As the meal was drawing to a close, Estella noticed a notification coming from her emergency contact system.

"What is it, Alan?"

"Miss, something terrible has happened. Several staff members have disappeared without a trace, and there's also Lady Black Tower's doll."

"What?! Give me a detailed report!"

Her reaction left the other three puzzled.

After hearing Alan's detailed account of the events on the other end, Estella quickly synchronized her situation with the three of them.

"I'll help!" Xing immediately stood up.

The situation was urgent, so Aistar nodded and then looked at Qi Zhimu.

"Mr. Zhi Mu..."

"I'll help too. In the medical department, can you arrange for a rotating doctor to temporarily cover my shift?" Qi Zhimu said without hesitation.

The moment Black Tower left on his business trip, the puppet left behind on the space station was attacked. Who dared to be so bold?

"Excuse me, Ms. Nguyen Mai."

Estella politely apologized and then hurriedly left with Qi Zhimu and Xing.

Ruan Mei made no offer to help.

But Qi Zhimu got involved, so it was clear she couldn't just sit there.

However, before that, there was something that had been puzzling her for a long time.

Estelle's attitude towards Qi Zhimu was nothing like that of an ordinary clerk. Even if Qi Zhimu were the top expert in the medical field, she wouldn't be so polite.

The information regarding Qi Zhimu's employment at the space station is likely inaccurate and problematic.

As the manager of the space station, Estádio had no reason not to know; the answer was obvious.

Her student, Amu, also has another mysterious identity.

What exactly is it...?

Ruan Mei fell into deep thought, but couldn't figure it out for the time being.

……

The three of them returned to the main control module.

During their journey, Aistar added Qi Zhimu and Xing to a group chat to keep them updated on public opinion on the space station.

When major events occur, these private little circles are more likely to reflect the true direction of public opinion.

[Black Tower Police Team]

As soon as Xing entered, she saw a certain ID and couldn't help but twitch at the corner of her eye.

[In a rather gruff tone: Welcome, new comrade!]

[Anonymous: Serving tea to a big shot.]

[Super-fast Qin Demon: No way, I'm just a nobody.]

[Bill Gewara: You're joking, boss. My group status has decreased by 1.]

[Mars Robotics: Group Status -1.]

[Face to face: This ID looks familiar. I remember there was a group called Melon Field Melon ...

[Chalichaqi: ...You actually knew my old username before my reincarnation, looks like you've been surfing the internet quite a bit.]

[Unlicensed Spaceship Pilot: Okay, okay, let's get back to the point. What do we do now?]

[Outrageous: Accountability is imperative!]

[Facing a major blow: What are they holding accountable for?]

[Bill Gewara: You didn't know? Look at this, /Ms. Black Tower's Single Push News.mp4]

Qi Zhimu and Xing both clicked to play the video.

Announcer: Good evening, haters! We now have an urgent news briefing.

• Announcer: Recently, the Great Genius Club #83, Ms. Black Tower, went missing after being attacked on the space station. As of now, no organization has claimed responsibility for the incident.

• Announcer: As a result, a large number of haters issued strong protests and severe condemnations against the management's negligence and inaction.

[Taking a direct hit: When did Lady Black Tower suddenly have so many little black monsters?]

[Super-fast Hand Speed ​​Demon: Uh… this "hater" isn't the same as that "hater." "Hater" here refers to a die-hard Black Tower fan.]

[Facing the ultimate attack: Never mind then, I can be a hater too.]

[A sarcastic comment: Look at this! They've really messed with the powerful, even daring to bully Lady Black Tower! Shouldn't the space station management be held responsible for this?]

Mars Robotics: Indeed, every single one of these managers is utterly outrageous.

[Chalichaqi: It's one thing for the antimatter legion to be attacked, but for Lady Black Tower to be attacked on her own turf? What kind of nonsense is this?!]

[Relentless in ruining lives: But to be fair, the reconstruction and rebuilding of the space station after the Legion crisis was actually quite well done.]

Mars Robotics: That's true.

[A sarcastic comment: Let's keep things separate. Don't they have enough problems already?]

Seeing this, Xing couldn't stand it anymore and typed rapidly.

[Taking the hit head-on: Why the rush to purge the management? Isn't the priority the safety of the Black Tower Lady doll right now?]

[A sarcastic remark: Mind your own business! This isn't Aistar's concern. We monitor the results; how to achieve them is a matter for management!]

[Super-Speed ​​Piano Demon: Can't anyone tell me which doll is the missing one belonging to Lady Black Tower?]

[A sarcastic comment: The management is incompetent; they haven't even made it public yet. It's unbelievable that the space station has these corrupt officials. I'm specifically calling out Aista!]

[Taking the ultimate blow head-on: You're already crying in desperation. Estella was personally named by Lady Black Tower, after all. Calling her a parasite is tantamount to implying Lady Black Tower is blind and incompetent, isn't it?]

[In a mocking tone: ...I, I didn't say that about Ms. Black Tower!]

During the online battle between Star and Keyboard Warriors, Aistar has found out more information and looks rather grim.

Currently, news of the missing clerk has been promptly contained, and the only information that has spread so far is that the Black Tower personnel were attacked.

Even so, it's enough to cause a huge uproar.

"Mr. Zhi Mu, all of Ms. Heita's dolls on the space station have gone missing. In addition, the number of missing staff members is four, which is fewer than the number of Ms. Heita's dolls."

"Are you saying that this disappearance case is aimed at the Black Tower?" Qi Zhimu narrowed his eyes.

"I've retrieved a small portion of the surveillance footage; take a look." Estella pulled up the screen.

It wouldn't have mattered if I hadn't looked, but once I did, my gaze froze.

Before the doll, which was in standby mode, disappeared, it was engulfed in deep blue flames.

Xing was completely confused. Turning around, she noticed that Estella looked worried and extremely tired.

"What's wrong, Estella? You seem very anxious."

"It's just a simple meal, don't worry about it."

That's what she said, but Estelle was still in a bad mood and explained further:

"...The voices of doubt have never subsided since the Legion incident. Physical damage can always be repaired, but it takes a very long time to heal the wounds in people's hearts."

"Ever since the attack, some staff members have had doubts about the management and security of the space station."

"Although security was upgraded afterward and the results of reconstruction and revitalization have calmed some of the noise, the continuous disappearances of staff members have caused the matter to escalate again."

"Oh right, I heard from March that you helped upgrade the security system of the space station." Xing looked at Qi Zhimu.

"The security forces are definitely not a problem. If it's an antimatter legion launching a strong attack, the internal defenses are enough to take them out within two seconds of their appearance."

No security system is absolutely invincible, and Qi Zhimu was aware of the flaws in his plan.

"But this fire... for some reason, although I don't have a deep understanding of spatial science, I can still see some clues about it."

"It can now be confirmed that the flame is different from the traditional kind; burning is just the surface, and it is actually spatial teleportation."

Xing frowned after hearing what the two said.

"I have a bad feeling about this. It's only been a short time since the crew member and the Black Tower went missing, and rumors are already spreading on the space station. Is it possible that no one is secretly fueling these rumors?"
