"Brad? Brad? ”

The communication signal from the Lantern Ring flew through space and reached Brad's ears on the moon.

He slowly opened his eyes, his body like a pure white feather suspended on the uneven surface of the moon, and the stars in the universe were facing above his head.

"What's wrong, Irina?"

"No, nothing." The silver-haired girl was standing in the spaceship moored at the North Pole, and said expressionlessly, "Because you haven't moved for a long time, just to confirm the situation." ”

"Thank you for your concern." Brad said lightly, "But I'm just here to take a break." It's hard to find such a clean place on earth these days. ”

He looked around and sighed, "When humans couldn't land on the moon, they all imagined the moon as a beautiful place. In the legend of my hometown, there should be a Guanghan Palace on the moon, sprinkled with clear moonlight, a jade rabbit and a lonely Chang'e...... I don't know that the moon is so desolate. ”

Irina asked, "Chang'e, what is it?" ”

"It's just old myths and legends." "Legend has it that she was a very beautiful woman, who was immortal because she had taken an elixir, but who lived alone on the moon all the year round, and suffered from loneliness. ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help laughing at himself in his heart. When it comes to immortality, why not himself? Although he is not like Chang'e, who is locked up on the moon forever, he also faintly feels that he can understand some of the pain of loneliness.

Irina was silent for a long time—Breed figured that she was retrieving comprehensive information about Chang'e again—and then replied lightly: "The story that Breed told is just an ancient legend of the earth, a purely imaginary story, and there is no scientific evidence. The moon itself is not a luminous body, its light comes purely from the reflection of the sun, just as the earth also appears to be luminous from the moon, and the description of the moon in this story is completely wrong. ”

Brad couldn't help but laugh, and Irina wondered, "Is there something wrong with what I said?" ”

"No, it's just too right." Brad laughed, "Irina, you still lack a bit of 'romance' compared to a real human." ”

Irina tilted her head and searched for the word "romantic" from her endless database, and said, "The actions or words of a person or group of people who have achieved positive meanings such as touching and happiness for a loved one or more and can be remembered for a period of time or more...... The concept is vague and difficult to understand. ”

"That's why I said, you still have a lot to learn about humans."

Irina was quiet for a moment and asked coldly, "Breed, do you think I'm disappointing you?" ”

"Huh?" Brad was a little surprised, he seemed to hear some frustration in Irina's unchanging voice, which would not normally happen.

"Because, I'm the only thing left of Brad's old life." Irina said lightly, "But as a companion, I think it should be very unqualified." I can't understand so many things and habits about human beings, and I think maybe Brad thinks that Katyusha or Ficia would have been much better off than I had stayed......"

Brad was slightly surprised. As a lifeless artificial intelligence, Irina is gradually forming her own human nature and becoming more and more human-like emotions, which he knows. But before that, Irina showed just simple and simple basic emotions, and it was the first time that such a complex idea was, and I don't know if it was another evolution of hers.

Brad took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I don't know what makes you think that, Irina, but listen, I've never thought like this, okay?" Maybe sometimes I miss the past, but I don't have any regrets to get to this day. From the bottom of my heart, I couldn't have been happier to have you by my side to get to where I am today. You've been very helpful to me all along, but I'll probably have a lot more to trouble you in the future, no problem, right? ”

"Yes, no problem." Irina's tone was still flat, but she had unconsciously re-raised her anger, "Because, I'm Brad's ship." ”

Although Brad had long been accustomed to being alone, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved to think that he still had a place like a safe haven in this world.

At this moment, Irina suddenly let out an "ah".

"How?"

"Just now, a cosmic-level powerful energy signal appeared, breaking through the atmosphere at an ultra-high speed and falling vertically like the ground." "But only for a moment, and not long after entering the atmosphere, the signal was lost. ”

Brad asked, "Can you identify the origin?" ”

"Unrecognizable." Irina said, "I can't tell whether it's friend or foe, but according to its landing trajectory, we can predict the landing point, which should be in Russia." ”

After a pause, she asked Braid for advice, "Do you need to go and see it?" ”

"Hmm...... Okay, too. ”

Brad thought of the prophecy about Amojo that had spread across the universe, and it was not surprising that there would be powerful forces in the universe targeting Amojo at any time. And since the other party has done such a good job of concealment, the deep space monitoring of earth technology may not be able to detect it, and perhaps he is the only one who has detected this mysterious outsider.

"Then I'll go and see, and take a walk at night."

Braid stood up as he spoke, and as soon as he stepped on the spot, the man burst into the sky, piercing the sky like a white pillar of light. The moment he left the ground, the ground exploded like thunder, the hill on which he had just landed was bulldozed by the shock wave, and the surface of the moon silently raised thousands of feet of dust, and the scene was spectacular.

Brad's flight was so fast that it was only a matter of seconds to get from the moon back to Earth. He flew straight to Russia in the direction of Irina, and descended after the trajectory of the alien creature.

It was late at night on the Russian side, and the foreign object seemed to have landed in a forest near the city, and darkness almost covered everything in all directions. The flames at the point where the falling object had not been extinguished, and the flickering flames were quite conspicuous in the darkness.

Brad landed lightly on the edge of the burning pit and took a closer look. I saw a pitch-black spherical flying object lying in the deep pit, the shell was extremely strong, and it was still unscathed after such a heavy impact, and the whole thing was like a complete eggshell, and there was no opening to be found.

Brad was about to step forward to check, when he suddenly felt a heat wave hit the back of his head, and when he turned around, the fiery red bright light had covered his vision.

But Brad had already touched the extreme of speed, and even this moment of lightning was more than enough for him. He only turned sideways slightly, and the fiery red beam grazed by his side and slammed into the dense forest, exploding a lot of movement and igniting a large area of grass and trees. Flames rose into the sky, and the light of the fire dispelled the darkness, revealing the appearance of the visitors in the forest.

Seeing the person coming clearly, Brad couldn't help but move his eyebrows slightly.

An alien robot with a pitch-black body.
