"Make sure to always pay attention to whether your important things are still in their place. If you don't find that things are hidden for a long time, Raiboken will be angry. Apex 23S. The fastest update." Zach took the steering wheel and explained to the three humans. 'The Goblin's Game', "You don't want them to become angry, so once you find that your things are missing, start looking for them immediately." Zach smiled and tilted his head, "But don't find it too quickly. The game will just restart. It's a A game that will test your acting skills and patience.”
Zach kept smiling and waited for questions.
No one said a word.
Zach's smile disappeared and he frowned, "No one has a problem?"
"I have one." Dale in the passenger seat said, "What's so fun about this? Hiding other people's personal belongings and waiting to be found? It doesn't make sense at all. These guys, Lai Boken, aren't trying to steal. Things, why they do such nonsense. I can’t understand it.”
Zach blinked and thought of an answer, "Children still think it's fun to repeat what adults say, do you understand?"
Dale pursed his lips and said, "I don't understand."
"That makes me agree that different things have different interests." Zach shrugged. "For the sake of hot water and food, let them have a good night. We have nothing to lose."
"One night?" Wes said from the back seat.
"Well, one night. Reboken will not harass humans during the day." Zach paused, "I don't know the reason." Zach glanced at James, who had always been quiet, in the rearview mirror. This was Giving James a chance to attack him, but Zach waited for a moment and didn't wait. It's really strange. Zach went on to explain to Wes, "But that's the, um, pattern of Reiboken. Once they've enjoyed their game, if the owner of the house, a human, puts a bowl of milk by the door, they'll drink that Milk, and then give 'blessings' to the humans who play with them to eliminate the fatigue of humans playing with them all night, so that humans can return to normal life during the day with energy, work, love... whatever."
"So they're completely harmless." Dale frowned, looked at Zach and said something similar to a summary.
"Yes. As long as you know this pattern, how should you treat them." Zach added and confirmed.
"Wait a minute! I think I've heard a legend about this kind of thing. A mischievous goblin? Really?" It was Wes, pushing James, "Do you remember xx? His father is an immigrant from xxx, and he likes it very much Tell them about their local legends."
"xx." James finally spoke, "Dead." Silence returned. Don't think too much about James' military life, and his comrades all ended up like this.
Wes's face twitched twice, and he ignored James and said to Zach, "Even if I know that aliens exist, I have never thought that this kind of thing is real. Why haven't we encountered it before?"
"Because they don't live in towns or anywhere where humans are densely populated." Zach answered, "They are not soul aliens. They have physical forms. At the same time, they cannot maintain a 'human form' that can be integrated into the human collective for a long time." Zach Thinking about how to describe it, "Their human form resembles...a puzzle, made up of many raybokens that are easy to put together incorrectly and lose parts. And for a very impressive reason, there are so few of them."
"Oh." Weiss was probably imagining that scene.
Regardless of James, who had always been quiet, Dell heard another meaning in these words, "So the aliens we encounter in life are all aliens with stable skills that integrate into humans. Like you."
Zach glanced at Dell, who was a very good student~ and nodded with a smile, "Or soul aliens have no sense of existence in human perception. Moreover, aliens living among humans must have part of the worldview similar to humans. .”
Dale curled his lips, "For example?"
"Gangro." Zach tilted his head directly, "You must have the physical conditions and the heart to live with humans. Otherwise, you will just be wronging yourself."
Dale nodded thoughtfully.
The car was quiet for a while, with only Wes occasionally looking back to take a look at the car being towed behind.
Speaking of which, the current situation is quite confusing to Zach. He had expected the three men to get into the heated trailer and drive him back to the broken-down car. Or, at least, that's what James would try, to make the atmosphere... you know. Then Zach only had a short period of time after arriving at the hotel to explain Reboken's game to the three people, and let the three people spend a painful night exploring the rules of the game... Well, there was a small corner in Zach's heart that he was happy to see. of this situation.
But the reality was completely contrary to Zach's expectations. The three people came in as soon as they saw him driving the trailer and sat down without any quarrel.
