Overturned Tower

【Overturned Tower】【】

"What happened?"

Delphinium keenly noticed the smile on the corner of Alice's mouth.

She stretched out her hands to support Alice's cheeks, pressed her thumbs on both sides of Alice's mouth, and manually smoothed out her snickering like stealing a fish.

"Have you met anyone you know?"

she asked in a low voice.

Alice didn't answer.

She just pulled out a data cable from the forearm of her left hand and handed it to Delphinium.

Delphinium also suddenly realized, quietly took the data cable, and inserted it into his waist.

As the former eldest lady, Alice's degree of prosthetic body is very low.

Her arm is not a prosthetic body, it is just equipped with an interface similar to that of an elf under the skin.

After completing the physical link with the Delphinium, they can communicate spiritually.

【How to say? Is there a problem with that person? 】

Delphinium asked curiously, and at the same time there were mental fluctuations of worry and concern: [I see he seems very shocked. 】

【Should be an acquaintance of Alice】

Alice replied in her heart: [I sensed that besides guilt, there is also strong love in his heart]

【…Speaking of which, could it be your father? 】

Delphinium's mind flashed, and such an idea appeared.

The plot of "seeing that the son grows up to look very similar to the dead wife" appeared in her mind, and subconsciously passed it on to Alice.

Immediately afterwards, she immediately realized what idea she had passed.

Immediately, she covered her cheeks with flushed faces, and remained silent.

Alice on the opposite side was also shocked.

She was silent for a while, but she still decided to give Delphinium a face and not to oppress her too much... so she lightly brought up the topic.

Naturally, such thoughts and decisions were also passed on to Delphinium.

This is the inherent shortcoming of the physical link... because the speed of thought must be faster than reason.

The so-called "talking but not the brain" refers to such a situation.

This is why in the era when people can easily extract their thoughts, most of the letters between people are input through virtual keyboards... because the process of inputting text is actually a process of thinking, deliberating, and sorting out logic with the brain. The stronger the logical ability, the more obvious the difference between language logic and text logic—so some video hosts who have made interesting videos, or authors with extremely strict logic may not be eloquent in reality. people.

Because the part of the brain that responds directly to events is not the same part as the part that weaves answers logically after deliberation.

Relaxed chats tend to lean toward the former, while conversations with clients lean more toward the latter. As for sending a letter, a prudent person will even check the text several times, trying to ensure that the details and etiquette are correct, and this almost completely abandons the "gut reaction".

But in the physical link, because the speed of message transmission is "instant", it must be 100% the former.

Therefore, if it is through a physical link, it is even possible to directly torture the other party - as long as you open a lie detector software, you can learn the real answer that cannot be concealed by analyzing the other party's instinctive reaction. It's the same as directly analyzing the opposite's brainwaves through an instrument, and it's too late to even deceive yourself.

【Overturned Tower】【】

Only the most trusted friends, lovers and relatives will be physically connected to each other.

Completely pure friendship usually only occurs among children. When people's sociality becomes stronger, the three views become complicated, and there are subtle differences between friends... Whether it is friends of the same **** or the opposite sex, it is impossible to have no complaints between each other.

The vast majority of friends in this world are not absolutely compatible. Rather, at least one party is silently enduring, tolerant, and giving in...by accepting and recognizing the other party, and working hard to change themselves, to maintain this relationship.

In other words, a sincere relationship is built on white "lies".

The physical link can dismantle all the ostentatious appearances formed by language, expressions, and actions.

The resentment, dissatisfaction, misunderstanding, conflict accumulated in the heart... will be passed on to the other party in an instant without any reservation.

Therefore, another purpose of physical link is the most practical for the general public.

— That's the Brawl Accelerator.

In many cases, quarrels between the two parties are actually caused by trivial matters. But in the middle, you may start to turn over old accounts, or start to get emotional, which will eventually lead to shortness of breath and unscrupulous words-and in the middle and late stages of the quarrel process, it is no longer dominated by logic, but by emotion. up. Because the rising anger will distort the original purpose... That's the reason why anger hits the heart.

And this requires a process and time.

