This culprit that has run through many lives and has directly or indirectly caused the casualties of many brothers has finally surfaced today!
If you want to rank the most threatening forces and arms of the Night Demons.
So the first one is not an assassin, nor a singer, nor a deep sea monster like Godzilla.
It's the enemy's almost all-pervasive reconnaissance unit - the Listener!
It monitors the human world, it seems to be everywhere, and it can make the world without little secrets.
It also makes future foreseeers like Meng Lang sleepless and sleepless...
Compared with the "clairvoyance" of satellites, the "shunfeng ears" that are always hidden under the water surface make all brothers feel like they are stuck in the throat.
Meng Lang has been investigating the listener's true face. However, after so many lives, the other person has never shown his true face.
If we want to say what is the biggest gain from this "Special Operation Jinghai Welfare Institute", then revealing the truth about the listeners will definitely be at the forefront!
The answer is unexpected, but it seems reasonable...
In fact, Meng Lang had already had vague suspicions before today...
[When we rushed in, Chao’s family had fallen to the ground. Except for the body of a pet dog, no one was alive...]
I still remember that there was such a slightly abrupt description during the raid on the Chao family in "Walking Alone on the Moon".
Ordinary people may not think much about it, after all, it is just a dog.
It's hard for a two-legged person to run, but a four-legged dog doesn't have a hole to dig into?
However, for Meng Lang, who had just obtained the true identity of the "god race", as long as it was a living body with a nervous system, even a non-human creature, it was entirely possible for it to become a "carrier" for the enemy.
That’s what they call “the dependent family”!
People can do it, why not dogs?
The entire family was killed, and a dog escaped...
You said you're not the only "suspect dog"?
Looking back at the results obtained from "Jinghai Welfare Institute Strategy", everything seems to suddenly become clear.
In the form of a "god race", in the new living environment of the earth, I am afraid that it does not have much ability to move.
It needs to carry out activities on the earth in a parasitic manner to clear the way for the so-called "seeds" to come.
Units such as assassins and singers have chosen humans as their parasitic targets.
But the special listening class of listeners is obviously not suitable. After all, compared to other animals, human hearing is not that good.
Of course, Paramecium will not work either. According to Meng Lang's inference, the parasite of the "gods" requires at least one creature with sufficient brain capacity and relatively developed hearing...
A creature with good hearing, intelligence, and the greatest suspicion...
Isn’t it just a dog?!
Dogs have well-developed hearing, can hear sounds within a few kilometers, and are even more sensitive to infrasound waves. Therefore, dogs are one of the creatures that can predict earthquakes in advance.
And through biological modification, its auditory system may be strengthened.
More importantly, dogs are creatures with a special "civilized status"...
There is a saying that you don't have to be everyone's best friend, that's God's job for dogs.
Dogs can be found everywhere in almost every city and every village.
Watchdog, pet dog...
A remote and declining city may be devoid of people, but it will never be devoid of wild dogs...
Dogs are everywhere on this planet!
Even in a tightly guarded military restricted area, it can come and go freely. After all, who would care about a dog?
Strong hearing, deeply trusted by humans, wide range of activities, strong mobility...
Thinking about it from his perspective, if Meng Lang was a night demon, he probably wouldn't be able to find a more suitable "listening unit" than a dog.
In the Jinghai Welfare Home, apart from the orphans, the only people raised were a group of stray dogs.
This makes them even more eye-catching...
In Meng Lang's original raid plan, these most troublesome reconnaissance units had to be cleared in advance, otherwise they would be exposed in advance before the encirclement was formed.
Meng Lang had already thought of the sign for the blockade - [No idlers or dogs allowed!]
As an important base, there is likely to be more than one listener near Jinghai Welfare Institute.
Therefore, without being able to pinpoint the targets, he could only choose to kill a thousand by mistake rather than miss one!
But while covering the battlefield, how not to alert the other party becomes a problem...
