Overturned Tower

Lookout didn't answer immediately.

After he sat down, he lowered his head and rested it on his hands, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhanwang smiled bitterly and explained in a low voice: "As you get older, all the negative effects of psychic disease start to appear.

"Now I feel a little dizzy after standing for a long time, and running and other activities are no longer possible. My neck is so long. When my body fails, one of the heart or the brain must have problems first."

"You don't look old."

Russell is very good at talking: "He also speaks in a young voice, like a young man in his thirties."

"This is probably the only benefit of severe mental illness. In fact, I am almost sixty."

Lookout chuckled: "The way humans judge aging is mainly based on skin and hair color. Obviously there are very few people who can judge age by observing the color of animal fur."

He paused and sighed with some nostalgia: "Your mother should be Alice."

……Um?

Russell was startled.

Do you know my mother too?

After understanding Russell's doubts, Zhanwang smiled: "Many people of our generation know her.

"On the first day you arrived at Happy Island, when you became a hero and were interviewed by Xiao Liuli, many people already recognized you.

"The scum among the heroes did not go to trouble you because they had already been warned once."

"...Looking for trouble?"

Russell narrowed his eyes slightly: "Can you tell me in detail."

"Your look is more like it. Killing intent, elegant but not violent."

Lookout sighed: "Speaking of which, my son has pursued your mother before. But that boy was so useless. He is younger than your mother and regards her as a senior. He is not smart enough and timid. I can’t save my face...I have issued a death sentence to myself before even getting on the track.”

"I'm talking about how those heroes plan to cause trouble for me."

Russell reminded.

He finally realized that Zhanwang was indeed old.

While chatting, I unconsciously wandered off and began to miss the past... This is indeed a unique characteristic of the elderly.

"Don't worry about that kind of thing. Since you didn't encounter any trouble in the first month, it means that everything has been pressed for you."

Lookout laughed, trying to cover up his previous gaffe.

But after being stared at by Russell for a while, he still smiled helplessly: "Let's put it this way, you probably didn't join the Hero Club."

"what is that?"

"A small group formed spontaneously by heroes."

Lookout sneered: "To put it simply, it is the kind of small group used by idols to compete for the C position. Veteran heroes who can speak well will allocate the order of limelight to everyone and suppress the heroes who are too popular. If anyone has recently If there is too much news on the news, if the popularity is too high, suppress it and replace it with another person... to prevent everyone from worshiping only one hero. The worship of the 'hero' will be skewed to the worship of a certain person. At the same time, they will also promote each other's popularity. the design of.

"Seeing that you are in the news so frequently, I guessed that you probably didn't join the hero club. Otherwise, they would have asked you not to go out, or they would have asked you to drag other heroes on camera together to show your praise for the newcomers. and respect for the elderly.”

"...It sounds disgusting."

Russell commented mercilessly: "Mediocre design."

He thought of something and asked, "Then...is Mr. Emperor also in there?"

"He is considered one of the founders, but he has not been taking care of things recently. He has also begun to give some opportunities to shine to young people."

Lookout shook his head: "Although the Hero Club has been around for a long time, in fact, these young and new heroes have caused more trouble recently. Although the old heroes are very stubborn and rely on their old age, at least there is nothing wrong with their stance."

"You say that, does that mean there is something wrong with the new hero's stance?"

"Yes."

Lookout said in a deep voice: "I suspect that this matter may be related to a certain hero.

"The hero supported by the directors of Shenzhi Heavy Industry's Xingfu Island Branch is codenamed 'Tisong'. He is a young hero who is just thirty years old this year."

"Do you also think it was done by Shenzhi Heavy Industry?"

"not completely."

The old giraffe replied cautiously: "I'm not sure about their motives. It's just that regarding this explosion site, I'm more suspicious of him.

"Tiansong is also a psyker. And he is a psyker who awakened spontaneously... Because he was hailed as a hero by the director of Sanshin Heavy Industries at the beginning of his awakening, he was not asked to leave by our group.

"His psychic power is able to move the location of the explosion and control the scale of the explosion - when he first awakened his psychic power, he moved an explosion arranged by the criminals in the Lower City to the outside and indirectly saved Hundreds of people have become 'heroes' for this feat."

"Speaking of which..."

Hearing this, Russell suddenly interrupted Wang Wang's words: "Did you know that something happened to Miss Bingshui on her way here?"

"It was hit by a big truck controlled by a pilot, right?"

Lookout frowned, lowered his head and pushed up his glasses: "I'm not too sure here either.

"No matter how you say it, this matter is a bit too rough. If you want to investigate, you will be able to find out the person who did it sooner or later. But when Miss Bai Xue had an accident, the arrangement was very clever... so much so that until now, we don't know who she is. Why did he commit suicide by jumping off the building? I don’t know who specifically did it.”

"Then do you know that this matter is related to the incident investigated by Miss Bai Xue?"

"Probably related."

Wang Wang's attitude is very conservative: "But I can't be completely sure. It may be a coincidence. There is also the possibility that someone wants to use this method to frame the blame and divert attention.

"I called you here because I have a theory..."

"You say."

"I'm wondering...if this is their purpose. Or one of the purposes is to let Miss Bingshui handle this matter.

"Because Miss Bai Xue has actually been investigating the matter for some time. But when she jumped from the building, it happened to be shortly after Miss Bingshui's live broadcast came to the city.

"Originally, Miss Bingshui might not be able to become the chief, but she was 100% sure from that live broadcast... This is also a critical time point."

"Must it be Miss Icewater?"

Russell frowned.

This angle of observation was something he had never thought of before: "Is there anything special about Bing Shui..."

Soon, he realized something.

And he also knew why Zhanwang was suspicious of Mr. "Tisong".

"...because of the emperor?"

If we say the most special thing about Miss Bingshui...that is her origin.

She is the only daughter of the veteran hero "Emperor".

That emperor penguin acted steadily and rationally, and had a very high reputation on the entire Happy Island. Even human directors have to talk to him as an equal.

If the attack on the ice water was actually to influence the emperor through the ice water, it would indeed make sense.

But in that case, what Delphinium found out about the "dust gap" cannot be justified...

I always feel like things are getting bigger and bigger, and things that were once clear have become blurry again.

Now that all forces are gradually getting involved, the full picture of the matter has begun to become somewhat unclear.

"Can I borrow the bathroom?"

Russell made up his mind and asked.

Wang Wang pushed up his glasses and replied kindly: "Go out and turn left... You can use it as you like, it doesn't matter how long it takes. I will wait here for you to come back."

This kind of human spirit...or rather, giraffe spirit, immediately guessed that Russell wanted to avoid him and do something.

But anyway, what needs to be said has been said, and he can still provide a cover for Russell. This is more or less a small favor.

Russell borrowed the bathroom, not because he planned to call Delphinium to ask about something... but because he planned to use the "power of opening the door" of the deer-headed statue to take the time to go back to the lower city.

This matter requires strangulation... No, strangulation will not do. He has no brain.

——You have to let the malt wine help.

As for strangulation...

Let him pick up the bad guy.

This time, maybe the inferior one will be used.
