Overturned Tower

Hearing Huachu's words, Russell raised his water glass and took a sip.

He tilted his head slightly, and asked back: "Who am I, will it affect our conversation?"

"I think it still will."

Huachu propped her chin with her left hand, and replied softly, "It's better to say, this is already part of the treatment."

"Has the bad one come?"

"Did you say keep quiet? He came here before, but the treatment has to be done another day...I have to deal with you first."

Huachu said with a smile: "His problems can't be cured once or twice, but you are different... I am used to dealing with simple things first."

"Then, I am Russell."

Russell replied seriously: "Whether it is Ultramarine or a barber, they are all Russell."

"...So that's the answer."

The corners of Hua Chu's mouth rose slightly: "It's quite expected.

"In that case, you can treat me as an elder."

"elder?"

"Yes."

Hua Chu said with a smile: "Your mother recognized me as an older sister back then."

"…elder sister?"

Russell paused, hesitated to speak.

As far as the lifespan of an elf is concerned, Huachu is about, at least...however, it must be more than a hundred years old, right?

After thinking about it, he still didn't dare to say it.

After all, he and the inferior have to trouble Huachu to treat them...

But in front of "similar" like Huachu, communication doesn't need words at all.

She just glanced at Russell's expression and understood what Russell was thinking.

"Don't be so scruples. Longevity species and human beings have completely different views on lifespan.

"Some human beings who have at least looked younger through cosmetic surgery, surgery, etc., feel angry and annoyed when they are said to be old...It is actually because they have a hidden desire for death in their hearts. of fear.

"The so-called beauty and maintenance is a race against time. Its essence is to escape from the **** of death and the ravages of time... But we elves don't shy away from such things, right?

"When you say we're older, instead of being annoyed at being 'looked old', we're proud of the fact that 'we've had a long life and time'.

"The more you lack something, the more you get angry at being questioned about pretending to 'have that thing.' It's ridiculous and pathetic."

Putting her hand on her chin, Huachu casually spoke words that could touch people's hearts.

"Simply put, it's urgent."

Russell briefly summarized.

Hua Chu burst out laughing suddenly, clapped his hands together and made a clear voice: "You are right!

"But you don't have to chat with me in such a formal way...

"If I'm not wrong, you should be able to perfectly control your expression, right?

"You and I have similar talents. If you, Russell, have any thoughts that you don't want me to know, I won't be able to see them so easily... What you reveal are thoughts and ideas that you don't want to hide.

"You just didn't say those words directly out of politeness. You hoped to use this topic to test 'what kind of elf' I belong to.

"Or...you are just testing my abilities?"

Huachu not only read out the thoughts that appeared on Russell's face, but even easily read out the deeper thoughts hidden by Russell.

Saying that, the elf girl with pink hair had a delicate and perfect smile on her face.

That is a highly accomplished "smile". Just looking at it will make you feel happy and like a spring breeze, as if you can perfectly absorb happiness and happiness from it.

— but this is for ordinary people.

Russell, however, could neither read nor recognize any real emotion from it.

Empty and pale, like a thin mask.

...Is there such a technology?

Russell stared at the "smile" on Huachu's face, thoughtfully.

A business smile gradually appeared on his face.

After trying about three or four times, the same smile as Huachu appeared on his face.

Russell, who was already handsome, looked like a carefree and pure girl at the moment.

But he was not satisfied with this, but continued to adjust his face.

After another four or five times, the expression on his face gradually melted and turned into another more sunny smile.

It is a smile that reminds people of "heroes", enables people to believe from the bottom of their hearts, and gives strength and hope to desperate people.

—But apart from that, even Huachu couldn't read Russell's thoughts and thoughts at the moment.

"...Your talent is even more terrifying than I imagined."

The innocent and carefree false smile on Huachu's face also gradually subsided.

She couldn't help admiring: "Your learning ability is even stronger than your mother... If I read correctly, your ability to imitate other people's talents should be one of the essence of your personality.

"You may be more dangerous than you think yourself, Russell."

Hua Touch said, and left from his chair.

She walked around behind Russell and hugged him tightly.

The pink-haired elf lady hugged Russell, and took a deep breath as if she was sniffing Russell's body.

"...Are you sucking cats, Miss Hanato?"

"Not."

Huazhu said lightly: "You don't think...you look like a cat, do you, Little Russell?

"Also, humans like cats because cats conform to human aesthetics, just like humans conform to orca whales' aesthetics. But we elves are all transformed from humans... Oh, right. Just in case I ask , did your mother tell you about this?"

"...my mother didn't tell me, but I got it from other people."

"Bad day?"

"almost."

Russell nodded slightly.

He knew about it from Grandma Lan, and it could probably be regarded as a bad day telling him.

"You're very popular with elves, Russell. But it's not because you're cute, or because your soul relatives are small cats.

"It's because of your fluid, malleable personality.

"Once you become an elf, your personality will be solidified. Because of this, many elves like what they liked a thousand years ago, and they like what they liked a hundred years ago; the mistakes they would have made a hundred years ago will still be made today.

"A personality that can constantly flow and change, and you who can absorb the advantages of others and learn to grow... This kind of 'variability' alone is full of fresh flavors.

"Elves like children and hate old people~www.wuxiahere.com~ because children can smell this kind of 'possibility of growth'. That is something that we can no longer get back after we become elves... "

Huachu stretched out her hand, gradually moving from Russell's back to behind his shoulder, and then to the back of his neck.

Like holding water, her slender hands held Russell's neck. Just a little bit of finger pressure can make Russell faint.

"Those elves with names may still be full of love and compassion for you. Because they can get 'growth' in another way... Just like you said before, they are not so 'urgent'.

"But for us ordinary elves, it's not so much 'love' as jealousy."

She whispered, her forehead lightly touching the back of Russell's head.

Hua Chu said softly: "Don't talk, Russell.

"Close your eyes and listen with your heart."

Russell obeyed Huachu's words and closed his eyes.

But in that pitch-black field of vision, he seemed to hear something vaguely.

It's like someone is whispering in your ear. It's like lying on the bed half asleep and half awake, and someone is whispering something outside the window...

The voice seemed to grow louder and clearer. But Russell still couldn't hear or understand what those words were saying at all.

The next moment, Russell woke up suddenly.

But when he trembled and opened his eyes—Russell suddenly realized that he was not in Miss Huayu's office.

He was alone, appearing in the "temple" where he awakened his psionic power.

－－－－－Off Topic－－－－－

I don't know why I was suddenly so sleepy today. After waking up in the morning, I couldn't help falling asleep again.

Now it's just over lunch and continue to write, and then I'm a little sleepy...

Woohoo, finish the second chapter first and then take a nap...
