Overturned Tower

Writing reports, dealing with leaders, dealing with the media, approving documents...

It was only when Delphinium took a "vacation" and God's Vessel went to replace her that Russell realized that she actually had a lot of work instead of just sitting there reading books and watching the news every day.

Before that, Luo Luo and Tiansong were sniped by elf assassins, which was also included in the investigation by "Russell".

As a result, he found out something that surprised him—or, in other words, he was able to find it out easily, which already surprised him.

Those two elves weren't hired, nor were they mental workers, nor were they even professional assassins.

And strictly speaking, it wasn't two people... but four people.

The information records are written clearly, they come from Sogo Island.It was the airship that Russell and Amirus had hijacked before.

They are all network engineers affiliated with Sogo Corporation.After arriving at Happy Island scattered, somehow sneaked into Huachu's psychological clinic and stole unknown documents.The specific time of the incident was the night before Russell went to find Huachu.

They must have also seen and copied the documents that Russell obtained, and decided to shoot one of them.

The "prototype" was also harassed by them, but it was only a tentative snipe once, and they didn't continue to attack... just like the situation encountered by Luo Luo.In the end, the only one who was counter-killed was the "amateur assassin" who went to assassinate Tiansong.

Besides, there is one more person.

He also contacted Huachu, but Huachu did not give his report to Russell.

That person's code name is "Nirvana", a cyber detective with a notorious reputation.Because the Network Security Department once suspected that he had been a psychic hacker, he was always monitoring the other party... but it happened that the process of "Nirvana" being shot to death happened to be photographed.

But it doesn't seem to make sense to say that these people are trying to steal any information.Because they immediately left Happy Island and returned to Sogo Island after killing Nirvana, and did not go to the apartment where Nirvana was located to search.

Very inexplicable-four decent elves who have learned sniper skills, as network engineers of other sky islands, went to a psychiatrist's clinic on Happy Island and secretly looked through her medical records, and then pointed at her four The patients each fired a shot and ran away quickly.

It can only be said that Russell felt that he had indeed found something, but it seemed that he had found nothing.

It seems that the spiritual weapon has to wait for a while.

Director Amirus personally debugged it, and it will take at least a month to complete it.The old elf claimed that during the journey, Russell could go to Thoth Lingen at any time to watch the production progress.

Russell trusted Amyrus so much that he stopped watching.

——Anyway, I can’t understand it after reading it, so there is no need to comment on it in the past by pretending to understand it.

Shenzhi Heavy Industry, which lost Tiansong but got Monkey Face Eagle, and Chongguang Group, which came here specially to kill a small person, all kept silent miraculously.

As a result, Russell's side became strangely quiet.

Tianen Group didn't do any more work.There was no war against the lower city again, and the church did not say anything on the news after the angels entered the special execution department.

Although it feels like the oppressive sense of tranquility before the storm, Russell can also enjoy himself.

He hasn't been anywhere these days, and he hasn't even entered the dream world.

At first, he was worried about the delphinium's situation, but maybe because he got used to it, Russell gradually felt relieved.

Russell was most worried about the delphinium's parents, but it was the best solution. When Russell told them that the delphinium was here, they didn't even ask when the delphinium came home.

In addition to always keeping an eye on the delphinium's body temperature, giving her nutritional injections to hydrate and reduce fever, and taking care of personal hygiene, she just made a pot of tea safely and sat by the bed to read books and watch dramas after a long absence.

Russell wanted an iced Coke at first.But Coca-Cola doesn't really go well with reading, and he can't play games for some reason.

It's like sitting in an empty boat for a long time, and when you get off, you feel that down-to-earth feeling.Just lying next to the delphinium, Russell would feel his mood become peaceful.

Russell didn't even get much sleep that first night.

Delphinium was lying in the middle of the bed, and Russell was lying on the edge of the bed.While talking about the trouble Huachu and those three people had caused him, he curled up in the rocking chair he moved to the bed and fell asleep.

