Collapse Iron: My Past Life Revealed, I Was Everyone's White Moonlight

Hearing Lu Li's words.

Heita shrugged, looking completely innocent: "I'm just a researcher; I didn't release the video."

"However—"

She changed the subject, her tone becoming more genuinely interested.

"Let's not even talk about your connection to that strange sky."

"To be honest, I'm more interested in you than in that star core carrier."

"A 'logistics specialist' who can withstand the beams of the Doomsday Beast and easily kill the Legion's anti-planetary weapons is itself a top-tier artifact."

Lu Li: "..."

Please stop talking.

If he keeps talking, he's really going to die on the spot.

Lu Li took a deep breath and put his phone back in his pocket.

Things have come to this point, and there's no going back on the pretense.

But he absolutely cannot stay here as a guinea pig.

"I want to go back to the train," Lu Li said decisively.

"Back to the train? Why are you in such a hurry?" Black Tower found Lu Li's tense and alarming expression quite amusing.

Lu Li: "...This isn't called being in a hurry, this is called a strategic retreat!"

If he doesn't leave now, he won't be able to leave once everyone who sees this video comes to the space station.

Lu Li's mind was now completely focused on how to get away as quickly as possible, to get as far away from this place of trouble as possible.

Hei Ta produced a cup of coffee from somewhere and slowly took a sip: "Actually, it's too late for you to leave now."

Lu Li was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Black Tower put down his coffee cup and watched him drop a bombshell: "Because of this video, the Interstellar Peace Corporation is in an uproar."

"They seem convinced that you are the person in the sky, and they have already dispatched a special investigation team to the space station."

"Judging by the time... hmm, it should be arriving soon."

"Interstellar Peace Corporation?!" Lu Li gasped.

These crazy capitalists are not to be trifled with.

Moreover, the current situation is completely different from when they first issued the announcement.

Back then he was just a "suspected person involved," but now he's the undeniable proof.

If I were to run into them now, they would be like leeches that I couldn't shake off no matter what.

At that point, forget about slacking off; you'll probably have to sleep with one eye open.

Without saying a word, Lu Li turned around and rushed to Ji Zi, grabbing her arm.

"Himeko-nee! Let's go!"

"Immediately! Right now! Depart now!"

"Not a second can be wasted!"

Seeing Lu Li's panicked appearance, Ji Zi couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This guy is usually lazy and sluggish, like a lump of mud, and he'd use the sky as a blanket even if it fell down.

It's rare to see him so flustered.

"Oh, aren't you tired now?" Himeko teased.

"What's there to be tired about! Staying alive is the most important thing!"

"If I don't leave now, all my 180 pounds of flesh will be wasted here!"

Lu Li grabbed Ji Zi and pulled her outside.

Black Tower said from behind, "Hey, don't be in such a hurry."

"I can stop when I finish my research, or when I lose interest halfway through."

Lu Li was somewhat speechless: "And then what?"

"after?"

Black Tower paused for a moment, then replied matter-of-factly, "What does that have to do with me?"

Lu Li rolled her eyes.

I don't believe you!

He knew it.

Lu Li clung tightly to Ji Zi, urging, "Quick, quick, pack your things, let's retreat!"

Seeing Lu Li's impatient look, Xing was at a loss for what to do.

She had no idea what "Interstellar Peace Corporation" was.

But judging from Lu Li's reaction... could it be a very scary organization?

Seeing that Lu Li was determined to run away, Hei Ta did not try to stop him and turned to look at Xing.

"He can run off, you stay?"

"I am also very interested in the stellar core inside you."

Lu Li, who was preparing to leave, stopped and looked back at Xing, who seemed a little hesitant.

I was so caught up in the news of the video that I almost forgot about it.

Lu Li quickly began to calculate in his mind.

Xingke is the main character.

Putting aside the fact that if she stayed here, the entire plot would be thrown into chaos.

Most importantly, with the main character on the train, I can have someone to shield me from trouble in the future... cough cough, a partner!

Ok.

We have to get her on the bus!

