What's going on?

Floating in the sky, the winged girl looked at the ground in surprise.

Just now, she was still fighting with that scrap metal, but when she was about to use "Sky Strike" to completely destroy it, her attack was actually deflected!

Not only that, but where the scrap metal had fallen, a few strange figures suddenly appeared...

These people are not Ex-Machina, what are they? !

I had clearly observed my surroundings during the previous battle. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be anyone here!

Is this a trap? Have I fallen into it?!

However, before the winged girl could react, she saw the man leading the group on the ground raised his head and looked at her. Then a black shadow flashed before her eyes, and the next moment the man appeared in front of her.

not good!!

Perhaps she instinctively sensed the danger and the girl quickly raised her hands, but at the same time, the man's fist had already burst out and hit the girl's lower abdomen directly.

“Poof!!!”

It was such a hard blow.

As Fang Zheng punched out, the violent shock wave directly shattered the girl's protection and hit her hard. Under this strong blow, the girl immediately opened her mouth and vomited blood. The whole person flew directly into the sky like a rocket. However, just as she "took off", she saw Fang Zheng's figure flash and appeared behind the girl. Then he clenched his hands, raised them high, and smashed down hard at the flying girl.

The next moment, the winged girl who had just transformed into a rocket and flew into the sky transformed into a meteor again and smashed directly onto the ground, creating a huge hole in the originally uneven surface of the earth.

“Wow…”

Looking at this scene, the girls next to them also showed expressions of pity.

"Mr. Fang Zheng, did you beat her to death?"

"Let him die half-dead. At least we can ask him for some information if he is left alive."

Fang Zheng glanced at the winged girl who was lying in the center of the pit, exhaling more air than inhaling, and then made a gesture to Homura Akemi.

"Tie her up, I'll go fix Hubie first."

"Yes, Master."

Hearing Fang Zheng's order, Homura Akemi nodded, then turned around to tie up the winged girl, while Fang Zheng came to Hubie, who had become broken again due to the time reversal, and snapped his fingers. Soon, time began to flow again, and in a moment, the broken mechanical girl was restored to its original state. Then, under the gaze of everyone, Hubie, who was originally lying on the ground, trembled suddenly like a fish that had come ashore, and then returned to its original state.

“…This is…pain…”

While muttering to himself, Xubi stood up and looked at Fangzheng.

"Is this what humans feel before they die? Is this what pain is?"

"No, most people can't bear this level of pain."

Fang Zheng shook his head, then raised his head and looked around.

"Anyway, let's get out of here. Aren't you worried about that man named Rick?"

“Ah… yes…!”

Under Hubie's leadership, it didn't take much effort for Fang Zheng and the others to meet the man named Rick in a place called a shelter but actually a cave.

“Hubby!!”

The man, who was originally sitting on the chair and looked distraught, stood up with a scream after seeing Hubie, rushed over and hugged her tightly in his arms.

"Oh my god, where on earth have you been? I've been so worried about you! What if something happened to you?"

"I'm sorry... Rick..."

Hearing the man's crying rebuke, Hubie reached out and hugged the man in front of him tightly.

"Hubby will never leave you again..."

"Well...really, stop making me worry...who are they?"

After he was relieved, Rick raised his head and looked at Fang Zheng and the others with a puzzled look. It was no wonder that he had such doubts, because in this world, humans were wearing very shabby clothes because they were struggling to survive. However, Fang Zheng and the others were from the Little Garden, so they were all wearing clean and tidy clothes - not to mention that there was a tightly tied up Flügel lying on the ground unconscious, which was even more surprising.

“They are the ones who saved me…”

Here, Hubie also hurriedly explained to Rick, including why she left Rick to set up the device by herself, was discovered by the Flügel, the two sides fought, and then she was defeated. She was originally destroyed but for some reason went to another world. Then she was repaired by Fang Zheng and others in that world. She explained the situation of this world to them and then asked them to take her back to this world...

