Chapter 1-The Strangeness in the Familiarity
“”、“”、“”、“”
"Hey, Dad, tell me!" A short-haired Chinese man in his twenties was driving a black sedan with a pair of black Bluetooth earphones hanging from his ears. He was driving on the road with an indifferent expression.
"Son, drive alone. Be careful on the road. If you encounter a car, make way. Don't be in a hurry, okay? Also, take it slow. Just come back before dark today. There's no hurry, okay?”
"Alright, Dad, I got it. Don't worry, I'm driving very slowly.”
"Just drive slowly. Also, son, it's been ten years.”
"I know. You've already said it for ten years. What else can I not accept?”
"Alright, I'm just saying. Now that your sister is pregnant, I can't leave. You're alone this year. Don't buy too many things. She was already gone, so burning paper offerings on her grave was a peace of mind.”
"I know. Don't buy less of what you should buy and don't buy what you shouldn't. Alright, it's not the first time I've run away. I'll call you when I get back. I'll hang up now!”
"Alright, be careful on the road!"
"Alright, I'm hanging up, I'm hanging up!" As he spoke, the man pressed his ear lightly and hung up the phone. He focused on driving the car in one direction.
This was the third planet in the solar system, Earth. It was the oldest country with the longest history. It was in the northwest of China, on the road of a third-tier city, Yu City. The man's name was Zhang Ye. He was twenty-three years old and had short black hair. He was a standard Han man from the Central Plains.
The strange thing was that Zhang Ye looked exactly the same as the man who appeared in the Martian base. However, his temperament was not as elegant as the man on Mars.
Zhang Ye continued to drive. At the same time, he could not help but recall the past ten years ago. Zhang Ye's birthday was on the first day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar. Ten years ago, it was on the twenty-fifth day of the seventh month of the Gregorian calendar and the twelfth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar. Ten years had passed, but Zhang Ye still remembered what happened that year. He had never forgotten it for a moment.
Ten years ago, Zhang Ye's family lived in a village in Yu City. Zhang Ye's family consisted of five people, his parents and two older sisters. As she was from the countryside, her preference for sons was extremely serious. After Zhang Ye's mother married over, she gave birth to four children before giving birth to Zhang Ye.
The first child was Zhang Ye's elder sister. The second child was a pair of twin daughters. Unfortunately, they died before they were full term. The third child was a daughter, Zhang Ye's second sister. The last child was Zhang Ye. Because of this, Zhang Ye's family became very poor.
Later, Zhang Ye's elder sister fell ill. His mother took her to the big hospital in the city to see a doctor. In the end, they got into a car accident on the way and both mother and daughter died at the same time. For the past ten years, Zhang Ye had always remembered this pain and sadness. He often paid homage to his mother and elder sister.
Every Qingming Festival, Cold Food Festival, and Death Day, Zhang Ye and his family would pay their respects to their loved ones. Ten years had passed, and Zhang Ye's father had remarried. His second sister had also gotten married. She was currently pregnant, so she could not go to the grave to pay her respects on this year's death anniversary.
Zhang Ye was already a second-year student this year. He had just gotten his driver's license, so when he was driving, Zhang Ye's father was not very assured and reminded him.
After ten years, Zhang Ye had already gotten over it. He felt a little emotional, but he did not lose his mind. Then, he continued to drive the small car towards his hometown's cemetery. After the car accident, the Zhang family left the village and lived in a county town.
Therefore, every time they paid their respects, they had to drive to their hometown's graveyard to pay their respects.
This year was already the tenth year. Originally, this kind of day should be more grand. However, firstly, Second Sister was pregnant. Secondly, it had been long enough. They had already seen it through. Therefore, only Zhang Ye went to the cemetery to pay his respects.
The journey was calm. Soon, the car drove into a remote and backward mountain village. This mountain village was sparsely populated and poor. However, as the saying goes, poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people. Although Zhang Ye's hometown was here, it was extremely disgusting to mention this mountain village, especially Zhang Ye's second uncle. Zhang Ye really did not want to mention it.
Soon, they arrived at the cemetery. Zhang Ye parked the car on an open space by the side of the road, then brought the offerings into the cemetery.
They arrived in front of a grave. There was no pile or monument in front of the grave. This was not Zhang Ye's mother's grave, but Zhang Ye's elder sister's grave. Just now, it was said that poor mountains and rivers produced unruly people. In backward areas, they were uneducated and would do anything for money.
Zhang Ye's elder sister was a woman who had died before marrying. According to customs, people like Zhang Ye's elder sister could not be buried in the ancestral grave. They could only marry the deceased without a wife and enter the ancestral grave of another family. The unruly people here were all focused on making money. If the tombstones were erected, it was difficult to guarantee that there would not be some scum blinded by greed who would dig up the graves and steal Zhang Ye's sister's corpse to sell it to others for netherworld marriage.
This kind of behavior was common in the village. For money, they would do anything evil. In the village where Zhang Ye lived, this kind of behavior was even more common. There was no simplicity and kindness in the ordinary village at all. There was only haggling over every ounce, violence, and evil. Therefore, Zhang Ye was extremely disgusted with this hometown.
