It would be better to say "I don't dare to die"...
Under Russell's gaze, the inferior said slowly:
"After I inherited a part of his destiny...and had the destiny of the 'Son of Opposition'.
"Because of this fate, I cannot resist 'Father'. And he cannot take the initiative to kill me.
"'Destiny' has determined that there is a relationship between father and son. So we must get along as father and son on the surface... This is not a weak thing like 'consensus', but it has a coercive constraint.
"But I also have my own way of resistance.
"As long as I don't die because of this... As long as I am assassinated, sniped, or poisoned by someone who doesn't know my origin without deliberately seeking death... then I will win.
"And if he doesn't have a reasonable enough excuse, he can't stop me."
The cold words of the inferior made Russell realize the truth of the matter.
...So, the inferior will always be so angry.
But his anger was so empty and pale. He had no idea why he was resisting, nor what he was resisting.
He can't live. He can't die either.
He cannot choose death because of his origin, nor can he die because of his origin. Because that confirms this fate.
He also cannot give birth to children, which represents continuation - he cannot even extend his own life and transform himself to obtain eternal life.
He was seeking a reasonable, involuntary death.
That's why he joined the Special Execution Department.
And his father cannot artificially interfere with the behavior of the inferior. He can only do what a father "should" do, such as protecting his children from being killed by other elves, and he cannot kill the inferior with his own hands.
, or sit back and watch the inferior commit suicide - even if the inferior commits suicide, he can escape the shackles of fate, but before that, he must do his best to protect his heirs.
...Elf is such a twisted life.
For the first time, Russell understood what the "destiny" that the elf kept talking about was.
It is a behavior that is engraved in the logic of behavior and must be followed. Even the bad guys as children inherit part of their "fate".
Because of this hatred, the inferior must live in pain.
His destiny cannot be cut off until he dies due to something or dies naturally due to old age.
——So, he is not afraid of death. He even looks forward to death.
He was just waiting for a reasonable excuse to die that could deceive him.
That's why the mother of the bad guy tries to poison him to end his pain in this life...
This will certainly free the elves from their bondage and gain eternal life.
But for her, this can at least make the inferior no longer suffer. This love is natural and genuine.
"……etc?"
Russell suddenly realized something.
He asked the inferior: "So, what is the name of your mother's spirit?"
"Have you finally realized it?"
The corners of the mouth of the inferior person are slightly raised.
He showed a weak smile that was a little pale and a little joking: "Her spiritual power is called...
"[Lethal Love]. Yes, it has the same psychic power as the Minister."
"Psychic powers...could they be the same?"
Russell was a little surprised.
The inferior person shook his head: "No, it is true that psychic powers with the same name will not appear at the same time. But as long as they are not 'at the same time', it will be fine.
"My mother died on my eighteenth birthday. That was ten years ago.
"The minister's spiritual power was awakened six years ago...she was already sixteen years old when she awakened her spiritual power.
"I know that there is a theory of 'reincarnation' in some spiritual theories. But the spiritual inheritance relationship between the mother and the minister proves the failure of this theory."
"...Ah, I know this."
Russell nodded.
When he was in school, he also heard about the theory of "soul reincarnation", which was only denied in recent years.
The inferior looked at Russell and said with relief: "Don't worry. There's nothing bad to say. Anyway, even if I don't tell you, the minister will find an opportunity to tell you.
"But I actually don't have that many taboos at all. Just thinking about that man makes my head spin... But I don't care about talking about it, you don't have to worry about me."
——That's not the case.
Russell thought.
The more you emphasize that you don't care, the more you actually care in your heart.
Just through this method of repeated persuasion, I try to deceive myself.
Just like the inferior ones had no reaction to the term "hibernation" before.
According to the saying of "hibernation", the bad ones were just like suffering from a secondary disease... they were shouting "Kill you" and "Kill me" every day.
The difference from Chuunibyou is that the inferior ones really live in pain, rather than moaning without illness.
However, there is one place that is the same...
If a person's core has really changed, then when he recalls his dark history, even if he doesn't feel ashamed, he will feel a sense of nostalgia or sadness.
But the bad ones have no reaction to the dark history revealed by "Hibernation".
That shows that he is still in the process of this black history!
Therefore, the inferior person actually has no change at all from the person he was four or five years ago.
Loneliness forced him to take care of himself, and pain made him look much older than he actually was.
And in order to maintain his "anger" instead of "reconciling" and "giving up" as time goes by, he will have no time to grow.
——He is still the same boy.
Compared with Russell, The Inferior looks mature and stable, but he is a reliable senior, the embodiment of justice, and the nemesis of evil.
But he does not have that kind of "justice" in his heart. In terms of mental age, he may be much younger than Russell.
...However, this kind of confusion and emptiness made Russell feel inexplicably nostalgic.
Before he came to this world... he had a friend who also had a personality similar to that of a bad guy.
But unlike the bad guy, that guy acts competently and decisively. Even if he has no desire or motivation in his heart, it will never affect his behavior. He is calm and rational, which is really reliable.
And Russell has been taken care of by him.
But compared with Russell, who has become mature now, the inferior is still much more immature in his heart.
...How should I put it?
Russell's mood was a little complicated.
Although the relationship between good bear brothers is usually that of father and son. But now that there is an extra cub who looks like his good brother, Russell is a little at a loss.
But Russell at least understood one thing, and that was why Delphinium often scolded the inferior, but the inferior did not talk back.
Because although he is the oldest, he is the one with the youngest mental age in the Special Enforcement Department!
As long as you're not harsh, that's a good thing.
At least you don’t have to start arguing with the inferior person by saying, “I was too gentle before, or are you in the rebellious stage?” Although strictly speaking, the inferior person’s rebellious stage has not passed yet, and it may not pass in the future.
.
However, if he can be reasoned with, his distorted personality may not be unbreakable.
Of course, this must first solve the problem with the bad guy's father. At least he must not hold back and help the bad guy.
But there is actually something here.
That is, Russell may not be able to solve the problems that the inferiors worry about...
Although Delphinium may have never thought of this possibility, Russell's core is not a native of this world. He doesn't have that much awe in his heart.
In Russell's view, this infinite loop can actually be easily solved.
——As long as the bad guy secretly kills his father without letting him know. If he knows, he must be informed by fate... But as long as the bad guy doesn't know, as long as he knows
If Russell moves quickly enough, the bad guy will be free.
Since this complex problem can be simplified into "where to go and how many to kill", Russell's idea immediately became clear!
It just so happens that Russell is still preparing to become a four-sided spy.
With the help of the Tower of Babel, Russell might actually be able to do this.
On the other hand, the head of the elf director...maybe also can be used as a good certificate of investment.
Have you ever heard of a prince presenting his head? Do you know what a burst of horns is?
The one who was sacrificed happened to be the enemy in terms of position. He was only Russell's apparent ally, but not Russell's real ally.
This is called a win-win situation - both Russell and the underdog win, and on this basis, Russell can win two more times.
However, this happy event cannot be told to the inferior yet.
Just suffer for a while longer... Senior.
Russell thought.
Wait until someone kills your father, and then I will come back to tell you the good news.
