Overturned Tower

"We are also students of Nephthys University. This is one of the nine universities that Sun Island is proud of. It is undoubtedly one of the best schools in the world, but the gap between them is huge. so big...

"At the same time, the 'other me' who used my childhood name was also studying mathematics at the same university as me. It was a much more difficult major than psionic application...but she could Got the first place in the class and No.2 in the same major.

"At the moment when I got the grades, I suddenly realized—my parents, as doctors, as psykers and scholars, can indeed see through my talents. Even if I am by the standards of ordinary people, I am still a little Brain. But there is no comparison with those monsters... I really have not inherited a single bit of wisdom and ability from my parents."

Ringo sighed.She pursed her lips, very unwilling.

Russell blinked.

It seems that the only difference is that Miss Ringo is not the main character in the script...

He asked curiously: "How many people are in your class?"

"40 people, a total of 360 people in the same major."

"That's actually not too bad, and you're already very good—at least you're in the front row."

"If you can't achieve the best, it's a waste product. If you can't become a 'doctor', learning is meaningless..."

Ringo just shook his head.

She sighed, got up and picked up the cup of cocoa that had cooled down, and drank it down in one gulp.

The cooled cocoa no longer has that mellow aroma, but is sweet and greasy.

But this time, Russell did not stop her.

"Just like my current job, in fact, I don't need any knowledge I learned in college. I know how to print psionic energy, know the influence of spiritual relatives on psionic energy, and I can also make psionic chips... But so what?

"My usual job is to fight those mercenaries - the second is to record commercials and promotional videos. And now I have received such a task..."

Reluctantly, she clenched the cup full of cocoa: "The knowledge I have learned so hard, I don't need it at all!

"But it's also very reasonable...'Research' is an industry with a very high barrier to entry and consumes a lot of money. There is no need for bastards and waste. What I learned in college is just knowledge at the threshold level and a test of discernment. I haven't even passed this kind of test, and I haven't crossed the threshold. The knowledge I have come into contact with can only be regarded as "useful", but it is not "profound" at all.

"But now, the reason why I was spotted and given this task is because of the blood of my biological parents who abandoned me.

"I told you before, Mr. Qunqing. We in Sun Island don't value bloodlines the least...but from another perspective, we value bloodlines the most."

Russell possesses the same psychic powers as Alice on the surface, and they are both "non-existent weapons".This is the only solitary copy left in the world at present... Only this pair of mother and child have inherited the same spiritual power.And Russell himself is still a very good high-achieving student, even if he is placed on Sun Island, he is still a talent who can enter the first disc.According to Sun Island's special "academic aesthetics", Russell's attractiveness can be said to be quite high.

Ringo's mentor at Nephthys University, as well as the researcher of her battle suit, "Professor Chen", a senior researcher at the Second Research Institute, gave Ringo this task.

When Professor Chen mentioned this task, he didn't feel guilty at all, but smiled all over his face.

Because he didn't think that Lingo was wronged by this task.Rather, they are using Sun Island's pressure to force Russell.

"...you're really not interested in me, are you?"

Lingo reconfirmed: "Are you really not interested at all? I will take the medicine that stimulates the secretion of hormones, just once... I will never pester you after that."

"I have a girlfriend."

Russell emphasized.

"Hey—that's great..."

Lingo's eyes were full of envy: "I also want to have a boyfriend..."

She looked at Russell, the pink halo in her pupils dissipated completely at some point, and turned back into dark black eyes again.

"It can't be helped...so be it."

With her hands behind her back, she smiled briskly: "Then I won't tempt you again, Mr. Qunqing!"

"Really?"

"of course."

Lin Po snorted: "I don't know how to poach the corners of other people's houses. Don't underestimate a woman's self-esteem... I can smell your breath. She is also a dog, right?"

"Ah... her soul relative is Samoyed."

"Is he a big man? Does Mr. Qunqing like people who are bigger than himself?"

"No, she's a mixed race—her father's relative is a puppet cat."

"I see."

Lin Po nodded thoughtfully, and finally seemed to let go of something, showing a narrow and cheerful smile: "Did you know? According to our research on spiritual relatives, there is a high probability that a child's first love and spiritual relatives will It’s similar to parents of the opposite sex. Maybe she likes you because her father has cat relatives.”

"Is there any such statement?"

