This is not mechanical ascension.

"Is the banquet over so soon? Doesn't he enjoy it more?" Deyes said indifferently.

"The master is not a person who is greedy for pleasure." Lei Lei explained seriously.

Deyes was about to choke out a few words, but his face darkened again. How could he compete with a mechanical body?

"I'm not interested. Tell your master that I'm drunk now and need to rest." Deyes wanted to close the door, but found that he couldn't pull it open. When he looked down, he found that the legs of the mechanical body were stuck in the door. seam.

"What do you want to do?" Deyes looked cold. How could a mere mechanical body want to bully him?

"Oh, sorry, sorry..." Lei Lei suddenly realized it and hurriedly retracted his legs.

Deyes was completely speechless. He was speechless for a while. The level of this mechanical body was too low.

After closing the door, this sudden episode did not disrupt his thoughts. He called up the document again and opened the additional special agreement.

"Dear Great Mechanic - Lord Deyes, I am Asmara..."

"...If you are willing to cooperate with us, in addition to the benefits guaranteed by the Torch Organization, we are willing to provide more additional prices..."

This was an invitation from the Etlan Civilization to cooperate with him. It was not surprising that he was targeted by the Islamic Civilization.

He was not surprised that the other party could find out his connection with the laboratory.

It is even said that he had some deliberate intentions, just to use the power of Etlan to find out the origin of this thing.

He had no intention of cooperating with Etlan. The Etlan civilization was too big, and if he cooperated with them, he would easily be eaten to the bone.

There is still some room for change in cooperation with the Torch Organization.

But now the emergence of the Azure Dragon and the three A-level life forms he brought have greatly moistened the cake after opening the Ascendant ruins.

Coupled with the series of things that just happened, this gave him some thoughts.

Deyes did not notice that in the extremely long shadow behind him, a pair of eyes were slowly opening.

"Tsk... special agreement?" Li Ming, who was hiding in the shadows, was quite surprised.

After Deyes left, the party ended not long after.

Realizing that he was being targeted by Deyes, Li Ming naturally did not have the habit of waiting for the other party to make the first move, so he prepared to see what this guy wanted to do.

He first used [Shadow Sting] to hide in the shadow of Thunder, and then in the shadow of Deyes.

The ability of [Shadow Sting] requires contact with the target's shadow in order to complete dormancy and transfer.

But this hidden state is quite strange, like a space sandwich, but not. If someone attacks his lurking shadow, he will still be hurt.

It is between half virtual and half real, and once it attacks, its sure-hit characteristic will follow it like a shadow. No matter how the opponent avoids it, it will have no effect.

What surprised Li Ming was that based on the current situation, Deyes seemed to be secretly communicating with Asmara.

Then the other party will have an explanation after getting the design data about the sublimator.

That design blueprint was most likely obtained by the Torch Organization when it attacked Asmara's laboratory last time.

"That seems to be a data prison, using junk data to create a fence to curb the spread of the virus." Li Ming looked at it. He had some hacking skills, so he could tell.

"interesting…"

Li Ming guessed that Deyes actually had some way to bypass the Torch Organization's blockade and communicate with the outside world.

"Every great mechanic cannot be underestimated..."

Scanning the terms, Deyes had read them once and remembered them firmly in his mind.

These seemingly formal terms are just empty words. When they really want to fall out, no one will admit it.

At that time, it will depend on their respective methods. He is just a mechanic. Even if Brot is added, it will be difficult to compete with the Etlan civilization.

Although a green dragon appeared and overwhelmed him, and the cake was divided much thinner, he was still quite hesitant.

Finally, he put away the additional agreement, his eyes flashed, and he murmured in a low voice: "I hope you don't force me."

Force him? Who forced him?

Li Ming heard it clearly in the shadows and couldn't help but be surprised. Who was he talking about? It couldn't be me, right? Or Cornette?

What's the meaning? Is he prepared to cooperate with Asmara, or not?

This guy seemed to be still hesitating and undecided.

Li Ming thought to himself that the current situation seemed to be different from what he had just imagined. Deyes seemed to have not cooperated with Asmara yet.

"Deyes hasn't made up his mind yet, but he will switch to Asmara due to certain things." Li Ming estimated.

