Chapter 561: Adam’s solution turned out to be me?
"Is this the thing?" Li Ming couldn't help but be stunned. He had seen this thing before. It was in the depths of the Red River Star Stream, and it was held by Prince Kostart at that time.
It is a World Blood detection instrument from Chronoa used to lock Talos.
"...It's someone from the Empire, Chronoa..."
Li Ming was silent, feeling inexplicably amused and confused.
He already understood that Chronoa's betrayal was faster than he had imagined, and he had directly colluded with the Empire.
The Empire has captured him now, and it must be cooperating with Chronoa to fight against the many X-level life forms.
Adam’s solution, turns out to be me.
Li Ming realized that he had overlooked something. According to his previous speculation, it was not yet time for Adam to take action against him.
But the world is not static. Adam is already in a desperate situation. If he doesn't overcome the current crisis, there will be no future.
So the choice was to attack him in order to win over Chlonoa.
At this time, he just announced that he would let Qinglong go to the deep dimensional world, which caused Adam to misunderstand. He mistakenly believed that the Mechanical Royal Court was hollow and decisively attacked him.
"There's actually such a hidden clue. Chronoa is indeed the chance to break the deadlock." Li Ming figured out the general idea from a single thread and couldn't help but shake his head:
"Unfortunately, Azure Dragon doesn't exist at all. If you attack me, you're attacking Azure Dragon."
There is nothing wrong with Adam's idea. If the Azure Dragon really exists, he will probably succeed this time.
As he figured out the current situation, the compass flashed with a scarlet glow, firmly locked on Li Ming.
Night Owl nodded involuntarily, "We can contact the Holy Emperor now."
Hearing this, Li Ming's heart moved slightly, and the urge to kill was suppressed again.
"Lock them both up first." Night Owl ordered, and the executor was Silver Fox.
Invisible energy lifted the two of them and brought them to a special imprisonment cage specially customized for Li Ming.
In the center of the room is a blockade device consisting of sixty-four cross-arranged light beams.
Li Ming was placed in the center, and twelve sets of annular restraint rings protruded from the inner wall and were put on Li Ming. These devices hovered a few millimeters away from the skin, emitting an invisible suppression field.
The high-intensity space blockade and electromagnetic field suppression prove that these people are well prepared.
Li Ming noticed the loosening of the mimic spirit body, and his heart moved slightly, so he simply took over.
"Awake?" Silver Fox noticed Li Ming's subtle reaction and said indifferently, "Stop pretending."
Li Ming was silent and too lazy to act. His main goal now was to figure out his next target.
If he was sent to Adam first, he wouldn't mind pretending for a while and giving the Holy Emperor a big surprise.
Silver Fox was quite surprised. He glanced at Li Ming and said, "You are so calm. Do you think your teacher can come to save you?"
Li Ming remained silent. Silver Fox couldn't help but frown. "It seems that you don't know who has you in your hands."
There was still no response, and Silver Fox couldn't help feeling annoyed.
But then he sneered, wondering why he should get angry with a little guy.
He shook his head, told the guard in the corner to pay close attention, and then left.
After a while, Zorro woke up from his daze, and the first thing he saw was Li Ming who was tied up.
"Boss Li Ming..." He was startled.
Then, the memory before losing consciousness came back.
"They really caught you..." Zorro smiled bitterly, "I'm sorry, I got you into trouble."
Li Ming originally didn't intend to pay attention to him, but after hearing these words, he couldn't help but cast an incredible and weird look at him.
"What do you mean, you've implicated me?" Li Ming didn't quite understand. "This group of people should be coming for me."
"I know." Zorro nodded and said sadly, "But if it weren't for me, they wouldn't have succeeded so easily. Damn my luck."
Li Ming's face changed, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment. He didn't think Zorro was arrogant.
It's a stress response caused by being accustomed to bad luck.
"Don't shout later..." Li Ming shook his head and reminded.
Zoro was confused.
Li Ming's eyes were unfocused, but he had already opened up his control and started switching quickly.
The first is the [3D mimicry jammer], which forms a mimicry area covering the entire room to deceive monitoring measures.
Then, in Zorro's stunned eyes, metal spiders suddenly appeared from the surface of his body.
The moment it appears, it distorts its own outline into the surrounding scene.
This is a special mechanical body built by Li Ming for certain special scenarios. Don’t underestimate these things because they are small. Each one has the strength of an A-level mechanical body.
Under the interference of electromagnetic fields, the movement speed of these little guys is worrying.
