This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 318: Red Robe Archmage Black Hole Hall
Hearing Li Ming's words, the others who were chatting casually looked over at the same time, and then looked away at the same time.

Sandro, who was sitting there like a wall, made faces and showed an expression that all men could understand.

Everyone thought that Li Ming was young and hot-tempered and wanted to have some fun.

Hearing what Li Ming said, the woman who was pouring wine for him was stunned for a moment, her cheeks flushed, she stroked her hair shyly, and spoke in a low voice.

"I'm very nervous to meet such a distinguished guest like you..."

As she spoke, she did not forget to fill Li Ming's wine glass. The dark purple liquid was rippling with silvery-white spots, just like the deep starry sky.

"What's your name?" Li Ming picked up the wine glass and shook it casually.

"Zhang Fina?" she whispered.

Li Ming paused, a little surprised, "From Blue Star?"

Names of this format are quite rare in Interstellar.

"No, I'm from the Philbaps civilization," she explained in a low voice, and the other service staff showed envy when they saw her.

The male service staff stood in the corners. After initial contact, they found that there seemed to be no homosexuals among this group of people, which was quite a pity.

"Oh..." Li Ming nodded thoughtfully. Names of this format are not only found on Blue Star. The universe is so vast that there will always be similar civilizations evolving.

He swirled the glass but refused to drink it. He said slowly, "I want to ask, how did you know that I would arrive today?"

As soon as the words came out, the conversations around them suddenly quieted down, and everyone looked over at the same time.

As a result, the service staff became confused and at a loss.

Zhang Feina looked very nervous and confused. She didn't seem to understand what Li Ming was saying. She said tremblingly, "You, I don't quite understand what you mean."

Li Ming put down his wine glass and stood up.

He took the bottle from the other person's hand, turned it over and looked at the bottom of the bottle, then he took out a flashlight from somewhere.

When looking at the bottle from the side, the bottle body is crystal clear, and a very obvious small shadow appears on the bottom of the bottle.

It was an almost imperceptible small eye, as if something had been injected into it.

"0.02mm micro pinhole..." Monroe frowned, stood up and took it, scanned it with his mechanical eye, and gave the data.

He looked at Li Ming in surprise again, wondering how he found it. It was almost impossible to see it in such a hidden place like the bottom of the bottle without magnification.

Moreover, it was obvious that they were prepared. At least after they got on the bus, they did not notice anything abnormal about the woman.

"What did you inject?" Li Ming stared at the woman in front of him with an indifferent tone.

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong wind surged in the shuttle. At some point, Monroe had already arrived beside Zhang Fina, pinching her mouth tightly with his metal palm.

A thin metal wire clamp extended from the elbow, like a small snake, and reached into her mouth in front of the other person's horrified eyes, and quickly pinched out a blue capsule.

"Still a dead soldier." Monroe looked at the tiny blue capsule.

Li Ming's brows moved slightly. With [Intelligent Assistance], nothing could escape his gaze, so he was able to discover the tiny hole at the bottom of the bottle.

I also noticed the opponent's mouth movements just now, but Monroe was faster.

Monroe's mechanical pupils flashed red, and then he crushed the blue capsule directly, sending out crackling sparks. It seemed to be an electronic item, not a medicine.

"The drug kills too slowly. As long as the outer shell is corroded by her gastric juice, this thing will explode directly." Monroe said.

Only then did he let go of Zhang Fina, who looked very frightened and trembling.

The other service staff were all terrified. Ulrich and the others looked over with murderous intent in their eyes.

An Ye's face didn't look good.

"Tell me, who sent you here?" Li Ming squatted in front of the girl, speaking in a calm tone.

Zhang Fina was pale and curled up. Although she looked terrified, she said nothing but just kept shaking her head.

"Is she here to assassinate you? She seems to be just a C or D-class life form?" Sandro felt inexplicably ridiculous. With their group of people here, it would be too disrespectful not to send an S-class life form.

"You don't have to send the strong to assassinate. As long as you find the right opportunity, there are many poisons that can kill higher life forms." Ulrich shook his head, his eyes gloomy and uncertain, and swept over An Ye.

"The life level is not high, but the information is very accurate and the timing is very good. If Li Ming really drinks this glass of wine..."

