第107章 "Truths Entwined in Deceit"

**Chapter 107: The Web of Accusations**

程星's eyes never left the engineer's face as she felt her anger and frustration building. "You're telling me that the universe is on the brink of collapse, and you're expecting me to just accept it?" She couldn't believe the words she was hearing.

The engineer, Dr. Li, shifted uncomfortably in his seat. "程星, I understand it's a lot to take in, but we have to face the facts. The universe is unraveling, and we're running out of time."

程星's glare intensified. "And what about the mysterious signals? You're saying that's all just a coincidence? That it has nothing to do with the collapse?"

Dr. Li sighed. "程星, we've been over this. The signals are just a distraction. We can't let our attention be divided when the fate of the universe is at stake."

程星's jaw clenched. "I don't believe you. You're hiding something from me. You're hiding something from everyone."

Dr. Li's expression turned defensive. "程星, I'm not hiding anything. I'm just trying to protect humanity from the truth. We're not ready for what's coming."

程星's eyes flashed with accusation. "You're saying that humanity is too stupid to handle the truth? That we're too weak?"

Dr. Li's voice rose. "程星, I'm saying that we're not ready to face the consequences of our actions. We've been playing with fire, and now it's burning out of control."

程星's face twisted in rage. "You're saying that humanity is responsible for the collapse of the universe?"

Dr. Li's expression turned somber. "Yes, 程星. That's exactly what I'm saying."

The room fell silent, the tension palpable. 程星's mind reeled as she struggled to process the engineer's words. Could it be true? Was humanity truly responsible for the collapse of the universe?

As she sat there, her mind racing with questions and doubts, a sudden thought struck her. She turned to Dr. Li, her eyes blazing with determination. "I need to see the data. I need to see the proof."

Dr. Li hesitated, then nodded. "Follow me."

As they left the room, 程星 felt a sense of trepidation wash over her. What would she find? Would it confirm the engineer's words, or would it prove him wrong?

The fate of humanity hung in the balance, and 程星 was about to uncover a truth that would change everything.
