Chapter 189 [Flowers of Casablanca] The Blame
"You truly are worthy of being called a great mechanic. I underestimated you. You actually saw through my disguise." Serrad smiled bitterly. "When I ran into these golden-eyed people, I thought I was just lucky."
"As a result, if I hadn't followed them to meet the great mechanic, my identity wouldn't have been exposed."
Sekard said sadly, "But it's worth it. A-class life forms and great mechanics all moved because of me."
"Because of you?" Li Ming's meaning was unclear. "You must have misunderstood something. I didn't come here for you."
Mogaro on the ground suddenly felt cold all over.
"You're not here because of me?" Serrad was confused, and then looked at the golden-eyed people lying on the ground, especially the four B-level life forms including Mogaro, and suddenly understood something, and suddenly had the urge to vomit blood.
The escape plan that he had carefully prepared turned out to be a help to this guy. If Mogaro and others had not been lying on the ground, this guy would definitely not have dared to take action.
"You're an unexpected gain." Li Ming asked curiously, "By the way, what did you steal?"
Serad was on the verge of tears, stiffening his neck as he said coldly, "Even if I tell you, you won't let me go. In that case, I don't have the money to help my enemy."
"You..." Li Ming looked him up and down, "You really are not afraid of death."
"Of course I'm afraid," Serad said in a deep voice, "but I know you won't let me go, not only because of what I stole, but also because I've guessed your identity."
"That's like using leverage against you. Don't try to coerce or bribe someone. The best way to silence someone is to kill them."
"He is indeed a famous thief." Li Ming praised again.
"However, you were just about to leave here, so the things must be on this spaceship." Li Ming smiled.
Serrad wasn't surprised the other party figured it out. "Haha, this spaceship isn't very big, but turning it upside down would take dozens of hours. It's definitely impossible."
"That was quite a commotion just now. The Night Eyes Mercenaries will definitely come to investigate. Do you have time to look for them?"
Li Ming smiled, didn't care, and waited quietly for an hour.
After the cooldown of the controlled object was over, he immediately switched to [Intelligent Assistance] and quickly scanned the spacecraft.
It only takes about ten minutes.
"You...you...how is it possible!" Serrad was dumbfounded. He saw that the other party was holding a metal box as thick as his arm in his hand.
"You are really amazing, hiding it in the toilet tank..." Li Ming exclaimed.
Serrad laughed miserably, and then became more desperate. The other party went out and took a look around, and found what he had carefully hidden.
After Li Ming broke open the metal box, he found a tube of "golden potion" inside, which was as bright as gold and like a flowing galaxy.
"What is this thing?" Li Ming murmured softly, then glanced at Serad and added, "You don't have to speak. I didn't ask you. I was just talking to myself."
Serrad's heart clenched, his eyes flickered slightly, as if glancing at the ground, "I can tell you what this thing is, but you have to give me a quick death."
"Oh? Tell me about it..." Li Ming gestured for Serad to continue.
"[Casablanca Flower], this is a high-end reagent customized by Theo from the Advanced Biological Company of the Xingyuan Empire. It can enhance the potential of root genes."
Li Ming was silent, then he took a deep breath and couldn't help but look at it carefully, "How could you steal this thing?"
Serrad sighed: "Someone leaked the news, and I took action..."
Before he could finish his words, Serrad, who looked like a cripple, suddenly rushed up, stirring up a green whirlwind. The wind blades tore through the metal floor and rushed towards Li Ming.
At the same time, the four Mogaro men lying on the ground suddenly turned over and stood up, also rolling up various elemental forces, fire, thunder, earth and rocks. The floor was torn apart in an instant, and they all rushed forward.
After more than an hour, the paralyzing effect on their bodies had subsided a lot and they were barely able to move.
Li Ming was not surprised at all. With [Intelligent Assistance], he could clearly see how these people's eyes moved.
In an instant, metallic luster flashed, and blue arcs of electricity burst out like the ocean. Mogaro looked at the golden cloak pulled out from behind the mecha in astonishment, with an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.
Puff!
Serrad's pupils dilated. At some point, a superionic sword appeared in the opponent's right hand and slashed across his body. Blood gushed out and splattered everywhere.
At the same time, an ice blast spear appeared in his left hand, and he threw it out suddenly, directly piercing through the other person who was attacking him and nailing him to the wall. He felt cold and his body gradually became stiff.
