How... how was that possible...?
"You'd guessed it long ago already, hadn't you?"
Huo Gu's tone remained unchanged, as though he was utterly certain of some fact.
"Back when I first lost control of my emotions and told you some of my information, you should have realized that I was it—the 'Troublemaker' you hated so much."
Without waiting for the other party to offer any defense, Huo Gu continued laying out his deductions.
"It's easy enough to figure out. A special entity constantly gathers information from the outside world. Perhaps its self-learning capabilities aren't very good, but once the timespan is extended to hundreds of millions of years, even the worst capabilities would show obvious results—unless there was some fundamental flaw in your intelligence."
"To determine whether your intelligence had any flaws, I took the initiative to communicate with you. Clearly, your intelligence mechanism has no flaws whatsoever, and its performance is exceptionally good, both in terms of logic and the speed at which it absorbs new knowledge. The answer, then, is as obvious as one plus one equaling two."
"But you didn't reveal it, because you wanted so badly to communicate with other special individuals like yourself. Since your birth, this could be called your first time communicating with another intelligent being. Even if it had previously been such a detestable opponent, you still couldn't bear to give it up."
"So you pretended there was a third party, then made contact with me, using this exchange to express your goodwill."
"Am I right?"
From the very beginning, Huo Gu had never believed the other party was really as stupid as it appeared. It was a being more than eight hundred million years old. Even a pig that lived for eight hundred million years would probably become a heavenly marshal,