And when Russell woke up, he found that his head was resting on Delphinium's belly... and he was "fallen" out of the rocking chair beside the bed, kneeling on the ground beside the bed, maintaining a A strange posture.

——Although I don't know if the delphinium had nightmares because of being pillowed all night, Russell really felt that his knees were a little stiff.

After that, Russell moved the delphinium a little further back on the bed.And he no longer sat by the bed, but lay on the bed together...

Russell was actually quite disturbed that day.

He was always worried that Bad Day would suddenly push the door in and see this scene.But there are some small expectations inexplicably in my heart, I hope someone can really see it.

As a result, he didn't fall asleep for a long time that day - because Russell's sleeping pattern is actually quite random when he is not tied up.

When he was in middle school on Chongguang Island, he and his roommates slept in bunk beds.He once rolled off the upper bunk and landed on a roommate in the lower bunk with a precise curve ball.

Heaven has brought justice, it belongs to yes.

From then on, Russell would only sleep on the bottom bunk... No matter how strange the sleeping position was, at least he wouldn't roll and roll to the top bunk.

Russell was worried that if he woke up, he would kick the delphinium to the ground...or roll and roll, crushing the delphinium's hair or flesh.

But when Russell woke up, he found that he and Delphinium had hugged each other at some point.

Not only was he rolling by himself, but he was also dragging the delphinium along with him—they were no longer in the initial position when they fell asleep, but turned a ninety-degree angle and slept in the middle of the bed.The big, fluffy tail of the delphinium was still covering Russell's waist, and Russell hugged the delphinium and curled up in the other's arms.

When Russell got up flushed and confused, he realized that he had slept for twelve hours.

It's been a long time, and he hasn't slept more than eight hours.If he needed to go to work, he must have been late by now.

——Oh, I have power leveling.That's fine.

But after sleeping for so long in one breath all of a sudden, I don't feel refreshed.On the contrary, there is some faint headache, and inexplicable laziness of not wanting to move.So after washing, eating and helping Delphinium with a round of hygiene, Russell slowly retreated back to the bed.

After that, Russell finally let go of his subtle shame.

With a kind of happiness that "has been hugged", revealing a little joy and self-satisfaction, he can finally calm down and watch some books or TV series when the delphinium is sleeping beside him, instead of I kept looking back at her.

Sometimes when he gets tired from reading books or watching dramas...he will tilt his head and lie on Delphinium's shoulder to rest quietly for a while.

Russell could suddenly understand what Morgan had said.

That quiet and safe sense of satisfaction can release all loneliness.

It is the antidote to all bitterness, and the moistness as sweet as honey.

——But maybe you don’t have to lie in the sunny place to have a dream about her.

Because where she is, is my sun.

Chapter 63 Flower Touch

Even though I just slept for twelve hours...

But as Russell breathed the smell of delphinium, felt her warmth, and rested quietly on her shoulder instead of the pillow, he gradually felt sleepy again.

Stomach has become a little hungry.But he still didn't want to move, just closed his eyes and used the chip to contact the takeaway.

At this point, there was no need to give the delphinium an injection of water—and to be honest, he didn't really want to see the delphinium lying on the bed with a medicine bottle and a pale face.

It always reminded him of something bad.It was as if a bright and colorful person had turned pale in an instant.

Of course, if necessary, Russell can also give her an injection... He is still very skilled in this.From dispensing medicine to needle insertion to needle withdrawal, the whole process is very skilled.After all, he had already called Alice many times.

During these three days, Delphinium's condition gradually stabilized...

First of all, the color of sweat and tears is no longer that dangerous azure blue, and then the body temperature is no longer so high, and then I don't sweat much.The expression on his face also became calm, no longer as painful as it was at first.

Therefore, Russell had a vague feeling that Delphinium was about to wake up.He didn't want to leave her unless necessary.

