This is not mechanical ascension.

Cornit's anger could no longer be contained. From being ambushed, to coming back, he received bad news one after another, and even the five stolen dimensional crystals completely ignited him.

Every dimensional crystal is a precious treasure of their organization, of extraordinary value, and it is also a weapon.

Now, five coins were stolen at once, how could he calm down.

Pierre's face turned pale, and he was forced to retreat by the aura erupting from Cornit's body. He was also shocked, but for some reason, he felt relieved.

Even the dimensional crystal was stolen?

Then the problem with the main gun doesn't seem to be too big.

It's not a question of value, but the difference in security levels between the two.

Ted, who was standing aside, broke into a cold sweat. After a brief shock, he could not stop being frightened.

Among the Torch Organization bases, he is the only one who frequently enters and exits the warehouse where dimensional crystals are stored.

It was like three main guns had been subcontracted, and it was definitely Pierre and the others who were under suspicion.

"All the dimension crystals have been stolen." Fernand's face was ashen, and he was ashamed again.

He was not sure when these things were stolen. If they were stolen after he transferred Deyes to the main base, then he would be guilty.

"The main base that we are so proud of is almost turning into a sieve." Corvis sneered, "Even the power of the Sustainability Realm can't stop him. It's really chilling."

Konite calmed down and seemed to have calmed down, but anyone with a discerning eye could see the raging anger underneath his gloomy cheeks.

His eyes swept across Ted, but he didn't say much, and said in a deep voice: "Kevis, come and search the memories of Zog and Hector."

Zog and Zog were pale and trembling. They had heard of the tragic situation after their memories were searched in the past.

Nervous tissue is damaged, brain cells are necrotic in large areas, leading to hemiplegia, lower limb paralysis, and other sequelae...

"Me?" Corvis frowned, "Do you still need me to take action? Leia should still be within the organization, right?"

Searching memories is a delicate job. The brain structure of a living being is extremely complex. A slight inadvertence may cause a chain reaction. Before the memory is searched, the person is already dead.

Kovis's injuries have not yet healed, and he does not want to do this strenuous work.

"First... leader." Zog said bravely: "We are the ones directly responsible. If something goes wrong, we should be responsible."

"But we are just ordinary staff and can only follow the established testing procedures. If finding out the truth has nothing to do with us, then we..."

Dedicating oneself to the organization is one of the tenets of the Torch. Zog obviously does not have this consciousness, but Cornit did not use such pretentious words to suppress him, and just said coldly:

"Don't worry, Corvis took action himself. He is an A-level life form, and his control over the power of the soul is beyond imagination. You two are not even C-level life forms. As long as he controls it better, there will be no sequelae. ”

When Zog heard this, he was shocked, and even Pierre looked at Cornit with a complicated expression.

After such a big thing happened, even if the leader directly executed Zog and the two of them, it wouldn't be a big deal.

But unfortunately, the leader could still consider the possibility that Zog and the others were innocent.

He couldn't help but feel the urge to tell everything, but in the end he had reason to stop it.

"Chief..." Zog was also stunned, his eyes were dazed, then turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Come on, this is the only way to prove my innocence."

"Tsk..." Kovis sneered inexplicably, but under the gaze of Cornit's gloomy eyes, he still shrugged and walked to Zog.

The palm of his hand was placed on his forehead, and then Covis's eyes moved, and a picture was reflected, and the pictures in it were flowing rapidly.

Zog rolled his eyes and his whole body was trembling. Purple energy vaguely gathered around him, causing ripples like a tidal wave.

But under the purple crystal that Fernand took out, it gradually dissipated. Balzacs seemed to hate psychic powers extremely.

"Kevis!" Cornet shouted.

Although there was no movement, the flow of the picture slowed down significantly, and Zog's twitching gradually stopped.

"...After hearing the snap, you have completed the detection of the Sun Split Star..."

"...Isn't it normal for Sunburst to have this kind of problem..."

The picture shook and kept moving, and all that came out was the processed sound.

