Chapter 21: The Delphinium
If Russell only had two picture frames in his illusion at that time that he could see clearly, it was because his current psionic level, that is, the redshift value, was two.
Does he fill in the second frame, and then the third one will be unlocked?
It was indeed very ceremonial and had a sense of completing the "task......
After all, he saw it clearly at the time. In addition to those two, there is also a circle of photo frames around.
It's just that they're all hidden in the dark, like prestige items that have not yet been unlocked in the game.
But in this way, Russell is even more sure that the "photos" in this frame are definitely not randomly selected.
Before initially absorbing his mother's chip, he had a very strong thirst. It's like the feeling when you look at the water after you haven't drunk water for a long, long time...... The chip didn't even touch Russell's body, and was sucked into his body by the air.
After that, Russell had already come into contact with the chips of the mercenaries he had killed, but he didn't feel that hunger at all. You can't even absorb them into your body.
There must be some kind of rule for being absorbed by the "photo frame", and then being transformed by Russell and copying the target's psionic energy. It's just that Russell didn't know what the specific rules were before the "migration" occurred.
But......
Russell was stunned for a moment, and then realized something.
Is it a delusion?
…… The inferior person's attitude towards him suddenly and inexplicably better?
That cold and distant attitude suddenly became ...... At least it's not that cold?
"Let me introduce you," the uncle looked at Russell's gaze no longer confused, and introduced Russell with a smile, "This is the inferior, your colleague."
"He is also a member of the Special Executives, the highest level of psionic executives. The current Deputy Director of the Executive Department is a senior you can fully trust.
"Let's go meet the delphinium first. After that, take Russell to register, please. ”
The second half of Uncle Orange Cat's sentence was naturally said to the inferior. The inferior also nodded silently, and immediately responded.
Totally trustworthy –
Russell looked at the inferior in some surprise.
Although they got along for a short time, Russell also saw that this uncle, who seemed to be a good man, was obviously not a stupid person, but a good person. And he said this in front of Russell and the inferior...... Russell also knows what that means.
Does my uncle have such a high opinion of the inferior?
"I guess you want to ask, so I'll say it ahead of time."
Walking on the road, the inferior turned his head slightly, looked at Russell and replied softly: "When my spiritual energy is awakened, it is a fourth-level red shift and a sixth-level blue shift...... And now the transfer has been completed. ”
…… A sixth-level psyker.
Russell nodded.
But he didn't really know what that concept meant.
However, as soon as you awaken, the psionic energy directly has a fourth-level strength - and reason is strong enough to restrain the fourth-level psionic energy so that it won't instantly get out of control and become a demon, which is really remarkable.
Russell didn't really know what his desires were, but he knew his rationality. If one's reason does its best to restrain one's spiritual energy, it is the fourth-level intensity...... Then the inferior is indeed much better than him.
Not to mention, at the age of about 30, he was able to serve as the deputy director of the executive department of the Tianen Group Corporation, one of the Big Seven, as a violent organization. And it was also recognized by his uncle who was a director.
The strength of the inferior is unquestionable.
Then it was reasonable for him to look at himself unpleasantly at first.
After all, the inferior is based on real skills. So it's too reasonable to see that he, a "weak person" who has become a hero by relying on public opinion, will soon become a higher position than him by walking through the back door.
Russell felt completely understandable and couldn't agree more!
In fact, he walked through the back door himself with trepidation.
It's like in his previous life, when he cheated on an exam for the first time in his life...... His fingers trembled violently, as if he had Parkinson's. He could hear his own heartbeat clearly, his neck froze completely, and his breathing stagnant.
That kind of ugly and lame acting, I'm afraid the invigilator has already seen through it.
What's more, the invigilator is still his most respected class teacher.
But at that time, the teacher just glanced at him and sighed, and did not come up to dismantle him.
At that time, Russell had a feeling that the whole world was moving away from him, and he felt a very strong and overwhelming sense of guilt and self-loathing.
