Chapter 14: A Date with Delphinium
After handing over the information chip made of the deer head to Russell and destroying the snacks in Russell's refrigerator, Bad Day left satisfied.
It is said that he helped Russell to investigate the information of the bad man's father. Said to give him about three days first.
Bad day repeatedly promised that the orders he had already taken would definitely be completed.
But he is not a killer after all, and he will definitely prioritize his own safety when carrying out his mission - Russell is more and more curious about what he did before the bad day to become "the most vicious criminal in the world".
Could it be that he killed a certain director, and as a result, his memories were inherited and he was caught?
β¦β¦ So why is he still so confident in his ability to hide the truth?
It can't be that he exposed himself, right?
"This dog is too good to eat......"
Russell rummaged through the refrigerator and exclaimed.
just sat here and chatted for less than an hour, and all his snacks were emptied by him.
Coke was drunk in two bottles, and two bottles of yogurt were filled!
"Gotta go stock...... Stir up something to eat. β
Russell grimaced, thinking about what to eat.
It's been a long time since the evening, but I don't have to grind in the office in the afternoon...... What to do?
It was just noon when Russell finished his errands with the inferior and returned to Tian'en District.
- It's all time to eat, and the inferior can't treat himself to a meal?
β¦β¦ As a result, Russell still overestimated the emotional intelligence of the inferior.
Just when Russell was seriously thinking about whether he should eat barbecue or steak or hot pot if he asked what he was eating......
The inferior drove Russell all the way home.
He didn't care about it at all, but gave Russell half a day off - saying that since he had a trip to the rebuilding mechanism with him in the morning, he didn't have to go in the afternoon. If there was a task, he would do it for Russell.
β¦β¦ Can't you throw me at the restaurant then?
I'll take a walk back by myself after dinner!
It can also be used to eliminate food by the way.
In fact, Russell still thinks that it may be that the inferior person is a little unbalanced when he sees himself lying in the office every day, and he runs around to help the executive department out of the field. So just let him go home and rest.
Although the inferior also said to Russell, "Since you know how to use a disc board, you can help the minister share some of the work pressure" and something like that.
And Russell also thinks this is quite reasonable...... Compared to going to the front line to run missions, he is much better at the job of psionic hacking.
But when Russell asked, Delphinium was very opposed - she didn't think that her work was too busy for Russell to share.
Then the delphinium touched Russell's head and told him to play the game. He even gave Russell milk that had been left cold and had not moved.
And the inferior side did not dare to pull Russell to carry out the ministry's assistance mission.
Because the lower town is too dangerous again. Not only will the delphinium reprimand him, but the inferior himself will not be at ease to bring Russell over...... After all, the curtain of ignorance is still staring at the inferior.
Although the inferior himself is not afraid of death, he is afraid that he will kill Russell. So with Russell, he has to be cautious and not so crazy. Invisibly, there is a lot less deterrence.
As a result, Russell became a bastard.
He didn't even know what he was doing every day, but he was taking the money.
- This money is very empty.
But it's also cool.
"But what are you going to eat for lunch today......"
Russell muttered under his breath, rummaging through the review software for the nearby storefronts.
He didn't have a driver's license or a floating car, and he didn't want to crowd the subway or the floating rail.
"Let's just take a 20-minute walk from the storefront...... Well? β
At this moment, Russell suddenly received a communication request.
When he picked it up, he found that it was a video call from Delphinch.
"Russell, have you had lunch?"
The minister, who was eating out, asked with a smile.
"Not yet," Russell's voice subconsciously became clearer in front of the delphinch, "still looking for something to eat." β
"Come here, then. I'll treat you to dinner. β
With that, Delphinium sent an address.
β¦β¦ Huh, what's going on?
The minister, who squats in the office every day to eat takeout, is actually going out to eat?
And you're going to invite me to dinner......
Russell hesitated, but saw that the address was indeed quite a good restaurant.
It's not a cafΓ© or something like a place where you can't get enough to eat, but a barbecue restaurant with a good reputation. The ingredients are fresh, and the dipping sauce is good β he doesn't even look at the lettuce buffet. After all, Russell never wrapped vegetables in leaves when he ate barbecue.
So, Russell was still moved.
When he returned, he hadn't changed his clothes or taken off his shoesβRussell set off at once, trotting all the way to his destination. It usually takes more than 20 minutes to walk, but it is compressed to less than 10 minutes.
When they arrived, the delphinium had been waiting there for a long time.
She drank a cup of cold fruit tea with a happy expression on her face, and her fluffy tail behind her wagged briskly from side to side.
After seeing Russell approaching from outside the door, the delphinium waved to him without any fanfare. Just continue to maintain the posture of drinking juice, and raise your hand against Russell without leaving the table with your right elbow not leaving the table, and the five fingers are naturally open.
"Yo!"
Russell said hello in a bad tone.
As he approached, he gave a high-five to the delphinium.
"-Smack!"
The crisp high-five obviously made the delphinium stunned for a moment.
Then she couldn't help laughing: "How can anyone's first reaction be a high-five......"
"Look, that hand is there......"
Russell sat down across from the delphinch.
He also suddenly felt that he was a little rude, but he still said stiffly: "How can you resist not shooting!" β
"You don't look like a cat, you look like a dog."
