Collapse Iron: The Five Heroes of the Clouds Won't Let Me Go

Xing: "I'm used to being praised, but you're the first one to compliment my face. Whose subordinate are you?"

"I am but a humble servant, a mere imposter."

"Very well, in that case, what brings you here?"

"Oh dear, you guys have such bad memories! I'm the employee who greeted you."

"Great, then show us around."

"receive!"

Seeing that Xing and Xu Zhao had begun to interact amicably, Cheng Xiao, though still having doubts, stopped thinking about it.

March 7th and Walter followed.

As soon as the others left, Scott, panting heavily, arrived at the main entrance of the hall:

"Oh no, I've been fooled by that woman. She tricked me. What am I going to do now? I've messed up the reception for the pioneers again. I hope she won't blame me for being late."

Scott entered the Pearl Star Building, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find the Trail Blazers.

"What's going on?! Where are the Trail Blazers?!"

An employee of the company walked over and said:

"Commissioner Scott, what are you doing here? Didn't you already take the pioneers to the technology exhibition area?"

"Me? I just arrived!"

"What?! You just arrived? Then who's in charge of receiving the pioneers?"

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?!"

"Commissioner Scott, what have you done? This is extremely important work, how could you be so negligent? I'm reporting you to the management and having your performance bonus deducted this month!"

"Please, fine, deduct points if you want, but where are the Trail Blazers right now?! And who stole my job?!"

At this moment, Xu Zhao was enthusiastically introducing the products in the science and technology exhibition hall to the group.

For example, Alloy Pam King, and the giant mech I just experienced.

Xu Zhao said smugly:

"Whether it's Alloy Pam King or Dawn Mech, these are all technological products inspired by 'Sotenko Line: The Loose Ship'!"

Xing replied calmly, "Oh, yes, I know."

Xu Zhao: "You know? How could you know?!"

"The Dawn team has already given us a tour."

Xu Zhao knelt on the ground, his face filled with grief and indignation:

"Are you kidding me! What's the point of my existence then? I'm the one who's supposed to be the receptionist and tour guide! You should wait for me to arrive before you start your tour! Why are you taking away the meaning of my job?!"

March 7th said helplessly, "Why does the company's hospitality seem a bit unreliable? It's not even as good as Scott's."

Xu Zhao was unhappy:

"Huh?! How can you compare me to that lone wolf? I'm a very principled person."

However, no matter how much Xu Zhao made a fuss, Cheng Xiao, who was standing to the side, felt more and more uneasy.

He always felt there was something wrong with this ghostly figure, and since the ghostly figure never dared to look him in the eye, it was definitely hiding something.

Perhaps because Cheng Xiao's gaze was too conspicuous, Xu Zhao forced himself to remain calm and said:

"Now that you pioneers have already seen these technological products, let's take the elevator directly to Ms. Zhenzhu~"

After seeing everyone off in the elevator, Xu Zhao immediately slipped away.

Xing successfully met Zhenzhu again.

"Gentlemen, you have arrived."

Walter explained the Spark Conference and indicated that he could unite the visitors from the friendly side.

Pearl nodded:

"Please rest assured, I have three masks in my possession. I control one of them myself, and I have entrusted the other two to trustworthy people. You will meet them soon."

Then Zhenzhu opened the Illusionary Moon Palace, revealing eight masks.

"Most of the visitors have been confirmed so far, but the one that needs the most attention is this octopus mask. I can sense a dangerous aura emanating from it. I hope you will pay close attention to it."

After sharing the information, Zhenzhu offered advice:

"In three days, the Two Realms Paradise will host the [Star Train FES] exhibition. This is a large-scale anime convention about the Star Train, where your past heroic stories will be shown."

"This exhibition is the most crowded, and it also involves the Star Train, making it a perfect opportunity for enemies lurking in the shadows to strike. It could be an excellent trap."

Halfway through the discussion, Cheng Xiao raised his hand and said:

"Um... this octopus mask is in the hands of Manyuan, the president of the Happy Smile Research Association."

Xing: "Huh?"

March 7th: "As expected of Uncle Xiao!"

Walter: "Cheng Xiao, is this your plan?"

Zhenzhu: "Mr. Chengxiao, have you already identified the hidden danger? Thank you so much!"

Cheng Xiao was somewhat embarrassed:

"How should I explain this? Let's discuss the specifics with Manyuan in person."

So Zhenzhu immediately contacted Manyuan TV, and Manyuan, the program host, made the contact directly.

"Hello?"

"Ms. Manju, I am Zhenzhu, the CEO of Two-Phase Paradise. I need to ask you some questions about your behavior and story. Would you be willing to cooperate?"

"certainly."

"Alright, may I ask if you have the Octopus Mask?"

"Yes, I am the first visitor of the Mask of Octopuses."

"I understand... First Attendant? What does that mean?"

"It's very simple. The power of the Octopus Mask is closely related to abundance. I implanted abundance cells into the brains of the members, giving them all the power to use the mask. In other words, the attendant of the Octopus Mask has never been a single person, but rather all the inheritors of abundance."

Everyone was shocked. If the power of abundance were to erupt in the Two-Phase Paradise, wouldn't all those who were tainted be assimilated into allies of abundance?

Zhenzhu asked uncertainly:

"Ms. Manyuan, are you sober? Do you know that what you've said is enough to prove you are a reactionary and a terrorist? I have the right to arrest you!"

"I know, so I didn't hide anything and told you my purpose directly."

pearl:"?"

No, are you provoking me? Trying to unleash your ultimate move right up to my face?

Manyuan then explained:

"Thanks to Mr. Cheng Xiao's help, I have reformed and no longer need the original plan. So I'm being honest. If Ms. Zhenzhu needs it, I can give you the mask now."

Zhenzhu looked at Chengxiao in astonishment. It was unbelievable that the hidden danger of the Two Phases Paradise was there, and that Chengxiao had already resolved it.

Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Very well, then please hand over the mask to me for recycling."

"Yes, I will send it over shortly. But Ms. Pearl, and all the pioneers, the hidden dangers in the Two-Phase Paradise are not limited to this. Before I realized it, I was just a pawn of the person behind the scenes. You must be careful. Things will definitely not end so quickly."

After hanging up the phone, Zhenzhu quickly asked:

"Mr. Cheng Xiao, do you have any leads on the person behind Man Yuan's words?"

"Not yet. He's hiding it very well, and I haven't made any special effort to look for him."

"I understand. In that case, on behalf of the company, I hereby announce to all partners of Erxiang Paradise that we will immediately accelerate all cooperative projects to strive for monetization and reduce losses."

Once this command is issued, the most uncomfortable one is the one who is illusory.

"No, why? I just submitted my manuscript last week!"

Company employee: "Enough with the nonsense! The collaboration is speeding up, so as a cartoonist signed with the company, your submission speed has to double. From now on, it's changed from weekly to daily updates. No rest until you finish!"

"No!!!"
