Overturned Tower

Ringo inexplicably felt a chill down his spine.

It was as if the air conditioner in the room had been turned on for a long time, but was turned down by two degrees unconsciously.

When she realized it, a severe chill had already engulfed her body and mind, making Lingo shiver uncontrollably.

It's not that the disguise has been revealed... but it's like suddenly realizing the truth that cannot be known.

It's like a group of people laughing and playing in a hotel with rumors of being haunted, but suddenly realize that there is one more person among them without any abnormalities, and they can't even remember who the extra person is.

Her expression froze a little.

Lin Po noticed that although Mr. Qunqing had made a murder notice, there was no ferocious and wild smile on his face, nor was there any expression of nervousness or fear.

His expression was—

sad.

It was helpless, but flat and firm sadness.

Reminds Ringo of his experience in student days... the helplessness of writing a thesis that was rejected by the tutor and completely overturned and rewritten.

Ringo suddenly reacted.

In terms of Mr. Qunqing's gentle personality, he must have carefully investigated and studied, and made meticulous preparations for the redemption of these synthetic humans, but in the end he found that it was completely useless.

Mr. Qunqing's eyes did not look at the man who was kneeling on the ground, his breathing was blocked and he died slowly.

Instead, he looked behind the man, as if he was listening carefully and feeling something.

But Ringo looked in that direction, but couldn't see anything at all.

Looking out from this narrow alley, you can only see those cheap neon lights.

—He must be looking at this sinful and cold city.

Through these people, you can see the city. Then, using it as a mirror, I saw my excessive tenderness turned into a sharp blade and hurt myself...

Lin Po stared blankly at Qunqing, thinking in his heart.

On the other side, in a world that Ringo can't see.

The God's Vessel, which would only appear in Russell's field of vision, was standing behind the man, looking at Russell.

The right leg of the vessel of God turned into a copper pillar and was nailed to the ground, while strong ropes appeared from the man's hands and waist, and were bound to the copper pillar behind him.

His right hand clasped the man's face. On top of the blood-soaked handkerchief, another thin mask was fastened on it, squeezing all the blood back.

Although the man was struggling hard, his chin was held down by the left hand of the God Vessel. No matter how much he struggled, he couldn't move an inch.

"Water torture... tsk tsk tsk..."

The container of God with the appearance of a barber said with a smile: "Why, you got angry when you were sprayed with **** saliva?

"It's too easy to irritate you. I just need to raise a group of alpacas, and I can achieve unlimited refills of anger. Unlimited anger x"

"What do you think I decided to kill them for?"

Russell suddenly spoke.

Hearing the words, God's Vessel frowned: "They?

"Is it so murderous, my... master?"

On the other side, Ringo also heard Russell's words.

When she heard this, she hesitated for a moment, and answered tentatively: "Because you are disappointed in them?

"Feeling betrayed of their good intentions... Or rather, realizing they don't deserve to be saved?"

"neither."

Russell shook his head and said flatly.

He looked back at Ringo and smiled softly.

Although that expression was the same as when he was determined to kill someone, Ringo didn't feel scared because of it, but felt a sense of peace of mind.

Russell touched Ringo's small head, and then touched her ears that had stood up due to the battle.

"Do you know how I became a hero, Ringo?"

"...I remember, it seems to have saved a lot of people..."

"That's the commonality of all heroes. But if you think about it carefully, you can realize another commonality."

Russell said softly: "That is murder.

"I became a hero because of killing people. All the 'heroes' are also favored by the board of directors because of killing people.

"If you are not good at killing, no matter how many people you save, even if you are admired by people, you will not become a 'hero' who is endorsed by the director and granted permission to kill.

"In the final analysis, a hero is a tool for killing people. It is like a well-cast knife and a loaded bullet.

"But it's not the sharp blade, nor the trigger itself that kills. It's the will to pull the trigger, the arm that swings the blade.

"It's the 'eyes' and the 'brain'. In other words, it's the director behind the 'hero'."

When Russell was halfway through speaking, he took his eyes away from Ringo and looked at the container of God.

"Before that, I naively thought...Director Amirus really came to entrust me to solve the problem of the synthetic rebellion."

