Chapter 184: , that alien girl uttered astonishing nonsense

――Liu Guozong

(III), that alien girl uttered astonishing nonsense: it turns out the moon is a hollow sphere……

The alien girl said: "You don't believe me? We aliens, when hungry, eat stones; when thirsty, we drink wind."

The city boy said: "Miss, you're getting more and more mystical. 'Eating stones and drinking the northwest wind' is a phrase we humans use to mock each other. Are you mocking us earthlings?"

The city boy got angry.

"You look down on us aliens. In our civilized era, you earthlings were still in a state of ignorance. Mocking each other is something low‑IQ people do; we high‑IQ aliens couldn't possibly engage in such low‑IQ tricks."

The alien girl also got angry.

"Alright, I believe what you say is true. I'm starving right now—please bring out that tasty stone delicacy so I can sample it." The city boy said.

The alien girl said, "Alright, close your eyes again and follow me."

The alien girl spoke, and was about to take the city boy's hand.

At this point, the city boy grew a little fearful and pleaded with the alien girl: "Miss, just now on Earth you had me close my eyes, and in a daze you brought me from Earth to the moon; now where are you taking me again?"

"Please follow me into our aliens' palace." The alien girl said.

"A palace? Where is the aliens' palace?" The city boy asked, his face a mix of confusion and excitement.

"The palace is right there," the alien girl said, pointing ahead with her hand at a smooth, mirror‑like expanse――

"Beneath the rocks on the shore of what you earthlings call the Sea of Tranquility lies our aliens' palace."

Following the direction the alien girl pointed, the city boy saw ahead a wide riverbed, but it contained no water; the riverbed was smooth as a mirror. The opposite bank was glittering rock.

Besides that, the city boy saw nothing else.

The alien girl looked at the city boy's bewildered face, smiled, and said: "Under that rock is our aliens' palace. This beautiful sphere that you earthlings call the moon is actually our outsiders' space station. We aliens live beneath the moon's surface; the moon is a hollow sphere, and below it lies our aliens' highly civilized world……

"Ah, so the moon is a hollow sphere……" the city boy……
