"Murong Qingli! Look at me!" Gu Ran shouted angrily, took off his sunglasses, his eyes flashing, forcing Murong Qingli to look at him, trying to bring her into an illusory world and isolate her from the influence of the law beast.

However, what shocked Gu Ran was that Murong Qingli's body was shrinking at an alarming speed like a deflated ball.

In the blink of an eye, her once splendid figure became emaciated, as if drained of her vitality by an invisible force. Finally, her eyes slowly closed, and she collapsed lifelessly to the ground, leaving only skin and bones.

Gu Ran widened his eyes, looking at the scene in disbelief.

He had never imagined that Murong Qingli would die so easily, and in such a tragic way. If he had been able to sense the danger earlier, or possessed greater strength, perhaps he could have saved her life.

But that's just if...

At this moment, the crowd that was previously filled with some anxiety had already fallen silent. The surroundings were as quiet as if the god of death had arrived, as if the whole world had come to a halt at this moment.

Gu Ran stood there blankly, and the sunglasses in his hand slipped to the ground with a crisp sound.

"Uncle Guan!" A loud shout brought everyone back to their senses. "I've put out the fire. You can collect Sariel now!"

Ai Yu stood outside the flesh wall, worried about the situation inside.

The wall of flesh disappeared, and Ai Yu closed her open mouth again. Everyone's expression was not very good. She was not good at comforting others and didn't know what to say at this moment. It was also at this moment that Ai Yu noticed the shriveled corpse on the ground.

Ai Yu's breathing slowed, and her hands hanging at her sides began to tremble: "I'm sorry, I'm late."

Guan Zaizhou sat on the ground to recover his strength. Hua Jianzui walked out of the crowd, patted Ai Yu's shoulder, and comforted her with the same words: "Ai Yu, don't be sad. Murong Qingli's death is not your fault, it is the fault of this era."

Ai Yu bit her lip so hard that her teeth made a slight grinding sound. She managed to squeeze out a few words from between her teeth: "I will definitely...find a way out of this dilemma!"

Hua Jianzui showed a trace of reluctance on his face, but after thinking carefully, he felt that no matter what he said, it would not be appropriate.

After much hesitation, she could only say: "Ai Yu, just do your best... Perhaps, this is our fate in this life."

Facing the Lu beast, Hua Jianzui felt fear in his heart.

Ai Yu turned around without saying a word and left quietly.

Hua Jianzui sighed helplessly, then turned on the communication equipment and began to deploy security personnel to investigate the casualties in the incident and the extent of damage to various buildings.

Ai Yu shuttled through the ruins of a messy building, searching hard for the stone he had exchanged from the star beast.

The stone still retains its original appearance without any changes, except that a part of the edge has been cut, making it seem out of place with the overall shape.

The entire stone weighed over a hundred pounds, and for Ai Yu, lifting it was quite a struggle. However, she didn't call for help. Instead, she gritted her teeth and, step by step, relied on her own strength to slowly move the heavy stone to an open area.

This stone was brought by the gentleman from Goholang.

It is said that it has a certain connection with the Law Beast. The data recorded by Ouyang Mingyuan shows that this stone seems to be able to communicate with the brain. It was all her fault that she did not move the stone from Ji Palace in the first place, which led to the fire.

Guan Zaizhou finally found Ai Yu, grabbed her, and walked away from the rock: "What are you doing?"

Ai Yu's arm was pinched by Gu Ran, and she looked at him in confusion: "I..."

"Ai Yu, you have been stimulated by the deaths of two people in succession, becoming emotionally unstable and confused. What you should do now is to calm down and have a good rest instead of thinking with your messed up brain!" Guan Zaizhou's tone was extremely cold and his eyes were terrifying.

Ai Yu's shoulders trembled slightly. She sniffed and said tearfully, "It's all because I brought this stone that Teacher Ouyang committed suicide and Murong Qingli died unexpectedly. If I hadn't been quick..."

Guan Zaizhou interrupted her, his voice softening a bit: "Ai Yu, Hua'er is right. It's not your fault, it's the fault of the times. The law beasts from Gohe Rulang have been dormant on Blue Star for decades. Even if you didn't do this, many people would still die because of the law beasts.

On the contrary, you have provided valuable materials to help us study the Law Beast. Listen to me, Ai Yu, calm yourself down first. You are incapable of thinking in this emotional state.

Guan Zaizhou raised his hand and rubbed Ai Yu's head. After all, Ai Yu was just a 17-year-old child who had just recovered from autism. He had even sent his mentor off not long ago.

"If you want to cry, do you want to lean on Uncle Guan and cry for a while?"

Ai Yu raised her other hand, wiped away her tears, and shook her head: "No, Uncle Guan. Thank you, I'm much calmer now."

Guan Zaizhou didn't dare to leave Ai Yu here without caring about her. He grabbed Ai Yu tightly and took her away from this place without saying anything.

The two of them went to a drink shop outside the school together. Guan Zaizhou ordered a sweet drink for Ai Yu and asked the waiter for some extra ice cubes.

After getting the ice, Guan Zaizhou gently rubbed Ai Yu's red little arm, and said with concern: "Nizi, many things should not be borne by you alone. You are so young, right? If all the burdens fall on you, then what are the use of us adults? Are we just here to make a living?

There's a saying that goes, "When many are united, their strength is unstoppable." Even if... let's take a step back, if we truly can't defeat the Law Beast, then everyone will have their own opinions. At worst, we'll be doomed, but at least we've tried our best. Just like the dinosaurs, they eventually became extinct. Sometimes, that's just how fate works."

"No!" Ai Yu still had a mouthful of coconut flakes in her mouth, and her words seemed a little unclear.

Guan Zaizhou suddenly thought of something and asked Ai Yu, "Ai Yu, I just thought of something else. At the moment, we can't defeat the Law Beast and have no power to fight back. So, can we negotiate with the Star Beast? At least we can fight with the Star Beast in a back-and-forth manner?"

If the Blue Planet is truly destroyed by the Law Beasts, then at least the human race and the existing gene pool on the Blue Planet can continue."

After hearing this, Ai Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Guan, this legion only accepts Xila's life completely. If that's the case, then are humans still human? We Moon Envoys...are already incompatible with ordinary people..."

Of course she had thought of this method, and was undoubtedly ridiculed by Lanling.
