Overturned Tower

"...Fuck you?"

"You don't really think that other directors can't see Miss Lothar's abnormality?"

Russell sighed: "Those are all old elves who have lived for more than 1000 years. In their time, history was not banned, and they even saw the stars and the sea. It seems that everyone can see that the director of the fake deer head is Fake, Lothar's abnormality is much stronger than him.

"Although she thought she was pretending well, she actually revealed her secrets a long time ago. Several directors have even asked me about my attitude on this matter. It was me, as 'Sai Lun', who suppressed this matter... Only then could she easily book a ticket and take the first-class airship to Yongquan Island.

"She is not a director of a branch company, but a resident director of the head office. A person like her cannot leave the island without any major events—the 'Big Seven' are not only companies and power organizations, but also Prison. It was the dragon who separated them from each other in order to prevent them from gathering together.

"Taking a step back, if she was able to take the airship, do you think Yongquan Island would not know about it? Would the captain and the airline dare not report the destination for such a big event? Even if I took the airboat When you come to Chongguang Island, someone will pick you up... You don't think Yongquan Island really didn't notice her passing, do you?

"I was the one who suppressed her affairs, and it was I who made the other directors turn a blind eye to it. When she wanted to go to Yongquan Island, I was the one who reported to the dragon belonging to Happy Island. She arrived at Yongquan Island I am still the one who made the request in advance that they should not come to greet me...

"It's because I know that this matter is very important to you—or to give her a reason to leave Happy Island, so I transferred you to Yongquan Island."

Russell finished the iced Coke in the glass, raised the glass, poured the ice cubes into his mouth, and chewed crunchly: "Well... If you want to say another thing, it is also to make your relationship with Strangling Can be a little closer.

"After all, you used to have enmity. Although you may not know it."

"...We have enmity?"

Knowing these secrets, the inferior man had extremely complicated emotions - he thought it was his own adventure, but it turned out that his brother was behind the scenes.

But when he heard this, he still couldn't help being stunned for a moment: "Did I hurt him before?"

"A little bit, but it's a bit more than that." Russell nodded, "His father is the leader of the Black Tiger Group. The time you wiped out his underground boxing ring...his biological mother was in that operation died in.

"But, how should I put it... His father is somewhat similar to your father, and his mother is also somewhat similar to your mother. I think it is precisely because of this reason that he has not shown any obvious hatred towards you... He may not have known it when he was an uncoded person at the beginning, but after Kamalthe died, I introduced your life experience to him.

"If you don't investigate the strangulation clearly, and don't explain your matter to him, how dare I let you, who has degraded to only two or three levels of redshift, go to the lower city to be an assassin? It's really normal to have troubles in that kind of place. Now, even I can't say anything to him. It can even be said that he doesn't even need to deliberately harm you... He just needs to be more conservative about your help, and your habit of "not being able to turn a blind eye to other people's misfortune" will Throw yourself into it.

"But even if he knows that you are the same kind, he must still be upset with you."

Russell sighed: "Now, you have finally woken up. You who understand what love is, you will naturally start to protect yourself... All rational people are like a knife full of sharp edges. Let the people who use it In the end, no one can hold you firmly. But if you are still a knife, you will lose your own value.

"And now, you have your own handle. The name of this handle is love.

"You care about Miss Lothar... because of this, you can not put yourself in danger at will. The self-destructive desire in your heart, the self-sacrifice instinct will retreat. You really have something you care about. People... only your spiritual power can break through.

"I need you, Wolf Words. In my plan, you are a vital part. But what I need is a stronger you... I can wait a long time for this. In this process, I will help you Prepare a strong handle, a beautiful sheath, and sharpen your blade.

"Will you be unhappy about it, Wolfword? Because I'm going to use you?"

"...No, I am grateful to you. If you don't say it, I don't know what you have done..."

It is extremely rare that Langyan spoke the truth in front of Russell for the first time, instead of his aggressive sharp comments like a rebellious boy or a hedgehog.

But after that, he was silent for a while.

He stood up suddenly, catching the eyes of Russell and Delphinium.

"what happened?"

"If you have time, can you come with me to Yongquan Island now?"

Langyan said in a deep voice: "I want to apologize to Strangling, not only because I did bad things to him in the past, but also because I said some bad things not long ago. I want you to be a witness. And There is an extremely rare sight, and I want you to see it with your own eyes.

"—I want to introduce you to someone named Mahavira."

It seemed that Russell didn't know what happened to Strangling.

I can't be the only one being laughed at...and blessed.He deserves it too.

Chapter 96 Think about what Russell would do

Because Russell was going to Yongquan Island tonight to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the monkey-faced eagle.

So after hearing Wolf Word's request, Russell thought for a while.

"Good strategy, but I want to make some adjustments."

"what?"

