Overturned Tower

Accompanied by weak vibration and dizziness, the airship gradually moved away from the ground.

The snow-capped mountains and fields bathed in the sun, and the clean and elegant steel city seem to be shining with holy light under the sunlight at noon, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.

And the densely packed high-rise factories in the lower city are like countless sharp thorns, piercing in the shadow of this empty island.

Even in "daylight" they are still lit.

Lights of different colors appeared in the high-rise factories that were upside down at the bottom of the floating city. After a long distance, it looks like a group of monsters crouching on the factory and crawling in the shadows opened a pair of soul-stirring pupils. Just looking at it will give people a strong sense of uneasiness.

But Russell knew that the residents of the lower city never cared about day and night.

As long as they lived in the Lower Town, it was always night—the day without the sun was still a kind of darkest night.

Russell looked at the Isle of Happiness receding away outside the cabin, with his right hand resting his chin.

He couldn't help sighing.

After half a year, he boarded the first-class cabin of the airship again.

If you put it in the animation, it's like the end of the first season or the beginning of the second season, which forms a wonderful contrast with the first scene. Just like the "duel of gratitude", once the classic BGM of the past is played, there will be a power called "feeling" that will make people cry.

Because all of this seems to be the same as half a year ago, it has changed and it seems to have not changed——

…Even the fact that Bad Sun was sitting in front of him was perfectly reproduced.

"Why are you following me?"

Russell said angrily: "It's rare that I want to really enjoy the first-class treatment of an airship."

"Your girlfriend asked me to come."

Bad Ri sat in front of Russell in a symmetrical posture, dragging his chin with his left hand as if looking in a mirror, and said lazily: "Anyway, if I have an extra mouth, I won't be able to eat up your food."

There is no doubt that he opened the door out of thin air again this time.

Russell was a little weak: "I always feel that seeing you is not very auspicious..."

So far, it can be said to be a perfect replica of half a year ago, but Russell sincerely hopes that it will stop here.

At least, I hope there will be no more accidents with the airship this time...

Russell called Delphinium after he left from director Amirus.

He had to make it clear to Delphinium that he wasn't going home tonight. Otherwise, seeing that she has not returned home late, she may be anxious or panic.

It's like opening the door and letting your cat go out to play by itself. Usually the cat will come back to eat on time before dinner, but one day it suddenly didn’t come back in the middle of the night, and I would worry about the cat’s accident.

Russell and Delphinium did not say something inappropriate for others to know because the phone could be "tapped along the way" by those colleagues in the cybersecurity department in the cyber world. It's just that director Amirus has urgent business and asked him to travel on business. It is roughly estimated that I will not be able to go home for about a week.

Delphinium didn't talk nonsense about "Don't be a hero", "Save your life first", and "Take care of yourself first".

She knew that if Russell really encountered a strong enemy that had to be dealt with desperately, and saw a person who had to be saved in front of her eyes, she would definitely rush forward without thinking.

Because Russell was that kind of guy.

Or... because of this, she began to like Russell.

All the changes came from Russell's first day of employment.

Standing alone in the crowd like a shadow, the immature cat-eared boy like a boy was willing to risk his life to dismantle the trap left by the prisoner for the sake of a child he had never met on his first day of work in the Special Operations Department. .

In fact, there is a unique solution.

That is to completely ignore the problems left by the veil of ignorance, and go directly to evacuate all the guests... Although it may cause a stampede accident, the "child" wearing the iron mask will probably be the only one who will be killed in the end.

Rationally speaking, this is the best and most correct way to deal with it.

But Russell didn't investigate at all, and didn't know who the prisoner was and what he did... Even when he wasn't sure whether the other party would inject viruses into the mask, or leave unanswered dead questions on purpose, he didn't hesitate. I moved my hand.

—Coincidentally, if Delphinium had been here instead of Russell, she would have done the same.

It is the radiant self-confidence, the courage to stand up despite being deeply aware of the degree of danger... plus the sense of responsibility that will put oneself in a dangerous place even if it is just to save one person.

They are the same kind of people. It's like another me in the world.

It was then that Delphinium began to pay attention to the new hero she had considered a "troublesome".

So Delphinium was able to understand every decision Russell made.

She also believed that Russell never needed her own advice.

Russell would think of everything she could think of; what she was afraid of, even persuasion would be useless.

So the delphinium just said: "If you come back safely, I will give you a present."

But she turned around and contacted Bad Day, asking her real uncle to help and protect Russell who was going on a long trip.

He was alone, and he was going to Tongshen Island... How could this be possible?

In Happy Island, there are basically no people who don't know Russell. No matter where he goes, he can meet acquaintances who know him. Because of this, Russell didn't have to worry about where Delphinium wandered, because someone would always see him, someone would always know where he went...and she would always find Russell.

Don't even bother to investigate. No matter where Russell goes, he will be discovered by netizens as soon as possible. You can know where your cat has gone by looking through the major forums a little bit.

— But that is Tongshen Island.

After Delphinium joined the Tower of Babel, she also knew a little about the past. Because of this, she also knew about the "Pale Incident" that happened on Tongshen Island.

To this day, there are still many Tongshen Islanders who are still worried about the fact that other sky islands did not lend a helping hand when their family was facing a crisis.

Although other sky islands have no obligation to help them in terms of law and justice, they still cannot accept it emotionally.

If the people of other sky islands can't survive, they will choose to go to other sky islands. This is also the only way to spread news among empty islands with no internet and no private transactions.

Those who want better medical conditions but are worried that they will lose their jobs will go to Holy Blood Island, where there will never be a shortage of high-paying drug testers; those who want to see natural landscapes, real animals, and keep real pets will go to Taoyuan Island; if you want to work and entertain, you can come to Happy Island...

But only the residents of Tongshen Island, no matter how hard life is, would rather starve to death than move to other empty islands.

This is not because they have enough sense of identity and belonging to Tongshen Island, but because they have a stronger sense of xenophobia. Even if you only hear the accent of the foreign sky island, you may even be discriminated against in Tongshen Island-it's the kind of taxi driver or tour guide who cheats you and can't find anyone to speak for you. Because of this, Tongshen Island has the least number of foreign tourists among the seven empty islands.

If one of the seven empty islands was the most dangerous to Russell, it would undoubtedly be Tongshen Island.

In Tongshen Island, it is not a big deal for the heroes of other empty islands to disappear here... Tongshen Island is different from Happy Island, their entertainment industry is not developed, and their idols do not have such a high status.

For them, the "heroes" promoted by the directors of the head office are nothing more than "agents" used by those directors to kill people and do some dirty work.

Instead, they harbor an attitude of malice, contempt, and jealousy toward their so-called "heroes."

For them, the only good heroes are dead heroes. Those "heroes~www.wuxiahere.com~ recognized by the board of directors can all be regarded as thugs of Shenzhi Heavy Industry.

Delphinium has to worry about Russell's safety.

He is not only an outlander, but also a "hero" and an idol. Even wealthy big stars can make money while sitting.

In name, he still came to help Shenzhi Heavy Industry to do the dirty work, and he was eloquent—in the philosophy of Tongshen Island people, it would be said to be a characteristic of a liar and a braggart.

This can be said to be a taboo in multiple senses.

Delphinium even wondered if Amyrus was going to drag Russell to the island of God to kill him...

In fact, it's not just her, Bad Day is also worried about it.

His understanding of Tongshen Island is a bit deeper than Russell and Delphinium...

...After all, Bad Day really killed an elf director of Shenzhi Heavy Industry with his own hands. That was the first elf director he killed, and it was also the root cause of his becoming a wanted criminal.
