Overturned Tower

The bird of paradise looked at the barber with wide eyes.

She originally thought that this man was just a pervert who simply killed people without blinking an eye...

She could tell that these words came from the barber's sincerity.

Such a wise man who is compassionate and rational enough to understand the truth...why does his behavior appear to be so contradictory?

…could it be said that the reason why he behaves so cruelly towards his “lover” is because he has a desire to punish and sanction “real evil”; and that his gentle actions and attitude towards his “lover” are due to the deep feelings he has for his compatriots who are uncoded. Is there a kind of compassion?

Paradise Bird was confused and seemed to feel that he had come into contact with the essence of the barber.

He seems to be a good man...even if the barber is a mage, he is indeed a good man.

Just like what the barber said.

The people in the upper city are indeed discriminating against the people in the lower city; the people in the lower city are also hating the people in the upper city.

Birds of Paradise understand this all too well.

Because she herself is the best example...

Her parents are from uptown, her father is uncoded and her mother has a microchip. Both of them were old enough to have lived through times of drastic change.

When Paradise Bird was just born, her father could still go back to the upper city; but when Paradise Bird was seven or eight years old, he no longer dared to go back...because from then on, all he had to do was catch the Uncoded Persons Directly exile to the ground, regardless of whether the other party has committed a crime.

On the other hand, the "cave family" whom she regarded as her "second family", although they are very friendly to the paradise bird and respect their mother... But once the group is expanded to include "uptown residents", Each of them spoke with deep hatred for those people.

There are good people and bad people in uptown; it's the same in downtown.

But everyone hates each other - not because of anything specific they have done, but because of where they live and because they have a chip the size of a pinky nail on the back of their head. The most ridiculous thing is that my mother's former relatives... just because they moved to Xiacheng District twenty years ago and did nothing, they became enemies of each other inexplicably.

Discrimination has become justice. Hate is right.

If someone puts forward a different opinion, no matter where or where he is, he will be quickly divided, isolated, and bullied by the groups around him.

Paradise Bird vaguely felt something was wrong.

It wasn't until today that she finally realized the problem clearly:

It’s companies that are cultivating hatred for each other. If Uptown and Downtown see each other as their worst enemies, they'll ignore the company's existence.

Just like the burgers that were originally stacked, they originally looked layered. But after just a few vertical cuts, it became a mess and turned into garbage.

"...I really didn't expect it."

Tovatus looked at the barber and his eyes seemed to sparkle.

He almost boasted in admiration: "In the past twenty years, you are still the first to think of this level. This is even if you have never gone to school or read a book."

Mages are all born without codes and are natives of Xiacheng District. In an era when books are not kept on paper media, this means being insulated from knowledge.

The barber sneered: "It's not that no one thought of it, but that no one dared to say it in front of you."

"Then how dare you?"

"Because I am more carefree and carefree than any of them."

The barber said, and he reached out his hand without hesitation and put it on Tovatus's shoulder.

He lowered his head and looked at Tovatus, showing a gentle smile: "You say so."

Although it was such a gentle smile, the shadow cast by lowering his head made his squinting and smiling face look as sinister as a demon.

Tovatus was a little surprised: "You should know that you and I are of the same kind."

"certainly."

"So you definitely can't beat me."

"I know."

"Then you still dare to threaten me?"

"Because if I succeed in killing you, or if I fail to destroy myself, these are the contents of the threat."

The barber said leisurely, stroking Tovatus' messy short black hair: "Of course... maybe I misunderstood your meaning and mistakenly mistook murderous intent for appreciation?"

"...You did not misjudge. I admit that your threat was effective."

Tovatus took a deep breath and nodded helplessly: "It is impossible for me to kill you. And if I just capture you, it will be meaningless."

"What are you talking about...Discordant?"

At this moment, a low roar suddenly sounded.

Strangler's always hunched body appeared in front of them at some point: "What do you want to do?"

The lion with a white mane met the eyes of the child who was not even taller than his thigh.

"You want to poach my people?"

His tone became lower every sentence, and his voice became louder and louder every sentence. The sound is enough to shake the hearts of ordinary people, and just hearing it is enough to make the chest feel tight.

"You don't think you can really keep him, do you, stupid lion?"

Tovatus's expression turned cold.

He didn't even look at Naosha, and looked eagerly at the barber next to him.

His burgundy pupils burst out with unprecedented and unabashed greed: "Strangulation cannot tolerate you, barber. The way of anger is too narrow for you, and those scum in the Lower City cannot understand your thoughts. , and the company will view you as its mortal enemy—come with me, barber.

"This world is like a birdcage to you. And I am the one who can give you the key."

The barber listened to the arrogance of the discordant, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

At the beginning, there was a round of spraying from all directions, and he didn't know how to answer it.

The barber could only smile helplessly, put his hand back in his pocket.

He lowered his head slightly and looked at Tovatus: "It's not the downtown area, and it's not the company. Then what position are you going to take to win over me?"

"position?"

The young elf boy smiled.

He finally stopped covering up, or opened his eyes like a half-asleep demon.

This childish person with a morbid temperament said lightly: "I don't need that kind of thing.

"——I am my position, and the world should cater to me."

"Then if I agree to you, who will you take me for?"

The barber raised his eyebrows: "Brother? Friend? Like-minded person? Someone who can tell the truth? Inheritor? Teacher?"

On the contrary, Tovatus was a little surprised.

"Why do you think so?"

He replied without hesitation: "Of course it is my most precious collection. I will protect you."

"...The key you promised to the caged bird is another cage?"

The barber even laughed angrily: "Do you think of me as a pet?"

"What you say is a joke. How is this floating island, or even this planet, any different from a huge birdcage? If it weren't for work, I'm afraid you won't be far away from your hometown in your life. How big is this world compared to you? What does it matter? A place you can never reach is just a scenery map in the game.

"Look at you now, you take the free food every day when you are hungry; you do not create value and do not engage in creation; your range of activities is only a little; you have beautiful feathers and only make some chirping sounds. But apart from the owner , others will see it as loud noise..."

Tovatus crossed his arms and said matter-of-factly: "What are you but a little bird?

"But don't be afraid, I will take good care of you... No one can understand your value better than me. At least I will not try to let a bird follow the lion to fight with people."

Russell finally understood.

If strangulation only regards "mages" as the same kind.

Then the elves even go one step further - even mages are not a special identity to them.

"First of all...I am human."

The barber said word by word: "If you don't realize this, just pretend that we have never met today."

"Secondly? By the way, are you negotiating terms with me, little bird?"

Tovatus smiled and took half a step back: "Okay, then I will discuss the terms with you. If you are still unwilling after hearing this, I will never wrong you."

Hearing this, the higher-ups of the organization present, as well as ordinary members on the fringes, all focused their attention.

Join in the fun, be concerned, be curious.

But no matter who it is, they are curious about what kind of exciting price Tovatus, as the leader of the Veil of Ignorance and as an elf, can offer.

But people soon realized that they still underestimated Tovatus.

Because that childish person said lightly in front of everyone:

"So - how about immortality like a giant dragon?"
