Overturned Tower

"They have very powerful weapons, and know that you are going to Tongshen Island to deal with their problems, and they have mastered your movements in advance. You may not know, but I have some abilities similar to prophecy. I sense that you will Encountered very great danger on Tongshen Island.

"And my appearance here is an excellent excuse..."

She smiled: "The interview must take some time, right? You have to personally escort me to ensure that I am strictly detained, right? You can also say that I am involved in some kind of secret... Then Sun Island naturally has no right to let me know And when you return, you have to take me with you. After all, I have a "significant relationship". So you need to know exactly where I was detained and who is responsible.

"In that case, it's reasonable for you to be delayed for a while and not be able to catch up with the empty boat transfer..."

"……really."

Russell nodded cautiously.

He glanced at the ale again, and read the sincerity in her words.

He said seriously: "Thank you. Remember to tell the godfather that I will find a way to repay him."

"Ah... nothing."

Malt Wine was not used to being thanked so sincerely, as if he had put on inappropriate clothes, his body twisted a little uncomfortable.

Immediately, she handed over her hands and asked Russell to handcuff her.

These are not ordinary handcuffs, but electric shock handcuffs-the pain can make the psyker unable to maintain a specific emotion, so it can block the psychic energy.This is also an internal prop unique to the executive department...but it was obtained by malt wine.

After that, he watched the ale wake up the captain and the others.

When he left the airship, he was surrounded by the media as expected...

But the reporters on Sun Island were more serious and boring than those on Happy Island.They're here just as a matter of routine.

However, as Malt said, Russell's trip was indeed delayed.

By the time Russell personally escorted the ale to the designated area, it was already dark.

And the three bodyguards that Amirus had found finally rushed over.

It's just a little unexpected... There was only one bodyguard who came over.

It was a petite girl with curly long brown hair.

Her black pupils are bright and energetic, and her soul relative is a poodle like Miss Snow White.She was about to leave Sun Island for the first time in her life, and she was obviously very excited and full of anticipation... so that she was late.But by accident, he waited for Russell.

But it was different from the "bodyguard" that Russell thought - she was wearing a light blue and black tights, and there were many electrodes attached to her body.Those electrodes were all connected to her back... There were two rows of holes punched in her back, and there were many wires coming out of each hole, and the wiring was not very careful.

Her code name is "Ringo", a seemingly innocuous name.

The two colleagues of Ringo arrived first, entered the first-class cabin of Russell's empty boat ahead of time, and waited for him.

Although Russell did not arrive on time, they discussed it and decided to go to Tongshen Island to familiarize themselves with the environment and book a room for Russell—after all, they have never left Sun Island.Instead of waiting for everyone to catch the blind together, it is better for them to explore the way first.

Russell thought about it, and that was fine.Knowing that someone is blocking him, he really needs the support of the locals... Otherwise, he may have been figured out by the local snakes just after he arrived at Tongshen Island.

Russell soon realized, however, that he was being too optimistic about his situation.

He is not just "blocked" to this degree of rejection...

While Russell and Ringo were having dinner, they heard an urgent broadcast of the evening news on TV:

The airship that departed for Tongshen Island at 18:10 in the evening was attacked by fierce firepower from unknown forces in the neutral sea area where the two islands meet at around 20:30 in the evening...

Hit by twelve missiles, the fuselage was shattered—and crashed into the sea on the spot.

Chapter 11 Armed with Selfishness

Ringo, who was sitting opposite Russell, was still wagging his slender tail happily and excitedly asking Russell the purpose of their trip, but at this moment, he froze in place as if struck by lightning.

Russell was also startled, and his eyes widened.

His first reaction was to hurry back through the deer head statue and report that he was safe.

Otherwise, if the delphinium got the news from somewhere later, I'm afraid it would be frightened to death...

But before that, Russell had to comfort the "bodyguard" in front of him.

"Your colleagues may not necessarily have an accident..."

Russell softly comforted the words that even he himself did not believe: "Yongquan Island has sent an exploration team to rescue immediately... Although they may not be able to save many people, they are all excellent psykers. survived."

"...I won't forgive them...I won't forgive them!"

