Chapter 138 Russell’s Father
Russell felt as if he had been cheated.
Grandma Lan seemed to have said something very important, but she seemed to have said nothing.
Some of the doubts in his heart were solved, but more new doubts arose.
However, judging from Grandma Lan's attitude, it seems impossible to ask her what exactly happened.
According to Russell's speculation...perhaps Bad Sun ruined some plan or conspiracy of the Nan family. In this case, you can match the previous part.
But he wasn't sure.
The reason is also very simple.
——How can he rely on destruction?
If it were really the big plan of a century-old family, what could he be exposed to as a young man and what could he do from it?
"Then can I ask...about my parents?"
"You want to ask about your father?"
Grandma Lan saw through Russell's thoughts in an instant.
But she didn't refuse immediately, she just sighed sadly and helplessly.
"Doctor, she really didn't tell you anything..."
"……yes."
Russell could only respond honestly: "I don't even know my father's code name."
"This is a bit too much. No matter what, he is still your father."
Grandma Lan may have frowned, but there were so many wrinkles on her forehead that Russell couldn't quite understand her emotions: "At least I should explain things clearly to you after you become an adult."
"...I used to live on Sogo Island."
Russell tried to defend his mother: "My mother didn't tell me because she wanted to escape the eyes of the artificial intelligence on Sogo Island."
"maybe."
Grandma Lan shook her head and did not continue to dwell on this topic.
She just warned Russell: "You should be in your early twenties this year. This was almost the age when 'Bad Day' was born.
"You should act more safely in the future. Don't imitate that bastard... If possible, it's better to live under the sun.
"The affairs of your ancestors have nothing to do with you. No matter how bad times fool you, you must remember...live your own life first. Believe whatever he says, and do whatever he asks you to do. What. That's a bad boy, but you're a good boy.
"Your life is pretty good now. As long as you can endure it, it's best to endure it. Don't take off the name 'Ultramarine' easily. The identity of 'hero' is more useful than you think."
The sudden nagging and concern from the old man not only did not make Russell feel bored, but instead made him feel a warmth that was close to family affection.
Russell nodded silently, suddenly feeling enlightened.
Grandma Lan seems to have a good relationship with her parents...
Couldn't she be a retired Tower of Babel member?
The only thing that's not right is that Russell is already twenty-six years old - of course, it doesn't mean he can't be said to be in his early twenties.
Although this head is relatively large.
"Your father's code name is 'Sheath'."
"sheath?"
"The scabbard of the sword. That eldest lady could be said to be extremely sharp and talented back then...and he volunteered to become her sheath to store her sheathless blade, so he changed his name to 'sheath'. "
Grandma Lan muttered: "He is her shadow, her teacher, and at the same time her protector.
"What a wonderful couple we were back then...how did it end up like this?"
Russell knew who the "eldest lady" she was talking about was.
That should be the mother...Alice.
Bad Day said that Alice joined the Tower of Babel to find a way to get rid of the murderous impulse.
Judging from what happened later, it seemed that she had found it.
At least in the past twenty-five years that Russell had been with her, he had never seen any "homicidal impulses" in her.
According to Russell's analysis, that impulse is actually the "killing heart" inherited from spiritual relatives.
The so-called "overkill" phenomenon means that animals that are predators sometimes kill more of their prey than they need for their own food.
This is not considered harmful to "desert cats", so it is not easily detected as a negative trait.
But in a modern society that abides by order, it becomes a factor of instability.
Just like carnivorous animals such as lions, tigers, and wolves, they are always prone to inherit the spiritual characteristics of violent impulses and desire to kill.
Therefore, they rarely reach the top of the company, and even those who do reach the top are almost all patients with mild cases of parapsychosis. It's probably hard to find a job for someone who's almost a humanoid lion like strangulation.
Because even if they as individuals did not inherit that kind of animal nature, people would still think that they might go crazy and kill people when they are drunk.
