Chapter 489

~3 min read 581 words

"Herta" Space Station.

Seemingly unaware of the gazes of Bai Xuan and the others, the man in blue still held his arms, staring motionless at Herta's portrait.

Just like Yoshikage Kira seeing the Mona Lisa.

"Strange, it should be right around here, could it be hidden in Ms. Herta's portrait……"

"Stelle" walked up curiously, stood on the other side of Herta's portrait, looked from top to bottom, from bottom to top, and didn't see anything wrong.

The only feeling was that the portrait of the person herself was ten times, or even nine times, better-looking than those puppets.

Bai Xuan looked at the man's ID tag.

【Leonard…… Network Security Engineer……】.

Perhaps he once had a friend named Klein……

Bai Xuan teased in his heart, pressed the monocle in front of his right eye, and walked up, openly admiring Herta's portrait.

Only then did Leonard realize there were people around, and he only raised his head slightly, then continued to stare at Herta:

"Hmm? Is there something? If you're looking for the front desk, just go straight out……"

"She is really beautiful." "Stelle" said so.

Bai Xuan repeated it.

The network security engineer's voice instantly changed from distant and repulsive to enthusiastic and friendly.

As if he had suddenly met a fellow otaku.

"Oh, another fan of Ms. Herta? Fine, feel free to admire it, but this portrait will be put away soon."

"Wait, I recognize you, I saw you chatting with Captain Arlan just now, you must be that new star who is highly regarded by Ms. Herta."

His gaze moved away from "Stelle" and fell successively on Bai Xuan, Dan Heng, and March 7th.

"You are…… you all seem to be the great heroes who saved the space station!"

Realizing that he had been a bit rude before, Leonard immediately turned around and faced them:

"Let me introduce myself first—Leonard, the network security engineer of this space station."

"My duty is to assist in repairing various equipment and restoring the space station's network security."

"However, during the repair process, I discovered some anomalies—access logs show that during the time the main control system was paralyzed, a third party other than the 'Legion' invaded here."

March 7th had a flash of inspiration and said firmly: "That seems to be our 'Astral Express'!"

Those who didn't know would think they had done something great.

Everyone: "……"

Bai Xuan rubbed March 7th's head dotingly:

"Don't say things that are not conducive to unity."

Leonard smiled politely:

"We suspect it's the 'Stellaron Hunters'."

"This group of people is elusive, very dangerous, and all of them are on the 'Corporation's' wanted list."

"Among them is a super hacker from Punklorde. To my shame, I've already suffered a loss at her hands—"

"A while ago, I discovered her tracks during the screening process and intended to follow the vine to find out the other party's background, but was countered and fell into her trap."

"Guess what happened later? She reverse-hacked my equipment, sent spam messages to a bunch of people, set up a game for the entire space station, and told everyone that a fool named Leonard had caused a big disaster……"

"Sigh, let's not mention it. Now that things have calmed down, I thought I would be held accountable, but Ms. Herta is magnanimous and actually allowed me to continue investigating this matter. It's truly a blessing in misfortune."

Explaining the cause and effect, Leonard excitedly introduced his little invention to the four of them.