Delphinium smiled and said, "It's much more active than cats." β
"I think you're so quiet......"
When Russell said this, he paused slightly, stretched out his right hand and palmed it up: "Then what do you think of when you see this." β
"Shake hands."
Delphinium naturally put the fingertips of her right hand on Russell's palm: "I'm a dog." β
Russell's slender fingers tickled a little.
When Russell put away his hand a little embarrassed, Delphinium directly reached out and shook Russell's hand generously.
She gently pulled Russell and motioned for Russell to change seats: "Sit next to me." β
ββ¦β¦ Good. β
Suddenly being gently held by someone, Russell's ears couldn't help but tremble.
He obediently got up and sat down opposite the delphinium to her right.
After he sat down, Delphinium handed Russell a glass of hot milk.
"Stop drinking Coke, drink milk."
She whispered, "Coke is not good for your health." β
Hearing this, Russell clamped his tail with some weakness, and his ears drooped.
ββ¦β¦ Belch. β
Russell was nervous and couldn't help but burp.
He actually just finished drinking a bottle of iced Coke before he left the door......
It's all bad day!
He grabbed Coke over there and drank it, and he went down half a bottle in one sip.
Seeing that Russell felt that he was going to be drunk by the bad day if he didn't drink it anymore, he hurriedly drank a bottle as well.
ββ¦β¦ Why are you so good to me? β
Russell couldn't help but ask.
Delphinium thought for a moment and replied seriously, "Because you're cute." β
"Huh?"
"You're the cutest co-worker I've ever met."
Delphinium said with great certainty.
She then added: "It's not just the cuteness, but the personality. A child with a kind personality and a gentle personality like yours, let alone a special executive department...... Even the entire Happiness Island is probably not much.
"You know that, too. Those who can spontaneously awaken their psionic abilities and enter the Special Enforcement Department are basically people who have been greatly traumatized. It can be said that everyone is just one step away from falling into demons. It's just that the blueshift value is relatively high, so I can persist until I enter the Special Operations Department without losing my rationality.
"Everybody has a bit of a psychological problem to a greater or lesser extent. He is not a normal person...... It's like an inferior one, and it's even better. β
ββ¦β¦ Do you know about the inferior? β
Russell couldn't help but ask, "How much do you know?" β
"All."
Delphinium said softly.
Her tone was soft and steady, like a bedtime whisper: "It's not just the inferior. Those who have been sacrificed, or who have fallen...... I also know all about their past. β
As she spoke, she looked at Russell earnestly.
The light blue pupils made Russell look a little fascinated.
He quickly realized his faux pas and lowered his gaze away.
"I was really surprised."
Delphinium nodded with satisfaction, and then said softly, "It's been more than a month since you came here. I've also killed people, I've killed demons, and I've met my former colleagues who have fallen into demons...... But you seem to be mentally stable. β
Hearing this, Russell suddenly understood.
Why did the delphinium suddenly pull herself out to eat.
It turned out that she felt that she had gone to see "hibernation" and watched the reengineering mechanism, and she must have known the life experience of the inferior, and possibly the situation in winter...... And then you will be cranky.
She was worried that Russell might be under too much mental stress. So I caught Russell in advance, didn't give Russell time to think about it, and gave him the first time to enlighten him about the depression.
β¦β¦ No wonder the inferior have such respect for her. He came much earlier than the delphinium, but when he obeyed the delphinium's orders and accepted the delphinium's reprimand, he did not see any resistance.
If anything, everyone in the Special Enforcement Department is to receive psychological treatment for Delphinium...... Then she is indeed a well-deserved minister of the Special Executive Department.
But at this moment.
Russell couldn't help it, and subconsciously asked:
"The delphinium...... How did you awaken your spiritual powers? β
In fact, as soon as he said this, he regretted it a little.
Russell's analysis of other people's habits allows him to instinctively explore the psychology of others.
But usually he would endure such unclean desires, and when he first met the four eyes of the delphinium, he was a little distracted, so he subconsciously leaked his true thoughts.
However, the delphinium doesn't seem to have much antipathy to this.
She just smiled helplessly: "Sure enough, I guessed well...... One of the most unquenchable instincts is curiosity. β
However, the delphinium did not hide anything from Russell.
Realizing that Russell wanted to know the answer to this question, she carefully sorted out her thoughts.
Under Russell's gaze, she slowly spoke and said softly:
"Unlike the inferior, I don't have the same painful background as him, nor do I have the lofty ideals of Winter...... I'm just an ordinary person. A real ordinary person.
"My father was a worker and my mother was a writer. The family background is not good, nor is it bad; The academic performance is relatively average, and it is about the top third of the class. It was an ordinary school, and there were no very powerful geniuses in it, so it could only be regarded as an ordinary level. I don't usually like sports, so I like to read books, play games, read comics, anime, and novels at home, and occasionally watch funny shows or variety shows......
"Such ordinary days lasted until I was sixteen years old."
Delphinium muttered, "For the first time in my life...... Killed. β
This was the first time Russell had seen the loss of calm and grace on her face since he saw Delphinium.
There is such a strong sense of wavering, sadness and remorse.
