A day before the end of the month.

Russell fished on the couch in his office as usual.

On the other hand, he bought a gaming goggle and moved straight to the office.

- Anyway, it's all about touching fish, but it's better to touch it refreshingly.

Russell is relying on his superhuman reflexes to control all kinds of guns in a single-player game with a plot orientation...... A message pops up in the top right corner of him.

He pauses the game and removes his blindfold.

"Another interview?"

Russell rubbed his eyes and complained, "Or is that the thing?" ”

In the past half a month, he still did not go out on a mission.

It's not that the inferior and the delphinium are still protecting him...... But since that mission, he's been going to give one or two interviews almost every day.

Some of the interviews were about "the illegal psionics and mercenaries they annihilated", while others were about "how to think about the uncensored ones going on a killing spree", "whether it was worth destroying many factories in order to annihilate and arrest the uncensored, causing the prices of some goods to rise by about 8%", and "which is more important to capture the uncensored or to maintain the quality of life of the residents of the upper city".

There are also some things about the delphinium self-destructing, "Is it just necessary to dispatch the construction machine soldiers to fight the lower city", "The construction machine soldiers are destroyed by the confrontation against the lower city, is it because the level of the pilot is not enough or the enemy is too strong", "If you don't rely on angels, you can't solve the problem of the lower city", and so on.

- Yes.

It has been more than a week now, and the angels sent by the church have not yet entered the lower town.

The specific reason is also very simple.

It's.

The angels argue with the board of directors during the day, about how far the firepower can be unleashed, whether they need to abide by the "consensus", whether they can take action against other uncensored people besides mages, whether they need to distinguish between criminals among uncensored ones, etc...... And in the evening, you have to learn modern common sense.

Until now, the angels have been trapped in the park of the Tianen Group, and they have not even left.

Occasionally, Russell could still see them when he went to eat in the cafeteria.

With Russell's strong affinity...... Maybe after getting the mask of the Paradise Bird Father, the power of the Holy Rank that was fed back to the main body, and his relationship with those angels was quite good.

"Not really."

Delphinium glanced at Russell and said slowly, "A guest has come to you by name." ”

“…… Ha? ”

Russell was a little confused: "Is this a cat café?"

"Why do I have to pick up customers?"

"What do you think......

Delphinium laughed and cried, and slid a message to Russell: "It's someone from the church...... Well, it's here. You sit up straight, don't lie on the couch to meet guests. ”

Russell turned over and sat up from the couch, arranging his somewhat fluffy and messy hair, and wondering in his heart: "What do the church people want me to do......

At this moment, Delphinium sat down in her seat and opened the door to the Special Enforcement Department.

After seeing the person who came, Russell's eyes suddenly lit up.

"It's you, Ignorance!"

He greeted warmly: "Come and sit here...... Ah, you can't sit down, so come here! ”

Swimming in through the doorway was a snake.

He had long, pure black matte hair that fell behind him. Inexplicably, it gives people a feeling of "fake flowers".

With black irises and white pupils, people think they are blind.

She wears high-quality glasses and has a gentle temperament, which at first glance may be perceived by passers-by as a traditional woman with a soft temperament.

Ignorance has only the upper half of a human body, and from the waist down is half a black mamba.

And on the head of this serpent angel, there is a dark halo hanging over it.

Yes, dark - although it glows, it gives a "black" feel. It is reminiscent of a solar eclipse ring.

This is one of the angels who got acquainted with Russell during this time.

It was he who first told Russell that they had been meeting since they arrived on Happiness Island...... This is also the factual evidence that Russell can completely confirm that the paradise bird is a "private angel".

"Why did you suddenly remember to play with me?"

Russell said excitedly, "Wait a minute, I'll go get you some snacks......"

"I don't eat mice."

Ignorance makes a somewhat cold joke, but Russell unexpectedly gets it.

- Desert cats and black mambas eat mainly rats.

Russell went to the refrigerator and replied angrily: "I don't want to eat you." When the inferior comes back, I'll let him stew you. ”

After all, desert cats also eat snakes.

"No need to take it, I'll just come in and take a plate."

Ignorance speaks very slowly, giving people a very quiet feeling.

He took off his glasses and wiped them slowly.

Frequent weird soul-kissing jokes...... It's as if I really think of myself as a snake.

But although he is a poisonous snake, his personality is also quite friendly among the angels.

Russell would occasionally give an uncontrollable look at his hands — for example, touching Nameless's long, matte black hair, or taking Nameless's glasses to see how many degrees there were.

Because of Russell's rapid reaction speed, sometimes the body will move before the brain as soon as it is empty.

But ignorance has never been angry. Even if his astigmatism of more than 1,000 degrees and myopia are removed, once his glasses are removed, there is no distinction between humans and animals within five meters...... But he didn't yell at Russell either. He wasn't angry or anxious, he just asked Russell to return his glasses to him slowly.

