Overturned Tower

There seemed to be countless high and low white candles burning around him, and there were many photo frames of different sizes around him.The light of the candles was a pale color reminiscent of skeletons, giving off a cold radiance.

The other photo frames were surrounded by clouds of black air, only the black air around the two photo frames in front of him gradually dissipated and became clear.

The frame is blank.

There is nothing inside.

And Russell instinctively reached out his hand in the hallucination, wanting to touch one of the photo frames.But at that moment, his consciousness was completely sucked in.

He saw a silent black and white world with only outlines.His vision can penetrate all obstacles and become a 360-degree spherical vision.

The wall, the floor, the table, his own body, and the guy hiding behind the door... are all roughly outlined by white lines in the black world.

But in this black and white world, there are some light spots of different colors.

The closest point of light is Russell's chest.

It seemed that something was reflecting a faint green light.Then came the back of Russell's own head, glowing pale like a skeleton.

And not far from his side, at the back of the invisible man's head, there was also a blue flame burning.It is also surrounded by a lavender halo that fades with time.

About thirty steps away from the door, there was a strong silhouette approaching here, the back of his head was flashing bright yellow flames.

And among the only eight first-class cabins, there were five first-class cabins with lights burning.But all of them were non-moving shimmers, and there was a room with two burning balls—judging from the height, one of the dark purple shimmers lay on the table, and the other dark green flame stood beside him.And in the captain's cabin there were two flames.

In a farther place, there seemed to be some sporadic points of light... But it was already difficult for Russell to see their outlines clearly among the dense white lines.

The position of this light is the position of the personal chip implanted in the back of the brain of each person at birth.

There are two kinds of light, one is quiet and stable, and the other is pulsating.

The man hiding in Russell's room, the light from his chip was the same as that of the robbers, dancing like a candle blown by the wind.

And if recently...

Russell's consciousness instinctively touched the pendant on his chest.

That's the mother's chip.

As the crystal decoration of the shell, there is no damage.But that chip seemed to melt, it melted on Russell's chest, flowed in, and merged into one.

And one of the two picture frames in front of Russell suddenly burst into a green light.

It's like lighting a photo with fire, and the video of burning and curling into ashes is played in reverse - in the ashes of nothingness, the smiling face of the mother emerges in one of the photo frames.

Russell looked over subconsciously.

The moment he "looked" at the picture frame.

All the white candlelight around him turned into green at the same time.

The moment Russell was dazzled by the overflowing green light, he suddenly woke up from the hallucination.

A mask without facial features appeared on his face.Immediately, a dark green flame gushed out from under the mask, sweeping across the whole body in the blink of an eye.

But the flame was not hot, and even made him feel warm.Reminds him of the warmth of a mother's embrace.

And after the flames dissipated, Russell's body was reorganized into a familiar but unfamiliar posture——

Chapter 3 The Object That Doesn't Live

"—Idiot, you just superimposed on the superfluous."

The captain's reprimand sounded through the trigger's intercom.

The wireless bone conduction headset implanted on the forehead and deep into the skull is not only concealed, but also can make normal calls in quiet areas without the Internet, and the content of the call is not easy to be eavesdropped by others.

This is undoubtedly contraband.

At the same time, it is also one of the deposits given by the rather generous "customer" this time.

"I'm just trying to get those rich guys into trouble."

The bear-eared mercenary code-named "Trigger" couldn't help retorting in a muffled voice: "Since I said that, it will be like a thorn in their hearts..."

While muttering, he pushed open the door without hesitation.

There is no need to beware of the defensive forces inside.

The induced virus from the Tower of Babel provided by the big boss this time can even penetrate the highest level of protection "ICE".

In fact, a director of the head office was attacked by the Tower of Babel two weeks ago.

His bodyguards were all paralyzed by the virus, and none of them survived.This incident has gone crazy among the mercenaries in the lower city.

——Even those steel monsters whose prosthetic body is close to [-]% can't get rid of this virus once they are recruited.

It's a pity that the virus they got this time has a self-killing effect and can only be used for this operation.

Otherwise, if he sells this virus, the money he gets may be enough for him to wash his hands and retire...

click.

After the trigger entered the door, he locked the first-class door with his backhand.

The mechanical lock of the first-class cabin issued a long "beep" alarm sound and emitted a dazzling red light.

And as the trigger brushed the door handle with a black magnetic card, its siren stopped abruptly.

Although the people inside will no longer resist or speak, there may still be people passing by outside... It is also necessary to close the door casually.

"Captain, I think so..."

Trigger carefully explained: "After we steal their memories, it is impossible to jump off the airship directly. We will definitely die if we fall into the sea. We still have to mix with ordinary passengers and get off the airship normally.

"However, if any first-class passenger has a very high status and is too courageous to take the risk of not being able to catch us and make things worse, block the airport and forcibly retrieve the memories of all passengers, we will most likely It's revealing."

"so?"

"So I have to remind them that as long as this incident gets out, they will be scrupled by their superiors and suspect that they have lost some important information. At the same time, they may be attacked by their colleagues. In this way, they have to calm down and think... "

"Do you think that a superior person who can achieve that status will not think of such a thing?"

The captain snorted coldly: "Do you think you are smarter than them all?"

"No, no, Captain—"

Trigger suddenly felt a chill down his spine, he didn't bother to check the house, and quickly argued: "Listen to me, I have a deeper plan...Even if I warned you, they wouldn't say it. In the end, someone is bound to say something.

