Chapter 314: Trading with the Transformers
“Because the three of you have autonomous authority, passing the message to the outside world did not trigger any warning measures,” Josh explained.
All three are A-level life forms and have the highest authority in the fleet.
Even the forces behind the three are different, so they have the autonomy to communicate with the outside world without being intercepted.
After hanging up the call, the three of them looked at each other.
Could the three be traitors? If it was just Jorge, Donovan would have taken him down without hesitation.
Even with Gongora added to the mix, he would still be a little suspicious.
But the suspect has also been locked on himself, so Donovan can now say with certainty that none of the three of them can be the traitor.
But the problem is, Donovan thought carefully and realized that he did not operate the smart terminal to send any information at that time.
"Hand over all the smart terminals..." Donovan ordered.
Jorge and Gongora did not hesitate, they understood that someone must be behind this.
In all likelihood, their smart terminals have been hacked.
Three smart terminals of different styles are placed on the table: a wristwatch, glasses, and a pocket watch... The three styles represent the personalities of the three people.
The smooth outer shell reflects the metallic luster. Portable smart devices of their level are all encrypted layer by layer. It is impossible to crack them in a short time.
Donovan carefully observed the three smart terminals. Could they be monitoring devices?
He took out a pocket watch-style smart terminal and put it in his hand. Without any hesitation, he clenched his fist and electric arcs and sparks flew.
This smart terminal was directly destroyed by him. Gongora's mouth twitched slightly. This smart terminal in the style of an old pocket watch was exactly his.
However, his expression changed slightly and he looked a little surprised and doubtful, because he actually heard a faint wailing sound from Donovan's palm.
"Did you hear that?" he asked Jorge. As an A-level life form, his hearing should not be wrong.
But this kind of thing was still a little too unbelievable, so he wondered if he had heard it wrong.
"I heard it too. Your smart terminal seemed to be screaming." Jorge nodded, then hesitated and said, "Is the emotion module you loaded so smart? It will wail when it is destroyed?"
Gongora was speechless, "How could I possibly load the emotion module?"
At this moment, Donovan spread out his palms, and the eyes of the three people focused on him at the same time, and then they all showed expressions of confusion and shock.
In Donovan's palm, the pocket watch-style smart terminal had been completely destroyed, but it was different from what he had imagined, with the fragments breaking into pieces.
This smart terminal actually broke into multiple human-like limbs.
Even though the three of them were not too familiar with technology, they knew that the structure in smart terminals was not like this at all.
Donovan pulled apart the limb fragments and picked out a mechanical head the size of a fingernail, which was almost indistinguishable from an interstellar human.
The only difference is that now there are sparks flying.
"What on earth is this?" Gongora asked in shock, "Why has my smart terminal become like this?"
Donovan frowned. If his guess was correct, this was the thing that leaked the information.
Then he looked at the other smart terminals on the table. Jorge understood and picked up his smart terminal that looked like glasses.
It was torn apart directly from the middle, and this time the wailing sound was clearer. The two legs of the glasses flipped over, exposing the mechanical structure, and they actually formed half of a body each.
"Fuck..." Jorge was also shocked. When did his smart terminal become like this?
He lifted up the two halves of the mechanical body and examined them carefully.
"Pooh!"
A mouthful of greasy spit suddenly hit Jorge's face, and the upper half of the mechanical head cursed angrily: "What are you looking at, damn bastard, you killed us, and the great Creator will avenge us sooner or later!"
Jorge wiped the greasy phlegm off his face, his expression stiff, and he crushed the mechanical body into pieces.
He was spat at by his own smart terminal. Who would believe such words?
"You are too reckless." Gongora shook his head: "We need to know more information, who his creator is, this is the most important thing."
However, two of the three smart terminals have been destroyed, leaving only Donovan's own smart terminal.
Donovan picked up his big watch. The golden case gave him a nouveau riche look.
Perhaps knowing that it had no need to hide any longer, the watch quickly split in the middle and quickly transformed into a mechanical body about ten centimeters high.
