"Yes, yes! This gentleman saved all of our lives!"
In front of the camera, the middle-aged captain rubbed his hands and showed an excited face: "Not just us, not just everyone on this airship, but also the innocent people on the ground!"
He looked to be about forty or fifty years old, with dove-wing-like spiritual features on his temples.
This means that his spiritual relative is some kind of pigeon-shaped animal.
Generally speaking, the airship captain will only choose from "pigeons" - at least those with the ability of pigeons to sense the planet's magnetic field. Above the sea, far away from the floating island, the airship cannot accept
The network signal of Sky Island cannot be linked to the map for navigation.
Once the airship leaves the island, it cannot even supply supplies unless it reaches a new island.
The land is full of radiation and curses and it is impossible to dock, and the other floating islands are far apart...
This means that these captains sailing between air islands can only navigate through experience and instinct.
Therefore, those mercenaries did not dare to kill the captain directly.
Unless there are "pigeons" among them, they can only fall into the boundless sea.
There are no airplanes in this world - the dragons strictly stipulate the maximum height of manned aircraft. Therefore, in addition to helicopters near the ground, if you want to transport across the sea, you can only use airships. And in the absence of a network, you want to transport people across the sea.
It is basically impossible to find the rescue target in the vast sea... It is even more impossible to crawl back to the floating island from the sea by relying on your own strength.
Therefore, as long as it falls into the sea, it can be directly pronounced dead.
"The airship had just left Sogo Island when those people came over and hijacked me - my first officer and assistant were directly killed by them!"
The man said very excitedly.
"What happened?"
Xiao Liuli asked.
"They came with guns and threatened us. They also tied me to a chair so that I could not fire flares to contact the ground.
"I saw them injecting something into my co-pilot, and then I heard that he didn't move. The thugs then used the physical link protocol to gain his authority, and then separated him and my assistant.
Lost it. They asked me to fly as slowly as possible, go in circles, and arrive at Happy Island as late as possible...
"I was tied up and couldn't do anything except control the direction of the airship. I couldn't accelerate, decelerate, lift or land... I could only obey them!"
"Yes, I understand..."
Xiao Liuli used a very gentle voice to comfort the captain who was panting violently and his body was shaking: "What happened after that? What did they do after they stole the first officer's authority?"
"It seems like... some kind of program was passed on. It should be some kind of virus that can put people to sleep. They mentioned it later on during the broadcast."
The captain was not sure about this and could only explain as best as possible: "The second-class and third-class cabins are public cabins, but the first-class cabin is an independent cabin. If first-class guests want to enter, they must leave their rooms.
Or purchasing any service, you will use a temporarily generated, one-time electronic key. This electronic key is authorized by a personal authentication code and can be directly deducted from your personal account, so it can be linked safely.
"They used a virus to infect this electronic key and put all the first-class guests to sleep - except this hero!"
The captain said, turning his admiring and grateful eyes to Russell.
Hearing this, the staff member wearing sunglasses behind Xiao Liuli immediately followed the captain's gaze and pointed the camera and microphone at Russell, who was standing next to Amirus.
Although it was also the first time for Russell to accept an interview of this scale.
But as a public relations manager in his previous life, Russell's long-term experience in dealing with the media made Russell act like an instinct, and a weak smile appeared on his face.
His body tilted slightly and arched up, as if he wanted to hide his injured back. But because of the pain, he subconsciously straightened his back.
Of course, these are actually Russell's acting skills.
——Although Russell still has some resistance to becoming the kind of "entertainment hero" that Bad Day calls him.
But he clearly realized rationally that he could only do this.
It is impossible for Bad Sun to act openly, and it is even less possible for him to morally kidnap Bad Ri and force him to rescue the passengers;
It was also impossible for him to escape with Bad Sun and leave these innocent passengers alone;
And since he has already taken action, he can only become a "hero", otherwise he will be charged with murder.
From the beginning, he had no choice.
So, even if he feels uncomfortable, even if he doesn't agree with it... to outsiders and in front of the media, Russell will never lose his temper because of his willfulness or bad mood.
What he is best at is stripping away his personal tendencies and conducting the most rational and effective public relations handling at work——
This is the instinct to "please people" that he developed a long time ago.
Not with dignity, not with gifts, but with wisdom and true feelings - that is, reason and instinct.
Since you have decided to do something, you should try your best to do your best. Instead of ruining the situation that others have paved for you because of worries and hesitations.
