Ding Meng said, "Looks like I was right. You were the one who arranged all of this."
The armor shook its head. "I didn't arrange it. It was bound to happen sooner or later."
Ding Meng did not understand what the armor was saying. He suddenly remembered that the Divine Light Singularity Guardian had explained that the first batch of powerful enemies had built this military fortress more than 20 years ago. He asked, "The Black Handprint came here 26 years ago?"
The armor said, "That's right. The Fifth Lord also heard about the Mou Xing civilization scattered in our main star system many years ago. He had always coveted Shenguang Technologies. When these fortifications were half-built, a mysterious warrior came here and wiped out all the elite forces in this place. The Black Handprint was greatly weakened because of this."
Ding Meng was surprised. "There was such a thing?"
The armor continued, "To prevent the Black Handprint from reviving, another expert Red Guest sealed the Fifth Lord and his super warship."
Ding Meng frowned. "The Grassroots Empire?"
This time, it was the armor's turn to be surprised. "I didn't expect you to know about this mysterious person."
Ding Meng smiled bitterly. The Fifth Lord and the Black Handprint were released by Xin Jie. Strangely enough, Julie was also one of the Black Handprint's people. The first strong enemy he encountered at Black Gold Base was Julie. This meant that he had been involved in this matter from the very beginning.
"Now I finally know why the grassroots empire wanted to bestow him."
Ding Meng sighed deeply. "Because the Grassroots Empire already knew that the Black Handprint was involved with the Demons. Although she did not have any combat power, she could still punish the Black Handprint."
The armor stared at him. "Looks like you know more than I do."
Ding Meng said, "You must have known about the Mou Xing civilization at that time."
The armor had a special feature when it spoke. Every time it spoke, it would be silent for a short while. It was probably thinking carefully before it spoke. "Although I knew about this place more than 20 years ago, I didn't know it was the ruins of the Mou Xing civilization. To be exact, it was after you opened the wormhole in space that I slowly learned about the Mou Xing civilization."
Ding Meng said in surprise, "Does it have something to do with me?"
The War Armor nodded: 「 Indeed, this has a lot to do with you. Why did the spore life form appear under the Bramble planet? 」
Ding Meng asked tentatively, "You know?"
Warframe said, "That's not the main issue. My opinion is different from others. Chu Ming Liang from Haitian Group is considered a celebrity. He has lived for more than 200 years. Why would he suddenly appear in the underground world of Planet Thorn instead of staying in the Federation?"
Ding Meng's face darkened. "So you investigated Haitian Group after the incident?"
Warframe said, "It's not that difficult. Dr. Hasin Sinji Bena Yi Martinez once cooperated with Haitian Group. This person used to be a top authority in biology in the Sheng Hao Group. Why didn't he just stay in the Sheng Hao Group? Why did he have to work with a small company like Haitian Group and go to outer space?"
Ding Meng said, "Because he went to the ruins of the Mou Xing civilization?"
Warframe said, "Following this lead, you can find the Black Gold Base on the Dead Silent Planet under the Haitian Group. At the same time, you can also find out that you are from the Black Gold Base. If you want to find out more, you can also find out that you came from the Zeta Tu Star Sector. Combining all the clues, you can find out that you are all looking for something called Shenguang Technology."
Ding Meng's face darkened and didn't answer.
Warframe continued, "There's one thing you didn't guess correctly. Why did the grassroots empire want to seal the Black Handprint? It's not just because they are related to the Demons. If I'm not wrong, it's because they know that if the Demons open the super crystal in the same way, it will alarm the outer space and attract the attention of powerful enemies. It's better for the local people to solve the problems in our star system. People with special abilities like them have a much better perspective than us."
Ding Meng was also silent. Suddenly, he said, "I finally know who you are."
Warframe was surprised. "Oh?
You know me? "
Ding Meng nodded and said, "You are Ling Xingqi, the eldest daughter of the Ling family."
Warframe asked, "How do you know?"
Ding Meng said, "There are four families here. To put it simply, they are the Protoss, the Demons, the Shifters, and the Humans. Now, the Humans have the last laugh, and all the humans here belong to the Starbow Corporation. You must be an upper echelon of the Starbow Corporation to use such a large amount of manpower and resources. However, normal upper echelons don't have access to such core secrets, so you must be an important member of the Ling family."
Warframe didn't say anything. Even through the mask, Ding Meng could feel his face turning cold.
Ding Meng said, "Based on my understanding of the Ling family, you can't be Ling Xingwen."
Warframe asked in a low voice, "Why?"
Ding Meng said, "She doesn't have your strength. Otherwise, she could have killed me directly at the engagement ceremony in the Flying Star City."
Warframe nodded. "That makes sense!"
Ding Meng said, "You can't be the Transit String either. Based on my understanding of Ms. Ling, she doesn't bother to play dirty."
