Overturned Tower

So far, Delphinium has not been able to confirm whether the chairman has noticed her.

But she has already investigated all the things to be investigated.Important information has been placed in her private space, and if something happens to her, it can be sent to Russell regularly.

She was harboring the dread of impending death.

But at this moment, the only, faint regret in her heart...is that she has not yet been able to marry Russell.

Specifically, what is the point of being married or not?Anyway, what should be done has been done.

The feelings and relationship between them will not change because of this.

However, what delphinium values ​​is the unique sense of ritual.That sense of ritual can soothe the subtle anxiety in her heart... It's not that she is worried about whether Russell will not love herself, but that she feels empty because she doesn't have enough inscription and foundation for this relationship.

"... Anxiety, and engraving?"

Delphinium murmured.

Her hand holding the sharp knife and cutting the steak suddenly stopped.

She seemed to understand.

Why the Russell family is so outstanding, so powerful, so rich...the reason why they are still "not happy enough".

Because their purpose, what they want to achieve, has exceeded the limit that "wealth" and "talent" can reach.

It is true that they possess much more things than ordinary people like themselves, but their goals are also higher, and the great achievements they want to achieve are equally difficult-they are also killed because of the "can't ask for" disaster. Constantly tortured.

What makes them suffer is the overly strong "hope" and "love" - ​​if they can choose to go to the side of wantonness and simply throw away the shell of morality and "you should", then It won't hurt anymore.

——The bottom of the delphinium's pupils has a rainbow-like brilliance from light blue to deep purple, constantly flowing.

And behind her, a gigantic flower demon emerged silently.

The delphinium is entangled in thorns, and the pain of the thorns pricking her skin keeps her awake from this compassionate emotion.

Without a sound, her psychic power has gone a step further.

Redshift of the eighth level - reaching the same level as Russell and Bad Day.

But the irony is that "lethal love" is not advanced because of feeling "love".

On the contrary, she felt the misery and desolation of fate.

Inexplicably, Delphinium remembered the huge statue of the chairman in Tianen Park.

She has a beautiful face and a compassionate expression... Until today, Delphinium and Russell agreed that that kind of compassion is nothing more than the tears of a crocodile, which is the personification of an idol.A caramel shell created especially to destroy—fragrant, sweet, fragile, false.

But now, delphinium somehow felt some empathy from that face.

That kind of compassion may be serious.

"All beings suffer..."

Delphinium muttered to herself, the words her mother said once, and she kept them firmly in mind: "Birth is suffering, old age is suffering, illness is suffering, death is suffering, separation from love is suffering, resentment and hatred are suffering, not getting what you want is suffering, five shades are blazing... ..."

She had a sudden urge—a psionic-driven, irrational urge.

She couldn't just stay where she was, waiting for Russell's action and the protection of her companions.

She can't always be a tool, a gear, a fragment, a dreamer, a shadow... She should also have her own, inherent mission.The awakening of psionic powers is the proof.

——If you raise your head and look directly at the stars.The fulfillment and happiness of the past will be far away from you, and who is to say that "meaningless misfortune" is not another ritual to find your true self?

She wanted to know why Russell and the others gave up and worked hard for.Desperate for something...for what to cry.

She wants to ask herself, whether she, who was born ordinary, can become that kind of person one day?

This answer, she has to make by herself——

She tries to make a difference with her own determination, her own desires.

It is not to be a vassal of others, and never to be a mediocre and vain person, let alone a dull shadow.

She wants to meet the mysterious and dangerous chairman Sai Lun in person.

Chapter 27 Russell's prediction in the atmosphere

Although delphinium made this dangerous decision, it was completely dependent on its own free will.

But she didn't want to cause trouble for Russell because of this-for example, she disappeared and disappeared without a sound, and Russell searched like a headless chicken anxiously and confused; Being kidnapped and threatening Russell who was unprepared; even her actions may destroy a certain plan that Russell is working on.

"Pursuing freedom" cannot be a reason to cause trouble for innocent people, let alone an excuse to worry those who care about themselves.

She decided to tell Russell her feelings and decisions.In this way, if he disappears without a trace, Russell can at least know where she went.

Delphinium didn't want Russell to go crazy.

No matter what decision and reaction Russell will make in the future, she will listen carefully and try her best to accept it.

