Overturned Tower

On the surface, Russell is sitting quietly and obediently in the pizza shop in the form of Alice, while Delphinium is curled up and taking a nap on Alice's lap.

In fact, Russell has another picture in her mind at this moment - sharing everything she sees with Delphinium.

In this way, he personally felt the dexterity of Delphinium's cyber incarnation. It's like watching a holographic image, watching Delphinium escape into the nothingness of pure data from time to time, skillfully jumping and running in the network, and controlling all the cameras around it.

Like a virtual hunter who only lives on the Internet.

The pure white wolf spirit ran freely, following the crazy-looking man and following the various traces left by that man.

While Alice was distracted looking at the illusion in her mind, she nodded to the waiter who brought the food and showed a gentle and polite smile.

She pointed at the delphinium with her eyes, and at the same time put her hand to her lips, making a "shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh coming on".

The young waiter immediately understood what she meant and nodded repeatedly. He quickly put his hand over his mouth, signaling that he would not wake up the delphinium.

The child was obviously still a little worried - after he returned, he immediately caught the other waiters who were laughing and talking, and whispered something. At the same time, he looked at Alice.

...What an overly enthusiastic child.

Alice was a little helpless, but did not correct the other party's misunderstanding.

Instead, he put his hands together, closed one eye, and tilted his head in a cute gesture of request.

In fact, Alice just guessed that the other party would ask questions like "Is this lady asleep?", so she simply signaled that Delphinium was asleep.

But I didn't expect the other party's reaction to be so big.

Is it because of his and Delphinium's looks?

Or is it just that he is in a good mood or is a good person?

But that doesn't matter. Since the other party has good intentions and wants to help them, Alice will certainly not try to correct the other party's misunderstanding——

With Alice's gentle character, not only would she not explain clearly when the other party misunderstood, but she would simply turn the tables and make generous requests to the other party, in order to cater to and satisfy the other party's good intentions.

We can't let good people have good intentions and then be ruined by doing bad things with good intentions - if it's not troublesome, it's better to cater to them or help them secretly to make this misunderstood "good thing" come true.

In this way, I only paid a small price for cooperating with the other party in a play. But the other party can get positive feedback and "girl's gratitude" because of his kind thoughts and deeds. In this way, the other person's mood will also improve.

This is the pure joy of "self-realization". It is so powerful that it may even reverse a person's psychology and even save a person.

Taking a step back, we can also increase the "sum of happiness" and "sum of good" within this group.

This mode of thinking is completely different from Russell...it does not care about the truth or justice, but puts itself in everyone's shoes. It is not just about protecting the safety of the other party, but also focusing on protecting the dignity and belief of the other party.

This kind of tenderness, as delicate as water, light and invisible, is exactly how Alice behaves.

At this moment, in Russell's mind, the core of "Russell's" thinking briefly separated.

Just like a multi-core computing CPU, Russell remained completely calm and objective while thinking.

For the first time, he came into contact with the "truth of the past" from such a close distance.

Those doubts that he had put aside for the time being and kept silently in his heart gradually emerged at this moment.

——First of all, the act of cursing is unnatural.

When Alice first left Happy Island, she was not yet anonymous.

As long as mercenaries are sent there, they can assassinate her. Someone who can investigate the hidden identity of a psyker and force or request them to kill with a curse... Such a person can definitely afford to hire mercenaries.

Why do we have to let a weak psyker with two levels of strength try to curse Alice?

This is of no use at all.

Sheath's identity at that time was the bishop of the Cyber ​​Church. Although Russell didn't know whether the sheath could do such a thing... but the Cyber ​​Church could bless others and heal wounds through the power of Holy Orders, so this weak curse should be able to be easily removed.

One piece of evidence is that Nan Liujing's memory never showed Alice being weak or sick. She never even got sick before the sheath left her.

So naturally, the next question is...why did the sheath leave Alice?

And why did Alice stay quietly on Sogo Island for more than 20 years?

Even if it was to hide his identity, it would be too long. In twenty years, the sheath never came back, but Alice never complained to Russell about him...

Moreover, if Sheath had betrayed Babel by that time, Alice's retreat would have become unsafe.

Why didn't Alice evacuate?

Correspondingly, the third question is - why was the second curse against Alice expanded to four people, and the success rate suddenly increased?

Russell remembered that Alice was not the only person who was cursed to death six months ago.

"Doctor", "Cuckoo", "Lycoris", "Aurora".

Within three months, four official members were cursed to death. And this is what motivated Bad Sun to try to contact Russell and drag him into the Tower of Babel for protection.

According to him and Lushouxiang, the person who leaked this information was a traitor related to high-level internal personnel.

Bad Sun's strong suspicion has betrayed the "sheath" of Babel, but there is no proof. At the time, Russell thought this might be a bias, an arbitrary judgment mixed with his personal emotions.

But now, after meeting the "monkey-faced eagle", Russell suddenly realized - are the members of the Tower of Babel really so easy to betray the deer-headed statue?

The technology developed by the monkey-faced eagle is no different from that of the deer-headed statue.

The next...and most critical question is.

Who is that "betrayer"? In other words, does this betrayer really exist?

Thinking back now, it had been twenty years since the sheath left the Tower of Babel.

Twenty years later—can he really still have access to the back door?

Has this back door really never been repaired or reset in twenty years?

And, what exactly is the back door to the Tower of Babel? Why do only senior people know about it?

Russell should be considered a senior executive now. Regardless of status, origin or ability...his status within the Tower of Babel must be at least at the level of a cadre.

So, what is the difference between Russell and others?

After thinking about the "peripheral members" he had met, Russell knew the answer.

——The only difference between the so-called "high-level members of the Tower of Babel" and ordinary members of the Tower of Babel...

The question lies in whether they have [seen the true form of the deer-headed statue with their own eyes].
