Chapter 424 Adam’s anger
"You're welcome. This is what I should do. After all, we are partners." Li Ming responded in a kind tone.
Kostat was both angry and helpless. There was nothing he could do. Qinglong clearly wanted to kill Ryan.
But the problem is that Qinglong's timing to attack was too good. The unknown attacker was ambushing him, but Ryan had already escaped.
If Ryan managed to get out of trouble and Qinglong didn't take action, then he would be in trouble today.
In disguise, Qinglong really saved his life.
Of course, there must be a better way to deal with it. Qinglong can completely skip the second strike and save Ryan's life.
But this kind of thing cannot be talked about openly.
It was like they had tricked Qinglong, and everyone knew what they were thinking, but it had already happened. Qinglong could only admit defeat and did not argue with them about what they had promised before. There was no point in saying it.
It's the same this time. Unless they can regain their position in a crushing manner, if Qinglong swallows the loss, they will have to swallow it too.
However, not knowing how to explain it to Adam, Costart sighed sadly again.
………
In a certain experimental base on the empire's home planet, people are coming and going, and experimenters are everywhere.
Adam stood in front of a huge cylindrical glass jar, in which floated a bloody column, like a dead tree without leaves, with bloody ripples flowing on the surface.
Standing next to her was a middle-aged woman wearing a lab coat who seemed to be the person in charge here.
Adam looked down at the data on the virtual screen, frowning slightly, "Did it fluctuate again just now?"
"Yes, since the blood of the world successfully merged with it, this is the second extremely obvious fluctuation. The first time was three days ago."
The middle-aged woman nodded and quickly called up the relevant data, which was a series of waveform graphs. She explained in a low voice:
"More than ten minutes ago, there was another fluctuation, but it didn't last long."
"However, the sensing ability of World Blood has been severely weakened in the main universe, and the specific coordinates cannot be located. We are still optimizing."
"Three days ago..." Adam frowned slightly. As the Holy Emperor, he would not be directly responsible for this matter. Usually he only needed to know the results.
However, this thing fluctuated twice in a short period of time, which was unusual, so it was reported to him.
"Three days ago, wasn't it the time when Ryan and Qinglong fought." Adam immediately thought that the target of suspicion naturally fell on Qinglong.
Qinglong is Talos?
It's not impossible. The origin of Qinglong is mysterious and no clues can be found. If it is a dimensional life form, then there are many explanations.
"No, that mecha is just an empty shell, there's no one inside." He shook his head again.
The universe is so big, how can it be so easy to determine the target?
"Under what circumstances would such a fluctuation occur?" Adam couldn't help but ask.
The person in charge quickly explained: "According to Chronoa, this thing should always be able to lock on the target, but the life form named Talos should have some means to cover it up. It will only be able to cover it up under certain conditions. The most likely way to be captured is in combat.”
"In a fighting state?" Adam pondered, the possibility of it being Qinglong was even lower. The opponent should be in the lair now, so how could he be in a fighting state.
While he was thinking about it, his personal smart terminal vibrated slightly, and screen data that no one else could see popped up on his retina.
Someone initiated a communication request, and it was Costaat.
He frowned slightly. Only for extremely important news, Costart would communicate through a private terminal. It was a signal channel built by a dedicated line and was not transferred through the star network. It was extremely strict.
Did Ryan reveal some important information and figure out his collaborator?
His heart moved slightly. This was what he cared about most, and he immediately ordered: "Continue optimizing and try to locate the coordinates."
"Understood." The person in charge nodded and watched Adam leave.
After returning to the slightly simple private room, Adam called back. As soon as the signal was established, Costart answered, and his big, slightly serious face appeared on the screen.
Um? Adam immediately felt something was wrong, because the background of Costart was actually a dark starry sky, not in a spaceship, and his face did not look good.
"Ke..." When he was about to ask, his pupils suddenly shrank, a figure peeked out of the camera, and he blurted out, "Qinglong?"
Adam's face changed slightly, and he seemed a bit rude. He suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. How could Qinglong stay with Costart?
