Panic and despair permeated the air.

Fortunately, Alan and other middle managers stepped forward.

Adler's original investigation report has also received attention.

The six departments—Political Science and Law, Secret Documents, Geography, Applied Physics, Boundary and Species, and Defense—united and each did their best.

During the investigation, it was discovered that the people in the various departments were not united at all.

There's no passing the buck, no passing the buck, and no complaining.

Everything was displayed vividly.

This change at this moment took the audience by surprise.

novel

The scattered spirit fire was also completely sealed away by Star and Screw Gum.

The consciousness of the Underworld Fire Duke attached to it was also dissolved.

And another piece of good news has arrived.

While Xing was pursuing the Spirit Fire, the Defense Department found the missing people.

They were transported into a spatial artifact, which was then dissected by experts from the World Species.

Everyone inside was safe, including Estádio.

……

Ah, that's it? It's so different from the breeding order that Ruan Mei produced.

Damn it, I was so excited! I thought the Netherfire Guild was finally going to make an appearance, but it turned out to be just a clone.

The Annihilation Gang's actions started off a bit anticlimactic. Damn, after all that, not a single person died.

Although this is a good thing... well... but when I saw Grand Duke of the Underworld appear, I was actually quite looking forward to it, it wasn't what I imagined.

Huanlong almost capsized the immortal ship!

: The crown of mediocrity and the crown of divinity. Nguyen Mai’s genius was on full display, but what about mediocrity?

I believe miHoYo won't be disappointed; there might be more to come?

……

What the audience is looking forward to.

It is the appearance of the Annihilation Gang as the villains, who then engage in a battle with the space station.

However, the Grand Duke only sent a clone, which was easily dealt with.

Even those who were teleported away did not suffer any real harm.

This contrasts sharply with the impact the Destruction faction has on its fans.

Just when everyone thought this farce was about to end.

After suppressing his spiritual fire, Screw Gumu politely bid farewell to Xing.

"With this matter settled, I believe the remaining turmoil can be quelled on its own within the space station. On behalf of Ms. Black Tower, I thank you for your efforts, Madam."

"However, there is still one question that remains unresolved in the whole incident."

“That’s something I should deal with.”

After saying this, Screw Gum left.

The scene shifts, and a humanoid flame emerges from a wall of the space station.

It cautiously traversed the air, furtively surveying its surroundings.

suddenly!

It spotted something, its eyes widened instantly, and it began to flee desperately.

A powerful force pulled it back from behind, dragging it into a container.

The camera zooms out.

The man who controlled the container revealed his true colors.

It's Ladio!

Just as the professor revealed a smile.

But then came the calm voice of Screw Gum from behind: "I've been waiting for you, Professor."

"Humph……"

"You must have a lot of things to take care of, or is the safety of the space station none of your business?"

Ladio gave a cold laugh and turned his head away.

"Answer: That's exactly why I came here, after all, the real protagonist of this story is right here."

"Screw Gum said calmly."

……

:ah?

As expected, miHoYo won't let us down. What kind of plot twist is this?

Wait, the professor is a bad guy? The professor is the one who started this!?

But why? What benefit would this bring to the professor, especially since the Grand Duke actually made an appearance.

Could it be that the professor has joined the Annihilation Gang?

Wait a minute, what's the motive? What's the goal?

I always felt that Professor Latio was like the mastermind behind everything, manipulating everything! And I was right!

That can't be right, maybe ScrewGumm made a mistake?

……

The audience was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information.

I simply can't believe the professor would do something like this.

however.

on the screen.

Ladio offered no explanation, instead directly asking, "...When did you start to doubt me?"

In a single sentence, the true instigator was immediately identified.

"People who do research always find it hard to believe something. On the contrary, it is much easier to question it."

“At first, Mr. Ladio, I had the same bad habits as you.”

Screw Gum remained elegant and composed.

In other words, from the very beginning of the disappearance case, Slugum suspected Latio.

Screws didn't explain the logic and reasons behind this, and the audience couldn't figure it out either.

And when it came to something so outrageous, his suspicions were actually correct!

Is this genius?

The fans were shocked.

“I am deeply honored, Mr. Screws, but since you have already seen through it all, why have you remained silent, and how are you so certain?”

Ladio asked in a relaxed manner, one hand on his hip.

They showed no panic whatsoever at the discovery of the truth.

"The reason for not exposing it was out of curiosity, the logic being: I made the same decision as you, as a colleague, and as an observer."

"Question: When will we be certain that Mr. Ladio is the man behind it all?"

"Conclusion: In terms of results, apart from minor psychological damage, no staff member suffered substantial harm in this attack, which is inconsistent with the practices of the Extinction Gang."

"Logic: It was a third person who saved them."

Screw Gum finished expressing his opinion.

Ladio nodded and said, "If I hadn't accidentally obtained the seed of the Spirit Fire and interfered with the transmission of the Netherfire, those people would have been nothing but garbage floating in space long ago."

"You are more honest than calculated."

"Screw Gum commented."

It was only at this point that the audience finally understood the whole story.

……

It's true that Grand Duke Hellfire wanted to overthrow the space station, and it's also true that he unleashed Hellfire!

But Ladio had already noticed this, and even controlled one of them, and could interfere with the staff's teleportation.

In other words, this farce took place under the professor's watchful eye.

If the professor had said it back then, none of this would have happened.

But the professor not only didn't say anything, he even tacitly approved of all of this happening.

……

Ladio's behavior made him even more mysterious and unpredictable in the eyes of the audience.

at this time.

Ladio, who had already seen through her, also asked a question to Screwgoom.

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

I've had my doubts about Ladio's Screw Gum since the very beginning.

However, we are unable to provide a real answer now.

"I cannot be certain, but I can only make inferences: helping the weak is an act of kindness; then standing idly by and letting things escalate is the severity of a scholar."

"And staying behind the scenes is a challenge to geniuses."

From both a logical and emotional standpoint, this seems to be the most correct answer.

It also perfectly matches Ladio's background and experiences.

Unable to join the genius club, he wanted to use this opportunity to prove himself.

This is the arrogance of a scholar.

The audience largely agreed with this argument.

After all, this is the most reasonable explanation.

however.

Upon hearing these remarks, Ladio turned around.

"The king of the Screw Star is indeed insightful, but unfortunately, like geniuses, he is far removed from ordinary people—you are still wrong about one thing."

“Standing by and doing nothing is the real cure: there is a stubborn disease in this world called dullness, which is harder to cure than any other disease.”

Ladio walked to the window, looked at the starry sky, and crossed his arms.

"The fate of knowledge is neither reasonable nor logical; geniuses stroll among the stars, while mediocre ones cannot even follow in their footsteps."

"Mediocre people can only learn to walk independently and spend their lives in mediocrity, falling down and getting back up."

"But a life of failure is still a life, and people have the right to taste it to the end; and only when they fall to the ground and no one helps them up can fools realize when to stand up."

"I have OCD. I can't stand idiots, fools, or morons. I feel like dying when I see them."

"Unfortunately, this space station, like the Academy of Knowledge, has no geniuses, only mediocre people."

Screws understood Latio's thoughts: "What you want to eradicate is the clerks' blind faith in genius."

Ladio spread his hands: "I have only listed my questions. As for the answers, they will explain them themselves. This is an inevitable process for a group of mediocre people to become enlightened."

"You are more like a doctor than a scholar."