Everyone's eyes were strange, their brows were furrowed, and Pierre's throat was throbbing.

Because on the screen, Zog obeys the voiceover's orders.

Apparently, he was really betrayed.

"Interesting..." Kevis suddenly spoke, "What kind of method is this to make this guy really think that he has completed the test."

"It's not the power of the mind, it seems..."

Kovis didn't finish his words, but everyone's eyes were slightly confused.

Cornette was puzzled, "What do you mean? They didn't betray?"

"No, or in their own perception, there is no." Corvis shook his head, and then the picture changed, and finally a silver-white mechanical watch appeared.

Keep flashing.

"It's actually... hypnosis?" Kovis said in a surprised tone, "What a big surprise."

Pierre looked at the silver pocket watch flashing across the screen, and for some reason his expression was a little dazed.

Ted's mind moved slightly, staring at the pocket watch, and suddenly said: "I remembered that we did find such a pocket watch when we searched Deyes' room."

He reacted quickly and asked someone to get it. Kovis had already put down Zog and came to Hector's side.

And soon, Kovis retracted his palm and said solemnly: "It's almost exactly the same as Zog's situation."

Zog and Zog collapsed on the ground, twitching from time to time.

"They were exploited and planted psychological suggestions through hypnosis." Corvis explained: "They thought they had completed the test of the main gun."

"From this aspect, it can be inferred that these three main guns were replaced a long time ago."

"Hypnosis?" Cornette frowned: "Can it reach this level?"

"I'm also surprised. Logically speaking, this kind of psychological hypnosis can only be used against ordinary life forms. Life forms with a slightly firmer mind can resist it, let alone genetically evolved forms." Kovis was also puzzled.

Pierre had come to his senses, listening to Kovis's words, his expression was uncertain.

"This is it." Ted took a metal box from his men, opened it, and took out a silver-white delicate mechanical pocket watch.

"Let me take a look..." Covis took it and looked at the mechanical pocket watch in detail, staring at its hands, scales, and even the outer shell, his face becoming more and more surprised.

"It's incredible...how did he do it? This thing...is so..." Kovis couldn't find the words to describe it for a while.

He randomly pulled over a soldier, asked him to take off his helmet, and waved the pocket watch in front of his eyes. After only two or three times, the soldier fell into a trance and confusion.

"What's your name?"

"Battle..." the other party responded numbly.

Fernand was surprised, "Can you control a person with just two shakes?"

"It's not surprising to control a person. The power of the mind can do this easily. The real function of this thing is just to hide." Kovis sighed:

"It's really amazing. It would have been impossible to create it if there were less than ten hypnosis masters involved in its production."

He even felt that it should be impossible to create such a thing.

Because the essence of hypnosis is to put people into a special state that is extremely easy to control. The triggers for everyone to fall into this state are different, and there is no unified standard.

"Besides, it's not that effective." As he said that, Covis took the thing and waved it in front of Pierre's eyes, but it had no effect.

Fernand speculated: "Deyes probably used this method to control the bottom level to obtain a large amount of fragmented information and then peel it off."

"It's really scary that the other party can come and go freely here."

Cornette remained silent, and then ordered: "Pierre..."

When there was no response to the first call, Cornette increased his tone: "Pierre!"

"Yes!" Pierre was excited and responded hurriedly, his voice sounding vague.

Cornette didn't pursue it, and just ordered: "Check where Deyes was during the time when the sound appeared in the picture."

After a pause, he added: "There are also everyone else's timelines."

"Are you still doubtful?" Kovis couldn't help but look at it.

"It's not doubt, it's certainty." Cornit shook his head, "If it's really him, everything will be right."

"Isn't there Brot? This guy stays in his room all day long. He has too much time." Kovis added.

"Brote..." Cornett said silently, "Brote shouldn't have this ability to remain invisible."

Kovis had a different opinion: "You can't just look at the appearance. Among them, Theo is the most proficient in concealment."

Cornette frowned. It was not that he was seriously ill, but the loss was too great and too strange. He wanted to investigate thoroughly without leaving any doubts.

