Overturned Tower

It was completely dark, and rain began to fall outside the window.

The rain hit the windows of the Special Enforcement Department, making a clear clicking sound.

Although more than half of the employees in the Execution Department building have gone off work, the office of the Special Execution Department is still brightly lit.

The inferior one leans on the bookshelf near the door,

[Minister, what did Ultramarine say? 】

Seeing Delphinium raising its head again, the Inferior sent a text message to Delphinium.

Delphinium shook her head: "He said...if I encounter such difficulties, he will come to help me."

Hearing this, the inferior frowned.

[How did you ask? 】

"I told him that this matter involves an investigation of history, about the Tower of Babel and the dragon, and is very dangerous... but you and I will help him."

[You should directly ask him to withdraw from the investigation]

Delphinium sighed: "Now that I have said it to this extent, I even hinted that you and I will be in danger, and that I have some kind of affection for him. But he still has no idea of ​​quitting this mission... Then I can’t continue to force him to quit.”

[What is coercion? 】

The Inferior cast his sharp gaze on Delphinium for the first time, his tight lips showing an angry curve.

【This is to protect him! We clearly found out that the mortality rate of all those investigating that case was almost 100%, right? 】

[You can stop him directly in your own name...it doesn't matter if you deceive him, it's all for his own good. He will understand later]

"You mean, 'for his own good'?"

Delphinium raised its head and looked at the inferior.

Her eyes were complicated: "This is not a good word, inferior. You may not have such experience... but this often arouses the other person's rebellious psychology.

"What's more, if I forcibly order Ultramarine to terminate the investigation, it would be tantamount to killing Miss Bingshui with my own hands. How could I do such a thing?

"There is no doubt that what she did was the right thing and she was innocent - she was not even trying to investigate this matter. Russell acted to protect others and I cannot undermine his good intentions."

[So you put Russell in danger? 】

The inferior replied mercilessly: [I don’t care about ice water. I don’t know that person, and I don’t want to know him. I just want to ensure Ultramarine’s absolute safety. No matter what he is for...]

[Even if he is about to step into a dangerous situation, I will drag him out]

"...Don't you think that your behavior is starting to sound a bit like a rough 'father'?"

Delphinium finally said it.

She looked directly at the bad guy: "You used to hate your father so much. You hated his restriction on you, and you thought that 'fate' restricted your freedom. But now... after he dies, you will also start to become Did he?"

Hearing this, the expression of the inferior froze.

Only then did he suddenly realize what he had just said.

"You bad guy, Ultramarine will not hesitate to confront Director Kamalser for you. I hope you can know that if he does not have the determination to put his own safety elsewhere and step into danger for the sake of justice and friendship, he will also There would be no freedom from fate that you now have.

“What he’s doing now is even less dangerous than what he did with Director Kamalser. But you’re preventing him from doing the same thing.

"Do you think you have some kind of speciality? That you are more suitable to receive the help of ultramarine than ice water?"

Delphinium, who has always been soft-spoken, for the first time, her words became sharper and her voice gradually became louder.

The inferior stood up straight and walked away from the bookshelf.

He paced the room anxiously.

[It is precisely because I accepted his help and accepted the love that will never end in my life that I hope he will not be harmed]

Although Ultramarine didn't say anything, the Inferior and Delphinium were not stupid.

They have now guessed that the death of Kamalse must be related to Russell.

Russell did this and freed him from the shackles of his own destiny, but he didn't even take credit for it - obviously he could even become the "master" of the inferior. He was willing to spend the rest of his life repaying this kindness.

Although it looks similar to the restraints of Kamaltha, the essence is completely different.

On the one hand, it is an imposed bondage, and on the other hand, it is voluntary repayment. The latter is exactly the "power of choice" pursued by the inferior.

But it is precisely because Russell did not seek repayment for his great kindness... This kind of rescue without expecting repayment made the inferior fall into confusion.

Like a kite's string being cut off and the balloon flying into the sky - the moment of freedom brings about destruction.

"What he did was right."

Delphinium stared at the inferior one without giving in: "Miss Bai Xue is just investigating the truth of the unsolved case. Is she wrong? Miss Bingshui broadcast the war between the angels and the uncoded ones live, protecting Miss Xia and letting people know the truth. She even stopped the war, was she wrong?

"She became the chief because of her excellence. Is Tian'en Daily wrong? She encountered a life threat without doing anything and came to seek help from a trustworthy senior - Ultramarine also ignored her own safety and decided to Help her solve this problem. What did Ultramarine do wrong?

"If there is something wrong, it is also the fault of the unknown force that assassinated Miss Bai Xue. Russell is right, he is walking on the right path. So I want to help him..."

[But the fact is, we don’t even know who is behind the scenes. But we can save Ultramarine... and keep him out of danger]

"You and I both know that it is impossible to leave danger forever. With his character, he will eventually get involved in danger, because he is such a character that he cannot turn a blind eye to injustice... If you prevent every adventure he takes , then he is no longer ultramarine.

"——It's impossible for you to go down the same road again."

Delphinium said word for word.

This was the first time she had quarreled with a bad person since she came to the Special Enforcement Department.

"You often do such dangerous things without regard for your own safety. You cannot prevent others from doing the same thing as you."

[Come on, I don’t have any sense of justice]

The inferior smiled to himself.

[I was just seeking death... I was deliberately looking for dangerous things to do]

"--lie."

Delphinium replied without hesitation: "If you are just seeking danger, you have plenty of things to do. But you still chose to use your life to help others.

"You will be angry because of unjust things. This is evidence that you have a righteous heart. What you have to do is to support Ultramarine with me."

The inferior fell silent.

He looked much more haggard.

[But, I can't do it...I no longer have psychic powers]

Delphinium looked straight at him, her eyes finally softened.

"...Is this your real reason?

"Because you can no longer protect him. You are worried that something will happen to Russell before you regain your psychic powers, but you can only watch and can't do anything...right?"

The inferior remains silent.

[I still hate heroes...]

...because heroes always leave without saying goodbye.

Just like the bad guy, the hero I once saw in the Special Operations Department.

That was the first minister he met when he came to the Special Execution Department.

The bad guy at that time was still a crazy and paranoid young man with no "heart of justice" at all.

The bad guy that Delphinium saw was already in the form after that.

Fortunately or unfortunately, the bad guy met an optimistic, cheerful, righteous, and powerful man who fulfilled all his fantasies about his "father" at that time.

That is also the deepest fear hidden in the heart of the inferior.

[Because heroes... always die badly. 】

His words were filled with fear and hatred.