"Seriously, aren't you looking for someone to get a prosthetic eye?"

Russell couldn't help but ask: "You just tell the company directly, and let them give you the best one from the inventory." I don't believe they dare to say no. ”

"That's not good."

Ignorance said slowly, "When I make enough money, I'll go to the prosthetic doctor myself." ”

"I'm the prosthetic doctor!"

Russell volunteered: "I will also pretend to be prosthetic, and I will not charge you a fee...... Or can I just lend you some money to buy a set? You're too inconvenient for that. ”

"No, I don't. But when I buy a prosthetic eye, I'll ask you to help me install it. ”

Ignorance smiled softly and put his glasses back on.

Retrobulbar anesthesia is required for the first prosthetic eye, which is very dangerous. Only the best old doctors can make sure that there are no problems.

It is indeed a very strong trust to be able to let Russell help him switch to a prosthetic eye.

Let's be honest...... After more than a week of getting along, it shouldn't have reached this level.

Russell sensed something strange.

But soon, Russell realized where the source of that trust was......

"Come in, Bishop Paradisebird."

Ignorance turned back to the door.

The one who poked his brain through the door was the Paradise Bird.

But it's different from the simple white clothes before...... She donned the Cyber Church's signature double-breasted long trench coat.

After seeing Russell, the paradise bird suddenly smiled.

"Sir!"

She shouted crisply.

Russell was also a little surprised when he saw her.

As an uncensored, did you succeed in joining a cyber church?

And he started out as a bishop.

…… It makes sense to think about it, after all, she is the power of the Holy Rank that has awakened spontaneously. And the intensity is already close to that of a "saint", that is, an angel.

Modern-day saints are even only fourteen years old.

When she is complete, she may even be able to become the seed of a new angel.

The church could not let such genius go unchecked.

"It's wonderful."

Russell sighed from the bottom of his heart: "It is much better to enter the church than to be frightened in the lower town." ”

Even if the ultimate purpose of the church is very dangerous...... They crave human-like mending, and they manipulate and rewrite the memories of others and themselves, and even deceive the "gods" in order to steal power.

They do have big problems – but none of them are urgent.

In the lower city, where it is difficult to survive, in the upper city, where every value is squeezed clean, there is probably only the cyber church that is really willing to do practical things for others.

Although, more or less, they do good deeds for the power of the Holy Order...... But that doesn't matter.

Even if there are some impurities in that heart, the good deeds they have done are real, and their good deeds are real. Relatively speaking, the Cyber Church is already the most reliable force in the world.

If it weren't for Alice's last words, Russell would probably have joined the church.

After all, he has no desire to be rich and have pleasure. As long as you have enough money to spend, you don't covet power and status...... In this case, it is quite happy to be able to live a life of peace and happiness and help others.

A pure child like the Paradise Bird can enter the church...... He even became a bishop from the beginning.

That's a very good thing.

She pulled out a data cable from behind her ear and looked at Russell's eyes as if it were shining: "I can add your friend now!" ”

She looked at Russell's gaze with such a complicated gaze.

It is as if looking at a "hero", a "mage", a "godfather", an "angel...... Even a "father".

But in the end, these cognitions, these disparate identities all came together and became "Russell".

Saved her several times...... A hero who belongs only to her.

This is the reality that the birds of paradise see through the "ultramarine".

Gazed upon with such sincere eyes...... Russell was also a little speechless for a while.

He was a little afraid to bear that penetrating gaze, and changed the subject:

"You're assembling the chip?"

"Hmm!"

Paradise Bird nodded vigorously.

She looked at Russell intently: "In that case...... We don't have to 'meet again' in the future, but see each other when we want! ”

Russell smiled helplessly.

Truly......

It was only after he came back that he realized how difficult it was to meet him, a working house who was almost at home and at the same time.

A no-coder. Unless Russell returns to Downtown as a barber again, she may not see Russell for the rest of her life.

After physically linking up with Paradisebird and adding friends, she waved goodbye to Russell.

Ignorance smiled at Russell and nodded, and swam away after the Paradise Bird.

The delphinch, who had not spoken, watched the whole process intently.

She was a little curious: "Do you know that child?" ”

Russell opened his mouth, not thinking for a moment how he should summarize the Paradise Bird.

Angel Daughter? A spontaneously awakened saint? Volunteer doctors in the lower city? Gifted instrument specialists? Pure and kind uncensored?

Russell was silent for a moment.

He replied softly:

"He's a good boy. I might become a great adult in the future. ”

Russell leaned back against Delphinium's desk.

He looked up, reminiscing about what had happened a week ago, and recounting with some nostalgia what had happened between him and the Paradise Bird.

The delphinium was lying on the table, looking at Russell with a sideways face, listening carefully to the story about the birds of paradise.

A story that begins with "misidentification" and ends with "rerecognition".
