Overturned Tower

After the physical examination, Russell lay on the treatment bed and began to receive treatment.

After the wound on the back was carefully cleaned, its true shape was finally revealed.

Only then did Russell learn that his injuries were quite serious—the largest wound was two and a half fingers thick and nearly a palm long. Besides that time, there were five or six smaller wounds on the back... But to say they were small, they were probably equivalent to being lightly scratched by a sharp knife.

"It's already hurting the muscles."

Doctor Niutou made a deep voice and warned Russell: "If it's one centimeter off, your spine will be injured!"

He first sprayed a light mist of medicine on Russell's wound, and then applied a light yellow cold ointment to the wound.

Except when he was first sprayed with the medicine...after that, Russell didn't feel the slightest irritation.

Even if you cut your finger and apply alcohol on the wound, it will be much more painful than this.

It should be a medicinal mist used to relieve pain or numb wounds.

Russell's heart moved.

This thing is pretty good... you can do a little bit of it.

After the ointment was fully applied, these white coats took out a milky white and delicate paste attached to the transparent film, layer by layer, very gently covering it on top of the ointment, and then peeled off the film. open.

...The skillful technique reminded Russell of the master who applied film to cell phones in the night market in his previous life.

Each time a layer was applied, they irradiated it with a handheld ultraviolet lamp for a moment and then applied another layer.

This process only lasted less than five minutes.

After the three of them dispersed, they motioned to Russell to reach out and touch the wound on his back.

In addition to feeling a little warm from the wound, what he touched with his hand was the same delicate touch as his own skin.

Russell couldn't feel the pain at all, and couldn't even notice the existence of the wound.

"This does not heal your injury immediately, it is just a high-end bandage. It can temporarily replace your missing skin tissue and accelerate healing... When your injury is almost recovered, it can be directly transformed into The base of your new tissue does not need to be removed separately."

Another man in a white coat said: "You can also take a bath, see water, and get wet in the rain normally without worrying about the wound being contaminated and inflamed. A wound of this degree can be healed in as little as forty-eight hours. But if within the next two days, If the back is severely injured again, the hemostatic material may be contaminated due to bleeding. In that case, remember to come here to change the dressing, otherwise it may cause spondylitis."

After Russell nodded in agreement, the three of them resigned to Amirus.

After that, Amirus took Russell away.

What Russell didn't expect was that... Amirus didn't have a real home on Happy Island.

He doesn't have a house of his own. So he took Russell directly to the most luxurious hotel on Happy Island - the "Taohuayuan" Hot Spring Hotel named after Taoyuan Trading Company.

This is a hot spring hotel built on the snow-covered mountains far away from the city center of Happy Island.

The forty-nine-story hotel looks more like a spire or obelisk than an ordinary hotel. The door of this hotel is not on the first floor, but on the forty-ninth floor. If you want to go to or leave here, you can only take a float car. If you want to enter here, you need to make a reservation some time in advance...or more distinguished guests can register their car number directly here.

Because the appointment time does not have to be long, and the float vehicle must be in your hands during this period. This means that you must own at least one floating vehicle to meet the basic requirements for entering this hot spring hotel.

Russell was taken into the hotel by Amirus.

They passed the elevator and went directly to the lowest floor - to Russell's surprise, this place was actually under the sea.

They were in a wall with a high degree of transparency, and the lights were quite dim. Outside this wall is deep black water, and you can see many strange fish swimming around that are only found in the deep sea...

But theoretically, it is impossible for him to reach the deep sea.

Even if this hotel is at its lowest, it will never reach the bottom of the sea, or even touch the surface of the sea. Because in terms of depth, it hasn’t even entered the downtown area yet.

Because the gravity of the lower city is reversed, it is very easy to judge.

As long as you jump from various deep underground wells and exceed a certain height, you can reach the "Shadow City" on the other side of the floating island.

Russell heard his mentor say...many years ago, when Xiacheng District was first built, it was to accommodate the "automatic production institutions" that produce all kinds of daily necessities, the "regeneration judgment institutions" responsible for resource recycling and garbage destruction, and the "recycling judgment institutions" responsible for seawater The three-category necessary factories of the "Water Source Management Agency" that purify sewage discharge should not occupy the living space on the surface of the island. It is only in recent decades that this place has become a shadow city where "uncensored people" such as mercenaries, criminal organizations, and illegal psychics are active.

