This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 160: Taking shelter from the limelight

He knew his own limitations and that the goods were not something the two of them could touch.

Li Ming just shook his head, and then pinched out a virtual screen from the smart terminal, on which there was a series of coordinates - "***.***.***"

Ya Luo was slightly stunned and blurted out, "How do you know!?"

This coordinate is exactly where he hid the goods.

As soon as the words fell, the spacecraft suddenly shook, and the cruise coordinates that had been set long ago changed, and the final destination became the coordinates on the virtual screen.

Yaluo's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly sat in the driver's seat. After a while of operation, only a red warning sign flashed on the screen, and he could not control it at all.

"You...you controlled my spaceship?" Yaluo finally reacted and was shocked.

Although his spaceship is not a good thing, it is definitely impossible to crack it by someone who has no experience in hacking.

I haven't heard Luochuan mention that Li Ming is also a famous hacker, and his level seems to be quite good.

"Oh..." Ya Luo sighed dejectedly, "Junior brother, it's not that I don't want to take you with me, and I'm not trying to keep all this stuff for myself, it's just that this batch of stuff is too troublesome."

Li Ming also seemed helpless. "Brother Yaluo, don't get me wrong. It's just that due to some special circumstances, I really need this batch of goods."

"This batch of goods is like a bomb. Whoever touches it will die." Yaluo deliberately exaggerated and stood up from his seat: "The Star Hunters and the Sera people are not easy to deal with. With our small bodies, I'm afraid that in the end, there will be no trace left."

"Will there be an A-level life form?" Li Ming couldn't help but frown.

"A-class?" Yaluo paused, then shook his head. "That's not the case. This batch of goods is not enough to alarm the A-class life forms. The one who took action was only a branch fleet under the Star Hunters, led by a B-class life form."

Then he emphasized: "Even if it is a B-level life form, we can't deal with it."

Li Ming glanced at the flight schedule and said, "The estimated arrival time is also one month, so the time is about right."

Ya Luo didn't understand, "Almost? What do you mean almost?"

Li Ming had no intention of explaining.

Yaluo finally understood what the meaningful expression on Luochuan's face and the words "please take good care of yourself" meant when he left.

"Alas, teacher, I am so sorry for not being able to complete this little instruction." Ya Luo lamented again and again: "Don't worry, Junior Brother will definitely die before me."

Li Ming had no choice but to promise that he would not take action if there was any danger. Only then did Ya Luo reluctantly agree to go and take a look.

"I read the spacecraft's operation log. After leaving Jingnan Star, you changed direction several times. Originally, you should have wanted to go to that place to take a look." Li Ming looked at Yaluo who was sighing with a smile.

Ya Luo was startled and looked away, "That's not the case, I..."

That was goods worth 1 billion star coins, which was naturally a huge sum of money for him. The stuff was just there, so how could he not think about it.

It was only because of Wu Yanqing's instructions and the fact that Li Ming was following him, and the fact that the danger was indeed too high, that he suppressed his thoughts.

Yalu felt like he was being seen through, so he quickly changed the subject and asked Li Ming what he wanted the goods for.

"I came here in a hurry to make something. I didn't bring anything with me." Li Ming said casually. Ya Luo seemed to be thinking about it and breathed a sigh of relief. "If I don't do anything, the risk of this batch of goods won't be that great. I almost forgot that you are also an expert in mechanics."

"Fuck..." He cursed in a low voice and slapped his face, "I haven't got the stuff yet, what are you thinking about?"

.........

This is a desolate and dilapidated land. The rich gray seems to fill every inch of the air. There is no green at all and it is lifeless.

At this time, dozens of narrow shuttle-shaped spaceships were quietly parked here, and a group of Sera people wearing interstellar combat uniforms were swinging some instruments here.

Soon, a faint roar came from above, getting closer and closer, and finally became clearly audible.

An exquisite green spaceship over a hundred meters long slowly descended, its propulsion engine bent, the flames it spewed out gradually extinguished, and it hovered and landed.

The Sera people below came running over and formed two teams in front of the spaceship. The hatch opened, and the leader looked dignified, but his face was not looking good.
"Duke Bai Ye!" One of the men waiting in line took a step forward, his voice high and excited, and the black glass of his helmet turned transparent.