During this process, a large number of metal structures climbed up his arms and quickly condensed into a thick gun barrel, with blue plasma gathering.
Buzz--Boom!
It was shot at close range, passed through a person's vertical pupil, and shattered his head.
Swish!
The other man crashed into the metal shield formed by the guard Tepper and was cut in half by the super ion sword that swept across.
Bang! Only Mogaro punched the opponent, the sound was dull and hollow, as if there was no one driving it.
Mogaro raised his head and met the pair of mechanical eyes, and his vision went dark.
Bang!
The mechanical left fist smashed down with immense force, and Mogaro fell to the ground again.
The paralyzing effect of the nerve gas had not completely worn off. They had been accumulating energy for a long time and had put all their strength into this attack, resulting in heavy casualties.
"You...we are judges. If you kill me, there will be more people. You can't protect Kai." Mogaro forced himself to stand up, breathing heavily.
"Do you still think I want to protect him?" Li Ming shook his head helplessly.
"If you don't want to protect him, why are you lurking here?" Mogaro didn't believe it at all.
"I just felt that you would never give up. It was a hidden danger, and it turned out to be true." Li Ming had obtained the highest authority of the spacecraft and retrieved the video of their designated raid plan.
Mogaro gritted his teeth and said, "Our target is only Kai, and we have not caused any harm to you."
"Then should I thank you?" Li Ming chuckled.
Mogaro remained silent.
"Don't worry, no one knows it was me who did it. You still have a chance to make an offer." Li Ming comforted him.
Mogaro pulled up a bitter smile, the sword flashed, and the head was smashed into pieces.
Li Ming looked around and began to clear the area.
Due to the previous movement, the spaceship of the Judge civilization has been surrounded by Night Eyes mercenaries, but is still waiting for the leader.
He removed his armor and used [Space Flash] to easily escape the encirclement.
With the help of Guard Tepper's jet, return to the floating island from the edge.
A few hours later, Lelian, who received the news, hurried over.
"Boss, there's no movement inside. I don't know what's going on." The subordinate reported. Lelian frowned and stared at the spaceship in front of him.
"Are you sure there was a jingling sound?" he asked.
"Sure!" A large number of his men agreed. Lelian hesitated for a moment, then used a ladder to reach the hatch and knocked on it vigorously.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound continued for several minutes, but there was no response from the cabin, neither warning nor communication.
Lei Lian muttered inwardly, turned on the video, and shouted: "If you don't respond, I will try to enter!"
“I really went in!”
"I broke open the hatch!"
Lelian shouted loudly to prove that he was not entering rashly.
However, as soon as the hatch opened a crack, a faint smell of blood came to his face. Lelian's face suddenly changed and he stopped.
Not long after, the Collector arrived. The area was under martial law. He frowned and looked at the gap on the hatch with a cold gaze.
Lelian gritted his teeth and whispered, "Sir, I smelled blood and didn't dare to open the door."
"What's going on?" the Collector demanded.
"I just received a report from my subordinates that the spaceship was behaving abnormally, so..." Lelian explained carefully.
Ulrich snorted coldly, hesitated for a moment, raised his finger, the hatch was torn apart, and the whole person floated in.
Lelian gritted his teeth and followed in immediately.
On the way, he saw the hole that penetrated more than a dozen metal walls, and he couldn't help but feel a little shocked.
The smell of blood became stronger and stronger, until I stepped into the cockpit, my heart tightened, and I saw a large number of people with golden pupils lying in a mess on the ground.
A thin layer of blood covered the entire floor.
A chill ran through his head, and Lelian had only one thought in his mind: It's over!
Ulrich's face turned pale, and an invisible force pulled Lelian up from the ground. A terrifying aura raged out, and the blood on the ground rippled.
"Tell me, what is going on!!"
A large number of golden-eyed people were slaughtered, and the Judge Civilization will definitely not let it go and will definitely make him give an explanation.
Although it is impossible to pay back life with life, this is an unexpected disaster that came out of nowhere.
Lelian felt as if his whole body was crushed, his heart could hardly beat, and it seemed like it would fall apart at any moment.
"Collector... my lord..." Veins popped out on Lelian's face as he spoke with difficulty.
