Overturned Tower

Page 262

Russell, who is only longing for enjoyment and comfort, finally wants to stand up and do some "great careers" that he is actually unwilling and excited about.

However, he has to stand up.

Even if it is only to save the one millionth person he loves, he must save a million times more people together.

And how to make Tongshen Island, which is full of hatred, ignorance, and prejudice, become his help?

The insight from the statue of the deer told him that at this time, he should be guided to hate and enlighten his mind;

Tovatus told him in his ear how to direct the hatred of the people of Tongshen Island to the senior management of Shenzhi Heavy Industry;

Thrall gave him an affinity that forgave, comforted anyone;

Tokifat gave him tentacles that lay out plots like cobwebs;

Amyrus gave him the leadership to make people obey his will without knowing it...

Everyone that "Russell" has met and learned will become a part of him and be stored in that container.

And Sally Ruth lifted the seal on the container.

"Really, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Russell repeated again.

As if staring at Sally Ruth just now, Mr. Otter seemed to be completely deprived of his attention.

At this time, the gray-white glow at the bottom of Russell's pupils finally condensed again.

——Turned into a calm, stable dim yellow.

Chapter 28 Amber

When Mr. Otter regained consciousness again, the banquet was over.

It was as if he was so drunk that his consciousness was directly fragmented... He couldn't even recall anything after "Ultramarine" fixed his neckline.But he didn't pass out, just walking like a walking dead.

He opened his eyes, noticing that he was on a levitator.There were no traces of dragging or pulling on the clothes on his body, which indicated that he came up voluntarily.

"You're awake, Mr. Otter."

Qun Qing, who was sitting beside him, gently handed over a cup of hot water.

It's as if he knew that he would wake up at this time...

——Or, he knew that he just lost consciousness?

Sitting on the floating car, he couldn't help feeling a chill down his spine.The muscles connecting the cheeks to the neck, together with his own teeth, were also numb from fear.

People from other sky islands might not think too much about it.

But no matter what he said, he was also from Tongshen Island.

After the "Baibai Incident", the natives born on Tongshen Island have a far better understanding and fear of demons than those from the outer islands.

Moreover, Mr. Otter is also an executive of the research department... Although his moral character may be lacking, his professional skills are by no means inferior to anyone else.

Normally, spiritual power cannot directly change another person's mind.

Psionics is the power of the mind to "change reality with the mind".

Because any modification to the mind may directly lead to the birth of new psykers - such as manipulating the minds of others, rewriting other people's memories, making others involuntarily do what they want, hypnosis without trace.

That is the power that only "Mage" and "Church" possess.

When they looked at director Sally Ruth, it was normal for them to be affected by the power entwined by her... After all, they were director elves.

But Ultramarine is different.

Because in addition, there is a very special situation.

...that is the devil.

Just like the gold coins left over from "Mammon", it can make people pale.All other demons have the means to make their own "familiars"... They can silently rewrite other people's minds, implant certain thoughts, or absorb emotions and memories from dreams——

And Qunqing is a psychic... He is the one who holds the chip, and cannot be a mage.

This heralds a terrifying fact.

——The hero "Qunqing" worshiped by Happy Island has already turned into a demon at some point in time!

Although Mr. Otter realized the terrible truth in his heart, he dared not tell anyone.

He was probably the only one who was sucked away by Russell's fear; that is to say, he was the only one who knew the secret.

Judging from Chairman Thrall and Director Sally Ruth's enthusiastic attitude towards Ultramarine, as well as his reaction when he absorbed the fear in his heart, this may be a demonic experiment secretly carried out by those name elves!

And Qunqing is their precious experimental subject—perhaps earlier, before Qunqing entered the Happy Island, he was already an awakened demon!

As an experimenter, Mr. Otter knows how precious this unique "orphan variant" is in the eyes of other researchers.

Before he can get enough repeatability, he must not be allowed to hurt him a little bit——

Therefore, knowing that Russell's skin may be an awakened demon, and he may even be transformed into a familiar, but Mr. Otter can only accompany Russell back to the research institute with trepidation, and he doesn't even dare to ask anything on the way ... lest I know something I shouldn't know, and shoot myself in the back and kill myself.

The secret that the name-calling elves have to hide is even the research that the chairman of the company participated in--that is definitely not something that a mere ephemeral researcher like him deserves to spy on.

And Russell was also very satisfied with his experiment.

In fact, this is not because his spiritual power has been deformed or awakened...

This is the new power that Russell obtained after successfully imitating the traits of Sally Ruth's mentor.

He used to always think that this kind of thing is not worthy of imitation - after all, he is just a mortal.

But now, he finally woke up.

—Fucking mortals.

It is purely self-deceiving hypocrisy... the moment you meet someone for the first time, you can directly skip the process of understanding and directly imitate the core of your personality that you should not know at all.In any case, this is not an ability that can be justified by "being good at learning from others".

The moment he woke up, he directly stole the essence of Sally Ruth through his deeply connected spirit with Sally Ruth.Got that talent for demagoguery.

In the future, Russell will be able to tell people logically, "You think Mr. Ultramarine is very handsome, now you can be a three-cheek".

Using this ability generously in front of Thrall and Sally Ruth was precisely to tell them directly what he had stolen—since Sally Ruth didn't stop herself or warn herself, she acquiesced in Russell's "fellow" creation".

Moreover, this also shows that it will not have any taboo or harm.Otherwise, Sally Ruth should have said a few words, and Mr. Sal would have warned himself a few words.

