The Legendary Mechanic (Transcendental Mechanic)

Somewhere in the Shattered Starlink, three small warships with the logo of the Black Star Legion are cruising in the star space. The models of the spaceships are all blitz-class shuttle ships, which are good at speed.

The duty of this force is to track suspicious transport fleets, and now the Black Star Legion has deployed such tracking teams in many galaxies of the Shattered Starlink, laying a net.

In the command room of the leading spaceship, the captain carefully stared at the star map in front of him, which marked the patrol route of the team. Once suspicious troops were found in the jurisdiction, or new missions were assigned, it would be displayed on the star map.

"I heard that a suspicious transport fleet seemed to be found in the neighboring star area two days ago. The clues were intermittent and seemed to be lost. Do you think it will go to our jurisdiction?" An adjutant next to him asked his colleagues. small talk.

"It would be great to actually come here. As long as we track down the suspicious fleet, we will be credited. We have been patrolling here for several months, and we haven't performed a mission. If we are unlucky, we don't know when we will be able to perform meritorious service. "

The other person's tone was not without envy.

The patrol mission was boring, and the captain didn't stop his subordinates from chatting, he thought so too. Although he is only a grassroots member of the legion, he has a hardworking heart. As long as he accumulates enough meritorious service, he can exchange for the elite training qualification of the legion and invest in himself, which is conducive to promotion.

beep -

At this moment, a rippling red light spot suddenly appeared on the star map, and a prompt sounded simultaneously. This is a field inspection mission issued by the monitoring department, and it usually means that the space buoy has monitored suspicious troops.

"Here comes the mission!"

The captain's eyes lit up, secretly thinking that the opportunity had come, and immediately ordered the fleet to turn around and sail to the marked coordinates.

The three spaceships turned immediately, and the engines sprayed rainbow light, and they shot towards the depths of the starry sky.

After sailing for a while, the team arrived at the target location, turned on the detection device with ease, and thirty or forty space folds appeared on the radar view.

This is the trace left by the high-speed transition. Each trace represents a spacecraft. This trace will disappear with time, but it has not completely dissipated at this time. It stretches out for a long time, pointing out the course of these dozens of spacecraft in disguise. .

"There are a total of forty-one transition tracks. It is a small and medium-sized fleet. Follow the tracks and catch up!" The captain did not hesitate.

The team started with full power and followed the jump marks. After tracking for two hours, a barren asteroid came into view.

The trace is broken here, which means that the target has exited the transition mode here.

"Report, the trace of the target has disappeared. It is possible to stay on this planet temporarily to collect resources, or it may hide in an ambush on the back of the planet. Please instruct the next step." The adjutant looked at the radar without warning and said.

The captain pondered for two seconds, and said: "The second ship scanned the surface of the planet, and the third ship circled to the back of the planet. The first ship I was on stood by and kept the engine running to ensure that it could evacuate at any time."

"receive."

The three spaceships immediately split up, and it didn't take long for the results to emerge.

A docked fleet was found somewhere on the ley line of the planet. The power symbol on the outer armor represented a local business consortium. At this time, the underground gas resources were being collected. The scale was exactly the same as the number of transition traces. It was the target of the team's tracking.

"Issuing a wide-area communication, requesting to check their identity codes." Said the captain.

The transport fleet of the Transcendent star cluster alliance uses various methods to hide the sky and cross the sea. Disguising as troops from other organizations is one of the most common methods. If the tracking team of the legion catches up with a suspicious fleet, it will usually ask to check the identity of the other party first. If there is a misunderstanding, then will let go.

Generally speaking, it is the responsibility of the civilized security team to check the identity of the transit fleet. As a private armed organization, the Black Star Legion does not have this authority.

However, fist is power. Now that the Black Star Legion is chasing the transportation fleet of Modo civilization in the star field, normal organizations will give face and are unwilling to ask for trouble, and most of the civilizations of Broken Starlink will not have any opinions. Just open your eyes Close one eye.

Occasionally, when the tracking team encounters a genuine product, the enemy will strike first, but this is an unavoidable risk. Therefore, the tracking team generally does not fight, and at the same time maintains communication with the intelligence department. In this way, even if the tracking team dies and loses contact, it can still send back news, allowing the monitoring department to confirm the identity of the target's enemy.