But a few seconds after struggling to break through the electromagnetic interference, the soldiers standing guard at the four corners of the room let out a low roar at the same time, fell back, and collapsed against the wall, but they were not really dead, avoiding the life detection device on their bodies.
Immediately afterwards, sparks suddenly exploded from the ceiling.
A metal spider pried open the gap, pulled out a data cable, bit it off with its metal jaws, and suddenly inserted it into itself.
Soon, a soft voice sounded in the room, "Master, I have taken over this spaceship. You can act with confidence."
When Li Ming heard this, the blockade device on his body surface suddenly disappeared, and he casually broke the confinement measures beside him. This should have caused the highest warning, but at this moment there was no reaction.
"This...this..." Zoro was dumbfounded and speechless.
Li Ming took out a smart terminal from somewhere, connected to Suzaku's network, and began to check the specific situation of this group of people.
Maybe it was for hiding, there is only this one spaceship.
“…Show me what they are saying to Adam.” Li Ming gave the order.
"Understood, retrieving external communication signals..."
…
In the main command room, Night Owl, Silver Fox, and Chi Lian gathered together, looking at the virtual screen in awe.
“…So smooth?” Adam couldn’t help but feel a little dazed after hearing the report.
He was extremely wary of Qinglong, and even though he had made a very detailed plan, he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
However, they did not expect it to be so smooth. The whole operation took less than ten minutes, and Li Ming was brought out of the Mechanical Royal Court.
"Your plan is flawless, and the equipment you use is all cutting-edge technology from the Empire. Silver Fox excels at disguise, and Chi Lian specializes in mind control. Li Ming... doesn't stand a chance."
Night Owl lowered his head and said, "The only threat to Azure Dragon is not in the Mechanical Royal Court, so everything will go smoothly."
"No, you don't understand." Adam shook his head. But since it had been successful, it was the best news. "Has the identity been verified?"
"It has been verified and a video has been taken." Night Owl nodded.
Adam glanced to the side, as if watching a video. His expression became increasingly relaxed, and he nodded, "Well done! You succeeded in a mission that even the Star Alliance couldn't accomplish."
"We are just following orders." Night Owl whispered.
Adam remained noncommittal. "Next, you don't need to return to the Empire. Go directly to the Deep Dimensional World and hand the person over to Prince Costat."
"Go directly to the deep dimensional world?" Silver Fox couldn't help but hesitate.
They knew that the deep dimensional world had turned into a chaotic battlefield and was extremely dangerous.
They are barely X-level life forms, their development progress is difficult to make, and they are at the bottom of the strength list. If they go there rashly, they will be serving as food.
"Is there a problem?" Adam's voice was calm. Silver Fox felt a chill in his heart and quickly shook his head: "No problem."
"Very good." Adam nodded. "Hand him over to Prince Costa, and you can return."
The three of them looked at each other and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Send me directly to the deep dimensional world and don't let me return to the empire..." Li Ming felt a little regretful when the virtual projection in front of him collapsed.
If we can make it all the way to the core of the empire, we might gain something else.
"In that case, there's no need to play with them." Li Ming murmured softly, and mechanical bodies walked out of his body.
Eight mechanical guards of different shapes, which had not been active for a long time, gradually filled up most of the room.
Zorro's throat rolled.
Li Ming then said, "Suzaku, block the entire spacecraft's external communication signals. You may mobilize four of the mechanical guards at will to kill anyone who attempts to manually connect to the outside world."
Suzaku said in a calm voice, "Don't worry, no one will be able to connect to the outside world."
The seven mechanical guards disappeared, leaving only one following Li Ming.
Li Ming pushed open the door and saw a group of people lying outside the corridor.
He identified the direction and walked slowly without being impatient. Zorro followed behind him, as if in a dream.
…
In the main command room, Ye Xiao and Chi Lian sat separately. Silver Fox poured three glasses of wine and seemed to be in a good mood. He raised his hand and said, "Let's celebrate?"
Chi Lian took the glass of wine, but Ye Xiao shook his head, "The mission hasn't been accomplished yet, it's not worth celebrating."
"How could it not be worth it?" Silver Fox said with emotion as he sat on the sofa, "That's Qinglong's student."
"Who is Qinglong? He's the vice-chairman of the Higher Life Forms United Organization, a figure who rivals Lord Tandin in power, and is suspected to be the secondary consciousness of the Hammersmith."
"Which name wouldn't be famous once it gets out? The last time the Star Alliance attacked Li Ming, they were left in a terrible state. This time, we snatched him away. Isn't that worth celebrating?"
"It's not like I really snatched it from Qinglong." Ye Xiao reacted calmly, stood up and walked to the porthole.
