"Our knowledge is limited, but it's growing. Human civilization has developed over thousands of years, but to this day, we still don't even know why we were born. I don't know where it all started. ”

"Didn't the universe start with a Big Bang? The dust from the explosion flew around, gradually cooling and condensing, forming galaxies, stars, planets, and countless moons. Among them, the planets with suitable environments have undergone a long period of evolution and have given birth to life, which has evolved over a long period of time, and finally produced wisdom and created civilization. ”

"Lili, you're right. You are a good boy, you have learned well from the books. But these are just the views of the Ace people of our time on the 'origin of life'. ”

"Isn't that right?"

"You can't say it's wrong. But this is by no means the whole truth. ”

"What's the whole truth?"

"Look at the stars shining in the sky. To know the whole truth. We must first fly out of Ace and go to the stars to find out. Only then will we be able to break out of Ace's limitations and unravel more unsolved mysteries that may never be solved on Ace. ”

"They. How many stars are there in the sky? ”

"So far, no one has counted. In the future, there may not be a number of people. ”

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven..." Young Lili had a newborn calf's spirit of not being afraid of tigers, and when she heard Etlord say that, she was excited and counted the stars one by one, but like everyone who tried the activity, it didn't take long for her to understand what the impossible was.

"How's it going, are you tired?"

"Hmm. At first glance, it seems that you can count them all, but when you start counting, you will find that there are really too many of them, and they are so small that you can't count them at all. ”

"Haha. Actually, the stars you can see are much bigger than the Ace star, much bigger than the sun. Planets like Ace are even more innumerable in this vast sea of stars. ”

"Huh? On those planets, are there also Lili and Mu Li? ”

"Maybe that's a child. Maybe they're counting the stars, too. ”

"It's amazing. I really want to go to the sea of stars to have a look. ”

"Okay. Then let's work together. Let the Ace civilization fly out of Ace and towards the sea of stars. ”

"Good!"

The weak starlight suddenly turned into a scorching white light, scorching and shattering Lili's childhood memories.

When Lili woke up from the reminiscing dream, the harsh sunlight was shining through the cracks in the curtains on her face.

After a moment's moment, Lili finds herself lying on Derek's bed, undressed, and Derek nowhere to be seen.

Lili, who didn't know Derek's whereabouts, had just gotten up with a drowsy feeling and propped up the bed with her slender jade arms, only to see that Derek, who was smiling, had already pushed a dining cart into the room himself.

"Lili, it's time for you to wake up. Did you sleep well? ”

"Why are you up? When did I fall asleep? ”

"I woke up in the middle of the night. Seeing you sleeping in a chair, he carried you to bed. ”

"Uh...

"After carrying you to bed, I found myself hungry, so I went downstairs to look for something to eat. After eating, it was almost dawn. So I tried and made you a breakfast. But in the end, it failed. I had to ask the chef to remake it for you. ”

Watching Derek smile and uncover one plate after another, and fill the desk in front of the bedroom bookcase, Lili suddenly felt that he was so sunny, handsome, gentlemanly and warm-hearted, and her heart couldn't help but rise with a burst of inexplicable joy, and the corners of her mouth inadvertently raised a wonderful arc.

The first time he saw Lili smiling at him, Derek was naturally overjoyed and felt full of strength, and immediately used the skills he had learned all his life, supplemented by years of accumulated food conversations, to serve Lili a unique private breakfast.

While Derek added joy to Lili's breakfast with his witty words, the "Ace Notice" program was moving forward smoothly and smoothly.

According to the plan, Etlord's super artificial intelligence system will directly enter the communication satellites and media of major countries through hacking methods, and broadcast alien warnings to everyone in the Ess countries.

The reason why Etlord formulated and implemented this action, known as the "Ess Circular", was to further influence public opinion and make it develop in a direction conducive to the unification of Es.

Since the alien rescue incident, although the presidents of all major countries have made speeches one after another according to Etlord's script, and there is no obvious opposition among the top levels of the government, public opinion in various countries has not bought it.

