Chapter 18: New Colleagues

Russell waited in his office until it was almost noon before he heard a knock on the door.

He reached out into the void and opened the door with the temporary permission granted to him by the delphinium.

"Sorry Mr. Ultramarineβ€”we're late!"

The panicked voice of the Paradise Bird came from the door: "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting!" ”

"Ah, it's fine."

Russell sat in the position of the delphinch, and his tone was as calm and gentle as that of the delphinium: "I don't have anything to do today...... Sit down first, three. ”

This is a lie.

He's been so busy today. Usually these two days in a month are not so busy.

But this kind of thing doesn't need to be told to the child of Paradise Bird...... Since the bird of paradise is already late, any more such thing will only make the little pigeon feel distressed and guilty.

And......

Russell glanced over and knew that the vinegar of the delphinium was about to eat a lonely meal.

Because behind the paradise bird, there are two men with halos on their heads.

The bishop accompanied two angels, which was not even at the level of "business" anymore - the cardinal order was probably this specification.

Fortunately, those two angels are considered "local angels". I've been with Russell for two months, and the relationship is still relatively harmonious, so Russell doesn't feel any pressure.

One of them had a black aura on his head – that was "ignorance". He has a rare black aura, which is said to be a rather rare talent among angels.

From the waist down, there are snake tails, and there are long black and dull hair. In terms of temperament and appearance, it will be reminiscent of classical and feminine women.

He always smiled gently, and because his eyes were scary and his vision was very low, he always wore glasses and squinted.

And the other is a well-known lazy dog. His code name was "Horn".

On his head is a pale yellow halo reminiscent of earth.

It was a man with a canine family. His pupils were light brown and wolf-like, with wolf ears and a lowered tail.

Russell knew, although the other party's psychic disease was mild from the outside. But it's actually moderate - because his pupils are really the same as those of a wolf. As a result, eyesight is much lower than that of the average human.

When he saw Russell, he couldn't help but yawn heavily.

While yawning, he beckoned to Russell in advance: "Haaa......a Morning. ”

"It's half past eleven, brother."

Russell was a little speechless for a while: "What time did you sleep last night?" ”

"I didn't sleep."

Horn rubbed his eyes and said in a very sleepy voice, "I'll go back and catch up on my sleep after I'm done." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What's the big thing that keeps you awake all night? ”

Russell's expression suddenly became serious: "I remember that you are an angel who specializes in guarding?" ”

"It's the variety show of "Hurry Up and Escape", it's pretty good."

The big white wolf sat directly on the sofa and said lazily: "I watched the third season from the first season last night, and I didn't sleep all night. One thing to say, it's really good-looking. ”

After that, the paradise bird sat down beside him very reservedly. Ignorance, on the other hand, went to the other side by himself.

"The one who finds eight people to escape from different secret rooms in different organs for a limited time in each issue?"

Russell reacted immediately when he heard the horn's description: "Then you're quite lucky." Season 4 isn't good, so it's recommended to skip to season 5. I don't think the mechanic that was added to Season 4 is good...... There was a ghost in the team to interfere with the escape or something, and it was quite fresh for the first time, but later I found out that the routines were almost the same, and watching too much would only make people feel annoyed. Fortunately, the audience voted with their feet, and the call for removing this mechanism was as high as 86%, so the fifth season was cut directly. ”

Instead, the horn was stunned for a moment: "Hey, you actually know? ”

"Well, that variety show is in charge of the emperor. He also invited me to participate. ”

"Aren't you going? I remember that there was a floating car in the bonus, didn't you have a car yet? ”

"I don't want a car. If you buy a car and learn to drive, you may be arrested and become a driver. ”

Russell rightly poured himself a glass of ice Coke: "Cat, me, just shrink in the back row and play games...... If I really want to travel, someone will send me. ”

The horn was stunned: "It makes sense!" It seems that it is indeed a group of people who learn to drive and who has a car has to drive......"

"Right?"

"But you're late, I'm done with my studies......"

"Then you'll drive next time you go out."

After Russell finished chatting with the lazy dog, he greeted Wuming familiarly: "Anyway, Wuming...... Did you buy a prosthetic eye? If you buy it, remember to ask me to help you install it. There is no charge for reliable technology - I helped her install the new prosthetic body of Delphinium. After all, the eyes don't look like arms and legs or something, and the technical difficulty of perfect nerve connection is quite high...... Don't be embarrassed to bother me. I'll scratch you then. ”

"Don't rush, just save money slowly."