"As long as someone spreads the word 'the memory of one of the first-class passengers in this class has been stolen', all the people on this airship will suspect each other. Even if it is only suspicion without any Evidence can also be used as an excuse. In this way, the happy island will become chaotic. The plan of the 'monkey-faced eagle' group can be carried out more smoothly..."

"—pretending to be smart."

"……Hey?"

"You're thinking too easily, Trigger."

A cold and disappointed voice came from the earphones: "If we do this, it will indeed allow us to leave the plane more safely. But you got the most important point wrong - the Tower of Babel doesn't want to be low-key, they want to be more high-key and more it is good."

"How is it possible, they are now wanted by the Big Seven with the highest standards..."

"Because they are not memory thieves at all, idiots! This is just an excuse for the elves to want them... Their real crime is trying to get in touch with history!"

In the earphones, the captain's voice suddenly became a little louder, and even spilled out.

His voice was full of harsh coldness: "Your ambition blinded your eyes, Trigger. You wanted to take my position, so you started to cross your team member's identity and try to directly support other teams to make meritorious deeds." Bar."

"I do not have……"

"Are you trying to take away my position? Or are you planning to become an 'aide'? Then I can only explain that your so-called wisdom is nothing but cleverness.

"—When you go back, you can apologize to the boss yourself."

Trigger's pupils dilated with fear for an instant.

He could never have guessed that the "Tower of Babel" who were psychic hackers and memory thieves turned out to be legendary historians...

You must know that the study of history is an absolute taboo, and even the noble elves are not allowed to touch it.

Studying history is the only taboo and the only death penalty written in the code.Even trying to sort out the timeline in ancient literary works and summarize it into a book is the greatest crime. As long as you try to touch, understand, and learn history, you will be sentenced to death.

The past that people know can only be those things passed on by word of mouth... It can be talked at will, but it must not become words and fall on paper.

That is absolute death - erasing the existence of this person, making "it" forgotten by all.

"Pawns in my position know that the Tower of Babel is in touch with history, and these first-class bigwigs must know better. They must be aware of the mistakes in your words, which means that you have directly proved that 'We are not Babel. Tower of Babel'. Then we can't throw the matter of our stolen memory on the Tower of Babel... Soon they will also deduce who is the person whose memory was stolen."

"All channels, plan changes. Search the memory of the first-class passengers, and report to me as soon as you find the target. You don't need to copy the target's memory, just stun the target and take it to the captain's room. You can also remove the target's limbs depending on the situation. Others All passengers were injected with chronic poison, and the onset time was set to 10 minutes later."

The captain's voice sounded flat: "Everyone, please reply."

"...Yes, received."

Trigger responded hoarsely.

He grinned, as if he had eaten something spicy.

……how to say.I regret it somewhat.

Is it self-defeating because you are too active...

His eyes, hidden behind the mask, were gradually filled with killing intent.

It's okay, it's not a desperate situation.

As long as these people can't go back, no one will know that such stupid words are said by themselves.He could easily throw this blame on the other two people...

...As long as the boss doesn't retrieve his memory, he can be trusted.

He snorted resentfully, and looked back into the room.

Sitting in this first-class cabin was a cat-eared girl with a gentle temperament and a petite figure.

Considering that the body size of the relatives who are small cats is relatively small, maybe it is not a girl, but a young woman.

She wears twin ponytails, one strand in front of her left shoulder and a thicker strand behind her.She looks only fourteen or fifteen years old, but she feels like a virtuous and gentle mother.

At this moment, she was sitting on the seat with her eyes closed tightly, her head bowed.

In front of her was an open box.

—with a gun in it, the safety on.

Trigger's pupils shrank suddenly.

He knew the gun.

Peacemaker, a shotgun in portable mode.The gun body and barrel can be carried separately, and after assembly, it can be turned into a long gun, and its power will be greatly improved.

The captain also has one, which is very useful for assassination.

In the Sky Age, although the dragons acquiesced in the power of the elves to form giant enterprises, they did not give them the power to deprive other people of their lives, nor did they allow the elves to compile codes.Therefore, even the "Big Seven" did not dare to use lethal weapons to arm their psychic private army, but could only use anesthesia guns, net throwers, stun guns and cold weapons for them.

This kind of lethal firearm is a dangerous item that only those "uncoded people" dare to produce, carry and use.

Except for the "directors" and immediate family members who are privileged classes.Others can be sentenced to three years in prison by the local head office according to the company law just by holding it.

"Damn..."

Trigger murmured.

……how is this possible?

They were able to bring the guns in because the security personnel broke in two years in advance for this plan.

But this little girl...

In an instant, many possibilities flashed through his mind.For example, she might be the mistress of an underground gang, or a killer who sneaked in... In short, contrary to the impression, she is definitely not a kind person.

Immediately, the trigger quickly felt a wave of fear.

"Fortunately, there is that virus..."

Otherwise, if he barged in so recklessly, he might be killed directly.

After all, even he himself only holds a small-caliber silencer pistol.

As long as you have it, you can make the captain——

He suddenly felt greedy, and wanted to reach for the gun, but suddenly stopped his hand.

Holding the last vigilance, the trigger pulled out the gun and blocked the girl's temple.

"Don't pretend, you heard it all."

Trigger snorted coldly, and threatened in a low voice: "Who the hell are you?"
