Chapter 20: Russell's Black History

「…… Actually, it was quite confusing that time. 「

When Russell heard this, he grimaced: "They do seem to be a couple, and they do have a good relationship. When I was given something to eat, I didn't feel malicious at all......

"Then why did you miss?" Delphinium asked.

"Because that couple is a relatively rare kind of person who is born with a very distorted view of the world and love. From the bottom of their hearts, they don't think this behavior is "evil", so the stupid cat doesn't sense it. He was only thirteen or fourteen years old at the time, and it was the time when he was overconfident in his abilities...... Because the number of successes is increasing, I gradually become more relaxed."

As the character of Wolf Sound on the arcade screen died again, he lazily let go of the hand holding the joystick, turned around and replied casually, "It was also from that time that the stupid cat was hit and stopped going out and bouncing...... It's that I don't go out if it's okay."

"Because before that time, I really trusted my own "talent".

Russell sighed, a little melancholy and a little nostalgic, and said, "You should understand, Flody. As soon as I first learned to read, the hearts of others were placed in front of me. It is no more difficult for me to read the minds of others than it is to read a book. For ordinary people, the hearts of others are always vague, and if they are not careful enough in their interactions, it will be easy to cross the line that should not be crossed. For me, I can see clearly where they are, what they prefer, and the limits of their patience. This is a technical game that "as long as you operate normally and don't get sick, you can pass the game stably".

"And for children who grow up in this environment, they are born "prodigies" who can read the minds of others. Naturally, there will be a loss of reverence for people's hearts."

At that time, Russell had not yet awakened the memory of his previous life, but he had already obtained the ability to temper his previous life to the extreme.

In psionic parlance, it's his redshift that has surpassed the blueshift—his rationality, cognitive faculties, and morals, his inability to control his ability to grow and spread like weeds. So he "swelled" as a matter of course.

That's when Russell's performance is the most abnormal, but it's when he is most like his peers.

I didn't know how to restrain my gifts, and I didn't know how to fear people. That's why I'm always able to wander within the limits of others...... Provoke others to the limit and then reassure them in turn. The more irritable, crazy, and dangerous people are, the more challenging and attractive they are for me...... Like a more difficult puzzle game, even if I could read the other person's heart, I had to choose the almost only correct answer to calm him down.

It's a dangerous game that only "I can play."

Russell whispered, "So, in a sense...... I'm actually quite grateful to the couple.

"A heart-wrenching defeat made me wake up directly———— I don't really understand the human heart, there are always people who are beyond my understanding and control. Since then, I have regained my awe for the human heart...... It is only then that they gradually become normal and act ethically.

"I use my abilities in reverse to transform myself into a posture that conforms to the public's aesthetics. In this way, you will be welcomed by others, instead of teasing others and manipulating people's hearts as you like."

If there had not been that defeat, Russell would not have encountered a bad day to unseal the memories of his past life...... He couldn't imagine that if he waited for such an arrogant self to mature and grow up and absorb all the knowledge in all fields, he would become the mastermind behind how to manipulate people's hearts and the world.

「…… It turns out that there are times when you are not mature enough. 「

Knowing Russell's unseemly black history when he was a child, Delphinium's voice became gentle.

She reached out and touched Russell, and thanked Wolf Yin from the bottom of her heart: "Thank you for saving Russell at that time."

"Hey, nothing. If it's really an ordinary person, I don't bother to care. 「

The middle-aged elf, who was strong in physique, uttered a ruthless and lazy voice: "Lady Alice treats my brothers and fetches them guns. I promised her that I would take good care of her son and that nothing would happen to him."

「…… Aren't you a bar owner? 「

Actually, the delphinium wanted to say, "Tune

Winemaker", but she thought about it、It seems that an elf should not be engaged in such a simple job。

Maybe this bar is his?

"He's a rocker, to be precise."

Russell defeated the boss alone, dragging the resurrected wolf voice into the next level: "Hey, you're alive, don't get distracted———— it is said that he was kidnapped by a notorious gang back then, but relying on his rock music, he inexplicably became the boss of the gang. And he is incapable of fighting...... He became an elf because of his ability as a bard.

"In other words, he didn't become the boss by being able to fight. That's what I thought was the most awesome about him when I was a kid.

"Did you see that? Now the people who drink in the house are all from the gang. The bar actually closed at four o'clock, and I only came down to play games with him after he had rested."

"No wonder you don't shy away from talking about these things......

Delphinium suddenly.

It was then that she noticed that they were playing a game console that she had never seen before: "You guys...... Don't you need gaming glasses?"

"Hey, you don't understand. It's an antique, not an ordinary antique. When it's on earth, it's a thousand-year-old antique."

