Chapter 56: The Seventh Consensus
With the help of Delphinium, Russell eventually fulfilled his promise.
It wasn't long before a reporter from the Tianen Daily arrived in a helicopter to help Russell complete the interview.
It is similar but different from the scene when Xiao Liuli appeared.
At least this time the helicopter didn't have that much decoration on it. Only one helicopter was dispatched.
However, the highly prosthetic bodyguards still accompany the reporters.
It's just that they are dressed differently from the previous men in black, and they seem to be from another security company.
This time, the security personnel wore an unusually conspicuous yellow riot vest over their black combat uniforms. It is clearly printed with a trademark belonging to Lingzhi Heavy Industries.
Obviously, the sponsors of their equipment are from other giants.
However, Russell was already completely afraid of these people.
He always thought that these bodyguards might also be members of some underground gang, and at some point they would pull out their live guns and start shooting at others.
And the colleague who inherited Xiao Liuli's position and came to interview Xiao Liuli's death was a short girl with short white wavy curly hair and a well-behaved smile.
Her code name is "White Snow". The spirit parent should be a poodle, after all, the iconic canine ears are easy to recognize.
The beige tutu skirt only covered a little below the thighs, and the little booties showed off two white and slender legs. With such an outfit, it seems that her height of only one meter four or five does not seem to be so short...... This can also reflect that Russell, who is standing next to her, seems to be a little taller.
It can be said that it is high emotional intelligence in another sense.
ββ¦β¦ I'm sorry that innocent people have to be harmed. But my sense of mission tells me...... For the sake of more innocent people, I had to deal with it at the time. I have to stand up, even if I have to take responsibility for it. β
Russell in the shot still looks a little haggard.
There were blood stains on the corners of his clothes and around his neck. It was clearly not the blood of the victim, but the wounds he had suffered.
Bai Xue on the side hurriedly comforted Russell, and at the same time spoke to the audience watching the live broadcast outside the camera: "This is indeed a helpless thing, and we are all very sad about it." But what really needs to be responsible - we all know that the person who is at fault will certainly not be you, let alone Xiao Liuli's predecessors. It was the most vicious gangster who committed this kidnapping crime and put the lives of hundreds of people and Xiao Liuli on the scales! β
"This is the third major crime committed by the Curtain of Ignorance, and this time it has touched our bottom line."
Standing beside Russell, the Delphinium with a serious face also spoke: "We will take action in the near future to crack down on crime in the lower city." Seek to arrest and exile rioters who endanger public safety ......"
ββ¦β¦ No matter how many times I watch it, I feel ironic. β
Looking at the picture reflected in his mind, the inferior sitting in the office sneered: "I lied and killed someone to protect the reputation of others." β
It was the morning of the second day of the incident.
They were in the office looking at the day's "Heavenly Grace Daily". That's the most noteworthy part of yesterday's news.
"I did kill someone, too."
Russell sighed and shrunk on the sofa with hot milk in both hands: "Anyway, Tovatus doesn't want to be photographed by the camera, it's good that he is willing to cooperate." β
"Huh."
Walking behind Russell, the inferior gently placed the mug that had drunk the coffee on top of Russell's head.
"Demons can't be considered human, don't be too naΓ―ve."
"Although I don't know what the demon told you," he warned...... But don't take the devil lightly.
"Demons feed on people. If you can have compassion for the devil, then I advise you to leave your job early. β
"I know."
Russell sighed as he cupped his glass: "I'm not that virgin either." It's not the devil that I pity, it's Xiao Liuli...... Or the Blue Song Robin. I have a clear distinction. β
"That's pretty much it."
The inferior snorted and lifted the empty cup away from Russell's head.
He walked over to the minister's desk and took the finished cup that had been placed in front of the delphinium.
While rinsing in the sink in the room, he whispered without looking back, "Your acting skills ...... It scared me a little. β
"What?"
Russell looked up in confusion.
"It's so skilled...... I mean, the way you receive journalists. β
As the automatic faucet stopped coming out, the inferior shook off the clean empty cup and placed it on the table in the water bar.
He turned his head and gave Russell a deep look: "Although it may be a bit unkind to say that. But I'm going to say...... Your smile at the time was so hypocritical that it made me want to vomit. β
"βthe inferior."
