Chengchu: "..."

Cheng Chu was stumped by the question; he couldn't answer it for a moment when faced with this ultimate question.

So, on a whim, he blurted out something nonsensical: "Um... humans are, are people."

Aris looked at him: "???"

Mikel looked at him too: "???"

The surrounding air: "…………"

After a moment of silence, Aris suddenly slammed his hand on the table and said fiercely, "Hey! Don't you want to hear what you said?"

Aris, with his fiery temper, thought Cheng Chu was just teasing him.

Cheng Chu was startled and shrank back, instinctively moving closer to Mikel.

"Aris." Mikel reached out to protect Cheng Chu, and scolded Aris. "If you don't want to find that male insect, we can go back now."

Aris, his face contorted with grievance, withdrew his hands and crossed them over his chest, then raised his chin and let out a cold snort.

Seeing that Aris remained silent, Mikel said to Cheng Chu, "My lord, don't be afraid. Aris is just too anxious. You can speak slowly."

Cheng Chu knew it was his own fault and he couldn't blame Aris for it. He pursed his lips: "Where we live, there are only humans, no insectoids. Humans are divided into male and female, and they don't have spiritual power, a spiritual sea, wings, or insect markings..."

Thus, through Cheng Chu's narrative of humanity, Mikel and Aris came to know a completely new species—humans.

Humans are a species living on a planet called Earth, a race completely different from the Zerg. Their languages ​​and cultures differ, they have no hierarchical order of spiritual power, and are not bound or influenced by spiritual energy or the spiritual sea. They practice gender equality, freedom of marriage, monogamy, and so on…

Finally, Cheng Chu considered for a moment and said, "I saw the video of the explosion on planet AF9. He must have traveled back to Earth."

Cheng Chu recalled that he had been transported to the Zerg realm because of an explosion, and that the fellow villager who disappeared in the explosion had most likely traveled back.

Cheng Chu later secretly watched it many times by himself, and he was certain that the person disappeared at the moment of the explosion, rather than being killed by the explosion.

It was then that Cheng Chu realized that the explosion was the way to travel back in time.

"Where is Earth?" Aris was the first to lose his composure, his mind filled with Cheng Chu's words that he had returned to Earth.

Aris was overjoyed and eagerly asked, "If I go to Earth, will I be able to find him?"

He went back to Earth...

He went back to Earth...

He really didn't die!

Damn it! How dare he abandon him and...

Aris secretly vowed that as long as he was alive, he would find him. Even if it meant searching to the ends of the earth, even if it was the most remote place on Earth, he would find him no matter what!

Unfortunately, this joy came quickly and went just as fast, immediately extinguished by Cheng Chu's words.

Cheng Chu shook his head: "I don't know."

"You don't know?" Aris's eyes were bloodshot. With his agile movements, he quickly got up and approached Cheng Chu. But he was stopped by Mikel at close range.

"Aris, calm down."

"Calm down? How can I calm down!" He shouted at Cheng Chu across Mikel, "What do you mean by 'don't know'? What do you mean by 'don't know'?"

Aris's agitated state clearly indicated that he was no longer in a calm state of mind.

"Both of us are from another time. There is no Earth in this world." Cheng Chu hid behind Mikel and tried his best to explain, "The Zerg and Earth are in two completely different timelines, so you can't find Earth, and you can't find him either."

"There's no... Earth here..." Aris suddenly lost his temper. The angry expression on his face froze, and his hand, which was pushing Mikel away, stopped in mid-air. He muttered to himself, "Two... timelines... I can't find them..."

Seeing Aris's distraught state, Cheng Chu felt a pang of pity. He peeked out from behind Mikel, trying to comfort him, "He... he's gone home, so you don't need to look for him anymore, right?"

We're not even in the same time and space anymore, so I don't know where to look for her.

"Shut up!" These words were extremely grating to Aris, who roared, "What do you know?!"

He promised he would always cook for him, promised he would always be there for him...

Aris's mind went blank; he could barely think. Suddenly, he looked down in a daze, a look of pain flashing across his face. He cried out, "Ugh..."

The sharp pain in his lower abdomen was fleeting, disappearing almost instantly. It was so quick it felt like an illusion, and Aris pressed his hand against his abdomen again, unwilling to give up.

I still don't feel uncomfortable at all. Is it because my emotions have been fluctuating too much lately?

Noticing that Aris was acting strangely, Mikel quickly took his arm and, seeing his pale face, asked worriedly, "Aris, what's wrong? Does your stomach hurt?"

"I'm fine." Aris shook his head to indicate that he was alright when he met Mikel's worried expression.

The man and the two female insects sat back down. Cheng Chu looked at Aris and saw that he was indeed alright, though his face was still a little pale. He asked, "Why did you insist on looking for him?"

Seeking revenge or incurring debt?

If it's a debt, is it a financial debt or a debt of affection?

Seeing Aris's expression, Cheng Chu and Mikel both agreed that it was the latter.

As he spoke, Cheng Chu seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, what's his name?"

For so long, it seems he still doesn't know his fellow villager's name, always referring to him as "the mute male insect" or "he".

Aris was stunned. After a long while, under the gazes of Cheng Chu and Mikel, his head lowered further and further, almost burying itself in his chest, but he still did not utter a single name.

The silence at that moment was deafening.

"No way!" Cheng Chu immediately raised his voice, "You don't even know his name, what do you want with him for?"

Assuming Aris could actually travel to Earth, which is so vast and has over eight billion inhabitants, it would be impossible to find someone without knowing their name. Even searching by name alone would reveal countless individuals with the same surname.

"Why are you shouting like that?" Aris muttered weakly, shrinking his neck. "Mikel, aren't you going to do anything about him?"

Mikel looked at Aris with a complicated expression, feeling it was necessary to re-examine Aris's mind.

Not knowing where someone is is one thing, but not even knowing their name is utterly absurd. Back when Aris was still a female soldier, she was quite clever; after two years, she's lost her mind.

"You..." Mikel was momentarily at a loss for words to say to him.
