Chapter 1 The cat that was picked up and brought home
Russell half-leaned back on the bed, took off his game blindfold, and sighed deeply.
"Boring ......"
Just then, the door to the room creaked open.
Delphinch, who had just taken off her coat and was changing into her home clothes, walked in from the door with a bag of buns.
"You're off work~"
Russell's voice immediately shifted and became well-behaved.
"Obviously, when you go to work, you also play games in the office."
Delphinium said angrily: "Why can't you play now lying down and playing games?" ”
"I don't know."
Russell was also a little puzzled by the sudden burnout.
He finally came to the conclusion that "maybe it's not the game that's interesting, it's the fish."
"Watching you and the inferior work hard while I lay around and fish – it's even happier than playing a game."
Hearing this, Delphinium directly threw the bun in his hand to Russell.
She crossed her waist with one hand and said angrily and funny: "Don't say it in front of me!"
"You know if you have a lot of blood pressure!"
If Russell's body hadn't recovered, Delphinium would have rushed up to knock him on the skull or pluck his ears by now.
Russell looked innocent and learned the tone of the delphinch: "But I'm a cat." ”
Delphinium began to seriously consider whether to give him a punch.
It's noon on August 2nd.
Russell passed out on the street in the early hours of yesterday morning. Less than thirty hours have passed.
Delphinium, who was still protecting Xia and them in Downtown, suddenly sensed that Russell was using her chip.
However, there is something strange about the location -
Not in Downtown, but in Uptown.
She immediately realized that something was wrong.
Not long ago, Russell appeared in front of the camera.
If you count by the time, he immediately went to Uptown after he appeared...... So why did he suddenly appear in front of the camera?
- Do you make an alibi?
The clever Delphinium was the first to realize Russell's purpose.
She also guessed why Russell would use his chip without warning in Uptown.
In addition to being used to burst out when she is desperate, there is another way to use her psionic energy...... That is, when it is about to lose control and become a demon, the out-of-control spiritual energy is suppressed again.
Russell's psionic energy was already blue, red, and four, and it was possible to complete the transfer at any time.
Red Shift Level 5 and Shift Surge Completed, which is very easy to get out of control - Level 6 Red Shift, and Red Shift is higher than Blue Shift, it will completely transform into a demon.
For ordinary psykers, this process may continue for a while...... But for a mid-level psionic who has completed the shift, even one loss of control is not allowed.
She was very worried about the situation on Russell's side.
Fortunately, at this time, this overwhelming war in the lower city has basically ended, and it should be no problem to hand over the rest to the inferior.
So Delphinium also learned from Russell and deliberately flashed in front of the camera.
Then she walked towards the spot where Russell was last seen in her senses.
As a result, he picked up Russell who had passed out in the water.
His whole body was wet from the torrential rain, and his ears and tail, which were originally good-looking and clean, with silky hair, were also wet with muddy water. The whole person looked like a stray cat soaked and soaked by the rainstorm, embarrassed and pitiful.
Considering that Russell deliberately created an alibi, there may be some secret that he didn't want to be discovered......
So Delphinium did not choose to take a taxi to take Russell home, nor did she call the emergency number to the hospital.
She first fed Russell a pill to prevent angina, and then messaged her father to drive over and bring a blanket.
Fortunately, the war in Xiacheng was very fierce, and Delfinium's father had not slept yet, and was lying on the quilt watching the live broadcast, watching it with great energy.
When he arrived, he was surprised—
The "ultramarines" who were still killing in the video just now, but they were in a coma in Shangcheng?
But he didn't ask anything...... As soon as the two wrapped Russell in blankets, they stuffed him in the trunk and took him directly to Delphinium's own home.
Originally, Delphinium wanted to help Russell clean it.
But Delfinium's father drove her away in disgust and told her to go and bathe herself first.
Before the delphinium was washed, her father simply helped Russell clean his body and put him in the delphinium's bedroom.
- Delphinch: What about me?
- Delphinium Daddy: You and your mother sleep in the same bed, and give your bed to Ultramarine.
But in fact, until the end, the delphinium still did not sleep.
Because until this time, after such intense fiddling, Russell still showed no signs of waking up at all.
And shortly after lying down, he had another episode of angina. After that, he started to have a fever again...... This is probably due to soaking in cold water for a long time.
Delphinium gave Russell another pill.
He stared until half past three in the morning and did not fall ill again, and then fell asleep next to Russell.
She woke up at eight a.m. and took Russell's temperature. Seeing that it had returned to normal, she was relieved to get up and go to work, and by the way, she asked Director Dodgerson for a leave of absence for Russell.
This was to prevent the trauma from being known – and also to protect Russell's alibi.
The reasons are very reasonable...... Russell blends in with the crowds of fleeing Downtown, hoping to get more information.
When he was arrested before, Russell had already reported his "cross-dressing infiltration" behavior to explain how he appeared directly in the hinterland.
Now is the right excuse to use.
He didn't call in sick because there was no explanation why Russell didn't go to the hospital.
After all, the medical expenses of the Special Operations Department have always been fully reimbursed. Taking sick leave and not going to the hospital must be suspicious.
- Even though Russell was still unconscious, Delphinium helped him deal with the follow-up matters safely.
At least he won't be paralyzed by his previous preparations because he was in a coma for most of the day.
It's not the same as usual......
Usually the delphinium can not go home without going home. I just stayed in the office at noon and night, and didn't go home until late at night.
But because she was worried about the situation on Russell's side, Delphinium rushed back at noon to see how the kitten she had picked up was doing.
Her dad also has his own job...... Mom writes full-time at home, so she has some time to take care of Russell.
But she didn't have the expertise after all.
Although Delphinium told her what medicine to apply if there was any illness, even the bottle was labeled as a medicine for fever, cold, and angina, and a chip was left for dealing with the loss of psionic energy...... But she still doesn't trust her own mother's reliability.
But when she hurried back, she found that Russell had woken up. Although she still looked a little pale and weak, she seemed to be in good spirits—she was sitting on the bed, talking happily with her mother.
Talking happily - refers to the fact that the two are very happy when discussing the dark history of Delphinium as a child.
After she went to work, Russell had another fever and angina, and his condition gradually stabilized.
Although Russell claims that he has recovered and is ready to go to work -
But his current mental state is still clearly wrong.
His psionic energy couldn't be suppressed at all...... The pale flames in the pupils kept pulsing unsteadily, changing color from time to time. It even made Delfinium's mother think that he was a modified prosthetic eye and was emitting RGB light.
So the delphinium still forced Russell to rest for another day, so as not to be found out that he was not in the right state.
Worried that Russell would be bored, Delphinium waited for the end of the evening to leave work and brought back the game blindfold that Russell had left in the office.
As a result, when he went home the next day, he found Russell looking like he "didn't have the energy to play games when he wasn't at work", lying on his bed picking and picking fish.
The fist is hard and belongs to yes.
"You're in good spirits."
Seeing that there was no more glimmer of psionic energy in Russell's eyes, the delphinium clasped his hands on his chest and commented, "In that case, let's come back to work tomorrow." ”
She still hadn't asked Russell what he had done the night before, or why he had passed out in an unmonitored alley in Uptown in the early hours of yesterday morning.
Russell didn't say, she didn't ask.
There is still this level of trust between them.
Delphinch added: "It just so happens that something has happened in the past two days, and you may have to be busy for a few days when you go back."
"What's going on?"
Russell was slightly shocked in his heart, thinking that it would not be the inferior who was arrested and checked his memory.
But the delphinium's words stunned him.
"Miss Bai Xue died yesterday.
"It looks like he committed suicide by jumping off a building."
