Delta: Taming wheat in a dream, I, Said

"Agent?" Luna tilted her head, revealing natural confusion. "What agent?"

Mai Xiaowen's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition surged up. "It's... the subspace, oh no, it's that people in the inner world choose people in the outer world as agents for another world, so that they can learn about the other world through this method."

"That agent can inherit the abilities of characters from the other world..."

"Impossible." Before Mai Xiaowen could finish speaking, Luna interrupted her directly, her eyes revealing an undeniable certainty.

"An agent inheriting the abilities of characters in the other world? That's impossible. If the abilities are truly identical, it can only mean one thing: they are each other's counterparts."

"A counterpart to each other?" Mai Xiaowen murmured softly, subconsciously explaining, "But Said has an agent in reality, and he can obtain real-world information through the agent. Moreover, the agent possesses Said's skin and skills."

She felt a sudden panic for no reason, and she didn't even realize that she had described the real world as reality again.

"What did you say?" Luna's expression immediately turned serious. "There's someone in the real world who has the Said skin? And has the same skills?"

"Yes, all under the command of the commander. Alara Hunter, Extreme Roll, Flame Arrow..." Mai Xiaowen clenched the hem of her clothes, and the stray hairs in front of her eyes obscured her vision, making it impossible to see her expression.

Luna fell into thought, resting her chin on her hand as she lingered in front of Mai Xiaowen.

Judging from Mai Xiaowen's expression, she doesn't seem to be lying, but how could that be?

How could there be such an absurd notion as an agent?

After a long pause, she stopped and asked seriously, "Are you sure this so-called agent has Said's skin and can communicate with Said? Have you confirmed this with Said?"

"I'm not sure..." Mai Xiaowen murmured softly, "He's the one who told me the word 'agent,' and everything I've said is just what he told me unilaterally..."

"He lied to you," Luna said calmly.

Mai Xiaowen raised her head blankly and met those light brown eyes.

"I don't know anything about agents or not, but you said that person has Said's skin, which means that the person you are referring to must be Said's counterpart."

"And between isotopes, it is 100% certain that they cannot be spoken of, cannot be seen, and cannot intersect."

Not to mention the possibility of exchanging information and gathering intelligence.

Your friend lied to you about this.

Mai Xiaowen gritted her teeth, feeling incredibly cold... This wasn't because she was dressed too lightly, but because her heart was ice-cold.

Bai Kang... deceived himself.

But...why?

Why deceive yourself by saying you are Saeed's agent?

This is simply incomprehensible. He could have answered her questions with all sorts of other reasons, or even not answered them at all. Why would he deceive her with the false lies of an agent?

What is the purpose?

If, as Luna says, Bai Kang and Said are isotopes of each other, then why does Bai Kang say that he can interact with Said?

There is only one reason: Bai Kang was unaware that isotopes cannot be spoken of, seen, or interact with each other, which is why he used this flimsy excuse to deceive her.

But we're back to that same question.

Why did Bai Kang deceive her?

Could it be that Bai Kang was unaware of the concept of isotopes, yet he was still able to communicate with Said in some form?

If that's the case, then it makes sense that Bai Kang used this flawed excuse to deceive him.

But we've come full circle back to the most fundamental question.

Why did Bai Kang lie to her?!

Mai Xiaowen felt like she was going crazy. She seemed to have grasped something, but she was always just a little short of it. She just couldn't find that thread that could determine everything.

"Luna!" Mai Xiaowen growled, biting her lip. Her beautiful black eyes seemed even darker. "If your friend lied to you about something extremely important, what reason would drive him to lie?"

Luna spoke calmly, "If it were me, I would only lie if the matter would have unbearable consequences."

Mai Xiaowen closed her eyes.

This could lead to unbearable consequences...

At that moment, Luna suddenly thought of something, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She wondered, could it be someone else? After a moment's hesitation, she asked tentatively:

"Mai Xiaowen, based on what you said above, there is actually another possibility, but that is just a guess and we have not verified it yet."

"What?"

"A person destined for solitude, whose days and nights are reversed, wanders between two worlds."

"What do you mean?"

Luna took a deep breath and slowly said, "Actually, the encrypted file only had two sentences. This sentence is the second sentence in the encrypted file, and we also couldn't figure it out."

The first sentence of the document reads: "Those who share a common destiny are worlds apart, yet their lives cannot be intertwined."

Regarding the first sentence, we have already determined that those who share a common destiny refer to those who are in the same position. Those who are in the same position are the most familiar strangers, who cannot speak, cannot see, and cannot have any interaction.

Regarding the second statement, our initial assessment was that there exists a certain type of person who can exist in a world separate from the real world.

We've never met anyone like that, but after listening to your story, I suddenly had an idea: perhaps we've been looking in the wrong direction all along.

Or rather, we've overlooked a crucial point: what role does the reversal of day and night play in this statement?

Mai Xiaowen's body stiffened, and she instinctively hugged herself, stammering, "What do you want to say?"

Luna said in a deep voice, "We have searched for people who can freely travel between the two worlds, but we have never found anyone."

I think we might be oversimplifying things. The word "游" (yóu, meaning to travel or wander) is very interesting. Why not "行" (xíng, meaning to walk or travel through) or "穿" (chuān, meaning to pass through)? Instead, it means "游" (yóu, meaning to travel or wander).

Is it possible that this doesn't refer to simple physical travel, but rather to another form—perhaps memory, or perhaps the soul? Drifting between two worlds in this unique way.

Mai Xiaowen closed her eyes, and a tear rolled down her cheek.

Luna's words filled in a crucial gap in all her doubts.

It is neither the physical body, nor memory, nor the soul.

Based on this point, Luna perfectly explains why Bai Kang lied to her about the isotope issue.

Because Bai Kang was unaware that isotopes cannot communicate with each other in any way. He simply fabricated this flawed lie based on his own experience.

Bai Kang came to the aerospace base with her, and then Bai Kang was taken away by the secretary. She met Said in the president's office.

During this process, she did not see Bai Kang come to the president's office, and this "alibi" made her deny the possibility that Bai Kang was Said.

However, she overlooked one issue: if Said was staying in the CEO's office, why make them wait in the lobby?

Based on what Luna just said.

One possibility is that it fits the above scenario.

That was during the time when Bai Kang was away, when Said had to stay in the president's office for some reason.

Add to all the previous doubts and questions.

It seems that there is only one unique solution that can explain everything.

That is:

Bai Kang is a solitary man who wanders between the two worlds.

Bai Kang is... Said.
