Overturned Tower

Because at that time, this psychic power already belonged to Delphinium.

She has mastered psionic powers for six years.

And delphinium and that woman have completely different expressions of "lethal love".

"That doesn't matter."

Russell responded in this way: "The key is not whether the curse at that time took effect...

"The reason is that, long before I was born, someone wanted to curse her to death."

Russell remembered, savoring the emotion in that man's psyche.

—Shock, consternation, disbelief, regret, love.

Taken together, this man must have understood something.

Even if he didn't know it at the time, he probably understood later... what stupid things he did back then.Or it may be used by the wicked to do something that he regrets for the rest of his life.

"The problem is not the means, but the motivation..."

Delphinium murmured.

Her heart moved, and she felt that she had thought of something.

But the inspiration is fleeting, and it disappears before it can be grasped.

She sharpened her paws unwillingly, and raised her head: "I'll follow this man first, he must know something."

Russell replied slowly: "Yes, exactly."

His mind reflected the back of the man when he left.

Rather than leaving, it is better to say escape.

"Find his address. Then we'll capture him...and then secure him.

"—The person who tried to curse Alice back then must have something to do with the person who cursed her to death half a year ago."

Russell said in a deep voice: "After you find him, I'll call Bad Day.

"I think he should be interested in it too."

Chapter 14 The Phantom Betrayer

On the surface, Russell is sitting quietly and obediently in the pizzeria in the form of Alice, while Delphinium is curled up and resting on Alice's lap.

But in fact, at this moment, Russell has another picture in his mind all the time - sharing everything she sees with delphinium.

In this way, he personally experienced the dexterity of Delphinium's cyber incarnation.It's like watching a holographic image, watching Delphinium occasionally escape into the nothingness of pure data, leap and run skillfully in the network, and control all the cameras around it.

It's like a virtual hunter who only lives on the Internet.

The pure white wolf spirit was running freely, following behind the man who looked a bit crazy, following the various traces left by the man.

While distracted by the vision reflected in her mind, Alice nodded to the waiter who brought the food, showing a gentle and polite smile.

She pointed her eyes at the delphinium, and at the same time put her hand to her lips, making a "shh-" motion.

The young waiter immediately understood what she meant and nodded repeatedly.He quickly covered his mouth with his hand, indicating that he would not wake up the delphinium.

The child was obviously still a little worried - after he returned, he immediately grabbed the other waiters who were laughing and talking, and whispered something.At the same time, he looked towards Alice.

...What an overzealous kid.

Alice was a little helpless, but she didn't correct the other party's misunderstanding.

Instead, she clasped her hands together, closed one eye, and tilted her head to make a cute request.

In fact, just because Alice guessed that the other party would ask the question "Is this lady asleep?", she simply signaled in advance that the delphinium was asleep.

In the end, he didn't expect the other party's reaction to be so great.

Is it because of the looks of himself and the delphinium?

Or, is it simply a good mood or a nice person?

But that doesn't matter.Since the other party has good intentions and wants to help them, of course Alice will not try to correct the other party's misunderstanding——

With Alice's gentle personality, not only will she not explain clearly when the other party misunderstood, but she will simply turn around and ask the other party generously, so as to cater to and satisfy the other party's kindness.

We can't let good people be disappointed by doing bad things with good intentions after they have good intentions—if it's not troublesome, it's better to cater to them or help them secretly, so that this "good thing" that was originally a misunderstanding will come true.

In this way, I only paid a small price for cooperating with the other party to play a scene.But the other party can get positive feedback and "girl's gratitude" because of his kind thoughts and deeds.In this way, the mood of the other party will also improve.

It is a pure joy of "self-actualization".It is so powerful that it may even reverse a person's psyche and even save a person.

Taking a step back, it is also possible to increase the "sum of happiness" and "sum of goodness" within this group.

This kind of thinking mode is completely different from Russell's...it doesn't care about the truth or justice, but puts itself in everyone's shoes.Not only to protect the safety of the other party, but also to protect the dignity and belief of the other party.

This kind of gentleness as delicate as water, light and invisible, is exactly Alice's way of doing things.

At this moment, in Russell's mind, the thinking core belonging to "Russell" was temporarily separated.

Just like a CPU with multi-core computing, Russell remained completely calm and objective while thinking.

For the first time, from such a close distance... he came into contact with "the truth of the past".

Those doubts that he had temporarily shelved and silently remembered in his heart gradually surfaced at this moment.

——First of all, this curse-killing act itself is unnatural.

When Alice first left Happy Island, she was not yet anonymous.

As long as you send mercenaries there, you can also assassinate her.Those who can investigate psykers who have concealed their identities, force or request them to kill with curses... such people can definitely afford to hire mercenaries.

Why do you have to let a weak psyker with two levels of strength try to curse Alice?

It doesn't help at all.

Sheath's identity at the time was the bishop of the Cyber ​​Church.Although Russell doesn't know whether the sheath can do this kind of thing... But the Cyber ​​Church can bless others and heal wounds through the power of the Holy Order. This weak curse should also be easily removed.

One piece of evidence is that in Nan Liujing's memory, there has never been a scene where Alice was weak or fell ill.Before the sheath left her, she hadn't even been sick.

That is a matter of course, the next question is...why did the sheath leave Alice?

And why did Alice stay quietly on Sogo Island for more than 20 years?

Even if it was to hide his identity, it was too long. For 20 years, the sheath never came back, and Alice never complained to Russell about him...

Moreover, if the sheath had betrayed the Tower of Babel at that time, then Alice's hiding place should have become unsafe.

Why didn't Alice evacuate?

