Chapter 554 An incredible guess
Seeing that Li Ming was not wearing a mecha, Robin's tense expression couldn't help but relax a little.
He knew that this was the exclusive virtual conference hall for participants in the joint organization of higher life forms.
Under normal circumstances, the one who would attend would definitely be Lord Qinglong, not Li Ming.
Although the matter was a bit urgent at the moment, he still felt uneasy when he really had to face Boss Qinglong.
"What's wrong?" Li Ming asked when he saw his anxious look.
As he finished speaking, Robin had already rushed in front of him in two steps. He was about to speak, but seemed a little embarrassed.
After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "I have a friend who is in trouble and I want to help him..."
Li Ming's expression changed slightly, and he immediately guessed whether there was a trap here.
Prince Heckler, who has been thinking about the chosen one, has made a move more than half a year since his last move, and it seems that the time has come for him to make a move.
"What friends? Is there something wrong?" Li Ming asked.
"A guy named Zorro. We hung out together for a while, and we were close friends. I saved him, and he saved me." Robin couldn't help but explain:
"He asked me for help about a month and a half ago, but I ignored him at first."
"A month and a half ago?" Li Ming's face was puzzled. "Aren't you two...friends who risked their lives together?"
Mentioning this, Robin's face was a little embarrassed. "He's a bit unreliable. After I followed you, he often sent me cooperation invitations for a while, but I didn't accept them."
"This idiot thought I was kidnapped. When he first asked me for help, I thought he was joking."
Li Ming's expression became more and more puzzled, and he looked at Robin with a strange look. It was really a relationship of "love and hate".
Robin was anxious but didn't notice, and continued, "After the first time, more than half a month later, he came to me for help a second time, saying he had offended the Empire. I thought he was joking."
"He's a very perceptive guy. He's unlikely to offend the empire."
"Until just now, he asked me for help for the third time and also attached a video."
Robin came over, took out his smart terminal, and played a video. The picture was shaking, the sound was noisy and chaotic, and the angle of view was weird, as if it was a candid shot.
Most of the video is occupied by silver metal fences, as if the person shooting the video is in prison.
From time to time, soldiers would walk by, wearing heavy black combat armor with clear Imperial insignia on them.
This is the first half of the video. The second half shows a disheveled, disheveled guy madly cursing Robin. The scene keeps shaking, the background is weird, and the sky is bright blue.
"...Robin, I fuck you..., I fuck you..."
Robin said helplessly: "I just realized that he was really captured by the Empire..."
Li Ming asked Suzaku to analyze the video instead of synthesizing it. He thought for a moment and then asked:
"...This is the Empire's "Wandering Legion," which mainly operates in the dimensional world. Are your friends in the dimensional world?"
Robin nodded. "Yes, it seems that some strange changes have occurred in the dimensional world recently. Some main creatures have died inexplicably, and many people have taken advantage of it. That's why he went to the dimensional world to try his luck."
"He even invited me, but I rejected him."
misfortune?
Li Ming asked Zhuque to check again and found that this was indeed the case.
The changes in the shallow dimensional world have been happening for some time, attracting many scavengers. Some people even picked up dead A-level or even S-level dimensional creatures and made a fortune.
No one knows the specific cause yet.
It seemed that there was nothing wrong. Li Ming paused for a moment and said, "According to what you said before, he seems to have escaped from the clutches of the empire at least three times?"
"This..." Robin hesitated and said hesitantly: "Actually, I am also very surprised by this matter. He is just a B-level life form. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for him to escape from the clutches of the Empire."
"Not to mention, he even escaped three times in a row."
"The messages he sent me were very confusing." Robin took out the records and looked through them. Some of them were specially encrypted codes that only Robin could decipher.
Many black hole networks do not trust others and use encryption to transmit information.
Robin narrated: "...It's said that he discovered a black gold liquid oil field in a certain dimensional world, but something very strange happened. A blue light ball entered his body, and then he was captured by the Empire..."
