Chapter 291: Timbercutter (Part II)
"Sister Yueyin, I haven't seen you for a long time, come and hug me."
"Hello? Calling your sister angry? With so many people, I'm embarrassed to call my sister again. β
"You are fifteen, I am twenty; You're twenty, I'm twenty-five, what's wrong with me calling your sister? At the beginning, I saw that you were more pitiful in the past, so I called my sister, but now you are in a mess, and I can't help but set things right? β
When the woman in the office entered the room, Tian Bang entered the mode of following and talking, chattering endlessly, as if he was afraid that others would not know about their previous relationship.
As for other members of the police force, he didn't care at all.
His style is still effective, Zhan Ji's camera always follows them, and the live broadcast room quickly focuses on the past, and there are barrage comments:
"Looks like a childhood sweetheart......"
"Full of adultery."
"Who's this?"
"He Yueyin of the Xiacheng Branch, a retired burner from the military, is now the most powerful person under the 'Iron Triangle'."
"That's right, that's it, it's her, and she basically does routine work."
"And it's still Bai Fumei, 'Kong Tianhe' knows, the high-ranking heir of the military family."
"Chief He Saigao!"
"Boss Luo, be careful!"
ββ¦β¦ What does the front mean? β
The atmosphere in the live broadcast room was joyful, but Tian Bang was already talking to death, and in the face of He Yueyin's cold eyes, he had no choice but to raise his hand and surrender: "Okay, let's get down to business." You have also seen the situation at the scene, and if it is obsessive-compulsive disorder, you will definitely not be happy to see this kind of scene. It's obviously a group of people, but it turns out to be two, no, three ways to die.
"The flesh of the whole body is broken and swallowed again;
"He who destroys his heart and lives does not have any superfluous power;
"And their patchwork of vagrant mercenaries, who enjoy the same treatment as the outside.
"Well, before I arrived at this scene, I probably knew some of the seriousness of the situation, but now I find that it is obviously underestimated. He doesn't have any idea of killing people, does he? Maybe it's like playing a video game? So they will continue to die...... Right? β
He Yueyin thought for a while, and finally responded: "If the matter is not resolved, most likely it will." β
"Tsk, you're so truthful, it's desperate."
As soon as the voice fell, new information came, and He Yueyin, Tian Bang, and several people from the police circles all received relevant information one after another. Only Tian Bang still remembered that it was live broadcast time, so he looked at the camera in a blink of an eye and read the information out loud:
"Four people died in the restaurant of Baibai Company, and at the entrance of the SCA branch in Xiacheng, a flying machine suddenly lost control and crashed into the building, and was beaten to dust by defensive weapons, and there were about seven to ten people inside...... The death toll of the Summer City riots officially exceeded 100. β
100 people slashed, achieved.
In essence, the death of ninety people is no different from the death of a hundred. But statistically, a three-digit number is always more powerful than a two-digit number.
"Lawn mower, this is!"
In the live broadcast room, a large number of "approval", "certification", and "lawn mower +1" echoed words, and finally ended with "100" floating in the sky, which can be regarded as a characterization of this matter.
Compared with the death toll, Tian Bang and He Yueyin are more concerned about the two new locations of the incident. Tian Bang scratched his head: "Today is Sunday, and I didn't work overtime, I'm afraid these two groups are going to step on the field, and then it's the end...... He's already preventing, should I say it's gratifying? β
This time, He Yueyin did not answer. No matter how Tian Bang nagged before, she walked to the scene meticulously, and at this time, she came to the metal component that was thrown away by Tian Bang, and looked at it thoughtfully.
Tian Bang sighed: "Most of them are Gangxiong, the monitoring shows that he and the people from the hardware hunting group such as Noise entered here last night and never went out again." β
Someone in the live broadcast room put a question mark: "Steel bear? β
"It's a male or not a bear, I've already said it before."
"Hear it too."
"Completely dizzy from the doughnut, I mentioned it before but I didn't pay attention."
