Russell was huddled lazily in the thin quilt, squinting his eyes and yawning.
"Are you awake?"
He heard the voice of a delphinium coming from beside him.
"Um……"
Russell hummed in a low voice, sniffed the air gently, and then slowly squirmed in the direction of the scent of his hair.
He put his head on Delphinium's chest, and Delphinium patted his head impatiently, and tugged Russell's fluffy ears slightly.
Russell then put his head on Delphinium's shoulders.
He opened his eyes and saw Delphinium wearing his gaming goggles, and was a little surprised.
"...What are you playing at?"
Although Delphinium often plays games, she doesn't like stealth games very much now. Because it will invalidate her sense as a cyber detective-if she adapts to this kind of stealth games,
The sense of operation is often easy to slack off when you really dive into the matrix space.
This kind of stealth game is very suitable for training new cyber detectives. But once you become a "veteran", it is no longer suitable to be exposed to something that will make you lose your sense of tension.
Russell has known Delphinium for almost a year.
But this was the first time he saw Delphinium wearing a game goggles specially designed for stealth games.
"No, I'm not playing."
Delphinium responded casually to Russell's words: "I'm just reviewing your XP."
"……What?"
"It's a pity...you don't want to play with Little Butter?"
Delphinium smacked her mouth, took off her blindfold and put it aside.
The loose hair was flying, and the tip struck Russell's ears like a sharp whip, making his ears tremble unconsciously.
Delphinium looked down at the cat head in her arms, touched his ears hard, and then hugged him directly: "You guy... I have clearly heard that even married men will collect some small things."
Buttery.”
"It's true." Russell nodded.
Then he suddenly realized: "You want to see what kind of play I like to play?"
"Yeah. I recently collected a post, and I can determine what my boyfriend likes by looking at the achievements of different little butters he has collected..."
Delphinium was a little confused: "Why don't you play at all?"
"...Because you and I live in the same room."
Russell was a little helpless: "Did the post say that those 'married men' actually slept in separate rooms with their wives? How could I play that kind of game in front of you..."
"Why do we need to separate houses after getting married?" Delphinium was a little confused.
"Then I don't know." Russell shrugged.
"Anyway," Delphinium said with a smile, "I have some resources here, do you want to pick a few?"
"Why are you suddenly so interested in this kind of thing today..."
Russell muttered, feeling his sleepiness coming back to him.
So he pulled at the edge of the quilt, preparing to shrink back and catch up on his sleep.
He had been wandering in the sea of group subconscious last night, cleaning up the pollution of "dreams". Although Russell's body and brain had rested, he felt that his spirit was still a little tired.
Now, he can probably tolerate this feeling of alienation.
At least I won’t have headaches or visual and auditory hallucinations after waking up like when I just advanced to level 9 red shift a few months ago. However, the fatigue caused by being busy in dreams cannot be completely eliminated.
of.
But there is nothing we can do.
Now that Russell has crossed the Leviathan Wall, he no longer has a "private dream." As long as he dreams, he will surely sink into the collective consciousness.
According to Russell's character, when he saw people close to him being polluted by illusions, he couldn't just turn a blind eye and let it go. As a result, after clearing what was in front of him, he saw that there were more things in the distance that had not been cleared.
So he had to float over again and clean up the next area... As a result, he was able to stay busy all night.
"Don't sleep yet—"
Delphinium reached out and pulled out Russell who had just retracted.
Russell subconsciously opened his mouth and wanted to bite. However, after Delphinium put her hand in, Russell did not bite it, but just held her palm in his mouth.
"Woo?"
Russell opened his eyes dissatisfied and took a glance.
Delphinium stretched out her hand in front of her face and pushed a message to Russell.
That is a gold-level member of Ampoule Biomedical, which provides a daily routine physical examination report by sampling body information at any time through a chip.
Then Russell didn't have to open his eyes and directly saw the bright small words "Consider the possibility of pregnancy (97%)".
He was startled for a moment, and his mouth subconsciously relaxed.
"……when?"