Warframe was interested. "You seem to know her very well!"
Ding Meng said, "Your father, Ling Zhixing, has to manage the huge Starbow Corporation. It's impossible for him to spend more than twenty years researching this energy crystal."
Warframe said, "So I must be Ling Xingqi?"
Ding Meng said, "I heard that Ms. Ling's whereabouts have been uncertain these past few years. She rarely returns to the Federation and is always in outer space. Your characteristics are at least eighty percent similar to hers."
Warframe said, "Actually, who I am is not important."
Ding Meng nodded. "Indeed. I just don't understand one thing. Have you been waiting here for the past twenty-six years?"
Armor let out a rare sigh. "This Shenguang Technology is so profound and complex that even the best data masters and energy masters can't figure it out. It's difficult for them to see the truth behind it. So I'm thinking that maybe only the warriors of Mou Xing can unravel the mystery."
Ding Meng said, "So you've been waiting all this time?"
Warframe said, "Not exactly. I heard that the grassroot empire had unsealed the Fifth Lord, so I knew my chance had come."
Ding Meng said, "Once the Demons find out about the Miao Xing ruins, they'll definitely try to come here."
Warframe said, "Since the Demons have shown themselves, then it's only a matter of time before the Miao Xing warriors find their way here. But if that's the case, then I won't have anything to do with this Shenguang Corporation."
Ding Meng said, "So you thought of a way to lure a powerful Shifter to come here. Let them exhaust each other, and then you'll reap the benefits."
Warframe said, "There's no need to lure them. I've already discovered Leng Yin hiding in Qujing Base many years ago."
Ding Meng sneered. "No wonder you said all of this would happen sooner or later. So you've already predicted this situation many years ago."
Warframe said, "I'm different from you. I used my intelligence, not my martial prowess. The only thing I didn't expect was that the Miao Xing warrior would be you."
Ding Meng said, "Oh?"
Warframe said, "Don't you think this is very interesting?
You suddenly appeared in the Zeratul Star System. Before this, your past was completely blank. It was as if you appeared out of thin air. Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that you're an alien refugee. But after you arrived at the Black Gold Base, you suddenly became a different person. Your cultivation soared. In just two short years, you went from an ordinary person to an Origin Energy Combat Master. "
Ding Meng said, "So you suspect that I've come into contact with Shenguang Corporation?"
Warframe said, "My investigation was led astray. The energy carrier you found at the Black Gold Base was divided into two parts. One of them was in the hands of the Haitian Group, while the other was given to Feng Rufei of the Norse Empire. I took a detour here, and by the time I came back to investigate you a second time, you had already disappeared into a wormhole."
Ding Meng said in a low voice, "Then what about now?"
Warframe said, "Now that I know that this Mou Xing warrior is you, that's enough. At the very least, you're not a member of the Yu Clan."
Ding Meng laughed coldly. "Don't forget that I'm a member of the Sheng Hao Corporation."
Warframe said, "I haven't forgotten. You are indeed Lan Bing's secretary, but neither you nor Lan Bing are core members of the Sheng Hao Corporation. As such, I'm very relieved that the Shenguang Corporation's energy won't fall into the hands of the Sheng Hao Corporation."
Ding Meng sighed again. "I only have one last question. This place is so secretive. Why did you build the Qujing Base with such great fanfare and transport some energy residue back to the Federation? Isn't this the same as deliberately exposing yourself?"
Warframe said, "Forgive me for not being able to answer this question, and you may never know the answer. Of course, my intention is not to kill you."
Ding Meng immediately raised his guard. "Then what do you want?"
Warframe said, "I'm not like other people. When I get something good, I'm always willing to share it with my friends."
Ding Meng laughed coldly. "I'm sorry, but I'm not your friend, and I don't want to have a friend like you."
Warframe seemed to be laughing. "Don't worry. You'll soon be my friend, and you'll be glad to have a friend like me."
Ding Meng said, "What do you want?"
Warframe said, "It's very simple. I want you to open this energy crystal and get the real Shenguang energy inside. Then we can all share this energy. It's a win-win situation."
Ding Meng sighed. "What if I tell you that even I can't open it?"
Warframe said, "You're different. You're a Mou Xing warrior. You must know how to open it."
Ding Meng said, "I've been here for a long time. If I could really open it, I would have done it long ago. I wouldn't have waited until now."
Warframe was silent for a long time before speaking again. "It's fine. A Mou Xing warrior must know how to open it. I have plenty of time. I can wait until you find a way."
Ding Meng sighed. "I don't understand. Why do you insist on taking something that doesn't belong to you?"
The War Armor also seemed to sigh: 「 I also know that sometimes, some things can't be completely resolved through peaceful means 」
At this point, the smell of gunpowder was already very strong. If they couldn't resolve it peacefully, they could only rely on force.