Ulrich calmed down a bit and threw Lelian against the wall.
While panting, Lei Lian explained, "This matter has nothing to do with us. Although we confronted them yesterday, it's impossible that we killed them."
Ulrich frowned. He believed this, but it was precisely because of this that he was in big trouble.
Although this trading island has surveillance, it is just for show. There are too many blind spots, which causes more damage.
There is no way to investigate.
"I suspect it has something to do with Serrad," Lelian continued.
Ulrich took a deep breath and raised his hand. All the corpses on the ground floated up silently, and blood dripped.
"Except for those pieces of meat, all the other bodies have no injuries. They were not killed in a fight." Ulrich frowned.
"Eternal Sleep," Lelian hastily added, "is Serrad. Many of our brothers have fallen victim to it."
"But it seems that everyone on the spaceship has gathered here. Why?" Ulrich asked. Lelian didn't understand either.
The Collector's voice was cold and gloomy: "Stop this news for now and find out what's going on!"
"Yes!" Lelian agreed hurriedly. He was in a dilemma. The lost item had not been found yet, and now this incident happened.
"Let Theo come over. This matter is caused by him. Let him explain to the judge in a civilized manner!" Ulrich said again.
Leilian hesitated and lowered his head: "You should talk to him about this matter."
An invisible huge force swept over, and Lelian felt his body floating uncontrollably, and then he hit the wall. His spine hurt so much, but he also breathed a sigh of relief.
The blockade of the port attracted a lot of attention, and many plunderers were very curious, but after Lelian decisively killed several people, no one dared to come to investigate.
The guards on Li Ming's floating island have been replaced several times, and it seems that they have all been called in for questioning. There are all kinds of speculations on the local Internet.
"I remember the location of that port. It seems that there is a spaceship from the Judge civilization parked there. It is said that all the people on the ship died!" There was a rumor circulating from somewhere.
"Dead? Really?" Many people were surprised. "Those one-eyed people were so domineering. Who would dare to kill them? They're so fierce?"
"I heard it's related to something Nighteyes lost. The person who did it was an expert. They even unplugged the hard drive of the spacecraft and couldn't find anything."
"The collectors are in a lot of trouble this time, tsk tsk..." Some people were gloating.
…
In an unknown land, Jesseia frowned, and a large amount of data streams refreshed in his mechanical pupils like a waterfall.
There were silver-white walls on all sides, and there was nothing else except the table in the middle. In addition to Jessiah, there were two other living beings.
A man with a hunched body, four arms, pale yellow skin, less than one meter tall. On the virtual screen in front of him were a large number of drawings and data.
The other man was pacing, looking very irritated. The tentacles on his head were purple-red, and he was burly and stocky. "Not enough, not enough!"
He suddenly shouted, "Even three great mechanics can't figure it out. This thing is too complicated. It involves so many aspects and a lot of technology we haven't even heard of."
"We have to find at least three more, no, four more!"
"You hear me, you bastard of a torch!" he shouted.
The lights in the room flickered, and the torch leader in a black robe appeared. "Deyes, can't you be a little patient?"
Deyes's expression changed slightly, and his voice became more restrained. "It's not a matter of patience, but the thing you want us to build, no matter how patient we are, we can't build it."
"That's right." The old man nodded. "It's too complicated. Even if the technology was right in front of us, we couldn't make it."
"We need at least three more master mechanics."
The torch leader's face looked a little ugly.
Jessiah's mechanical eyes moved, and he echoed, "It involves some of the Ascendant's technology, which we can't analyze."
The Torch Leader shook his head and said, "There aren't many Grand Mechanics in the nearby star clusters willing to engage with us, and even fewer are willing to take the risk and come."
"It's impossible to find three more. What are the chances of making one?"
Jessiah's eyes flickered slightly, "Maybe we don't need three, one is enough."
"One?" Deyes scoffed. "Jessiah? You've lost your mind."
Jessia ignored him, "A master mechanic of sufficient skill."
Deyes shook his head even more. "Would a mechanic like that be willing to touch a torch? Would he risk coming here?"
The Torch Leader remained silent, then said quietly, "You mean, the Great Mechanic—Qinglong?"
"good."
"Who?" Deyes looked confused. "Where did this great mechanic come from? He's new. Why haven't I heard of him?"
