Collapse Iron: After watching the simulation, they all turned to the dark side.

Refusing to tell the truth? But Lu Qing guessed it wasn't anything nice, so naturally he couldn't ignore it.

"Are you really not going to consider telling me, Estádio?"

"I have nothing to say."

Lu Qing noticed her evasive gaze.

People are often like this, they are used to hiding their grievances in their hearts, and of course, this is also her freedom.

"Are you afraid I'll ask him? That's probably what you want, isn't it? If I knew what I was doing, I'd probably have to argue with her."

"Huh!? I didn't mean that. What I meant was, I... I'm just a newcomer, and I'm happy to see you occasionally."

Well, the girl is actually quite kind; Lu Qing actually felt a little sorry for her.

It's just that kind people are more easily hurt.

Lu Qing was also having a headache about Black Tower; it owed so much money that it was impossible to pay it back even a little bit.

And with this strange, inexplicable possessiveness, Lu Qing figured he wouldn't be able to have any female friends around him anymore.

I'll try to talk to him when I have time, but upon closer reflection, a stubborn genius like him probably won't care about what I say.

Before leaving, Lu Qing muttered one last thing.

"Next time you feel wronged, you can tell me. Troubles are different from joys. Joys can be shared and doubled, while troubles are only divided into one half."

Lu Qing paused, then added:

"Although there's nothing I can do, I can stand with you and feel frustrated. We're friends, aren't we?"

Lu Qing was about to leave when Aistar returned to her original position. She seemed to understand why the Black Tower lady had come specifically to warn her.

Who wouldn't want to possess such tenderness? She was certain that she didn't want to be limited to just friends; she wanted more, even if her opponent was the invincible Black Tower Lady.

She also wanted to make the kind of effort that only ordinary people make.

"Lu Qing, wait a minute."

"What's wrong?" Lu Qing, who had already reached the door, tilted her head slightly, revealing her flawless profile.

"Can I hug you?"

[March 7th: This is the kind of storyline I love to watch.]

[Star: This is a cow! I'm sure of it!]

[Silver Wolf: It's a pity Black Tower isn't online, otherwise it would be so much fun.]

A reassuring temperature, yet it's so delicate that you can't touch it without immediately moving away.

But she was greedy and wanted more.

Possessiveness multiplies and spreads like a virus, eventually disappearing without a trace.

Lu Qing was summoned to Black Tower's office again.

"Tomorrow, early in the morning, we'll set off tomorrow."

"Ms. Black Tower, may I ask what this strange object you are looking for is?"

"One, a wondrous object that can extend lifespan, most people call it the Infinity Mirror. Of course, I found this for you too. I don't need this thing, since you're a short-lived species."

"That's it, I understand."

All I can say is that she's rather arrogant.

Seeing that Heita had nothing else to do, Lu Qing quickly left, while Heita, who had been smiling, suddenly had a somewhat gloomy look in his eyes.

You philandering cat, will you remain unmoved by my advice?

Just now, Black Tower caught a familiar scent on Lu Qing's clothes.

It was absolutely unforgivable, but she didn't want to upset Lu Qing. He was definitely not wrong; if anyone was to blame, it was that shameless philanderer.

Estella, I'll deal with you properly when I get back.

Lu Qing and Hei Ta traveled to a planet called Yunmeng, where the Silver Tomb was the burial place of strange artifacts.

But countless adventurers, yearning for wealth and opportunity, have perished beneath the many traps of this once-resting place.

Chapter 28 Alice

Coordinates: Yunmeng Star.

"Are you two looking for a guide?" A somewhat timid voice came from not far behind.

Lu Qing, holding a black nylon umbrella, and the black tower turned around at the same time.

She was a petite woman of short stature, with a slightly wheatish complexion, suggesting she likely worked frequently under the sun.

The girl with the loli-like face wasn't surprised: "Yunmeng Star has always been like this. The fog covers the sky, and there's no signal in most areas. It's okay, I believe you're good people."

Hei Ta nestled under Lu Qing's umbrella to shelter from the rain, and asked casually, "So young and already working as a guide?"

This was a test of genius; she was intercepted in a desolate place, and Black Tower also wanted to test her skills.

“I’ve been a guide in Silver Ridge since I was ten years old, so I know this area very well.”

Lu Qing, perfectly in sync, picked up the conversation: "Ten years old? What about your mother?"

“I have no mother, and my father died that year.”

[Fireworks: Classics never die.]

[Fireworks: A Reenactment of the Scene.]

[Fireworks: March 7th: Where's your mother?]

[Fireworks: White Dew: I don't have a mother.]

[Fireworks: March 7th: Where's your dad?]

[Fireworks: White Dew: I don't have a father.]

[Star: No wonder I saw March 7th get up and slap himself in the face in the middle of the night that day.]

[Himeko: On another note, how did you see it?]

[March 7th: You, you, you, are spying on me!]

[Star: I'm not here to inspect, just to rummage through the trash.]

Do you still have family?