"The report says it was twenty-five days ago. It's less than a month ago."
Delphinium said with a smile: "So, if nothing else happens... you have to abstain from sex for two months.
"That's why I'm choosing games for you... Why don't you take a look at the recommendations?"
She said, putting the game blindfold on Russell.
"...haven't you already installed it all?"
Russell took a closer look and subconsciously complained: "Why do the heroines have dog ears?"
Only then did Russell discover that his gaming glasses had already installed a lot of games that he had never seen before.
Then before he could take a closer look, Russell's gaming blindfold was removed by Delphinium.
"Did you look straight?"
"Didn't you give it to me..."
Russell muttered and shrank his neck.
Delphinium lowered its head, turned over and bit Russell's ear.
And Russell was held down by Delphinium with one hand - even though Delphinium didn't exert any force at all, he still didn't dare to move.
"Why are you so calm?"
Delphinium finished biting Russell's ear and was a little dissatisfied with Russell's reaction: "Have you guessed it before?"
"I didn't deliberately avoid it...and I didn't use safety measures. It's just a matter of probability."
Russell said casually: "If you want to say whether you are happy or not, you must be happy..."
When he said this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong with Delphinium's attitude.
So Russell instinctively used his weird psychic perception, which he rarely used on Delphinium on weekdays, and turned it into psychic tentacles to penetrate into Delphinium's heart.
Just like a bat receiving ultrasonic signals, Russell almost immediately sensed the hidden fear and worry from Delphinium's seemingly calm and joyful expression.
He stood up and sat up straight, reached out and touched Delphinium's face with concern, and said softly: "What's wrong? What are you afraid of?"
Delphinium also put away her smile this time and said softly: "I was thinking... can we keep this child?"
Russell was a little confused by her words: "Why not?"
"——Because of dusk."
Delphinium frowned slightly, and her beautiful face showed a melancholy like a crescent moon: "You can control the power of dusk with reason and love, but what about this child?
"Will he also inherit part of your...essence? In that case, if he can't control his power..."
"...Wait a minute, let me take a look."
Hearing this, the expression on Russell's face became serious.
Under Delphinium's stunned gaze, he gently laid Delphinium down on the bed.
"Wait, what do you want to see? Eh-?!"
Russell's right arm turned into a liquid like a living thing, seeping into Delphinium's body as she blushed.
Delphinium suddenly exclaimed shyly: "Wait a minute, you... are actually... warm water...!"
"Then I can't use cold water to check. It would be too harmful to the body."
While Russell complained, he quickly took back the liquid and re-condensed it into his right arm.
He breathed a sigh of relief and comforted Delphinium: "I didn't sense the power of dusk, so you don't have to worry."
"Can you still use your spiritual power like this?!"
Delphinium's whole body was immediately moved by Russell's torment.
She checked again and again and found that there was no water stain left on her body.
If she hadn't still had a clear feeling of warm water flowing through her body, she would have thought it was just an illusion.
"How could I leave water stains on you? I'm not a snail that leaves a trail after being dragged... With this level of psychic power, I can accurately control all moisture."
Seeing Delphinium still checking her clothes, Russell was a little dissatisfied: "My physical examination is much more accurate than Ampoule Biomedical's physical examination. You don't need to go for a pregnancy test, I can directly do the test for you——
The efficiency may be even higher, and the experience will definitely be much better.”
When Russell said this, he said with a wicked smile: "An Xin, I will clean you every day from now on... I have also learned to help you take a bath with one hand. The water temperature is adjustable, and you can also change it to a milk bath or a rose bath. Do you want to try it?"
?”
"Goodbye!"
The blush on Delphinium's face had not dissipated, and she begged for mercy without hesitation: "Goodbye, brother... I was wrong."
"No, it shouldn't be uncomfortable."
"It's really not uncomfortable, it's just that it feels so weird..."
The habit between them is that if Russell asks for mercy, he will call Delphinium sister, and if Delphinium asks for mercy, he will call him brother. In short, they will talk about each other without delay.
