Russell waited in the office until almost noon when he heard a knock on the door.
He reached out and pointed into the void, using the temporary authority granted to him by Delphinium to open the door.
"Sorry Mr. Ultramarine - we're late!"
The panicked voice of the Paradise Bird came from the door: "I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting!"
"Ah, it's okay."
Russell sat in the delphinium's seat, and his tone was as calm and gentle as the delphinium: "I don't have anything to do today... sit down first, three of you."
This is a lie.
He is unusually busy today. Usually he is not as busy as these two days in a month.
But there is no need to talk to the kid Paradise Bird about this kind of thing... Since Paradise Bird is already late, talking about this kind of thing will only add to the distress and guilt of the little pigeon.
and……
Russell glanced over and knew that Delphinium's jealousy probably stemmed from loneliness.
Because following the Paradise Bird were two men with haloes above their heads.
The bishop was accompanied by two angels, which was not even at the level of "business" - this was probably the standard of the cardinal's order.
Fortunately, those two angels are considered "local angels." They have been getting along with Russell for two months, and their relationship is relatively harmonious, so Russell does not feel any pressure.
One of them has a black aura - that is "ignorance". He has a rare black aura, which is said to be a very rare talent among angels.
From the waist down, there are snake tails and pure black matte long hair. In terms of temperament and appearance, it reminds people of a classical and feminine woman.
He always smiles gently, but because his eyes are scary and his eyesight is extremely low, he always wears glasses and squints.
The other one is a famous lazy dog. His code name is "Horn".
On his head is a light yellow halo that reminds people of "earth".
He was a man with canine roots. His pupils were light brown, just like those of a wolf, and he also had wolf ears and a low-hanging wolf tail.
Russell knew that although the other party's psychic disease appeared to be mild on the outside, it was actually considered moderate - because his pupils were really the same as those of a wolf. Therefore, his vision was much lower than that of ordinary humans.
When he saw Russell, he couldn't help but yawned loudly.
While yawning, he waved to Russell in advance: "Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah... good morning."
"It's already half past eleven, brother."
Russell was speechless for a moment: "What time did you go to bed last night?"
"Didn't sleep."
Horn rubbed his eyes and said in a sleepy voice: "I'll finish my work and go back to catch up on some sleep."
"...What big thing could keep you up all night?"
Russell's expression suddenly became serious: "I remember you are a guardian angel?"
"It's the variety show "Quick, Quick, Quick Escape", which is pretty good."
The big white wolf sat down on the sofa and said lazily: "I watched the third season from the first season last night, and I didn't sleep all night. Let me tell you, it's really good."
After that, the Paradise Bird sat down next to him in a very reserved manner, while Wu Ming sat on the other side by himself.
"The one where eight people are found in each issue to escape from different agency secret rooms within a limited time?"
Russell reacted immediately after hearing the description of the horn: "Then you are quite lucky. The fourth season is not good, I suggest skipping to the fifth season. I don't think the new mechanism added in the fourth season will work...
There was a mole from the organizer in the team to interfere with the escape, etc. It was quite novel the first time, but later I found that the routines were actually the same, and it would only make people bored after seeing it too much. Fortunately, the audience voted with their feet.
, the support for removing this mechanism was as high as 86%, so the fifth season was directly canceled.”
Instead, Horn was stunned for a moment: "Hey, you actually know?"
"Well, that variety show is under the control of the emperor. He even invited me to participate."
"Aren't you going? I remember that the bonus is a floating car. Don't you still have a car?"
"I don't want a car. If I buy a car and learn to drive, I might be arrested and become a driver."
Russell confidently poured himself a glass of iced Coke: "Mao Mao, I just need to huddle in the back seat and play games... If I really want to go out, there are plenty of people to give me a ride."
The horn was suddenly startled: "It makes sense! It seems to be true. Whoever learns to drive among a group of people has to drive..."
"Right?"
"But you said it's too late, I've already finished studying..."
"Then next time you go out, you can drive."
After Russell finished chatting with Lazy Gou, he greeted Wuming familiarly: "By the way, Wuming... have you bought your prosthetic eyes? If you do, remember to ask me to help you install them. The technology is not reliable either.
Charge - I installed Delphinium's new prosthetic body for her. After all, the eyes are not like arms or legs, and the technical difficulty of perfect nerve connection is still quite high... Don't be embarrassed to trouble me.
I’ll tickle you then.”
"Don't be in a hurry, just save money slowly."
Wuming said slowly: "I will definitely come to you after I have saved enough. I have already thought about the gift I will give you then."
