Chapter 187: What a Big Game [Second Update]
"When asked about the key points, are you pretending not to understand?" Ruan Xi narrowed his eyes and looked at the aliens coldly. However, when he met their eyes, he did not feel any evasion or guilt from them. On the contrary, their eyes were very calm.
What the hell is this being frank?
They invaded their country for no apparent reason, murdered their people, and yet dared to look so calm. They are just like a certain race that invaded their country in their previous life but refused to admit it.
"No silence, speak!" Xiaoguai got angry and yelled again with a louder voice. Then, Ruan Xi realized belatedly that his son was speaking to those aliens in human language. Could the aliens understand?
This was embarrassing. Do aliens understand human language? At least, it's impossible for every alien to understand it, right? After all, based on human research on aliens, their IQ is really a bit worrying.
"Um, Xiaoguai, can they understand human language?" Ruan Xi leaned over and whispered in Xiaoguai's ear. Xiaoguai was stunned when he heard the words, and a puzzled look appeared on his face.
"Don't you understand? But I can understand what they are saying, so why can't they understand what I am saying?" Xiaoguai didn't understand the connection. His little face was full of confusion and puzzlement. When he turned his head to look at the aliens again, the anger in his eyes seemed to be turning into substance and spraying towards those aliens.
So, his little boy took it for granted that those aliens could understand what he was saying?
Ruan Xi and He Ziqian looked at each other, speechless for a moment, not knowing how to explain to their son.
At this moment, the shortest and oldest-looking alien slowly walked to the front, looked at Xiaoguai as if he had something to say, and bowed respectfully to Xiaoguai.
"Go away! I'm not with you!" Xiaoguai was a little scared when he saw this scene. He quickly hid behind his father. After hiding for a while, he couldn't help but stick his head out and looked at the alien. He asked hesitantly: "Do you want to tell me something? Let me tell you first, I'm not going with you. I want to be with Daddy and my father!"
Xiaoguai always insisted on following his father and his father's principles without wavering. This attitude obviously made the alien very dissatisfied. The expression on his face gradually twisted, and he was obviously suppressing his anger, waiting for the old man in front to speak.
It seems that this alien who looks the oldest is actually a small leader.
"@￥#&￥￥..." Next, the old man started to babble. Ruan Xi and He Ziqian, two pure humans, had no idea what this alien old man was saying, but Xiaoguai frowned when he heard what he said. Judging from his expression, he seemed to understand.
The two of them didn't rush Xiaoguai to translate for them. They waited until Xiaoguai looked at them, as if hesitant to speak, before asking softly, "Xiaoguai, don't you want to say it? Or, you don't know how to say it?"
Upon hearing this, Xiaoguai's delicate brows furrowed even further. After hesitating for a few seconds, he finally spoke, "Dad, he said... I'm an alien, the future and hope of the alien race, and that I should be with them... I'm not an alien, right? I'm your child and father's, right? I don't want to be with them!"
The little guy bit his lower lip stubbornly, his expression looking very aggrieved, and he held Ruan Xi's hand tightly and refused to let go. Having said that, he didn't know what else to say next.
He didn't understand much, but he knew that he was different from his father and his dad, because he could understand the language of other races, but his father and his dad couldn't, which made him very uneasy.
"You are our child and will only stay with us. Be good and don't be afraid. Daddy and your father are here. As long as you don't want us to, we will never let anyone take you away for any reason."
But what if Xiaoguai is willing? Can they really let Xiaoguai leave?
Thinking of what Xiaoguai had just translated, Ruan Xi couldn't help but feel a heavy heart. He said his Xiaoguai was the future and hope of the alien race. What the hell, did he want his son to lead the alien race to invade their country again? This was absolutely intolerable!
"I don't want to go with anyone else! I only treat you as my dad and my father's child!" Xiaoguai threw himself into Ruan Xi's arms and refused to come out. His arms wrapped around Ruan Xi's waist so tightly that Ruan Xi even felt the pain, but he never pushed Xiaoguai away from his arms. He patted his back soothingly and looked at Xiaoguai with incomparably gentle eyes.
However, when he looked up at the alien opposite him, his eyes became as cold as He Ziqian's.
"This is my son, not one of your tribe, and certainly not your future and hope. Don't set your sights on him!" Otherwise, even if it's like a moth flying into a flame, they wouldn't mind and would start a massacre here first.
He Ziqian also silently protected Ruan Xi and Xiaoguai behind him, with a cold light and hidden murderous intent in his eyes.
The reason why we don't kill these aliens is simply because they haven't figured out their current situation yet. They won't remain so passive forever.