At this time, the tracking team sent a communication request to the transport fleet, but it fell silent, and the other party did not respond.

The captain immediately became vigilant, "The situation is not right, prepare to evacuate immediately, report the information..."

But before he finished speaking, his brain suddenly froze, and his vision suddenly became chaotic. This state lasted for a moment before he regained his clear thinking.

However, when he saw the scene in front of him again, his whole body froze, and a horrifying fear erupted from his heart, instantly destroying his reason.

I saw that the surroundings became a prison, and my body was firmly fixed in a confinement cabin, unable to move.

He was shocked.

One second I was still in the command room of the shuttle ship, why did I suddenly come here the next second? !

Before he could figure it out, his head was dizzy again, and the surrounding environment changed again, and he was actually in a transparent glass room, surrounded by a group of extremely huge black beetles, making a commotion.

Looking through the transparent wall of the room, he was immediately terrified. He saw giants walking outside the room one by one. He couldn't even see the end at a glance, and he couldn't see how tall these giants were.

As far as the line of sight is concerned, everything seems to be magnified countless times.

"What the hell..."

The captain subconsciously muttered to himself, but instead of his own voice, a slight hiss sounded in his ear.

He was slightly taken aback, looked down at himself, a chill suddenly rushed into his mind, the whole person was frightened out of his wits, he couldn't believe it.

My body turned into a black beetle, exactly like the bugs around me!

Suddenly, he understood something.

It's not that the world is getting bigger, it's that I'm shrinking!

At this moment, orange-red high-temperature flames descended from the sky, filling the entire glass room, freezing his thoughts in a fiery whiteness.

boom--

With just one breath, all the black beetles were burned into fly ash.

An operator in a white coat removed the flame spray gun used for the experiment, looked at the residue in the glass box, and gestured "OK" to the team leader not far away.

The team leader nodded and reported to the communication screen: "Report to the commander, the target has been eliminated."

"Um."

In the main ship, the commander of this fleet nodded and turned to look out the porthole.

I saw the three shuttle ships in outer space, two of which were blown up by their sudden fire and turned into fireworks in the universe, leaving only the No. 1 command ship under their deliberate release. Leap escaped from the scene.

As for the escaped spaceship, all the members on board have changed their souls under their shells!

"The plan is going well."

Gently nodding his head, the commander turned his head and looked to the side, only to see a dark crystal-colored mirror suspended in the air, with a diameter of about fifty centimeters and a thickness of less than three centimeters.

The soul-turning twins stood in front of the mirror at this time, their palms submerged into the mirror, until their wrists, as if they had been swallowed, and the mirror rippled.

This mirror is a spectacle-like cosmic treasure called the soul-changing instrument!

"Okay, stop for me!"

The commander shouted.

Hearing this, the soul-turning twins slowly withdrew their palms, and the soldiers around immediately stepped forward, removed the soul-turning instrument, and put it in an extremely sophisticated safe, away from the twin souls.

Seeing this, the soul-turning twins casually glanced at the surrounding mechanical forts protruding from the walls and sites to aim at them, and laughed nonchalantly.

These turrets are safety devices to prevent them from changing. They are controlled remotely and intelligently. The soul-changing instrument only works on the souls of creatures. It is useless against machine intelligence.

The commander then withdrew his gaze, looked in the direction where the shuttle was escaping, and said in a low voice:

"The dead soldiers prepared in advance have already entered the enemy's interior, and with our bait, it should be enough to catch people out..."

...

"A tracking team in the Qianguang galaxy was ambushed on the way to track a suspicious fleet. Two spaceships were destroyed on the spot, and only one ship escaped..."

At the headquarters of the Black Star Legion in Broken Starlink, Nello finished reading the report in a low voice, looked up at the cadres in the room, and said:

"Everyone, what do you think?"

Mia's tone was decisive: "The situation is obvious. This transport fleet has made a move. It is basically a member of the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance. Immediately mobilize troops around the incident site to track the target."

