Overturned Tower

Vol 2 Chapter 44: Blessings on a bad day

Russell was silent.

Following the words of the container of God, the memories that he had recalled at Huachu before, but which he deliberately forgot again, suddenly surged like a rising tide.

The "other self" directly told the hidden truth to his face... Russell could no longer deceive himself.

He didn't expect that after he made the God's Container, the first thing it did was to hurt himself...

—Although it will not bite itself, it will tell the truth to hurt itself.

The words of the container of God broke down the hypocritical paper defense wall in Russell's heart...

That was the part that Russell had thought of long ago, but deliberately ignored and pretended not to exist. It was the part of himself that he faced deliberately not honestly.

Although Russell has some special features, some talents that are slightly beyond ordinary people.

But when I was a teenager, the specificity brought by those things was just "somewhat special".

Through contact, dialogue, learning from the other party, carefully researching information, private practice, etc., gradually copy the particularity of others, become the superior of the other party, and gradually replace the other party's communication relationship and interpersonal resources...

Although it sounds outrageous, this is indeed the extent that ordinary people can do.

It was a special and humble way of living that was not very likable and would be feared by others... like a sandalwood tree.

good romance novels

When it really started to become outrageous, it was probably after I came into contact with the suspicious boss who looked like Naia's human body, and Russell felt great fear just by looking at it.

…but the parasitic instinct is irrepressible.

Although he was fearful and apprehensive in his heart, the demonic nature made him uncontrollably touch the other party.

Since then.

At some point, the "parasitic" talent turned into "distortion".

I only need a few words to understand the other party, and I can understand the other party's thinking tendency without secretly investigating... I can even grasp the way of thinking of strangers I meet for the first time, and I can quickly grasp the other party's uniqueness without special study The advantages.

From that time on, I may not be a pure human anymore.

The fear of being alone, the fear of being special and no longer mortal, gave birth to the psionic power of the "vessel of god".

The "God Seed" he copied was imprisoned and sealed in a container named "Russell".

That's why the container of God said that it is "another self".

"...It turns out that I failed to get the approval of the devil because of this reason."

Russell sighed.

Because he has never been his true, complete self.

— but he didn't want to be that himself either.

Long before he came to this world, he had already awakened the psionic energy called "God's Vessel".

That being the case, it is naturally impossible for a demon born based on the "complete Russell" to obey him in this state.

It was just because of the oppression of that world, or his self-deceiving self-sealing, or the hands and feet of the dog boss, that he didn't realize it. His psychic strength must be more than two levels of blue shift... That's why he can become a "magic mirror" that reflects anyone.

Is this why I was sent to this world...

Once this cognitive filter was broken, Russell immediately realized that there seemed to be few normal people in that company. In other words, the "ordinary people" that each of them talks about is always calculated based on the average ability of "company employees".

For example, the roommate and senior who are always pulling himself firmly and not letting him leave the company... He always thinks that he only has the wisdom of ordinary people.

— Grass, he is a dog.

With Annan's ridiculously clever mind, he must have thought everything through.

He pulled himself, and refused to let him go... It wouldn't be because he would find a trustworthy "friend" by his side if he started running a group in reality.

That really disappoints you. In the end, I was the only one who passed through...

"But, why am I..."

Obviously my ability is the worst. Precisely because I can't do it with my own strength, I live a life dependent on others and imitate others.

Imitation is a talent that belongs only to the weak.

If you really want to save the world or something...anyone is better than me.

Russell sighed slightly, feeling a strong, indescribable loneliness.

"Looks like you've figured it all out."

The container of God looked at the loneliness that appeared on Russell's face, and his expression became gentle: "Face your loneliness, it is the source of your strength."

That tenderness could even be called pity.

Russell even had an auditory hallucination in his mind that "hell is ahead".

Russell, who had the appearance of a godfather, looked at the container of God that looked like Russell, and asked quietly: "Do you really want me to become like this, my assistant?"

"—Is my position actually an assistant?"

