"Tangji, turn on the TV, Walter Company has a press conference today." Mikkelsen's voice came from the phone: "The Virtue Project has begun. Maybe you should take some time to contact Carcalf again."
"I promised him that if the information is accurate, I will ensure his safety." Tang Ji sat on the sofa, pushed Surte aside who was watching a cartoon, and switched to the news station.
Surte let out a frustrated sigh, turned around and took out his phone and awkwardly started to browse short videos. He had just begun to come into contact with the beautiful side of the world.
Of course, without Anthony's daily basic teaching tasks, Soult's life would be happier. Although he has never been to school, he has learned the troubles of learning without a teacher.
Unfortunately, in this team, there is no possibility of truancy. Anthony threatened that if Sirte did not complete his daily homework, the next glass of water he drank might be poisoned.
"When you wake up again, you will already have a booth with your own name in the Big Bird Bar." Anthony looked at Sirte meaningfully.
Since knowing about Surte's fear, almost everyone can make fun of it.
"The problem is that by the time the next safe window appears, it may be too late." Mikkelsen's voice was accompanied by the sound of car horns, which seemed very lively: "I mean, if there is another safe window, it may be too late."
If so."
"With the current pace of advancement of the Trail Blazers, maybe next month, they will start the so-called closed test." Mikkelsen reached out to hail a taxi, but the enthusiastic driver inside made him frown as soon as he opened the door.
brow.
"Good morning, gentleman, I am the best driver in Haywood District. You can call me Big E. When I look at your outfit, I know that you are a real old man. I am really honored..."
Mikkelsen seemed a little silent, as did Tanguy.
"You're still in Night City." Mikkelsen could feel Tangji's murderous intent through the phone.
"No, you heard wrong." Mikkelsen replied calmly, and got into the car at the same time: "I am not in Night City."
"I know that driver." Tang Ji grabbed Soult's cell phone and sent a text message to Rogge.
"I'm just here to buy some souvenirs." Mikkelsen still replied unhurriedly: "That's it, the Walter Group's press conference has already begun. Goodbye."
Before Tangji could answer, Mikkelsen had already hung up the phone.
"Want to buy souvenirs, sir? I know a few places that sell very authentic Night City specialties!" Big E showed his sense of ownership and refused to let go of a fat sheep.
"Night City has a history of decades. Can you tell me what other specialties there are here besides money and power?" Mikkelsen asked while taking out a pistol from his arms, invisible to the driver.
Screw the silencer in place.
At this time, Big E also received a message from Francisco, the boss of the neighborhood: "Send the passengers in your car to the Afterlife Bar."
Big E glanced at the news, then glanced at the passenger in the back seat who still looked dead-faced, and continued to speak eloquently: "Then you don't know anything about Night City. Do you know, Night City
It is the largest distribution center for addictive chemical drugs in the Federation, and even pure natural cocaine from Persia can be found here!”
"But it is absolutely top-quality. It is grown by hand by a Persian girl without using any synthetic fertilizers. It is said that the plants grown by each girl have a different taste. If you buy more, you will get a holographic impression, so you can
I was in a state of ecstasy, having a wonderful relationship with the other person..."
At this point, Big E suddenly paused: "You don't usually take any high-alcohol drugs, right? I mean, after all, that stuff is purely natural, and the effect may not be that exaggerated. Of course, if you don't have the habit of getting high, you can
You can still experience the ecstasy.”
As Big E spoke, he skillfully took detours, hoping that he could safely deliver the guests to the designated location.
Mikkelsen had no reaction to the noise made by Big E. He just quietly assembled his gun, then raised his head, aimed at the opponent's pig head, and fired.
PIU!
The silenced bullet hit the bulletproof glass, leaving a shallow mark on it. The bullet then ricocheted and shattered the car window next to Mikkelsen.
Mikkelsen glanced at Big E, whose expression remained unchanged. He didn't even stop introducing the local specialties. He could only sigh that this was indeed the City of Night, and everyone was like a dragon.
"Old man! You'd better not resist, otherwise I'll give you a good look when I get out of the car!" Big E looked at the car window with some distress, and shouted in a stern voice: "Be honest!"
