Under the guidance of Vermilion Bird, the other party quickly arrived. It was a Norther Sero, tall and muscular with thick fur, named Lucas. When he saw Li Ming, he appeared quite agitated, his face flushing red.
"Sir Li Ming… you've returned?"
The news of his return was still classified, and not many people at the base were aware of it. Li Ming smiled and nodded slightly.
"Let's skip the pleasantries. This is an experimental mission. You might die. Or you might not." Li Ming spoke concisely, motioning for Lucas to sit down.
The man swallowed nervously. Though he had mentally prepared himself before coming, he still couldn't help but feel somewhat uneasy now.
Li Ming didn't waste any time, activating his ability again and selecting Lucas as his target.
The next moment, he returned to his body from that peculiar state, watching Lucas roll his eyes and freeze in place, seemingly lifeless.
