No wonder, after Amyrus was kidnapped by gangsters, he did not transfer people from the executive department of Thoth Psychic Branch, but directly transferred media reporters.
It turns out that on Happy Island, media reporters are actually an organized combat unit...
Of course, it is not the reporters themselves who are effective, but the highly reformed "bodyguards" who surround them.
Although Amirus said that this is to prevent the media's voice from being manipulated and controlled.
But the real situation may be the opposite.
Whether it is the head office or a branch office, or even a cyber cult—everyone with power or money may become a "supporter" of a specific reporter.
At least after arriving above Happy Island, the network can be connected.
While Annan went to get his clothes, Amirus sent out a message and dispatched three armed helicopters, arriving at the scene within three minutes.
There is no doubt that the sponsors behind these "ordinary bodyguards", even if they are not Amirus, must be directly related to him. At least this reporter named "Xiao Liuli" can be influenced and controlled by him.
But there's a problem here.
Amyrus is the top manager of Thoth's psychic energy branch in Happy Island.
But Tianen Daily is an organization directly affiliated with Tianen Group.
The out-of-town branch used some means to use its influence to control a reporter from a media outlet directly affiliated with the local head office... Judging from this appearance, he is not an ordinary reporter. Even if he is not a top-notch reporter, he is definitely a front-line reporter.
And most importantly, this control seems to be semi-public.
——Why would he tell me such a thing?
Thanks to his study experience on Sogo Island and the hard life in the local black market and downtown area, Russell is very sensitive to malice.
Russell clearly realized that Amirus had no ill intentions towards him.
But this is by no means a good intention - accepting an interview with a reporter affiliated with Amirus will definitely cause some trouble for Russell.
And soon, he realized that this was also expected in bad days.
"—Come and be a hero, Russell."
The voice of bad day echoed in Russell's mind.
Russell looked out the window in silence, looking at the pink helicopter.
After the crowd was evacuated, it finally no longer hung in the air, but slowly descended.
Soon, extremely cheerful music sounded from the pink helicopter.
The sound was so loud that it could directly penetrate the sound insulation layer of the airship and reach the room with great clarity.
Only then did Russell realize that the equipment mounted on the helicopter that he had not understood just now was actually a... giant speaker?
"Hello everyone, I am Xiao Liuli from Tianen Daily——"
A clear and loud girl's voice, full of vitality and vitality, resounded through the sky: "Do you feel happy today too -"
The next moment.
A girl with cat ears wearing a miniskirt and two shawls like streamers behind her shoulders jumped out of the pink helicopter lightly.
She has a very gorgeous hair color - the long pink ponytail gradually turns into light blue, dark blue, and the end is as dark purple as the starry sky, and you can even see twinkling stars.
What caught Russell's attention even more were her pupils.
It was a crystal color as clear and transparent as glass. It looked like very light green tea, the color reflected in the delicate glass tea cup.
There is no doubt that this is also a prosthetic body.
Unlike the prosthetic eyes used for combat in bad times, this is a prosthetic eye transplanted purely for aesthetic reasons.
The flowing long hair that gradually changes to the color of the starry sky may also be a kind of prosthetic body.
——More like an idol than a reporter.
This feeling emerged in Russell's mind for the first time.
And he is also an idol of extremely high purity.
Because after she landed, the people who were kicked out around her burst into cheers - and even cheered on their own initiative, shouting the name of "Xiao Liuli" loudly.
That shouldn't be flattery, but a genuine fan.
The face of the cat-eared girl also showed a trace of innocence, sunshine, and a gentle smile. She raised her hands and waved to the crowd behind her.
Only then did Russell observe that her hands had actually been modified by prosthetics.
The ends of her sleeves and the backs of her hands are branded with the "Tianen Group" trademark, which is a red and white icon with a cross embedded in a heart-shaped pattern.
And that icon is made up of many metal balls.
It seemed like a decoration, but Russell knew that it was actually a portable recording prosthesis, which was quite unpopular. If his mentor was not specialized in prosthetic production, Russell would not have known about this.
All it takes is one small ball like this to disguise itself as a mole.
When this part of the prosthetic body is exposed, recording can be performed silently.
These densely packed prosthetics form a complex pattern, but this is actually a set of customized professional recording arrays. The level of restoration is so high that I don’t know where the individual recording prostheses are.
It can be said that this is a prosthetic body prepared for "interviewing anytime and anywhere".
In this case, her clear and transparent eyes, which are like glass, are probably also a kind of customized cameras.
A whole team came down with her.
There are lighting, filming, and even another recording team - this should be a separate auxiliary team configured to prevent the hidden audio and video prosthesis on her body from being revealed.
So, the equipment on her...should be specially used for stealing photos?
Russell's heart moved.
He vaguely realized something.
At the same time, Xiao Liuli's happy and excited voice was still being transmitted to the crowd outside through the pink helicopter.
Her appearance was also captured by the body-worn camera team and simultaneously uploaded to the light curtain projected by the pink helicopter, allowing the crowd to see her face from a distance and hear her voice clearly.
"Today, today! Xiao Liuli heard that there was a very serious and critical problem on the airship from Chongguang Island to Xingfu Island today!"
She faced the camera with a worried but calm expression on her face, and spoke quickly and clearly: "The Tower of Babel organization that was wanted not long ago attacked an airship and hijacked the captain and first-class passengers!
"But fortunately, a young hero stepped forward at this time——"
After she said this to the camera, she turned her gaze and looked at Russell from a distance.
Russell, who was observing her, happened to catch her eyes.
But neither of them moved away, and neither of them fled. Instead, they calmly observed and examined their opponents.
In the blind spot that cannot be captured by the camera, her pupils as clear as glass are as calm as a lake. They are mature and calm that are completely inconsistent with her cute and innocent appearance.
Russell noticed that Xiao Liuli was looking at him with interest - when she should not know "who the hero is", she was already looking at and examining herself.
And when Xiao Liuli said the word "hero" passionately.
Russell clearly realized that the surrounding atmosphere had changed.
The passengers who had become nervous and stunned when they heard they were attacked; the passers-by who gathered outside the cordon like ardent fans...
The expressions of all of them changed at the same moment, at the same moment.
Just like a noisy classroom, it suddenly becomes quiet without warning at a certain moment.
The passengers immediately stopped what they were doing and opened the official website of Tian'en Daily to watch Xiao Liuli's live broadcast.
At a speed visible to the naked eye, the number of simultaneous viewers began to grow rapidly.
And Xiao Liuli's voice sounded in their heads and outside the cabin at the same time.
"As for the specific situation at the scene, we have to wait for Xiao Liuli to interview our trapped captain, the hijacked passengers - and the hero who stepped forward and saved the entire airship!
"Please wait and see!"
Russell's expression suddenly became a little subtle.
