The group entered the villa's living room.

Lu Xiao walked in front, casually tossing his keys onto the cabinet. He went straight to the armchair and sank into it.

Yan, A-Zhui, and Mo Yi didn't stand on ceremony. Yan glanced around the living room, walked to the middle of the sofa, and sat down, with A-Zhui and Mo Yi on either side of her. The three angels sat casually, their eyes lingering on Lu Xiao.

Du Qiangwei and A-Jie stood in the center of the living room. Qiangwei stood ramrod straight, while A-Jie stood slightly behind and to her side, scanning between Angel and Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao pointed to the refrigerator: "No tea, no coffee. Only water. Help yourself."

After he finished speaking, he adjusted his posture, leaned back on the sofa, and closed his eyes to rest.

Du Qiangwei didn't move. She stepped forward and said, "Mr. Lu Xiao."

Her voice was flat: "Now that you're here, I'll get straight to the point. Regarding the 'Blue Giant' incident that happened in Tokyo two days ago, and your violent acts against civilian Liu Chuang in Giant City today, the national security department has obtained conclusive evidence."

According to our intelligence analysis, the armored unit that destroyed half of Tokyo was you.

Lu Xiao didn't even lift her eyelids, her fingers unconsciously tapping on the armrest.

Seeing that he didn't react, Rose frowned and quickened her pace: "Now is not the time to assign blame. We have detected large-scale unidentified energy fluctuations in the outer reaches of the solar system."

The Great Worm Bridge has been activated, and the vanguard is about to arrive on Pluto. This is an invasion war against all of humanity.

She pulled a black ID from her pocket and showed it to Lu Xiao: "Super God Academy belongs to the national military defense system. We are currently forming the Super Soldier Company, gathering all the super gene inheritors on Earth."

This is an asymmetric war; conventional firepower cannot penetrate the Taotie's interstellar warships. We need your strength; the nation needs you. Join us; it is your responsibility as a human being.

Rose finished speaking in one breath, staring at Lu Xiao, waiting for his response. In her view, any capable Earthling should respond to an alien invasion.

Lu Xiao stopped tapping on the armrest.

He raised his eyelids, glanced at Rose, and then let out a sneer.

"laugh."

He was so tired of hearing these official platitudes that he was practically sick of them. They might fool a college student like Ge Xiaolun, but to him they were incredibly annoying.

Taotie? Those grunts that are only fit to be used as practice by Astartes, do they even deserve to be called an invader?

Lu Xiao turned her head to one side, looking at the swimming pool outside the window, and found it much more interesting than the chattering woman in front of her.

Enraged by the sneer, Rose took a step forward, her voice rising: "What are you laughing at? Do you think this is a joke? Once the Taotie launches a full-scale attack, Giant Hero City, and even the entire China, will be reduced to scorched earth! If you have the ability, you should..."

"Okay, okay, that's enough."

A languid voice interrupted her. Yan leaned back on the sofa armrest, propped her chin up with one hand, and waved the other hand impatiently.

"I said, that little red-haired girl," Yan looked at Qiangwei with a playful smile, "Save those words for those naive kids. Look, they're almost falling asleep listening to you."

Rose turned her head sharply and glared at Yan: "This is an internal affair of Earth, and it's none of the angels' business to interfere."

"Earth?" Yan raised an eyebrow, twirling a strand of golden hair between her fingers. "Under the rule of justice, the survival of any civilization is related to angels. However..."

Yan turned her gaze to Lu Xiao, the playfulness in her eyes turning into inquiry: "We didn't come here today to hear you recite official documents. We're just simply curious."

Ah Zhui picked up the conversation, leaning forward slightly and staring at Lu Xiao: "That's right. A warrior with purely physical abilities, without any dark energy fluctuations, can tear apart tanks and blow up toilets with his bare hands. We've never seen this kind of fighting style in the database of the known universe."

We just wanted to see what these so-called "Space Marines" were all about. We just wanted to get to know them, nothing more.

Yan nodded and added, "Yes, I just came to drop by and see what's interesting. After all, there are only a handful of 'black holes' in tens of thousands of years that even the Eye of Insight can't read the data from."

