Chapter 57: Ultramarine
The inferior whispered, "Actually, before you appeared. The elves are deliberately supporting the [heroes], and almost every elf in the top position has a corresponding hero...... Or rather, each hero has elven directors who endorse their actions. For example, you can be considered a hero supported by Amirus. β
That is, the elves are trying to expand their power?
And......
"Amirus?"
Russell was a little surprised: "But I didn't even know him before that." β
"I only found out later. Who would have known that he, as an elf director, would elect an unknown person as a hero? β
The inferior sighed and walked to Russell's side: "So at first, I thought that you were also one of the pawns of the elves. But after contact, I realized that you are different from those other heroes. β
ββ¦β¦ How different is it? β
Russell couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart and leaned over: "Speaking of which, I haven't investigated the heroes of Happiness Island yet...... After all, since you have said so, the news on the Internet must not be reliable.
"So, tell me who they are? Mob? Star? Narcissist? Swindler? Or is it a despicable villain? β
"Don't. I want to vomit just thinking about the word 'hero'. β
The inferior refused without hesitation.
He suddenly turned his head and leaned closer, his cold pale blue pupils staring at Russell, "Compared to that." Let the minister apply, and I'll take you to see the devil in a few daysβthat's the right thing. β
"The inferior is right, this is indeed the right thing."
The delphinium nodded.
She glanced at the inferior again, and there seemed to be a subtle admonition and rebuke in her eyes.
This is obviously because the previous inferior person lost control of his emotions at that moment.
Then, the gentle and calm voice sounded from her small body: "It cannot be said that all demons are evil. But there are very few who don't have the desire to attack and prey on humans, but you have seen and only seen such a case.
"If you can't understand the demon's twist, it may make you gullible to the tricks of the rest of the demons begging for mercy."
Russell was tempted to argue that he was born with a talent for seeing through the lies of othersβnot in this life, but in the last.
But this kind of thing seems too arrogant to say. And others won't believe it easily.
So Russell nodded and answered.
And the delphinium looked over with a smile: "But, Russell." Until then...... You'll have to go to the Hive nightclub again today. β
"Huh? Why? β
Russell was suddenly a little shocked: "Someone has been kidnapped again?" Or is there another demon suspect? β
"It's not. It's the owner of the Hive nightclub who wants to thank you. Thank you by name. β
ββ¦β¦ Socialize. β
Russell grimaced.
He asked a little warily, "Can I ask, the boss...... Is it male or female? What age? β
"Ah, don't worry. Just normal socializing. β
Delphinium smiled, her voice clear and gentle, reminiscent of fragrant black tea: "Although the Beehive Nightclub focuses on female-oriented entertainment, its owner is a man. And his sexuality is normal.
"The man's code name is 'Black Skeleton', and he is a middle-aged man who looks a little vulgar, but has a relatively straightforward personality and can say whatever comes to mind. This kind of boss is a relatively easy type to contact...... It's much easier to understand than that smiling tiger.
"It's not just the Hive Nightclub - one-third of the hot springs, nightclubs, KTV and other entertainment facilities on Happiness Island are all in his name.
"A lot of demonic suspects haunt this kind of facility. If nothing else, sooner or later we will demolish a building or blow up a house in the middle of a mission, and it doesn't hurt to get to know this boss in advance. β
β¦β¦ If you are familiar with your face in advance, you can be scolded less when you blow up his house in the future?
"But, delphinium...... Did you not know this big boss before? β
Why do you have to let me be a newcomer?
"You know the character of the inferior person, if he goes, he may fight. After all, I heard that the personality of that person is also quite bad. β
The delphinium crossed her fingers on her chin and tilted her head to look at Russell.
With the angelic smile that is characteristic of Samoyed, she made her voice crisp and seemed to be a teenage girl: "As for me...... I don't want to say that, but I think I'm pretty cute.
"I don't want to be harassed by him. It's meant to be less troublesome, but that might end up making things more troublesome.
"I can't go, and neither can the inferior. We don't have a good relationship with a lot of big bosses...... But it's great that we have a new person like youβ"
So in the end, Russell went.
On the one hand, there is some can't resist the smile of the delphinium, and on the other hand, Russell is really worried that the inferior will mess things up.
But when Russell saw the "black remains", he was a little surprised.
Because he's really seen this man...... It was the man on the airboat who was going to give Russell a villa and a float car, accompanied by a maid driver.
The skin is slightly darkened, which is a sign of sunbathing. Even indoors, he wears brown sunglasses all the time - this is because his eyes are somewhat photophobic.
Because his spiritual relatives are bats, but the characteristics are not obvious. Almost all of them are negative traits.
But it's true, as Delphinch said, a vulgar man with a big grin. There is no scruple between words, and he even dares to directly scold the director of the head office.
Except for the greasy and boring jokes, but it was true that he sincerely thanked Russell for saving his two lives, because he happened to be at the Hive nightclub yesterday. Hearing that it was Russell who made a decisive move, he immediately wanted to thank him.
There were no surprises in this meeting.
However, after eating with Russell, the black skeleton invited Russell to take a bath and relax in the hot spring hotel he opened...... Russell politely refused.
