Overturned Tower

Russell immediately notified Delphinium.

Although the current situation is very critical... Russell still trusts Delphinium unconditionally.

He believes that the other party should be able to find a way to break the deadlock without causing greater chaos.

After all, she is not a weak person who needs to be protected by herself, but a reliable boss and a smart collaborator.

——In fact, Tiansong's threat to Russell itself doesn't make much sense.

As long as he approaches any door, Russell can immediately get into the Tower of Babel with the Paradise Bird in his arms.

If it is the next best thing, Russell can also have an extra life as long as he switches to any avatar.

If it can only explode once, Tiansong cannot kill Russell.

But now he looks obviously not calm enough...

What Russell was most worried about was the safety of Paradise Bird, and secondly whether Tiansong would hurt those innocent people.

If the bomb on Tiansong's body was detonated, according to what he said, it could destroy a street... The number of casualties would probably reach at least three digits, and most likely even four digits.

If Tiansong took the initiative to attack the surrounding area, this number might be further increased.

Since the death of 1,800 people and the loss of emotion and memory of 4,000 people in the "Pale Incident", there has never been a disaster of this size on Sky Island again.

And now, it's here.

There is no doubt that even if all this is done by Tiansong, it has nothing to do with Qunqing.

But as long as Qun Qing survives this, he will inevitably bear a heavy burden of public opinion. That's how public opinion is... not reasoning, just emotions.

However, what Russell cares about is not whether he will be attacked by public opinion or not.

It's the hundreds or thousands of lives that are alive.

Just like he was on the airship a few months ago...

At that time, he was penniless and lonely. The only psionic power he has mastered has also entered the cooldown.

He has never fought, let alone killed. But at that time, he had to face a madman with a deadly weapon and rich experience in killing...

But he is different now.

He is the deputy director of the executive department of Tianen Group, the deputy director of Shenzhi Heavy Industry's branch in Happy Island, the uncrowned monarch of the uncoded, the godfather revered by the people in the lower city, and the idol worshiped by the people in the upper city...

In just a few months, he has become a real big shot. Any one of his identities is a height that ordinary people can't reach in a lifetime.

Is he like this still the same person as the penniless boy back then?

Will he become timid when faced with the threat of death?

Can he still fight at all costs for the safety of others?

In fact, before today, Russell himself was not sure the answer to this question.

Because his current life has indeed become more comfortable... Every day, he is nestled in the office with the air conditioner blowing on, drinking snacks and playing games, and he is about to be turned into a pet cat.

But now, under Tiansong's persecution, Russell was finally able to make sure that he was still the same person at that time.

...I haven't fallen yet.

This is great.

As he began to think about the solution, he planned to hear what Tiansong planned to say to himself.

After all, Russell had already readily agreed to chat with Tiansong, and there was absolutely no need for Tiansong to threaten Russell again.

This is simply superfluous... Unless what he wants is not just talking to Russell.

What surprised Russell a little was that Tiansong didn't drag them to a chaotic and crowded place like a coffee shop.

Instead, he took them to the rooftop together.

Looking up, I can't see anyone around, and the field of vision is empty enough. The sunlight in the afternoon is not so harsh, and it will not be too dazzling to see the surroundings.

This move away from the crowd also convinced Russell that the bomb on Tiansong's body did indeed have the power to blow up an entire street.

"What do you want to say?"

Russell stared deeply at Tiansong, and said flatly: "Now there is no one around, so you can say whatever you want."

"The deputy director of Qunqing really has a great posture, and he is not chaotic in the face of danger."

But Tiansong just said something strangely.

Russell didn't react yet, but Paradise Bird suddenly became angry.

She took a step forward and wanted to say something to Tiansong, but Russell immediately grabbed her arm and gently pulled her behind her.

"Tsk tsk."

Tiansong sneered: "Sure enough, it's exactly the same as I guessed. The deputy director of Qunqing who always smiles in interviews and is kind to others, is indeed a serious and scheming person in real life. It seems that it is just a created character... Really good at pretending.

"...same as that man."

"You mean the emperor?"

"It seems that our heroes see the same thing."