Since then, Russell has never copied his homework or cheated once.
In this life, he was admitted to Sogo University with his own hard work and hard work, and obtained a double degree master's degree.
He thinks his head isn't that good...... His roommate in his previous life, who was also his most trusted senior, was much smarter than Russell. He can do this because he doesn't like to "make a fool of himself" and everything is done by keeping his feet on the ground.
This time, he came to the back door on his mother's orders, and Russell was actually very weak in his heart. He's very afraid that someone will stand up and point at him and yell "you backdoor shit", or that his colleagues will be respectful and deferential to him, but in fact they will be distant and ridiculed......
Now that the back door failed because of the awakening of spiritual energy, Russell was relieved.
- Great.
It doesn't matter if he works with his head in the Special Operations Department, he is ready to face the danger head-on. Even if he is faced with the shotgun of the gangster on the airship again, it is better than facing those false respectful smiles - at least in this way, the respect he gets will be down-to-earth, step by step by work and dedication.
At least it's much better than the one on Bad Day who put himself in the position of hero!
Bad day, it's so bad!
Russell sighed, with extremely mixed feelings.
On the one hand, he wants to complain about the bad day, which gives him this sense of instability, but on the other hand, he is not a person who does not repay his kindness.
Objectively speaking, the name of "hero" is indeed a good thing. Bad Day gave him this opportunity to be famous, which is a real kindness, and he did benefit from it.
If Russell doesn't thank people and complain about him, it will be too inhuman.
But Mr. Inferior - if he had been in that situation, he would have done better than himself.
It's not that he doesn't have the ability to be a hero, he just lacks that crucial opportunity.
But thinking of this at this moment, another doubt came to Russell's heart.
So why...... Such an excellent inferior, but the code name he gave himself was called "inferior"?
Soon, they were in that room.
You don't even have to go upstairs...... Just walked around the grand staircase from the right side of the first floor to the left and knocked on the door of the [Special Enforcement Department] room numbered B-002.
"Minister."
The serious voice of the inferior sounded: "I'll bring a newcomer to report." ”
A girl's sigh was heard inside.
"Come in......"
The door, which had been locked, suddenly opened on its own.
There was only one person in the room.
It was a young girl lying in a chair with her hands in front of her abdomen in an almost "serene" position.
She has long, pure white hair, soft dog ears that resemble those of a fox, and wears a uniform with a blue cape that resembles a slagmer.
But her uniform was clearly individually tailored, and the fabric was much less than normal.
At the moment, she was slumped back in her office chair, squinting her light blue eyes. Her long, soft white hair was a little fluffy from sleepiness, and it was so lazy that it made people wonder if she had slept over.
It is almost diametrically opposed to the inferior who always stands upright, serious and indifferent.
She chuckled and pulled her somewhat messy hair back.
Get up from your chair.
At that moment, her temperament changed - from that lazy feeling, to tolerant and calm.
Although his height is about the same as Russell's, and his face is even more immature than Russell's, it gives Russell a sense of maturity like a mother, teacher, and senior sister.
"Hello, Russell. I've heard your name. ”
Different from the appearance that seemed a little out of tune, the fox-eared girl looked at Russell and said in a gentle and calm voice: "Please find a place to sit, you don't have to stand all the time." Also, to introduce myself, my code name is Delphinium...... He is 22 years old and the head of the Executive Department. Just call me Delphinium, and don't learn from that guy at all.
"Ah, by the way, the delphinium is not a bird, but a flower."
Her words didn't make much sense.
Because of her light blue pupils, Russell really thought of delphinium for the first time.
Russell could only nod slightly.
And the delphinium came over and generously reached out and shook Russell's hand.
The girl, who was four years younger than Russell but was already the head of the executive department, made a soft but inexplicable reassuring voice:
"Finally...... Welcome to the Special Operations Department, Kitten. ”