Mikkelsen wasted no time. He pulled the car door and it was locked as expected. Then he fired continuously, shattering the rear window and flipping over...
Well, he failed. The experienced Big E braked hard and swung Mikkelsen back into the car, then made a series of sharp turns and drifts, creating a lot of chaos on the street.
Inertia also pressed Mikkelson firmly on the seat, unable to move. Big E turned on the radio with satisfaction, and violent rock music roared out, making his taxi even more wild.
"Who do you think you are? A villain who doesn't give you money?" Big E shook his head and sang along: "No one can mess with Big E, he is the real villain!"
Mikkelsen sighed. He began to feel that he had encountered so many things and that he might have been targeted by Mr. Good Luck again.
"I'll give you five hundred thousand and let me get off at the next intersection." Mikkelsen gave up fighting a taxi driver with special skills.
Don't argue with your driver, that's the truth.
"My account number is ********. I will only believe you when I see the money!" Big E was very satisfied with this offer, which just surpassed Boss Francisco's prestige by a little.
The money arrived before Big E's car arrived at the intersection. Big E braked without saying a word and stopped on the side of the road: "It's a pleasure to work with you, sir. You are really rich. I knew you were a real old money man.
I hope you won’t hold grudge against my little unreasonable behavior before!”
Mikkelsen didn't look back, just put on his top hat and disappeared into the crowd.
A few minutes later, Tang Ji received a reply from Rogge. She could not find the person Tang Ji wanted. The taxi driver was found a few blocks away from the Afterlife Bar. He suffered a heavy blow to the back of the head and lost consciousness.
"Big E, what a talent." Tangji raised the corner of his mouth, expressing respect for the taxi driver's monstrous courage. He definitely blackmailed Mikkelsen into acting in this scene.
Based on Wu Qianying's analysis of Mikkelson, Mikkelson would never survive in this kind of matter.
But that's okay, Tang Ji felt that Mikkelsen had already received enough humiliation, and the effect would be better than if he took action himself.
At this time, the Walter Group's press conference finally began.
...
...
As a new enterprise, Walter Group's press conference should not have attracted much attention, but its energy was too great. The news of the press conference was an invitation personally sent by the federal government.
The person standing on the news desk now is also the current press officer of Palace W. She is emphasizing the order of the venue and the scope of questions.
"Excuse me, what is the relationship between the Walter Group and the federal government?" A reporter from News 94 took the lead in asking the question before the press conference officially started, relying on his personal relationship.
"We are neighbors." the press officer joked: "They are doing work downstairs from us, and we have been relatively free recently, so we were asked to help out."
"Then they must have offered you a price you can't refuse." The reporter from Channel 94 responded tit-for-tat and responded with a joke.
"Okay, no more joking, we do have some cooperation projects. The Walter Group has been the mainstay of the Federation since its establishment. You will know soon." The press officer didn't care about the reporter's joke and even threw out
A small breaking point: "Later, maybe our commander-in-chief will also attend this press conference. I hope you won't be too surprised."
The reporters looked at each other and talked quietly, making the scene a bit noisy.
"Do you know the origin of Walter Group?" A reporter from News 94 asked an acquaintance from the Economic Channel in a low voice: "Why have I never heard of this name before?"
"Don't ask me, I know as much as you do." The reporter looked around and then whispered: "But I heard that it has something to do with the bankrupt Byrons Pharmaceuticals. There are many things about it in the past.
Employees are working here now.”
The reporter from News Channel 94 of "Byrons Pharmaceuticals" recalled it for a long time. He was still unfamiliar with the name, so he could only continue to pull the other person and ask: "If you keep leaking, I know you are well-informed."
The reporter from the financial channel hesitated for a moment: "I heard that you have been breaking the exclusive information about law enforcer Tang recently? Share it with me too?"
The reporter from News 94 agreed without hesitation: "Tell me, before the press conference starts, I have to make an announcement first to let the station prepare."
"I heard that the former Byrons Pharmaceuticals had been secretly researching superhuman drugs. Before it suddenly collapsed, it was thought to have produced thousands of superhuman babies." A reporter from the financial channel simply introduced: "However,
There is no conclusive evidence, people only know that the core team of Byrons Pharmaceuticals suddenly disappeared."
