This Is Really Not Mechanical Ascension Chapter 127

[ … words ]

He snorted coldly, and the co-pilot’s seat cushion flipped open, sending a pair of sturdy shackles flying toward him.

“Genetic inhibitors shackles, put them on.”

Li Ming knew what they were; Qin Xiao had been taken away using something similar, capable of suppressing the gene seed within a life form.

Li Ming took them without hesitation.

[Genetic Inhibitors Shackles–Grade E: A tool specifically used to contain gene vitality.

Control Conditions: 500 points of metal energy

Control Effect: Power Amplification–20%

Control Ability–Suppression: Suppresses the gene vitality of Grade E life forms]

With the shackles clicked around his wrists, the inhibitor opened up from both sides, extending mechanical components that covered both of Li Ming’s palms, eventually locking them together.

Along with a burst of pain, Li Ming felt significantly weakened.

“Very well, it looks like we’ve established some basic consensus.” Although Li Ming had taken some initiative just now, he was now reduced to a prisoner; Zhang Yong’s lips curled up.

“The hovercar’s trajectory should be detectable at the lab. Be careful,” Li Ming kindly suggested.

Zhang Yong sneered, “Don’t get your hopes up. We used simulated signal transmission, slowed down the speed, and created a time lag of about twenty minutes.”

“By the time the lab realizes something’s wrong, we’ll be long gone.”

“Oh,” Li Ming mused, “So who are your enemies? Old Wu’s, or mine? I probably don’t have the means to cover you guys against such enemies, although, it’s also possible that Star Creation Company is quite fed up with me right now.”

Zhang Yong’s brows furrowed as he looked at Li Ming, who was neither flustered nor tense, and he didn’t feel pleased.

“Shut up!” he snapped.

Three to four minutes later, the hovercar slowly stopped and entered an underground parking garage. A burly man wearing sunglasses was waiting there, and he quickly ushered Li Ming into the elevator.

Glancing at the surveillance camera in the top right corner, Zhang Yong, who had already twisted his neck to look, said, “Don’t worry, all the surveillance cameras in this building have been hacked.”

“That’s good,” Li Ming nodded.

At the sixteenth floor, he was pushed out of the elevator and into a room with three people, two men and one woman.

One of them was thin, with prominent cheekbones and sunken eyes, and he exuded a life force that made Li Ming feel slightly alarmed—a Grade D life form.

Thump—Zhang Yong, who had been standing by his side, suddenly collapsed to the ground, as if he had lost all support, while the woman who had been sitting unresponsive in the chair, suddenly stood up.

“So it was you controlling him, Superpower User?” Li Ming was surprised.

The woman in red, heavily made up, sauntered over with a seductive smile, “This was much easier than I thought. Wu Yanqing really isn’t up to the task anymore.”

“Are you sent by Luo Chuan?” Li Ming suddenly asked, then shook his head, “No.”

The fleeting look of confusion on the faces of the others did not escape his notice.

“You have a sharp mind, still calm even now.” The woman’s smile faded; Li Ming’s composure indicated that in their minds, this group posed no real threat to him.

“Don’t waste time, let’s begin.” The thin man frowned, pulled Li Ming over to a chair, and strapped on another set of electromagnetic locks.

“What are you going to do?” Panic finally flashed across Li Ming’s face as he calculated internally.

With his control over objects, he could still resist a Grade D life form to some extent.

However, this Superpower User seemed rather peculiar, able to control other people’s bodies and wield intangible forces.

According to Professor Wu, Superpower Users couldn’t evolve genetically alongside their powers.

Besides their physical superpower, before reaching a certain level, their physical prowess wasn’t impressive.