"Isn't it?"

The container of God raised his eyebrows.

And Lingo was also a little confused: "But, the task I received here is indeed..."

"-it's not true."

Russell replied flatly: "Thinking about 'don't hurt their lives, subdue them all', 'we should establish a good relationship with them, and improve the image of the people from the outer islands in the minds of the residents of Tongshen Island', 'beautiful and proper solution The synthetic human crisis, let Tongshen Island return to order and calm', and then shrink back and forth...

"If you really do this, it must be completely reduced to a useful tool in the future."

"...What the **** are you trying to say?"

The more Lingo listened, the more confused he became, but he had a bad premonition in his heart.

Russell just smiled gently: "Instead, I want to thank him, because he expressed his views sincerely. There is no pretense, no politeness, no hypocritical kindness.

"It made me realize one thing clearly—

"Tongshen Island's xenophobia, Shenzhi Heavy Industry's fear of synthetic humans... what does it matter to me?

"I'm just a worker. My real task is to disintegrate the deterrent power held by the synths, that's all. I think about the 'perfect solution', consider the 'people's vision', and scruple 'Civilian acceptance', thinking about quietly completing investigations, quelling rebellions, solving crises...but what does that have to do with me?

"From the very beginning, they didn't regard me as a foreign company dog ​​as their own. Even if I changed their views, I changed the views and opinions of the entire Tongshen Island people on other Sky Island people, and even made them treat 'others'. The company dogs of the sky island have sympathy and recognition, and it will only be the other seven giants of the sky island who will benefit from it.

"—It's better to say that I'm Shenzhi Heavy Industry's 'person'."

Russell's thinking is clear and his eyes are bright: "My highest-level position comes from the branch of Shenzhi Heavy Industry. As a person at the deputy director level, I should enjoy preferential treatment in Tongshen Island. Why do I have to hide my name? Lurking into civilian areas for investigation?

"The board of directors of Shenzhi Heavy Industry really needs me. Even if I am not a local 'hero', I can still enjoy the resources of a hero.

"...Because the 'hero' is just the director's dog, and the board needs my help now. If I were a real low-level person, after using me, maybe I would fight back because of embarrassment. But I am a mental heavy worker Part of it...this can even be counted as my meritorious service, as my 'advance power'."

Russell sighed softly, and looked at the man who was gradually losing consciousness after being waterboarded.

He stretched out his hand, and slowly moved along the other side's left temple to the right temple through the blood-soaked handkerchief.

The spiritual energy extended into an invisible sharp blade, which cut through the man's brain and gave him a great pleasure.

"I really want to thank them all for making me realize something important:

"Here, I'm not even some low-end 'corporate dog.' Or..."

Russell smiled and said: "Now I am the company itself.

"—Kill them, Ringo. There is nothing to be afraid of.

"It's better to say that if we show our timidity, things will become more troublesome."

No need to show mercy, let alone be afraid of public opinion—

These people were indeed pushed out to test themselves. And they do have ties to those rebellious synths...

—But Russell preconceived that, whichever force they belong to, they are of course the pawns of that force.

However, this is not the case.

Synths are a hassle. But this is not because Shenzhi Heavy Industry cannot deal with them, is afraid of their existence, or cannot beat them.

It's because Shenzhi Heavy Industry can't get real benefits no matter how they deal with them. At the same time, no matter who handles it, it may leave different troubles... Because of this, it is not easy for them to appoint someone to take charge of this matter.

In that case, once the incident occurs, someone will always take the blame; and depending on the intensity of the incident, it may even be traced all the way back from the bottom leadership.

All those who intervene may not be able to escape in the end.

But if it was Russell who came to destroy their weapons, the situation would be different.

Once the opponent loses the ability to resist, they can sit down and start kicking the ball against the opponent in an orderly manner.

Divide, soften, press first and then pull... At that time, it is a simple political game. It belongs to the home court of the high-level executives of Shenzhi Heavy Industry.

It is impossible for those naive synthetics who have never been in contact with society to play them.

