Overturned Tower

It was obviously moved by true feelings, so that some forgot that I was just a reporter: "So, when I heard the news of Xiao Liuli's death... sorry, Mr. Qunqing. I... said it in the comment area Some irrational words."

——Because in the news at that time, the person who killed Xiao Liuli was Qunqing himself.

Russell was still very young at the time, and could be touched by all kinds of little things.Xiao Liuli was the first person killed by Russell, and the "caged bird" was also the first demon sanctioned by Russell. That incident left a very deep impression on him.

Therefore, even if Russell was blackmailing himself, he decided to leave a bit of dignity for Xiao Liuli——

He didn't say at the time that Xiao Liuli was killed by himself after she lost control of her psychic energy and turned into a demon.

Rather, the veil of ignorance kidnapped an entire building of the "Hive Nightclub" with bombs.The bomb they left behind could not be dismantled by normal means, so Russell decisively killed Xiao Liuli as the bomb carrier to block the bomb, thus protecting the safety of thousands of people.

This matter saved little Liuli's face.That's why Morgan, who hadn't entered the Russell photo frame at that time, made a special trip to thank Ultramarine for giving her face.

This is one of the reasons why Russell later wanted to be called "The Barber".

The excuse he gave for the strangulation was only part of it.

To a large extent, it comes from the philosopher Russell's "Barber Paradox"; and another part of the reason is what Morgan said, "Thank you, and finally chose to preserve the reputation of 'Little Liuli'".

That sentence touched Russell very much.

While it reminded him of the code name "Ultramarine", it also reminded him of the name "Barber".

——If others want to live a decent life, he will find a way to make them live a decent life; if others cannot guarantee a decent life, he will come to help them get the final dignity.

Because according to the general censorship act on demons, the Special Executive Department must announce the latest trajectory of the "devil", why he degenerated into a demon, and who he contacted after his suspected degeneration.This is censorship as a familiar, as a sort of "rumor rebuttal" to explain why some people have had a recent change of temper - not because of any fault of their own, but because they were infected and turned into familiars.

And in that case, Xiao Liuli's identity must be announced.She used to be a man with a normal sexual orientation who had a girlfriend, but she was brutally transformed into a beautiful girl who didn't even have a soul relative in appearance, and was even forced by an evil organization to have sex with many wealthy businessmen. Cyan transactions, and even deliberately left video evidence for blackmail...

If she strictly follows the process, the videos she shoots and stays in her own space must even be published on the website after coding.Even the identities of those who had had a relationship with her had to be announced.

...That is somewhat outrageous, and Xiao Liuli's reputation will be completely ruined.

Even if almost everyone knows that idols and showbiz are definitely not clean.

——But knowing this kind of common sense is not the same thing as making news about this incident and hitting it directly in the face with a stone hammer.

From the perspective of interests and rules, Russell seems to be telling the truth...

In this way, with the collapse of the former top idol, Qunqing can immediately eat a super-large-scale whale drop-although in fact he still eats a lot later-and he can also stay in the post. Set an excellent performance record instead of eating a "fault record" on the first day of work.

You know, although Qun Qing killed Xiao Liuli to save the masses seems to be a trolley problem...

But the difference is that the "heroes" of Happy Island are not the police or the army. They clearly have the right to kill—they have the right and the obligation to injure others or take their lives when they judge that more people are in crisis. extreme measures to protect the people.Rather, this is the job of a hero, which is to protect the law-abiding masses by illegal means.

The reason why the so-called "heroes" have to be endorsed by the board of directors is because what they do is illegal.That's why the board of directors is needed to guarantee against arrest or punishment—that is, it is regarded as the "executor" of the director, so even if there is any fault, it can only be punished internally.

At that time, Tianen Group just wanted to use this to promote the Seventh Consensus, so this matter was directly criticized by the company, and Russell did not write a review.

But that event left a lot of ramifications.

