"I've brought some peanuts, hey, some." Mitarai said, shaking the bag in his hand again, "If you've never experienced this before, then you might lose some of the fun." ”

"Hey...... "Oh......" Jack began, looking around, "it's dark in here." He said.

"Yes," Mitarai said, "it's dark in here. ”

"There is no light," said Jack, "darkness, no light." ”

One of the most strange human habits that Jack has always found difficult to understand is to keep repeating a very, very obvious fact, such as "It's a nice day," or "Have you eaten," or "Oh dear, you look like you've fallen into a dung pit, and everything is okay"...... At first, Jack also tried to find a theory to explain this strange behavior: if humans didn't insist on exercising their lips and talking nonsense, he thought, their mouths would degenerate in the future evolution.

However, after months of thinking and observing, he abandoned this theory and moved on to a new one: if they didn't insist on exercising their lips, he thought, their brains would start working.

After some time, he abandoned this theory again.

He figured it out, and he still liked humans anyway. But at the same time, there were so many things that humans didn't know about, and he had been worrying about them with an almost hopeless heart.

"Yes," Mitarai said, "there is no light. He grabbed a peanut with a shell and handed it to Jack, watching Jack peel one open and put the peanut into his mouth, "How do you feel?" He asked.

"If I ask you what the hell we're in," said Jack, "it won't be a temptation to your secrets, will it?" ”

Mitarai subconsciously looked around, and didn't delay him from putting the peanuts in his mouth, "We're safe now." He said.

"Oh, that's great." Jack said.

"We're in a mass grave," Mitarai said, "and the people here are polite, and they won't disturb us." ”

"Oh," said Jack, "it's obviously a strange new use of the word 'safe,' which I didn't realize before." ”

The strange shadows began to shake faintly, some of the wind was blowing, and the branches began to shake, and Jack was really a little uncomfortable with such a scene.

The terrible shadow looked like it was about to pounce on him, and there was a heavy musty smell in the air, all of which was indiscriminately burrowing into his lungs, and the low, annoying rustling sound made him completely unable to concentrate.

"How did you find such a place to stay?" Jack asked with a slight frown.

"There's no one here at night, and of course, no one during the day. There is not far from the city. It's our secret stronghold, and we've got an elevator, but it's not as rudimentary as you see. Mitarai replied.

"What?" "Are you trying to tell me that they just stuck out their thumbs and a green monster with worm eyes poked its head out and said to us, 'Hey, man, jump on it, I can show you guys Hades'?" ”

"Well, how can I put it," Mitarai said, "your so-called 'thumb' is actually a set of wireless transceiver devices, and the 'Hades Palace' is the betrayer we captured. However, in a way, what you say is more or less right. ”

"And the monster with the eyes of worms?"

"That's right, it's green."

"Well," said Jack, "when will I be able to go home?" ”

"You can't go back for the time being, the boss wants to see you." Mitarai said, as he reached out and pulled out a handful of peanuts from his pocket and handed it to Jack.

"Oh?" Jack said in surprise

Mitarai became happy all of a sudden. Because, he pulled out a bottle of wine from his backpack.

Jack and Mitarai looked around them.

"Well, what do you think?" Jack asked.

"It's a little dirty, isn't it?" Mitarai said with a smile.

"Oh, as you can see, it's obviously not a good place to drink," said Jack.

Jack really didn't want to go back to the dark, damp hole, so the two of them had to get up and find a clean place.

"Oh? Do you have a younger sister? Jack munched on peanuts as he listened to Mitarai's homely chatter, and interjected when Mitarai said he had a younger sister.

"Yes," Mitarai looked at Jack strangely, "Your Excellency, a best sister." ”

"Is she married?"

"It's been almost nine years. I live there in my free time," Mitarai continued, "I, and my brother-in-law, will do our best to serve you as long as Your Excellency is willing to give you any orders."

"Wait a minute!" Jack didn't wait for Mitarai to answer, and then said loudly, "Are you married?" ”

"Me? How could I do such a boring thing as getting married. My biggest dream。。。。。 Well? Mitarai seemed to remember something, and looked Jack up and down with a puzzled look.

"What are you doing?" Jack was uncomfortable being stared at by Mitarai.

"What are you going to do? My sister is married, I don't have a wife! Mitarai said vigilantly, good guy, just two sips, the idea of beating someone else's wife. Aliens, are they all so arrogant, but they have to hide their sister, and they can't say anything about remarrying, marrying this ugly bald donkey.

"What are you wondering," Jack realized, and said angrily, "like I'm going to rob your sister and your wife." I was thinking ... ”

"Then that, you still want to..."

