Chapter 284 Black Hole Hall Ford: I thought you were dead
There is only one account that has it, and that was the account named [Shadow] that was recommended by Uncle Cripple on the Silver-Ash Star at the very beginning.
He didn't know exactly when it was created, nor did he know what it was used for. There was no explanation on it, and he was puzzled by it for a long time.
Later, he applied for a pseudonym account, and there was no such logo on his other accounts. Over time, he forgot about it.
Unexpectedly, I saw something almost identical on the account of this S-level assassin.
He didn't recognize the following symbols, but he did recognize the bounty hunter's rank mark, which was almost at the end.
The edge is gold and the inner circle is red. It is no longer an ordinary number, but a star symbol. I don’t know what level it is.
And this inconspicuous vertical pupil logo can actually be ranked at the front.
"You have a black pupil mark too." Li Ming pretended to be surprised and did not react too much.
He didn't know what the requirements were for this kind of badge, but it shouldn't have much to do with strength. He could get it when he was on Silver-Ash Star, so it would be wrong to be too surprised.
"Black pupil mark?" An Ye was bewildered. He took the smart terminal, looked down at it, and said suddenly, "You mean the palace mark?"
"You call it the Palace Mark?" Li Ming was very calm, acting as if it was a difference in regional names.
This thing definitely doesn't have a unified name. He's ordered it several times before and there's no explanation. Even if there is a unified name, isn't it normal to give it a nickname?
"That's what I call it anyway..." An Ye didn't care. "Only accounts supported by the Black Hole Network have this logo. There's an organization called the Black Hole Hall in the Land of Chaos, and having this logo is a requirement for membership."
"Over time, we all called it that."
"Oh." Li Ming suddenly realized that it was because of the support of the black hole network. He had guessed it at the time, but did not think about it in detail.
Watching An Ye enter his password, the range of his fingers became blurry and unclear, preventing the specific password from being guessed by the distance moved.
He was quite curious: "You have this kind of secret society over there. Was it formed by the Black Hole Network?"
"I don't know either." An Ye shook his head and frowned. "This Black Hole Palace has existed for many years and has a wide range of influence. After all, no one who can be supported by the Black Hole Network is a simple person."
"After joining, you can get a lot of resources and support, as well as regular gatherings. I'm not sure whether it was organized by the Black Hole Network."
"Black Hole Network wants to hire people with Hall of Fame badges, usually through backstage letter hiring, and the price is quite high. This method has become somewhat public, and it is inconsistent with their purpose."
Li Ming pondered, thinking that the people who planned to build this black hole palace were really powerful, which was equivalent to picking peaches from the black hole network.
After all, these people have been specially screened, and the most difficult talent screening has been done by Black Hole Network.
"Actually, I'm going to go to the palace to ask about the A-level gene seed you want." An Ye added.
Judging from Qinglong's tone, it was obvious that he also had this logo, so he said a little more.
"It sounds like there are a lot of resources that can be leveraged in it. I really want to see it if I have the chance." Li Ming pretended to be emotional.
"There's only one requirement for joining the guild, and that's possessing the Hall Mark. It's not demanding at all. When you return to the Land of Chaos with me, you'll naturally be able to join." An Ye said casually, "A Forge-Star Mechanic, no one will object."
Li Ming smiled gently and said that this was enough, anything more would be too much.
"Damn Black Hole Network! They can't even lower the shipping rates." An Ye's mouth twitched as he cursed harshly before putting away his smart device. "Next, all we have to do is wait."
Li Ming nodded and looked at An Ye who was about to leave. His heart moved slightly, "Sir An Ye, I have a question, I don't know..."
An Ye glanced over and said with a faint smile: "Why did you assassinate Grand Duke Gu Ya?"
Li Ming nodded. "Logically speaking, high-ranking officials of this civilization generally wouldn't receive a bounty."
Assassinating such a person will always do more harm than good, unless it is simply to vent personal vendetta, but it would be difficult for someone with such an idea to contact this An Ye.
"I definitely can't tell you the reason." An Ye grinned, his eyes dark: "But you may know it later."
There was no answer, which was also within Li Ming's expectations. This question was just out of his simple curiosity.