Ringo's face was flushed red, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

She folded her arms in front of her face and buried her head in it forcefully.

The girl was sobbing, and her voice was sobbing indistinctly: "Captain, and senior sister... woo woo woo... This must be the work of those rebels on Tongshen Island! It's them... They want to prevent us from landing, so they can't do anything." Will intercept us with mechs...

"I'm going to kill them, I'm going to kill them! Woooooo..."

Ringo let out a sharp and painful cry like a pet dog whose paw was stepped on.

The sharp cry made Russell's head buzz, but he could only sigh and let Ringo vent his emotions.

Shame to say.

Compared with pain and anger, he was more grateful.Russell was even ashamed of the congratulations.

If Malt Wine hadn't come to him in the name of Godfather, he should have been on the shot down airship at this moment.

She did save herself.

That's a full twelve missiles...

That kind of civilian airship can be shot down with just one shot.

After twelve missiles came down, Russell wasn't even sure if he could leave a complete gate.

If the "door" is damaged by external force and the door cannot be opened, Russell can't even use the power of the deer head to escape.

He can't swim... Even if he could, he couldn't survive in the middle of the sea.

The density of ships in this world is quite low. Only the Hudson Ocean Mining Company has fishing and oil production ships and operates on relatively fixed routes.

This doesn't count whether he will faint in the violent explosion, if not, whether he will be stunned and shattered by the impact force when he falls from a high altitude to the sea.

Those with a higher degree of prosthesis can't even float.will sink directly.

But besides rejoicing, Russell couldn't help frowning.

— Where did so many missiles come from?

The world has been at peace for over 100 years.After the war, all the sky islands destroyed their own strategic reserves under the supervision of the giant dragon, and the remaining mechs were basically kept as samples.Missiles are almost extinct these days...probably only a small number of heavy mechas are still installed.

The airship, which could be shot down with just one shot, took a full dozen missiles.This means that these missiles are fired at the same time in an instant.

Being able to unleash this level of firepower in an instant is probably the "Fire Opal" - a bomber-specialized fortress-type fighter.

The missiles carried on the Fire Opal are not precision-guided tactical weapons.

That was the blaster used when bombing the mage tower in the past, and it was specially used to break the barrier built by the mage.The largest model has a capacity of three rounds, and the damage radius can reach more than four kilometers, which is already the firepower of nuclear missiles; while the smallest missile model has fourteen groups, each group has twelve rounds, and each round has a damage radius of more than 60 meters.

Fire Opal can hide itself in the air in an invisible posture, and accurately guide twelve different targets within a radius of forty kilometers.And let these fired missiles also remain completely invisible within a range of five kilometers.

Because it is used to fight against those mages, in the concept of missiles, the range can be said to be ridiculously short.

But its invisibility ability is very strong-it is genuine invisibility.

Not only is it invisible on radar, but it can also make itself and the missiles fired invisible to the naked eye.

According to the statue of the deer, the bombing began when the church was directly close to the protective barrier of the mage tower.It's even possible to stay within invisible range the entire time, and leave before the mages can react.

If you are lucky, you can also enter the interior before the enchantment is opened.At this time, it will cause great damage to the mage tower.

——To be more specific, the deer head statue was blown to pieces by it.

The reincarnation facility where she was located ate a small missile inspired by the "Fire Opal", resulting in the death of almost all the successors.The deer head itself has only one-third of its body left, and the fake Tokifat has lost both legs and a hand.

Although the psionic armament made by God's misfortune can deflect and reflect a certain degree of damage——

However, just as the saint's beheading is just an extremely sharp light blade, the prosthetic hand named "Fortune and Misfortune" by Russell did not fully inherit the power of heaven-sent misfortune that can refract explosions.

The stronger the person who holds it wants to "preserve himself at all costs and sacrifice anyone for this", the greater the damage it can refract.You must hold the idea of ​​"giving this kind of harm to others with your own hands" in order to reflect the corresponding degree of harm.

For example, only those who have the determination to "detonate bombs in the neighborhood for their own safety" can refract the power of bombs; Only people can reflect the powerful attack of a sniper rifle;

In order to prevent himself from being cursed, the person who can curse others without hesitation can be immune to and refract the curse; in order to prevent himself from being burned to death, the person who can burn innocent people without psychological pressure can refract the burn.

