Overturned Tower

After Delphinium rubbed her eyes for the third time, Russell took off his sunglasses and put them on for her.

Because the positions of ears in this world are different, the sunglasses are all sucked to the temple with short handles, or inserted into the hair like hairpins.

"Didn't you notice that I can only walk with my face up while wearing these sunglasses?"

Russell sighed helplessly: "This is for you, I just want to see when you ask me for..."

"I thought you thought it was cool to walk like this."

"It's really cool. If you didn't drag me, I would have hit someone twice..."

Chapter 31 Birthdays and Deaths

"Yo, here comes our busy man!"

Russell even just entered the hall with Delphinium when he heard warm voices from around him.

It was a tone that sounded sweet and warm, reminiscent of ale.It’s just that compared to the more mature and charming soft voice of malt wine, this voice is sharper, crisper and immature... If you want to compare it, it’s like the kind of anchor who “sounds very girlish and overly enthusiastic.” The business voice is average.

As far as the stranger's first reaction is concerned, it must be that the voice sounds a little bit awkward.

Russell knew, however, that her voice did.When I was in school, I was taught to "speak well" by the teacher and ridiculed by my classmates because of this... But from another perspective, many boys also think that her voice is very nice.

"Renee?"

Russell looked sideways in the direction of the voice, and saw a red-haired girl: "Why did you get down?"

She has variegated long hair mixed with white, pink, red, and a little black, and her ear feathers are also a gradient from white to red.

Although she was half a head taller than Russell, her overly thin figure and immature face made her look like a student who hadn't graduated yet.

"I'm up there."

Renee said casually, swinging the yellow sunglasses smoothly with her fingers like turning a key ring.But she didn't look at Russell, but stared at Delphinium intently.

There was a kind of enthusiasm in her eyes: "Is this... your girlfriend, Russell? She's so beautiful!"

"I already have a code name, you can call me Qun Qing."

Russell first corrected her, and then introduced her: "It's more like a fiancee than a girlfriend. Her name is Delphinium."

"Pigment? Then we are somewhat similar, and I am now called 'Cinnabar'."

Renee looked at the delphinium, a little confused: "Why is the code name for a canine animal 'finch'?"

"Uneducated, isn't it?" Russell countered on behalf of the delphinium, "Delphinium is the name of a kind of flower.

"It's you... why are you called Chensha? It can't be because you are a flamingo, right?"

"I think there is a good reason for this. Of course, the code name should be remembered as the top priority. If you have a nickname that others can't remember, it's the same as not remembering it."

Renee crossed her arms and said bluntly: "I was going to call it Flamingo directly. It's just that I took a look, and the number of people nicknamed Flamingo on Sogo Island is a little bit more... That's why I took it." It's an unpopular code name that makes people think of me at first sight.

"It's you—it's easy to be confused with people with blue hair, right? 'Who is the ultramarine'? I think your colleagues should have such questions."

Chen Sha said with a smile.

She was still watching the delphinium, and even warmly wanted to shake her hand.

But just as she stretched out her hand, Russell waved it off unceremoniously: "Don't take advantage of my wife."

Chen Sha shouted in dissatisfaction: "Oh, it's all right..."

"...she should...probably be a girl?"

Delphinium asked uncertainly.

No matter from the voice or appearance, it seems to be a girl, and she is quite beautiful.

Compared with the overly plain and almost solid-colored clothing of the people around, this Russell's high school classmate wore very conspicuous red stockings.From the deep purple near the ankles, it gradually changes to bright red, light red, pink, and white, and the top part blends with the fair to almost transparent skin.

Coupled with her white vest and shorts, plus the shawl with a circle of white fluff on the outside, and white pointed cowboy boots, this is an extremely bold, chaotic and at the same time a sense of coordination dress, it looks It's too fashionable.

Even if it is placed on Happy Island, it can still attract the attention of passers-by—not because of how beautiful it is, but because of the extreme soil.

But there is a saying that goes well, the extreme soil is tide.This weird but eye-catching outfit, coupled with her good looks and extremely confident attitude, will make passers-by think that it seems to be some kind of fashion.

It's just that her chest is too flat... plus there is the exception of Russell, who is almost exactly the same as Alice with a little dressing up, delphinium is not sure about her own judgment now.

"Indeed," Russell pouted, "but she also likes girls. Don't be fooled by her."

"... oh~"

Delphinium suddenly realized.

Although she seemed to be being watched, she was even more relieved.

——It’s okay, it’s all over.

It would be better to say this...

