Chapter 1 The cat that was picked up and brought home
Russell half leaned on the bed, took off the game blindfold, and sighed deeply.
"It's boring..."
At this moment, the door to the room opened with a creak.
Delphinium, who had just taken off her coat and was changing into home clothes, walked in from the door carrying a bag of buns.
"You're off work~"
Russell's voice immediately changed and became more submissive.
"Obviously you play games in the office when you go to work."
Delphinium said angrily: "Why can't you continue playing games while lying down?"
"I don't know either."
Russell was also a little confused about the sudden fatigue.
He finally came to a conclusion: "Maybe the fun thing is not the game, but fishing.
"Watching you and the bad guys working hard while I sit there fishing - this feeling is even happier than playing games."
When Delphinium heard this, she directly threw the bun in her hand to Russell.
She put one hand on her waist and said angrily and funnyly: "Don't say it in front of me!
"Do you know it can lower your blood pressure!"
If Russell hadn't recovered well, Delphinium would have rushed up to knock him on the head or pull his ears.
Russell looked innocent and imitated Delphinium's tone: "But I am a cat."
Delphinium began to seriously consider whether to punch him.
It's noon on August 2nd.
Russell passed out on the street in the early hours of yesterday. Less than thirty hours had passed.
Delphinium, who was still protecting Xia and the others in the Lower City, suddenly sensed that Russell had used her chip.
However, the location is a bit strange——
Not in downtown, but in uptown.
She immediately realized something was wrong.
Not long ago, Russell appeared in front of the camera.
If calculated based on time, he immediately went to the uptown area after appearing... So why did he suddenly appear in front of the camera?
——Create an alibi?
The clever Delphinium immediately realized Russell's purpose.
She also roughly guessed why Russell would use his chip in Uptown without warning.
In addition to being used to explode when she is desperate, her spiritual energy has another use... that is to re-suppress the out-of-control spiritual energy when she is about to lose control and turn into a demon.
Russell's psychic powers were already blue, five, and red, and he could complete the surge at any time.
At five levels of red shift, the shift surge is completed, which is very easy to get out of control - at six levels of red shift, and the red shift is higher than the blue shift, it will be completely transformed into a demon.
For ordinary psykers, this process may continue for a while...but for mid-level psykers who have completed the migration, losing control even once is not allowed.
She was very worried about Russell's situation.
Fortunately, the overwhelming war in the lower city has basically ended at this time, and it should be no problem to leave the remaining part to the inferior ones.
So Delphinium also followed Russell's example and deliberately flashed in front of the camera.
Then she headed towards the location where Russell last appeared in her induction.
As a result, Russell was found unconscious in the water.
His whole body was soaked by the heavy rain, and his ears and tail, which were originally nice and clean, with soft fur, were also wet with mud and water. His whole body looked like a stray cat that had been soaked by the heavy rain, looking embarrassed and pitiful.
Considering that Russell deliberately created an alibi, he might have some secrets that he didn’t want to be discovered...
So Delphinium did not choose to take a taxi to send Russell home, nor did she call the emergency call the hospital.
She first gave Russell a pill to prevent angina, and then sent a message to her father, asking him to drive over and bring a blanket.
Fortunately, the war in Xiacheng District was very fierce, and Delphinium's father was still awake, lying under the quilt watching the live broadcast, looking very energetic.
When he arrived, he was shocked -
The "Ultramarine" who was killing everyone in the video just now is unconscious in the uptown area?
But he didn't ask anything... The two of them wrapped Russell in a blanket, stuffed him into the trunk, and took him directly to Delphinium's own home.
Originally Delphinium wanted to help Russell clean it.
But Delphinium's father drove her away in disgust and asked her to take a bath for herself first.
Before Delphinium had finished washing, her father quickly cleaned Russell's body and put him in Delphinium's bedroom.
—— Delphinium: What about me?
——Father Delphinium: You and your mother should sleep in the same bed, and give your bed to Ultramarine.
