Chapter 434: Undercover in the Undercover
"Not taking seeds again?"
Li Ming noticed this sudden change and felt relieved. He also suppressed the idea of beating the two guys to death in front of him.
He originally thought that the Holy Mother Church was really ready to break up with him, but he didn't expect that they were still concerned about the existence of Qinglong and only came to take his seed.
But now he has become an S-level life form, and by accident, he made the other party change his mind.
He pondered in his heart, and Kaina quickly said, "However, we have no contingency plan, let alone a contact person."
"No need for support," the prophet interrupted, his voice coming from the jewel necklace. "Just let Li Ming take us out. He has a very high authority here, so there's no need to explain to anyone."
Kaina nodded, her eyes twinkling. "To avoid any accidents, do you want to get some seeds first?"
"It's no longer possible." The prophet's illusory figure shook his head. "He's already an S-class life form. The probes we prepared can't break his skin."
Kaina walked to the table and picked up the necklace. The chain that passed through the gems was extremely delicate. She pulled it out gently and twisted it with her hands. The seemingly complicated chain turned into a thin needle that was difficult to see with the naked eye.
She tried to prick Li Ming's skin, and sure enough, the seemingly fair skin was tougher than steel, and she couldn't push it in with her strength.
"What a pity! This spiral crystal glass is the hardest material that can evade routine testing..." Seeing this, Kaina sighed helplessly.
It’s not that they don’t want to prepare harder materials, but the Mechanical Royal Court’s testing measures are not just for show.
During the six months she had been lurking, she had nearly been discovered several times. If she hadn't reacted quickly, she would have been a corpse.
The prophet is giving instructions to "Li Ming", asking him to prepare a spaceship and take Kaina away from the Mechanical Royal Court.
Kaina hesitated slightly, "Prophet, can you control him and let him take the seed himself?"
"Is there something wrong?" Li Ming looked at Kaina through the two small windows in front of him. She could have taken him away, so why was she still thinking about the seeds?
"No." The prophet shook his head and explained, "He's already an S-class life form. His spirit is more resilient than I imagined, and I only have a portion of it. Excessive physical stimulation will cause fluctuations in my spirit, and there's a risk of it getting out of control."
"What's more, bringing him back with him will be like an endless source of seeds."
Kaina explained calmly, "I just wanted to be prepared. If anything goes wrong, we won't end up with nothing."
Her explanation was appropriate, and the prophet nodded. "But the conditions do not exist right now. It's just a matter of time, and it can't be resolved."
Kaina was silent, looking Li Ming up and down, and couldn't help but say, "I don't know how high his development potential is."
The prophet was also extremely curious about this, but shook his head: "We can only wait until it is safe to test again. Right now, I just want to leave here without any problems."
"Every minute you stay here, the greater the chance of being exposed."
Soon, Li Ming's smart terminal rang. It was Ulrich, "Sir Li Ming, are you going out?"
"Yes." Li Ming nodded. Ulrich stared at him for a while, then nodded: "I understand, the spaceship is ready."
"Also, is Kaina okay?" he asked again.
"There's a problem, he's a spy." Under the control of the prophet, Li Ming made shocking remarks.
Kaina was horrified, but Ulrich seemed to be thinking, "As expected... I was wondering why she would come to the Mechanical King's Court with such an impressive resume."
Any abnormal and strange behavior must have deep-seated reasons behind it.
For Ulrich, Kaina's sudden action during the ceremony, possibly motivated by affection, was ranked last.
"It was my mistake," Ulrich apologized.
"It's okay. I just want to follow the clues to find out who is behind this and also to establish my authority." He looked calm.
Kaina finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Tsk tsk..." Li Ming watched in secret. This prophet was really brave and careful.
Ulrich nodded, as if finally relieved.
However, after the communication ended, his face darkened. Li Ming went into too much detail. He had never known about such plans before.
"Lord Suzaku, please help me gather all the A-class machines and notify Monroe..."
Suzaku suddenly condensed into shape, "Sir Ulrich, the master told you not to worry about this matter, just watch."
Ulrich paused. "Your Excellency Qinglong knows? I understand."
Zhuque nodded and disintegrated into the void again.
