Russell couldn't imagine why a mother would poison her own child to death...and she was still seven or eight years old, seven or eight years after calling her mother.
What Russell couldn't understand even more was that after that——
The bad person claims: "My mother tried to kill me because of her pity. I will not hate her.
"It was also at that time that I understood...the sadder I cry, the happier some people will laugh; if I choose to live happily, they will be happier.
"That's why I want to live. If I don't laugh, I won't cry...I will live with anger."
Russell wanted to continue asking.
But Delphinium held Russell back.
This should be to prevent the inferior from continuing to be angry - she secretly sent a message to Russell, saying that she would wait until the inferior was away before talking to Russell about the matter alone.
Then, she assigned a task to the bad guy, asking him to take Russell to meet the devil.
"The previous application to the board of directors has been approved. You can go in for two hours."
Delphinium ordered: "Remember to keep an eye on Ultramarine and don't let him run away. Then you go to [Peter Pan] and get two original copies of the chip...one is for me to use, and the other is for Ultramarine.
I have already passed on the request to him. Then I will sign [Dongri]’s signature and renew the time.”
After that, the inferior one closed his mouth and speeded up his eating.
After eating quickly, he took Russell on the road.
Russell huddled in the back seat of the float vehicle, flipping through yesterday's news out of boredom.
"...Huh?"
When he saw a certain piece of news, Russell was suddenly stunned.
After carefully reading the news, he lay down on the driver's seat and asked: "The bad guy?"
"explain."
"Have you heard that the angels are coming back?"
"……Angel?"
The inferior turned his head in surprise: "The church's mechanical angel?"
For some reason, just seeing the expression on the face of the inferior, Russell felt a vague sense of excitement in his heart.
"You keep driving and I'll read it to you."
Russell signaled the inferior to look back at the road and drive carefully, and then he read:
“In response to the recent intensification of gang crimes in Xiacheng District, the Pope [Exaltation-12] initiated the ‘Resurrection of Angels’ motion on the 10th of last month, and the Council of Cardinals passed the motion with a ratio of 10:3.
"The awakening process is divided into three stages. In the first stage, forty-nine angels were unfrozen. The unfreezing process has been completed a few days ago. The angels will arrive at each air island before the 21st to assist the head office in jointly handling the problems in Xiacheng District.
"Commentator 'Tantra' claimed that this move will significantly enhance the church's voice in various empty islands, and Theosophy Heavy Industry has considered withdrawing the resolution that 'clergy are not allowed to enter the board of directors.' However, considering the impact on criminal organizations in Xiacheng District
Such large-scale actions may easily cause damage to factories in Xiacheng District, affecting the supply of food and daily necessities, and prices may fluctuate slightly in the near future..."
"...I thought angels were just a legend."
The inferior murmured: "Why do you want to wake up the angel suddenly...
"Is it because the 'Big Seven' have recently gradually tightened the power of the church? Or has the church's influence declined too much?"
He held the hands controlling the ball with slight force.
"I don't know either."
Russell shook his head and sat back.
But he lied.
He knows much more than the inferior——
Before seeing the news, Russell had learned about the unfreezing of the mechanical angels from the deer-headed statue.
The existence of "mage" is strictly kept secret on every sky island. Because once you want to explain the mage, you must explain psychic energy and chips.
This is purely redundant. After all, people have become accustomed to the existence of chips and take them for granted... and regard uncoded people as natural criminals.
This is undoubtedly beneficial to chip assembly.
If people know the true meaning of chips, "anti-chip" organizations will definitely appear. Then there will be trouble.
At present, people only know that "two world wars took place", but they don't know the two sides of the war... and most people don't even know that they once lived on the ground instead of on an empty island.
The information from the Deer Head Statue told Russell one thing...that is, a new mage organization has begun to appear in the Lower City.
The children born between the Uncoded and the Uncoded, the born Uncoded—in these groups, it is possible for a mage to be born.
And these mages are the successors of the mages of the old era.
The purpose of the mages in the old days was very simple, which was to destroy the floating island... and make it fall. As for these "sinful people who have turned their backs on the earth", it is natural that they should also be destroyed together.
Of course, they want to think about it.
Russell believed that these new mages would definitely not follow these crazy old mages - life in the upper city was much better than that in the lower city... and even the living environment in the lower city was far better than above ground.
Those children who grew up in the lower city are much smarter than those mages who are already crazy or semi-crazy.
They may be bad, but they are never stupid. Because the stupid ones are already dead.
Russell can be sure that they must each have their own goals. However, they will definitely not fall out with their "mentors" before achieving their goals.
And this means that they can get more or less support from those crazy mages.
Including the "veil of ignorance"... there are shadows of these new mages behind many criminal organizations in the lower city.
As the old enemy of the mage - after getting the conclusive evidence that "the mage reappeared", the Cyber Church thawed part of the frozen angel army.
This is an attempt.
Although there was a contract a hundred years ago, if the mage appears again, the church has the right to intervene to prevent the mage's revival.
But that was a hundred years ago after all.
People do not remember the religious war, nor the war that nearly destroyed the world. They have little fear of mages and angels, let alone any understanding... In this case, a thousand fully armed angels were all thawed,
Settling in various air islands will inevitably trigger a comprehensive backlash from the public.
These angels are all antiques from the Age of Law.
They don't even know what a "chip" is... They were asleep even before the invention of the chip, so of course they are also a kind of "uncoders".
In order to prevent them from becoming uncoded people who everyone calls for beating, the head office will definitely carry out some kind of treatment, and the church will also gradually slow down the pace of the appearance of angels and let the angels create a better image.
Russell believes that in the near future, the angels will make a grand "appearance" to improve the public's acceptance of angels...
But the head office is definitely not happy.
In the sky age where companies are spread all over, the armed forces of the elves are unprecedentedly weak. After all, the dragon does not allow the Seven Giants to establish armed departments, and the elves are still trying their best to control the number of psykers... But these angels are all the first
An elite veteran of the Second Islamic War.
Although Russell did not have a clear impression of Angel's strength, he made a bold guess - I am afraid that Angel is at the level of a humanoid Gundam, and must be at least as strong as a level six psyker or above in order to have a strong enough impact on the war.
Even if there are only seven people...the existence of angels is a kind of negation of the "execution department".
In the execution department of Happy Island, there are probably less than seven psykers who have surpassed level six and completed their second awakening.
The only ones who can defeat the angels are the elves who survived the religious war.
This is also the reason why the Church does not want to completely thaw the angels.
After all, the top leaders of the church are also elves. Elves will indeed seize power and influence, but that is on the premise of not causing trouble to other elves.
Russell had a premonition——
After the angel reappears, I'm afraid Kongdao's technological armed forces will be greatly improved in a short period of time.
And being armed with technology means that Xiacheng District may also be able to master it.
This means an escalation of violence…
"--arrive."
The cold voice of the inferior interrupted Russell's thinking: "Get ready to get off."
Russell looked up.
It was discovered that they had arrived in a dense forest area far away from the city.
And this "prison" where the devil is imprisoned now looks... like a simpler mountain villa?
In other words, it is a research institute like a villa.
The sign above did not mention the words "criminal" or "devil" for a long time.
I saw it said:
[Tianen Memory Armed Research Institute]
There is also a line of small words below, which reads [Memory Arms Regeneration and Construction Mechanism].
"...Are you sure you didn't go wrong?"
"This is the prison where demons are held, or the Reconstruction Agency for short."
The inferior said flatly: "Follow me, Ultramarine."