Bathing with people you don't know or something...... It's fine.
It's mainly caused by the business of the black skeleton, which makes Russell always worry that he will come out of the bath, and maybe the black skeleton will be very righteous enough to arrange a few beautiful sisters for him or something......
β¦β¦ The odds are even high.
And Russell is still somewhat reserved in this regard.
After eating, he was personally sent out of the Hive Nightclub by Black Remains, and directly called the driver to drive Russell home in a floating car.
After Russell got into the car, he always felt that the female driver driving in front of him was a little familiar.
Long black hair, erected horse-eared ......
- Isn't this the guy who played with his tail in the elevator before!?
Although the other party took off the smiley mask, Russell still recognized her directly.
It turns out that she is a driver hired by the boss of the black skeleton?
But for some reason, Russell actually saw a slight sense of threat in her back.
"About Little Liuli......"
Suddenly, she spoke.
Russell subconsciously tensed his body.
ββ¦β¦ Thank you. β
"What?"
Russell was stunned for a moment.
"Thank you, and finally choose to reserve the reputation for 'Little Liuli'......"
She didn't look back, but whispered.
Russell's eyes widened slowly.
When he resonated before, the memories obtained from Lan Ge Robin's mind surfaced in front of Russell's eyes.
Brunette, Malta......
Could it be that β
"Actually, I haven't forgotten that time. I keep everything in my head. β
She whispered, "He likes to drink iced cola and eat spicy crayfish." It's obviously not good for his throat, but he just insists on eating it...... I like to eat and I can't grill it.
"Later...... She fell in love with beer. But don't dare to get drunk. If you can't get drunk, it's not as good as Coke. β
ββ¦β¦ He doesn't drink Coke, maybe he just doesn't want to reminisce about the past. β
Russell said softly.
He was already sure.
This black-haired big sister is none other than Lan Ge Gong's former girlfriend.
Although it was once said that "knowledge changes destiny...... But she didn't seem to be as a white-collar worker and "slightly" change her destiny as she thought back then.
Even if she seems to be just a driver now. However, Russell, who has a third-level red shift, can sense a sense of crisis, this is certainly not an ordinary person.
Xiao Liuli may not know......
His girlfriend, like him, stepped into the world of darkness. And it sank deeper than him.
β¦β¦ Maybe it's best not to know.
"yes."
She sighed, "He's avoiding me." I'm avoiding him too. β
After a moment of silence, she continued to murmur, "In the end, looking back, it was indeed different.
"I like to drink drinks, work to do, and dreams for the future. Nothing has changed. β
"So, what about the love between you?"
"Love doesn't change, it just withers and fades. It's like a petal, and it's like an old photo. For now, at least, it's still fresh in my mind. β
She smiled and said, "It's the blue song robin, or the little glass." No matter what he becomes...... I like him all. β
The floating car has begun to slowly slow down and land.
She turned back to Russell, "It's here, hero." β
It was indeed a gentle face that matched her voice.
It's just that on the left side of her cheek, there is also an etching line similar to that of Bad Sun, like a scar.
Her left eye is a cold prosthetic eye, and there is a barcode of unknown meaning under the eyelid.
Looking at her, Russell was a little distracted for a moment.
He thought a lot of things in that moment. It's like reading a book, and I'm stunned.
It changes every day. But after many days, looking back, nothing seems to have changed.
People are in this kind of reincarnation, living and dying, repeating themselves.
The huge floating island is like a huge grinding disc suspended between heaven and earth.
Something suddenly dawned on him.
What are you going to do...... What can I do?
"Add a friend?"
Lowering the float car to a height where she could get off, she looked back and smiled and asked, "My code name is Morgan." Morgan #011203. β
But Morgan quickly reacted again: "Oh yes, you don't have a code name yet...... Then forget it. After all, physical links are not very secure. β
ββ¦β¦ No, I've already figured out the codename. β
Russell shook his head.
Maybe it's a kind of inheritance, or maybe it's just a commemoration.
But......
Russell felt that he needed to remember his thoughts of this moment, this moment.
Morgan asked with interest, "Oh? It's good, what's it called? β
"βUltramarine."
Russell replied, "Ultramarine ultramarine." β
ββ¦β¦ The color of the sea. β
Morgan sighed lightly and sighed in a low voice, "It's good, it's a color that calms people." β
Russell shook his head when he heard this.
"When you look at me, do you think of the sky or the sea?"
ββ¦β¦ The sky. β
Morgan smiled, "You're a hero born in the sky." No matter how you think about it, you can't think of the sea. β
"yes."
Russell nodded.
He subconsciously raised his head and looked at the sky under the night.
It doesn't matter if it's a gray sky or a blue sky...... At night, it's just as dark.
It's just that unlike another world, there are no "stars" in the night sky of this world.
Under the night, Russell, looking up at the sky, his pupils were as bright as the morning light.
It was the traces of many streamers under the night, flowing under his pupils.
"One day, I'm going to make people think...... Ultramarine is supposed to be the color of the sky. β
That's what allows birds to fly freelyβthe color of the sky.
Even in this world, there has never been an ultramarine sky.
- It's always been that way, right?
