This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 404: What is Levin Baker’s purpose in multi-line operations?
"Why do I feel that the attitude of the navigators is a bit strange?"

The furnishings in the room gradually came into view, and Li Ming felt that the atmosphere in the Iron Throne Hall was inexplicably different.

He just went to get a vaccination, but he felt as if the Navigator wanted to eat him, with obvious hostility.

baffling.

Li Ming shook his head. After the pioneers had made all the arrangements, he stood up, walked out of the room and headed straight for the prison area.

The flowing shadow is divided into four layers, with the prison area at the bottom layer, which is divided into two parts on the left and right by the central axis.

On the right side, in the J-1 prison area, in the metal cell, four mechanical guards stand at the four corners of the cell.

In the center, a metal disc was emitting a faint blue light, with wires interwoven like a net, and Thor's limbs were tightly attached in a twisted posture.

The fractures at the joints were jagged, and the white bones and broken fascia were vaguely visible. Blood slowly flowed down the limbs, and his breath was extremely weak.

A big hole was dug out in the chest, and the metal bonds were like vicious snakes, piercing into the flesh and blood, blending with each other, and emitting wisps of blood mist.

The pain that penetrated deep into his bones made Thor's limbs twitch instinctively. The metal bonds flashed with strange electric light, and every slight tremor brought a heart-wrenching pain.

Garrett's fate was similar. Although he was a stone man, he had flesh-and-blood-like tissue structures inside his body, and he was trapped in place.

The two looked extremely miserable, but for S-level life forms, these injuries were still nothing.

Li Ming did not underestimate them and deliberately beat them severely. This metal disc was just an ordinary A-level item and theoretically could not trap them.

However, these two guys thought that the mechanical guards were S-level life forms, so they naturally did not dare to make any unnecessary movements.

"Garrett... Tell me, the reason Azure Dragon doesn't kill us is because we are still useful?" Thor's voice trembled, trying to find some comfort from his companions.

"Not necessarily. It could also be because he has a habit of torturing people." Garrett's voice was dull, and he didn't seem to be very afraid.

Thor's already painful expression became even more ferocious, his mind raced, he didn't want to die, he was an S-class life form, possessed interstellar power, he would be able to obtain a prominent position no matter where he was, how could he die here.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
A dull metallic collision sound was heard, and Thor's eyes were filled with ripples. He tried to adjust his perspective and saw a luxurious mecha.

It is Qinglong's representative mecha, and is now used by Ji Ming as a self-defense mecha, with the imperial code name - Qinglong No. 1.

The metal cell door opened and the mecha walked in, its bright blue eyes unable to reveal any useful information.

"Is it Lord Qinglong?" Thor opened his mouth, intending to say something.

But due to the position, Garrett was on the outside. Qinglong stopped beside Garrett, and a cold voice came from it, "Give me a reason not to kill you for the time being."

Thor's heart trembled, "I...I have something to say..."

"It's not your turn yet." Qinglong shook his head. King Zhentian, who was standing in the corner, raised his hand. A strong electric current accurately fell on the wound on Thor's heart, and passed into the deep of his flesh along the metal bond inserted into his flesh.

Thor's face became more and more distorted, and his suppressed and painful wails echoed in the cell.

"His Royal Highness will not let you go." Garrett stated simply, without fear or hatred, rather than being dull.

"The Stonemen are indeed loyal." Li Ming praised, and then said: "Go outside and kill them."

"clear."

Two mechanical bodies, one big and one small, came out from the corner, carrying Garrett and walking outside.

The Stonemen were well-known in the interstellar world for their loyalty and honesty. They were also naturally strong and were perfect companions and subordinates, so they were now being tricked and were on the verge of extinction.

"Now, it's your turn." Li Ming came to Thor's side, looked down at Thor, whose face was hideous and twisted, but whose eyes were filled with expectation, and asked in the same way, "Give me a reason not to kill you."

"I..." Thor paused, having prepared a plan in advance, and said hastily, "Aren't you curious about why we are here? And why are we carrying the Star Devouring Prison Dragon with us?"

"Not curious." Li Ming shook his head.

"Does your Excellency already know this?" Thor was shocked and confirmed his guess.

Qinglong already knows about the blood sacrifice, and Prince Ryan is in danger.