"I never thought that something like this would happen..."

After listening to Hubie's story, Rick was also very surprised. He looked Fang Zheng and his group up and down carefully, then walked over and stretched out his hand.

"Hello, I'm Rick. You've really taken good care of my wife. Thank you."

Although Rick was somewhat curious that the other party came from another world, he was not very surprised. After all, all kinds of incredible things happened in this world, so it was not surprising that there was another world. But for Rick, it was enough for them to help Hubie. He could not imagine what would happen to him if he lost Hubie.

"You're welcome, it's just luck."

Fang Zheng stretched out his hand and shook it gently.

"By the way, your health is really terrible. It's a wonder you can hold on until now."

Before coming to this world, Fang Zheng had heard from Hubie that in order to avoid being discovered by the other party, Rick smeared "spiritual bones" all over his body during the plan... It was something that looked like volcanic ash, but it was extremely toxic. Although other races in this world could not confirm their true identities through magic after using it, it would erode themselves and even endanger their lives if it was used for too long. Rick's body had become extremely fragile due to the erosion of the spiritual bones, and his internal organs had been severely damaged. He looked like he was seriously ill and would not live long.

In fact, from what he could see right now, Fang Zheng could tell that this man named Rick was not going to live long.

"I can probably only live for another year. That thing called spirit bones is very poisonous."

"Hahaha, if it's only one year, then it should be enough."

Rick laughed when he heard Fang Zheng's death announcement.

"At least before that, we should be able to end our game."

"And let Hubie be a widow all alone? Come on, let me give you a buff."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng took out his personal terminal.

"Excuse me, this is..."

"Healing, it's difficult for you to move in your current state. We are not so cold-blooded as to let you chat with us in this situation. Come, lie down."

Although he was a little confused, Rick still followed Fang Zheng's advice and lay down on the bed. Fang Zheng then injected him with medical glue, used holy light to purify the pollution that had corroded his body, and made him a new left hand.

"...I never thought that I could actually do something like this..."

Looking at his left hand and his restored body, Rick was filled with emotion.

"Thank you so much..."

"You're welcome. It's just a convenience."

After they recovered their spirits, they were able to sit down and have a good chat and rest. Fang Zheng and the others had already heard about the situation in this world from Hubie, so they didn't pay much attention to it. Rick, on the other hand, was very interested in the affairs of the small garden and asked a lot of questions. Fang Zheng also explained to him what happened recently in the small garden and the previous "Gift Game". After hearing all this, Rick couldn't help but sigh.

"The world is truly amazing, but gods... they seem to be everywhere. To be honest, I can't imagine why anyone would want gods to save them."

This is not surprising. According to Rick and Hubie, the gods of this world are mainly produced through the Elf Corridor and the Essence of the Gods. For the humans in this world, the gods are not protectors, but just part of the disaster.

"Hahaha, people always fantasize about things they don't have. That's why they yearn for them because they don't have them. If they saw the gods of your world, then it would be a different matter."

Fang Zheng didn't really care, but he was more concerned about something else.

"I heard Hubie tell you about your plan...are you serious?"

"You think I'm too naive?"

"To be honest, it seems too naive to end the war without killing anyone or without anyone dying. Besides, the humans in this world have lost a lot because of this war. With my personality, I won't give up until I beat them up badly."

"Really? If I had your strength, perhaps I would think differently. However, in this world, humans are the weakest and most powerless race, so we can only use our own methods to win."

Rick didn't care when he heard Fang Zheng's rebuttal, and Fang Zheng just shrugged his shoulders and didn't go deeper into the topic.

"So, is there anything we can do to help? We're not here just for sightseeing."

"help……"

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Rick pondered for a moment, and then a light flashed in his eyes.

"I heard from Hubie that... in your world, there is something called the Gift Game, right?"

"That's right."

"Then... I hope you can help me play a gift game in this world... Is that okay?"

"oh?"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows.

"Tell me about it."
