Starry Sky Railway: I Intruded with the Heart of God

"Besides beating me up, what else can you do?" the water demon asked.

Xing: "This is my true form."

Water Demon: "Hmm? Shouldn't your true form be a star core? It's actually something external?"

"You've been exposed." Xingmei had succeeded; she hadn't expected that just a few words would expose this guy.

"Damn it, you're asking for it!" the water demon roared in fury.

Xingmei looked at the furious water demon in front of her and said, "You're getting impatient, you're getting impatient."

Just as the water demon was about to attack Xing, Mo Li's figure instantly appeared in front of it, grabbing the water demon's transformed neck once again.

This scene shows Mo Li choking "Xing" by the neck, but the real Xing still feels some discomfort in her neck...

"Please... let me go..." the water demon tried to beg for mercy, but Mo Li was not one to be easily persuaded.

Flames rose from Mo Li's body, a mixture of black and red flames.

Before the alien water monster in his hand could beg for mercy again, he burned it back into liquid water, then took out an empty Caliban bottle and put it inside.

Mo Li said to Lamina, "Lamina, is there anything else you want to say?"

"I'm sorry, Mo Li, Xing... I am the accomplice who conspired with the Water Demon. I am willing to accept the punishment."

Xing asked Mo Li, "What are you going to do with her?"

"This concerns the operation of the space station, so discipline must be strict, and those responsible below must be held accountable. First and foremost, their team leader won't escape punishment." Mo Li's words were a bit too official...

Xing continued to ask, "What exactly happened?"

Lamina said, "You know me, you know what kind of person Lamina really is."

No talent. No portfolio. The only way to prove his worth is by doing odd jobs.

But if I work as an assembly line worker for the rest of my life, I can be true to myself, but I'll be letting my family down.

My family sacrificed everything to support me here, how can I repay them by... picking up trash?

I cannot, and I have no right to do so. Capote is the first stepping stone, the only one. Although I am dependent on him, it is still a respectable job under the jurisdiction of the Species Family.

I once thought that as long as I worked hard for him, I would at least have a chance to get ahead. Even without any achievements, I could at least persevere, right?

Until the water demon impersonated me, taking pleasure in teasing Capote and constantly outwitting him.

It was like a mirror, reflecting my utterly shameful state. So insignificant. So weak. So...powerless.

It was also like a treasure mirror, reflecting Lamina's ability to break free from the control of others and finally live like a human being.

For the first time, I realized that I was willing to trade a mediocre future for a carefree and unrestrained life.

So I let it all go. Until rumors spread that the clerks were harboring water demons, and they clamored for severe punishment for those who knew but didn't report it...

I just realized, what does my personal wish matter? I can be a lowly clerk, but the Black Tower can't drive me away.

I can't let my family's last hope for me be destroyed.

When I heard that someone had started investigating the water demon and its accomplices, I made up my mind to eliminate my rivals and protect myself.

I finally mustered the courage to be brave, but I never expected that our entanglements would cloud my judgment. If only it were someone else who came along.

"You're still stubbornly clinging to your delusions even now. Do you know that once things are exposed, you'll be going to jail?"

Being driven out by the Black Tower sounds better, but if you end up in jail, well, let's see how you explain that to your family.

"If it weren't us who came, but someone else, would he deserve to be framed by you?"

"I..." Lamina was speechless after hearing Mo Li's words.

Xing said, "You've misdirected your courage."

"Take another look at this letter. I wasn't sure before, but now that I think about it, it's just advising you to stop." Mo Li handed the letter to her again.

Lamina reread the letter and finally understood its true meaning.

"So... the people of Gaomi were trying to persuade me from the very beginning to give up my cooperation with the water demon and live my own life independently?"

Or rather, independence means not only getting rid of the water demon, but also Capote, and my own weakness.

So I understand now, although I understood a little late.

“It’s not too late to turn back now. Since you haven’t caused any major disaster, I can still plead for you. Of course, the price will be high,” Mo Li said.

“Really…is it possible? I’m willing to pay any price,” Lamina said firmly.

"That's good. Tell me everything you know about the Capotera gang, and also tell me about Capotera's abuse of power. Today I'm going to help Estádio reorganize the workplace on the space station."

If what you said is true, then you can atone for your crime through meritorious service. Don't embellish or falsely accuse innocent people.

Lamina nodded firmly and said, "I understand, thank you."

"Yes, opportunities have to be earned."

Mo Li took out her phone and sent a text message to Alan:

------------------------

Mo Li:

Alan, where are you now?

------------------------

Alan:

I'm in the main control section, what's wrong?

------------------------

Mo Li:

Xing and I captured the water demon and its accomplices.

------------------------

Alan:

Really? You guys are amazing, thank you so much!

------------------------

Mo Li:

Here's the thing: the accomplice wants to atone for her crime by reporting on factionalism on the space station and the abuse of power by Capote.

------------------------

Alan:

I understand. Take him to the defense section's interrogation room. I'll be there shortly.

------------------------

Mo Li:

Good

------------------------

"Let's go, now it's up to you to perform," Mo Li said to Lamina.

“Okay, I understand,” Lamina replied.

Xingmei held the bottle of Caleb in her hand and continued to provoke it.

After sending Lamina to the interrogation room, Alan handled the matter personally. Half an hour later, Alan took a document and said to Mo Li, "Mo Li, this has my official seal on it. Please take it and give it to Miss Estád."

"Okay." Mo Li gently took it and then left the department.

Alan said to Xing, "Xing, please deliver the 'Alien Water Demon' to Captain Wen Mingde. This is your reward."

Xing smiled and said, "I can't accept this..." while taking the credits.

Although Alan was naive, he knew that Xing was a little embarrassed, but he still had to collect the credits, since he wasn't short of money anyway.

Or rather... Alan didn't really understand credits either.

Main control warehouse segment, monitoring area.

Estella is still dealing with her work.

Mo Li slowly walked up behind Estella and softly called out, "Estella."

Estelle put down her work, turned around, and asked with a smile, "How's it going? Have you caught the water demon, or found any clues about it?"