After sending An Ye away, Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief and took out the [Heart of Talos]. The touch of it was similar to flesh and blood, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation. This was his first S-level control object.
S-level controlled objects all have very powerful abilities, such as the [Star Killer Spear]. Although it does not have extremely terrifying data, its ability is enough to prove everything.
[Information Erasure]: A-level life forms have no resistance at all and will die if hit.
This level of ability is far more useful than data support.
The ability of [Heart of Talos] allows the power blessing to switch back and forth between the four basic blessings.
It may not look strong, but in fact, it has great potential in specific combat.
It can even be said that he only needs to stack up one kind of power blessing, without wasting energy on other aspects, which saves a lot of resources, time and energy.
I just don't know what the effect is, but it should be very good. He unconsciously rubbed the yellow and black heart in his hand.
…
Around the shattered star, several purple standard warships broke free from the jump state, their propulsion engines spewing fireworks as they cruised around.
Purple thorn flowers were spray-painted on the metal shell, which was the logo of the Itlan civilization - the Thorn Flower Fleet.
"It should be here. The energy spectrum is overactive and there are obvious signs of combat."
A chattering noise echoed through the channel, and a muffled voice issued an order: "Inspect this area quickly, and report any abnormalities immediately."
"yes!"
Several warships separated, and more than ten minutes later, they landed on the wreckage of a broken planet. They were all wearing tight combat armor, and they were cautious and worked in teams of two.
Ahead are the ruins of the Torch Organization's temporary base.
"...There are the remains of metal buildings, probably something like a small base..."
They took various detection equipment to collect residual information.
"...The energy spectrum is overactive. Based on data model analysis, there is a suspected battle between Class A life forms."
Someone was responsible for exploring the ruins of the base and searched inside and out, but found nothing.
"It was cleaned up very well. The people here are obviously not an ordinary organization."
"Captain! Come quickly!"
Suddenly, a scream was heard in the channel, and all the soldiers quickly headed towards the coordinates.
Beneath the accumulated dust lay a charred corpse, its armor nearly melted. A soldier squatting beside it said in a deep voice, "It has a turbine horn on its head, diamond-shaped cyan pupils, cyan skin, and slender ears with no earlobes. It has four fingers. It's from the Kamppi tribe."
"Torch!" The captain's pupils shrank. Due to special reasons, this race had long been extinct in the Silver Star Cluster, and almost all the remaining people were in the Torch Organization.
"I'll report to His Royal Highness the Prince!" The captain quickly stood up and left in a hurry.
………
After sending An Ye away, Li Ming finally had time to deal with the news from the Black Hole Network background.
At first, the external identity of the account was Li Ming, and not many people sent messages.
There were only a few sporadic messages, and I gave Uncle Que a brief reply first. The other party was well-informed and even knew that Qinglong was his teacher.
The first few messages were all expressing their feelings, saying that he had returned to the Blue Star, found a remote planet, and was preparing to retire.
After noticing that Li Ming had not responded for a long time, he became a little worried and asked him how he was doing.
Li Ming copied and pasted the previous message and made some minor modifications.
Then came his senior brother Ya Luo, who sent him a short essay in a very eloquent manner, which roughly meant, "Brother, I'm scared to death, how come you are so powerful?"
However, it was said very vaguely, and even in the conversation on the black network, his identity was not specified.
Finally, he left a coordinate, saying that he was temporarily isolated from the interstellar space, and told Li Ming to come back to him when he was sure that his presence would not cause any trouble.
"Interesting..." Li Ming shook his head. Since Yaluo had destroyed his smart terminal, he was too lazy to reply.
The last one he clicked on was Ford's dialog box. This guy had sent him a lot of messages.
There was a message every two or three days, and the frequency was very high for a period of time. Calculating the time, it should be the time when Connit was ambushed by Asmara.
"That's perfect. Let me ask him about the specific situation outside." Li Ming clicked on the communication link and did not respond for a long time.
He didn't care and casually browsed through a few sections and took a look at the regional forums on the Black Hole Network.
Most of the discussion was about the big events of the recent period, and the Land of Stars was no longer the latest big news.
