Chapter 338 Event Re-Enactment

Accompanied by weak vibrations and dizziness, the airship gradually moved away from the ground.

The snow-capped mountains and wilderness bathed in the sun, as well as the steel city that gives people a sense of cleanliness and elegance, seem to shine with holy light under the sunlight at noon, giving people a refreshing feeling just looking at it.

The densely packed high-rise factories in Xiacheng District are like countless sharp thorns piercing the shadow of this empty island.

Even though it's "daytime," they still have their lights on.

Lights of different colors appear in the high-rise factories placed upside down at the bottom of the floating city. When the distance is far away, it's like a group of monsters crouching above the factory and crawling in the shadows opening their soul-stirring pupils. Just looking at it gives people a strong sense of unease.

But Russell knew that downtown residents never cared about day and night.

As long as they live in the lower city, it will always be night - a day when the sun cannot be seen is still the darkest night.

Russell looked at the Island of Happiness that was gradually receding outside the cabin, resting his chin on his right hand.

He couldn't help but sigh.

After half a year, he boarded the first class cabin of the airship again.

If put into animation, this would be like the end of the first season or the beginning of the second season, which is a wonderful contrast to the first act. Just like the "Duel of Repayment", when the classic BGM of the past sounds, there will be a power called "feelings" that makes people cry.

Because everything seems to be the same as half a year ago, it has changed but it seems that it has not changed——

...Even the bad day sitting in front of him was reproduced perfectly.

"Why are you following me?"

Russell said angrily: "It's rare that I want to truly enjoy the first-class treatment of an airship."

"Your girlfriend asked me to come."

Bad Riyong sat in front of Russell in a symmetrical posture, dragging his chin with his left hand as if looking in a mirror, and said lazily: "Anyway, if I have more mouth, I won't be able to eat enough of your food."

There is no doubt that he opened the door out of thin air and got in again this time.

Russell felt a little helpless: "I always feel that seeing you is not very auspicious..."

So far, it can be said that it is a perfect replica of half a year ago, but Russell sincerely hopes that it will stop here.

At least, I hope nothing happens to the airship again this time...

After leaving Director Amirus, Russell called Delphinium.

He had to make it clear to Delphinium that he would not be going home tonight. Otherwise, when she sees that she has not returned yet, she may become anxious or even panic.

It's like opening the door and letting your cat out to play on its own. Usually the cat will come back on time to eat before dinner, but one day suddenly does not come back in the middle of the night, and you will worry that something has happened to the cat.

Because the phone calls could be "tapped" by colleagues in the cyber security department in the cyber world, Russell and Delphinium did not say anything that was inappropriate for others to know. It just means that Director Amirus has something urgent and requires him to go on a business trip. I roughly estimate that I won't be able to return home for about a week.

Delphinium didn't say any nonsense about "don't be a hero", "preserve your life first", or "take care of yourself first".

She knew that if Russell really encountered a powerful enemy that had to be dealt with desperately, and saw someone who needed to be saved in front of him, he would definitely rush forward without thinking.

Because that's who Russell is.

In other words... it was precisely because of this that she began to like Russell.

All changes came from Russell's first day on the job.

The cat-eared boy who stood alone in the crowd like a shadow, as childish as a boy, was willing to risk his life to dismantle the traps left by the criminals for the sake of the children he had never met on his first day at the Special Enforcement Department. .

There was actually a single solution at that time.

That is to completely ignore the problems left by the Veil of Ignorance and go back to evacuate all the guests... Although it may cause a stampede, the "child" wearing the iron mask will probably be the only one who is killed in the end.

Rationally speaking, this is the best and most correct way to deal with it.

But Russell did not investigate at all, and did not know who the prisoner was or what he had done... He was not even sure whether the prisoner would inject a virus into the mask, or deliberately leave dead questions without answers. He hesitated and moved his hands.