"The most important thing is how he disappeared. This is the coverage area of ​​the Eternal World..." He murmured.

"Chief..." Pier suddenly spoke, lowering his head and speaking carefully to avoid seeing the blood seeping from his bitten tongue, "You, you may have fallen into a thinking trap."

"Deyes's ability to leave may not be due to his own strength."

"Huh?" Cornette looked over, and Pierre explained awkwardly: "Others may also obtain strange powers by sacrificing dimensional creatures."

"Dimensional creatures!" Cornette's eyes brightened. Yes, this is indeed a possibility.

Sacrifice of dimensional creatures is not their patent. They have only used this method accidentally and are still exploring it.

"Powers from other dimensions will cause a strong reaction from Balzacs." Fernand disagreed.

"What if you are good at hiding?" Pierre whispered.

Fernand stopped talking. The dimensional creatures are all kinds of weird and have all kinds of abilities, which are incredible and beyond imagination.

"There is indeed such a possibility." Cornit nodded, finally feeling a little comforted.

Peele is quite good. Whether it is deciphering the code or having a sudden thought and thinking about the problem from another angle, he provides ideas to break the situation.

"Deyes's whereabouts are unknown, and it is impossible to determine whether the base coordinates have been leaked. In any case, we must conduct a temporary evacuation."

Cornette let out a long breath, suppressing the pain and helplessness in his heart.

The lack of three main ship-level turrets can be said to have disrupted a considerable part of their plans.

After the formation of a fleet with three main ships as the core, although it is still impossible to compete head-on with the combined fleet, it can still play the role of surprise troops at certain times.

No matter how bad it is, pure self-destruction interception can delay a lot of time.

But now, the main attack method is gone, and the threat is greatly reduced.

"Leave the base?" Fernand didn't expect Cornette to be so decisive, and couldn't help but said: "If Deyes really knows the coordinates of the base, then Asmara won't ambush you."

"I understand, but I have to be on guard." Cornett's attitude was very firm, "Besides, there is only one month left before the tidal period of the Red River Star Current, so it's time to wait there."

"If we want to evacuate here, we won't have the means to suppress those A-level life forms." Corvis reminded.

Cornette said nothing and turned to ask Fernand: "Do they know about Deyes' situation?"

Fernand shook his head: "I don't know the specific situation, but Deyes hasn't been to the core laboratory for a long time, so they can more or less guess that something went wrong."

"It's okay if you don't know the specific situation. Go try them." Cornit's face turned cold, and the figures of several people passed in front of his eyes, but it was still difficult to freeze them.

"I've wanted to take action against them for a long time." Kovis opened his mouth.

………

In the core laboratory, the remaining three major mechanics were present. Benny looked quite worried, looking at the red exclamation mark that popped up on the screen.

He sighed, took down the red energy crystal, and whispered:

"Wrong again, the coefficient is wrong, and it cannot bear the diverted energy spectrum."

"What on earth did Deyes do? He hasn't come to the core laboratory for so long, and the Torch Organization is also vague and unsure."

"The overall manufacturing progress is close to 80%. This is the last core node. As long as the energy focusing crystal coefficient and particle actuator are solved, the sublimator can be completed soon."

Since Deyes stopped coming, their production progress has declined visibly.

Jessiah's face was cold: "Only the last thing is left. Can't we three great mechanics still solve it? It can't be said that without Deyes, we can't do anything, right?"

"That's not what I meant. The whole thing is almost done. Only the finishing touches are left. We can indeed grind it out, but it will take too long." Benny sighed repeatedly:

"I estimate that it will be difficult to complete within half a year."

After that, he looked at Li Ming, who was working with his head down, and said a few more words, "Your Excellency Qinglong, at this time, you should stop hiding your secrets. If you have any conditions, ask the Torch Organization directly."

"What do you mean?" Li Ming looked up, slightly surprised, "Why do you make it seem like I have a solution?"

"Don't you?"

"Did I?"

Benny looked even more helpless, as if he wanted to expose something but couldn't say it.
