conditions. One can only do this after he is released, and there is no idea how many unexpected things will happen in the process.

One is that only by doing this thing well can he be released. The other party will try his best to do it, and even think of things that Li Ming can't think of.

"Take it off first." Li Ming instructed, "Think carefully about your ideas and give me a feasibility plan to prove your worth."

After saying this, he left and looked at Qinglong's back.

Thor's heart was restless, filled with a mixture of panic and fear. He felt that the road ahead was bleak, with only a tiny glimmer of hope flickering.

What he needs to grasp is that tiny ray of hope.

Leaving here, Li Ming went straight to the other side of the cell.

In the corridor, he thought that everything was fine here in Thor.

However, he was a little unsure how to hold Levenbeck down.

He assumed the other party was extremely threatening, believing that the other party could withdraw at any time, and even if the preliminary groundwork had been laid, it would not last long.

The only good news now is that he has confirmed that Levenbeck is hiding his identity and working for Prince Ryan.

Even if he went to see Prince Ryan, the first thing he would have to explain was his own identity.

But this concern alone is far from enough. Levenbeck must have his own purpose in the matter of blood sacrifice.

It is enough to support him in a showdown with Ryan. In fact, after the showdown, he will be more threatening and can spare no effort to help Ryan.

"First, we must not let him feel threatened. We must make him feel that we are still hiding and that we have the initiative." Li Ming thought about it and released the tank guard on his body:

"Then talk to him as Li Ming. We are all students of the Divine Craftsman. Someone with such a twisted mentality should feel differently."

Li Ming has carefully studied Levenback's information and even has a lot of video interview clips, so he knows a lot about Levenback's past.

"He must be very curious about Qinglong. Now that I'm in the driver's seat, I think he'll try to get more information."

With a rough idea in mind, I stepped into the prison area on the right. In the first cell, Levenbeck was in, guarded by a mechanical guard.

"Li Ming?"

Seeing the cell door open, Levenbeck looked up, and a fiery light suddenly flashed in his eyes, but quickly disappeared.

Li Ming only felt that this guy's eyes were strange, and his face remained indifferent, with a look of scrutiny and observation:

"I had your tissue cells tested. It's very strange. You don't look like a normal life form, but you have the thinking of a normal life form."

"What the hell are you?"

Seeing Li Ming's expression, Levenbeck's eyes revealed a look of nostalgia.

A familiar feeling, arrogant, contemptuous, not taking the stars seriously, not taking anyone seriously, believing that one day he will surpass everything.

As a student of the master craftsman, he was extremely talented and he understood the other person's feelings too well.

Because he had the same experience, and Li Ming was more powerful and more perfect than him, and he believed that the other party was also more proud.

"Where's your teacher?" Levenbeck asked calmly, as if he was looking back at her.

"You?" Li Ming sneered, "You are not worthy to see my teacher."

Rather than being angry, Levenbaker was relieved.

Qinglong didn't take him seriously, which was for the best. In this way, this might be a great opportunity.

"I'm afraid you didn't bring the Star-Devouring Hell Dragon with you to help the Itlan civilization achieve victory." Li Ming said calmly, "I advise you to tell me everything you know."

Levenbeck shook his head. Li Ming was still too young and directly exposed his needs.

But, it happens that there is a demand.

"I know." Levenback smiled, then said, "But why should I tell you?"

"You..." Li Ming was obviously angry and seemed to be about to take action, but Levenbeck said calmly: "But I do have an idea."

This pulling and tugging is so natural, he is indeed an old pervert.

However, Levenbeck's reaction also made him feel strange, because it indirectly revealed that the other party also had needs, otherwise why would he bother talking nonsense with him.

Li Ming sighed, and asked subconsciously, "What's the idea?"

After asking, he was obviously a little unnatural, and said in a deep voice: "What qualifications do you have to negotiate with me?"

"I'm not afraid of pain, but you can't read my memory. Or you can kill me?" Levenback laughed hoarsely. "Then report to your teacher that you found a man who had returned from the dead, but then killed him."

"Or rather, get more information from me and report it to your teacher."

Li Ming paused, a flicker of hesitation in his eyes.

Levenbeck smiled faintly in his heart, feeling that it would not be too easy to grasp Li Ming's mentality.

Because that's how he came here, and he had a master teacher who was very famous.

Naturally, you want to gain recognition and praise from others, but this is not easy to do.

"If you have any ideas, tell me. Don't try to play tricks."

As expected, Li Ming said what he wanted to say, but he seemed unwilling and reluctant.

"It's a very old-fashioned game. You ask me a question, and I ask you one." Levenbeck said, and then saw Li Ming couldn't wait to speak, "What is your purpose?"

“No, no…no…” Levenback shook his index finger. “Don’t ask such a direct question at the beginning.”

Seeing that Li Ming was about to get angry again, he said, "However, since this is your first time playing this kind of game, I can tell you."

He stirred up anger, then calmed it down, taking and letting go, showing his calmness.

Li Ming secretly admired that even if he talked to the other party normally, he might not be able to gain the upper hand.

"We are going to kill everyone in the entire Corona Borealis ring." After Levenback finished speaking, Li Ming's pupils condensed slightly, as if he was shocked by the news.

He actually said that?

Li Ming noticed something was wrong. What on earth was this guy trying to do?

At the same time, I realized that there seemed to be no need to think of any way to arouse his curiosity.

He had always had plans for me, or rather for Qinglong.

"You..." He intended to ask again, but was interrupted by Levenback, "Okay, it's my turn to ask."

Li Ming was unwilling to give up, and acted like, "I really want to strangle you right now, but I have to play games with you to get more information." He said in a muffled voice, "Ask."

"How did you become Qinglong's student?"

Li Ming was slightly stunned. He was not pretending. He really didn't expect that Levenbeck would ask such a question.

There are many questions that can be broken down into these, but they have all been simplified by Levenbeck. It is obvious that these are not asked casually but have been carefully considered.

This slightly disrupted his train of thought, and he hesitated as he said, "Not long after my father passed away, my teacher came to me and said he wanted to train me. I thought he was very capable, so I agreed."

The answer was simple. Levenbeck had a blank expression on his face, but he was not at peace in his heart, because he was also accepted as a disciple by the Hammersmith in this way.

He had investigated Li Ming carefully and knew that he was actually very miserable, only slightly better off than him.

Could it be that Qinglong is really a forging hammer?

The way students are selected is almost exactly the same.

This guy seems to be interested in me instead of Qinglong?

Li Ming was also muttering, not quite sure.

His answer was actually a condensed version of how Levenbeck became his student.

"It's my turn now. Why did you kill the life forms in the Corona Borealis ring?" Li Ming asked.

"Because Prince Ryan wants to make the Empire a victim," Levenbeck responded simply.

Li Ming pretended to be silent, frowning. He didn't care even though Levenbaker started to lie.

By now, he no longer needed to actively retain Levenbeck. Instead, he cared about whether the other party had any intentions towards him.