"Damn, a B-class died silently."

The untechnical swiping screen in the live broadcast room drowned out some valuable discussion information, and the bells and whistles barrage made people irritated.
"Damn it!"
has repeatedly failed to contact Bai Xinyan, and Zhang Yingying has already left her anger. Even if she hadn't been confirmed in person, she could be sure of the nature of the matter.
Is the white salt brain pumped? What was she thinking!
She hated to cut out of the live broadcast room, and wanted to close it directly, but hesitated, but still kept. I was going to contact Ronan, but it was the number of the bamboo pole that was called.
Half a minute later, she took a few steps down the cliff, changed her clothes, and set foot on the road around the sea. Taking advantage of the privileges of the association, after "friendly consultations", he borrowed a police patrol car and rushed to the city.
On the way, she checked the information on the Internet again, and the barrage was simply cleared in the live broadcast room, only to see the movements of He Yueyin and Tian Bang, and on the other side, she opened the RT8313 task post again to see the recent reply.
Obviously, Zhan Ji's live broadcast program has formed a heat, and it is also affected here, and the matter of Gangxiong is being discussed, but the traditional forum mechanism of posting and replying, as well as the group chat mode during discussion, can still carry more information.
"Is Gangxiong a member of the Guild?"
"The hardware hunting group is registered with the association, it must be all of them."
"Boss Jin Tong is afraid that he is going to be so angry that his headband will burst?"
"Isn't Gangxiong a B+? Say dead is dead? β
"It's not almost, how many B+ are there in the world? It feels like an endangered and cherished animal like a transcendent species. β
"It's just cherished, what the hell is endangered?"
"Less than a thousand, less than a thousand!"
According to the association's big data, the vast majority of the 70,000 awakened people are C-level. For example, in Xia Cheng, among the more than 1,000 members, there are only 14 registered "architects", and this number and proportion are second to none among the 88 branches under the general association.
Although there has always been a secret about the number of people with B-level or higher abilities, the lord of the "Secret Eye" in the early years once had a famous statement:
"Teachers are less than a thousand, and the extraordinary are less than a hundred. Weeds and flowers and trees, scattered and difficult to become a forest. β
Among them, "teacher" is the internal name of "Secret Eye". It refers to architects, B-level powerhouses. This sentence does not take into account the last two paragraphs, which means that it is estimated that the total number of capable people in the world is less than a thousand, and the number of supernatural beings is less than a hundred.
As one of the world's three secret orders, the authority of the "Secret Eye" is no less than that of the "Wilderness Explorers Guild". And its lord is one of the top five transcendent species in the world, the kind that spits on a nail.
Later, it was confirmed to the Lord of the Secret Covenant that there was another explanation for that sentence: the architect and the transcendent species together did not exceed a thousand people in the world. And beware, this is an estimate in the broadest sense of the word, including associations, orders, retail investors, and even burners.
Even if the association has a big business, there are talents in the world, and half of it is monopolized, but it is only about 500 people.
There is a B-level in this, at least half of it will be divided, an old powerhouse like Gangxiong, there is no problem in ranking in the top 300 in the association, and if you play well, the top 200 are also there, and in the world, it is also the level of the top 500.
And then, just hung up?
"Recently, the association's B-class has collapsed a little fast. Gang Xiong didn't say anything, and there was snake talk...... Hey, remember that the snake language was folded in Xia City, right? β
No one took this topic, probably a little sensitive, and because at this time, someone ripped a copy of the surveillance video that Tian Bang had shown to Zhan Ji in the live broadcast room, forwarded it here, and asked at the same time: "Ask the great god to analyze, how did Gangxiong die, it feels too fast on the video, is it my delusion?" β
Someone replied, "It's not a delusion." Judging from the video, most of them died in front of the head of operations of the Putt company. The latter had an obvious expression of horror, probably because he saw Gangxiong's death, and he didn't say it, he must have been fast and ruthless, so he had this reaction. β
An ID identified as a "senior intelligence analyst" said in more detail: "I'm also scared, from the supervisor's dodge to the shockwave breaking the door, to gasping, struggling, daze, and death, the time span is 3.7 seconds, a veritable second kill." And there are no obvious traces of confrontation from the scene, which proves that Gangxiong is an overwhelming force, at least he was finished by the means of strong field control + explosive killing. Even if it is a surprise plot, the realm gap must exist. β
"So ......"
