Chapter 580: Demon? So Am I!

"【Mirror Person】 Lord Luonan?"

Li Ang subconsciously repeated the name.

Without a doubt, any professional who possessed a title wouldn't be weak, let alone one who worked in such a high-risk industry as information brokering.

Old Wu nodded, then began introducing the details of this information broker: "This guy's a Tier-6 professional, race should probably count as a Mirror Demon? I don't even know if that classification exists, but according to rumors he was born from the mind of some Tier-7 demon, and eventually found a way to break free from his main body and become an independent existence."

"."

The moment you heard about a guy like that, you knew he'd be a tough nut to crack, and there was a high chance he'd be tied to some terrifying Tier-7 existence.

Thinking this, Li Ang silently sighed in his heart, then spoke up: "No time to waste, let's head out."

Fortunately, they were only going to gather intel, so it shouldn't come to a conflict with the other party.

Besides, there wasn't a better option for now — better to go investigate first, and if no useful information turned up, they'd find another way.

As he spoke, Li Ang stood up: "Take my starship, it's faster."

With his current Energy stat of 304,967.5, the 【Earth Devourer】 could already reach an utterly terrifying speed, which was the main reason he'd said so.

But upon hearing Li Ang's words, Old Wu waved his hands repeatedly: "Your starship is way too eye-catching, let's take ours."

If he hadn't seen the 【Earth Devourer】 it would be one thing, but precisely because he had, he couldn't agree to it.

After all, what kind of agent drives a big transport out when running a covert operation!?

Though in a certain sense, that could count as decent cover.

Learning that Old Wu had already prepared in advance, Li Ang naturally wouldn't argue with him over such a trivial side issue.

But when he saw the not-so-eye-catching starship this senior engineer mentioned, the corner of his eye couldn't help but twitch.

Looking at the battered, nearly falling-apart starship before him, Li Ang hesitated, then asked: "Are you sure this isn't eye-catching?"

"Isn't this just fine?" Old Wu scratched his head, then seeming to realize something, explained: "Those star pirates aren't like us big-corporation employees — calling them broke is giving them too much credit."

"My starship here would count as a luxury ride by their standards."

Hearing this, Li Ang fell silent for a moment.

Is it really that exaggerated?

Clearly the starships under Otavio's people all looked pretty normal.

But he quickly realized things couldn't be compared — after all, that 【Undefeated Knight】 could barely be counted as the Empire's white glove, and had probably received plenty of funding behind the scenes.

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

But unlike its battered exterior, the interior decoration, while not exactly luxurious, wasn't bad either — at the very least it looked like a place a person could stay in.

As Old Wu activated the control system, the starship shuddered, then slowly drifted out of the starport.

Seeing this, the senior engineer's face couldn't help but break into a gratified smile: "As long as it moves, that's fine."

Though he didn't know how it was moving either.

Li Ang fell silent for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at Pan Mingrui beside him, only to find the other already wearing an utterly matter-of-fact expression.

'So are all 【Giant God's Heavy Industries】 engineers this unreliable?'

For some reason, Old Wu always reminded him of the programmers from before his transmigration.

And programmers had two great problems, namely—

How the hell is this thing running?!

Why the hell isn't this thing running?!

……

Two days later, under Old Wu's masterful piloting, the "Inconspicuous" finally arrived at the 【Demon's Desire Grand Casino】.

As the starship finished docking, several figures immediately gathered around the hatch.

"Boss, boss, looking for a room? Tender catgirls, sultry succubi… whatever you want, our place has it, and the prices are fair — you'll definitely be satisfied."

"Boss, does your starship need repairs? Our repair shop's running a promotion right now—"

Looking at the chattering service staff around him, Old Wu quickly called them to a halt: "Stop, stop, stop — do we look like we have money?"

Hearing this, the service staff couldn't help but start sizing up the group before them.

A sleazy middle-aged man in tattered clothes, a half-human half-machine modified with cheap prosthetics, an ordinary person, a starving-ghost reincarnate, a rainbow-haired woman radiating a damp, sinister aura—

Once they got a clear look at Li Ang's group's appearance, the service staff immediately scattered like birds and beasts.

But just then, Old Wu called out to the starship repair shop employee: "Give me your cheapest ship-wash package."

Hearing this, the repair shop employee's eyes couldn't help but flash with a hint of contempt, then in a matter-of-fact tone said: "Thanks for your patronage, 2,000 credits."