Ignorance said slowly, "If you have saved enough, I will definitely come to you." I've already thought about the gift I'll give you when the time comes. ”

He always has a special temperament, like a natural cool breeze blowing in the summer, which can make people's restless mood become calm: "But there are a few extra flowers lately, so I may have to slow down." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Hey, what did you buy? ”

With such a low level of ignorance, can there be a lot of flowers?

"He donated all the bounties he got from the company after the gangs in Xiacheng District were wiped out."

The horn said lazily, grinning at Russell's gaze, brushing his right hand with a thumbs up, and said in a strange voice: "All of us have all donated, and we are penniless!" ”

"Ah, it's you."

Russell smiled helplessly: "I'm almost halfway there." ”

In terms of the moral standards of the angels, it is true that they cannot accept "money in exchange for human heads."

Even if the people killed are villains, murderers, and mages.

But Russell thought they would refuse to accept it or give the money to the church...... Did it turn out to be a direct donation?

"To whom?"

"It's different, I donated to the primary school, and Ignorance donated to the nursing home......"

Horn waved his hand: "As for the prosthetic eye, save money slowly." We've all got jobs now. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Job? ”

Russell was stunned for a moment: "Are you planning to stay on Happiness Island?" ”

"That's what we're going to tell you, Bishop!"

As he spoke, the horn slapped the back of the paradise bird next to him and made a crisp snap.

"Don't push so hard, Horn."

"You light, brother, don't break people and children."

Ignorance and Russell complained at the same time.

"Sorry, sorry......"

As soon as the horn was shot, he felt that something was wrong, put down his upturned legs, and lowered his ears: "Bishop...... Did I slap you? ”

"No, it's okay......"

Although Paradise Bird felt a hot pain in her back, even a little swollen, she still showed a relaxed smile to comfort the horn: "It's okay. ”

Immediately, she looked at Russell.

After their eyes met, she nodded slightly, and said seriously and slowly, "That's right, Mr. Ultramarine......

"The church heard about the 'godfathers' in the lower city. They saw it as a new element of instability, and demanded that angels reside here and exterminate the Church Father and his forces...... For this reason, the church is willing to give us higher authority and reach in-depth cooperation with the company......"

Paradise Bird knows that "ultramarine" is the "godfather".

But she clearly did not betray Russell.

Even though the angels around her are Russell's friends, she is trying to tell Russell in a way that doesn't attract their attention.

What she meant by this translates to the fact that the church considers the so-called "godfathers" and "families" to still belong to the mage.

The Downtown victory came so easily, they wondered how much water was in it. And at this time, the godfather who emerged seamlessly attracted their attention.

Through investigation or something, they determined that the godfather was also a mage. So he planned to sell part of his interests and stay on Happiness Island for a long time.

"Because the combination of the godfather and the uptown is obviously much deeper than the previous model."

"According to the Church's investigation, the Church Father is a devil who is very good at demagogy. Many people who are not uncensored, and may even include the upper echelons and those in power, may be deceived by him and used by the godfather in secrecy. I'll be honest, with us people, it's very difficult to even suppress the development of this organization, let alone uprooting it......

"But Tongshen Island, Holy Blood Island, and Sun Island are all in different situations one by one. The Church is powerless to continue to throw people ...... our side"

In fact, he is afraid of us angels. I'm afraid we've taken the power of those old men. ”

Horn cocked his legs again, sneered while shaking, and said bluntly, "So they are obviously in this kind of trouble, and they are still unwilling to thaw more angels."

"Ah, how do you say that...... Although it has been frozen for more than 100 years, the church is still not much different from a hundred years ago.

"If it weren't for the Pope's guidance, I guess the angels on the other islands would have wanted to stop doing it. Tsk, they deserve to command us, too? ”

"That saidβ€”"

Fearing that the horn would say more transgressions, Paradisebird interrupted him and looked at Russell, "The church asked me to bring two angels to the Special Operations Department. It is said that it has been discussed with Tianen Group to supplement the personnel shortage of the Special Enforcement Department.

"I also brought the order of the board with me...... It was said that the inferior person was demoted to an ordinary member of the Special Enforcement Department and that he was granted a long leave. You were promoted to deputy minister...... The specific transfer order may arrive in the afternoon, or it may arrive tomorrow.

"Would you like to order some takeout and wait here for Minister Delphinium to come back?"

At this point, she and Russell looked at each other deeply.

Just looking at each other, but Russell, who had completed the same tone once before, easily understood the meaning of the paradise bird.

- She had something to say to herself, to avoid these two angels.

He knew what to do.
