Overturned Tower

For example, a person who is always angry and even quarrels with others because others look at him twice; or a person who eats all marketing strategies and is willing to cheat almost all of his money by the sales trap of the merchant ; or someone who chases stars until he is in a daze, fanatical like a believer...

Overnight, they suddenly woke up.

Angry people still have a bad temper, but they won't make people feel "angry for no reason"; people who love krypton gold and random shoppers still tend to consume, but at least they won't spend all their money or even ask others for help. Borrow money and take it for granted; star fans still like this star idol, but they will not lose their minds and become "weird" in the eyes of others.

And the most characteristic point——

That is, from the bottom of my heart, the rustling whispers that had always existed disappeared.Their nights were finally restful.

It is difficult for people who smell bad to smell themselves, and people who keep hearing small voices in their ears will gradually ignore that voice—there is a special power that will make everyone anxious.And people have already adapted to this "anxiety" for a long time, so they don't notice it at all.

But after Russell removed the "dirty", more than one person posted on the Internet saying that his mind became peaceful.

They don't realize that they have been trapped in a dream until they "wake up".

It's like a person who has been pushed away by his parents since he was born, and has never understood what he likes and what he wants to do...but one day he suddenly understands and his eyes light up.It's that sense of relief.

At the same time, the blue shift intensity of almost everyone has increased overnight.If the blue shift intensity is lower than the fourth level, it even directly increases by two levels.

People who were against each other for no reason but because of sudden misunderstanding or anger, hoping to kill each other, suddenly realized that their behavior was so stupid and apologized to each other; To the point of insanity, those annoying ghosts who have become "incomprehensible people" in the eyes of normal people look at other people ignorantly when they go to work, and even feel a little afraid of their former self.

Only those who are more depraved—a very small number of twisters who harm others but not themselves, or those who are crazy to an outrageous level, still maintain their own madness and distortion.

Originally, the whole society was chaotic, so they were not conspicuous; but now, it's like the citizens of the madman's country were thrown into a well with madman's medicine, and all of them suddenly recovered from their illness... and those who took the madman's medicine are still alive. Remaining chaotic, they become so conspicuous in an instant.

This is not one or two people, but a large group of people.

Then Russell suddenly realized something.

Because he is not from this world at all, let alone from this era, one thing that has been ignored all the time...

He has always believed that all kinds of chaos in this world are either "easy to understand, and the world over there will be like this", or "this is not very understandable, it probably belongs to the special offer of the cyber age and the world of spiritual relatives." ", didn't feel any problem.

But what if this chaos is actually man-made?

Or……

——Why does he think that the world he once lived in is the benchmark of truth and there is no problem?

What if people in this world have already accepted a kind of "sublimation"?

After all, they are not natives who have not yet left the star age, but the cosmic civilization that has entered the glorious star age.

Human beings in the twentieth century are very different from those ancient people in BC; and how can the gap between the cosmic civilization that can enter the age of stars and the human beings in the twentieth century be so small?

Even if civilization is broken and inheritance dies... But is it true that human degeneration will be so fast and so thorough?

Even if humans will degenerate, why would the name-calling elves begin to degrade?

Why is it that a good person like Delphinium, whose moral standards are far beyond the average, cannot awaken the power of the holy order?

So Russell had a bold guess.

——Perhaps there is such a curse that keeps deteriorating the human spirit.

This may be the "spiritual plague" that Lu Shouxiang said.

Just like the curse of the Tower of Babel in the legend, it creates barriers between people and disperses them to various places, making people unable to understand each other and gradually incubating unwarranted malice from the bottom of human hearts.

Once noble and pure like a god, but now humble and twisted like an ant.

And this curse may not be limited to this world... Even the world that Russell used to be in was also infected by it.

Russell has adapted to that environment, so he can only lament how depraved the world is.

But as Russell "dispelled" the corrosion of their hearts from the unknown curse they had suffered, their distorted posture dissipated in an instant.

It is not to say that everyone has become a good person or a saint overnight - but at least people have become normal people.

In other words, it has become a "civilized person" who "reasonably can roughly control the body and behavior", is not easily bewitched, deceived, and instigated by others, as if "has grown a brain", and has become more rational.

...Is this state normal?Am I abnormal?

Therefore, Russell decided to meet Sai Lun at this time—not entirely to reassure Delphinium, nor was it at this moment that he had a "hole card".

Rather, he felt that he was extremely close to the edge of the truth, so he wanted to seek an answer.

Chairman Sai Lun is one of the oldest name elves, and she came from that era.

...Perhaps, she can answer for Russell?

Russell didn't know where the chairman was.So he asked Delphinium to take him to the unlisted small company that Delphinium saw on the surveillance, where the previous "Shushu" went.

And they were lucky, Sai Lun was actually working here today.

She, who is respected as the chairman, is actually typing codes in such a small company.

The moment before they entered the door, Sai Lun turned around as if he had sensed it.And the door opened immediately before they knocked.

Seeing it with my own eyes, I can't help but marvel at how beautiful the lady is.That kind of gender-crossing beauty, although not as magical as Russell's mentor, still made Delphinium feel lost for a moment.

But the first sentence Sai Lun said with a smile surprised Delphinium:

"You managed to remove the influence of 'Dream', Thrall. That's amazing."

"I'm not Sal yet, don't say that."

Under Delphinium's astonished gaze, Russell shook his head.

He asked back, "What is a phantom?"

"A possibility of world destruction."

Without any Riddler link, Ms. Sai Lun answered without any concealment when they met for the first time: "A disaster called 'Twilight'."

Chapter 63 The Waking Egg

... Dusk, dusk again.

