Overturned Tower

After Russell's words came out, Xiao Liuli also knew that she could no longer ask anything from Russell.

Because after deriving this sentence, all questions can eventually lead to this conclusion. This is the gravity of words.

Why didn't you use a gun at that time, why did you take such risks, why did you become so brave, why did you sacrifice your life to fight...or why you wanted to kill someone, why did you illegally carry psychic weapons, Russell can finally tell leads to this same conclusion.

The former's answer is, "This is all to protect the captain"; while the latter's answer is because "this ultimately protects the captain", and it is difficult for her to ask further.

Otherwise, I'm afraid Xiao Liuli will be complained by the angry captain.

When Russell protected the captain, he was also protecting himself, which provided sufficient motivation; and he also indirectly protected the people on the airship, the airship itself and the buildings that collapsed after the airship fell. Doubt is his merit.

But what Russell said is obviously stronger and more powerful than the answers to these questions separately, and is more suitable for writing in a daily newspaper. And even if Xiao Liuli continued to ask questions, she would only be able to get a similar answer from Russell. On the contrary, her professionalism would be questioned... It would be better to keep the interview topic to the essentials.

After Xiao Liuli took the initiative to exchange contact information with Russell, she took the staff and security personnel and left in a helicopter.

After that, the enthusiasm of the passengers in the cabin suddenly burst out.

It was only after they arrived at their destination that they learned that the airship they had been on had been hijacked - and the thugs who hijacked the airship were a very vicious group of wanted criminals called the "Tower of Babel"... …Even the crew of the airship were mercilessly killed and thrown into the sea without a burial place.

Although their target should be someone in first class. But when the airship's fuel was almost exhausted, in order to delay the landing, they still did not allow the captain to land.

After all, if the airship lands, these mercenaries modified by prosthetics can still jump out. But those ordinary people will definitely suffer.

"Say quickly, thank you brother."

A lady with slender horse ears held her daughter's shoulders and taught her patiently.

The girl who looked to be only five or six years old raised her head and said to Russell seriously in a milky voice: "Thank you, brother."

After the girl finished speaking, she asked curiously: "Is my brother...a hero?"

Russell was stunned for a moment.

He felt a little dazed by the girl's words for a moment.

The cat-eared boy touched his ears and smiled sadly: "Brother doesn't know either."

...These days, do young girls who have to be taught by their parents to even say thank you know the word "hero"?

She probably doesn't even know how to write the word hero, let alone what it represents.

But she could remember the word on her own, and hoped that Russell was the hero in her imagination.

This was the first time Russell vaguely realized what kind of "hero" people in this world longed for...

It does not require the hero to have any merits or standards, save anyone, or do any great deeds...but first create an imaginary hero, and then hope that people in reality can become it.

Where are the people here? This is an imaginary god, a symbolic savior.

No wonder there are so many heroes with explosive personalities these days.

How good do you have to be to satisfy people’s fantasies about heroes...

Just realizing this made Russell feel even heavier.

"Please don't say that-"

A lady who looked to be in her thirties, wearing glasses and with bird feathers behind her ears, heard this and said eagerly: "There is no doubt that you who saved us are a real hero in our eyes!"

Russell remembered her.

This person came out of the first class cabin specifically to thank Russell after Xiao Liuli left.

Passengers in public cabins are only threatened by the possibility of "empty boat crashing". But these first-class passengers were truly uploaded with viruses and had their memories stolen. Moreover, they didn't even know which person in the first class cabin the group of people had designated.

Guests who can travel first class will more or less have some secrets in their minds.

If those gangsters are allowed to leave, then all of them will be unlucky - without being able to determine "whose memory the gangsters stole", all of their memories can only be regarded as lost, and everything they control All information is considered to have been leaked. This can't be left to chance.

This will undoubtedly cause their companies to suffer huge economic losses. Countless people will have to work overtime for this, and countless plans will be forcibly terminated because of this. The company's think tank and senior executives will meet all night long to re-determine the direction of these plans. Some secret and important locations will be abandoned, and they must re-migrate servers and other equipment. It is not even known how many people must be forced to move.

And all of them in the first class will pay a heavy price for this...even if they have not made any mistakes, or even if they are the victims of this incident.

After all, someone has to be held accountable for the company's losses.

In this regard, Russell is their hero.

Russell beheaded the robbers before the airship landed, ensuring that the confidential information in their heads was not leaked. He saved countless small companies that were in danger of survival... and prevented the evaporation of resources to a certain extent.

"I wonder where Mr. Russell plans to find a job when he comes to Happy Island?"

A man with glasses and antlers on his head asked seriously: "I am the marketing manager of Tianen Group... This is my electronic business card. If you are interested in working at Tianen Group, I can We will contact you with a salary starting at R4.”

As he spoke, he handed a business card that looked like crystal and was inlaid with many silver threads to form a pattern, and handed it to Russell with both hands.

This kind of business card, which is as expensive as a work of art, can read the identity information of the other party by simply swiping it on the prosthetic body without inserting a chip slot. While it is safe enough, it also has a certain collection value.

After Russell thanked him, he took the business card away.

He had learned before... In Tianen Group, the R4 level was not considered low. It is roughly equivalent to the levels of "technical director" and "senior engineer".

The marketing manager himself has a salary of R5, so he is very sincere in introducing Russell to the starting job of R4. Of course, this is also related to Russell’s academic qualifications and mentors.

But of course Russell would not ruin the other person's face by saying that the "uncle" he wanted to seek refuge with was the other person's immediate boss.

These first-class guests, without exception, all came out to thank Russell.

Some hope to arrange jobs for Russell, some want to make friends with Russell... and some want to treat Russell to dinner.

The most generous among them was the man who appeared last, wearing brown sunglasses indoors, with slightly dark skin, and spoke carelessly. He directly claimed that he would give Russell a villa, a floating car, a maid and a driver. At that time, he immediately made Russell lose his ability.

The other first-class passengers around him were also confused by these words and didn't know what to say.

Of course, they also planned to give Russell some thank you gifts - but this kind of words were not suitable to be said openly.

If you really want to express your gratitude, why don't you just add friends and send money privately?

Saying such words in front of a crowd... is undoubtedly a loss of the value of the identity of a "hero".

——It’s as if Russell did it just for the money.

This doesn't feel like a thank you, but like pointless trouble.

Even the tourists who were watching on the edge suddenly felt a little disgusted with this man.

Amirus, who was still watching from the sidelines, came to the rescue and drove the man away with a few words. He also helped turn down other people's requests to invite Russell to dinner and accommodation - the reason was that he wanted to help Russell deal with his wounds as soon as possible to avoid leaving scars.

People suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

After all, no matter what, no one dares to compete with an old elf for wealth.

This is a monster that has lived from more than a thousand years ago to the present, and its gold content is higher than that of any thousand-year-old family. Who knows where it is...

Russell, on the other hand, looked steadily at the man's leaving figure, thoughtfully.
