Book III, 48: Persecution
The setup here is similar to that of a product launch for a big company, but the difference is that it's really big.
The most striking thing is its main body, a high platform that slopes slightly towards the lower part of the body. About the size of a tennis court, with many irregular objects covered in white cloth, some temporary staff members are doing the final inventory, and thousands of media reporters are gathered below.
Because of the tight time, of course, the environment here will not be too good, just level and clean the ground, and vacate an area that can accommodate a large number of people, and the main effort is basically used on the lighting and venue layout. Naturally, something to sit under their butts can't be comfortable. Most of the chairs and cushions belong to the plastic chairs and stools that were hurriedly moved, and some of them are wooden planks that the parties do not know how to remove from there, and use hard objects picked up everywhere to cushion them underneath, and they will be temporarily stopped.
I don't blame them for being so anxious.
Because it was an urgent notice received in the middle of the night, in order to catch a good opportunity to occupy the front row, these people did not make much preparation at all, and rushed over.
For them who often have to sleep outside the wind, as long as they bring the equipment they should bring, all that remains is a bottle of water and a few breads can make do with it, in order to get the clearest and most real first-hand information.
Therefore, most of the first people who came here stayed here for half the night, and the later ones were not too depressed in addition to being angry. Because they have reached the point where they can see the stitches, as long as they find a vacant space, they will squeeze into it with a plank. If you look down from the platform, you can only see a wall of human flesh, and the only thing that can be distinguished is the human heads crowded together.
Don't ask where their bodies are, you must know that in addition to bringing a head, there are microphones, cameras, recording equipment and other things below, if it weren't for the deviants waiting at the edge of the platform, they must have been crowded up a long time ago.
But this humble and terrible environment could not extinguish the fiery passion in the hearts of these people, and before the main lord appeared, their discussion was loud and enthusiastic. It's already an urge to make someone in the background timidly reluctant to go out.
"I was a little scared. Isn't there anything wrong with that, I've never experienced anything like this."
When it came to the end, Zora was nervously sweating her palms, and she was only holding Benin's neck with her soft arms. He looked like he didn't want to let go.
It's not like she's pretending to be a girlish shy. Always think about Bo sympathy and pity. But since the mutant stepped down from the altar, she has basically lived in hiding in Tibet for thousands of years. usually doesn't even want to mention his identity, so he dares to expose himself to the public eye. Even if there have been some opportunities to be watched, they are all in some kind of humiliating time, and the psychological shadow accumulated from this, let alone let her face more than a million people outside, even if a media outlet comes to interview alone, it will feel enough.
After all, deep black belly does not mean that she is thick-skinned and not afraid of onlookers, not to mention that what she has to do next is to explain everything about herself.
"Don't worry, I will protect you, don't worry too much, if there is a bad question, you just need to stop talking, I will help you answer" Benin reached out and patted Zola's thin back, and comforted softly.
"But I'm still a little nervous, so many people." Zora replied.
"Don't hesitate, it's always like this for the first time, endure and endure the so-called long pain is better than short pain, get used to it, uh, I'll shut up."
Chen Xi's relief was more like sprinkling salt on the wound, and it was no wonder that he encountered a willowy eyebrow and murderous stare on the little face that suddenly turned his head.
"Do you want to die?"
However, for Zhuola's state at this time, Chen Xi felt quite interesting. Compared with the previous time when she was tired of being with Benin, most of them were acting performances, this is her real emotional reaction.
To be able to toss a thousand-year-old fox into such a restless and uneasy state, his sense of accomplishment is still very strong.
So before waiting for a few seconds, Chen Xi said again: "This is what you have to do, don't forget, the form I analyzed with you before, you look at today's society with the old eyes of the past, unlike the kind of rules that royal power and high-level interests completely override the individual, modern society pursues liberalism, as long as you can catch the ordinary people who are the largest group, you don't have to be afraid of persecution on the surface, and in terms of playing yin, their ages together can't be okay with you, I continue to shut up." ”
The question of a woman's age is decisively not a joke, and before he could finish speaking, Chen Xi was once again threatened by unilateral killing intent, but fortunately, at this time, someone had already come to inform him.
They can get out of the way.
It's just that before leaving, Zhuo La couldn't help but threaten Chen Xi viciously.
"If you don't succeed, you will wait to be trapped in that world by me forever, forever, and your body outside, I will be very thoughtful and thoughtful to keep him in the freezer!"
But soon, her cold and proud face could not be maintained and disappeared.
As the three of them turned a curtain wall and walked into the platform, they were greeted by a large number of suddenly flickering magnesium lights, illuminating a piece of white flowers in their sight, and the boiling sound completely surrounded the eardrums, and they felt that there was a buzzing noise everywhere, and all kinds of problems hit like waves at the moment when the spear and short cannon in their hands were handed out, and they couldn't figure out who was who, under this kind of big battle, Chen Xi showed a panicked expression when he saw this woman for the first time.
His wide eyes looked down blankly, swaying from side to side, as if he had completely lost his direction, his whole body tensed, and his limbs firmly hugged Benin, as if he was afraid that he would be thrown here suddenly.