——Coincidentally, if Delphinium was here instead of Russell, she would definitely do the same.

That is the radiant self-confidence, the courage to stand up despite being deeply aware of the extent of the danger... coupled with the sense of responsibility that will put oneself in a dangerous place even if it is just to save one person.

They are the same kind of people. It's like another me in the world.

It was then that Delphinium began to pay attention to the new hero she once considered a "trouble".

So Delphinium can understand every decision Russell makes.

She also believed that Russell would never need her advice.

Everything she could think of, Russell would definitely think of; what she was afraid of, even if she tried to persuade him, it would be useless.

So Delphinium just said: "If you can come back safely, I will give you a gift."

But she turned around and contacted Bad Ri, asking her real uncle to help and protect Russell who was going on a long trip.

He was alone and wanted to go to Tongshen Island... How could this be possible?

In Happy Island, there is basically no one who doesn’t know Russell. No matter where he goes, he meets people he knows. Because of this, Russell wouldn't worry about Delinquent wherever he went, because someone would always see him, someone would always know where he went... and she would always be able to find Russell.

Don't even bother to investigate. No matter where Russell goes, he will be discovered by netizens immediately. A quick browse through major forums will help you find out where your cat has gone.

——But that is Tongshen Island.

After Delphinium joined the Tower of Babel, she also learned a little about the past history. Because of this, she also knew about the "Panbai Incident" that happened on Tongshen Island.

To this day, there are still many people on Tongshen Island who are still bitter about the fact that other islands did not lend a helping hand when they faced a crisis.

Although other islands have no obligation to help them legally and morally, they still cannot accept it emotionally.

If people on other empty islands can no longer survive, they will most likely choose to go to other empty islands. This is also the only way to spread news among empty islands where there is no Internet and no private transactions.

Those who want better medical conditions but are worried about losing their jobs will go to Holy Blood Island, where there will never be a shortage of high-paid drug testers; those who want to see natural landscapes, real animals, and keep real pets will go to Taoyuan Island; if you want to work or have fun, you can come to Happy Island...

But only the residents of Tongshen Island, no matter how hard their lives are, would rather starve to death than move to other empty islands.

This is not because they have a strong sense of identity and belonging to Tongshen Island, but because they have a stronger sense of exclusion. Even if you just hear the accent of a foreign island, you may even be discriminated against in Tongshen Island - the kind where the taxi driver or tour guide cheats you and you can't find anyone to speak for you. Because of this, Tongshen Island has the fewest foreign tourists among the seven islands.

If among the seven empty islands, which one is the most dangerous to Russell, it is undoubtedly Tongshen Island.

In Tongshen Island, it is not a big deal for the heroes of other Sky Islands to suddenly disappear here... Tongshen Island is different from Happy Island. Their entertainment industry is not developed and their idols do not have such a high status.

To them, the various "heroes" promoted by the directors of the head office are simply "agents" used by those directors to kill people and do some dirty work.

Instead, they harbor a mixture of malice, contempt and envy towards the so-called "heroes".

To them, only dead heroes are good heroes. Those "heroes" recognized by the board of directors can all be regarded as thugs of the sane heavy industry.

Delphinium had to worry about Russell's safety.

He is not only a foreigner, but also a "hero" and an idol. Even rich celebrities can make money just by sitting down.

In name, he is here to help the Shenzhen Heavy Industry do dirty work, and he is eloquent - in the philosophy of the people of Tongshen Island, he is especially a trait of a liar and a braggart.

This can be said to be a taboo in multiple senses.

Delphinium even wondered if Amirus planned to drag Russell to Tongshen Island and kill him...

In fact, she is not the only one, Bad Day is also worried like this.

His understanding of Tongshen Island is a little deeper than Russell and Delphinium...

...After all, Bad Sun actually killed an elf director of Sanoshin Heavy Industry with his own hands. That was the first elf director he killed, and it was also the reason why he became a wanted criminal.
