Overturned Tower

"... Mr. Qunqing, why didn't you wake me up?"

After Luo Su paid the money and the two left from the door, she lowered her voice in embarrassment and whispered softly: "Didn't this make Mr. Wuming and the others wait for three or four hours!"

When she woke up, she didn't even know when she fell asleep.

Russell didn't feel like he had made a mistake.

"I feel like I'm not wrong."

He just turned his head confidently and said with a smile: "Because you slept soundly, I really can't bear to wake you up."

At first, he just curled up in Russell's arms and cried aggrievedly, but at some point, Paradise Bird lay on Russell's stomach, grabbed his back with both hands, and fell asleep sweetly.

But she was still sitting on Russell's right.If you sleep with your body twisted like this, both Russell and she will twist your waist when you wake up.

So Russell used the non-existent device to conjure up another arm that didn't exist, lifted her legs, laid her flat on the sofa, took off her shoes, and came back to rest her head on his lap.

Fortunately, the sofa is long enough, and the bird of paradise is not high enough, so it can lie on it.

But no matter how light Russell is, this movement cannot be considered light.

Russell moved the Paradise Bird in such a way that there was no sign of waking up at all... At that time, Russell knew that the Paradise Bird was too tired.

I'm afraid she has been worried about the "Godfather" ever since she found out about the church's plan.

This little pigeon hasn't slept well for a long time.

Although the power of the Holy Order has a certain healing effect on the body, it can be recovered as long as it catches up on sleep.But with Paradise Bird's personality, she should be studying hard when she is free, and she will never do "lazy things" like taking a nap.

As a result, the tiredness accumulated for a long time came flooding back after her mood suddenly relaxed... The tears on her face hadn't been wiped off, and she hadn't let go of the hands holding Russell's back when she was crying. He fell asleep in that position.

She was so worried about herself, how could Russell wake her up?

Paradise Bird slept for a full two hours, while Russell leaned on the sofa, listening to melodious music and reading novels for two hours.

The delphinium in the middle has already contacted Russell, saying that she has already investigated the radish, and they will go to the "prototype" in the afternoon to have a look.

So Russell took a picture of the delphinium, a bird of paradise, sleeping so sleepily that he was drooling.

On the other side, Delphinium, who had already returned to the office, couldn't help laughing after seeing the photo.

She had just learned from the two angels that Paradise Bird would also become their new colleague.

Delphinium first asked the two angels for their opinions, and only after getting permission did they reply with a message: "Let the child sleep first, don't wake her up. Wuming and Bugle have already returned to the dormitory."

After all, it seemed that the child was too tired.Whether physically or mentally.

She just looked at the tear stains on Paradise Bird's face and the red eyes from crying, and instantly guessed what happened.

...Probably fell asleep while crying.

Delphinium's gaze softened.

Although there was still unresolved jealousy in her heart, delphinium felt that the child Paradise Bird was really pitiful, so pitiful that she couldn't help but feel pity.

When Russell came back to report on work before, she had heard from Russell about the special background of Paradise Bird, the "bishop without a code".

That was not an experience comparable to that of the "ordinary orphans" who were able to enter the orphanage in Uptown...

An eleven or twelve-year-old girl, her parents died, but she has high moral standards at the same time.Without any means of self-defense in hand, he lives alone in the lower urban area where there is no order and justice at all, and there is no daylight all year round.

In the beginning, they lived in a small organization relying on the rare kindness of others... But after the relationship of trust was just established, this "second home" was easily destroyed by others.

Her "new family members" were brutally killed, molested, cooked, and sold by thugs in the veil of ignorance...

Paradise Bird, who had witnessed all this with his own eyes, no longer dared to contact anyone, and just shrank in the dark crevice, barely living for more than half a year.When he was met by Russell, he was also caught by the people of the Veil of Ignorance... If he hadn't been bumped into by Russell who turned into a barber, he might have been arrested.

Delphinium, who was born in Uptown, couldn't imagine the horror that would be.

She felt horrified and horrified just trying to think about it.