………
After receiving the news that the spaceship was ready, under the control of the prophet, Li Ming took Kaina out of the core base and boarded the prepared spaceship.
Kaina remained silent. Although the journey was smooth, she still felt uneasy, fearing that the Azure Dragon would descend from the sky at the last moment.
Buzz--
The engine of the Violet small spaceship spewed out purple flames, and the powerful thrust made the spaceship quickly take off into the air, like a dazzling meteor streaking through the sky, leaving a gorgeous purple trail behind it.
It broke through the atmosphere, entered the deep space orbit, and under the guidance of the intelligent system, passed through the royal court's dedicated channel and quickly approached the star gate transfer node that had been upgraded long ago.
A second-level star gate is far from comparable to a fourth-level star gate. The transit node is shaped like a steel fortress, and the huge metal structure flashes with a cold light.
The surface is covered with various facilities and devices, including a spacecraft coating station, which can cover a spacecraft with a positioning coating in no more than thirty seconds.
The star gate is like a kitchen knife, splitting the entire transit node into two halves. The back part is the entrance and the front part is the exit. More than two thousand tracks run in an orderly manner.
Countless spaceships shuttled back and forth, transferring and docking in an orderly manner under intelligent guidance, their tail flames weaving countless colorful trajectories.
As the royal court's spacecraft, it uses an exclusive special channel.
Kaina selected the coordinates on the screen, her fingers trembling. The orbit moved forward, and the huge star gate was right in front of her. It was not until a second after it entered the star gate that the tense nerves in her body relaxed a little.
"I really brought it out." She exhaled slowly, a little dazed.
The prophet's voice rang in her ears, "We're not completely out of danger yet. Although he said he didn't have any tracking devices on him, Qinglong might have left something on him that Li Ming himself doesn't know about."
Kaina nodded, and a few hours later, they jumped out of the stargate node and arrived at the new transit node - Crotal.
In this transit node, there is their branch, and they provide a series of technical support, including [Frequency Disruptor], [Psychic Interference Cage], [Information State Shielding Fortress] and other blocking devices, all of which are put on Li Ming.
After confirming that there would be no signal fluctuations emitted from him and that the information state was completely isolated, he breathed a sigh of relief, abandoned the old spaceship, and boarded the new one.
In the cabin, the blue gem trembled continuously, and an invisible mental membrane fell on the metal cabin in front of it.
The shadow cast by the prophet was more than dispersed, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief. "With another layer of mental isolation, there shouldn't be any accidents now."
"I put him into a temporary sleep. Mind control requires constant consumption of mental energy. The mental toughness of an S-level life form is too high. I can hardly hold on."
"Now we can notify the Mother and ask her to prepare to send someone to pick us up." The prophet said that although they received technical support from the personnel at the transit node, they did not disclose the mission situation.
Only now, after ensuring that everything is foolproof, are we ready to contact the headquarters.
Kaina nodded, took out the smart terminal, and walked around the cabin.
The prophet stared at Li Ming who was sleeping in the metal cabin, and couldn't help feeling a little excited. With a wave of his hand, the metal cabin stood up and stuck to the cabin wall.
The harvest this time was beyond imagination. No wonder Qinglong had always refused to mention Li Ming’s seeds. There must be a huge secret hidden in them.
She felt her spiritual body was heating up. If the main body knew... Hmm? Hmm!
The prophet suddenly came back to his senses and heard a continuous "hissing" sound. Green smoke rose from the sapphire, and a big hole was corroded out of it.
"You..." The scattered spirit of the prophet suddenly looked at Kaina who was retreating continuously. She was holding a glass bottle as thick as a thumb in her hand.
He also carved a strange symbol on his forehead with blood and muttered something.
"Well, there are other changes?" Li Ming couldn't help but feel surprised and watched quietly.
"What... did you do?" The prophet was shocked and angry. Without the [Secret Energy Gem], given her current weakness, it would soon completely dissipate.
Kaina did not respond, but just kept muttering something. A breeze suddenly blew in the cabin, and a wave invisible to the naked eye rushed towards Kaina.
Blood-red ripples suddenly appeared on his side, and the whole person seemed to be hit by a huge force. He flew backwards, hit the cabin wall, and fell to the floor.