The face of God's Container revealed a look of joy: "Thank you so much, my God. I thought I was just a tool to expose the truth, and I would turn into a bubble like a mermaid after telling the truth." .”

"... You can talk."

"Thank you."

"I don't remember having such sharp teeth."

"I have sharp teeth and claws!"

The container of God smiled and responded: "As for the 'must'... As another you, I can't help you deceive yourself, can I? I woke up when you were most thirsty for power. This is my duty, right?

"The happy novice tutorial phase is over, my creator. You should also be able to realize that the first big event for opening the server is coming, and the boring novice farming period should be over... Wake up early Is it better?"

"That's true."

"Then don't thank me?"

"That's really thanks to myself."

"...Did I get in your way here?"

Bad Day looked at Russell and his demon with a displeased expression, each saying a riddle that only they knew the meaning of: "Why don't you two eat this dinner, and I'll leave first?"

"No, he doesn't need to eat."

Russell said indifferently: "If you want to leave, I will eat two boxes."

The container of God trembled: "I can eat it! I want to eat it!"

Russell refused without hesitation: "No, you can't. It's time for you to leave... Hurry up and find Old Man Mi, and deal with God's misfortune. It just so happens that it's safer for you to go..."

The "Old Man" in Russell's mouth is Amyrus.

Although Bad Day can't understand most of them, he believes that the container of God will definitely understand.

Russell paused, and added: "Remember to pretend a bit. The old man is a decent thousand-year-old fox, don't make up your own mind...Think about what you would do if it was me before.

"If you want to eat something, I will treat you after all these troublesome things are resolved... Well, I will treat you as a detective."

"Okay, okay... You squeeze yourself, you really have a demeanor that is about to die suddenly..."

The container of God walked towards the door with a displeased expression in the appearance of "Russell", opened the door and left his bedroom.

Russell closed his eyes and carefully felt his spirit.

As the divine container suddenly reached a place extremely far away from its own body through the power of the deer head, the energy consumption of maintaining the "invisible device" suddenly increased several times... It was like doing homework slowly on weekends, suddenly It became a final exam.

If it was said that he could maintain it for 24 hours without any pressure, then with his current redshift strength, if he wanted to ensure his combat effectiveness, he could only maintain it for three or four hours. If there is a fierce battle on either side, the time may be further shortened... But if you can hang up the phone completely, concentrate on maintaining the indestructible device, and sleep directly after recovery, it can last for about six hours.

OK, acceptable.

Russell reached out and wiped his face, turning into Alice's appearance.

She looked at Bad Ri with a smile, and stretched out her hand: "Pass me the needle and medicine bottle, Xiaojing~"

"I don't know why, but suddenly I don't feel like it at all..."

Bad Day complained.

When he heard "Xiao Jing" from Russell's transformed "Alice" before, he seemed to feel his brain trembling - he knew it was Russell, but he still couldn't get rid of the impact.

But listening to this sentence now, I can clearly realize that "this is not Alice".

If you want to compare it, it's like a 3D animation character and a cosplayer who looks very similar. Although they look very similar, there is an essential difference.

...Is this the self-sealing that God's Vessel just said?

Bad day murmured in his heart.

He didn't really laugh off what he heard~www.readwn.com~Although he couldn't understand it at all, he remembered every word the container of God said in his heart.

Not out of vigilance, suspicion, prudence...

——but because of guilt and love, the subconscious concern arises.

The guilt of taking away Russell's parental love, as well as the love of family affection as Russell's elder.

"Lonely...?"

Bad Ri subconsciously glanced at the delphinium who was feverish and comatose on the bed, and was a little surprised for a while.

But he didn't say anything in the end.

Russell, who can be friends with anyone...would be afraid of being alone?

Or is it because of the fear of being alone that he distorts his own nature with psychic power to become friends with others?

So what was the real Russell like?

Can Delphinium accept the real him?

"Love" and "loneliness"...?

It's really complementary. No wonder they are attracted to each other...
