The Inherently Evil Stellaron Hunter Brat

Soon, Screwllum and Herta finalized the plan.

Then, Screwllum turned around, his gaze falling on Bai Luoming, who had been silent all along, and spoke.

"Mr. Bai Luoming," Screwllum's tone was as gentle and gentlemanly as ever, "Would you be interested in joining me in this Simulated Universe for this operation?"

Before Bai Luoming could speak, Herta, who was standing next to him, decisively rejected Screwllum's suggestion.

"No."

Herta slightly raised his chin, reached out and pulled Bai Luoming closer to him, and said in a firm tone.

He's not allowed to go anywhere; he has to stay here.

Herta didn't actually necessarily want to keep Bai Luoming by her side; the main issue was that she had already confirmed Silver Wolf was a reincarnated being. If she let Bai Luoming enter the Simulated Universe, what difference would it make from sending a lamb to the slaughter?

Anyone trying to take advantage of her? Not a chance. She's welded the windows shut too.

We absolutely cannot let that brat have his fun.

Screwllum was slightly surprised by Herta's reaction. He bowed slightly, his tone tinged with regret.

"It's truly regrettable. To be honest, I'm very curious about what makes Mr. Bai so special that Ms. Herta is so captivated by him, even to the point of breaking her own behavioral logic. I had hoped to take this opportunity to observe him more closely..."

Before Screwllum could finish speaking, Herta abruptly interrupted him.

"There's nothing to regret. You'll understand later."

Listening to the two geniuses' back-and-forth conversation, Bai Luoming felt as if he had become some kind of hot commodity, being fought over by the two of them.

He wisely chose to keep his mouth shut and play the role of a mute.

Just then, the office's automatic doors slid open to both sides with a soft "beep".

Xing strode into the office, her gaze sweeping around before locking onto Bai Luoming beside Herta.

Xing crossed her arms, walked to his side, and spoke.

"Hey, isn't this the space station's newest headline-grabbing male protagonist?"

She clicked her tongue in admiration twice and teased him.

"Wow, that's impressive, bro. I didn't expect you to have accomplished such a feat so soon after arriving at this space station, dominating the leaderboards."

As Xing spoke, she deliberately moved closer, lowered her voice, and continued to deliver the finishing blow to Bai Luoming.

"So that's why you were acting like a mouse seeing a cat outside, all guilty and desperate to avoid anyone. Turns out you were afraid people would call you a jerk!"

Bai Luoming helplessly raised his hand to his forehead, feeling his social reputation rapidly dwindling to zero.

"I told you, I was set up." He gritted his teeth and emphasized in a low voice, "I'm the victim!"

"Alright."

Herta's cool voice rang out at just the right moment, interrupting the two's banter.

She ignored Bai Luoming's explanation and instead called Xing to her side, revealing the truth about the trip.

"Young lady, your trip to the space station wasn't actually because of Arlan's gratitude, was it?"

"Actually, it was Silver Wolf from the Stellaron Hunters who used Arlan's name to lure you here from Belobog."

She paused, watching the smile on Xing's face gradually freeze, before continuing to add.

"Furthermore, she's been using you the whole time, using your actions to gather information about the cassette tape, and perhaps even other information as well."

Hearing Herta's words, Xing's expression was somewhat taken aback.

Several seconds passed before she realized what was happening, and she was so angry that she started trembling all over.

"No wonder!"

Xing clapped his hands and said through gritted teeth.

"So that's how it is! No wonder I found Arlan. Arlan said he didn't know anything about it, which put me in a really bad situation! What a born evil Stellaron Hunters brat!"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and her pretty face flushed red.

Silver Wolf: Huh? You're acting like you weren't a Stellaron Hunters before? Don't think that joining the train will make you a Stellaron Hunters!

Bai Luoming stood aside, watching Xing's exasperated yet helpless expression of frustration, and couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy.

