Huazhu looked at Russell with eyes that first changed from surprise to sarcasm, and then turned to pity...
In the end, it turned into gentleness.
"I see……"
Hua Chu said softly: "You really want to be a hero, little Russell.
"Such an innocent, simple, and stubborn ideal... You said, 'It is very difficult to be a good person.' But you know, your road is even more difficult than being a simple good person."
"Perhaps I should call you Mr. Ultramarine?"
"Both Russell and Ultramarine think so."
Contrary to Hua Hu, who was extremely relaxed and curled up lazily in his seat, Russell sat upright, leaning forward, without the slightest smile on his face.
"Of course I know this road is difficult. But I think maybe it's because of this... that this world allowed me to be born here."
He whispered something that Huazhu couldn't understand: "I think that's why I'm here."
He can feel the pain of others just by living here.
It was an overwhelming despair that he had never felt in another world.
The confusion, pain, despair, sadness that sweeps through everyone's heart...
"This is a world where there is no justice and no one is allowed to choose kindness.
"People's enthusiasm for 'heroes' is the last straw in the hands of drowning victims.
"That's why they are so crazy. Because they know in their hearts that the straw is meaningless...
"But this straw is not meant to be meaningless. They are not meant to hold meaningless straws."
Russell looked at Huachu seriously and said word by word: "I am very grateful for the treatment you gave me, and I respect your knowledge and professionalism.
"But I'm still going to mind my own business. It doesn't matter if I'm wrong... I'd rather be wrong than do nothing.
"So, what do you think?
"Senior Huachu."
Huachu wanted Russell to call her sister or aunt.
The word "senior" is obviously more distant and alienating than these titles.
Looking at the serious little desert cat with a straight face, Hua Chu seemed to have a strange hallucination before his eyes.
The figures of a man and a woman seemed to overlap on his body.
"My life and death don't matter. As small as I am, until my death I will be just a grain of sand in the times. If I can make a small wave, I think that would be my honor."
A calm and solemn voice sounded in her ears.
"I can save ten people, a hundred people, a thousand people... but how can I save this world? The people I save are all sinners with blood on their hands. I don't think they can let this happen.
The world has become a better place. But before they make the world worse, what more can I do... to pay off some debts for the lives I saved."
Immediately afterwards, there was a melancholy and gentle voice.
"...That's great."
Hua Chu felt nostalgic and sighed helplessly: "I don't care, if you insist that I stop, I will stop. After all, my research is not bad at this...
"But having said that, I still have to explain.
"I am not actively hunting the devil to corrupt people. I just give people who are eager for 'possibility' a chance, and they voluntarily accepted my inducement."
"What the hell is that?"
Russell asked: "The ability to turn people into demons..."
"That's the spell I have mastered. It's at the intersection of the Path of Change and the Path of Confusion. Counting from the time you left the wasteland, it's about fifty to sixty steps without a detour. It's not particularly far. If
If you are interested, you can come and take a look.”
Huachu did not hesitate at all, and even directly told Russell the area where he obtained this spell.
One step means "crossing an area." Although the road in the dream world will change and flow, the general direction will not change too fast. Her words are like "walk three thousand meters southeast."
...Even if there are only crossroads between southeast, northwest and northwest, I can barely get a rough idea.
"This spell has no school, or it belongs to my school, but I didn't give it a name. The specific effect is to activate or inert other people's specific desires...Roughly speaking, it can increase and suppress two to three levels
The degree of red shift. But it can only be increased to a maximum of eight red shifts, and I cannot break through the Leviathan wall.
"Strictly speaking, it should be regarded as an auxiliary spell. It has a special purpose to release the demons in other people's hearts.
"And I have another spell that can restrict the behavior of others through contracts. This ensures that the demons I created can be recycled and studied by me after completing the 'wishes', so that they will not go crazy and cause chaos."
Hua Touch did not mention where he got his second spell.
She just looked innocent and shrank in her chair: "If they want power, I will give them power. They pay the price of their lives and want to do something... Shouldn't I help them do it?"
?
"Or do you want me to help these strangers I don't even know? I'm not that kind. They asked me for power, and I asked for their abandoned bodies after fulfilling their wishes... I actually found out
I feel from the bottom of my heart that this is fair. Of course, compared with you 'heroes', it seems a bit philistine...but it's better than nothing, isn't it?"
"...But haven't you mastered the technology to communicate with demons?"
