The autograph session was proceeding smoothly, and the idol and fans were having a great time. However, no one knew that danger was quietly approaching.
A loud alarm rang throughout the building, startling Luo Lingxing, who was signing autographs, and the fans waiting to see their idol. Some fans began to panic, and the originally orderly queue began to break apart, creating a noisy scene.
“What’s going on?” Luo Lingxing asked Xiao Ming, who was standing behind him.
“I’ll go take a look.” Xiao Ming’s expression turned serious, and he turned to find the person in charge of the art gallery.
“What’s going on? What happened? Why did the alarm suddenly go off?”
“I don’t know. Could something have happened?”
“No way. We can’t be that unlucky, right?”
“So what should we do now?” Do we have time to leave?”
“But it’s almost our turn. Everything should be alright, right?”
“If something really happens, of course saving your life is the most important thing. Why would I need a signature?”
“Everyone, don’t panic. Calm down, and don’t let the situation become more chaotic,” Li Shuqi suddenly shouted to the fans.
The bodyguards were trying their best to maintain order, but they weren’t good at calming down the fans, so it was most appropriate for Li Shuqi and her group to step in.
However, the panicked fans couldn’t hear these words at all.
“Don’t panic, everyone. Brother Xiao has already gone to ask what happened. Don’t panic, and don’t hurt yourselves,” Luo Lingxing said, standing up as well.
His voice was gentle and soothing, carrying a wide range of sounds, even though it wasn’t loud. Almost all the fans downstairs heard it. Under Luo Lingxing’s reassurance, the restless fans gradually quieted down.
Not long after, Xiao Ming entered with a dark complexion, along with several leaders from the art gallery. All of whom wore expressions of panic.
“That was a fire alarm. There’s a fire on the fifth floor, and it’ll spread to the sixth floor very quickly. We need to evacuate immediately, or everyone will be in danger.” Xiao Ming quickly explained the situation, though he was also feeling incredibly nauseous inside.
He never expected that a fire would break out in an art gallery that had always been safe otherwise. Every time he held a signing event, the place was packed with people, so he usually chose to hold it in a place with a high safety factor to avoid accidents. Otherwise, if something happened, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The reason Xiao Ming and his team chose this location was because the art gallery had a very high safety rating. It housed many priceless exhibits by famous artists, and any loss of even a small piece would be heartbreaking. Naturally, they wanted to prevent all kinds of accidents, especially fires.
However, Xiao Ming never expected that a fire would break out in the most fire-prepared area, especially on the day of Luo Lingxing’s autograph session. If the fans weren’t evacuated in time, the consequences would be extremely serious. “Fire?” Luo Lingxing frowned, and for some reason, the face of that middle-aged woman suddenly appeared in his mind. But now Luo Lingxing clearly didn’t have time to think about it anymore, because black smoke was already billowing out, indicating that the fire on the fifth floor was more serious than he had imagined.
The fans, who had been calmed down, were now in complete chaos. Screams, footsteps, and cries for help filled the entire sixth floor and even the area below.
“Luoluo, let’s hurry, or the fire will spread,” Xiao Ming said anxiously to Luo Lingxing.
Looking at the chaotic scene of fans not far away, Luo Lingxing asked, “What about the fans?”
“Someone will handle them.” Xiao Ming couldn’t care less about anything else now. He couldn’t let Luo Lingxing get into danger. Absolutely not. Otherwise, Han Junzhan would definitely tear him apart. Besides, he didn’t think Luo Lingxing could be of much help if he stayed here alone.
“No, I can’t leave first. I have to make sure all the fans are safe before I leave. Brother Xiao, you go with those people first, I’ll be there soon,” Luo Lingxing said firmly.
He wasn’t afraid of fire, and he might even be of help here. If he left, he’d never have peace of mind for the rest of his life.
Seeing Luo Lingxing’s expression, Xiao Ming knew he was serious, so he hardened his heart and said, “If you don’t leave, I won’t leave either.”
“Brother Xiao, you can’t help here. You should leave first. I’ll take everyone down soon,” Luo Lingxing said to Xiao Ming.
He would be helping the fans evacuate. He could ensure his own safety during this time, but he cannot guarantee that he will have time to take care of Brother Xiao and the others. So Brother Xiao was just a hindrance here.
However, Xiao Ming was unaware that he was seen as a burden by Luo Lingxing. All he knew was that he couldn’t leave Luo Lingxing alone.
Time was running out, and Luo Lingxing couldn’t continue talking to Xiao Ming. Since he wanted to follow, so be it. At worst, he would just keep an eye on him occasionally.
Because there were so many fans attending the autograph session, the entire stairwell was blocked. What was originally a safety passage in case of an accident had now become a death trap preventing everyone from escaping. Many timid fans started crying. Everyone was pushing and shoving, and quite a few people even fell to the ground and couldn’t get up, and were trampled underfoot by others.
