Chapter Eighty-Five: Man
This open space is quite strange in the eyes of the shadow chasers from Pavatiga, however, when they were in Wei's hometown, except for Mobuck and Macageren, everyone else has seen some images projected by Wei, and there are also some image records on the bridge of the world's spaceship, although the two are different to a certain extent, but they still have something in common, presumably this design of the bridge is indeed very convenient, and each world has chosen the same design method, and because of this, the shadow chasers can immediately determine that this is the bridge of this spaceshipγ
The two old men were at the exit of the elevator, and judging by their appearance, they were at least eighty or ninety years old, their hair was gray and thin, and their bodies had become thin and dry. The elderly man sits in a wheelchair and the woman stands behind him with the wheelchair grip in her hand. Although the woman's back has been rickety like a crescent moon, and the man can no longer stand on his own strength, but at this time, both of them are neatly tidied up, their hair is meticulously combed, and their faces are even painted with light makeup, covering up the vicissitudes left by the years and making their complexion better.
The two of them were wearing the same gray uniforms, which looked like they should be military uniforms, or uniform uniforms on the spaceship, the uniforms were straight and close-fitting, making the two old men look extraordinarily energetic, and even their rickety backs were not so conspicuous.
The moment the elevator door opened, the sharp-eyed shadow chasers saw at a glance the anticipation and excitement in the eyes of the two old men, but when the elevator door was fully opened, the eyes of the old people had been replaced by indifference and alienation, just like just to welcome a few strangers for the sake of form.
"Dad...... Parents...... Mother. Needless to say, Delia already knew that the two in front of her were her parents, the usually smart and cunning little ones, but at this time they seemed to suddenly become timid and sluggish, their lips trembled violently, and they couldn't say a complete sentence. She wanted to walk over, but her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, and she couldn't lift them at all, so that she could only look at the two relatives in front of her from a distance, as if they were just two phantoms, and as soon as she got close, the phantoms would dissipate.
"Kemir, you must have remembered who you are, and you'll talk about it later. The man said to the Shadow Chasers with a stiff face, "A few guests from the other world, I'm Ryan, this is Nina, the two of us are the watchmen of this generation, and we are also the acting captains, please allow us to welcome all distinguished guests on behalf of the Brown Star civilization." β
"Oh, praise the Lord, praise the Holy Spirit. Shur half-opened his eyes and his fingers drew circles on his chest, "In the name of the nine hundred and twenty-eight Holy Spirits of Parvatiga, I offer my blessings to the civilization from the Brown Star, and may the song of civilization echo forever in the void." β
"We are really ashamed that we were not able to greet you all from afar, and I hope that a few guests from other worlds will bear with us. The man stretched out his hand and gestured to the room at the highest point of the bridge behind him, "Everyone, please come with me, we will discuss the specific questions in the captain's room." β
"Wait, this is not in a hurry, there is a lot of time. Xiuer said with a smile, "Before that, I thought the two captains should take care of their own family affairs first, but Delia mustered up the courage to climb here but was so ignored by the two, we, the visitors from the other world, see that we don't have a very positive view of the habits and social atmosphere of the Brown Star civilization." β
"Mr. Shull, I know you have good intentions, so when you are below, you have been speaking for Delia, but this is the internal affairs of our Jackdaw, outsiders do not know the inside situation and it is inconvenient to interfere, and Delia has disappeared, the reason why I stopped her is because once she leaves the virtual world, she will disappear completely, after all, she is just a phantom in the dream, and after disappearing, she can never appear again, and now there is only Kemir who still retains a little memory of the dream, and as time goes by, when this memory is also forgotten, the last bit of influence that Delia left in the world will be eliminated, and no trace will be leftγ β
The man's attitude was very tough, and his tone was categorical and did not hesitate: "I have already said when you are below, in the dream, we may be Delia's parents, but now we are by no means Kemir's parents, our relationship with her is just a member of the same civilization, so we did not ignore her, this is just a way to help her get rid of the dream in time." Besides, even if we really ignore her, it's just the custom of our Brown Star people, and from what position does Mr. Shul try to evaluate our habits?"
"From the standpoint of an uncle, is it enough?" How could Shuer be deceived by this man, especially the old woman beside him, looking at Delia or Kemir's gaze almost couldn't take his eyes off, so it was even more impossible to be deceived, so Shuer squinted his eyes and showed a strange expression, and said with a smile, "The little guy has called me uncle for so long, if I don't stand on her side and speak for her, what face will I have to let her call me like this again?"
