Intruders of the Moon World

"Hey, don't make me sound like a scourge."

Ye Qing was slightly speechless: "I'm definitely a human being. I don't have any claws or wings. As you can see, I'm just an ordinary human being."

"negative."

Hubby said in a low voice: "After reasonable judgment, you are not human."

Ye Qing: "..."

Why does it sound like a curse?

"Huby is right."

Seeing that Ye Qing didn't intend to start a fight, Rick opened his hands to indicate that he didn't have a weapon in his hands, and took a step forward cautiously, but still leaned against Shubi.

"You really can't be human."

I just heard Rick continue to say: "Humans will not appear in the wild so defenseless."

"Oh......"

Ye Qing was taken aback, then smiled helplessly: "So that's the case, is there the difference?"

If you take a closer look, the girl named Hubie is not human and let alone, Rick, as a real human, not only covered his body with a cloak, but also wrapped his hands and feet with something like bandages, and there was a scar on his face. Goggles.

All in all, it is to reduce the exposed parts of the body as much as possible, and there is only one reason - to avoid contact with [spiritual skeletons].

The [Spiritual Skeleton], known as black ash, is the embers left behind after the death of an elf, and it is highly poisonous to living things!

Races that can use magic to shield the black ash are naturally fine, but humans are fragile creatures that cannot manipulate elves. As long as the skin comes into contact with the black ash, it will be corroded as quickly as if it encounters strong acid.

Therefore, if human beings want to move in the wild, they need to wrap themselves tightly, just like the current Rick.

And what about Ye Qing's situation?

Thin and tattered clothing, bare skin can be seen everywhere, and there is nothing that can constitute protection on the hands and feet, it can be said that it is defenseless.

If it was a human being, he would never be able to survive in the wild with such a dress, but he stood in the black and ash wind as if nothing had happened. No matter how he looked at it, he was very different from the human beings Rick knew.

"Um, this..." Ye Qing scratched his head.

To him, these black ash were no different from ordinary raindrops, they would be offset even if they did not fall on his body, so he subconsciously ignored them.

"Looks like I didn't think twice... But I didn't lie to you, and there's no need for that. I'm really human, just like you are human and that girl is an [Ex-Machina]. , without falsehood."

Ye Qing smiled indifferently: "It's just that the inside is a little different from yours."

"Lies...it doesn't look like it. But it's too suspicious." Rick whispered, "Shubie, don't let your guard down just yet."

"Well, but...be careful, Rick." Hubby paused. "He's stronger than I am—much stronger."

"Humans stronger than Ex-Machinas..."

"You really still can't believe me." Ye Qing spread his hands, "But after all, humans in this world can't use magic. You've never seen a human being who can bathe in black ash. This subverts your concept, so you suspect me too. normal."

"this world?"

Rick was keenly aware of the word, and his eyes sharpened immediately.

"Well—what do you mean by that? It's almost like implying that you are not a creature in this world."

"That's it, I came from another world." Ye Qing said it honestly.

"...Really?!" Rick was a little confused, "Huby, is there any magic that can summon creatures from another world?"

"It is theoretically possible, but it requires an inestimable amount of energy. After calculation, it is impossible even for the gods."

"My situation is a bit special." Ye Qing smiled, "We can find a place where we can rest and talk slowly."

"...Sorry, I still can't trust you." Rick said seriously, "I can feel that you are not malicious, but I don't want to take risks, after all, my life does not belong to me alone."

"Is that so..."

"but!"

Rick changed the topic: "If you are really human, I can't turn a blind eye to it, because it means [turning point].

Human beings who can resist black ash, even stronger than the Ex-Machina... should never have appeared in this world.

That being the case, you may be the cause of change in the human condition.

If I lost this opportunity because of cowardice, I probably won't be able to forgive myself for the rest of my life. "

"That is to say, we are caught in a dilemma." Ye Qing looked at the boy named Rick playfully.

"How do you want to choose?"

If he wanted to, there were ways to influence the young man's thinking, but he didn't do that, but gave the other party the right to choose.

"I've decided——believe in you!" The young man looked deeply at Ye Qing, his eyes behind the goggles were extremely determined.

In fact, he himself was also very surprised that he would trust a man of unknown origin, but for some reason, he couldn't help but want to trust the man in front of him.

Like a fire in the dark that draws the lost, Rick followed his instincts in this moment and chose to take on the greatest adventure of his life.

"Rick..."

Hubby looked at the teenager worriedly, while Rick smiled at her and grabbed her little hand.

