Overturned Tower

"look familiar?"

The barber tilted his head and asked in an interesting tone: "What, have you heard of me?"

"Oh, that's not the case. I was just thinking..."

Tovatus crossed his arms and looked up at the barber, thinking for a while: "Is your spiritual relative a bluebird?"

“It’s okay to say it’s a blue songbird, it’s okay to say it’s a little blue-headed magpie.”

The barber smiled and released his right hand from Paradise Bird's shoulder.

He took two steps forward and walked in parallel with Tovatus: "I'm a mixed race."

"That's it."

Tovatus nodded.

The two walked inside in silence.

Completely different from the calm demeanor on the "barber's" face.

Russell's heartbeat began to accelerate violently... He could even hear his own heartbeat directly, and he could feel the vibrations in the blood vessels in his neck.

He never expected that...the leader of the Veil of Ignorance would be the young elf kidnapped by the Veil of Ignorance at the Beehive Nightclub.

What Tovatus said before came to Russell's mind:

"——This matter ends here. You don't need to track down the person who kidnapped me here."

"——Do you want to follow me? I will no longer work to death for the mediocre Tian'en Group, but I can touch the truth and come into contact with more noble things."

At that time, Russell thought that Tovatus was trying to lure him into Taoyuan Trading Company.

He thought to himself, they were both the Big Seven, so what was the difference between working at Taoyuan Trading Company and working at Tianen Group?

One monopolizes the real estate and hotel industries, tourism and outdoor sports industries, while the other monopolizes entertainment, media, culture...

He didn't think it would make any difference. It's better to work at Tianen Group, at least you can still see cute and youthful girls while working in the park every day.

…Looking back now, it’s a good thing I wasn’t fooled at the time. Otherwise, he would have been tricked into the veil of ignorance by now, half abducted and half robbed.

Many things suddenly became reasonable.

No wonder that as a director, Tovatus was kidnapped so easily. Moreover, Taoyuan Trading Company did not send anyone to rescue him at all, and they did not even find out that he had been kidnapped - until the end, this matter turned into a minor matter. , and even now no one mentions it.

Because Tovatus was not kidnapped at all, but he kidnapped himself!

So it was clear that the previous "Iron Mask" could talk to the bad, but when Russell entered the inside of the Iron Mask, he found that it was just a message. My avatar is not inside at all.

Thinking about it now, since that person has done such a thing, there is no reason why he would be afraid of Russell's intrusion technology and flee in a hurry.

The answer is obvious, he has never entered the mask.

Therefore, it is normal for Delphinium to be unable to detect traces or intercept his "jumping out".

From the beginning, there was no one who "entered the mask remotely through the Internet"!

Although everyone present at the time thought that the real kidnapper was communicating with the villain from a distance through the listening and microphone functions of the Iron Mask. But in fact, the person who really spoke was "Tovatus" himself under the mask, and the iron mask only served as a voice changer!

This is the inertial thinking formed by the two "games" that the inferior has participated in before.

After the game of "Caged Bird," Veil of Ignorance really didn't play the next game with the bad guys.

This shows that in the original plan of the Discordant, the third game "Caged Bird" was originally supposed to be the last game.

But for this purpose, he even risked being killed by the inferior.

If Russell hadn't been involved, Tovatus would have either watched the bad guy jump out of the window with the delphinium that turned into a vegetative state, and be blown up to death in the building; or he would have been killed by the bad guy, protecting the delphinium from turning into a vegetative state. .

In the end, the bad guy can only stand up and bear all the blame.

The reason why the Veil of Ignorance will not directly attack the inferior has also been found...

The fact that Tovatus is the leader of the Veil of Ignorance is probably not a secret among the elves.

Because of Kamalse's "fate", the inferior must die because of his fate.

In other words, the inferior ones cannot be killed by them, but should commit suicide... If the Veil of Ignorance really kills the inferior ones, then I am afraid that Kamaltha will fall out with Tovatus. Because this means the end of his destiny... In this case, Camarse will either find another "opposing marriage" or end his own life to reset this damn destiny.

