Chapter 578

"The [Man in the Mirror], Luonan?"

Li Ang subconsciously repeated the name.

Undoubtedly, any professional who can have a title won't be weak, let alone the fact that the other party is in a high-risk industry like intelligence dealing.

Old Wu nodded and then began to introduce the detailed information about this intelligence dealer: "This guy is a sixth-level professional. His race should be considered a Mirror Demon? I don't know if there's such a classification, but anyway, according to rumors, he was born from the heart of a certain seventh-level demon and eventually found a way to break away from the main body and become an independent existence."

"..."

A guy like this sounds very difficult to deal with, and there's a high probability that it will involve a terrifying seventh-level existence.

Thinking this, Li Ang sighed silently in his heart and then said: "No time like the present, let's set off immediately."

Fortunately, they were only going to gather information, so they shouldn't end up in a conflict with the other party.

What's more, there was no better choice for the time being, so it would be better to go and investigate the situation first, and then look for other ways if no useful information was found.

During the conversation, Li Ang stood up: "Let's take my starship; it's faster."

Under the effect of his current energy attribute of 304,967.5, the [Earth Devourer] could reach a terrifying speed, which was the main reason he said that.

However, upon hearing Li Ang's words, Old Wu waved his hands repeatedly: "Your starship is far too conspicuous; let's take ours."

If he hadn't seen the [Earth Devourer], it would be one thing, but it was precisely because he had seen it that he couldn't agree.

After all, what kind of agent drives a massive transport ship when conducting a secret operation!?

Although, to some extent, this could also be considered a decent disguise.

Learning that Old Wu had already made preparations in advance, Li Ang naturally couldn't argue with him over such trivial details.

It was just that when he saw the starship that this senior engineer claimed wasn't so conspicuous, the corner of his eye couldn't help but twitch.

Looking at the dilapidated starship before him that was almost falling apart, Li Ang hesitated for a moment before asking: "Are you sure this isn't conspicuous?"

"Isn't this pretty good?" Old Wu scratched his head, then seemed to realize something and explained, "Those star pirates are different from us big corporate employees; calling them poor ghosts is giving them too much credit."

"With my starship, it could even be considered a luxury vehicle where they are."

Hearing this, Li Ang fell into silence for a moment.

Is it that exaggerated?

It was clear that the starships under Octavio's command all looked quite normal.

However, he quickly realized that things couldn't be calculated that way; after all, this [Undefeated Knight] could barely be considered a white glove for the Empire, and he had likely received a lot of funding in secret.

Thinking of this, Li Ang stopped dwelling on this matter and took Elise and Sophia into this "luxury starship."

It was just that, unlike its dilapidated exterior, the interior of the starship, while not luxurious, couldn't be called bad either; at the very least, it looked like a place where people could stay.

As Old Wu opened the control system, the starship suddenly shook, then slowly flew out of the starport.

Seeing this, a gratified smile couldn't help but appear on the senior engineer's face: "As long as it can move, it's fine."

Although he didn't know how it started moving either.

Li Ang fell into silence for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Pan Mingrui beside him, only to find that the other party already had an expression of being accustomed to it.

'So are all engineers at Titan Heavy Industries this unreliable?'

For some reason, Old Wu always reminded him of those programmers before he transmigrated.

And programmers have two major problems, which are...

How on earth is this running?!

Why isn't this running!?

Two days later, under Old Wu's superb driving skills, the "Inconspicuous" finally arrived at the [Demon Desire Grand Casino].

As the starship finished docking, several figures immediately surrounded the ship's entrance.

"Boss, boss, staying at the inn? Gentle cat-girls, seductive succubi... we have everything you want in our shop, and the prices are fair; you will definitely be satisfied."

"Boss, does the starship need repairs? Our repair shop is currently having a promotion..."

Looking at the service staff chattering around him, Old Wu hurriedly stopped them: "Stop, stop, stop, do we look like we have money?"

Hearing this, the service staff began to size up this group of people.

A sleazy middle-aged man in ragged clothes, a half-human, half-machine with inferior prosthetic modifications, an ordinary person, a starving ghost reincarnated, a rainbow-haired woman exuding a damp and gloomy aura...

After seeing the appearance of Li Ang's group clearly, the waiters immediately scattered like birds and beasts.

However, it was at this moment that Old Wu called out to the starship repair shop employee: "Give me the cheapest ship-washing package your shop has."