——This is an ability unique to scumbags.

Everyone's bottom line is different, what they care about is different, and the morals they regard as taboos are also different.Because of this, the power that can be refracted by each generation of hosts sent by heaven is different.

The more irresponsible, selfish, and contemptuous people are, the stronger they are.

If there is a king of scum who has no scruples, united with a demon called "Heaven Sent Misfortune"... the upper limit of this spiritual power can even conquer the world.

The Russell fits very poorly with it, about the extent that it can only refract ordinary bullets.

But being able to seal it with himself so that it does not fall into the hands of scum... is also the greatest contribution that Russell can make.

Unless Russell can get the "Heaven-sent" mask and personally use this psionic weapon as a gift from God - otherwise Russell will not be able to defend against such a powerful missile.He even suspected that Tiansong himself might not be able to prevent it, perhaps only the demon "Heaven sent misfortune" could stop it.

This is undoubtedly a murderous intention.

Chapter 12 The Synth's Appeal

After the Shariah War, there was only one mech of each type remaining on each sky island.

After those synthetics stole the "Fire Opal", Tongshen Island couldn't open another one that was exactly the same.

No matter how you look at it, these are the hands of those synthetic humans.

In order to prevent Russell, an out-island agent hired by Shenzhi Heavy Industry to solve the synthetic human problem, from arriving at Tongshen Island, they controlled the Fire Opal in advance to shoot him down at sea.

This should also be to show Shenzhi Heavy Industry that they have the ability to control fire opal.

Fire opal can be invisible for a long time, and it is difficult to detect if it is parked in a high position.Synthetics, on the other hand, can park the fire opal above the target they want to bomb at any time, and launch stealth missiles to blow it up silently.

— This is a threat.

They should be asking for human rights, asking Shenzhi Heavy Industry to make their existence public and give them the right to freedom.

And Ringo was obviously aware of this.

Because of this, her sobs were full of killing intent.

For Russell, it may be just two bodyguards who have never met before... But for Ringo, they are the captain and senior sister she relies on, and they are the people she loves and cherishes.

Russell sighed deeply, heavily.

He had a straight face, and his expression became solemn after a long time.

The indifferent expression that belonged to "Godfather" and not Qun Qing emerged from his face.

"I was thinking about it, to see if I could save them...

"But now it seems that I have to reset my views on them."

Even if Russell himself is not counted, that is the life of more than 100 innocent people.

For the freedom of his own race, he did not hesitate to bomb the airship carrying more than 100 civilians...

——This kind of behavior has exceeded the limit of Russell's tolerance.

While there's no clear evidence that Synthetics did this... they do have a motive.

It is not yet known where the news that Russell wanted to investigate came from.

But the purpose of these synths is obviously to kill Russell, who was specially invited by Shenzhi Heavy Industry from the outer island, so as to show Shenzhi Heavy Industry their ability to control fire opal.

Although Russell is the "hero" of the outer islands, the people of Tongshen Island are hostile to heroes, and the people of the outer islands have stronger hostility.

If their actions are known to the people of Tongshen Island, some people may applaud them—the hostility of the civilians of Tongshen Island to the seven giants is also the strongest among the seven sky islands.

And if Shenzhi Heavy Industry wanted them in the name of attacking the "heroes of the outer islands", perhaps they would gain the sympathy and support of the people.

The core appeal of these synthetic humans is to obtain human rights and integrate into Tongshen Island.

They do not have the ability to reproduce, and if they want to expand their population, they must transform newborn babies who have just learned to speak into synthetic humans like them.And it is very reasonable that they cannot get newborns themselves... That is to say, if they want to expand their population, they must occupy the magpie's nest and take the lives of other people's children like cuckoo birds.

Because of this, after they got the Fire Opal, they didn't bomb the streets of Tongshen Island.

Because they are worried about being resisted and hated by the locals... Their original position is already very delicate.

But it doesn't matter if you are from the Outer Islands.

Although they can't be called "human beings", they are also infected with the unique xenophobic habits of Tongshen Islanders.
