This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 42: A sudden attack! (Life and death, please read on!)
As the level of life increases, the perception of the external environment will become very keen. He originally wanted to switch to the smart terminal to conduct an investigation.

But switching back and forth requires cooling. Now the three controlled objects have a very large impact on one's own strength, and none of them can be missing.

He kept his temper and remained calm.

As usual, he first went to Li Changhai's room and took a look around, then returned to his own room. He lay down on the bed, breathed a sigh of relief, and seemed to be ready to sleep.

But at the moment he closed his eyes, his body suddenly rolled up and fell under the bed, looking at his own bed in "surprise and doubt".

A pitch-black sharp blade pierced out from the center of the bed, and then twisted suddenly, causing the small bed to explode. A black shadow rushed out from it and headed straight for Li Ming.

Li Ming rolled hastily to avoid the attack, appearing very flustered, and actually crashed into the corner of the wall, which was a blind spot with no escape.

"You react quite quickly. It's worth joining the city guard." The figure was dim and leisurely playing with the black dagger in his hand. His whole body was wrapped in black combat uniform, leaving only a pair of eyes.

"You...who are you!" Li Ming shouted harshly.

"Tsk, you are really strong on the outside but weak on the inside..." He said with a little mockery: "Why not just live an honest life? Why join the city guards? You are making contributions very quickly."

The group of people who killed Li Changhai? Li Ming speculated in his mind, it was almost certain that it was just him, or were there others?

He was alert and wanted to get more out of her.

"What are you talking about? I'm a regular guard! How dare you attack and kill me!?"

Li Ming crouched in the corner with his hands in front of him. His posture was full of flaws. Such words obviously did not pose any threat, so the other party laughed.

"Haha, if you hadn't obtained that damn rookie, I wouldn't have to come back to kill you."

The other party squatted down, as if he enjoyed watching the target's terrified and fearful expression up close.

The black blade in his hand danced between his fingers.

"I"... just him? Li Ming caught the word.

"After all... who knows if you will be lucky enough to be valued by the upcoming Blue Star executives, and then suddenly decide to investigate the cause of your father's death."

Li Ming realized that the other party should have left after killing Li Changhai.

But later on he discovered that his rising fame, coupled with the impending arrival of the interstellar review team and Blue Star escorts, posed a hidden danger.

Although the possibility of having bad luck is very small, the other party does not mind eliminating this possibility.

This guy should be just a pawn. It is likely that his strength is too weak and not worth everyone coming back.

"I'm a good person, right? I can let you die with understanding." He grinned, revealing his pale teeth.

Suddenly, the long dagger in his hand turned into a thin line and went straight to Li Ming's throat.

However, the expected scene of blood splattering did not appear. Instead, a hand pinched his wrist with such strong force that he could not move.

His pupils suddenly contracted and trembled, and he looked at the scene in front of him in shock!
The fear and anxiety on Li Ming's face turned into calmness. He raised his right hand and held his arm like an iron clamp.

Then, electric arcs burst out with "crackling" sounds, and he only felt numbness in his arms. The palm that was tightly holding the dagger involuntarily spread out, and with a bang, the long dagger fell to the ground.

"Elemental power, you... you... what on earth..."

He simply couldn't believe what he saw. How could this kid control the power of elements! ?

Where did this guy get the genetic seeds, and how could he develop it to this level in such a short time?

Wasn’t his intelligence “non-threatening”?

He had too many doubts that were not explained, and he had no chance to find the answers.

"Are you interested in talking about you and the things behind you? Otherwise... I will slowly kill you." Li Ming's expression was calm and he clenched his palms tightly. This was the crushing brought by the elemental power.

The other party had almost no power to resist.

Crack! There was a dull sound of bones breaking, and the intense pain made the other party roar in a low voice. He pulled a piece of cloth and stuffed it into his mouth, and then found a layer of plastic to pad under his body.

Li Ming held the dagger, stabbed it into the skin, and rubbed it bit by bit.

The piercing pain made him tremble, veins bulged on his forehead, and his pupils were filled with bloodshot. Blood flowed down his limbs and gradually gathered under his body.

Ten minutes, twenty minutes...

"Aren't you going to tell me yet?" Li Ming pulled the cloth out of his mouth.

“Uh-ah~” His face was twisted, mixed with pain and a miserable smile, his eyes full of resentment: “You… you hid too deeply, everyone was deceived by you, there is no threat at all… heh… damn information!”

He looked crazy: "But, I... am just the beginning. If I die, you won't live for long!"

Li Ming frowned slightly, swung the dagger and cut the throat. It had come to this point and it would be a waste of time to continue.

"What kind of organization is this..."

Li Ming didn't understand what Li Changhai had done to deserve the other party to come to him after so many years?

Pick up the corpse, carry it to the high-temperature furnace downstairs, and throw it directly into it. After it is turned on, flames will gush out of it and the corpse will soon turn into ashes.

The flickering flames made Li Ming's face flicker. He was playing with the dagger in his hand. He could control this thing, but the effect was very poor.

Absorb it and get 32 ​​points of metal energy.

More than half a month had passed since he was publicly commended, and Li Ming was thinking in his heart.

This is roughly how long it took this guy to return.

That is to say, I should be safe within half a month, and he felt a little anxious.

The strength of that group of people is not clear at the moment. Out of caution, it is natural to increase one's own strength as much as possible.

.........

In the warp channel, the lights were bizarre and fleeting. In the room, the old-fashioned pipe was flashing red light and surrounded by clouds and mist.

"Captain!" Someone pushed the door open and the short man said quickly, "There has been no news from Black Spider for five hours. According to the regulations, Black Spider cannot be out of contact for so long."

"Hmm?" He put down his pipe, stood up, frowned, and said, "An accident? What happened?"

The short man tapped the smart terminal in his hand and responded, "It's unclear at the moment, but that planet has been very busy recently. There are several large bounties, which has attracted many bounty hunters."

“Maybe it has something to do with them.”

"Bounty hunter..." After a moment of silence, a dull voice sounded in the room: "Turn the spaceship around and go back."

"Yes!"

……

"Hmm, it's still 90%. Electrotherapy at home is indeed useless." At five in the morning, Li Ming looked at the display on the testing equipment.

Reaching the 90% mark means that we have completely entered the late stage of genetic seed development. The rate is getting slower and slower, and the development conditions are becoming more and more stringent.

"However, since that group of people have already set their sights on me, I don't need to deliberately conceal my own strength. I will find an opportunity to apply for the city guards' special training room."

Li Ming wiped his body and thought about it.

After putting on his uniform, Li Ming went to work. It was early in the morning, and there was a drizzle in the gloomy sky. Everyone on the skytrain looked very tired.

After arriving at the City Guard headquarters, Yang Peng called him into his office before he even sat down.
