Chapter 536: A Solution
In the Secret Service Bureau, in Baili Qing's office, an illusory door suddenly appeared on the empty space next to the desk.
Baili Qing had just received the news that Yu Sheng was coming over, so she wasn't surprised at all. After a simple greeting, she lowered her head and continued to work on the matter at hand, her face as stern as usual: "Wait a moment, I'll be done soon."
Yu Sheng carried Irene and pushed the door open. He said "oh" and moved a chair over from the side to sit down (this chair almost became his exclusive seat here), watching Baili Qing reviewing documents with an aura of deep hatred and resentment.
The little doll twisted restlessly in his arms, raised its head and muttered softly, "Hey, Yu Sheng, the Iron-Faced Paralysis seems to be in a bad mood today."
Before Yu Sheng could speak, Baili Qing, who was reviewing documents across from him, suddenly raised her head and said, "I'm not a man of steel."
Irene immediately started to show off: "Hey, this is the only thing that got a reaction!"
Yu Sheng pushed the puppet back and looked at the director, who seemed to be in a lower mood than usual. "Uh, is something wrong? You..."
"The 'intrusions' caused by that black spot laboratory are becoming more frequent and severe. The current interception and countermeasures haven't been very effective," Baili Qing said with a gloomy face. "The key is that we can't determine the principle behind this phenomenon..."
Yu Sheng immediately adjusted his posture in his chair upon hearing this. "Hey, that's what I came here to tell you! About that black spot lab—do you know who's in charge of the lab across the street?"
He was actually preparing to show off, but he didn't expect that Baili Qing's expression would change as soon as he said this - in fact, her face didn't react much to what he said, but after all, they had been dealing with each other for such a long time, and coupled with his sharp intuition, Yu Sheng immediately realized that there seemed to be something wrong in the eyes of the director opposite, so he swallowed the rest of his words in an instant.
"Looking at you..." Yu Sheng adjusted his expression and words, "You should have something to tell me, right?"
Baili Qing breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had made a decision after quickly weighing the pros and cons.
"I was originally looking for an opportunity to discuss this with you, now that things have progressed to this point," she said, raising her eyelids and calmly gazing into Yu Sheng's eyes. "I think I can identify the 'culprit' behind these recent events... If I'm not mistaken, it's an Algrade elf named Luo."
Yu Sheng slowly opened his mouth wide, stunned for a long time before suddenly remembering a detail: "Ah, I remember the black spot soldier we captured before mentioned a name called 'Lovell'..."
"He just made up that name—'Luo Wei' does exist, but that's the name of another Black Spot Technology warlord," Baili Qing shook her head. "Luo is the head of some of Black Spot Corporation's large facilities in the Dark Stream Star Region. While she could be classified as a 'Black Spot warlord,' she's more of a researcher."
Irene scrambled up onto Yu Sheng's shoulder in a few moves, then stood there, pointing her finger at Baili Qing. "Hey! Look! Your Secret Service is secretly colluding with the Black Spot Group, colluding with them and secretly colluding with them. You're such a punk..."
"Alright, alright, don't use words you don't know how to use," Yu Sheng quickly pulled the little thing off his shoulder and looked at Baili Qing. "Then... can you explain it?"
He paused, then added, "Actually, I'm not surprised. After all, the nature of the Black Spot Group is clearly different from those two cults. Furthermore, you specifically emphasized their cosmic trade network and access to cutting-edge technology like the 'umbilical cord.' Such a unique organization, coupled with the unique location of the border, it's not unusual for you to have some private contact, regardless of your public relationship... I just didn't expect this 'connection' to reach such high levels."
"On the contrary, it's normal for high-level officials to have connections. Often, it's a safeguard," Baili Qing said, sighing, "but something's clearly amiss this time. I've known Luo for a long time and have collaborated with her several times. Among most of the extreme Black Spot warlords, she can even be considered a 'moderate and rational individual,' even when it comes to research projects.
"Rather than being a businessman or regional manager, Luo is more of a pure technician. She focuses most of her energy on this. And unlike other Black Spot scientists, she rarely touches on those extreme fields that are too advanced... From what I know, this cautious and conservative style of action has even caused many other Black Spot executives to complain about her.
"But judging by the situation this time, she's ultimately no different from the other Black Spot warlords—sigh, messing things up and letting projects get out of control is a common trait among them."
Baili Qing shook her head and couldn't help but sigh when she said the last few words.
Yu Sheng even felt that her last few words contained some personal emotions.
"Did you two have a fight?" Irene climbed onto Yu Sheng's shoulder again, blinking at Baili Qing.