"Well, soul relatives have a 'taste'. Ordinary people can't touch it, but it's easy for ignorant children to feel it, because children's inspiration is very strong, and soul relatives are still developing. They will be in this In the process, it is inevitable to absorb some habits of parents, which is why our Sun Island raises children away from their parents. After boys get used to the taste of mother and girls get used to the taste of father, we will continue to grow up in the future. When you are looking for someone to fall in love with, it is easy to choose a type that is similar to it.”

"...But my mother is also a desert cat."

"I know this. So it's just a saying, not the exact truth."

Ringo's tone gradually became lively, becoming as cute as when he first met Russell, but no longer as shy as he was then.

But now, Russell will no longer regard her as a little sister who doesn't understand anything.

She knows everything.It's just that she didn't show it... It was her strong heart that allowed her to play the image of a "lovable and cute pet dog", allowing her less valuable self to survive in the world.

Just to be alive - to be crafted.

"...What do you say? If the mission fails, do you need me to explain it for you?"

Russell was a little soft-hearted and couldn't help asking.

Ringo shook his head slightly.

"it does not matter."

She smiled and said, "As I said just now...they are using Sun Island's pressure to force you. Conversely, they have already prepared a record, what should you do if you don't follow this set.

"In other words, they have already made the mental preparation that I will fail the mission.

"After all, since I was a child, everyone has never had much confidence in me~"

Ms. Ringo, who has long brown curly hair, showed a carefree and cheerful smile, and said relaxedly, "Both I and everyone are used to it."

Chapter 40 Puppy Wisdom

Russell shook his head slightly and sighed.

Miss Ringo is still too young.

In other words, her talents are indeed lacking, and her social experience is also lacking...

——So much so that he didn't realize the real intention of that "Professor Chen" from this extremely obvious and deliberate arrangement.

She did know a lot, she was a little smart, and she was also very strong.

But she didn't have anything she wanted to do, and she didn't have any clear plans for her life—that kind of deep-rooted sense of confusion, just like Russell when she first came to Happy Island.Walking on top of the clouds with vain footsteps, stumbling forward in the mist.

It is precisely because the two are very similar in various aspects... Russell can guess what Ringo is thinking without even imprinting her thinking.

Ringo and Russell are really similar.

In other words, they are actually the same kind of people in their bones.

They are also abandoned people - you know, Russell was also rejected by his parents in the previous life, and he also has such fear and shadow in his heart.And now they also have a strong heart, able to follow the path they have decided without hesitation.

Moreover, they all decided to disguise themselves and make themselves look more pleasing after their hearts were traumatized when they were young...

The difference is that Russell is slightly stronger than Ringo in all aspects.

Russell was more than likable.He is not always in the position of a weak follower, but can gradually acquire the other party's characteristics and talents through imitation and learning, and then take away the other party's position in the social circle.

But Ringo can only be a follower and a pet from beginning to end.

On the other hand, Russell was able to gain the attention of Elf directors by relying on his own talents, graduated from the most advanced universities with the highest grades, and now he has become a big shot... while Ringo can only cautiously survive in the executive department. They are used as consumables and used as pawns.

Russell and Ringo have the same laziness and arrogance deep in their hearts—the blood of people like them is not hot, but warm, like wine roasted by a fire.

When they deceive some important people through their own performances, and after they have a good relationship with them, a shadow called "arrogance" will appear in the depths of their hearts.They will mistakenly think that their status has also been improved, as if they have really become some great people.

Russell has the memory of reincarnation to break free from this illusion.But Ringo lacks this kind of introspection—so she is really lazy, choosing to use her talent to escape the sublimation that is destined to be painful.

She obviously has her own talent—the talent of penetrating desires and bewitching people's hearts.She originally had the aptitude to be a bewitching "witch" like malt wine, but because of her low self-esteem and laziness, she was willing to degenerate and was not perfectly developed.

A person like her can only be dragged out of the safe zone if she experiences severe pain or extreme stimulation.Forcing her to face up to her talents, she tried painfully to break out of the cocoon.

This is the reason why the so-called blackening is three times stronger.Not everyone has the chance to be three times stronger after being blackened. Even if a primary school student is blackened, he can only add a hell filter to himself... A person who has no talent at all, no matter how painful and crazy he is, he can only be called incompetent and furious .

Thinking of this, Russell shook his head and decided to help a little.

It's because of the fact that the two of them are the same kind... and because of the stories she told.

Even if Russell only stopped in Sun Island for one night, now he has obtained the knowledge of Sun Island by replicating Ringo's personality and listening to Ringo's narration.This saved Russell a lot of time, and he didn't need to stop at Sun Island on the return trip to conduct another round of observation and research.

