Mecha Era, Punch the Stars

"She's lying."

Yan quietly transmitted her voice to Li Yi.

A thought struck Li Yi: He hadn't yet deciphered the unique brainwaves of the exposed creature. Could it be that Yan had discovered the problem using his soul techniques?

He asked via telepathic communication:

"Sister Yan, how do you know?"

Yan transmitted his voice:

"It's very simple. I am proficient in the characteristics of the soul, and after advancing to demigod, I can see through all the subtle fluctuations at the bottom of the soul. Although this woman's soul essence is not weak, it is still much weaker than mine."

Li Yi understood.

"Can we confirm which statement this guy lied about?"

"There's nothing we can do about that for now."

Flame curled her lip and replied telepathically:

“She’s not exactly weak, and all I can tell is that there were lies in what she just said. I estimate that what she said was mostly half true and half false.”

"Sister Yan, since you can see the fluctuations at the bottom of the other person's soul, could you send me the specific time when you determined that the other person was lying, as well as the soul profile diagram that revealed the problems in their expression, all in the form of codes?"

Li Yi made a request.

The so-called encoding is an information encoding that they mech pilots must learn. It has a fast transmission efficiency and is suitable for these powerful individuals to quickly exchange intelligence.

As one of humanity's top experts, Yan naturally possesses this ability as well.

However, this thing is not simple. The soul profile inside involves some of her secrets. If it were anyone else, Yan would certainly not agree to it.

But since it was Li Yi in front of her, she naturally didn't hesitate and replied directly:
"Of course, I'll send it to you now, just a moment."

A short while later, Li Yi's soul quickly received a batch of information codes.

With this intelligence, they had enough leverage to decipher the exposed brainwaves.

"Received it, it's very comprehensive, thank you Sister Yan."

"Good brother, there's no need for such formalities between us."

Li Yi: “…”

Alright, even the good younger brother has come out.

He turned to look at Lu and said calmly:

"It is rather inappropriate for you to ask us whether we are sincere. You keep expressing your gratitude for saving your life, yet you still expect us to give you something in return. Doesn't that damage the dignity of your so-called primitive holy race?"

"What, are you saying you look down on people like us who are born to live only a hundred years?"

"Or is this so-called primordial holy race's fearlessness of epochal calamities just a bargaining chip you're using to bluff us?"

“We don’t have time to waste with this noble primordial saint.”

"If you are sincere about cooperating with us humans, then we can still have something to talk about."

"But if you are not sincere, we do not mind sealing you away permanently, or even destroying your soul and making your body nothing."

“Your Holy Ancestor may be a very powerful figure, but I can assure you that if you die here, he will absolutely not seek revenge on us for your sake.”

The reason Li Yi had been chatting with Lu was because he hadn't yet deciphered Lu's brainwaves.

But now that Flame has confirmed that what Lu said was a lie, he also has a need to urge her to speed up the decoding process.

Then he naturally wouldn't give him a friendly look anymore.

At the very least, the other party needs to understand that she is currently dependent on others, not that they are asking her for help.

Even if Russo truly possesses so-called vassal quotas that could enable humanity to successfully escape this so-called epochal calamity, it would probably not be an easy task to accomplish.

How could someone with a special gene successfully avoid a calamity that even countless supreme-level powerhouses couldn't handle?

Is it really that simple? Would she readily offer it up for negotiation?
Although Li Yi has a god-sister named Li Lulu, it doesn't mean he'll extend that affection to her and be more friendly towards this old-fashioned version of Lulu.

Just as he had told Lu, the Calabash People had long since banished her, and the possibility of her taking revenge on Li Yi and the others for her sake was extremely low. Li Yi's statement caught the group somewhat off guard.

Yan's eyes lit up, secretly pleased. He had long disliked this arrogant woman.

Lin Jianlong nodded slightly, secretly praising Li Yi's negotiation style, which suited his taste very well.

He disliked the way the rescued person took advantage of his kindness and asked questions slowly before.

Lu narrowed her eyes and said coldly:

“I respect you as strong individuals, and you saved my life, which is why I am willing to tell you such confidential information.”

"Do you know how much risk I took to tell you this news?"

"Do you know just how many supreme-level powerhouses yearn to know about this news of escaping the epochal calamity?"

Li Yi shook his head inwardly; this woman was indeed eloquent.

However, thanks to the information provided by Yan, he has now basically deciphered a portion of the brainwaves.

Moreover, the greater the emotional fluctuations of the other party, the more efficient Li Yi became at deciphering intelligence.

However, these few words are clearly not enough to complete the task immediately.

not enough.

At that moment, Li Yi smiled and exclaimed in admiration:
"I underestimated you; you've put the hat on quite well."

"Unfortunately, your mention of the Primordial Holy Race and calamity did not intimidate us."

"Judging from the fact that you avoided answering the key questions I just raised, it's quite clear that what you told us before was indeed fake news."

"Stop with the sophistry; it's all the same old rubbish over and over."

"Your idea is actually very simple."

"After being released from the seal, you discover that the people who rescued you were all strangers."

"And we strangers are all powerful and physically strong. You'll soon see that you can't afford to mess with us right now."

"Because of certain instincts deep within your genes, you deeply dislike us humans."

Let me guess.

"The Primal Holy Race did indeed have a way to avoid disasters."

"But you wouldn't use such methods."

"You are also worried about the disasters that will happen a thousand years from now."

"Even this awakening is very disadvantageous for you, and it was even unexpected."

"So you say it's a life-saving grace, but you don't feel the slightest bit of gratitude towards us."

"Because essentially, you believe that our actions have harmed you."

"You have to go back to the holy ancestor who once banished you."

"So you need some pledges of loyalty to make your operation more feasible."

"That's why you deliberately leaked information about your lifespan, in order to gain our trust and then use us, right?"

Li Yi used his proficient, even nearly perfect, interrogation techniques.

While using micro-electrical characteristics to judge the exposed brain waves, adjust your language to confirm the other party's situation.

After he finished speaking, not only Lu, but even Lin Jianlong felt a chill run down his spine.

He had heard that Li Yi's interrogation methods were very powerful, and that he could get prisoners to reveal their secrets without them saying a word.

Lin Jianlong had previously thought this was just an exaggeration.

Now I never expected that this would actually be true?
Judging from Lu's changing expression, Li Yi's words were clearly 99% correct!
Lin Jianlong couldn't help but feel anticipation, wanting to see how this so-called arrogant primordial holy race would respond. (End of Chapter)
