Overturned Tower

Chapter 66 Peter Pan

After signing for "Winter", Russell went with the bad guy to hand the signed extension document to Peter Pan.

As the saying goes, there may be a wrong name, but there is no wrong code name.

The person in charge of the reconstruction agency code-named "Peter Pan" looks even younger than Russell.

His limbs are unusually slender, even to the point of being pathologically slender.

And between his elbow and ribs, there is a layer of flying membrane - from this feature alone, Russell can determine the other person's spiritual kinship.

There is no doubt that it should be some kind of animal from the flying squirrel tribe.

Another name for the flying squirrel is the flying squirrel. They are small animals that look like squirrels and can glide and fly in the forest.

"Put the file in there and I'll look at it."

Peter Pan was wearing a gaming goggle that looked like an eye protector, lying on his back on the massage chair, and said casually: "What next, Sapphire?

"Is there anything else you want to say?"

"You still need to get two original copies of the chip and give them to me for approval."

The inferior looked at the documents on Peter Pan's desk without changing his expression, and said unceremoniously: "I want the original chips of 'Blind Snake' and 'Winter'... Well, just the kind that can be copied fifty times."

"Fifty times?"

Peter Pan pulled off the blindfold: "What the hell are you thinking? The original that can be copied fifty times has been reserved for next year!

"I mean, you haven't been back for over a year - do you have anything to quibble about?"

That moment.

Russell clearly felt a strong sense of crisis.

It's as if the surrounding space has been distorted...

It's like standing up straight and looking in all directions after being drunk. It seems that every space is bulging inward and then expanding outward, and the whole world seems to be hit in a transparent water ball. An inexplicable feeling of dizziness made Russell subconsciously stretch his hands into his arms.

The inferior suddenly put his hand on Russell's shoulder, signaling him to calm down.

But he said merciless words: "Because the existing chips have not been used up, and there are no new chips that need to be applied for, of course there is no need for me to come back.

"You don't think that I have to stay here with you, do you?"

"...can't you?"

Peter Pan, who was originally fierce, suddenly had red eyes and burst into tears: "I want you to stay here and play with me..."

When he cried, the distortion in the space immediately dissipated.

Russell suddenly felt a strange psychological discomfort.

You know, as early as when the inferior was only six or seven years old, Peter Pan was the head of the reconstruction agency. He couldn't have been a minor at that time.

So far, twenty years have passed...but Peter Pan is still living here.

Although he looks like he is only eight or nine years old, like a thin boy in the second or third grade of elementary school - an age that even dogs would dislike.

But his real age should be at least thirty or forty years old.

Strange to say, Russell seemed to be a mentor in his early twenties, but his real age was six hundred years old, but Russell didn't feel anything at all; but Peter Pan, who appeared to be only seven or eight years old, was only thirty or forty years old in real life, and even Less than a fraction of Sally Ruth's, Russell felt a little uncomfortable...

The bad guys are not moved by this at all.

He just reiterated coldly: "Take two original copies of the chip and give them to me for approval. If not fifty times, ten times is fine. I got permission from the board of directors to carry out your order. If you want me to Stay here and go to the board and submit your request.”

In the end, Peter Pan still opened the drawer with a sullen mouth and a stinky face, and handed the original chip that he had prepared before to the bad guy.

Russell wanted to calm the other person down, but before he could speak, the inferior person pulled his arm fiercely.

So Russell immediately understood and closed his mouth, and left with him.

After they had left the reconstruction agency, the bad guy said, "Don't get involved with Peter Pan."

"Is he a madman?"

Russell guessed roughly.

The inferior added: "To be precise, he is a mental patient.

"The tricky thing is, he's also a psyker... His psychic powers involve time. That's why he never grows up, never ages."

"Is it the spiritual power of time..."

Russell frowned: "But why is he here?"

——Peter Pan stayed in the Reconstruction Agency for twenty years, maybe more.

In a sense, Peter Pan himself is also a prisoner imprisoned here.

The only difference is that the devil will die eventually, but he will always live here... If Peter Pan's spiritual power can really make him immortal, I'm afraid this sentence will be "forever".

"Because he is a sinner too."

The bad guy replied: "A serial murderer who killed a dozen children."

"……What?"

"Have you ever heard of the fairy tale Peter Pan?"

"Ah... Peter Pan who never grows up?"

Russell's expression became a little subtle.

He had generally heard of this fairy tale.

He was in another world and had even seen a movie adaptation of this fairy tale.

This world has the same fairy tale...just with slightly different details.

In other words, the story of "Peter Pan" is closer to the original novel.

"What's the version of the story you heard?"

the inferior asked rhetorically.

Russell thought for a moment: "That was what my mother told me when I was a child.

"Roughly speaking, it's a story about a flying giant baby who will never grow up and tricks other people's children into adventuring on the 'Never Island'. It's about fighting beasts and forming a group of sky pirates. He robbed homes and finally took some of the thief's treasures, defeated a robot that looked like a thief, and so on."

"Then I'm going to tell you, this is not actually a fairy tale. It's a true story."

The inferior said and got on the floating car parked outside.

He patted the seat next to him and motioned for Russell to sit in the front row. This way he can tell stories conveniently without looking back.

...Speaking of which, has the relationship between them become less cold?

Russell thought so and sat in the passenger seat.

"Have you ever thought about why this fairy tale character... is called Peter Pan?"

"Why?"

"Because that's his name."

The inferior replied: "It's not a code name, his name is Peter Pan."

Later, he told another version of the story:

Peter Pan was a best-selling author. He was the last user of the first batch of chips, and it was only after he was born that the second batch of chips became available.

He wrote many fairy tales for children throughout his life, and those stories have been passed down to modern times. But people don't even know who the author is.

"Until one day, his inspiration ran out."

"Is he stuck?"

"No."

The bad guy surprisingly knows what the word means.

But he denied: "He received a letter... It may be hard for you to imagine that paper letters existed in that era.

"It was a letter sent to him by a young reader. It was written with sharp criticism in a child's style, claiming that the children in a fairy tale book that he had rated highly at the time were 'not like children at all', but just 'trapped children'. Of course, we later learned that this was a conspiracy played by colleagues who were jealous of his talent. The purpose was to affect his creative state so that he would have no time to participate in a very important cross-island fairy tale award at that time. .

"But Peter Pan didn't know that. He really thought he had written it badly.

"So he began to think hard about 'how children should think'. In the process, he received five or six letters of criticism in different handwritings, all of which were criticized in a child's tone for his last book. That award is called the 'Children's Heart Award', and it is the highest level fairy tale award in Happy Island.

"He began to wonder whether there were differences in the aesthetics of fairy tales between the adult judges and the child readers? His joy after winning the award dimmed. He was not married, so he had no real children... Therefore he cannot get a true 'child's evaluation'.

"So he tried to imitate the actions of a child and talk to others in a child's tone. And people thought he was crazy... and soon, he was really crazy."

"So, he turned into a demon?"

"No, he just awakened the spiritual power - the spiritual power that returned himself and his mind to his childhood."
