The crowd waited until the Tuoluos had truly left before shouting, "We're free, we're free!"
Pang Jiadong was stunned. "Then what about me?"
A Tuoluo officer told him, "You are human. Naturally, you must stay here."
"But they'll kill me?"
"This has nothing to do with us Tuoluos."
With that, they paid him no more attention.
Pang Jiadong got into his car and sped away from the scene.
In the conference room on the Death Star, Orcaz watched the large screen. "This Blue Star is truly a good place. No wonder my daughter is so fond of it."
Orcaz suddenly remembered something. "Right, that Pang Jiadong still has some value. Keep a close eye on this person for me."
"Yes!"
The entire G City, no, the entire world, the capture of aliens, starting from within the Gatekeeper's Association, had become a matter for all humanity. Everyone looked at each other as if they were aliens, and the entire world plunged into a crisis of trust overnight.
Meanwhile, Xiao Xun knew he was in deep trouble.
If you are humanity's only hope, then you are the greatest sinner in human history.
Within the Gatekeeper's Association, Kensett, with his unclean past, was arrested again and intended to be handed over to the Tuoluos in batches.
Originally, Su Xiang's rank meant he had little to do with these VIPs, but his personality landed him in trouble. He never concealed his opinions and felt compelled to speak his mind.
During the Gatekeeper's Association's anti-alien traitor convention, Chief of Staff Su Xiang actually stood up to defend Xiao Xun publicly, stating he had no intention of changing his views. His official position wasn't that important anyway; if they wanted to dismiss him, so be it. Even if they cut off his head, he would not yield.
A leader presiding over the meeting reprimanded him with great disappointment, "Su Xiang, you are a veteran of the Gatekeeper's Association, one of the leaders of the 'Cradle Plan.' Since joining Sector Eight, you have not been captured by aliens. Your record is absolutely clean, and you have both contributions and hard work to your name.
But why are you so stubborn? So many staff members have submitted self-criticisms and drawn a line between themselves and Kensett's extraterrestrial forces, and they all passed. Why are you so obstinate? What benefits did Kensett and Xiao Xun give you that you persist in your error? Do you still want your position? Su Xiang, listen to me, you must state your position now. Remaining silent is unacceptable."
Su Xiang's resistance caused a huge uproar, and his arrest was immediately announced.
As Su Xiang was being handcuffed, he remained defiant. He shouted to the hundreds of people in the hall, "Our Blue Star is in danger. This atmosphere is too abnormal. Even a person with outstanding contributions is branded a traitor to the planet. If this continues, no one will be safe in the future. Good people will become fewer and fewer, and scoundrels will increase. What hope does this planet have? If I had known this, I, Su Xiang, should not have joined the Gatekeeper's Association!"
"...What the hell is an 'old timer'? Definitely a space spy infiltrated into our ranks..."
"Down with the traitor Su Xiang..."
When Xiao Xun learned of Su Xiang's fate, his face turned pale. He neither ate nor drank, nor uttered a word, sitting for a whole night as if his soul had left his body.
The next morning, he discovered his hair had turned white overnight. His surging passion vanished, replaced only by cold disappointment.
Xiao Xun used his spatial ring to return to his villa, only to find that the rebuilt villa had been reduced to ashes again.
And because of the Tuoluos' handsome and beautiful appearance, they quickly became subjects of extensive promotion on online media and television.
Even the posters in shopping malls featured the likeness of the Tuoluos.
When Xiao Xun returned to his hometown, he discovered that all his relatives had been arrested.
They said they would only release them when Xiao Xun personally surrendered.
Previously, arresting space spies was to prevent them from selling Blue Star's secrets and harming Blue Star. Now, arresting planetary traitors was to ensure Blue Star's interests.
Apart from Xiao Xun, who was specifically targeted, the remaining people taken to the Death Star were, without exception, those who had been framed by schemers suppressing dissent.
However, at the same time, when things reach their extreme, a reaction occurs, creating many rebels. They believed that those who groundlessly accused their compatriots of being space spies, especially those who seized the opportunity to profit and eliminate rivals, were the true human traitors.
Orcaz was overjoyed upon learning this. "Now we have a reason to step in."
He announced through the planet's loudspeaker, "Esteemed citizens, I know this planet is in a time of crisis. I will personally lead our people to G City to investigate."
Chu Ningxiang said to Orcaz, "Dad, I want to go too."
"No, you absolutely cannot go."
"No, I insist on going."
A small landing craft departed from the Death Star and landed in G City Square, where Pang Jiadong had been waiting.
"Welcome, King of the Death Star, Princess, Guardian God, and distinguished leaders."
Orcaz said with a cold face, "Pang Jiadong, do you have any good news?"
