On March 2, 2079, Earth time, in the Orkus crater in the eastern hemisphere of Mars, a vehicle shaped like a capsule was parked.

The light inside the aircraft was bright.

You can see that a lot of screens in the space are flickering, like we are watching a video at high magnification.

Occasionally, one or two screens will slow down the playback so we can see what's on it.

At this time, you will find that on one of the screens, it is the bright smiling face of the weekend, like a flower that has just bloomed, and two small pear vortices are exposed at the corners of the mouth, full of satisfied joy.

"Mill, why do you look at her? What's so nice about her? "There seems to be radio waves flowing in the space.

This is a flying machine from Zeta. Zeta does not have such a "body" as humans, it is an existence that cannot be seen by the human eye, and it is a mysterious energy body.

As the saying goes, people have words, beasts have beast language, and aliens naturally have alien ways of communication, but in order to facilitate the storytelling, let's translate it into a way that we earthlings can understand!

"Her smile is beautiful and gives people a feeling of happiness." "I haven't seen a smile like this on our planet Zeta, and I don't think there's anything else on it. ”

"Oh, what else do you say about forgetting the love water, regretting the pill, can the earth make this thing? According to the information we have gathered, the Earth is still far behind. Partner Miyi said.

"It's just a humorous joke." Mill was unimpressed.

During this time, their spacecraft was parked on Mars and obtained information through the constellation of geostationary orbit satellites and low-orbit satellites connecting the Earth, so they already had a considerable understanding of the Earth.

Although this is the first time they have been sent to the solar system on a mission.

Originally, they were supposed to be on vacation during this time. Because they had just returned from a mission in Centaur.

The original plan was that Mi Yi wanted to go to Hercules first to see if there were any new interstellar pets to adopt.

Then he accompanied Mir to the Horseshoe Nebula to see his friends who were as small as dust in the shape of starlight, and by the way, they moved much like the fireflies flying in the summer night on the earth, and when they did not move, they scattered into the dust and never looked for him again.

At this moment, they suddenly received an order from the leader, asking them to immediately set off to a very remote corner of the galaxy to find a planet called Earth and collect information about it and send it back to Zeta.

"Why do you have to leave now, can't we wait until we come back from vacation?" Miyi didn't really want to go right away. He hadn't had a small pet in a long time since his hexagonal rab went missing. He would love a new pet.

Because interstellar travel is lonely, although there is a companion Mir, wouldn't it be more perfect to have a little pet with you?

"You can treat this trip as a vacation. Earth is a beautiful planet, and there are some interesting creatures there. The leader Grey Shadow was unmoved.

With a wave of his hand, a screen appeared in the air, on which flashing information appeared.

"The creatures there already have some intelligence, have a certain level of technology, and are very curious about space, and have sent signals into space many times.

In the past, when we received the signal, we sent people to look at it and collect information. Here's their report to me. ”

Mi Yi and Mi Er glanced at the report, and the lively Mi Yi almost laughed.

The left side reports: "There is a creature called a car living on Earth, and although it is slightly different in shape and size, it all has wheels.

They also have a human parasite that is always running around on different hosts......"

And the report on the right says: "The earth is ruled by various pipe worms, whose bodies and tentacles can go deep into the sea or towering in the air."

They also often have a large number of symbiotic microbial 'people' who help them clean, organize, heal and ......"

Now, by collecting and sorting out the information obtained, Mi Yi feels that "people" are the creatures who rule the earth. I don't know how the companion who was in charge of collecting information in the past could have come to such an unreliable conclusion.

No wonder the chief wants them to come!

Thinking of this, Miyi suddenly felt comfortable.

"I think it's really funny that the earthlings make up so many endless stories of 'heroes'. Do weak earthlings know what a hero is? Mi Yi used his energy to control one of the screens, and the picture stopped, it was Julius Caesar.

He pointed to another piece, where the Avengers appeared.

"They are weak, so they need heroes more." Mildau.

"They also like to make up stories. In all forms, sound, text, and video, 99% of the information we collect is a story made up by them. Why do they like unreal things so much? Miyi continued to ask.

"Because their lives are so short, they want to have more experiences." Miel replied.

At this time, of course, he didn't know that his answer was very similar to what an author named Yun Xuan said in the book 60 years ago on Earth.

"Life is too short, and there are many beautiful things that you don't have time to experience in person, so you can only use literature to help you gain experience."

"Why don't we go to Earth? Anyway, the leader Grey Shadow says that this trip can be considered a vacation. Miyi suddenly had a good idea.

"Let's send this information back first, and then say it's going to Earth to collect first-hand, more accurate and detailed information? The Grey Boss would certainly approve of this. "Although they have collected a lot of information about the Earth, there is always something that will be missed. What if you miss important information and make the same mistakes as your former peers?

Mill looked at the bright smiling face on the screen and thought it was a good idea.

Why does he find this smile to give people a feeling of happiness?

Why did he think the smile was familiar?

It was the first time he had "come into contact" with an earthling—if this method of gathering information was anything else, he hadn't even come into contact with a similar creature before.

On a moonless night, the sky was dark, and even the stars were sparsely few.

A flying machine flickered and silently approached the ground.

This is the outskirts of a certain city.

Although it is a remote outskirt of the city, the land is still intertwined with roads, railroad tracks, and elevated highways, and there is a constant flow of traffic.

At the moment when the aircraft approached the ground, two cars traveling in opposite directions on the road suddenly collided, one car spun and flew out, and the front of the other car hit the railing on the side of the road, causing the vehicles behind to brake sharply and make sharp turns, and there were many problems.

In the absence of our earthlings, a "creature" descended from the aircraft and approached one of the cars.

"Mil, there is only one person in this car, so you get in that car."

"Well, where do we meet?"

"Just that weekend psychiatric clinic, 128 Pushi Road."

In the dark, the aircraft took off on its own and disappeared into the black sky.

In the distance, there were shrill sirens of ambulances and police cars, and the sound was getting closer and closer.
