If you follow Li Kai's instructions, from now on, the only thing Delta has to do is to wait.

In the terminal controlled by Li Kai's special program, a window that will only appear after entering a specific code is fluctuating steadily. Its job is to search for the signal transmitted by Li Kai to ensure that Li Kai can continue to contact after receiving the coordinates. Delta.

"This terminal, if there is no accident, don't turn it off." Delta sat on his computer chair, leaning on the back of the chair, crossing his legs and thinking.

"Or, at the very least, there must be a fixed boot time."

After doing all this, Delta rubbed his temples, rolled into bed, and prepared to rest for a while.

----

Quantum Sea.

After a long absence, Li Kai and the ferryman reunited.

Li Kai looked at the figure in the black robe of the ferryman, and the ferryman was also looking at Li Kai's body, that is, the big ball of light that had always been hidden deep in the bubble of the intrinsic world.

I don't know how many years ago, they also met face to face like this, and the years have never left many marks on the body of the ferryman.

Perhaps it was because he had entered a world with a different flow of time, instead of spending so many years building infrastructure on the periphery of a bubble like himself.

[This world bubble... has given me a lot of surprises and gained a lot, so I'm here to fulfill my promise. 】

[According to the agreement, I will take the World Bubble, and you will take the Singularity. 】

A core-like object floated in front of the ferryman.

"Do you think I'm here to tell you this?"

The black robe covered the ferryman's face, and his tone was a bit cold.

【Do you have to be obsessed with Delta? 】

Li Kai's tone was very calm.

"...I think the worst thing I did was let Delta accept your employment."

In the empty space, there were only two things, the ferryman and the big ball of light. Suddenly, many images appeared around like a movie.

Those are all the experiences Delta had when he was in Seaside World.

From being self-serving in the dream and unwilling to wake up at the beginning, to finally being relieved and having some hope for the future life again, the change came so quickly, even so fast that the ferryman was a little strange.

In the seaside world, Delta met a lot of friends, Brownie, who is very active, gentle and eccentric Xier sisters, and Lilia......

She actually knew that it was impossible for her Lilia to come back, and she also knew that the Lilia she knew in Seaside World was not the one she used to be.

But this does not affect Delta, who has regained the courage to face the past, to treat this Lilia as his family.

[As you can see, Delta already has concerns here, and has the idea of ​​wanting to protect his family and friends. 】

【From the bottom of her heart, she wants to make this place better, so that Lilia and her friends can live in a more hopeful world, and she takes actions for this, otherwise she would not agree to my employment so easily. 】

"Is everything according to your plan?"

[A plan... In my opinion, I just gained an insight into a certain aspect of Delta's inner appeal, and gave it an objective environment that might allow it to take root. 】

[I remember that your ship seems to be full of people who have no attachment to the world. 】

Both sides were silent for a while.

"It seems that you have a clear understanding of my criteria for recruiting people."

【So, are you going to call Delta back to the ship? 】

......

"No need." The ferryman sighed, grabbed the ether singularity casually, and then turned around.

Walking slowly, the hand holding onto the etheric singularity tightened and then loosened.

On both sides of the ferryman, Delta's actions and pictures in the seaside world are played like a silent movie, passing the ferryman's eyes without a sound.

She hugged Lilia and cried, and she would cheer for Lilia, accompany Lilia on the roller coaster, and send Lilia to and from school...

There was a smile on Delta's face that he hadn't seen since boarding his ship.

The memory of the past has not disappeared in Delta's mind, but now she has found new things that can fill her up.

I'm worried...

"Just let her stay with you."

The back of the ferryman was still tall and straight, and as his footsteps gradually drifted away, leaving here, his shoulders and footsteps shook slightly and regularly.

I am just a boatman.

The boat is small, the road is long... If you have concerns, friends, please stop walking with me.

After all, the yearning is too heavy and the boat is too light.

Not approved

Delta had a dream. In the dream, she unloaded all her responsibilities, stopped what she was doing, and walked on the way to pick up Lilia from school.

It was a beautiful world. In that world, she didn't need to worry about the Houkai Beast taking the lives of her relatives, and she didn't need to worry about life.

The only thing to worry about is that Lilia and her friends are messing around again.

Thinking about it carefully, this joyful and escaped personality of doing things from time to time is very similar to her before, except that she was not really carefree at that time, nor did she take all potential dangers into consideration.

But here, everything has turned out well.

If only it were true.

Looking at the vaguely small trees in the field of vision, Delta didn't know what to think of. The passers-by on the road were talking and laughing, there was no collapse, no horror between life and death, and everyone was living in an ordinary way.

The only thing that I might not understand is that even though I have no job, I can still live well in this ordinary society and still have the time to take care of Lilia.

However, this is a dream after all, if it is true, you will wake up.

Thinking of this, Delta sighed.

This is not the first time she has a lucid dream. In the past, she was most afraid of this place, because she could always think of that day when the wind and snow were blowing.