"It's terrifying," she barely managed to say these three words, only to hear her shout unconsciously. The sound behind was immediately drowned out by the surging sound.
Chen Xi, who was walking in front, deliberately stepped out of the way, making Zhuo La feel a little deeper.
"I'm from the Ruifa News Agency, may I ask if this girl is the legendary Isis in the myth of Luohe, whether she and the sun god Luo are husband and wife, or the latter's mother, this is a long-standing mystery in the archaeological community."
"She looks like she's only 16 or 7 years old, is she really that old as a few thousand years old? Well, I wanted to ask her how she maintained her mentality, and what it was like to be young forever, and this complicated question was asked by the Forward TV channel."
"Focus on the news wants to ask a few questions, what is the relationship between her and the knight behind her, the new darling. Hold it like this. Could it be that there is something wrong with her body, and could it be a consequence of superpowers? ”
Don't wonder why this kind of question is being asked by these big-name reporters in the mainstream media, not because they don't pay attention to the first two aspects - genetic drugs and supernatural people, but for the current situation. Those two aspects must be answered. There is no need to waste the only opportunity you have on the inevitable links that will follow. And, for a news audience, what could be more appealing than these questions?
The bigger the name of the person. The more people want to know about their private life, not to mention the woman who has lived for thousands of years, after this time, she will inevitably become the focus of the world's attention, and every point dug out of her will be the next hot topic.
But it's a pity that the object of this topic is obviously in a state of inability to perceive, let alone be able to calm down and answer all kinds of questions in the face of the bombardment, even if Chen Xi is now the black hand and twists off Zhuola's head, I'm afraid she won't find out who did it.
Benin smiled bitterly, so he had to turn sideways to block the direction facing outward, bending the dizzy and defenseless Zora to the side like holding a baby, and continued to walk to the front of the stage.
In just a few steps, a deep voice with a very incendiary voice finally appeared in front of me, which I couldn't see clearly. His high-pitched and powerful voice quickly freed the three of them from this crazy scene not because they didn't want to paint the reeds in the same way, but without the help of sound equipment, the sound could be two meters away from the limit.
"Quiet down, quiet down, all the media friends who are about to blind my eyes, the crowd of people who are bored to come over to watch before dawn after putting down their sleep, and those deviants who do not classify themselves as ordinary spectators, all be a little restless, let me say the opening words that most people will find troublesome, and welcome everyone to come here tirelessly and all night to welcome the beginning of a great change"
When Benin heard this, he looked at Chen Xi with some surprise: "Where did you find this person, did you host a funny show in the past for this kind of typhoon?" ”
As the frequency of the spotlight flickered less, he could already see the host's appearance clearly - it was a short and fat man in middle age, wearing a set of obviously ill-fitting white suits, the outer lines were rounded by his body, and the buttons of the shirt could not be pulled up until the third, exposing most of the conspicuous red lace tie. In addition to this, there is a pair of round-framed sunglasses and a small white wide-brimmed hat worn on top of the head with short hair.
His voice is deep and powerful, and it can definitely shake the scene, but with that cute image and obviously exaggerated body movements, is it really appropriate to host the scene here?
"Of course not, I don't have time to be busy with all this spare time, all of them are sifting through the questions that the reporters are going to ask below, and I only remember to forget to find the host at the end." Chen Xi replied naturally.
"And where did this man come from?" Benin has a bad feeling.
"I saw a lot of small stalls and vendors outside who took advantage of this business opportunity to come over to sell drinks and food, so I was in a hurry, so I pulled a random one who felt good up."
Chen Xi said, and said proudly: "Look, isn't it very calm now, there is no draft, it seems that in addition to proving that I have a high vision, the folk are indeed hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and they are not timid in the face of such a grand scene, I dare to conclude that after this time, he will definitely be hot!" ”
"Ugh"
Benin was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the sky and said, "Do you know what I want to say now?" ”
"What?"
"I shouldn't be with you!"
Benin looked like a river of sadness, and he was completely hopeless for this speechless world.
The two didn't hide it from Zora when they spoke, but the girl hadn't recovered from her frightened state, and when the host's free opening remarks were almost over, she interjected weakly with a sparkle in her eyes: "Can I go to the back, I'll leave it to you here."
The answer is "of course not".
Chen Xi worked so hard to arrange all this, isn't it just to simulate his dream of internship.
Completely subvert the original order of a world and let a new force stand in front of the stage. It is equivalent to a copy of the career he is going to do in reality, although the difficulty is much lower in comparison, and the process is simpler and more casual, but it is always good to learn some similar experience from it, and for this reason, even if he gives up the task and causes failure, he will not regret it.
So in the face of Zhuola's request, Chen Xi showed a cruel smile like a wolf grandmother, and forced: "You are now difficult to ride a tiger, either cooperate with Benin here to complete the erection of the image, or continue to return to your original life of hiding in Tibet, I tell you the truth, if you give up this opportunity, they will have enough reasons to discredit you."
"I don't know where I found the little girl, what is a complete hoax, etc., these claims will prevail as you run away, and then no one will believe you anymore."
"And you, you can only hide behind others forever!" (To be continued......)
