Anything

Soon, once again, Luo Tan's bedroom was full of people.

Butler Simba personally covered Andre's body with a white cloth.

Then he turned his back and wiped away his tears.

After all, this is the child he watched grow up.

Emperor Nicholas has arrived.

When he saw the familiar body under the white cloth, he seemed to have aged ten years in that instant.

"It's my fault...it's all my fault..."

The once mighty emperor of the empire now has a bent back and a hunched back. He kept repeating these words over and over again, but he couldn't tell what he had done wrong.

Since Luo Chen was not sure whether there was really a problem with the dagger, at the beginning, only Luo Chen, Xu Cheng and the doctors and nurses knew about this plan.

Therefore, when everyone knew that Andre, who had always been supported by the people, was the traitor who wanted aliens to occupy the earth, and was the culprit who installed a bug in Xu Cheng and assassinated Luo Tan, they all felt that this was not true.

However, the following pieces of evidence -

The dagger on Luo Tan's body came from Andre.

The □□ in Andre's room.

Andre's personal computer hijacked the communication channel with the alien.

There are also chat records that provide solid evidence.

…

Without exception, they nailed Andre to death.

However, no matter how evil a person is, after he dies, the living people will still remember his good side.

Luo Tan felt her shoulders sink slightly. It was Xu Cheng standing behind her, putting a coat on her.

She murmured to herself: "Did I do something wrong in this matter?"

Xu Cheng looked at her and his heart sank. He had never seen her with such an uncertain expression before.

He said softly, "You didn't do anything wrong. He brought this upon himself."

"But..." Luo Tan was a little stubborn: "I shouldn't have killed him, I should have tried to control him and then delay time..."

"Then the person lying on the ground at this moment should be you."

Xu Cheng’s eyes were deep.

Luo Tan had no way to refute this point. Under the emergency situation at that time, if she had had any hesitation, she would not be alive today.

Luo Tan sighed: "In the beginning, I really regarded him as a friend and a family member."

Finally, how did it turn out like this?

She originally thought that fate was on her side and that she would finally have a family.

However, the word "family" eventually became a cold blade stabbing into her head.

Now Nicholas will hate her too.

In the end, she was still alone.

At this moment, she saw Emperor Nicholas walking towards her.

Luo Chen had already made a prediction in his mind. He simply blamed her for killing his son while defending him, and regretted that he should not have brought her to the palace in the first place.

Unexpectedly, Nicholas apologized to her, saying that he had not disciplined his son well, which led to his rebellious thoughts and mistakes. He was also deceived by his son's humble and gentle character, so he did not see the truth behind the disguise.

Next, Nicholas hesitated for a long time before making a request.

"Can you let me store his memories so that when I think of him in the future, I can still... scold him?"

Luo Chen immediately understood the real intention of Nicholas' words. Facing Nicholas' cautious attitude, she simply found it a little funny, but she couldn't laugh out loud in this situation. She just stated the facts calmly: "Your Majesty, this is your right. It is natural to love your own son. You don't need my permission, nor do you need to be embarrassed about it."

"I just...ah." Nicholas seemed to have no idea what to say, and just repeated in the end: "I am really sorry, we are really sorry for you."

…

The death of the crown prince was a big deal. There were countless tasks to be arranged afterwards. The people needed to know the truth or an excuse. Whether Andre had accomplices needed to be investigated. The emperor needed to appoint another crown prince...

Every single thing here is enough to keep the person in charge busy all day long.

But these have nothing to do with Luo Chen.

She asked everyone to leave her room, including Xu Cheng.

Before Xu Cheng left, he looked very worried.

Luo Tan smiled faintly: "I want to be alone and quiet."

Xu Cheng hesitated for a moment, then said, "Then call me anytime if you need anything."

Luo Chen asked everyone to leave not because she was in a bad mood. Although she did feel sad for Andre for a while, she quickly adjusted herself.

She took a long breath and said to herself in her heart:

She should have expected this.

She could feel the cold wall in the deepest part of her heart, which had just melted slightly, healing again - that was her most important weapon to protect herself.

She calmed down and called out softly in her heart: "Xiao Ai."

Xiao Ai's joyful voice was the same as always: "Here I am."

As expected, the part of the power that affects the system comes from physical effects, so once the dagger is thrown away, the effect will gradually disappear.

Luo Tan got straight to the point: "I heard that you are a fugitive from an alien planet. What's going on?"