But if they hold the "Fire Opal" in their hands, it is possible to directly fire a deterrent shot when they are in a hurry-because normal people have scruples, but synthetic humans do not.

They just wanted to fight for their human rights on Tongshen Island, and it would be best if they could get some preferential treatment. But that's all.

This is not a condition that cannot be compromised, it is completely negotiable. After all, these synthetic humans are also a "possibility", and their performance as social animals is not bad.

—However, this cannot be the condition they negotiated with the mecha soldiers in hand.

This precedent will give the illusion to later generations: as long as I hold a machine soldier in my hand, I can negotiate terms with the board of directors of the "giants".

It's like getting a gun in a horror game, and the horror atmosphere fades away.

Therefore, although Shenzhi Heavy Industry can easily destroy the "Fire Opal" in the hands of synthetics, it can also casually agree to the simple conditions proposed by these synthetics. But they can't do it - because that would make the person who ordered it accountable.

Compared with solving the synthetic rebellion, the senior executives of Shenzhi Heavy Industry considered more about how to evade their own responsibilities.

And this is what Russell means.

He wasn't really going to disarm them "with his own hands". Instead, let Russell be the villain as the leader and decision maker of this plan.

Afterwards, if you want to pursue accountability, it will stop at Russell's level.

— After all, he is from the Outer Islands, so it is not surprising that he did anything. And Russell will not live on Tongshen Island, and the people of Tongshen Island will not travel to Happy Island, and the networks of each sky island are completely independent and closed. Even if he takes a lot of blame on Tongshen Island, it will not affect his work and life on Happy Island at all.

That's why Russell looked at them with compassion and pity.

Although Russell's real strength today is comparable to the inferiors in his heyday, that was when he lifted the restrictions on the use of abilities and used the abilities of different masks to fight at the same time. And when he only appeared as "Ultramarine", all he could use was his prosthetic hand, psychic armament, and "device of inexistence", and at most he could use the power of the Holy Order to heal himself.

And the "Fire Opal" mecha soldiers are almost like fortresses in the sky.

Not only can it float in the air for a long time, it can pour a lot of firepower in an instant, and it is extremely strong while remaining invisible.

It's fine if you let the inferior ones come. He can indeed constrain sound into cannonballs and easily destroy them; his ability can also detect the existence of missiles and detonate them immediately.

— But "Qunqing", he is only good at fighting with weapons on the bright side?

Is it to let him slash Gundam?

Russell didn't realize this problem before, because he really has the ability to solve it properly... For him, this problem is just a little troublesome, but it can't be called difficult.

This is like starting a long ten-lipo sword **** action in Xinshou Village, because you have brushed too much, and when it is time to lose the battle, you actually start a fierce and anxious battle with the boss, and it seems that you can really beat it Same…

In that case, of course Russell would not realize that this is a plot kill that must fail.

He only frowned, thinking that the difficulty of this battle was really high, and then calmly operated to prepare to kill the boss by force.

It's a good thing he didn't do this, otherwise he might get stuck...

Looking back now, Russell can see his mistake:

—Yesterday's airship just exploded.

Generally speaking, it is impossible for synthetics to consider that Russell will immediately take the next airship without fear; they have already blown up an airship, and if they receive information in advance that Russell is going to board this airship, Of course, I won't be afraid to blow up another one.

On the other hand, the news has already spread to Sun Island, and Tongshen Island, which has lost face, is going to be martial law on a large scale. It was impossible to let these people who hated the "outer island company dogs" get close to the airship.

—should any of the rebels travel abroad

What should I do if the customer makes a move?

If there are accidents to foreign tourists or other high-level people in the sky island for two consecutive days, it will not only damage the reputation-a disaster of this scale may alarm the dragon. I am afraid that the board of directors will be punished by the dragon because of weak governance.

Therefore, it is impossible for those people to get close to the airship normally.

But Russell and Ringo were followed by people within ten minutes after getting off the airship, which meant that someone must have tipped them off.

In other words, Russell's information and intelligence had been exposed since he got off the airship.

In the context of martial law, the personal information of the first-class passengers who had a temporary appointment yesterday was leaked to the enemy within ten minutes of disembarking from the empty boat-this can only be leaked deliberately by Shenzhi Heavy Industry.