Using a demon hunting team and pretending to be a "dog stealing gang" is one way.
But one or two is fine, but if you arrest dogs on a large scale around the orphanage...all fools will know there is a problem.
Use policy weapons?
For example, dispatching urban management to the whole town to catch dogs?
But if you only seize Jinghai Town, the rest of the world will be peaceful. No matter how you look at it, it is too abrupt.
If possible, he would like to simply impose a global dog ban to limit the enemy's reconnaissance and infiltration.
However, it is too difficult to operate.
Banning dogs? You must have a reasonable reason, otherwise the spittle of those dog lovers will drown you, or at worst, they will slap you with a big label of animal cruelty.
Meng Lang originally had a headache. The scout chosen by the enemy was really disgusting.
He can't be hit, he can't be scolded, he can't be scolded.
Do we just have to watch the other person wander around openly in front of us and eavesdrop on the corner?
However, this strategy provided Meng Lang with another way to solve the problem.
It is difficult to ban dogs globally. We can do a regional preview first. As for the method...
Isn’t Director Zhang this morning the breakthrough?
If you walk your dog without a leash, it is inevitable that the dog will bite someone. Cheng Biao is by no means the only victim!
It is very common for dogs to bite people in the community.
What scares pregnant women, bites children, and vicious dogs hurt people happen almost every day across the country?
That is to say, it has not attracted widespread attention, so it has not attracted the attention of relevant departments.
If we can use the topic to our advantage, and Mr. Hu works hard from behind, let alone banning dogs permanently, it is not completely impossible to conduct a temporary large-scale raid in municipalities and even provinces around Jinghai Town.
When the time comes, catch the dog secretly, but don't use a gun.
Taking advantage of official actions to fish in troubled waters, the raid is the best smoke screen...
As for how to make use of the topic?
They all say that AI is so good at fighting public opinion wars and taking advantage of it, but no one has seen it with their own eyes. This time, I have the opportunity to see it and believe it...
Just as she was thinking about how to deal with the dog, Yan Weiwei's sports car had already arrived at the cinema...
…
The movie hadn't started yet when the two entered the scene.
In front of the screen, the crew of "Flying Life" were being baptized by reporters below, and the flash lights kept clicking.
"Mr. Qu, could you please give us your expectations for the movie's box office?"
"I heard that "Fortress" next door is also premiering on the same day. Are you worried about direct competition between the two films?"
"Teacher Hao Teng, when will your next film be released? Will it still be a comedy film?"
"..."
Meng Lang quickly found the familiar figures of Mr. Qu, Han Fei, Teacher Hao Teng, and Duan Xian among the crew.
The two of them were not interested in joining in the fun and quietly found a seat in the back row to watch the performances above.
Meng Lang was more concerned about his best friend Duan Xian.
After this period of training from Lingjing Media, Duan Xian's face has lost the initial nervousness and youthfulness compared to when he first debuted.
Facing such a big scene, I became more calm, with a professional smile on my face.
Although he is not in the C position, as the second male lead and a naturally good-looking Duan Xian, he has still become the focus of several major media reporters and grabbed a lot of attention.
"With Mr. Hao Teng and other stars joining the cast, I am very confident about the box office success of this movie, and I believe it will be a surprise for all friends from the media."
"Competition is the norm in the industry, but "Fortress" will be released on the same day as us. I really didn't expect this in advance.
Of course, I also wish our friends and business partners a good start."
As the highest-ranking investor in the crew, Mr. Qu is naturally the focus of media interviews. He is used to seeing big scenes, but he can handle it easily.
But when the question of "Fortress" being released on the same day was mentioned, the smile on his face seemed a little helpless.
Compared with a niche movie with a racing theme like "Speed Life", the investment cost is almost twice that of theirs. The starring role is a well-known domestic young star, the director is more famous than them, and the script is adapted from a well-known science fiction novel.
No matter how you look at it, "Magic City Fortress" has an overwhelming advantage over them.
