Accompanied by weak vibrations and dizziness, the airship gradually moved away from the ground.
The snow-capped mountains and wilderness bathed in the sun, as well as the steel city that gives people a sense of cleanliness and elegance, seem to shine with holy light under the sunlight at noon, giving people a refreshing feeling just looking at it.
The densely packed high-rise factories in Xiacheng District are like countless sharp thorns stuck in the shadow of this empty island.
Even though it's "daytime", they still have their lights on.
Lights of different colors appear in the high-rise factories that are placed upside down at the bottom of the floating city. When you zoom out from a distance, it looks like a group of monsters crouching above the factories and crawling in the shadows.
Pupils. Just looking at them will give people a strong sense of uneasiness.
But Russell knew that the residents of downtown never cared about day and night.
As long as they live in the lower city, it will always be night - a day when the sun cannot be seen is still the darkest night.
Russell looked at the Island of Happiness that was gradually receding outside the cabin, holding his chin with his right hand.
He couldn't help but sigh.
After half a year, he boarded the first class cabin of the airship again.
If placed in an animation, this would be like the end of the first season or the beginning of the second season, forming a wonderful contrast with the first scene. Just like the "Duel of Repayment", when the classic BGM of the past sounds, it will
There is a power called "feeling" that can make people cry.
Because everything seems to be the same as it was half a year ago, and it seems that it has not changed at the same time——
...even the bad day sitting in front of him was reproduced perfectly.
"Why are you following me?"
Russell said angrily: "It's rare that I want to truly enjoy the first-class treatment of an airship."
"Your girlfriend asked me to come."
Bad Riyong sat in front of Russell in a symmetrical posture, dragging his chin with his left hand as if looking in a mirror, and said lazily: "Anyway, if I have more mouth, I won't be able to eat up your food."
There is no doubt that he opened the door out of thin air and got in again this time.
Russell felt a little helpless: "I always feel that seeing you is not very auspicious..."
So far it can be said to be a perfect replica of half a year ago, but Russell sincerely hopes that it will stop here.
At least, I hope nothing happens to the airship again this time...
After leaving Director Amirus, Russell called Delphinium.
He had to make it clear to Delphinium that he would not be going home tonight. Otherwise, she might be anxious or panic when she saw that he had not returned for a long time.
It's like opening the door and letting your cat go out to play by itself. Usually the cat will come back on time to eat before dinner, but one day it suddenly doesn't come back in the middle of the night, and you will worry about whether something happened to the cat.
Because the phone call might be "tapping" by colleagues in the Cyber Security Department in the cyber world, Russell and Delphinium did not say anything inappropriate for others to know. They just said that Director Amilus had something urgent to ask of him.
I'm on a business trip. I roughly estimate that I won't be able to return home for about a week.
Delphinium didn't say any nonsense about "Don't be a hero", "Preserve your life first", "Prioritize taking care of yourself".
She knew that if Russell really encountered a strong enemy that had to be dealt with desperately, and saw the person he had to save in front of him, he would definitely rush forward without thinking.
Because Russell is that kind of person.
In other words...it was precisely because of this that she began to like Russell.
All the changes came from Russell's first day on the job.
The cat-eared boy who stood alone in the crowd like a shadow, as childish as a boy, on his first day at the Special Enforcement Department, was willing to risk his life to dismantle the traps left by the prisoners for the sake of strangers. .
At that time, there was actually a unique solution.
That is to completely ignore the problems left by the Veil of Ignorance and go back to evacuate all the guests... Although it may cause a stampede, the "child" wearing the iron mask will probably be the only one who is killed in the end.
Rationally speaking, this is the best and most correct way to deal with it.
But Russell did not investigate at all, and did not know who the prisoner was or what he had done... He was not even sure whether the prisoner would inject a virus into the mask, or deliberately leave dead questions without answers. He hesitated and moved his hands.
——Coincidentally, if Delphinium was here instead of Russell, she would definitely do the same.
