She took out her phone and checked the time: "It's about time. The person I'm waiting for should be arriving soon."

Just as Ji Zi finished speaking, a girl with long brown hair, purple eyes, and more than a head shorter than Xing walked straight over to her. "I've only been away for a few months? Huh? And the space station has become like this?"

The girl is wearing a white puffy skirt, a purple and black coat, and a black beret on her head. There are purple flowers on the side of the beret as embellishments. Overall, she is a very cute girl.

"You're back, Black Tower."

After greeting the girl, Jizi introduced Xing: "This is the true owner of the space station, the 83rd seat of the Genius Club, the Black Tower."

Heita glared at Ji Zi with his hands on his hips, somewhat dissatisfied. "I'm introducing you properly, why mention the club? I have so many extraordinary achievements, and none of them is better than the 83rd seat?"

"So young!? It seems she really has achieved rejuvenation."

Alphonse stood up so suddenly that he almost dropped his helmet.

Edward shook his head and pointed at Heita's shoulders and knees:

"No, look at the joints there, this is a puppet."

"But the face and eyes are perfectly crafted, yet the joints are intentionally left looking like a doll. Is this some kind of special fetish?"

Edward guessed.

Although it is not as good as a real body, it is at least much stronger than the armor that currently fixes Alphonse. Edward is determined to get the puppet manufacturing technology at all costs.

……

"Great minds think alike. Turning yourself into a puppet is indeed the only way to achieve eternity."

The Red Sand Scorpion, hiding in the Scarlet Amber, nodded in approval at the Black Tower.

Sand Hidden Village.

Kankuro silently looked at his crows and black ants, then looked up at the black tower. The work he was once proud of now became a bit of an eyesore.

"It feels like there's more than one level difference."

[Xing looks at the joints on Heita's fingers with a puzzled expression: "Are you... a robot?"]

"The one you see is a puppet I made. I manipulate her to talk to you."

"It can actually be controlled remotely!?"

Kankuro could no longer control the volume of his voice, but luckily he was surrounded by puppeteers who were equally shocked and numb.

Because chakra strings are needed to control the puppets to fight, the puppeteers have to risk their lives to get close to the battlefield.

Therefore, a puppet that can be remotely controlled is the dream of every puppeteer.

It feels like the gap has gotten bigger.

[Heita looked at Xing with interest: "Now the 'Star Core' is this little brat? Hmph, then I must take a closer look."]

The Black Tower circled the star several times, marveling. "Hmph, this is truly amazing! To contain this unactivated star core and save the Azure Planet from disaster, I built an entire space station..."

"Someone has returned to basics and managed to do it using this little brat's body—how did they do it?"

[Himeko added: "And the 'star core' is very stable inside the star..."]

[“Yeah, this little guy’s physique is really strange…”]

Xing, feeling like she was being treated as something strange, frowned and objected, "Do you really have to discuss me in person? And my name is Xing."

"Okay, Xing, I get it. But I'll still call you brat. My brain is too precious to remember other people's names," Black Tower said nonchalantly.

"This brat is so arrogant."

Kiana was furious and felt sorry for Xingming.

"Thank you for remembering me." Jizi's tone was somewhat helpless.

"That's different. We have business dealings."

[Black Tower paused for a moment]

[“——What’s your name? Forget it, let’s talk about this little guy who can store a star core in his body…”]

"Can I do some research on her?"

[“I can’t make the decision on this. You have to ask her…”]

[Heita and Jizi look at Xing together]

Hearing the words "human experiment", a nameless anger rose from Kiana's heart:

"How could I possibly agree to this?"

Bronya stood beside Kiana and shared the same hatred for the enemy:

"That's right, human testing is absolutely not allowed!"

[The star in the sky calmly asked, "How much?"]

Heita nodded in satisfaction. "This kid has quite a bit of financial sense. I'm quite impressed."

Ji Zi came to Xing like a chick, saying, "Don't bully me too much."

Chapter 25 Come to my office

Although Black Tower tilted his head, he looked down at Xing with an air of superiority: "Thank you! I am willing to help you resolve the huge internal explosion. This is a service that the Interstellar Peace Company cannot even afford."

"From a universal perspective, if we want to solve the problem of the star core, the Black Tower is the best option in the short term."

Zhongli commented calmly.

"Hmm~"

Kurumi looked at Himeko who was standing between the black tower and the stars.

"Sister Jizi can still be trusted."

…………

"Ok!"

Kiana nodded affirmatively:

"Although Aunt Jizi is a drunkard and likes to hit people at every turn, she is still quite reliable."

"Stupid Kiana..."

Bronya's voice suddenly rang in her ears.

Feeling the lingering pain in her head, Kiana's body suddenly stiffened.

She carefully rolled her eyes and looked at Bronya. After the other party nodded imperceptibly, Kiana's whole body instantly became much darker.

"Gudu~"

Kiana swallowed, wiped the cold sweat that was running down her cheeks, and her neck slowly turned like a rusty gear.

The first thing that caught the eye was bright red long hair, followed by a graceful but sneering face.

"Ji...Jizi sister..."

Kiana scratched her head with a wry smile.

"You don't know to call me Sister Jizi, you just know that you are going to die!"

“Ah↘↗↘!”

…………

"If it's a beautiful girl like Ms. Heita, it's not impossible for her to be studied..."

On the deck, Sanji's eyes widened.

Zoro put down his dumbbells, scratched his ears, and looked disdainful:

"You're such a loser, you pervert."

Sanji was furious, jumped into the air and used a Knight Kick on Zoro:

"Green algae head, you want to fight? I'll beat you to death."

"Who is afraid of whom?"

"Do you understand, Xing? Black Tower wants you to stay in her space station." Ji Zi looked at Xing with a smile.

Black Tower waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, be serious: I'll only stay for a while—when I finish my research, or if I lose interest halfway through, this kid will have to leave."

"What happens next?"

"What does this have to do with me?" Heita asked confidently.

"This little brat has a really bad character."

Tatsumi frowned, indicating that he couldn't stand it.

The uncle driving the car in front just sighed:

"Then I advise you to give up the idea of ​​going to the imperial capital as soon as possible."

"The evil spirits in the imperial capital won't negotiate with you. Not to mention the reward, you might even lose your life."

…………

In the courtyard of the Ubuyashiki residence, Fuzukawa Sane suddenly spoke:

"As annoying as Tomioka Giyuu."

"?"

Tomioka Giyu turned his head in surprise.

…………

In the Great Sword World, Claire's expression remained unchanged.

Compared to the researchers she knew, Heita could be called a saint.

[Jizi gave Xing another choice, boarding the Star Train and embarking on a journey with them. The Star Train has been looking for a way to solve the problem of the star core.]

[If there is a need, Xing can return to the space station at any time to let Black Tower do research]

Heita nodded in satisfaction. "That's not bad. It helps keep things fresh. When I don't need this brat anymore, I don't have to worry about him."
