Collapse Iron: My Past Life Revealed, I Was Everyone's White Moonlight

Chapter 86 Micro-expression Psychology

Upon hearing the names "Topa" and "Golden Sands," Lu Li's eyelids twitched involuntarily.

For some reason, he had an even worse premonition.

Lu Li was very familiar with these two names.

Toppa, one of the ten members of Stoneheart, is a woman who always talks about "profit" and "performance".

Sand Gold, also one of the Ten Hearts, is a madman who likes to treat life as a gamble.

Neither of these two is someone to be trifled with.

Now, the two of them are actually coming to me as a group to "discuss cooperation"?

Lu Li knew even with his toes that this was definitely not a good thing.

"Sister Himeko, could you... say I'm not here?" Lu Li looked at Himeko with his last glimmer of hope.

"What do you think?" Himeko asked with a smile.

"..."

Well, it seems like it's hopeless.

Lu Li slumped on the sofa, feeling as if the whole world had turned gray.

He's like a little chick being targeted by two weasels.

They couldn't run away, and they couldn't win a fight.

They could only watch helplessly as they were taken away and turned into "performance" and "bargaining chips".

"Why...did it turn out like this...?"

He clearly only wanted to be a logistics worker, coast along, and retire peacefully.

As a result, his so-called "past life" was first exposed by an unreliable system.

Then, a group of imaginative netizens hailed her as the "pure love god who faked her death."

Then the old-fashioned logistics positions were gone, and people were forced to go to the front lines to develop the front lines.

Now, even a behemoth like Interstellar Peace Corporation has its eye on him and wants to "cooperate" with him.

His life plan for being a salted fish has completely gone off track, heading headlong in a direction he could never have predicted.

"well……"

Lu Li sighed deeply, feeling utterly exhausted.

March 7th leaned over and poked his cheek: "Being famous is clearly a good thing, so why do you look like you've given up on life?"

Lu Li silently reached out and slapped her hand away.

Is fame a good thing?

That applies to normal people.

For a lazy bum like him who just wants to lie down, fame means—working overtime.

"Speaking of which, Lu Li, weren't we amazing this time?"

March 7th, unperturbed by the slap in his hand, seemed to remember something and proudly declared, hands on his hips, "We not only sealed the Star Core, but we also rescued that Great Guardian!"

"Isn't it amazing?"

"Hmm, impressive, impressive, as expected of you." Lu Li clapped perfunctorily and opened a can of cola.

March 7th: "..."

March 7th snatched the cola from Lu Li's hand with dissatisfaction. "You're being too perfunctory... Hmm, this cola is actually quite good?"

Lu Li: "..."

Not the eldest sister.

There's a whole bunch of Coke in the fridge, why don't you just grab the ones I've already drunk from?

Just then.

"Lu Li".

Perhaps their conversation reminded her of something.

Xing appeared in front of him without him noticing, her golden eyes fixed on him without blinking.

"Speaking of which... how did you know?"

"What do you know?" Lu Li asked, puzzled, and snatched the cola back from March 7's hand.

"I know Cocolia is problematic, and I know the Star Core can bewitch people." Xing took a step forward, almost touching Lu Li's face.

"Everything you warned us about in the initial communications has come true."

"If you hadn't told us beforehand to 'be careful of that mother,' I wouldn't have become wary of Cocolia so quickly."

"And that phrase, 'Beware of auditory hallucinations in the star core,' immediately helped me grasp the crux of the problem when facing Cocolia's questioning!"

"I've wanted to ask this question for a long time..."

Xing became more and more excited as she spoke, her eyes filled with admiration.

"Lu Li, can you... foresee the future?"

"puff--"

Lu Li spat out the half-bottle of cola that he had just salvaged from March 7th.

Predict future?

I?

Miss Xing, do you have some huge misunderstanding about me?

I've only read the script; I don't have that kind of advanced ability.

If you want to know about the future, go find the leader of the Star Core Hunters named Elio, don't come looking for me.

"Cough cough cough..." Lu Li coughed incessantly because he was choked, and San Yueqi quickly came over to pat his back.

"Xing, don't get so excited, look how scared Lu Li is," March 7 said while patting him. "But speaking of which..."

"Lu Li, you really did pull off a miracle this time."

"If you hadn't reminded us, we probably would have been completely fooled by that Cocolia."

Even the usually taciturn Dan Heng cast a scrutinizing glance at him.

Although he didn't speak, his eyes clearly said: I'm curious too.

Surrounded by three people, Lu Li suddenly felt immense pressure.

He can't exactly say he had a cheat code or that he saw the plot in advance, can he?

Wouldn't they be treated like monsters, captured, and dissected for research?

"That...it's purely a coincidence, a coincidence." Lu Li wiped his mouth, chuckled dryly, and waved his hand. "I just have a pretty good intuition, it's just a guess."

"Who knew we'd actually guessed right?"

"Intuition?" Xing tilted her head, clearly not believing it.

After all, who has such accurate intuition that they can even guess the details?

"Yes, it's intuition." Although he could feel Xinghu's suspicious gaze, Lu Li could only bite the bullet and continue making things up.

"Think about it, when I was in logistics, the thing I did most was observe."

"For example, observing everyone on the train, whether Pam is happy today, how much coffee Himeko has left, and so on."

"Over time, won't your observation skills develop?"

"With more people observing, one can naturally deduce things from subtle expressions and movements."

"This is called...yes, micro-expression psychology!"

"Yes, that's it... um, I think."

After speaking, Lu Li glanced at Xing and March 7, feeling a little uneasy.

Isn't this explanation a bit too far-fetched...?

Then--

Lu Li saw that Xing's eyes shone even brighter after hearing this.

"So that's how it is!" Xingyi clapped her hands in sudden realization. "Being able to predict others' behavior and even deduce future trends through observation... Lu Li, you're amazing!"

March 7th nodded vigorously: "I knew it!"

"Lu Li, how could you possibly be a useless bum? You're definitely more reliable than anyone else when it matters!"

"What's that called again...right, feigning foolishness with great wisdom!"

Dan Heng: "..."

Lu Li: "..."

No, how could you actually believe that?

And he even had an "Oh, I see, I've learned something" expression on his face?

Should he be happy now, or worried about the future of these two girls?

Lu Li fell into deep thought.

He realized that these two now believed he was a hidden master with unparalleled strength.

The more I explained, the more they imagined it.

That being the case.

Then he...

"...Fine, think what you want." Lu Li gave up struggling and slumped onto the sofa.

He had an expression that said, "I'm tired, let's destroy it."

"The food is on the table, eat by yourself, and remember to wash the dishes when you're done. I'm going to watch a movie, don't bother me."

Done.

Lu Li put on his headphones and turned the volume up to the maximum, completely isolating himself from the world.
