"As long as you are able to fall asleep in the posture you have transformed, you will be able to enter the 'First Wasteland'. And the form, of course, is the form you will be after you transform - the form you will be when you enter the wasteland, the way you will be before you fall asleep, and even makeup, clothing, and weapons can be brought in. ”

Bad Day said slowly: "That is, every incarnation of you...... All of them are identities that can walk in the 'First 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 Day continued to smile and add, "the information and spells you have learned as a 'mage' will obviously benefit your work in the Special Enforcement Department.

"I, along with the deer head and the other agents of the Tower of Babel, can secretly assist you in all your work. Your inconvenient work can be entrusted to us; If you want to kill someone, you can ask me to kill you......"

But hearing this, Russell became vigilant.

He frowned: "Why do you want to act around me?" ”

"You're our core operator."

Bad Day jumped down from the pipe, patted Russell on the shoulder, and said unabashedly: "To help you is to help us." ”

"So, what do I need to do?"

"It's 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 upper echelons of the mage and find a way to get in touch with the mage's secret history. ”

"What is the history that needs to be so much trouble......"

Russell's brow furrowed.

Bad Day shook his head: "A lot." It's too much...... Because the mages have a completely closed, internal history, just as the cyber church has an internal 'history'. Because it is passed down entirely internally in paper form, the dragon also turns a blind eye to it.

"Your father was the one who was sent to the Cyber Church and was responsible for stealing the history of the Church. He has achieved the position of archbishop, and the intermediary continues to provide us with secrets from the past, some of which we are telling you now, some of which your father found.

"But for some reason, when you were three years old, he suddenly burned three volumes of the history of the religion and defected to Thoth. After that, he suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the deer head did not find him...... It was as if he was dead.

"The history of the Church is probably shared by the mages. Because the mages are crazy and can't communicate, that's why they're alone...... But the deer head thought that perhaps he could find the same content from the history of the mage as the three destroyed histories—and find out why he destroyed them and defected to the Tower of Babel and the Church.

"Of course...... You also have to be careful. If you die in the sea of the subconscious of the group, you will also die in reality. It's like a psionic hacker being 'killed' in the Matrix. ”

The "killing" after the bad day refers to cleaning it up with antivirus software.

Russell pondered for a moment, clasping his hands on his chest, and tapping the middle and middle fingers of his right hand on the prosthetic leg of his left arm.

And Bad Sun and the Deer Head statue waited patiently for Russell to think.

After a long time, Russell nodded slowly: "I see...... I do. ”

This is undoubtedly dangerous work.

But Russell took it without hesitation.

On the one hand, Russell was indeed very curious about these hidden histories...... Why did the dragon forbid humans from contacting history?

There are many elves among them who have survived the forbidden history.

However, the new elves still have no access to history - even the older elves will not tell them these secrets.

On the other hand, it was Russell who wanted to know...... What kind of truth can make that man choose to abandon his wife and children, betray the organization and mission, and remain incognito for more than 20 years.

Russell didn't have to think about it to know that his mother came to live alone on Sogo Island, instead of living in an area completely controlled by the deer head, and there must have been part of the reason to avoid suspicion.

After all, her husband betrayed the organization, so even if other colleagues trust her, there will always be a nail in their hearts.

And Alice is a very strong person.

She chose not to cause trouble for her colleagues - and as a result, cut off most of her contact with the outside world, and no longer had access to secrets. In this way, even if she defects, it will not bring much loss.

Russell was really curious.

- What was the reason for that guy to make this choice?

And when he came back to his senses, Russell suddenly realized one thing:

As the agent of the special execution department of Tianen Group, he undoubtedly belongs to the force of the "company dog";

At the same time, he was a member of the Tower of Babel, the most wanted of all—not even an offense to the elves, but a violation of the dragon's laws;

He can also become a mage, as a tentacle for mages to interfere with the floating island, and in the process, he will also definitely know the leader of the mage association in the lower city, and gradually become the top of the underground gang;

If nothing else, Russell's possession of the "morality of the old times" also allowed him to gain a certain degree of holy rank power...... He might even be able to join the church.

…… I don't know when Russell became an upright four-sided agent.

Even among these four forces, it is possible to become the main force!

So...... If one day, you have to choose a side.

How do you stand in line?

As he thought about it, Russell couldn't help but think of what he had experienced in recent months—things he hadn't forgotten:

When my mother was about to die, she searched the whole island of Sogo with little help;

The elf professor helps and closes to himself, but he just wants to keep himself as a pet in the house;

The mercenaries received the money and were going to attack the airship...... There are also the conspirators behind those mercenaries, using the lives of hundreds of people as pawns to lure themselves into action;

At the door of the Hive nightclub, "Mr. Jump" who sells himself for fun and is beaten unscrupulously;

Kidnapped and threatened by the "curtain of ignorance", underwent high-intensity prosthetic transformation and became an idol, and broke into the undercover Xiao Liuli in the Tianen Daily......

Let's take a look at what he can choose: the "head office" that wants to maintain the status quo, the demon that will kill a large number of innocent people just by existing, the "uncensored" mercenary who acts recklessly and kills people for profit, the dragon who formulates a series of prohibitions such as the exploration of history and the development of spaceflight, the Tower of Babel who wants to get the truth of history and does not hesitate to disturb the world for this, the angel who hopes to transform the new world according to the laws of the old era, the cyber church that hides behind the angels and doesn't know what to think, and most simply - the mage who wants to make the floating island fall and be destroyed......

…… How else could he stand in line?

Russell felt an inexplicable sense of powerlessness.

The world is full of all kinds of evil.

Lawlessness, disorder, and morality.

No one thinks of anyone as the same kind...... Treat others as "objects", measure "value", and judge "meaning".

Not exactly in either direction.

There are problems with either camp.

Russell could only choose "the first to be excluded", but he could not confirm the "last choice".

Demons, Mercenaries, Mages – exclude these three categories first.

As for who he will follow after that......

…… Or, whether to create a force yourself. That will have to wait for him to observe for a while.

His current status will provide an unprecedented opportunity.

A possibility to participate and experience from a "first-person perspective".

What if, weak and ordinary, can he really do something......

“…… But," Russell said after he calmed down, "I have to have a direction." I don't know any other history of religion, so how can I tell if the truth I found is the content corresponding to these three volumes of history? ”

[It's very simple]

The deer head statue gives the final answer.

[The content of these three volumes of religious history is the most crucial "truth", the deepest secret hidden by the church, and even the church itself does not know that they have such secrets]

[This is also the record of the "truth" that I asked him to go to the cyber church to find in the first place.]

[Among the three volumes of religious history, there is a volume on "History Before 0 Years" and a volume on "The Formation of Spiritual Relatives......]

【…… and, a volume on "The Secret of the Dragon's Impery"]