"That's right. But the materials I need are psykers who have been transformed into demons. They asked me for help, so I have to collect something, right?"
Huachuchi lazily spread his hands: "You don't want me to be beaten into the reconstruction agency. I don't want to go against the company.
"Don't look at me like that. There are other elves besides the short-lived ones who are asking me like this."
"……What?"
Russell was stunned: "Did you really use other elves as experimental materials?"
"Because the demons transformed from elves are undoubtedly rarer materials. To be precise, this is the only material I need most... You can also kill him and let me extract his soul.
…
"My research is really important because I'm trying to decipher the technology behind the elven transformation ritual."
Hua Chu said as she searched out several documents from her desk.
Russell noticed with sharp eyes that those should be medical records.
"But, I really don't know who the demon you found out is. Because there are actually three demons that have been transformed in the past month."
When Hua Chu said this, her voice couldn't help but become smaller.
But Russell believes that this must not be because she feels guilty.
This is just the pure acting skills of this bad woman that have been immersed in her bones.
If you want to say why, it's because he has learned it.
How to say Sharingan, Sharingan.
"Are you sure they have all turned into demons?"
Russell took the three medical records and confirmed.
"I'm not sure. After all, I won't watch them turn into demons. I will just plant a hint of seeds for them. Otherwise, if they go crazy here, I, a weak little woman, can't stop them.
them……"
Hua Chu had a pitiful expression on her face, and tears suddenly filled her eyes: "I don't know what terrible things will happen to me..."
But soon, she turned into an indifferent expression and said with a smile: "But since they didn't come back to me, they should at least have the power to solve the problem, right?
"By the way, I have already tampered with the contract. They will die suddenly before hatching, so you really don't have to be too afraid... Just check slowly. It's just a matter of whether you can catch them.
"Isn't the moment when a demon is most dangerous when it hatches? I am a professional, and of course I have considered the safety of the experiment. Before that, if there is an 'innocent death', I think it should also be with that person's final death."
It’s related to the last wish. That’s why the devil helps them do these things. From this point of view, does it satisfy the ‘death with love and hate’ that you mentioned before?
"By the way, among these three people, only one was originally a psyker. The remaining two were ordinary people before. Rather than 'awakening demons', it is better to say that they are 'awakening psionic powers', because they all thirst for
Obtain psychic powers. You yourself were once an ordinary person, so you should know how hungry you are for psychic powers sometimes, right?
"Perhaps they suddenly had an epiphany after awakening their spiritual energy, understood the importance of self-sustainability, and became rational overnight, and Blue Shift quickly made up for it? So let me say, it is still possible for these two
Those who haven’t turned into demons... In that case, I’ll be filling in for your special execution department. Shouldn’t you thank me?”
winter.
Russell held the folder with an expressionless face and gave Hua Chu's head a heavy blow.
He realized more and more that Hua Chu and the "Dr. Paradise" from Xiacheng District might have a very interesting topic...
If Dr. Paradise has an extremely weak moral concept, then Hua Chu has a mature moral concept, but it has obviously gone astray.
He squinted his eyes and asked, "Are you sure you are really fine, Senior Huachu?"
"I'm a mage, how could I turn into a demon? If you're worried, I'll just go back with you to do a red and blue shift test..."
Hearing this, Huazhu showed a wry smile as she didn't know what the real ingredients were: "The spirit bodies in my hands are completely broken now. I really need to be prepared, otherwise I will have to be prepared every time before I find a way to cure myself.
If you test your happiness level, you might become a 'suspected devil'..."
"If there is no 'suspected demon report', I will come to see you every month."
Russell put away the medical records, stood up and warned: "You are too dangerous, Senior Huachu. Although the Scientific Ethics Committee has no control over you, I will monitor you carefully not as a 'godfather', but as an 'ultramarine'
's position."
"Danger?"
Hua Chu disagreed: "We generally call it high efficiency. In other words, shouldn't it be you short-growing species who pay attention to efficiency?"
"Goodbye, senior Huachu."
Russell didn't answer her, just responded softly, turned around and left.
After watching him leave, Hua Chu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile like a little fox stealing a chicken:
"Looks like he's angry..."
She had lied before. Although elves love changing souls, apparently cute cats also endear them to them.
Because cats are really fun to play with.
It didn't matter if she gave up on that research, since she had almost got the answer anyway, only the final verification step was left.
But now, she has found something more valuable for research.
No matter it's something hidden in Russell's soul...or it's him himself.