Wolf Yin said triumphantly, "This is said to be the most primitive game console from one or two thousand years ago—"

"Listen to him blow."

Russell said mercilessly, "It's going to be a thousand or two thousand years later, and this thing will be useless for a long time. Not to mention one or two thousand years, not one or two hundred years.

"This is an imitation———— or an imitation made after the Sky Island era.

"If it's the real thing, even if it's an antique that was imitated on the ground, you can't just take it out and play with it. It's even more impossible to just put it in the corner of the bar.

"And if you want me to say, maybe the consultant or the boss who made this thing has seen this thing...... This screen is also similar, but he has definitely not played it.

"But whether it's the feel and durability of the handle and the keys———— I've been tearing this handle frantically for 20 years, and it's not broken at all, and there is even vibration feedback, do you think this is like a technology from 2,000 years ago? And this extremely smooth hardware performance, which is the technology of the empty island period.

"I won't talk about this game, this game is all freshly made!***The background of the game in the antique game from 2,000 years ago is that you can beat *** people on the empty island?"

Russell sprayed into the place of passion and scolded the dirty words directly.

Hearing Russell's swearing, the delphinium pinched Russell's tail lightly as punishment.

She finally understood why Russell was so familiar with those *** criminal organizations......

"Hey, she didn't see the plot again. You're going to make me brag......

"It's not that I don't want you to blow it, it's that your cow is so outrageous that I can't pad it. The later you debunk, the more embarrassed you become, and I'm here to help you......

"Then don't look at me, come and save me—"

"Don't die so fast, big brother! At least make it alive to meet the boss!!"

"No, I'd better put in a coin......

"Don't!! This is your chance, and you have an infinite life. It's empty to pile up your life, right...... I'll give you another life, don't die so fast......

"Then you can give me another piece of equipment......

Russell and Wolf Yin are arguing like good brothers, while fiercely manipulating the game characters in front of them, and their voices are getting louder and louder.

As the pace of the game suddenly accelerated, neither of them had the leisure to turn back and continue to talk and chat with Delphinium.

Although he has been complaining about the technical dishes of the wolf sound, and the lack of concentration in playing games... But Delphinium had never seen it before, and Russell would have so much fun playing games.

He usually plays games when he has time, and the quality of the game on Happiness Island undoubtedly crushes this kind of "imitation antique" for more than one era.

Whether it's a first-person fantasy war at the level of thousands of troops, or a giant with more than 50 empty islands

The adventure of the continent, or the multiplayer competitive puzzle game that runs a variety of puzzle or horror genre dungeons with different contents, or the luxury sports such as skiing, bungee jumping, racing, surfing, etc., which are fully simulated and felt, or the "life customization" game that simply interprets the other side of life......

Russell loves to play. But he was all lying on the bed alone, huddled in the sofa and playing quietly.

Delphinium had never seen him shouting or kicking his legs excitedly. I didn't hear him talk to himself about the game with great interest———— Delphinium had heard it on the Internet, and boys who really liked games would often chat like this with their girlfriends. Delphinium has long been mentally prepared and even faintly expectant, but Russell has never talked to her about this kind of "incomprehensible" straight man topic.

Among the topics he and Delphinium have talked about, the closest thing to this kind of straight male topic is the exchange of cyber security knowledge on both sides. Compared with Russell, it is the Delphinium herself who will talk more seriously and up-to-the-head......

Although his "little boyfriend" is only three years older than him, he looks like he is younger than himself. But he usually seems so mature, reliable and steady, never willful, let alone quarreling with himself.

Of course, this is also very good, but it is always a pity that I did not grow up with each other, and I always feel a pity to see Russell who is not mature enough and what he looked like when he was young.

And now, follow Russell on a tour of the place where he grew up...... The delphinium finally made up for the lesson she had been waiting for for a long time.

In the dimly lit corner of the bar in the early morning, Russell, who was as happy as a child, played games noisily with his elders who watched him grow up and his old friends. The man sleeping on the sofa snored loudly, the drinking couple pointed at the side and chuckled from time to time, and the two men who had been drinking all night on their shoulders also came over with the smell of alcohol.

They politely kept a long distance away from the delphinium to prevent the smell of alcohol from reaching her. The two of them just looked at the screens of the two "antique arcade machines" and pointed at the stupid operation of their nominal "boss", ———— Wolf Yin.

At this time, the "old screen" with a very low refresh rate seems to be less dazzling at this time.

The corners of the delphinium's mouth unconsciously rose slightly, revealing a gentle smile.

She wants to imprint this rare and unforgettable beautiful scene deeply into her heart.