Halfway through his words, Sandro couldn't help but frown and said, "We came all the way here without telling anyone, Ulrich, did you betray them?"

"Get lost!" Ulrich's face darkened, and his words were incomprehensible: "Is she from the Xingyuan Empire?"

"Besides them, I can't think of anyone else who would do it, but if it was them, their hands were too rough."

Moreover, it feels a little too early to prepare this bottle of wine in advance.

After they analyzed the situation, the leader of the service staff finally reacted, his throat rolling, and he hurried forward to explain:
"Dear guests, please don't be angry. We will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."

"Should we retreat first?" Ulrich was more cautious. His eyes fell on Li Ming. He now had a guess.

Could it be that Qinglong was fishing on purpose?
"Need not!"

An Ye's face was somewhat embarrassed. After all, he was the one who brought everyone here and had the status of half a host, but he encountered such a thing as soon as he arrived. He snorted coldly and just said, "Wait for me for a while."

After that, he disappeared here. Everyone looked at each other. Monroe held the wine glass, observed carefully, and said: "Unfortunately, I don't have a drug analyzer on me."

Li Ming frowned slightly. He was also very surprised. They had jumped through multiple civilizations along the way, and their identities were handled through the black hole network. The network for external communication on the spacecraft was isolated, so there shouldn't be any problems.

How come we were discovered as soon as we got here?

If it was really the Xingyuan Empire, then he felt a chill in his heart.

There was no psychic among them, so it was difficult to search their memories directly. Li Ming suddenly remembered and asked Cornett in the corner: "Mr. Cornett, has your clone been catalyzed?"

"Corvis?" Connet was slightly stunned and said hesitantly: "At present, I can condense in the outside world for a short time, but I am afraid I can't use my psychic ability."

"Your clone has psychic abilities?" Sandro was surprised.

Cornette also murmured that Koves's psychic ability had never been demonstrated to everyone.

The last time he showed it was when he was searching the memories of several of his men in the base.

Could it be that Qinglong was also present at the time? Cornett subconsciously recalled that this involved a dark memory that he could not bear to look back on. His cheeks twitched, and he was too lazy to think about it.

At this moment, the car suddenly stopped and hovered in the air. Through the window, you can see that other shuttle cars on the nearby tracks have also stopped.

Then, there was a knock on the door, and the metal door opened automatically, and a strong wind blew in. A luxurious shuttle-shaped spaceship was parked on the side of the shuttle, looking very ostentatious, painted bright red with some strange patterns.

An Ye was standing at the door of the ship, calling them over.

Li Ming walked over first, and the others followed one after another. Then soldiers wearing combat armor walked into the shuttle and detained each service staff.

"Sorry, it's my fault for scaring you all." Beside An Ye, there was an old man wearing a long red robe, with a large area of ​​skin covered with dense red scales, ending at the neck, and his facial features were very human-like. He looked quite old.

Her hair was grey, her eyeshadow was very thick, but her fingernails were painted in all sorts of colours, and her manner and speech had a more feminine quality.

"He is the manager of Twin Peaks, Austin." An Ye briefly introduced him, his face displeased. "Twin Peaks has fallen into this state in your hands? Someone is trying to assassinate him right from the start?"

Austin covered his mouth and said, "Oh, I'm just here to work. You can't ask me to conduct a memory check on everyone."

"But don't worry, I will definitely find out what's going on."

As they were talking, Zhang Fina was brought up, already wearing a gene inhibitor. Austin made a "tsk tsk" sound and gently lifted Zhang Fina's chin with his three or four centimeter long nails.

The woman looked at Austin in horror, trembling and unable to speak.

"What a nice girl..." After saying that, he waved his hand, signaling to take the person away.

Then, he looked at Li Ming again, his eyes were full of wonder: "This person should be the student of Lord Qinglong. The potential for development at level 46 is incredible."

"Because of you..." He pointed at Li Ming, "Recently, many forces have sent people to some small civilizations, hoping to find another you."

Li Ming had a strange look on his face when he heard that. With the development of the Red River Star Stream incident, the fact that he possessed a potential of 46 would be doomed to be revealed.

What he didn't expect was that it actually caused a butterfly effect.

"Where is Lord Qinglong?" Austin looked into the shuttle.

"The teacher has left for something." Li Ming explained.