Because the dialogue between Chensha and Russell is too casual and natural, full of the familiarity between friends.Although Russell brought her here, it was to let Delphinium see a more comprehensive self and witness the trajectory of her previous life.But when she really saw Russell's former acquaintances, she still felt a slight sense of loneliness.

It's like seeing the Samoyed humming non-stop when the owner squats down to pet the puppy on the side of the road.

She also wanted to intervene, but she really had nothing in common with the other party, and she was so polite that she was a little distant from him.With strangers, unless necessary, she will never take the initiative to strike up a conversation with the other party.Then once the topic did not fall on her, she could only watch silently from the sidelines.

"You boy... don't talk nonsense when you go up later, I brought my girlfriend here."

Cinnamon stretched out a slender finger and warned Russell.

"Girlfriend? Or that one?"

Russell raised his eyebrows: "That black-haired, petite kitten?"

"of course not."

Chen Sha crossed her arms and said, "You're talking about Li'er? Then your version is a little behind... I've changed three of them."

"You're such a scum." Russell said disgustedly.

"This time it's different, I swear!"

Chen Sha is full of confidence: "This time I will definitely be able to talk to the end... I feel that this time she is my destined partner!"

"You say that every time."

"So once is better than once. Every time I feel 'it's her', and the next time I fall in love, I feel 'better than the ex', so I can always have love. To be honest, I always feel that I In fact, I'm quite lucky... As far as I know, after breaking up, there are more unlucky people who can't find someone better than their ex."

"People call it dedicated."

Russell complained: "Why can you always speak so lightly. After you broke up with Jacqueline, do you know how long she came to me and cried?"

"How many times have I told you?" Chen Sha waved her hand impatiently, tilting her head and said, "You were deceived by her. She wanted to use me as a springboard to get close to you from the very beginning. Didn't I give you a stone hammer every time?" Is it? I found that her motives were not pure, so I kicked her out immediately-isn't that brother enough?"

"It's not that easy to lie to me."

Russell imitated Cinnabar's appearance, crossing his arms and tilting his head: "At least from what I've seen, she must really like you."

"That's not okay. I hate people lying to me the most, especially this kind of emotional one-his grandma's, a straight girl who pretends to be close to the target's female brother to get an acquaintance relationship, and a relationship can be so messy, Why doesn't she go to the postgraduate entrance examination?"

Hearing this, the delphinium came alive.

She stretched out her hand and lightly tugged on Chensha's shawl, and said seriously: "Details."

"okay!"

Hearing the delphinium's words, Chen Sha suddenly became energetic.

When she was about to roll up her sleeves and start talking in detail, Russell interrupted: "No hurry, we'll talk when we go up.

"Stand at the door and blow the cold wind. If you're not cold, I'm still cold."

"Oh, too!"

Chensha nodded cheerfully, ran to the middle behind Russell and Delphinium, stretched out his hands to wrap their necks, pushed them to the elevator, and at the same time yelled at Russell: "I'm telling you, Russell Su. The brothers are all here today... Four or five years have passed, and there has never been such a day!

"Just now, Daben was still talking. It's rare that everyone is here today, but you are the only one missing. Then just as he finished speaking, I received a message from you here! You think it's a coincidence!"

"Why did you suddenly pick today's class reunion?"

Russell was a little curious: "Today isn't any special day...except it's my birthday the day after tomorrow. Are you guys celebrating my birthday?"

Hearing this, Chen Sha stopped suddenly.

She looked at Russell with some puzzlement, and then realized: "Oh yes, you didn't know about it...No one told you about it last year."

This time last year was when Alice was most ill.

Russell did not participate in any activities... He was so anxious that he was almost depressed.

"what's up?"

"Tomorrow last year... Or, tonight. Lykaon died. He should have been killed."

Chen Sha replied in a low voice: "Today is his death day."

When Russell heard this, his eyes slightly widened.

Chapter 32 Schools in Happy Island and Sogo Island

"How could Lycaon die..."

Russell was a little surprised: "With his character, he won't offend anyone, right?"

Looking at Delphinium's curious bright eyes, Russell introduced his classmate to her in a low voice.

"Lycaon" is a classmate of Russell and Chensha.

He has a spiritual relative of Gray Wolf, and he is a kind old man with a hunchback and thick black-rimmed glasses on weekdays.

He was tall, thinner, and perhaps handsomer.But the hair does not have any hairstyle, but it has not been washed for a long time, so it is very greasy and blocks the face.Usually he doesn't have much entertainment, just a standard Sogo Island nerd.