Suddenly, for some reason, Deyes suddenly felt a chill. He subconsciously turned his head to look, but there was nothing behind him.

He looked suspicious and looked around carefully, but still found nothing.

At this moment, the knock on the door rang again, and Deyes twitched the corner of his mouth. Only half of the metal body appeared on the video terminal.

It's another mechanical body under Qinglong's hand.

He gritted his teeth. He had already seen it once. Before the other party could knock on the door, he opened it and suppressed the anger in his heart. He said in a deep voice: "I have already answered the question to another mechanical body. I have no interest in it. Tell your master, experiment." See you in the room!”

The shadows on the ground fluctuated, and Teper's voice was loud: "The master asked me to tell you, he knows."

Bang!

The door closed, Deyes gasped and growled in a low voice: "It's too much to bully others, it's too much to bully others!"

Tepper walked all the way back to the room, and the staff on the road cast strange looks from time to time.

Climbing out of the shadow of Tepper, Li Ming's eyes flickered. He did not choose to kill Deyes on the spot.

On the one hand, he took into account the reaction of Connet and others. They had just arrived and Deyes was dead. Even if there was no evidence, they would definitely suspect them.

That Brot force would definitely make a big fuss and cause a lot of waves.

On the other hand, it was because he realized that Deyes might have other uses.

"However, lurking in the shadows is easy to be sensed." Li Ming frowned slightly. When his murderous intention emerged, Deyes, a B-level life form, could sense it, not to mention the A-level life form.

"How to strengthen this kind of concealment..."

After this experiment, he found that [Shadow Sting] was quite powerful, but the possibility of being discovered by the target needed to be reduced.

After thinking for a long time, he suddenly froze and murmured: "So this is how the concealment blessing is used."

...

Just when Li Ming and his party arrived at the Torch Organization.

In the ruined city of the starship, the main wealth was divided up by Li Ming and his team, and the rest was snatched away by the scavengers here.

The huge and broken starship is now really just an empty shell, and the internal ecological life-support devices have been removed and taken away.

On the thick and rotten skeleton, An Ye, carrying a slender black long box, is looking around. Incomplete metal pieces of iron float by him, and several life forms in bloated combat uniforms are lying around.

He himself is completely in the interstellar environment, but he has not taken any protective measures, only a simple oxygen shield.

"Another step late." He sighed, turned on the smart terminal, and entered the black hole network.

His page seems to be completely different from the ordinary background, and many logos have golden lines on the edges.

There was an unread message in the background. After opening it, it was the intelligence he bought-

"According to the news from the Itlan civilization, it has been confirmed that the Great Mechanic Qinglong and three other A-level life forms have gone to the Torch Organization."

In this paragraph, several words were marked in bright blue font, such as "Itlan Civilization", "Great Mechanic Qinglong"...

"Torch Organization? An Ye looked a little confused, "Why does this name sound a bit conflicting with me?"

He clicked "Torch Organization" and a new page popped up immediately, requiring him to pay.

An Ye was obviously accustomed to this. He paid two million star coins and a large amount of text was refreshed.

"...A local resistance organization active in the Corona Borealis ring-Silver Star Cluster, established in...

"...Most of the members joined because of the persecution of the advanced civilization Itlan..."

"...and were funded by a mysterious organization..."

After browsing through the paragraphs, An Ye's face became even worse.

He was unfamiliar with the place and had no way to contact this organization.

He clicked on the blue fonts in the text one by one, jumping to the payment page one by one. After spending tens of millions of star coins, he finally saw a familiar name.

"… Three hundred and twenty-four years ago, the Torch Organization suffered an unprecedented major blow. A traitor appeared in the upper echelons, and three A-level life forms were all killed. The Holy Revolution Organization lent a hand, allowing them to survive..."

"Holy Revolution..." He muttered, and then opened the contacts, looking through them one by one, and finally found someone and tried to initiate a communication.

After a long beep, the call was finally connected. The other party's voice was hoarse and a little surprised: "An Ye? I heard that you did a big thing in the Xingyuan Empire. If you are not busy escaping, how can you have time to contact me?"

"Wendel, do you have any impression of the Torch Organization?" An Ye asked directly.

"The Torch Organization?" Wendel hesitated at first.

"A local resistance organization active in the Silver Line Group." An Ye reminded.