Therefore, it is very normal for Paradise Bird to feel nostalgic for Russell.

In front of her, the motherhood and kindness in Delphinium's heart are already able to overwhelm Russell's desire for possession...

What made her admire even more was that even though she encountered such fear, Paradise Bird still maintained the greatest kindness towards others in her heart.

She can even awaken the power of the Holy Order with the strength of an angel.

She looked at the bird of paradise, as if looking at another self.

A small version of myself.A self who has been more miserable than himself, and thus has become more resilient.

Her strong empathy for the Paradise Birds made Delphinium feel fear and pain just thinking about her past... At this time, when she looked back at her peaceful childhood and her daily melancholy, feel guilty unconsciously.

So when she saw the tears on Paradise Bird's face, she felt her heart twitch.

...Speaking of which, she also cried and fell asleep back then.

Delphinium thought of herself at that time.At that time, she was not tough enough, and she often fell asleep crying like this.

When grandpa fell ill and fell into a coma, when her parents started arguing, when her father was about to sell herself...and when her spirit could kill grandpa.

But no matter which time, she dared not show it in front of her parents at all.I can only cry silently in the middle of the night, hugging the pillow alone.

After crying to sleep, I got up earlier than usual the next day to wash off the tears on my face.

One of the reasons why she worked late into the night and seldom came home... Maybe she still didn't think that her big house was her home.

In delphinium's cognition, her home has always been that dilapidated and old little house.

"receive."

Russell came back with a message: "You wait until the weather is not so hot before leaving. If she wakes up, I will take her there with her... Speaking of which, has the board's transfer order passed?"

"It's already here. I'll go through the entry procedures for the three of them soon...Speaking of which, you are considered a senior now, right?"

"Well, it's time for me to bring in new people... I can't live the days of sitting around waiting for money to cheat my salary like before. It's so painful, QAQ."

"Pfft..."

Delphinium couldn't help laughing when she saw the message from Russell.

She propped her chin with her left hand, and the corners of her mouth gently raised.

...that might be a little strange to say.

But Delphinium felt envy for Paradise Bird and Russell at the same time.

She also wanted to sleep on Russell's lap like this, and at the same time, she wanted the Bird of Paradise to fall asleep on her lap...or let Russell lie on her lap.

"Don't speak ill of me to Xiaoniao, or your salary will be deducted."

"Damn it, I never speak ill of others behind their backs!"

"The next time you take that child out for dinner, remember to call me."

"Okay, leave it to me~"

The delphinium's tail wagged happily.

She has never cared about what others think of her, so she actively social distances.

But that doesn't mean Delphinium is a hard-to-reach, aloof person...she's just afraid of trouble.

The Paradise Bird Bishop is obviously an exception.

——Although she still can't think of how to build a good relationship with this new colleague, Delphinium hopes from the bottom of her heart that this child will not hate her.

If she is hated by "another self", she may cry after a long absence.

Chapter 30 Russell Kidnapped

When Paradise Bird just woke up, Russell first took a picture of Paradise Bird's bewildered and bewildered expression, and sent her a screenshot as an emoticon package.

The delphinium is taking a nap too.

It is a habit for her to lie on the table and take a nap every noon... This is a habit she left behind when she was in school.

When you are a little free, you can use the fragmented time to take a nap.This will keep you energized.

This made the delphinium sleep very quickly, and it took only ten minutes to squint for a while.But it also makes the delphinium sleep more lightly, and it can wake up with a little movement.

...Only yesterday when I curled up on the sofa with Russell, I unexpectedly fell into such a deep sleep that I couldn't even wake up.

"Ah..."

She was woken up by the email Russell sent her. After waking up, she yawned, cut her hair, and was about to wash her face and start to leave.

She had discussed it with Russell before, and she was going to go directly to the "prototype" home.

At the same time, you can also exercise the Paradise Bird—this is what Delphinium and Russell just discussed.

Birds of Paradise have a natural flair for likability, just like Russell.Let Russell act with her, it is easy to let people relax their vigilance.

And cuteness plus cuteness is more than double cuteness... This is called the fusion effect of cuteness.