Kostat's expression also changed, and he seemed to want to push Qinglong away, but maybe he felt it was too indecent, so he retracted his hand.
"Your Majesty the Holy Emperor?" Li Ming looked at the face on the screen with almost no flaws, and secretly sighed, "This is the first time you and I have talked. It's an honor to meet you."
Adam's expression has calmed down and his tone is calm: "I didn't expect His Excellency Qinglong to show up. It's really surprising."
"The surprise that the Holy Emperor heard today has just begun." Li Ming said calmly, "Just now, suspected collaborators of Ryan raided Prince Costa's spaceship with the intention of rescuing him. It is extremely dangerous."< br>
"Oh?" The premonition in Adam's heart became more and more intense, and Costart's face looked very ugly.
Li Ming explained thoughtfully: "But don't worry, sir. I suspected that this guy would not be caught safely, so I made preparations. In the gift I gave you, I arranged something that would allow me to temporarily teleport. Come and just save Prince Costart.”
"Really?" Adam stared at the mecha head on the screen, expressionless, and asked the most critical question: "Where is Ryan?"
"He was in critical condition at the time. I had no choice but to kill him." A careless voice came through the screen.
Qinglong!
After his guess was verified, Adam suddenly clenched his hands, his eyes changed, and he revealed a smile, "Then I really have to thank you, Lord Qinglong, for not letting Ryan's plan succeed."
This guy is so good at cultivating qi. Li Ming could hardly see any flaws in the other person's face and responded: "It doesn't matter, this is what I should do. Rui En is unruly. After he got out of trouble, he actually threatened to kill him." Prince Costart, this is his biological brother.”
Adam's face was slightly sluggish, and he quickly adjusted himself. The meaning was unclear, "However, if this happens again in the future, it is best to inform us in advance to avoid misunderstandings."
"If there hadn't been this ambush, wouldn't your gift have been delivered directly to me? Could it have also appeared directly in front of me one day?"
"I have no choice but to obey the authority when the matter is urgent. I am also thinking about the empire." Li Ming did not fall for Adam's trick.
Adam also knew that since things had happened, it was impossible to say anything openly. He could only try his best to make up for the losses, and immediately said:
"I remember His Excellency Qinglong told us before that he didn't know much about Ryan's actions, but now it seems that he has concealed a lot of information. He even guessed that someone would rescue Ryan."
Li Ming also understood that he must give something to comfort him now, "I just have some uncertain information. There is a man named Alchemy Baron who appeared from nowhere a few months ago and came into contact with Ryan. ""Alchemy Baron..." Adam murmured this name, which was very unfamiliar.
"That's right. I've been investigating for a long time but haven't found any relevant information, so I didn't say anything last time." Li Ming was only going to reveal the name Alchemist Baron Levin Baker, and he would definitely not say it.
Adam took a deep look at the mecha and said: "Costat, the closest to your coordinates is the Seweleni Republic. I will notify them to send a spaceship to pick you up."
"Two ships." Li Ming added, "I can only replace them, but I can't replace them back."
"I understand. Are you interested in visiting the empire, Your Excellency Qinglong?" Adam extended the invitation.
"No, I have something else to do." Li Ming naturally refused.
After ending the communication, Adam stood there, his expression changed, and he was a little annoyed, and finally he shouted coldly: "Qinglong!"
The impact of this incident was not only that it killed Ryan, but the key was that he had no accountability to the House of Lords. The requirement of the votes of those senior members was that Ryan must be kept.
This is also the benefit he promised to the House of Commons, claiming that Ryan has the possibility of leading to the ultimate evolutionary body.
It is only through the combination of various factors that the three parties will work together.

Now that Ryan is beaten to death by Qinglong, it is very likely that his whole body will be affected.
Adam quickly calmed down and sighed: "It's not perfect after all."
If Ryan were alive, the whole thing would be perfect.
Now that he is dead, there is no use in being upset. What he should consider is how to end it.
The simplest way is to clarify the truth to the Upper House and Lower House, and then capture Qinglong.