"I remember the Silver Star Cluster, near the Corona Borealis ring of the Xingyuan Empire." Wendel suddenly realized, "There is indeed a local resistance organization and an interesting civilization. They actually mastered the technology to communicate with dimensional creatures, and then they were destroyed."

"But the remaining people seem to have joined the Torch Organization and caused a lot of trouble."

"Do you have the contact information of their leader?" An Ye asked.

"What do you want to do? Did they provoke you?" Wendel asked back.

"Something." An Ye did not explain.

"Ha..." Wendel smiled: "I heard that the Xingyuan Empire activated the high-dimensional blockade device in the Corona Borealis ring and it kept shrinking. You are trapped in it."

An Ye frowned and said nothing.

"Grand Duke Gu Ya, tsk... you are really brave." Wendel praised, and then changed the subject: "How about this, tell me who hired you to assassinate Grand Duke Gu Ya."

"I will tell you the contact information of the leader of the Torch Organization."

"Get lost!" An Ye frowned, and Wendel sighed, "In this case, there is nothing I can do."

"Don't forget, you still owe me a life."

Wendel paused, and said helplessly: "Well, forget it, tell me why you want to contact the Torch Organization, and I will tell you the contact information of its leader."

An Ye hesitated for a moment, and still said: "The Phantom Hunter is damaged, I need someone to repair it."

"Huh?" Wendel was stunned: "Your gun is broken? No wonder you can't escape."

"But, are you sure there is someone in that small place who can repair your gun?"

An Ye frowned and said: "There is a great mechanic named Qinglong, it seems possible."

"Qinglong? Not a great mechanic... Huh?" Wendell stopped mid-sentence, as if he was checking information.

"This Azure Dragon isn't from the Silver Star Cluster? It's not even from the Corona Borealis Ring... It's interesting, but he doesn't seem to be a star-casting mechanic."

"It's just a repair, maybe a star-casting mechanic is not needed." An Ye shook his head and said impatiently: "I've already told you the reason, it's your turn."

Wendell sent an electronic business card and said at the same time: "It seems that you have really reached a dead end and put your hope on this road where there is almost no hope of success."

"If it doesn't succeed, the famous An Ye may have to fall..."

"Don't worry, if I escape, I will find you as soon as possible." An Ye said expressionlessly.

Wendell's laughter stopped and he said helplessly:

"Remind you, we only gave them a little help hundreds of years ago. This kind of resistance organization has its own ideas and is unswerving."

"They seem to be busy with some big plans recently and may not be willing to contact you."

"You can't even open your mouth?" An Ye frowned.

Wendell shook his head and sneered: "Who am I? I can't provide any help to others, and I can't threaten them. Why are they willing to listen to me?"

An Ye ended the communication directly, touched the black box behind his back, and looked up at the silver-free starry sky, seeming a little worried.

Wendell was right. Without this gun, he could not break through the high-dimensional blockade and could only wait to be caught in the trap.

Moreover, due to the sudden attack some time ago, the Star Empire seemed to have discovered that he was in the land of stars, and the blockade area suddenly shrank to a few nearby star clusters.

"Faint hope..."

…

At the headquarters of the Torch Organization, Li Ming was calculating the many objects he controlled with hidden blessings, but Jesiah suddenly came to visit.

"Your Excellency Jesiah." Li Ming opened the door. He didn't have a bad impression of Jesiah. His main combat profession, the mechanical iron cavalry, came from him.

He originally wanted to go to the other party and ask Deyes about something, but he didn't expect that the other party came first.

After entering the room, Jesiah stretched out his palm, opened a small device in his palm, interfered with the force field, and immediately surrounded the two people.

Li Ming has roughly checked that there is no monitoring equipment in this room.

The Torch Organization also knows that this is unnecessary and might as well leave a good impression.

"Lord Monroe, have you repaired it?" Jesiah got straight to the point, suppressing his excitement.

"Huh?" Li Ming was surprised and his eyes flashed slightly: "What Monroe?"

Jesiah suppressed his excitement and explained: "Don't worry, I am a loyal follower of Lord Monroe. I know that Lord Monroe has been hiding in the Land of the Stars."

"When I saw the silver mechanical body assisting you in combat, I was sure that it was Lord Monroe."