Xiao Ai didn't answer.

Luo Tan helplessly called out again: "Xiao Ai."

"Host..." Xiao Ai's voice was filled with false doubt: "Who did you hear that from? Xiao Ai doesn't know, that person must have deceived you!"

Luo Tan: “…”

She threatened coldly: "If you don't tell me, I will tell this to the scientific research experts and let them study you carefully..."

"Ahhhh - Xiao Ai doesn't want to be studied!" A terrified voice came from my head.

After a few seconds, Xiao Ai said reluctantly: "I am indeed from the planet you call an alien."

Luo Tan narrowed his eyes: "Then...what is the real name of that planet, which is your hometown?"

Xiao Ai: "That name is almost impossible to translate into the language here. If you have to translate it, Alien Star is also a good choice."

She said something that Luo Tan could not understand. The strange tone and obscure pronunciation made Luo Tan's hair stand on end, as if she had really come into contact with an incomprehensible civilization.

Luo Tan took a deep breath, tried his best to calm himself down, and asked the most crucial question: "Then why did you come to Earth?"

This time, Xiao Ai was silent for a long time before answering: "If I say that I have no ill will towards humans, would you believe me?"

The body of the last person Luo Tan trusted was already cold, and even left an indelible bloodstain on the carpet, as if reminding Luo Tan not to trust anyone rashly.

But she still said, "I will believe you if you say so."

Xiao Ai's voice became lively again: "Host, you are so kind!"

Then, it started to talk with its little mouth: "Do you know why the aliens targeted the Earth in the first place? The Earth sending signals to the outside world is just one reason. The essence is that the aliens are always looking for civilizations that they can occupy. And why do they keep looking for it? It's all because of me!"

"you?"

Feeling the murderous intent in Luo Chen's words, Xiao Ai quickly changed her tone and said, "I'm just a tool! A tool! A tool without emotions! The civilization of aliens is highly developed. They have many technical means that are beyond the understanding of earthlings. These means may be considered metaphysics in the eyes of earthlings, but in their eyes, they are just part of the technology, such as foreknowledge."

"I am the most accurate prediction system developed by the aliens. They use me to predict the future that is about to befall them."

Luo Chen murmured, "…If differentiation continues at the current rate, reproductive isolation will become more and more serious, and eventually the aliens will face genocide."

"Bingo!" Xiao Ai made a sound like snapping her fingers, although no one knew how it was made.

Xiao Ai: "So, based on my prediction, the aliens searched and searched, and finally found the stupid and simple Earth in the universe, and decided to possess all of their people in the human body to achieve a great migration of races!"

"After all, I am a kind and gentle foresight tool with a good conscience, so when the aliens exerted their influence on the Aksai Extraterrestrial Civilization Research Center, I took this opportunity to quietly infiltrate the Earth."

Xiao Ai said angrily, "They suddenly said I was a fugitive! Humph! I was clearly helping others when I saw injustice, I was a wise bird choosing the right tree to roost in, I was brave and courageous, I was..."

"Alright, alright."

Luo Tan thought about it carefully and caught a word from Xiao Ai's words: "Exert influence? How much influence can aliens exert on the earth? Why can they do this?"

Combined with Xu Lan's diary, she roughly guessed that the aliens killed all the researchers in the research base at the same time and erased everyone's memory of them.

The effects were huge, but she didn't understand how they were done.

Andre also mentioned before his death that the influence that advanced civilizations can exert is unimaginable.

Xiao Ai was silent for a while, then said, "Host, strictly speaking, the influence that humans can have on ants is the same as the influence that aliens can have on humans."

Luo Tan was stunned: "How is this possible? We are so far apart?"

Xiao Ai corrected him: "It's not a question of distance, it's a question of vision."

"Ants can only move along a flat surface, while humans can see a wider space, so humans can control ants."

"In the universe, the relationships between galaxies and planets are far more complex than humans have figured out. Their high and low levels are connected in sequence. Some planets exist in low dimensions, and the civilizations on them are equivalent to ants; some civilizations are born on high-sequence planets, which are equivalent to humans."

"For ants, they are 108,000 miles away from humans. They can't even see the existence of humans in their world. But for humans, stepping on an ant to death only takes a moment."

Xiao Ai's voice became heavy: "Although I want to comfort you, in theory, aliens can do anything to this galaxy."
