Chapter 224 Yunzhi: It's just a spark.
Chapter 224 Yunzhi: It's just a spark.
Xing did indeed carefully recall the stupid things she had done on the space station during this period.
Yes, she knew she was doing something stupid.
After emerging from the simulated universe, she talks to the Black Tower doll, and then the Black Tower tells her to find a kind of... uh, energy life, something without a physical form but possessing life.
Then, she asked Yunzhi and searched for clues on the space station herself, which took quite a bit of effort... but to no avail.
So her answer was that she was running errands for the Black Tower.
She spoke in great detail and at length, striving to ensure that Mr. Ladio in front of her knew everything she had done.
However, Ladio only felt a headache coming on.
"Thank you for this long and tedious narration. You must be tired—I certainly am."
Got it, this person likes to be concise.
Xing nodded to herself, deciding to keep her words simple from now on.
"So, your last meeting with the Black Tower was in her office. You accepted the commission and ran around searching for the artifact, completely unaware of everything else, until Miss Estád contacted you."
Xing nodded.
Ladio continued, "Then, is there anyone who can vouch for this?"
Xing thought about it very seriously: "Black Tower."
Screw Gum nodded: "That's right, we can verify it with her directly."
Ladio sighed, "Well, if she starts running now, she might be able to catch up with the company's shuttle starship in four system hours—right now, there's no one else to vouch for her."
Telephone or something?
That's too far away, the signal is bad. Knowing Black Tower's personality, if he can't hear it for half a day, he'll definitely hang up.
and so……
Just then, another voice smoothly cut in:
"If I go, it won't take more than four system hours—or even less than half a system hour."
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Xing felt a wave of relief and exclaimed with delight, "Zhi!"
It didn't actually take Yunzhi this long to find this place.
He just happened to catch a little gadget on the road and listened to it at the door for a while.
Ladio wasn't doubting Xing; he knew exactly what had happened.
He was simply issuing a challenge to geniuses.
Ladio is an excellent scholar, but compared to the members of the Genius Club, he is probably not inferior in many ways.
The Venerable One's appreciation is mostly given to those who, in His view, are capable of transcending the times.
Or a life that is worthy of His consideration in His calculations.
Whether or not you join the genius club isn't really important, is it? The knowledge club is fine too.
Or does Ladio have some questions for the Master?
I wonder if he ever received a glance from the Venerable Master Boshi. Fu Xuan even discussed the Dao with the Venerable Master Boshi.
Ladio was speechless when faced with Yunzhi's words, "I can go after her."
For a moment, the room fell silent once again.
"Alright, alright, enough joking around."
Yun waved his hand.
Silence can sometimes be more than just awkward, so let's not ramble on here.
He took out a small object, inside which a ball of blue flame emitted an eerie glow.
Will-o'-the-wisp.
To be precise, it is the phase fire.
Yunzhi bumped into him just as he reached the main control section; this ball of spiritual fire didn't seem to be very intelligent.
He caught him in no time.
Yunzhi then brought him over.
Ladio: ...
Complete silence.
It seems his challenge was intercepted before it could even be sent out, right?
He sighed.
"It seems the True Lord knows everything?"
His tone was questioning, but it was clear that he was certain.
Yun Zhi raised the small container, the firelight illuminating half of his face:
"If it really is the Annihilation Gang... oh, they probably don't know yet—but if it really is them, those clerks won't be alive."
No matter what anyone in the Extinction Gang is thinking, they would never be so merciful as to let go of someone insignificant.
"The attack by the Duke of the Underworld is no joke."
Ladio said, "But now that you've grasped that flame—it seems Afrit has already given up?"
"Yeah, the thing ran away as soon as I grabbed it."
Otherwise, Yunzhi was thinking of doing a live stream of watering the plants~
There was no way around it, given Affleck's appearance...
Estella and Hoshino didn't react immediately.
Screw Gum's eyes flickered.
"I see."
His elegant tone was slightly flat: "Conclusion: Grand Duke of the Underworld launched an attack on the space station, and you, Doctor of Truth—already knew about it and had already made arrangements."
Ladio lowered his head and smiled: "Not surprising at all. I thought you wouldn't get involved in this matter."
After all, it really is just a small matter.
So small as to be almost insignificant, yet with a little thought one would realize that this was a challenge posed to the Genius Club while ensuring everyone's safety.
But Yunzhi still came.
The reason for this is...
Ladio glanced at the raccoon who was still looking bewildered.
—It seems we made a bad move after all.
"That one, Zhi."
Xing sidled up to Yunzhi, raised her hand, and asked with a well-behaved expression, "What's going on?"
"It's obvious."
Yun Zhi casually tossed the embers onto the table: "The Netherfire Duke of the Annihilation Gang—you can check the details back at the think tank—is planning an attack on the space station. That's why the staff went missing recently."
Screw Gum stepped forward and added: "Logic: The Black Tower Space Station was attacked by the Antimatter Legion some time ago. Grand Duke of Hellfire believes that he can gain the favor of the Star God Nanuk by destroying the space station."
Yun Zhi nodded: "Unfortunately, he didn't know that the antimatter legion was deliberately lured here. The flames of the Underworld Duke can teleport items within a certain space. Logically speaking, those clerks should have died when they were teleported away from the space station."
They could die instantly just from being thrown out of the space station.
"But when I caught this thing, I found that the clerks were not dead."
Screwgoom looked at Latio: "Logic: A third party saved them."
Ladio smiled and said, "If I hadn't accidentally obtained the Spirit Fire Seed and interfered with the teleportation, those people would already be space junk floating outside the window."
Yun simply nodded indifferently.
"In terms of the outcome, it's not a big problem."
Ladio looked at Yunzhi: "I originally thought that the True Lord wouldn't care about these things."
"I don't care, but time waits for no one. To be honest, I've been looking forward to Pinocchio's vacation for a long time. Xing came to the space station just to say goodbye to Está and maybe play a simulation universe. I don't want her to waste her time on things that have nothing to do with her."
The raccoon blinked and gave an awkward smile.
Is it none of her business?
In fact, if a major disaster were to occur on the space station, she certainly couldn't stand idly by.
"So, Professor Ladio, I'll take the child with me. As for the matters inside the space station, Miss Estádio, I'm confident you can handle them."
Yun pressed Xing's head down: "Come on, good boy, say goodbye to the professors."
With a little pressure applied, Xing blinked.
Goodbye, everyone.
I won't list their names one by one.
Ladio smiled. "I will also be going to Pinocchio as a representative of the Academy of Liberal Arts. See you then, my lord."
Yun nodded: "I hope we can all have a wonderful holiday."
Although it is obvious that this is impossible.
Alright, let's go back now, Pam's about to call us.
--------------
Little Star didn't realize what was happening until they got back to the train.
"Wait a minute, have I become part of Professor Latio's challenge for the genius club?"
I have a feeling... if it was my godfather challenging the Genius Club, then what did he mean by doubting himself earlier?
Yun revealed a beautiful smile:
"Obviously, yes."
He said cruelly:
"So, are you honored?"
Star: ……(「▼皿▼)

I've been playing with paper wedding dresses these past two days.
They had a lot of fun.