He tried desperately to suppress the corners of his mouth, but his shoulders began to tremble uncontrollably. Finally, he simply turned away, pretending to admire the scenery.

No, I'm going to burst out laughing if I keep watching.

Watching others suffer setbacks is indeed one of life's greatest pleasures.

Herta ignored Star's anger; that was exactly the effect she wanted.

Seeing that the emotional buildup was in place, she calmly and deliberately threw out the bait she had prepared beforehand.

"Now, a perfect opportunity has arrived."

She looked at the stars and continued.

"You can enter the Simulated Universe and personally disrupt Silver Wolf's plans. Are you in?"

Although Xing was angry, she hadn't let her anger cloud her judgment.

Hearing Herta's words, her eyes darted around, and she instantly realized that Herta wanted her to work. She immediately snapped out of her angry mode, put her hands on her hips, raised her chin high, and said proudly.

Beg me.

Bai Luoming had just managed to suppress a smile, but when he heard Xing say those two words, he almost broke down again.

As expected of you, Xing. You always manage to say something unexpected in places like these.

However, to everyone's surprise, Herta didn't hesitate for even a second and spoke directly to Star.

Please.

"..."

Now it was Xing's turn to be dumbfounded.

She truly hadn't expected Herta to say something like that so easily. She had only intended to be cheeky, but now it seemed like things were going to turn out unexpectedly...

Xing's face flushed red, and finally she could only grit her teeth and say, "Okay... deal!"

Screwllum stepped forward at the opportune moment and bowed slightly to Xing.

"Well then, Ms. Nameless, please allow me to assist you in accessing the Simulated Universe. I will provide you with the necessary guidance and technical support."

Xing nodded, then turned to Bai Luoming, who was trying hard to suppress a laugh, and asked in confusion, "By the way, isn't he coming in with me? More people means more help."

Screwllum looked at Herta, and seeing that he had no intention of explaining, he spoke on his behalf, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Bai Luoming will not be participating in this test."

Xing followed the direction Screwllum was looking and looked at the Herta, meeting its unwavering gaze.

She understood immediately.

Xing shrugged helplessly and made a gesture of resignation towards Bai Luoming.

"Okay, looks like I'll have to solo the dungeon by myself."

Seeing that Xing agreed, Screwllum began to guide Xing into the Simulated Universe. Soon, under Screwllum's control, a gentle stream of data covered Xing's body.

The next second, Xing's body went limp, as if all the bones had been removed.

With a "thud," he landed face-first on the cold, hard floor, making a dull thud.

Bai Luoming looked at Xing's corpse lying on the ground, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

"Are the methods for entering the Simulated Universe this crude now? I remember there was a hibernation pod when we tested it before?"

Herta waved his hand, showing no surprise at Xing's fate, as if what had fallen was nothing more than an insignificant thing.

"The last time we had a test chamber was due to special circumstances."

She glanced at the stars on the ground and continued.

"Besides, this kid isn't that delicate; he's quite sturdy. A fall won't hurt him at all."

"All right."

Bai Luoming quickly accepted Herta's explanation; after all, it wasn't him who fell.

Xing: How could you be so selfish!

As Xing entered the Simulated Universe, Screwllum also entered the Simulated Universe and guided Xing. After that, the office became completely quiet.

Before Bai Luoming could even process what he was seeing, he felt the Herta silently approaching him.

He felt Herta's face close to his shoulder, carrying Herta's pleasant scent.

He instinctively turned his head.

At this moment, Herta's captivating purple eyes were fixed intently on him, not blinking.

Herta's eyes were deep, his reflection shimmering in his pupils, as he spoke softly.

"Honey."

Herta's voice was very soft, and his breath fell on Bai Luoming's ear as he spoke, bringing a moist sensation.

Now, it's just the two of us left...

She tilted her head slightly, a faint smile curving her lips, and continued in her gentle tone:

"Now can you tell me what you meant by 'being set up' before?"
