Overturned Tower

Russell was still hesitant when he walked towards Room K128, where Xiao Liuli was, holding a bracelet that could open the door.

This behavior made him feel a strange sense of shame——

Of course, he knew that Xiao Liuli would not let him do anything, and he also knew that he was here on official business to inquire about information.

But he still felt a little uncomfortable.

In fact, part of the reason why Russell went to Happy Island to work was because of his mother's last words and his uncle's invitation. But another part of the reason is because Russell doesn't want to betray his appearance...

Russell's elf mentor has always coveted him a little...not so healthily.

She never even hid her desire.

At first, she just asked Russell to spend more time with her, cook for her, and read poems to her. The relationship was still very warm and harmonious. But then she started taking Russell with her to cocktail parties and asking him to hold up the drinks for her, which also made Russell drunk several times.

If Russell hadn't been completely drunk, she would have almost kept him at her home.

Of course, Russell's mentor can be regarded as a beauty in terms of his personal aesthetics and public aesthetics. Although she is over six hundred years old, she looks like she is only in her early twenties.

Rather, unless an elf is too old, it is absolutely impossible for him to be ugly—or even an "ordinary" individual.

Elves have an absolute ceiling in any field, such as appearance, talent, talent, physical fitness, etc.

It's like being an "adjuster". It has an overwhelming advantage for ordinary people.

If it weren't for the fact that the number of elves was too small, Russell would even suspect that the world didn't need ordinary people.

According to this statement, it seems that Russell's betrayal would not be considered as wronging him.

But that's not the case.

Because the more they got along with each other, the more Russell felt that... his mentor did not treat him as a "same kind" or even a "human being" with equal status.

Instead, treat him as some kind of pet.

Just like a pet cat raised by humans. It's just that there is a huge difference in size between humans and cats, and their appearance and physique are completely different... However, there is not that much difference between humans and elves.

——There is no need for sterilization.

It was also at that time that Russell learned from his mentor... that elves are naturally not allowed to have children.

Elves have special and designated means of reproduction, and must maintain a fixed, small ratio to the number of ordinary humans.

As long as the number of humans does not change much, basically every time an elf dies, a new elf is born.

This is to maintain the transcendent status of the elves and ensure that they will not have internal struggles due to insufficient resources, and then reduce their status due to internal friction.

The specific "freshman quota" each year is accurate to the person, and is decided by the eighty-four permanent directors at a meeting.

If a "hybrid" child is born, it must be aborted; if it has already been born, it must be "disposed" of.

Elf children who are outside the "new student quota" are not counted as elves or human beings, and they will not even be assigned a chip.

Russell's mentor clearly mentioned to him that if Russell agreed to her, there would never be a child between them. Russell will not be given any reputation.

But if Russell wanted to, he could stop working and stay at home to be raised by her... Because the aesthetics of elves and humans are different, and "aging" in the eyes of humans is not a deduction in the eyes of elves. She promised to raise Russell until he died of old age and would not raise any other "pets" during this period.

If you don't plan to be "adopted", you can just come over and "trade" at any time, just like the cats in Cat Cafe.

——This was made clear to Russell after she avoided being drunk by her mentor for the third time.

Although Russell had not retrieved the memory of his previous life at that time, Russell's dignity still did not allow him to really become a domestic pet cat.

However, Russell did owe his mentor many, many favors.

In addition, his mentor is indeed beautiful and intelligent, and Russell is not so pretentious as to think that he is really at a disadvantage because he is just a softie. It's just because he couldn't accept his mentor's attitude of keeping him as a pet for a while... But humans and elves are indeed completely different races. This understanding seems to be true for elves who can easily live for more than a thousand years. Not wrong.

Therefore, it was difficult for Russell to refuse outright without a suitable excuse.

Just when Russell was about to be unable to support this persistent "passion for pursuit" and even wavered a little...he finally had an excuse to go to Happy Island to work.

——From this perspective, my uncle’s invitation can be said to be very timely.

So Russell even fled to the airship in embarrassment, and even when he was almost on the airship, he sent a message to his mentor to tell him about the incident... Because of this, he carried almost no property with him.

Otherwise, if he had told his instructor in advance, he would have been forced to pack a backpack full of various things, and a large amount of points might have been deducted from him.

However, in that case, the favors I owe will be even greater.

Even if these things are like a piece of ham sausage or a package of freeze-dried food to the elves, their value is not worth mentioning at all. However, Russell still held the concept of "fairness" - the kindness he calculated in his heart was based on his own situation, not the other party's property.

Even in the Beehive Nightclub, it's just a fair trade.

Today's situation will inexplicably remind Russell of that experience...

But until Russell used the room card to open the door of Xiao Liuli's room - the shocking scene made him froze in place.

Perhaps due to the misguidance of the previous female high school student with Xiong Er, Russell subconsciously thought that Xiao Liuli had probably found a handsome boy and was drinking in the house.

However, after Russell opened the door, he found that lying in the arms of the drunk Xiao Liuli, who was wearing a mask crookedly, and feeding her wine... were two disheveled beauties.

One of them is a straight black girl with horse ears, and the other is a black cat with short black hair and a small body.

After seeing Russell, who was wearing a smiley mask, pushing open the door, they did not cover their bodies. Instead, they burst out laughing like heckles and waved to Russell to close the door first.

"I didn't mean-"

The slightly tipsy Xiao Liuli raised her voice and raised her voice like an uncle, even snapping her tongue: "Don't bring me a man!"

"I want a beautiful girl, a black-haired one! Beautiful! A beautiful girl!"

"...Miss Blue Songbird."

Russell closed the door and said helplessly: "Sorry to bother you, I just want to see you for something."

In order to prevent Xiao Liuli's identity information from being leaked, he did not directly pronounce the name "Xiao Liuli" in front of the two girls.

Xiao Liuli's professionalism was obviously good, but she recognized Russell's voice in an instant - the moment she heard Russell's voice, Xiao Liuli trembled with fright, and she almost woke up from the wine.

She even spilled some of the wine glass in Black Cat's hand and poured it onto Xiao Liuli's chest.

The short-haired black cat is obviously well-informed and has a lot of experience in the situation before him.

"...Then let's avoid it?"

She asked softly and considerately - not to Russell, but to Xiao Liuli beside her.

Xiao Liuli nodded eagerly.

After the two girls wearing smiling masks left, she jumped up from the sofa bed in embarrassment, began to arrange her clothes, and subconsciously straightened the mask she wore messily for drinking.

"Sit down, Mr. Russell..."

Her voice once again returned to the voice of her previous idol, but there was still some uncontrollable trembling.

Although she was still wearing a crying face mask, Russell was sure that Xiao Liuli's face must have turned red at this moment.

Russell looked at her with some sympathy.

Although Russell has never experienced it himself...but this is probably what social death feels like.
