Overturned Tower

He has always regarded Russell as a playful and lazy kitten with a heart of justice.

But now when the inferior really encounters a problem, it reveals itself and turns into a wise lion king, answering the confusion of the inferior and guiding him in the direction.

... This sense of gap is like a cute creature traveling with a brave man, suddenly becoming a great sage.

It was also because of this that he chose to believe in Russell, and went to the lower city to meet with Strangler alone, without his speech and spiritual power.

And looking at it now...

Perhaps "The Godfather" is the more real Russell?That's why he can show his demonic charm, completely control the tyrannical strangulation, and make him surrender...

If we say that Russell is actually such a deep and wise person, he concealed that he just wanted to sneak into the company and change something... and the identity of "hero" Qunqing was just a disguise for him to hide himself?

...But if it is a disguise, it may not be too realistic.

Under what circumstances can a person always restrain his own nature?

That kind of restraint makes the inferior feel shuddering.

The image of "ultramarine" that was originally very clear in the mind of the inferior has now become blurred again.

The bad guy really wants to see the "real godfather" once, to see what the godfather looks like in the eyes of these downtown residents; but he is also a little scared, worried that after seeing the "real Russell" , realizing that past friendships were fakes.

In this kind of entanglement, he didn't remember the winding road when he came here.

In the end, he only remembered being strangled and taken to an automatic factory that produced medical equipment.

In the mezzanine at the top of the factory, a skinny old man and a middle-aged man with a glowing body were chatting.The middle-aged man has become the light source here, and the gentle light illuminates the surroundings.

This is the power of holy order.

Strangling subconsciously narrowed his eyes.

But he didn't see the halo on the opponent's head.

An angel without a halo...is it a living saint?

Seeing them coming in, the middle-aged man said politely to the old man, "Then I'll go first, Dr. Paradise."

"Don't be afraid, 'Detective.' These are our own."

Paradise made a hoarse and old voice, looking at the strangled and inferior.

"Sapphi... no, the inferior."

Dr. Paradise smiled and said in a low voice: "It really is you. I knew it...

"I knew that sooner or later you would fall to this point."

Chapter 47 Codename: Detective

...So the Paradise they were talking about is you, Dean.

The inferior exhaled slowly, his mood became extremely complicated, and the matter of joining the lower city seemed less unacceptable.

He did know this person, although he has become so old now... But when the other party calmly said the real name of the inferior in that tone, the inferior still remembered his identity.

He used to be the dean of the Tianen Memory Armed Research Institute.Long before the birth of the inferior, he was doing research work at the Reconstruction Agency.

It is said that in the very beginning, the delivery of the poor was done by the dean—at that time no one dared to approach the "lethal love" who fell into a psionic rampage due to labor, only this man who looked like a lunatic from the very beginning Don't care about your own safety or not.

He is like a researcher walking among many beasts and poisonous insects, dressed in white clothes with his back bent, walking calmly under the eyes of countless demons who hate and ridicule him.

Nowadays, the inferiors will develop such a character of ignoring everyone, which must have something to do with this dean.

From a certain point of view, the dean may be the real father of the inferior...

Kamalthe has never cared about the bad guy, and has never even met him; his mother really loves him, but the bad guy can't touch her at will, otherwise he may be poisoned and die; Peter Pan will only Take him out to play, or kill, bully, and squeeze demons for fun.

In the distorted reconstruction institution, the devil prison composed of many color blocks and "bright roads", the dean who looks like a lunatic seems like a few normal people.

In a sense, the dean can be regarded as the "adoptive father" of the inferior.

But later, when the inferior was eight years old, the dean suddenly left.

Only when the inferior grows up a little longer will he know that he was wanted by the group because of his research on forbidden technology.

In the beginning, the bad guys were transferred to the executive department, partly because they wanted to find the dean's trace and ask him why he left so quietly back then.But later, the inferiors gradually understood the evil of the company and the elves, and forgot about it.

after that……

Now that I think about it, I feel a little ashamed, because the bad guys forgot about it later.

There were too many things that made him angry and kept him busy, and the original motivation faded in the face of a more stark reality.

Unexpectedly, the identities of the two have changed several times now, but now they meet again in the lower city.

"Write when you can't speak," Paradise pushed the oil-based pen and whiteboard in front of the inferior, mocking in a tone quite similar to the inferior, "Don't tell me, you have been a leader for a few years, and you forgot how to write .”

"...So you know each other."

Stretching looked at the strange atmosphere between the inferior and the paradise, and sighed in a low voice.

He was supposed to be an introducer to introduce each other to the two parties.The strangulation has already been planned. If Doctor Paradise rejects the inferior, or expresses hatred and disgust towards him, he will use the title of godfather to suppress him.

But as soon as Strangling brought the bad guy over, he found that the bad guy and Paradise seemed to have known each other a long time ago.

He could tell at a glance that they were real acquaintances.It must be more familiar than with myself.

Gee.

The godfather specifically asked himself to bring the inferiors here, which was simply superfluous.

Seeing that the two of them seemed to have something to talk about, Hang Sang felt that it would not be a problem for him to stand aside.

It just so happened that there was another person in this room... who also happened to make Hang Hang a little concerned.

So Hang Hang walked to the side of the man and found a place nearby to sit down.

"Friend, what's your name?"

Hang Hang made a deep voice, not concealing his hostility towards the church and angels: "Why did you come to a remote place like ours?"

Even if there is no halo on this person's head, the radiance that overflows in all directions undoubtedly proves his status as a living saint.Then he must be at least a core member of the directly affiliated church, at least at the level of a bishop or above.

Strangling has never regarded himself as a person without a code... He has always believed that he is just a "mage" born in the group of people without a code.