Russell began to adjust himself the moment he saw Xiao Liuli.
If the other party is not good enough, they may not realize Russell's little moves at all.
But Russell guessed right. The cameraman was very dedicated - he immediately took a close-up of Russell's smile that looked a little weak but still strong. Then he took two steps to Russell's side and kept the camera.
Without shaking at all, a close-up of Russell's blood-soaked back was taken from the side.
Russell's peripheral vision passed through the glass of the observation window in the captain's cabin and saw his own lens on the screen of the pink helicopter outside, confirming his image.
Until this moment, Amirus's face had never appeared on the screen. At most, only half of his body appeared, and his pointed ears were not photographed.
This is obviously the result of deliberate control.
Russell already knew the level of this group of media reporters at that time.
This wave, this wave we have encountered a master.
After all, prediction is something that can only be given to masters... Just crush the low-end game directly. If you think about it randomly, you will easily become a clown.
From Russell's point of view, the level of Xiao Liuli's group seems to be pretty good.
"He is really a very brave and handsome young hero. It seems that he was seriously injured while fighting against the gangsters from the Tower of Babel!"
Xiao Liuli immediately gave a positive tone.
Then, she asked curiously: "I would like to ask... this... um, young man, is he also a first-class guest?"
The implication is that this is preparing to ask Russell a question like "Since everyone else has fallen asleep, how can you be okay?"
——Journalists are the people’s eyes and the people’s tongue.
The reporter must ask the questions they are curious about for them. And here with Russell, this question cannot be avoided.
"……Yes."
Russell responded softly, using as short a response as possible.
He chose to make a lighter and more transparent voice than usual, in order to express the posture of a "polite boy" who was a little weak but managed to maintain etiquette: "Although he may look younger...
But I’ve actually been an adult for several years.”
In terms of my own personal image, this should make me more likable.
At the same time, it was also to convey to Xiao Liuli and the people across the camera that he had exhausted his energy and physical strength while fighting these gangsters.
In this way, with Xiao Liuli's emotional intelligence, she will definitely not keep grabbing Russell and asking questions. Because she also knows... It would be okay if she asked something. If she didn't ask, people would blame her for her "ignorance".
She felt disgusted. The higher their favorable impression of Russell, the stronger the disgust would be.
As an "idol reporter" who maintains her own persona, she will never do such behavior that endangers herself.
Xiao Liuli was just as Russell expected. After thinking for a moment, she decided to pick up Russell's words:
"When I saw you just now, I was actually very surprised..."
"Because I look...young?"
Russell answered softly.
He showed a shy expression, but replied seriously: "But I have actually graduated from Sogo University and received a master's degree."
"I really can't tell!"
Xiao Liuli's emotion this time was more sincere: "Sogo University is one of the most difficult universities to get into! I would like to ask, what is your major..."
"Ah, I have a double degree master's degree."
Russell's voice became softer again, as if he was embarrassed to praise himself, and added in a low voice: "Prosthetic fitting and maintenance, as well as information security."
"These two majors are two of the three best majors at Sogo University!"
Xiao Liuli supported Russell on the side and boasted in front of the audience: "Prosthetic body fitting and maintenance, as well as information security and intelligence control, these three majors are Sogo Group's most advantageous technologies!"
Of course, what she said is true. These are indeed the two best majors at Sogo University.
Otherwise, even if he has an uncle who is a director in Tianen Group that he has never met before, it is impossible to directly arrange for him to work in the head office.
If anything goes wrong with him, it will definitely damage the resources his uncle has accumulated in the company over the years.
"Such a weak, yet such outstanding young man, yet he burst out with such courage in the face of crisis——"
The pink-haired cat-eared girl sighed with emotion.
She also realized that this boy who looked very weak, like a milk cat, was not someone she could handle easily.
But the questions that should be asked still need to be asked.
She asked in a more tactful way: "So, is the fact that you were able to get rid of the control of that virus the first time also related to your professional knowledge?"
This is actually giving Russell a little cushion.
Russell only had to respond vaguely, and the topic would be over.
After all, it’s not surprising that a double master’s degree student from Sogo University could do such a thing—at least ordinary people who didn’t know much about the Tower of Babel, and Xiao Liuli herself, didn’t realize there was something wrong with this answer.
However, Russell knew that there was no solution to the virus in the Tower of Babel.
So it's impossible for him to answer this question.