"Major Neil from the Ghostlight Squad, greetings to His Excellency the Duke!"

Duke Bai Ye showed a hint of realization, "Neil, it turned out to be you."

"Your Highness, do you still remember me?" Neil was even more excited.

"You performed very well in the last incident." Bai Ye said casually, followed by a fully armed team, all of whom looked elite.

"I didn't expect you to come here in person to deal with this matter." Neil stepped forward and said, "With you here, this matter can definitely be resolved."

When this was mentioned, Bai Ye's expression changed. "I just happened to hear about this matter, so I came to see what's going on. This is related to Sera's reputation, so it must be resolved as soon as possible."

In fact, he came here to avoid the limelight. The turmoil caused by the death of Isius had not yet completely ended, and he wanted to wait it out.

It happened that Sera was tracking down this batch of goods, so he volunteered to come.

"What's the situation now?" Bai Ye got to the point.

"Your Excellency the Duke," Neil reported, "Based on the clues provided by the citizens who escaped, we have locked down this area."

"There are independent planets, meteorite belts, and stardust clusters in this area. We don't know exactly where they are. We are currently conducting detailed exploration, but we should be able to locate the target soon."

Duke Bai Ye nodded, "It was the Star Hunter who did it?"

"Yes, the Star Hunter's Fourth Fleet is led by Class B life forms." Neil quickly retrieved the information from the smart terminal.

"However, something unexpected happened. One of his men betrayed him, stole the spaceship and escaped, and released all our citizens." Neil's words were a bit unbelievable. "If it weren't for this, we wouldn't have found this place."

"Wouldn't it be better to release the citizens?" Duke Bai Ye glanced at him and frowned, "Are you sure that the goods are still in his hands?"

Neil nodded hurriedly in his heart: "It is certain that the Star Hunter has issued a wanted order and spread the word. No one should dare to buy this batch of goods. Even if they do, the price will be extremely low."

He pulled up the wanted order and showed it to Duke Bai Ye. He then discovered that the Duke, who had originally looked calm, suddenly became serious and asked in surprise, "It was him..."

"Do you know him?" Neil was surprised and couldn't help asking, while adding: "This man has several mimic faces. The one released by the Star Hunter should be his true face."

"This guy has been hanging around in the Land of Stars for many years, but his presence is not very strong and he has no special deeds. He calls himself the Wind Hunter."

Duke Bai Ye's expression flickered: "He is Wu Yanqing's student."

"Wu Yanqing?" Neil looked confused and unfamiliar with the name. After swiping on the smart terminal for a while, he suddenly realized, "Is he from Blue Star?"

Then he was quite indignant, "They were the ones behind this." Duke Bai Ye looked indifferent and impatient, "Why didn't you inform me earlier?"

"This..." Neil looked hesitant.

"Forget it." Duke Bai Ye waved his hand again. The government agencies of every civilization are extremely large and bloated. He had not been in charge of this matter before, so naturally he would not know about it.

"I'll go and ask around. There's no extradition treaty between us and Blue Star, so we can only try our best." He walked aside, turned on the smart terminal, and then contacted someone.

After a moment, he came back with a frown on his face.

"Duke..." Neil started tentatively.

"He has already left Blue Star..." Duke Bai Ye's tone seemed to be filled with deep confusion, "He also took Li Ming with him."

"Li Ming?" Neil was even more confused.
"Why did Li Ming leave..." Duke Bai Ye thought, seeming to have forgotten Neil, "Is there something wrong?"

Halfway through his thought, Bai Ye's face turned awkward, but he quickly restrained himself, and it seemed that he was the first one to run away.

"Li Ming, he's the one who brought the Royal Academy..." Neil couldn't help but exclaimed as he looked at the information on the screen.

When he looked up, he saw Duke Bai Ye's gloomy face and did not dare to say the second half of the sentence.

After taking another close look at the information, Neil couldn't help but ask, "Isn't he one of the people present when Isius died?"

"And his potential for development is amazing. He should be cultivated by the Itlan civilization. Why would he leave with someone who is hanging out in the Land of Stars?"

"Could it be that... he is absconding for fear of crime!?" Neil made a bold guess, while carefully observing Duke Bai Ye's expression.

Li Ming's blow to the Sera Royal Academy was very severe. The entire Sera civilization was quite hostile to him, so it was right to throw dirty water on him.