"No, nothing. It's just that delphinium and I have something to do now..."

Russell said with a chuckle, and glanced at the delphinium sitting aside.

The delphinium noticed Russell's gaze, she smiled and lowered her head on the table, and tilted her head to look at Russell.One of her ears stood up and the other drooped, and the raised ear trembled slightly.

Seeing her reaction, Lang Yan frowned slightly, but hesitated to speak: "Are you... planning to meet your parents?"

"I'm an orphan."

Russell replied without hesitation: "There are no parents who can take Flotie to meet."

Although the sheath is not dead yet, it will be sooner or later.So it can also be counted as dead in advance.

"...Flotie?"

Langyan froze for a moment before realizing that he was referring to the delphinium.

His expression was a little subtle: "Have you all reached the point of exchanging real names?"

According to the customs of Happy Island, it is basically family members who exchange their real names... because the code name symbolizes the other party's entire social identity, and calling the real name is to get rid of this social identity.So calling one's real name is quite rude...it can be used as a derogatory term, or between close brothers, roughly similar to someone's nickname; and calling each other's real name between lovers , generally speaking, it is not much different from calling "wife" directly.

Although the delphinium is often called "Russell" instead of "Ultramarine", this is the first time that Russell has called the delphinium Flotie in front of inferiors.

This means a change of attitude - which can be more credible than their official announcement in front of the camera.

"We are already planning to get married, and we will get engaged tomorrow. This time, we plan to meet Russell's mentor."

Delphinium explained: "For Russell, he is the closest to him among Russell's elders who are still alive."

——I also have to confirm for myself whether there is any threat to myself.

She added in her mind.

After all, she was quite a famous elf beauty.Under the blessing of immortality, the passing time can be turned into charm.Not to mention, when she came into contact with Russell, Russell hadn't awakened the memory of his previous life... For real young people, such a beautiful, intimate and reliable elder is very difficult to forget.

And if she is not the enemy, then Delphinium must thank her sincerely.

It's not just the kindness of taking good care of Russell... The reason why Russell is the current Russell is also related to her decision to pull Russell into this world.

Today's delphinium has fully known all of Russell's secrets.The Russell she fell in love with was the one who became mature, gentle and somewhat magical after awakening the memory of his previous life.It's not entirely the naughty genius who still has the characteristics and instincts of beasts, and is as vigilant as a cat.

If Director Sally Ruth hadn't pulled Russell into this world, then they would never have met in this life—no matter what kind of fate they had, they would never have met again.

"...Oh, then congratulations, both of you."

Lang Yan seemed uninterested: "If that mentor is an elf, I won't go."

"Do you still hate elves?"

Russell smiled and said, "What about Miss Lothar?"

"'For the sake of our mutual naming, can you call me Mama?'"

The delphinium at the side held his hands in front of his chest, reciting emotionally.

Lang Yan scratched his head vigorously, and became angry from embarrassment: "Okay, let me go with you!"

Amid the laughter of Russell and Delphinium, the three of them boarded the floating car that automatically stopped at the door.

Soon, they arrived at Sogo University.

That is the very center of Sogo Island, clustered around the tower, the three buildings that bend like sharp claws.

Their shells are like mirrors, reflecting a dazzling iridescent light outward.But after getting closer, the rainbow light will magically turn into an overwhelming, ocean-like white light.And let the white tower in the middle as the "core" shine with silvery white brilliance.

And these three continuously shining buildings belong to Sogo University.

"I thought it was the house of Sogo Group."

Delphinium looked at this sacred and amazing beauty...then couldn't help rubbing her eyes: "I remember you said that they belong to Sogo Group."

"It is true. Because Sogo Group and Sogo University are next to each other... Sogo Group is relatively outside, while Sogo University is relatively inside. Although I think it is because it will be more troublesome for college students to go out...but it is still There is a moral. It is that 'ignorant teenagers are closer to God than adults' because they have more possibilities."

Russell introduced his hometown with some nostalgia.

"Sogo Island is similar but different from Sun Island. Although Sun Island also values ​​education, what they need most is 'top scholars'. The school is just a screening and nurturing institution. But it is different in Sogo Island..."

The floating car began to slow down after approaching Sogo University, and the various temples and statues all over the bottom became clearly visible.Passers-by were praising the gods, and the hymns echoed in the sky with the sound of praise.

Russell's deep voice, mixed in the praise, was like a prayer:

"On Sogo Island, education itself is a kind of 'religion'. It is a ritual of 'turning people into gods', a sacred ritual for people to obtain what they will have but not have, and to eradicate their own vicious roots. ritual.

"Through knowledge, education, wisdom and love, people are transformed from imperfection to perfection. This process itself is sacred...and people learn knowledge, cultivate friendship, and obtain future possibilities from here. This process is also enough to move people of.

