Chapter 364: The Brain Chamber
On the other side, at the Fox News Group's headquarters in New York, the fighting on the upper floors of the building was basically over, with only sporadic gunfire emanating
Underneath the building, several "security guards" desperately resist with their geographical advantages (the occupied room is located at the end of the corridor, and the corridor is long and narrow, and the bulky military mechs cannot drive in, and the numerical advantage is difficult to use)
Iron Fist: "Listen, you are completely surrounded. If you want to live, immediately lay down your weapons and come out and throw ......" -- shouting and persuading the security guards who had no way to escape
"Bang Bang Bang~~" - Get a barrage of bullets in response
Luke Cage: "(Stepping forward to block the gun) That's your answer? (The bullet drops off) Then it's no wonder we ......" - Arms over the head (mainly eyes) lead the charge
Iron Fist: "Follow me on ......" - Leads someone into the room after Cage and kills all the recalcitrant security guards
After a minute, inside the room (outside the "Research Department")
Messi: "(Hurrying)...... Done?"
Iron Fist: "Well, you came at the right time...... Which security company are these guys, and they are tired of being alive? They have to resist to the last ......" -- rummaging through the corpse's belongings and looking for clues
Luke Cage: "They're not like ordinary security guards...... (To Messi) agents of the government?"
Messi: "It's not like ...... [Observation] I guess they were private, armed, corporate mercenaries from Madripoor or Roanapur. ”
PS: Madrid Po, an island nation in the South China Sea, and Roanapura, a coastal city in Thailand. Both places are famous as "Sin Cities", a criminal paradise, and a gathering place for mercenaries from the world.
Luke Cage: "Your former colleague?"
Messi: "Yes, the same kind can sniff out the same kind. - Determined, seems very sure
Luke Cage: "Really?"
Messi: "You don't trust my judgment?" - displeasure
Luke Cage: "Believe, but ...... It's not that simple, is it?"
Messi: "What do you want to say?"
Luke Cage: "Why is the security here so strong, and what important items need to be guarded by mercenaries from the Inner World?"
Messi: "You think I know the answer?" - make it a little difficult
Luke Cage: "Why else are you here? Danny and I already have me and it here." ”
Iron Fist: "The boss is worried that the two of us can't handle it?" or ......" - the fox is suspicious
Messi: "Don't think about it, the boss used to think that the 'brain room' was just nonsense, and it wasn't until a few minutes ago that he learned from the senior supervisor who caught him that it was really happening, and he didn't mean to hide it from your ......" - hurriedly explained
Iron Fist: "Brain chamber?" - reacted to a special noun
Luke Cage: "Looks like I've heard ...... somewhere before" - I remember
Messi: "A few years ago, the "wiretapping scandal" that was caused by a newspaper company affiliated with a newspaper company affiliated with an internationally renowned media tycoon, "Do you remember?" -- search for a server that is still running
Luke Cage: "Of course I remember, it was so big. ”
Iron Fist: "The newspaper with a history of more than 160 years is just closed. "-Sorry
Messi: "At that time, there were rumors that the "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named" (the man who can't even mention his name) did the same thing in the media company in the United States, but later the relevant government departments could not find the evidence, and it became an urban legend. ”
Iron Fist: "I remember!" "That man" (You-Know-Who) has a heavily secured "brain room" in New York, specializing in dark activities such as eavesdropping, checking phone records, and monitoring employees...... - Messi reminded him of the urban legend of the past
PS: These pronouns are all ironic, not that "that person" is similar in appearance to the villain without a nose in a famous fantasy novel, but that his name is as "magical" as the villain in the book, protected by a "spell", and calling him by his first name will attract "Death Eaters" (paparazzi).
Luke Cage: "This is the legendary "brain chamber"?"
Messi: "Not bad...... (Enter the supervisor's password) Although the "black data" has been destroyed a lot by the dedicated corporate mercenaries, it ...... (brings up a clip of eavesdropping) There is left. -- Recording of telephone calls
Iron Fist: "(One of the voices sounds familiar, a lot like a certain city councilor who often appears on TV)...... Why didn't the federal government find any evidence back then? The "brain room" is located underground in the New York headquarters of Fox News Corporation!"
Luke Cage: "It's not surprising, that guy must have had some kind of behind-the-scenes deal with the federal government to get away with it, and I've seen too many things like that." What really surprised me was...... Have you ever wondered how that urban legend came to be? Who has the ability to do this? Most of them are true......" -- I was terrified
Macy: "A former senior executive of conscience discovery?"
Luke Cage: "How can it be that simple! I wonder that the urban legend that came out back then was the federal government, in order to completely control "that person" and use the "black information" in his hands for his own use, and we were all inadvertently used. ”
Messi: "There is indeed such a possibility, after all, we all know that compared to the federal government" that person is at best a "little villain", but you and I have no direct evidence to prove it, and it is impossible to find direct evidence. ”
Luke Cage: "......" - helpless
Messi: "Regardless of the truth, the 'brain room' is now occupied by us, and the "black data" collected by "that person" has become our windfall, and there is more to fight in the next propaganda war. ”
Iron Fist: "The boss wants to use these things ......"
Messi: "It's not about use, it's about disclosure." ”
Iron Fist: "After the disclosure of the wiretapping scandal", "that person" has been discredited, and last year there was a scandal (cuckolding) and a divorce from a young wife......
Messi: "Are you dizzy? ”
Luke Cage: "But didn't you just say we don't have evidence......"
Messi: "Evidence? What do we want evidence? The battlefield of the propaganda war is the press, not the legal profession, and there is no need to prove anything, as long as it is reported. ”
Iron Fist: "That's not rumor-mongering. ”
Messi: "It doesn't count with facts. "-- Justified
Me (voiceover): "Messi's remarks perfectly interpret the word "Tabloid" (tabloid), no wonder many organizations, groups, and individuals regard journalists as beasts. ”