...In fact, more than [-]% of Russell's staunch black fans are fans of Xiao Liuli.

It's not that they don't understand in their hearts that Russell's behavior at that time was "the greatest correctness".But they just like Xiao Liuli, so they can't accept this fact.

Obviously, Miss Dai Lan should have been such a little blackie back then...

And this child is too honest - as a quick product with her own traffic, she obviously lacks the emotional intelligence and insight that a reporter should have.

This kind of thing obviously shouldn't and can't be said in front of the camera.With Russell's current fan base, as long as she reveals that she was a black fan of Russell, she will immediately be attacked on a super large scale.

... This child is somewhat involved.

But Dai Lan is indeed a good boy.

The reason why Bingshui became good friends with her...is because Bingshui accidentally discovered that Dailan was trying to make news for the poor and report their poor living conditions.

Holding the idea that he might have found a fellow, Bing Shui approached and asked.It turned out that Dai Lan actually didn't know what she could do—she didn't know how to report, and she didn't know how to incite the masses; What exactly is needed, and she doesn't know exactly who she should use this news to contact and what to do.

She is just pure, she feels that she has seen this kind of thing and wants everyone to see it.That's all.

It was a pretty simple act of kindness.

It's very similar to Xia before she made up her mind.

Bing Shui lamented that he really sucks these silly white sweets, but at the same time decided to do some training.

So under the guidance of Bing Shui, she helped Dai Lan to do an issue about "Garment workers who get up at six o'clock in the morning in the apperception zone", "Truck drivers who travel between the Bridge District and the downtown area", "Small companies who work overtime until late at night". Programmer” and taught her to call for people to be paid more and work less hours in the videos.

Unsurprisingly, that video became popular, and directly promoted the decision of an average salary increase of 20% in the apperception area, and the decision to strictly investigate excessive overtime work in the Tianen area and the Luopan area.

It was precisely after seeing that video that Russell accepted Bingshui's request to "take good care of this ignorant little sister" for her.

So Russell simply took over the initiative and decided to take her a little bit:

"In fact, I have to apologize to the audience friends in front of the camera..."

Russell's serious expression and heavy words immediately attracted the attention of the audience, and the style of painting in the comment area suddenly changed.

Afterwards, the secret revealed by Russell exploded in the Internet world like a depth bomb, even in the deepest and darkest mud ditch, a few poop-yellow waves could rise: "Because Xiao Liuli is actually...not dead. .

"Or, she faked her death."

Having said that, Russell sighed.

... Coincidentally.

It seems that every drink and peck is a definite number, and all the good deeds he did in the past are now reflected on himself.

It was precisely because Russell saved some face for Xiao Liuli at that time that he could use this excuse now...

"At that time, Xiao Liuli had some determination in her heart. She believed that being a reporter would not be able to save Happy Island... So she hoped that I could cooperate with her and let Xiao Liuli's identity be suspended for a while, and completely died on the social level. This aspect is Let her be free, and on the other hand, let her make up her mind to suffer without giving up halfway.

"She removed the chip in the black market and underwent a complete body transformation. In the end, she entered the lower city as an uncoded person with nothing, contacted those who also had nothing, and experienced the deepest darkness.

"Those criminals, those wretches who have not yet committed crimes; those mercenaries, those who have been killed by mercenaries; Lost people in downtown...

"There is no law, and there is no so-called consensus. The chaotic killing and being killed, the powerless report to the group for warmth, and the tyrannical people slaughter and plunder. Compared with the upper city, maybe it just took off a layer of civilization, but the essence is still the same. It's not any different.

"After her long thinking..."

Having said that, Russell took a deep breath.

"—The hairdresser who was dubbed the 'Godfather' by the downtown area was born. The name 'Godfather', I think, may be to completely cut off from the old identity. She is no longer the idol of the people, but he will become the idol of the people Pioneer. It can be said that without the death of 'Xiao Liuli', there would never be a barber today.