"It's all right, Huby, as long as we are together, there will be no difficulty."

"Humans and Ex-Machines are really an interesting combination." Ye Qing laughed with interest when he saw this scene.

[Ex-Machina] Even in this war of the gods, it is an extremely terrifying existence, and its efficient combat method is awe-inspiring.

Humans, on the other hand, cannot communicate with elves and are considered to be no different from beasts.

Generally speaking, humans and Ex-Machinas—young Rick and Shuby—have no intersection at all.

But the fact is that Rick and Shuby have built a very close relationship, and Shuby's behavior is also obviously different from ordinary Ex-Machinas.

What interesting story happened here?

Ye Qing didn't intend to investigate specifically, but just lamented the wonder of fate.

Communicated with [Behemoth] that sneaked into the ground with consciousness, and confirmed that it was still following him, Ye Qing said to Rick while communicating with it.

"All in all, find a sheltered place first. I have a lot to ask you, and you must have a lot to say to me."

He smiled slightly at the boy: "Let us get along well."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"...It's unbelievable, Ye Qing, what you said, is it that humans in another world have such a developed civilization?"

In a cave, Rick and Shubi were listening to Ye Qing's story about the other world.

The boy swallowed his throat and said with difficulty: "The sun and stars are real?"

"It exists."

Ye Qing emitted a soft white light from his hand, illuminating the dark cave.

"The meteor shower across the sky, the frozen continent, the endless grassland, the ocean-like forest... There are all kinds of beautiful scenery in a different world, which is completely different from here."

"Well......"

Rick smiled disappointedly.

"That's right, this world is nothing but a land covered in black ash and a bloody sky."

I heard that the servants of the Forest God - [Elf] have the ability to create forests and cities, but Rick has never seen it.Even if it was the remains of other races, when he explored, he could only see dilapidated buildings.

"Indeed, it's a really terrible world." Ye Qing looked out from the hole, "This situation is only half a step away from destruction. Rather, it's a pity that this planet can survive until now... ...."

"I still can't believe it."

Rick looked at his bandaged hands, wondering what he was thinking.

"In a different world, there are humans who can use magic, and there are even guys who can fight those monster races... And we, let alone the upper races, even if we see vampires and beastmen, we will be killed. Easily take your life."

"Don't get too deep, Rick." Ye Qing said softly, "You are just... unlucky and failed to become the protagonists of this world. It's not your fault. In the world of reason, if you can survive, you are already very remarkable."

"...That said, I'm not at all happy either."

"I'm not trying to comfort you, I'm just telling you the truth.

From what I have learned about this world these days, and what I have learned from you about the current situation of human beings, there is only one conclusion that can be drawn: this world does not have a system of rules suitable for human development!

Originally, human beings would be gradually eliminated, but you persevered in the face of adversity. In such a harsh world, you still continued the fire.

You guys are really amazing... I have a lot of respect for you guys. "

"...There are many reasons for death, but only one reason for survival." Rick clenched his fists, "It's just because I erased my sense of existence and lingered in a corner where no one noticed. .”

"Rick?"

"Huby..." The young man showed an indescribably complicated expression, "Humans can only hide like mice, they are invisible existences, and they will be eliminated by those monsters when they are discovered... I've always thought so, Hubie."

He seemed to have difficulty breathing, so he raised his head and took a few deep breaths.

"However, if what this person said is true, then humans are not complete losers.

If it is compared to a game, it is only because of the rules that we lost in this round, but in other worlds, human beings have won no idea how many rounds they have won... No, our round is still Not lost.

It's just a disadvantage now, we haven't lost yet! "

The young man turned his eyes to the people from the other world again: "Mr. Ye Qing, can you please tell me something more? I still have many questions about the human civilization in the other world."

"It doesn't matter, but what aspect do you want to hear?" Ye Qing smiled slightly, he had a good impression of this young man.

"Too many, but first..."

-

"...Is this the abandoned capital of the [Elf]?"

The buildings woven of trees with a strong ethnic style, although a large area has collapsed, but among the ruins, brightly colored flowers are still blooming, like an elegant courtyard.

"As expected of the family of the Forest God." Rick laughed mockingly, "In this world of death, can such a paradise be created?"

The races participating in the [War], although they don't care what kind of hell this planet has become, they seem to care about the environment they live in.

"Well, in most worlds, elves are a race that has a deep connection with the forest, and it seems that the elves in this world are no exception." Ye Qing looked at the surrounding ruins, "Rick, Are you here looking for something?"