Xiaoguai stopped talking. Ruan Xi and He Ziqian's attitudes were obviously tough, even murderous. Such attitudes completely angered the aliens. The old man standing in front also changed his expression in an instant. With a wave of his hand, all the aliens immediately rushed forward fiercely to snatch Xiaoguai.
"Hold your breath!" Ruan Xi shouted softly, and at the same time, he waved his right hand and sprinkled a handful of red powder. The powder exploded the moment it came into contact with the air, and a large amount of red smoke suddenly poured out of the room. The aliens were choked by the smoke and instantly lost their ability to move, and breathing became difficult.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, He Ziqian picked up Ruan Xi by the waist, took him and Xiaoguai, rushed out of the house, and ran forward without stopping for a moment.
When the smoke in the house cleared and the aliens came out to chase them, they could no longer see Ruan Xi and the other two. They could only stand there shouting angrily, trying to track them, but they could not find any clues at all.
On the other side, He Ziqian, Ruan Xi and Xiaoguai, found a secluded cave and hid there after running for an hour. They didn't breathe a sigh of relief until they were sure that the aliens had not caught up with them.
With the faint light coming in from outside the cave, Ruan Xi lowered her head to look at her arms and saw that Xiaoguai had fallen asleep without her knowing when. Looking at the little boy, he seemed to be sleeping soundly, without any pressure at all. She couldn't help but slightly curl up the corners of her lips and smiled silently.
He Ziqian also saw Xiaoguai's condition clearly, and he also curled his lips. He stretched out his long arms and took the two people, one big and one small, into his arms. He lowered his head and placed a light kiss on Ruan Xi's forehead. He leaned close to his ear and asked in a very low voice: "Can you put Xiaoguai back in the petri dish?"
In fact, when asking this question, He Ziqian already had the answer in his heart, he just wanted to struggle a little longer.
"No, I've tried many times. It seems that an accident occurred when crossing the black hole, causing Xiaoguai's body to mature prematurely. I'm afraid he will never be able to return to that petri dish." This also means that Xiaoguai can no longer return to the atlas space, and his safety is reduced. In addition, this is most likely the origin of the alien race. The unforeseen danger makes Ruan Xi feel very uneasy.
"From the information we just received from those aliens, Xiaoguai's birth might not be an accident. Or perhaps all alien parasites are born with a specific purpose. They carry the future and hope of the alien race... The alien races are not simply species with low IQs that only know how to invade. Their ability to exist in higher-level planes means they possess a correspondingly high level of intelligence. Humanity has been led into this misunderstanding from the very beginning..."
The more He Ziqian spoke, the uglier his expression became. Obviously, what he was thinking about was more than just what he said.
"Perhaps the alien race's defeat back then was not because humans were strong enough, but because they had problems themselves and were forced to withdraw. The base that bred the alien parasites was the hope they deliberately left behind. It is the future of the alien race. If the aliens had brought those parasites back then, those little lives would never have been successfully born." Ruan Xi continued speaking following He Ziqian's words, and his analysis focused more on the alien race itself.
The continuation of the race is the root cause of this disaster.
However, no one is obligated to sacrifice themselves for the continuation of the alien race. What's more, all this is not the fault of mankind. Before the alien invasion, humans did not even know the existence of aliens or the existence of higher-level planes.
"Isaac is the chess piece they left behind, the gatekeeper. His mission, perhaps, is to carry the future of the alien race back to their place of origin, and then lead their army to invade the human world again..." Damn, this is such a big game! Who said the alien race is brainless? Stand up, I promise I won't kill you!
"So, was it really the aliens who rescued Isaac? I always feel that there are still many things here that we haven't figured out... Could the mastermind we previously speculated be an alien? No... I don't think so. The mastermind's behavior is too human-like. Aliens shouldn't be able to do such a complicated thing..."
However, the alien race really played a big game of chess in the human world. Could it be that the alien race used all the IQ of the entire race on this game of chess, and then ran out of wisdom?
Thinking of this, Ruan Xi couldn't help but slap his forehead. He was so embarrassed that his heart trembled. Damn, even novels don't dare to write so wildly and unrealistically, right? He should think of something more realistic...
Since they had nothing to do anyway, Ruan Xi and He Ziqian huddled in the cave, whispering to each other and analyzing the data one by one. The data they analyzed was detailed enough, but the result was not something they could reach a conclusion by just discussing it. In the end, they could only stop the analysis silently.
"Let's get some sleep. Once we're sure there are no pursuers, we should leave here as soon as possible."
"This is 99% likely the origin of the alien race. We need to collect as much intelligence as possible about the alien race, and then take Xiaoguai back with us."
Is it possible that they all have to go back!