But in fact, the delphinium still didn't sleep until the end.
Because until now, after such intense manipulation, Russell still showed no sign of waking up.
And not long after lying down, I had another attack of angina. Then I started to have a fever again... This was probably because I soaked in cold water for a long time.
Delphinium gave Russell medicine again.
I kept watching until 3:30 in the morning without getting sick again, so I fell asleep next to Russell.
She woke up at eight o'clock in the morning and took Russell's temperature. Seeing that it was back to normal, she felt relieved to get up and go to work, and asked Director Dodgson for a leave of absence on Russell's behalf.
This was to avoid the knowledge of his trauma - and also to protect Russell's alibi.
The reason is very reasonable...Russell blended into the crowd of people fleeing in the Lower City, hoping to get more information.
When Quan Shu was arrested before, Russell had already reported his "cross-dressing and sneaking in" behavior to explain how he appeared directly in the hinterland.
This is the right excuse to use now.
He didn't take sick leave because he couldn't explain why Russell didn't go to the hospital.
After all, the Special Execution Department's medical expenses have always been fully reimbursed. Taking sick leave but not going to the hospital will definitely make people suspicious.
——Even though Russell was still in a coma, Delphinium helped him handle the follow-up matters safely.
At least his previous preparations would not be paralyzed because he was unconscious for most of the day.
Different from usual...
Usually Delphinium doesn't go home until it's too late. It stays in the office to eat at noon and evening, and doesn't go home until late at night.
But because she was worried about Russell's situation, Delphinium rushed back at noon to see how the kitten she had picked up was doing.
Her father also has his own job...and her mother writes full-time at home, so she has some time to take care of Russell.
But after all, she has no professional knowledge.
Although Delphinium warned her, if any illness occurs, what medicine should be used, and even the label on the bottle states that it is medicine for treating fever, colds, and angina. There is also a chip left for dealing with psychic powers.
Out of control...but she still didn't trust her own mother's reliability.
But when she hurried back, she found that Russell had woken up. Although his face was still a little pale and his body was very weak, he seemed to be in good spirits - he was sitting on the bed, chatting happily with her mother.
Chatting happily - refers to the two people being very happy when discussing the dark history of Delphinium's childhood.
After she went to work, Russell had another fever and angina, and her condition gradually stabilized.
Although Russell claimed that he had recovered and was able to go to work——
But his current mental state is still obviously not right.
His spiritual power could not be suppressed at all... The pale flame in his pupils kept beating unsteadily, changing color from time to time. At one point, Mother Delphinium even thought that he was a modified prosthetic eye, and he was risking RGB
of light.
So Delphinium forced Russell to rest for another day to avoid being found out that he was in a bad state.
Worried that Russell would be bored, Delphinium waited until he got off work in the evening and took back the gaming goggles that Russell had left in the office.
As a result, when I returned home the next day, I found Russell lying on his bed and picking at fish, looking like he had no energy to play games when he was not at work.
A hard fist belongs to yes.
"Your mental state has recovered quite well."
Seeing that there was no longer a glimmer of psychic energy in Russell's eyes, Delphinium crossed his arms and commented: "In that case, come back to work tomorrow."
Until now, she has not asked Russell what he did the night before, or why he was overloaded with psychic energy and passed out in an unmonitored alley in the uptown area early yesterday morning.
If Russell didn't say anything, she wouldn't ask.
There is still this level of trust between them.
Delphinium added: "It just so happens that something happened in the past two days. You may have to be busy for a few days when you go back.
"What happened?"
Russell was slightly shocked, thinking that it might be the bad guy who was captured and his memory was checked.
But Delphinium's words made him stunned.
"Miss Bai Xue died yesterday.
"It looks like he committed suicide by jumping off a building."
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
After the update, my body still hasn’t recovered...I started to have back pain again, so I went to the hospital for a waist repair in the afternoon!
There will be only one update today, and double updates will resume at noon tomorrow!
