Overturned Tower

Russell was silent.

Following the words of the God's Vessel, the memories that he had thought of before at Huachu, but that he had deliberately forgotten again, suddenly surged up like a rising tide.

Being told the hidden truth directly to his face by his "other self"... Russell could no longer deceive himself.

He didn't expect that after he made the God's Vessel, the first thing it would do was hurt himself...

——Although it will not bite itself, it will hurt itself by telling the truth.

The words of God's Vessel defeated the hypocritical paper wall in Russell's heart...

That was a part that Russell had already thought of, but deliberately ignored and pretended not to exist. It's the part of himself that he faces deliberately without being honest.

Although Russell has some special features, some talents that are slightly beyond ordinary people.

But when I was a boy, the specificity brought by those things was just "somewhat special".

Through contact, dialogue, learning from each other, careful research of information, private practice, etc., gradually copy the uniqueness of others, become their superior, and then gradually replace each other's communication relationships and interpersonal resources...

Although it sounds outrageous, this is indeed what ordinary people can do.

It was a special and humble way of living that was not very lovable and was feared by others... just like a sandalwood tree.

When it really started to get outrageous, it was probably after he came into contact with the suspicious boss who looked like a Naiya human being, and just one look at it would make Russell feel great fear.

...However, the parasitic instinct cannot be curbed.

Although he was frightened and apprehensive in his heart, the demonic nature still made him unable to control himself and touch the other party.

Since then.

At some point, the talent of "parasitism" turned into "distortion".

I only need a few words to understand the other person, and I can understand the other person's thinking tendency without secret investigation... I can even grasp the way of thinking of a stranger I meet for the first time, and I can quickly grasp the other person's uniqueness without having to study hard. Some advantages.

From that moment on, I may no longer be a pure human being.

The fear of "aloneness" of becoming special and no longer a mortal gave birth to the spiritual power of the "God Vessel".

The "Seed of God" he copied was imprisoned and sealed in a container called "Russell".

That’s why the container of God says that he is exactly the “other self”.

"...It turns out that this is the reason why I failed to get the devil's approval."

Russell sighed.

Because he has never been his true, complete self.

——But he doesn’t want to be like that either.

Long before he came to this world, he had awakened the spiritual energy called "God's Vessel".

In this case, the devil born based on the "complete Russell" would naturally not be able to obey him in this state.

It was just because of the oppression of that world, his self-deception of self-sealing, or the tricks of the dog boss that he didn't realize it. His psychic strength must also be more than two levels of blue shift... That's why he can become a "magic mirror" that reflects anyone.

Is this why I was sent to this world...

Once he broke through this cognitive filter that he had established at some point, Russell immediately realized that there seemed to be few normal people in that company. In other words, the "ordinary people" that each of them talks about are always calculated based on the average capabilities of "company employees".

For example, the roommate and senior who always pulls him unswervingly and prevents him from leaving this company... He always thinks that he only has the wisdom of a mortal.

——Fuck, he is a dog.

With Annan's ridiculously smart mind, he must have thought everything through.

He was holding me back and refusing to let him go... He wasn't just starting to run in real life just in case, he could find a "friend" he could trust by his side.

That's really disappointing. In the end, I was the only one who traveled through time...

"But why am I..."

Obviously my talent is the worst. It is precisely because you cannot do it on your own that you live a life of dependence on others and imitate others.

Imitation is a talent that belongs only to the weak.

If you really want to save the world or something...anyone can do it better than me.

Russell sighed slightly, feeling a strong and indescribable loneliness.

"It seems you have remembered everything."

The Vessel of God looked at the loneliness that appeared on Russell's face, and his expression became gentle: "Face your loneliness, it is the source of your strength."

That kind of tenderness can even be called pity.

Russell even had an auditory hallucination in his mind that "there is hell ahead".

Russell, who had the appearance of a godfather, looked at the container of God that looked like Russell, and asked quietly: "Do you have to let me become like this, my assistant?"

"—Am I actually positioned as an assistant?"

There was a look of joy on the face of the container of God: "Thank you so much, my God. I thought I was just a tool to reveal the truth. After telling the truth, I would turn into a mermaid. .”