But when Russell chatted with him about network security knowledge, Lycaon suddenly became energetic.Even the voice became much louder... Every time the class bell rang and Russell returned to his seat, he would hold Russell's arm reluctantly, and talk non-stop from his seat to Russell's seat , Waiting for the teacher to come in before running back to his seat in despair.

Lycaon's degree of spirituality is moderate, which means that he has obvious "wolf" characteristics, but he will not lose his human form.

Unfortunately, the parts he inherited were hearing and eyesight.

This makes his hearing extremely developed, and his ears can hear frequencies up to 80k Hz, which is much stronger than the upper limit of hearing of ordinary people at 20K Hz.

At the same time, his eyesight is also different from that of normal humans. It can almost be said that he has reached the level of color blindness, and it is very difficult to see the text projected in the brain screen clearly.

For moving objects, or seeing things in the dark, they can see far more clearly than ordinary people.But if it weren't for the special pair of color-graded glasses, he might not even be able to see the traffic lights clearly... The reason why he is a little hunched and rickety is not only because his spiritual disease has transformed his spine, but also partly because of his When I was studying when I was a child, I would subconsciously push my head forward, trying to see the small words projected in my brain.

Lycaon was also a bookworm.His character is quite autistic, even if he is bullied, he won't say anything.

But at the same time, he doesn't beg for mercy... he just looks straight at people, making his heart shudder.

Therefore, he is often bullied on campus.And after being bullied, he would not tell Russell.

You must know that Russell has always been at the top of the ecological chain in the absolute "human society" of the school.Any teacher and great student are Russell's friends, and his words can be convinced by almost everyone.So whenever Russell was by Lycaon's side, nothing would happen to him—and every time Russell learned that those people bullied Lycaon again, the other party had probably been bullying him for more than a week.

And the most outrageous thing is that the people who bully him are different every time.Even if they knew that the previous one was severely punished by Russell, the next one would still be unable to resist.

Lycaon really didn't talk about life and death... Every time Russell got information, other people couldn't stand it anymore and came to him to complain.Only then did he know that Lycaon was being bullied again.

"But isn't he a wolf?"

Hearing Russell's narration, Delphinium was a little puzzled: "Having a spiritual relative like Gray Wolf, he should have strong athletic ability and fighting ability, right?"

Russell and Chen Sha looked at each other, and he explained: "Our place is not the same as Happy Island.

"On our side, there are weak relatives such as mice and rabbits who bully those students with strong physique. It is because they are strong and their relatives are fierce, so if they file a complaint, the teacher will give priority to protecting the relatives The weaker side. So they get bullied and they can't fight back.

"And... I'm not a map gun. But according to my observations, the weaker and inconspicuous the soul relatives are, the easier it is for them to lose their psychological balance and become extreme and violent. Although theoretically, the soul relatives of carnivorous animals Bloodthirsty, bloodthirsty, etc., but compared with rabbits, bats, mice, lizards, and snakes, the probability of problems is relatively low."

"It's really strange...why the weak can still bully the strong."

Delphinium still doesn't quite understand: "They don't know that they can jump countless times, but they only have one chance to fail? If they really want to fight, they will definitely not be able to beat the opponent."

"Because if you can't fight, you will never be able to fight... The crime prediction of the three sages can even predict the behavior of "I will beat you hard" among students. So we The bullying here is all about verbal attacks. No one dares to make a real move... Maybe even the first punch can't land, and the executive department has already arrived.

"But it's okay to have a bad mouth. It's also okay to secretly hide the other person's shoes, or to spread rumors about who likes whom. Generally, the most bullied are those strong people—whether they are well-educated, good-looking Beautiful or strong. The root cause is that you can't really do it.

"Of course, this also means that as long as you report to the teacher, you can easily find out the truth from the surveillance, and the bully will also be punished. But because everyone's behavior is not bad, so it will not pay too much the price.

"But those people will be excited because of it... because they think this is a kind of 'exchange'. Weak as they are, but they can deflate the strong-even if they have to pay several times the price, it is also a kind of 'victory'."

Russell sighed: "I've always felt that this is a distortion of extreme inferiority complex.

"I remember that on Happy Island, the ones who dominate the school seem to be naturally strong students like tigers and lions, right?"

"Almost, we don't have so many surveillance over there," Delphinium nodded, "but the strongest ones are not tigers and lions... but elephants and bears. I remember when I was in school, the most dignified ones in the class It was a brown bear. His spirituality had reached a severe level, except that he had a humanized expression and looked like a giant bear standing upright from a human being.