Russell always has a subtle feeling... always feels that if she wakes up, the first person she sees is not herself, as if something is missing in her heart.

Suddenly, Russell's ears trembled slightly.

He keenly heard that the delphinium's breathing rhythm suddenly changed slightly.

He raised his head with a swipe, his emerald green pupils focused on delphinium.

He soon saw that the corners of Delphinium's mouth could not help but rise slightly.

Delphinium opened her eyes, looked at Russell quietly with a smile on her face.

"you're awake!"

Russell sat up straight from the bed and said excitedly, "I knew you would be fine!"

So what if I have something to do?

Delphinium had such a thought in mind.

But as smart as she is, she didn't say it directly, making Russell feel sad and painful for a tragedy that didn't exist.

"I am back……"

She said softly, her voice soft and hoarse: "Thanks to you, I can come back..."

"Wait a minute, drink some water first!"

Russell came to his senses at this moment, jumped out of bed quickly, poured a cup of warm water for Delphinium, helped her to sit up slowly and drank it.

While being supported to sit up, Delphinium couldn't help laughing: "I'm not that fragile...just a little dizzy."

She drank the cup of hot water in one gulp, then looked at Russell pitifully: "I'm so hungry..."

"I ordered takeaway, you can eat first..."

Russell said subconsciously, but suddenly realized something was wrong: "Wait a minute, you still have to eat something easy to digest."

"I want to eat meat."

Delphinium's tone was as cute as a coquettish child: "I want to eat barbecue..."

But Russell became strict: "No! Although I don't understand these things, I feel that this is definitely not possible... Let me order you another stomach-nourishing porridge."

"Then I want to drink the porridge you made."

"...But I'm not very good at it."

"It's okay. Will it be okay if there is no porridge?" Delphinium looked at Russell eagerly, "and I can teach you."

It is different from the calm, stable, rational and indifferent temperament that Delphinium always maintains.

After the battle with the demon, the delphinium woke up again... as if she had become enlightened, there was a subtle softness in her words.

But Russell vaguely sensed a fragile emotion.

So without a word he hugged the delphinium.

Delphinium was just quietly hugged by Russell, and said softly: "I can actually feel... When I was betting with 'Lethal Amount of Love', what happened outside.

"I also know what you said. What you did."

"...Then, will you blame me?"

Russell whispered, "I could have asked Paradise Bird to help."

"I'll blame you if you find her...and if that's the case, I may not be able to wake up."

Delphinium sighed helplessly, and the feeling of fragility and tenderness gradually dissipated: "It's really not easy... taming the demons in my heart. You and Mr. Bad Day are much better than me..."

"I think you'll be fine."

Russell let go of the delphinium, looked into her eyes, and said seriously: "Because kindness from the heart is itself a kind of power. A kind of power gushing from the depths of the heart."

If it was Delphinium in the past, he would have repeatedly argued that he has no so-called "kindness"... he is just a sinner who has killed someone and stained his hands with the blood of his relatives.

But today's delphinium just looked at Russell, and suddenly gave a flutter, revealing a smile as bright as a blooming flower.

She hugged Russell—she had been in a coma for three days, but her arms were still so strong.

"Thank you...Russell."

Delphinium thanked again sincerely: "I can wake up thanks to you.

"Without your... [love], I might sink to death in that ocean."

Just saying the word "love" would make her cheeks blush.

And Russell was too shy to answer this question.

He probably also guessed what the delphinium encountered...it should be an investigation from the devil.

In the end, "Lethal Amount of Love" recognized Delphinium and was willing to entrust her with her power.

"...but I think, maybe I can't do without you now."

Delphinium let go of Russell, stared at him fixedly, and sighed softly: "Then, how can I keep you?"

Russell couldn't help laughing: "Your words remind me of a poem."

Immediately afterwards, he shook his head seriously: "I won't leave."

"Have you ever read poetry..."

Delphinium felt a little surprised.