Through a physical link, it is equivalent to finishing all the words at high speed in a few seconds. And at this time, the body hasn't even reacted yet... so emotions haven't overwhelmed logic, and it's easier to reconcile.

That is to say, when the body is not paying attention, you have already finished getting angry and arguing. When the two sides have reached a consensus, the anger that can blind reason has not even been brewed...

On the one hand, it is for keeping in good health. After all, being angry can really hurt the body; on the other hand, it is because people don’t have the time to quarrel.

Through the physical link, Delphinium fully experienced all the changes in Alice's mood.

She would blush, not just because of embarrassment or shyness, but also because of the experience of intimate communication and heartbeat, which made her blush and heartbeat.

It's like putting a paper cup phone on your chest and transmitting the sound of your heartbeat into the ear of the other party.

Although the two ends of the line are separated, it will be as if the other party puts his ear on his chest and listens to the heartbeat quietly.

Obviously far apart. Clearly separated by air.

The distance between the two hearts seems to be closer than when they hug each other.

So at this time, the line connecting the two parties...became an invisible line representing "fate".

【Not that man】

Alice sent her equally complicated emotions: [I can't spare that man... I've seen his photo, and it doesn't match at all. And I don’t feel that way either]

And at this time, Delphinium keenly sensed... Contrary to what Russell said, the hatred and hatred accumulated in the pumping thread of mind is actually not too strong.

The more intense emotions are actually confusion, grievance and stubbornness.

【Overturned Tower】【】

It's like... Russell never regarded that man as his real father who gave birth to him. But I also think that it is a very important person to me.

He just didn't understand what the other party was thinking, didn't know what happened that year...so he felt confused.

And he was like an abandoned cat, with a faint, unobvious grievance in his heart. And this kind of grievance is not all for himself, but part of it is the empathy for feeling wronged for Alice.

And the emotion that accounts for the most—it's actually stubbornness. In other words, it is to prove your determination.

Compared with the hatred of killing that man, it was more like punching him so hard that the man who looked down on him knelt on the ground, looking up in amazement at the cub that he had abandoned as a burden in the past. I feel that he has become stronger than himself now.

It was a kind of tenacious mood called "not admitting defeat", which was quite the style of a big boy.

...It turns out that Russell also has such feelings.

Delphinium had such an idea at the first reaction, and it was received by Alice simultaneously.

【Why can't I have it? I'm also a normal young man】

The other party was obviously aggrieved.

[Because compared to people of the same age, I think you are more like a high-ranking existence who has never touched the bottom.]

In delphinium's cognition, such things as "desire to win and lose", "self-esteem", "desire for performance", and "sense of existence" seem to have never been related to Russell... This kind of workplace leadership can be easily used for free prostitution The hot-blooded young man who just graduated, tried and tested the sweet pancake, but he couldn't feed Russell's mouth at all. No matter how you feed it, the cat just turns its head and says no, and the stuffer can't get it in.

But now, he has shown very clear "self-esteem" and "pride", a desire to prove himself.

Now Delphinium finally realizes...

Russell is not completely indifferent to fame and fortune, and doesn't care about that kind of thing at all. It's because what he cares about is actually not in the workplace, fame and fortune.

He didn't want to be famous to become a hero, nor did he want to outshine others to show his otherworldly talents.

Nor is it for the empty reason of "proving oneself", or the superior pity of "the strong will help the weak".

Instead, it's extremely simple... looking up at the sky.

Unswervingly move towards higher ground.

As for who he passed and what he crossed... These "goals" that people value the most are not cared by Russell.

"…I see."

Delphinium murmured.

She finally understood why she always felt that Russell didn't seem to care about anything, but he wasn't a willful guy like Bad Day.

Russell has always had a very clear goal.

It's just that he doesn't boast of surpassing others as an achievement.

She finally understood why she fell in love with Russell.

…because they are fundamentally the same type of person.

Delphinium is actually not greedy for the power of the position of minister, nor does she want to be on the board of directors.

She never went to the company cafeteria because she didn't want to listen to others' flattery; she didn't like to go shopping, but she didn't want to be stared at by people with fiery eyes, and she didn't like to be approached by others.

