MTL - Overturned Tower-v2 Chapter 20 Russell's Black History

"...Actually, I was quite confused that time."

Russell heard this, with a bitter face: "They do seem to be a couple, and they really have a good relationship. When I was given something to eat, I didn't feel any malice at all..."

"Then why did you miss?" delphinium demanded.

"Because that couple is a relatively rare kind of person with a distorted view of the world and love. They don't think this kind of behavior is "evil" from the bottom of their hearts, so this stupid cat didn't sense it. He At that time, I was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and it was the time when I was overconfident in my abilities...Because I succeeded more and more times, I gradually became more relaxed."

As the character of Wolf Yin on the arcade screen died again, he lazily let go of his hand on the joystick, turned around and replied casually: "It was also after that time that this stupid cat was hit and stopped going out." I was bouncing around...but I didn't go out when I had nothing to do."

"Because before that time, I really believed in my own "talent"."

Russell sighed, and said with some melancholy and nostalgia: "You should be able to understand, Flotie. Since I just learned to read, other people's hearts are in front of me. I read other people's hearts, It is not more difficult than reading a book. For ordinary people, the hearts of others are always fuzzy. If the communication is not cautious enough, it will be easy to cross the line that should not be crossed. But for me, it is clear See their current state, what they prefer, and the limit of their endurance. This is a technical game that "as long as you operate normally and don't get sick, you can pass the level stably".

"As for children who grow up in this environment, they are "child prodigies" who are born to read other people's minds. Naturally, they also lose respect for human hearts."

At that time, Russell hadn't awakened the memory of his previous life, but he had acquired the ability that he had tempered to the extreme in his previous life.

In terms of psionics, it means that his redshift has surpassed his blueshift—his rationality, cognitive ability and morality, unable to control his talents that grow wildly like weeds. So he naturally "expanded".

That was the time when Russell's performance was the most abnormal, but it was the time when he was most like his peers.

"At that time, I didn't know how to restrain my talent, and I didn't know how to be in awe of people. And because of this, I can always wander within the range of tolerance of others...to provoke others to the limit, and then to appease them in turn. The more irritable, crazy, and dangerous people are, the more challenging and attractive they are to me... Just like a more difficult puzzle game, even if I can see the other person's heart, I still have to choose the almost unique one. Only the correct answer can appease him.

"This is a dangerous game that only "I, can play."

Russell said softly: "So, in a sense...I'm actually very grateful to that couple.

"A heart-wrenching defeat made me wake up straight away - I actually don't fully understand people's hearts, and there are always people who are beyond my understanding and control. Since then, I have regained my awe of people's hearts... Only then gradually became normal and behaved ethically.

"I use my abilities in reverse to make myself a posture that conforms to the public's aesthetics. This way I am popular with others, instead of teasing others and manipulating people's hearts as I want."

If there hadn't been that failure, and Russell hadn't encountered bad days to unseal the memories of his previous life... He couldn't imagine, if such an arrogant self matured and absorbed all the knowledge in all fields, he would become a manipulator, manipulator Behind the scenes of the world.

"...It turns out that there are times when you are not mature enough."

Delphinium's voice became softer after learning about Russell's bad history as a child.

She stretched out her hand to touch Russell, and thanked Langyin sincerely: "Thank you, you saved Russell at that time."

"Hey, it's nothing. If it's a normal person, I can't be bothered."

The middle-aged elf, with a strong physique, let out a relentless and lazy voice: "Ms. Alice took care of my brothers and fetched guns for them. I promised her to take good care of her son and nothing will happen to him .”

"...Aren't you the owner of the bar?"

In fact, the delphinium wants to say "tune

Bartender", but she thought about it, and it seemed that an elf should not be engaged in such a simple job.

Maybe this bar is his?

"To be precise, he's actually a rock musician."

Russell single-handedly defeated the BOSS, and dragged the revived wolf voice to enter the next level: "Hey, you are alive, don't be distracted—it is said that he was kidnapped by a gang with a notorious reputation, but relying on his own rock music, Inexplicably, he became the leader of that gang. And he has no fighting power... He became an elf because of his ability as a bard back then.

"In other words, he didn't become the boss by relying on his ability to fight. This is what I thought he was the most awesome when I was young.

"Did you see? The drinking people in the room are all members of the gang. The bar actually closes at four o'clock, and I came down to play games with him after he had finished."

"No wonder you talk about these things without shy away..."

Delphinium suddenly realized.

Only then did she notice that the game console they were playing was a model she had never seen before: "You...don't use gaming glasses?"

