The moment he saw "Tokifat", Russell knew why the other elf directors couldn't recognize his identity.
Because he is so weird.
The overwhelming specificity of Tokifat's body washed away all the "strange smell" in him.
This is like if a spy tries hard to imitate a normal person, his true identity will always be exposed in some details. But if he becomes a well-known fanatic, a weirdo that everyone can avoid, he may hide his true identity. A sense of disharmony within oneself.
This is the so-called pretentiousness.
From the very beginning, this was Tokifat's design.
First, let Russell enter the brain-shaped heavy factory complex of "Shenzhi Heavy Industry", and specifically take him through various production workshops and R&D workshops... let him walk among the walls that are constantly opening and closing like a maze, distracting him attention, occupying his thinking space.
Just when Russell started to feel a little tired and bored, he happened to be here.
The surrounding environment went from noisy and noisy to extremely quiet in an instant. It was like playing a horror game and the melodious BGM stopped at some point.
The feeling of momentary silence is eerie, and the concentration is instantly concentrated.
And walking alone through the long, dark corridor, I saw a strange scene at the end that looked like a mirror, or like a movie being watched alone... Suddenly I saw Tokifat, who could no longer be considered a "human" Transformation of complex prosthetic bodies will naturally feel an unprecedented impact.
No one will think about whether this is the real Tokifat.
If Russell hadn't seen the deer-headed statue before, he would never have doubted his identity.
If someone is surprised by this and continues to investigate deeply... they will eventually discover that they encountered an air strike from angels during that inheritance ceremony.
And the current "Tokifat" was also one of the victims that day.
All this is just like the plan laid out by Tokifat before...the more you investigate, the deeper you go, and the more you understand, the more you will be misled and manipulated by Tokifat.
He never repeatedly emphasizes his authenticity, nor does he tell others about his past stories. He just makes people surprised and curious... In the end, everything depends on other people's own efforts to investigate and think, and depends on others' own inner thoughts. inference.
He only subtly affects the minds of others through design and layout, and then indirectly controls the will of others.
Tokifat sits in his wheelchair like this on weekdays, like a silent spider spinning its web.
Of course...considering that he has no legs, it may not be sitting.
He looks as quiet as a potted plant. It doesn't seem strange to say that he "grew" in a wheelchair.
When none of the successors survived and no one was intact, Tokifat, who was also a victim, naturally could not remain intact.
He lost both his legs and one arm... Maybe he could have had an autologous clone transplant, but Tokifat didn't seem to care about his own body.
This is the only one among all the elf directors Russell has seen, and even among all the elves, who has undergone a high-intensity prosthetic transformation of himself.
Compared with others, his reasons for transformation seemed so reasonable that they were a bit out of place.
Because Tokifat really lost these limbs due to the disaster, instead of cutting off the originally healthy limbs and converting them into prostheses for the purpose of strengthening or beautifying the limbs. This may be the original meaning of the existence of prostheses.
But unlike others, Tokifat's prosthetic body has nothing to do with humans at all.
The prosthetic body he uses is the style of Shenzhen Heavy Industry. Russell also recognizes the tentacle-like things under his body. It is a specially designed prosthetic body modeled as "Hair of Medusa", a type of prosthetic body that can rely on consciousness to
A special-shaped prosthetic limb that can be manipulated to twist, extend, or shorten at will.
Its front section can be modified into a screwdriver, scalpel, gastroscope and other devices, or it can be modified into various interfaces. Some doctors and prosthetists will use special slotted prosthetic arms to install on the forearm or shoulder.
A "Hair of Medusa" is installed on it. This means that they will no longer have the problem of "shaky hands". Even if the body moves, the prosthetic tentacles will remain stable like a cloud platform.
If it weren't for the fact that it didn't look very good and was extremely expensive, Russell would have wanted to buy one back then.
After all, this thing is quite useful for assisting in loading and unloading prosthetics... and the biggest advantage is that when he modifies his left arm prosthesis, he no longer has to work hard to modify the "Medusa" on the left arm prosthesis with one hand.
"Fa" can be bent over, which in turn assists in disassembly and maintenance of the left arm.
Although its price is a little cheaper than Russell's arm, it's not much cheaper. But just one arm is definitely more expensive than a good brand of float car.
And Tokifat has equipped himself with more than thirty tentacles of different thicknesses and lengths.
They look like shining silver earthworms, constantly spreading and squirming around below the waist. Therefore, it can be judged that it seems to be the latest model equipped with sensors and camera functions. There should also be some installed in the front section.
