Overturned Tower

"...that's really mentally handicapped."

Russell nodded in agreement.

"Right? So I'm going to remember these operations that make me feel uncomfortable. If you encounter a similar scene in reality, you must be vigilant—it would be better to deal with it in reverse. I don't want to let myself become In any novel or movie, that annoying 'player'..."

The delphinium snickered like a fox, and suddenly leaned over and kissed Russell: "Just like this!"

"...There is such an operation in TV dramas?"

Russell froze for a moment, looked at Delphinium suspiciously, and didn't even realize that he was suddenly kissed.

"there is."

Delphinium left Russell again, walked forward with her hands behind her back, then turned around and walked slowly backwards: "When I see a similar plot, the barrage reaction is very intense. The audience will be very envious of the actor ...So I think that if you put it in reality, you might like it too.

"—So, do you like it?"

"I do."

Russell nodded honestly.

He also felt a little strange in his heart.

Is delphinium actually the type to learn this kind of thing?

"I used to think that you were the kind of serious...you wouldn't watch this kind of entertainment often, and would rather hurry up to finish work or improve yourself."

Russell said frankly, and reached out his hand to hold the delphinium who was still slowly retreating in front of him to prevent her from being tripped by debris on the road: "It's the kind that doesn't know the style, but is very enthusiastic in private. The type who hides his shyness seriously, but is actually unexpectedly innocent."

"It is true."

Delphinium smiled satisfied when she heard Russell's high evaluation of herself.

But she quickly went on to say: "But people can grow and change. I am no exception. For some reason, when I know that you have become the chairman... I can't get up to work."

Because I am too familiar, there is no work pressure of "I must do my job well, otherwise I may be held accountable".

...It is also possible that, as the holder of the "lethal dose of love", she was originally placed in the position of minister.She has no desire for power, but is forced to work hard only under pressure and a sense of responsibility.

And now, she is starting to become more and more lazy.

You can't learn from Russell, can you?

"And because of love, I also hope that I can become better, and I hope to give you a better self... instead of being accommodated and compromised by you. But I really don't want to be in contact with people, and my experience cannot be changed out of thin air. Come out. In this case, it is better to learn from virtual works."

"In fact, you can't learn much, right? After all, the characters in the virtual works, what they say and do, and how they react when they encounter something are all limited by the screenwriter's knowledge and experience, not necessarily Reasonable, but not necessarily universal," Russell said.

"Yes, so I plan to do the opposite - ignore the evaluation of the 'character' in the work, but based on the evaluation of 'myself' outside the play. Pick what I like to learn, and find out what I hate Correction. Because I thought, what I like, you probably like too...

"In this way, even in entertainment works, I can grow myself. Then it is not a waste of time."

Delphinium was serious and said very seriously.

In a sense, Russell was not wrong about her.

She is indeed the type who cherishes time very much and seeks the meaning of time.If you can't handle the work, improve yourself.

"...Then I understand."

Russell suddenly understood: "You are suddenly walking backwards, you just hope that I can catch you when you are about to fall? Because you can't see the road, but I can see the road behind you... So you actually put Put your own safety in my hands to show your trust in me."

"Is that so? I don't know the reason... I just put myself in the shoes and thought, if I were you and you were me, and if you did this... I would feel cute and keep staring at you .”

Delphinium said seriously: "And I just hope that you can keep looking at me.

"Instead of having a jealous attack and asking questions about 'Is it important for me or what is important', it is better to use such a simple little action so that you can protect me without any effort or danger."

Chapter 52 The Poison of Love

After his redshift broke through the wall of Leviathan, Russell could clearly feel that his personality began to undergo some irreversible changes.He gradually began to transcend ordinary people and become something superior...

In other words, he began to be gradually transformed into some kind of "longevity species" by his spiritual energy.

It's like a [Spirit].

Just like elves don't need to sleep—Russell also thought that maybe he doesn't necessarily need to sleep or rest.

But in order to maintain his humanity... or in other words, in order to make his brain think that he is still a human being, Russell will still live in the way of ordinary people.