"...You are so eloquent."

"Thanks to you."

"I don't remember being this sharp."

"I have sharp teeth and claws!"

The container of God responded with a smile: "As for 'must'... As another you, I can't help you deceive yourself, right? I woke up when you were most thirsty for power. This is my duty. ?

"The pleasant novice tutorial phase is over, my creator. You should also be aware that the first big event of the server is coming soon, and the boring novice farm phase must be over... wake up early Would it be better?"

"That's true."

"Then why don't you thank me?"

"That's a big thank you to myself."

"...Am I bothering you in any way by being here?"

Bad Day looked unhappily as Russell and his demon each said riddles that only they knew the meaning of: "How about you two eat this dinner and I leave first?"

"No, he doesn't need to eat."

Russell said indifferently: "If you want to leave, I will just eat two boxes."

The vessel of God trembled: "I can eat it! I want to eat it!"

Russell refused without hesitation: "No, you can't. It's time for you to leave... Go find Old Man Mi quickly and ask God to deal with the disaster. It just so happens that it's safer for you to go..."

The "Old Man Mi" in Russell's mouth is Amirus.

Although Bad Sun probably wouldn't understand it, he believed that the Vessel of God would definitely understand it.

Russell paused and added: "Remember to act like one. That old man is a serious thousand-year-old fox, don't make your own decisions... think more about what I would have done if it were me before.

"If you want to eat something, I'll treat you after these troubles are solved... Well, I'll treat you as a detective."

"Okay, okay... when you squeeze yourself, you really have the demeanor of someone who is about to die suddenly..."

The Vessel of God walked to the door with an unhappy look on his face as "Russell", opened the door and left his bedroom.

Russell closed his eyes and felt his spirit carefully.

As the container of God suddenly arrived at a place far away from its own body through the power of the deer-headed statue, the energy consumption to maintain the "non-existent container" suddenly increased several times... It was like slowly doing homework on the weekend, and suddenly It became a final exam.

If it could be maintained for twenty-four hours without any pressure, then with his current red shift intensity, if he wants to ensure his combat effectiveness, he can only maintain it for three or four hours. If there is a fierce battle on either side, the time may be further shortened... But if you can completely hang up, concentrate on maintaining the weapon, and go to sleep directly after recycling, it can still last for about six hours.

It's okay, acceptable.

Russell stretched out his hand and wiped his face, transforming into Alice.

She looked at Bad Ri with a smile and stretched out her hand: "Put the needle and medicine bottle in and hand them over to me, Xiaojing~"

"I don't know why, but suddenly it doesn't feel like anything at all..."

Bad Day complained.

When he heard "Xiao Jing" from Russell's "Alice" before, he seemed to feel his brain shaking - he knew it was Russell, but he still couldn't get rid of the impact.

But now when I hear this sentence again, I can clearly realize that "this is not Alice."

To put it metaphorically, it’s like a 3D animated character and a cosplayer who looks very similar. Although they look very similar, there is an essential difference.

...Is this the self-sealing that God's Vessel just mentioned?

Bad Sun murmured in his heart.

He didn't really laugh off what he heard.

Although he couldn't understand it at all, he remembered every word the God's Vessel said in his heart.

Not because of vigilance, suspicion, caution...

——But the subconscious concern arising from guilt and love.

The guilt of taking away Russell's parental love and the family love of being Russell's elder.

"Lonely...?"

Bad Ri subconsciously glanced at Delphinium, who was unconscious due to fever on the bed, and was a little surprised for a moment.

But in the end he said nothing.

Russell, who can be friends with anyone... is he actually afraid of being alone?

Or is it because of the fear of loneliness that one uses psychic powers to distort one's own nature to become friends with others?

So, what is the real Russell like?

Can Delphinium accept the real him?

"Love" and "loneliness"...?

It's really complementary. No wonder they are attracted to each other...

Bad days can only silently wish that the two of them can get salvation from each other——

In the name of the two elders, the most vicious criminal in the world sincerely blessed others for the first time.
