Overturned Tower

If Russell came back to work, she wouldn't have to go home at noon.

That's okay, it saves a lot of trouble.delphinium thought.

Although it's only been two days, she has gotten used to the life of seeing Russell every day when she goes home.

Compared to staying alone in the office in the afternoon, quietly eating cold takeaway... Although this kind of life is a bit troublesome, it also feels good.

——Russell and the inferior go to the cafeteria every day, and she has nothing to do and doesn't want to go home.It's not that I have any conflicts with my family, it's just that I feel troublesome.

If possible, she didn't want to talk, let alone move.If she can work mentally, she will never do physical work... The distance from the Executive Department building to the parking lot is already a bit long for her.

Although driving home in a floating car, the journey takes less than 10 minutes.But going back and forth will waste a lot of time.

She prefers to finish her lunch quietly in an empty office, and then take a nap on the table.It was originally a quiet time that belonged to her alone.

Since Russell started working, sometimes Russell would come back from the cafeteria before she finished her meal.

Afterwards, both would take a nap in the office.She was sprawled on the table while Russell curled up on the sofa.There is obviously one more person in that space, but it still feels the same quiet, giving people a wordless sense of security.

Perhaps it was the extension of that feeling that made her get used to the daily life of seeing Russell curled up in the quilt when she came home.

But delphinium actually knew that such days would eventually come to an end.

Russell was her colleague after all, not her pet...

...But if possible, she would also like to have a cat like this.

Chapter 5 Busy Russell

Although the aunt is still enthusiastically trying to persuade her to stay, saying something like at least coming back for dinner at night...

But Russell knew that if he stayed to eat at night, he might have to eat until it was too late and stay to sleep.

He and Delphinium's father are very close—the two are feline relatives, and they exchanged real names on the first night, even earlier than Delphinium.

The real name of Delphinium's father is Herman, and his specific breed is the Ragdoll.

It was a big cat with a good temper.

Unlike delphinium's grandfather, his relatives had milder symptoms.

Delphinium's extraordinary and exquisite beauty should have been inherited from him... at least her jewel-like light blue eyes must have been inherited from her father.

If Delphinium hadn't told Russell before, Russell would never have realized that her father had been a laborer... Hermann, who didn't smoke or drink, and wore thick black-rimmed glasses, looked very handsome. He is knowledgeable and has a good temper.

But in fact, Herman didn't even go to college to start working.

Before Delphinium entered the Special Executive Department, Herman worked in a small company affiliated to Thoth Psychic, and was responsible for custom-made prosthetic body assembly—some customers had special needs for prosthetic body modification, such as not being tall enough If you are tall, your arms are not long enough, or you have insufficient muscle strength to bear the heavy prosthetic body, changing the coating and painting is a common need.

There are also some special requirements... such as combining two prosthetic bodies of different brands, or making adaptations compatible.

The production company will definitely not consider these needs, at most it will prepare several models of replaceable parts.And the specific needs of each person are different, and customers have to be repeatedly confirmed and modified-thinking about it, it is a very tiring and tiring job.

Moreover, as an ordinary technician in the downstream adaptation industry of the prosthetic body industry, his craftsmanship is not that good, and his income is not very high.

However, after Delphinium entered the Special Operations Department... her father's job was also transferred.

He is now working in the device and equipment department of Tianen Group, as the product manager of the project team "production and adjustment of internal equipment related to the executive department".The prosthetic body equipped on Delphinium is the version modified by her father.

This can be regarded as a special employee benefit, and it can also be understood as a "hostage".

Although his technical level is not very high, but because he came from the front line, he is especially sympathetic to his subordinates.He is also very clear that it has nothing to do with him that he can have such a day, it is purely because of his daughter's favor... Therefore, he has no temper or airs to speak of.

Compared with the most outstanding people in Happy Island like Tianen Group, he deeply felt that his knowledge level was far from enough, and as their leader, he might have some troubles where laymen commanded experts.So when he has nothing to do, he reads books, learns to improve himself, and often asks his subordinates some questions... Among the prosthesis theories, the most valuable and worth learning are the many theories invented by Sally Ruth. Laid the foundation of prosthetics.

Because of this, he highly respected Russell.When the two get together, Herman will ask Russell some questions very enthusiastically and seriously, and Russell is also the type who doesn't mind sharing knowledge at all.

After the two discussed, they found that their schools and academic tendencies were even the same—in other words, they both inherited the style of Sally Ruth.

