This is really not mechanical ascension-Chapter 234 - 132: Dimensional Creature--Thunder Hormuz
Chapter 234: Chapter 132: Dimensional Creature--Thunder Hormuz
Li Ming smiled for a moment before quickly composing himself, as if he felt it was inappropriate. After greeting the security brothers, he took Xu Heng into the examination hall.
"They’re in the TC442 examination room," Xu Heng said, intending to lead the way, but Li Ming interrupted him, "Is there another examination room available?"
"There is...," Xu Heng replied, puzzled.
"Take me to an available examination room, and then search them for everything on their person and show it to me," Li Ming instructed him. "Also, keep this matter confidential."
"This..." Xu Heng didn’t quite understand; he thought Li Ming had come to appease the others.
This was even more out of rule, but since he had already gone this far and saw that Li Ming had no intention of backing down, he had no choice but to proceed with a hardened scalp.
He led Li Ming to a separate examination room and did not turn on the surveillance in this area. freeweɓnøvel~com
In the narrow room, the crew members sat on chairs, whispering and murmuring to each other, filled with anxiety and unease.
No one had told them what happened, only that they were to stay here temporarily, and as time passed, many inexplicable suspicions arose.
Li Bo’er’s gaze kept darting toward a certain direction in the corner.
"Everyone..." Xu Heng entered and immediately drew everyone’s gaze.
Li Bo’er immediately stood up and shouted, "What the hell is going on? Why are we being detained here without any explanation? I’ve been to so many places, but this is the first time I’ve encountered such a thing."
"Even if we have to be detained, you should give us a reason, right? Where are your superiors? I want to make a complaint!"
"Everyone, please calm down, calm down," Xu Heng raised his hand to pacify them, "It’s not that we want to detain you on purpose, an accident happened outside, everyone is being held here, no one can escape it."
"An accident? What kind of accident?" Li Bo’er pressed on, Xu Heng hesitated before he finally sighed and said, "I shouldn’t reveal this to you, but we’re all our own people, you must not let this spread."
The noise in the cabin gradually subsided, and everyone curiously looked at him.
"Just five hours ago, right after your spacecraft arrived, a person died here, a Sela person," he said, lowering his voice considerably.
"A Sela person died?" Li Bo’er was stunned, overturning all of his prior conjectures.
This was too unlucky, to be trapped here because of a dead person.
His identity was not ordinary, the longer he stayed here, the greater the chance of being discovered.
Thinking of this, he complained, "Just because of a Sela person, you Blue Star people detain everyone here? Is their identity so noble?"
"Worth rushing to fawn over them like this?"
"What do you mean by fawn?" The comment didn’t sit well with Xu Heng, who responded displeased:
"It’s because his identity is indeed not low, seems like he was some prince’s teacher, called...Sain?"
Xu Heng frowned, "Anyway, his identity is special, otherwise there wouldn’t be such a big fuss."
Sain? Is it Sain?
In the corner, Ling Lan lifted her head, her brow slightly furrowed, Sain is dead?
Li Bo’er was also startled. He had been sent on a mission and had a rough understanding of the various forces on Jingnan Star.
Sain wasn’t a small figure, to die here unexpectedly?
He was a C-level life form, how could there have been no detection of combat fluctuations?
As these two infiltrators were mulling over this in their minds, they heard Xu Heng utter a shocking statement: "But that’s not the most crucial part. It’s said that the Torch did it!"
"The Torch!?" Li Bo’er almost jumped up, his voice changed, in utter shock.
Ling Lan’s brows knotted in frustration, how come I wasn’t aware?
Xu Heng wasn’t surprised by Li Bo’er’s reaction; it was normal for ordinary people to react this way upon hearing about the terrorist organization Torch.
"Yes," Xu Heng said resignedly: "Getting involved with such a terrorist organization, you all are really just unlucky, and now a new directive has come from above, requiring a check of personal belongings."
"Please cooperate, everyone."
"Hand over personal belongings?" Li Bo’er whispered, "Do we need to bother? You said it yourself, that guy died as soon as we entered the port."
"Don’t worry, it’s just a formality," Xu Heng’s eyes signaled.
Li Bo’er looked at the corner nonchalantly and then clapped his hands, "Alright, you all heard what Captain Xu said, let’s all cooperate."
Xu Heng, holding the tray, quickly collected everything and left the room with a smile, wiping the non-existent sweat beads from his forehead as he walked towards another empty examination room.
"I have all their belongings here," Xu Heng said, looking back at Li Ming three times as he left the room carefully, closing the door behind him and standing guard outside.
He was genuinely afraid of any problems, but having come this far, refusal was not an option anymore; he could only pray in his heart.
The reason for confiscating these personal belongings was that Li Ming wanted to see if he could glean any clues from them.
Most of them were commonplace items, and the contents of most smart terminals were barren, no useful clues.
Even the smart terminals belonging to Li Bo’er and Ling Lan were no different.
The other party had also anticipated this situation, but Li Ming wasn’t disappointed—trying was all he could do.
The real infiltrators were likely just the two of them; with such things, the more people there are, the messier it gets.
He pondered, his gaze suddenly sharpening—