Hearing words that remind people of "Twilight of the Gods" and "The End of Everything" again still makes Russell feel that his heart is seized by inexplicable fear.

"An existence that brings the end of the world..."

Russell murmured softly.

Seeing Russell's reaction, the corners of Sai Lun's mouth rose slightly.

She turned her seat half a circle and stood up.

It was only then that Russell realized how tall Ms. Salem was—her beautiful appearance and the unique aura of a leader would make people subconsciously think that it was normal for Ms. Salem to "look taller" thing.

But when she stood up, her upright figure, which was at least a head taller than Russell and Delphinium, immediately showed her real oppressive force.

Ms. Sai Lun's height is at least 1.9 meters five!

The most exaggerated thing is that she is still wearing high heels.

Not to mention a woman... Even for a man, this is an extraordinary height.

Sai Lun's figure is not like a delphinium with a vest line feeling, nor is it slender and petite like Ringo or Paradise Bird.Her figure was quite plump, not to mention her breasts, even her thighs were two circles thicker than Russell's.

Even the roof seemed lower when she stood up.The lights seemed to dim.

"What would you like to drink? Is black tea okay?"

Sai Lun asked calmly and gently.

Delphinium was a little surprised.

She envisioned many possibilities, and prepared many plans with Russell.But I never expected that the chairman of Tianen Group, the actual ruler who is above ten thousand people, would have such an easy-going attitude.

"... I can do it."

Delphinium whispered.

Although she subconsciously stood in front of Russell, she felt a little afraid instead.

Russell, who stood quietly behind her, didn't treat himself as an outsider at all: "I want an iced Coke."

"Sugar-free?"

"Of course the ones have sugar, but the sugar-free ones are for people to drink."

"I have to add ice, right?"

"Expert."

Upon hearing this, Sai Lun just raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a gentle and even "maternal" smile.

She poured a cup of black tea for Delphinium - only then did Delphinium realize that although the company looked small and simple, the various facilities inside were top-notch.This black tea is not freshly brewed by Chairman Sai Lun, but it is not a ready-made product either.

She has a beverage cabinet, where all beverages are kept at the optimum drinking temperature and taste.Warm black tea, hotter cocoa, cola with ice cubes, bubbling champagne...all are divided into "cups" in advance and placed in different layers.

Afterwards, Sai Lun brought Russell a large glass of Coke, and served himself a glass of frothy cold beer.

The moment the drink was taken out of the cabinet, the Coke was still full of gas, and the outer wall of the beer was still dripping with tiny drops of water.

"Have you ever heard someone tell you about 'Twilight' before?"

Like meeting old friends, Sai Lun asked Russell casually.

Russell didn't hide either.

He nodded: "It's my mentor."

"Sally Ruth... I thought it was Thrall."

Sai Lun sighed: "It seems that the disaster of Tongshen Island should be due to the awakening of twilight."

she does not know?

Russell caught the details in this statement.

But he soon realized another thing: "You know Twilight well?"

"No one can say that they know the dusk very well, not even a monster from another world like Sally Ruth."

Sai Lun took a big gulp of beer, and the white foam broke around her lips: "I simply lived a long time..."

That was a drink that didn't match her temperament at all... Russell originally thought that she might bring out drinks such as red wine, black tea, or champagne.However, cold beer is completely beyond Russell's guess.

Or rather, after they came to this small office, he and Delphinium discovered that... their prior assumptions were almost completely invalidated.

The chairman who erected a huge statue of himself in the Tianen Park, and is the only one among the seven giants, is most likely the murderer who sent the curser to assassinate Alice, and at the same time the disaster that prompted the birth of the monkey-faced eagle. source……

But she looks so ordinary and easy-going.Not only is it not extremely violent, but it is even somewhat down-to-earth.

Rather, it's a bit too down-to-earth...

Russell glanced at the screen where she was working, and unexpectedly found that there were dense codes on her computer screen.

Does the chairman even want to write the program himself?

"Do you care about that?"

Sai Lun saw Russell's gaze.

The corners of her mouth raised slightly, showing off proudly: "It's not a particularly important program, I just wrote it for fun.

"It can read all the advertisements that everyone clicked on in the past month, and how long the user's eyes stayed on them. Using this method, we can further optimize the targeted advertisements.

"I'm going to add another one that detects hormone secretion and brain waveforms to achieve a more accurate judgment of will, and make auxiliary adjustments for each person's different habits. Anyway, there are relevant data in the mind protection chip, just call it...

"...Oh, sorry. You probably aren't interested in this."

Sai Lun put down his wine glass and exhaled softly. The faint smell of malt mixed with the smell of wine exhaled on Russell's face, making Russell's hair on his forehead tremble slightly.

"Where do I start..."

The chairman was a little distressed: "Since you already know the dusk, I think you also know the two 'locks'."

"Well, the ones in the sky and the ones in my heart. I also know the truth about the spiritual plague."

Russell narrowed his eyes, his body relaxed but his nerves tensed.

His voice was very soft, but at the same time his eyes were fixed on Sai Lun: "Why... Do you want to silence me?"

"For you, no. You'll be one of us sooner or later anyway."

Sai Lun smiled freely, and the glamorous face belonging to the "Chairman of the Seven Giants" actually had a taste of freedom of a knight-errant: "After all, you are different from your parents, and it is useless to kill them.

"Although you belong to the Tower of Babel, you are the Egg of Dusk. If you are killed or driven crazy, this world will really end.

"Let's put it this way. In fact, among all the name-bearing elves, I am also the most special one.

"Because of my position, it is the No.12 hour of the seventh day. That is to say, I am the last of those 84 people. The fate I bear is 'favor'.
