Overturned Tower

Russell said in a deep voice: "You said a lot before. The general meaning is that the demons forcibly control the body will damage the human soul...but if the demons actively control the body, it will not. So you think that the problem is not the demons, But the strength of the human soul.

"I'm pretty sure I was on the verge of losing control. I even had a memory that just disappeared... I don't remember part of the dream, but I still remember the moment I woke up.

"It was fear, bewilderment, impatience, deep bewilderment—it didn't match up to what I saw in the last scene.

"The memory in the front is so clear, but the back suddenly disappears. I can only think that this is the devil, or my body's protection mechanism, which made me forget what I shouldn't be allowed to see. Before this, if there was no The chip the minister gave me got out of control and turned into a demon as early as the end of last month.

"But you said with certainty that I would not lose control. From that sentence on, I realized something was wrong.

"You're not trying to trick me, but you really don't think it's out of control... that is, you don't think it's wrong for another personality with the same memory to control your body, it's wrong The fragility of human beings makes it impossible for the devil to push back after letting the devil escape. Therefore, you also don't think that the devil's desire to control the host's body is based on malice.

"It's okay, everyone sees it differently. Especially if you're a professional...it's perfectly normal for professionals to see things differently than the general public.

"However, you can't bring this up out of thin air. Just like what you call the 'Battal principle', what you know and what you think will definitely affect your words.

"Conversely... You must have thought of the behavior of some demon controlling the host at that time, and wanted to subconsciously refute it, so I slightly shifted from my 'first-generation demon' to 'what is the basis for the demon to control humans? Motivation' topic.

"And Bad Day and I have successfully reached cooperation with our own demons. Of course you also know about this matter, and it is impossible to bring it up again. That is to say, you subconsciously think that in my moral view, that matter is more important than' A partnership with the devil' is even more unacceptable.

"—So, I judge that this demon was made by you. Either you induced it, or it was manually cultivated."

Russell said slowly.

The bottom of his pupils was burning with an invisible off-white flame... like a glowing mirror, Hanamo's wide-eyed, unbelievable expression was imprinted on it.

Soon, the astonishment on Huachu's face shattered.

Like a lily in full bloom, a clear and pure smile bloomed on her face.

"It's remarkable ... such a far-fetched reasoning, such a remarkable insight."

Hua Chu admired, and his voice suddenly became a little deeper: "I know why Bad Sun and Lu Shouxiang value you so much. With your learning ability, maybe you can really change the world."

The girlish innocence on her face disappeared without warning.

Emerging from her face was the kind of "invisible arrogance" that belonged to the elves, a polite smile that was quite ladylike and distant.

No matter how lazy she is now, how disgusted she is to those of her own race... she also considers herself an elf.

In essence, it is a completely different existence from short-lived species.

"I just heard me say the 'Battertal principle', and it can be applied to me immediately. There is absolutely no problem with the logic of my speech, and every sentence is correct. But you actually chose the topic from me, and I can tell what I'm thinking by the timing of changing the subject...

"You remind me of someone."

Huachu's tone became calm and solemn.

"Who?"

"The chairman of your Tianen Group, Ms. Sai Lun."

Hua Chu said slowly: "When it comes to controlling people's hearts, even among the elves, you can be regarded as the best.

"I'm really curious, why didn't anyone invite you to become an elf? Is the standard for becoming an elf already so high? Then we old people really have to feel terrified."

"It's reasonable not to invite me."

The corner of Russell's mouth rose slightly: "I didn't show any talent beyond 'reasonable' performance...Of course, I didn't know there was such a thing as an elf transformation ceremony at the time. It was just to avoid the jealousy and suspicion of the superiors.

"Although my scores in each test are the first or second in my grade, I have never surpassed the big team too far. I will try my best to suppress the average score to the point where most people can pass the line. There are also some subjects that are better than others. People’s scores are lower. Things like singing and painting are my shortcomings and weaknesses. There is an insignificant weakness that can make me more grounded.

"A genius who is far beyond the crowd is hard to like. At that level, even jealousy is hard, but it becomes admiration and respect. And respect will bring alienation... The so-called admiration is distance understanding The furthest distance. And what I want to do, is let people know me."

"But what's the point?"