Luo Lingxing suddenly stood on the autograph table. This time, he didn’t control his volume and tried his best to let more people hear his voice.
“Everyone, please don’t crowd or panic. Please line up in an orderly fashion to leave. Fans downstairs, please don’t push or shove. Be mindful of the safety of those around you. Everyone will be fine.” Luo Lingxing’s voice echoed throughout the entire floor. Hearing their idol’s voice, everyone’s previously agitated hearts calmed down a little.
However, only a little bit. None of us have experienced anything like this before, so it was normal to panic at first. But in this situation, the more panicked they were, the more serious the consequences would be.
“We can’t panic! Luoluo is still inside. Luoluo hasn’t come out yet. Luoluo is still with everyone. If everyone continues to crowd together like this, no one will be able to get out, and Luoluo won’t be able to be saved. Don’t you all want to see Luoluo again?” Li Shuqi shouted loudly, not caring about her image or her hoarse voice.
“Dear fans, with Luoluo here, we’ll definitely be alright,” Han Xin’er reassured the fans around her.
“Really? Can we all get out safely?” a girl asked, her voice trembling with tears.
“That’s right. Believe in ourselves, and believe in Luoluo. Everything will be alright,” Li Shuqi quickly reassured her.
Actually, she wasn’t sure herself. But no matter what, everyone had gathered here because they liked Luo Lingxing. She hoped that Luo Lingxing’s name could give them some strength and help them calm down. Otherwise their chances of escaping would decrease.
The fire was spreading more rapidly than they had imagined. Flames were now visible from the sixth floor. The fans, who had calmed down somewhat because of Li Shuqi and Luo Lingxing’s words, became agitated again.
Luo Lingxing frowned deeply as he watched the fans crowding into the stairwell. If this continued, he feared no one would be able to leave.
Luo Lingxing looked around, trying to find other escape routes, but because of the autograph session, all the other safety exits were blocked. As the only safety exit, it was also blocked by fans, so it was completely useless.
Suddenly, Luo Lingxing’s gaze fell on the large floor-to-ceiling window beside him. He jumped off the table, ran to the window, and looked down at the art gallery’s courtyard. The space was quite large and there were no fans around. After thinking for a moment, Luo Lingxing smashed open a fire extinguisher device on the wall and slammed it against the floor-to-ceiling window.
The sound of breaking glass was loud, attracting the attention of many people. For a moment, everyone forgot about the approaching fire and their panic, and just stared blankly as Luo Lingxing broke the glass.
“What is Luoluo doing?” The glass was special. It can’t be broken.”
“If I could break the glass, I would have jumped out the window long ago,” one fan said.
“Jump down? Are you crazy? This is the sixth floor!” Another fan was extremely surprised. She had never thought of jumping out of the window. This was the sixth floor. If she jumped, she would be turned into a meat patty.
“What else can we do? Staying here is just waiting to die. Jumping might offer a sliver of hope.”
“Then… Luoluo…” The people around her were tempted upon hearing this, and their feet unconsciously moved closer to Luo Lingxing. They thought that if Luoluo could break the window, maybe they could jump down from there too, even though it was the sixth floor. It was quite high up.
Just as everyone’s thoughts were wandering, the sound of glass snapping came from behind.
Although the glass here was made of special materials, and an ordinary person might not be able to break it, Luo Lingxing used his spiritual power, and the glass quickly developed cracks.
The window was smashed open, much to the delight of many fans, who felt as if they had seen a glimmer of hope for survival.
“Don’t come any closer!” Luo Lingxing shouted sternly at the fans who were trying to run over.
This was the first time Luo Lingxing had used such a stern voice to address his fans, leaving them stunned and unable to take another step forward.
Luo Lingxing stood by the window, then took out the space button that he always wore around his neck and released the mecha inside. He placed it on the open ground below.
The mecha was incredibly tall. The sixth floor only reached the mecha’s neck. He had just scolded the fans because he was worried that if they got too close, the mecha might accidentally pull them off the building, and then the fans would have no chance of survival.
Luo Lingxing jumped onto the mecha’s shoulder and then entered the mecha’s cabin. Before leaving, he used his spiritual power to create a barrier on the window to prevent fans from panicking and jumping out of the window.
The fans watched in disbelief as their idol jumped into the mecha and left the sixth floor of the art gallery. Many stared wide-eyed in disbelief, and some even burst into tears.
Their idol, the idol they idolized, abandoned them at this very moment and boarded a mecha.
In that instant, many fans felt their hearts turn cold and ache. It was a pain worse than being burned by fire. The feeling of being abandoned was truly awful.
Many fans rushed to the window, wanting to jump down, but found that they couldn’t. The window had been smashed open, so why couldn’t they take another step forward?