Sally Ruth's style refers to neither imitation nor violation of harmony.

For example, the simulated beautifying prosthetic body used by Xiao Liuli... the prosthetic eyes in the form of cosmetic contact lenses, delicate and smooth artificial skin, and adjustable breasts exist to prevent people from discovering that this is a prosthetic body as much as possible.

And the latter is the kind of prosthetic head commonly used by bodyguards, security guards, and thugs of the Veil of Ignorance.In order to prevent headshots, the head is remodeled and fully mechanized. The resistance to blunt damage is greatly improved, and it can also block the attacks of many small bullets.At the same time, it can bypass the limit of human vision, improve the real vision to a spherical shape, greatly improve hearing, immunity from sonic booms and shock attacks, and has its own air purification device, which can be immune to many poisonous gases and smog.

This can be said to be a very practical and extreme transformation.Almost all the weaknesses of the human head are avoided, and all performances are greatly enhanced.

The price to pay is that it will never be able to return to a normal head... because this transformation is accompanied by the spine, transforming the spine into a more advanced mechanized spine.Lost the spinal cord and switched to using a mechanical high-energy hematopoietic organ, and it will never be replaced in the future.

This kind of modification is an overly exaggerated and contrary feature of "Shenzhi Heavy Industry", emphasizing mechanical performance and practicality above all else.Humans should actively adapt to machines that evolve faster than humans, not the other way around.

Sally Ruth believes that if prosthetics develops towards the former, always emphasizing beauty and simulation, eventually there may be artificial intelligence that is mixed with humans and cannot be recognized.It may also make human beings more and more similar, and everyone's self-modification will eventually become a trend, which means the rejection of human beings... and this is precisely the prosthetics "making human beings different, blooming, and giving full play to their advantages. , to make up for the shortcomings of the concept of the opposite result.

And if it develops towards the latter and always emphasizes on performance, it will eventually make people gradually abandon their weak bodies and turn them into pure and cold machines.

Either way deviates from Sally Ruth's original intention.

Prosthetic body transformation should be based on the basic design bottom line of "can be seen at a glance without affecting the appearance".It is human complementation, not optimization and camouflage.

Although the concept of this format is mainstream, it is not too much in Happy Island.

——Because of the security guards and bodyguards who can accept head modification, it is easier for him to find a job than those who don't.

A security guard who is not afraid of direct attacks on the back of the head by blunt weapons such as smoke bombs, poison gas, shock bombs, explosion-proof sprays, small-caliber bullets, sticks, etc., has a 360-degree spherical field of vision, a sound pickup range of up to 50 meters, and can record and video all-weather. ...In any case, he feels much safer than normal security guards.

Such a security guard, to put it mildly, can stand up to a team of security guards of the same level.

In the same way, for idols, singers, actors and other occupations that need to show their faces, simulation and beauty prosthetic bodies are just needed.

In any case, good-looking is good-looking, and bad-looking is not good-looking-correctness cannot deceive aesthetics.An idol who has undergone a cosmetic transformation, in any case, has several times or ten times more fans than an idol who has not undergone transformation... Not to mention, singing, dancing and other similar physical functions can also be compensated by prosthetic bodies.

Hellman also knows that no matter how much you emphasize that the development of this industry is unhealthy...in the long run, it must be harmful to everyone, but since it already exists and has a market, it cannot stop people from buying and using it. .

In other words, this inevitable "preferential purchase and use" itself is already a preliminary manifestation of its "harmful nature".

People who do not use this extreme prosthetic body cannot compete with people of the same level for jobs... Although it is still in the initial acceleration stage, it has actually started a snowball-style involution acceleration.

When everyone has modified the head prosthesis, then this is no longer an advantage - the next step is the transformation of the kidneys and liver, so that people can no longer sleep; after that, there is the transformation of the glands, so that people can burst out stronger strength……

Herman obviously held back for too long.

His point is correct.But because he was too sober, he couldn't find the same kind.

Russell was the first.

On the first night the two met, Herman introduced Russell as a confidant.And Russell also has a good impression of this gentle and elegant big cat with black-rimmed glasses.

If it wasn't for Delphinium's mother who was worried that it would affect Russell's rest, they might have talked for a long time last night.

"It's not like I won't be back," Russell comforted. "If I'm free in the future, I'll come to visit Uncle Herman when he gets off work in the evening."

One of the reasons why Russell is running now is because... When Herman comes back from get off work, he may not be so easy to run.