Russell is very satisfied and comfortable with who he is now, and he doesn't need any major updates of the "makeover" level.Just like the old computer system, after you get used to it, you don't want to update it to a new and unfamiliar system.

When Russell and Delphinium walked outside before, he was quite sleepy. After all, he had slept less than ten hours in the past 72 hours.And there were more than six hours in it, and he was in the depths of the group subconscious, wiping around like a cleaner.

Of course, this kind of drowsiness is not because his body fatigue started to alarm, but just a psychological effect... In a sense, it is essentially similar to "synthetics think it's time to sleep".

So, after Russell got home, washed up, and lay on the bed, he suddenly felt refreshed again.

"Speaking of which, sleeping is certainly a daily life for ordinary people.

"But I think staying up late to fish and play games should be the same!"

——Anyway, I don't need to sleep, so why not save time and find Langyin to play games!

But just as Russell sat up, he was pushed back by the delphinium waiting by the bed.

"Don't go."

Delphinium's attitude was quite firm: "If you're not sleepy, just sleep with me. I'm sleepy anyway."

"...Then after you fall asleep, can I play games?"

Russell asked cautiously.

Delphinium dragged Russell over and hugged her in her arms, put her big fluffy tail on Russell's legs, and replied with a light smile, "If you can keep me from waking me up, you can."

It's not impossible at all.Russell thought.

But before he could put the delphinium to sleep, Russell himself fell into a deep sleep.

Lying in his childhood bed, hugging his loved ones, Russell's spirit was completely at ease.

But this time, Russell didn't even sneak into the sea of ​​group subconscious to work overtime, nor did he fall into the dream world. He had a very rare good sleep without dreams.When he woke up, he stretched a lot before opening his eyes.

Russell rolled over and lay on his back on the delphinium's lap.

Delphinium was looking at the edge of the bed where she was sitting on the outer side, next to herself, leaning against the upturned pillows.There was a blue stream of light in her pupils, obviously she was watching some news.

Seeing Russell approaching, Delphinium looked down subconsciously, then stretched out her left hand to touch his chin, and played with the warm cat ears with the other hand.

"how did you do it?"

Russell asked curiously.

He didn't ask exactly what he wanted to ask, but Delphinium understood what he meant.

"Because you're not exactly natural sleep."

"...Could it be possible that you drugged me?"

"Well, so to speak."

The corners of Delphinium's mouth rose slightly.

She reached out and touched the tip of Russell's nose, her fingertips were slightly blue.

Russell immediately smelled the faint fragrance of roses.

He immediately reacted: "So that's it, it's a new poison..."

"Because even if you fall asleep, you still can't sleep well. So 'Lethal Dose of Love' gave me the third poison. This new poison can block other people's ability to enter the dream world or sense the sea of ​​group subconscious ..."

Delphinium smiled and said: "A small amount of poison is medicine. Combined with the poison that can make people stunned and unconscious before, it becomes a poison that can make you sleep peacefully, and you won't be forced to sleep after falling asleep. Overtime medicine."

Delphinium's eyes full of love were previously on the subordinates of the executive department.

What she worries most is that they will lose control and become demons.That's why she was able to secrete the poison that "forcibly increases the blue shift by one level".

And later, Delphinium fell in love with Russell.After discovering that Russell always secretly stayed up late, she was very worried about Russell's physical condition... So she began to secrete a new poison, which can make people fall asleep quickly.

As for now, it is already the third poison.In the past five months, Russell has never had a good night's sleep.

The feeling visible to the naked eye is that the cat is gradually less jumping and playing games less.

Although Russell didn't say anything, and didn't yawn... but Delphinium just felt that he was starting to get a little tired.

It was a kind of exhaustion from the depths of the soul.

With this worry in mind, Delphinium secreted her third poison—the ability to temporarily seal and isolate others from interacting with the "sea of ​​group subconscious mind".

