Chapter 243 The Third Answer
"Why did you suddenly advance your plans?"
After leaving, God's Container asked with some doubts: "It is a relatively late plan to support the identity of detective."
"Because I felt a sense of fear."
Russell replied softly: "A fear of overdoing it."
The reason why he finally declared to Strangler that the "detective" would become the enemy of the "Godfather" in the future was not just to entertain himself and fight each other...
Russell means it.
Because strictly speaking, excluding the assassination of Kamalse by the Godfather, which was not completely believed, there are actually only three things that the identity of "The Godfather" has actually accomplished.
After seeing through the board's trick, he saved the lives of all the newly awakened mages from the angel's bombing, and unified the lower city area with the "mercenary" and "family" model.
In the eyes of the people in Xiacheng District, this is simply a great man descended from heaven. It seems that he can lead them to solve all problems... But if you put the perspective on the level of Happy Island, the godfather is actually like that.
Unbeknownst to the Godfather, people in downtown have begun to worship "The Godfather."
"I'm obviously not even a 'king', at most I can only be considered a country lord who has established himself as a king... But some people even regard the godfather as a god. This can definitely be regarded as flattering.
"Strangler is rational enough, but he is still unconsciously infected by the charm of the godfather.
"The words I said to him are actually not fundamentally different from the cakes painted by churches and companies. They are all about selling dreams, but Strangler is willing to eat my way... Not only did he eat it, but he also used it to himself Hypnosis for not eating.
"This is actually a very dangerous omen. Because they have begun to lose their rationality in following me."
Russell explained in a low voice.
Strangler is a mage who has gone through the path of contemplation, so what about the other people in Lower City?
Will they become more superstitious about the Godfather? Do you think you can defeat Uptown now that you have a godfather? Not even elves and dragons?
In that case, what they are pursuing is not the "equal" world that the godfather sold them, but a future in which they are more "equal" than others.
Russell couldn't help but feel scared. Fortunately, Strangler was cautious enough and planned to conduct a thorough investigation before promoting the Godfather's achievements...
Fortunately, Russell himself suddenly remembered this matter and could use his identity as a third party to ask Strangler about his views on the Godfather... because these words were something that Strangler would never say to his Godfather. He could never ask such a truth himself.
If this news spreads, the number of people in Xiacheng District will begin to swell violently...
Once a mortal suddenly gets close to a big shot and becomes a member of a powerful organization, he will think that he has become the same big shot.
If they regard the godfather as a "god", the nature of the organization will change.
Since there are gods, there are also "priests" who interpret the gods' will. Then there will definitely be people doing their own things in his name... The godfather cannot satisfy everyone, nor can he restrain everyone from acting in their own interests.
People pursue godfathers precisely because godfathers can give them what others cannot - they are not just for some lofty ideals, but for real benefits. Once the godfather begins to restrict their behavior, ask them to give up the benefits they have obtained, and talk to them about their ideals from a higher perspective, then he will be no different from the companies in the uptown area and the Cyber Church.
Fortunately, it didn't affect many people, only Malt Liquor and Strangler.
If there are just two "believers", it shouldn't be a big problem.
The Godfather must be dark enough and ruthless enough. Otherwise, as the situation of those who follow him improves, their ambitions will gradually expand, and sooner or later the godfather will be unable to suppress these people. But if his style of doing things has been fixed, then sooner or later the godfather will do something that "Russell" does not want to do.
But in order to prevent the power contained in the identity of "The Godfather" from expanding to an extent that the Godfather himself cannot control... Russell must first lay down a foreshadowing here, a "detective" specially designed to fight against the Godfather's power.
In this case, it won't be too abrupt when the detective pops up one day. Everything is reasonable, and the detective will still be wary of strangulation...his vigilance will become a recognition of the detective's ability.
——So that night, Russell caught Strangler in the dream world. Tell him not to publicize this outside.
Shortly after that, Strangler was ruthlessly kicked out by Zhongang.
When Russell asked why Teacher Zhong was so rude to the strangulation...
Zhongxiang told Russell something else:
"Because that lion is about to leave here."
Zhonggo, who had turned into a skinny old man again, was forging his own head while muttering to himself: "He is no longer one of his own."
"Is he going to a deeper realm?"
Russell, who turned into a godfather, asked at the time.
"No," Zhonggo replied, "it was him who wanted to deviate from the Melting Pot School.
"The anger I saw in his eyes has become thinner and thinner...replaced by uncontrollable greed, jealousy and ambition.
"In two months at most, maybe only half a month at the shortest, he will become someone else's apprentice."
Tsuguo muttered with his head on the anvil.
After waking up from the dream world again, Russell immediately looked for malt wine.
As soon as he woke up, he saw his godfather sitting silently on the bedside - Malt Wine immediately trembled in fear as soon as he opened his eyes. Just like a mobile phone with vibrate mode turned on, it vibrated in the quilt with a buzzing sound.
Malt Liquor quickly straightened up, ignoring the fact that the quilt slipped from his body, and subconsciously showed an almost flattering smile to his godfather.
The middle-aged director who was sleeping next to her suddenly fell into a deeper sleep.
The godfather saw that there was unconcealed fear in Malt Liquor's eyebrows... and a little bit of relief and excitement.
Just by looking at that smile, the godfather guessed the truth.
——She not only found out what Russell wanted.
It’s probably possible to find out who the “Director of Kamalse” is.
Before that, no matter how courageous she was, she would never have imagined that the godfather would kill an elf director. So Malt Liquor must only default to "Director of Kamalse" as a director of a small company.
And this was also intentional by the Godfather.
He mentioned this matter so lightly because of the different personalities of Strangler and Malt Liquor.
Strangler was suspicious enough and too slow, so he had to be told clearly and directly. Even so, he would have to investigate repeatedly on his own before he could believe it.
Malt Liquor is smart and agile, and is particularly good at squeezing out more information silently from the gaps in words. At the same time, the power she controls has been able to access the level of the elf director. The godfather guessed that she can Find out about this.
So the godfather deliberately did not tell her more, but asked her to investigate on her own... After all, it is easier to convince herself only if she finds out by herself.
The godfather gently stroked Ale's cheek and gently pushed her messy hair behind her ears.
"It seems that you have found what I want."
His dark blue pupils were as calm as lake water: "You have lived up to my trust in you."
"Yes, Godfather...I won't let you down..."
As soon as the ale opened its mouth, it made a sweet sound. A good night's sleep did not make her throat dry at all. The malt liquor almost covered his entire body.
Different from the previous performances - now there is a bit of sincerity in the admiration and intimacy of malt liquor.
It probably increased from 5% to 30%.
"I know why you wanted me to look into that!"
Seeing that the godfather did not hide away, she hugged the godfather's arm without leaving a trace, and couldn't wait to share the precious information she had investigated: "I found out that the 'Full Ripe' who was captured by the company before was sent away. Arrived in the company of 'Root Plan'!
"The Root Project is researching a technology that can read other people's surface consciousness through a 'game helmet' and use instruments to penetrate into other people's dreams... I asked someone to take pictures with a drone, and Quan Ming wore it on his head. Such a helmet!
"The chairman of Tianen Group, she wants to try to invade our dream world through technological means!"