"If we could really snatch it from Azure Dragon, would we still be controlled by the Empire?" Silver Fox couldn't help but sneer and shook his head. "Isn't it okay to just make yourself comfortable?"
Chi Lian also nodded, shaking his wine glass, "Yes, for people like us, it is an amazing record."
After saying that, she smiled self-deprecatingly, "Although I can't tell anyone."
"who!?"
Before he finished speaking, Night Owl suddenly turned his head and looked outside the command room.
A chill went straight to my forehead.
Bang--
The door split radially and exploded, and three blurry figures wrapped in a terrifying aura rushed over.
"What is that?" Night Owl didn't even have time to react. His eyes blurred and the huge metal fist enlarged infinitely.
We can only mobilize energy to form a defensive barrier.
boom!
The defensive barrier shattered, light fragments scattered everywhere, and Night Owl's face changed drastically. He felt an immense force of gravity crashing down upon him. The entire command room exploded instantly.
The figure wrapped him up and fell out of the spacecraft, landing in the jump orbit outside.
The same thing happened to Chi Lian and Yin Hu, they rolled over and were knocked away.
The spaceship was suddenly shaken violently, and the front half exploded, exiting the jump orbit and falling into a desolate starry sky.
"Where did this mechanical body come from!?"
Silver Fox stared at the metal mechanical body in front of him. It had a slender body and arcs of electricity all over its body. The energy intensity was not high, but the power it burst out was far beyond his.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, his face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a name popped up - Qinglong!
“How…how…”
For a moment, he was in a panic, a man's reputation, a tree's shadow.
They are X-level life forms and are at the bottom of the contempt chain. Even the higher-level life forms in the empire do not take them seriously.
How can one not be terrified when facing a big boss among higher life forms like Qinglong?
King Zhentian's mechanical pupils contracted. He had no intention of talking nonsense with him and only wanted to complete the Creator's order as soon as possible.
With the blessing of the great power from the Creator, the life form in front of him could not pose any threat to him.
The thunder that enveloped him suddenly exploded and rushed forward again.
"Tsk... This spaceship is quite impressive... It's only half rotten."
Li Ming noticed the movement outside, but did not take action himself. These three guys were X-level goalkeepers.
Once they are barely promoted to level x life form, they no longer have the potential to continue developing, and their combat capability level will not exceed 10X.
Although his mechanical guards do not have infinite hammers, with his blessing, they also have nearly 300X, which is enough to defeat them easily.
He himself was looking at the special device in front of him.
[Space Drill - Special Type: The Empire's cutting-edge technological instrument.
Control conditions: 1.2 billion metal energies
Control Ability - Space Drilling: Can forcibly open a space rift through the target area.
Li Ming raised his eyebrows. 1.2 billion, far exceeding the conventional X-level control objects.
This thing is a good one. There are similar things in the drawings left by the master hammersmith.
But it was expensive, he couldn't find many of the parts, and setting up his own production line was too costly.
"Not bad..." Of course he would keep it. He was a man who held grudges, and this thing might be of great use in the future.
The defense measures of the imperial capital, accumulated over many years, are truly terrifying.
In just over ten minutes, the external energy fluctuations began to stop.
Night Owl, Chi Lian and Silver Fox were escorted here by his mechanical guards, with injuries of varying degrees on their bodies.
Night Owl was breathing heavily, his armor was tattered. He no longer wanted to think about why the mechanical body suddenly appeared, he only knew that he and his companions were finished.
"You..." Silver Fox looked at Li Ming in front of him and the five mechanical bodies behind him, his heart trembling.
Including the three dealing with them, there are eight X-level mechanical bodies protecting him. No wonder this guy was silent in front of him and didn't take him seriously at all.
The one who was beaten the worst was Chi Lian, his body was covered in blood and his breath was barely visible.
This guy can launch mental attacks. Although he can resist with the Nightmare Wreath, it consumes the full power every time, so he might as well beat him half to death.
The reason for leaving them alive is naturally to absorb the genetic essence.
Although his development system has been supplemented, it doesn't hurt to accumulate more of this kind of things, as they will be useful in repairing low-level gene seeds in the future.
Li Ming looked at them and smiled, "Hello, everyone. I didn't have time to say hello just now."
…
Meanwhile, Adam has contacted Costat.
Facing the other party's slightly uneasy eyes, he said in a deep voice: "Li Ming has already taken possession of it and has been sent to the deep dimensional world. Tell Chronoa that at some point in the future, I hope he will act as promised."
Success!
Costat breathed a sigh of relief and nodded heavily, "I understand."