They let this group over just to see Russell's character and ability.

If Russell is the kind of gentle and good old man who dare not kill him, they can bully him as much as they want; if Russell has a violent temper, then they have to be more cautious;

If Russell or Ringo kill this group of people, they can come over to threaten Russell, warn him that you are in trouble, and ask Russell to cooperate with them; if Russell does not want to attack them and chooses to endure, they can rush over and kill them. These people came to vent their anger on Russell, asking Russell to reward them for working with them—

And Russell's move was completely beyond their expectations.

What Russell said just now was not meant for Ringo.

Instead, through the bugs on these "chess pieces", they told the chess players behind them.

so-

This young and immature "hero" doesn't seem to be that easy to manipulate...

After Russell and Ringo killed all those who lost their resistance, they did not leave.

Instead, he just stayed peacefully in the alley gradually soaked in the smell of blood, waiting leisurely like watching the scenery.

as predicted. Less than three minutes later, several floating vehicles sounded their sirens and arrived from both sides of the alley at the same time.

Different from the style of Happy Island, armed men with live ammunition and masks jumped from the air one after another.

Under their feet was a flame-breathing descending device, and they raised their rifles to signal to the surroundings to disperse the crowd.

And a tall woman with long black hair and a good face got off the floating car on one side.

She respectfully saluted Russell and Ringo silently.

"Deputy director of Ultramarine Youth, Miss Lingo... you two are shocked.

"The company has arranged a banquet for the two of you, please come with me."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Russell smiled gently, and walked gracefully and calmly over the corpse.

Ringo beside him was a little stunned and flustered. He obviously didn't understand what happened, so he could only cautiously follow behind Russell.

—In this way, it will be like this now.

The original sugar-coated shells were urgently removed and turned into pure sugar-coated shells.

Although the time has not yet reached dusk, the bottom of Tongshen Island is still dark. Only the dazzling neon lights flicker on and off.

Sitting in the high-speed and stable flying car, the lights of the neon signs around me were dragged into arcs of light. Just like sitting in a time machine, there are stretched colorful streamers in all directions—

Ringo had never seen a floating car flying so low.

Objectively speaking, its height is actually not too low. Even in terms of height from the ground, it was twice as high as the hovercar she was riding in when she was working in the Energy Implementation Department of Thothling.

—However, the buildings on Tongshen Island are too tall.

They are nearly 400 meters above the ground, which is twice the height of ordinary floating vehicles. But the outrageous thing is that it only reaches the chest of the buildings on Tongshen Island.

Yes... The only difference between here and just now is that you can already see the sun when you look up from here.

But these floating cars are still wrapped in the building complex.

They draw elegant arcs and pass through the gaps formed by the corridor bridges built among these towering buildings.

This is also the first time that Ringo will have the feeling of "I always feel like I'm about to hit it" when riding a floating car.

At first, she was so frightened that she could not take her eyes off the front. The first-person drag racing scene made her adrenaline secrete until the chip started to alarm.

The extended floating car that Russell and Ringo took can accommodate five people. In addition to the two of them, there was the tall, good-looking woman with long black hair, and the silent driver at the front.

Around them, there are two floating vehicles. Staggered up and down, accompanied by flying around them.

If someone shoots at them, these eight small floating vehicles can become a barrier to block bullets.

And because they are staggered up and down, they will not block Russell's path or block their vision.

...In Sun Island, even the doctors have never been treated like this when they travel. If it weren't for the persuasion of professional ethics, she might have subconsciously turned on the camera function at this moment, recording the spectacle that she might never see again in this life.

"It seems that my speculation is correct."

Qun Qing said leisurely beside her.

His clear and soft voice will remind people of the seniors who smiled softly and pushed their glasses to speak softly when they were students.

That is the temperament similar to the "captain" Ringo admires and secretly loves.

The difference from her captain is that at this moment, Russell still has an aura of superiority that makes her dare not speak out loudly... Obviously just a few minutes ago, she didn't have this feeling.

But after Qun Qing talked to himself, it seemed like something slowly sank from him.

