On the surface, Russell is sitting quietly and obediently in the pizza shop in the form of Alice, while Delphinium is curled up and taking a nap on Alice's lap.
In fact, Russell has another picture in her mind at this moment - sharing everything she sees with Delphinium.
In this way, he personally felt the dexterity of Delphinium's cyber incarnation. It was like watching a holographic image, watching Delphinium escape into the nothingness of pure data from time to time, skillfully leaping and running in the network, controlling everything around it.
's camera.
It's like a virtual hunter who only lives on the Internet.
The pure white wolf spirit ran freely, following the man who looked a little crazy, and followed the various traces left by the man.
While Alice was distracted looking at the illusion in her mind, she nodded to the waiter who brought the food, showing a gentle and polite smile.
She pointed at the delphinium with her eyes, and at the same time put her hand to her lips, making a "shhhhhhhhhhh" gesture.
The young waiter immediately understood what she meant and nodded repeatedly. He quickly covered his mouth with his hand to signal that he would not wake up the delphinium.
The child was obviously still a little worried - after he returned, he immediately caught the other waiters who were laughing and talking, and whispered something. At the same time, he looked at Alice.
...What an overly enthusiastic child.
Alice was a little helpless, but did not correct the other party's misunderstanding.
Instead, he clasped his hands in front of him, closed one eye, and tilted his head in a cute gesture of request.
In fact, Alice just guessed that the other party would ask "Is this lady asleep?", so she simply signaled that Delphinium was asleep.
But I didn't expect the other party's reaction to be so big.
Is it because of his and Delphinium's looks?
Or is he just in a good mood or a good person?
But that doesn't matter. Since the other party has good intentions and wants to help them, Alice will certainly not try to correct the other party's misunderstanding——
With Alice's gentle character, not only would she not explain clearly when the other party misunderstood, but she would simply turn the tables and make generous requests to the other party, in order to cater to and satisfy the other party's good intentions.
You can't let good people have good intentions and then be ruined by doing bad things with good intentions - if it's not troublesome, you might as well cater to them or help them secretly to make this misunderstood "good thing" come true.
In this way, you only pay a small price for cooperating with the other party in a play. But the other party can get positive feedback and get "girl's gratitude" for your kind thoughts and good deeds. In this way,
The other person's mood will also improve.
This is a kind of pure happiness of "self-realization". It is so powerful that it may even reverse a person's psychology and even save a person.
Taking a step back, we can also increase the "sum of happiness" and "sum of good" within this group.
This mode of thinking is completely different from Russell's...it does not care about the truth or justice, but puts itself in everyone's shoes. It is not just about protecting the safety of the other person, but also focusing on protecting the other person's dignity and beliefs.
This gentleness, as delicate as water, light and invisible, is exactly how Alice behaves.
At this moment, in Russell's mind, the core of "Russell's" thinking briefly separated.
Just like a multi-core computing CPU, Russell remained completely calm and objective while thinking.
For the first time, he came into contact with the "truth of the past" from such a close distance.
Those doubts that he had put aside for the time being and kept silently in his heart gradually emerged at this moment.
——First of all, the act of cursing is unnatural.
When Alice first left Happy Island, she was not yet anonymous.
As long as mercenaries are sent over, they can still assassinate her. Someone who can investigate the hidden identity of the psyker and force or request the other party to curse... Such a person can definitely afford mercenaries.
Why do we have to let a weak psyker with two levels of strength try to curse Alice?
This is of no use at all.
Sheath's identity at the time was the bishop of the Cyber Church. Although Russell didn't know if Sheath could do such a thing... But the Cyber Church could bless others and heal wounds through the power of Holy Orders. This weak curse
It should be able to be removed easily.
One piece of evidence is that in Nan Liujing's memory, there was never a scene where Alice was weak or fell ill. She didn't even get sick before the sheath left her.
So naturally, the next question is...why did Sheath leave Alice?
And why did Alice stay quietly on Sogo Island for more than 20 years?
Even if it was to hide her identity, it was too long. For twenty years, the sheath never came back, but Alice never complained to Russell about him...
Moreover, if Sheath had betrayed the Tower of Babel by that time, then Alice's hiding place should have become unsafe.
Why didn't Alice evacuate?
Correspondingly, the third question is - why was the second curse against Alice expanded to four people, and the success rate suddenly increased?
Russell remembered that Alice was not the only person who was cursed to death six months ago.
"Doctor", "Cuckoo", "Lycoris", "Aurora".
Within three months, four official members were cursed and killed one after another. This was the motivation for Bad Sun to try to contact Russell and drag him into the Tower of Babel for protection.
According to him and Lushouxiang, the person who leaked this information was a traitor related to high-level internal personnel.
Bad Sun had a strong suspicion that the "sheath" of the Tower of Babel had been betrayed, but there was no evidence. At the time, Russell believed that this might be a prejudice, an arbitrary judgment mixed with his personal emotions.
But now, after meeting the "monkey-faced eagle", Russell suddenly realized - are the members of the Tower of Babel really so easy to betray the deer-headed statue?
The technology developed by the monkey-faced eagle is no different from that of the deer-headed statue.
The next...and most critical question is.
Who is that "betrayer"? Or, does this traitor really exist?
Thinking back now, Sheath had already left the Tower of Babel twenty years ago.
Twenty years later - can he really still have access to the back door?
In twenty years, has this back door really never been repaired or reset?
Moreover, what exactly is the backdoor of the Tower of Babel? Why is it only known to high-level people?
Today, Russell should be considered a high-level person. Whether it is status, background or ability... his status within the Tower of Babel must be at least at the level of a cadre.
So, what is the difference between Russell and others?
After thinking about the "peripheral members" he had met, Russell knew the answer.
——The only difference between the so-called "high-level members of the Tower of Babel" and ordinary members of the Tower of Babel...
The question lies in whether they have [seen the true form of the deer-headed statue with their own eyes].
