Chapter Eighty-Four: Awakening
In the box, there was also a girl lying there.
is a little older than Delia, about thirteen or fourteen years old, although he is also childish, but after all, he has matured a lot. The girl was dressed in a strange one-piece suit, and there was a circular sign on her chest that read the number thirteen, and I don't know what it meant. She put her hands on her chest and fell asleep quietly, the white frost covering her body was rapidly fading, revealing her original complexion.
"Is this Delia's child?" Mia, a scholar, was the first person to understand the truth other than Shuer, who had Wei's help, and she approached the box where the girl was lying and tried to reach out and touch it, but the freezing air emitted from the box made her retract her hand and could only observe from a distance.
"It should be, I think parents will never mistake their children, heh, even if they are not real parents, but some feelings can't be faked. Shuer looked up and asked, "Two, the deep space navigation technology of this world should not still stay at the stage of relying on cryonics technology." ”
"We'll explain this to you when you get to the bridge. The old man smiled self-deprecatingly, "Our situation is really special. ”
"Okay. Shure shrugged, "Your current technology, how long will it take to thaw?"
"It's almost over, and in fact, you can already touch the hibernation chamber now. ”
Looking back, sure enough, the box, which was cold just now, has now become normal, and the girl's face inside has returned to ruddy, her chest has returned to normal undulations, and even her eyebrows have been tightly wrinkled together, as if she is about to wake up at any time.
"She seems to be very uncomfortable. Shuer asked with some concern, "Is it really okay?"
"Alas. The old man sighed deeply, "Didn't you just say everything, I hope she still remembers her current self." She wanted that too, so now she struggles between forgetting and remembering, trying to make memories of the past. After all, everything that happened before was just a dream for her body, and when she woke up, she almost forgot about it. ”
"Does everyone forget when they wake up?" Shure asked, frowning, "I mean those who don't struggle." ”
"It's basically like that. ”
"But you haven't forgotten. Shul said suspiciously, "At least you still remember Delia clearly. ”
"Because we've struggled and we've succeeded. The kind old woman's voice interjected, "We don't want to forget each other, and ......"
"Delia?"
"Hmm. After a long silence, the male old man hummed slightly, and then raised his voice as if to cover it up: "Your appearance, as well as our existence, has stimulated her dream too much, too much, so that she is likely to remember this dream very clearly, this is ...... Not necessarily a good thing. ”
"Are you going to die because your life is near?" said Shure without any cryptography, "will it deal a second blow to her?"
"More than that, phew, she's awake, let's talk later. The old man hastily cut off the communication, and the last thing that came from the communication was a hectic voice, mixed with voices such as 'Comb, comb, uniform, find my uniform, you find it yourself, I'm putting on makeup.'"
The shadow chasers looked at each other for a while, and then let out a few sneers neatly, what a non-frank guy, ridiculous and cute.
So, when Delia opened her eyes again, she saw seven people with strange expressions.
The girl blinked, and her groggy brain turned again, these people ...... Who is it? Familiar and unfamiliar, why do you seem to have seen him somewhere? Especially the man in the black robe, why do you feel a sense of attachment when you look at him? I don't think I have seen him, I remember...... What do I remember, and who am I?
The girl pushed open the lid of the box, covered her forehead with her hand, and pondered, who am I? Where am I? I am...... Kemil, no, I'm Delia, I'm ...... Yes......
The brain is tingling, dreams and reality are intertwined, and the memories of many years ago and the memories in the dreams emerge in the mind one by one, constantly colliding, constantly conflicting, and finally merging into one.
I remembered, I used to be Kamil, I was Delia in my dreams, I, I was on the Jackdaw, I had just woken up from the dream project, I ...... I want to see my parents again, and I want to see my uncle again, by the way, this man is my uncle, and next to him are his friends, who helped me wake up.
Finally clarifying her memory, the girl looked up and saw that Shur was already standing beside her, looking at her with a smile on his face, and the other six people were whispering, glancing at her from time to time, obviously talking about her state.
"Uncle......" The girl opened her mouth, and finally regained the long-lost language function, "I'm back." ”
"Heh......" Shuer skillfully stretched out his hand and patted her on the head, and the other shadow chasers also smiled, "How does it feel to wake up from a big dream?"
"It sucks, the headache doesn't look like my own. Delia regained her slyness and grumbled as she covered her head, "I regret it now. ”
"Unfortunately, there's no turning back. Shure pointed to the box beside her, motioning for her to look at it herself.