Unexpectedly, Duke Bai Ye's expression turned even uglier, and he scolded: "The death of His Highness Isius is such a big thing, and you dare to talk nonsense!"

"Leaving is absconding from the crime, can't there be other things?"

In terms of time, he was the first one to run away.

"Go and explore quickly!" Duke Bai Ye shouted angrily.

Neil didn't know how he hit the horse's hoof, and he didn't dare to refute, so he hurriedly took people to explore.

"Your Highness, please go back to the spaceship first." The guard following behind him whispered.

Duke Bai Ye's expression eased a little. He returned to the spaceship and his guard whispered:
"Although Neil's words were not without reason, they were not without reason. Li Ming had amazing potential for development and should have gone to the Itlan civilization, but he left abruptly. This makes us think."

"Didn't you say before that all those who are enemies of Li Ming will have a bad ending? Do you want to talk directly to the Itlan civilization?"

"Neil doesn't think before he speaks, but you do?" Bai Ye looked at him coldly, "You believe such stupid words. This sentence can also be applied to you. You have survived until now, and more of your enemies have died."

This statement can be applied to every living being.

He targeted Li Ming only because the other party had too much development potential and belonged to Blue Star, so he would definitely be a disaster in the future, so he wanted to get rid of him.

But this kind of report would hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt yourself by eight hundred. It has no evidence and will only bring trouble.

"But didn't you say before that Li Ming was near where Sein and Isius died?" The guard asked doubtfully, "Isius's death is such a big deal, even if the reason is a bit far-fetched, it's enough to investigate."

"You only thought of Li Ming. Chen Jinglong was there too, did you know that?" Duke Bai Ye had thought about it, but he denied it himself, "We were there too, have you forgotten?"

The guard was puzzled: "But our timeline..."

"Information from many sources has confirmed that there are indeed dimensional spirits inside the Torch, and it is top secret. It is rumored that it has all kinds of terrifying abilities and is the most powerful dimensional creature the Torch Organization has found in recent years." Duke Bai Ye shook his head helplessly:
"Based on the current capabilities of the dimensional spirits, if they can communicate regardless of space, then our timeline doesn't count at all, because we are very close to the starport and should have been included in it."

The Torch Organization has admitted that they were responsible for this incident and have found a fire source in the Wing Shadow Fleet.

Although after memory review, the other party did not collude with insiders and outsiders, and did not even know the name of the dimensional god.

But Ford believes that since the dimensional gods have psychic abilities, erasing their memories is naturally very simple.

Coyle has been killed, and the most important thing now is to take revenge on the Torch, rather than suspecting more people.

Therefore, Duke Bai Ye did not intend to make a fuss about this matter, because he was also one of the "suspects" and might get himself involved again.

But Li Ming's sudden departure really made him curious.

"This seems to be an opportunity. If you leave Jingnan, no one will protect you. Do you really think that it is so easy to survive in the interstellar space?" Duke Bai Ye sneered and issued an order:
"Try your best to collect all the information about this wind hunter. If he shows up again, we must capture him as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

Over the next period of time, Duke Bai Ye's men continued to search for the target planet based on the clues they had. This was a time-consuming task.

Even if the scope has been determined, it will still take time to search one by one.

In this way, more than half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

……

In the dilapidated spaceship, Yaluo was anxious every day. One day, he looked through the smart terminal and couldn't help but grit his teeth and curse:

"Fuck, another one who cares about me. When I asked them for money before, none of them lent me money."

"Everyone wants to take me out in exchange for a bounty!"

Yaluo kept cursing and swaying in the narrow cabin. He accidentally hit his head. Although it didn't hurt, it ignited his anger. He pointed at the spaceship and cursed:

"You heartless bastard, I've disciplined you so many times and never left you, yet you treat me like this!"

After cursing for a long time, he felt even more sad. Even the spacecraft operating system was in the shape of Li Ming.

"Brother, why are you so irritable?" Li Ming pushed open the door, steam coming out of his body.

"You finally got out." Yaluo said hurriedly, "Some of my old friends in the Hunter Group told me that the Fourth Fleet has not returned yet."

"I guess they are still looking for the location of that shipment."

"Old friend?" Li Ming was quite surprised.
