Overturned Tower

"……Well."

Delphinium covered her forehead and opened her eyes from the soft bed.

She sniffed almost instinctively and smelled Russell's scent from under the quilt, and then she felt a little relieved.

She rubbed her temples, which were still aching, and climbed out of the quilt. Only then did she realize that she was wearing women's pajamas of a style she had never seen before.

Delphinium stretched out her hand to grab the collar of her pajamas and sniffed it gently, but could not detect the scent of anyone else.

Then she lazily got up and looked around.

This room is not too big, it can even be considered small. It was probably only a little over ten feet tall, similar to where Delphinium lived when she was a child.

The decoration is in wooden style, with a large bed, a clothes rack and a large wardrobe. There is also a round small dining table, and there are two high round stools next to the dining table...the kind of chairs used in bars or barber shops that can be stepped on.

In the corner of the room, there is a "table" that is obviously more technological than the entire room. It looks like some kind of touch screen, and it has a base that can be raised, lowered and adjusted. There are several data interfaces on the side, and there is a small cabinet next to it with various drawing tools on it.

Other than that, there are only some lockers in this room. There is no refrigerator or microwave, and there are no pots or stoves.

Seeing that her clothes were hanging on the hanger nearby, Delphinium went over to take off her pajamas and put her clothes back on.

As she opened the curtains, it was still dark outside the window. The pale golden morning light lit up in the distance.

The light was not dazzling, but she subconsciously squinted her eyes.

"...It's morning."

Delphinium murmured softly.

She glanced at the clock in the upper right corner and saw that the current time was 5:25.

Only then did I realize that I had spent a dreamless night.

She obviously arrived at Sogo Island with Russell at noon, but now the time has returned to morning.

"Have I slept for so long..."

In other words, didn’t you eat lunch or dinner yesterday?

I just slept for sixteen or seventeen hours...

Thinking of this, Delphinium felt a little hungry.

She was also a little worried about where Russell had gone. She could obviously smell Russell's scent from inside her quilt, but it was only five o'clock - according to Russell's schedule, he would never wake up at this time.

...It would be better to say that without his own supervision, he might not even be asleep.

For cats, night is the most energetic time.

As the saying goes, if you don't bother the cat during the day, the cat will bother you at night... Delphinium also understands this very well.

Every time she felt sleepy and wanted to sleep, Russell was in full swing of energy.

On the other hand, during the day, I often curl up into a ball to catch up on sleep. At this time, Delphinium will use various means to wake him up again. Only when Russell was so sleepy during the day that the cat nodded, he could sleep obediently as soon as he was covered with a quilt at night.

Thinking that Russell had probably been high all night, and then planned to go back to catch up on some sleep during the day, Delphinium felt her fist harden.

——You promised to take me back to your hometown for a walk? !

But at this moment, the door was suddenly opened.

Delphinium was a little wary, but turned back very quietly.

I found that it was a girl with long light pink hair, pink eyes that gradually shimmered like gems, and a soft appearance.

——She has no spiritual characteristics on her body!

But Delphinium soon saw the "mold fitting line" that was not obvious but did exist on her body, and recognized her identity.

This is a servitor.

As far as current technology is concerned, it has long been possible to create "seamless servitors". However, according to the rules of Sogo Island, the servitor must have obvious features such as heat dissipation holes, mold closing lines, data interfaces, indicator lights, digital numbers, barcodes or QR codes on the body surface, or use mechanical synthetic sounds to Indicate your identity as a servitor.

The unauthorized creation of "characterless servitors" is a serious violation of consensus and is a taboo on Sogo Island.

Although Delphinium has never seen a real servitor so far. But she had already heard Russell talk a lot yesterday when she was on the road.

"You're awake, Miss Delphinium."

The servitor was not surprised to see Delphinium waking up.

She just folded her hands in front of her and bowed slightly to Delphinium respectfully: "You can call me 'Xi'."

"...then, is it okay, Xiaoxi?"

"As you wish."

Xi nodded and smiled gently.

A burst of blue light flashed in her pink pupils, and Delphinium's VIP-level personal defense immediately caused a red light representing "danger" to flash in her field of vision.

It reminded her that she had been scanned by others without authorization, and the "Xi" of the scanner was also highlighted in red in the field of view.

Delphinium casually gave Xi a "general visitor" level authorization and canceled the warning.

But she still looked at the other party with some confusion, waiting for the other party's explanation.

Xiao Xi's face showed a true apology: "I'm very sorry, Miss Delphinium. Mr. Ultramarine told us that after you wake up, you will conduct a body scan and send the results to him.

"I noticed that you haven't eaten for more than eighteen hours. I can help you prepare some food here. Do you have any preferences on weekdays?"

"As long as it's healthy... Can I have something hot and something to drink?"

Delphinium hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Luo... I mean, where is Ultramarine?"

"Mr. Ultramarine is downstairs."

Xi politely replied: "Do you need me to call Mr. Ultramarine up?"

"Ah, that's not necessary... I'll go down and take a look."

"Then breakfast is chicken and straw mushroom porridge with steamed buns, okay?"

"...What are the fillings of the buns?"

Delphinium asked curiously.

Her mother is from Taoyuan Island, and she often ate "baozi" when she was a child. But generally speaking, fried chicken, pan-fried steak and roasted pork knuckle are more popular on Happy Island. This was also the first time she ate steamed buns at a place other than her own home.

"Diced pork with leeks, beef with carrots, eggs, and diced pork with vermicelli and tofu sauce."

Xi replied without hesitation: "If you can wait a little longer, we can prepare other food for you."

"Ah, no need...this breakfast is very good. The buns aren't too big, are they?"

"The specification is twenty-two pieces per catty."

"It sounds like it's quite small..."

But in fact, Delphinium, who usually calls her mother with her eyes closed at home to wait for the meal, doesn't know how much the steamed buns she usually eats are.

She felt the hunger in her belly and gained greater confidence.

So Delphinium whispered: "Can you get me... twenty? Any flavor is fine. Don't worry about wasting it. If you can't eat it, I will eat it at noon."

"Okay. I will send the food here later. If the food is cold, please call me and I will heat or replace the food for you."

The pink-haired servitor said softly.

She turned around and opened the door, standing by the door with her head bowed respectfully.

Delphinium was stunned for a moment, and realized that she was letting herself go first.

In order to prevent Miss Servant from standing like this for too long, she quickly ran two steps to the door and whispered "Thank you" when passing by Xiao Xi.

As expected, Xiao Xi followed her and closed the door. Then she reached out and touched the electronic lock in front of the door, and a red light flashed in her eyes.

"The key has been added for you," Xiao Xi's gentle voice came from behind Delphinium, "You can then open the door by touching it."

She pointed to the left: "You can go downstairs from there. You can see Mr. Ultramarine and the boss as soon as you go downstairs."

"Thank you." Delphinium nodded quickly and thanked her again.

"You're welcome."

Xiao Xi responded, and then left to the other side with brisk steps.

Only then did Delphinium take the time to look at its surroundings...

This doesn't feel like an apartment.

The surrounding environment looks a bit shabby, and the walls are without any decoration or wallpaper, just painted white. The doors are all black with certified locks, and there are still some dust and traces of chalk scrawls on the doors.

Delphinium subconsciously slowed down its steps and raised its furry ears, but did not hear any sound.

It seems that there are no other residents on the second floor here?

——Speaking of which, where is this place?

With this doubt in mind, Delphinium carefully walked down the old-fashioned stairs filled with dust and cement steps.
