Why Make Enemies of the Stars? (Continued)

The Pink Fairy were vying for attention, while the girl with long, straight black hair kept asking questions, and Bai Ge had to deal with both of them at the same time.

He was both amused and exasperated. Although Elysia was sitting in the middle, it felt as if he was the one being squeezed in.

However, it's not hard to understand why Elysia would react this way, since Mei actually tried to steal her travel companion.

Elysia simply imagined that after Bai Ge was taken away, she would continue her journey alone, and then... die alone and lonely!

Moreover, Bai Ge treated Mei much more kindly than he treated ordinary people, which made Elysia feel even more threatened.

According to her observations, Bai Ge treated Mei with a full 30% more tenderness and consideration than she did! All the goodwill she, this Pink Fairy, had worked so hard to cultivate over the years had been easily surpassed by Mei's 30%!

Aili: "May, friend or foe, choose!"

Bai Ge: "Calm down, Aili, you're overthinking it."

Bai Ge quickly calmed the girl down, feeling somewhat helpless. After all, the reason he was gentler with Mei was simply because her face looked so much like Mei's!

After time travel, he hadn't seen his beloved Mei for more than three years. Now, there was a girl in front of him who looked exactly like Mei, and she was even in loli form!

Bai Ge subconsciously went along with Mei Yi's suggestion.

However, Mei only coveted the knowledge in his mind, not his body, so Bai Ge would not refuse such a request, neither emotionally nor logically.

After all, the person in front of them is the strongest scientist of future humanity, even compared to all living things on Earth, and even considering possible future evolution.

Mei's intellectual level remains among the highest.

Allowing her to grow up as quickly as possible is itself a powerful counterattack against the Honkai.

"Aili, don't worry, I won't leave you. And Mei too, don't read while you're eating noodles. You're so young and you're already wearing glasses... I'll teach you later."

"Oh, it's settled then."

"Okay, I understand."

Elysia and Mei finally settled down.

Bai Ge also breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at the untouched, soggy noodles in front of him and felt utterly exhausted.

The other customers in the store felt an urge to applaud.

Wow, that's amazing! At such a young age, he can already control the chaotic situation. What will he be like when he grows up?

Su, sitting opposite him, also showed an expression of admiration, while Kevin had a gloating and irritating look on his face... Bai Ge wanted to stick the chopsticks in his hand into the guy's nostrils.

Over the past few days, they've gotten to know each other well, and their relationship is good enough to be called friends.

However, the three of them also knew that Bai Ge and Elysia would not stay in Changkong City for long, so they made the most of their time to find the two of them to go out and play every day... However, Mei always invited them to the library.

"After we finish eating, let's find a high place to look at the stars. I heard there might be a shooting star tonight!"

Kevin suggested that, unlike the madmen of the Current Civilization, he was really playful at this time, worthy of being the source of the Kaslana bloodline, a true human-shaped husky!

"If there are shooting stars, it's definitely worth seeing. Aili, I'm sure you'd be interested too."

"Of course! I need to think carefully now about what wish I should make later."

"Tianwen observation? I'm also a little interested in that," Mei said, wiping her glasses, which had fogged up from the heat, with a tissue.

"Hey? Mei, wouldn't it be better to go home and do the topics you like?" Elysia said, pouting.

"I can provide professional Tianwen telescopes."

"Welcome to the team, Mei! Let's go stargazing together!"

"Aili ..."

Bai Ge sighed and pinched the girl's cheek.

However, he knew that Elysia didn't dislike Mei.

If it weren't for May's constant attempts to keep her as her tutor, given Aili's socially terrorist personality, she would definitely have turned May into her best friend by now.

Aili: (As long as you don't steal my Bai Ge, we're best friends.)

Mei: (Sorry, Elysia, but Bai Ge smells so good! Bestie, please share!)

Aili: (Eat my Pink Fairy flying kick!)

In conclusion, the problem actually lies with Bai; he is the one who turned two girls who should have been best friends into this situation.

Bai Ge: (Eh~ My irresistible charm!)

After finishing their ramen, the group took the Mei family's Tianwen to a tall building to admire the Stars in the night sky... well, there wasn't anything particularly special to see.