To describe it, it is like the turbid tea leaves become stable, and the floating broken tea leaves gradually sink to the bottom, making the tea water clear. But just lifting the teacup and shaking it a little can make it cloudy again...that's how easy it is to change.

This young hero, who clearly uses the color "Ultramarine" as his code name, but doesn't have any "Ultramarine" decorations on his body, is chatting with the indifferent black-haired woman about something Ringo doesn't quite understand. —

"I have to admire your emergency response speed when things are about to get out of control, as well as your work attitude of being realistic and realistic."

Qun Qing smiled, her tone and expression were gentle, kind and polite: "It's joyful, admirable, and... unavoidably satisfying."

But for some reason, Ringo always felt like he was laughing at something.

The main reason is that the black-haired woman opposite Qun Qing seemed to have a thorn in her respectful attitude. Using this as a mirror, Ringo could barely notice that the atmosphere between the two was not as friendly as it appeared—

People from Tongshen Island like to talk like this, that's all. When did Mr. Qunqing learn it?

"In fact, the omission of information about you, my lord, has caused us a lot of trouble."

The soft long black hair blocked one eye, and the woman with slender horse ears and a cold and elegant temperament said calmly: "If we knew in advance, the hero Qunqing on Happy Island, who is known for his purity and kindness, is actually like this in his bones. A hero who is 'traditional' and 'intelligent' enough. We would not have asked you to do this.

"But now that everyone has been invited, we can only swallow any bitter fruit. Since everything is a problem with our intelligence work, someone will bear the price for the current response. Please also You don't need to worry too much, everything can be done according to your subjective wishes, we will fully cooperate; all consumption standards here have been temporarily raised to two levels, and act according to the standards of the director of the department."

"…what are you guys saying?"

Lingo, who was watching from the side, couldn't help asking.

Coming from Sun Island, growing up in an environment with a strong academic atmosphere... For Ringo, this kind of circling, seemingly friendly but inexplicably aggressive way of speaking is really difficult to understand—she would rather go back and see more.

Russell, on the other hand, just showed a soft smile without malice.

His emerald green pupils are clear and clean, like the purest gems.

It was a face that no one could see had anything to do with conspiracy or politics.

But what he said had nothing to do with his character design: "She is complaining, I am too

I can act.

"If they had known that I wasn't a fool, they wouldn't have invited me to take the blame. But since I saw through their plan before I was caught, it proved my wisdom, so they admitted it. .

"Since the plan to make me a rubber stamp that can only be blamed has failed, then we can only implement the plan b that was prepared in advance—truly obey my command and obey my orders to deal with this matter.

"As for the price of choosing the wrong person, someone will naturally be held accountable. Probably the spy sent by Shenzhi Heavy Industries to Happy Island... the gentleman or lady who thinks I am harmless and pure, easy to use and hold hostage."

"...So they wanted to hold you hostage?"

Ringo suddenly realized.

Her ability to understand such long sentences is infinitely close to that of a bear breaking a stick—basically, she can only remember the information of the last sentence.

So the girl was suddenly full of hostility towards the black-haired woman, like a pet dog barking at a stranger: "Mr. Qunqing, don't trust them! They lost face with you, and they will definitely not let it go... Book said above!"

Hearing this, Russell and the woman looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Lingo snorted softly, vaguely realizing that he might have said something wrong, and closed his mouth hesitantly.

But she didn't understand what was wrong.

"That's already the last paragraph of the story."

Russell said gently: "The so-called 'testing' is like this. It is precisely because we don't know whether it is a friend or an enemy, whether it is easy to deal with or handle it, so we need to test. Pay a small price to seek more benefits, or realize that it is not easy. The best thing is to cut the tail and stop the loss at the first time.

"If after the temptation, you know that you can't be an enemy and it's not easy to handle, but you still don't change your attitude, then what's the use of the temptation itself?

"In other words, since they plan to try it out, they naturally have to prepare two plans in advance. Because they have already anticipated another possibility. The so-called 'testing' with only one plan is just a formality for self-deception?

"You watched too much when you were young, Ringo.

