This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 244 After reviewing the situation, the trio realized something was wrong and must protect Qinglong!
"However, I have to find out their cooperation plan. The Torch Organization is still a good place for me. If Deyes plans to lure Asmara directly here, then I will have to report him in my real name..."

But what made it difficult for him was that he had no way of knowing when Deyes would contact Asmara.

It was impossible for him to stay in Deyes's shadow all day long, but Li Ming didn't want to expose Deyes directly. He felt that this matter was highly feasible, and if used well, it would be a brilliant move.

Frowning slightly, he lowered his head and glanced at the smart terminal, but his expression relaxed again.

"The signal is completely blocked, and even the intranet cannot be connected."

Before this, although they could not contact the outside world, they could connect to the Torch Organization's intranet and obtain notification information or contact other people through the intranet with limited permissions.

But now the intranet signal is also blocked, which is a physical isolation. No matter how advanced Deyes's technical means are, he cannot contact the outside world in an environment without signal connection.

"I'm afraid Cornett has wanted to do this for a long time, but he never had a suitable reason. This is a good opportunity to completely isolate us."

Li Ming thought, in this way, he only needs to pay attention to when Deyes can connect to the internal network.

At least in this area, the other party definitely can't do it.

"And there's the suppression of this purple energy field..." Ten minutes later, when the cooldown time for the switch was up, he immediately tried to perform [Space Flash], but found that he couldn't do it as there was a strong blockage.

Li Mingxintong: "Since the space is blocked, there should be other characteristics that the tank guard cannot detect. Go ask Jesaya..."

On the mottled surface of the planet, the purple energy barrier seemed to be rippling, the thin air inside was stirring up dust all over the sky, and several spaceships were placed here in a disorderly manner.

Buzz--
The hatch opened, and Theo and Ulrich walked into the spaceship where Sandro was with expressionless faces.

Sandro, who looked depressed, felt even more embarrassed when he saw the solemn expressions of the two men, but then he straightened his chest.

The hatch closed, Ulrich glanced at Sandro, and Theo spoke up, "Tell me, what's going on with that material?"

This dispute came out of nowhere, which made him smell something unusual.

"Boss, I'm also puzzled. The material was obviously good, but who knew it would become bad in Brot's hands." Sandro said helplessly.

He really wanted to sell his stuff, and he believed from the bottom of his heart that there was nothing wrong with it, so he had no intention of trying to cheat Brot.

"Are you sure it wasn't you?" Theo asked again.

Ulrich interrupted, "With Sandro's brain, how could he think of such a method?"

"I also took a quick look at the goods when I handed them to Sandro. Although I didn't examine them too carefully, I couldn't see any problems on the surface."

Sandro rarely refuted Ulrich, but agreed with him: "Yes, I don't have such means."

"There are only two possibilities. Either it was Deyes's trick, or what we got is just junk."

"I've dealt with Blerim before, and he's not someone that can be fooled so easily." Ulrich shook his head, his eyes flickering. "Besides, Qinglong had already made an offer, which means he didn't see the problem either."

He added, "At least, it was okay at the time."

Sandro was extremely depressed. Although he made some money, it was what he should have earned. Now he was in even more trouble.

"That's strange. Since I got these materials, they have hardly left my sight. How could they be destroyed inexplicably?"

"Qinglong..." Theo uttered two words. Ulrich was not surprised and nodded in agreement: "I also tend to think that it is most likely his method."

"Qinglong?" Sandro was slightly stunned, then suddenly said, "I remember now. We just divided the loot. While we were waiting for Theo's people to come back, Qinglong did ask me to meet him."

"I originally thought he wanted to secretly discuss the purchase price of the metal materials, but when we met, he said it was okay."

"He contacted you too?" Ulrich thought thoughtfully. "He also made an appointment with me. I also didn't find him in his room. I immediately returned to the room to check the materials. There seemed to be no problem at the time."

"Now that I think about it, it was probably some kind of trick used at the time."

"Is it really him?" Sandro widened his eyes and then looked at Theo.

