Overturned Tower

A mechanically synthesized sound with noise came from the helmet worn by the inferior.
Strangling dismissed this: "You go ahead and say it, inferior.
"You've known the Godfather for too little time. You can't comprehend the size of the Godfather... He's a completely different person than you uptown company dogs.
"From the first time I saw him, I knew that this man had an extraordinary bearing. He already knew that I opened my fangs and breathed out my hot air at him, but he was not afraid or shy away from it.
"He looked straight at my wildness, accepted the fact that I was murderous and wild towards him, and also knew that I was not completely loyal to him... He promised me that I could betray when I thought it was appropriate.
"—Because the godfather has extraordinary self-confidence. He is confident that I will never betray him... because he will never show his flaws."
Even though the murderous intent towards the godfather is everywhere in the words, and the undisguised wildness in the eyebrows and eyes...
Although he himself said that he had never tamed the godfather—
But in Dr. Paradise's view, the white lion had already chosen to submit unknowingly.
His words are full of admiration that even he doesn't admit.Although he was unwilling, he had to admit that he had already succumbed to the rule of the godfather.
"As for what you said... what does he want to change the world into?"
Hang Kill glanced at the detective and sneered: "Then I might as well tell you.
"He gave me an analogy. A circus would tame lions to make them do some shows, but no matter how tamed they were, there was always the possibility that the lion would attack the lion handler. Because a lion can never have 'loyalty'— —Since he never took an oath of allegiance, naturally there was no such thing as betrayal.
"I asked him, what are you going to do with me, an untamed lion?
"He said, I'm going to make you a human."
Having said that, his tone subconsciously calmed down.
What surprised Dr. Paradise and the underdogs was...
Strangling's originally irritated face and the undisguised wild fire in his eyes are all becoming quiet at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The crazy and disorderly violent temperament in Stretch's body, that dangerous feeling of madness is also dissipating, and gradually becomes rational.
At that moment, he seemed to have changed from "a standing lion" to "a man with a lion's head".
"The godfather said... I'm going to make you tame yourself. Make you a man in a lion puppet, a man pretending to be a lion.
"He said, I want you beasts to know from the bottom of your heart... how good it is to be a human being."
Hang Hang looked at the detective and said word by word: "What the godfather wants to create is a world where lions don't need to bite off the head of the lion trainer, but can also get happiness and freedom. A world of equality, a world without discrimination, A world where you can live with your head held high without having to sell your soul. That is the world that ordinary people want.
"I remember every word that the godfather said, every word is correct. Because every word of his is from the heart, and it can actually fall to the ground. It is not some pretense and performance, nor is it an empty prayer. and philosophy.
"The Godfather is fundamentally different from you people with a halo that glows all over your body. You people, who pretend to be praying to the gods, steal power by deceiving the gods... I look down on you.
"What kind of cyber immortality are you pursuing - even if there is no such thing as the mind heavy work you mentioned, I don't think it is important.
"What people pursue is not eternal life at all, but happiness. You deliberately confused this concept, only promised eternal life, but did not promise what kind of eternal life... In my opinion, you are as despicable as Shenzhi heavy workers.
"They are all liars. To deceive others to trust you, or to deceive others to work for you - there is no difference. They all deceive people, they all deceive people's hearts, what is the difference?"
This is the rationality that strangulation will never have on weekdays.
Only when he mentioned the godfather could he think and speak so calmly.
From this point of view, the godfather has indeed fulfilled his promise - he tried to convert the "beast" into a "human being".
The detective watched Hang, as if shaken by his words.It was as if he felt the charm of the godfather in the strangled mouth... He took a deep breath.
"So that's how it is..."
The detective shook his head, as if losing interest in continuing his conversation with Strangler, and got up to say goodbye.
But just as the detective was walking at the door, the middle-aged man suddenly turned his head to look at Hang Hang.
"Let me explain to you, I am not the same as those people in the church."
The detective watched Stretch, and said calmly: "The power of my holy order is not obtained by deceiving God. It is obtained by myself.
"The godfather you speak of does have a great ideal. But if one day, he wantonly harms the world and innocent people because of this ideal... I will still stand up to stop him and kill him.
"I am a detective, and the meaning of life is to pursue the truth...I am a ghost that only exists in the past. I am the enemy of elves and dragons.
