Xiao Xun snorted confidently, "I've already seen through it."
A kept a straight face, "I don't like talking to smart people."
Xiao Xun asked curiously, "Why?"
Unexpectedly, A said, "Because smart people die early."
Xiao Xun laughed, "The fact that you can say that shows you are the truly smart one. I've learned from you, but I don't plan to change for now, because I have the capital to do as I please."
"Haven't you heard that saying?"
Xiao Xun nodded, "You mean, don't get cocky now, or you'll pay later, right? Don't worry, it won't even reach autumn..."
A exclaimed, "Are you saying the end of Blue Star is inevitable?"
Xiao Xun waved his hand, "I'm saying my own end is inevitable."
With that, Xiao Xun went directly into the base and arrived at the door of the room where Liu Yue'e was being held.
"Is she still here?"
The two guards nodded, "Yes."
Xiao Xun pushed the door open and went in. Liu Yue'e was resting with her eyes closed. When Xiao Xun approached her, she opened her mouth and said, "How about it! Surprised, aren't you!"
"You knew all along?"
Liu Yue'e said confidently, "What's so difficult about that? Your analysis is much more thorough than mine."
Xiao Xun sighed. This elder sister in front of him was the true divine being. How formidable must her husband be to have two such powerful women infatuated with him.
"Although I didn't accomplish my mission, I still want to know, who can help me get to where I want to go."
Liu Yue'e closed her eyes and said, "Everything that defies the law is like a dream, a bubble. Why do you persist in this?"
"But that world is also full of lives!"
Liu Yue'e nodded, "Then allow me to ask Mr. Xiao, if you were an ant, and I were to pour a pot of boiling water onto an anthill teeming with ants, as an ant, what power would you have to stop me?"
Xiao Xun was momentarily speechless, and countered, "Is that the same? That world is full of living people, not ants. Moreover, everything I do is for justice, resisting a demon king."
"All beings are equal. Why don't you ask me why I want to pour water on the ants?"
Although Xiao Xun didn't want to discuss it, he still asked, "Why?"
"Because a thousand-mile dike can be destroyed by an ant's nest. By eliminating the ants, I protect more beings. Do you call me righteous or evil?"
Xiao Xun was bewildered, "This, this is completely different. The demon king destroys worlds just for fun, he has no objective. And besides," Xiao Xun thought for a moment, "why must you use boiling water to pour on the anthill? Why not let them move?"
"Move? Where can a colony of ants move to? They still live in the earth. And do you think anyone has the time to move ants on a dike every day? They would probably be laughed at by their own kind as fools!"
"Should we just let it be?"
Liu Yue'e nodded, "The rain and dew, all are heavenly grace!"
Xiao Xun banged the table, "Then what if I defy heaven?"
"An ant that has finally escaped, why would it want to return to that dangerous anthill? You can't change anything."
Xiao Xun gritted his teeth, "I am not an ant, and the demon king is not human. I am a creature with wisdom, thought, and emotion. I have seven emotions and six desires, I know pain when I'm hit, and I know grievance when I'm scolded. Based on this alone, I can never let others destroy my home. What I do in that world is the same as what I do in this world."
"Indeed, people are born to resist."
Xiao Xun opened the door and said to the guards at the door, "Escort the elder sister inside away!"
The guards took Liu Yue'e away, and Xiao Xun went to Su Xiang's office.
Su Xiang was sitting inside reading a newspaper. Hearing someone open the door without knocking, he put down his newspaper and stood up, "I guessed it was you. You're truly amazing, to actually find our boss."
Xiao Xun had a strange expression, "I have you to thank for this!"
Su Xiang quickly closed the office door, "You can't just say things like that. If something happens, that old lady will really kill."
He glanced at his watch and patted Xiao Xun's shoulder, "Let's go! There's a meeting again soon."
"Didn't you dislike me talking nonsense and tell me not to go?"
"Yes! But the key is that you've built the particle laser cannon. If you don't go, and they ask me, I won't know anything."
The two arrived at the conference room. Su Xiang pressed a button, and the number plate turned green.
At this moment, light number one flickered, "Number eight, where did your blueprints come from?"
Su Xiang turned the microphone directly to Xiao Xun and said in a very low voice, "Brother, they're asking you."
Xiao Xun grabbed the microphone stand, "It was our researchers who analyzed and developed it based on the imagery in the anime."
Su Xiang was stunned. This reason was too far-fetched!
As expected, number one was silent.
After a while, everyone else logged in, and many were asking about the situation of number six.
The person in charge of area number six said, "It has been assembled on the satellite, and the first shot has been test-fired. It can be launched successfully."
Xiao Xun's heart skipped a beat. He had forgotten about the test firing. In that case, if the cannon couldn't destroy the meteor with one shot, humanity would also suffer considerable losses.
Thinking of this, Xiao Xun pressed the call button, "Number six, do you have any spare parts there?"
"No. It took us a lot of effort to get these things and people to the satellite intact, so we didn't prepare spare parts."
Xiao Xun took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and followed these people. He would get heart disease sooner or later. "What about on the ground? Do you have them on the ground?"
"Yes."
Hearing this, Xiao Xun's hanging heart relaxed, but then it tightened again.
He heard the spokesperson for area number six say, "But we won't assemble them. The person who can assemble them has gone into space."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xun grabbed Su Xiang and walked out.
Outside the conference room, Su Xiang hurried to ask Xiao Xun, "What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"The cannon can only fire twice. One shot has been used, and I'm afraid one shot won't be enough to shatter the meteor."
Su Xiang told Xiao Xun to relax, "It's okay. When it enters the atmosphere, it will consume a lot, and when it lands on the ground, it shouldn't cause much damage."
"What if it doesn't slow down much?"
"Then what do you mean?"
"Immediately contact the boss and have our country's fastest fighter jets assemble the cannon and go to support, just in case."
"Are you crazy? Our country's fighter jets flying over another country's airspace is an act of provoking war."
Xiao Xun smiled, "That's true. Once the meteor falls, the world will be completely peaceful."
Su Xiang was stunned, his eyes rolled, "Okay, I'll go call the boss. You continue to attend the meeting."
With that, he slipped into the office.
When Xiao Xun entered the office, people from area number six were reporting the on-site situation.
"The particle cannon successfully hit the meteor, causing its descent speed to slow down and a large area of its surface to peel off. However, a larger part is still falling. The predicted impact location remains the same, and the estimated impact time is roughly controlled between ten in the morning and two in the afternoon."
Light number one flickered, "Why didn't you fire the second shot?"
