MTL - Overturned Tower-v2 Chapter 33 Lycaon

Listening to delphinium and cinnamon chatting, Russell secretly sighed, feeling a little absent-minded for a moment.

—Because his relationship with Lycaon is actually quite good.

It wasn't Rosso's usual kind of "gentle to everyone" masked friendliness.

But the relationship is really good.

In their class, only two people were admitted to Chong University. One is Russell, and the other is Lycaon.

Although they are no longer in the same class, they are in the same major and the same college. They all belong to the "Information Security and Intelligence Control School", and one of Russell's double degrees comes from the "Information Security and Protection" major.

After all, their knowledge and personal cultural level are on the same level. It is very rare, "I can catch up with my friends."

It is actually very difficult to have such a friend.

Russell has experienced two lives, and he has a deep understanding of this. No matter how good a friend was in the past, if at a certain moment they suddenly can't catch up with themselves, or if they can't catch up with themselves, there will be a huge rift in the friendship.

That is not based on snobbish "abandonment", but because of the contradictions and conflicts in the living environment! "Embarrassment"

When we were in school, everyone was exposed to the same things, and there were endless things to talk about; but after graduation, everyone has their own lives. And if the difference in life between friends is too great, they will lose their common language when they meet again.

At that time, you can only start to "remember your school days" endlessly, or just try to find "things that everyone likes to play". After asking several topics, you can barely find a common topic that brings most people together to chat.

And even a little talk about the current life can easily unbalance the mentality of students who are fragile and stressed, or make it difficult for students who are high above and out of the world to understand and be unable to substitute.

Those who like to work hard, those who don't like hard work; those who abide by the rules, those who are used to rebellion; those who are optimistic, those who are pessimistic... Friends who were similar before will eventually become different.

Even elementary school classmates will become estranged after they enter high school; friends in junior high school will find it difficult to keep in touch when they reach university. Not to mention going from school to society, participating in different jobs, and going to different circles.

If former friends want to continue to be friends, at least one party must choose to accommodate—accommodate the other party, only talk about topics that the other party is interested in, or simply find a way to integrate into the other party's interest circle.

But that's not "friends like old days". After all, the friendship has changed... from two-way and mutual tolerance to one-way and accommodating.

Even if it is to accommodate each other-when two people try to communicate with each other with "maintaining this relationship", that kind of relaxed friendship becomes the fatigue of entertainment.

It's like a wrong marriage that has been exhausted and barely reached the limit, but both parties have to work hard to maintain it.

However, marriage still has children as a bond. This barely maintained friendship is really illusory. As long as there is a small conflict, it will completely disappear and never be seen again.

When Russell was in college, he knew a lot of friends like this. After all, in Sogo Island, very few people who can be admitted to Sogo University are not talents—everyone is a talent, mixed with sporadic geniuses and ghosts.

But the one Russell knew the earliest was Lycaon who followed him from high school.

At that time, Russell hadn't awakened the memory of his past life. In fact, he was just a student with some abnormal talents and somehow understood some strange knowledge.

He really cared about the camaraderie among his classmates back then.

So from the very beginning, Russell valued Lycaon very much.

—Because Lycaon is the kind of person who can keep up with Russell.

He himself has the talent of "scientist" level, and also has the classic "scholar's disease"

In other words, one of the reasons why he was hated and alienated by his classmates

is that he has a lot

Much of what scientists do when they're kids. His lack of popularity is precisely because he is too smart.

Russell once worried that Lycaon would be depressed because of this. So I wanted to enlighten him in the past.

As a result, Lu Kaweng, a real high school student, said a long sentence that Luo Xi didn't expect: "I don't hate them, I just feel sorry for them from the bottom of my heart.

"They are so afraid of their own incompetence, afraid of the future if they will be reduced to inferior people in society...The harm they have done to me will only make me feel that their death is approaching. It is not that they are going to die , but their future possibility is dying.

"Although I myself may not be able to go very far, and I may not be able to persist in several rounds of teacher selection when I really join the Sogo Group. But I will definitely go farther than them—and it is much farther, at least within the Sogo Group I don't think it's a problem to persist until I'm in my 40s. At that time, I can already accumulate enough money and strength, and they will live in a muddle and lose all light.

"I kept staring at them, not remembering their faces, seeking revenge... but trying to make the other party hesitate through the eyes, and then start to reflect.

This is my favor to them - if it makes them realize that something is wrong, realize their own naivety and stupidity, and start to reflect on their behavior, they can still be saved. The future may be a little brighter, and they will thank me then.

"And if they're still dazed and unconscious, then I'm watching them die. Why bother with them when I know they're dead?"

If you want to say how correct and mature what Lycaon said, that's not necessarily the case. Strictly speaking, there is still a little bit of Secondary School.

But as a high school student, you can not just talk about it, but understand this truth from your heart - you can look at the real "future", not just see "college entrance examination", "university", " After graduation", and can accurately judge how far you can go with your own talents, instead of blindly harboring unlimited self-confidence about your future... This is very rare.

And later, after Russell and Lycaon really went to Sogo University, he realized that Lycaon was still humble.

—It turns out that the level of Sogo University is not as high as he thought, so that he can become the chief without using all his strength. And Lycaon's talent is about 70% of Russell's... He may not be able to pass a few rounds of screening, and he may even have the opportunity to enter the worship meeting before the age of fifty and become a doctor of praise. Lycaon may have underestimated himself because the only person he could refer to at the time was Russell.

When Russell left Sogo Island, he didn't know that Lycaon was dead at that time—because he had already joined Sogo Group as a graduate student and started climbing the ladder half a year before that. At that time, Russell was worried that it would affect Lycaon's exam questions, and he was also worried that his friends would keep him, so he just left a regular email and ran away.

After arriving at Happy Island and joining the Special Executive Department, Russell was still thinking that at least he could be promoted faster than Lykaon, so that he wouldn't be too embarrassing.

When he came back this time, he also wanted to chat with his old friend from the past.

The full name of Sogo Group is "Sogo Technology Group", and the core talent source of Sogo Group is the School of Information Security and Intelligence Control. Russell has always been the head of their college, and is studying a double degree in "Prosthetic Body Assembly and Maintenance" and "Information Security and Protection" at the same time. In the information security major, Lucaon can also be ranked in the top five stable majors—the top five majors when the first place is occupied by Russell.

At his level, he has graduated from graduate school for a year... probably already established a firm foothold in Sogo Group. Russell came back wearing the uniform of the executive department executives this time, and he also wanted to show off to his old friend from the past.

For ordinary friends, this kind of behavior is somewhat offensive and inflated, and it is really possible to separate the relationship between the two. But to true friends, the exasperation that such showing off brings is only the appearance of joy.

common saying

Well said, I am afraid that my brother will have a hard time, and I am afraid that my brother will drive a Land Rover. But if a true brother~www.novelbuddy.com~ Even if he really drives a Land Rover and comes back, after the initial slight acidity and imbalance, the attack What is on my mind is definitely not jealousy, but "pride". That is the pride of treating the achievements of brothers as one's own.

But now, Russell has really returned home... The friend he wanted to show off the most to him has already been killed.

And hearing what Chensha meant, it seemed that she was not sure whether she was murdered by someone. This also means... If Lykaon was killed, then the murderer was never found.

—This is Sogo Island!

It is Chongguang Island, which can predict even campus violence in advance and is completely controlled by the three sages!

However, a murder case could not be solved.

Or...the three sages have actually solved the riddle, but they think it's better not to reveal the truth?

In any case, Russell wanted to check.

This class reunion is the best opportunity...they must know more!