Baili Qing frowned slightly, remaining silent. Baili Xue's eyes had somehow surfaced on the rooftop, silently gazing at the room. What could they say? Disagreements and conflicts weren't the problem. The problem was that the party with the problem was hiding in an untouchable, lawless star zone and refusing to communicate. This was the most irritating thing.
Just as the two sisters were beginning to feel bitter and resentful again, Yu Sheng, who was sitting opposite them, suddenly stood up and said, "How about..."
Baili Qing raised her eyelids and looked at him questioningly: "Huh?"
Then Yu Sheng casually opened a door from the side and said, "How about you two talk in person?"
He has established a blood connection with the research facility hidden somewhere unknown. Although he has not yet reached the level of control, at least he can determine where the blonde elf is in the experimental facility at the moment - because he splashed blood on her skirt in his previous life.
The door opened, and opposite was what looked like a maintenance room. It was spacious and furnished with a large number of dazzling mechanical equipment. A certain blonde elf girl, Ji Oiler, was standing in front of an operating table, repairing a set of her own mechanical limbs.
Now she stared in amazement at the door that suddenly appeared in front of her, and Yu Sheng standing opposite the door.
The next second she let out a sharp scream—full of frustration, anger, resentment, and a little bit of fear:
"It's you again!! How the hell did you…"
Then she suddenly stopped there - the state was like Luna's freeze before, and she remained in a paused state, staring at Yu Sheng... and Baili Qing behind her.
Baili Xue's eyes fell to the ground, and then she quickly climbed to the floor-to-ceiling window at the back, staring blankly at the blonde elf opposite the door.
It would take a talented (and perhaps experienced) person to handle this situation. Baili Qing, however, managed to maintain her usual steely composure. She relied on her immense willpower to restrain herself from leaping from behind her desk. She stared at the scene across the door with a stern face, raised her eyebrows slightly, and spoke calmly, "Luo, we must talk—before I have to resort to extreme measures."
Irene poked Yu Sheng's head and muttered, "Hey, Yu Sheng, she's pretending..."
Yu Sheng kept a straight face and pretended not to notice the little doll's grumbling. He kept the door open while observing the condition of the blonde girl opposite - you have to say, she was quite a pretty elf, her hair was almost standing up at this time.
"I knew all these lingering ghosts were related to you!" Luo looked at Baili Qing in a frenzy, but he quickly used the remote control to close the hatch of the maintenance room and set it to do not disturb mode. At the same time, a mechanical limb was operating rapidly on the console next to it, and no one knew what it was doing. "What the hell is going on?!"
"Before that, I'd like to know what's going on in your lab," Baili Qing slowly stood up from behind her desk. An indescribable sense of majesty emanated from her movements, creating a near-tangible, intimidating pressure in the air. "That thing you're researching, the Zolda Black Stone, I'm afraid it's slipping out of your control. Aren't you aware of the frequent anomalies in your lab?"
The pressure emanating from Baili Qing was enough to make even giants tremble. However, the slender figure on the other side of the door seemed completely unaffected. Luo stared intently into Baili Qing's eyes. "You have no idea how important this matter is—the future and solution of the world are hidden in the Black Stone. And I repeat, my laboratory is in excellent condition..."
Baili Qing frowned.
Yu Sheng thought about it, and suddenly realized something. He whispered to Baili Qing, "My door can block negative influences. She can't feel the aura you release here."
Baili Qing was stunned: "...Speak earlier next time!"
Yu Sheng suddenly laughed dryly: "Well, you guys continue chatting... continue chatting..."
As he spoke, he moved a little to the side, making a gesture to leave space for Baili Qing and Luo.
Irene took advantage of the situation and slid down Yu Sheng's arm, using the cover of a chair to go around to the side of the door.
Several thin black threads quietly spread in the air, and gradually penetrated to the opposite side along the edge of the door frame.
Baili Qing had obviously noticed Yu Sheng and Ai Lin's little tricks. Although she wasn't sure what they were up to, she immediately cooperated and started to divert Luo's attention. "The key point now is that your project has posed a threat to the border area. If you can't control the situation, then I have no other choice. We've already found your lair..."
"Threat... very good," the blond elf on the other side of the door suddenly laughed, "but you might be a little late - I've already entered the emergency code, soon..."
A sense of warning came over her, and she suddenly stopped.
Black threads that were imperceptible to the naked eye swayed in the air.
Twisted space cracks suddenly appeared all around!
A dozen mass-produced dolls instantly filled the maintenance room opposite the gate, clanging and shooting around, then rushed forward, picked up the blond elf and ran straight over here!
“Wait, wait! Who are you! What are you doing… Let me go! Let go—”
