Overturned Tower

"I think, I should have no reason to refuse. After all, compared with reality, dreams are so fragile..."

"It's okay, it's not shameful."

Russell sighed: "If it was me before, I'm afraid I would have chosen the same way."

Whether it was before or after he awakened his past life memory, Russell was a man of life.In other words, he studied hard before in order to be able to enjoy life one day in the future.Other than that, what happened to other people and what the world would do in the future had nothing to do with him—unless it was a tragedy that happened before him, he would have to take care of it.What happened decades or hundreds of years later had anything to do with him?

But now, he is sitting here with his partners.He intends to use his own flesh and blood to fight against the demon king who can devour the world.

……how so.

In the end... since when did Russell start to give up the idea of ​​living his own life in a down-to-earth manner?

"I really miss it."

Russell sighed: "It's only been a year..."

Russell, who can easily see into the hearts of others, does not even realize which event and moment he has changed invisibly.

Is it the pope, monkey-faced eagle, sheath, Camarthe; or delphinium, bad sun, bad guy, emperor, strangler, bird of paradise...or little Liuli, Hua Mingshu, Morgan and Sailun?

——Thinking about it now, it should be all of them.

From that mediocre mortal, he truly became a "hero".

"Speaking of which, tomorrow is your birthday, Ultramarine."

Lang Yan suddenly said, "What birthday gift do you want? The death of the monkey-faced eagle... is that okay?"

"Don't give away the head for your birthday, it doesn't feel very auspicious."

"I declare in advance that if the gift you want is too bizarre, it will be difficult to find it for you on Yongquan Island."

"Just a blessing... Tomorrow I will marry Delphinium. As for the wedding, I plan to wait until I return to Happy Island. Then I will bring Bingshui and Xia, as well as my uncle and the old man."

Russell suddenly showed a smirk: "If you really want to give a gift, why don't you accompany me to get the certificate?"

"...Why do you still have my business?"

Strangling on the side suddenly felt that he had been hacked for no reason.

He argued palely: "I didn't say I would give you a gift. I haven't had any birthdays in so many years."

"Didn't you eat all the cake today?"

"Xiaoya bought it for me!"

"It's all the same. As a reward for thanking me, isn't it also a share of me. That is to say, I ate my birthday cake in advance. Since I ate the cake, I have to give some gifts. And, according to my love for you The understanding of the two pieces of wood, if you leave it alone, you will definitely be able to procrastinate.”

Russell tapped the table with his knuckles: "This is too unfriendly to the girls. Procrastinating like this is a waste of feelings and makes people feel uneasy."

"No, no."

The white lion shook his head again and again, obviously still retaining his reason: "How old is Xiaoya—don't try to lie to me, you want to find a group of reporters to torture me. I won't be fooled. What's more, Xiaoya is already in the hospital .”

"Tsk."

Seeing that the strangulation was not fooled, Russell smacked his lips.He really wanted to use the wolf talk as an excuse to kick and strangle him by the way.If he really agreed, then in the next few months or even years, there will be topics to tease him.

But why did this stupid lion become smarter after falling in love?

So Russell had no choice but to turn around and say, "Forget it, but you—Wolf Yan. You even have children."

"But we've only known each other for three days! I don't even know her real name, and I haven't even met her parents, relatives, or friends!"

"But your children are all one month old. The number of months is the same as the delphinium," Russell argued, "You don't want to be an irresponsible father like your father, do you?"

"...Wait, let me stroke it first."

Langyan felt a little pain in his head.

He felt a little dazed and didn't know how to respond for a while.

Although it can be said that he fell in love with Camerer II at first sight, after all, there was no understanding between the two of them.

...No, it doesn't seem to be.After all, he still has a deep understanding of Kamalthe.

However, this child is already pregnant...

He doesn't seem to be able to just leave it alone.Because he really doesn't hate Lothar, and it can even be said that he is relatively favorite among the opposite sexes he comes into contact with.

...But, but.

The 27-year-old who has never been in a relationship, always feels that his life has skipped too many plots.It's like pressing SKIP impatiently when playing a game. After the plot animation skips, I suddenly find that there is a cub beside me.My mind suddenly went blank.

— Where did this come from?

"Lothar, why don't you tell me?"

Russell looked at the wolf words and became entangled, so he looked at Camerer II.

The elf girl with long black hair glanced at the young man shaking his head beside him, who seemed to feel that his antlers were heavy, and turned her head slightly.

"...I don't want to force 'Shabby' anymore. 'Camalthy' has hurt him too many times."

She was a little disappointed, and seemed to be a little unhappy. She was silent for a while, and then said seriously in a low voice: "Since he doesn't want to, then forget it... Sorry, I was too self-assessed before.

"If you find it unacceptable, I can also dissolve the child again-please don't worry, it is also a part of my destiny, so it can also be regarded as a fragment of my soul. In this state, it has no life. I can also recycle it at any time..."

"...No, I'm fine. I'm sorry, I just...haven't adjusted my mentality for a while. But I will try to adjust..."

Hearing Camalthy II say such words, the inferior rejected it almost reflexively: "It's better to give birth to the child, because I..."

He paused and gritted his teeth.

At that moment, he vaguely felt a throbbing in his heart.

"—Because I'm definitely going to be a good father, absolutely!"