【Overturned Tower】【】

But other than that, she works hard every day...Even after the two angels entered the special execution department, she is still the most serious employee in the execution department; although she never sees anyone, she seriously puts on makeup and makeup for herself every day. Skin care and clothing are always carefully selected. In my spare time, I buy some clothes and cosmetics for myself online. And if she eats something unhealthy, or eats too much, she will seriously go to the gym to maintain her figure.

Delphinium is not the kind of figure that will not get fat no matter how much she eats... Just by looking at her father's size, one can know that the genes of the puppet cat are still very stable.

Although she is gluttonous, she has been exercising.

And she maintains her figure, grooms herself, and takes makeup seriously, never to please others—but to please herself.

She works hard every day, and even sacrifices herself for the sake of the people... It's not for fame or promotion. She's just doing what she thinks is right, seeing it as her daily routine.

Not to surpass anything, nor to defeat anything.

Not to prove, nor to show off.

—That is the way of life of the lonely and strong. Everything is taken for granted.

If you want to talk about the biggest difference... that is the gap in talent between the two. She was already considered a very good person, but she was still not as good as Russell.

If Delphinium was a man, then her perfect form would surely be someone like Russell.

Psychologically, that's called the "Animus." A collection of masculine images in women's minds.

But they are not all the same.

It's also Delphinium's own self-confidence and self-esteem—she can't be anyone else's mirror image.

Because of this, she is similar enough to Russell, but different.

The biggest difference between them is that delphiniums are less dependent on interpersonal relationships. She is the type who can feel peace of mind by doing what she wants to do without saying a word every day if she needs it.

Russell, on the other hand, was the exact opposite.

His ability to analyze the heterogeneity of others in an instant, on the contrary, proves that he yearns for a true friend...yearning for someone who can "understand" his own essence, and agree with and accept it.

When Delphinium thought of this, she suddenly raised her head.

Alice, who was connected to her, opened her eyes simultaneously and raised her head.

Through Alice's virtual image, she finds Russell's shadow in her...

Yes, that is not an illusion.

— Only in Delphinium's eyes, Alice turned back to the original Russell.

When Delphinium fully understood Russell, the shell that emerged from Russell's body suddenly became clearly visible in her eyes.

The one sitting in front of her was not Alice.

It was Russell wearing the [Alice] mask.

No, that still doesn't seem to be quite...

Delphinium stared hard into Russell's eyes, feeling vaguely as if she had fallen into an abyss of chaos.

She seemed to have come to a bright sanctuary, looking at the light-transmitting place that looked like a window, like a portrait, and like a mirror.

【Overturned Tower】【】

From it, she seemed to see another person on a deeper level.

A boy she's never met...

With black shoulder-hanging hair, narrow and thin shoulders. Thin and thin, with a calm and timid temperament... A young man with the fragrance of orange peel and cedar on his body, and a beauty comparable to his own. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

That is another side of Russell who is always full of self-confidence, as if he can do anything.

It is the most fragile "crab meat" hidden in a strong shell called "Russell".

...is this, the real Russell?

Delphinium suddenly realized. Then came relief.

It turns out that the last corresponding point is here. What she really likes - the core of the soul that is deeper than "Ultramarine" and "Russell", so it looks like this...

Once upon a time...before she was forced to have a "lethal amount of love", she was also an ordinary girl.

The timidity hidden under the extraordinary shell, the ordinary core... and the correspondence between "longing for love" and "giving and giving love".

The two looked at each other calmly almost simultaneously.

Delphinium suddenly felt as if he had returned to the confused Russell he saw when he looked down from a high place through the prison-like window railing when he first met. At that time, the two were still strangers, but she had a throbbing that she didn't even understand.

There is no element of affection in the eyes, but a kind of tranquility.

【Yes, I finally met...someone who truly understands me】

【My understanding, the one who unmasks...】

Alice's voice, Russell's whisper, ethereal sounded in Delphinium's heart.

Accompanied by a feeling of relief and wanting to cry, it lingered in the hearts of the two of them at the same time:

【You finally found me, Flotie】

Ah yes.

I found you.
