Chapter 432

The pink fairy was jealous, the long-haired girl kept asking questions, and Bai Ge was dealing with both of them at the same time.

He was between laughter and tears. Clearly, it was Elysia sitting in the middle, but it felt like he was the one being sandwiched.

However, it wasn't incomprehensible that Elysia would have such a reaction. Who told Mei to actually want to snatch her travel companion?

Elysia just imagined Bai Ge being snatched away, and she continued her journey alone, and then... lonely and lonely to death!

And Bai Ge treated Mei indeed more kindly than he treated ordinary people, which made Elysia even more full of a sense of crisis.

According to her observation, she discovered that Bai Ge treated Mei with thirty percent of the gentleness and consideration he had for her! She had spent so many years brushing up favorability as a pink fairy, and the result was only thirty percent of what Mei had easily caught up to!

Elysia: "Mei, friend or enemy, choose!"

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

Hurriedly soothing this girl, Bai Ge was also a bit helpless. After all, the reason why he was relatively gentle to Mei was entirely because her face looked too much like Mei's!

After time-traveling, he hadn't seen his dear Mei for more than three years, and now there was a girl in front of him who looked exactly like Mei, and she was in a loli form!

Bai Ge subconsciously went along with Mei a little bit.

However, Mei was just craving the knowledge in his brain, not his body. Bai Ge wouldn't refuse this level of request for both reason and emotion.

After all, this person is the strongest scientist of future humanity. Even if compared with all the creatures on this earth, even considering the evolution that might happen in the future.

Mei's intelligence level is still the top existence.

Letting her grow up as soon as possible is in itself a powerful counterattack against Honkai.

"Elysia, I won't leave you, don't worry. And Mei, don't read books while eating noodles... you're only this old and you're already wearing glasses... I'll teach you later."

"Oh, that's a promise."

"Alright, I know."

Elysia and Mei finally settled down.

Bai Ge also breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the noodles in front of him that hadn't been touched and were already soggy, and only felt that his heart was very tired.

Other customers in the shop had the urge to applaud.

Awesome, at such a young age, he can already control a shuraba. What will it be like when he grows up in the future?

Su, sitting opposite, showed an expression of admiration, while Kevin had a punchable, gloating expression... which made Bai Ge want to poke the chopsticks in his hand into this guy's nostrils.

They had all become familiar over the past few days, and their relationship was already enough to be called friends.

However, the three of them also knew that Bai Ge and Elysia wouldn't continue to stay in Nagazora City for long, so they would seize the time to find the two to play everywhere every day... although the places Mei invited them to were always the library.

"After eating, let's find a higher place to watch the stars. I heard there might be shooting stars tonight!"

Kevin suggested. Unlike the obsessed person in the current civilization, he really loved to play during this period. He was worthy of being the source of the Kaslana bloodline, a proper human-shaped husky!

"If there are shooting stars, it's indeed worth seeing. Elysia, you must be interested too."

"Of course! I have to take advantage of this time to think about what wish I want to make."

"Astronomy observation, I'm a little interested in this too." Mei wiped her glasses that were fogged by the heat with a tissue and said.

"Eh? Mei, wouldn't it be better to go home and write the problems you like?" Elysia said with puffed cheeks.

"I can provide a professional astronomical telescope."

"Welcome to join, Mei! Let's watch the stars together!"

"Elysia..."

Bai Ge twitched the little face of this girl speechlessly.

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

If it weren't for Mei always trying to keep him as her private tutor, with Elysia's social-terrorist personality, she would have already turned the other party into her best friend by now.

Elysia: (As long as you don't want to snatch my Bai Ge, we are good friends.)

Mei: (Sorry Elysia, but who told Bai Ge to be so fragrant? Best friend, please share.)

Elysia: (Eat my pink fairy flying kick!)

In summary, the problem actually lies with Bai Mouren. It was he who made the two girls who should have become best friends into this appearance.

Bai Ge: (Eh~ my damn charm!)

