In an instant, the entire house fell silent. It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
"What rubbish! Why does he have to go and die?" Mu Qingyun subconsciously clenched her fist, her not-so-sharp nails leaving several obvious nail marks on her delicate skin.
"I'm the one who's an anomaly from another world, so why isn't it me?"
She muttered to herself, her beautiful eyes dull and lifeless.
In truth, none of them were afraid of death; each of them hoped to sacrifice themselves. But fate intervened, and the butterfly flapped its wings, pointing the pointer of destiny to only one person.
"Maybe, maybe there are people on other planets who meet the conditions for sacrifice. As long as we don't say anything, no one will know that Qi Luo has now become a fire-type ability user."
The doctor frowned and spoke his mind.
But Mu Qingyun merely glanced at him indifferently, "It's impossible for other planets to have it. No one can cultivate fire-based abilities to that level. This ability is too ordinary."
Moreover, if Su Qiluo doesn't take action, everyone else can only count down their lives, calculating their remaining days.
"So, what's your thought?" The doctor didn't expect her to say that. His hand, which had been rubbing the cushion, suddenly stopped and started gripping it tightly, waiting for her answer.
"I have no attachment to this place. Who lives or dies is none of my business." Mu Qingyun slowly exhaled, her legs went weak, and she could no longer support her weight, sliding down the door frame.
She sat down on the ground and raised her eyes. "If we don't detonate that meteorite, we'll all die. Anyway, we can't escape death. I might as well go with Qi Luo."
"...Where to?" The doctor's lips trembled, and his whole body began to stiffen.
"I went with him to detonate that meteorite..."
"No!" The doctor interrupted her before she could finish speaking.
He knew what she was going to say, but he didn't want to hear it.
But Mu Qingyun did not shut up because of his interruption. After a pause, she continued, "I went with him, so everyone will be safe, and I won't have to go through the pain of losing him."
The doctor suddenly stood up, snatched the cushion from his hand, and threw it hard on the ground. "Have you thought about me? This old man doesn't have much time left. At the end of my life, will I have to endure Bei Xuan's betrayal and the deaths of you and Qi Luo?"
“Qi Luo will definitely sacrifice himself,” she said, unaffected by the doctor’s emotions. “Although the Hellfire personality controls him, both his own personality and the Hellfire personality will make the decision to sacrifice themselves.”
"Rather than let me suffer this outcome, I'd rather die with him. Consider it a moment of selfishness, a death for love."
As she was talking, she suddenly laughed.
Just now, when she was at the door, she heard the doctor and Su Zhou struggling and shouting at each other.
When she first heard that Su Qiluo was going to sacrifice herself, her mind went blank, and she felt a chill run through her body. Her heart felt like it was being torn apart, and the pain made her eyes red.
But later, when she thought about Su Zhou's journey to another world, the destruction of all things caused by the falling meteorite, and the fact that so many living people would turn to ashes, she finally came to her senses.
She has witnessed beautiful mountains and rivers, and seen the spirit of all things. She has seen the joy of a newlywed couple, and the pure and hopeful light in the eyes of a child.
Since sacrifice is unavoidable, it doesn't seem like it would be so painful if the two of them went together.
"I will contact Qi Luo. If Qi Luo is even slightly unwilling, I will do everything in my power to protect him." After thinking for a long time, the doctor could only sigh helplessly in the end.
Initially, he thought that both of them would choose to stand by his side and do their best to protect Qi Luo.
Unexpectedly, both of them chose to let Qi Luo die!
“You have no right to decide his life or death, even if you are his wife and Su Zhou is his father.”
The more the doctor looked at her, the angrier he became. After saying that, he simply pushed her out the door. "Get out. I won't let you have a single word with him until Qi Luo gives me an answer!"
Mu Qingyun did not resist, but was easily pushed outside the door by the doctor.
The door slammed shut behind her. She turned to look at the door that had been slammed shut, hesitated for a moment, and then turned and left.
After listening to the commotion outside and confirming that Mu Qingyun had left, the doctor turned on the communication signal and contacted Su Qiluo.
The fighter jets he built naturally had unique communication methods.
The green light flashed for a while, and then with a "beep" sound, the other end finally connected to his communication.
"Doctor, you've made a breakthrough?"
"Qi Luo, go back to the place where the meteorite was found and see if there have been any changes." The doctor hesitated for a moment, but still did not tell them the results of their research.
He still held onto a sliver of hope that the meteorite had simply stopped in space and hadn't intended to attack them.
"Okay, any research results?" Su Qiluo's voice came from the other end of the communication. He seemed to be in the middle of a battle. Not only his voice could be heard from the other end of the communication, but also the sounds of laser guns and exploding shells.
"Not yet, you can go and keep an eye on it for now." The doctor frowned, but still didn't tell him the research results.
Perhaps influenced by Su Zhou and Mu Qingyun, he always felt that if he spoke up, Su Qiluo would definitely agree to sacrifice herself without hesitation.
Just like back then, before he met Mu Qingyun, Qi Luo casually decided to sacrifice himself to save Kapaqiong.
"Okay, let me know as soon as you have any news."
Su Qiluo quickly replied, and as the loud bang of a shell exploding exploded in his ears, he asked, "Is my wife home? If you have time, ask her to talk to me for a bit so I can recharge."
"She's not here. I'll have her contact you when I have time," the doctor said vaguely, trying to find a different topic, but before he could finish speaking, the sound of an explosion came through the communication again.
"You need to focus, I'm hanging up now."
As he spoke, worried that Su Qiluo might be distracted while he was talking, he quickly hung up the call.
He slumped into his chair, staring at the communication signal, and remained silent for a long time.
It's estimated that a ceasefire announcement will be released soon.
He should at least wait until Qi Luo returns before sharing his research results. What if he shares them now and Qi Luo detonates the meteorite without informing them?
He still had to wait for the person to return, so that he could at least drug them and lock them in his office.
He refused to believe that among so many planets in the universe, there wasn't a single one that could produce someone capable of detonating a meteorite.
