This is not mechanical ascension.

"Didn't anyone get caught?" There was a wave of uncertainty in the other party's tone.

"Your Excellency took action personally, how could he still escape?"

Theo didn't want to discuss this topic, and said angrily: "It's not that he escaped, it's that I didn't find him at all. If I found him, how could he escape."

"Didn't find him? You are a pursuer. With gray eyes that penetrate the darkness, how could you not find him?" The other party was even more surprised.

Theo's eyes turned cold: "I didn't find it, I just didn't find it!"

After the other party was silent for a moment, he said helplessly: "Sir, we agreed that if we can't catch him, it will be difficult to continue the transaction."

Theo shook his head and then added: "It's just that I didn't find him this time. He has moved into Ulrich's castle now. It's hard for me to succeed by myself."

"Didn't you find him?" The other party asked doubtfully: "Why did he suddenly move to the fortress? Have you been discovered?"

Theo's face was cold, his gray pupils flashed coldly, and he said directly without further explanation:

"I don't want to break up with Ulrich. He should have something in his hand that only Qinglong can repair. He should have been preparing for it for a long time."

"Send a few people over here. I can help you contain Ulrich, and you can catch him yourself."

"This..." The other party seemed to be hesitating, "Under the current situation, the leader cannot take action. If it is a trap, we..."

"Who asked your leader to come?" Theo became increasingly impatient.

"Can't you send a few more B-level life forms? I will provide convenience for you."

Speaking of this, after a brief silence, the voice on the other end suddenly changed, "Okay, I will send eight B-level life forms. The development progress of the leader will exceed 90%."

"Eight B-class lifeforms...the development progress is over 90%?" Theo was a little surprised. This number is too much.

The B-level development progress can exceed 90%. After more than ten years of hard work, they can basically become A-level life forms, with only a few exceptions.

This time, the Torch Organization really spent a lot of money.

The other party then said: "I have only one request, it must be foolproof!"

"Don't worry." Theo said solemnly, "I will give you the castle map."

………

After coming out of the "Collector's Mechanic's Black Room", the discomfort caused by being targeted by Theo was relieved a lot.

After a little scanning here, I got two valuable things.

In addition to the [Guns Badge], there is another thing, which is a small auxiliary item called the [Mimetic Imager]. It is a B-level item and requires half a million metal energy to control.

The ability is [Mimetic Projection: Create a mimetic projection of the body, possessing 10% of its own overall strength. 】

It looked like a projection, but it was actually a clone. This was what he asked for in the end.

Listening to the conversation, I learned that Rob and Cassis were old acquaintances. The two were originally going to spar and fight before they came to pick up weapons.

But when he met Li Ming, Rob gave up his original idea and said with a smile on his face, "Your Excellency Qinglong, I have admired you for a long time, and Uncle Sandro has great respect for you."

He was telling lies with his eyes open, and his polite and kind demeanor was really inconsistent with his appearance.

Li Ming had a strange expression on his face and listened to him further: "Can you please go to my room and have a private chat? I have an idea for a weapon here and I would like to ask you for reference."

Huo Tan frowned and was about to interrupt when he heard Li Ming agree, "Okay, no problem."

Cassis looked indifferent. Seeing that her plan was disrupted, she turned around and left. Looking at Rob's back, Hortan hesitated to speak and had no way to stop him. He could only follow from a distance.

This Rob kept talking all the way, his words were full of praise for him, and in the end he said bluntly, "I know that uncle had some misunderstandings with you before, but he has always been a predator, and he will either fight or kill. I have advised him many times.”

"But there is another good thing about my uncle. As long as you are better than him, he will respect you."

Compared with keeping it secretive, it is easier to make people feel good if the matter is brought out in the open. However, Li Ming did not have any trouble in his heart and just smiled all the way.

Until he followed Rob and came to his room.