"Left?" Austin was surprised, and then he covered his mouth with his hands, his eyes narrowed into slits: "Oh, to compensate you, I will cover all your food and accommodation for the next few days."

No one reacted. It was just food and lodging, and wouldn't cost much money.

As a few people were chatting, this luxurious spaceship was started up, and the shuttle that was paused nearby began to move slowly. The life forms in it had no idea what was happening and looked around.

Under Austin's arrangement, they stayed in the most luxurious Star Hotel on the upper level of Twin Peaks, and the entire floor was booked.

The Twin Peaks node is divided into two parts, the upper part is more orderly and luxurious, and the lower part is more chaotic.

Walking on the carpet in the corridor, all around was quiet. Sandro was shocked and said, "I just checked on the Black Hole Network. This Austin is actually an S-level psychic, nicknamed the Red Robe Master, who can control the five elemental powers."

“I really can’t tell…”

“The Twin Peaks Floating Island is not a small place considering the Chaos Star Gap.” Ulrich said lightly.

"This is not a small place like the Land of Stars. Be careful with what you say and do. If you get into any serious trouble, no one will save you." Jessia said indifferently.

This time, Sandro rarely refuted and just shrank his head.

An Ye took Li Ming away and went to Yeyue Laboratory. There were shuttle buses directly to the outside every thirty floors of this hotel.

"Sir Dark Night, my teacher told me that you seem to be able to recommend other people to join the Black Hole Hall."

In the elevator, Li Ming suddenly spoke.

An Ye glanced at the surveillance camera and said nonchalantly, "Yes, I can do it."

"But you can't join on behalf of your teacher. The Black Hole Hall only requires the hall mark to be present, but you must be present in person."

"If your teacher wants to join, he has to come in person."

"I have one myself." Li Ming added.

"Huh?" An Ye looked over, quite surprised, "Black Hole Network usually doesn't give this kind of thing to people with backgrounds."

Thinking of this, he said in a deep voice: "Although the Black Hole Network account is anonymous, you must show your background and relevant information when you join."

"If it's your teacher's account, there will be punishment."

"Don't worry, it's mine." Li Ming also emphasized.

An Ye stopped talking, his heart was filled with turmoil. The Black Hole Network would only support some lone wolves, at least those who were certified in their information.

The offspring of some powerful life forms are equally excellent, which means that the kindness of the black hole network is not worth mentioning in their eyes.

"That is to say, when the Black Hole Network gave him this mark, it didn't know about Qinglong's existence. He is really good at hiding." An Ye pondered in his heart, but didn't say more. As long as there was a mark, it was fine.

He opened the navigation and looked at the map. He said, "Then let's go to the Black Hole Hall branch first."

Li Mingzi had no objection. The two of them boarded the shuttle bus. This thing was deployed by the city management system. They had high authority and could travel to a specific destination at the fastest speed.

Just half an hour later, An Ye brought him to a black building, which looked like an ancient medieval fortress with a very high peak in the center and a closed gate.

This place is located in a remote place on the upper level of the Twins, and there are few people nearby.

He followed An Ye to the front door, and with a sweep of his hand, the iron door opened with a roar. The whole way was smooth and there was not even a single person in sight. The two of them arrived at the deepest room.

On the high platform, there are five Iron Thrones in a row, as if overlooking the area below. No one knows what material they are made of. The patterns are twisted and crooked, but there is a strange beauty to them.

An Ye casually tapped the button on the wall, and soon after, the golden patterns on one of the Iron Thrones gradually lit up, and a blurry shadow emerged.

"An Ye?" His voice was dull and like thunder: "You have caused quite a stir."

An Ye ignored him.

Soon, four more figures appeared, and finally there were figures on all five Iron Thrones.

"Okay, we have enough people. Now, I want to recommend this person to join the Black Hole Hall, and you are all witnesses." An Ye said.

"Li Ming?" This was an overlapping magnetic voice, obviously recognized, "Qinglong's student?"

"Level 46 development potential? Tsk tsk..."

"Where's Qinglong? Doesn't he have a palace emblem?"

The noise gradually became louder, and several blurry shadows on the throne jumped down like streams of light and surrounded Li Ming.

"I asked you to come here to witness, why are you talking so much?" An Ye frowned, then took out a smart terminal and asked Li Ming to log into his account.