Stretching her neck to see, in the box, Delia's original body has turned into ashes, and among the ashes, only a glittering prismatic crystal remains, there is no doubt that it is a memory chip belonging to Delia.
"Hey, I'm gone. The newborn Delia tried to crawl out of the box, but unfortunately, there were still some stiff bodies that could not complete such complex movements, and in the end, it was Shul who carried her out and supported her, and she barely regained her mobility.
"Kemir, are you awake?" the man's voice sounded again, only this time with a bit of indifference and detachment, "Come to the bridge, it's time to brief you." ”
"Daddy, Mommy, can't you call me Delia?" said the little one, rolling his eyes and looking up with a grin, "I haven't forgotten anything, including the things you beat me up when I was a child." ”
"You ......," the old man choked, "you didn't even remember at the time." ”
"But when you wake up, you remember everything, hehe. Delia smirked, like a little mouse with teeth and claws, the little guy recovered quickly, and was already able to stand on his own, the girl gently broke free of Shuer's hand holding her, looked up at him and said seriously, "Uncle, thank you for taking me to find my parents." ”
The shadow chasers have a very disobedient delusion.
The age is different, the appearance is different, even the height and body shape are different, but the attitude of the little girl is the same, obviously she is already a stranger, but she has a familiar feeling, even onlookers like the shadow chasers will feel a little uncomfortable, but you can imagine how awkward Delia herself will be, I'm afraid I can't tell the difference between dream and reality.
"Let's go, uncle, let's go to the bridge. Delia became a lot more active at this time, habitually holding Shuer's hand and dragging him forward, behind Shuer, Shuer seemed to be able to feel that two of the eyes behind him became extremely subtle, full of dangerous aura, very scary, well, yes, very dangerous.
"The bridge, the bridge, should go up from here first. Memories of the past grew clearer, Delia looked around, and led the shadowchasers to a heavy metal door, and brought her eyes to the scanning facility next to the door, "Remember that I should have had permission before I was alive, ah, before I was alive, before I woke up." ”
"Drop", a mechanical electronic voice came from above the metal door, "A-4 access permission, approved, access open, Miss Kemir, welcome back, the total permission system has been partially adjusted, please go to the information center in time to update your identification chip." ”
"Got it, Jackdaw, you're still so verbose. The little guy became more and more familiar, and turned back to Shul and introduced, "The upper level is the control center and energy center of the ship, and only people with A-class clearance or permission can enter. ”
"Tsk, so your original status is quite high. Shuer looked at the little guy's thin body with some surprise, "I really can't see it." ”
Even though he looked like he had grown a lot, the little guy's figure was still as pitiful as before, and Saph looked down, and then looked up, well, he won.
"Ha, uncle, you misunderstood, level four is only medium clearance, as for the prefix, it represents the area that can be passed, the energy center control center is a place with complex facilities, in order to avoid outsiders from casually touching and damaging the equipment, only professionally trained A-class personnel are allowed to enter. I can't enter anywhere, such as the bridge, such an important place, only people with third-level access are allowed to pass, and the spaceship control room is even more forbidden, and people who don't have second-level access will be warned even if they get close. Hmph, I still remember, when I was a child, I was not sensible, and I wanted to sneak into the bridge to play, oh, when I was a child, I meant when Camille was a child, not when Delia was a child, and Delia didn't even know what a bridge was when she was a child, hehehe, but that time not only was she scolded by the stupid Jackdaw, but she was also criticized by the captain by name, woo woo woo. ”
As she spoke, Delia waved her fist at the sky, as if to intimidate the Jackdaw, which had cursed her, and the ship's central computer was of course unmoved, ignoring the threat from a little girl.
"You were on the ship when you were a child?" Shure asked, puzzled, "It's rare to take a child on a ship, right, you're following your parents...... I mean, Kemir's parents came up together?"
"Uncle, you don't understand. A hint of gloom flashed in Delia's eyes, and her voice was a lot lower, "Things are different from what you imagined, we are all children who grew up on the spaceship, and besides, the society on the spaceship, there is no concept of parents, we ...... Ah, the bridge has arrived. ”
When the metal door opened again, the scene outside the door had changed, it had become empty and open, and two old humans stood one by one, waiting outside the door, looking at the people inside the door with complicated eyes, or rather, at Delia inside the door.