And even Xiacheng District is very far away from the sea. For them, the sea is the sky, and there is no sun above the "sky".

In other words, the black sea water enclosed by a transparent cover outside is actually an "artificial seabed" made using technological means.

Not only do they imitate the unique color of the lightless seabed, they can even allow creatures captured from the seabed to live safely - just being able to capture seabed creatures is incredible. More than 95% of the fish, shrimp, shellfish and other foods in this world are freshwater river products. Because the cost of fishing from the sea, let alone the deep sea, is too great. Even the best university on Sogo Island has never taught what deep-sea creatures are and what the deep-sea environment is... Even if you specifically search on the Internet, you can't find this kind of knowledge at all.

Russell could barely recognize that these were deep-sea creatures and that this was a deep-sea environment, thanks to the knowledge from his previous life.

"This simulates a deep-sea environment five hundred meters below sea level with an almost constant temperature."

Amyrus chuckled and explained: "By the way, the second floor of the hotel is in a shallow sea environment, which is much more beautiful than here, as if solidified in blue amber. I brought you here, it is really Because this experience is quite rare.”

really.

Russell couldn't help but nodded.

Even in his previous life, he had never eaten in this kind of "deep sea restaurant".

This is indeed a unique and rare experience.

Russell even couldn't help but take a few photos - although he didn't have prosthetic eyes, so he couldn't take ultra-high-precision photos, nor could he adjust filters and contrast, but at least he could still take photos with normal definition. of.

As for the taste of the food, of course there is no need to say more.

The quality of food has always been closely related to technology. With the blessing of technology in this era, the most top-notch and high-end restaurants will certainly not be inferior.

The space here is so wide that you can even play football in the restaurant.

But there weren't many customers inside...or rather, they weren't all dining in the restaurant on the first floor.

After all, this deep-sea restaurant is too dark. It’s okay to come here once or twice out of curiosity. If you come here too many times, you won’t feel happy, but will feel scared.

The only guest dining here is the elf Amirus. Other human beings are all types whose spiritual relatives obviously like darkness.

For example, the lizard man who enthusiastically came over to ask Russell if he could take a photo with him. His head is indistinguishable from that of a lizard. Most of the body's skin is covered in scales;

There was also a middle-aged man with a serious Chinese character face and some owl features, who came over to flatter Amirus in a low voice, and his tone and attitude towards Russell was also very good.

Although Russell's coat was still stained with blood, it had a slight odor and was not considered clean.

However, these upper-class people who were able to enter the "Peach Blossom Land" to eat, each of them smiled sincerely at Russell, who was dressed in tattered and dirty clothes.

Their smiles are really real - as real as they can be.

But with Russell's sensitivity, he could still tell... hidden under their smiles were many complex emotions such as fatigue, vigilance, disgust, fear, etc.

That's the fear of "heroes".

Only then did Russell finally realize what the overly entertaining name of "hero" actually meant...

Why are so many people fascinated by it and worshiping it——

In this world without written laws, as long as it is reasonable... even murder can be forgiven.

The conglomerates control the media, and the media controls public opinion. And public opinion continues to shape heroes.

But the "hero" has the ability and possibility to flip the table, so he is feared by people.

He might only be able to make one reasonable move. Once he abuses people's good impression of him, the boat will eventually capsize... As long as he makes a small mistake and gets the right opportunity, he will become the target of public criticism.

Revealing old scores, taking quotes out of context... Under the attack of many forms of public opinion, the reputation of a hero will soon collapse.

Because of this, some people try to gain profits by selling off the value of their name, just like celebrities selling naming rights to inferior products while they are still popular... There are also people who never consume it, but exchange it for it. Power and voice.

Like a sword of Damocles hanging high.

When the hanging sword really falls, it won't be scary anymore. It is no different from falling rocks or falling ice picks, and it has lost all its magical power that can shock people.

If you just raise this sword, it will be no different from a thug. It is really just an ordinary... sword that can be blocked and knocked down.

But if it remains quiet and high, it can make the tyrant who is above him panic all day long.

-The hero must remain silent.

Russell raised his head and looked at Amirus who was looking at him with a smile.

There was some hesitation in his heart.

...Your Excellency Amirus brought himself here specifically to show himself the intimidating power of a "hero"...?

But what good will this do to Amirus?
