Overturned Tower

Why does the psionic energy with such a name strengthen the blue shift of others and strengthen the belief of others...

When the perspective is beyond the mortal, beyond the individual, beyond the collective... When breaking free from the body called the individual, crossing the wall of Leviathan and entering the sea of ​​group subconscious——

That love for the "collective" is undoubtedly fatal...

The next moment, Russell suddenly reached out and knocked Delphinium unconscious.

She lost consciousness in an instant.

Chapter No.17 Servant "Xi"

"……Well."

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

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

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

Delphinium reached out and grabbed the collar of the pajamas, and sniffed lightly, but she didn't smell anyone else's scent from it.

She got up lazily and looked around.

This room is not too big, it can even be considered small.Probably only in his early tenth year, which is similar to the place where delphinium lived when he was a child.

The decoration is in a wooden style, with a large bed, a hanger, and a large wardrobe.There is also a small round dining table, and there are two tall stools beside the dining table...the kind of chairs that can be stepped on in bars or barbershops.

In the corner of the room, there is also a "desk" that is obviously more technological than the whole room.It looks like some kind of touchscreen, and it has a base that can be raised and lowered and angled.There are several data interfaces on the side of it, and there is a small cabinet next to it, and various drawing tools are placed on it.

In addition, there are only a few lockers in this room.There is no refrigerator, no microwave oven, and no pots and stoves.

Seeing her clothes hanging on the hanger next to her, Delphinium took off her pajamas and changed her clothes back.

As she opened the curtains, it was still a little dark outside the window.The light golden morning light shines 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 it was 5:25.

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

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

"Have I been asleep for so long..."

In other words, did I not eat lunch and dinner yesterday?

Just slept for sixteen or seventeen hours...

Thinking of this, Delphinium felt a little hungry.

She was also a little worried about where Russell went.She could clearly smell Russell's smell from her quilt, but it was only five o'clock - according to Russell's schedule, he would never wake up at this hour.

... Or rather, without his own supervision, he might not even be asleep.

For cats, night is the most energetic time.

The so-called do not boil cats during the day, but cats boil people at night... Delphinium also has a deep understanding of this.

Every time she felt sleepy and drowsy, Russell was in the moment of energy and was entangled tightly.

During the day, however, I often curl up into a ball to catch up on sleep.And at this time, Delphinium will use various methods to wake him up again.Only when Russell is so sleepy during the day that the cat nods his head, can he go to sleep obediently at night with the quilt covered.

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

——What about taking me back to my hometown for a stroll? !

But at this moment, the door was suddenly opened.

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

It was found to be a soft-looking girl with long light pink hair and pink pupils that shone like jewels.

——She doesn't have the characteristics of spiritual relatives on her body!

But delphinium quickly saw the "parting line" that was not obvious but did exist in her, and recognized her identity.

This is a servitor.

As far as the current technology is concerned, it has long been possible to make a "seamless machine servant".However, according to the rules of Sogo Island, the machine servant must arrange obvious features such as cooling holes, mold line, data interface, indicator light, number number, bar code or QR code on the body surface, or use synthetic sounds with a mechanical sense, so as to Show your identity as a machine servant.

The unauthorized manufacture of "non-featured servitors" is a serious violation of consensus, and it is a taboo on Sogo Island.

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

"You're awake, Miss Delphinium."

The servitor was not surprised to see Delphinium wake up.

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

"...Then, can Xiaoxi do it?"

"As you wish."

Xi nodded, smiling softly.

There was a flash of blue light in her pink pupils, and delphinium's VIP-level personal barrier immediately caused a red light representing "danger" to flash in her vision.

It reminds her that she was scanned by others without authorization, and the scanner's "Xi" is also highlighted in red in the field of vision.

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

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

Xiao Xi's face was genuinely apologetic: "I'm very sorry, Miss Delphinium. Mr. Qunqing told us to take a body scan after you wake up and send the results to him.

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

"It's better to be healthy...can I have something hot and drinkable?"

Delphinium hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Luo...I mean, where is Qunqing?"

"Mr. Qunqing is downstairs."

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

"Ah, then there's no need... I'll go down and have a look."

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

"...What's the stuffing of the buns?"

Delphinium asked curiously.

Her mother is from Taoyuan Island, and she often ate "baozi" when she was a child.It’s just that generally speaking, fried chicken, fried steak and roasted pork knuckle are more popular in Happy Island, and it’s the first time she eats steamed stuffed buns outside of her own home.

