Overturned Tower

Whether it's the group of mercenaries, Amirus, or Bad Sun...

In the airship hijacking incident, everyone's behavioral logic had a faint aura of weirdness.

That group of mercenaries seemed to be hired by someone to take Amirus away alive. To do this they even got a special virus that only Babel possesses.

But since their boss provided this level of logistical support and even killed the flight attendants directly, why not use this virus to invade the airship firewall, directly obtain the passenger roster, and accurately locate Amirus' room? What about middle?

As Amirus, it is not difficult to know that the "Tower of Babel" will launch an attack on Happy Island before yesterday evening. But this time he traveled without a bodyguard.

All elves are unable to use psychic powers and hold high positions.

But Russell had never heard of news about an elf being assassinated... Considering that the head office couldn't cut the news, it could only choose whether to publish it or not. Then Russell is inclined to believe that none of these things really happened.

There are too many elves who go out without bodyguards - not only Amyrus, but also Russell's mentor.

Russell also heard an urban legend when he was a child, that is, elves can detonate the chips in other people's brains, causing disobedient people to be directly shot in the head... It was only later that Russell learned that there were some people called "uncoded people".

To take a step back, even if elves can control ordinary people who still have chips and those without codes who have lost their chips, they will never be able to detect it.

Uncoded persons cannot even be located - in fact, many uncoded persons have committed crimes such as "murder", "stealing", "misappropriation of public funds", "failure to repay debts", etc., in order to escape accountability under the company law. I just had my chip removed from a black clinic and became an uncoded person.

Once you become an uncoded person, you will not be able to live in the uptown area...on the other hand, the company will not be able to locate the other party.

All mercenaries must be uncoded. So why has nothing ever happened to the elves?

Russell is inclined to believe that elves should have another unknown special ability.

This ability can at least keep them from falling behind in front of psychics.

Russell had heard before that the Cyber ​​Church seemed to have the ability to sound similar to "divine magic"... Although they did not believe in any real gods at all, they could still obtain divine magic.

The concept of the Cyber ​​Church is very simple. Russell has heard them preach many times - the general idea is that whether it is civilization itself, individual talents, love between people, and awakened spiritual energy, they all come from The sea of ​​group subconsciousness, this sea is their "god".

But as an individual, our thinking cannot be immersed in the sea of ​​group subconsciousness. So they hope to allow all mankind to achieve cyber immortality...that is, mind uploading.

If everyone's thoughts are uploaded to the same server, then this means that all disputes, pain, jealousy, hatred, and incomprehension in the world will be resolved here. From now on, no one is alone anymore. Everyone can be an individual or a group. Everything they do is to achieve cyber immortality for all mankind in the future.

——Sacred Kara connects us and belongs to Yes. It’s also mixed with some flesh and blood, bitter and weak, and at the same time, it’s completed with a little bit of human beings.

Now that Russell recalled the time when the Cyber ​​Church was preaching, his expression would become very subtle.

Maybe the extraordinary abilities possessed by elves come from the Cyber ​​Church.

After all, the Cyber ​​Church occupies a floating island alone... In other words, their status is also supported by the dragons, and is basically the same as the head office.

The elves have lived for so long and still have no conflicts with the church. Then they have a close relationship and may even be victors - after all, there have been two world wars in this world.

This kind of speculation is also very reasonable, right?

If it is assumed that the elves have extraordinary abilities... then Amyrus is actually not as harmless and fragile as he appears.

Although he looked very grateful to Russell - if Russell was really a recent graduate and had not recovered the memory of his birth, he might indeed think from the bottom of his heart that Amirus was really a kind grandfather.

But right now, Russell felt... it was a bit too coincidental.

He still remembered that Amirus woke up with a groan after hitting his head against the wall. And there was no concussion reaction after waking up, it was just like being woken up.

Russell didn't know much about the virus... but its ability to break through the firewall was so powerful, so could its paralyzing control effect on the human body be lifted so easily?

It was then that Russell had his first doubts.

That's why he immediately adjusted his expression and switched to business mode.

But now, Xiao Liuli's words were like a sharp dagger embedded in the doubt in Russell's heart, prying it away.

certainly.

Considering that Xiao Liuli is now also a "demon" suspect, we can't completely believe everything she says and does.

But there is really no point in her lying about this matter.

If there were really so many people who knew, Russell would be able to find out through casual investigation - he knew how to use a disc himself, so it was very easy to get this kind of information.

While Russell was thinking deeply, Xiao Liuli became a little panicked.

She reached out to cover her chest, which was wet with wine.

It was as if he only noticed now that his thin white singlet was wet with wine and became translucent.

"Sorry, I'll leave for a moment...go change clothes..."

Xiao Liuli stood up and whispered: "I'm really sorry!"

"Ah, it's okay."

Russell smiled: "I failed to discover and remind you at the first time. Rather, this should be my responsibility."

"I'm really sorry... You can watch a variety show first, or listen to an opera. The program library here is quite complete."

Xiao Liuli said this, and before Russell could respond, he waved his hand in the air and opened the screen opposite the sofa bed.

Although everyone has a built-in video playback function in the chip behind their head, the big screen still looks comfortable.

Not to mention, it was a huge screen covering an entire wall - when it was turned on, a funny program similar to cross talk was played.

The canned laughter around him was even in stereo, echoing in all directions around Russell.

