Lu Li finally understood.

Himeko, this isn't a discussion, it's clearly a notification.

You, Himeko with thick eyebrows and big eyes, are you trying to make a fool of me again?

Looking at Himeko's "kind" smile, and then at Estella and March 7's expectant eyes.

Lu Li knew that he was doomed today.

He let out a silent wail.

After what happened with Tianmu the day before yesterday, I really don't want to be famous anymore!

But when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

finally.

Under the "friendly persuasion" of Himeko, Lu Li was half-pushed and half-forced to the center of the bridge.

He took a deep breath, and then... sighed.

……Fine.

Isn't it just being Pam... cough cough, no, mascot?

He admitted it.

At worst, he can just stand still; that doesn't count as overtime, right?

Lu Li was pushed to the center of the bridge by the crowd.

The next moment, all the researchers below turned their attention to this location.

Lu Li: "..."

Instantly becoming the center of everyone's attention, Lu Li felt extremely uncomfortable.

He did get up here, but what is he going to do?

To deliver a passionate and inspiring speech?

Or should we raise our arms and shout "For the space station!"?

Or perhaps the lady with the pointed hat, praising the greatness of the black tower?

cough cough.

No more joking, he could never do something like that.

Or... how about we sing a song?

No, no, that would mean I'd really debut as an idol right there on the spot.

After some internal struggle.

Lu Li decided... well, never mind.

Let's just stand here.

Anyway, Himeko and the others didn't say anything about asking him to go on stage to do anything.

As a result, a bizarre scene unfolded inside the bridge.

On the stage, Lu Li stood there with a lazy, half-asleep expression on his face, seemingly lost in thought.

The researchers below the stage remained silent.

But a few seconds later, whispers broke out backstage, which quickly turned into a chorus of suppressed gasps.

"Wait, that, that person is...?"

"It's him! It's Lu Li from the Sky Curtain!" A young researcher pointed at Lu Li, his voice trembling.

But it wasn't out of fear, it was out of excitement.

"It really is him! Come to think of it, I saw his photo on the commercial street forum today. I initially thought it was photoshopped..."

"A hero...a hero is actually on our space station!"

"He didn't leave! He's still here; he came to save us!"

"We're saved! The hero who could defeat even the Destroyer is here, what do we have to fear!"

In an instant, the atmosphere on the entire bridge underwent a dramatic change.

The fear and despair that had just filled the air seemed to have been swept away.

Instead, there was an almost fanatical worship and soaring morale.

Those hands that were trembling with panic were now clenched into fists.

Those eyes that had been dull and lifeless now had the flame of hope rekindled.

At the same time, the famous saying that has been circulating online seemed to appear in everyone's mind:

Even dust can hold sparks, let alone a sword that has truly shattered galaxies!

As long as that man is still standing, the space station will not collapse!

All the researchers straightened their backs, and even their movements while operating the terminals became firm and powerful.

Estella stood in front of the command platform, staring in disbelief at everything.

She could hardly believe her eyes.

There was just one person standing there.

He did nothing and said nothing, yet he instantly changed everyone's mindset.

Is this the power of a hero?

She turned to look at Himeko, her eyes filled with gratitude.

Himeko smiled and nodded at her, everything understood without words.

March 7th stood to the side, hands on hips, his face beaming with smug satisfaction, as if to say, "See? I told you so."

Xing stared intently at Lu Li, her curiosity and inquiry growing stronger.

Lu Li, who was the center of attention, thought, "...?"

Is this over?

It's not what he imagined.

Lu Li muttered to himself.

So, the hero's job is to stand here like a mascot, for people to watch?

Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought there would be some big event.

If he had known it was this easy, he would have agreed sooner; maybe he could have left work earlier.

Just as Estella stepped forward, preparing to express her gratitude to Lu Li...

"Waaaaah—!!"

suddenly.

The piercing alarm sounded again throughout the bridge, more urgent than ever before!

next second.

On the main screen in the center of the bridge, the monitoring footage of the space station's exterior flashed suddenly.

A ferocious, terrifying, and enormous dragon-shaped monster appeared in everyone's sight.

next moment.

Bang-!

As the monster's claws slashed against the protective shield, the entire space station shook.

On the main screen, the enormous creature's claws were slowly piercing into the space station's energy shield.

Although the shield is being repaired, it's clear to everyone that it's only a matter of time before it breaks.

The bridge was immediately thrown into chaos.

"What...what kind of monster is that...?"

"Our shields... are about to give way!"

Estelle's face darkened, but she forced herself to remain calm and shouted into the communicator, "All defense systems, full power!"

however.

Countless beams of energy bombarded the monster, but they were like stones sinking into the sea, unable to even make it pause.

"It didn't work..."

Estella instantly realized that this monster was on a completely different level from those illusory soldiers.

Estella suddenly turned around and looked at Himeko and Lu Li's group, her eyes filled with determination.

"You all need to get out of here quickly, take the train!"

"You've helped enough; leave this to me."

Himeko looked at the ferocious apocalyptic beast on the screen, then glanced at Lu Li and Xing beside her.

After thinking for a moment, Himeko nodded: "Okay."

This single word "good" stunned everyone on March 7th.

Especially on March 7th, she simply couldn't believe her ears.

March 7th hesitated slightly: "But..."

Himeko offered no explanation, but simply said to the others, "Let's go."

After saying that, she pulled the somewhat reluctant March 7th and turned to walk towards the passage leading to the platform.

Dan Heng glanced at Himeko's resolute back, then at the terrifying doomsday beast on the screen.

In the end, he said nothing and silently followed.

Although Xing didn't understand what was happening, she followed the others.

Lu Li looked at Ji Zi, who was pulling San Yueqi along, with a thoughtful expression.

Himeko's reaction was indeed a bit unusual.

After all, you could tell from the fact that she had sent them to rescue the people on the space station earlier.

Given Himeko's personality, it's impossible for her to abandon the people on the space station and escape alone.

But based on what he knew about the plot... he could probably guess why Himeko did this.

only……

Lu Li turned his head and glanced down at the bridge.