Hua Touch questioned: "It is meaningless to be recognized and favored by mediocre people. As soon as they graduate, they will soon forget you, and no matter how close they are with you, they will soon become estranged. No matter how much they miss you, it is impossible." ruin their lives today.

"They are not in the same world as you from the very beginning... Don't you think this is your arrogant behavior?"

Not acting.

Huachu obviously really didn't understand what Russell was going to do.

Because she is the kind of lonely genius who hates crowds and the public the most, and chooses to live alone.

"You regard 'love' as a means, but I regard it as an end. I want people to love me, not just for a moment, but for a lifetime. Of course I can also make people hate me, fear me, and respect me ...but I choose to have people love me. Because all I want is love, and that's what I want."

Russell said softly: "You think that the existence of demons is harmless, and the psykers replaced by demons just survived in a different way and did not die... I don't intend to argue with you about professional definitions.

"But what I do know is that these 'demon possessed' are killing innocent people who have nothing against them.

"It's not because of revenge, nor because of resentment... It's not because my heart is filled with emotions that cannot be relieved. It's about killing people casually.

"The devil will even think that this is a kind of relief, a kind of gift, a kind of game... and after the devil is hatched, it will definitely make a lot of innocent people around it swallowed.

"—From the very beginning, demons and humans are different existences.

"It is not impossible for human beings to die...I have killed people myself. But I think that any death should have its meaning and its consequences. Even if it is an unbearable murder, at least there should be a motive—no motive and no reason. I just can't accept the psychological pressure to kill or even eat people.

"To me, that is a different kind. It is not a human being, let alone a similar kind, but a natural disaster, a disaster...the so-called 'demon'.

"And your research on demons consumes not only the will of psykers, but also the lives of innocents... Stop it, Miss Flower Touch."

Russell said seriously: "Otherwise, even if I am a colleague, I will stop you."

"Even if my research, the ultimate beneficiaries may be short-lived species like you?"

Huazhu asked with great interest: "At most, I used hundreds or thousands of people as materials, but what I have researched can save tens of millions of people... There is even a high probability that you can go forward together. Entering eternal life, is this also a sin?"

"You and I are not gods, and we have no right to dispose of some people to bestow favors on others."

Russell shook his head: "If thousands of innocent people have to be sacrificed, others can gain eternal life. That is also a kind of eternal life full of sins—even if it is only necessary to sacrifice an innocent child to save the world, I will think so The world does not need to be saved.

"Once accepting that kind of eternal life, human beings may not accept the transaction of sacrificing tens of thousands of people in exchange for power; after that, they may sacrifice tens of thousands of people in exchange for peace, and may even set off a crisis of sacrificing millions of people." Civil war ... once the bottom line is broken, it just keeps slipping."

The boy with cat ears sighed softly.

His eyes were complicated, and his voice became a little low: "For example, I... After I killed someone, I can no longer face the harm of 'killing'. I will subconsciously think, 'That's nothing. ', the bottom line that belongs to me has been broken.

"All I can do is to let innocent people still live in their morality as a matter of course - if no one helps them, this cannot be done. It's like little Liuli, like It's Morgan.

"...it's very hard to be a good person. Really hard.

"I just wanted to help them."

Chapter 14 I will take good care of you

Hua Chu looked at Russell's eyes, first from surprise, then to irony, and then to pity...

In the end it became gentle.

"I see……"

Huazhu said softly: "You really want to be a hero, Little Russell.

"Such an innocent, innocent, stubborn ideal...you say 'it's very hard to be a good person'. But you know what, your path is harder than being a simple good person.

"Perhaps I should call you Mr. Ultramarine?"

"Whether it's Russell or Ultramarine, they all think so."

Contrary to Hua Teng who was extremely relaxed and curled up lazily in the seat, Russell sat upright, leaning forward, without the slightest smile on his face.

"Of course I know it's going to be hard. But I thought, maybe that's why... this world is where I was born."

He whispered something Hua Chu couldn't understand: "I think that's why I came here."

He just lives with it so he can feel the pain of other people.

It was an overwhelming despair that he had never felt in another world.

Confusion, pain, despair, sadness sweeping through everyone's heart...

"This is a world where there is no justice and no one is allowed to choose kindness.

"People's frenzy for 'heroes' is the last straw in the hands of the drowning.

"That's why they are so crazy. Because they also know in their hearts that the straw is meaningless...

