Chapter 161: Mediocre people bother themselves

Xing followed ScrewGum's instructions and returned to the designated position.

After Esta was taken away by Latio, Xing waited quietly in the room alone for Screwgoom's return.

Time seemed to be particularly long at this moment, but Xing did not feel anxious, just waited silently.

"Didi"

At this moment, Xing's cell phone suddenly rang, so Xing opened the phone to check...

Bill Gewa: Have you heard?

Destroyer: Yeah

Tireless Destruction : Station Master Estelle was also attacked.

Mars Robot: This Underworld Lord

Mars Robot: His heart is despicable! His heart is despicable!

Destroying people tirelessly: Attacking the heart is the most terrifying thing from ancient times to the present

Bill Gewa: Indeed, it seems that this Annihilation Gang is not as mindless as the rumors say.

Bill Gewa: If the webmaster had not been rescued in the end, I would have been blamed for this.

Flying a spaceship without a license: That’s not necessarily the case. What if this is also her own drama?

Flying a spacecraft without a license: a self-inflicted tactic to turn the tide

Mars Robot: It does make sense.

Huirenjian: Come on, that’s enough.

Huirenjian: Think carefully, is it worth it?

Mars Robot: Yes

Bill Gewa: Speaking of which, who was the one that was yelling the loudest before?

Huirenjian: Yes, he was very righteous when he pulled me in.

Bill Gewa: Let me see.

Bill Gewa: Hiss, how come this guy has already withdrawn without saying anything?

When Xing finished reading the message, he also heard a noise coming from outside the door.

Finally, the sound of a door opening broke the silence in the room, and the figure of ScrewGum appeared at the door.

"Thank you for your hard work. You did a great job." ScrewGum said to Xing.

Xing hurried forward and asked, "How is Estelle?"

"Don't worry, Estelle just had a shock and is recovering in the medical room."

ScrewGum finished, then added, "And, while you were tracking the enemy, the Defense Department found the missing victims. Conclusion: They are all safe."

"How did you find it?" Xing asked puzzledly.

"Thanks to Adler, they all fell into a spatial wonder and were trapped inside it, unable to escape until the person in the World Seed Department who knew the most about wonders unlocked it from the inside. When Alan and his men arrived, most of the missing people were dying from excessive shock, but none of them were in danger of life." Screw Gum explained what had just happened.

"So..it's over?"

ScrewGum nodded slightly: "Well, that's the end."

"I always feel like you have very few roles..." Xing breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head.

"The matter here is settled. I believe the remaining disturbances will be resolved on their own inside the space station. I would like to thank you for your efforts on behalf of Black Tower, Ms. Xing."

"But there is still one more layer of mystery in this whole thing that has not been resolved, and that is something I should deal with."

...

...

One hour ago..

In one of the confined compartments, the spirit fire came out from the wall and was about to escape...

But it was collected into the treasure by Latio who was waiting nearby.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time." The calm and firm voice of Screwgum came from behind Latio.

Latio turned around suspiciously and faced ScrewGum, frowning, "The aftermath of the incident is still going on. You should have a lot of things to deal with, right? Or does the safety of the space station have nothing to do with you?"

ScrewGum looked directly into Latio's eyes and spoke slowly: "Answer: That's why I came here. After all, the real protagonist of the incident is here."

Latio's pupils shrank slightly, as if he was shocked by ScrewGum's words: "When did you start to doubt me?"

"People who engage in academic research always find it hard to believe one thing. ScrewGum quoted what Latio had said before, and added: "From the beginning, Mr. Latio, I have the same bad habits as you."

Latio looked puzzled. "I am honored, Mr. Screwgum, but since you have already seen through it, why didn't you say anything?"

"Out of curiosity, logic: I made the same decision as you: go along and observe."

A hint of interest flashed in Latio's eyes: "Oh... Then when did you become sure of it?"

"As for the results, apart from minor mental injuries, no staff member suffered substantial harm in the attack. This is not in line with the style of the Annihilation Gang. The logic is: it was a third party who saved them." Screw Gumm analyzed calmly.

Latio nodded gently: "If I hadn't accidentally obtained the spiritual fire and interfered with the transmission of the nether fire, those people would have been space junk floating outside the window."

"You are more honest than calculated."

Latio smiled slightly: "But it's in your calculation after all, isn't it?"

"One last question: ScrewGum, as a genius like you, can you figure out why I did this?"

ScrewGum pondered for a moment and spoke slowly: "I can't be sure, I can only make an inference: saving the weak is the kindness of a doctor, standing aside and letting the situation develop is the severity of a scholar, and staying behind the scenes and controlling the overall situation is a challenge to a genius."

Latio nodded slightly: "The king of Screw Star really understands people's hearts, but it's a pity that he is as far away from ordinary people as a genius. You are still wrong about one thing. Standing aside and watching is the real cure: there is a stubborn disease in this world called "stupidity", which is more difficult to eradicate than any other disease."

"The fate of intelligence has neither reason nor logic. Geniuses walk among the stars, but mediocre people cannot even catch up with their footprints. Mediocre people can only learn to walk independently and spend their lives in a mediocre way, but a failed life is also a life. They have the right to taste it to the end. Only when they fall to the ground and no one helps them up, can fools understand how to stand up."

"I have mysophobia and I can't stand fools, idiots, and idiots. When I see them, I want to die." Latio shook his head and sighed: "Unfortunately, this space station is just like the Academy of Knowledge. There are no geniuses, and it's full of mediocrity." Latio shook his head.

"What you want to eradicate is the clerks' blind faith in 'genius,'" said Screw-Gum.

"I just listed my doubts. As for the answers... they will understand them themselves. Seeking with a negative attitude is also a kind of seeking, which can also help us reach the right destination. If a group of mediocre people want to be enlightened, this is a necessary process."

"You really are more like a 'doctor' than a scholar," commented ScrewGum.

"But..as for the little sparks I left behind..." He paused, as if thinking.

"I believe Ester can handle it properly." ScrewGum said immediately.

Latio nodded: "This is also the task left for her. So, goodbye. I hope I can have the opportunity to meet geniuses in the future. I believe that by then, it will be like today..."

"It's just a farce, all these troubles are just... people worrying about nothing."

After saying this, Latio smashed the bottle of spiritual fire in his hand to the ground.

Then the spiritual fire possessed Latio's back.

Under the gaze of ScrewGum, Latio disappeared from the spot, leaving only the ball of spiritual fire floating in the air.

After that, ScrewGum regained the flame and turned away.