Pang Jiadong smiled and replied, "We are apprehending them, we are apprehending them."
"Why haven't we found that Xiao Xun yet?"
"It's not that we're incompetent, it's just that the enemy is too cunning..."
Orcaz arrived at the square, where the entire city's population had been gathered, and all media outlets had commenced live broadcasts.
"To protect your safety, we have decided to live among you in this city starting today and will select new administrators for you."
Unexpectedly, the crowd began to slowly approach. "Is this the good life you speak of?"
"What does this mean?"
One man shouted, "Our human affairs are for us to handle. We don't need your management."
"Yes, we don't need your help."
"Scram!"
"Leave here."
"Get out of Blue Star."
Orcaz snorted and left. The Guardian God shouted, "All citizens of G City, pay attention! Return to your residences immediately, or you will be killed without mercy."
"Your Highness, merely observing is not enough. We must make them unable to lift their heads. How can we be considered rulers now!"
Orcaz slammed the table. "A mistake! Why did we choose such a stubborn place? We should have used force and combined it with ideological control."
"Now I have decided that anyone with suspicious whereabouts or who disobeys orders will be executed without mercy."
"Yes!"
Xiao Xun led the resistance army, rescued Kensett, resolved the crisis of the Gatekeeper's Association, and launched a full-scale counterattack.
The original humans and Tuoluo soldiers were no match.
"Since they are so ignorant of proper conduct, we will destroy this planet."
Chu Ningxiang stopped Orcaz. "Dad, how can you do this? Didn't you promise to help me take this planet?"
"Then flatten G City and let them see what deterrence is. Our power is unmatched in the three-dimensional world."
"Good, this will also serve as a strong warning to humans elsewhere on Blue Star."
Cuidiels said, "In that case, we cannot use the Star Annihilator."
"We have plenty of equipment, let's use the electromagnetic railgun."
"Yes."
The electromagnetic railgun on the Death Star was aimed at G City. Xiao Xun had already prepared a counter-strategy. He discovered that the electromagnetic field generated by the original humans was stronger than ordinary energy shields. He relied on this to withstand the destructive power of the electromagnetic railgun and protect G City from harm.
"The opponent actually possesses such power. It seems we need to use some special means."
Oncolai patted his chest. "It's just a few big robots! My brother and I can each take a few and destroy them."
"You go! To ensure safety, bring those mindless monsters with you."
"Yes!"
This cannot continue. Xiao Xun used his spatial ring to reach the Death Star, intending to resolve the matter single-handedly. The saying goes, to catch the king, first catch the thief.
The many people wrongly accused of being spies on the Death Star were held together, sitting on the ground with ashen faces.
Several Tuoluos were about to 'enjoy' these beautiful 'female spies'.
"Stop!"
A sharp command startled everyone.
The Tuoluos turned to look. "Who are you?"
"My name is Xiao Xun."
The Tuoluos were shocked. "You are Xiao Xun?"
Orcaz, having received the news, approached and looked at the ordinary young man before him. "Xiao Xun..."
Chu Ningxiang said to Orcaz, "Father, this is the Xiao Xun I told you about."
"It's him!"
Xiao Xun leaped forward in front of Orcaz. "You want me. Release them all."
Orcaz was furious. "You? Daring to negotiate with me? I want to see what abilities you have."
Xiao Xun revealed his magic sword. "Then let me show you what I can do."
Orcaz was greatly troubled. Why did this brat show up precisely when the Guardian God was absent?
However, backing down now was out of the question. He also produced a magnetic gun. "Today, I will show you the technology of our Tuoluo people."
Xiao Xun flickered, raising his sword and slashing. "Nothing more than this."
"Stop! Did you hear me?"
The Tuoluo, holding his gun, brought out the "spies."
"Lower your weapons."
Xiao Xun looked at the innocent eyes behind him. "Alright, I'll put them down. Can you let them go?"
"Of course. As a prince of the Tuoluo people, I keep my word."
Xiao Xun blocked the sword in front of him. "You release half of them first."
"You are not qualified to negotiate with me. At worst, these innocent people will be my escorts in death."
"You call yourself a prince, yet your words are like those of a scoundrel."
Orcaz directly pulled the trigger, firing a green beam. Xiao Xun, with a backhand, deflected it with his magic sword.
"Hmph! I knew it."
"Attack!"
The people who were brought up also seized the opportunity to snatch the Tuoluos' guns, instantly turning the situation around.
The Tuoluos were only technologically superior; in terms of physical ability, they were truly no match for the Blue Star people.
Xiao Xun laughed heartily. "Now the advantage is with me."
"Is that so? That's not necessarily true."
