Bai Xiu waited patiently outside the golden illusion.
After a moment.
Alf slowly drifted out from the ripples of the illusion, and the human and the machine stared at each other across the distance for several minutes.
Bai Xiu didn't ask Alf what he saw or heard.
He never liked prying into other people's "privacy."
The story of Alfred was something he only vaguely heard from Gu Shen... An AI left behind by its master during the Starship Civilization era, guarding this starship silently for nearly a thousand years.
Even though he only heard a small part.
But that small part was enough to make one feel lonely.
For so many years.
Alf had never stepped into the realm of the Lord of Love, not because the pressure of that area was too strong.
Perhaps...
He was worried about what he was guarding.
Just a dream, shattered at a touch, and utterly meaningless.
After a long while, Bai Xiu spoke.
"Did you... meet the Lord of Love?"
Alf lightly hmmed.