"Donovan..." It called Donovan's name directly: "Don't even think about getting any information from me."
"There is one thing my two companions did not tell you, that is, all the secrets you have hidden in the smart terminal have been passed on."
The three people's pupils suddenly contracted, Donovan's face turned ashen, and he actually pinched the mechanical body into a metal ball.
Smart terminals do not know all their secrets, but they cover 70 to 80 percent.
For example, web browsing history, most chat history, and shopping history...these are just the basics.
It would undoubtedly be the worst news if the enemy knew this secret.
Jorge and Gongora looked at each other and realized... now the last clue is gone.
Donovan said in a quiet tone: "Don't speculate too much, just work backwards from the result. The news must have been passed to Li Yu, so he is the creator of these mechanical life forms."
He didn't care about the twists and turns. He only knew that in the end it was Li Yu who killed the Sleeper , so Li Yu was the Creator.
"But what exactly is this method?" Jorge couldn't help but ask, "We only fought him for less than an hour before."
"In just one hour, he turned all our smart terminals into this kind of creature?"
This method is so shocking that for many people, smart terminals are their second selves, hiding their dark side.
Although there are interstellar hackers who can hack into smart terminals through network means, their methods are far less amazing than Li Yu's.
"Now I understand why the Loren family offered such a high price for him." Donovan looked at the mechanical fragments on the ground with deep eyes.
Although they found the source of the information leak, everyone was not happy because the information was indeed leaked from them.
If they reported this to the Star Empire, they would certainly be severely reprimanded, after all, they were the ones who caused the death of the Sleeper.
"The mission item obtained by the Sleeper has fallen into Li Yu's hands." Donovan guessed.
Gongora sighed, "This is troublesome. How are we going to explain it when we go back?"
"Go back?" Donovan looked at Gongora and grinned, "What for? Go back? To be blamed and punished?"
"Now the facts are in front of us. Li Yu is the most valuable thing. As long as we can capture him, everything will be made up."
Jorge and Gongora were both shocked that Donovan had not given up on Li Yu.
"But...what should we do?" Jorge was a little confused.
Donovan did not answer, but asked the two to collect the mechanical fragments on the ground and hand them over to the Star Empire for research.
…
At the same time, Li Yu also learned from the small quarrel that there were no more messages coming from Donovan and the other two's smart terminals.
It was most likely that Donovan had discovered it, but Li Yu was not surprised by this.
The three of them are not stupid. If the sleeper's location is leaked, they will definitely check themselves.
"You guys are not planning to harm me now, are you..." Li Yu thought to himself. The Sleeper they relied on has been killed.
Could it be that Donovan hasn't given up yet?
He was in the hotel that Barlotte used to entertain external guests, and there was no specific rule on how to deal with him.
The force guarding him was very weak, almost non-existent.
"I didn't expect that this sad guy like Das would speak so arrogantly..."
Although Donovan's smart terminal was destroyed, Das and Soli's smart terminals still transmitted messages to him, allowing him to control the overall situation without making any noise.
He also knew from the confrontation in the banquet hall that the saying "a weak country has no diplomacy" was fully reflected in this matter.
The communication between the upper levels was still going on. Das had already reported the matter to Guixing Headquarters, and the reply he received was not beyond his expectations.
No matter what Li Yu did, only Guixing could punish him.
As for the Barot civilization, just go play with it.
The Barot civilization had no choice but to turn a blind eye and let the matter go.
But who made the dead person a sleeper, an A-level life form of the Star Empire.
Donovan contacted the Barlotte Civilization as soon as possible and asked them to give an explanation on this matter.
If they just let Li Yu go like that, they would not be able to justify themselves to the Star Empire.
In fact, Li Yu was not detained or under house arrest. Barlot Civilization even hoped that he could leave on his own.
This way they can give an explanation to the Xingyao Empire. They can simply say that Li Yu resisted arrest with force and they had no way to stop him.
But the problem is that Li Yu just stays in the room obediently and never goes out.
