Overturned Tower - Vol 2.3 Chapter 58
Alice’s urn is not as gorgeous as others—studded with precious stones, etched with various complicated decorations, and handmade using various rare materials.
It was the most plain white stone box without any decorations on it. Not even the photo above, just one photo.
Alice, who looked only in her twenties, showed a gentle and cheerful smile.
She is wearing home clothes, with part of her hair **** in front of her left shoulder. The other part of the hair is casually scattered behind.
And she was squatting on the ground, holding the little Russell who looked only five or six years old. Intimate face close to face.
The young Russell had fluffy bob hair and wore a long-sleeved sweater with a sleeveless sweater over it. He was held in Alice’s arms very politely. He didn’t struggle at all, but showed a gentle smile just like Alice. The wet green pupils made him look more like a cute little girl.
“That smile…”
Delphinium murmured in a low voice, frowning.
With her familiarity with Russell and Alice, she immediately noticed the problem.
The similarity between these two people is not just because they have a mother-child relationship… If you look carefully, you will find that Russell’s expression is “exactly the same” as Alice.
Because they are too similar…so after Delphinium realizes this, she will feel a little creepy.
And Russell guessed delphinium’s thoughts.
He explained softly: “At that time, I hadn’t awakened the memory of my previous life. I would instinctively imitate the people around me. Among the people I came into contact with, the most approachable and I think the most remarkable person is me. mother.
“In the beginning, Alice didn’t realize the problem. Because children imitate adults, and she is also a first-time mother, and she also lacks some common sense… So until I went to school, she thought it was normal. .
“Including the speed at which I learned listening, speaking, reading and writing, she didn’t realize the abnormality. Because before I went to school, I basically only came into contact with Alice… My tone of voice and clarity, including the expression and demeanor when I talk to people, are all different. Exactly the same as Alice. She just thought I was smart and precocious and didn’t realize the magnitude of the problem.
“It wasn’t until I made other children cry that Alice first realized that my learning ability was abnormal.”
“…Why did you cry?”
Delphinium was a little strange: “With Alice’s character, she shouldn’t bully people, right?”
“I didn’t actually do anything.”
Russell shook his head: “Did Langyin tell you before that I was naughty when I was in elementary school? But in fact, I was not so naughty at the beginning.
“There was a kid in the class at the time. His behavior was very special… very funny and cheerful. It took him only a few days and he quickly became friends with many people in the class. The naughtiest person in the class was actually He, not me, not to mention Langyin, even the teacher remembered it wrong.
“I had only been in school for a few days, and I was attracted by his energetic posture and wanted to play with him.
“But when I was chatting with him, because I wanted to make friends with him and envied that he could make friends with other people, I subconsciously imitated his movements, his expressions, his tone, and his thinking Way.
“Then, he suddenly realized something instinctively, and began to look at me with terrified eyes, as if seeing something indescribably frightening… Then he suddenly howled and burst into tears.
“At first, the teacher thought that I had hit him, but after watching the surveillance video, I realized that I was just chatting with him. Whether it was a teacher, a classmate, or the child’s parents… even him He himself didn’t even realize what he was afraid of.
“‘Being afraid just because others imitate you, this kind of thing is incomprehensible to others. And because I was afraid, I subconsciously hid what I learned after imitating. Instead, I used Alice’s posture, Apologize to them simply and sincerely.”
Russell looked at Alice’s photo and said softly, “Alice was there at the time.
“She still didn’t realize the problem at that time, so she apologized with the same tone and expression as me. The teachers all lamented my politeness and well-behaved, and comforted Alice.
“But that child seems to be very inspired… just like you now. He recognized it at a glance, and the smiles of me and Alice are ‘exactly the same’. This made him cry again in fear, making a fuss non-stop.
“Because he would cry, tremble, and retch when he saw me, so in the end he had to transfer to another school and leave. I also felt that a friend left me for this reason. Sadness and pity.
“One by one, I took his place in the class at a very fast speed with the ability and character I acquired by learning him. At that time, the students hardly thought about things, and soon the impression in their hearts became me.
“Because I’m also smarter and calmer than he is when he’s really playful and lively. I rely on the likability I learned while imitating Alice, and my natural sensitivity to other people’s emotions. My naughtiness never crosses the line—I never do something obnoxious, and every time I make a joke I think about undoing it.
“Soon, I completely replaced him. The child’s first friend became my friend with almost no transition. And, I did better than him.”
“For example, a teacher was sad because she didn’t have a boyfriend in her thirties. So when she celebrated her birthday, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com I made a fake cake with only an outer shell and said yes The handsome male teacher next door asked me to give it to her. He wanted to wish her a happy birthday. But when she happily opened the cake packaging, she found that there was only a flower carved with a wooden board. “I smiled and told the teacher Said, I’m a bad boy, I lied to you, I’m really sorry—there’s no handsome guy, and there’s no cake… But I made this flower myself, and it’s a birthday present for the teacher.”
Russell stared at Alice’s photo, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised: “The teacher was crying and laughing at the time, and warned me not to do this in the future, and even hugged me and sucked a couple of times. Although she looked very fierce, I was keenly aware of it. To… the teacher is very happy.
“When Alice came to pick me up that day, I had a long chat with the teacher. Finally, the teacher took a picture of us.
“-that’s it.”
Russell touched the photo lightly and murmured in a low voice:
“This is the first photo in my life and the last photo in Alice’s life.
“It was also from this time that Alice realized that I was different. She handed me over to the bishop to learn the principles of life.”
