Overturned Tower

Surprisingly, the underdog did not refute the demon's assessment.

He just nodded.

The anger that seemed to have been suppressed in his heart became dim.

At this moment, the inferior person was entangled with a sense of weakness that Russell had never seen before... But because of this, he felt "normal" to Russell.

It wasn't until this moment that Russell really realized that this man who joined the Special Operations Department earlier than Delphinium was indeed a young man of his own age.

However, when Russell was just learning to read, the inferiors were already forced to deprive others of their lives.

It's not just playing around like a game, nor is it pulling the trigger without feeling real.

Instead, press the last button with your own hands, witness the whole process from birth to death, and fully witness how others lost their lives.

"But there's one thing I don't understand."

Russell had a very strong doubt in his heart: "If your mother is a demon imprisoned here... then who is your father?"

Why, as the son of the devil, the inferior can come into contact with Peter Pan, who has authority similar to "warden" and "executor"?

"It's an elves."

It was not the inferior who answered Russell, but the "hibernation" who sat on the bed and watched the excitement.

He pushed his glasses, and said with a smile: "Camalthe, I know his name. He is one of the directors of Tianen Group."

"...the child of elves and demons?"

Russell felt incredible.

The high-ranking elf director, and the most humble demon who may die at any time.

These are completely two people at opposite ends of the world.

How did they meet and fall in love?

"Are you wondering how they fell in love?"

The inferior cast a cold glance at Russell.

Those icy blue pupils were emotionless and sent chills down the spine.

Now it seems that this is also a legacy of the elf blood.

"Yes."

Russell nodded honestly.

"Ah."

The inferior smiled self-deprecatingly: "Everyone asks that.

"Winter is fine, delphinium is fine too. I'm used to it.

"But I have to warn you. There's no romantic love story here, no twisted emotions or tragedy. It's very common...experimental."

"……experiment?"

"That man's destiny is a 'marriage of opposites'. He must fulfill this destiny, and his choice... is to find a demon as his wife."

The inferior one took a deep breath, and tilted his head back as hard as he could.

Russell even heard the crunch of his cervical spine.

"And he thought...in that case. Let's do an experiment.

"The devil is no longer human in essence. The elf is not human, so if the elf and the devil have a child, can he become a natural devil? Or get the power of the elf?"

Two people who don't know each other have no love at all.

He established a marriage relationship on his own and gave birth to heirs.

"But, I heard..."

Russell paused, and said softly: "It is a crime for an elf to give birth to a hybrid offspring of another race. Half-elves must be executed."

"Yes."

The inferior said flatly: "The other elves think the same way.

"But the man said—no."

He looked at Russell.

The inferior asked word by word: "Do you know why he refused?"

Without waiting for Russell to respond, he continued to answer: "Because when I was born, I really inherited the part of the elf... I inherited a part of his fate.

"Thus, his fortunes were stretched.

"The fate of that man is a 'marriage of opposites'. When he becomes an adult, he must obey his own destiny. When the 'marriage of opposites' ends, it means the meaning of his life disappears, so he must carry on the next life. reincarnate.

"And my mother is a demon. She could die any moment.

"Death because of being refused to sign, it may also grow too fast, the red shift grows to more than eight levels and is executed immediately, or it has not eaten people for a long time and died of weakness."

If the demon does not eat people, it will gradually become weaker.

But if the demon eats people, it will gradually become stronger.

Once the demon's redshift exceeds eight levels, he must be executed.Because there will be a qualitative change in the ninth-level demons... At that time, the demons can no longer be restrained.

And even if you ignore the devil aspect...

The "shell" used by the devil is still an ephemeral species.There is still a lifespan limit.

"So, he's feeding my mother ... while keeping me growing.

"Because I, as his heir, is the proof of this 'marriage of opposites'. And if I have offspring, I can also be a proof of this fate.

"—But if I die because of this. Whether it is suicide or being poisoned by others, as long as he does not intervene, he can also engrave this fate in the world. From now on, he can get rid of this fate. bondage.

"So, I can't die. In that case, he will get what he wants."

Chapter 8 Russell's thinking is clear!

Not so much "can't die".

It would be better to say "not daring to die"...

