Chapter 164 The Name of Psychic Energy (Thanks to Tianzelu for Feeding Bai Yinmeng)

Chapter 164 The name of psychic energy (Thanks to Tianzelu for feeding Bai Yinmeng~)

If things continue like this, maybe Russell will gradually become an important character in some horror comic.

It was his boss who changed everything.

He was a tall, thin, dark-skinned man, but he had no black features whatsoever. He always has a hearty smile, and Russell's roommate Annan often complains about it, saying that "combined with the name of our company, it always makes me feel that the boss is like the human body of some alien god."

In the beginning, the reason Russell was recruited... was because he was touched by his words.

Russell wasn't interested in making games, nor was he obsessed with games themselves.

All he knows about the game is to make it "interesting." Rather than viewing it as a product of entertainment and recreation, it is better to appreciate it as a work of art.

But he doesn't consider himself an artist...and he doesn't need to put his heart and soul on games.

"Himself" is the most fun game.

But that's when he came into contact with the man.

Looking back now, I can't even remember his specific appearance.

But Russell clearly remembered... what his boss said when he saw him for the first time.

At that time, he was recommended by Annan, his roommate and senior, to come for an interview.

The boss was interested in him and showed a smile that frightened him inexplicably:

"Actually, you are more suitable to be an actor than to work here. I think you can become a very good actor... If it were in a world with gods, you might be able to become a saint who descends from gods."

But Russell naturally rejected his nagging proposal and immediately wanted to run away... If he hadn't been forced to stay by his roommate, he would not have joined this company at all.

He felt an extremely strong sense of fear at that time.

Now that I think about it, it should be the fear I feel when my true nature is revealed at a glance.

This is also normal - because "Russell" has never learned about theater performance and does not think that he is good at acting.

He thinks he is sincere... His emotions and emotions at every moment are sincere and not false.

This is indeed the case.

But the problem is that the personality of "Russell" itself is a fabricated mask, which even deceives himself.

Because Russell himself just wants to be a popular ordinary person.

As an ordinary person, he believes that he does not have the talent to be an actor, so he is really "not good at acting."

Until now, with the surging emotions in my heart...

Russell analyzed everything in his past piece by piece, and finally captured the abnormality at that time.

"It turns out that from the very beginning..."

"Russell" is an anomaly.

He plays Russell, and he plays "Russell."

In his previous life, because his parents rated him as "useless", he worked hard to become a useful person;

Because his roommate wanted him to work with him, he joined the company and became the head of the public relations department at a young age;

In this life, because Alice hoped that he could become a big shot, he became the "Hero Ultramarine" and "The Godfather Barber";

Because Deer Head Statue and Bad Sun hoped that he could find the truth of history, he became a mage...

So.

What does "himself" really want?

Or……

How much is left that truly belongs to him?

Just be aware of it.

His face once again burst into cracks like broken porcelain.

But this shouldn't be...

Because he could feel the tail behind him.

At this moment, he is none other than "Ultramarine". It is your original, real body in this world.

It’s not the fake identity created by the mask, but the real self——

But when he stretched out his trembling hand to touch his cheek, he was very clearly aware of the existence of the crack.

Those are the cracks that appear on the face of "Ultramarine".

If Russell himself is also a mask...what would be underneath this mask?

The strong fear of his own existence caused him to be severely shaken.

……No.

But this wavering only lasted a moment.

Because he realizes...that it doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter what you are - what matters is what you do.

He has indeed fulfilled Xiao Liuli's wish, and he is indeed transforming the lower city... Now, he is indeed helping the poor to free themselves from the fate that binds him.

Now, he is also ready to inherit Morgan's wishes.

It doesn't matter even if I am empty and nothing...

Everything he has done, everything he will do, is never false.

"What exactly am I...let others judge."

Russell whispered, the fear in his eyes gradually dissipating.

He stretched out his hand and slowly touched his forehead, his eyes gradually became determined - pale flames gradually ignited from the bottom of his pupils.

"It doesn't matter what I say. It's better to let... future generations comment on everything."

If you don’t know who you want to be.

“Then at least become a useful person.

"Such a wish, I think...

"--correct."

The next moment, he waved his hands suddenly and forcefully.

Like taking off a barber's mask, he suddenly took off Ultramarine's mask.

Pale flames suddenly rose from under the mask, and the flames of each candle became suddenly fierce——

The fire was like a sea, overturning and sweeping over, covering the entire room with graffiti.

When the flames dissipated again, he was no longer in the dark "mourning hall", and there were no longer those "portraits" on the table.

The surrounding environment transformed into a sun-drenched church cloister.

Huge mirrors were hung in a row in front of him.

A red curtain hangs on the mirror at the back, while four huge mirrors in the front have their curtains lifted.

He walked to the first mirror and saw an old man with a compassionate face and silent tears.

He reached out and touched his face, and indeed felt real tears.

Then he slowly walked to the second mirror and saw the young man with a long blue ponytail.

Before he walked quickly to the third mirror, he saw a cat-eared girl with a gentle smile and dressed in home clothes.

He walked briskly towards the fourth mirror.

Looking sideways, he saw a cheerful boy with cat ears.

"ah."

The boy in the mirror smiled and said, "You found me."

"[Vessel of God]."

Russell replied very definitely: "This is your name."

"This is—our name is right."

Russell in the mirror smiled and replied: "In my opinion, you are the person in the mirror."

As Russell reached out, wanting to touch himself in the mirror.

But when he was about to touch the mirror, he clenched his fist.

The fist surface and the fist surface were gently touching each other through the mirror.

"first meet."

Russell said seriously.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"Russell" replied with a smile.

The next moment, the whole world suddenly shattered.