"As for how he escaped, he said he suspected he had awakened some kind of special ability. He was able to find the perfect moment every time to evade all the guards and surveillance cameras, as if he had rehearsed it countless times..."
"However, he is alone and cannot travel across dimensions, so he can't get far each time."
"Blue light ball? Perfect timing?" Li Ming vaguely felt that the situation was a little strange.
Such a bizarre plot is indeed unlikely to be something Heckler could come up with.
However, after thinking about it, he said, "No matter what, you should not go out first."
Robin's face turned anxious, and he gritted his teeth and wanted to say something, but then he heard Li Ming say: "There should be an exploration team in the dimensional world. Let them go there..."
Robin finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Li Ming say this.
People like them don't have many real friends, and one less is one less.
Li Ming said halfway when he thought, "Oh, the coordinates are still a problem. Where was he captured?"
When Robin mentioned this, his expression became a little strange again. He scratched his head and said, "There is another particularly outrageous thing..."
"Every time he asked me for help, he would leave a coordinate, claiming that he would arrive there in half a month, so I could ambush him in advance."
"Although he's unreliable, he probably won't say anything when his life is at stake, but..."
Robin himself didn't know how to describe it. It was too bizarre to predict where he would arrive in half a month.
But Li Ming seemed to have triggered some key words at this moment, and his eyes were flashing with brilliance.
The changes in the shallow dimensional world, the blue ball of light that merged into his body, the incredibly precise timing to escape from the Empire, and even the ability to predict where he would appear in half a month...
"No way... This is too..." Li Ming had an incredible guess in his mind and suddenly asked, "How's your friend's luck?"
"Luck?" Robin didn't quite understand. He hesitated and recalled, "You could call it bad luck..."
"According to him, his mother was originally the daughter of a high-ranking official in a small civilization, but she eloped with her bodyguard, leading to his difficult childhood."
"Later, his grandfather found his mother, but he hated him so much that he killed his father and left him to fend for himself..."
"...Later, her maternal grandfather died suddenly. His mother used forceful means to seize a portion of the family inheritance and took him back. He originally thought that good things were about to begin."
"..." Who would have thought that after all her trials and tribulations, his mother had long since realized that her original choice was a complete mistake, and she remarried, gave birth to new offspring, and didn't treat him very well either..."
“…”
Robin knew it in detail. Li Ming listened carefully and his expression gradually became extremely strange.
Zorro's life can be called "legend". Although he is not popular, he is quite outstanding with his own abilities. Just when his mother is about to entrust him with an important task.
The civilization where he lived launched a political purge, his family was wiped out in an instant, and he himself became a prisoner.
After that, he experienced a series of misfortunes, escaping from prison, being caught by robbers, and so on...
“…Which means that he is not simply unlucky, but when he encounters something good, his situation will take a turn for the worse…” Li Ming concluded.
"You could say that..." Robin touched his nose, speechless.
"When you put it that way, I have an idea in my mind." Li Ming nodded involuntarily, but Robin still didn't understand what he meant.
Li Ming took out his smart terminal and contacted Ulrich, "How many S-class mechanical bodies do we have in the dimensional world?"
Ulrich pondered for a moment before responding, "There are three machines exploring the dimensional world."
"Send five more."
Robin's pupils shrank slightly. Eight S-class machines?
He was a little confused by such a big scene. How could his face be so important?
I couldn't help but feel touched and my eyes immediately turned red.
When he came, he was ready to cry, make a fuss, and even commit suicide. He hoped that Li Ming would save his friend because he had cooperated for so long.
"As for the coordinates..." Li Ming looked up. Robin suddenly came back to his senses and quickly responded, "I'll send it to you right away."
"Send it directly to Ulrich. Send someone to those coordinates and rescue a man named Zorro from me. Robin will send you the relevant information."
Li Ming said, and added, "We are facing the Empire, but don't pay any attention to it. If anyone resists, kill them without mercy."