"He made an appointment with me too." Theo nodded.

boom!
Sandro suddenly slammed the table and stood up, angrily saying: "He is too unkind, not only did he not buy it, but he also secretly sabotaged it."

"Why? What's the point?" Compared to Sandro's emotional reaction, Ulrich was calmer: "Risk of being discovered by us, damaging these metal materials, and then what?"

"What then..." Sandro yelled, "Your brain is so big because you think too much all day long."

"I would have sold it to him for 1.5 billion, but you insisted on raising the price and took advantage of him. He will definitely not be happy."

"It's just to vent my anger."

"Just to vent your anger?" Ulrich frowned. It was hard for him to attribute this adventurous behavior, which had a very simple purpose and was also intended to vent his emotions, to the Qinglong in his heart.

"What else?" Sandro said unhappily, "I really shouldn't have believed you back then."

But he was thankful and said, "Fortunately, I found a sucker to take over, otherwise it would have been a real loss."

"It was probably Qinglong's doing." Theo concluded. Qinglong came to the three of them one after another, which could not be explained by coincidence.

The three of them fell silent again. After finding the real culprit behind the scenes, what next?
Go find Deyes and expose Qinglong's sinister face?

Only a fool would go there, they are in cahoots with Qinglong.

Go and settle accounts with Qinglong? Sandro touched his face and felt a little stinging.

Anyway, I have found the sucker, so it doesn’t matter.

"This incident was just an inducement." Theo said in a deep voice: "We know these things, but Deyes doesn't know. Why did he let Brot go directly to Qinglong?"

"Qing Long's arrival made him feel threatened, and he wanted to use this as an excuse to kill Qing Long." Ulrich speculated, "In the end, something unexpected happened."

"And if Qinglong gets into an accident, we will be..." Ulrich paused, and after a moment hesitantly said: "...expelled..."

Sandro shrank his head. He was not very sensitive about other things, but he cared a lot about this matter involving his life and property.

Originally, he thought that as long as the three A-level life forms formed a group, they would be able to do whatever they wanted.

But the appearance of the purple giant shattered the fantasy in his heart.

Ulrich spoke implicitly. If they were unwilling to leave, or if Knitt wanted to kill them to silence them, Sandro thought he would not be able to withstand the slap in the face.

"Boss, can you stop that purple giant?" Sandro hesitated.

"I can't kill him, and from the looks of it, it should be difficult for him to kill me either." Theo hesitated slightly.

The two men still looked grim. Just because they couldn't kill Theo didn't mean they couldn't be killed.

“Just because we saw the purple giant doesn’t mean the Torch Organization only has purple giants,” Ulrich added.

Sandro's face turned pale and he couldn't help but say, "Can you stop imagining things?" "Qinglong must be protected." Theo said suddenly.

"Protect Azure Dragon?" Sandro was a little confused. "What do you mean?"

Ulrich sneered, "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that Qinglong can't have any problems, otherwise we will inevitably face the Torch Organization and several other big mechanics."

"If something goes wrong with him, the worst outcome for us is expulsion. We have been busy for so long but have gained nothing."

"Or, death."

"Ah?" Sandro found it hard to accept the sudden change in the situation. "Are our lives bound to Azure Dragon?"

Ulrich struck again: "To be more precise, Qinglong is more proactive because he has value, and the three of us are purely here to share the cake."

"The only good news is that Qinglong probably doesn't trust the Torch Organization either. Besides, there are several other great mechanics. He still needs our strength to deal with them."

"The two combat machines under Qinglong are stronger than me, so why do I have to protect him?" Sandro had a painful look on his face and began to regret getting involved in this mess.

Speaking of the two combat machines, Ulrich took a deep breath. The more he came into contact with Qinglong, the more he felt that this person was unfathomable.

Sandro asked hesitantly, "If all of us join together, can we defeat the purple giant?"

"You expect everyone to work together?" Ulrich sneered.

Theo said calmly, "None of us can match the purple giant. We better pray that day never comes."

……

At the same time, in the spaceship where Deyes was, he let out a long sigh and slowly stood up. "This crystallization is not irreversible. With your life force, it should be almost restored in ten days or half a month."

