Overturned Tower

The record from Delphinium flashed in Russell's mind.

Russell seemed to be able to hear the minister talking quietly in that slow voice.

"It should be that after the car accident that year, he was rescued, or controlled by the people of the 'Veil of Ignorance'.

"In this era when plastic surgery and **** change are quite simple, because of the proliferation of prosthetic bodies and the ease of shape replacement, people will subconsciously identify each other with 'spiritual relative characteristics' and 'prosthetic body parts'...

"In order to prevent others from recognizing 'Little Liuli' as 'Blue Robin', his original kinship features were directly cut off, and he was disguised as a cat with a disguised prosthesis in the form of 'cat ears'."

Many clues that he had seen and found strange but didn't take to heart were connected in Russell's mind—

The idol "Xiao Liuli" is full of weight, and can even be said to be "full of two-dimensional flavor", full of deliberate words and deeds;

As the top idol of Happy Island, he is equipped with a prosthetic body for stealing photos, but he has never had any scandals with others. After retiring as an idol, he still has no boyfriend;

Russell also witnessed her sharing a room with two girls in the Hive nightclub, and their common feature is that they all have black hair;

Coupled with "Xiao Liuli"'s love and understanding of wine, and the "caged bird" that appeared in the men's room instead of the women's room...

And, the most crucial detail that was missed by Russell—

The bird in that cage was obviously a blue robin.

The alias of blue song robin is called Liuli song robin... Some people also call it "little glass".

But the "blue robin" -- only the males are azure.

Her registered name in the Hive Nightclub is "Blue Robin", which should not be a pseudonym, but an "old name".

It is the trace left after the code name was changed, because the old records have not been completely changed.

That was the name she registered when she toured and sang here before she became "Xiao Liuli"—a pseudonym that popped up automatically when her chip was detected.

This was probably the only flaw she showed.

…or, think of it the other way around.

Is that really a flaw?

This deliberately left feature that can connect the two identities... is like the "connection code" left in the agreed place after fleeing separately.

Russell, who was silent, turned again into the men's toilet in the K area on the first floor.

The birdcage is still there.

In the black and white bathroom, there is a steel-colored birdcage.

The azure blue on the bird's body is so bright and eye-catching.

Like...an idol.

Dazzling, bright and clear.

That is a future that seems to swallow up people's souls... as calm as the sea.

The blue robin in the cage seemed to see Russell entering again and tilted his head to look at him.

Although it is a songbird, it has been silent. Didn't make any sound.

— boom boom!

Russell felt a sudden palpitation.

It was like standing up suddenly after squatting for a long time, and faint dizziness came from the back of the head.

At the bottom of Russell's pupils, a gray-white flame instead of emerald green slowly ignited.

He sighed softly.

"That's right, I was negligent..."

How could he think that little Liuli had already left?

Is it because the ventilation ducts have been moved?

But in that case, the delphinium who controlled the camera should be able to find her location from the camera on the street.

It was Russell who thought from the beginning that with Little Liuli's figure, he could easily get out of the ventilation duct... So when he was in the women's toilet, he was consciously looking for traces of the ventilation duct being used. That's why when he found her in the men's room, he breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself that she had left safely, and that the birdcage was some kind of message she left behind.

But look now.

There is no evil that secretly manipulates everything.

Xiao Liuli herself was the detected demon herself—it could even be said that after she degenerated into a demon, Xiao Liuli, who was still a chess piece and did not escape control, deliberately participated in the detection to induce today's incident.

Everything is on the string.

Russell took a deep look at the bird, turned around and closed and locked the toilet door.

It's like closing the door of the bird cage to prevent it from flying away.

With his back to the bird in the cage, he said softly:

"Blue Robin... I should be able to call you that."

He turned his head and looked at the blue robin in the cage.

Russell went straight to the point and asked straight to the point: "Are you the host of the game 'Caged Bird'?"

This is Russell's final question.

"-not me."

The soft voice belonging to Xiao Liuli resounded from the bird's mouth.

The next moment, the metal birdcage suddenly opened by itself.

Although it is a slender hollow birdcage.

But inexplicably, there was the muffled sound of heavy metal handcuffs and shackles falling to the ground.

A strange and vivid dark blue flowed out from the birdcage, turning into invisible sea water, overwhelming it.

clatter—

Amidst the seemingly invisible sound of the rising tide, Russell was in a trance, and everything in the small space of the toilet seemed to be crushed and disappeared.

Everything around is gone.

The space he was in turned into a square hexahedron. It's like the inside of a Rubik's Cube with only one color.

No doors, no windows... only one color in all directions. A bright dark blue.

To be precise, it should be ultramarine blue.

And there is only a narrow space of ten square meters in the hexahedron, which is like a smaller single bedroom.

Standing in front of Russell was the cat with long pink hair.

Little Liuli's ponytail spread out, and it was scattered behind her in a mess. The blouse stained with alcohol was casually held by her, and she was only wearing underwear, revealing a beautiful figure without any concealment.

"You saved someone who shouldn't be saved."

Sighing, she threw the shirt away.

After it was released, it turned into ultramarine blue water and sank into this space.

Her voice, which is always full of vitality, has become hoarse and tired at the moment; the face that always shows a perfect smile that can lift the spirit of others is expressionless at the moment.

The green crystal eyes, as clear and transparent as glass, have lost their beautiful brilliance.

Or in other words, this is the original her.

Her behind the scenes.

Not as "Little Liuli", but as another negative "Blue Robin".

A strong sense of crisis emanated from her.

And Russell stood in front of her almost face to face—in this closed space without doors or windows.

"…how."

Facing this situation, Russell was very calm.

He even raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "After becoming a cat, can't bear the hunting instinct?

"This should be the psionic ability to capture people and hunt them down. It's empty, nothingness. It's like a Colosseum... and a birdcage."

This is Russell deliberately mocking the other party.

By provoking Xiao Liuli, we can further judge her current situation - anyway, he will definitely not be able to get out now~www.readwn.com~ is subtly different from what the company told Russell.

Today's Little Liuli is obviously rational...but she has become quite gloomy.

It was completely different from the gloomy feeling that Xiao Liuli gave people before.

It's like a numb social animal, like a walking dead.

In this enclosed space, Xiao Liuli finally stopped pretending.

She looked at Russell blankly, and asked, "What do you want to know?"

The completely different tone from that of the girl proves that Delphinium's findings are beyond doubt correct.

"What is the relationship between you and the Veil of Ignorance?"

"The exploiter and the exploited. It sounds better to say that," she sneered, "Or do I have to say something more exciting? For example, to cover up bad news under the veil of ignorance? Ah, then I do, and do it often...otherwise, they wouldn't be hidden until now."

"I mean…"

Russell paused: "You are actually trying to save your fiancée."

"...do you understand this level?"

"How is she now?"

Russell asked.

The moment these words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly changed.

Xiao Liuli raised her head when she heard the words.

She tilted her head back slightly, her tone suddenly became cold: "Why are you asking that?"

Strange sharp accents—like the voices of a baby and a man, superimposed on Xiao Liuli's voice, emerged together.

"Do you want to control me too?

"Like manipulating a puppet?

"my hero】?!"

Her anger was like a scream.

At this moment, it sounds like a howling bird.