Xing stood still, her gaze shifting hesitantly between the Black Tower, Himeko, and Lu Li.

Should we stay on the space station?

She had only recently woken up and was still unfamiliar with this world.

I have absolutely no idea how to make a decision.

Ji Zi loosened her grip on Lu Li's sleeve and stepped forward.

Looking at Hoshi, Himeko's tone was gentle: "Hoshi...you know you have another option."

"A Star Train is parked on the platform."

"If you'd like, you can come with us."

Should we go with Lu Li and the others?

When Xing heard these words, her heart suddenly started beating faster for some reason.

but……

The scene on the platform came back to mind.

Xing hesitated again.

She had no idea what the "Star Core" inside her body was.

If we follow them, the same thing will happen again.

Will they be put in danger because of her again?

It seemed as if they had discerned Xing's thoughts.

Himeko laughed and said, "Don't worry, we've dealt with trains and star cores quite a bit."

"What you are worried about is also the answer we are looking for."

"You can join us on a pioneering journey to find the answers you seek."

"Furthermore—"

Himeko glanced at the Black Tower, her smile deepening.

"We can come back anytime for Black Tower to do research; she's really interested in it right now."

Lu Li listened from the side and nodded in agreement.

Yes, yes, that's it.

Sister Himeko is right, let's get on the bus!

Black Tower thought for a moment, then nodded. "Hmm, that's not bad; it can at least keep things somewhat fresh."

"When I don't need this kid, I don't have to worry about him."

Xing looked at the Black Tower, speechless: "You're truly the most selfish person I've ever met..."

Black Tower shrugged nonchalantly.

"Don't say that, I'm suggesting you get on the train."

"Your staying would be of some benefit to me, but overall it wouldn't help much."

"Remember to come back and visit often after you leave~ Make an appointment in advance, just ask for Estád or Alan, so I can have time to study you."

"Oh, right," Heita said, looking at Lu Li, "the same goes for you."

Lu Li: "..."

No.

I don't want to be the same at all.

Xing listened to the three people's words and fell into deep thought.

Stay on the space station?

Or should we board the train and embark on an unknown journey of exploration with them?

Those images flashed through Xing's mind.

The warmth of her body as she frantically hugged herself on March 7th.

Dan Heng's calm gaze and crisp, clean marksmanship.

Himeko's calm and collected commands remained amidst the chaos.

And then there's Lu Li.

Xing looked at Lu Li, and the image of him standing in front of her and splitting the beam of light with his sword flashed through her mind.

Although this person claims to be in logistics, he is usually lazy and unproductive.

But in crucial moments, he is truly reliable.

and.

March 7th, Danheng, Himeko... they are all very friendly.

Xing seemed to have already found the answer in her heart.

But she still wanted one last bit of courage and confirmation.

Xing looked up at Lu Li: "Lu Li, what about you?"

"Do you want me to get in the car and travel with you?"

Lu Li was about to say "yes".

But the words stuck in his throat.

he knows.

As soon as he utters that word, Xing will follow them onto the train.

This is what he hoped for, and this is the result he wanted.

but……

Lu Li was silent for two seconds, then sighed softly and looked at Xing.

"I don't want to lie, I do want to... I definitely want to."

"But, Star."

Lu Li's tone suddenly became much more serious as he looked at Xing and said, "You need to know that the journey of pioneering is not a sightseeing trip."

"It won't always be smooth sailing and joyful; there may be setbacks, dangers, or even... pain along the way."

"This is the path you will walk from now on."

"Therefore—you must make the choice yourself."

Should she be left to make...the choice?

Xing lowered her gaze slightly.

The scene was quiet for a few seconds.

"but……"

Just then, Lu Li's voice rang out again.

"If you know and understand all of this, and still want to come with us..."

A hand was extended towards Xing.

"Then come with us."

Xing looked up and saw Lu Li's smile.

"I won't let you regret it."

Xing looked at Lu Li's outstretched hand, with a smiley face band-aid drawn by March 7th still on the palm.

She glanced at Himeko and Kurota again.

She didn't want to regret it.

and so.

"I choose—"
