Overturned Tower

Vol 2 Chapter 12: Synth's Appeal

After the Shariah War, there was only one mech of each type remaining on each sky island.

After those synthetics stole the "Fire Opal", Tongshen Island couldn't open another one that was exactly the same.

No matter how you look at it, these are the hands of those synthetic humans.

In order to prevent Russell, an out-island agent hired by Shenzhi Heavy Industry to solve the synthetic human problem, from arriving at Tongshen Island, they controlled the Fire Opal in advance to shoot him down at sea.

This should also be to show Shenzhi Heavy Industry that they have the ability to control fire opal.

Fire opal can be invisible for a long time, and it is difficult to detect if it is parked in a high position. Synthetics, on the other hand, can park the fire opal above the target they want to bomb at any time, and launch stealth missiles to blow it up silently.

— This is a threat.

They should be asking for human rights, asking Shenzhi Heavy Industry to make their existence public and give them the right to freedom.

And Ringo was obviously aware of this.

Because of this, her sobs were full of killing intent.

For Russell, it may be just two bodyguards who have never met... But for Ringo, these are the captain and senior she relies on, and they are the people she loves and cherishes.

Russell sighed deeply, heavily.

He had a straight face, and his expression became solemn after a long time.

The indifferent expression that belonged to "Godfather" and not Qun Qing emerged from his face.

"I was thinking about seeing if I could save them...

"But now it seems that I have to reset my views on them."

Even if Russell himself is not counted, that is the life of more than a hundred innocent people.

For the freedom of his own race, he did not hesitate to bomb the airship carrying more than a hundred civilians...

— This kind of behavior has exceeded the limit of Russell's tolerance.

While there's no clear evidence that Synthetics did this... they do have a motive.

It is not yet known where the news that Russell wanted to investigate came from.

But the purpose of these synths is obviously to kill Russell, who was specially invited by Shenzhi Heavy Industry from the outer island, so as to show Shenzhi Heavy Industry their ability to control fire opal.

Although Russell is the "hero" of the outer islands, the people of Tongshen Island are hostile to heroes, and the people of the outer islands have stronger hostility.

If their actions are known to the people of Tongshen Island, some people may applaud them—the hostility of the civilians of Tongshen Island to the seven giants is also the strongest among the seven sky islands.

And if Shenzhi Heavy Industry wanted them in the name of attacking the "heroes of the outer islands", perhaps they would gain the sympathy and support of the people.

The core appeal of these synthetic humans is to obtain human rights and integrate into Tongshen Island.

They do not have the ability to reproduce, and if they want to expand their population, they must transform newborns who have just learned to speak into synthetic humans like them. And it is very reasonable that they cannot get newborns themselves... That is to say, if they want to expand their population, they must occupy the magpie's nest and take the lives of other people's children like cuckoo birds.

Because of this, after they got the Fire Opal, they didn't bomb the streets of Tongshen Island.

Because they are worried about being contradicted and hated by the locals... Their original position is already very delicate.

But it doesn't matter if you are from the Outer Islands.

Although they can't be called "human beings", they are also infected with the unique xenophobic habits of Tongshen Islanders.

But ordinary Tongshen islanders, although they disdain to contact with other sky island people. However, on the surface, at least in front of the public, they will not directly attack the residents of other sky islands. And these synthetic humans only exist as experimental materials, without any education. This makes their moral sense rather thin.

Even from an emotional point of view, Russell knew that they were just a group of poor people destined to be abandoned by worthlessness... But Russell's rationality told him that it was indeed possible for them to do such a thing.

And this also means that these synths are easy to deceive.

Malt Wine can know this kind of thing, which means that their decision to attack the agents of the outer islands has been understood by the mages.

Perhaps these mages and uncoded people also participated in or even led this conspiracy.

If it is possible to bring the malt wine to Tongshen Island, maybe Russell can do things more conveniently.

But Russell thought about it all night and gave up the idea.

—Because he is only an "Ultramarine" after all, not a "Godfather".

Malt wine and strangling these mages are not so easy to control.

Russell has already figured out the strangulation... sooner or later he will betray. Although on the surface, he claims that as long as the godfather can suppress him, he will not betray him, but the way the mage improves his ability determines that his desire will gradually become stronger until he can't control it.

But malt wine is different.

No matter from any point of view, she is loyal to the godfather. But she always had her own ideas, and the godfather even beat her several times, but he didn't change her.

Probably the last time the Godfather talked to her, Ultramarine was mentioned, and Ale learned that Ultramarine was a friend of the Godfather in Uptown. Because of this, when "Qunqing" was plotted against, she would directly rescue Russell.

During the whole process, she did not consult the godfather, nor did she tell the only "silence" who could contact the godfather proactively.

This is obviously her plan to go to the godfather to ask for a reward after the matter is done, and if it is not done, she may not even say it.

But on the other hand, as a sorcerer and a high-ranking member of the Helping Society, she took the initiative to hijack the airship alone and sent herself to the hero "Ultramarine"... If she failed, the godfather would probably kill her too.

From this ambivalence, Russell can only read that unusually strong self-confidence and self-esteem.

If Russell acts with Malt Wine as "Ultramarine", perhaps Malt Wine will try to control Ultramarine's actions in turn.

And Russell didn't want to tell her that "ultramarine is the godfather"... With malt wine's action and courage, maybe one day he would directly find the executive department.

...Russell didn't want delphinium to be misunderstood.

Moreover, Russell would not think that the three "bodyguards" were there to protect himself.

That was clearly the eye of Amyrus. Rather than protecting himself, it was more to monitor what Russell was doing on Tongshen Island.

So after putting Ringo to sleep, Russell went back to the Tower of Babel, reported Delphinium's safety in advance, and gave her a vaccination.

Fortunately, Delphinium hadn't heard about it because of the delay in news from different sky islands—when Happy Island reported this news, it probably had to be the morning news the day after tomorrow.

Otherwise, just thinking about Delphinium's frightened and desperate expression when he saw the news, Russell would feel anxious.

Knowing about this~www.wuxiahere.com~Bad Day also decided to follow invisibly at that time.

Originally, after learning that Russell had three bodyguards, he decided to go directly to Tongshen Island to wait for Russell... But after learning the news, Bad Day couldn't sit still.

And Russell is worried about the safety of the bad day, so it is best not to follow him...

Because he is not sure whether those people will shoot down the airship again.

Although Russell could turn around and return at this time, he didn't intend to escape in such a desperate way.

He was also on fire.

Whoever did it all has to pay for it.

But he's not going to drag Bad Day down for something like this...

So Bad Sun had no choice but to explain to Russell a little bit about his psionic ability "Dead Sun" for the first time.