But this is obviously impossible. Regardless of whether Qinglong is found or not, Qinglong will still be of great use in his follow-up plan and is a key figure.
However, calculating the time, the time that just fluctuated seems to match the time when Qinglong took action. The possibility that Qinglong is suspected of Talos has once again increased.
"Blue Dragon, Talos..." Adam murmured. If this matter could be verified, he could recover some losses, and fell into a long silence again.
………
For five full days, most of the spaceships that gathered near the Mechanical Royal Court to watch the excitement had already left.
The transport ships of various companies are back online with the Mechanical Royal Court.
Wang Ting has accumulated a large batch of goods, some of which have even exceeded the delivery period stipulated in the contract, but no one has filed for liquidated damages.
These big companies that usually eat people without spitting out their bones, now generously expressed that they could understand the situation of the Mechanical Royal Court, and then expressed their desire to sign a larger contract with them.
Ulrich was still on the way and Li Ming was not here either, so Suzaku simply asked them to wait.
On the interstellar network, the confrontation and fighting between Qinglong and Ruien have gradually dissipated.
The battles are not very interesting to watch. They are all large groups of energy waves. Only a few figures can be seen occasionally. In addition, most of the life forms have no real concept of this level. They only know that it is very powerful.
After a few days of intense discussion, the heat gradually dissipated.
But another thing related to Qinglong gradually boiled up until it swept across the stars.
The Star Cluster Republican Alliance issued a statement——
[In the Sea of Stars, more than 156 living planets were found to have turned into silence. Thirty-four low-level civilizations and six intermediate-level civilizations disappeared forever. The death toll exceeded 200 billion. The direct suspect was former Empire Ryan Prince! 】
It was only at this time that many interstellar life forms understood the scale and level of the so-called interstellar massacre that Prince Costat mentioned at that time!
There are more than a hundred living planets and dozens of civilizations.
It can be said to be the most horrific massacre in the past thousand years.
After the detailed data came out, it really sparked heated discussions, and there were also a lot of picture data. The silent city was lifeless, empty strollers, family photos covered with dust...etc.
This quickly aroused the anger of a large number of interstellar life forms, but they were unable to vent their anger for a while.
After all, the initiator had already been deposed as prince by the empire in full view of the public and sentenced to death.
I couldn't find the target even if I wanted to, like a headless fly.
In this case, some people even praised the empire's courage and ability to correct mistakes. It acted quickly and directly captured an imperial prince and killed his relatives in a just and righteous way.
Or complain about the inefficiency of the Star Cluster Republican Alliance, because no information has been found for so long.
He also praised Qinglong's righteousness and exposed this matter at the risk of being regarded as an enemy by the empire.
After all, before contacting the empire, no one knew how the other party would react to the massacre of a prince.
Others discovered that the chief rulers of civilization were not massacred, but instead changed their identities and fled to other places to live freely.
This group was the most condemned and demanded the death penalty.
Demons are dancing wildly on the interstellar network, and most ordinary life forms always feel that something is weird, but they can't quite put it into words.
I wanted to condemn the empire, but I was stifled by "The empire has done this, what else do you want them to do?"
However, the bottom layer can be fooled, but the top layer cannot be fooled.
The Star Cluster Republican Alliance immediately issued a stern statement, demanding that the empire hand over the murderer and that he be punished under the joint supervision of the Star Alliance.
Moreover, within the Sea of Stars, unprecedented massive protests were launched, claiming that the empire's garrison outside was a cancer and the murderer of the interstellar massacre.
Obviously they wanted to take the opportunity to completely remove the empire's garrison outside.
And at the first moment, the empire once again made a decision that shocked everyone——
[Due to the "Sea of Stars Massacre" incident, the Empire feels that it has failed to maintain its original intention of maintaining interstellar security. Starting today, the Empire will gradually evacuate all garrison bases within the Sea of Stars and severely punish all soldiers and officers who violate interstellar laws. , welcome supervision from all interstellar parties. 】
The stars are shaking again!
What is courage? This is courage!
In just half a day, many interstellar political commentators jumped out to analyze what impact this move would have on the interstellar situation.
