On the rooftop, Lu Li let out a long sigh of relief.

He wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead, feeling as if he had just escaped death.

It worked!

He actually succeeded!

Although the process was a bit... embarrassing.

But the result was good, wasn't it?

He saved Changletian.

the most important is……

He successfully stopped the two women from having a major battle, thus avoiding the tragic end of being dismembered on the spot!

That's simply killing three birds with one stone!

I'm such a genius!

Lu Li gave himself a big thumbs up in his heart.

Then he belatedly realized that everyone around him was looking at him like he was an alien.

"Uh... why are you all staring at me like that?" Lu Li felt a little uneasy under their gaze.

Is there something on my face?

"Lu Li..." March 7's voice was somewhat unsteady, as if he hadn't yet recovered from the shock he had just experienced. "You...you just now..."

"What did I do just now?" Lu Li blinked innocently.

"Were you serious about what you just said?" Hoshino leaned closer, her eyes filled with curiosity and inquiry.

"Of course I'm serious!" Lu Li said righteously. "Overtime work is the root of all evil; it's a malignant tumor that exploits the working people!"

"Every conscientious working person should resolutely resist this!"

March 7th, Star: "..."

Walter's eyelids twitched.

He was now completely unable to comprehend Lu Li's thought process.

Is this guy really the Lu Li he knows, who may be a bit of a slacker but is reliable when it matters?

Or is this his true nature?

An ultimate salted fish who would risk his life to avoid working overtime?

Walter felt a throbbing sensation in his temples.

He decided that once he got back on the train, he would have to properly, re-evaluate, and thoroughly assess Lu Li's mental state.

Just then, Fu Xuan below finally snapped out of his shock.

She gazed intently at Lu Li on the rooftop, her golden eyes gleaming with an unprecedented light.

Just now, everyone's attention was drawn to Lu Li's shocking "anti-overtime declaration".

However, Fu Xuan, as the head of the Grand Diviner and an expert in divination, keenly sensed something amiss.

When Lu Li uttered those words, his voice seemed to contain a peculiar power.

Although the power was subtle, it was like an invisible thread that precisely plucked the heartstrings of Kafka and Kagami.

This forcibly calmed their out-of-control emotions.

This feeling... is somewhat like the power of words.

But it was more sophisticated than any other kind of incantation she knew.

All of this is...unbelievable.

It's important to know that Kafka herself was a master of words.

But his words of power even worked on Kafka...

Who exactly is this man?

For the first time, Fu Xuan felt such intense curiosity about someone.

Speaking of which...

As Lu Li climbed up to the edge of the roof and got closer, Fu Xuan was finally able to get a general idea of ​​what Lu Li looked like.

Although his face was obscured by the hat and mask he was wearing.

But that familiar voice and figure...

Fu Xuan suddenly remembered the mysterious man standing atop mountains of corpses and seas of blood with his back to the world when the first scene of the Heavenly Curtain was revealed.

The one whom the system called "the unforgettable white moonlight"... Lu Li.

Is it...

A tremendous wave of emotion surged within Fu Xuan's heart.

An absurd idea, so ridiculous that even she found it unbelievable, surfaced in Fu Xuan's mind.

Could it be that man on the rooftop, crying and wailing because he didn't want to work overtime...?

Is he the sixth hidden figure among the Five Heroes of the Clouds, the one who single-handedly slaughtered the antimatter legion in the sky... the God of Slaughter?!

No, it's impossible.

Absolutely impossible!

Fu Xuan subconsciously dismissed the idea.

It wasn't because of the results of her divination using the Wonder Array.

Rather, it's because of... a hero who would disregard life and death to protect all living beings.

How could someone be a shameless loser who would abandon all dignity to avoid working overtime?!

The two people are completely different and have nothing in common.

How could it be the same person?

but……

If it wasn't him... how can we explain everything that just happened?

How do you explain Kafka and Kagami's attitude towards him?

Fu Xuan's mind was completely in chaos.

"Lord Fu Xuan, are you alright?"

A cavalry squad leader looked at Fu Xuan's ever-changing expression and asked with some concern.

"I'm fine." Fu Xuan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart.

She knew that now was not the time to dwell on these things.

Although Kafka and Kagami have temporarily stopped fighting, the crisis is not over.

These two women are like two unstable bombs, ready to explode again at any moment.

We must find a way to control them.

or……

Fu Xuan's gaze fell once again on the culprit on the roof, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Or perhaps if we can control this man... we can control both women at the same time?

Moreover, since they had that little girl who seemed to be from the Sky Ship Division with them, it was no surprise that they were the people from the Starry Sky Train that Jing Yuan had mentioned earlier, who were assisting in capturing Kafka.

Since that's the case... then it's reasonable for me to "ask" them for help, right?

Yes, it's definitely not to find out Lu Li's identity.

"Someone come here!" Fu Xuan pondered for a moment and then gave the order in a deep voice.

"exist!"

"Go, 'invite' that person down from the roof!"

She deliberately emphasized the word "please".

"yes!"

The Cloud Cavalry squad received the order and immediately surrounded the area where Lu Li and the others were located.

on the roof.

Lu Li was still immersed in the joy of "saving the world" and was completely unaware of the approaching danger.

"Lu Li, look down there!" March 7th suddenly tugged at his sleeve, her voice tinged with nervousness.

Lu Li looked down.

They saw that a portion of the Cloud Cavalry that had been surrounding Kafka had broken away and were now aggressively closing in on them.

The squad leader, who was in the lead, said in a deep voice.

"Listen up there! You're surrounded!"

"Put down your weapons immediately and surrender!"

Lu Li: "?"

No, brother.

Are you sure you're not targeting the wrong person?

If you're going to arrest someone, you should arrest the one below... or at least arrest the one next to me.

Why are you arresting us?

We are good citizens!

"Sir, is there some misunderstanding?" Lu Li tried to explain.

"Enough with the nonsense!" the squad leader sneered. "Lord Fu Xuan has ordered you to be 'escorted' away!"

Lu Li: "..."

please?

You call this an invitation?

The way you're acting is clearly that you want to tie us up!

and many more.

Did you just say "you"?

Lu Li paused for a moment, then subconsciously pointed to the three people on March 7th and the other side: "What about them?"

The squad leader glanced at March 7th, then looked away: "Lord Fu Xuan didn't say anything, so I won't interfere with them."

Lu Li: "..."