Shooting weapons.
If an ordinary person looks at it, I am afraid that this scene will be a bit scary and weird...
But as a knowledgeable person, Russell's first reaction was envy: "It's great to have money."
Tokifat's five-branch prosthetic hand looks like a cyberbodhisattva, and Russell is very familiar with this model.
This is the same series used by the mercenary leader he saw on the airship. It was the one who fired a palm cannon and was cut into bullets by Russell's knife.
It's just at least five versions and four versions more advanced than the mercenary leader. It's the latest trial model currently on the market. Only a few people with connections can get it. It's the same batch as Russell's "Aoi Lily" prosthetic hand.
The second level is the level of "not yet in mass production".
As for the one used by Tokifat, there was no relevant information at all.
Judging from its high-tech streamlined feel, it probably emits plasma or laser, and again it is probably an electromagnetic gun... I guess it won't be that easy to cut through the bullets fired from it.
...How should I put it?
In other words, the elf director usually doesn't show much publicity, otherwise this would simply be an advertisement.
Chairman of many companies do not know how to use their own products at all. But Tokifat is more than just using it. He has piled materials on himself, and has hung up all the places where his own prosthetics can be hung.
He transformed himself into an alien.
From another perspective, he is also an alien with lots of money. What he wears can probably buy thirty buildings in Tianen District... Considering that these things are the latest models, they are probably updated in real time.
.
"Sixteen seconds."
Suddenly, the boy who looked like a silvery white man suddenly spoke softly.
"What?"
Russell didn't react for a moment.
"From the moment you saw me, you looked at me intently for sixteen seconds."
"Tokifat" raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "So far, you are the one with the longest time."
"Won't they be surprised when they see you?"
Russell was not polite, he just asked curiously.
The silver boy answered in a good voice: "When they see me, they only have three seconds at most. They will subconsciously look away due to fear, nausea, etc. Then, either out of curiosity or out of courtesy,
Only then will I turn my eyes back again...
"Only you, after seeing me, looked at my entire body from top to bottom."
"Probably because I really understand."
"Indeed. After all, he is Sally Ruth's favorite student."
"You also have contact with your mentor?"
"We directors rarely have contact with each other."
Tokifat was not in a hurry to get to the point, and just chatted with Russell gently: "But the important information on each island will be collected by the staff as soon as possible, and will be given to us after analysis.
"So even if there is no contact information between the seven islands, we can always know the news on other empty islands as soon as possible.
"When you were a graduate student, you independently improved three models of flower series prosthetics. I also sent you an invitation at that time...do you remember?"
"...It turns out it's you."
Russell suddenly understood.
When he graduated that year, he did receive a job offer from Shenzhi Heavy Industry, starting at the engineer level.
But Russell didn't look at the specific details carefully... because he had already promised his mother to come to Tian'en Group to join his uncle. So he politely refused at that time. Since he had already made up his mind not to go, he would study it carefully.
On the contrary, it will make you more distressed.
However, he did not expect that the invitation letter signed with the name of the elf shareholder was actually sent by the elf shareholder...
Generally speaking, shouldn't this kind of letter be drafted by the subordinate, and then the boss is only responsible for signing and sealing it?
Sometimes you don’t even need to stamp it yourself…
Knowing that he had actually been in contact with this "fake Tokifat" before, Russell suddenly felt a little fond of him and even lowered his guard.
At that moment, Russell immediately realized
This "False Tokifat" is the same type of person as himself.
But fortunately, he had enough understanding of Tokifat before.
Therefore, within a minute of meeting him, Russell had already completed the basic copying and copying of his personality.
So Russell immediately adjusted the details of his personality and switched to a psychological form that was more compatible with Tokifat:
Completely trust his identity as a director, have a sense of identity with his abilities and talents, don't care much about his native body, don't question his control over plans and people's hearts, don't think he is a sullen and cunning person, and don't treat him as a cunning person.
Treat him as a superior master and a mentor, show a little feeling of being controlled by him but have his own ideas, show his own value and challenge that is difficult to control, his essence can be seen a little but cannot be touched
His greatest fear...
Like water, it is unpredictable.
It's like Russell, the psychic shapeshifter who can always befriend anyone.

I haven't recovered from my cold yet, so I started writing at ten o'clock and didn't finish the first chapter until three o'clock in the afternoon. It's not lunch yet...
I'll continue writing the second chapter in the afternoon. I'll probably have to take a day off tomorrow because my body can't handle it...
Let’s go have a meal first, then come back and continue writing!