Arriving in front of the tomb, Zhang Ye took out the joss paper and kneeled in front of the tomb with a gloomy expression. Then, he took out a lighter and prepared to light the joss paper to start paying his respects. There was no one in the graveyard. Only Zhang Ye was alive. However, it was broad daylight. Coupled with the fact that he had been worshipping for many years, Zhang Ye had long lost his fear.
All of a sudden, a 100-meter-diameter planetary spacecraft appeared behind Zhang Ye. It was exactly the same as the UFO on Mars, but Zhang Ye did not notice it at all.
"Sister, I'm here to see you! It's been ten years. I wonder if you're doing well over there?”
Whoosh! The lighter was opened and the paper money was ignited.
"Let me tell you a piece of good news. Sister, my second sister is pregnant. I'm going to be an uncle. If you're still here, you'll be an aunt!”
Zhang Ye kept muttering from the bottom of his heart. Suddenly, Zhang Ye felt a shadow behind him, blocking the dazzling sunlight. Zhang Ye turned his head and looked up in confusion. Zhang Ye was dumbfounded when he turned his head. His mouth was wide open as he stared blankly.
It turned out that a flying saucer with a diameter of 100 meters had suddenly appeared behind Zhang Ye. Was this a UFO? Did aliens invade Earth? Various thoughts flashed through Zhang Ye's mind.
The strange thing was that after the UFO appeared, it seemed to have discovered Zhang Ye. It slowly approached Zhang Ye and stopped in the air less than ten meters away from Zhang Ye. Then, a five-meter-wide hole suddenly opened at the edge of the UFO's abdomen.
Then, two silver-white robots and a metal disc with a diameter of three meters appeared. The metal disc flew directly to the roof of Zhang Ye's car. Then, the metal disc sprinkled a light blue light, covering the small car. Then, the small car immediately rose into the air like a magnet, attracting the small car. Then, it entered the gap at the bottom of the UFO.
The other two robots walked towards Zhang Ye. Zhang Ye was instantly shocked and fell to the ground. He cried out in horror,"Who are you? Aliens? What are you doing? Don't come over, don't come over, help!”
Seeing that no matter what he said, the robot would not budge, Zhang Ye was so scared that his legs went weak. He began to shout for help. However, this place seemed to be a barrier in fantasy novels and mythical cultivation novels. Whether it was the appearance of the flying saucer or Zhang Ye's cry for help, no one noticed or responded.
Then, the two robots extended their hands at the same time and aimed at Zhang Ye. Then, a light blue light shot out from the index fingers of the two robots and hit Zhang Ye. Then, Zhang Ye was shocked to find that his body seemed to have been frozen. His entire body was completely frozen and he could not move at all.
Just like that, Zhang Ye was brought by the two robots to the bottom of the UFO. A blue light flashed, and Zhang Ye and the car disappeared into the UFO. After that, the UFO did not leave immediately and remained in the air.
Not long after, the flying saucer moved again and came to the top of Zhang Ye's sister's grave. Then, it sprinkled a white pillar of light and enveloped the grave. The pillar of light then disappeared, and the ground seemed to have sunk a lot. However, the ground then rolled, as if something was stirring the soil underground. Soon, the ground returned to its original appearance.
Then, the flying saucer returned to its original position and stood still.
This time, it took a longer time. About two hours later, the flying saucer appeared again. The opening in the belly of the flying saucer opened again. Then, Zhang Ye and the small car appeared at the same time with a beam of light. They did not move at all.
Zhang Ye stood at the side of the car as if nothing had happened, but also as if a lot had happened. The only thing that had changed was Zhang Ye's clothes. He had a black windbreaker and his shoes had also changed. They had changed from leather sandals to sports sandals.
Standing beside the car, Zhang Ye looked at the flying saucer in the sky with a calm expression. Zhang Ye nodded coldly, and the flying saucer trembled as if it was responding to Zhang Ye's actions. Then, it jumped and disappeared.
Zhang Ye turned around and looked at his sister's grave. He let out a long sigh, opened the car door, and got in.
After getting into the car, Zhang Ye ordered,""Activate, go home!"
"Yes, Master!" A crisp voice suddenly sounded from inside the car. It was very pleasant to hear. It sounded a little like the voice of Young Master Siming in Qin Shiming's anime.
As soon as he finished speaking, the car started automatically. Then, Zhang Ye put his hand on the steering wheel and the car automatically drove in the direction of Zhang Ye's home.
Soon, Zhang Ye returned home. He picked up his phone and dialed his father's number."Hello, Dad!"
"You're back? Is it safe on the road?" Mr. Zhang's honest voice sounded again.
"I just came back. Have a safe trip. Oh right, dad, I'm going back to school the day after tomorrow. Is there anything else at home?”
"No, no. Go buy some groceries and eat something good tonight. Remember to be careful on the road and be careful!”
"Alright, alright. Dad, I've been away for so many years. Don't you know this? Come back early tonight. Let's have a good meal today!”
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ye turned around and looked around. It looked very familiar, but it also seemed strange...