"But straws aren't supposed to be meaningless — they don't just deserve to be holding meaningless straws."

Russell looked at Huachu seriously, and said word by word: "I am very grateful for the treatment you have given me, and I also respect your knowledge and professionalism.

"But I'm still going to mind my own business. It doesn't matter if I'm wrong...I'd rather be wrong than do nothing.

"So, what do you think?

"—Senior Flower Touch."

Huachu wanted Russell to call her sister or aunt.

The term "senior" is obviously more alienated than these titles.

Looking at the little desert cat with a serious face, Hua Chu seemed to have a strange hallucination in front of his eyes.

The figures of a man and a woman seemed to overlap him.

"—It doesn't matter whether I live or die. I'm as small as I am, and until I die, I'm just a grain of sand in the era. If I can set off a small wave, I think it should be my honor."

A calm and solemn voice rang in her ears.

"—I can save ten people, a hundred people, a thousand people...but how can I save this world? The people I save are all sinners with blood on their hands. I don't think they can Make the world a better place. But before they make the world worse, I can do something else... to pay off some debts for the lives I saved."

Immediately afterwards, there was a melancholy and gentle voice.

"……so good."

Huachu sighed with nostalgia and helplessness: "I don't care, if you want me to stop, I will stop. After all, my research is not bad...

"But having said that, I have to explain.

"I am not a devil who actively hunts and corrupts people. I just give people who desire 'possibility' a chance, and they voluntarily accept my induction."

"What the hell is that?"

Russell pressed: "The ability to turn a man into a demon..."

"That's the spell I have mastered. It's at the intersection of the Way of Change and the Way of Confusion. Counting from the beginning of the wasteland, it's about fifty to sixty steps if you don't make a detour. It's not too far away. If You can also come and see if you are interested.”

Flower Touch didn't shy away from it at all, and even directly told Russell the area where he obtained this spell.

One step means "across a region".Although the road in the dream world will change and flow, generally speaking, the direction will not change too quickly.Her words were like "go 3000 meters to the southeast"... Even if there were only cross roads in the southeast, northwest, but they could barely find a rough idea.

"This spell has no school, or it belongs to my school, but I didn't name it. The specific effect is to activate or inert the specific desires of others... roughly speaking, it can improve and suppress two to three levels The degree of redshift. But the highest redshift can only be increased to eight levels, and I can't break through the wall of Leviathan.

"Strictly speaking, it should be regarded as an auxiliary spell. It is a special purpose to release the demons in others' hearts.

"And I have another spell, which can restrict the behavior of others through contracts. This ensures that the demons I created can be recovered and researched by me after fulfilling the 'wish', so that they will not go crazy and make trouble."

Flower Touch did not mention where he obtained his second spell.

She just looked innocent and shrank back in the chair: "They want power, so I will give them power. They paid the price of 'life' and want to do something... Shouldn't I help them do it? ?

"Or, do you want me to help these strangers I don't even know? I don't have that kind of heart. They ask me for power, and I ask for their abandoned bodies after fulfilling their wishes... I actually found I think it's fair from the bottom of my heart. Of course, compared to you 'heroes', it seems like a bit of a philistine...but it's better than nothing, isn't it?"

"...but haven't you mastered the technology to communicate with demons?"

"That's right. But the materials I need are psykers who have been transformed into demons. They asked me to help, so I have to collect something, right?"

Huachu spread her hands lazily: "You don't want me to go to the recycling facility, do you. I don't want to fight against the company.

"Don't look at me like that. There are other elves besides short-lived species who are asking me like that."

"……what?"

Russell was stunned: "Did you really make other elves into experimental materials?"

"Because the demon transformed from an elf is undoubtedly a rarer material. To be precise, this is the only material I need most... You can kill him, and let me extract his soul." ...

"My research is really important—because I'm trying to decipher the technique of the elven transformation ritual."

Hua Chu said, and found several documents from his desk.

Russell noticed with sharp eyes that it should be a medical record.

"However, I really don't know who the demons you found out are. Because the demons who have been transformed in the past month... there are actually three."

When Hua Chu said this, her voice couldn't help but become softer.

But Russell believes that it must not be that she feels guilty.

It's just the innocent acting that this villain has soaked into her bones.

To say why - because he has learned.

How to write sharing eyes, writing sharing eyes.