"Diced pork with leeks, beef with carrot and egg, diced pork with vermicelli and tofu sauce."

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

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

"The specification of 22 pieces per catty."

"Sounds like a small..."

But in fact, delphiniums who are usually at home with their eyes closed and calling their mother to wait for their meal don't know how much the buns they usually eat are.

She felt the hunger in her belly, and she had higher self-confidence in her heart.

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

"Okay. I'll send the food here later. Call me if the food gets cold and I'll heat it up or change it for you."

The pink-haired servitor spoke softly.

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

Delphinium froze for a moment, and realized that she was being asked to go first.

In order not to let Miss Machine Servant stand by the door like this for too long, she quickly trotted two steps, jumped to the door, and whispered "thank you" when passing by Xiaoxi.

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

"A key has been added for you," Xiaoxi said softly behind Delphinium, "after you touch the door, you can open it."

She pointed to the left side: "You can go downstairs from there. You can see Mr. Qunqing and the boss when you go downstairs."

"Thank you." Delphinium nodded hastily, and thanked again.

"You're welcome."

Xiaoxi agreed, and then briskly left towards the other side.

It was only then that Delphinium was able to take a leisurely look at the surrounding environment...

It's not like an apartment here.

The surrounding environment looks a bit dilapidated, and the walls are just whitewashed without any decoration and wallpaper.The doors of the rooms are also black doors with authentication locks, and there are still some dust and traces of chalk on the doors.

The delphinium subconsciously lowered its footsteps and pricked up its furry ears, but did not hear any sound from it.

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

——By the way, where is this place?

With this doubt in mind, Delphinium carefully walked down the old-fashioned stairs full of dust and concrete steps.

Chapter 18 The Bard (The Rock and Roll Look)

When the delphinium went to the first floor, it was even darker.

Only the dim yellow old-fashioned light bulbs flicker disturbingly... the environment is quite clean.

There are two doors leading to the outside, one is closed and made of fuzzy frosted glass; the other is open, but with a low-hanging black leather curtain to block the outside light.

The twilight of the early morning leaked in from under the door curtain.Against the dim yellow light, a cool and clean light blue appeared.

As the delphinium approached the door, her ears moved slightly—she heard Russell's voice.

She immediately stopped her footsteps, tiptoed over, put her head over curiously, pressed her ears against the door curtain, and shook her ears from time to time to make her ears and door curtain stick tighter.

"...Don't smash it, let's go!"

"Wait a minute, wait until I finish smashing this car..."

She heard the voice of Russell talking to a strange man.

For some reason, she was slightly relieved after confirming that the "boss" was a man.

But delphinium came back to it later, and felt a little puzzled to herself: Why am I so nervous here?

The next moment, she lifted the heavy curtain, lowered her head slightly and walked out.

Looking at the messy tables, the dim lights, the various instruments and stages reserved for the band, and the wooden shelves full of various wines she didn't know.

There are also four huge lying oak barrels, and there are seven or eight smaller oak barrels in a row next to them, each of which has a device similar to a faucet inserted.Delphinium was stunned for several seconds before realizing belatedly—could this be the legendary bar?

Then, she saw what Russell was doing——

In the bar at 05:30 in the morning, there are almost not many customers.

The men in the two corners were still patting each other's shoulders, drinking beer of different colors, and discussing something in a low voice; a man who seemed to have cried was sleeping on the sofa, and he was still covered with someone's mask. A leather coat; a woman in high heels is sitting in a corner, drinking mulled wine while her fingers are flying in the void at high speed like playing a piano.

The place where the bartenders were supposed to be was empty.

Russell and a strong man were sitting in another corner of the room.

The physique of that brawny man is comparable to that of a strangler. When he sits in front of this machine, it will give people a feeling of "wronging him"-he has to curl up and sit on a very low stone bench to The screen in front of you is fully reflected in your eyes.

In front of them is a huge machine with a joystick and a few buttons on it, and there are two synchronized pixel wind screens.

Delphinium managed to distinguish it before realizing that it might be an older game.

The flickering of the low refresh rate screen made her eyes a little hurt, she quickly reached out to cover her eyes.

"You finally woke up."

Russell's ears could easily hear the sound of the door curtain being raised, so he greeted casually without even turning his head: "You can sleep well, Flotie."