Ulrich was surprised, then nodded and immediately went to make the arrangements.
"Eight, should be enough..." Li Ming pondered. According to Zorro's description, the Empire should not have discovered his specialness yet, but it should be soon.
"That's definitely enough, that's enough." Robin's throat rolled over, and he realized something in his heart. He asked cautiously, "Is he also involved in something big?"
"It's hard to say." Li Ming shook his head and did not give an accurate answer.
Robin felt helpless, knowing that it was pointless to ask further questions, so he could only leave with a heavy heart.
"Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case..." Li Ming was still thinking about it. He returned to the Heavenly Palace and didn't dare to come to a conclusion about his guess.
However, saving a person doesn't take much effort.
You’ll know once you rescue them.
He casually took a tube of development agent from the refrigerator and continued to develop the genetic seeds.
Currently, his development progress has reached 52%.
After the upgrade of [Magnetic Crystal Heavy Domain], the time required for his gene seed to advance by 1% at the current stage has been shortened to one and a half months.
Compared with other people, it is already an extremely terrifying speed, but Li Ming often sighs that it is still a bit slow.
There are two major hurdles ahead, 60% and 90%, at which the development progress will be severely slowed down.
Not counting attenuation, it will take at least six and a half years to reach 100%.
If he calculated it, he estimated that if this amount was not doubled, it would be impossible to keep up with the development progress.
However, there are very few items that can affect the development progress, not to mention the Domination-level source material, which is almost impossible to come by.
“…The Eternal Holy Throne…” The Titan relic suddenly appeared in his mind.
That thing must be of great use, but the problem is that he doesn't even know its coordinates.
The one called Lingshou disappeared without a trace, and it was impossible to find a way to stop him.
"And... the Star of Eternal Silence..." Li Ming muttered, "I wonder if I can use the time difference to evolve faster."
There were many similar ideas in the cultural and entertainment products of the past life, and there are also many similar wonderful ideas in the current interstellar space.
But the application of time technology has not yet reached this level.
There is also the important constraint mechanism of individual time intensity, which causes the idea to remain at only a few mediocre papers.
Highly active energy particles continuously flow out of the body, but are suppressed by gravity on the surface of the skin.
His mind, unmoored from controlling his body, was highly active, with all sorts of information and thoughts constantly pouring into his head, ultimately focusing on the meeting that had just concluded:
"...I'm afraid the Empire is in turmoil. I wonder how many X-level life forms are secretly communicating and ready to take action..."
The empire's upheaval was much faster than Li Ming had imagined.
The development took only half a day, and the meeting was not over for a day.
An old acquaintance from the empire called him.
"Your Highness, it's been a long time since we last contacted each other." Li Ming looked at the virtual screen in front of him.
Abel's face looked calmer and more composed than ever before, with a feeling of someone who showed no emotion at all, giving off the air of a big shot.
Abel sighed, "It's been a while. I've been very busy lately."
After a brief greeting, he tentatively asked, "You should know why I contacted you, right?"
Li Ming couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. This guy had some tricks up his sleeve again.
He said nonchalantly, "I guess it's because of the United Organization of Higher Life Forms?"
Abel's eyes flickered slightly. The meeting had just ended half a day ago. He received the news because he had high-level intelligence personnel under his command.
Li Ming obviously did not have such a channel, and the only way he could know about it firsthand was from Qinglong.
Li Ming might know about this matter or not, but Qinglong still informed him immediately, which shows how much he values it.
"That's right." Abel said in a deep voice, "This matter has caused a stir within the empire. My father has already held a closed-door meeting to discuss how to deal with it."
"However, apart from those high-ranking figures, there are also many people who secretly began to criticize the organization that my father founded."
"You can't say that..." Li Ming said "unhappily": "These people can't just say they're useful when they're enjoying the benefits."
"The Silver Revolutionary Army has been beaten so badly that they dare not show their heads. No one wants to see what is happening now, but someone is secretly plotting something, and there is nothing we can do."