"If the godfather's influence expands infinitely, and eventually becomes a tyrant who reigns over the world like elves and dragons—if the godfather has no enemies, then I will become your godfather's greatest enemy."
Chapter 53 The third answer
"Why did you suddenly advance your plan?"
After leaving, God's Vessel asked with some doubts: "It's a relatively late plan to support the identity of a detective."
"Because I feel a kind of fear."
Russell replied softly: "A fear of overcorrection."
The reason why he finally declared to Hang Hang that the "detective" will become the enemy of the "Godfather" in the future is not just simply entertaining himself and fighting with each other...
Russell was serious.
Strictly speaking, not counting the assassination of Kamalthe by the godfather, there is actually no complete belief in it, and there are actually only three things that the identity of the "godfather" has really accomplished.
See through the board's tricks, save the lives of all newly awakened mages from the angel's bombing, and unify the lower city in the mode of "mercenary" and "family".
In the eyes of people in the lower city, this is simply a giant born in heaven.It seems to be able to lead them to solve all problems... But if you put the perspective on the level of Happy Island, the godfather is actually like that.
In places unknown to the Godfather, people in the lower city have begun to worship the "Godfather".
"I'm obviously not even a 'king', at most I can only be regarded as a country lord who has become a king... But some people even regard the godfather as a god. This can definitely be called a flattery.
"Strangling is rational enough, but he is still unconsciously infected by the godfather's charm.
"The words I said to him are actually not fundamentally different from the cakes drawn by the church and the company. They are also selling dreams, but strangulation is willing to eat my set... He not only ate it, but also self-satisfied. Hypnotized as not eating.
"This is actually a very dangerous omen. Because they have begun to lose their rationality in following me."
Russell explained in a low voice.
Hanging is a mage who has gone through the path of contemplation, so what about the other people in the lower city?
Will they be more superstitious about the Godfather?Do you think you have a godfather and you can beat Uptown?Not even elves and dragons?
In that case, what they are looking for is not the "equal" world sold by the godfather to them at all, but a future that makes themselves more "equal" than others.
Russell couldn't help feeling scared.Fortunately, Strangling was cautious enough, and planned to conduct a thorough investigation before publicizing the merits of the godfather...
Fortunately, Russell himself suddenly remembered this matter, so he could use his identity as a third party to ask Hang Hang what he thinks of the godfather... because these words, Hang Hang would never say to the godfather.He himself would never have been able to ask such a truth.
If this news gets out, the people in the lower city will start to swell violently...
When mortals suddenly come close to a great man, become part of some powerful organization, they think they have become the same great man.
If they see the godfather as a "god", the nature of the organization changes.
Now that there are gods, there are naturally "priests" who interpret the will of the gods.Then there must be someone doing their own thing in his name... The godfather can't satisfy everyone, and it's impossible to restrain everyone from acting for their own interests.
People pursue the godfather precisely because the godfather can give them what others can't - they are not just for some lofty ideals, but for real interests.Once the godfather starts to restrain their behavior, make them give up the benefits they have obtained, and talk to them about their ideals from a higher perspective, then he will be no different from those companies in the upper city and the Cyber Church.
Fortunately, it doesn't affect many people, only ale and strangulation.
If it's just two "believers", it shouldn't be a big problem.
The godfather must be dark enough and ruthless enough.Otherwise, as the situation of those who followed him improved, their ambitions would gradually expand, and sooner or later the godfather would not be able to suppress these people.But if his style of acting has been fixed, then sooner or later the godfather will do something that "Russell" is unwilling to do.
But in order to prevent the power contained in the identity of "Godfather" from expanding to a level that the Godfather himself cannot control... Russell must first plant a foreshadowing here, a "detective" specially used to fight against the power of the Godfather.
In this way, when the detective suddenly jumps out one day in the future, it won't look too abrupt.Everything is reasonable, and the detective will be vigilant by being strangled... His vigilance will become the recognition of the detective's ability.
——So that night, Russell caught strangulation in the dream world.Let him not publicize this matter outside.
Shortly after that, Hang Hang was ruthlessly kicked out by Zhong Xiang again.
When Russell asked why Mr. Zhong was so rude to the strangulation...
Zhong Xiang told Russell another thing:
"Because that lion is about to leave here."
Zhong Xiang, who had become a skinny old man again, muttered to himself while forging his own head: "He is no longer one of our own."