Although Etlord once influenced public opinion by playing tricks on online search engines, the effective influence of this method was quite short-lived.

Within a few days, from high-level intellectuals in the scientific community to boys and girls still receiving compulsory education, all kinds of criticism, questioning, and opposition from people from all walks of life against the series of events of the Science and Technology Summit were heard endlessly, and they were widely disseminated through various media.

In recent days, some people even feel that the presidents and even all the senior leaders of various countries have long been controlled by aliens, and call on the people to impeach the president and senior leaders for their own safety and that of all mankind.

In order to reverse the disturbing public opinion situation in Etlord without paying the price of heavy casualties, Etlord decided to immediately implement the "Ess Notice" plan.

The biggest difficulty in the entire "Ace Announcement" plan lies in the invasion of the satellites and media of the Harmonic Country. Because all media networks in Harmony are escorted by a security system established by the national security agencies, it is as difficult to hack into them as it is to break into the internal networks of the Ministry of Defense of most countries and steal secret information. Therefore, it took some time for the super artificial intelligence to implant the Trojan horse program that was launched regularly into the major media networks of the country.

In addition to relying on supercomputers to carry out network infiltration, Etlord also dispatched on-site action teams formed by Zelong and other humanoid all-round robots to the downtown areas of major countries. Their task is to install special controllers on the most densely populated commercial streets in major cities, so that they can simultaneously broadcast relevant video information when the media releases the "Ace Announcement".

"Nope! No! ”

But even with all the preparations in place, Etlord wasn't entirely confident that the successful implementation of this somewhat whimsical plan would actually bring about the results he had expected.

After all, the Ace Humanity has long since bid farewell to the era of ignorance of gullible ghosts and spirits, and the political unity of the planet without paying the high price of hundreds of millions of lives has never appeared in the history of Ess Planet.

Because of this, the worried Etlord woke up from a nightmare.

"Nightmare?" Mary, who was running on a nearby treadmill, heard Etlord shouting, grabbed a glass of water and walked up to him.

"Ugh... Etlord sighed grossly, rubbed his eyes that weren't quite awake, and pressed his temples again before taking the water Mary handed him and drinking it.

The moment he took Mary's water glass, Etlord noticed that Mary's set of pure white low-neck tight-fitting sports vests revealed the plump curves of her upper body, and the fine sweat on her translucent red skin exuded a refreshing fragrance with her body temperature, which made Etlord think of Haruko, and even couldn't help but feel a physiological reaction that made him feel embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Etlord suddenly looked at herself in a daze after taking the water glass, Mary couldn't help but smile.

"Ahh It's nothing. Sensing that Mary was knowingly asking, Etlord took another sip of water, turned his gaze away, and tried to say, "How long have I been asleep?" "to hide your heart.

"More than 6 hours." Mary was also very cooperative with Etlord, answering his questions.

"6 hours? Impossible. I only injected for an hour, huh? ”

"My Chaos Altar is the best place to sleep in this fortress. You haven't slept in days. It's not surprising that I slept here for a few more hours. Mary sneered.

Seeing Etlord's confused expression, she smiled and added, "Okay. The preparations for the 'Ess Circular' have all been successfully completed. So, I took it upon myself to let you sleep a little longer. However, even though it's eight hours, you haven't even slept enough for seven hours. It can be seen that you, the psychological pressure is too great, it's time to relax. ”

"Alas. It depends on whether this 'Ace Notice' can be carried out smoothly. ”

"Don't worry." As she spoke, Mary placed one hand on the other side of the bed that Etlord had not taken the glass.

The warmth of Mary's palms sped up Etlord's already fast heartbeat. However, he just took another sip of water, then put down the glass, took Mary's hand in both hands, and smiled at her, "Thank you, Mary." Now that everything is ready, it's time for me to give the final order of action. ”

With that, Etlord got up and got out of bed, boarded the flying car parked next to the bed, and flew out of the Chaos Altar.
