Overturned Tower

The moment he saw the blue sky, Russell felt an unprecedented sense of astonishment.

If you were an aborigine of this world, I'm afraid there wouldn't be any reaction to this.

They will only naturally think that... this kind of blue sky with some white clouds is the unique scenery of this area.

Not even the deer head statue mentions this.

She just reminded Russell that there would be widespread thunderstorms or acid rain in certain areas.

This shows that... at least during the religious war, the sky was already gray.

But in an older, non-historic past, it might have been possible for the sky to still be blue.

So, when exactly should it be?

Is it when those old elves were still young?

Was it 1,200 years ago? Or was it earlier than that?

In the era long before the birth of those immortal elves, it was a secret known only to those immortal dragons - this is also possible.

But there is only one thing that Russell can immediately clarify:

Just like before to Morgan and Xiao Liuli, declaring that "the sky should be blue" actually carries some risks.

Whether it's Delphinium, the Inferior, or Morgan, they were all born with microchips. I can't enter the dream world, so I can't see this scene.

However, for the elves and the "born uncensored people" in the lower city, this kind of language will make people think deeply.

Although they definitely don't know which sky Russell refers to in this sentence, they will also think of the unique scenery of the "primary wasteland", and then doubt whether Russell knows any mage or has entered the dream world.

This is a mistake.

"...Tsk."

Russell smacked his lips, calmed down, and started walking forward.

...Seriously speaking, the problem is not that big. At least it's not that big now.

Fortunately, Russell entered the dream world early enough that not many people knew about it. Only then could he make up for this loophole in time... It's just that Russell couldn't easily explain to outsiders how he got his code name of "Ultramarine".

But Russell immediately thought of another explanation: ultramarine is the most calming color, and it is also the most vivid blue.

In front of unfamiliar people, let’s use this rhetoric for now...

——From now on, the only people who can know that the true meaning of "ultramarine" is "sky" are those who can be completely trusted by Russell.

"...What the heck," Russell complained, "It feels like I have become a masked hero who is the Skyman."

Coincidence is just a coincidence, now Russell is really a "hero"...

"However, this environment... is too real."

Russell covered his mouth and nose with his hands and walked hard on the sand under the protection of his goggles.

The blazing sunshine above his head and the hot wind hitting his face further accelerated Russell's physical exhaustion.

The dream world blurred the characteristics of time, making it impossible for Russell to even judge how long he had walked. But at least it was far past the time when he could transform into Bluebird...and now Russell has not transformed back, nor has he been kicked out of the dream world.

At least the first level has been passed - this shows that the loophole in the chip-based "mental firewall" that Deer Head Image initially speculated is indeed useful.

The principle of this chip to intercept others from entering the dream world should be divided into two parts.

As long as the chip is installed, you will not enter the dream world... The evidence is that Russell entered the dream world for the first time today after recovering his past life memory. The difference is that he has been replaced by a "chipless" body. Moreover, the elves in the old era did not assemble chips. They only assemble chips for the new elves born after the religious war. This should be to maintain their ability to enter the dream world.

At the same time, even if you are not equipped with this chip, as long as you have been equipped with this chip for more than three years, you will not be able to enter the dream world even if you take out the chip - the evidence is those uncoded people in Xiacheng District.

The only uncertainty is what the "three years" standard is.

"Is it the physical body, the mind...or the awakened spiritual essence?"

Russell thought.

His own example at least proved one thing, that is, this seal was not based on memory.

After he awakened the sealed memory of his past life, the memory of more than twenty years in this life was still intact; after he became Blue Songbird, this memory still existed. If this chip continuously feeds him some disruptive thoughts or memory fragments, then even if Russell awakens his past life memories and changes his body, he should not be able to enter the dream world.

And for so long after entering the dream world, Russell has not changed back or been kicked out... This proves that the review mechanism of the dream world is very loose.

If Russell is still not kicked out when he enters the next area.

Russell can directly conclude that the conflicting mechanism between the dream world and the chip only takes effect "at the moment of entering the dream world".

If the blockade of the chip comes from the physical body, then the people who bypass the blockade of the chip and enter the dream world should not be the only "new mages" in the lower city area.

After all, Russell is not the only one who possesses the psychic power of transformation. This is a fairly common category... because "wanting to become something" is a common fantasy. Peter Pan's psychic powers can also be classified as transformation - because he became his "younger self". There will always be people whose transformed form is in a state without a chip...for example, this was the case with Peter Pan.

What's unique about Russell is not that he has multiple transformations, but that he himself doesn't know what his next transformation will be, and he still possesses the other party's spiritual power without transformation.

This is an absolutely impossible situation under normal circumstances.

Psionic energy itself is a "profound desire", so why don't you know what you want to become? And since the wish is to become someone else, how can one have power when there is no change?

This is completely conflicting.

However, according to the deer-headed statue...except for the crazy mages on the ground, only those "born without codes" in the Lower City can enter the dream world.

This shows that this restriction is not physical.

Then there is only one possibility.

That is, the "desire" itself to awaken spiritual energy will be contaminated by the chip.

Because Russell's spiritual energy comes from the memories and experiences of his previous life - the moment he was born into this world, he awakened spiritual energy with a red shift level of two.

——Just as Russell’s parents said back then.

I am afraid that only those who are "born to know" can circumvent this restriction.

In this case, even if Russell wears this chip for more than three years, his ability to enter the dream world will not be blocked.

If spiritual powers such as "fatal love" and "eternal hibernation" are actually flowing and inherited among the people in a form that has nothing to do with blood, origin, or spiritual relatives... then It can be understood that all spiritual energies in this world can be made into "illustrated books".

Therefore, the old elf on the airship did not have any surprise when Russell used Alice's psychic power.

In his opinion, Russell might be the psychic successor of Alice's "missing weapon".

Perhaps there are atlases among the elves that record the secrets of these psykers.

Taking the "Reconstruction Agency" as an example, a demon containment agency can also be a psychic research agency.

Then it can be explained that Bad Sun and the Deer Head Statue - and those elves have never seen Russell's psychic powers.

Because Russell's spiritual power does not exist in this world at all.

"I see……"

Russell murmured, raising his head to look at the brilliant sun.

It was a bright sun that had never been seen before on the empty island, under the gray sky.

"Even if there are thousands of different psychic powers in this world, and these psychic powers are all recorded in books, all have been analyzed by the elves and countermeasures have been sorted out..."

"——My spiritual power must be the thousand and one that they have never seen before."