"I think it's a bit weird. The troops of the Transcendent star cluster alliance generally don't take hands-on measures, because once they are engaged in a battle, their identities are exposed. Most of the time, they try to find a way to get rid of the pursuers. The reason for encounters is generally that no pursuers are found. , was accidentally caught up... But since they did it, they shouldn't leave their mouths alive, it's been like this in previous cases."

Tomar muttered.

He has learned magic from Lagi for decades. Although the teacher is salty fish, he can't stand his talent. He is now a high-level cadre and has a good relationship with Nile. He is now Nile's team.

"Perhaps the surviving spaceship escaped in time, and the troops of the Transcendent star cluster knew that the information would be leaked, so they didn't want to waste energy chasing it, and would rather spend their time escaping." Mia guessed.

"That makes sense." Tomar did not doubt him.

"Let's ask the survivors about the specific situation first."

Nilo thought for a while, and ordered his assistant to contact the captain of the surviving spacecraft. After a while, the communication screen was connected, and the person on the screen was the captain of the tracking team.

"Retell what happened to you. I want to know all the details."

The captain in the picture flashed his eyes, nodded, put on an expression of lingering fear and anger, and told about his experience.

The soul under this body has been replaced by a dead man prepared by Modo civilization. The effect of the soul-changing instrument is not simply to transfer the souls of the two bodies. The soul of the "grabbing house" can also inherit most of the memory of the target. After all The physical brain is also a memory store, like a library.

But this memory will not naturally merge with the new soul, but needs to be sorted and read slowly, and some parts will be missing. Generally speaking, the older the memory is, the easier it is to be missing, and the most recent memory is basically complete. .

There is repulsion between different souls and bodies. Operations such as reincarnation and seizing a body can also be done by some psychics or psychics, but the success rate is extremely low. Fording and Morningstar are examples.

The soul transfer instrument can greatly increase the success rate of soul transfer, which is close to 100% under normal circumstances, but it will be affected by the strength of the target and the strength of the user. At the same time, using the soul transfer instrument to complete the soul transfer, the rejection of the body and soul will be greatly reduced, and there will not be too strong a rejection reaction.

The soul transfer is only one of the functions of the soul transfer instrument. This thing is very magical, and it has other functions.

After listening to the report, Nilo gave a few words of encouragement and was about to end the communication.

At this time, the "survivor" flashed his eyes, pretending to be sad and angry, and said loudly:

"We are now the closest unit to the enemy. I hope to continue this mission, continue to pursue, and avenge my partners!"

"……Can."

This request is reasonable, and Nilo has no reason to refuse.

He hung up the communication, and Tomar spoke again:

"Nello, since the target knows that he has exposed his whereabouts, he will definitely change his plan. Instead of going to the transportation line, he will flee separately. I suggest adopting the second plan."

This is not the first time this has happened. If the transport troops are exposed, they will basically be regarded as abandoned children. Even if they continue to follow up, they will not be able to find the secret stronghold of the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance.

"That's right." Nero turned to look at Aesop next to him, with an embarrassed tone, "This...Your Excellency Aesop, I will trouble you again this time."

"It's okay." Aesop waved his hand, not paying attention.

The so-called second plan is to borrow Aesop's ability to let him go to the location of the incident, use relevant clues as a medium to make on-the-spot predictions, predict multiple future possibilities, and grasp more clues.

If you want to obtain clearer predictions, you need more media. This method is actually effective. In the past few months, Aesop has not only stayed at the headquarters, but has conducted many on-site inspections under heavy protection. The Black Star Legion found many targets.

Nilo nodded and said loudly:

"Without further delay, prepare the spaceship immediately and send His Excellency Aesop and the guards to the location of the incident."

...

the other side.

A certain star field, a certain planet, a certain base.

Manison stood in front of a virtual screen with his hands behind his back, squinting at the content on the screen.

This is the secret information from the old galaxy base camp, and it comes from the eyeliner he had planted in the Modo civilization many years ago.

Only a brief message was written on it:

——The soul-turning twins have been transferred from the base, and the soul-turning instrument has been taken away from the warehouse by the army. The destination is unknown!

"Returning soul instrument... If I guessed correctly, Modo civilization used this cosmic treasure to deal with him, maybe I can..."

Manison muttered to himself, an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.

Thanks to the 140-jin rabbit for the reward of 13,500!