"Hey, you don't understand now. This is an antique, not an ordinary antique. When it was on the ground, this thing was already a thousand-year-old antique."

Lang Yin said triumphantly: "This is said to be the most primitive game console from one or two thousand years ago—"

"Listen to him."

Russell said mercilessly: "It will take a thousand or two thousand years, and this thing will be useless long ago. Let alone a thousand or two thousand years, even a hundred or two hundred years will not work.

"This is an imitation——an imitation made after the Sky Island era.

"If it's a real thing, even if it's an antique imitated from that year on the ground, you can't take it out and touch it with your hands. It's even more impossible to just put it in the corner of the bar.

"And let me say that the consultant or boss who may have built this thing has indeed seen this thing... This screen is also similar, but he has never played it.

"But whether it's the handle and button's operating feel and durability-I've been tearing this handle for 20 years, it's not broken at all, and even has vibration feedback, you think it's like technology from two thousand years ago Is it? There is also this extremely smooth hardware performance, which is the technology of the Sky Island period.

"I won't talk about this game, this game is all made now! The game background in the antique game two thousand years ago can beat up the attackers on the empty island?"

Russell sprayed passionately and cursed directly.

Hearing Russell's swear words, Delphinium pinched Russell's tail gently as punishment.

She also finally understood why Russell was so familiar with those terrorist and criminal organizations...

"Hey, she didn't see the plot of the game. You want me to brag..."

"It's not that I don't want you to brag, it's that you are so outrageous that I can't even cover it. The later you expose it, the more embarrassing you will be. I'm helping you..."

"Then don't look at it, come and save me—"

"Don't die so fast, brother! At least live to see the boss!!"

"No, I'll put coins in..."

"Don't!! This is your machine, you can cast unlimited lives. It's too empty to take life piles... I'll give you another life, don't die so fast..."

"Then give me another piece of equipment..."

Russell and Langyin bickered like good brothers, while fiercely manipulating the game character in front of them, their voices became louder and louder.

As the pace of the game suddenly accelerated, neither of them had the leisure to turn around and continue chatting with Delphinium.

Although he has been complaining about Langyin's poor technology and lack of concentration in playing games... Delphinium has never seen that Russell can play games so happily.

He usually plays games in his spare time, and the quality of Happy Island's games undoubtedly crushes this "fake antique" for more than one era.

Whether it is a first-person fantasy war with thousands of troops, or a giant with more than fifty empty islands,

The adventure of a continent, or a multiplayer competitive puzzle game that runs a variety of decryption or horror-type copies with different content, or luxury sports such as skiing, bungee jumping, racing, and surfing that fully emulate somatosensory effects, or simply The "Life Customization" game that interprets the other end of life...

Russell likes to play. But he is always lying on the bed alone, curled up on the sofa and playing quietly.

Delphinium had never seen him shout, or stretch his arms and legs in excitement. I didn't even hear him talking about the game to himself with great interest - Delphinium heard it on the Internet, and boys who really like games often chat with their girlfriends like this. Delphinium has long been mentally prepared, and even has some expectations, but Russell has never talked to her about this kind of "incomprehensible" straight man topic.

Among the topics he and Delphinium talked about, the closest thing to this kind of straight man topic is the exchange of network security knowledge between the two parties. And compared to Russell, Delphinium himself can talk more seriously, the top...

Although my "little boyfriend" is only three years older than me, and looks so young that I seem to be younger than myself. But he usually appears so mature, reliable and steady, never willful, let alone quarrel with himself.

This is of course very good, but it is a pity that I did not grow up with the other party and see Russell's immature and young appearance.

And now ~www.novelbuddy.com~ follows Russell on a tour of the place where he grew up... Delphinium finally made up the lesson she had been obsessed with and had been waiting for for a long time.

In the dark corner of the bar in the early morning, Russell, who was jumping like a child, was playing games with his elders who had watched him grow up, and his friends who had forgotten his age. The man sleeping on the sofa was snoring loudly, the drinking couple pointed at this side and chuckled from time to time, and the two men who hung shoulder to shoulder and drank all night also smelled of alcohol, come over.

They politely kept a long distance away from the delphinium to prevent the smell of alcohol on their bodies from getting to her. The two just looked at the screens of the two "antique arcade machines", pointing fingers at their titular "boss"—that is, Lang Yin's stupid operation.

At this time, the "old screen" with a very low refresh rate seems to be less dazzling at this time.

The corners of Delphinium's mouth unconsciously raised slightly, revealing a gentle smile.

She wants to imprint this rare and unforgettable beautiful scene deeply into her heart.
