Chapter 809
Moon People: In the Mountains, Not Bad!
"Waaaaah, why am I so unlucky!" The Moon-like alien, whose face was bruised and swollen from being beaten, lay on the ground, wiping away imaginary tears with his sleeve, and wailing, "I came to Earth and not only did I fail to complete my mission, but I also lost the most important thing, waaaaah!" He looked so aggrieved, as if he were the victim who had been bullied.
"..." Cui Ming stared at the old hag from Ruyue Star who was throwing a tantrum on the ground, his forehead veins practically bulging. He really couldn't understand where this woman got the audacity to cry like that.
"Hey, get your facts straight." Cui Ming couldn't help but speak, his tone full of suppressed anger. "You're the one who cornered our people in that dark room and made a fuss for ages. If anyone's going to cry, it's our people, right? Shan Zhong is still huddled in the corner, not having recovered yet!" He pointed to Shan Zhong, who was staring blankly into the corner. This guy's psychological trauma from today would probably last him a whole year.
The Moon-like alien was momentarily speechless after being rebuked, then cried even harder: "But you all interrupted my good drink! And the handsome young man I had my eye on ran away! Isn't that the most important thing?" While crying, it secretly observed Cui Ming's expression, fearing that the other party would beat it up again.
The surrounding team members' lips twitched. This alien's thought process was indeed different from that of Earthlings; even at a time like this, he was still thinking about drinking and handsome young men. Cui Ming took a deep breath and decided to give up on reasoning with this drunkard: "Drag it away. Keep a close eye on it this time. If it runs out and causes trouble again, you'll all be writing reports!"
Thankfully, this idiot didn't realize what was happening. She had been drugged and made drunk.
"This is truly...something I've never seen before. I've hardly ever seen anything like it before." Kotaro stood to the side, looking at the shivering mountain dweller who had been helped up by his teammates, his eyes vacant. He couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. He then realized that Cui Ming's earlier statement about how tiring the rescue was was no exaggeration—having a team member who was always "sought after" by aliens would be a headache for anyone.
Shan Zhong looked utterly disheveled; his hair was a mess, his clothes were covered in dust, and there was drool at the corner of his mouth—clearly, he had been through a lot in the dark room. He huddled behind his teammates, his eyes filled with fear as if some strange thing would rush out and snatch him away at any moment.
Kotaro leaned closer to Choi Myeong and muttered, "Speaking of which, is Yamanaka really that attractive to aliens now? Before it was male aliens, but this time even a female old hag is chasing after him. His physique is too special, isn't it?" He really couldn't understand why, out of all the members in the base, it was always Yamanaka who was targeted by aliens, and in such a ridiculous way every time.
Choi Myung glanced at the still trembling Yamanaka and sighed helplessly, "Who knows? Maybe he has some special 'aura' that attracts aliens. It seems we'll have to get this guy a personal bodyguard from now on, otherwise who knows what might happen." This made the team members next to him chuckle secretly. Yamanaka's face turned pale when he heard this, and he lowered his head even further.
"Shanzhong, don't worry. The Ruyue Star people are not in serious trouble; we have them under control." Cui Ming patted Shanzhong, who was still trembling, trying to comfort him.
"Yeah, right, Captain! That was terrifying!!!" Yamanaka suddenly raised his head, his eyes still filled with tears, his voice trembling with sobs. "That old hag not only chased after me, but she also dragged me into a dark room and talked nonsense. I'm too scared to be alone now! Waaah!" He wiped away his tears as he spoke, clearly this experience had caused him great psychological trauma.
Seeing Shan Zhong's disheveled and aggrieved state, Cui Ming fell silent. He sighed softly, muttering to himself: "Sigh... what absurd things has Shan Zhong been going through lately? How did he end up becoming the aliens' 'focus of attention'?"
However, now is clearly not the time to dwell on the encounter in the mountains. After all, there are more important matters to attend to, such as thoroughly figuring out the origins and purposes of the Ruyue aliens. The interrogators have just reported that, after some effort, they have finally managed to extract some information from the drunken Ruyue aliens.
It turns out that the Kisame aliens came to Earth this time because they were very unhappy with certain Japanese customs. Observing from space that Earthlings hang lanterns, beat drums, and set off fireworks and firecrackers during festivals, they mistakenly thought these lively activities were signals that Earthlings were waging war on their planet. Therefore, they angrily came to "respond to the challenge," only to find themselves, out of curiosity, wandering into a host club and getting drunk and causing a scene. Upon hearing this reason, Cui Ming couldn't help but rub his forehead—this was probably the most outrageous reason for invasion he had ever heard.
This whole thing is really absurd. After learning that the Ruyue aliens came to "fight" because they misunderstood Earth's customs, it became even more difficult to deal with.
According to regulations, alien visitors who do not cause major casualties or damage cannot be simply killed if they are not malicious intruders; at most, they can receive a serious verbal reprimand.
"Oh, I see." After listening to the interrogator's explanation, the Ruyue alien was stunned for a long time before finally realizing what was happening. It patted its head and said, "It wasn't about us Ruyue aliens. That was my mistake." It finally understood that the "ghosts" that people were talking about during festivals were all legendary figures from Earth's native land and had nothing to do with its planet.
"Considering that I also made a mistake, let's just let this misunderstanding go, okay?" The Moon Star person rubbed his hands together, forcing a fawning smile, trying to smooth things over. After all, he was the one who came to cause trouble without understanding the situation, and now that he thought about it, he was both angry and amused.
Oh dear, how embarrassing! It lowered its head, not daring to look Cui Ming in the eye. Just a moment ago it was righteously crying about how wronged it was, but now that the truth is out, it simply wants to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Especially when he thought about how he had not only been beaten up because of this blunder, but had also scared the other team members out of their wits, he felt his face burning even more.
However, the Moonlit alien hadn't forgotten about this. She suddenly changed the subject and nodded seriously at Yamanaka, who hadn't recovered yet: "But seriously, Yamanaka is really something else! Much more interesting than those little guys on our planet!"
Hearing this, Yamanaka froze. Before he could react, the Moon Star person added with a smile, "Team member Yamanaka, when I get back, I'll definitely introduce you to my sisters. I guarantee they'll all be just as enthusiastic as I am!"
"Don't come any closer!!!" A shrill scream suddenly erupted from the mountain, and the man was almost pressed against the wall. Just imagining a group of "grandmas" like the Ruyue Star people surrounding him and calling him "handsome young man" made his scalp tingle and goosebumps fall all over him.
The team members around him couldn't hold back any longer and lowered their heads, covering their mouths and snickering. Cui Ming also shook his head helplessly, rubbing his forehead. It seemed that after this incident, Yamanaka would probably have a lifelong psychological trauma regarding the words "alien" and "old lady."
Seeing the terrified look on the mountain, the Moon Starman innocently asked Cui Ming, "What's wrong with him? I genuinely want to be friends with him." (End of Chapter)
