Intruders of the Moon World

【Well--】

A tingling pain flashed in my mind, and vague memories emerged.

【—Xiao Ling, can you let me in?

No!

This is my home, my room.

Say no, no! 】

The familiar immature child's voice echoed in his heart, Ye Qing still couldn't remember everything about this girl named "Xiaoling", but for some reason, an inexplicable warmth slowly flowed through his heart...

"Did anything good happen?"

"Huh?" Ye Qing looked at Rider, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing...it's just that you are smiling so happily." Rider said with a nod, "No, it's not so much a happy...it's more like a sneaky smile."

laugh?

Ye Qing touched the corner of his mouth subconsciously... Indeed, he could feel the ups and downs.

He turned his head and saw his face reflected in the mirror on the wall.

"Ha ha......"

It's indeed a smiling face, maybe a little funny, in short, it's not a pretty face, but...

"That expression is great."

Rider expressed Ye Qing's thoughts.

"How should I put it... There is a heart-warming feeling?"

Ye Qing smiled lightly——

"To be honest, it's too tired to tilt your head, but it makes people feel a little disgusted." Rider's words made Ye Qing's smile freeze.

"When my eldest (Roland) is a nympho, he will show the exact same expression from time to time."

"..." Ye Qing was speechless, "Don't compare me with a nympho."

"Mr. Archer, you are back." The android boy rescued by the two greeted him.

"Yeah." Ye Qing looked at this artificial human whose age was between a child and a teenager.

Silver hair color and weak and handsome facial features - the Thousand World Trees have indeed inherited the essence of Einzbern in terms of artificial human technology: beauty is justice.

Compared with appearance, combat power is the second most important thing to consider... Maybe this is also the special aesthetics of magicians. Anyway, combat power can be accumulated by quantity.

Unlike normal human beings, the artificial man does not need the process of "learning". He is a "completed" creature at birth, so he has basic knowledge and can communicate with two servants.

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

"Aren't you used to this sense of weight from the earth?" Ye Qing sat down and asked the boy on the bed.

"Yes, Mr. Archer...the body is very heavy, and breathing is laborious." The android boy said a little stiffly.

Cyborgs have the most basic knowledge and magic literacy-this is part of the system functions needed to quickly train soldiers.

The boy is just not used to it, so his tongue is a little stiff.

Currently his range of activities is limited to Ye Qing's room, it is impossible for him to leave the castle with his physical condition, even if no one stops him, he does not have the corresponding physical strength.

And once someone finds out, he will be taken back immediately, and he doesn't know how he will be treated.

There are many rooms in the entire castle, but this is the only place for him to stay, and he cannot live without it, just like a pet that will die if he leaves the cage—he is such a weak creature.

"It's good to get used to it. This is also a proof of life. If you want to live as an independent 'person', you must learn to endure hardship."

Ye Qing said to Rider: "You should go back too, Serekani is a very persistent person, don't let her suspect you."

Rider sighed, turned around and said to the boy with a smile, "I'll come to see you again."

After saying that, he left lightly, a guy who is as free as the wind, I am afraid there is nothing that can make him feel distressed.

From Ye Qing's point of view, his feelings for the boy are not so much the responsibility of the helping hand to the weak, but more like getting along with the stray dogs he picked up from the side of the road...

"I decided to let you escape."

Seeing the rider's figure disappear behind the door, Ye Qing turned around and said to the boy.

"This is the result of my discussion with the rider. You will be discovered sooner or later if you stay here, and you are not a pet, and you should not be locked in a cage.

I will look for opportunities to send you out, but after you are free, you will no longer have the shelter of me and rider, you can only rely on yourself, have you made up your mind? "

The boy nodded: "That...Mr. Archer, what am I going to do after I go out?"

"It's something you need to think about for yourself."

Ye Qing casually found a book and sat down to read it.

"Why run away, why resist, what is the meaning of life, what is good, what is bad, what things can be done and what things cannot be done... all of these things need to be considered by yourself.