But she will not change her decision because of this - she must go to see Sai Lun alone.

Because she has something to ask her.

Those were words that were inconvenient to ask her in front of Russell, in the presence of any acquaintances.

Delphinium's own intellectual and moral sense were once her shackles.But now when she chooses to jump from a high place, it becomes a safety rope that bounces her back—this is a dangerous behavior close to self-destruction, but because of this, it becomes a relatively controllable behavior like bungee jumping. stimulating exercise.

Rather, it is a kind of courage to face danger directly.

Instead of relying on the unverifiable matter of "whether Sai Lun has noticed her" as the dividing line between safety and not, and entrusting her own safety to others, she is in constant fear, and even in the middle of the night, she may be caught Someone came to the door, and now the beautiful and happy life was awakened by the fear of being shattered in an instant...

Then it's better to hold your chest up and not retreat but advance.

——Just like if she wants to check, she can still find information about "Sheath" and "Alice".

If anyone ever suspected Delphinium, wanted to investigate her.So no matter how she conceals it, these things will be revealed sooner or later.

She doesn't want to be the kind of ostrich that hides her head in the sand.

However, specific plans need to be carefully planned.

Freedom is not caprice, and courage is not recklessness.Since I have a bright mind, I must use it fully at any time...

Just when Delphinium was about to finish eating the steak, she suddenly received a pop-up message from an acquaintance.

It was a voice message from Xia:

"Sister, where are you now?"

It was a flustered and nervous speech.

Delphinium's heart tightened slightly upon hearing this.

She calmly replied as if nothing had happened: "What's the matter, Fredericka?"

That was Xia's real name.

Since Xayah confirmed Russell's relationship with Delphinium, she has been calling Delphinium "sister".

For some reason, although delphinium has no blood relationship with her, this name is much more fluent than calling Russell "brother".With ease, Xia could sweetly call her sister and delphinium to come together.

And with delphinium's indifferent and stable character, it is easy to get Xia's approval and admiration.

Considering each other's identities, the two exchanged their real names.

But even knowing Delphinium's real name, Xayah would often call her by her code name, or simply call her sister.

——Although according to the relationship, she should actually be called sister-in-law.But for some reason, Xia always felt that her sister-in-law couldn't say it... just like calling Qunqing "brother", she would be inexplicably shy.

Nowadays, when Xia does not call Russell "Mr. Qunqing", she will also call Russell "Master Brother", which can also be translated as "Dear Brother".That is a very formal, so that there is some written language.But only such a slightly raw name can keep her from feeling unwell all over her body.

...Although Xia has always admired Qunqing, she also quite approves of it.But as expected, she still couldn't accept the fact that she suddenly had a cousin who was very close to her.

And then, Xia's words made delphinium a little moved: "Something may have happened to Bingshui... Sister, are you at home now? I'm driving a floating car, and I'll be there soon!"

"You come to Russell's house, Fredericka. I'm not at home. I'm at your brother's."

Delphinium calmly corrected Xia's destination.

"Great... Is my brother at home too?!"

"No, he's not here."

Delphinium asked earnestly, "What's the specific matter? If it's urgent, please tell me the general situation first."

Anyway, the floating vehicles are basically AI-guided, unless they are attacked to avoid missiles, or need to do dangerous maneuvers in narrow places, otherwise they generally do not need to be used.

So Xia explained the general situation to Delphinium——

To put it simply, it is the follow-up effect of yesterday's incident.

Despite Comb's rough and savage attitude, uncomfortable words and deeds, and vivid performances, he presented a dramatic image of a "rather unflattering anti-Fisher".But his radical remarks did ignite the public opinion field of the entire Happy Island.

Of course, his performance is still in place.Plus, he's tied himself to Russell's image as "the enemy of Ultramarine."

Because of this, those who hate him and criticize him have an absolute upper hand in the field of public opinion.

It can be said that even those who don’t have any opinion on this matter, and even hate brushing their teeth, will be classified as “associated with tooth brushing” because of their “anti-relief society” attitude.

Now on the Happy Island, the views of those who oppose the relief society have undoubtedly become "exporting against the wind".

Some celebrities, idols, and wealthy businessmen even publicly opposed the "Fuji Society" before, asked Cyber ​​Church to strengthen management, or made the company believe that the existence of the Fuji Society violated the company law-"involving unfair competition", "supporting illegal Armed gangs" and other remarks will also be frantically attacked by netizens who are gradually getting on the top and becoming more and more violent.

