Chapter 15 Individual Reactions
"How does it feel? Are the fans enthusiastic? A day later, watch as Harry and Jessica open the door and walk into the hotel room. Andrew, who was continuing to play with dice, smiled and spoke.
"I feel so good! Shoot! Finish! Jessica threw herself into the couch and yelled, "I looked at Twitter when I got out of the police station, do you know how many followers I've gained?" A whole 200,000! it! I've grown up so big, and I've never broken through the triple digits! ”
"Don't even ask what's going on at the police station?" Harry asked, picking up a glass of water, taking a sip.
"Ask what?" Andrew spread his hands: "Not to mention that they only have some magical evidence, and they have to bear social pressure, even if they really go in, I believe you can come out soon." ”
"You have faith in me."
"No!" Shaking his finger: "I have faith in your father." ”
"I'm not surprised that you're saying that." Harry had a look on his face that saw through everything.
"Uncle Osborne will definitely be impressed with you this time." Taking out the Wall Street Times, Andrew motioned to Harry to look at the headlines: "Look, Osborne Industries and Osborne Technology-related stocks have all risen sharply, and my colleague Osborne's glasses have begun to sell well." Even if the press officer announced that Osborne's glasses had no magic electromagnetic power at all, it would not be able to stop the enthusiastic people. ”
"yes." Harry laughed when he heard this, "But I'm bleeding a lot this time." I'm right on stage, I'm going to be penniless now. ”
"What's this, I'll make it up to you in a moment." Andrew opened his mouth unconcernedly. But he was right, Susa, who had been with Matt last night, had wiped out all the cash from the Mexican Gang.
"Then again, this time it's really exciting, if it weren't for Harry and the two of them learning magic from that Kidd's senior's notes, they really wouldn't have been able to play such a big scene." Jessica, who was eating while responding to her fans, smiled, "But then it's not something that magic can solve." I don't think the police department with the big head will let us go so easily. ”
"Isn't that what you'd love to see?" Harry quipped, "You're more famous when you're hot." I think you're wishing the police were coming to detain you every day. ”
"Haha, that's what I said."
At the same time, the police station, which Jessica was talking about, was now having a serious meeting on it.
George Stacy, the man at the apex of the New York police scene, was now scanning everyone in the room with a serious scan.
"So, can anyone tell me what to do with this case now?" Put down the information in your hand: "On Twitter, there are countless topics about #DevilThief#, and three of the top 10 are related to it. ”
"Director, maybe we can shift the pressure to Osborne Industries?" One officer spoke: "Although neither Harry Osborne nor Jessica Seth are mutants. But one of the strongest companies in the Osborne Group is a biotech company. Maybe we can change the subject......"
"And then we're not solving this farce. Instead, go straight to war against the Osborne Group, a world-class behemoth. "Chief George didn't even look at the officer.
"How about we decipher the magic trick?" Another officer suggested: "Although it is true that the cash at the scene of the crime is missing. But the cash collected in the Met's venues is the kind that can be traced, and it is not black gold. So as long as we expose Harry Osborne's magic tricks, when people get to know the inside story, the heat will naturally go down. ”
"It's a good proposition." Director George touched his chin, thought for a moment, and then spoke: "People want to find the truth more than they are fooled. ”
"Yes." The policeman continued: "After all, no one wants to be an idiot. ”
"So now that dozens of hours have passed, Pixar, has the magic trick been decrypted?"
"Of course." The police officer named Pixar nodded quickly again: "The incident looks very magical and confusing. But in fact, the final magic trick is very simple. Compared to the classic magic tricks performed by Harry Osborne before, this magic trick is even less technical. ”
As he spoke, he took out a document and opened the slide again: "The principle of magic tricks is a simple trick. The most basic concept of magic. ”
The slides in the room showed a three-dimensional view of the Met's Stadium: "This is a view of the Met's Stadium architecture that we did on site. They dug a huge space under the stage. That's why Anix can suddenly disappear. ”
"So that Annick is To?"
"Nope." Pixar shook his head: "He's not, just a pawn." ”
As he spoke, the slideshow shifted to the ticket taken on the spot: "This ticket doesn't have anyone's fingerprints on it, including Annick Clinton." So we can basically conclude that this is not the ticket that Anix got his hands on......"
"That's why a lot of magicians say it's very simple."
"Annicks, who entered the basement here, was forcibly dragged into a play by extras who came from nowhere. The same fight took place in the factory on the other side. It's just that it's really ...... over there."
"And after all the gang members have been 'eliminated' by Annicks, the main event comes. Placing the ticket with the unique number on it on the gangster, he pressed the glasses button...... Remember what Harry said? He will experience a brief feeling of dizziness. That's right! Under the stimulation of the electric current, he fell into a coma, so he didn't know anything about what was going on! ”
Pixar shook his head and finally sighed, "A lot of magicians say that if they did, they would do better, such as observing Anix's behavior beforehand, and then imitating his handwriting and having him sign his name on the ticket at the end." That's how the magic works perfect......"
"That's just the imagination of a bunch of nameless magicians." Director George said in a deep voice: "First of all, a person who can single-handedly take out more than thirty gangsters with guns is not so easy to find. ”
"We have to do the magic revelation, at least in terms of social heat, we have to suppress this incident. But after privately ...... seeing everyone present listening, he spoke: "At all costs, go and communicate with Osborne, or visit secretly, and find out the stand-in of Annyx!" ”
"Yes!"
"Understood!"
The NYPD is starting to move, but this time the impact of the incident is much more than that. At least the headquarters of the Osborne Group welcomed a group of important people today.
"Welcome to the Osborne Group, General Somme!" A group of military bigwigs came to the Osborne Group's laboratory.
"We solved the problem of parallel skating and power balancing, and this time the flying skateboard will definitely surprise you." Norman shook hands with General Somme and smiled.
"We can talk about this little glider later, and that's not what I'm here for today." General Somme, who was the leader, shook his head: "The purpose of our visit today is to know how far the physical enhancement program has reached now?" ”
Before Norman could speak, General Somme continued, "We already know what your son has done. Thirty-eight people were eliminated in just a few minutes, and it looked like the test was a success. ”
He smiled and patted Norman on the shoulder: "Not long ago you told me that the test was only successful on mice. I didn't expect it to be successful in human experiments so quickly. You know, I'm still thinking that if your side doesn't succeed again, the military will withdraw its investment in this area. ”
"Revocation?" When Norman heard this, he lowered his eyes slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes below.
"That's right. General Rank, who was in charge of military spending, wanted to use the money to put the Hammer Group or the Stark Group. Unaware of this, General Somme continued to smile and speak, "But it doesn't look like there's any need for it now. ”
"Ah, that's right." Norman also smiled and nodded: "If I see General Ranke back, I must talk to him." ”
"So when will the fitness enhancement program be fully launched?"
"Now the technology is mature, but it will take at least a few months to fully implement it." Norman looked helpless: "We need to make time observations to ensure that they are harmless." ”
"Okay, then I'll wait for your news, Dr. Osborne......" General Somme nodded, "Now let's go see how that little paraglider goes......" he said, leading a group of officers and walking inside.
"......" Looking at General Somme's back, Norman squinted, turned back to his secretary and part-time butler, and spoke.
"Now go and gather all the people involved in the fitness enhancement program and ask them to wait for me in the lab, and I will start a new round of research and experiments as soon as I arrive."
"Is even Connors in touch?"
"Contact." Norman said as he walked, "Tell him to suspend the retrogenic program for now, and let him meet in the physical enhancement program's lab right away." And ......"
"Go and call Harry back to me! Right away! ”