“I also have a younger brother who has scaly disease. I have been saving money to treat him.”

This clearly touched on Lu Qing's blind spot, so he looked at the Black Tower.

"This is a disease that can be contracted by prolonged exposure to damp and cold environments. The initial symptoms are itchy skin and the appearance of black spots. In the middle stage, the skin ulcerates, resembling black python scales. In the later stage, the whole body oozes pus, endangering life."

"Yes, that's right, this learned lady."

"My name is Heita. You should know who I am. If you don't, you can look up my information online."

"Black...black...black...Tower!!!" The loli-like girl was already stuttering a bit; this name was clearly very famous.

Lu Qing then coughed lightly: "You know, there's no disease that Ms. Black Tower can't cure. If you beg her, maybe..."

Hei Ta tilted his head and gave Lu Qing a reproachful look: "Alright, alright, you've been made the good guy, but if you're the one leading the way, then it's not impossible."

"Thank you, Ms. Black Tower and this young man. I am Alice."

"I am Lu Qing, the first stationmaster of the Black Tower Space Station."

Alice bowed slightly and then took a deep breath.

They're all big shots, Alice, you have to keep it up!

She couldn't help but clench her fists secretly.

"The Silver Tomb, a legendary envoy's tomb constructed of white mithril, is renowned for its long history, but no one has ever truly been able to breach it and reach its core."

On a small, covered boat, Alice pointed to the white outline at the far end of the great swamp and spoke.

"I will arrive." Black Tower's dark purple eyes were tinged with a faint, almost imperceptible red hue, a rarity in the past.

"Ms. Black Tower, is there anything inside that is important to you?"

"maybe."

"I've heard there's countless treasure inside, and rumors even say that if you can obtain all the treasures, you can become a renowned overlord throughout the galaxy," Alice added, her tone filled with longing.

“I’m not interested in these things,” Black Tower said absentmindedly.

“But I’m very interested.” Lu Qing raised his hand.

“No, I don’t think you’re interested.” Black Tower tilted his head slightly, sizing up Lu Qing.

Alice was somewhat confused: "Logically speaking, as the former stationmaster of the Black Tower Space Station, you shouldn't be short of money."

Black Tower retorted irritably, "Who knows? Maybe he'll leave me once he has money. Anyway, he didn't keep his promise last time."

Alice, being a shrewd person, quickly sensed that something was amiss. She quietly retreated behind Lu Qing, shielding him to her chest.

[March 7th: What a clever way of covering her chest! I almost thought she was going to say something good about Lao Qing.]

Chapter 29 Maze

The area surrounding the Silver Mausoleum is a maze, and no one knows how big it is, but Alice has a map of some of the routes, so she is quite safe.

Until Lu Qing saw a large treasure chest that looked like it was radiating golden light.

"I bet there's countless treasures inside!"

Black Tower looked at Lu Qing in disbelief.

"This is obviously a mimic monster, how could it possibly contain treasure?"

"No, as the saying goes, seeing is believing. I won't believe it until I open this treasure chest."

[Fireworks: Great Black Tower: Sometimes I really want to call the police.]

In the scene, Lu Qing was quickly swallowed whole by the mimic disguised as a treasure chest. If it weren't for Black Tower smashing the treasure chest to pieces with a single hammer blow, he would have been saved.

This one of the founders of the Black Tower space station is likely to die.

[Star: This is so Lu Qing, especially when it comes to being a money-grubber.]

Of course, these were just minor incidents.

Before long, Lu Qing and Hei Ta arrived at the end of the maze as recorded on the map.

"Why does the route end here?" Black Tower frowned slightly.

“Because everyone who went further in died.” Alice slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

"Let's see if that old man's setup can kill a Commander," Black Tower said confidently.

Alice pursed her lips and then said to Lu Qing, "Um, Mr. Lu Qing, is it convenient for us to talk about something?"

Lu Qing glanced at the black tower, whose ears were already perked up, and then nodded slightly.

"You say it."

"I know you are all very capable people, but I really don't have any ability to protect myself. If anything happens to me, please take care of my good-for-nothing younger brother. I beg you."

Lu Qingwei was slightly taken aback before responding.

"Okay, I can promise you."

Black Tower interrupted Lu Qing's answer: "Stop talking nonsense. Do you really think I'm just a roadside tower? You're a Wisdom Envoy, do you even know the value of an envoy?!"

[Star: I'm terrified, Lord Black Tower, I want to be your dog!!]

[March 7th: You can post any outrageous comments, but they may all be included in Honkai Impact 3rd - Star Railway.]

[Crydella: Although I don't really enjoy spending time on things unrelated to governance, I'm finding the livestream increasingly interesting, even somewhat addictive.]

[Haiserin: Is it addictive? I watch it every day and I don't feel anything.]

"Let's rest first, and head deeper tomorrow." After all, we've been traveling all day, and since we've come this far, let's eat first.

"Alright, speaking of which, it's been over eight hundred years since you last made pudding."