Delphinium stretched out her hand to cover her face, feeling that the temperature was still rising. Her sleeves covered half of her hands.
She looked at Russell admiring her intently, and immediately pointed at Russell in shame: "Change!"
"Change to what?"
"Become Alice!"
After Delphinium finished speaking, Russell's body transformed into Alice's appearance in a faint wave.
If you hadn't been staring, you probably wouldn't have realized when he changed his body.
Feeling the change in positions between the two sides, Delphinium grabbed Alice's legs without hesitation, dragged Alice down, who was sitting upright, and spread her legs.
Alice covered her face shyly and shouted weakly: "What are you going to do..."
"Hmph..."
Delphinium smiled proudly, and the Strelitzia reginae prosthetic body on her lower back activated itself. The metal prosthetic limb like a snake's touch came around to the front of her body, and roughly lifted up Alice's short skirt.
She pinched her throat and said in a weird voice like an old hooligan: "What do I want to do? You have to abstain from sex for the first three months, but I don't have to... What do you think? Pfft..."
As she spoke, she laughed without restraining herself for a moment.
When she lowered Alice's legs, she suddenly felt that the white silk on her palms felt quite good.
Her attention was immediately drawn away: "When did you change into white silk stockings?"
Alice, who was hiding her face in a shy manner, took away her hands with some confusion: "Didn't you change it for me?"
"Ah? When?"
"Five or six months ago...that's when I saw the sheath."
"...I seem to have an impression."
Delphinium said, casually taking off Alice's little leather boots.
She was curious and wanted to throw them away, but found that they suddenly disappeared out of thin air after leaving Alice.
"There is a loophole in your transformation, Russell."
Delphinium held Alice's feet and pointed out seriously: "Why don't you take off your clothes?"
Alice is only 1.55 meters tall, while Delphinium is 1.69 meters tall. The height advantage between them makes Alice look so petite that she can easily hold it with both feet.
Alice was a little helpless and spoke in Russell's tone: "There is no way, it is not a real 'change out of thin air'. It is just a manifestation of the mirror image. After all, it is just the scene reflected in the mirror."
...What are you doing?!"
Feeling the cold Strelitzia reginae slowly touching her thigh, Alice immediately screamed: "Do you really want to come?"
The next moment, her body suddenly distorted and changed, turning into Sailon, who was two times larger than Delphinium.
The original posture of being restrained by Delphinium turned into a posture of completely holding Delphinium in his arms.
Delphinium, who was held in Sai Lun's arms, laughed twice: "I am training your transformation speed..."
"I suspect you just have a crush on Alice."
Sai Lun hugged the delphinium and smiled softly.
The next moment, Sai Lun transformed back into Russell's true form.
The sunlight outside the window did not shine directly on them, but fell on the bedside.
Both Russell and Delphinium closed their eyes - there was no passionate kiss or expression of love, but just a quiet and warm embrace, sitting on the bed and experiencing a rare moment of leisure and relaxation.
As time passed quickly, they were almost motionless. Only the delphinium would occasionally rub Russell's neck, and Russell would gently touch the delphinium's ear with his own ear.
When the sun moved away from the bed, they opened their eyes at the same time and looked at each other.
"Speaking of which," Russell suddenly said, "do you want to go on a business trip?"
"You mean... other empty islands?"
Delphinium immediately understood what Russell meant.
Russell nodded slightly.
"Although I had expected it for a long time, I actually didn't expect you to get pregnant so early."
"I come here several times a week. I actually don't think this is a surprise..."
"Well, I know that too. So I want to take you back to Sogo Island to see Alice's grave and the place where I grew up.
"——Then, we will get engaged when we come back."
He said, reaching out to touch the delphinium's ear.
Delphinium stretched out her hand and patted Russell's hand away, then held it behind her back and intertwined her fingers.
"I don't want to get engaged. That kind of thing doesn't make any sense."
Delphinium said without hesitation: "I want to get married directly."
"good."
Russell nodded and responded seriously.
