Chapter 353 What Books Have You Read?

Although the time has not yet reached dusk, the bottom floor of Tongshen Island is still dark. Only the bright and dazzling neon lights flickered on and off.

Sitting in a floating car that flies smoothly at high speed, the lights of the neon signs around you are dragged into arcs of light. Just like sitting in a time machine, there are elongated colorful streams of light in all directions——

Ringo had never seen an aeroplane flying so low.

Objectively speaking, its height is actually not too low. Even in terms of height above the ground, it was twice as high as the floating car she rode in when she was working in the Thoth Psychic Execution Department.

——However, the buildings on Tongshen Island are too tall.

They are nearly 400 meters above the ground, twice the altitude of ordinary aerial vehicles. But the outrageous thing is that it only reaches the chest of the building complex on Tongshen Island.

Yes...the only difference between here and before is that when you look up from here, you can already see the sun.

But these floating vehicles are still wrapped in the building complex.

They draw elegant arcs and pass through the gaps formed by the covered bridges set up in these towering buildings.

This was also the first time that Ringo felt like he was about to crash into a floating car.

At first, she was so frightened that she stared straight ahead. The first-person racing scenes made her so adrenaline that her chip started to alert.

The extended float vehicle that Russell and Ringo boarded can accommodate five people. In addition to the two of them, there was also the tall, beautiful-faced woman with long black hair, and the driver who was always silent at the front.

There are two floating vehicles in front, behind and on the left and right of them. Staggered up and down, flying around them.

If someone shoots at them, these eight small floating vehicles can become a barrier to block bullets.

And because they are staggered up and down, they will not block Russell's path or block their vision.

...In Sun Island, even doctors have never been treated like this when traveling. If it weren't for the admonition of professional ethics, I'm afraid she would have subconsciously turned on the camera function at this moment to record this wonderful scene that she would never see again in her life.

"It seems that my guess is correct."

Qunqing said leisurely beside him.

His clear and soft voice reminds people of the senior who spoke softly with a gentle smile and raised his glasses when he was a student.

That is a similar temperament to the "captain" whom Ringo admires and has a crush on.

The difference from her captain is that at this moment Russell still has a superior aura that makes her afraid to speak loudly... She obviously didn't feel this way just a few minutes ago.

But after Ultramarine talked to himself, something seemed to slowly sink down on him.

To describe it, it's like the turbid tea leaves become stable, and the floating broken tea leaves gradually sink to the bottom, making the tea clear. But just by lifting the cup and shaking it a little, you can make it cloudy again... That's how easy it is to change.

This young hero, who clearly uses the color "Ultramarine" as his code name, but does not have any "Ultramarine" decorations on his body, is chatting with the cold-tempered black-haired woman in words that Ringo can't understand. ——

"I have to admire your emergency response speed when things are about to get out of control, and your pragmatic working attitude."

Ultramarine smiled, her tone and expression gentle, kind and polite: "It's joyful, admirable, and... has to be satisfying."

But for some reason, Ringo always felt like he was laughing at something.

Mainly because the dark-haired woman opposite Ultramarine seemed to have a thorn in her equally respectful attitude. Using this as a mirror, Ringo could barely notice that the atmosphere between the two was not as friendly as it appeared -

It’s just that the people of Tongshen Island like to talk like this. When did Mr. Ultramarine learn this?

"In fact, your omission in intelligence about you has caused us a lot of trouble."

The soft black long hair blocked one eye. The woman with slender horse ears and a cold and elegant temperament said calmly: "If we had known in advance, Ultramarine, the hero of Happy Island who is known for his purity and kindness, is actually like this in his bones. A hero who is 'traditional' and 'intelligent' enough. We wouldn't have asked you to do this.

"But now that everyone has been invited, no matter what bitter consequences it brings, we can only swallow it. Since everything is a problem with our intelligence work, someone will bear the cost of the current response. Please also You don’t need to worry too much, everything can be done according to your subjective wishes, and we will fully cooperate; all consumption standards here have been temporarily upgraded by two levels, and we will act according to the standards of the director of this department."

"……what are you guys saying?"

Ringo, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but ask.

Coming from the Sun Island, growing up in an environment with a strong academic atmosphere... For Ringo, this round-about, seemingly friendly but inexplicably aggressive way of speaking is a bit difficult to understand - she would rather go back and see more novel.

Russell, on the other hand, just showed a soft smile without any malice.

His emerald green pupils were clear and clean, like the purest gems.

That was a face that had nothing to do with conspiracy or politics.

But what he said had nothing to do with his character: "She was complaining that I was too good at acting.

"If they had known that I was not a fool, they would not have invited me to take the blame. But since I saw through their plan before I was tricked, this proved my wisdom, so they accepted their defeat. .

"Since the plan to make me a rubber stamp who can only take the blame failed, then we can only implement the prepared Plan B - truly follow my command and obey my orders to deal with this matter.

"As for the price of choosing the wrong person, someone will naturally be held accountable. It's probably the spy sent to Happy Island by Shenzhen Heavy Industry... the gentleman or lady who thinks I am a harmless and innocent man who is easy to use and hijack."

"...So they want to hold you hostage?"

Ringo suddenly realized.

Her ability to understand such long sentences is infinitely close to that of a bear breaking a stick - basically she can only remember the information of the last sentence.

So the girl was immediately full of hostility towards the black-haired woman, just like a pet dog barking at a stranger: "Mr. Ultramarine, don't believe them! They have lost face with you, and they will definitely not let it go... It says it in the book!”

Hearing this, Russell and the woman both looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Ringo sighed softly, vaguely realizing that he might have said something wrong, and hesitantly closed his mouth.

But she didn't understand what went wrong.

"That's the story of the previous paragraph."

Russell said gently: "The so-called 'testing' is like this. It is precisely because you don't know whether it is a friend or an enemy, whether it is easy to deal with or handle, that you need to test. Pay a small price to gain more benefits, or realize that you are not The best thing is to cut the tail and stop the loss as soon as possible.

"If after the temptation, you know that you cannot be an enemy and cannot be easily manipulated, but you still do not change your attitude, then what is the use of the temptation itself?

"In other words, since they plan to test it out, they naturally have to prepare two plans in advance. Because they have already anticipated another possibility. The so-called 'testing' with only one plan, isn't it just a formality to deceive oneself and others?

“You’ve read too many juvenile novels, Ringo.

“In the final analysis, so-called ‘face’ is the least valuable thing.

"——It is precisely because some people have nothing, can't do anything, and can't go any further in substance, so they pursue 'face' and 'respect' to anesthetize themselves. Let me tell them that it's enough to stop here. It’s amazing.”

"It's like... small ones are cute, right?"

Ringo's brain was overloaded and he subconsciously replied: "If you are really old enough, you don't need to care... eh?!"

She quickly realized what she had said, and her face suddenly turned red with embarrassment, and her ears stood up straight.

She immediately covered her face, her face even turning red to her collarbone.

The expressions of Russell and the black-haired woman suddenly became strange.

"...You usually read more than just juvenile novels, right?"

Russell looked at Ringo hesitantly, and then made a stabbing blow calmly.