If it is used by ordinary people, the demons will not be able to sense him, so they will not be able to awaken their psionic powers; if used by ordinary psykers, there will be no response; if used by mages, they will not be able to enter the dream world...

And if he uses it on Russell, he will not be forced to fall into the maze of the mind every time he falls asleep.

"That way, you'll be able to sleep well."

"...Then, thank you."

Russell expressed his gratitude sincerely: "This is indeed the most solid sleep I have had in the past six months."

"Do you want it later?"

"No, I still have to help other people clean up their minds polluted by dusk. But if I'm too tired, I can use your ability to take a rest."

"Then tell me when you're tired."

Delphinium said casually: "Otherwise, if I think you're tired, I won't notify you."

She also used Russell as an anchor by the way, stretched out her slender fingers to lightly brush over his face, and turned a page of the news in front of her with gestures.

"I see... By the way, watching the news first thing in the morning is a unique habit of middle-aged men."

Russell complained.

The next moment, his mouth was gently covered by Delphinium's left hand.

"Don't be noisy."

Delphinium whispered, "This is the key."

"what's wrong?"

Russell opened his eyes curiously: "Is there something important? Let me see it too!"

"It seems that a lot of big things happened last night, and people died."

As Delphinium said, she reached out and pressed the news video that was playing in the void, and lightly threw it towards Russell, and shared it with Russell.

"...According to the latest analysis of the worship service, the movement trajectory of the icon vandals highly overlaps with the camera damage marks around the school streets. Through a comprehensive analysis of other relevant data, it can be concluded that the main executive members of the 'icon vandals' are high school students The possibility of is more than 62.8%, and this event is strongly related to the 'werewolf'.

"Sternly warn the imitators of the 'Wolfman' again. More than [-] imitators have been arrested this month. The praise party has decided to increase the penalty level for imitators by one level from now on.

"Continue to broadcast today's major news. Last night, the central food warehouse in Hestia District was destroyed again, and some of the fermented food stored in it was polluted by injecting sewage with syringes. The killer whale gang that had been frequently active in this area before Announced again that they are not responsible for this matter, and they will assist the Executive Department to jointly investigate this bad incident.

"This is the sixth time in three months that a food warehouse has been vandalized and the first time it has been vandalized twice. Two months ago, the 'werewolf' claimed to insert sharp objects into the bread and ended up in the More than 482 steel needles and [-] toothpicks were inserted into the bread, resulting in a total of [-] people being stabbed.

"It is a suspected imitator who used discarded disposable medical supplies to contaminate Coke that is about to be sold in the central video warehouse of Demeter District last month, causing nearly a hundred people to be sent to the hospital. About 8% of them are still there today. Coke was not recalled, causing extremely bad social impact. This time, the central management manager of Hestia District has sent all food for inspection as soon as possible. The research department of Sogo Group will use the concentration of bacteria in the sewage to analyze the Specific sewage areas sampled by the vandals will be analyzed."

Chapter 53 Iconoclasts

What appeared in front of Russell was a female announcer with a good appearance and solemn religious attire.

She looked more like a bishop, a priestess, or a saint than a moderator.While having enough majesty, there is no lack of affinity.

Every word she spoke was so clear and powerful that she could easily understand it without reading the subtitles, even if she was distracted doing other things.And the tone is neither fast nor slow, and the voice is friendly and clean, which makes people feel very comfortable.

"Not bad."

Delphinium commented: "Even by Tianen Group's standards, he is quite an excellent host."

"Sister Baozuan..."

Russell smiled disapprovingly: "She should do well."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because she's not human."

Russell replied.

She was known as "The Silmarillion Lady".And 20 years ago she was known as Miss Silmarillion.

But only a few people know—perhaps not so few, but at least within one-tenth, or even one-twentieth—that is, there is no such thing as "Lady Silmaril".

From what she looked like when she was seventeen or eighteen years old, to what she looks like now at the age of 38...even including the gags between her and other hosts, the daily chats, including some daily scandals, or life photos.All are virtual images drawn by artificial intelligence calculations.