"It's not time yet, you look at this."
The "senior intelligence analyst" sent a picture, which clearly showed the situation of the high-end combat power of the summer layer: "Fourteen B-level and two transcendent in Xia City, six of them can be directly excluded, this is not a battlefield of hand-to-hand combat at all." Next, we will exclude those who do not meet the conditions of 'overwhelming' and 'strong control + explosion', such as Mr. Bai, who is good at hypnosis, Gao Meng, who draws talismans, etc., and the ability of You Lao and Horn Demon in the B level is also a little bit touched. But the horned demon offended His Majesty the Martial Emperor, and he couldn't return to Xia City in a short time. If you are old, he has never killed anyone in my memory......"
"You just said that it was two transcendent species, wouldn't it?"
"Here's the problem, Ouyang Chen acts like a gentleman, and he usually leaves room for doing things, so that he won't be so murderous; His Majesty the Martial Emperor acted in a high-profile manner, and if he did it, he would not be afraid of people knowing, and this situation would not be formed. β
Someone stabbed obliquely: "There is another one, although it may be inferior in hard power, but the danger level is not low at all." β
The "Senior Intelligence Analyst" quickly replied: "I know, you mean the legendary 'Humanoid Infrasonic Array', if there were enough uninjured corpses left here, I would be the first to think of him, but there is no ...... The ability of this person, whether there is that manta ray or not, are two different things.
"So to deal with him, you have to kill that manta ray first, right?"
"You're 'so' off topic. What I mean is that killing a strong man like Gangxiong in the way shown in the video is either a conspiracy made by someone in Xia Cheng who defies his nature, or some unknown strongman does it......"
When the "senior intelligence analyst" was still analyzing, someone had already skipped his tirade and pointed to the previous piece of information: "Hehe, someone upstairs must not have read the internal police report." At the scene of the crime in Pingjiang District last night, it was said that it was the place where the manta rays were kept...... Hey, I seem to have seen through something? β
"I seem to see something, too."
"Look at his mother, someone has a rhythm!" Zhang Yingying hatefully sent messages in the private group chat of Lingbo.com.
The bamboo pole replied in seconds: "Everyone is bringing rhythm!" β
Papercut made a dizzy expression: "Nima is too messy." β
The red fox followed closely with his good buddy: "Immediately show up the poor dagger." β
"Watch the live!" The bamboo pole reminds again.
Seeing this, Zhang Yingying cut into the live broadcast room, only to see He Yueyin and Tian Bang communicating there, and she didn't react at once: "What did they say?" β
"Barrage, watch barrage...... I grass! Blasting Rock also joined the discussion, and sent a voice directly.
Zhang Yingying reopened the barrage, and her eyes were blood-red, and someone swiped the screen with the barrage, and all of them were "160000000000".
It took almost ten seconds to swipe before sporadic comments followed: "What the hell?" β
"Roll on, I can't see Chief He's beautiful face clearly."
"Admin kicks this scum out!"
But at the same time, there are also those who express serious curiosity:
"What is the back of 16?"
"Visually 9."
"It's 16 billion."
"What 16 billion?"
"There is nothing wrong with Kongtian He's assets of 16 billion."
"Chief He's net worth? Ask for a marriage! β
Seeing that these idle eggs are hurting, the audience has to take the topic crookedly. It's probably the same guy, again swiping the screen with blood-red fonts and numerical values that most people can't understand
"2 thousandths, 2 thousandths, 2 thousandths......
Immediately afterwards, another row of bloody words flooded over: "Go ask, go ask, go ask......"
