Overturned Tower

The container of God turned into ice water and appeared behind Russell again. He folded his arms and sighed, "If you didn't deliberately not use your ability on her, you wouldn't make such a basic mistake."

Russell's eyes were subconsciously attracted to him again.

The container of God said angrily: "Why, the kitten wants to step on the milk?

"You can't touch me at all, what are you looking at? Go and reply to the message!"

【Nope. 】

Russell replied, and after thinking about it, he added [Is there something wrong? 】

【Nothing, just a random question...】

Soon, Delphinium sent another emoticon of Samoyed shaking his head.

[You have to get up early tomorrow morning, go to bed early]

Russell replied: [Did you go to bed so early today]

Then he felt that such a question was a bit dry, so he sent an emoji of a cat poking his head.

"The conversation between the two of you is really full of a blunt atmosphere of talking out of words."

The container of God complained: "Why is Delphinium more straight than you?"

"Crap!"

Russell became annoyed, and waved his hand to disperse the container of God.

【I'm still in the office】

After delphinium circled twice, it finally got to the point——

[I'm not saying that I want you to give up Miss Bingshui...but I don't want you to have an accident.You can protect Miss Bingshui and tidy up the office tomorrow, but it is best not to continue the investigation of the memory theft case.That case is said to be related to the "Tower of Babel" and involves the investigation of "history".This is the taboo of the giant dragon. If something happens, even the board of directors will not be able to protect you.But I'm not asking you to give up this mission immediately... I'm just saying, if there are any unexpected problems, or if you discover any secrets, at least let me know.If one more person knows the truth, everyone will be safer.Never act alone... If you encounter a problem, whether it is me or the inferior will definitely help you.I will help to the end. 】

Afterwards, she typed out a series of dense news in one breath, and even Russell felt a little dizzy.

But from the words, worry and tension overflowed directly.

Just looking at these words, Russell felt a kind of warmth.

That is someone who really cares about their own warmth.

He couldn't help showing a gentle, natural smile.

"She does care about you."

"I know this."

Finally, under the repeated repetition of "The Vessel of God", Russell still gave the most serious answer to this matter: "I never doubt whether she likes me and cares about me..."

"Then what are you hesitating about?"

"I'm actually just worried about whether I'm 'the most special person in her heart'. Because she is too gentle... I was fascinated by that kind of gentleness and integrity, but after I really liked her, I was afraid of it.

"Because I am not such an upright person. I still have a mask called 'Godfather', with another identity and position. I am worried whether she will treat me like this after knowing everything about me; I still have the Tower of Babel I have the identity of a mage, and stand against the dragon; I have the identity of a mage, and I am also a deadly enemy with the Cyber ​​Church; I also have the power of an angel, and I am also feared and loathed by other mages.

"I can be anyone, but at the same time I can't be completely either. There are my mates everywhere, but no one is quite my ally.

"There's nothing more dangerous than walking with the 'real me'... especially when you don't have that much power, that many shifting positions."

Russell said softly: "Since I like her, I have to like her with all of me. She may have [-]% trust in 'Russell' and 'Ultramarine', or she may be able to fall in love with him. However, Godfather, Huo What about James, Morgan and Alice?

"Should I let go of the self that is not recognized by her, or should I let her fall in love with me like that?"

For the first time, he expressed his real worries and hesitation.

That's something you can't say in front of a bad day, and you dare not say it.

Only in front of the "other me" can one confide such real fear and anxiety.

But the container of God remained silent, saying nothing.

He just stood behind Russell in the mirror, folded his arms and listened to his confession.

She didn't know when she turned into Alice, and her temperament became gentle.

"But the news gave me a sense of groundedness.

"If I'm not 'the most special', I must be 'very special'. She is willing to give up principles and safety for me... This gave me a strong motivation."

"Power?" Container asked.

"At least, you can't be someone she hates."

Russell stared at the phrase "I will help to the end", and replied word by word: "Although I still don't understand what I am. I don't know what kind of person I want to be, what kind of things I want to achieve.

"But I hope that what I do at least makes her proud of me. It makes her be able to really and frankly say 'Russell is the right person'. I hope my name will not be an insult to her. words... I hope I can make her hold her head high and live under this sky as my lover without being persecuted for it."

"Are you going to change the world?" Container asked softly.

"If so."

Russell's eyes lit up with pale flames.

He stared at himself in the mirror, and replied word by word: "I can do it."

"Heh," Container couldn't help laughing, "The opportunity for you to change the world is actually such a mundane thing as the love between children."

"That's not love. It's 'hope and love'... plus the justice she upholds, that's all the elements that make up a hero."

"Oh? Are you going to be a hero, Russell?"

The voice of the container of gods became low, gradually echoing a little rumbling.

His body no longer has a clear image, but has become unreal, like a cloud of erratic mist—that is, Russell's restraint on him has strengthened again.

The intensity of Russell's blue shift has silently increased by one level.

This also symbolizes that he has officially crossed the wall of the zodiac and has a characteristic personality beyond ordinary people.

The short silence is like ink, which is soaked and blurred in front of the mirror.

Russell paused, and replied "Thank you" to Delphinium.

He typed "I love you," then, feeling a little embarrassed, deleted it and replaced it with "I love you."

Then delete it again and replace it with "If you encounter such difficulties, I will definitely help you in this way."