"I miss your sister"

"That and that, admit it? I said I didn't think about it, I just missed my sister. ”

"When I said I miss your sister, I don't really miss your sister, but...

"Okay, if you really miss my sister, I'll go back and beat my brother-in-law away, how about it, brother-in-law, give your brother-in-law a few days, how about it, brother-in-law will be righteous."

"I want your sister to accompany Ruyin and the two of them to walk around and have fun. I think your sister, you really want to figure it out. ”

"In this way, my sister is really 、、、 not ugly, you think about it again."

"Think about it. Let's talk about your dreams. Jack almost broke out in a cold sweat, "If you let Ruyin know that I have this quirk, you won't break my legs... ”

"My dreams," Mitarai forgot to be his brother-in-law, and said, "It's to let the three-eyed Gonggar people be in charge of piloting the spaceship, and use the four-handed Truss people as cooks, drinking wine, singing, and watching the stars twinkle in front of me: this is my biggest dream of roaming the galaxy." ”

"You're confusing me." Jack said.

"Come here, take a look at this." Mitarai said as he began rummaging through his backpack.

Finding a book, Mitarai handed it to Jack.

"What is this?" Jack asked.

"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, this kind of e-book. It can tell you anything you want to know. That's what it does. ”

Jack flipped the book in his hand.

"I love this cover," he said, "'Confidence comes from ignorance,' and someone has finally said something useful or wise to me all day." ”

"I'm going to show you how it works." Mitarai said. He took the book from Jack's hand and carefully removed it from the cover.

"Press this button here, and lo and behold, the screen lights up and shows the index directory."

The screen, which was about 3 inches long and 4 inches wide, gradually lit up, and letters began to flash on it.

"If you want to know about the Gongga people, you can enter this name now." As he spoke, his fingers began to tap on the keys, "Alright." ”

So the words "Gonggar Interstellar Demolition Fleet" flashed green light on the screen.

Mitarai pressed a large red button at the bottom of the screen, and sentences began to flash across the screen.

At the same time, the e-book begins to read the sentences aloud in a calm, measured voice.

The content reads: "Gonggar Interstellar Demolition Fleet, if you wish to get rid of a Gonggar people, the only way is to forget about it.

They are the most disgusting race in the galaxy - not essentially evil, but bad-tempered, bureaucratic, nosy, and ruthless.

If they had not received an order officially signed by the Shangguan, even if their grandmother stood in front of the wheels to stop them from demolishing, they would not hesitate to run over their grandmother's body, and then pack his grandmother into a garbage bag, crying, crying, and happily going to receive the handout.

"The best way to get a Gonggar to eat the food he spit out is for you to stick your finger down your throat, and the best way to anger him is to feed the fragments of his grandmother to the greedy Lafayette monsters, who are the greatest filial sons in the universe."

"Also, you must not let a Gonggar person recite poetry to you, especially when you happen to come out of a restaurant and are in a good mood. Like what... Right now! ”

Mitarai winked at Jack.

"Oh, drooling you put it in my face......" he began. A spasm struck Jack's body—the poem was even more disgusting than he had been prepared for.

“…… You pee on me—like a leper dog barking like crazy at me. ”

"Ahh ……”

"I beg you,"

"My lover with nose hair."

"Bathe me with a viscous liquid,

Look,

I will tear you apart,

See if I will! ”

"No, no, no! ......" Jack screamed, and as the last line of the poem reinforcedly passed through his eardrums, he finally couldn't hold back, and his whole stomach erupted with one last spasm, and the peanuts and alcohol he had just eaten gushed out of his mouth and nostrils.

"It's disgusting, I didn't expect your reaction to be so big." Mitarai said.

"It's a strange book. So, how do we get rid of it? Jack cleaned up the residue that remained at the corners of his mouth, feeling a little apprehensive.

"That's the crux of the matter, and that's outdated." Mitarai said, tucking the book back into the cover, "I'm researching for the new revision, and one of the things I have to do is to summarize how the Gonggar people are currently employing the Truss as cooks, which will allow us to discover a rather useful trick for dealing with those disgusting Gonggars." ”

Look at that face that has fallen into rhapsody. "But who are the Truss?" Jack asked.

"It's some amazing guys," Mitarai said, "they're the best chefs, the best bartenders." Also, they often help Star Wanderers get on ships to hitchhike, partly because they like these guys, but mostly because they hate the Gonggars.

If you're a poor flâneur looking to visit the wonders of the universe for less than 50 Galactic Tokens a day, then this is an absolute need to know. And that's exactly what happened to me. Interesting, isn't it? ”

Jack looked thoughtful.

