Chapter 14: The Phantom Betrayer
Ostensibly, Russell was sitting quietly and obediently in the form of Alice, while the delphinium was curled up and resting on Alice's lap.
In fact, Russell has a different picture in his mind at the moment - sharing everything she sees with the delphinch.
In this way, he personally felt the dexterity of the Delphinium Cyber incarnation. It's like watching a hologram, watching the delphinium retreat into the pure data void from time to time, skillfully jumping through the network, and controlling all the cameras around it.
It's like a virtual hunter who only lives in the network.
The pure white wolf spirit ran freely, following the man who looked a little crazy, following the traces left by the man.
Alice looked distractedly at the vision in her head as she nodded to the waitress who brought the food, revealing a gentle and polite smile.
She pointed her gaze at the delphinium and put her hand to her lips in a "shhhhhhhhhh
The young waiter immediately understood what she meant, and nodded repeatedly. He hurriedly put his hand to his mouth, signaling that he would not make a noise to wake the delphinium.
The kid was obviously a little uneasy—when he got back, he grabbed the other waiters who were laughing and talking, and whispered something. At the same time, he looked at Alice.
…… What an overzealous child.
Alice was a little helpless, but did not correct the other party's misunderstanding.
Instead, he made a cute gesture of asking for a request with his hands folded, one eye closed, and his head tilted.
In fact, Alice simply guessed that the other party would ask a question like "Is this young lady asleep?", so she simply signaled that the delphinium was asleep.
As a result, I didn't expect the other party's reaction to be so big.
Is it because of his and Delphinium's appearance?
Or is it just a good mood or a good person?
But that doesn't matter. Since the other party has good intentions and wants to help them, then of course Alice will not try to correct the other party's misconceptions-
With Alice's gentle character, not only will she not explain clearly when the other party misunderstands, but will simply turn around and ask the other party generously, so as to cater to and satisfy the other party's good thoughts.
You can't let a good person be disappointed by doing a bad thing with good intentions after being moved by good intentions - if it is not troublesome, it is better to cater to them, or secretly help the other party, so that this "good thing" that was originally a misunderstanding will come true.
In this way, cooperating with the other party to act in a scene, he only paid a small price. However, the other party can get positive feedback and "girl's gratitude" because of their good thoughts and good deeds. In this way, the other person's mood will also improve.
It is a pure joy of "self-realization". It is so powerful that it may even turn a person's mind around, or even save a person.
Taking a step back, it is also possible to increase the "sum of happiness" and "sum of goodness" within this group.
This mindset is very different from Russell...... He doesn't care about the truth or justice, but puts himself in everyone's shoes. It is not only to protect the safety of the other party, but also to protect the dignity and faith of the other party.
This delicate and intangible, gentle and invisible, is exactly how Alice does things.
And at this moment, in Russell's brain, the core of "Russell" thinking was briefly separated.
Like a CPU with multi-core computing, Russell maintains complete calmness, objectivity, and thinking.
For the first time, from such a close distance...... Exposed to the "truth of the past".
Those doubts that he had put aside for the time being and silently remembered in his heart gradually surfaced at this moment.
- First of all, the act of killing itself is unnatural.
When Alice first left Happiness Island, she was not incognito.
As long as you send a mercenary, you can assassinate her. Able to detect psykers who hide their identities and force or ask them to kill them...... Such a person must be able to afford to hire mercenaries.
Why do you have to let a weak psyker with two levels of strength try to curse Alice?
It's not going to work at all.
At that time, the identity of the sheath was that of the bishop of the Cyber Church. Although Russell didn't know if the sheath could do such a thing...... But the Cyber Church can bless others and heal wounds through the power of Holy Order, and this weak curse should be easily removed.
One proof of this is that Nanliujing's memory never shows Alice being weak and sick. Before the sheath left her, she didn't even get sick.
The next question is...... Why did the sheath leave Alice?
And why did Alice stay quietly on Sogo Island for more than 20 years?
Even if it's to hide your identity, it's been too long. For twenty years, the sheath never returned, and Lovely Lise never complained about him to Russell......
Moreover, if the sheath had betrayed the Tower of Babel by that time, then Alice's hermitage would have become unsafe.
Why didn't Alice evacuate?
Correspondingly, the third question is why the second spell on Alice was expanded to four, and the success rate suddenly increased.
Russell remembered that Alice wasn't the only one who died by a curse half a year ago.
"Doctor", "Du Juan", "Lycoris", "Aurora".
Within three months, four of the official members had been cursed and killed. And this is the motivation for Bad Day to try to contact Russell and pull him into the Tower of Babel for protection.
According to him and the deer head, the leak was made by a traitor associated with high-ranking insiders.
Bad Sun strongly suspects that the "sheath" of the Tower of Babel has betrayed, but there is no evidence. Russell at the time thought that this might be a prejudice, an arbitrary judgment mixed with his personal emotions.
Thinkers
And now, after seeing the "monkey-faced eagle", Russell suddenly realized - are the members of the Tower of Babel really so easy to betray the deer head?
The technology developed by the monkey-faced eagle is the same as that of a deer's head.
Next...... And the most critical question is.
Who the hell is that "betrayer"? Or is there really such a betrayer?
Looking back now, it had been twenty years since the sheath left the Tower of Babel.
Twenty years - can he really still get into the back door of the year?
Twenty years, this back door has really never been repaired or reset?
Moreover, what exactly is the back door of the Tower of Babel? Why is it only known to people at the top?
Today's Russell should be considered a high-level one. Whether it's status, origin, or ability...... His position within the Tower of Babel must be at least at the level of a cadre.
So, what distinguishes Russell from others?
Thinking for a moment about the "peripheral members" he had seen, Russell knew the answer.
- The only difference between the so-called "top of the Tower of Babel" and ordinary members of the Tower of Babel......
It depends on whether they have seen the body of the deer head with their own eyes.
