He then extracted the whereabouts of the bigshot from the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a precautionary measure, Luke didn’t kill the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this guy died, the bigshot would immediately switch to another location. That would waste too much time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bigshot thought that his hiding place was very well-concealed, but he didn’t know that his trusted subordinate knew where it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was because this subordinate was very familiar with Claudia Phoenix, the bigshot’s favorite woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claudia was familiar to many people in the gang, and she had a pretty acerbic manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strange thing was that the bigshot didn’t kill her. Instead, he liked to keep her by his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke appreciated this sort of “passionate” bigshot, who always left behind a bunch of clues for Luke to track.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flying to La Paz through the night, Luke dropped ten experimental robots two hundred meters out over the ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, he stopped taking action himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was using this operation to complete various tests on the robots and to get rid of the cartel remnants at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like now, for example, this was a practical test after the robots were drenched in seawater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, two pure black robots emerged from the ocean. Then, they split up and surrounded a villa on the beach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, shouts, gunshots, and screams rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke sat down on a nearby rock with a big helmet on his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a portable remote control terminal and had an operation platform, similar to the virtual helmet from his previous life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It only took two remote-controlled robots 30 seconds to enter the center of the villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The robot in the lead broke the lock with a few gunshots and opened the basement door. The two robots walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The basement wasn’t big. The cartel bigshot who had escaped the net had a pale face as he looked at the robot that walked in. “Who are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The robots didn’t say anything. One of them stepped forward and grabbed the bigshot by the neck before walking out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black lenses of the other robot scanned the room with a red light as it started to examine the room for possible “treasure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When bigshots like these fled, they would definitely take hundreds of millions of dollars with them to cover their and their bodyguards’ expenses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the ground under the feet of the two robots rumbled and suddenly collapsed, burying them instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke immediately frowned. This could be a test for the robots, but the first robot still had that bigshot with it; it would be a shame if the bigshot just died like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Luke was stumped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, there was a problem with the two remote-controlled robots; in just a few seconds, their limbs were completely damaged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke could sense that their joints had been crushed by a huge force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enveloped in soil and concrete, the robots hadn’t detected any attackers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought, two more robots emerged from the ocean and approached the villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the third and fourth robots dug out the first two robots that were buried in the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, several long shadows crawled out of the cracks in the rubble and quickly wrapped around the robots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke’s expression changed, and he stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sand at his feet suddenly rolled up before dropping down on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than five seconds, Luke was enveloped in yellow sand. The sand quickly hardened, turning him into a stone statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A graceful figure walked out of the villa, a slender dark green vine stretching out from one hand with the third and fourth robots trussed up on the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragging them to the seaside, she stood in front of the stone statue that Luke’s clone had turned into and frowned. “Just one person?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A low male voice rang out from the stone statue: “He’s the only living person in a range of several hundred meters. The two buried in the villa and the two you’re holding are robots.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing in front of the clone was a woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was 25 or 26 years old. She had fair skin and was of medium height. When the night wind blew, the white silk shift clung to her; she was only wearing a bikini underneath, revealing her exceptionally lush curves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her long, curly black hair fluttered in the wind and her purple lips were inexplicably enticing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, she was staring at the smiling mask that the clone was wearing. “This should be Smiley Face V; the Continental Hotel has a record on him. Hm, but the information said that he always wears a wide-brimmed hat. Why is he wearing a helmet? Move and expose his chest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re the boss. You have the final say.” The stone statue made a muffled sound, and the stone over the clone’s chest turned into sand and moved to the side to reveal the V suit underneath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman stretched out her hand, and a thin, sharp black vine grew out of the tip of her finger to drill into the suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching via the drone in the sky, Luke was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This woman was none other than Claudia Phoenix, the cartel bigshot’s favorite woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the virtual screen, the damage to the suit was increasing. There was a rapidly flashing red dot on the chest, which indicated that the black vine was about to break through the armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke hadn’t expected Claudia’s super ability to be so destructive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, however, this woman wasn’t important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The important thing was the other entity which could switch freely between sand and stone, and which could attach itself to the clone and turn into a solid stone cage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke had already tried, but his inventory couldn’t store this stone cage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This stone layer had its own consciousness; it was a superhuman who controlled sand and stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the guy was on guard, he might run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given his ability to switch between sand and stone, it would be easy for the man to escape, but Luke didn’t want to kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind whirled and he didn’t hurry to take action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tiny black vine broke through the suit in ten seconds and pierced Luke’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claudia relaxed and abruptly felt that this would be another smooth operation. She said casually, “Okay, you can let him go, Hodge. Just watch the show.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay,” the man said in a low voice.. The stone turned into sand and slid off Luke, before it flowed five meters away and took a human form.\u003C\u002Fp>",1259,"2026-06-06T03:36:25.206Z",1,"novelbin.me","f4da3bbaa957e2d45e745edbbfa1b66acd469db88fbee5e760970dc85592ce01","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-1493","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-1491",2233,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-detective-in-the-fictional-world-cover.jpg"]