Left out in the cold, Rose's face turned pale. She gritted her teeth, trying to steer the conversation back on track: "Lu Xiao! I'm talking to you about serious business! This isn't a matter of your personal likes or dislikes; it's a matter of national survival."

Lu Xiao yawned widely.

Rose's voice came to an abrupt end.

She stared at Lu Xiao in disbelief. She was talking about war, death, and destruction, and this man was yawning?

Lu Xiao wiped her eyes, sat up straighter, and looked calmly at Qiangwei: "Are you finished?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it was clear in the quiet living room.

Rose was stunned: "What?"

"I'm asking you, are you done?" Lu Xiao repeated, her tone completely flat. "Have you finished reciting all those grand principles and official rhetoric?"

Rose opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything for a moment.

"If you're done talking, you can leave now." Lu Xiao raised her hand and pointed towards the door. "Take care, and don't bother seeing me out."

The air in the living room froze instantly.

Standing behind Qiangwei, A-Jie suddenly stepped forward: "Lu Xiao! Watch your attitude! Qiangwei is here to speak with you on behalf of the leader! You are refusing the country's conscription!"

Lu Xiao's gaze shifted from Qiangwei's face to A-Jie's hand, which was resting on the holster.

His eyes changed.

The previous laziness and boredom turned into murderous intent.

A-Jie felt like he was being watched. His intuition told him that if he dared to draw his gun, his head would be gone in the next second.

Rose reached out and stopped A-Jie.

She suppressed her anger. She could see that Lu Xiao was unyielding, neither to be persuaded by soft words nor by hard tactics.

"Okay." Rose nodded, giving Lu Xiao one last look. "You'll regret this. When war comes, no one can remain unscathed."

After saying that, she turned around abruptly.

"Ah Jie, let's go."

Ah Jie glared at Lu Xiao resentfully, then turned and followed Qiangwei.

The two walked quickly out of the villa, and the door slammed shut behind them.

As the car engine noise faded into the distance, only Lu Xiao and the three angels remained in the living room.

Yan laughed out loud: "Hehehe, that's really something. Kicking the people from the Super God Academy out of the house, you're probably the first person on Earth to do that. I like your personality. Those people who keep spouting platitudes are really annoying."

Lu Xiao ignored her praise. He stood up, walked to the refrigerator, took out a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap, and took a swig.

"Aren't you leaving yet?" He put down the water bottle and looked at Yan.

"Don't rush me." Yan stood up and walked to Lu Xiao. "That red-haired girl was annoying, but she was right about one thing. The Taotie are indeed coming. Although you may see them as just cannon fodder, they are definitely a problem for Earth."

As Yan spoke, she flipped her wrist, revealing a silver-white tablet computer and a virtual reality headset in her hand.

She handed the two items to Lu Xiao.

"I know you're not interested in our justice and order, nor in the Super God Academy," Yan smiled slyly. "But I think you should be interested in this."

Lu Xiao looked down.

The tablet's screen was lit, displaying the game launch screen for Space Marine II. Blue power armor, a golden double-headed eagle insignia, and that iconic chainsaw sword.

"This is data that Moy scraped from your Earth's network," Yan explained. "However, I also did some optimizations for you. The graphics have been improved to the atomic level, with fully immersive gameplay. In addition, I cracked all the locked content, including those unreleased DLC campaigns."

She shoved the tablet and VR device into Lu Xiao's arms: "Consider this game a gift from me to you."

Lu Xiao held the equipment, her fingers touching the cold metal casing.

Yan took a step back, creating some distance: "We also want to see how the legendary Space Marines fight these bugs. We hope you can show us in the game."

After saying that, she waved to A-Zhui and Mo Yi behind her: "Let's go."

A-Zhui and Mo-Yi stood up. As A-Zhui passed by Lu Xiao, she stopped and gave him a serious look.

"I really want to have a match with you next time I have the chance."

Lu Xiao: "There will be an opportunity."

Ah-Zhui smiled, revealing two sharp canine teeth, and turned to follow Yan.
