Delta: Taming wheat in a dream, I, Said

"So, where is this place?"

Getting up from Mai Xiaowen's lap as a pillow, Bai Kang looked around and found the surroundings to be quite desolate, with a large highway in the distance.

"Near the nuclear power plant," Silverwing explained. "This is the exit point for subspace."

"It looks quite ordinary. Wasn't it said that there were operators stationed in the subspace?" Bai Kang surveyed the area, which was just a desolate wasteland. Apart from the highway in the distance, there were almost no signs of human activity.

Silverwing smiled and said, "You'll find out soon enough about that."

After speaking, he paused, staring intently at Bai Kang, "Compared to that, I'm more curious about why you fainted when you entered the subspace. This has never happened before."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes fell on Bai Kang, including Mai Xiaowen, who had always been worried about him.

Bai Kang remained silent, thinking to himself, "Would you believe me if I said I switched to the wrong account? I accidentally switched to the larger account."

Of course, this reason cannot be given; Said is his biggest secret, and revealing it would cause a lot of trouble.

Finally, he shook his head and said, "I don't know. I woke up to find you all surrounding me."

Silverwing gave Bai Kang a deep look. He had caught the look of relief in Bai Kang's eyes when he woke up. Normally, one should be confused when waking up from a coma, but relief... was obviously not normal.

He knew Bai Kang was lying, but he didn't press the matter. Everyone has secrets, and as long as they are generally consistent, he wouldn't pursue the matter.

Everyone present shared the same goal: to achieve their objective.

Mai Xiaowen's eyes were vacant, her thoughts wandering. She seemed unaware when Bai Kang got up from her lap, because she had also been acting strangely since entering the subspace. To be precise, it was the bond between her and Said that was acting strangely.

Previous simple interactions with Bai Kang, such as holding hands, would increase the intimacy level by +1.

However, after entering the subspace, the intimacy value increased by +2+2 in the lap pillow, doubling the speed of increase!

This is clearly not normal.

The problem lies either with her or with Bai Kang.

Upon entering the subspace, she did nothing, yet Bai Kang inexplicably fell into a coma. Statistically speaking, the problem likely lies with Bai Kang.

It was only then that Mai Xiaowen suddenly realized a problem she had been ignoring and avoiding all along.

Without a doubt, Said's bond stems from what happened at the space base, and she can't escape the man she hates to the core.

So,

Will the chosen one who triggers the [Saiid's Bond] appear in reality, or... why is it Bai Kang?

Because Bai Kang has the Said skin? That's a reasonable reason.

But why does Bai Kang have Said's skin? And why does he have a skin right after awakening?

A stroke of good fortune? That's a rough explanation.

Another point,

As far as Mai Xiaowen knows, each person's skills are not unique. For example, many people have awakened her Data Throwing Knife. Perhaps the cooldown and damage are different, but in essence, it is still Data Throwing Knife.

Her flashbangs, concealed silencers, and signal decryption devices.

Each individual skill can be awakened by others, and some people even awaken two, three, or even four of the same skills as her.

The only differences are skill damage, range, duration, and so on.

However, it seems that no one else has awakened a similar skill to Bai Kang; the only skill that can be described as similar is rolling.

Things like fire crossbows, summoning Asara's minions, and pinpointing enemy locations through Asara's faction... no one awakens anything like that!

this means,

Bai Kang's set of skills, identical to those of Said, is unique.

Doesn't that also illustrate a point?

Bai Kang has some unknown relationship with Said from the space base.

This thought spread rapidly through Mai Xiaowen's mind like a wildly growing vine. Perhaps she had thought of these things long ago, but subconsciously she had always been avoiding the issue; she was afraid.

Details from the past began to swirl and surface in my mind.

They first met at Dam Zero, and Bai Kang felt guilty towards her; Bai Kang gave her the Mandel supercomputing unit and the Heart of Africa; Bai Kang previously questioned her about how much he wanted to kill Said; Bai Kang inexplicably fell into a coma upon entering subspace...

These seemingly innocuous details, yet appearing in the same person, resurfaced in her memory.

Individually, there is nothing unusual about it.

But this person is Bai Kang, the Bai Kang with the Said skin and skills!

As these details accumulate little by little...

Everything, with the abnormal doubling of intimacy value in the subspace, finally broke through the critical point in Mai Xiaowen's heart!

A feeling of suffocation washed over her. She could no longer deceive herself; she could no longer deceive herself that Bai Kang and Said had no relationship whatsoever.

"I think it might be the person you fell in love with at first sight." The answer Zoash gave when she asked him who the chosen one was quietly echoing in her mind.

Mai Xiaowen felt as if she were standing on the edge of an abyss.

"Wheat, what's wrong? Your lips are so pale, and you're trembling!"

Bai Kang's voice rang in her ears. Mai Xiaowen looked up blankly and met his caring eyes.

How beautiful those black gemstone-like eyes are, how overflowing with concern they convey!

Yes, the boy she liked also liked her. Their teamwork in dungeons and their everyday moments together were all true.

How could she possibly doubt this boy?

She felt she was probably sick, as she had the idea that the boy she loved and the bastard she hated were the same person.

"You..." She moved her pale lips, as if she wanted to ask something, but when she met those eyes, she couldn't say anything.

What else could she ask?

What is your relationship with Saeed?

Are you Sayyid?

She couldn't bring herself to say it, nor did she dare to listen.

In the end, she said nothing, and shook her head weakly, "I'm just not feeling well."

After saying that, she broke free from Bai Kang's grasp, lowered her eyes, and came to Zoya's side. She silently took Zoya's hand and stopped looking at Bai Kang.

Bai Kang stared blankly at his empty palm, not understanding what was wrong with Xiaomai.

Zoya glanced suspiciously at Mai Xiaowen, whose eyes were lowered. She felt that Xiaowen was gripping her hand so tightly that it hurt.

She was about to speak when she noticed Xiaomai's trembling eyelashes and fell silent.

The wheat... is afraid.

But everything was fine when we entered the subspace, so why did it suddenly change?

After a moment of silence, Zoya spoke up: "Uncle Silverwing, lead the way."

Her voice had lost its usual vibrancy and sounded quite deep.

Silverwing glanced at Mai Xiaowen and nodded:

"Okay, let's go, I'll take you to the camp."