The reality is not perfect, and the regretful experience is actually the unique proof of Delta in a sense. Humans always have to accept shortcomings.

Learn to accept the fact that Lilia is no longer there, recall the self who experienced all this with her, and admit that she is not omnipotent.

Then go to meet new relatives and friends, new emotions.

The school bell rang, interrupting Delta's thoughts.

The mischievous students rushed to the outside of the school as if they had broken free from a cage, and looked expectantly at the crowded crowd outside the school to see if there were any parents of their own among the adults who came to pick up the students.

It was at this time that Delta's face became visibly unhappy.

She was too short, and if she didn't stand in front, she wouldn't be able to see Lilia's figure for the first time, and standing in front would make her look more like a student than a parent.

But such thoughts did not last long.

When she saw Lilia's iconic blue hair, all the unhappiness and gloom disappeared. At this time, she was no different from many parents who picked up their children from school.

Oh, there is still a difference. Others are really picking up their children, while Delta is picking up his sister.

"Lilia, this way!"

Delta ecstatically raised her head, tiptoed, jumped and waved.

Lilia saw Delta's movements, and waved her small hand carrying her schoolbag. Unfortunately, isn't her bangs a bit long?Delta couldn't see Lilia's eyes at this moment.

At this moment, she could only see the corners of Lilia's mouth raised, and then she opened her mouth to smile happily, her teeth were exposed a little, shining slightly in the sun.

Suddenly the space began to distort, as if someone was violently stirring the painting vat full of dreamy dyes, the colors lost their meaning, and she gradually lost sight of Lilia.

"Are you awake?"

Delta stared blankly at all this, then sighed.

A heavy sense of dizziness and weightlessness churned in Delta's mind, and his eyes were pitch black without any light.

beep----

A soft chime sounded from nowhere, ethereal, distant, and fleeting.

Like the cry of whales in the deep sea, or the moment when the electrocardiogram jumps, it goes straight to the soul, accompanied by faint breathing sounds.

beep----

The voice rang out regularly, and Delta's mind gradually became empty.

It's dark, but it's not pure darkness, just like the vision of a person after closing their eyes, there are some unexplainable grotesque light spots in the black.

"Hmm..." Delta gradually opened his eyes, light pierced through the darkness, and the standard ceiling unique to Flaming Moth came into Delta's eyes.

dreaming?

Delta was thinking in a daze, the brain still remained, he didn't sleep well, and he was forced to get up early after staying up all night.

So, what was the dream about?

Delta tried hard to recall, but it seemed that he could only think of some sporadic and grotesque images, and Lilia's smiling face with her mouth slightly open but her eyes couldn't be seen clearly.

beep----

The familiar voice remembered again, speaking of it, he was woken up by this thing.

Delta rubbed his temples, straightened his waist vigorously, sat up from the lying position, shook his head, and subconsciously looked at the source of the sound.

It's a computer.

The computer that Chasing Moth gave him, he transformed it into a receiver for communicating with Li Kai and the others, and it worked quietly at regular intervals.

Delta's eyes lit up, he didn't even have any clothes on, he crawled sideways to the computer desk, the quilt slipped off his body, revealing his creamy white shoulders with a little rosy rosy.

Shoulders, neck, collarbone...Delta, who pays great attention to the distance between himself and others, has never allowed his body to be in too much contact with other people, except for Lilia.

And even Lilia seldom touches these parts of Delta. After all, stroking the collarbone and neck, which is a sensitive area for Delta... No matter how you look at it, it looks like Lala would do it matter.

The girl's slightly sensitive parts were not covered by the quilt and were exposed to the air, but Delta didn't care about these, she was the only one here, and she cared more about the movements in the computer.

Delta opened the secret program neatly, and carefully searched the background records of the program, but she didn't even notice the expectant gaze hidden in her eyes.

After more than ten minutes, Delta's eyes gradually dimmed.

No audio.

"No, don't rush."

"I fulfilled his request ahead of time, maybe Li Kai hasn't started to move yet."

"be patient."

"Li Kai is an AI, he won't lie, if he tells himself to wait, he will definitely come."

"One day I can go home..."

After having caring, traveling again, the mood is different, and the feeling is also different when being alone and with relatives in the distance.

"One day..." Delta sat on the bed with M-shaped legs, suddenly smiled wryly, and gritted his teeth.

"Damn dream!"

......

Drop drop-

Click!

"Hey?"

Delta sorted out her mood, and her tone became that indifferent look again.

"Delta, quickly, come to me." Miss Alicia's tone was very mysterious.

Delta frowned.

She can be sure that there is nothing important about Ellie in this tone, and she is going to make fun of herself again.

Thinking of this, Delta still got dressed and went to Alicia's side.

Open the door, look up.

Mei, Kevin, Ellie, and Su are four old acquaintances, and Hua, a newcomer, is also among them.

"What are you doing here? A dance?" Delta said suspiciously.