He almost gritted his teeth, and said very firmly: "Absolutely - it's different from that man! I will never... hurt you like he hurt his mother, and I will never hurt you like he hurt me... …No, hurt our children."

Seeing this scene, Russell hesitated for a moment.

Is this also a kind of love?

Can hatred and fear of the past turn into a kind of love...

A young girl who, because she has committed a crime, does not want to repeat the sins of the past; a young man who, because she has suffered herself, does not want others to suffer for the same reason.

"...You really look alike."

Russell sighed: "In every sense."

—but this is not love.He can be sure.

The two people who are bound together by the fate called "Camalthe", even though they have already kissed, had children, and even married...but their love has just begun.

It is a different type of love from Strangling and Xiaoya—the two of them are the sacred love of each other's redeemers, one saves the other's soul, and the other saves the other's life.

And Langyan and Lothar are like couples drawn by fate.

Those are two cautious souls who are testing each other.They all love each other subconsciously, but they will hurt each other subconsciously; they hope to understand each other, but they are afraid of hurting each other unconsciously... This is absolutely impossible to reproduce, the miracle before "knowing each other" "Love".

Because of the existence of "Camalthe", the two of them almost knew most of each other's personality when they met each other for the first time.It's like a father and son who have been together for more than 20 years.

But at the same time, the other party was not exactly the other person they remembered.Kamalthe didn't know the present when the inferior fell into "Silence" and matured; the inferior also didn't know the past of the girl who constituted the main part of the personality of "Kamalthe II".

Incomparably familiar with each other, but full of strangeness.

"It turns out that there is really love at first sight in the world."

Delphinium whispered in Russell's ear, "I remember you told me that it was all just for sex."

"There must be something like that."

Russell also argued in a low voice. "I thought of a great metaphor - they're like paper men for each other."

"It's weird, but it seems very appropriate..."

"Right."

Just when Russell and Delphinium were whispering, Langyan and Lothar were silently looking at each other, and the white lion was eating the food bored, the door of the private room suddenly opened.

This should be impossible - this itself is the highest level nursing home in the world.Even a cyber hacker of Delphinium's level cannot open the security lock of this kind of private room without making any movement.

But to him, it seemed reasonable again.

Because the one who came in was a middle-aged man in a simple black robe with black cloth belts tied around his eyes.

After he entered, he found an empty seat and sat down on his own.Then he poured himself a glass of wine—the wine on the table had not been touched by anyone except the strangulation.Because except for him, everyone present did not drink alcohol.

It was facing the door, the empty seat between the strangler and the underdog.

After he sat down, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became stagnant and heavy.

The smile on Russell's face disappeared instantly, and he looked at the man silently, but did not speak.Lang Yan frowned, and also stared at the man.Camalthy II clenched his fists nervously, and was also ready for an emergency rewind.But the white lion didn't lift his head at all, just looked down at his fingers and picked his nails intently.After a long time, he reached out and grabbed a piece of meat pie, chewing slowly.

Because they all know this guy.

The traitor to Babel, Russell's father, Alice's husband - killed the "sheath" of the dragon.The sharpest knife of the Cyber ​​Church, the main force in killing monkey-faced eagles... is also a top assassin capable of killing any of them in an instant.

Sitting here, he looked a little decadent between his brows and eyes, but an aura like the night breeze made people nervous unconsciously.

"Are you getting married?"

Sheath suddenly asked, "Is it your birthday?"

——You still know my birthday?

Russell originally thought he would mock like this.But he finally opened his mouth and said nothing or answered.

Delphinium looked up at Russell's expression, but also pursed her lips tightly and did not answer.

"Have you gone back to see Alice? You should go back, the Pope told me that he has seen you."

Sheath said to herself, as if she was talking to herself, and also as if she was talking to the wine glass in her hand: "It's good to get married...you should be the same age as Russell today, delphinium? It was time to get married, Alice and I had just married that year. Russell was born not long after that.

"We thought it would continue like this..."

After Sheath's words fell, there was still silence on the table.

On the dining table that was full of laughter and laughter before, there was only the sound of strangled chewing food slowly.

The silence lasted for nearly 5 minutes before Sheath drank the glass of wine in one gulp.

That's a strong alcoholic drink.Not long after drinking it, Sheath's face immediately turned red.

"You have a good career now, and you have your own dreams. I won't stop you..."

Sheath whispered, "But, don't be like me. Don't do things that you will regret...don't do things that will hurt the people who love you.

"Anyway, protect yourself. Because there are people who love you, because there are people who need you to love.

"Don't be a piece of shit like me, Russell."

"--absolute."

Russell raised his head, and said word by word, extremely clear: "I will never be you."

Sheath also raised her head silently, looking at Russell through the black cloth.

After a while, a smile appeared on his face.

He poured Russell a drink, then poured himself another.

"Raise your glass."

The sheath raised her voice, or she was declaring.

"—To those who want to kill me."

Russell silently raised his glass, staring at the sheath through the glass.

Delphinium was the first to react.

She poured herself half a glass of wine, and raised it.

Next comes the bad guys.Then Camalthy II.The last is strangulation.

When everyone at the table raised their glasses, Shea still didn't drink the wine.

"—It just so happens that there is still a glass of it."

A lazy voice sounded: "Then there is no need to pour the wine, this jug belongs to me..."

The door opened again, and a man with a pair of white dog ears and a cold diamond eye in his left eye stepped out from behind the door.

It's a bad day.
