Begin from the original form of torture and become immortal

Chapter 1548 Starlight Scene

With the careful planning of Water Company, Starlight becoming a new member of the Big Seven was settled, and Water immediately launched an overwhelming publicity campaign.

The company mobilized all of its media resources, including television advertisements, online push notifications, and street posters, to announce this important news to the public in an all-round and comprehensive manner.

For a time, Xingguang's name was like a bright meteor that passed through the public's vision and quickly resounded throughout the streets and alleys of the city.

After decades of careful construction and management by Water, the Big Seven has long become the most dazzling signboard of Water Company.

The amount of attention they receive is a far cry from that of ordinary, unknown heroes.

Among them, Homelander, as the core figure of the Big Seven, is even more famous, with a huge number of fans and extremely high social influence. His status is so respected that others can hardly match him.

Therefore, the newly arrived stars really cannot be compared with the people of the motherland at this stage.

For a company like Vought that puts business interests first, every seat in the Big Seven is crucial.

Any vacancy among the Big Seven, even for just one day, would result in a severe blow to the company's business revenue.

In Water's financial statements, every penny less earned is considered a loss, and losses are something that Water absolutely cannot tolerate.

After all, in Walter's ruthless values, a human life is priced at only $45,000.

According to this standard, the wealth lost by the company during the days when the seats of the Big Seven were vacant was enough to form a reinforced company.

To be fair, in the first and second seasons of "The Boys", Erin Moriarty, who played Starlight, showed a unique charm.

Although her appearance cannot be called stunning, it is at least fresh and attractive, leaving a deep impression on the audience.

However, starting from the third season, the situation changed quietly and Starlight's image gradually became distorted.

By the fourth season, her appearance had deteriorated to the point where it was unbearable to look at.

Behind this, it reflects a rather peculiar aesthetic preference of female stars in the American entertainment industry.

They often have an almost obsessive pursuit of high cheekbones and sunken cheeks on both sides, and seem to believe that such a face can show the so-called "sense of sophistication".

But unfortunately, many female stars have gradually lost their original distinctiveness in the process of chasing this trend.

This is true for Erin Moriarty, who plays Starlight, and Megan Fox, the heroine of the Transformers film series.

Fortunately, at present, Xingguang's image is still within an acceptable range.

Xingguang, as the heroine of the story, showed a strong sense of justice in the early stages.

Although she herself has some unknown dark secrets, compared with other superhumans with perverse behaviors and corrupt morals, she is like a white lotus that is untainted by the mud.

With her own strength and charm, Starlight successfully joined the Super Seven. When she joined, among the seven giants, except for Homelander who was in prison at the time, Queen Maeve, Deep Sea, Black, Invisible Man, and Locomotive all showed up and held a seemingly grand welcome ceremony for her.

Of all the members of the Big Seven, the superhero that Starlight admires the most is Deep.

Although the lofty, nearly perfect, divine image of the motherland is awe-inspiring, it also makes people feel a sense of distance that is difficult to approach.

And in Xingguang's childhood memories, the deep sea has always been a symbol of bravery and justice.

As Deep Sea led Starlight to visit the conference room of the Big Seven, in that spacious and bright conference room, huge high-definition screens were embedded on the walls. At this moment, they were flashing soft blue light, reflecting rows of exquisite trophies and medals that symbolized the glory of the Big Seven.

The air was filled with a solemn and dignified atmosphere, as if telling of the glorious achievements of the team in the past. Xingguang was filled with reverence and joy, her eyes sparkling with amazement and yearning for everything in front of her.

She raised her head slightly, her eyes following the tall figure of Shenhai, and said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Shenhai, I have admired you since I was a child. When I was a child, every time I saw you saving the world on the screen, I felt that you were the bravest and most righteous hero in the world. That kind of love for you has always accompanied me as I grew up."

There was sincerity in her words.

Of course, Xingguang knew in her heart that this love came more from the pure admiration for the idol in childhood, which was completely different from the love between men and women.

In her eyes, the deep sea is a beacon on her path to growth and the embodiment of her aspirations for a superhero career.

However, what Xingguang never expected was that her sincere and affectionate confession was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, triggering a nightmare of raging waves.

After hearing what Xingguang said, a strange, malicious smile flashed across Shenhai's originally kind face, and that smile seemed to hide some disgusting intention.

Then, he did something that made Xingguang dumbfounded and unbelievable - he actually took off his pants without hesitation in this spacious and bright conference room in broad daylight.

Xingguang's eyes suddenly widened as big as copper bells, and the expression on her face changed from the initial reverence and joy to full shock and disbelief in an instant.

She felt as if her brain had stopped functioning in an instant, and her whole body froze in place.

She could never have imagined that the childhood idol who was once tall, majestic and brave in her mind would now behave so shamefully in front of her.

Facing Xingguang's extremely shocked expression, Shenhai not only did not feel the slightest bit of guilt or shame, but instead asked in confusion, like a child who had done something wrong but was completely unaware of it, "Why? Didn't you say you liked me since you were a child?"

There was a hint of frivolity and arrogance in his tone, as if everything he did was taken for granted.

Seeing her childhood idol in this state, Xingguang felt as if her entire belief system was shaken by a strong earthquake, and was on the verge of collapse.

During this period of time, her experience at the Vought headquarters has gradually allowed her to see the unknown dark sides of the superheroes in private.

Those superheroes who appear glamorous and admired in front of the public actually commit many despicable and immoral behaviors behind the scenes.

But even so, she had never thought that the Deep Sea, whom she had always deeply admired, would harass her so blatantly and unscrupulously.