And Paradise Bird can make up for the most missing part of Russell.

Because Paradise Bird can really fight...

The only abilities that Russell can use as "Ultramarine" are the Weapon of Immortality and Saint's Beheading, followed by his own cat-like reaction speed and agile and light body.

He had explained to Delphinium before that his current strongest power can only be used by the identity of "Godfather".

An ability that ignores flammability and directly incinerates anything it touches...while also ignoring most physical attacks.

But once that ability is used, it will leave very easily identifiable traces.

Because it is not a real flame, as long as the colleagues from the Trace Section of the Executive Department check it, they will find the problem.

So once Russell wants to use all his strength, he must silence, and destroy everything around to erase the traces.

But Paradise Bird is different.

Her ability is completely "clean", and even has the privilege of killing people.

Of course, this privilege is not granted by the company or the church, but based on "consensus".

Everyone knows that the power of holy orders can only be possessed by good and righteous people.And once it falls, it dissipates quickly.

From this perspective, although Paradise Bird is not a "hero", it essentially enjoys the same power as a hero.

As a living saint of the church, if she kills anyone, people will definitely think it is the fault of the other party, and her actions must be just.Unless there is some hard evidence to prove that she has fallen from the very beginning... But this is very difficult.

If you want to exonerate an ordinary person, what you need to find is evidence of his innocence, otherwise he will be guilty by default; while heroes and saints need to find ironclad evidence of their crimes, otherwise they will not be able to convict them anyway - it is impossible for the company Risking public opinion and diplomacy to arrest a saint.

Although the Paradise Bird looks kind and cute, she is really a bishop.And she is a bishop, not because her power of the holy order is only at the level of a bishop, but because she is too young and has too little qualifications.

Even if it is a cardinal, Paradise Bird can defeat half of them.

When she first awakened the power of the Holy Order, she was able to fight against many psykers by herself without any equipment or training.But now that she has been trained and armed by the church, this seemingly harmless girl may be the best at fighting in the Special Executive Department.

Delphinium bound her and Russell as an investigation team, also to protect Russell's safety.

The bad guys are gone now...

If Russell encounters problems when he is investigating outside, it will be difficult for her to help Russell.

Delphinium is capable of fighting—although her psychic power is not suitable for combat, the transformation through psychic power arming is not too weak, and it is not meaningless to insist on exercising on weekdays.But her combat effectiveness is not much higher than that of Russell, and she may not be as good as Russell who burst out at full strength... If you want to play the most effective role, you have to apply for a machine soldier from the company.And that thing is obviously not suitable for the positioning of the emergency rescue site.

With new human resources, Delphinium designated the two angels as a combat team, and bound Russell and Paradise Bird as an investigation team.

In this way, if Russell and the Bird of Paradise are in danger, the Bird of Paradise can at least last for a while-at least until the angel arrives.

Besides, Delphinium had her own thoughts in mind.

In her eyes, the church is always an outsider...they joined the special executive department only because of the transaction between the church and the company.If you can join now, you can leave someday.

But since more than half of the church members are mixed in the team, if something goes wrong on Russell's side... such as accidentally injuring an innocent person, or killing a suspected demon, the blame can also be thrown to the Cyber ​​Church.

Although Russell is a hero, he is immune to the pressure of public opinion to a certain extent.But this is not the kind of immunity that is completely invalid, but the damage is accumulated.

The Internet has a memory.If in a later incident, the accumulated negative public opinion is gathered, it is still easy to hurt Russell.

Although there is no such sign at all... But Delphinium believes that she must plan ahead and manage Russell's image carefully.

In Happy Island, a "hero" is an idol with the highest purity.But as an idol, Russell doesn't have a "manager"...how can this be?

Some words, let idols say and do it will destroy their personality.

But if it's a broker, it's fine.

It is necessary to arrange for Russell in advance before he has any problems, so as to avoid the damage caused to him when problems occur in the future.

And this organization, which was used to vent "pressure" and give her an early ambush for Russell, was chosen by Delphinium as the church.