"Do you think...that Professor Chen doesn't know what you're thinking?"

Russell sighed, looking into Ringo's stunned eyes: "Let's put it this way, Miss Ringo.

"When someone who is important to you puts forward an ambiguous task request to you - he personally said that this matter can be successful or not", then his expectation is actually unsuccessful .

"It's not that he doesn't have confidence in you. On the contrary, he has a lot of confidence in you... the confidence to screw things up. Rather than expecting your success and mentally preparing for your failure."

"……what?"

"No matter what he thinks in his heart... as long as he expects a successful result, he will definitely be strict with you. Rather, the more Professor Chen thinks that you will have problems, the more severe he will be with you, and even directly Threats are made to get you the best possible result. As for the situation where you can’t meet the needs of work, after you go back, they will take the opportunity to spur you, beat you, or choose to forgive you to get your gratitude, That is his choice.

"There is an old saying in Taoyuan Island. It is called 'take the law from the top, only to be the middle; take the law from the middle, so it is the bottom'. It's like when you take an exam, you rush to take the exam and go to the first place in the class You may only be able to get a No.8 in the exam; and if you think that you can get in the top five in the exam, it’s almost enough, and if you don’t pass the exam, it’s okay, maybe you can’t even get in the top ten; when you just plan to pass Sometimes, even passing grades can be dangerous.

"Even dull students can understand this kind of thing. Do you think that 'Professor Chen' won't understand?"

Seeing Lingo standing there in a daze and thinking, Russell also stood up.

He walked up to Ringo, reached out and stroked her soft and slightly curly hair.The hair that has just been bathed still has a little damp and cold water vapor, and it does not feel frizzy full of static electricity to the touch.

Russell looked directly into Ringo's eyes until she looked away slightly.

"Let's think about it the other way around..."

Russell's voice is gentle and clear, with a little laziness that belongs only to teenagers.

But in terms of real voice, Ringo, who is younger than Russell, sounds more like a sister.

"If nothing happened to the airship, the 'captain' you have a crush on will accompany us. I think you will be more entangled and hesitate...Although your captain and your senior sister are lovers, they are not married Bar?"

"Yes……"

"And I can easily see your hesitation... because your acting skills in hiding your worries are not very strong. Then even if I don't feel 'pity', I will feel 'disappointed' or even 'displeased'. Then you Naturally, there is no way to talk about the dedication, and it may even cause the relationship to collapse and make the two of us cold.

"Even for Sun Island, a person like you who isn't even a doctor is of little value—but I'm different."

Russell smiled gently: "I'm not a doctor, it's just because I don't want to take the exam, not because I can't pass the exam. Sun Island, which respects wise men, naturally wouldn't come here specially to disgust me."

"...But if this is the case, what can Professor Chen gain? I didn't do anything at all..."

"No, you did. Like now."

"what?"

"Let me know his name, and remember this person deeply. And let me know, I can find him when I go to you."

Russell looked at Ringo and couldn't help sighing.

Indeed, just a puppy.

Even though she learned things very early because of her excellent qualifications and loneliness in her early years, if no one continues to educate her, all she can master is the wisdom of baring her teeth and fighting for food.

Seeing that she still didn't understand, Russell simply explained: "I can inherit my mother's spiritual power because my mother passed away before I awakened.

"Even if we have a child, how can we verify that Professor Chen's theory is correct? You should know that psychic power is unique."

Hearing this, Lingo suddenly opened his eyes wide.

It doesn't seem too stupid.Finally understood.

Russell breathed a sigh of relief.

"You said, after I die, our children can inherit my psychic power. Maybe it is true, but you have to know... I am the deputy director of the Special Executive Department of Happy Island, and the Shenzhi Heavy Industry stationed in Happy Island The deputy director of the branch company, and I am only 26 years old this year. The possibility of me degenerating into a demon is higher than the probability of sudden sudden death or being killed. If I never die, your child who is an "orphan sample" , and how to prove Professor Chen's theory?"

He felt a little helpless about Lingo's innocence: "You will know after thinking about it for yourself. My life and death are beyond his control. This is impossible for an experimenter to do. Then yes For him, what is the real and only controllable thing?"

"...is...it's me?"

"—Of course it's you."

Russell's voice was like the devil's whisper: "I don't necessarily die if he dies. Compared with me, you are still held in his hands. As the person in charge of managing your prosthetic body modification... you don't know It should be very simple to die without realizing it, right?

"In that case, how could I promise you to give you a child?