This is discrimination against a group, but they cannot defend it.
"My father was my mother's bodyguard and teacher?"
Russell found important information from Grandma Lan's words: "Is he much older than mom?"
"Yes. He is a full twelve years older than Alice. Alice married Sheath when she became an adult, and she was only twelve years old when she first met Sheath, and Sheath had already graduated from college at that time."
Grandma Lan nodded, confirming Russell's conjecture: "Sheath contacted the Bad Sun and joined the Tower of Babel much earlier than the doctor. Even the Bad Sun joined the Doctor earlier.
"Sheath is Bad Sun's swordsmanship and fighting teacher, and he is the 'saint' that the Nan family found from the Cyber Church. Otherwise, one is on Happy Island and the other is on Taoyuan Island, and they may never meet each other in their lifetime.
"At that time, Bad Sun was still a 'Nanliu Jing'. It was Sheath who lured him to gradually degenerate, and eventually joined the Tower of Babel and became 'Bad Sun'... Doctors were the same way."
When Grandma Lan said this, she shook her head: "I won't talk about it later.
"Since neither Bad Day nor the doctor want to tell you too much, it's hard for me, an outsider, to say anything. What if I say something, do bad things with good intentions, and ruin their plans."
This old lady may not be too cautious.
Is this how cautious people become when they grow old?
Russell sighed helplessly.
"So……"
——Can you please tell me some information about Camarse?
Russell originally wanted to ask this.
But just before he asked, white flames suddenly ignited in his pupils.
Just like before in the Executive Building.
Under a strange sense of déjà vu, Russell suddenly saw a scene that had never appeared before——
Next to him stood Morgan, and they stood side by side in front of Grandma Lan.
Grandma Lan said casually while grinding:
"Director Kamalse, he is probably busy silencing him recently."
"...Whose mouth should I silence?"
Morgan asked in a low voice with some difficulty.
"Isn't it just to silence you?"
Grandma Lan glanced at Morgan, her attitude was completely different from the previous contact with Russell.
She looked at Russell and smiled sarcastically: "You didn't even tell Qun Qing this, so you dragged him to help you?
"He is a clean hero, different from someone like you who lives in the mud. Don't harm others."
The brief hallucination suddenly disappeared.
The white flames in Russell's eyes dissipated, and he was stunned for a moment.
Grandma Lan raised her eyebrows: "Did you see anything?
"Your psychic powers... are related to prophecy or vision?"
"...It seems like I saw something."
Russell shook his head to dispel the uneasiness in his heart.
He tentatively asked: "Do you know... Director Kamalse, is he planning to do anything recently?"
"You should ask if he has done something."
Grandma Lan smiled and replied gently: "He just sent his men to kill a few people, just last night. Those were two of the three founders of the 'Root Project' company... because they rejected Kama Erser’s hostile takeover.”
"So, where is that subordinate?"
"Probably he has been silenced."
Grandma Lan thought for a while: "Because the remaining one originally agreed to the acquisition, but suddenly changed his face after the other two people died and the shares were in his hands. He combined Kamalse's hostile acquisition with the other two The murder of the director was exposed to the Cyber Church, and asylum applications were sent to Theosophical Heavy Industries and Thoth Psychic.
"Tian'en Daily is suppressing the news now, but this matter has already spread to other air islands. In order to ensure that he destroys the evidence, Kamalse will definitely kill the person who carried out the assassination plan."
"...Could they still cause trouble to the elves?" Russell was a little unbelievable.
"The name 'Kamalse' has always existed...but that doesn't mean this 'Kamalse' can do whatever he wants."
Grandma Lan said sarcastically: "It's just a fox pretending to be a tiger.
"Don't forget, the dragon is the ruler in the real sense. The elves are just agents. If things get serious, Kamalse of 'this generation' may not be able to survive.
"——Killing people has exceeded the dragon's bottom line."