"I don't care about the customs and habits of the Brown Star people, I don't care about Camir or Delia, I only know that as an elder and an uncle, I can't tolerate the little guy being sad, and I can't tolerate her being bullied. She wants to see her parents again, then I will help her see her, she wants to call her parents again, then we will create opportunities for her, position, qualifications, heh, anyway, we can clap our hands and go back after messing around, so we don't care about the position and qualifications. β
"You ......" The man almost got up from his wheelchair because of Shuer's choking, stared at Shuer viciously, and was speechless with anger.
"Tsk, little one, haven't you always wanted to call your parents to your face, haven't you always wanted to ask them, why did you leave you alone?" Shuer patted Delia on the shoulder and said with a smile, "What are you doing with such a good opportunity now, is it because you are worried that they don't care about you? Or is it because you can't figure out who you are?" So, are you Kemir or Delia, do they have the final say or do you have the final say?"
"Thank you, uncle, hehe, I understand. Hearing Shule's words, Delia's eyes, who had fallen into sadness because of the cold alienation of the man who called himself Ryan, suddenly lit up, the girl jumped up and hung on Shule's neck, kissed him heavily on the face, and then happily ran to the two old men, a man and a woman, hugged him in Ryan's resistant expression, buried his face in the side of the old man's neck and rubbed around, and muttered, "Dad, Mom, I'm back, Delia is back." β
The voice and movements were cheerful, but as he rubbed it, the old man felt that his neck was already wet, and the little one's laughter gradually became silent. Ryan sighed deeply, his stiff body slowly softened, and two trembling hands lifted up and gently hugged Delia's body. And Nina, the old woman beside him, had already burst into tears, holding her husband and children into her arms at the same time, and the strange family of three hugged each other on the bridge, crying silently.
"Is it really good for you to be like this?" Looking at the family who had been reunited after a long absence, Mia still had a cold face and asked softly, "Actually, that Ryan is right, right?" β
"I know he's right. Shuer clasped his hands to his chest and said with a smile, "He and Nina next to him have reached the limit of their physical condition, I'm afraid they won't live long, they don't want to recognize Delia, in fact, it's also to protect her, not to make her sad, let alone let her bear the danger of memory confusion, heh, I understand this kind of thing." However, I still need Delia to do something for me, and of course I want her to be grateful to me to death, and whether their recognition will make her even more sad is no longer on my radar. β
"Oh, that's right. Moria said dumbfoundedly, "I thought you saw that Delia would rather be sad later, but also want to recognize her parents' determination, so that I was moved by her persistence, so I kept helping her, it turned out that it was just not within your consideration, I understand." β
"Snort, man......" Miridy glanced at Shul with condescending contempt and sneered disdainfully, "stupid creatures who don't speak their minds, who don't speak their minds." β
"Tsk, I'm so sorry I'm stupid. Annoyed and angry, Shul glared at Moria, at Miriday, at Mia, and finally at Saf, well, Saf was just injured by mistake, and the grievances on the face of the accidentally injured female swordsman made Shure's hands itch for a while, and slapped on the back of Saf's thigh with a snap, and the female swordsman who had already accepted her fate had long lost the mind to resist, biting her lip and glaring at this guy sweetly.
On the quiet bridge, this sudden sound also woke up the family of three who were immersed in the joy of reunion, the old woman let go of the hands holding the two family members, slowly walked to the shadow chaser, hung her head deeply, and whispered: "Thank you for sending Delia back to us, you can't imagine how grateful we are." β
"We regretted and worried about it every day over the years, and in order not to make mistakes, we could only endure not to observe her state. However, the more this happens, the stronger our worries become, fortunately, you brought her in the end, so that we can make up for the mistakes of the past in the last stage of our lives, that old thing will not express feelings, in fact, he is happier than me, if there is any offense just now, please forgive me. β
"Oh, don't worry, ma'am. Shure put his arm around the old woman and smiled holy, "Although I have never been a parent, I can fully understand your intentions, and I will not blame Mr. Ryan, besides, I think Mr. Ryan is a little too excited now, and my heart is about to take it anymore, if you don't go to see him again, I am afraid that the comedy will become a tragedy." β
"Ahh β
Shuer stretched out his hands, revealing a helpless expression.