The only thing they can win over here is Teacher Hao Teng, the box office sign...
Generally speaking, it is not uncommon for theaters to be released at the same time, but it is still rare for movies to be released on the same day, except for popular festivals such as summer and Spring Festival.
After all, we are all engaged in art. Even if we have to compete, we will not show off our faces and leave some dignity to each other.
When this happens, it becomes somewhat tit-for-tat...
"Mr. Qu, I heard that "Fortress" was released on the second day after the premiere date of "Flying Life" was announced, and it was also announced to be released on the same day. Is there any unknown inside story in this?"
The inside story? The inside story is that the investors on both sides are not aware of each other, but can I tell you this in public?
"Maybe it's just a coincidence, haha..."
Mr. Qu smiled a little reluctantly.
To create a movie out of thin air to steal their first-run box office, he naturally asked someone to inquire about it. Naturally, the conflict between Xu Jinsong and Gao Yuan is not a secret.
Only then did he realize that while he had attracted a financial investor, he had also attracted a roadblock. It was truly a blessing and a curse.
But now that the matter has come to this, he can only pray that the box office will not be greatly affected...
"Mr. Qu, I heard that there was a major mistake in the post-production of the film where the finished film was lost. Will this affect the quality of the final film?"
At this time, a reporter suddenly asked in the crowd.
Everyone's hearts trembled, and even Teacher Hao Teng looked at Mr. Qu with some worry.
After the actors are finished filming, they don't care about post-editing. There are only a few core directors and post-production staff on the crew who have seen the finished film.
Therefore, except for a few people present, even the leading actors did not know the quality of the final cut of the film.
But more or less, they all heard that there seemed to be some problem in the post-production and there was some commotion...
Seeing that Mr. Qu's smile was a little stiff, Han Fei smiled and took the phone.
"This reporter friend is quite well informed, but let me give you a little bit of information first. This is another surprise for all the reporter friends!"
After finishing speaking, he said to Mr. Qu without waiting for the reporters to continue asking questions.
"Mr. Qu, you see it's almost time. Can everyone take a seat now?"
"Haha! Okay! Dear reporters, if you have any questions, you can leave them until after the premiere. We will also leave time for you then..."
…
The back row of the screening room.
"Why aren't you here yet...I'll call and ask..."
"Hello? What? There was a car accident? Is it serious?"
"Okay, as long as everything is fine..."
Yan Weiwei hung up the phone and said to Meng Lang helplessly.
"That guy Hu Yifei had a car accident on the way here. There's nothing serious about him, but they are currently examining the injured in the hospital, so they probably won't be able to come today."
A car accident?
This reason seems familiar to me...
"Zero, please tell me the coordinates of that guy Hu Yifei." Meng Lang secretly typed a line of text into his phone.
[The target mobile phone location address is displayed as: Baiyeji Headquarters Building.]
rash:"……"
There was a terrible car accident, and this guy never left the house!
But why would the other party lie?
Looking at Yan Weiwei beside him, Meng Xiaolang suddenly came back to his senses.
This thing is so troublesome, it seems that I have to find an opportunity to show them my certificate of being a famous lady and having an owner.
"What are you looking at me for?"
"Ahem! Are you okay? The movie seems to be starting soon. I'm going to buy some drinks and come back."
Meng Lang made an excuse, but before he could walk out the door, a hand was placed on his shoulder.
"Um...Axian?" Meng Lang turned around and saw Duan Xian looking at him with a smile.
"Hey! I just saw you sitting in the back, and you didn't even come over to say hello."
"Isn't it because you are busy? How can you, a majestic second male lead and a busy man, have time to talk to ordinary people like us?" Meng Lang teased.
"I'm thinking about it. I'm afraid that my wattage is too high. How about it, it won't disturb the world of the two of you?" Duan Xian pointed to Yan Weiwei and teased her back without any sign of weakness.
