Overturned Tower

Chapter 67 Fairy Tales and Angels

If nothing else, Peter Pan should be the first psyker born.

In that era when there was still fear of mages and people had not completely forgotten the existence of mages, it was definitely not a good thing to obtain abilities that were clearly not part of the "power of holy order".

"But unlike a real child... he has no family. There are no parents who can control him. Peter Pan's accumulated wisdom and awakened spiritual power soon made him the king of children in the surrounding area.

"Peter Pan deliberately indulged in this kind of 'childish innocence', so that he was more innocent than a real child. Children do not understand the so-called 'morality', and he deliberately allowed himself to forget 'morality'. Just like It's like pouring drinks into ant nests and letting them "drink happily"; it's like taking off butterfly wings to make ornaments, or tearing down other people's things at will... Peter Pan made himself forget all constraints and experience as much as possible. 'What kind of things will children do'.

“However, after he lost the restraints of adulthood, he still retained the cunning wisdom of adults.

"He ordered the other children not to go home - otherwise others would attack them and refuse to accept them. All the while, he was comforting these children, beguiling them and taking their parents' place.

"Led by Peter Pan, the children did whatever they wanted... took other people's things and burned ugly buildings, all for 'fun'."

What kind of havoc can a naughty kid with the cunning wisdom of a social man, the superpower of flying into the sky and the ability to do without any scruples cause?

-That's Peter Pan.

"It was indeed a very happy life. No need to study, no restrictions, you could eat whatever you wanted, drink whatever you wanted, play games as long as you wanted, go to bed whenever you wanted...but After living like this for too long, there are still children who want to "go home and see." No matter how happy life is outside, not all children are willing to say goodbye to their parents forever.

"Even if they promise, it's just to 'go back and have a look.' But Peter Pan knows very well that once they go back, they can never come back.

"Their parents will definitely control them, and other children will also be infected by this homesickness of missing their parents... The 'legion' he formed will fall apart in an instant, leaving only a few real ones. Children who don’t want to go home.

“There’s no way he could accept this future.

"So he secretly killed the children who wanted to leave, and then threatened the other children that their parents had killed them. But among the children, there were always smarter and older children... They were conscious That's wrong. But Peter Pan is more mature and wiser than them, and he saw through their acting skills immediately.

"He killed the half-grown children one by one by causing accidents. When Peter Pan was finally captured, he had killed sixteen children. And his 'legion' at that time had expanded to more than eighty people. .

"Had he not been captured, these eighty men would have died one day. For children's minds grow, but Peter Pan does not."

When the inferior said this, he sneered: "But even if his hands are stained with blood, people are still unwilling to kill Peter Pan.

"Because the First Consensus had just been established at that time, Peter Pan became a classic case and a 'forgiven'. And he also wanted to atone for his sins... The way to atone for his sins was to guard these demons forever.

"Peter Pan's mind will never change, which means that he will not mature, be tempted by the devil, and will not be contaminated by the devil. Even his desires and will will not change - his red shift and The blue shift value is always level 6. Because of this, he is the best warden.

“He will guard these demons forever, and this is his atonement.

"The irony is... after the devil 'Peter Pan' was forgiven, the fairy tale about 'Peter Pan' was spread without anyone creating it. It was by those who were 'rescued' and were The story of the children who were kidnapped and also participated in various cruel acts was exaggerated and beautified.

"The fairy tales he wrote before have not been handed down. Ironically, the contents of the 'criticism letters' constructed by his colleagues out of jealousy are actually true. The fairy tales he wrote are closer to adult fairy tales , which contains many metaphors and beautiful words, but children really don’t like it because they can’t read it.

"The only problem is...it's impossible for a child who can't even read this kind of fairy tale to write a letter to him and still think so clearly."

As an excellent fairy tale writer, Peter Pan wrote wholeheartedly for children at the beginning.

His experience of murdering children and his end eventually became the best fairy tale he created in his life.

This can not but be said to be a kind of black humor.

...but how to say it.

Russell looked at the inferior with some complexity.

Although there are obvious differences in motivations, the bad guy is also a kind of "Peter Pan" in a sense.

It will never grow, and it will never change - it's not that you don't understand, but that you deliberately let yourself forget because of something.

In addition to "Peter Pan" himself and the devil who asked the inferior to kill Peter Pan when he was a child, the inferior's disgust for Peter Pan is probably partly due to the inferior seeing himself in the mirror.

That was his "worst possibility".

The bad instinctively hate and resist that possibility, and therefore do their best to stay away from it.

However, this disgust itself illustrates his good nature. In other words, the kind of "goodness" he tried his best to maintain.

This sense of contradiction in him is like a mystery.

It would be nice to meet the bad guy's father, Russell thought.

In that case, he would be able to have a deeper understanding of his colleague...a deeper analysis.

This kind of analysis of others through observation is also a hobby that Russell is not comfortable sharing with others.

Although such a hobby is not dark... but just knowing it makes people uncomfortable.

Russell thought so, and the float car slowly landed on the ground.

But it is obviously still some distance away from Tianen District.

The inferior patted Russell next to him on the shoulder, reminding him to look over.

"You wait here for a moment."

He said, pointing to the suitcase on the back seat.

Inside is a freezing device that stores prototype chips.

"Keep an eye on the chip, don't lose it..."

"Why are you going?"

Russell asked.

The bad guy put his hands in his pockets, raised his chin and pointed at the convenience store next to him: "Buy cigarettes."

...It’s really an overly realistic reason.

However, he just wanted to smoke. Russell thought it was because he was willing to restrain this habit for himself, but he didn't expect it was because he had finished smoking...

Russell shouted helplessly: "Stop smoking!"

The inferior ignored Russell and walked towards the convenience store without looking back.

It’s true that only Delphinium’s rebuke is effective…

Russell shook his head.

"...Speaking of which, next door to this convenience store is the 'Third Hand'."

This is a chain store that specializes in selling prosthetics, recycling second-hand prosthetics, and providing prosthetic modification services.

Russell hasn't visited this store yet, and he kind of wants to.

Although things in places like this are much more expensive than online shopping, and many of them are designed to deceive people who don't know the industry, you can often see some second-hand prosthetics that have been modified by magic.

Even if you don't buy it but just look at it, the idea of ​​​​renovation is an inspiration to Russell.

- But he still wasn't going to get out of the car.

Because obviously guarding the chip is the business.

Russell thought so and planned to add nearby addresses to his favorites.

But at this moment.

Under Russell's surprised gaze, a white-haired girl who looked to be only 1.5 meters tall walked out carrying two large bags of heavy parts.

She looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a childish and delicate appearance. It has red pupils like pigeon blood, short snow-white hair that looks like feathers due to a moderate degree of psychic transformation, and the ear feathers derived from the ears are integrated.

The girl has slender limbs and fair skin. There was obviously a large area of ​​skin exposed, but Russell couldn't see any traces of the prosthetic transformation——

But what really caught Russell's eyes was the halo above her head.

A beige halo of bright light was suspended above her head, and her whole body exuded a soft shimmer.

It was as if there was extra background light on her body, to the extent that she could be spotted at a glance even if she was mixed in among the crowd.

Although it was only the first time he saw it, Russell could immediately tell that it was the brilliance of the power of Holy Order.

...That's an angel?