Under Russell's gaze, the inferior said slowly:

"After I inherited a part of his destiny... to have the destiny of 'Son of Opposition'.

"Because of this fate, I cannot resist 'Father'. And he cannot kill me on his own initiative.

"'Fate' judges that we have a relationship between father and son. So we must get along as father and son on the surface... This is not a weak thing like 'consensus', but a constraint with self-enforcing power.

"But I also have my own way of resisting.

"As long as I don't die because of this...as long as I'm assassinated, sniped, poisoned by someone who doesn't know my origin without intentionally seeking death...then I've won.

"And he can't stop me if he doesn't get a good enough excuse."

The cold words of the inferior made Russell realize the truth of the matter.

...That's why the inferior ones are always so angry.

But his anger was so empty and pale.He had no idea why he was resisting, nor what he was resisting.

He can't live.Can't die either.

He cannot choose death because of his birth, nor can he die because of his birth.For that confirms that fate.

He also cannot give birth to heirs, which represents continuation—he cannot even extend his own life, transforming himself to obtain eternal life.

He was seeking a justified, involuntary death.

That's why he joined the special executive department.

And his father can't artificially interfere with the behavior of the inferior.He can only do what a father "should" do, such as protecting his children from being killed by other elves, and he can't kill the inferior with his own hands, or sit back and watch the inferior commit suicide-even if the inferior By committing suicide, he can escape the shackles of fate, but before that, he must do his best to protect his son.

...Elves are such distorted beings.

For the first time, Russell understood what the "fate" that the elves kept talking about was exactly what it was.

That is engraved on the logic of behavior and behavior that must be followed.Even the inferior as a child inherits a part of his "destiny".

Because of this hatred, the inferior must live in pain.

Until he dies from something, or dies naturally due to old age, his fate cannot be severed.

——So, he is not afraid of death.Even looking forward to death.

He was just waiting for a plausible--a deadly excuse that would fool him.

That's why the poor man's mother tried to poison him to end his suffering in this life...

This will of course free the elves from bondage and give them eternal life.

But for her, it can at least stop the pain of the inferior.This love is taken for granted and genuine.

"……and many more?"

Russell suddenly realized something.

He asked the inferior: "So, what can your mother's spirit be called?"

"Have you finally realized it?"

The corner of the poor man's mouth raised slightly.

Showing a somewhat pale, slightly mocking powerless smile: "Her psychic ability is called...

"[Lethal dose of love]. Yes, it is the same psionic power as the minister."

"Psionic...can it be the same?"

Russell was a little surprised.

The inferior shook his head: "No, it is true that the same name will not appear at the same time. But as long as it is not 'simultaneously' it will be fine.

"My mother died on my birthday that year. That was eight years ago.

"And the minister's spiritual power was awakened six years ago... When she awakened her spiritual power, she was already 16 years old.

"I know that there is a theory of 'reincarnation' in some psionic theories. But the psionic inheritance relationship between the mother and the minister just proves the failure of this theory."

"...Ah, I know this."

Russell nodded.

When he was in school, he also heard about the theory of "soul reincarnation", which was only denied in recent years.

Was it because of this?

"So... you always respectfully call Delphinium 'Minister'?"

"Part of the reason."

The inferior looked at Russell and said with relief, "Don't worry. There's nothing hard to say about it. Anyway, even if I don't tell you, the minister will find an opportunity to tell you.

"But I actually don't have so many taboos at all. I just think of that man and I get hot... But I don't care about talking about it, you don't have to worry about me."

--not like this.

Russell thought.

The more you emphasize that you don't care, the more you actually care.

Just try to deceive yourself through this repeated persuasion.

Just like the inferiors didn't respond to the "hibernation" statement before.

According to "Hibernation", the inferior ones were like the second disease of middle school... every day they yelled "Kill you" and "Kill me".

The difference from the second disease is that the inferior is really living in pain, not moaning without illness.

However, there is one place where it is the same...

If a person's core has really changed, then when he recalls his dark history, even if he doesn't feel ashamed, there will be a kind of nostalgia or regret.

But the inferiors have no reaction to the dark history revealed by "hibernation".

That means that he is still in the process of this dark history!