【Good night then. 】

【Good night】

"What's so difficult about being a hero? It's not impossible for me to make this sick world look different."

After sending the last message, the corners of Russell's mouth rose slightly: "It may sound a little arrogant, but I think... I'm actually not that kind of ordinary person."

It was somewhat similar to the container of God, full of confident smile.

At the same time, it is also a smile full of "desire".

"Let's go, my container. Let's go to the dream world."

Russell showed a hearty and happy smile: "I have a hunch... we will have a bumper harvest tonight!"

Chapter 19 The Fear of the Inferior

It was completely dark, and the rain began to pour down outside the window.

The rain hit the windows of the Special Operations Department, making a crisp rattling sound.

Although more than half of the employees in the executive department building had left work, the office of the special executive department was still brightly lit.

The underdog leans against a bookshelf near the door.

[Minister, what did Qunqing say? 】

Watching the delphinium look up again, the inferior sent a text message to the delphinium.

Delphinium shook her head: "He said... If I encounter such difficulties, he will come to help me."

Hearing this, the bad ones frowned.

【How did you ask? 】

"I told him that this matter involves the investigation of history, about the Tower of Babel and the dragon, it is very dangerous...but you and I will help him."

【You should directly ask him to withdraw from the investigation】

Delphinium sighed: "Now that I have said this to this extent, I even hinted that you and I would be in danger, and that I have a certain affection for him. But he still has no intention of quitting this mission... Then I can't continue to force him to quit."

【What is coercion? 】

The underdog cast his sharp eyes on the delphinium for the first time, his tight lips curved in anger.

[This is to protect him!We clearly found that the death rate of all those who investigated that case was almost [-]%, didn't we? 】

【You stop him directly in your own name... It doesn't matter if you cheat him, it's all for his own good.He will understand later]

"You mean, 'for his own good'?"

Delphinium raised her head and looked at the inferior.

Her eyes were complicated: "This is not a good word, inferior. You may not have such experience... But it will often arouse the other party's rebellious psychology.

"What's more, if I force Qunqing to terminate the investigation, it will be tantamount to killing Miss Bingshui with my own hands. How could I do such a thing?

"What she did was absolutely right and she was innocent - she didn't even want to investigate it. Russell acted to protect others and I can't compromise his goodwill."

【So you put Russell in danger? 】

The inferior replied mercilessly: [I don't care about ice water.I don't know that person, and I don't want to know him. I just want to ensure the absolute safety of Qun Qing.No matter what he is for...]

【Even if he is about to step into a dangerous situation, I will drag him out】

"...Don't you think that your behavior is starting to look a bit like a rough 'father'?"

Delphinium finally spoke up.

She looked directly at the inferior: "How much you hated your father. You hated his restraint on you, and you thought that 'fate' restricted your freedom. But now...after he died, you have to start to become Is he there?"

Hearing this, the poor man's expression froze.

Only then did he suddenly realize what he had just said.

"Inferior, Qunqing will not hesitate to confront Director Camalse for you. I hope you can know that if he doesn't have the determination to put his own safety elsewhere and step into danger for the sake of justice and friendship, he won't There would be no freedom from your fate today.

"What he's doing now is even less dangerous than with Director Camalthe. But you're preventing him from doing the same.

"Do you think that you have some kind of specialness? You are more suitable for receiving Ultramarine's help than ice water?"

Delphinium has always been soft-spoken, but for the first time her speech has become sharper and her voice has gradually become louder.

The inferior stood up straight and left from the bookshelf.

He paced the room anxiously.

[It is precisely because I accepted his help and accepted a love that will never end in my life, so I hope that he will not be hurt]

Although Qunqing didn't say anything, neither the inferior nor the delphinium were idiots.

They have now guessed that the death of Camarthe must have something to do with Russell.

And Russell did this, freed him from the shackles of his own fate, without even taking credit for him—he could even be the "master" of the inferior.He is willing to repay this kindness with the rest of his life.

While seemingly similar to Kamalthy's constraints, the essence is quite different.

One is the imposed bondage, the other is voluntary repayment.The latter is exactly the "right to choose" that the inferior seeks.

But it is precisely because of Russell's great kindness that he did not seek repayment... This kind of rescue without repayment made the inferior fall into confusion.

Like a kite with its string broken, a balloon flies into the sky—a moment of freedom brings destruction.

"What he did was right."

Delphinium stared at the inferior, without giving in: "Miss Bai Xue is only investigating the truth of the unsolved case, is she wrong? Miss Bingshui live broadcasted the war between the angels and the uncensored, protecting Miss Xia, letting people know the truth, Even prevented the war, was she wrong?

"She became the chief because of her excellence. Did Tianen Daily make a mistake? She encountered life-threatening threats without doing anything, and came to seek help from a trustworthy senior—Qunqing also put her own safety at risk and decided to Help her solve this difficulty. What did Qunqing do wrong?

"If there is something wrong, it is also the fault of the unknown force that assassinated Miss Xue Bai. Russell is right, he is walking on the right path. So I want to help him..."

[But the truth is, we don't even know who is behind the scenes.But we can save Qunqing...keep him out of danger]

"It's impossible to leave danger forever, you and I both know it. With his character, he will go deep into danger after all, because he is such a character that he can't turn a blind eye to injustice... If you stop his every adventure , then he is not an ultramarine.

"—and it's impossible for you to walk on the same road again."