"Are you a conservative?" The prophet seemed to finally understand, but his spiritual body was almost unable to remain stable and was twisted and scattered.
Kaina spat out a mouthful of blood, stared at the prophet's scattered spirit body, still silent, muttering to herself.
"You..." The prophet uttered the last word, and then completely dispersed.
Kaina seemed worried and recited for a while before she relaxed. She sat down on the ground and vomited a pool of blood. Then she breathed a long sigh of relief and leaned against the cabin wall with her hair loose.
A "ho ho" sound came from his mouth, and then gradually became higher and higher. His delicate cheeks became ferocious, his shoulders shrugged, and his laughter echoed lonely in the cabin, and was finally choked by a dry cough.
"Virgin Mary, Prophet, Azure Dragon... I actually got the most benefit from this group of people..." She climbed up and looked at Li Ming sleeping in the metal cabin, "S-level life form, it's unbelievable..."
Then, her expression changed slightly again, "What a pity, my entire line will be lifted, but it's worth it."
If she could get Li Ming's seeds, she would still have a chance to operate without having to reveal her identity, but unfortunately there was no chance.
None of them could hold down the awakened Li Ming.
She was thinking in her mind, but she was not slow in her movements. She came to the operating table and quickly changed the flight coordinates.
"Actually... there is such a good show." Li Ming, who was watching the show in the spiritual space, was a little surprised. This Kaina was an undercover among undercovers.
As for the conservatives mentioned by the prophet, he knew a thing or two about them. He had learned about them when he was researching information about the Holy Mother Church.
Under the great purge initiated by Adam, a serious ideological split occurred among the remaining people.
Some people believe that the previous approach is essentially still dependent on others, and the seemingly complex network of power is actually vulnerable.
Therefore, the idea of holding power in one's own hands, because those beaten by Adam could not take care of themselves, quickly resonated with people, gathered considerable force, and became mainstream.
That is the group of people he had come into contact with before.
But there are still some people who firmly believe that the reason for failure is that they did not control themselves well, and they mistakenly trusted Adam and continued to survive in the same way as before.
After years of development, the two factions have become like water and fire, but overall the radical faction is more powerful and the conservative faction has almost disappeared.
"The conservatives also want to get a share of me... the seeds, so they try to make Kaina the main executor..." Li Ming speculated, and couldn't help but become more speechless. Why did everyone want his seeds?
"Kaina has already backstabbed me. Now I should be taken to the conservatives' lair."
For him, the difference is not that big, and it may even be safer. The strength of the radicals cannot be underestimated, but the conservatives are much weaker.
"Whether conservative or radical, as long as there are benefits..."
…
In the deep meditation room of the Virgin Mary Church’s lair, which is nowhere to be found, the prophet is suspended in mid-air, with all kinds of strange scenes constantly changing around him.
At a certain moment, her eyes suddenly opened.
"You dare!"
The boiling spiritual fluctuations surged out violently, like shattered glass, the illusory scenes around him collapsed, and ripples like water waves penetrated the entire nest.
All the members of the organization covered their ears and wailed in pain.
"What's wrong?" The Virgin Mary appeared silently, her whole body shrouded in black veil, with a slender figure and a slightly frowned brow. It was rare to see the prophet look so out of control.
The prophet gasped, and the pain from her spiritual body seemed to split her in half.
"My spiritual source has been destroyed." The prophet's voice was cold. It was difficult for spiritual power to exist outside the body, let alone have its own consciousness.
The spiritual source seed is a part of the severed spiritual body. Even if the spiritual power attached to it dissipates, the source seed will not disappear. After it comes back, her spiritual body will be completely complete.
"Hmm?" The Virgin Mary's eyes narrowed slightly, and she frowned again: "Qinglong finally found out. It's really hard to hide it from him."
"It's not Qinglong!" The prophet became increasingly angry. "We even brought Li Ming out."
"Bring Li Ming out?" The Virgin Mary's expression changed slightly, and she said in a deep voice, "Why bring him out? Our original plan was just to get some seeds. I don't want to start a full-scale war with Qinglong yet."
"There was an accident..." The prophet's expression became more and more ugly. He was just one step away, just one step away, and it was disrupted.
"What accident?" The Virgin Mary frowned.