Tiansong sneered: "If a person continues to do some good things that are of no use, people think he is really a good person. They don't know that he only reveals his true self behind his back... The public is really stupid."

"You mean, you're smart?"

"Of course I'm not smart enough. If I were smart, I wouldn't fall into the conspiracy arranged by you **** and couldn't get out..."

With cold eyes, Tiansong took out a handful of candy-like long objects from his arms.

Those are like the kind of firecrackers that Russell used to play during the Chinese New Year when he was a child in his previous life. The kind that explodes when thrown out after rubbing.

With its size of a toffee, it is difficult to hurt people unless it is held in the hand.

Russell recognized the prosthetic in his left arm.

It was an engineering prosthetic body assembled by electric welders, and they usually carried an auxiliary tank on their backs. A high-temperature arc that can be manipulated at will can then be initiated with just a finger.

"I knew he was not a good person back then."

Tiansong muttered in a low voice, squatting in front of the two of them.

He carefully divided those candy-like firecrackers into piles. The number of firecrackers in each pile is different, but their heights are exactly the same.

It's like comparing them with invisible threads, binding them into something like a barcode.

"Why did he sponsor me back then?"

Speaking of this, Tiansong said viciously: "Because I saved his daughter's life!

"Bingshui was kidnapped when she was a child, and I was the one who rescued her... At that time, I was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and I killed two kidnappers with guns with just a fruit knife!

"—Accordingly, I could have become a hero long ago! It was the emperor who took my achievements... He gave me the money to go to school and let me go to school. I was very grateful to him at the time.

"But he asked me to work in the company he designated after graduation, and also asked me to give half of my income for the first five years to him!"

"...It's not too much."

Russell raised his eyebrows: "You didn't even have the opportunity to go to school. If you take the normal academic loan, it will be good if you can pay it back in 20 years. Many people don't pay back their own years until their children go to college. Loans for college.

"The emperor didn't even ask for a specific number from you, only half of it. Give more if you earn more, and less if you earn less. This can be regarded as repaying his kindness... Isn't that good? Or, you Do you want to carry a debt of favor for a lifetime?"

"—who does he think he is? I don't need to thank him!"

Tiansong just laughed loudly, and asked back: "If he hadn't robbed me of my achievements, I would have become a hero long ago! Now I finally know how much a hero can earn in a year... Don't tell me you don't Know?

"The so-called 'subsidy' he gave me is not as good as an advertisement he accepted! It's not that I owe him a favor at all, it's that he owes me!

"If I had become a 'hero' back then, I wouldn't need a single subsidy from him! I have nothing to be grateful to him..."

He repeated that passage over and over, as if possessed by a demon.

Russell just looked at him coldly.

"So, after you failed to confess to Miss Bingshui, you turned to assassinate her?"

"I'm not assassinating."

Tiansong sneered: "I was saving her... How do you think I killed people?"

At this moment, he suddenly looked in a distant direction.

The next moment, a red dot landed on him after a long time.

Before that, Tiansong pointed to one of the small piles of firecrackers without hesitation.

The electric arc flashed away, and three firecrackers suddenly turned into powder. Not a single sound came out.

But the red spots on his body also disappeared immediately.

"see it?"

Tiansong turned back plainly and looked at Russell: "I usually kill people like this.

"The human body is too fragile. It's just an explosion that can injure the hand and bleed. If it happens inside the body...whether it is the heart, lungs, or brain, or the liver, or the spine, it can make a fully armed prosthetic soldier Instant death.

"Do you understand? I don't need any weapons, just an ordinary firecracker... With a wave of my hand, I can decide the life or death of anyone within a few kilometers.

"The me standing here is undoubtedly a god.

"In other words, Mr. Deputy Director... the bomb on my body is just for revenge after death just in case. The real threat is not it... but me.

"And it's not just you~www.readwn.com~ who was kidnapped, but everyone within these few kilometers. You are not only a hostage, but also the one who paid the ransom."

"What do you want me to do?"

Russell asked softly.

His pupils slowly narrowed into vertical pupils, giving off an increasingly dangerous feeling.

But Tiansong looked at him, but just grinned.

"It's very simple," Tiansong replied, "I want you to kill Director Tokifat."