"The 'brightness' respected by Chongguang Island is the light of truth, goodness and beauty. Acquiring knowledge itself is true, and it is also good at the same time, and the order it has is beautiful. In other words, this is the most respected light in Chongguang Island The light of light...gets the possibility of the future, abandons ignorance, breaks darkness, and brings light."

"...However, this lighthouse that constantly sings about the light is precisely built among a group of statues and temples."

Langyan sneered habitually: "I don't feel that those beliefs have any light at all, they are all just self-deception. I just find this scene ironic and ridiculous."

Although he restrained himself a bit now, he just couldn't get used to this kind of thing.He has always been straightforward.

"Indeed."

Russell nodded and sighed: "Because Sogo Island is always a small number of people's Sogo Island.

"'Light' is closely related to 'talent'. There are always very few people who can climb the Tongtian Tower named 'talent' and walk towards a higher place of light. Respecting the purest light of truth, goodness and beauty is also It also means turning away from the majority who live in the shadows... those who cannot pursue the light.

"Everyone has his own world that he regards as the truth, and also has his own concept of good and evil and personal aesthetics. In the final analysis, this is something that cannot be unified. To put it another way, it is obvious that the data is big. Most people regard it as truth, goodness and beauty, but because of the intermediary of the "Three Sages", it is not recognized by anyone. This is a kind of paradox.

"These gods are the light revered by mortals. They are different, from different ancient cultures, or maybe they are processed and imagined by pure modern culture. They don't have any sacredness, and they can't grant others the power of holy orders . . . just have a certain homely morality.

"Those 'lights' that could not be absorbed by the Sogo Group or the Cyber ​​Church were scattered all over the place. They became such ignorant, abstract, half-baked things."

Russell looked at the passers-by who were as small as ants and solemnly worshiped the statue, and said softly: "But I still think this is a good thing.

"No matter how stupid the truth is, it is better than the overflowing lies and deceit; no matter how abstract goodness is, it is better than the evil that cannot be restrained; no matter how half-baked beauty is, it is better than the ugliness that is admired. Compared with the pure and flawless, The pure light beyond reproach, I prefer to believe in the small, less charming, and less shocking personal goodness that comes from every mortal."

Just like Russell's conversation with the Pope.

Russell preferred mortal possibility to saintly self-sacrifice.

Because the good of "human beings as a whole" cannot be higher than the sum of the simple sum of "everyone's good"—the ultimate and absolutely rational good is not higher than the universal good.

"...You still believe in such things."

Lang Yan's expression was a bit complicated: "I have always felt that there is no possibility of saving human beings. Looking around, everyone is ugly... Even the real God may not be able to save this sinful world. He may You can destroy this world, push it down and start over, but you can't wash away the sins in everyone's heart."

"How do you know that this world has never been destroyed by God?"

Russell sighed casually.

And when he finished speaking, Beauty God suddenly interrupted: "Here we are, Russell. Do you want me to inform Sally Ruth?"

"Ah, I'll trouble you then."

Russell nodded his thanks.

This was Sally Ruth's laboratory—and she used to call it a workshop.

The decoration here is extraordinarily luxurious.Not just to the extent of "everything that one expects to find", but like a palace - with a feudal atmosphere.Compared with a pure research institution, it is more like "a personal residence built by a very wealthy and prestigious researcher as he pleases".

It is not a "research institute where people can live and eat", but a "luxury villa where all research work can be carried out".

There is no one here.

After they walked into the house, a pixelated white arrow appeared on the black transparent floor, guiding them to their destination.

The surrounding walls, as they advance, gradually reveal comical welcome special effects and canned applause, seeming to be lively.Delphinium and Langyan didn't respond, but Russell couldn't hold back.

"tutor!"

He raised his head and reprimanded loudly: "Don't be so embarrassing!"

After Russell finished speaking, those strange welcome special effects disappeared immediately.

There was only a small pixel man in a red dress who covered his face with a folding fan, bowed to them, and said "I'm sorry" like a special effect of a middle-aged emoji.

When Russell walked to the place, he saw Sally Ruth with a smile on her face.

Dressed in a gorgeous crimson gown that could go to any gala, covered in expensive and gorgeous jewelry.But even those jewels are overwhelmed by her beauty, giving people a feeling of "not worthy of her".

The first time I saw her, both Langyan and Delphinium were shocked by her beauty beyond human intelligence.

They all had a strange illusion—the long golden hair hanging like the most beautiful satin, under the warm light, seemed to be twitching and wriggling like a living thing.It's like some kind of visual error image, which is obviously static, but gives people a feeling of slow movement.

The two seemed to be petrified by Medusa in an instant.But Russell just sighed helplessly at this unusually familiar development.

"Aren't you restrained, mentor?"

"Rather than restraining yourself, it's better to say that it's better for them?"
