Overturned Tower

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: [New]https://Fastest update! No ads!

Let's have a good talk, he said.

Such wild words, but got the promise of the existence in the brain.

But if it's just a program, a split, it's too impolite to use it for dialogue.

The monkey-faced eagle gave Russell a rather specific address—presumably, if Russell informs the executive department, it should be difficult for them to evacuate.

This can be said to have given a kind of sincerity in advance.

But on the other hand... If Russell is willing to go alone, it can be said to be more sincerity in itself. As a response to this second level of sincerity, the monkey-faced eagle readily agreed that Russell could take Ringo, the "bodyguard", with him.

In other words, after Russell offered to "meet and talk", the monkey-faced eagle took two steps back instead.

It was at this time that Russell realized that he had indeed become a big shot... just to allow him to do some dangerous things, others had to pay a greater risk in advance as a "deposit" or "bait".

After contacting the monkey-faced eagle, the corpse of "Dust Gap" lost its value.

Russell, who was still enthusiastically analyzing the bullet holes, immediately threw it away and left the room in the dust gap.

Before leaving, Russell thought for a while and took a pen from the desk in Dust Gap.

He uncapped the pen and looked. There was no sign of dried ink on the nib. Obviously the owner loves this pen very much and uses it often.

Then Russell drew a straight line on the table.

It draws extremely straight lines without any breaks in between. Seeing this, Russell opened the ink sac of the pen again, and checked the amount and solidification of the ink inside.

—It's still about half the amount, and it doesn't show any signs of congealing.

He raised his eyebrows, then put the pen in his pocket, ready to take it away with him.

"…what?"

Seeing this, Lingo froze for a moment.

She gently tugged at the hem of Russell's clothes, and whispered, "Isn't it good for us to take away the things from the scene of the crime?"

"probably."

When Russell heard this, he chuckled softly, "But I'm not the first one."

"Eh?"

Needless to say, fountain pens are quite expensive things.

Because in this era when "paper" is very precious, very difficult to buy, and can even be said to be controlled, the pen used to write on paper is a kind of "luxury applied to luxury goods".

Paper is not valuable because of the scarcity of natural trees—although ancient paper-making techniques required the use of bark, modern times have long since needed that kind of stuff. The technology that can artificially synthesize food will only make it easier to synthesize paper.

The preciousness and rarity of paper is the result of the deliberate control of each sky island.

On the surface, it is because electronic documents can be easily transferred to each other and carried with you. In order to reduce office costs and protect the environment, the use of paper materials is not advocated. Those important files don't even need to be stored on the chip...just be stored on the network disk. Even if it is doodling, you can breathe out a piece of virtual paper in front of your eyes at any time to complete it.

Because unless they accidentally walked into the black area, they were always connected to the internal network of each sky island. Internet speeds are basically instant transfers, and they don't cost anything. In theory, this technology has indeed completely eliminated the classical and traditional "paper".

However, paper also has its unique meaning of existence.

Just like the "suspected demon report" of Happy Island, which is printed directly using only paper—as long as this information is stored in any way, or even "stored" in a network disk, it is always possible to be stolen, rewritten, delete. In the network, no corner is absolutely safe.

Just like Huazhi's case... the psychiatrist's treatment is stored in paper documents. Including some technology companies, in order to prevent the opponent from finding a psychic hacker to steal or maliciously rewrite the data, they will also encrypt the data and record the key on paper, or even directly record the most critical data in paper materials.

On the other hand, as long as the output and sales of paper can be controlled, people will have to put all their materials and documents on the Internet.

The network security departments of each sky island can find out what they want to know from these materials.

By analyzing these files with artificial intelligence, more detailed and accurate advertisements can be pushed; and after everyone's information is linked together, more precious intelligence data can be obtained from data analysis. For those cyber detectives and psychic hackers, the data stored in the cloud is a huge treasure trove.

It is also because of this that even paper books have become rare—that is to prevent people from buying books as paper. As a result, books, which are extremely cheap, have instead become luxury goods that symbolize status.

Only groups or individuals directly under the head office can buy a quota of white paper. Used to record something that is not convenient to put on the network.

Just like people who have been typing for a long time, they may have to think about writing their own names. It's the same in this era...

"For ordinary people who have no access and no access to paper, they basically can't write or have never written. Because the skill of calligraphy requires a lot of practice, and the pen must be used all the time, otherwise the nib will be damaged. Ink is easy to dry. For those who only occasionally use paper, they prefer to use a gel pen. The lithium ester at the end can ensure that the ink is not easy to evaporate and dry, and can always follow up to press the ink down to ensure writing Completely fluent.

"So they don't know the difference between a fountain pen and a gel pen, and they may not even know what a pen is. Therefore, they don't realize what it means to be able to write with a pen."

Russell took Ringo into the car.

The driver sent by Tartarus was driving the floating car, while Russell crouched in the corner of the back seat with his head tilted, eyes closed and lazily explaining: "Obviously, there is no one on the desk or in the drawer. Paper. Ke Chenchi’s pen is still here.”

"…what does that mean?"

"It means that if Dust Gap is really alive, the person who took away those research records would definitely not be Dust Gap."

Russell said softly: "He took the paper, but he didn't take the pen. And this pen has sucked half a tube of ink, and it can still write... It means that it is used almost every day, and it was not long ago. In use."

"...Maybe I forgot it? After all, Mr. Chen Chi will not be short of this pen. If it is not convenient to carry it, just buy another one at that time."

"No, that's impossible."

Russell said firmly.

As he spoke, he took out the pen from his pocket and opened the cap.

He handed the pen to Ringo, and the sharp point made Ringo shrink his head.

She looked intently, and saw the words engraved on the golden pen covered with the cap, like a dragon.

【Let the world know of your existence, my proudest son】

"Although I don't know whether it was left to him by his father or mother ~www.readwn.com~ But no matter which side it is...it is already their relic."

Russell said decisively: "In any case, it is impossible for Dust Gap to forget to take it away. For Dust Gap, its value is higher than those documents.

"Therefore, there is only one possibility left—those who took away the files from Chen Gap were the 'professional killers' who came second. That is, the person who was originally invited to kill Chen Gap. He was giving Chen Gap After two shots, all the paper documents in the room were taken away.

"So, I think... Dust Gap probably wasn't assassinated because of us. It might just be a coincidence that he happened to die this morning.

"The reason for his assassination...maybe his research itself."

If nothing else, Chen Chi, the underrated "gift scientist", may have actually researched something.
