Overturned Tower

It's not so much "can't die".

It’s better to say “I don’t dare to die”…

Under Russell's gaze, the inferior said slowly:

"After I inherited a part of his destiny...the destiny of the 'Son of Opposition'.

"Because of this fate, I cannot resist 'Father'. And he cannot take the initiative to kill me.

"'Destiny' has determined that there is a relationship between father and son. So we must get along as father and son on the surface... This is not a weak thing like 'consensus', but a self-enforcing constraint.

“But I also have my own way of resisting.

"As long as I don't die because of this... As long as I am assassinated, sniped, or poisoned by someone who doesn't know my origin without deliberately seeking death... then I will win.

"And he can't stop me without a reasonable enough excuse."

The cold words of the inferior made Russell realize the truth of the matter.

...So, the inferior will always be so angry.

But his anger was so empty and pale. He had no idea why he was resisting, nor what he was resisting.

He cannot live. Nor can he die.

He cannot choose death because of his origin, nor can he die because of his origin. Because that confirms this fate.

He also cannot give birth to children, which represents continuation - he cannot even extend his own life and transform himself to obtain eternal life.

He was seeking a reasonable, involuntary death.

That's why he joined the Special Enforcement Department.

And his father cannot artificially interfere with the behavior of the inferior. He can only do what a father "should" do, such as protecting his children from being killed by other elves. He can't kill the bad ones with his own hands, or sit back and watch the bad ones commit suicide - even if only the bad ones are killed. By committing suicide, he can escape the shackles of fate, but before that, he must do his best to protect his heirs.

...Elf is such a twisted life.

For the first time, Russell understood what the "destiny" that the elf kept talking about was.

That is engraved in the logic of behavior and must be followed. Even the bad ones as children inherit part of their "destiny."

Because of this hatred, the inferior must live in pain.

His destiny cannot be cut off until he dies from something or dies naturally due to old age.

——That’s why he is not afraid of death. Even looking forward to death.

He was just waiting for a reasonable excuse to die that could fool him.

That’s why the bad guy’s mother tries to poison him to end his pain in this life…

This will certainly free the elves from their bondage and gain eternal life.

But for her, this at least makes the inferior no longer suffer. This love is natural and genuine.

"……etc?"

Russell suddenly realized something.

He asked the inferior: "So, what is the name of your mother's spirit?"

"Have you finally realized it?"

The corners of the mouth of the inferior one are slightly raised.

He showed a weak smile that was a little pale and a little joking: "Her psychic power is called...

"[Lethal love]. Yes, it is the same psychic energy as the minister."

"Psychic powers...could they be the same?"

Russell was a little surprised.

The inferior shook his head: "No, it is true that psychic powers with the same name will not appear at the same time. But as long as it is not 'at the same time', it will be fine.

“My mother died on my eighteenth birthday. That was eight years ago.

"And the minister's psychic power was awakened six years ago...she was already sixteen years old when she awakened her psychic power.

"I know that there is a theory of 'reincarnation' in some psychic theories. But the psychic inheritance relationship between the mother and the minister proves the failure of this theory."

"...Ah, I know this."

Russell nodded.

When he was in school, he also heard about the theory of "soul reincarnation", which was only denied in recent years.

Was that the reason?

"That's why...you always respectfully call Delphinium 'minister'?"

"That's part of the reason."

The inferior looked at Russell and said with relief: "Don't worry. There's nothing bad to say. Anyway, even if I don't tell you, the minister will find an opportunity to tell you.

"But I actually don't have that many taboos at all. Just thinking about that man makes my head spin...but I don't care about talking about it, you don't have to worry about me."

--not like this.

Russell thought.

The more you emphasize that you don't care, the more you actually care in your heart.

Just try to deceive yourself through this method of repeated persuasion.

Just like the inferior ones had no reaction to the term "hibernation" before.

According to the theory of "hibernation", the bad ones were just like the second grade of middle school disease... shouting "kill you" and "kill me" every day.

The difference from Chuunibyou is that the inferior ones really live in pain, rather than moaning without illness.

However, there is one place that is the same...

If a person's core has really changed, then when he recalls his dark history, even if he doesn't feel ashamed, he will feel a sense of nostalgia or sadness.

But the bad ones have no reaction to the dark history revealed by "Hibernation".

That means he is still in the process of this black history!

Therefore, the inferior person actually has no change at all from the person he was four or five years ago.

Loneliness forced him to take care of himself, and pain made him look much older than he actually was.

And in order to maintain his "anger" instead of "reconciling" and "admitting defeat" as time goes by, he will also have no time to grow.

——He is still the same boy.

Compared with Russell, the Inferior looks mature and stable, but he is a reliable senior, the embodiment of justice, and the nemesis of evil.

But he didn't have that kind of "justice" in his heart. In terms of mental age, he might be much younger than Russell.

...However, this kind of confusion and emptiness made Russell feel inexplicably nostalgic.

Before he came to this world... he had a friend who also had a personality similar to that of a bad guy.

But unlike the bad guy, that guy acted competently and decisively. Even if you have no desire or motivation in your heart, it will never affect your behavior. Being calm and rational is really reliable.

And Russell has been taken care of by him.

But compared to Russell, who has now matured, the inferior is much more immature at heart.

……how to say.

Russell's mood was a little complicated.

Although the relationship between good brothers is usually that of father and son. But now that there is a cub who seems like his good brother, Russell is a little at a loss as to what to do.

But Russell at least understood one thing, and that was why Delphinium often scolded the inferior, but the inferior did not talk back.

Because although he is the oldest, he is the one with the youngest mental age in the Special Enforcement Department!

As long as you're not harsh, that's a good thing.

At least you don’t have to start arguing with the inferior person by saying, “I was too gentle before, or are you in the rebellious stage?” Although strictly speaking, the inferior person’s rebellious stage has not passed yet, and it may not pass in the future. .

However, if he can be reasoned with, his distorted personality may not be unbreakable.

Of course, this must first solve the problem on the inferior's father's side. At least I definitely can’t hold back and help the inferior ones.

But there is actually a point here.

That is, Russell may not be able to solve the problems that the inferiors are troubled by...

Although Delphinium may not have thought of this possibility, Russell's core is not native to this world. He didn't have that much awe in his heart.

In Russell's view, this endless loop can actually be easily solved.

——As long as the bad guy doesn’t know, it’s enough to kill his father secretly. If he knew, he would have to tip off the news under the constraints of fate... But as long as the bad guy didn't know, and as long as Russell acted quickly enough, the bad guy would be free.

Since this complex problem can be simplified into "where to go and how many to kill", Russell's idea immediately became clear!

It just so happens that Russell is still preparing to become a spy on all sides.

With the help of the Tower of Babel, Russell might actually be able to do this.

On the other hand, the head of the elf director...maybe also can be used as a good certificate of nomination.

Have you ever heard of a young master presenting his head? Do you know what a horn burst is?

The one who was sacrificed happened to be the enemy in terms of position. He was only Russell's apparent ally, but not Russell's real ally.

This is called a win-win situation - both Russell and the underdog win, and on this basis, Russell can win two more times.

However, this happy event cannot be told to the inferior yet.

Just suffer for a while longer... Senior.

Russell thought.

Wait for me to kill your father, and then come back to tell you the good news.
