MTL - Overturned Tower-v2 Chapter 10 fairy tales and angels

If nothing else, Peter Pan should be the first batch of born psykers.

In that era when there is still fear of mages and people have not completely forgotten the existence of mages, it is definitely not a good thing to obtain abilities that obviously do not belong to the "power of the holy order".

"But it's different from a real child...he has no family. He has no parents who can restrain him. Peter Pan's accumulated wisdom and awakened psychic power soon made him the king of children in the surrounding area.

"Peter Pan deliberately indulges in this 'childish innocence', so that he is more innocent than a real child. A child does not understand the so-called 'morality', but he deliberately makes himself forget 'morality'. Like It’s like pouring drinks into the ant nests and letting them ‘drink’; it’s like taking off the wings of butterflies to make ornaments, or tearing down other people’s things at will...Peter Pan let himself forget all the constraints and try his best to understand’ What kind of things are children going to do'.

"However, after he lost the restraint of an adult, he still possessed the cunning wisdom of an adult.

"He ordered the other children not to come home - otherwise they would be attacked and refused to accept them. At the same time, he was comforting these children, bewitching them, and taking their place as parents.

"Under Peter Pan, kids do whatever they want...steal other people's stuff and burn down ugly buildings, all for 'fun'."

What kind of damage will a brat with the cunning wisdom of a social person, the super power to fly into the sky, and no scruples at the same time cause?

— That's Peter Pan.

"That is indeed a very happy life. No need to study, no constraints, eat whatever you want, drink whatever you want, play games as long as you want, sleep as long as you want...but this After a long time in life, there are still children who want to 'go home and see'. No matter how happy life outside is, not all children are willing to say goodbye to their parents forever.

"Even if they promised, it was just 'go back and have a look'. But Peter Pan knew very well that when they went back, they never came back.

"Their parents will definitely control them, and other children will also be infected by this homesickness of missing their parents... The 'legion' he formed will fall apart in an instant, leaving only a few who really don't want to home kids.

"It's impossible for him to accept that future.

"So he'd kill the kids who wanted to go away, and then scare the rest of the kids that their parents killed them. But there were always smarter kids, older kids...they realized No. But Peter Pan is more mature and wise than them, and he saw through their acting skills immediately.

"He killed those half-grown children one by one by creating accidents and other means. When Peter Pan was finally captured, he had killed sixteen children. And his 'legion' at that time had expanded to more than eighty people .

"If he hadn't been captured, the eighty would have died one day. For a child's mind grows, but Peter Pan doesn't."

When the inferior man said this, he sneered: "But even though his hands are covered with blood, people still don't want to kill Peter Pan.

"Because the First Consensus had just been established at that time, Peter Pan became a classic case and became the 'forgiven' instead. And he also wanted to atone for his sins... The way of atonement is to guard these demons forever.

"Peter Pan's mind will never change, which means he will not mature, be seduced by demons, or be polluted by demons. Even his desire and will will not change—his redshift and blue Shift value is always level 6. Because of this, he is the best warden.

"He will watch over these demons forever, and this is his atonement.

"The irony is... after the demon 'Peter Pan' was forgiven, the fairy tale about 'Peter Pan' was passed on without anyone creating it. It was made by those who were 'rescued', kidnapped At the same time, the children who also participated in various cruel acts exaggerated and beautified the subsequent stories.

"But the fairy tales he wrote before have not been handed down. Ironically, the content of the 'criticism letters' constructed by his colleagues because of jealousy is true. The fairy tales he wrote are closer to adult fairy tales , which has many metaphors and beautiful rhetoric, but children really don't like it. Because they can't read it.

"The only problem is... a child who can't even read this kind of fairy tale is impossible to write to him with such a clear mind."

As an excellent fairy tale writer, Peter Pan wrote for children wholeheartedly at the beginning.

His experience of murdering children, his end, eventually became the best fairy tale he created in his life.

This cannot but be said to be a kind of black humor.

...but what to say.

Russell looked at the inferior in a somewhat complicated manner.

Although there are obvious differences in motivation, the inferior is also a kind of "Peter Pan" in a sense.

Will never grow, and will never change—it's not that I don't understand, but because of something, I deliberately let myself forget it.

Apart from "Peter Pan" himself and the demons that let the inferiors execute the demons when they were young, I am afraid that part of the reason why the inferiors hate Peter Pan... is that the inferiors saw themselves in the mirror.

That was his "worst possibility".

The inferior instinctively hates and resists that possibility, so they try their best to stay away from it.

But this disgust itself speaks of his goodness. In other words, the kind of "goodness" he tried his best to maintain.

This sense of contradiction in him is like a mystery.

If only I could meet the poor man's father, Russell thought.

That way, he would be able to gain a deeper understanding...a deeper analysis of his colleague.

This kind of analysis of others through observation is also Russell's hobby that is not convenient to share with others.

Although such a hobby is not dark...but just knowing it will make people uncomfortable.

Russell thought so, and the floating car slowly landed on the ground.

But it is obviously still some distance away from Tianen District.

The inferior patted Russell on the shoulder next to him, reminding him to look over.

"You wait here first."

He said, pointing to the suitcase on the back seat.

Inside was a cryo device, storing prototype chips.

"Look at the chip, don't lose it..."

"Why are you going?"

Russell asked.

The poor man kept his hands in his pockets, raised his chin and pointed to the convenience store next to him: "Buy cigarettes."

...that's an overly realistic reason.

However, he wanted to smoke just now. Russell thought it was because he was willing to restrain this habit for himself, but he didn't expect it was because he ran out of smoke...

Russell yelled helplessly: "You smoke less!"

The inferior one ignored Russell, and walked towards the convenience store without looking back.

Really only the delphinium's reprimand works...

Russell shook his head~www.novelbuddy.com~ Speaking of which, the next door to this convenience store is the 'Third Hand'. "

This is a chain store that specializes in selling prosthetic bodies, recycling second-hand prosthetic bodies, and providing prosthetic body modification services.

Russell hasn't visited this store yet, so he wants to visit it a little bit.

Although the things in this kind of place are much more expensive than online shopping, and many things are designed to trick some ignorant people, but you can often see some second-hand prosthetic bodies that have been modified by magic.

Even if you don’t buy it and just look at it, that kind of transformation idea is also an inspiration for Russell.

— but he still wasn't about to get out of the car.

Because obviously guarding the chip is the business.

Russell thought so, and planned to put the nearby addresses into favorites.

But at this moment.

Under Russell's surprised eyes, a white-haired girl who looked to be only 1.5 meters walked out of it carrying two large bags of heavy parts.

She looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, and her appearance was immature and delicate. It has pigeon blood-like red pupils, moderate spiritualization, resulting in feather-like snow-white short hair, which blends with the ear feathers derived from the ears.

The girl had slender limbs and fair skin. Obviously there is a large area of ​​skin exposed, but Russell can't see the traces of the prosthetic body transformation—

But what really caught Russell's attention was the halo above her head.

A beige halo exuding bright light was suspended above her head, and her whole body exuded a soft shimmer.

It was as if she had an extra background light on her body, so that she could be spotted at a glance even if she was mixed in the crowd.

Although it was only the first time he saw it, Russell could immediately judge that it was the brilliance of the power of the Holy Order.

...is that, an angel?