"Is this all you want to say?" Li Ming said in a calm voice.

"Purpose, do you know Prince Ryan's purpose?" Thor said hurriedly, intending to find something that Qinglong didn't understand, and then negotiate terms with the other party.

Li Ming sighed, realizing that this guy was not getting the point, so he could only say, "You need to show your own value instead of asking about my needs."

Asking for needs is negotiating conditions. He really wants to use Thor, but he doesn't want to negotiate conditions with the other party.

This can cause a lot of trouble.

Thor's breathing stagnated, and his thoughts almost stopped. How to show his value?

"Forget it." Li Ming shook his head, "Take him..."

"Wait!" Thor gritted his teeth and shouted. In the face of life and death crisis, his mind burst out with unprecedented potential: "Since Your Excellency knows everything, you know that we are just the vanguard. If you kill us, this matter will not end, but just the beginning."

"Oh..." Li Ming paused and said thoughtfully: "Continue."

"I don't know what you want to do, but if Prince Ryan learns of the changes here, he will definitely act quickly. This is almost a desperate move by the prince, and there is no room for error," Thor said hurriedly, speaking faster and faster: "I can buy you some time!"

"Hmm..." Li Ming thought about it, but shook his head in the face of Thor's almost desperate eyes: "Ryan's information channel is not just you."

"I know all the information channels. Why not give it a try? Why not give it a try!" Thor said repeatedly. The mecha in front of him fell silent again. This time he finally stopped shaking his head. "Then, I'll let you try."

Subjective initiative is different from negotiating conditions. One is that you can only do this after releasing him, and there is no idea how many unexpected things will happen in the process.

One is that only by doing this job well can there be a chance of releasing him. The other party will try his best to do it, and even think of things that Li Ming can't think of.

"Take it off first." Li Ming instructed, "Think carefully about your ideas and give me a feasibility plan to prove your worth."

After saying this, he left and looked at Qinglong's back.

Thor's heart was unsettled, filled with a mixture of panic and fear. He felt that the road ahead was bleak, with only a tiny glimmer of hope flickering.

What he needs to grasp is that tiny ray of hope.

Leaving here, Li Ming went straight to the other side of the cell.

In the corridor, he thought that there was no problem here in Thor.

However, he was unsure how to hold down Levenbaker.

He treated the other party with great threat, thinking that the other party could withdraw at any time, and even if the preliminary preparations had been made, it would not last long.

The only good news now is that he has confirmed that Levenbaker is hiding his identity and working for Prince Ryan.

Even if he went to see Prince Ryan, the first thing he would have to explain was his own identity.

But this concern alone is far from enough. Levenbeck must have his own purpose in the blood sacrifice.

It was enough to support him to confront Ryan. Even after the showdown, the threat would be even greater, and he could spare no effort to help Ryan. "First of all, we must not let him feel threatened. Let him feel that he is still hiding and taking the initiative." Li Ming calculated, and the tank guard on his body was released:

"Then talk to him as Li Ming. We are all students of the Divine Craftsman. People with such a twisted mentality should feel differently."

Li Ming has carefully studied Levenbaker's information and even has a lot of video interview clips, so he knows a lot about Levenbaker's past.

"He should be very curious about Qinglong. Now that I am in the driver's seat, he should be trying to get more information."

With a rough idea in mind, I stepped into the prison area on the right. In the first cell, Levenbeck was in it, guarded by a mechanical guard.

"Li Ming?"

Seeing the cell door open, Levenbaker looked up, a fiery light suddenly flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

Li Ming only felt that this guy had a strange look in his eyes. His face remained indifferent, and he looked at him with scrutiny and scrutiny:
"I had someone test your tissue cells. It's very strange. You don't look like a normal life form, but you have the thinking of a normal life form."

"What on earth are you?"

Seeing Li Ming's expression, Levenbeck's eyes revealed a look of nostalgia.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

A familiar feeling, arrogant, contemptuous, not taking the stars or anyone else into consideration, believing that one day he or she will surpass everything.

As a student of the master craftsman, he was extremely talented and he understood the other person's feelings too well.

Because he had the same experience, and Li Ming was more powerful and more perfect than him, and he believed that the other party was also more proud.

"Where's your teacher?" Levenbeck asked calmly, as if the teacher was looking back at him.