Brot, who was lying on the hospital bed, was sweating profusely. He felt a stinging sensation in his crystallized body. His face turned pale.

"Damn Sandro, damn Qinglong, damn Cornette!"

He cursed and was so angry that he wanted to tear these people to pieces.

Deyes had a blank expression on his face. He turned around and started making something to help Brot recover.

After Brot had finished cursing, he looked at Deyes's back and said hesitantly, "Is this Cornett dissatisfied with you? Why doesn't he say a word for you?"

"It would be fine if you don't have any disputes with Qinglong in the future, but what if you do?"

Dezes paused for a moment, his voice expressing neither joy nor anger: "Don't worry, I have my own way."

Brot wanted to ask more, but the pain in his body made him grimace.

Li Ming had just come out of Jessiah's spaceship and returned to the spaceship with a thoughtful look on his face.

Jessiah's detection methods were indeed more comprehensive than his. Through indirect inquiries, he learned that this purple barrier could not only suppress the activity of various elements and block space, but it could even detect abnormal mental abilities. It was simply omnipotent.

"It's a bit troublesome..."

……

After dealing with everything, Connet, with a gloomy look, went deeper into the base. The deeper he went, the fewer staff members he saw.

Especially after passing through several thick doors covered with purple energy membranes, almost no one could be seen in the empty corridor.

And Cornette, who originally walked steadily and with a determined look, began to walk unsteadily at some point.

thump!
At a certain moment, Connet, who had transformed into a purple giant in the outside world and suppressed many A-level life forms, was speechless and suddenly fell to his knees.

Beads of sweat the size of beans dripped from his face, hit the metal floor, and broke into eight pieces.

No, that's not sweat, that's blood.

Phew!

Immediately, tiny cracks appeared on Cornett's skin, and blood was clearly visible on his flesh, gathering into thin streams and flowing on the ground.

"The power of Balzac is not so easy to borrow." An indifferent voice suddenly sounded, and his bloodshot eyes could only see a shadow.

"None of those people are simple. If we don't subdue them, there will be bigger troubles later." He struggled to get up from the ground.

The figure standing next to him was dressed exactly like him, and even looked almost the same, but he didn't look as calm.

Cornett took just two steps and stumbled again. The other party shook his head helplessly, forcibly supported Cornett, and brought him to the laboratory at the end of the corridor.

The door slid open to both sides, and low, noisy sounds came over us. This laboratory was even larger, and at a glance, it was full of experimenters moving around.

The most eye-catching thing is the long and narrow purple crack in the center. The edge of the crack keeps fluctuating, forming sharp ripples.

And Connit was brought to the central area, where there were four large metal containment devices, on which were imprisoned hideous-looking life forms.

One of them was nearly ten meters long, with six curled black tentacles nailed tightly to the restraint device. It was covered with densely packed black cracks that kept opening and closing, and its jagged teeth were chilling.

Without a main body, this is its entire appearance, extremely ugly, and the other three also have their own characteristics.

A steady stream of black liquid was drawn out from it and drained into metal tanks.

The experimenters here were not surprised by the arrival of the two and were even used to it.

The man who was supporting Connet said to him and put Connet, whose body was covered with cracks, into one of the black liquid tanks.

Relevant data appeared on various instruments and equipment, and the experimenters worked in an orderly manner.

However, this incident did not make the atmosphere among the people more tense.

Instead, on the second day, four great mechanics including Li Ming walked into the core laboratory together.

Deyes, who suffered a great loss, acted very calmly, as if what happened yesterday had never happened.

As for Li Ming, he seemed more indifferent, and even took the initiative to talk to Deyes, asking how he rested yesterday.

Deyes sighed helplessly, and while performing data simulation, he said, "Alas, it's an old problem. I have neurasthenia and I didn't get enough rest. There is a constant sound of wind outside, and the soundproofing of the spacecraft is not very good."

"How can that be possible? We have to urge Connet to change to a better boat." Li Ming was surprised.

"It's okay, just make do with these two days." Deyes smiled bitterly.

Benny looked at the two people who were acting so serious and was speechless for a while.