The direction of the topic in the live broadcast was finally successfully guided.
"Well, that scum has successfully aroused my curiosity, and the time has come for the battle queen to play your part."
Some people "laughed and cried": "Find the right target, Chief He is not easy to talk at a glance." β
"But what if Tian Bang is a smiling tiger?"
"The smiling tiger is unmistakable, and I feel sorry for my Zhan Ji."
In more than ten seconds, the live broadcast room has formed enough impetus to ask the anchor to do what they desire most. Correspondingly, every barrage sent here is piled up with real money. It's like the one who forcibly swipes the screen with rhythm, and it can only be achieved with honor points.
Because of this, Warrior Ji had to put more effort into dealing with this kind of change that was beyond her planning and control, and this is what made her live show the most appealing:
To die, to die, to die again, to die under the coaxing of the audience...... Infinite death, and so on, until Game over.
Frankly speaking, now Zhan Ji already feels that the situation is not quite right, from the inside information she gets, to the communication with Tian Bang, and the next series of events, saying that a coincidence is not a coincidence, saying that deliberate is not deliberate, it is like an invisible hand, always correcting it, taking advantage of the situation, and turning the situation in the direction they expect.
Because of the live broadcast style that is not afraid of death, Zhan Ji is also fortunate to have contact with many of the world's top figures. In her opinion, this kind of feeling seems familiar, and she seems to have crashed into the plan of a great god or a screenwriter of a certain force.
On the one hand, reason screams about danger, and on the other hand, the effect of the show turns its head and goes up, between the two, she doesn't have to hesitate what choice she wants to make.
What's more, at this time, her behind-the-scenes team has synthesized the intelligence of various channels and sent her a piece of relatively reliable information.
The moment she saw the relevant information, she couldn't control it. She rolled her eyes and interacted with the audience in the live broadcast room first: "My team just got a message, a certain bastard with rhythm, did you do it?" β
The atmosphere in the live broadcast room is full:
"Seal him, seal him!"
"It's all out of the way, Zhan Ji's 'marksmanship' is here, this gun leader is so sharp."
"I have another foreboding."
"Light a candle for the battle queen in advance."
Zhan Ji shifted the camera and swallowed imperceptibly, hoping that the gossip just now could help her buffer it. She thought about the wording, came to Tian Bang and He Yueyin lightly, took a moment, and suddenly asked:
"There are rumors that the riot in Xia Cheng is related to a project led by Quantum, what do you two think?"
There were not only Tian Bang and He Yueyin in the room, but also five or six police figures, as soon as this remark came out, everyone looked sideways, and Zhan Ji instantly became the focus of people's attention.
Tian Bang didn't make "doughnuts" anymore, but he still maintained the true character of a "smiling tiger", smiling and not speaking; And He Yueyin, who was next to him, put his cold gaze over, and Zhan Ji adjusted the lens in time and gave a close-up.
Zhan Ji knew that if the words came out, she might have offended He Yueyin and even the Xiacheng branch to death, but in the end, the habitual impulse overwhelmed everything:
It is said that Quantum Company uses two thousandths of the project's shares as a bonus, offering a reward for recovering the lost test subject, the valuation of the shares is as high as 16 billion, and there is still a lot of room for growth in the future. And that experimental subject is currently in the hands of the Xia Cheng Branch, and is in the hands of Ronan, the spiritual genius of the chapterβexcuse me, is this true? β
Hundreds of words, it only took twelve seconds for Zhan Ji to finish speaking, and it is rare that the words are fluent, clear and legible, and there are no mistakes or omissions.
He Yueyin still didn't speak, and Tian Bang laughed hehehe: "Zhan Ji, have you changed careers to do news broadcasting?" β
Zhan Ji is already in full swing: "You said it was news, meaning this is not a rumor?" β
It was only at this time that the vast majority of the audience came back to their senses from the barrage of words:
"It's really 16 followed by 9 zeros...... That's a huge amount of money! β
"I see, ahh
"Rely on it, rely on it, rely on it, don't say that nine of them are not respectful enough!"
