Listening to the delphinium and cinnabar chatting, Russell sighed secretly, and lost his mind for a while.

- Because his relationship with Lucaon is actually quite good.

It's not the friendliness that Rosso usually "treats everyone" and disguises himself with a mask.

It's that the relationship is really good.

Only two people in their class were admitted to Chong University. One is Russell, and the other is Lucaon.

Although they are no longer in the same class, they are in the same major and the same college. They all belong to the "School of Information Security and Intelligence Control", and one of Russell's double degrees came from the "Information Security and Protection" major.

After all, their knowledge and personal level of education are on the same level. That is, it is very rare, "to be able to catch up with your friends."

It's actually very difficult to have such a friend.

Russell has lived two lives, and he knows this very well. No matter how good a friend you used to be, if at some point you suddenly can't catch up with you, or you can't catch up, the friendship will have a huge rift.

It is not a "abandonment" based on snobbery, but because of the contradiction and conflict of the living environment! "Embarrassment"

In the past, when I was in school, everyone was exposed to similar things, and the things we could talk about were endless; But after graduating, it becomes a life of its own. And if the lives of friends are too different, then they will lose their common language when they meet again.

At that point, you can only start to "miss your student days" endlessly, or you can just barely find "things that everyone likes to play". After asking several topics, you can barely find a common topic that most people can talk about.

And even if you just talk about your current life, it is easy to make the mentally unbalanced mentality of students who are fragile and overstressed, or it is impossible for students who are high up and do not eat fireworks in the world to understand and cannot be substituted.

Those who like to work hard, those who don't like to work hard; rule-abiding, habitually rebellious; Optimist, pessimistic..... Friends who were similar in the past will eventually become different.

Even elementary school classmates can become distant after they reach high school; Friends from junior high school are difficult to contact when they get to college. Not to mention going from school to society, participating in different jobs and going to different circles.

If former friends want to continue to be friends, at least one of them must choose to accommodate the other person, talk only about topics that interest the other person, or simply find a way to fit into the other person's circle of interest.

But that's not "the kind of friend you used to be" anymore. Friendship has finally gone sour...... From two-way and mutually tolerant, to one-way and accommodating.

Even if it is accommodating each other - when two people hold each other to "maintain this relationship" and try to communicate, that kind of relaxed friendship becomes the fatigue of socializing.

It's like a wrong marriage that has been exhausted and barely reached the limit, but both parties have to desperately maintain it.

However, marriage still has children as a bond, and this barely maintained friendship relationship is really illusory. As long as there is a small contradiction, it will disappear completely and never be seen again.

Russell met a lot of such friends when he was in college. After all, on Sogo Island, there are few people who can be admitted to Sogo University who are not talents - everyone is a talent starter, mixed with sporadic geniuses and ghosts.

But the earliest one Russell knew was Lycaon, who came from high school.

At that time, Russell had not yet awakened the memories of his previous life, and he was actually a student with some abnormal talents and inexplicable knowledge that he understood.

He really cared about the friendship between his classmates at that time.

So from the very beginning, Russell valued Lycaon very much.

- Because Lucaon is the kind of person who can keep up with Russell.

He himself has the talent of "scientist", and he also has a very classic "scholar's disease"

In other words, one of the reasons why he was hated and alienated by his classmates

It's that he has a promise in him

What kind of problems scientists have when they were young. His group is not on the stage precisely because he is too smart.

Russell was worried at one point that Lycaon would be depressed because of this. So I wanted to enlighten him in the past.

As a result, Lu Kaon, a real high school student, said a long sentence that Luo did not expect: "I don't hate them, I just pity them from the bottom of my heart.

"They are so afraid of their own incompetence, of the future that they will be reduced to the inferior people in society.... The harm they did to me only made me feel that their death was near. It's not that they're going to die, it's that their future possibilities are going to die.

"Although I may not be able to go far myself, I may not be able to persist in a few rounds of teacher selection if I do join the Sogo Group. But I'm sure I'll be farther than them—and much farther, at least within the Sogo group, and I think it's okay until I'm in my forties. By then, I have been able to accumulate enough money and strength, and they will live in a state of confusion, losing all light.

"I've been staring at them, not remembering their faces and seeking revenge...... It's trying to make the other person hesitate through his eyes, and then he starts to reflect.

This is my kindness to them – if they can realize that something is wrong, that they are naïve and foolish, and start to reflect on their actions, they will be saved. There may be a bright future ahead, and they will thank me then.

"And if they remain confused and unconscious, then I am watching them go into destruction. If I know that they are already dead, why should I bother with them?"

If we want to say how correct and mature what Lycaon said, it is not necessarily. Strictly speaking, there is still a bit of secondary two.

But as a high school student, I can not just talk about it, but understand this truth from the bottom of my heart - I can look at the real "future", not just see the "college entrance examination", "university", "after graduation", and can accurately judge how far I can go with my own talents, instead of blindly holding infinite self about my future... This is very rare.

And later, after Russell and Lucaon actually went to Sogo University, he realized that Lucaon was still humble.

- It turned out that the level of Sogo University was not as high as he thought, so that he could become the chief without having to go all out. And Lucaon's talent is about seventy percent that of Russell...... He may not be able to come down after a few rounds of screening, and he may even have the opportunity to enter the Zanbai Society and become a Zenbai Doctor before the age of fifty. Lycaon may have underestimated himself because the only person he could refer to at that time was Russell.

When Russell left Sogo, he didn't know that Lycaon was dead at that time - because half a year before that, he had already joined the Sogo Group as a graduate student and began to climb the ladder. At that time, Russell was worried that it would affect Lucaon's exam questions, and he was also worried that his friends would keep him, so he just left a regular email and ran away.

And after arriving at Happiness Island and joining the Special Operations Department, Russell was still thinking that he could be promoted faster than Lucaon and not be too embarrassed.

When he came back this time, he also wanted to chat with his old friend.

The full name of Sogo Group is "Sogo Technology Group", and the core source of talent of Sogo Group is the School of Information Security and Intelligence Control. Russell has always been the head of their college and is pursuing a double major in "Prosthetic Fitting and Maintenance" and "Information Security and Protection". And Lucaon can also rank in the top five of stable majors in the information security major - the top five majors in the case of the first stable occupation by Russell.

At his level, it has been a year since he graduated from graduate school...... Probably already established in the Sogo Group. Russell came back in the uniform of the top executive department this time, and he also wanted to show off his old friend.

For ordinary friends, this kind of behavior will be somewhat offensive and a little inflated, and it is really possible to separate the relationship between the two. But for true friends, the annoyance of this ostentation is only a façade of joy.

Saying goes

Well said, I am afraid that my brother will have a hard time, and I am afraid that my brother will drive a Land Rover, but if he is a sincere brother, even if he really drives a Land Rover back, then after the initial slight sourness and imbalance, what hits my heart will never be jealousy, but "pride". That's the pride of taking my brother's achievements as my own.

But now, Russell has really returned home... The friend he wanted to show off to the most had already been killed.

And listening to the meaning of cinnabar, it seems that it is not sure whether it was killed by someone. This means ...... If Lycaon was killed, then the murderer was not found at all.

- This is on Sogo Island!

It's Sogo Island, which can even be predicted in advance and is completely controlled by the Three Sages!

But on the contrary, not a single murder case could be solved.

Or ...... In fact, the three sages have solved the riddle, but they think it is better not to reveal the truth?

In any case, Russell had to look it up.

This reunion is the best opportunity...... They must know better!