Correspondingly, the third question is—why did the second curse kill against Alice increase to four people, and the success rate suddenly increased?

Russell remembered that Alice was not the only one who was cursed to death half a year ago.

"Doctor", "Cuckoo", "Lycoris", "Aurora".

Within three months, four official members were cursed to death one after another.And this is the motivation that made Bad Day try to contact Russell and pull him into the Tower of Babel for protection.

According to him and Lu Shouxiang, it was a traitor related to high-level internal personnel who leaked the information.

Bad Day strongly suspects that the "sheath" of Babel has been betrayed, but there is no proof.Russell at the time believed that this might be a prejudice, an arbitrary judgment mixed with personal emotions.

But now, after seeing the "monkey-faced eagle", Russell suddenly realized—is it really so easy for the members of the Tower of Babel to betray the head of the deer?

The technology developed by the monkey-faced eagle is the same as that of the deer head.

The next... and most critical question is.

Who is that "betrayer"?Or, does this betrayer really exist?

Looking back now, the sheath had left Babel for 20 years.

A full 20 years - can he really still enter the back door of that year?

In 20 years, this back door has never been repaired or reset?

And, what exactly is the back door of the Tower of Babel?Why is it only known to high-level people?

Today's Russell should be considered a high-level person.Whether it's status, background or ability...his status within the Tower of Babel must be at least at the level of a cadre.

So, what separates Russell from the others?

After thinking about the "peripheral members" he had met, Russell knew the answer.

——The only difference between the so-called "high-level Tower of Babel" and ordinary members of the Tower of Babel...

The question is whether they have [seen the body of the deer head with their own eyes].

Chapter 15 found the mastermind

Anyone who has seen a deer head will be implanted with a virus called "Deer Head".The virus itself is part of the deer's head portrait, her clone.

This is the key for them to open the "any door" anytime and anywhere, and it is also the escape ability that the cadres of the Tower of Babel rely on most for their survival.As long as you don't get sniped or assassinated quietly, as long as you have a little space to pull, you can basically run away.

And because the deer head statue has only half of its body, it has no combat power.That's why she stayed in that confined space forever.

The significance of the existence of that transitional space is obviously to prevent "the situation where someone follows any door and rushes into the Hall of Paths".

For example, the movement speed is too fast, or it is quietly followed in, or it is invisible.It is also possible that some locator was launched.

That's why she left a buffer zone.

If someone wants to betray the deer head, he can only lead them to the hall of way.And if he wanted to enter the room where the deer head portrait was really located, he might have to teleport again in the middle.

——In other words, Deer Head has considered the possibility of someone betraying or being held hostage from the very beginning.

So, can the "deer head" virus that she implanted in the brains of every core member of the Tower of Babel really only "open the door"?

Since it can send a request to the head deer to open the door and help the head deer "open the map", it should at least be able to communicate with the head deer.

Is it possible to use the deer portrait as an "artificial intelligence assistant" to make inquiries and query information?

Furthermore, if this request is too much... Deer Head can completely write a program to perform these requests instead of her.

— For example, a program capable of investigating other members' identities at will.

That must have been the problem.

That's why the new members, including Russell, and the old members, including Bad Day, are temporarily unable to contact other members.

So far, Russell has had little direct contact with other old members.If there is a need, he also asks Bad Day to transfer it on his behalf.

The other old members also did not know Russell.

In other words, at least when Bad Day got to know other old members, the Tower of Babel did not cut off contact.The newcomers in the Tower of Babel became strangers to each other, and they were suddenly cut off from a certain moment recently.

Since this back door is directly related to the head of the deer, it means that the head of the deer must know who the traitor is.

But she remained silent and did not tell Russell the answer directly.

——Conversely, the reason why Bad Day can almost confirm that the traitor is the sheath is because the head of the deer has revealed something to him?

After all, he is different from Russell, who has a bold appearance and a deep personality.

Bad Day is almost the opposite of him... He looks like a cold and indifferent killer, but in fact he is quite irritable inside, and he can't calm down.Even though he respects the head deer very much, after learning of Alice's death, he will definitely ask the head deer the truth.Will not be quiet until at least one answer.

However, Bad Ri did not dare to say directly that "the traitor must be the sheath".He just said it was very possible.

This is not because he doesn't trust the deer head enough, but the deer head didn't tell him the definite answer.So Bad Day was almost able to lock the sheath, but not entirely sure.

So, to summarize a little bit.

The reason why Alice has been waiting on Sogo Island and not moving, the evidence that the bad day believes that the traitor is probably the sheath, the reason why the deer head image never said that the dead sheath is the traitor...and, why the sheath has already betrayed on the surface It took more than 20 years, but it was 20 years later that Alice was cursed to death, the internal channel of the deer head was closed, and the bad day thought that the sheath leaked information...

If we were to put all these questions together—then there would be only one answer.

——That is, the betrayal of Sheath more than 20 years ago was actually a fake betrayal.

With a mission in mind, he went to the dragon camp as a traitor to the Tower of Babel.

That's why Bad Day didn't hunt him down, and Alice didn't leave her original residence.

Therefore, the deer head still trusts him, leaving him with high authority to query the information of all other members.

That's why Alice has always lived a silent and poor life incognito on Sogo Island... She is not afraid of her identity being discovered and executed, but as a "betrayed" on the surface, to cover and Be a real sheath traitor!

The thinking of the giant dragon is mechanical and one-way, so it only needs to use this method to successfully complete the deception.

Because the scabbard at that time was not a traitor, but a spy who broke into the dragon camp through his identity as a traitor!