Kevin and Sue didn't have a particular fondness for the starry sky. Although Bai Ge wanted to ride the Astral Express, that was still a long way off. Elysia, on the other hand, really liked it.

However, what was truly surprising was Mei.

She was the most attentive among those present.

But not from an appreciative perspective.

The girl's gaze was sharp as she surveyed every Stars in the sky, as if she were looking at one enemy after another.

"Mei, why are you looking at the stars like that? Do you have a grudge against the stars?" Kevin asked tentatively.

Mei chuckled and shook her head. After a moment of silence, she said, "I'm sorry, that's just my prejudice."

"Prejudice? Towards the stars?"

Everyone was taken aback.

"Yes, one night in the past, I happened to look up at the starry sky and suddenly had a strange feeling."

Mei pushed up her glasses and said.

"At that moment, I felt as if I wasn't looking up at the stars, but rather the stars were looking down at me. Under the vast Milky Way, I was so small, humanity was so small, and everything became insignificant in that instant!"

"At that moment, I immediately had a thought: I believe that every star in the sky is our enemy."

Looking up at the boundless starry sky, Mei's eyes were filled with determination, as if this were the truth.

Upon hearing this, all three people present widened their eyes in surprise, their expressions showing disbelief.

"Mei, I never expected you to be so childish."

Kevin said very frankly.

"Middle, middle two..."

Hearing this guy's self-deprecating assessment, Mei's lips twitched, and black lines appeared on her forehead. She definitely didn't want to be described like that by this silly husky.

(Sigh~)

Mei turned her head away slightly and sighed inwardly.

She had said this to others before, such as her father, teachers, and classmates, but everyone's reaction was the same: surprise, confusion, and doubt.

Some people mocked her for overestimating herself, some praised her rich imagination, and some even said she should see a neurologist.

It can only be said that geniuses are always lonely and isolated, especially for a peerless genius who has not yet fully matured and has not yet proven himself to the world.

Ordinary people cannot agree with her ideas, nor can they understand her philosophy. For Mei now, all she can do is keep that endless inspiration and whimsical thought hidden in her heart, waiting for the time when she is fully grown before revealing them.

However, just when Mei felt that this was all she could do.

"Well said, humanity should indeed be wary of the stars."

"Bai Ge?"

Mei turned her head in surprise to look at the boy who had approved of her "nonsense." She saw that Bai Ge's gaze was full of admiration and approval as he looked at her, and he even clapped.

"Bai Ge, you... can you understand...?"

Mei's heart raced as she asked that question.

Her gaze was fixed on the boy in front of her, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation. Mei couldn't help but wonder if Bai Ge, who had a knowledge level that surpassed her own, could give her a different evaluation than she had ever received before.

Bai Ge did not disappoint her at all.

"Of course, humans imagine the starry sky to be too beautiful, and always deliberately ignore the dangers in it. They even once sent a record containing information about Earth into the universe, hoping to make friends with unknown cosmic civilizations."

This is a romantic and positive act, but from another perspective, it can also be called a foolish and self-destructive behavior.

"Reality and imagination are different, just like the moon and the moon are two different concepts. The former symbolizes reunion, chastity, purity, love and beauty. However, these are just meanings that humans have arbitrarily given. In reality, the moon is just a satellite with craters of all sizes, a desolate and lifeless place."

Bai Ge shook his head and sighed as he looked at the bright moon in the night sky.

Elysia and the others fell silent, because Bai Ge's tone made it sound as if he had been to the moon, no, to the moon, and had seen that desolate and lifeless planet with his own eyes.

Mei's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and just then Bai Ge suddenly looked at her and asked.

Have you heard of the Dark Forest Law?

"Um, what's that?"

"That was a hypothesis that the universe is like a dark forest, and every civilization is an armed hunter. Everyone is like a ghost lurking in it, carefully watching other hunters. Once they discover someone else, they will immediately shoot them to ensure their own safety."

"!!!" x4

Elysia, Mei, Kevin, and Sue all felt a chill run down their spines at that moment.

When they looked up at the Stars in the night sky again, the moment no longer felt as beautiful as before.

"My God, these laws are so cold and ruthless."