He always has a special temperament, like the natural cool breeze blowing in the summer, which can calm people's anxious mood: "But there are some extra flowers recently, so I may have to slow down."
"...Hey, what did you buy?"
Can ignorance with such low desires still have big flowers?
"He donated all the reward money he received from the company after wiping out the gangs in Xiacheng District."
The horn said lazily, grinned in front of Russell's gaze, made a thumbs up gesture with his right hand, and said in a weird voice: "We have all donated, so we are penniless!"
"Ah, as expected of you."
Russell smiled helplessly: "I almost guessed half of it."
According to the moral standards of angels, they indeed cannot accept "money in exchange for human heads".
Even if the person killed is a villain, murderer or mage.
But at the time, Russell thought they would reject it or give the money to the church... but ended up donating it directly?
"Who have they donated to?"
"It's different. I donated it to an elementary school, and Wuming donated it to a nursing home..."
Horn waved his hand: "As for the prosthetic eyes, slowly save money. We have all found jobs now."
"……Work?"
Russell was stunned for a moment: "Are you planning to stay on Happy Island?"
"This is what we have to say to you, Bishop!"
As he said that, the horn slapped the paradise bird next to him on the back hard, making a crisp snapping sound.
"Don't use so much force, horn."
"Be gentle, brother, don't break the child."
Wu Ming and Russell complained at the same time.
"Sorry sorry..."
After the horn shot, I immediately felt something was wrong. I lowered my crossed legs and drooped my ears: "Bishop...does it hurt if I slap you?"
"No, it's okay..."
Although Paradise Bird felt burning pain in her back, and even a little swollen, she still showed a relaxed smile to comfort the horn: "It's okay."
Immediately, she looked at Russell.
After their eyes met, she nodded slightly and said seriously and slowly: "That's it, Mr. Ultramarine..."
"The church has heard about the 'Godfather' appearing in Lower City. They think this is a new unstable factor and require angels to stay here to wipe out and eradicate the Godfather and his affiliated forces... For this reason
The church is willing to give us higher authority and achieve in-depth cooperation with the company..."
Paradise Bird knows that "Ultramarine" is the "godfather".
But she clearly didn't cheat on Russell.
Even though the angels around her are all friends of Russell, she is still trying to inform Russell in a way that does not attract their attention.
Translated, what she said means that the church believes that the so-called "godfathers" and "family" still belong to the mages.
The victory in the annihilation in Xiacheng District came too easily, and they doubted how much water there was in it. At this time, the godfather who appeared seamlessly attracted their attention.
Through investigation or other methods, they determined that the godfather was also a mage. So they planned to transfer part of their interests and stationed on Happy Island for a long time.
"Because the combination of The Godfather and Uptown is obviously much deeper than the previous model."
Wu Ming explained warmly: "According to the church's investigation, the Godfather is a devil who is very good at bewitching people's hearts. Many people who are not Uncoded people, and may even include upper-class people and powerful people, may be bewitched by him and secretly do things for him.
Used by the Godfather. To be honest, with just us people, it would be very difficult not to mention uprooting this organization, even to suppress its development...
"But Tongshen Island, Holy Blood Island, and Sun Island all have different situations one by one. The church is unable to continue to send people to our side..."
"Actually, they are just afraid of us angels. We are worried that we will take away the power of those old men."
The horn raised his legs again, trembling while sneering, and said bluntly: "So they are still unwilling to unfreeze more angels even though they are already in this kind of trouble.
"Ah, how can I put it... Even though it has been frozen for more than a hundred years, the church is still the same as it was a hundred years ago.
"If it weren't for the Pope to guide us, I guess the angels on other islands would also want to give up. Tsk, are they worthy of commanding us?"
"that is--"
Worried that the trumpet would say more arrogant words, Paradise Bird interrupted him and looked at Russell: "The church asked me to bring two angels to join the special execution department. It said that it had already been discussed with Tianen Group, and it was used for
Replenish personnel shortages in the Special Operations Department.
"I also brought an order from the board of directors... It said that the bad guy was demoted to an ordinary employee of the Special Execution Department and granted a long leave. You were promoted to deputy minister... The specific transfer order may come in the afternoon.
, maybe it will arrive tomorrow.
"Would you like to order some takeout and wait here for Minister Delphinium to come back?"
Speaking of this, she and Russell looked at each other deeply.
They just looked at each other, but Russell, who had completed the synchronization once before, easily understood the meaning of the bird of paradise.
——She had something to say to herself alone and wanted to avoid these two angels.
