Overturned Tower

Vol 2 Chapter 5: Russell's heart skipped a beat.

Normally, everyone is complicated. Be special in special places, and become ordinary in ordinary places.

But every incarnation of Russell, from Alice to the blue robin, and the father of the bird of paradise whose name is still unknown...their "purity" is very high, like a fictional character in a novel.

It is the "higher than life" extract that "comes from life and is higher than life".

It's like the gap between the image in a celebrity's personal biography and the person himself.

—That's why my mother is such a girl full of maternal temperament, with a body as young as an unmarried girl, and she also has the fighting talent and the ability to easily see through other people's body structure that she should have at least after joining the Tower of Babel for a while experience;

—So the blue song robin has the ability to use firearms after being transformed into Xiao Liuli through high-intensity prosthetic body transformation, but his body has not yet received that kind of transformation at that time... and this talent is even in the dream world can take effect;

— Paradise Bird's father is even younger than the earliest appearance of Paradise Bird in his memory, and his body is still healthy enough; and in this era, the old stand-alone aura that has not been updated is basically It is impossible to have the power of the Holy Order of that intensity. In other words, Russell actually has the ability to "exist only in the past".

So he didn't get the real halo, but when he used the power of the holy order, a halo-like phantom appeared on his head-not the halo of the bird of paradise that was darker than the fluorescent lamp, but the halo that appeared in the 70s and 80s. The brightness of the front!

Because that is exactly the ability that was "fictionalized" by Russell.

The "they" of the period that Russell became did not have this characteristic or ability at all!

"It's not 'an old photo from an album', it's a 'cover of a biography'.

"It's not that the mask of 'Blue Robin' is really crying, but I think it's sad, so I empathize with myself..."

Just analyzing himself, Russell felt chills on his back.

turn out to be…

— Am I such an arrogant person?

"Not right."

Delphinium shook her head, jumped out of the previous topic, and asked from another angle: "Is she really dead because she sent you a suicide note?

"Did you see her body? Did you get any definite press evidence?"

"…No."

Russell thought: "No indeed. She even told me not to go to her."

"That's not necessarily dead... It may just be dead in the 'social aspect'."

"Uncoded."

Russell answered in a low voice.

It is indeed possible.

Sending a suicide note to everyone I know, but not telling them exactly where I died, or where the body will be found, or even letting them find me. It is entirely possible to kill yourself as a dead man on a social level, cut off all traces of the past...and then go downtown, avoiding who and what.

In other words, this possibility is much greater than being silenced by the director.

A person who was originally immersed in darkness decided to run away with a bucket and become a mercenary because he came into contact with something he shouldn't have come into contact with.

This is very reasonable.

That being the case...

So should I go find her?

Originally, Russell was only sad and angry, and his thinking was clear; but after sorting out the nature of his psychic powers, and even doubting Miss Morgan's death, he fell into confusion instead.

But delphiniums can't help with that either.

She just asked Russell to go home and stand by... because this is an investigation about "Ultramarine", even though he just had a physical examination and confirmed that he is not a demon, but because the demon may be someone close to him, he must avoid suspicion.

And Delphinium planned to start with everyone that Russell had contacted this morning, and then check the city's surveillance backwards.

In this way, you can always find some suspicious people you have contacted.

In order to comfort Russell, she also included "Miss Morgan" in her search.

She is the one with the chip after all. As long as she is alive, she will leave traces when she enters and exits any public place... As long as she is found once from the surveillance, Delphinium can follow the clues and pull out the records of all the places she has entered in the last month from the entire Happy Island .

However, Russell had just left the special operations room.

Before he even got out of the building, he suddenly froze in place.

His pupils ignited white flames without warning—

In hallucinations, Russell sees a dialogue in which the protagonist is himself, but never appears in his memory:

"Miss Morgan, Miss Morgan!"

Russell panted and grabbed Morgan's arm.

She was wandering around the executive building, as if waiting for someone. Because his behavior was too deliberate, he was stared at by the people around him.

Hearing Russell's voice, she turned her head in relief.

And Russell immediately asked: "What do you mean by the letter you sent me?

"What do you mean 'No matter what happens, don't come to me'?"

"...Maybe you can also be regarded as a kind of aggressive method?"

"Then I have to say, you win."

Russell said in a deep voice: "Let's talk in another place... This is not a place to talk."

"To your office?"

"No, Delphinium is still at work. I don't want to be scolded."

Russell shrugged and said lightly, "Let's find a quiet place."

But when his voice fell, the illusion in front of him suddenly shattered.

Russell froze for a long time, because the surrounding field was exactly the same as he had imagined—even the angles of the buildings were exactly the same.

The only difference is that there is no "Morgan" here.

And at this time, Ah Zhan, who was passing by in the hallucination and staring at Morgan, also happened to pass by.

Russell's sharp eyes quickly grabbed him~www.wuxiahere.com~ and this kid was startled.

"A Zhan!"

"…Hey?"

The raccoon boy stopped immediately, and asked nervously: "What happened, Mr. Qunqing? Am I going to go on a mission together?"

"Ah, that's not true. I want you to help me recall, have you seen a woman with long black hair? Her soul relative should be a black horse."

"...Should I know? Is it from the Executive Department or..."

"Not from Executive, I mean from strangers. Just today."

"Today's words..."

Ah Zhan tried his best to recall: "I have never seen anyone with black hair, but I have seen a girl with long chestnut hair. She looks young, as if she has committed some crime and has been arrested and is being interrogated in the interrogation room... Are you looking for her?"

"Probably not... Forget it. Act as if I didn't say it."

Russell shook his head.

But he still patted Ah Zhan on the shoulder, and thanked him gently: "Thank you anyway."

"I'm really sorry I didn't help...I'll keep an eye out!"

The raccoon boy felt a little guilty.

"Then it's hard work for you."

Russell nodded with a smile and watched him leave.

He frowned: "Strange..."

When Russell came home, he saw the bad day refreshed in his home.

But something is different from the old days.

He took a look to confirm that he didn't steal his Coke to drink, he didn't even lie on his sofa, and he didn't steal his snacks on a bad day.

Russell's heart skipped a beat.