The identity of a mage is his self-identity.

Therefore, even if the church has kindness to the people in the lower city, this kindness will never be extended to the strangulation.

And the person in front of the strangulation just raised his head and looked at him indifferently.

It was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his 40s.There were two deep nasolabial folds on the man's face, and the pupils in the deep eye sockets kept shining with white light, and the original color of the iris could no longer be seen, but turned into shining silver-white pupils.

There are two white feathers at the position of his ears... The features and face of the relatives remind Hang Sha of a friend he met not long ago.

"You are a mage, right?"

The first sentence that the middle-aged man spoke made the strangler clench his fists.

"When you looked at me, your brow drooped, your nostrils grew slightly. It was an expression of anger... but you quickly suppressed the expression of anger, not just anger.

"And when you looked at me, you first glanced at the top of my head, which was the position of the halo; then you looked at my eyes again, and after you got confirmation, you looked at my shoulder...that should be the shoulder that symbolizes the status of church personnel where the belt is located.

"You were surprised when you didn't see anything. But you soon had more guesses in your mind...and you were afraid of me. Your shoulders were subconsciously straining, and your legs were shaking, which It shows your uneasiness...that is, you are afraid of me.

"Your strength comes from anger, but you have enough rationality to suppress it. I guess you are a mage of the Crucible School-how is your mentor, Zhong Xiang, lately?"

A series of questions hit like bullets, and Hang Hang couldn't help but lean back slightly.

He felt that the shoulders that were mentioned by the man began to become sore, and his eyes, brows and nose became very uncomfortable... He didn't pay attention to these things at all before, but after being pointed out, he felt that everything was wrong... It was as if someone had asked him for the first time whether he slept with such a long mane around his neck under his body or around his shoulders.

Once you realize their existence, it is like realizing that you are breathing-breathing will be switched to manual gear in an instant.

"...Who are you?"

Strangled asked in a deep voice.

From this series of bullets turned into words, he can only judge one thing...that is, this person is not simple.

As a member of the church, I don't have the sharp ears of elves...but it seems like I have participated in the battle of teaching law.

But how could a frozen angel sit in front of them and talk nicely?

When Strangling became tense, the air became scorched, the smell of sulfur could be easily smelled in the air, and the temperature began to rise.

"His code name is detective, don't ask about the others, hang him."

Feeling the heat, Dr. Paradise frowned slightly, and asked angrily: "I have known this gentleman earlier than I have known you.

"I guarantee that he is not from the church. In other words, he is a 'former angel' who defected from the church. Now he also possesses special forbidden technology."

"Thank you for taking care of my daughter before, Mr. Hangman."

The middle-aged man with twinkling eyes crossed his fingers, smiled slightly, and said gently and slowly: "Her name is Paradise Bird. I think you still remember this name."

"...It really is her."

Hang Hang didn't have the slightest doubt about this, and the hostility also dissipated a lot.

Because he was also skeptical like this before - the two people's looks are really similar, and the characteristics and abilities of the spiritual relatives overlap, it really can't help people think about it.

But... a fallen angel?

Can fallen angels also master the power of the Holy Order?

"However, if the technology is taboo..."

Stretch slowly said: "You may mention it a little bit, I think the godfather will fund your research."

"No need."

The middle-aged detective smiled slightly, shook his head, and replied with certainty: "He won't sponsor it."

"You might as well tell me first..."

"- Immortality technology."

The detective interrupted: "Will he?"

Chapter 48 People Without Spiritual Relatives

... Immortality technology?

Just hearing this word gave Strangling a chill.

Even if strangling himself is a mage who is not allowed to exist by the company and the church...but it is also taboo, and there is a difference in purity between them.

Whether it is the immortality of the elves or the immortality of the dragon, it is a top secret that must not be touched and can easily subvert the entire world.

In a daze, Hang Sha seemed to recall the scene when the godfather first met Tovatus.

At that time, the godfather did not have the name of "Godfather", and he was still subordinate to his "barber".And Tovatus, the elf with venomous eyes, just saw him for the first time, and he had the idea of ​​poaching the wall, promising to grant him "eternal life like a dragon".

That was enough to make all the people present... Everyone including the strangling himself, be motivated by greed.

It was also at that time that the godfather showed his pattern and sobriety for the first time.

He refused the eternal life within reach without hesitation.The contagious power in those words woke up the strangler who was holding his breath because his heart was moved.

Thinking back now, that should also be the first time the Godfather showed his capacity to be a king.

Hanging is ashamed of itself.

Because he realized sadly now, even after the godfather had reprimanded them, after strangling his own rationality, he had clearly realized the difference and difference between eternal life and eternal wealth, eternal power, and eternal state...he once again When I heard the word "eternal life", I still couldn't help being moved.

He is both fearful and greedy.But his will was clear, and it was because of this that he realized... This is the gap between him and the godfather.

"...I think, if it's really immortality technology," Strangling's voice was hoarse and a little dry, "the godfather probably wouldn't sponsor it.

"He is a person who is extremely sober and as brilliant as the sun. Before that, when he was persuaded by an elf to give him eternal life, he refused without hesitation."

"Oh?"

Dr. Paradise, who was hunched over, turned his head with some interest and opened one of his eyes slightly: "What did he say?"

"I remember very well... He said that what people want is never eternal life, but eternal wealth, eternal power, and eternal life. People pray for eternal life, in the end, it is for eternal happiness...the benefits of eternal life to them , it is precisely because other people cannot live forever that the immortal has the advantage.

"If after eternal life, you can only get endless toil and slavery, then eternity itself is a kind of purgatory."

Hang Hang replied word by word: "He said, 'I would rather die briefly and brilliantly than live such a humble life'."

"Oh……"
