Beng San, I have an unfinished date with her

"Next, I'll give you the [positioning point] I mentioned earlier."

"Hey? Your father really doesn't know how to say goodbye. How can we say goodbye forever? It's just a temporary separation~ Goodbye, my dear."

Xilin read out the last sentence almost word for word, and the words from Xilin came into their minds.

They seemed to see Alicia stroking their heads in front of them, softly speaking kind words to comfort them, and at the same time asking Long on the side not to speak so directly...

After a while, everyone calmed down.

"Is it over?" Ai said.

Xilin nodded, and the envelope turned into a ball of light floating in Xilin's hand.

"How to do?"

"Then Sister Xilin, please accept these coordinates. Sister Xilin, you are the Herrscher of the Sky. There is no one more suitable for induction than you."

"Well...then I'll accept it."

.....

...

In that high-dimensional space and time, the huge tree of imaginary numbers remained unchanged as it had been for eternity.

No time can measure how long it took.

After all, the concept of time itself is just a manifestation of the operation of a mechanism in existences such as the "Tree of Imaginary Numbers" and the "Sea of ​​Quantum".

But let’s use the familiar way of describing it.

Anyway, one day.

There are two rays of light... flying from an unknown location on the main trunk of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers to one of its areas, among all the "branches" that grow starting from the initial node of the "trunk".

And that area... can be roughly understood as the earth-moon system.

Brand new branches: 279.Birthday

The meteor streaked across the sky and fell straight into the woods not far from the town.

This made the child who couldn't sleep and was looking at the stars by the window scream out loud.

The town is very quiet at night.

The sound entered the ears of the woman downstairs who was knitting a sweater in the light without any disturbance.

She was confused for a moment, but it wasn't because of the child's "wow" sound - it was her husband's louder surprise not far away.

Soon, her husband explained to her why.

"Something fell into the woods near the town. I'll go take a look."

"Well, wear an extra layer, be careful of the cold."

"Haha, no problem."

With that said, he put on the coat handed over by his wife, took a flashlight and a long stick used for self-defense and pathfinding, and walked out, heading in that direction.

Fortunately, there aren't many people in the whole town who are as obsessed with the stars as he and his children are.

So he was the only one going to that place tonight.

But what's more worth mentioning is luck... Fortunately, one person saw the shooting star.

...

"...what?"

"Shira-"

A soft sound fell into the chaos, causing a series of shallow and silent ripples.

It's like calling someone, like commemorating someone.

Then what appeared was [Light]

"A...?" A baby's voice sounded.

A little light entered her chaotic and dark thoughts.

That light is good because it separates chaos, illuminates darkness, and dispels the original nothingness.

The light was so weak compared to this nothingness.

In this void, the light is so bright.

It is as obvious as a traveler in the dark night seeing the only North Star in the sky.

"what....."

This is the first existence other than nothingness and darkness that she has come into contact with in her life journey——

【Light】

More and more light spots poured in, and the light seemed to be getting closer, dispersing the darkness she saw.

"What's going on, a baby?"

"Fortunately, I brought my coat, it's so cold."

And...that light carries sound, color, and a certain soft temperature.

The light pours down, along with the complete warmth - they seem to flow across the calm lake, setting off waves in the water.

It's like spreading necessary nutrients to a seed, a new bud, and a budding flower.

Let it gradually sprout in the chaos of nothingness, and finally escape from that nothingness.

Her consciousness gradually became clearer, and she opened her eyes towards the light——

"what...."

What he saw in his eyes was the only aperture in the even greater darkness.

It was the light from that aperture that woke me up.

light...

Deeply reflected in her memory.

Everything in the world enters her eyes, and everything is reflected in her eyes.

The man's rough face had a completely mismatched look of worry and caution.

He bit the flashlight and freed his hands to wrap the coat continuously, trying to plug any gaps so that everything except her face was covered to prevent the cold wind from invading.

His eyes were full of expectation and concern.

As if to respond to the efforts of the world and the man in front of her, she also slightly opened her mouth and made a sound.

"Wow...."

