Overturned Tower

When the Paradise Bird just woke up, Russell took a picture of the Paradise Bird's sleepy and confused expression on Delphinium, and sent the screenshot to her as an emoticon package.

Delphinium is also taking a nap over there.

She would lie down on the table and take a nap every noon... This was a habit left over from her days in school.

When you have a little bit of free time, you can use the fragmented time to take a nap. This will ensure you have enough energy.

This makes the delphinium fall asleep very quickly, and it takes only ten minutes for it to take a nap. But it also makes Delphinium sleep relatively lightly, and can wake up at the slightest movement.

...Only yesterday, when I was huddled on the sofa with Russell, I accidentally fell asleep so deeply that I couldn't wake up.

"Ah wu..."

She was awakened by the email Russell sent her. After she woke up, she yawned, straightened her hair, and prepared to wash her face and start moving.

She had discussed it with Russell before and was going to go directly to the "prototype" home.

At the same time, you can also exercise the paradise bird - this is what Delphinium and Russell have just discussed.

Bird of Paradise is born with a talent for pleasing people, just like Russell. If Russell were to act with her, it would be easy for people to relax their vigilance.

And the combination of cuteness and cuteness is more than twice the cuteness... This is called the cute fusion effect.

And Birds of Paradise can fill in what Russell is most missing.

Because the birds of paradise can really fight...

The only abilities that Russell can use as "Ultramarine" are the Insurrection Weapon and Saint's Beheading, followed by his cat-like reaction speed and agile and light body.

He had explained to Delphinium before that his strongest power could only be used by his "godfather" status.

An ability that ignores flammability and directly burns any object it comes into contact with... while also being able to ignore most physical attacks.

But once that ability is used, it will leave traces that are easily identifiable.

Because it was not a real flame, as long as colleagues from the trace section of the execution department came to check it, they would be able to find the problem.

Therefore, once Russell wants to use all his strength, he must silence him and destroy everything around him to erase the traces.

But Birds of Paradise is different.

Her abilities are completely "clean" and she even has the privilege of killing.

Of course, this privilege is not granted by the company or the church, but is based on "consensus."

Everyone knows that the power of Holy Orders can only be possessed by good and righteous people. And once corrupted, it dissipates quickly.

From this perspective, although the Paradise Bird is not a "hero", it essentially enjoys the same power as a hero.

As a living saint of the church, if she kills anyone, people will definitely think it is the other person's fault, and her actions must be just. Unless there is some hard evidence to prove that she has been corrupted from the very beginning... But this is very difficult.

If you want to exonerate ordinary people, you need to find evidence that they are innocent, otherwise they will be guilty by default; while heroes and saints need to find ironclad evidence of their crimes, otherwise they cannot be convicted anyway - it is impossible for a company Risk publicity and diplomacy to arrest a saint.

Although the Bird of Paradise looks kind and cute, she is really a bishop. As a bishop, it is not because her Holy Order power only reaches the level of a bishop, but because she is too young and has too little qualifications.

Even Cardinal, Bird of Paradise can defeat half of them.

When she first awakened the power of the Holy Order, she was able to fight against many psykers on her own without any equipment or training. But now that she has been trained and armed by the church, this seemingly harmless girl may be the most capable of fighting in the Special Enforcement Department.

Delphinium bound her and Russell as an investigation team in order to protect Russell's safety.

Now the bad ones are gone...

If Russell encountered another problem while investigating outside, it would be difficult for her to help him.

Delphinium is capable of fighting - although her psychic powers are not suitable for combat, the transformation through psychic weapons is not too weak, and it is not meaningless to persist in exercising on weekdays. But her combat effectiveness will not be much higher than Russell's, and may not be as good as Russell's full strength... If she wants to exert the greatest effect, she has to apply for mechas from the company. And that thing is obviously not suitable for the positioning of emergency responders.

With new human resources, Delphinium designated the two angels as a combat team, and bound Russell and Paradise Bird as an investigation team.

In this way, if Russell and Paradise Bird are in danger, Paradise Bird can at least hold on for a while - at least until the angel arrives.