So what Veil of Ignorance is doing is trying to find a way to drive the bad guy crazy without killing him.

This immature child, who looked to be only seven or eight years old, harbored no hidden malice and had the moral foundation to separate the inferior step by step.

...but what exactly is he planning?

This obviously couldn't be Kamalser's mission.

These elves who also have "destiny" are of the same level, not to mention they are not in the same company at all.

In other words, the "discordant" is deliberately targeting the inferior based solely on his own desires and love.

Plus the "intelligence source" on Camarse's side.

The Veil of Ignorance sent meeting invitations to various organizations, and the next day... no, that night to be precise!

That night, the bad guy received this information from Kamalse!

Uncoded people don’t have chips and can’t even send emails. If you don't rely on radio, you can only rely on physical means of sending messages.

But the elves are different. The elves are also equipped with chips.

Just like when Russell added that old elf as a friend... without a chip, even if you plug in a data cable, you won't be able to see your business card at all.

And the way Kamalse easily repaired the broken plates and glass in Delphinium's office must be some kind of extremely powerful spell.

The elves have not given up on magic.

Instead, they continue to move forward in the dream world.

But Camarse's ability to inform the bad guy of the news means that he must also have a chip.

……etc.

Only then did Russell realize something.

The elves should also be equipped with chips... But now Russell remembered that at least half of the elves were mages from the old era!

Three years after installing the psychic protection chip, ordinary people will lose the means to connect to the dream world.

But in that case, how do the elves cast spells?

Russell remembered...the old elf called his invention a "psychic protection chip." As for the name of this chip, ordinary people don't know it at all... They default to having a chip when they are born, and they don't even ask "What is the name of the chip?"

"Psychic Protection". What exactly are you guarding against?

They were originally mages who gained power in the dream world. Why did they have to have the same type of chips implanted with ordinary people?

Is it really as "people-friendly", "fair" and "leading by example" as they advertise?

Absolutely not.

Russell would not believe even a word of this propaganda.

The elves must be able to get some kind of benefit from this chip... otherwise there is no need to shackle themselves, especially shackles to "half of their kind".

Because this chip is not a shackle—it is a lifebuoy in the dream world! The effect of psychic protection and the effect of preventing the birth of a mage are actually the same effect!

Thinking of this, Russell felt his spine tense up.

If Tovatus hadn't been by his side, Russell would have been so excited that he wanted to punch the empty space!

He is about to touch the truth, a big secret that even the deer head statue is not aware of!

For the elves, the greatest value of this chip must not be "isolating from the dream world", but "isolating from the shadows"!

This is the conclusion reached by Russell's reverse deduction.

Because the lifespan of elves is too long, if they explore the dream world for a long time, they will be injured sooner or later. Will be constantly corroded by shadows.

This is "life span" in another sense - the life span of the soul.

When there are more impurities mixed into their memories than the original ones, it’s hard to say who will be the genuine ones.

But what if people who have opened the door to the dream world... can still enter the dream world even if they have a chip?

Then this "psychic protection chip" can prevent the "shadows" of the dream world from invading your personality!

That's why the elves spent a lot of effort to develop this technology.

Are they really afraid of the mad mage?

I'm afraid not.

They simply don't want people to become "uncorrupted" mages... While putting on protection for themselves and grabbing the power of the dream world unscrupulously, they close all the doors through which ordinary people can easily obtain extraordinary power!

The mind protection chip is like a key that can lock the door.

It's just that some people lock the door after entering the big house and explore the house safely; some people lock the door when they are outside, and then they are not allowed to enter.

The "Barber" turned slightly sideways and took a deep look at Tovatus who was walking in front.

Thanks to him for seeing "Tovatus" in the Lower City, and thanks to him meeting "Amyrus" on the airship.

The two inadvertent words from the young and old elves made Russell keenly guess the fear hidden in the hearts of the elves.

This is a secret that if used reasonably and appropriately... can easily subvert the entire era and the entire world!
