Overturned Tower

Being watched by such sincere eyes... Russell was at a loss for words for a while.

He was a little afraid to bear the penetrating gaze, and changed the subject:

"Have you assembled the chip?"

"Ok!"

Paradise Bird nodded vigorously.

She stared at Russell intently: "In this case...we don't have to 'see you again' in the future, but see you whenever you want!"

Russell smiled helplessly.

really……

It was only after he came back that he realized, belatedly, how difficult it was to see him, a work geek who was almost at the two points of the home and the company.

A codeless person.Unless Russell returns to downtown as a barber again, she may never see Russell again.

After physically linking with Paradise Bird and adding friends, she waved Russell goodbye.

Wuming also nodded to Russell with a smile, and swam away behind the Bird of Paradise.

Delphinium, who had been silent all this time, watched the whole process intently.

She was a little curious: "Do you know that child?"

Russell opened his mouth, thinking for a moment how he should summarize Paradise Bird.

Daughter of Angels?Spontaneously awakened saint?Volunteer doctor in the lower city?A genius instrument expert?A pure and kind uncoded person?

Russell was silent for a moment.

He answered softly:

"A good boy. Could be a great grown-up too."

Russell leaned against Delphinium's desk.

He raised his head, recalling what happened a week ago, and reminiscing about what happened between himself and Paradise Bird.

Delphinium, on the other hand, was lying on the table, looking sideways at Russell, and listening carefully to the story about Paradise Bird.

A story that begins with "misrecognition" and ends with "re-recognition".

Chapter 1 Morgan's Letter

The torrential rain has not stopped.

Not far away, the accumulated water that is constantly being crushed by raindrops makes the neon lights reflect beautiful brilliance.

"Ha...ha...uh..."

She woke up from the coma for the third time, panting violently.

The blood stuck in her throat, which made her cough several times before she recovered.

The roaring rain intertwined with her tinnitus, giving her the illusion that she was surrounded by people from all directions.

But that's just an illusion.

She struggled to stand up.

His long black hair was wet from the rain, clinging to his back, which was only wearing a white vest.

The diluted blood on the back was intertwined with sweat and rain, and smeared on the tight vest, dyeing it a light red, and the opened wound became swollen and purple under the rain.It's infected, and I'm afraid it's about to get inflamed.

The chip on the back of her neck is constantly reminding her that her body is in an endangered state.

There was a red light constantly flickering at the edge of her field of vision, and piercing warning sounds came from her ears... Thanks to the successive warning sounds, she didn't directly pass out in the torrential rain.

—I am about to die.

She was very aware of it.

But there was no trace of fear in her eyes.

She completely ignored the prompt from the chip that "is sending an assistance signal to the nearby executive department", crossed out the kind reminder of "please choose a doctor within the vicinity", and hung up the distress call that the chip decided to call her. .

She exhaled the virtual panel, and her right hand, trembling from blood loss, quickly tapped on the keyboard that only appeared in her field of vision, and began to send a text message to someone.

Soon, her eyes dimmed.

A tall figure appeared in front of her, blocking the neon lights in front of her eyes.

The torrential rain fell on him, submerged in it like an illusion, and disappeared out of thin air.

Because of the backlight, even if she tried her best to raise her head, she could only see a dark shadow.

"The last words, are you finished?"

A cold voice sounded.

She waved off the screen and raised her head to meet the person who came.

"Are you going to start?"

With a hoarse voice, she asked word by word.

"Looks like it's finished."

The man said plainly, his indifferent eyes turned to the seriously injured girl in front of him.

……

1202年，7月31日，周六上午9：00。

Russell was awakened by the brisk electronic music alarm clock.

The alarm clock played directly in the brain through the chip is the music with the highest wake-up efficiency without causing long-term mental damage.

"Wake-up music" and "sleep-aid music" are the "Happy Life" series of technologies developed by Tianen Group... But in Russell's view, the greatest value of this thing is that it can save him from ruining a song.

He yawned and rolled around on the bed.He turned off the alarm clock with his eyes closed and opened Tianen Daily, listening to Miss Xue Bai's soft voice.

"Ah, it's still about the downtown..."

Russell muttered in a daze.

Generally speaking, Tianen Daily starts at 06:30 every morning and ends at [-]:[-].

But there's a replay at nine o'clock...that's why Russell gets up at nine every day.

If it was normal, he would have gotten up by now.

However, I still have important things to go out tonight, so I probably have to stay up late.It's better to squint a little bit to get back to the cage...

It has been more than a month since Russell got his third mask.

In the past two weeks, the pressure from the media on Delphinium's bombing of the factory in the lower city has also decreased a lot.In the past two weeks, Russell accepted three interviews, each of which was not directly related to that incident.

It is also possible that people have forgotten about this incident as the new incident intensified.

It was a week ago that the mages held a gathering in Crystal Skeleton City.But the people present didn't just lose Quanshu and Maze... but there were only six pathetic people left in total.

I don't know if the rest of the people haven't arrived at Crystal Skeleton City in a month, or they don't plan to come and decide to go it alone.

Of course, it could also be dead.

After Paradise Bird joined the Cyber ​​Church and became a bishop... for some reason, the board of directors suddenly let go and let the angels into the lower city.

In the past half a month, the company no longer sent executives to the lower city, but the gangs and mages in the lower city have become more difficult.

The original executive department, who were fooling around, holding each other's hands, and fighting daily, were suddenly replaced by the Angel Squad, who were merciless and wanted to eliminate evil at any cost.

