Overturned Tower

Delphinium folded her hands and looked at the sunset, which was not dazzling and weak.

For a moment, she was a little confused.

What is the purpose of life?

I just want to live such an ordinary life... Why do I have to do my best to live?

Just investigating Russell's family made her think a lot.

His father had already become a celebrity while other children were studying and taking classes. His childhood was already eventful. And then, after years of intense bullying, he chose to commit suicide, and was rescued and had plastic surgery... The one who took action at that time was probably the Tower of Babel.

It can be said that neither Russell's parents were mediocre. The same is true for Russell himself. He is an extraordinary person.

But Delphinium always feels...this seems a bit pitiful.

This life, which is so exciting and full of ups and downs, always seems to have some force pushing them to take action.

The army of children who can fly freely, has been hyped up by newspapers for several years as traffic news, was valued and accepted by the criminal organization Babel wanted by the dragon, and took the appointment of the elf director to be his daughter's tutor - the other side also the same. With murderous impulse, the heartthrob lady saved the elf director from the assassin, obtained the initial type of psychic weapon, and then taught another elf director candidate, convincing him to abandon his destiny and choose the Tower of Babel... …

There are so many things that can be said.

But the disaster that Delphinium encountered was so ordinary. Just using the word "no money" can completely sum it up. Other than that, there is nothing else that can be used as a talking point.

——But she felt that the Russell family was far less happy than her own family.

How strange.

In this world, the richer the people, the happier they are. But the Russell family, rich and powerful, talented and well-connected... should not have suffered this misfortune in any case.

So, what is the source of their family's misfortune...

Delphinium thought a little confused.

She gently stirred the pan and skillfully turned the steak over without using a spatula.

Due to some distraction, one side of the steak was slightly burnt. But it's better to say that it's just right. The crispy shell can just lock in the delicious gravy, and the rich meat aroma hits your face. Delphinium's cheeks were warmed by the oil and turned slightly red. However, in the middle of winter, when her body was plagued by the curse called menstrual period, the heat in front of the stove actually made her feel that the parts that were not coaxed by the heat became colder.

She stretched out her hand, breathed a sigh of relief, and rubbed her hands a little. Start taking the steak out and putting it on a plate.

Unlike Russell, who likes to sprinkle garlic powder and barbecue sauce, and then pour it with hot oil.

If the delphinium is eaten by itself, just sprinkle it with a little fine salt. Let the steaks wake up for a while, so that the difference between the surface temperature and the core temperature becomes smaller and the muscle fibers can lock in more moisture. Even if you cut the steak, the juice will not flow out and the taste of the meat will be further enhanced.

This is a little trick that can effectively improve your happiness.

Although the price of synthetic meat has become very cheap in this era, there will always be people who cannot afford it.

When Delphinium was young, the opportunity to buy this high-quality synthetic meat was rare. Every time you cook, you must prepare carefully, and you must carefully check the differences between different brands and models of synthetic meat. Every time she cooks, the preparation time is several times that, but the joy she gets in the end always makes her smile at a young age.

And this sense of ritual is also a rare adjustment in the boring and ordinary life, and it is a silent resistance to my busy and repetitive life - even if I have to waste time, I will invest it in something that makes me satisfied and satisfied. Happy relaxation instead of anxiety about work.

So far, Delphinium cannot confirm whether the chairman has noticed her.

But she had already investigated everything she wanted to investigate. Important information has been placed in her private space, and if something happens to her, it can be sent to Russell regularly.

She is harboring the fear of approaching death.

But the only slight regret in her heart at this moment... was that she hadn't been able to marry Russell yet.

Specifically, what does it mean to be married or not? Anyway, everything that needs to be done has been done.

The feelings and relationship between them will not change at all.

However, what Delphinium values ​​​​is precisely that unique sense of ritual. That sense of ritual could soothe the subtle anxiety in her heart... It was not that she was worried about whether Russell would stop loving her, but that she felt empty because this relationship did not have enough engraved and foundation.

"...Anxiety, and engraving."

Delphinium murmured.

Her hand holding the sharp knife and cutting the steak suddenly stopped.

She seemed to understand.

The reason why the Russell family is so outstanding, so powerful, so rich...but still "not happy enough".

Because their goals and what they want to achieve have exceeded the limits of what "wealth" and "talent" can achieve.

They indeed hold much more things than ordinary people like themselves, but their goals are higher and the great things they want to achieve are equally difficult - they are both impoverished due to the disaster of "not getting what they want". Constant torture.

What makes them suffer is precisely the too strong "hope" and "love" - ​​if they can choose to go to the side of doing whatever they want and simply abandon the shell of morality and "you should", then No more pain about it.

——The bottom of the delphinium's pupils has an iridescent light that ranges from light blue to deep purple and is constantly flowing.

Behind her, the huge flower demon emerged silently.

Delphinium's whole body was entangled in thorns, and the pain of the thorns stinging her skin allowed her to stay awake from this compassionate emotion.

Silently, her psychic powers had taken a further step.

The eighth level of redshift - reaching the same state as Russell and Bad Sun.

But the irony is that "lethal love" does not advance because of feeling "love".

On the contrary, she felt the misery and sadness of her fate.

Inexplicably, Delphinium thought of the huge statue of the chairman in Tianen Park.

She has a beautiful face and a compassionate expression... Until today, Delphinium and Russell agreed that that compassion was nothing more than crocodile tears and the character of an idol. A caramelized sugar shell specially created to destroy - fragrant, sweet, fragile, false.

But now, Delphinium inexplicably felt some resonance from that face.

That kind of compassion may be serious.

"All living beings suffer..."

Delphinium murmured to herself what her mother once said once and she remembered it firmly: "Birth is suffering, old age is suffering, illness is suffering, death is suffering, separation from love is suffering, hatred and resentment are suffering, not being able to ask for what you want is suffering, and the five yin beings are suffering... …”

She suddenly had an impulse - a mindless impulse driven by psychic energy and irrational.

She couldn't stay where she was, waiting for Russell's action and the protection of her companions.

She cannot always be a tool, a gear, a fragment, a dreamer, a shadow... She should also have her own, innate mission. Psychic awakening is proof of this.

——If you raise your head and look directly at the stars. The satisfaction and happiness of the past will be far away from oneself, and who can say that that "meaningless misfortune" is not another ritual of pursuing the true self?

She wanted to understand why Russell and the others gave up and what they worked hard for. What to risk your life for...what to cry for.

She wanted to ask herself, was she born ordinary, could she become such a person one day?

She has to make this answer herself——

She tried to make changes with her own determination and her own desires.

It is not to become a vassal of others, nor to become a mediocre and nihilistic person, nor to become a boring shadow.

She wanted to meet the mysterious and dangerous chairman Sai Lun in person.