"Are they working for the Walter Group now?" The reporter from Channel 94 felt as if he had been inspired, and instantly filled his mind with more than 100,000 words of conspiracy theory plot.
"No, they own this company now." A reporter from the financial channel lamented: "No one knows how many secrets it holds about superhuman beings, but it must be very fascinating. Have you not seen its source of funds?
Military technology, wasteland, future technology, standard industries, etc., all the big consortiums you can think of will provide funds for it."
"But it has not released any products so far. If it has a secret deal with the government, why is it so public?" A reporter from Channel 94 was still full of doubts.
This press conference started suddenly. He was temporarily arrested because he happened to be reporting in the demonstration city. Many colleagues here came here like this.
Rather than saying that they were invited, it is better to say that they received orders from Palace W and had to appear.
Reporters from News 94 looked around and saw that people from almost all major media groups were waiting for the press conference.
At this time, as the press officer clapped his hands, a group of fashionably dressed white-collar workers walked into the huge press conference. The reporters finally became silent, and the photographers also received the news that the live broadcast signal was allowed to be connected.
This allowed Tang Ji to finally see the Walter Company representatives who appeared on the screen. He looked at each person's face carefully and remembered them in his heart.
These people are all players and are points for the event.
Before Walter's spokesman spoke, the big screen suddenly lit up, and then began to play a carefully edited video.
The first person on the screen is Rubeus the Iron Man, standing alone at the door of the bank, holding a gun in one hand and dragging a long bullet chain with the other hand to shoot at the law enforcement officers.
Facing this metal man who couldn't be killed or blown down, the law enforcers could only hide in panic. The few targeted attacks failed due to the intervention of Ruber's associates, leaving corpses everywhere in the end.
Although Rubeus the Iron Man is the new favorite of the media, this video has never appeared on the Internet before, because this perspective is so close, as if he is right next to Rubeus.
Compared with other scenes in the news, this video is so exciting that it can be played directly as a movie clip.
The opening remarks of Walter Group attracted tens of millions of viewers in front of the TV.
When Rubeus the Iron Man drove away in a patrol car, the scene that followed cut to a scene of a group of fanatics storming the prison.
The picture focuses on demonstrating the fanatic's facial expressions, red eyes, and unscrupulous madness when facing bullets.
Whenever a fanatic is shot and falls, a photo of him and his family smiling will appear on the screen. The smile in the photo is in sharp contrast to the fanaticism on the corpse's face.
When it was all over, it was the instigator's overly young face and the words: "This is just the beginning, we will be back."
The superb editing allows all viewers to realize from the footage that those fanatics are not resourceful, but are controlled by others and cannot help themselves.
Then there were still 'wonderful' scenes of various superhuman criminals. Tang Ji even saw himself in them. These pioneers also cut out Tang Ji's live broadcast on the Internet and quietly classified Tang Ji as a criminal.
Superhuman criminal.
"I think you have had enough of these things, and have had enough of those superhumans showing off their uniqueness in an unscrupulous way." The spokesperson of Walter Group finally stood on the stage, looked at the reporters around him, and spoke slowly.
If he hadn't known the nature of the Walter Group, Tang Ji would have thought this was a live broadcast of an anti-superhuman rally.
"But that's not all superhuman beings, there are heroes among them too." Following the spokesperson's words, the picture on the big screen behind him changed.
A man covered in flames rushed into the burning building. As he climbed, the flames in the building were extinguished layer by layer; a girl in simple clothes held the hand of a patient tightly. After a while, her forehead was full of
It was sweat, but the patient's face was visibly rosy.
On the street, a car was rushing towards a child. Seeing that tragedy was about to happen, a passing boy suddenly stretched out his arms and lifted the child seven or eight meters away. He was then embarrassed amidst the screams of passers-by.
Escape.
"The founder of Walter Group realized a long time ago that superhuman beings are not freaks. We hope to use our actions to declare to the world that superhuman beings are more than that." The spokesperson paused and gave reporters a reaction.
Time: "So, under the authorization of the federal government, we set up a team that can really solve the problem and prove to society that superhuman beings can also make society better, can save lives, and can put an end to the evil that is happening.