The gangs in the entire downtown area have entered a contraction stage, and the frequency of robberies, rapes, shootings, kidnappings and other vicious incidents has been directly reduced by three quarters in the past two weeks.

At the same time, as the angels destroyed a large number of factories, the prices in the upper city continued to increase.

Compared with the same period last month, prices in Shangcheng District have generally increased by more than [-]%, and some commodities have begun to show insufficient supply across the island.Although Tianen Group began to urgently transfer supplies to other empty islands, the price was directly increased by five or six times, seven or eight times.

But the reduction of a large number of vicious incidents is far from stopping people's complaints——

Just as the former "Godfather" predicted: it was no longer the executive department and the company that were burned, but the church and angels, and there was also a parade against the angels entering the floating island.

Russell and the underdogs actually dispatched once... because the island-wide increase of [-]% in prices plus insufficient supply is actually very scary.Some companies were directly unable to obtain raw materials, or the capital chain was broken, and many people lost their jobs and were forced to flow into "secondary jobs".Coupled with the "happiness inspection" problem caused by anxiety, it even directly gave birth to a demon that has not yet fully hatched.

Although prices have only increased by [-]%, when it is finally reflected in some families, it is far more than a [-]% increase in living expenses.

According to Russell's prediction of public opinion, the pressure of public opinion on the church side has reached its limit.

People are extremely harsh on these original "helpers" around them, and just a little mistake can be magnified several times.Not to mention, they have indeed caused the lives of more than 4000 million people in the urban area of ​​​​Happy Island to be affected...

Even if the unemployment rate is only 0.8%, it means that at least 30 families have suffered misfortune.

If you add the 20 people who are being annihilated and massacred by the angels in the upper and lower urban areas, it is the resentment of at least 100 million people.More than [-]% of them have chips and can vent on the Internet at any time.

Even if the will of the angel to destroy the mage is firm enough...but the mortals in the church cannot bear this kind of mental pressure.

They may even be attacked by relatives and friends simply because they work in the church.

These clergymen working in the church are basically volunteer jobs—just like what I said before, the jobs here have no income at all and no future to speak of.

For the priests who have not yet awakened the power of the Holy Order, they basically work for the affirmation, smiles, and happiness of others.

This kind of pure and real resentment, which cannot even be criticized or escaped, is too strong a shock for them.

If they cannot bear the pressure and leave the church in large numbers, Cyber ​​Church will not only become a joke, but will also lose a lot of their authority and persuasion, and will not be able to occupy a dominant position in the negotiations with Tianen Group.

At the beginning of August at most, not even mid-August—the church will not be able to withstand the pressure, and the angels will be taken back and re-frozen.

At that time, the company will happily pick peaches.

The nastiest groups in downtown are repeatedly swept up by the Angels.The angels gathered in a small group attacked those mages and illegal psykers, it was like a gunship licking infantry, and the opponents had almost no ability to resist - because there was a "sublime" among the angels assigned in the island of happiness, who could give other angels Flying ability... so in the end it really became like this.

As the people's dislike of angels deepens, they can't help but blame the church... Relatively speaking, the company's right to speak has increased; It cannot be slowed down. After the angels are evacuated, the factory is rebuilt, and prices are stabilized and restored, it will become a situation where "the new actions of the Executive Department in recent months have effectively reduced the crime rate in the downtown area."

He still has to thank us.mp3

Before that, Russell really hadn't had much work to speak of.

Even the executive department next door has started a rare vacation... This can probably be regarded as a release.

Although at the beginning of the month, the bad day told Russell that nothing should happen on the day of the end of the month.

But after Russell saw the calendar clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief.

——The 31st is a Saturday.

In theory, the Special Operations Department has one day off per week, but in practice it takes one and a half days off.

On Saturdays, you have to sign in at the company before noon, and then you can have a free and hearty lunch in the staff cafeteria before you can stroll home from get off work.

Although where to play is not fun... For Russell, there is actually no big difference between vacations.He would rather play games in the office, at least he can chat with Delphinium when he is tired.

It's so lonely when you're alone at home.

He even walked around the headquarters of the Tower of Babel twice, but he still didn't meet anyone except the deer head.

While waiting for the end of the month with peace of mind, Russell has already cleared four major games in the office.

He even made a card game before, and wanted to play with Delphinium.

But it's a pity that Delphinium is still busy with work every day, like an earthbound spirit growing on a minister's chair... he doesn't even bother to go shopping, eat and drink.

Faced with Russell's invitation to "fish together", Miss Minister refused very seriously.He reprimanded Mao Mao for his behavior of dragging other colleagues in the company without doing their jobs.

And Russell immediately understood Delphinium's meaning: You play with your own, don't pull me to play with you.

So Russell, who made up his mind to dawdle in peace, could only find a corner of the sofa to curl up and play.

During the day, I spend my days chasing dramas and playing games in the office, and at night, I go to the dream world to practice leveling. It can be said that it is quite a fulfilling and interesting life.

Occasionally, Russell would show kindness and wander into the dormitory area of ​​the angels to give them some psychological counseling.

Although the little bishop was not there, the angels were also people with good personalities.Moreover, they are all "old antiques" from the era when the Internet was not yet developed, and their anti-spray ability is not strong enough... Obviously a little worried.Russell couldn't let them be driven crazy one by one, so he went to enlighten them if he had nothing to do.

This is probably the few serious things that Russell has done in the past half month.

"Um……?"

When Russell regained consciousness, he suddenly saw someone send an email to the "Qunqing" account.

Russell is quite famous now.