"Is he going to a deeper realm?"
Russell, who turned into a godfather, asked at the time.
"No," Zhong Xiang replied, "it is he who is going to turn his back on the Forge School.
"The anger I saw in his eyes has become thinner and thinner... replaced by uncontrollable greed, jealousy and ambition.
"Two more months at most, perhaps only half a month at the shortest, and he will become someone else's apprentice."
Zhong Cheng's head muttered on the anvil.
After waking up from the dream world again, Russell found malt wine immediately.
As soon as he woke up, he saw the godfather sitting silently on the head of the bed—the moment Malt Wine opened his eyes, he shivered with fright.Like a mobile phone with vibration mode turned on, it vibrated in the quilt with a buzzing sound.
Malt Wine quickly straightened up, regardless of the quilt slipping off his body, and subconsciously showed an almost obsequious smile at the godfather.
And the middle-aged director who was sleeping next to her suddenly fell into a deeper sleep.
The godfather saw that there was an unconcealable fear in Malt Wine's eyebrows... and a little bit of relieved excitement.
Just looking at that smile, the godfather guessed the truth.
——She has not only found out what Russell wanted.
Most likely, they found out who the "director of Camarthe" was.
Before that, no matter how courageous she was, she would never have imagined that the godfather would kill an elf director.So Malt Wine must only default "Camarcer Director" as a director of a small company.
And this is also the intention of the godfather.
The reason why he mentioned this lightly is because strangulation and malt wine have different personalities.
Strangling is suspicious enough and too dull, and he has to tell him directly, and even so, he will investigate repeatedly by himself before he can believe it.
And Malt Wine is smart and agile, especially good at squeezing out more information from the gaps in words. At the same time, the faction she controls has been able to reach the level of the elf director. The godfather guessed that she can Find out about this.
So the godfather deliberately didn't tell her more, but asked her to investigate by herself... After all, it is easier to convince herself only if she finds out by herself.
The godfather gently stroked Malt Wine's cheek, and gently stroked her messy hair behind her ears.
"It seems that you have found what I want."
His dark blue pupils are as serene as lake water: "You have lived up to my trust in you."
"Yes, Godfather... I will not let you down..."
As soon as the malt wine opened its mouth, it made a sweet and greasy sound.A good night's sleep didn't make her throat dry in the slightest.The ale almost covered his entire body.
Unlike previous performances - now there is a little sincerity in the adoration and intimacy of the ale.
Probably from 5.00% to 30.00%.
"I know why you want me to investigate that!"
Seeing that the godfather did not escape, she hugged the godfather's arm without any trace, and couldn't wait to share the precious information she had investigated: "I found out that the 'Quan Shu' who was captured by the company before was sent Into the company of the 'Root Plan'!
"The root plan is researching a technology that can read other people's surface consciousness through a 'game helmet', and use instruments to drill into other people's dreams... I asked someone to take a photo with a drone, and I was wearing it on my familiar head." Such a helmet!
"The chairman of Tianen Group, she wants to try to invade our dream world through technological means!"
Chapter 54 The Godfather never wavered, probably
The malt wine brought another completely different answer.
For the board, their desire to improve their control over newborn mages is a very reasonable motivation.
Although for these elves who have experienced the battle of teaching methods, the spells mastered by these new mages are so weak that they don't need to care at all...
But as this generation of born uncoded people began to appear, the increase in the number and strength of the mage group is already a trend in the future.
Corporations want to control everything.Just like they use mind protection chips to control psykers... Now that mages have become a revival trend, of course they also want to control mages.
The malt liquor information did indeed match the reality——
At that time, Russell and the others were asked to capture the mage, and it was Kamalthe who wanted to forcibly annex the "Root Project".Later, the mage "full familiarity" captured by Russell was indeed handed over to this company... Although at that time, their boss had already run away and hiccupped farts, but the company itself would not moveable.Considering that the chairman himself has injected capital into this company, there must be shareholder seats...
With the three founders who have a higher shareholding ratio than the chairman disappearing one after another, although this company does not belong to Tianen Group in terms of equity, it can also be directly regarded as a branch of Tianen Group.
Kamalthe's death did not cause too many twists and turns, probably because he made his own decision - he wanted to intervene in the chairman's plan for his own sake, so he can only bear the responsibility for his death , Revenge by himself, and cannot be handed over to the company.