Before today, no one cared about this kind of topic at all.

After all, the existence of the "Fuji Society" is just a legend to the vast majority of people on Happy Island.Most of them have never seen a member of the Fuji Society in their whole life, let alone any relatives and friends who have joined the Fuji Society—before they first came into contact with the Fuji Society, the whole world seemed to be different from them. Aid Society has nothing to do with it.It may even be doubted whether it really exists.

Even if they really joined the Fuji Society, they may not be able to find out that their relatives and friends have joined because of the principle of keeping secrets of the Fuji Society.

Combing teeth tied this topic with Russell's traffic.By the way, the keyword "board of directors" that everyone cares about was added as a combustion aid... so the topic immediately burned.

Almost everyone hates the image that grooming creates—fat, ugly, aggressive, malicious, kinky, self-righteous.It looks like a collection of "ghosts" that everyone experienced as a student.

In fact, even every detail of this image was carefully designed by Russell.

I can only say that Combing is a very good and dedicated actor...

Students are more easily incited...and more innocent and stupid than adults or even middle-aged people.

Their thinking is simple and straightforward, either one or the other, yin or yang.They can even associate and spread spontaneously, and even without saying anything, they can start to sensationalize themselves.

Their energy and desire to attack are more exuberant, and therefore more emotional and aggressive.

Of course they don't know what the Fuji Society is, and they don't know the value of its existence.

They don't fully understand what the high-ranking "Seven Giants" mean... If they haven't started their professional in-depth study from institutions of higher learning, they still can't fully understand what "talent" and "talent" mean; If you are working, you have no way of knowing what is the use of "birth" and "appearance", and you will be full of longing for life after graduation in the future, as if you can be promoted and raised in the blink of an eye, become a minister, and marry a white man. Fumi.

Because of their carefree nature, they are the ones most likely to be involved in attacking the Fuji Society.

——Russell, as an excellent public relations person who was valued by the boss, had already predicted this step three steps in advance and perfectly predicted it.

Chapter 28 In a hurry, right?

Before the opponent officially started to attack, Russell began to plan the layout, so he caught the opponent by surprise.

In turn, he tied his "idol image" to the Relief Society and created an "ugly enemy that is easy to defeat".

Use a shorter logical chain—a better, more beautiful, stronger, smarter, and easier-to-win empathy position, to capture the most sensitive emotional receptors first, and combine them with the topic excitement you created.

In this way, those who would blindly support the other party's opinions were easily pulled to his side by Russell.

As for adults—unless they are those with small vested interests who don’t want everyone to get any convenience, and don’t want to go further for themselves, they more or less support the Aid Society.Because the existence of the Fuji Society means "possibility".

The more people who have been beaten, the more they care about the "back road".So even if they don't need to make a special arrangement, they will be more inclined to Russell's side; even if the other party tries to win over, they will only pay several times their energy and get a fraction of the effect.

Therefore, this battle of public opinion has just begun, and Russell has already entered a situation where he must win.

The only turning point is to let Comb Ya be attacked and killed by the "Fuji Society", and at the same time destroy his mouth.

Through this news, they can lead the image of the relief society to disorder, out of control and violence, so as to cause people's shaking, doubt and self-examination.People who aren't really good at reflection, just turn their brains into diodes and flip to the other side entirely.

When the public opinion of the opponents has accumulated to a certain level, another big accident or catastrophe will be used to ignite the fire, detonating the accumulated emotional points from the "survival crisis", and suppressing them with the fear of "innocent injuries and death". to the fear of "life without hope".

Therefore, they did not hesitate to send someone to assassinate Fang Ya.

And even this step was predicted by Russell in advance.

In other words, this behavior itself was guided by Russell.

Russell introduced combing teeth into the topic of Fuji Society through fake assassination, and let him be invited by the emperor to participate in the talk show. The concept of "assassinated by the Fuji Society" will be implanted into the subconscious mind that knows about it, and it will become the first choice in their minds.

It wasn't something they came up with, it was Russell who made them think it up.

He sent "Silence" in advance to protect Shuya... Even if Shuya couldn't defeat them alone, Silence could save him.There will be no video recordings that will be released.