……………………

After finishing the noodles, everyone brought Mei's astronomical telescope to a high-rise building to appreciate the stars in the night sky... well, actually, there was nothing particularly good-looking.

Kevin and Su had no special preference for the starry sky. Although Bai Ge wanted to get on the Astral Express, that kind of thing was still a long way off. Elysia liked it very much.

However, the one who was surprising was Mei.

She looked the most seriously among everyone present.

But it wasn't from the perspective of appreciation.

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

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

Mei shook her head with a smile. She was silent for a while and then said: "Sorry, this is just my prejudice."

"Prejudice? Against the stars?"

Everyone was stunned.

"Hmm, one night in the past, I accidentally looked up at the starry sky and suddenly had a strange feeling."

Mei pushed her glasses and said.

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

"At that time, I immediately had an idea. I believe that every star in the sky is our enemy."

Looking up at the infinitely vast starry sky, Mei's eyes were full of firmness, as if this was the truth.

And as soon as these words came out, the three people present opened their eyes in surprise, showing expressions of incomprehension.

"Mei, I didn't expect you to be so chuunibyou."

Kevin said very straightforwardly.

"Chu, chuunibyou..."

Hearing this guy evaluate her as chuunibyou, Mei's lips twitched, and black lines slid down her head. She didn't want to be evaluated by this silly husky at all.

(Sigh~)

Mei turned her head slightly and sighed in her heart.

In the past, she had said this sentence to others, such as her father, teachers, and classmates, but everyone's reactions were more or less the same—surprise, incomprehension, confusion.

Some mocked her for overestimating her capabilities, some praised her for having a rich imagination, and some even said she should go see a brain doctor.

It can only be said that geniuses are always lonely and lonely, especially for a peerless genius who has not yet fully grown and has not been able to prove herself to the world.

Mortals cannot agree with her ideas and cannot understand her philosophy. For the current Mei, all she can do is hide those endless inspirations and whimsical ideas in her heart, waiting for the moment when her wings are full in the future to reveal them.

However, just when Mei felt that she could only be like this.

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

"Bai Ge?"

Mei turned her head in surprise to look at the boy who recognized her "nonsense." Bai Ge looked at her with eyes full of brilliance, full of admiration and recognition, and even clapped his hands.

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

When asking this question, Mei's heartbeat accelerated.

She stared at the boy in front of her, unable to restrain her anticipation. Mei couldn't help but think, if it were Bai Ge, who had more knowledge than herself, would he be able to give her a different evaluation than before?

And Bai Ge didn't disappoint her at all.

"Of course. Humanity imagines the starry sky too beautifully and always deliberately ignores the dangers within it. They even once launched a record containing Earth's information to the universe, hoping to make friends with unknown cosmic civilizations."

This is a romantic and positive, beautiful act, but from another perspective, it can also be called a stupid act of self-destruction.

"Reality and imagination are different, just like the moon and the moon are two concepts. The former symbolizes reunion, chastity, cleanliness, love, and beauty, but this is just the meaning that humans have arbitrarily given it. The moon in reality is just a satellite with large and small craters, a desolate and dead place."

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

Elysia and the others were all silent, because Bai Ge's tone sounded as if he had been to the moon, oh no, the moon, in the past and had seen that desolate and dead planet with his own eyes.

Only Mei's eyes became brighter and brighter, and right at this moment, Bai Ge suddenly looked at her and asked.

"Have you heard of the Dark Forest Law?"

"Uh, what is that?"

"That is a hypothesis, saying that the universe is like a dark forest, and every civilization is a hunter with a gun. Everyone lurks in it like a ghost, carefully guarding against other hunters. Once they discover others, they will immediately shoot and kill them to ensure their own safety."

"!!!" x4

Elysia, Mei, Kevin, and Su all had their hair stand on end at this moment, and a chill surged through their whole bodies.

When they looked at the stars in the night sky again, they no longer felt that it was as beautiful as before.

"My god, this law is too cold and ruthless."