The more Zach thought about it, the more strange he felt. What happened to these three people while he was away? Be prepared to ask.
"Is the Tooth Fairy real?" Wes was the first to take the lead. Faced with the inexplicable sight in the rearview mirror, Wes curled his lips, "What's wrong, I'm really curious. Is the pattern right? You know, Pillow under the tooth, next day's money. I don't need to understand why, but it's a pattern right? Like those Reboken games."
Zach could only reply, "Sorry, the Tooth Fairy..." hesitated, "Dead."
"Uh..." Weiss was obviously not prepared to hear such an answer. I can understand it, Zach’s answer is that it doesn’t exist, which is easier to accept than this.
"Why?" Dale actually answered, "I've heard the legend of the Tooth Fairy." He lowered his lips and said, "When I was a kid." He turned to look at the snowflakes outside the window, "I just put the tooth under the pillow, and I didn't have anything to exchange for money. ." I assure everyone that this is not a middle-aged man suddenly sentimentalizing his childhood, "If this alien model requires human beings to cooperate, I think the Tooth Fairy model is... simpler than this Lai Boken. There are more." Dale shook his head and listened to his words, "In terms of living environment, the Tooth Fairy has a much easier time than this species, right? At least I know the legend of the Tooth Fairy. Before today, I have never I’ve heard the legend of the troublemaking leprechaun. If important personal belongings kept missing from my place, I would move. But if I discovered that the teeth under my pillow turned into money, I would be happy.”
Living environment, this is the theme at this time, isn’t it~
"Tepler." Zach said, "The scientific name of the Tooth Fairy." It has no special meaning, just to explain, "They are fairies like Reboken." Just think of it as Zach's explanation before explaining, and then , "The era of fairies has long passed. This model that requires the cooperation of alien races and humans, what we are talking about now, has been replaced by a new model. It has nothing to do with the living environment, they are all dying, and it is meaningless to discuss one after another."
"What mode?"
"Human civilization, today's social collectives, populated areas, towns, countries, continents... new models." Zach answered after thinking.
"What?" Dale glanced at Zach, "You mean now? We humans are now cooperating with the game rules of some alien races? Are we in a certain pattern?"
Zach looked at Dale who was staring at him, "Do you mind if you are cooperating with the alien race?"
Dale pursed his lips and didn't answer, but he didn't look away either. He was demanding answers from Zach.
Zach turned his gaze away, "If your life ends now, how would you sum up the good and evil in your life?"
This is a very confusing question.
James, who had been silent all this time, made a move. "Yeah, Dale, how do you sum up your life." He was pushed by Wes.
Zach was not going to ask these three people what was going on, "You can all answer."
"I don't care." Dell was the first to answer. "I live my own life. I don't need to respond to other people's standards of good and evil."
Zach smiled and waited a moment to see if Wes and James wanted to join in on the summary.
they do not. Zach continued, "Very well, then I judge that you are not a religious person, you have no faith."
Dale frowned, "Why should I? If I believe in that Holy Lord, I will definitely go to hell. As far as I know, hell is not a good place." He clicked his tongue and glared at James in the rearview mirror. Ms.
"It's very objective." Zach nodded, "And judging from the current situation in the Federation, only Newton and Barton have the chance to go to heaven, so, haha..." Zach shook his head and almost said wrong, "Now we Without discussing the current situation, let’s increase the time distance. This country, the dominant faith in four centuries, the Holy Lord faith, heaven and hell.”
After Dell was quiet for a while, he understood, "The model. The model of the soul's ownership after death." He frowned and looked at Zach, "The Holy Lord's belief is in the holy scriptures, spread by missionaries, and tells people's standards of good and evil. Just like these stories of fairies with legends. The alien race needs a model for human cooperation."