"I thought you would come with that lawyer Lin. Is this what you call 'never bothering'?
But I can understand it, after all, plums, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums each have their own merits, so it is indeed difficult to choose..."
"Hey! Stop it, don't get me wrong. We are just ordinary friends. We also made an appointment with other friends today, but they had a car accident and couldn't come."
"Haha! Okay, okay, I believe it, okay, it's you who made an appointment with your friends, but they got into a car accident and couldn't come..."
Duan Xian had an expression that said, "Wingmen all do this, I understand."
rash:"……"
He looked helpless.
"I am married."
Shocking!
Duan Xian was stunned for three seconds.
"With whom?"
"What do you think?"
"Stop joking, okay?"
"Do I have to slap my marriage certificate on your face before you believe it?"
"Don't bother! Do you understand that it is illegal to give false evidence? What's more, the target of the rumor is a lawyer."
rash:"……"
He covered his forehead and waved his hand, "Okay, okay, you can go cool down somewhere and let me watch a movie quietly."
After saying this, he finally realized, "Oh no, you have to sit with me!"
then……
Two people became three people.
"Gudu Gudu~" Duan Xian sipped his drink, looked at Yan Weiwei sitting next to him, and poked Meng Xiaolang's arm in a low voice.
"You really want me to be a light bulb?"
"Well, adjust the wattage and make yourself brighter."
Duan Xian was speechless.
At this time, the screen slowly lit up and the scene gradually became quiet.
Meng Lang only heard Duan Xian's muttering voice in his ears.
"It's okay. I'm not as comfortable sitting with those celebrities as you are here."
Meng Lang was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the matter? You look so prosperous, how can you still be so unsocial?"
"No, the water in the entertainment industry is much deeper than you think. Do you understand if people in the industry are afraid of each other?
I am a dabbler who became a monk by the way, with no reputation and no background. If you want to actively integrate into their circle, they don’t even want to take you to play." Duan Xian said with some helplessness.
Meng Lang raised his eyebrows.
I used to only think of Duan Xian as a tool, but I didn't expect that becoming a star would bring all kinds of troubles.
He pondered for a moment.
"Do you still remember that in the dormitory back then, I, the King, was obviously very good, but you were not willing to take me with you at first, but how did I succeed in making you cry and want to take me with you?"
"Uh..." Duan Xian was stunned for a moment.
"Oh? You still have this ability, tell me, how did you do it?"
When Yan Weiwei heard this, she immediately became interested.
Obviously, this guy also belongs to the "very good" type.
"Haha! It's nothing. Then I started studying hard every day until late at night..." Classmate Meng Lang looked nostalgic.
"That's it?" Yan Weiwei had a question mark on her face.
"You work hard while they play games without disturbing each other. Why are they crying and shouting to take you?"
"You don't understand this, don't you? If you want to quickly integrate into a group, you can't fight a tough battle, you have to attack it and save it!" Meng Lang laughed evilly.
"After all...the sound of you pressing the keyboard makes me fall asleep peacefully, and the sound of you turning the pages of the book keeps me awake all night..."
"Uh..." Yan Weiwei's eyes widened and she gradually came back to her senses.
It took a long time before I finally couldn't help but complain.
"You scholars... you are so dirty-minded!"
rash:"……"
Duan Xian, who was hurt by AOE, seemed to have some enlightenment. He couldn't help but sigh while looking at his best friend.
"If you can focus on dealing with us instead of dealing with those celebrities, you might be able to do better than me in the entertainment industry."
Are you in the entertainment industry? I am in the survival industry, okay?
So I said something very pretentious.
"If our cognition is not at the same level, then there is no need to conquer each other, right?"
Duan Xian: "..."
At this moment, lines of subtitles slowly appeared on the screen in front of him...
[Director: Han Fei, Starring: Hao Teng, Duan Xiaoxian...
Post-production: Wang Yu, He Ping, Bajie...
