Overturned Tower

"It's not that simple."

Amirus shook his head: "He is just dreaming, hazy and fuzzy. If we really want to build a virtual world where people can't tell the real from the fake, it is still impossible with the current technology.

"Speaking of which, this person and you are still colleagues."

"...Huh? Who is he?"

"The bodyguard of Director Kamalth. Half a month ago, he was attacked together with Director Kamalth... He was directly swept into a sieve by the firepower. But fortunately, his brain was not injured, which is a blessing. "

The old elf smiled gently, and stroked the container containing the computer: "Although these days, psykers are not very valuable. He is not a naturally awakened psyker like you, but a psychic who was catalyzed. Psyker... But even so, after being suppressed by the chip for two levels of strength, he can still develop his psionic power to the peak of level four redshift, which shows that his blueshift has surpassed the limit of ordinary people and reached level seven.

"If he hadn't been a bodyguard, but an uncensored one. He might have crossed the wall of the zodiac by now and became a strong man.

"It's really lucky to be able to preserve this brain. He was shot by at least six or seven shots at the time. If his brain was hit by even one shot, it would be completely destroyed. It's just a pity that the other bodyguards present at the time were not able to make it the first time. After protecting his brain for a while, he was still brain dead.

"Otherwise, he won't have my turn to operate it himself."

"...Psychic weapons were originally made by psionic users?"

The God's Vessel looked at it, and was a little obsessed for a while, and couldn't help sighing softly: "No wonder, all psychic users can synchronize with any psychic weapon."

"Not too rigorous, in fact, the psychic armament still has a synchronization rate."

Amirus squinted his eyes, looking kindly like a neighbor's grandfather.

He turned around and said with a smile: "For example, the 'sage beheaded'. It came from an assassin who tried to assassinate me. The person who killed her was your mother. So after I made her beheaded by a saint, Just gave it to your mother as a present.

"Her demon is called 'Determination to Cut All'. I tried my best to keep its rare characteristics, and gave it the ability to grow longer, regenerate, become sharper and stronger by drinking 'Determination'. This is what I made My first psionic weapon is also my favorite work.

"When it's in your hands, the synchronization rate is obviously much higher than in your mother's hands..."

Amirus glanced at Russell's arms, a little regretful: "Didn't you bring it?"

"Do you want to use it?"

"You are not the same as Alice. You have a prosthetic arm. Then I think it will be more useful to put it directly into your prosthetic hand... You can bring it next time. I will give you a free upgrade .”

"I also thought about fusing them together, but it must be in close contact with my skin... Ordinary contact is not good, and I must hold it tightly."

"Oh, you misunderstood. That is the safety lock I set for Alice, otherwise it will easily hurt the user. It also has a blade as a dagger. That's enough. I added a blade to it for normal use. If you... I can remove both the handle and the blade, so the weight of the prosthetic hand won't increase too much."

Amirus said seriously.

The container of God couldn't help but glanced at him again: "I heard that you are the most devout cardinal of the Cyber ​​Church, and I thought you were a very extreme and kind person. I didn't expect..."

"Why am I not a good person? I gave you something and sold it for free. Isn't this a good person?"

The old man was not angry at all, but responded happily: "Or, do you think this production process is a bit cruel? But I didn't kill anyone with my own hands, okay?

"In fact, I think your reaction will be more intense, or you thought you heard that I was using psykers to make psychic weapons, so you just killed me directly. I have prepared words to persuade you, and I didn't expect you to I accepted it so quickly. Sure enough, I saw you right at the time... You are indeed the same kind of person as me."

"A class of people?"

"Make the most of everything..."

The old man showed a happy and relaxed smile from the heart, invited the container of God to sit down, and even poured him a cup of tea: "I don't take the initiative to kill, and I don't take it. But for the things that are 'wasted' by others, for the enemy's holding Some wealth, do what you can and use any means to recycle.

"The first time I saw you, I knew you were such a person. You have eyes similar to mine... you have a hypocritical but benevolent heart, a warm but indifferent heart, and a 'persistence' similar to mine.

"Oh, that's right. You are my hero, but I haven't introduced myself to you, have I? This is really inappropriate... Well, this is my fault.