The smile on his face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a solemn look. He put his finger on his lips to signal Li Ming to be quiet, then took out the interference magnetic field, opened it, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sorry, there are surveillance cameras everywhere in the collector's castle. We can't let him hear what we say next." Luo Bu seemed helpless. Seeing that Li Ming's expression was always calm, he stepped into the topic and made a violent comment:

"Your Excellency Qinglong, your current situation is too dangerous. It can even be said that you will die soon."

oh? Li Ming's face finally showed some waves, and he seemed to finally have some interest: "Are you planning to ambush me?"

"Me?" Rob was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "No, no, your danger does not come from me, but from the Collector."

Li Ming sat down at the table without comment, "Let's talk about it."

Rob frowned, "Don't believe it, I'm guessing, are you helping the collector repair something?"

"Is there any need to guess?" Li Ming smiled.

Rob emphasized: "I'm talking about something more powerful, more precious, and rarer."

The smile on Li Ming's face faded. This time he was really interested in hearing what this guy wanted to say.

Rob mentioned a past event, "Collector Ulrich once served as Star King's personal assistant. After Star King mysteriously disappeared, he should have been the first to learn the news. When my uncle and Lord Theo reacted, , Star King has lost a large number of precious items."

Rob said solemnly: "Ulrich argued that the disappeared things had nothing to do with him, but we all suspect that they are in his hands, including a special item used by Star King to shape the land of stars."

It should be the [Antimatter Recombination Maker], Li Ming looked at him with interest.

"My uncle has tested you many times. Mr. Ulrich has a lot of complaints about you and is very afraid of the trouble you bring." Rob said very calmly: "My uncle even suggested killing you directly, but Ulrich Rishi just didn’t agree.”

"The only way to explain it is that he needs you, and he needs you irreplaceably. I guess he needs you to repair that item for him."

Li Ming's face changed, and he was quite speechless. It turned out that Sandro was also holding back his bad intentions, and thought he really didn't pay attention to things like sublimation ruins, but it turned out that he only stared at Ulrich.

I don’t know if Theo knew it, Sandro suspected it, and Theo had no reason not to guess.

However, his only goal now should be to become an S-class life form, and everything else can be put aside later.

And Sandro should be still a long way away from an S-class life form, so he decided to take Ulrich's idea.

Surrounded by bad people, Li Ming mourned for Ulrich.

Seeing the change in the expression on Li Ming's face, Rob immediately said: "You don't have to rush to reject it. First, let's assume that things are as I guessed."

"Do you think you're in danger?"

Interesting, Li Ming pretended to think, "Maybe."

Rob shook his head, "I don't know your origin. Maybe you don't care about a small A-level life form."

No, I care, I really care. A-level life forms are not small anymore. Li Ming complained and asked: "You tell me so much, what do you mean?"

"Cooperation." Rob said solemnly: "I don't know if you and Ulrich have discussed whether you can leave if the repair is completed."

"If he promises you something, don't believe it. Ulrich will definitely kill you to ensure that the news is not leaked."

"If you were a great mechanic from an orthodox civilization, he might still be afraid of you, but you are just a great mechanic in exile."

Rob deliberately threatened. Li Ming thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "I can't believe his words. Can I believe yours?"

When Rob heard this, his eyes widened suddenly, and he stood up suddenly, with excitement on his face, "Is that thing really in his hands?"

I knew that Li Ming was sneering in his heart and playing this trick with me.

Rob said so much, but it was essentially a test to see if that thing existed and whether it was in Ulrich's hands.

His face darkened, "You... cheated on me?"

Rob took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart. This matter was easier than he thought, probably because the other party also doubted Ulrich's integrity.

"No, I'm just sure of this." Rob shook his head and emphasized: "You must have doubts in your own heart, otherwise you wouldn't accept my words."

Li Ming snorted coldly and remained silent.

Rob kept admonishing: "Sir, you don't have much time. Ulrich has forced you to come to the castle. You can't delay for too long. There is no time left."

"Don't look at the fact that Ulrich has no restrictions or restraints on you now. It's all an illusion. Once the repair is completed, he will kill you as soon as possible!"

He thought I was forced to come, so he tested me, for fear that he would never be able to contact me again, Li Ming thought thoughtfully.