Hearing this, a trace of disdain flashed in the repair shop employee's eyes, and then he said in a business-like manner: "Thank you for your patronage, 2,000 credit points."

"It's gone." Old Wu displayed a look of heartache at just the right moment, then asked as if unintentionally: "Speaking of which, has the casino received any big goods recently? I heard that Titan Heavy Industries and Aeon Logistics had a batch of goods hijacked."

"Do you think it's possible for me to know about such things?"

The repair shop employee rolled his eyes, then ignored the sloppy middle-aged man and turned to leave.

After watching the other party disappear from sight, Old Wu immediately put away his previous commoner-like appearance, scratched his cheek, and said: "It seems that group is hiding very deeply; they haven't let out a single whisper."

During the conversation, he scanned his companions who were disguised as small-fry, and a look of approval appeared on his face: "Good acting."

Originally, Old Wu had been worried that these three dragons from Aeon Logistics would resist his arrangements, but he hadn't expected them to be unexpectedly cooperative.

Facing his praise, Li Ang shook his head slightly, then asked: "Where should we go next to find that [Man in the Mirror]?"

It must be said that the [Demon Desire Grand Casino] is worthy of being the largest place for fencing stolen goods in this star sector; just from what he had detected so far, there were already several sixth-level professionals.

"I've already found out; it's very simple to find that [Man in the Mirror]. You just need to shout 'Lord Luonan, please help me!' in any place with a mirror on this planet." Pan Mingrui answered casually while using his prosthetic eye to observe the crowds in the starport, "However, if you want to obtain information from him, you need to complete a task for him, and the difficulty will be adjusted according to the rarity of the information."

"Then what if he doesn't have any tasks that need completing?"

"Some people sell information to the [Man in the Mirror] and use that to ask others to do something for them."

"So that's how it is."

Hearing this, a trace of understanding flashed in Li Ang's eyes; isn't this just a middleman?

After figuring out how to find the [Man in the Mirror], Li Ang's group immediately left the starport.

Although mirrors are everywhere, they still needed to find a secret place.

After checking into a hotel at the high price of 5,000 credit points, the five of them immediately began to set up the hotel room.

Space concealment device, Daluo Cave Observation, barrier...

It didn't take too long for this small room to be turned into an airtight cage.

Looking at the smooth and bright mirror before him, Li Ang asked: "Who's going?"

"I'll go."

Pan Mingrui stepped forward and began to cosplay as the master of the washroom.

It's just that, unlike that person, his line was only one sentence.

"Lord Luonan, please help me!"

As his voice fell, a vortex suddenly appeared on the mirror surface.

Immediately the next moment, five figures suddenly appeared in the eyes of Li Ang and the others.

Looking at the phantom images in the mirror that were identical to themselves, the five couldn't help but narrow their eyes slightly.

Man in the Mirror, Man in the Mirror... so that's what it means.

After a brief silence, a voice with male and female tones overlapping came from the mirror: "It's rare to have so many people summoning me at the same time."

"Let me see..."

"Human, cyborg, dragon, dragon, and..."

During the conversation, the gazes of the five phantom images swept over Old Wu and the others one by one, until finally landing on Li Ang.

Looking at the youth with a normal expression, a trace of confusion couldn't help but appear on the faces of the phantom images.

After a while, they asked in unison: "Uh... if you can tell me what kind of creature you are, then I can give you a piece of information for free."

"?"

There's such a good thing?

Old Wu and the others immediately looked at Li Ang, while Elise was drooling unworthily while looking at the mirror.

Hearing the [Man in the Mirror]'s question, Li Ang shrugged his shoulders: "I'm a demon just like you; can't you even tell that?"

"..."

At this time, let alone the [Man in the Mirror], even Old Wu and Pan Mingrui were dumbfounded.

No, brother, aren't you a dragon?! When did you become a demon?!

Wait... this person really didn't seem to say he was a dragon, so could it be that he really is a demon?

And Sophia, after hearing Li Ang's words, tilted her head.

Although she didn't understand why the youth would say that, she wasn't about to undermine him at such a critical juncture.

After a moment of silence, the [Man in the Mirror] said somewhat uncertainly: "Is... is that so?"

Seeing that he didn't quite believe it, Li Ang slightly relaxed the concealment of [Daluo Cave Observation].

Feeling that chaotic aura rooted in his bloodline, the [Man in the Mirror]'s expression suddenly became incomparably strange.

"You really are a demon?!"

My driver's license expired, and I went to deal with that during the day, so I can only do two chapters.

None today.