Seeing Xiao Liuli carrying her handbag and leaving the room... Russell didn't feel wronged.

He crawled comfortably on the soft sofa bed, squinting and listening to the cross talk.

It should be said that Xiao Liuli took it well... Although the wine was spilled, it did not make the sofa bed damp.

But it was not easy for him to lie down directly. The main reason is that he thinks it is rude to take off his shoes or not.

At this moment, Russell, who was lying on the sofa bed, couldn't help but sneeze - the scent of the three girls was mixed on the pillow, which was a bit choking for Russell, who had a sensitive sense of smell.

And when he rolled on the sofa bed and looked up at the screen, he unexpectedly discovered...

On the huge screen where the comedy program was playing, two huge red frames suddenly popped up, covering the faces of the two characters.

【Escape quickly】.

【Escape quickly】.

[Escape quickly] [Escape quickly] [Escape quickly] [Escape quickly] [Escape quickly]——

Immediately afterwards, densely packed warnings of different sizes kept pouring out like virus pop-ups, completely covering the entire screen.

"——Hahahahaha!"

The shrill canned laughter still surrounds me from all sides. The hysterical laughter was like someone laughing at Russell.

Russell's pupils shrank, feeling a huge crisis.

He suddenly jumped up from the sofa bed and behind him. It was as if he had slipped off the bed with a swipe... but happened to pass by a cold, heavy metal arm.

It was originally aimed at the back of Russell's head.

Frightened, Russell's pupils turned into cat-like vertical pupils, and he stretched out his hands to grab at the empty atmosphere.

Between the fingers of Russell's right hand, there were three emerald green translucent lights and shadows.

The non-existent tool, which was set to "only cut nerves and data cables," slashed along the end of the metal handle to about the shoulder. And there was a feeling that something had been cut.

Russell suddenly jumped back, raised his ears and looked around.

In front of him, a silent figure gradually emerged from the void.

——These are the men in black on the armed helicopter yesterday.

The prosthesis on his left arm hung unnaturally downward. It's obviously completely undriveable.

"[Iron Claw] cannot be used."

The man in black made a dull and vague voice: "Be careful, don't fight him in close combat."

——Is there anyone else? !

Russell's heart tightened.

The next moment, a muffled bang sounded from the void.

There was a casual bang... something was launched and hit the ground.

Through the firelight at the moment of launch, Russell saw two vague shadows and recognized the ball that landed at his feet.

——That’s a flash bomb!

Russell was shocked.

The bodyguards hired by this newspaper are absolutely amazing. Are you going to kill all Xiao Liuli just by touching her?

I am also from Tianen Group!

——And you are still using a prosthetic body made by me! !

"Stop, I'm from the execution department! One of my own!"

Russell picked up a pillow and put it in front of his eyes in an attempt to block the bright light of the flash bomb. His body bounced backwards flexibly while loudly identifying himself.

He also made a point of not saying that he was from the Special Execution Department.

But when the bright light flashed and Russell threw away the pillow...

But he clearly heard several sounds of opening the safety and loading the gun.

Most people would never recognize it, but Russell immediately recognized it...it was not an anti-explosion submachine gun used to fire rubber bullets - it was the sound of a pistol.

I saw four men in black being briefly revealed by flash bombs. Their bodies gradually blurred and disappeared while they indifferently loaded their firearms.

——Russell’s heart suddenly became colder.

There is no doubt that it is absolutely impossible for a regular security company to use live ammunition! Explosion-proof submachine guns and electric batons like those yesterday should be standing weapons!

"Don't jump out of the window, you can't open this window!"

Delphinium's voice suddenly came from the surrounding speakers: "Go up, or go to the hall and blend in with the crowd!"

But how can I leave?

Russell thought to himself.

However, at the next moment, the four people were suddenly forced to appear.

All of their prosthetic bodies became unresponsive due to overheating, and smoke was visible to the naked eye.

It's Delphinium!

She violently hacked and invaded their prosthetics and controlled them in place!

Russell was ecstatic.

It turns out that the support from teammates is really useful!

It was like a player who had been accustomed to being alone in solo queue for a long time. For the first time, he was in duo queue with teammates who were reliable and had a tacit understanding... He was so moved that he almost shed tears.

"The bad guy has already come in from the top floor! He is looking for you downstairs. He will arrive in about three minutes! You hide yourself first!"

The man who raised the pistol was unable to move.

And Delphinium's voice was rushing from the stereo speakers in all directions.

"But does this mean that you can find me on the other side!"

Russell complained.

Delphinium immediately said: "Unless they have been watching the surveillance, but the employees in the surveillance room are playing games...this group of people is not the same as the hive!"

"——Then I know where to go!"

It's the bathroom!

Easy to hide, difficult to hunt, easy to kill, and can escape through the ventilation ducts!

With Russell's jumping ability, he can jump directly to the ceiling without using a ladder!

So Russell opened the door——

"boom!"

With a crisp sound.

The man standing quietly outside the door held a whiskey bottle and smashed it on Russell's head!

Russell was suddenly dizzy and staggered back two steps. Blood slowly slipped from the corners of his eyes.

He covered his forehead and could only vaguely see a broad shoulder.

"Oh, I know you. Our newest hero boy..."

Under the smiling mask, a gentle and reassuring... honest, deep voice flowed:

"Russell...right."
