This is really not mechanical ascension-Chapter 61 - Cleansing the Fierce Tiger Gang!

“Forget it… I just remembered there’s something I haven’t finished, I won’t be leaving for now.” Yao Guang struggled to explain, “Sorry for the trouble, we’ll be leaving now.”

Having said that, he didn’t dare to turn around and began to slowly back away.

Peng Gang didn’t say a word this time, thinking Yao had suddenly changed the plan.

“Wait…” Li Ming suddenly spoke, and Yao’s face dramatically changed.

He subconsciously pulled out a metal folding knife with his left hand, unfolding it inch by inch, its cold light flickering, while his right hand held a pistol, his throat bobbing.

“Give me that thing on your face.” Li Ming pointed at his face.

“Mimic Mask?

He noticed it?” Yao’s heart thumped, not daring to let his guard down, quickly ripping the Mimic Mask from his face and tossing it to Li Ming.

Li Ming looked at the Mimic Mask, unsurprised.

He had already spotted the two of them while he had been surveilling the surroundings earlier.

It was just that he didn’t expect that on making his move, Yao would show up at his door.

Bang!

The door closed, Yao pulled Peng Gang and quickly retreated to a safe distance, finally letting out a sigh of relief, feeling almost faint.

“Lost the Mimic Mask, there’ll be a penalty…” Peng Gang lamented softly.

Looking at Peng’s seemingly simple face, Yao was infuriated, “Penalty my ass!”

“Hey, hey… wait, what are you doing, you dare to hit me, just wait till I catch my breath…just wait till I recover!”

“You have no honor!”

……

“With this thing, there’s no need to constantly cover up with some shabby cloth.” Li Ming toyed with the Mimic Mask, deciding to upgrade it first—

[N-2 Advanced Optical Mimicry Mask–E-class: Made by mixing liquid colloids with various chemical materials.

Control Effect: Concealing Blessing—60%

Control ability—Mimicry: More precisely adjusts facial data and simulates voice, making it less likely to be detected.]

Four hundred points of metal energy made the Mimic Mask even more exquisite, even capable of adjusting the voice.

Once placed into the Control Bar, it would be directly adjustable, but Li Ming did not want to occupy a slot for this, so he took out the Mimic Mask and stuck it onto his face, stepping over a body below his feet and rubbed it against the mirror to form the desired appearance.

“Who’s next…” Li Ming accessed the Black Hole Network, looking for the reward postings of the Fierce Tiger Gang cadres.

……

In the outer city, on Red Street, not far from Scar-faced Tiger’s stronghold, in an old house, Ah Hu’s body was lifted by mechanical arms, while Li Ming casually browsed his handheld terminal.

“What…

what are you planning to do?” Ah Hu’s body went numb, having just been electrified, leaving him with no strength to resist.

The Fierce Tiger Gang was after this man, as was Silver Grey City.

He thought this person would carefully hide, not daring such a blatant massacre.

“Tell me about Tu Zheng.” Li Ming’s voice was deep, the light from his handheld terminal reflecting off his face.

He knew this guy was closely linked to Yang Peng, likely undercover, and also Tu Zheng’s adopted son, surely knowing quite a bit.

“You intend to kill him?”

Li Ming remained noncommittal, if he had the chance, he would naturally like to try, “People like you, it can hardly be said that you have loyalty…”

Ahu remained silent, seemingly hesitating, pondering, yet ultimately spoke up, “Tu Zheng, an E-grade life form, his gene seed has already been developed to 100%.”

“100%?” Li Ming paused slightly, the city defense’s records showed only 60%, while he had estimated 90%.

“His right arm has been transformed into an armed prosthetic, specially customized, and combined with the gene seed of the Blazing Alligator Dragon, his burst energy level surpasses 100E.”

“Skilled in close combat, always wearing the Tank Guard 211 Combat Armor, which can directly defend against RPG rockets, he hasn’t left the headquarters in half a month.

Last time, a team of E-grade Bounty Hunters tried to assassinate him, and they were completely wiped out.”

Li Ming’s movements paused briefly, and his brows furrowed.

……

“Has Li Ming returned?” Yang Peng looked gloomy as he arrived on the 223rd floor and roused the resting Li Ning, who blinked sleepily, “Team Yang?”

“I haven’t seen Li Ming.”

“This kid, still daring to run around!” Yang Peng was agitated with a mix of rage, having already contacted Li Ming yesterday, but he still wasn’t showing up today.

The smart terminal couldn’t reach him, as if he had disappeared completely.

If it wasn’t for the bounty still being posted, Yang Peng would have thought Li Ming had been killed.

“Contact colleagues from other teams, if they see Li Ming, tell him to come back immediately!” Yang Peng hurriedly left these words and prepared to leave.

Li Ning, who hadn’t even finished yawning, hastily said, “Team Yang, wait…”

Li Ning quickly activated his smart terminal and said, “The intelligence department reported that as of this morning, more than five executives of the Fierce Tiger Gang have died, almost wiped clean.”

“What!?” Yang Peng was shocked, snatched Li Ning’s smart terminal rapidly browsing through it, and saw the intelligence department’s screenshots showing the bounties of five individuals had been claimed.

The claimant was, indeed—Specter!

“Him again!” Yang Peng’s face alternated between shock and anger, while Li Ning scratched his head and said, “I heard that the intelligence department exploded last night, everyone thought that Specter had left.”

“Also, earlier, Yao Guang and Peng Gang encountered him, according to their exchange with the intelligence department, the person who killed Scar-faced Tiger is likely Specter.”

“What!?” Yang Peng’s pupils dilated, astounded that the two could be connected, even saying it’s the same person!

This raised a multitude of unanswered questions.

Li Ning added, “The intelligence department speculates that Specter must have a vendetta against the Fierce Tiger Gang.”

“He killed Feng Yue, why didn’t he kill those two?

What exactly does he want…” Yang Peng’s forehead was locked in deep thought, unable to understand.

Then, as if suddenly realizing something, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly opened his own smart terminal.

Li Ning glanced over, his eyes widened, and he whispered, “Team Yang, you’re still in the department, are you browsing the Black Hole Network?”

Yang Peng could no longer care about anything else, he quickly scrolled through the bounties, and finally, he saw a familiar name, the bounty was still posted, and had not been claimed—he let out a sigh of relief.

Ignoring Li Ning, he returned to his office and quickly contacted someone.

He couldn’t stop tapping on the desktop, pacing back and forth, until the smart terminal connected, he immediately said, “That Specter is cleaning up the people of the Fierce Tiger Gang, find a place to hide quickly, or let’s send you to prison first.”

The other party did not respond for a long time, and Yang Peng’s heart suddenly surged with a bad premonition as the silence dragged on, he tentatively asked, “Specter?”

After a long time, a hoarse voice mixed with static came through.

“Yang Peng?”

Yang Peng’s pupils contracted, his palms subconsciously clenched, his whole body breaking out in goosebumps, chilling to the bone.

How could he know my identity?

Did Ahu reveal me?

No, impossible, he would never betray me.

“Where’s Ahu!” Yang Peng gritted his teeth, seemingly able to visualize on the other side, the chilling smile curving on the lips of the one known as Specter.

“Beep-beep—”

No further sound came through, Yang Peng slammed the metallic desk with a bang, his eyes bloodshot, panting heavily.