In terms of learning ability, Dell truly met all of Zach's expectations. So, with a simple nod, "As I said, the era of goblins has long passed. In an ancient era, they were words that, like demons and angels, could appear in human conversations at any time. We don't know how to do it now. Have you heard such words? They are dying, and this process has been going on for a long time. At least I think, well, in my life, I can count on one hand the number of times I have encountered them. We I'm lucky to have come across one. I suggest you cherish them."
Wes spoke, his voice a little unstable. After all, although he could imagine according to Zach's ideas, but... forget it, the duration of human life is difficult to match that of vampires, "Is it possible that one day, demons and angels will be like Are these fairies the same?"
die.
"Absolutely." Zach smiled inexplicably, "You have all met Tam and Leo, right? We almost no longer mention the beliefs that once dominated mankind in our daily lives, right?"
"What will happen to you?" Believe it or not, this is what James asked.
"Me?" Zach shook his head, "Probably like Leo. Immortal, but I will never want to know his place in the world like him. For reasons you all know, the vampires and saints who used to be in a secret alliance The relationship with the main faith has changed, haha, you know. I will live, probably no different from now. Haha, I am Toledo, I will find my way to blend in among humans."
"Don't you have any sense of loyalty?" James seemed to get excited again, which was strange.
"Loyalty? To what?" Zach glanced at the rearview mirror. It was also very strange. This was the atmosphere that Zach expected. He's also mean enough, and he doesn't like being criticized. "Do you believe in the Holy Lord? You understand that vampires are created for punishment, right? Vampires are prisoners with no future in the Holy Lord's faith."
"Tsk!"
Zach looked at James in the rearview mirror and slumped, "I will maintain my respect and live my own life, regardless of whether the Holy Lord faith exists or not." See if there is any hope of stimulating James' emotions again, "But of course, you can't see it anymore. We are probably talking about a few centuries later. You only need to care about a few decades."
If Zach remembered correctly, comparing the life span of vampires and humans in a mocking tone always ignited James.
Weird, it failed.
Zach had to glance at Wes in the rearview mirror, 'What's wrong with him?' '
Wes turned his eyes away and remained quiet.
Dale said, "Maybe not a few centuries." He looked back out the window, "I don't need to be an expert on alien races. Hum, as a human who has just started to contact alien races, I know that right now, right now, the faith of this Holy Lord is collapsing... "Hey! Dale is also interesting, and is still talking about the topic he started, "Unless your bishop, or anyone with power in religion, changes the content in the holy scriptures, and lets the priests and priests start saying when they preach, 'You can only go to heaven. Can go to Newton!' Humph, otherwise, this model of Holy Lord faith has now been broken. Those angels and demons will now become the same fate as those goblins, waiting to perish!"
Good summary.
Zach glanced at Dell, "You are right~" Zach kept smiling, and said, "We are almost there. Everyone, cheer up, Laibokeng likes energetic players~"
No one was prepared, not even willing to stretch their bodies. Zach hit the brakes.
"Hey!" Dale was a little dissatisfied.
"Stay in the car." Zach had turned off the engine and unbuckled his seat belt, giving instructions, "Demons, a group of demons are really flying over. Stay calm, I will handle it."
Superfluous. no one needs to stay calm
In the eyes of the three humans, Zach took out the thimble belt from his pocket and stood in the middle of the road that was empty except for snowflakes.
The scene lasted a minute.
A boring minute.
Zach removed the thimble and walked back, but crossed the body of the car and went directly to the rear, unhooked the equipment that towed the broken car, and stuffed it into the trunk. Back in the car.
"What happened?" Weiss asked, probably out of courtesy.
"My wizard and I killed those group of demons." Zach answered calmly.
"Why?" etiquette.
"When they passed by Reboken's hotel, they got the information that a vampire was coming here with three human friends dragging a broken car, so I killed them." With the same calmness, he started, put into gear, and set off. .
"I, um, are we still going to that hotel?" Weiss asked uncertainly.
"No, they are dead." Zach gave a smile and kept it, "Don't be sad, I avenged them, and as I said, it's just a matter of time."
Still redundant. No one is sad. It is impossible for people to be sad about something that they have not seen.