"Sent." Old Wu displayed just the right amount of heartache, then asked in a seemingly casual tone: "Speaking of which, has the casino received any big hauls lately? I heard 【Giant God's Heavy Industries】 and 【Aio Logistics】 got a batch of cargo hijacked."

"You think I'd know about something like that?"

The repair shop employee rolled his eyes, then stopped paying attention to this slovenly middle-aged man, turned and left.

Watching the other disappear from view, Old Wu immediately dropped his street-stall manner, scratched his cheek and said: "Looks like those guys are hiding deep — not even a whisper got out."

As he spoke, he swept a glance at his companions disguised as stinky fish and rotten shrimp, and couldn't help but show a hint of approval: "Nice acting."

Old Wu had originally worried these three from 【Aio Logistics】's Julong Society would resist his arrangements, but unexpectedly they cooperated fully.

Facing his praise, Li Ang couldn't help but shake his head slightly, then asked: "Where do we go next to find that 【Mirror Person】?"

It had to be said, the 【Demon's Desire Grand Casino】 truly lived up to its reputation as the largest fencing spot in this star domain — just now he'd already sensed several Tier-6 professionals.

"I've already looked into it. Finding that 【Mirror Person】 is simple — just go to any place on this planet that has a mirror, and shout 'Lord Luonan, Renkuaibang Gang!'" Pan Mingrui said casually while using his prosthetic eye to observe the passing crowd in the starport, "But to get intel from him, you need to complete a task for him, and the difficulty adjusts based on the rarity of the intel."

"And what if he doesn't have a task?"

"Some people sell intel to the 【Mirror Person】, using that to ask others to do a task for them."

"I see."

Hearing this, a look of understanding flashed in Li Ang's eyes — wasn't this just a middleman.

After figuring out how to find the 【Mirror Person】, Li Ang's group immediately left the starport.

Although mirrors were everywhere, they still needed to find a hidden spot.

After checking into a hotel at the steep price of five thousand credit points, the five of them immediately began setting up the hotel room.

Spatial concealment devices, the Great Luo Cavernous Observation, a Barrier.

It did not take long before this little room was transformed into an airtight cage.

Looking at the smooth, gleaming mirror before him, Li Ang spoke up: "Who's going?"

"I'll do it."

Pan Mingrui stepped forward and immediately began cosplaying the Lord of the Bathroom.

Only, unlike that one, his line was just a single sentence.

"Lord Luonan, Renkuaibang Gang!"

As the words fell, a vortex instantly appeared on the mirror's surface.

Then, the very next moment, five figures abruptly appeared before Li Ang and the others.

Looking at the shadowy figures in the mirror, identical to themselves, the five of them couldn't help squinting slightly.

So that's what "the person in the mirror" means.

After a brief silence, a voice that was a man and a woman speaking in unison came from the mirror: "It's rare for so many people to summon me at once."

"Let me see."

"Humans, modified humans, dragons, dragons, and—"

As it spoke, the gazes of the five shadowy figures swept over Old Wu and the others one by one, until finally settling on Li Ang.

Looking at the young man whose expression was as usual, the shadowy figures couldn't help showing a bit of puzzlement on their faces.

After a while like this, they asked in unison: "Uh—if you could tell me what kind of creature you are, I could give you a piece of intel for free."

"?"

There's such a good deal?

Old Wu and the other two immediately looked at Li Ang, while Yilisi stared at the mirror, drooling pathetically.

Hearing the question from 【the Person in the Mirror】, Li Ang shrugged: "I'm a demon just like you—can't you tell?"

"."

At this point, not to mention 【the Person in the Mirror】, even Old Wu and Pan Mingrui were dumbfounded.

Bro, aren't you a dragon?! When did you become a demon?!

Wait, this guy really never said he was a dragon, so does that mean he's actually a demon?

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

Although she didn't quite understand why the young man would say that, she wasn't about to undercut him at such a critical moment.

After a moment of silence, 【the Person in the Mirror】 said uncertainly: "R-really?"

Seeing that it didn't quite believe him, Li Ang slightly loosened the concealment of 【Great Luo Cavernous Observation】.

Sensing that aura of chaos rooted in blood, 【the Person in the Mirror】's expression instantly became extremely strange.

"You really are a demon?!"

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

None today.