"Whoa-! Uh-huh-!"

A cry, this is the first sound left to the world by the girl who lived her life with laughter.

The cries of infants and young children are so special that they can leave a full shadow in the hearts of every human being and awaken their emotions sleeping deep in their hearts.

"Oh - don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry~"

The light disappeared in front of her eyes. The rough man clumsily held her wrapped in the coat in his arms. He did not dare to use force. The baby's body was so soft, as if it would be squashed like a sponge with just a slight force. .

This forced him to bulge his arm muscles, lock his elbows, and wrap them in front of him to become a "little bed" for the baby.

But this is very simple. He is an experienced Yuanding, and his control of his skills has reached the extreme.

The other hand held a flashlight to hold the baby. He imitated the way his wife held his son in her arms to comfort him when he was a child. He kept bumping him gently and muttered something like, "Be good, don't cry." ” and constantly making sounds to coax the children.

All of this is completely inconsistent with his thick body and rough face, giving people a feeling of fun, but full of warmth.

After a while, perhaps his movements attracted the baby's attention.

She really didn't cry anymore, but just when he breathed a sigh of relief.

She cried again, her mouth hanging open.

"Hmm...you must be hungry, right?"

He looked left and right, had no choice but to shake his body in the cold wind, tightened his arms, and hurried towards home.

...

This is a border town called [Vostok-51].

The industrious Yuan Ding picked up a little girl with pink hair under the tallest ash tree in the forest outside the town.

Yuan Ding took the girl back to her home in the small town, and then sent her to a small orphanage next to the small town church.

The girl grew up very fast, and within a year, she was already able to run around in the fields.

She is cute and lively, loves to laugh and act coquettishly, and the residents of the town like her very much.

She is like a treasure given by the forest to the town.

One day under the moonlight, she named herself——

Alicia.

It means [flawless paradise, eternal paradise]

...

But... only Yuan Ding knew that night. His son had long forgotten the shooting stars he saw at night.

During this year of thinking, Yuan Ding figured out that she was not a treasure given by the forest, but by God.

Therefore, he was a little sad.

Since she is a goddess from heaven, how could he be the only one to see her?

as predicted.

One evening, the setting sun shone.

Before dinner, he was sitting in his flower garden, smoking a cigarette impatiently - when a tall vehicle, completely different from a car, came near him carrying some people.

Because he needed space for his flower garden, he easily spotted outsiders approaching the town.

Outsiders naturally discovered him immediately.

A handsome young man with blue hair like the clear sky got out of the car.

He is tall and tall, and at first glance he is not a simple creature.

But his face was always smiling, and he looked very kind.

He walked straight to Yuanding, gave him a military salute, took out his ID, and said kindly: "Hello, sir. I am the head of the field department of the United Nations Special Investigation Commission, Hen."

"I want to know something from you. Can you recommend the mayor?"

Yuan Ding took the certificate and looked at it, his eyes changed slightly... He knew that someone else would discover Alicia's existence... but he didn't expect it to come to this point.

He avoided Hen's eyes for a moment, returned the ID to Hen, and said with a philistine expression: "Hey, it's a trivial matter, sir, please come with me."

Her wife walked out of the room and was about to ask him to come back for dinner, but she saw the multi-wheeled military vehicle outside and shouted worriedly: "Honey."

Yuan Ding's expression did not change, and he still had the same fawning expression. He just secretly gave his wife a few looks: "This is an officer from the United Nations. I will help you meet the mayor. You and your son and daughter can eat first. No need." Wait for me."

【daughter? 】The wife was confused for a moment, but she didn't say anything. She nodded, turned back into the house and closed the door.

At this moment, she suddenly realized what her husband meant.

When she looked around, she saw that those people had already followed her husband in the car to the town, so she rushed to the orphanage through other paths.

Unexpectedly, he met his target halfway.

Alicia...

She was happily jumping from outside the town.

"Alicia!"

She softly called Alicia in an exclamation tone to attract her attention, as if she was afraid of being known from a distance.

"Huh? Auntie, what's wrong?"