"You?" Li Ming sneered, "You are not worthy to see my teacher."

Levenbaker was not angry, but relieved.

Qinglong didn't take him seriously, which was for the best. In this way, this might be a great opportunity.

"You brought the Star Devouring Prison Dragon with you, but I'm afraid it's not to help the Itlan civilization win." Li Ming said calmly: "I advise you to tell me everything you know."

Levenbaker shook his head. Li Ming was still too young and exposed his needs directly.

But, that’s fine, as long as there is a demand.

"I know." Levenbaker smiled, then said, "But why should I tell you?"

"You..." Li Ming was obviously angry and seemed to be about to take action, but Levenbeck said calmly: "But I do have an idea."

This pulling and tugging is so natural, he is indeed an old cunt.

However, Levenbaker's reaction also made him feel strange, because it indirectly revealed that the other party also had needs, otherwise why would he bother talking nonsense with him.

Li Ming sighed, and asked subconsciously, "What's the idea?"

After asking, he was obviously a little unnatural, and said in a deep voice: "What qualifications do you have to negotiate with me?"

"I'm not afraid of pain, but you can't read my memory. Or you can kill me?" Levenback laughed hoarsely, "Then report to your teacher that you found a person who came back from the dead, but killed him again."

"Or should I get more information from me and report it to your teacher."

Li Ming paused, and a flash of hesitation appeared in his eyes.

Levenbaker smiled faintly in his heart, feeling that it would not be too easy to grasp Li Ming's mentality.

Because that's how he came here, and he had a master teacher who was very famous.

Naturally, you want to gain recognition and praise from others, but this is not easy to do.

"If you have any ideas, tell me, don't try to play tricks."

As expected, Li Ming said what he wanted to say, but he seemed unwilling and reluctant.

"It's a very old-fashioned way of playing. You ask me a question and I ask you a question." Levenbeck said, and then he saw Li Ming couldn't wait to speak, "What is your purpose?"

“No, no…no…” Levenbaker shook his index finger, “Don’t ask such a direct question at the beginning.”

Seeing that Li Ming was about to get angry again, he said, "However, since this is your first time playing this kind of game, I can tell you."

He stirred up anger and then calmed it down, taking and letting go, showing his calmness.

Li Ming secretly admired that even if he talked to the other party normally, he might not be able to gain the upper hand.

"We are going to kill everyone in the entire Corona Borealis ring." After Levenback finished speaking, Li Ming's pupils condensed slightly, as if he was shocked by the news.

He actually said that?

Li Ming noticed something was wrong. What on earth was this guy trying to do?
At the same time, I realized that there seemed to be no need to think of any way to arouse his curiosity.

He had always had plans for me, or rather, for Qinglong.

"You..." He intended to ask again, but was interrupted by Levenbaker, "Okay, it's my turn to ask."

Li Ming was unwilling to give up, and acted like "I really want to strangle you to death now, but in order to get more information, I have to play games with you", and said in a muffled voice: "Ask."

"How did you become Qinglong's student?"

Li Ming was slightly stunned. He was not pretending. He really didn't expect that Levenbaker would ask such a question.

There are many questions that can be broken down into these, but they have all been simplified by Levenbeck. It is obvious that these are not asked casually but have been carefully considered.

This slightly disrupted his train of thought, and he hesitated and said, "Not long after my father died, the teacher came to me and said he wanted to train me. I felt he was very capable, so I agreed."

The answer was simple. Levenbeck had a blank expression on his face, but he was not at peace in his heart, because he was also accepted as a student by the Hammer Forger in this way.

He had investigated Li Ming carefully and knew that he was also very miserable, only slightly better off than him.

Could it be that Qinglong is really a forging hammer?
The way of selecting students is almost exactly the same.

This guy seems to be interested in me instead of Qinglong?
Li Ming was also muttering, not quite sure.

His answer was actually a condensed version of how Levenbaker was accepted as a student.

"It's my turn now. Why did you kill the life forms in the Corona Borealis ring?" Li Ming asked.

"Because Prince Ryan wants to make the Empire a victim," Levenbeck responded simply.

Li Ming pretended to be silent, frowning. He didn't care even though Levenbaker started to lie.

By now, he no longer needed to take the initiative to keep Levenbaker, but instead cared about whether the other party had any intentions towards him.
