Overturned Tower - Vol 2.3 Chapter 52
After his redshift broke through the wall of Leviathan, Russell could clearly feel that his personality began to undergo some irreversible changes. He gradually began to transcend ordinary people and become something superior…
In other words, he began to be gradually transformed into some kind of “longevity species” by his own psionic energy.
It’s like being an [elf].
Just like elves don’t need sleep—Russell also thought that maybe he doesn’t necessarily need sleep or rest.
But in order to maintain his own people…or in other words, in order to make his brain think that he is still a human being, Russell will still live in the way of ordinary people.
Russell is very satisfied with the current self and is very adaptable. He does not need any “makeover, major update of the level. Just like the old computer system, after getting used to it, he does not want to update it to a new and unfamiliar system.
When Russell and Delphinium walked outside before, he was quite sleepy. After all, he had slept less than ten hours in the past seventy-two hours. And there were more than six hours in it, and he was in the depths of the group subconscious, wiping around like a cleaner.
Of course, this kind of drowsiness is not because his body fatigue started to alarm, but just a psychological effect… In a sense, it is essentially the same as “synthetics think they should go to sleep”.
So, after Russell got home, washed up, and lay on the bed, he suddenly felt refreshed again.
“Speaking of which, sleeping is of course a daily routine for ordinary people.
“But I think staying up late to fish and play games should be the same!”
— Anyway, I don’t need to sleep, so why not save time and find Langyin to play games!
But just as Russell sat up, he was pushed back by the delphinium waiting by the bed.
“Don’t go.”
Delphinium’s attitude was quite firm: “If you are not sleepy, you can sleep with me. I am sleepy anyway.”
“…Then after you fall asleep, can I play games?”
Russell asked cautiously.
Delphinium dragged Russell over and hugged him, put her big fluffy tail on Russell’s lap, and replied with a light smile, “If you can keep me from waking me up, you can.
It’s not impossible at all. Russell thought.
But before he could put the delphinium to sleep, Russell himself fell into a deep sleep.
Lying in his childhood bed, hugging his loved ones, Russell’s spirit was completely at ease.
But this time, Russell didn’t even sneak into the sea of group subconscious to work overtime, nor did he fall into the dream world. He had a very rare good sleep without dreams. When he woke up, he stretched a lot before opening his eyes.
Russell rolled over and lay on his back on the delphinium’s lap.
Delphinium was looking at the edge of the bed where she was sitting on the outer side, next to herself, leaning against the upturned pillows. There was a blue stream of light in her pupils, obviously she was watching some news.
Seeing Russell approaching, Delphinium looked down subconsciously, then stretched out her left hand to touch his chin, and played with the warm cat ears with the other hand.
“how did you do it?”
Russell asked curiously.
He didn’t ask exactly what he wanted to ask, but Delphinium understood what he meant.
“Because you are not completely natural sleep.”
“…Did you drug me?”
“Well, you can say that too.”
The corners of Delphinium’s mouth rose slightly.
She reached out and touched the tip of Russell’s nose, her fingertips were slightly blue.
Russell immediately smelled the faint fragrance of roses.
He immediately reacted: “So that’s it, it’s a new poison…”
“Because even if you fell asleep, you still can’t sleep well. So “Lethal Dose of Love” gave me the third poison. This new poison can block others from entering
The dream world, or the ability to sense the sea of subconscious minds of groups…”
Delphinium smiled and said: “A small amount of poison is medicine. Combined with the poison that can make people unconscious and unconscious before, it becomes a poison that can make you sleep peacefully, and you will not be forced to sleep after falling asleep. Overtime medicine.”
Delphinium’s eyes full of love were previously on the subordinates of the executive department.
What she worries most is that they will lose control and become demons. That’s why she was able to secrete the poison that “forcibly increases the blue shift by one level”.
And later, Delphinium fell in love with Russell. After discovering that Russell always secretly stayed up late, she was very worried about Russell’s physical condition… So she began to secrete a new poison, which can make people fall asleep quickly.
As for now, it is already the third poison. In the past five months, Russell has never had a good night’s sleep.
The feeling visible to the naked eye is that the cat is gradually less jumping and playing games less.
Although Russell didn’t say anything, and didn’t yawn…but Delphinium just felt that he was getting a little tired.
It was a kind of exhaustion from the depths of the soul.
With this worry in mind, Delphinium secreted her third poison—the ability to temporarily seal and isolate others from interacting with the “sea of group subconscious mind”.
If it is used by ordinary people, the demons will not be able to sense him, so they will not be able to awaken their psionic powers; if used by ordinary psykers, there will be no response; if used by mages, they will not be able to enter the dream world…
And if he uses it on Russell, he will not be forced to fall into the maze of the mind every time he sleeps.
“That way, you’ll be able to sleep well.”
“…Then, thank you. ”
Russell expressed his gratitude sincerely: “This is indeed the most solid sleep I have had in the past six months.”
“Do you want it later?”
“No, I still have to help other people clean up their minds polluted by dusk. But if I’m too tired, I can use your ability to take a rest.”
“Then tell me when you’re tired.”
Delphinium said casually, “Otherwise, if I think you’re tired, I won’t notify you.”
She also used Russell as an anchor by the way, stretched out her slender fingers to lightly brush over his face, and turned a page of the news in front of her with gestures.
“I know… In other words, watching the news first thing in the morning is the unique habit of middle-aged men.”
Russell complained.
The next moment, his mouth was gently covered by Delphinium’s left hand.
“Don’t make noise.”
Delphinium whispered, “This is the key.”
“what’s wrong?”
Russell opened his eyes curiously: “Is there something important? Let me see it too!”
“It seems that a lot of big things happened last night, and people died.”
As Delphinium said, she reached out and pressed the news video that was playing in the void, and lightly threw it towards Russell, and shared it with Russell.
“…According to the latest analysis of the worship service, the trajectory of the icon vandals highly coincides with the damage to the cameras around the school streets. Through a comprehensive analysis of other relevant data, it is concluded that the possibility of the main executive members of “Icon Destroyer” being high school students exceeds 62.8%, and this incident is strongly related to “Werewolves.”
“A stern warning again to the imitators of “Werewolf”. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com has arrested more than 30 imitators this month. The Praise Club has decided to increase the penalty level for imitators by one level from now on.”
“Continue to broadcast today’s major news. Last night, the central food warehouse in Hestia District was destroyed again. Some of the fermented food stored in it was polluted by injecting sewage with a syringe.”
The Killer Whale Gang, which had been frequently active in this area before, announced again that they were not responsible for this incident and would assist the Executive Department to jointly investigate this vicious incident.
“This is the sixth time in three months that a food warehouse has been vandalized, and it is also the first time that a food warehouse has been vandalized twice. Two months ago, the “Werewolf” declared
Claimed to insert sharp objects into the bread, and eventually inserted more than 200 steel needles and 2,000 toothpicks into the bread, resulting in a total of 4 people being stabbed.
“It is a suspected imitator who used discarded disposable medical supplies to contaminate Coke that will be sold separately in the central video warehouse of Demeter District last month, causing nearly a hundred people to be sent to the hospital. About 8% of them are still there today. Coke was not recalled, causing extremely bad social impact. This time, the central management manager of Hestia District has sent all food for inspection as soon as possible. The research department of Sogo Group will use the concentration of bacteria in the sewage to analyze the The specific sewage area sampled by the vandals will be analyzed.”