Hearing this, the Delphinch, who was still carefully reading the news, raised her head and pronounced the code name of the inferior one in a warning manner.
"I know, Minister. I'm just talking about things. β
The inferior argued.
The delphinch's gaze became a little stern.
Russell shook his head and said before Delphinium could speak, "It's okay, it's not just you...... I'm also a little disgusted with that kind of self.
"But that works, doesn't it?"
ββ¦β¦ Truly. β
The inferior shrugged his shoulders: "Even if it's the same thing, I believe that from my point of view, the last wave will definitely be denunciation and reprimand." But you ......"
As he spoke, he shared the screenshot of his brain with Russell.
That's the glowing praise for Russell's behavior on the Internet.
[That's what you should do!] γ
[This is a decisive enough behavior, very correct]
[Little Russell is cute and handsome, and the height of 1.65 meters stands up with the momentum of 1.85 meters! ] γ
[I can't imagine what it would be like to let those restrained executives take charge of this]
[This is a necessary sacrifice, I hope you can stop some irrational criticism]
[I know, but, woo woo, little glass, my little glass......]
[The deterrent effect of the company law is too low! Let the thugs know that if they kill someone, they will die! γ
[We must support the hero's special right to act, which is for the good of the vast majority of the public]
At a glance, there are many comments under Tian'en Daily, and there are hardly many people who say "this is not right". On the contrary, there are people who keep reminding others that "this is right" and "this is a matter of course".
Russell raised an eyebrow.
He guessed the truth almost immediately: "The company is controlling the evaluation? β
"Oh?"
The inferior looked at Russell and was a little surprised: "How did you guess?" β
"The more one-sided comments there are, the higher the comments of the other side must be. Because the likes of this side are scattered, and the negative side is bound to be concentrated...... Not to mention, the question of whether hostages kidnapped to threaten innocent people should be shot to prevent more innocent people from being killed is also inherently a moral dilemma. It is a matter of debate in itself. β
Russell analyzed: "An issue that should have been debated is now not arguing at all. This shows that there must be someone criticizing it. β
"You guessed it right."
The inferior nodded: "The company is indeed helping you control the evaluation." β
ββ¦β¦ But why? β
Russell frowned: "What's the point of this?" Or rather, who did it...... Dodgson director? β
"No, it was passed on the board."
Delphinium said suddenly.
The inferior man on the side hugged his chest and smiled sarcastically: "What do you say?" Although you did save Xiao Liuli's reputation, many people were saved because of it, and a chaos and panic were put away. But the company always loses.
"Whatever you choose, how you answer. Companies have solutions that can be profitable...... This event is expected to promote the 'Seventh Consensus'. That is to say, "Particularly outstanding individuals who are particularly trusted by public opinion and the public should be temporarily granted special immunity that is allowed to violate the rest of the consensus under urgent and special conditions", which is commonly known as the consensus case of "heroic special action". β
The so-called "consensus".
In fact, it is equivalent to the bill of this world.
One of the most classic "first consensus" is that no organization or any individual may use violent or non-violent means to deprive others of their lives under any circumstances.
But the reason why it is consensus is because it is flexible, individualized, non-standard, and operational.
- Russell, for example, has violated the First Consensus many times, but people tend to ignore it. Because at this point, it is no longer a "consensus".
If Russell is suddenly rebuked by public opinion, then he may be reinvented and found to have violated the First Consensus and imprisoned or even exiled. But it is also possible that when he was first locked up, public opinion immediately reversed the wheel, and people demanded Russell's release - this is entirely possible, even countless times.
However, this "seventh consensus" is different.
Its significance lies in the fact that if the seventh consensus is adopted by a referendum.
Then as long as the "hero" does something, he is not immediately held accountable by the public, and then he can no longer be turned over the old account.
Russell could also guess the significance of this consensus case.
On the surface, this is a consensus case of "let the hero act without scruples".
β but when actually executed, it allows the hero to bypass the "consensus" and act in a way.
In a sense......
And the "curtain of ignorance", the idea of finding a person to be responsible for mending the knife and killing people and carrying the crime is actually essentially the same.
It's just a loophole.
The other, on the other hand, is supported by the "law".