...However, when he peeked into Sally Ruth's mind, he seemed to see something.

In other words, he felt an existence similar to himself from the depths of Sally Ruth's heart.

That should be the source of her power, the special power that can "open all doors" obtained from the fate of the "door opener"——

——That is a "demon" that exists in a perfect form.

In other words, the "Sally Ruth" that Russell knew from the very beginning was the demon in her body.

It is different from the technique of "communicating with the devil" taught by Huachu.

The demons in their bodies are fundamentally one with themselves—rather than as two different independent existences like Russell and the container of God.

She and the demon in her body have only one consciousness.

Sally Ruth's elf, solidified like a gem, is like dripping and solidified resin.

And the demon in her body is the bug sealed in the amber.

From the outside, you will be impressed by the gem-like luster and crystal clearness of this resin.However, it is nothing more than a tool to seal mosquitoes.

The "beauty" in her body, the "light" in Sal's body, that is, the worm in the amber has come to life.

And Tovatus, Amirus, and Kamalthe are "ambers" with lower clarity, and the bugs in them have not yet woken up.

Think again, when the "budded lover" awakens, he still can't break free from the "prototype"... For example, it's like jelly, although the body is crumbling, it still has the devil embedded in it, making it impossible to break free. Get out completely.

Then contacting what he saw with his own eyes just now, Russell was finally able to confirm...

The "fate" carried by the name-calling elves is to carry the 84 most powerful demons that have awakened or have not yet awakened.

Their designers used the elves as turrets, or pedestals, to wield the power of these demons.

The solid soul of elves can bind demons, and their "destiny" may be a way to suppress, seal, or induce the power of demons...

——So, who are the designers of these elves?Are those dragons?

——Why are the number of elves so much greater than the number of famous elves?The number of elves today is even more than the "8000 possibilities" that psionics may have, that is, more than [-] demons sleeping in the dream world, but they can use the soul to seal the demon's name. The elves have never increased again...

The solution to a riddle brings more doubts.

He already had some answers in his mind, but without detailed evidence, he decided not to speculate on those unresolved ambiguities for the time being.In order to avoid preconceived ideas and produce diametrically opposed answers.

Anyway, after he saw "The Knotted Pistol" today, Russell already had a stronger premonition——

After this dilapidated car started to go downhill, it was kicked on the accelerator by an unknown number of people.

The fighters who directly bombed civilian airships, Chairman Saar who personally intervened, Sally Ruth who came to the door without waiting for a day, Amirus who specially invited him here...

...and, ale from the "embers" sect who wanted to hasten the destruction of the world, and saved himself from a crashed airship.

The speed at which things are developing today must be faster than anyone's own expectations.

How many people got involved?

How many people are still in control of this situation?

Russell didn't know.

But he can be sure - the moment to reveal all the secrets is getting closer and closer.

Chapter 29 Bubbles-30

[Warning, you have entered the radio silence area, and the network link has been disconnected]

【Warning, you are in the monitoring area, and everything you say may be recorded. If you continue to stay in this area after receiving this notice, you are deemed to have known and approved the monitoring and recording of this unit】

Before Russell got off the floating car, such a reminder suddenly appeared in front of him.

The network signal icon at the top of his field of vision suddenly jumped from full to "no signal" in an instant.

"...is this a black area?"

Russell was a little surprised: "A black area on the ground?"

He had seen the black area in the lower city of Sogo Island before, where the uncoded people gathered.But this is the first time that Russell has seen such a large area of ​​black areas in the upper city...

Once you enter the black zone, it means that all radios of any kind are cut off - broadcasting, calling, video, positioning, and navigation will all be paralyzed.Only those wired telephones set up in fixed areas and wired monitoring devices connected to the internal network can operate normally.

This means that once a remote-controlled cargo truck passes by, it will instantly lose signal and stop on the side of the road.And if there is a criminal hiding here, the head office will not be able to locate his specific location.

For the era that has completely relied on automatic navigation and remote control, it is destined to be very, very inconvenient if the black zone is established in the upper city.

And this entire special park - about 20 high-rise buildings with more than [-] floors, all of them are in the black zone.

All surrounding buildings are coated with special black paint, which can absorb electromagnetic waves extremely efficiently.In this way, even if someone does not rely on the chip, but brings a network device such as a disc board into the black area, it can effectively suppress the opponent's radio signal.

It was completely dark today, but these buildings were darker than the sky.Those dark buildings are like devils that only appear in nightmares.

"It's for secrecy..."

Mr. Otter said with a wry smile, and got off the floating vehicle.

Seeing that only Russell got off the floating car, he subconsciously waited for a few seconds before realizing that the girl with pet dog temperament did not follow.

... Shouldn't she be a spy monitoring Ultramarine?

Has he been bought by Qunqing so quickly...

Mr. Otter was startled and became more cautious.

"The main reason is to prevent the theft of important research materials... This has happened before."

Mr. Otter lowered his voice, and said carefully and softly: "Just build a black area to store the most important research data."

"Don't you have a network security department?"

"Yes, yes... but 'the Tao is one foot tall, and the devil is one foot high'. Those psychic hackers, which one is not an elite..."

The man smiled helplessly: "You said that even if the company wants to poach people, it's really hard to find people with such a small salary. This place is different from Happy Island.”

"That's true."

Russell chuckled and said, "The biggest difference is probably that the wages are different."