In such a strange atmosphere, ten days passed quickly.
In the room, the light of the stars shines through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows onto the empty bed, and the soft Miss Hand-animal plush carpet is exquisite and luxurious.
Li Yu sat on the sofa. The holographic screen in front of him was pitch black, but a clear voice could be heard.
"Mr. Li Yu, I have long heard of your great name. Today we finally have the opportunity to talk." The voice was a processed mechanical sound, and it was impossible to confirm whether the other party was a big man who picked his toes or a crying monster.
"You guys do n't seem to be sincere. It's obviously a video call, but you still have a black screen and use a voice changer." Li Yu's posture was lazy and his tone was casual: "Can I still use the network cable to hit you?"
"You are joking, sir. You also know that we are not welcome. We are just being cautious." He hesitated for a moment, then said, "But being honest is indeed the prerequisite for a deal."
Then, the screen gradually became clear, and in front of Li Yu appeared a seemingly ordinary middle-aged interstellar human.
He is so ordinary that if you throw him into a crowd, you can hardly find him.
"You can call me Husband."
He has a very attractive voice, wears a plaid shirt, and is a little bald, like one of the billions of office workers in the interstellar society.
With a warm smile on his face, people can't help but feel good about him from the bottom of their hearts.
Li Yu looked at the other person and didn't take it too seriously. He just mentioned it casually.
Whether the other party reveals his true identity or not has nothing to do with how much benefit he can get.
"Moir should have told you the basic situation. I'm too lazy to waste time talking. Just make an offer." Li Yu went straight to the point. He just wanted the Kerry siblings to make the best use of their resources.
I really didn't expect to get much benefit from the reformers.
The father of the Kerry siblings is dead, so you redeemed them because of our past friendship.
If it costs too much, I'm afraid they won't allow it internally.
"I wonder what Mr. Li Yu thinks of us reformers?" The middle-aged man did not answer Li Yu's question, but asked instead.
"What do you think?" Li Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Probably... it's none of my business."
The middle-aged man's face froze slightly, obviously he didn't expect this answer.
Li Yu indeed had this idea in his heart. Although the Reformers were stirring up trouble in the interstellar society, they generally had no conflicts of interest with him.
Of course it's none of his business...
"I don't want to comment on your ideas unless you are willing to let me be the leader." Li Yu shrugged.
The middle-aged man took a deep breath and said, "You really dare to think so." However, he also saw that Li Yu was indeed too lazy to care about their trivial matters.
Then, he suppressed his talent collection habit, said no more, and said: "Your growth history is amazing, but before Tianhuang Star, your information is almost non-existent."
"Many forces in interstellar society are very curious about this question."
Li Yu's eyes moved slightly, as if he had guessed what the other party was going to say.
"We the Reformers are prepared to use your previous information in exchange for Krekrekre."
As Li Yu expected, it was indeed the information of his predecessor.
To be honest, he didn't care about what his previous identity was, but now because of that identity, he had a lot of trouble.
"Do you know?" Li Yu asked tentatively.
"We don't know, but we found some clues. Because they were not of much value, we didn't continue the investigation." Husband said frankly.
After pondering for a moment, Li Yu uttered a name: "Loren Family?"
Hasband's face changed slightly, obviously he didn't expect Li Yu to say this name.
"You know?"
Li Yu couldn't help but smile a little, and said nonchalantly: "It seems that your information is not very attractive."
"But you probably only know a name." Hasband also reacted and asked tentatively.
Li Yu did not comment and continued: "I need to know one more thing. These two things together can be exchanged for Kerry and Kerry."
Hasband frowned slightly. It was obvious that Li Yu's request was a little unexpected. But it was precisely because Li Yu mentioned the Loren family that the price of the Reformer was reduced a lot.
After thinking it over again and again, he said cautiously: "I want to know, what do you want to know?"
Li Yu spoke calmly and slowly, "What was the cause of the battle that happened in the Barot Civilization - the Salvetan Galaxy not long ago?"
