Chapter 3 A Temporary Loss of Memory

"Yes, I'm an alien," the blue-eyed man answered.

Long Xi was speechless. Had she time-travelled into a science fiction film? She had thought it was a horror film.

Silent for a good while, the blue-eyed man said, "Sister Long Xi, thank you for saving me."

"Ah? Did I save you? Did I have this ability?" Long Xi was more confused.

She tried to recall what happened last night, but her memory was messed up, which caused her to feel a sharp pain.

Because of the pain, the tears in her eyes also flowed out like clear spring water and fell on her rosy cheek. She looked like a weeping beauty, which caused pity for her.

The blue-eyed man stretched out an arm and said kindly, "Hello, let me introduce myself. My name is MK, from an asteroid far away from the Earth, the Planet BT."

MK deliberately showed a sincere, innocent, and healing smile, which was as charming as different kinds of flowers in full bloom in the spring and was warm as if it were able to melt the snow in high mountains. Hence, Long Xi relaxed her vigilance.

Long Xi felt that MK did not have bad intention, so she reached out her small hand and shook with his big hand.

Her soft little hand was held by his warm and powerful hand, which made her feel comfortable and unwilling to let it go.

"Planet BT? Is he really an alien?"

She reluctantly released her grip and blushed for her own sloppy behavior.

MK did not seem to mind it and said, "I just absorbed all your memory, copied one in my mind and learned your language."

Long Xi was shocked and said, "You're so awesome? You not only could absorb my memory, but you have the strong ability to learn language? Do you have super powers?"

"If you meant the supernatural powers, no, I don't have. I'm a scientist on our planet and respect science, so I don't believe those things that have no scientific basis. A year ago, I discovered a spatio-temporal tunnel near our planet. It's like the wormhole earthmen said. I took the spacecraft that I invented and entered the tunnel. By the way, the speed of the spacecraft was close to the speed of light. Little did I expect that I spent one year in the tunnel and I were still unable to pass through it. The tunnel was too long and dark, and seemed endless." He explained patiently.

Long Xi felt like she watching "Interstellar"!

"The food on the spacecraft had run out and I thought I would die in the tunnel. I didn't expect that my spacecraft was suddenly sucked out by an invisible force, went straight through the earth's atmosphere and hit the earth," he said.

"He had a narrow escape. How exciting!" Long Xi widened her eyes.

"The one over there that was like a coffin in your mind is actually the single-cabin spacecraft that I invented. Its speed is close to the speed of light, so I call it Light-speed Spacecraft. Fortunately, my spacecraft is made of the hardest intelligent platinum alloy in our planet and it has perfect protection system and explosion-proof facilities, so although the spacecraft violently collided with the ground and even resulted in the hole, it did not explode," he added.

"Why did you design the spacecraft like a coffin? It scared the hell out of me."

"But the central system of the spacecraft was damaged. I couldn't open the door of the spacecraft. I had been trapped in the spacecraft for seven days and couldn't get out. Fortunately, you accidentally bumped into the outer switch of my spacecraft, which is the skeleton flower carved from jade. You turned on the switch by chance and saved me. Thank you," he said.

Long Xi recalled that a few days ago, they were in class, and there was a loud noise from the back of the mountain. Then they saw a cloud of dust and smoke. As the back of the mountain was haunted, teachers and students thought it was a paranormal event, and no one dared to come here to check out.

"It turned out to be the huge sound of his spaceship hitting the ground! So I saved him by chance?" Long Xi nodded and put on a look that "I totally believe in your words."

In fact, Long Xi was dubious about it.

Perhaps it was because Long Xi's grandmother was a hawker who sold breakfast. She had helped her grandmother to sell breakfast since she was a child. She was actually adept at reading people's mind from their words and facial expressions.

She could recogize that his words were half-truthful and that even if she might have inadvertently saved him, he did not intend to talk to her about the real purpose of his coming to the earth lest he get into unnecessary trouble.

However, she did not want to unmask him because she was afraid that he would do something bad to her.

Hence, she pretended to be very convinced of his words and concealed her emotions very well.

Her real thought was that: This person called MK might be a high-dimensional creature from another planet. He might have a high IQ, but his EQ was not very high. He was not good at hide his inner world, but he did not know this.

She had no idea that the alien MK knew her ideas very well. When she was in a coma, he had installed a subsidiary chip in her brain.

MK had no good impression of people on earth and thought that the wisdom of the weak creatures was not worth mentioning and that the scientific and technological level on earth was far behind their planet.

It was not that he was not good at hiding his emotions. He actually disdained to do that.

Earth people liked to do experiments with white mice while he would use earth people to do experiments. This girl was his first little white mouse.

In fact, he did not think that his idea was good and did not know how he came up with this evil thought. However, he did not want to touch the dark side of his heart at this moment.

"You couldn't recall it, right? It's because I deleted the memory for you. I wanted to test whether my ability to absorb other people's memories and delete other people's memory can work for earth people. It seems to be useful. Then I will return that memory to you now," MK said in a flat tone, as if earth people said that they had meals today.

He placed his right palm on the back side of Long Xi's head and said, "Restore all the memories that have just been deleted."

Long Xi felt her brain tingle.

When he removed his palm, Long Xi suddenly recalled what happened in the deep hole and could not help wondering if it was a nightmare.

Recollecting all of it, Long Xi felt unhappy. "Did he treat me as a experiment object? Absorbed my memory for a while, deleted it for a while, and then restored it. Am I your white mouse?"

She said angrily, "Are you insane? Kill me or do whatever you want, but don't try to play tricks on me!"

He ignored her anger, stretched out his long, slender hand, placed it on her shoulder, and patted her as if to comfort her.

"Dear, don't be mad. I'm a scientist, and I like to do experiments. It's just my occupation habit." He spoke the earth language very well. His words were clear and coherent. He actually made a joke with earth people's tone and punchline.

A smile lifted the corners of his mouth, pretty like poppies in full bloom. People knew that poppies were poisonous, but they could not resist the urge to get close to them.

Seeing his smile, Long Xi was stunned and even forgot her anger. Her heart beat faster.

"Is that coffin really your spaceship?" To cover up her inner panic, she deliberately shifted the topic.

"Yes, I invented this Light-speed Spacecraft. I'm called a genius scientist by people on our planet. I'm also the strongest brain of our planet, the strongest mech controller, the strongest beastmaster!" he said in a calm tone as if he did not think that what he said was amazing.