Although it is also possible for others to tell you the answer directly, what is the difference between this and artificial humans being directly instilled with knowledge?

What matters is not the answer, but what is achieved in pursuit of the answer. "

"I only have three years...can I do it?"

"Who knows?" Ye Qing didn't take his eyes off the book, "For some people, three years can't do anything, but there are others who can use three days to let themselves be at ease.

Maybe you will feel pain, maybe you will regret leaving the culture container, and feel that this kind of troublesome life is not as simple as being a battery...

But you've already taken the first step, and you can only keep going. "

"Is life... painful?"

"There are moments of misery and moments of happiness, but generally it is misery."

"Is it always like this?"

"always like this."

"......why?"

"Because man came into this world weeping, and it was painful from the very beginning."

"...It's so hard, does it have to be like this? Can't you not go through pain?"

"Of course, it is human instinct to avoid pain and suffering, and of course you can choose to escape.

but....."

Ye Qing looked at the boy calmly: "You can also choose not to run away."

"People come into this world crying, we don't have a choice, but we can choose how to leave this world.

If you smiled from the bottom of your heart at that moment, your life would not be buried by pure suffering.

Our starting point cannot be changed, but at least, we still have the right to work hard for the end point. "

He burst out laughing: "And, if you run away crying—it's not handsome at all, is it?"

"..."

The boy stared blankly at Ye Qing: "Mr. Archer knows a lot."

"Do you know a lot..." Ye Qing smiled wryly, "I don't even know who I am, so how can I say I know a lot?"

"Mr. Archer doesn't know who he is?" the boy thought, "Same as me?"

"I still know my own name."

Ye Qing closed the book and shook his head - this book about western art history is not suitable for him.

While looking for a book, he said: "But other than that, the memory is very vague. Although I remember the fighting skills, I don't know how it is mastered by the body."

The boy blinked: "A name... that's nice, Mr. Archer at least has a name, but I don't even have that."

What he has at best is the production number. Although that thing can distinguish individuals, it is really not a "name".

"Are you envious of this?"

Ye Qing laughed and shook his head: "Generally speaking, parents or other elders give names to newborns, all in all, it is a kind of recognition for new family members.

You don't have parents... Well, you just came out of the cultivation container, and your mental and physical state is similar to that of a baby. If you want, I or the rider can give you a name. "

"But, you have to be mentally prepared."

Ye Qing restrained his smile, and said a little seriously: "A name is not just a code to distinguish yourself from others, but more to fix the concept of 'self' in this world composed of information and material.

I am myself, and others are others—without this clear boundary, the human spirit will gradually become dull in the torrent of information, and eventually become a "blank paper" or "chaos" without personality.

And once you accept the name, you are no longer a simple 'tool', but a 'person'. "

"Human...I'm an artificial human," said the boy. "What's the difference?"

"Is a human a 'prop'? Is an artificial human a 'prop'?" Ye Qing smiled, "You have to seriously think about this question."

"I...artificial man...prop...person?" The boy gradually fell silent.

Ye Qing quietly guarded him for a while, then scratched his head suddenly, and said: "Well, even a sane adult can't figure this out for a while, so don't embarrass yourself, let's think about your name first."

That guy Rider's rationality is evaporating, you can't rely on him, Ye Qing thinks that his naming ability should be good, let Ye Qing do it himself.

He held his chin and said in a trance, "Are you a Homunculus...Homunculus?"

sounds good?

It doesn't seem very good to use the name directly...

"Ah!" Ye Qing's mind flashed, "This is it!"

"In that case, your name is—'Golden (dog egg) Li'."

"But I refuse!" This may be the first time in his life that the boy made such a loud voice, "Although I don't know what it means, I instinctively want to refuse!"

"...Oh?" Ye Qing disappointed, "Reject? It's a good name..."

"..."

"By the way, what's Mr. Archer's name?" the boy asked.