In addition, Delphinium has its own thoughts in mind.

In her eyes, the church has always been an outsider... They joined the Special Execution Department only because of the church's deal with the company. If you can join now, you can leave tomorrow.

But since there are more than half of the church members in the team, if something goes wrong on Russell's side...for example, if an innocent person is accidentally injured, or a suspected demon is killed, the blame can also be thrown to the Cyber ​​Church.

Although Russell is a hero, he is immune to the pressure of public opinion to a certain extent. But this is not the kind of saving throw that is completely ineffective, but the damage is accumulated.

The Internet has memory. If the accumulated negative public opinion is gathered in a subsequent incident, it will still be easy to hurt Russell.

Although there is no such sign at present... Delphinium believes that she must take precautions and carefully manage Russell's image.

In Happy Island, the "hero" is the idol with the highest purity. But as an idol, Russell doesn't have an "agent"... How is this possible?

There are certain things that if idols say or do, it will destroy their character.

But if it's a broker, it's no problem.

It is necessary to make arrangements for Russell in advance before he has any problems, so as to avoid the harm caused to him when problems occur in the future.

And this organization, which was used to vent "pressure" and give her a way to prepare for Russell in advance, was chosen by Delphinium as the church.

But what Delphinium didn't expect was that the plan she just arranged for Russell... took effect in less than two hours.

Not long after Russell and Paradise Bird left the barbecue restaurant...

To be precise, as soon as they left the gate, they were suddenly stopped by a suspicious person.

He was wearing a black cloak like a raincoat. Under the cloak, his face was red, he wore sunglasses, and his face and neck were covered with sweat.

"Ultramarine...right?"

He made a low and hoarse voice and took off his cloak and sunglasses, revealing his brilliant short golden hair and red and bloodshot eyes: "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

The man had obviously been waiting at the entrance of the barbecue restaurant for a long time, just to wait for Russell to come out.

Russell raised his eyebrows, knowing that the person coming was evil: "I can tell that I have been waiting for a long time..."

Today is August 23rd, which is midsummer.

But this person didn't know that the bird of paradise slept inside. Since he was sure that Russell was here, he must have watched him go in.

Wearing a heavy black cloak, he stood from about twelve o'clock at noon to almost three o'clock in the afternoon...

After he took off his cloak, Russell also recognized the other party's identity.

Because just this morning, he had seen this person's photo.

"What do you want from me, God sent?"

"I want to talk to you alone."

Tiansong replied word for word: "Just me and you."

He stared at Russell intently. He stretched out his hand and tapped himself, then pointed at Russell.

Seeing that his fingers were almost pointing at Russell's eyes, the Paradise Bird next to him suddenly frowned.

But Russell was not angry.

"Add more children, I have to send this child back. I can't worry about leaving her here alone..."

He just smiled and said: "And it won't be troublesome to add her, right? Then where should we talk? A coffee shop? I think it would be a bit noisy in a bar, or..."

Russell's words suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking.

Tiansong opened his cloak, and a matte roll as thick as a finger was tied inside. There is also a timer with numbers on his chest that remains motionless and displays "30". That timer is directly connected to his prosthetic body interface.

"To avoid some unfriendly misunderstandings... let me explain in advance. It is connected to my chip and will explode as soon as I think about it.

"Even if you can silently erase my consciousness or put me to sleep, it will explode thirty seconds after I stop maintaining my psychic powers. If my heartbeat stops, it will explode immediately.

“And it may not be powerful enough...but at least it’s enough to blow up this street.

"What's the best part? Even if it blows up, I won't die...the bomb won't hurt me."

Tiansong looked at Russell, who suddenly fell silent, and the Paradise Bird beside him who couldn't help but gasp, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Like a victor, he smiled and declared: "Don't go too far, just find a store on this street. If you want to take her with you, then take her with you.

"Or, you want to take me directly back to the Special Enforcement Department's office? That's okay with me."

Russell looked at him silently, losing all the smile on his face.

The pupils are as deep as a quiet lake, and looking quietly like an abyss.

"Can."

He cherished his words and replied: "You choose."