"When was the nearest flight to Summertown?"
"I'm in Los Angeles, do you have anyone with me? The remuneration can be divided in half, and one thousandth is acceptable. β
"I'm going to Summer City now...... Is it OK to sell coffins? If the locals are willing to cooperate, please leave a message. β
"Look at the mission system of the Star Club, the advanced area has been updated, and the number of orders has exceeded 100!"
The barrage that exploded in an instant flooded the entire live broadcast room, and there was also an animation effect of flames, which burned people's heads restlessly.
And in this explosive atmosphere, cold and calm words cut in, and it was He Yueyin who spoke: "I don't understand what you said about the experimental subject. β
"But ......"
"At present, the association is working on the protection of an orphan underage. The orphan girl was abducted and sold to a gang-controlled underground fighting arena in the Hawu district of Xiacheng, where she was forced to engage in lethal illegal fighting. On the evening of September 30th, the orphan girl was rescued by the Xiacheng Branch, during which the orphan girl's supernatural abilities were awakened, and according to the relevant protection regulations of the Wilderness Explorers Association, the Xiacheng Branch accepted her as a full member of the Association. β
Facing He Yueyin's dark and transparent cold eyes, Zhan Ji's originally fast-moving brain was a little stuck, and she subconsciously replied: "Hey, are you a member of the association?" β
"The orphan girl's registration procedures were completed before midnight on September 30, and the relevant procedures of the association were postponed until midnight on October 1, which is well documented...... The problem is that during the rescue and protection period of our company, Yan Yongbo, the then head of the Azure Security Xiacheng Branch of Quantum Company, first attacked our personnel with a weapon platform, and then sent a Deep Blue Walker combat team to intercept and kill, and openly used particle cannons and other prohibited weapons in the residential area of Xiacheng, which seriously damaged the safety and order of Xiacheng while injuring our personnel.
"The Xia City Government has issued a serious warning to Quantum on this matter and has dealt with it; The Xiacheng branch also negotiated with Quantum Company accordingly. All processes and related documents are documented and can be accessed by federal citizens with valid authority.
From the above, it can be seen that the orphan girls protected by the association are far from minors, and they have been continuously resold and have no legal guardians. In this context, what does the subject represent? If she is an experimental subject, I would like to ask, how is the principle of 'informed consent' for human experimentation established by human civilization for two centuries manifested? What is Quantum's position here? What are the related tasks, bounties, and bonuses based on? The Summertown chapter hopes for a clear answer. β
The atmosphere in the live broadcast room began to change from restlessness to stagnation, and someone muttered: "How do I feel the press conference." β
"It's not a press conference, it's a courtroom!"
"Just say how good is the execution ground?"
No matter how he evaluates it, He Yueyin's speech continues: "According to the principles and articles of association of the wilderness explorers, the Xiacheng branch will contribute the greatest to the safety and well-being of the able, provide protection to the orphan girl within its ability, and cooperate with the government to carry out the most severe crackdown on all organizations and individuals that trample on the law and relevant industry regulations according to the relevant authorization, and this determination is unswerving." I also hope that the relevant people will abandon the rumors, put themselves in the right position, overcome their greed, and refrain from doing stupid things that hurt and enmity relatives, or stupid things that take millet from the fire......"
"Cough, Sister Yueyin, it's really going to be a press conference, take care of Miss Zhan Ji's show."
Tian Bang interrupted He Yueyin's speech with a smile, and came over to grab a camera: "I'm going to say, Sister Yueyin's work has always been well-prepared, and there is no shortage of physical witnesses." What the? Self-talking, self-fabrication, no witnesses?
"Don't you hear now, aren't you witnesses? Hey, that officer, that's you, the bald one with the hoop under the hat, stop staring at that broken metal, come over and be a personal witness, okay? β
The camera flickered and found the police officer Tian Bang was referring to, and a cold and narrow face was also reflected.