That is the radiant self-confidence, the courage to stand up despite being deeply aware of the extent of the danger... coupled with the sense of responsibility that would put oneself in a dangerous place even just to save one person.
They are the same kind of people. It is as if they are another me in the world.
It was also from that time that Delphinium began to pay attention to this new hero who she once thought was a "trouble".
So Delphinium can understand every decision Russell makes.
She also believed that Russell would never need her advice.
Everything she could think of, Russell would definitely think of; what she was afraid of, even if she tried to persuade him, it would be useless.
So Delphinium just said: "If you can come back safely, I will give you a gift."
But she turned around and contacted Bad Ri, asking her real uncle to help protect Russell who was going on a long trip.
He was alone and wanted to go to Tongshen Island... How could this be possible?
In Happy Island, there is basically no one who does not know Russell. No matter where he goes, he can meet acquaintances who know him. Because of this, Russell will not worry wherever he wanders around Delphinium, because someone will always see him. , there will always be someone who will know where he went...and she will always be able to find Russell.
You don’t even need to deliberately investigate. No matter where Russell goes, he will be discovered by netizens immediately. You can find out where your cat has gone by just browsing the major forums.
——But that is Tongshen Island.
After Delphinium joined the Tower of Babel, she also learned a little about the past history. Because of this, she also learned about the "Panbai Incident" that happened on Tongshen Island.
To this day, there are still many people on Tongshen Island who are still bitter about the fact that when they faced a crisis, other islands did not lend a helping hand.
Although other islands have no obligation to help them legally and morally, they still cannot accept it emotionally.
If people on other Sky Islands can no longer survive, they will often choose to go to other Sky Islands. This is also the only way to spread news among Sky Islands where there is no Internet and no private transactions.
Those who want better medical conditions but are worried about losing their jobs will go to Holy Blood Island, where there will never be a shortage of well-paid drug testers; those who want to see natural landscapes, real animals, and keep real pets will go to Taoyuan Island; if you want to work or have fun, you can come to Happy Island...
But only the residents of Tongshen Island, no matter how hard their lives are, would rather starve to death than move to other empty islands.
This is not because they have a sufficient sense of identity and belonging to Tongshen Island, but because they have a stronger sense of xenophobia. Even if they just hear the accent of the foreign island, they may even be discriminated against on Tongshen Island.
——It’s the kind of situation where even if a taxi driver or tour guide tries to trick you, you can’t find anyone to help you. Because of this, Tongshen Island has the fewest foreign tourists among the seven empty islands.
If among the seven empty islands, which one is the most dangerous to Russell, it is undoubtedly Tongshen Island.
In Tongshen Island, it is not a big deal for heroes from other Sky Islands to suddenly disappear here... Tongshen Island is different from Happy Island. Their entertainment industry is not developed, and their idols do not have such a high status.
To them, the various "heroes" promoted by the directors of the head office are simply "agents" used by those directors to kill people and do some dirty work.
Instead, they harbor an attitude mixed with malice, contempt and jealousy towards the so-called "heroes".
For them, only dead heroes are good heroes. Those "heroes" recognized by the board of directors can all be regarded as thugs of the Sanos Heavy Industry.
Delphinium had to worry about Russell's safety.
He is not only a foreigner, but also a "hero" and an idol. He is even a rich star who can make money just by sitting.
He is nominally here to help Shenzhen Heavy Industry with its dirty work, and he is eloquent - in the minds of the people of Tongshen Island, he is especially a trait of a liar and a braggart.
This can be said to be a taboo in multiple senses.
Delphinium even wondered if Amirus planned to drag Russell to Tongshen Island and kill him...
In fact, she is not the only one, Bad Day is also worried like this.
His understanding of Tongshen Island is a little deeper than Russell and Delphinium...
...After all, Bad Sun really did kill an elf director of Sanoshin Heavy Industry with his own hands. That was the first elf director he killed, and it was also the reason why he became a wanted criminal.