"In the final analysis, the so-called 'face' is the least valuable thing.

"—It is precisely because some people have nothing, can't do anything, and can't make further progress in substance, so they pursue 'face' and 'respect' to anesthetize themselves. Let me tell them that it is already too much to stop here It's amazing."

"It's like... small and cute?"

Ringo's brain was overloaded, and he subconsciously replied, "If it's really big enough, you don't need to care about it... eh?!"

She quickly realized what she had said, blushed immediately, and her ears perked up.

She immediately covered her face, blushing even to her collarbone.

The expressions of Russell and the black-haired woman suddenly became strange.

"...You don't just watch teenagers, do you?"

Russell looked at Ringo with some hesitation, and calmly repaired him.

"Compared with that kind of illusory thing... what is more realistic is the question of who is responsible and who is responsible."

The black-haired woman coughed lightly, revealing her tenderness as a woman.

Instead of embarrassing Lingo, she took the topic calmly and tried her best to speak in words that Lingo could understand to distract her: "But in any case, as long as this matter can be handled properly, this is still an important issue for our group." The credit. Although the process has changed, the ultimate goal remains the same.”

Russell also said along the way, with an inexplicable synchronization between the demeanor and the black-haired woman: "Tongshen Island needs to be changed, and someone needs to be responsible for the rebellion of synthetic humans. 'Hero Russell' is a perfect excuse, and I would like to Bear the result—because I don't care what the xenophobic civilians of Tongshen Island think of me.

"But I am willing to bear this infamy, which is the result of my real decision-making - in other words, since I am allowed to take the blame, at least let me really have the power to command them all. That is to say, it is not that I don't even have the right to veto After signing a contract, going through a cutscene and taking a vacation, for no reason, he returned home with a blame that flew from nowhere.

"Don't even think about it, I know that if we were timid just now, we would have signed some inexplicable decision-making documents. Most of the old men behind the scenes were mixed in, and the policies that we had long wanted to change and the people we wanted to kill Mix it in and throw me the pot with it. That's what they're gonna do...  

"—because if it were me, I'd do it too."

Russell smiled brightly and looked at the woman beside him.

He said meaningfully: "Of course, even now, it's not impossible for me to do it.

"But that's another price tag. The price paid by director Amirus for inviting me here is not enough for me to take the extra blame."

"About these matters, I will pass them on to Chairman Saar."

The black-haired woman replied seriously: "Shenzhi Heavy Industry has everything. Even if it is the unique technology of ampoule biomedicine or Thoth psychic power, we also have it.

"I heard from Director Amirus that you originally planned to work on Tongshen Island. In fact, it's not too late... If you want to help us or participate in research, you don't necessarily have to be on Tongshen Island .

"If you are willing to join us and help us, I think we can afford all the price - I think no one in this world can offer a higher price than us. We can catch up with the price that other giants can offer Higher. You don't have to worry about the thoughts of those lower-level scum... Tongshen Island was actually built by people from the outer islands, because although we don't have a mature talent training system, we have always poached people directly from other empty islands of.

"We have recruited more than 300 artificial intelligence experts, network security experts, and prosthetic experts from Sogo Island, some scholars who are proficient in reappearing ancient science and technology from Sun Island, and astrologers and oceanographers from Yongquan Island. Physicists, reorganized the entire annealing nerve center team, we dug more than 40 architects, botanists, and artists from Taoyuan Island, and more than 80 elite physicians and replicas from Sacred Blood Island And optimized some unique drugs in ampoules, and more than 800 outstanding scholars in the field of biomedicine, built a pharmaceutical production park that is no worse than the main part of the Holy Blood Island...

"Even in Happy Island, we have recruited nearly a hundred elites from all walks of life. The 'Dust Gap' and 'Monkey-faced Eagle' you know are just a small part of them.

"The real elites we bought live on the sunny upper floors. They are the essence of the entire Tongshen Island—if Sun Island wants to build a library that collects all theoretical knowledge, ancient technology and historical secrets, then What Kamijima wants to build...is a collection of industrial systems all over the world.

"This entire Tongshen Island is a huge industrial complex. The directors of our Shenzhi Heavy Industry are fundamentally different from the directors of other sky islands.

