Chapter 527 Hua Mingshu’s Luck and Misfortune
This was the first time for Delphinium to see Russell showing such a meek expression in front of others, and his eyes even turned red at the words of others.
To be honest, this reaction scared her a little.
In Delphinium's impression, Russell has always been an unruly wild cat. Although when he is hungry, he will be willing to lie down, expose his belly, and meow nicely to beg for food... But if he waits until he is full and wants to call the cat over, he will never expect to get any favors. reaction.
Cats have always been too lazy to pay attention to people who come to them when they are not hungry.
Being able to respond lazily with a meow is already considered a great honor.
At least in this regard, Russell's character is quite cat-like. It can be said that at least when he shows his "well-behaved" and "obedient" side, he always has a rather utilitarian attitude. Although he usually has a gentle personality, he will never be in a position to obey orders and follow orders.
When Russell was working in the Special Enforcement Department, he was far inferior to a social animal born of inferiority. The bad ones are the kind of people who can energetically take the initiative to look for other colleagues to do the work when they have no work to do.
And Russell didn't even bother to come to work when he was sure he was dead. This situation became more and more frequent after he confirmed his relationship with Delphinium. Even if he had a job...as long as he could leave it to other people, Russell would rather curl up on the sofa and sleep or play games. Fortunately, both the Paradise Bird and the two angels are good-tempered.
Only when the matter is serious and the problem must be solved by Russell, he will suddenly cheer up, get up, shake his hair, and prepare for a quick solution.
Whether he was treating elves, angels, or even the chairman of the board as his immediate boss, the most Russell could do was to show an impeccable respectful attitude on the surface. Privately, it can be said that there is no respect at all.
Just as Delphinium said before - she even felt that Russell put herself and the three sages on the same level to think and talk.
——But the situation in front of me is completely different.
Delphinium can be sure... Even if Alice is still alive, Russell probably won't show such a posture in front of her. Not to mention the sheath that Russell always wanted to kill.
But she also felt that this was very reasonable.
The old bishop exuded a "reliable" aura all over his body.
Although he was scolding Russell and giving him instructions. But Delphinium can clearly sense the old man's love for Russell through its own spiritual power.
It was not the unconditional doting that an old man usually shows his grandchildren, nor was it the kind of pity and caring love he felt towards his grandchildren.
Rather, the rational old man breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that the younger generation for whom he had high hopes had finally found his own career and determined his life path...but he also wanted to try his best to use himself while he still had some use. The experience of giving each other strict and rational care.
He also knew "Wendy and Alice." Wendy's words...should be Sheath's real name. She still vaguely remembered this inconspicuous name.
Since he knows Sheath's true name and would say it at this time, I'm afraid this old bishop is someone familiar with Sheath from the Cyber Church.
Even though he was betrayed by Sheath, the old man didn't hate him at all, let alone anger at Russell. When he spoke Sheath's true name, Delphinium could taste only a hint of disappointment in his tone. And among his expectations for Russell, there was only relief and hope.
This kind of pure, fair and rational goodwill is like the sun. It can make people feel warm and bright.
No wonder Russell respects and loves him so much.
"Won't you introduce it to me?"
The old bishop suddenly spoke and cast his penetrating gaze on Delphinium: "This... somewhat melancholy lady."
"Hello, my name is Flotte."
Delphinium realized that this person was one of Russell's living elders, so she bowed her head respectfully: "I am Russell's girlfriend..."
"—is my wife."
Russell interrupted.
"Ouch."
The old man's lips were slightly parted and his expression remained unchanged: "My wife..."
"Yes."
After Russell's identity was revealed, Delphinium admitted it shyly and proudly.
"So, is the wedding happening?"
The old man asked solemnly.
"Not registered yet."
Russell whispered from the side: "Our plan is to register tomorrow."
"Are you going to marry me?"
The old man whispered flatly, his words sharp.
"That's not the case," Russell quickly explained, "We have already fallen in love... we just lacked an opportunity to get married."
For some reason, under the majestic gaze of the old man, even Delphinium became a little guilty and timid.
At that moment, she had a strange illusion - as if it was not herself but Russell who was pregnant; at this moment, as the son-in-law who came to visit her for the first time, she was facing the scrutiny and gaze of her father-in-law.
She subconsciously hid next to Russell, and Russell reacted immediately. He covered half of Delphinium's body with his own body.
Russell quietly stretched out his hand, and Delphinium noticed it without lowering his head and held it.
The old man saw all this.
"That's fine."
The old bishop suddenly said: "You young people should handle your own affairs. I am already old, so I won't mind my own business."
After that, he walked in a certain direction.
His steps were steady and powerful, not at all like an old man of his age. To support such a straight spine at such an age, one must have an extremely strong and healthy body.
"You are still young..."
Russell showed a flattering expression and immediately followed him: "I can live for another hundred years!"
"It's not that easy."
The old man shook his head and said without looking back: "It's been almost the past two years."
Although he didn't look back, his voice was rich and heavy, as oppressive as a tower. Although he was standing in front of the two of them, Delphinium could clearly hear every word he said.
Russell stretched out his hand and made a silencing gesture in front of his lips to Delphinium beside him.
His extremely light left hand struck rapidly in the void, and within a second he typed out one sentence:
"Master Bishop, he may be a veteran from a hundred years ago."
veteran?
Seeing this extremely unfamiliar word, Delphinium was stunned for a moment before she could think of its meaning.
"He...was an angel?"
Although there were mortals participating in the religious war a hundred years ago.
But ordinary people should not have such a strong physique. Even though he was only in his twenties when he participated in the war, he was already over 120 or 30 years old by then.
He is obviously not a spiritual relative with longevity. It is impossible for him to live for such a long time and yet look as "young" as an old man in his sixties. Unless he was maintained in physical condition by an angel halo for a long time... that was possible.
"Probably. I didn't dare to ask specifically. I guess he must be someone with a high status."
Russell responded.
Especially after knowing the whereabouts of Paradise Bird's father...he felt this way.
Angels who do not have sufficient abilities or high enough status have long been forced to hibernate and squeezed into juice by the church. Not to mention taking off the halo and becoming human again.
Russell was distracted and thinking.
He said, I saved Hua Mingshu's daughter...
Russell saved too many people. He couldn't remember how many people he had saved, just as he didn't know how many slices of bread he had eaten.
However, there should not be that many people who will be mentioned by the Bishop...
If Russell remembers correctly, the real name of Paradise Bird seems to be "Hua Yu".
Is "Hua Mingshu" the real name of the "Detective" vest?
It has been nearly a year since Russell got this identity, and now he finally learned his real name - because even Paradise Bird didn't know what her father's name was.
As a defecting angel, Hua Mingshu did not reveal his name to anyone in order to avoid being discovered and pursued by the church. Even his wife doesn't know his real name.
Unable to return to his hometown, he can only live alone in a distant place until his death. When future generations pay homage to him, they cannot pronounce his real name... This is undoubtedly unfortunate.
But on the other hand, there are people who silently finish the story for him, there are people who still choose to love him even though they don't know his name, and there are people who still love him many years after his death.
From this perspective, Hua Mingshu may be considered lucky - compared to those who are truly unfortunate.
I feel like the second chapter is interesting, so I should update it before midnight!