Li Ming's eyes flickered, and finally, as Rob expected, he said: "You want to cooperate, how can we cooperate?"

"We can rescue you." Rob said immediately: "The inside should be coordinated with the outside."

"That simple?" Li Ming frowned.

"The Collector is the land of stars. Among all A-level life forms, it has the smallest territory and the weakest force under its command." Rob's tone was full of confidence.

"My uncle will stop Ulrich. Our men can easily roam this area."

Li Ming's heart moved slightly, and then he couldn't help but feel a sense of joy. Isn't this the opportunity he had been waiting for, and it just came to his door?

But as an old actor, he still abides by professional ethics, his face changed, and he asked: "Then how can you guarantee that you won't kill me?"

"It's very simple." Rob said bluntly: "Our target is just that thing. After the operation is over, we also need to retreat. We don't have time to fight with you anymore. Your personal strength is not low, and you can escape completely."

It's reasonable. Li Ming nodded secretly. After thinking for a while, he said: "Okay, let's do it."

"However, I don't know yet where the restoration work will take place."

Rob was full of confidence: "The collector is cautious. The repaired parts are most likely still in this castle. We have found out that three months ago, he ordered a high-end "Chenxing Wall" from the Giant Shield Company. Vault."

"It arrived a month and a half ago. There is a high probability that it will be renovated and used as a laboratory. Based on the human rights regulations of the Interstellar Alliance, this kind of vault has fatal flaws that are difficult to meet, preventing it from being used as a private prison. ”

Li Ming was quite surprised, "You guys investigated really clearly."

"Of course, as long as you cooperate on time, after cutting off the energy, the system will be locked and opened from the inside, and you will be able to escape."

Rob said with a teasing smile, "I hope you won't be so conspicuous when you are hiding. It would be bad if you are targeted again."

The tone was relaxed, as if their plan had succeeded.

He even drew a cake for me. Li Ming shook his head secretly. This guy thought I was discovered by Ulrich.

The reason why Ulrich treated him this way was partly to appease him, and partly to be afraid.

Li Ming guessed that Ulrich could sense that Qinglong's appearance was heading straight for him, so he was in a dilemma.

He even doubted that he, a great mechanic, had any trump cards that he could use against Class A life forms after repairing them.

But in the eyes of Rob and others, there is another "truth". He is a person being coerced and has no ability to resist at all.

Rob discussed some more details with him before letting him leave. Then he couldn't help but clenched his fists, loosened them, and clenched them again, breathing heavily.

After a moment of silence, he hurriedly left and came to another large room. Sandro was here, seemingly developing gene seeds, and the hot breath like a volcanic crater hit his face.

"Uncle." Rob shouted, and Sandro opened his eyes and turned on the interference magnetic field.

Rob, who had been holding it in for a long time, said excitedly: "It was a scam. That thing...is really in Ulrich's hands."

What!

Sandro's eyes almost spit out substantial flames, a terrifying breath spurted out, and the floor made an overwhelming "crack" sound and cracked.

But the next moment, his breath converged, Sandro stared angrily, and then laughed:

"Okay, I knew it, I knew it, damn Ulrich, he is the smartest, he has been hiding it for so many years, let's see how long you can hide it!"

"Qinglong and I have made an agreement that we will take action after he disappears for more than ten days." Rob further said.

Sandro nodded with satisfaction, "You have done a good job, get that thing, and I can restore the glory of the Land of Stars!"

Hearing this, Rob hesitated and said, "Uncle, we don't have to stick to the land of stars. The stars are so big..."

"You don't understand." Sandro shook his head, but he didn't explain much. After a brief excitement, he asked for details. After hearing the description, he asked suspiciously: "That easy?"

"It sounds simple, but the psychological game we had at that time was very difficult." Rob couldn't help but said, complaining in his heart that he was not smart when he should be smart, and was too stupid when he shouldn't be stupid.

Sandro frowned and nodded, "After the operation is over, you want to let him go?"

"How is it possible..." Rob shook his head and smiled ferociously: "This is a great mechanic, how can he let him go so easily? Don't worry, I will give him a big surprise."