"Eighty percent of the island's income controlled by our top management is not used for enjoyment, let alone squandered... but for plunder.

"Based on economic plunder, plunder of talent and industrial system.

"You're new here, so you don't know. The rejection of the foreign islanders by those low-class scum is mixed with hatred and jealousy.

"Those in the Tianen Group whose brains are made for entertainment, don't know what it means to be the best student trained by the 'Door Opener' Sally Ruth, but we do know. What kind of research do you want to do? Which sky island's unique technology patent to buy, which sky island's doctorate to assist your research, you can just mention it, we can afford it.

"Your political wisdom also proves that you are not the kind of naive teenager or a nerd who is played with casually. A first-class researcher with outstanding leadership skills and political wisdom, you are exactly the talent we are lacking."

The black-haired woman opened up the conversation box, bewitching Russell endlessly.

Her words are full of sincerity—Russell can really feel that their attitude towards digging themselves is firm.

…No wonder.

The fake Tokifat back then was so easily given the position of deputy director to him. It turns out that Shenzhi Heavy Industry really has this kind of tradition.

It does not pursue the truth of history, nor does it care about theoretical knowledge. Instead, they directly dig out technical talents who have completed phased experiments, and value the realization and reproduction of technology more than anyone else...

This is not some kind of aimless, greedy technology-grabbing monopoly.

They have a clear purpose, what they want to accomplish - only this possibility will last

Constantly poach people, and only poach technical talents.

And when they poach people, they highlight a "I want everything" instead of being limited to a certain field...

"The recurrence of the technical system... is it?"

Russell murmured: "So this is what you are after?

"No, or...you and Sun Island are pursuing similar ultimate goals—you are also trying to reproduce ancient technology, right?"

Hearing Russell's words, the woman fell silent.

Although she didn't even change her pupils, and even micro-expressions didn't emerge on her face after minor surgery adjustments.

But Russell still felt the fear in her heart. It was the fear of being exposed and confronted with the truth.

…I see.

The ultimate goal of Shenzhi Heavy Industry is probably not as simple as completing cyber immortality.

They are more greedy... want to reproduce the entire ancient technological system.

But this doesn't seem right, at least cyber immortality should not be ancient technology, and the elves know nothing about it.

So, is this taboo in ancient technology? In other words, what they are after is not even just to reproduce ancient technology...

Instead, do more.

"So greedy..."

No wonder the "mammon" was hatched.

The name Mammon is the demon **** who symbolizes "greed" in the Seven Deadly Sins.

"...I don't hate it."

Russell smiled.

So far, it can be regarded as the inference part. If I continue to talk, although I can dig out more secrets by perceiving the other party's psychology, I am afraid that my situation will be dangerous.

This kind of Kudo Shinichi's behavior is still avoided.

After completely suppressing the opponent, Russell calmly changed the subject in a victorious manner: "You mean...Chairman Saar?"

He looked back at the human woman with horse ears, and asked politely, "Speaking of which, what should I call you?"

"...I am a Siren."

The dark-haired woman said softly, "Chairman Saar's secretary."

"The chairman's secretary came to recruit me personally..."

Russell murmured softly, and the slender, white fingers of his right hand seemed to be playing a piano, beating casually on the table, putting enormous psychological pressure on the siren.

Although she looks to be in her early twenties, she is actually in her fifties this year. This is exactly the result of the "elixir of youth" technology purchased from the Holy Blood Island, which blocks the aging of the body.

Although human directors cannot use this life extension method, she can circumvent this restriction as a secretary. As a result, the substantive power she holds in her hands is no less than that of a human director.

The boy in front of her, who was obviously less than half her age, seemed to give her a sense of pressure when dealing with the elf director.

It's not that it's really frightening and incomprehensible... She has seen too many elves, and she has long been accustomed to the kind of wisdom that surpasses mortals.

It is a sense of disobedience brought about by a nature that is completely different from appearance and appearance.

She looked at Russell as if she were looking at another self. At only twenty years old, you can get the wisdom of nearly sixty years old...is this reasonable?