"I don't need to mention my mortal identity—I am an old man named Amyrus (ARMILUS) II, an elf whose destiny is 'persistence'. I am 380 years old this year, and I have one year and three months left to die... It should be the longest-lived elf right now."

Looking at Russell, the old elf's eyes were as gentle as warm jade.

But what he said unscrupulously involved taboos that should not be understood by mortals: "And as an elf before the 'zero year', I didn't have my own spiritual relatives... I also regret this .”

Chapter 47 Curiosity Killed the Cat

These two short sentences of Amirus contain a huge amount of information.

He unabashedly stated the "fate" of the name elf, and even stated his age, the identity of "Amirus II", and his lifespan;

In his words, he also revealed the secret about "Zero Year".

It even hinted when the spiritual illness appeared...

There was no warning when the old elf uttered these two sentences, and he didn't even ask "Russell" if he wanted to know about it.

Although he always has a kind expression on his face, his eyes are as gentle as jade, his words and attitude are also full of kindness and tolerance.

But God's Vessel doesn't think that this is some kind-hearted person who can be seen everywhere.

An old elf who has lived for more than 1000 years, even if he is kind by elf standards, the things inside the shell are completely different from ordinary people.

Although the elves were also transformed from humans and were once ordinary short-lived species...but if the elves have the same worldview as humans, then it is impossible for them to live to the present.

First of all, they must abandon the morality, common sense, logic, and way of life that belong to human beings, so that they can maintain their spiritual activation for a long time.

And the solidified personalities and personal preferences of the elves will become distorted in this gradual change.

——In the case of eternal personality, specialties, obsessions, and preferences, distort the three views, common sense, moral concepts, and lifestyles into specifications that can match the lifespan of longevity species.As the elves mature, this distortion based on the depths of the soul will become more serious.

It's hard to imagine how elves, a special group obviously created by extremely advanced technology, were born in the first place, and what they exist for...

But neither Russell nor God's Vessel will be fooled by this level of overtures.

The container of god looked at Amirus quietly, but there was a kind of sarcasm on his face.

"What are you trying to do by telling me this?"

The container of God said with a smile: "I'm not curious about such dangerous things. Curiosity will kill the cat."

"yes……"

The old elf chuckled and let out a slow breath.

His spirit was hale and hearty, and his eyes looking at the container of God were calm and calm, without any wavering or hesitation.

That straight back made Amyrus look more like an old general... rather than a dying old man.

"How do you think such knowledge is dangerous?"

Amirus said kindly and calmly: "If you want to talk about danger, there is nothing in this world that is not dangerous."

"Knowledge itself is not dangerous, but your motivation for telling me this knowledge makes me shudder.

"It's like being wrapped around your ankle by a snake, and you don't bother to check whether the snake is poisonous or someone else's pet. A normal human will only feel the chill from the back at this time."

The container of God leisurely raised the teacup, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

He replied unceremoniously: "The poison named suspicious can make people feel chills without injecting it into the body."

But even though he was treated with such an attitude, Amirus was still completely lifeless.

"You talk as much as you read poetry and sing."

The old elf said cheerfully: "That's what I'm going to tell you, I can't tell you any more."

"and then?"

"And... if you want to know more secrets, there is no way."

Amyrus sat across from Russell.

His squinted emerald pupils looked like an abyss at the bottom of the lake at first glance: "Anyway, you Babel want this kind of thing... right."

"...The Tower of Babel is okay."

The container of God raised his brows, without any panic on his face.

On the contrary, he crossed his legs, and continued to sarcastically as if nothing had happened: "Old man, did you have a psychological shadow after being kidnapped by the Tower of Babel once? If I were a member of the Tower of Babel, I wouldn't have saved you... You can see, I was able to beat that mercenary leader with a gun at that time, it was pure luck.

"If I do it again, I may not even be able to enter the door. The meeting will be shot twice, it doesn't seem like there is an internal response in the airship."

"You were indeed not from the Tower of Babel at that time."

Amirus said gently: "Because that group of people are not either. It's just that one of them pretended to be clever and claimed that they were from the Tower of Babel.

"If you want to talk about why I know this kind of thing...it's because I hired them."