"The Inquisitor's Judgment Legion and the Combined Fleet recently engaged in a firefight... Latest news, videos, and private chat for trade."
This was the hottest topic of discussion in recent times. Li Ming took a quick look and found a lot of fragmented information, including fake news, which was of little value.
As he was watching, a message came from backstage that Ford responded to him.
"Why does this guy like video connections so much..." Li Ming was speechless and chose to turn off his camera to answer the call.
The next moment, Ford's long-lost big face jumped out, and he looked very excited. He said, "Li Ming, you... I thought you were dead."
Li Ming was speechless. Seeing that he didn't respond immediately, Ford became suspicious and couldn't help but ask, "Is it Li Ming?"
"Or did someone steal his account, Lord Qinglong?"
"You have a very rich imagination." Li Ming was speechless.
"It's really you..." Ford breathed a sigh of relief. "What have you been doing all this time? Your teacher went to the Torch Organization, you can't possibly go with him."
"There are some unexpected situations, don't worry about them." Li Ming was vague, there was no need to explain to Ford.
"Forget it, forget it. It's a good thing you didn't wait until this matter was over before contacting me." Ford shook his head. He had been too suspicious recently and wanted to get answers. When the words came to his lips, he asked, "Do you know about Deyes? What's going on with him?"
"At first I thought he had been instigated by Asmara, but it seems that wasn't the case."
The three thousand boiling blood alloy model blocks last time really puzzled him. His father seemed to think that it was his work.
"Wrong, he was indeed instigated by Asmara, but he was tricked by my teacher." Li Ming explained.
"What do you mean?" Ford was stunned and asked subconsciously, but the next moment he showed a thoughtful expression.
"Asmara is right, but Lord Qinglong is interfering?"
"That's right." Li Ming nodded. Ford couldn't help but exclaimed, "Your Excellency Qinglong actually discovered that Deyes was in contact with Asmara!"
"What's the current situation within the Torch Organization?" Ford asked immediately.
"It's hard to say, it's quite complicated. If I have to summarize it, it's just four words: ready to go." Li Ming pondered and spoke vaguely.
There were too many things involved, some of which he wasn't prepared to tell Ford.
"Ready to go?" Ford frowned slightly and said in a more detailed way, "What did the Torch Organization ask His Excellency Qinglong to create?"
"A special instrument that can increase the concentration of sublimated particles in living organisms. You should know why this is done."
The two of them asked and answered each other, and Li Ming told Ford a lot of harmless news.
"One last question." Ford took a deep breath. "Not long ago, we detected an extremely high-energy explosion nearby. After sending people to investigate, we discovered what appears to be a temporary base of the Torch Organization."
"Did you know about this?"
"You've indeed discovered it." Li Ming wasn't surprised. He pondered, "This news is extraordinary. I'll need to use up the favor you gave to the [Subspace Folding Fortress] last time."
Ford's eyes moved slightly. He and Li Ming didn't care much about ordinary information exchanges, but information involving major turning points could not be easily revealed. He nodded and said, "No problem."
"There is an internal conflict in the Torch Organization." Li Ming uttered a few words, and Ford's expression suddenly changed, and he looked stunned.
Li Ming continued, "My teacher teamed up with Theo to kill Corvis and Fernand. Of the three A-level life forms of the Torch Organization, only Connet is left."
"What?" Ford was even more surprised. This news was too sudden.
Two of the three A-level life forms of the Torch Organization were killed.
"Why is there an internal conflict?" he asked subconsciously.
Li Ming shook his head: "The situation here is very complicated and involves many aspects. You don't need to know. This is the result."
Suddenly, he frowned and said, "Stop shaking..."
Ford's camera had been shaking since the beginning, as if he was greatly shocked by the news. He paced back and forth, his expression changing.
Hearing this, he stopped and asked impatiently, "What now?"
This is the real intelligence. Just releasing this information is a great achievement.
He was eager to know more.
But Li Ming just smiled slightly and said nothing.
Ford suddenly realized it, and just as he was about to speak, he glanced around with a guilty conscience and whispered, "The situation has escalated. A big guy has arrived from the Judge Civilization. The four-armed demon king of shattered space, Sky-Splitting Reina, has arrived."