"Yes, it's funny." He said, frowning as he looked at Mitarai's other hand. The hand was throbbing what seemed to be irregular.

"Unfortunately, I've been stuck on this planet for far longer than I expected." "I was going to stay for a week, but I actually stayed for 15 years. ”

"Man," said Jack, "I don't care if that sounds stupid, but can you tell me where you got this book?" ”

"Well, you should know," said Mitarai, "this is our greatest prophet, who knows everything, knows everything, and even understands the mysteries of the universe in his dreams. ”

Jack shook his head and said, "Okay, okay, I'm not interested." "I've already experienced one just now, and Jack is afraid that another one will pop out, in that case, the little inventory in his stomach will have to be explained here.

"How could you not be interested? It's about your hometown. You see that this book clearly says 'Gongga Interstellar Demolition Fleet' Mitarai quickly opened his treasure book, scratched on it for a while, and said in surprise, "They have demolished a lot of planets, you see, gold balls, wood balls, water balls." This and this, it is clearly written, and the next thing they will demolish is the earth. ”

"Really?" Jack said unmoved, "How do you know?" ”

"What the archmage said," Mitarai said, "the archmage said that it was because your home was expropriated, that it was to build an interstellar highway, and your planet was just being requisitioned. You've just wandered around and become the most pitiful homeless in this universe, and you're homeless. Yes, the earth will evaporate from the universe. ”

"You see," said Jack, "I'm a little annoyed by this. No matter how I look at it, I think you should be the ones who are living in dire straits. ”

Mitarai frowned, looking like he was sorting out the thoughts in his head.

"Yes, I can understand." He concluded.

"You understand!" Jack exclaimed, "You understand! ”

Mitarai jumped up all of a sudden.

"You keep reading to me!" Jack booed eagerly.

Mitarai said, "What? Don't panic. ”

"I didn't panic!"

"Yes, you're panicking."

Jack said helplessly, "Well, even if I panic, what else can we do?" ”

"Just take me and let's have a good time together. It's actually a lot of fun in the galaxy. Oh, you've got to put this fish in your ears. ”

"I'm sorry, what did you say?" Jack asked, this time he felt polite and didn't shove the grass that had grown to three feet into his mouth.

Mitarai Yuri was holding a small glass jar, which had also been taken out of his treasure bag, and it was clearly visible that there was a small yellow fish swimming around.

Jack began to wink at him. He wanted something simple and recognizable enough for him to understand.

Even the googar slimy liquid and the beautiful poem that made him vomit for a long time, no, even the Gonggar's underwear and the black nose hair that came out of their nostrils, standing next to the man holding a fish to put in his ear, even if he saw a hand stretched out from the grave, he would feel safer.

"Mitarai," he said.

"What's the matter?"

"What did this fish do in my ears?"

"It translates for you. This is a Babel fish (from the novel The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Milky Way by Douglas Adams). You can look it up in the guide, that's what it says. ”

With that, he handed the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy to Jack.

"Oh, that's easy," said Jack, not paying attention to the babel fish's physical characteristics and his specific effects, but picking up the little bottle containing the Babel fish and smiling as he washed it away.

"'I refuse to prove that I exist,' said God, 'because the evidence means the denial of faith, and the denial of faith I am nothing.'" ”

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is still faithfully fulfilling its obligations, and Mitarai is pale with fright. He also doesn't believe that a single fish can solve all the language barriers in the entire universe, but he is really unwilling not to give it a try. If you want to travel through the universe, language is the first obstacle to overcome.

It's not difficult for him to find an experiment, just find an unlucky one, he has no shortage of unlucky ones.

However, aliens are hard to find, especially aliens who are willing to be test subjects.

Just as Jack was smiling, trying to pour this fish into Mitarai's ears, and then in his ear, repeatedly shouting 'your sister, your sister' in thirty-six earth languages, to see if Mitarai could understand what he meant. In short, he also wanted to know, is this fish as powerful as he said, feeding on brain waves? It's pretty much the same to feed on the brain.

What happened next surprised even Jack. He saw a small flying machine flying silently and stopping not far away.

"Oh my God," said Jack, "is this a flying saucer?" Do you still have this thing? ”

Two skinny figures appeared on the ramp of the ship. Through the light of the flying machine, Jack can see the people at a glance, Ruyin and the cat girl Lilia.

Just as Jack was wondering why his Miss Ruyin and Lilia were here, and they weren't supposed to be sleeping comfortably on the big bed in the Imperial Capital Hotel, a huge creature covered in long golden hair came out of the door, holding a huge lunch plate in his hand.

Relieved, Mitarai laughed out loud, and this guy laughed like a madman.