Hearing this, God's Vessel opened its eyes wide for the first time.

He had actually discussed this possibility with Bad Day before, but they dismissed it as too low a possibility.

They didn't expect that the truth at that time was actually like this...and Amirus actually told himself this secret without reservation!

At this moment, he even felt a little confused.

He didn't know whether he should continue to refute the identity of his Tower of Babel, or ask about the origins of this group of people, or ask about his motives for doing so...

But before God's Vessel could figure it out, Amirus was still talking to himself: "I let them steal my memory, but I didn't tell them that I'm actually a name elf.

"You should realize by now, that group of mercenaries are not mercenaries from Happy Island. They are people I brought from Sun Island.

"To be precise, they are the mages of Happy Island, the helpers recruited from Sun Island through the dream world... But think about it, Russell. Even in the mage association on Happy Island, there are Tianen Group The spies who went in...then how can there be no people on Sun Island that we Toutling can infiltrate?

"When it comes to research on the subconscious, the brain, psionics and magic, we are the leading 'giant'.

"The reason why they were not discovered on Sogo Island is because I sheltered them in secret. Of course, most of them don't know the real mission... because they don't need to know too much.

"As a surname elf, they can't find out my memory. Trying to burn my memory to make a chip will only make me trigger the 'rollback' mechanism and erase my own existence."

The old elf said flatly: "In that case, I can die smoothly.

"Their captain is my man. He was able to carry a gun and wear a dangerous prosthetic body into the airship, naturally because of my guarantee.

"Or...he is the airship that entered openly as my bodyguard."

Amirus said with a smile: "So you know why I didn't bring bodyguards?

"It's not that I didn't bring it, I have always carried it. I'm just an old man with no strength to restrain a chicken. How could I go out without a bodyguard?"

The container of god fell into complete silence.

He put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Amirus seriously, without saying a word.

"As for the flaws exposed, the traces left, and the evidence produced-that kind of thing is fine. Although the seven giants are considered hostile to each other, I must have said hello to Sai Lun about this kind of thing.

"Didn't you realize that your executive department didn't investigate this matter after that? The assassination of the director of the elf... Can this kind of thing really be put aside and not investigated?"

"……what is your purpose?"

"There is no particularly strong purpose, what must be said is waste utilization."

Amirus smiled gently: "I'm dying anyway, so why not make the most of this life.

"Although those mercenaries are from Sun Island, I am the director who is resident on Happy Island. And the terminal of this airship is also on Happy Island... That is to say, when I was finally burnt to memory and died, It will stop within the range of Happy Island.

"In this way, the lower city of Happy Island will have an excuse to be wiped out. This is the benefit I have given to Tianen Group.

"And if I die in my capacity, the church will have an excuse to further interfere with the company, this is the claim I gave to the church.

"By the way, the monkey-faced eagle is also my man. He broke into Shenzhi Heavy Industry to gain the trust of that fake... This is another part of the plan.

"They used the virus from the Tower of Babel when they invaded the Airship, which was used as an excuse to convince the dragon to increase the power of the elves.

"I can also put on a younger body instead of having to put up with such an aging and poorly functioning body.

"So you said, do I have any specific purpose? I don't think so.

"Because even I myself don't know what my greatest purpose is."

The smile on the old elf's face didn't change a bit.

But God's Vessel has realized—he may have come by mistake.

Chapter 48 Amyrus the Conspirator

"What are you thinking about, with a frowning look on your face."

Seeing that the container of God remained silent, Amirus asked in a friendly manner, "Is it something I didn't understand? Do you need me to explain in detail?"

"...No. I'm just wondering if I shouldn't come to see you at this time."

"Well, there used to be a saying on the ground... called 'cover your ears and steal your bell'. Some things just don't happen if you don't know and can't hear them."

Amirus said gently: "From the time you became my hero... or before that, when you appeared in front of me with the saint beheading I gave to Alice and rescued me, you have been There is no way out.

"Your uncle is aware that Alice may have joined an unspeakable organization. How could I not know?

"After all, she saved my life. Have you ever thought about why I made you a hero but didn't make Alice a hero when I was saved?"

"...Because my mother didn't agree."
