"As long as you can fall asleep in the posture after transformation, you can enter the 'primary wasteland'. And the appearance is naturally the form after your transformation - the form when you enter the wasteland is the way you looked before falling asleep, even the makeup
, clothes and weapons can be brought in."
Bad Sun said slowly: "In other words, each of your incarnations... is an identity that can walk in the 'primary wasteland'."
"……sounds good."
Russell's tail swayed from side to side, and his eyes slowly lit up.
He was a little moved.
"Not only that," Bad Ri continued with a smile, "The information and spells learned as a 'mage' are also obviously beneficial to your work in the Special Execution Department.
"The Deer Head Statue and I, as well as other operators in the Tower of Babel, can secretly assist you in various tasks. You can leave any inconvenient tasks to us; you can also ask us to kill the people you want to kill.
I'm here to kill..."
But after hearing this, Russell became vigilant.
He frowned: "Why are you moving around me?"
"You are our core operator."
Bad Day jumped down from the pipe, patted Russell on the shoulder, and said cheerfully without any concealment: "If you help you, you are helping us."
"So, what do I need to do?"
"It's very simple. I think you should also know that we are an organization that investigates the truth of history... Your task is naturally to get close to the higher-ups of the mage and find a way to gain access to the mage's secret history."
"What kind of history requires so much effort..."
Russell frowned.
Bad Sun shook his head: "A lot. Or rather, too many... because the mages have a completely closed, internal historical inheritance, just like the Cyber Church also has an internal 'teaching history'. Because it is completely in paper form.
It was inherited internally, so the dragon turned a blind eye to it.
"Your father was sent to the Cyber Church before and was responsible for stealing the church history. He has already reached the position of archbishop, and has continuously provided us with secrets from the past. Some of what we are telling you now are
Your father found it.
"But for some reason, when you were three years old, he suddenly burned three volumes of the ecclesiastical history that were already unique, and defected to Thoth Psychic. After that, he suddenly disappeared without a trace, and there was no deer head statue.
Found him... he looked like he was dead.
"The history that the church has, the mages may also have. Because the mages have gone crazy and can't communicate, they become orphans... But the deer-headed statue thinks that it may be possible to compare the history of the mages with the history of the mages.
The three volumes of Christian history that he destroyed have the same contents - and find out the reasons why he destroyed these three volumes of history and defected from the Tower of Babel and the church.
"Of course... you also have to be careful. Death in the sea of group subconscious means death in reality. Just like a psychic hacker 'killing' in the matrix."
The "kill" mentioned behind Bad Day refers to cleaning it up with anti-virus software.
Russell thought for a moment, crossed his arms over his chest, and tapped the prosthesis on his left arm with the index, middle, and ring fingers of his right hand.
The bad day and the deer-headed statue patiently waited for Russell to think.
After a long time, Russell nodded slowly: "I know...I will do it."
There is no doubt that this is quite dangerous work.
But Russell took it without hesitation.
On the one hand, Russell is indeed very curious about these hidden histories... Why on earth would the dragon prohibit humans from accessing history?
There are many people among the elves who have survived those banned histories.
However, the new elves still have no access to history - even the older elves will not tell them these secrets.
On the other hand, Russell wanted to know... what kind of truth could make that man choose to abandon his wife and children, betray the organization and mission, and remain anonymous for more than twenty years.
Without even thinking about it, Russell knew that his mother came to Sogo Island to live alone, rather than living in an area completely controlled by the deer-headed statue. Part of the reason must be to avoid suspicion.
After all, her husband betrayed the organization, so even if other colleagues trusted her, there would always be a thorn in their hearts.
And Alice is a very strong person.
She chose not to cause trouble to her colleagues - and therefore cut off most of her contacts with the outside world and no longer had access to secrets. In this way, even if she defected, she would not cause too much loss.
Russell was really curious.
——What is the reason that would make that guy make such a choice?
When Russell came back to his senses, he suddenly realized something:
As an agent of the Tianen Group's special execution department, he undoubtedly belongs to the power of the "corporate dog";
At the same time, he is a member of the Tower of Babel and is the most wanted criminal - not even for offending the elves, but for violating the dragon's law;
He can also become a mage and act as a tentacle for the mage to intervene on the floating island. In the process, he will definitely get to know the leader of the mage association in the lower city and gradually become a high-level member of the underground gang;
If nothing else, Russell's "old-era moral values" can also allow him to obtain a certain degree of power of holy orders... and he may even be able to join the church.
…I don’t know since when, Russell has become an upright spy on all sides.
Even among these four forces, it is possible to become the main force!
So...if one day, I have to choose a side.
How can I stand in line?
While thinking this way, Russell couldn't help but think of what he had experienced in recent months - things he had not forgotten:
When my mother was about to die of illness, she searched all over Sogo Island and found almost no help;
The elf professor helps him and gets close to him, but he just wants to keep him as a pet at home;
The mercenaries were paid to attack the airships... and the conspirators behind those mercenaries used the lives of hundreds of people as pawns to lure them into action;
"Mr. Bumping" who sold himself for fun at the entrance of the Beehive Nightclub and was beaten unscrupulously;
Xiao Liuli was kidnapped and threatened by the "veil of ignorance", underwent intense prosthetic transformation and became an idol, and was infiltrated as an undercover agent in Tian'en Daily...
Let's look at what he can choose: the "Head Office" who hopes to maintain the status quo, the devil who will cause the death of a large number of innocent people just by existing, the "uncensored" mercenaries who act recklessly and kill for profit, and prohibit the exploration of history, the development of aerospace, etc.
The dragon who made a series of prohibitions, the Tower of Babel who hoped to get the historical truth and disrupted the world for it, the angel who hoped to transform the new world according to the laws of the old era, the Cyber Church who didn't know what he was thinking behind the angels, and most importantly
Simply - the mage who hopes to cause the floating island to fall and be destroyed...
...How else can he take sides?
Russell felt an inexplicable powerlessness.
This world is filled with all kinds of evil.
No rules, no order, no morality.
No one treats anyone else as the same kind... Treat others as "objects", measure "value", and arbitrarily determine "meaning".
Neither direction is complete.
Every camp has problems.
Russell can only choose "the first to exclude", but cannot confirm the "last choice".
Demons, mercenaries, mages—exclude these three categories first.
As for who he will follow in the future...
...Or, whether to create a force of his own. That will have to wait for him to observe for a while.
His current status will provide an unprecedented opportunity.
A possibility to personally participate and experience from a "first perspective".
If, weak and ordinary, he can really do something...
"...But," Russell calmed down and asked a question, "I have to have a direction. I don't know other religious histories at all, so how can I judge whether the truth I found corresponds to the content of these three volumes of religious history?"
【Very simple】
The deer head statue gave the final answer.
[The content of these three volumes of religious history is the most critical "truth" and the deepest secret hidden by the church. Even the church itself does not know that they have such a secret]
[This is also the first record of the "truth" that I asked him to find in the Cyber Church]
[Among these three volumes of religious history, one is about "history before 2000" and one is about "the formation of spiritual relatives"...]
[...and, a volume on "The Secret of the Dragon's Immortality"]
