Why did you provoke me?

A thin thread adorned a small oval ball, which spun rapidly in the air.

Grandma Flower hurriedly put it into a container. "Yu Meng, you can remove your lines now."

Yu Meng nodded. "Is this container really going to work? I think this little flower is very clever."

Granny Ruggieri was taken aback by her words. "How do you know it's intelligent?"

"It's my sixth sense. I feel like it's very comfortable inside, as if it's quite satisfied with that place." Yu Meng didn't hide her feeling.

Qingyuan looked at Yu Meng, "You really have that feeling?"

Yu Meng nodded.

Qingyuan looked at Granny Hua and said, "Big sister, Yu Meng has this feeling. Could it be that this alien has evolved again?"

Yu Meng was somewhat surprised by Qing Yuan's words. "She thought Qing Yuan would belittle her youth; a sixth sense is just a feeling, what can it prove? She thought Qing Yuan would condescendingly belittle her." Unexpectedly, she actually believed it.

"Yu Meng, what do you say?" Granny Hua asked.

Yu Meng blinked. "Grandma, what did I say? I don't know anything."

Granny Flower chuckled softly. "I'm completely confused now. What I mean is, how can I safely store this alien?"

Yu Meng asked, puzzled, "You still want to keep this alien alive? Aren't you going to kill it?"

"Kill it?" Qingyuan was taken aback by these words. "Yu Meng, do you think you can kill it?" Her voice was full of urgency.

"If you don't kill it, are you going to keep it? Didn't Grandma say this thing is dangerous?" Yu Meng's tone was full of doubt.

"Yes, yes, we want to kill it. But we just can't." Qingyuan's words were somewhat incoherent.

Yu Meng asked tentatively, "Aren't you putting it in this container to do research?"

Grandma Hua smiled wryly, "We want to study it, but we can't kill it, so we can't study it. And releasing it isn't something we can control. So we can only put it in this container?"

Grandma Hua put the container down, then turned to Yu Meng and said, "Yu Meng, are you feeling unwell? Let's go to the room over there and rest for a while."

Yu Meng shook her head, "It's alright."

The two soldiers behind looked at each other and followed. Although they seemed safe this time, they still wanted to hear more.

Yu Meng glanced at them. "Grandma, it's safe now. Aren't you going to let them go back?"

Grandma Hua turned her head and glanced at them. The two bowed and clasped their hands in a gesture of respect to Grandma Hua, implying that they should be allowed to hear the story as well.

"They are in charge of the base's defenses. They can make adjustments accordingly if they hear this," Granny Hua explained to Yu Meng.

Yu Meng showed no expression; she had unjustly acted like a villain. So Yu Meng made a decision: she would remain silent as much as possible, saying as few words as possible. Little did she know that this decision would cause many people in the base to suffer greatly later.

After entering the room and sitting down, a soldier cleverly poured a cup of tea for everyone.

"Yu Meng, the aliens we've collected are all live ones, so we can't conduct research on them. As soon as we release this container, it will find another host."

Yu Meng nodded. She remained silent.

"Yu Meng, can you kill it right now?"

"No, I need to look into it." Yu Meng didn't rule out the possibility of a definitive answer.

Grandma Hua clapped her hands. "Did I tell you I was confused? This isn't urgent, it can't be rushed in one night. Yu Meng has been on the road for so long and then removed the alien; she must be exhausted. Qingyuan, quick, quick, take her to rest. We can talk about the research tomorrow."

Qingyuan was a little embarrassed. "Yu Meng, don't blame me. I got so excited I forgot about it. Come on, I'll take you to rest. You can contact me if you need anything. Do you have a voicemail ring? How about we add each other as friends?"

Yu Meng did not refuse. She took out her communication bell and added Qingyuan and Granny Hua as friends. The two warriors also took out their communication bells. Seeing this, Yu Meng did not refuse and added them all.

Yu Meng went to her room, looked around, and then stopped caring. This was someone else's territory, and she had to keep her thoughts to herself.

Yu Meng wasn't in a hurry to do anything. Since she was already here, adjusting her mindset was the most important thing.

The three people she met today seemed alright. As long as they weren't targeting her personally, Yu Meng could tolerate them. Whether she did more or less work, she didn't care. After all, things like today's were no challenge for her at all.

Granny Hua and Qingyuan returned to the research lab together. "Big sister, this Yu Meng seems really amazing."

Granny Hua sat in a chair, looking exhausted. "She's not just good, she's an absolute genius."

Qingyuan poured Granny Hua a glass of water. "Sister, how are you feeling? That Yu Meng is very skilled; why don't you let her take a look? Maybe she can pull out a few lines and you'll be fine?"

"I'm already exhausted, I know my own situation. Qingyuan, you need to get to know Yu Meng as soon as possible. That child is different from other children, she's very guarded. You need to be patient and sincere. Don't rush it. The old charlatan said that this is someone he spent three years of his lifespan to calculate."

Qingyuan's eyes were filled with tears. "Big sister, I'll remember this."

Yu Meng was already asleep. She had been traveling for the past two days and got up late today, thinking she could finally rest. But she ended up traveling all day. In order to make Granny Hua see her value, she had used so many threads and done so much. How could she not be tired?

Yu Meng initially wanted to keep it a secret, but then she thought about it. There are so many extraordinary people and things in this world; maybe if she showed some value, at least she would be treated better. She had no hope of ever getting out of this place.

Although she didn't know what kind of organization it was, she knew that capital would drain every last bit of value from her. She couldn't resist because she didn't have that kind of capital.

The next day at noon, Granny Hua rushed to Yu Meng's room. "Qingyuan, Yu Meng is still not awake?"

Qingyuan's eyes were red. "They checked her out, and there's nothing wrong. She's just asleep and we can't wake her up. We should have stopped her yesterday."

Grandma Hua sat by the bedside. "It's alright. I don't care about you. You're not the only one who's worried. Yu Meng told me that if she doesn't wake up, it's okay. As long as she gets enough sleep, she'll wake up on her own."

"She really said that. They say that too much intelligence can be a curse, and perhaps this is Yu Meng's curse." Qingyuan stared intently at the little figure on the bed. "It's all our incompetence that allowed such a young child to come to a place like this. She should live a carefree life, find a good husband, and live a happy and fulfilling life."

Granny Hua smiled. "Do you regret doing this?"

"Of course I don't regret it. I was pulled out of the mud. If I hadn't met my older sister, it would be questionable whether I would have survived."

"Yes, if it weren't for this group of self-sacrificing people, this world might have long since become a land of aliens, and we would just be walking corpses." Granny Hua gently tucked the blanket around Yu Meng.
