"Of course not, but theyâre still young and canât control such dangerous abilities. We need to be extra careful during this initial period after their birth," Su Jiameng said, a hint of worry creeping into her expression. "I speak from experience about the power of telekinesis."
"Given the current circumstances, with such abilities, they have no choice but to hide and not let anyone know. Otherwise... Iâd have to burst into the labs to rescue the two children before theyâre dissected, and then go on the run."
Su Jiamengâs attempt at humor fell flat; no one could laugh. She continued, "Do you know what the limits of humanâor rather, all interstellar beingsâ mental and physical capabilitiesâare? According to the schoolâs standard answer, it should be 3S, right?"
Connecting this to Su Jiamengâs earlier words, Gu Ningzhi felt a chill down his spine, as a terrifying possibility dawned on him. "Are you saying..."
"For a Mind Power User, 3S is far from the limit! To this day, I still donât know where that ultimate limit lies."
Before leaving the military in her past life, Su Jiameng recorded her stats as mental 3S, physical 3S, and telekinesis Level Four. In reality, her capabilities far exceeded the so-called 3S, but since there was no further classification, she simply used "3S" as a placeholder.
"Only with telekinesis can you break the shackles of 3S." Su Jiameng looked at Gu Ningzhiâs slightly pale and shocked face and suddenly smiled with a bit of mischief. "That means, Uncle Gu Ningzhi, thirty years from now, you might be a 3S expert, but sixty years later, you could still be stuck at that barrier, while I would have smoothly moved ahead of you..."
Gu Ningzhi grumbled good-naturedly at that remark, "Thatâs assuming you can live that long, young lady!"
"Donât you worry. As they say, troublemakers live forever. I plan to live for a long, long time..." Su Jiameng shifted the topic abruptly and said, "I know youâre skeptical about everything weâve talked about today, maybe even dismissing it all. But as time passes, I believe youâll come to see the truth. Letâs not digress further and focus on our cooperation."
Recognizing that Su Jiameng had access to more information than he did, Gu Ningzhi simply sat back and listened.
"The âdangerous creaturesâ youâre referring to are actually an entirely unfamiliar and extremely dangerous race, same as humans, both are interstellar species." Su Jiamengâs tone turned mocking, "But this race is just a bunch of insects driven by instinct, violence, and hunger. Everything and every being, aside from themselves, are just food."
In Su Jiamengâs view, whether it be humans, the Insect Race, or other interstellar species, as long as they exist in this world, they have the right to surviveâexistence justifies reason! However, existing doesnât mean they have the right to deprive other species of their survival.
She remembered how fools in her previous life would naively say, "The Insect Race invades other species for survival. High-level insects are even smarter than humans and necessary for existence." Yet Su Jiameng thought, humans fight back against the Insect Race fiercely, risking life and limb, for survival too!
Does it mean the Insect Raceâs survival-driven slaughter is justified, but humanity and other species fighting back is wrong?
To those morons with an imagination as vast as a black hole, Su Jiameng only wanted to say: Why do you high-minded idiots hide behind the safety barricade forged by the blood of Alliance Warriors? If you have what it takes, go out and be lovey-dovey with the Insect Race!
In all honesty, she was undoubtedly a pro-war advocate! As for the Insect Race, she would kill every one she saw, and if she saw two, sheâd kill both! Sheâd show no mercy! Sheâd sooner believe faithful men exist than believe there are Insect Races that donât kill humans!
"Moreover, the evolution of the Insect Race is rapid. By consuming other creatures or energy, they can achieve evolution comparable to tens of thousands of human years in just over a decade. Plus, high-level insects often possess telekinesis. When facing such formidable foes..."
Su Jiameng pursed her lips, involuntarily recalling the high-level insect that had once contaminated her instructorâs genes. It was a nightmare.
"How do you know... about the so-called Insect Raceâs information?"
And she seemed to know it in such vivid detail. Gu Ningzhi only knew the organisms studied in the labs were terrifying but never imagined theyâd link to such hidden truths, or that sheâd sound so confident, as if revealing the real state of affairs.
Oddly enough, the person unveiling these secrets was a sixteen-year-old girl... How was he supposed to believe her?
Su Jiameng said plainly, "Even if you donât believe it now, one day you will. The true terror of the Insect Race isnât just their swift evolution but their reproduction capacity. A pregnant and capable Insect Race can produce tens of thousands of offspring in just half a month, and the entire Qiming Star wouldnât suffice for their familyâs fortnightly meals..."
"As for why I know... I canât tell you now. Maybe youâll learn the truth of this secret from me someday, or maybe youâll never know. It depends entirely on my mood, whether or not I feel like revealing it..."
Gu Ningzhi was momentarily embarrassed by Su Jiamengâs metaphor and her audacious words, unsure of how to respond. Still, he made a firm internal vow to uncover Su Jiamengâs past completely!
"You now know what you should, and donât attempt to learn what you shouldnât for now. In this world, the ones who die quickest are often those who know too much. Be careful, donât lose your life."