"Then naturally there would be no 'Godfather' of the uncoded and powerless today, let alone the rebirth of the Aid Society.

"Yes, my friends...'Xiao Liuli' is the blue-haired young man. That blue-haired young man is the leader of the Fuji Society—my closest friend, 'The Barber'."

This is not a lie.

It can even be said that every word is true.

Without the death of Xiao Liuli, there would indeed be no "barber"; and it is even more impossible to have the Godfather and the Fuji Society.

Moreover, Xiao Liuli is really the blue-haired young man—the young man named "Blue Song Robin", who has been forgotten by everyone now.

I don't know, after the hairdresser's appearance has changed drastically and he is on TV, is there any friend from his past who can barely remember the name and the increasingly blurred face from the glamorous body...

That is also the small expectation and warmth in Russell's heart.

He purposely exposed himself to the camera to see if anyone could still remember "Blue Robin".In that case, perhaps it can also be said that his existence is not completely meaningless.

If there are still people who can remember him, it means that "Blue Robin" has not yet ushered in his third death.

Of course, Russell can guess what level of discussion the phrase "the barber is little Liuli" can trigger.

——And this happens to be Russell's best vaccination for people.

Sooner or later, Tian En Group will find out that the so-called "barber" is the "down and out singer Blue Robin" who disappeared a few years ago.They only need to reveal that the blue song robin is Xiao Liuli, and people will think they have been deceived - and then they only need to send out the black material video of Xiao Liuli, so that people who worship the barber will have Instability and internal turmoil.

However, with Russell's words... then everything is different.

He has linked "The Barber" with "Little Liuli", and all of this is traceable.Although this will also cause confusion and discussion among people, Russell believes that people will eventually agree.

The handsome, gentle and intelligent company executive is also the leader of the relief society who leads people to help each other and formulate new rules-he is also a former beautiful girl idol, and there is a high probability that he is the idol he once chased.This will not shake his authority, but will make him closer to the masses.

And after the logical equation that "hairdresser" is "Xiao Liuli" has been formed in people's minds, if the company bursts out that "actually, Xiao Liuli used to be called Blue Song Robin and was a man", it will not cause any more harm to people. shock.At most, it will make people "oh—" suddenly realize why she wants to change a male body.And don't think it's a deception.

...But if there is only this matter, it may be directly suppressed by the Tianen Group.

After all, what they did, although they didn't say a single word about their opinions on the company, but in terms of actual behavior, they were undoubtedly resisting the company.

So Russell directly carried out the final overweight——

In front of the camera, he stretched out his hand towards the delphinium.

Delphinium also reacted quickly after being briefly surprised.

She also adjusted her expression in an instant, showing a gentle smile in front of the camera, and crossing fingers with Russell.

"Xiao Liuli and the barber are both our mutual friends... Well, since she came to pick me up, let's mention it here by the way."

Russell said, and kissed the delphinium lightly on the lips in front of the camera.

He declared: "She is my girlfriend, my comrade...and my love.

"Her name is Delphinium."

Chapter 56 The shell is the core

Happy Island, Bridge District.

In the dark room, there are monitors of various sizes, which looks like a monitoring room.

A young man who hadn't washed his hair for a long time scratched his hair, stared intently at the screen in front of him with a cigarette in his mouth, and kept typing.A pair of smooth horns on the head reflect the brilliance of different screens.

Mark is a video host.In the past, he became famous as an analyst of Xiao Liuli's songs, but now he has switched careers and started to do news interpretation.

He was extremely fortunate... He watched this issue of "The Emperor's Talk Show".

To be honest, Mark usually doesn't like to watch this kind of show.It's not that the emperor's level is not enough... Rather, it's because the emperor's level is too high.

Mark thought he was just a maggot in a sewer, and he deserved to live in such a dark place.Even on the Internet, the deep-voiced, erudite "Mark" has a following, but that's just a projection of a better self.

