If Russell didn't see through his hint...or if Lin Rongzhen held back and didn't say anything to Russell, and was even lucky enough to successfully complete the task and go back with the ball...he could have completed his research naturally.
As a price, Ringo will also be consumed.
Hearing this, Ringo's body couldn't help but tremble.
Not because of fear, but because of anger.
"How can this be! I trust the professor so much——"
Her voice trembled.
"It's very simple," Russell shrugged, "because in the eyes of the wise men of Sun Island, you can't be considered human beings, you are just obedient people who study materials on your own.
"According to what you said, a doctor from Sun Island can easily bring down a big company or start a bigger company just by thinking about it. So for them, the wisdom in their heads is their capital.
, their power.
"After all, how different is the sacred and glorious sun disk from this gloomy and dark Tartarus?"
"……you're right."
Before Russell finished speaking, Ringo had already calmed down: "In the final analysis, I was just lucky before... I thought I still had a chance to get to the next level... I have never given up on that possibility, but
I was wrong……"
This speed of regaining rationality is already quite good.
Under the long-lost pressure and stimulation, she has begun to master her deeper talents. This is good.
After Ringo finished speaking, he was silent for a moment, and Russell looked at her quietly.
She suddenly raised her head, looked at Russell for a few seconds, and then said without hesitation: "Mr. Ultramarine, please guide me——"
"oh?"
Russell just smiled and asked: "Then what can you give? I have already saved your life by suggesting a way out for you. You still seek more from me... it can't be hope.
Can I show mercy?"
"As long as you don't intend to kill me, or torture me with pain that might drive me crazy, or leave me permanently disabled."
Ringo did not say "I can give everything", but replied very rationally: "Even if it is something that goes against morality and consensus, I can do it for you."
"So……"
Russell asked quietly: "Can you kill someone for me?"
The girl replied without hesitation: "As long as you can prevent my crime from being discovered."
"Not to be discovered..."
Russell patted Ringo's face and laughed happily.
After these few words, he already knew Ringo's bottom line.
She is afraid of being punished, does not want to die, and does not want to be tortured until she becomes disabled or crazy. But other than that, she can endure all shame and sin, and can also hurt others for this reason.
Sure enough, Russell's initial judgment was correct - they were the same kind of people.
Ringo is another Russell who has not met "Alice", his talent is not strong enough, and his nature is not so twisted.
"I do have something to ask you."
The corners of Russell's mouth raised slightly, and his tone became deeper: "How about you first listen to my judgment on Professor Chen?"
At that moment, Lin Yu suddenly trembled.
She felt keenly that the nature of the person in front of her suddenly changed.
It's like a person in a movie who was facing a warm-colored light. When he suddenly lowered his head, the shadow covered the left half of his face. And the other half of the face in the light also changed the facial features due to the different angles of the light.
Deep, unable to see clearly... that's how it feels.
Ringo watched Russell pull out a data cable from the prosthetic hand on his left arm and stuff it into his hand.
"Give me your administrator rights, puppy."
A warm and harmless smile appeared on the corner of Russell's mouth, and his voice became more melodious and relaxed.
But his eyes became cold and dim, making people shudder.
Ringo had only seen this kind of look from the mercenary leaders of Sun Island... It was the look of an outlaw. But any one of them looked so immature, vulgar and ridiculous compared to Ultramarine at this moment.
She hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and inserted it under her left collarbone.
But Russell suddenly stretched out his hand, pressed it on her collarbone, and blocked it.
At that moment, Ringo thought this was just a cliché test about loyalty. But when she looked at Russell's face, she saw majesty and solemnity in Russell's expression.
Not looking at yourself, but looking behind you.
Only then did she hear a faint voice.
She suddenly turned around and looked out the window.
Well-soundproof walls and windows greatly weaken the sound outside the hotel - but on the other hand, if they can still hear it, it means that the sound is already ridiculously loud.
A sound like a thunderstorm.
The sound of cannons is loud——
Russell walked to the position near the window and opened the curtains.
There are four types of drones in Tartarus.
The largest advertisements originally had strips of hard digital screens hanging underneath, floating in the air nearby in a feasting light.
It looks like the Zerg Lord in StarCraft 2, with a prism hanging from the door of a barber shop hanging below.
And the four sides of this prism are advertisements that are always moving.
Now these "lords" came across and were embedded on the hotel wall. Even the advertisements did not stop playing, they were raised high and pointed into the distance - revealing that the end of the prisms were full of 155 mm caliber.
Howitzer barrel.
Originally, these gun barrels were always staring at the ground.
Now, accompanied by the funny laughter of artists, the charming screams of women, or the enthusiastic reading of children, under the background of the blue-purple neon lights, dazzling balls of fire exploded from the muzzle, but they did not shatter.
Those screens only made the picture look dull for a brief moment.
The second largest drone is used to capture people from outside and transport them inside; the third largest drone is used to help deliver documents, transport luggage or light lights.
They now have terrifyingly long barrels pierced from their bellies, surrounding and spreading out in some order, suspended in the air.
——Russell stared at it for a while before reluctantly recognizing that it was a triple-mounted 14.5 mm machine gun and a twin-mounted 12.7 mm machine gun.
The drone swarm focused their lights on a very distant place, and dense barrages poured out like rain.
From time to time, a ball of fire burst out in the distant sky. Every time a ball of fire burst out, the lights gathered in that direction were extinguished. In just a few seconds, only two of the four light gathering points remained.
It was also accompanied by a heavy and extremely long-spaced "bang" sound - this was the source of the sound that suddenly made Russell startled before.
But Russell couldn't even see clearly what it was hitting.
"No. 44?"
Russell asked in a low voice: "What happened outside?"
"I am here."
The cold and respectful voice of No. 44 sounded from the nearby pink crystal decorations without any hesitation: "Please don't worry, there are just some rebels.
"This wave of rebels does not possess any heavy firepower and can be properly handled by our hotel's external security system alone."
"The security system...are you referring to these drones?"
"Yes, this is a civilian armed security drone independently developed by Tartarus. We have sophisticated psychic radar. Even if the thugs remove the chip on the back of their head, they cannot remain silent and approach within fifteen kilometers of Tartarus.
, please be assured.
"We in Tartarus have the most complete security system and have been connected to the internal network of the Tongshen Island Execution Department. If there are special needs, we can also call on the heavy equipment of the head office..."
Having said this, No. 44 paused.
The noisy sound outside the window disappeared in an instant.
As the sound of gunfire stopped, the largest drone reset, and the barrel of the advertising-wrapped gun pointed to the ground again, returning to its usual melodious and slow floating mode, wandering around the hotel as a mobile advertising lamppost.
The other two drones also recovered their weapons that were still smoking, and returned to serving guests around the hotel in silence.
