Overturned Tower

Russell shook his head slightly and sighed.

Miss Ringo is still too young.

In other words, her talents are indeed insufficient and her social experience is lacking...

——So much so that he didn’t notice the true intention of “Professor Chen” from this extremely obvious and deliberate arrangement.

She does know a lot of things, is somewhat smart, and is also very perseverant.

But she didn't have anything she wanted to do, and she didn't have any clear plans for her life - that deep-seated confusion was like Russell's when he first came to Happy Island. My steps were frivolous as I walked above the clouds, stumbling forward in the mist.

Precisely because the two of them are similar in all aspects...Russell can guess her thoughts without even needing to imitate Ringo's thoughts.

Ringo and Russell really look alike.

In other words, they are actually the same type of people at heart.

They are also abandoned people - you know, Russell was also rejected by his parents in his previous life, and he also had the same fear and shadow in his heart. And now they also have a strong heart and can follow the path they have decided without hesitation.

Moreover, they all decided to disguise themselves and make themselves look more lovable after being traumatized when they were young...

The difference is that Russell is slightly stronger than Ringo in all aspects.

Russell is more than just likable. He is not always in a weak, follower position, but can gradually acquire the other person's characteristics and talents through imitation and learning, and then take away the other person's position in the social circle.

But Ringo can always only be a follower and a pet.

On the other hand, Russell was able to rely on his own talents to gain the attention of the elf directors. He graduated with the highest grades from the most exclusive university and has now become a big shot... while Ringo can only survive in the execution department cautiously and is They are used as consumables and exploited as chess pieces.

Russell and Ringo also share the same laziness and arrogance deep in their hearts - the blood of people like them is not hot, but warm, like wine warmed by a fire.

When they deceive some big shots through their acting, and after establishing a good relationship with them, a shadow called "arrogance" will arise deep in their hearts. They will mistakenly think that their status has been improved, as if they have really become some great person.

Only by having the memory of being reincarnated can Russell break free from this illusion. Ringo, on the other hand, lacks this kind of introspection - so she is really lazy and chooses to use her talents to avoid the kind of sublimation that is destined to be painful.

She clearly has her own unique talent - the ability to discern desires and confuse people's hearts. She originally had the aptitude to be a seductive "witch" like Malt Liquor, but due to her inferiority and laziness, she fell into the trap and was not fully developed.

A person like her can only be dragged out of a safe area if she has experienced severe pain or extremely strong stimulation. Forcing her to face up to her talents, she painfully tried to break out of her cocoon.

This is the common saying that blackening is three times stronger. Not everyone has the chance to become three times stronger after turning black. Even if a primary school student turns black, he can only add an underworld filter to himself... People who have no talent at all, no matter how painful and crazy they are, can only be called incompetent rage. .

Thinking of this, Russell shook his head and decided to help a little.

Just because the two of them are the same kind...and because of the stories she told.

Even if Russell only stopped at Sun Island for one night, he has already gained knowledge of Sun Island by recreating Ringo's personality and listening to Ringo's narration. This saved Russell a lot of time and prevented him from stopping at Sun Island for another round of observation and research on his return trip.

"Do you think...that Professor Chen doesn't know your thoughts?"

Russell sighed and looked into Ringo's somewhat stunned eyes: "Let's put it this way, Miss Ringo.

"When a big shot to you puts forward an ambiguous task request to you - and personally says that the matter may be successful or unsuccessful, then his expectations are actually unsuccessful. .

"It's not that he doesn't have confidence in you. On the contrary, he has a lot of confidence in you...the confidence to mess things up. Instead of expecting you to succeed and being mentally prepared for your failure."

"……What?"

"No matter what he thinks in his heart...as long as he expects a successful result, he will definitely have strict requirements on you. Rather, the more Professor Chen thinks that you will have problems, the more severe and even direct he will be to you. Issue threats so that you can get the best possible results. As for when you are unable to meet the work requirements, I will take the opportunity to push and beat you more after returning, or I will choose to forgive you to gain your gratitude. That's his choice.

"There is an old saying in Taoyuan Island. It's called 'If you take the method from the top, you can only be in the middle; if you take the method in the middle, it will be the bottom'. It's just like when you take an exam, you rush to take the test with ninety points, and rush to be the first in the class. If you take the exam, you may only be able to get eighth place; and if you think that you can get into the top five, it will be fine. If you fail, you may not even get into the top ten; if you just plan to pass, it will be fine. Sometimes, even passing can be dangerous.

"Even dull students will understand this kind of thing. Do you think that 'Professor Chen' will not understand?"

Looking at Ringo, who was stunned and thoughtful, Russell also stood up.

He walked up to Ringo and reached out to touch her soft and slightly curly hair. The hair that has just been washed still has a little moist and cool water vapor, and it does not feel frizzy and full of static electricity.

Russell looked directly into Ringo's eyes until she looked away slightly.

"Let's think about it the other way around..."

Russell's voice is gentle and clear, with a slight laziness that belongs to a teenager.

But in terms of real voice, Ringo, who is younger than Russell, sounds more like a sister.

"If nothing happens to the airship, the 'captain' you have a crush on will accompany us. You will probably be more entangled and hesitant... Although your captain and your senior sister are lovers, they are not married. Bar?"

"Yes……"

"And I will easily see your hesitation...because your acting skills at hiding worries are not very good. Then even if I don't feel 'pity', I will feel 'disappointment' or even 'displeasure'. Then you Of course, it would be impossible to talk about our devotion, and it might even break down the relationship and make the relationship between the two of us cold.

"Even for Sun Island, a person like you who is not even a doctor has no value at all - but I am different."

Russell smiled gently: "I'm not a doctor. It's just because I don't want to take the exam, not because I can't pass it. Sun Island, which respects wise men, naturally won't come here specially to make me sick."

"...But in this case, what can Professor Chen get? I haven't accomplished anything at all..."

"No, you did. Like now."

"What?"

"Let me know his name and remember this person deeply. And let me know it, and I can find him by looking for you."

Russell looked at Ringo and couldn't help but sigh.

Indeed, just a puppy.

Even if she understood things very early due to her excellent qualifications and her early loneliness, if no one continued to educate her, all she could master would be the wisdom of baring her teeth and competing for food.

Seeing that she still didn't understand, Russell simply explained directly: "I can inherit my mother's psychic ability because my mother passed away before I awakened.

"Even if we have a child, how can we verify that Professor Chen's theory is correct? You should know that psychic energy is unique."

Hearing this, Ringo suddenly opened his eyes.

It doesn't seem too silly. It finally dawned on me.

Russell breathed a sigh of relief.

"You said that after I die, our children can inherit my psychic powers. Maybe that's true, but you have to know... I am the deputy director of the Special Execution Department of Happy Island and the head of Sanzhi Heavy Industry stationed in Happy Island. The deputy director of a branch company, and I am only twenty-six years old this year. The possibility of me degenerating into a devil is higher than the chance of dying suddenly or being killed. Then if I don't die, you will be regarded as an 'unique sample' How can we prove Professor Chen’s theory if we have children?”

He felt a little helpless about Ringo's naivety: "You will know if you think about it for a moment. My life and death are uncontrollable to him. This is impossible for an experimenter to do. So for What is the real and only thing he can control?"

"...is...it's me?"

"——Of course it's you."

Russell's voice was like a devil's whisper: "Even if he dies, I may not die. But compared to me, you are still in his hands. As the person in charge of the modification of your prosthetic body... you don't know It should be very simple to die without realizing it, right?

"In this case, how can I promise you to give you a child?

"That not only takes away your purity, but also takes away your life."
