"Is it this thing?" Li Ming was slightly taken aback. He had seen this device in the depths of the Red River Star Stream, back when it was still in the hands of Prince Costate.
It's from Chrono, used to lock onto the Blood of the World detector targeted at Talos.
"... from the Empire, Chrono..."
Li Ming was silent, inexplicably torn between laughter and tears.
It was now clear that Chrono's betrayal came faster than he anticipated, directly aligning with the Empire.
The Empire capturing him was surely to collaborate with Chrono, to counter many X Level Life Forms.
Adam's solution—turns out it was me.
Li Ming realized he had overlooked something; based on his previous deductions, it wasn't yet time for Adam to make a move against him.
But the world isn't static; Adam, now overwhelmed, had no choice but to confront the present crisis to secure a future.
Hence the decision to target him, to draw in Chrono.