He would feel uncomfortable just seeing someone like the emperor.The emperor's words and deeds have the charm of changing others, and this aggressive charm makes him uncomfortable-because he doesn't want himself to change.And Mark is convinced that with the emperor's appeal... If he listens carefully to his talk show every episode, he will soon unconsciously absorb some of the emperor's characteristics and agree with some of his views.

Mark knew he was a bug, but he just didn't want to change.

The last person who pulled him out was Xiao Liuli, but she was already dead.

She is not like other idols... her voice is sweet, her personality is innocent, and her lyrics are either full of temptation or full of girlishness.

Xiao Liuli's skills are very strong, but each of her songs is not a show of skill, but full of emotion.It was as if he could reach out and touch her heart.

Although the lyrics of each song are all about love on the surface...but if you feel and taste carefully, you will find that the lyrics are full of metaphors-she is talking about life.

She has a song called "Lovers in the Sky".It sounds sweet and romantic, quite girly, as if two people are flying in the air hugging and kissing each other, that moment is eternity... But if you savor it carefully, you will find that what she is talking about is actually a love sacrifice.It is the last free and easy under despair.

Another song of hers is called "One Way Arrow Forever".It started with a soft murmur, and gradually turned into a hysterical cry in the middle, as if a girl was expressing her heart that would never be conveyed... But what she actually sang was the fact that people at the bottom will never be able to touch their true dreams.

Every song of hers tells a story... "Under the Sunset" is about the young couple after school on the surface, but it is actually about the "growth" of the two who go farther and farther after graduation and never see each other again; "Bracelet" is about a man who suddenly finds that he has lost the bracelet given by his first love when he was packing up after getting married, but it actually implies that the company dog ​​has gradually lost the conscience and innocence of his youth under the company's hands.

Every song sung by Xiao Liuli is full of emotion.Or a soft whisper, or a sad cry, or a cry of pain—these are all songs she wrote herself.And her excellent singing skills can perfectly interpret these songs...even making other people's covers always "lack that flavor".

This is why Xiao Liuli is loved by people.

For her song is for all who suffer.It was sung for those low-level people... Although she is also an idol promoted by the company, she is undoubtedly "from this side".She suffers, she suffers...but she doesn't convey negativity to people.Every treble of weeping blood, every soft whisper will resonate with people.

She is always so glamorous, smiling, happy and cute.But in reality, as her true fans will know, she is sad inside.

She just wore a bright smile mask, hiding all her sorrows, doubts and pains in her core.

...But, Xiao Liuli is just a singer after all.

Her songs can make people identify, move people, and make people understand that she is not alone.In a certain part of the world, there are many people who have the same experience and experience as myself.With Xiao Liuli as the "center", these fans formed a bond of "although they have never met, but they have known each other".

She keeps people from being alone.But also just not alone anymore.

Xiao Liuli couldn't come up with any solution to the problem... because she herself was also in the middle of the game.

In fact, even though Ultramarine killed Xiao Liuli.But Mark, who is a loyal fan of Xiao Liuli, doesn't hate Qunqing at all.He even thanked the man a little bit.

Because Mark vaguely realized that in Xiao Liuli's recent songs... the gentle and tenacious power has faded and blurred, and the proportion of pain, confusion and despair is constantly increasing.

——Either degenerate into a demon, or "fly".

As Xiao Liuli's most loyal fan, Mark has clearly felt that... Xiao Liuli's always smiling mask is full of cracks.And her heart began to break.

One day, she will perish.But Mark can't do anything.

Because he can't change the world.He's nothing more than a ditch bug.

Before that inevitable day comes, Qunqing kills Xiao Liuli—to save the "innocent people".

Although Mark scoffed at those innocent people, he also thought... If Xiao Liuli knew that her shattered death could be exchanged for the lives of so many innocent people, she would also smile.