Chatting and chatting until late at night, it would not be so polite to let him go home by himself at this time-so he had to sleep at Delphinium's again.

Russell is also a little embarrassed about always occupying the delphinium's bed...

Although he was worried about getting his own smell, since he woke up yesterday morning, he had borrowed the delphinium's bathroom to take a bath twice... but compared to the delphinium's keen sense of smell, it was still difficult to eradicate.

I heard that for canine relatives, the sense of territory is very strong.Russell didn't know how high the delphinium's spiritual affinity was, and he was a little worried that it would make her angry, so he was a little uneasy.

On the other hand, Russell also had things to do at home.

That is to go to the dream world.

In the Delphinium's house, it was really inconvenient for him to enter the dream world-in any case, it seemed too criminal to sleep in someone else's house with his hands and feet tied up and his eyes covered.

Was he worried about insecurity, mainly because he was worried that Delphinium would think he was a pervert if he came in in the middle of the night to take a look...

And counting July 31st, "The Barber" hasn't appeared from the dream world for two days.Because he didn't know his way, Hang Hang would definitely not leave him alone... He was worried that Russell would enter the dream world, so he would definitely come up to see him every night.

This means that the lion has been waiting in the same area for two days.

As he dwells, the intensity of the shadow will gradually increase.For the safety of the strangulation, he had to go to the Dream Realm today.

Say hello to strangulation.By the way, strangle again, how's the plan over at the ale going.

They were almost reaching the area where the strangled mentor was.

If you are lucky, you will see the old mage soon.

Chapter 6 Are you going to be uncoded?

Before it was time to go to work in the afternoon, the door of the office of the special executive department was pushed open again.

The poor man looked at the door with his somewhat dull eyes, only to find someone who shouldn't have come...

I saw that Russell, who had originally asked for leave to lurk in the downtown area, was following Delphinium quite energetically.

He held a large bag of fried chicken in one hand, and a bag of buns in the other for some reason.

The fried chicken was bought outside Tian'en Park, but the buns looked like they were from a cafeteria, and they were already completely cold.

If it is normal, the inferior will definitely say sarcastically: "Do you really want to come to the office to show everyone your special food taste?"

Or you can stab a sentence: "Didn't our hero ask for two days off, why was he arrested by the minister?"

But he is indeed lacking spirit now, and can only glance at Russell as a symbolic attack without harm.

"Bring it for you."

Russell said, putting the food in front of the inferior.

Sure enough, he didn't go to the cafeteria, nor did he cook in the office... These two days, he even prepared the delphinium's food by himself.

"……Uh……"

The inferior opened his mouth to say thank you, but when he opened his mouth, only gurgles and breaths sounded like suffocation from his throat.

He was taken aback for a moment, and then he simply sent a friend message to Russell.

[Thanks, Russell]

At this time, Russell realized how serious the "loss of voice" of the inferior was.

He originally thought it was the level of "not wanting to speak", but it turned out that he wanted to speak...but he couldn't speak at all.

It's as if the body has forgotten how to make a sound, and the instinct has declined to the level of a baby.

"Are you... have you forgotten how to speak?"

Russell was a little surprised: "Should I have to learn to speak again?"

Like a baby?

He dared not say it.

Although it seems that the inferior person's mental state is not good, but it is estimated that he still has the strength to beat people.

【come here】

The inferior said, grabbing Russell's prosthetic hand.

Russell flinched subconsciously, but soon he noticed that the bad guy didn't want to hit himself.

Instead, he pulled out a data cable from his prosthetic hand and connected it to himself.

Direct connection is also good.

In this way, the communication can be faster, and there is no need to type and communicate close to the face.

But after completing the direct connection, Russell noticed a detail.

When linking to the inferior before, the "advanced authority user" identification... I don't know when it disappeared.

Is it because Kamalthe is dead?

Although there was no mention of Kamalthe's death in the news at all, no new arrest warrants were issued for Bad Day, and even Tianen Group didn't notice that they lost an elf director...

But the "advanced authority" on the inferior side was removed immediately.

This should also be the basis for him to be sure that Kamalthe was indeed dead, not because his perception was wrong.

Although Russell doesn't know what the use of this high-level authority is... He has never seen a bad person use this authority.

[Payment received: 1430089 credit points]

"……Um?"

Russell's eyes widened suddenly.

Unexpectedly, the inferior sent him more than 100 million credit points.

This is a huge sum of money.
