Chapter Twenty-Eight: Just Left?
Super Seven Meeting Room.
"Hi, Dark Star.
How was your first day at the company? ”
"Are you in any trouble?"
In the conference room, Ashley, the head of public relations and assistant of the Super Seven, saw Ron walk into the room, smiled all over his face, and greeted him with a flattery, reaching out to shake his hand.
Ron was expressionless, ignoring the passing her, glanced at Starlight, and sat down in his seat.
Ai Shili, the assistant of the seven-person team, does not match her appearance and good name at all, is snobbish and timid, bullies the soft and afraid of the hard, and messes with relationships,
He didn't want to have any physical contact with such a person.
Sitting next to him, Starlight was secretly envious.
She arrived in the conference room, and Ashley exchanged casual greetings with her, far less enthusiastic than she had with Ron.
"Tomorrow night, you guys will make your first operation."
Ashley, who was ignored, coughed awkwardly twice, pretending that nothing had happened, although Ron was new to the company, he had a special status, and Vice President Madeleine had specially explained.
"The company sent me and my colleague to explain to the two of you what you need to pay attention to......
Queen Maeve and Xuan Se have long been familiar with these things, and Ron and Starlight are different, and the two newcomers need to be trained in advance.
"Great......"
Although Ron treated her like a stranger, leaving her hurt and angry, Starlight was surprised and a little excited at the thought of joining the Super Seven for the first time.
"Walter's actions are different from what you think."
Ron crossed his arms and said coldly.
Soon, this girl from a small town in Iowa would not be so naïve to see a dark corner of Walter.
"What do you mean?"
Confused, Starlight asked, but was not answered.
Ashley led the people from the Crime Analysis Department and began to tell the story of tomorrow night.
After more than ten minutes, Starlight fell into confusion and confusion.
The company designed a course of action for each of the two of them, led by veteran members to fight crime.
At several points along the route, according to the company's intelligence, there is a high possibility of crime, and if you walk down the road, you will definitely encounter the opportunity to 'make a big show'.
"Sorry to interrupt, is this information accurate?"
She hesitated, and couldn't help but ask.
"Our department specializes in processing satellite data, plus some sources, to summarize and identify, and after analysis, there is a more than ninety percent chance of committing a crime at several locations that we pass by tomorrow night."
The person from the crime analysis department said in a confident tone, and added disdainfully.
"The New York police don't have as much information as we do."
"We ...... Why not inform the police department of the joint operation if there are cases at the same time...... We may not be able to catch up. ”
Receiving a definite answer, Starlight asked hesitantly.
"Starlight, don't you understand that superheroes and police officers are in competition?"
Ashley and the employee looked at each other, as if they had heard some nice joke, and laughed.
"Your first propaganda should be compared to the police.
The police deployed a large number of people to prevent the solving of several crimes at the same time, and you and Darkstar each solved one? ”
"Please, the masses will think that you are not even as good as the police, how can they like you?"
After saying that, she left with the employees to leave the action route, and before leaving, she saw the innocence of Starlight, and she explained sternly.
"Starlight, this is the company's order, not a discussion, it must be carried out like this tomorrow night."
Only Ron and Starlight were left in the room.
Starlight sat in her seat, confused, but didn't she take the lives of ordinary people as a child's play?
Aren't superheroes and police officers all about protecting citizens?
How can two parties who can work together be competitive?
"That's what Vought's superheroes are."
Ron stood up and sneered, shouting at the confused Starlight and walking outside, motioning to take her somewhere.
"Come with me and take you somewhere."
"Where? Hotel or guesthouse?
Or is it at your home? ”
Starlight, who was in a bad mood, raised her head, remembered what happened yesterday, and couldn't help but say angrily.
She thought Ron was going to do it again in a different place.
"A place where you can see a lot of Vought superheroes in private."
Throwing down a word, Ron left, ignoring whether she would follow.
I believe that the starlight that has just caught a glimpse of the dark corner of Walter and found something wrong will not fail to keep up.
"What does a superhero really look like in private?
Wait for me. ”
Thinking of Deep Sea and Maeve, which are different from the TV promotion, Starlight briefly hesitates for two seconds and quickly catches up.
"Where are we going?"
……
At night, in front of an uninhabited alley, the iron gate is closed.
"Knock on the door."
Ron gestured.
Bring Starlight to the intimate club of the Walter Company to secretly arrange a pastime for superheroes, to break Starlight's naïve fantasy.
"What kind of place is this?
Why don't we enter through the main entrance? ”
Looking left and right, there was faint music coming from inside, it was like the back door of a nightclub or bar, Starlight in civilian clothes, tied up her golden hair, it looked much better, she stepped forward and knocked on the iron door, and asked strangely while looking back.
"This club is only open to a very small number of people, with no signage, no main entrance, and no windows."
"Why?"
"Because there's nothing in there."
Someone in the door opened the peephole and saw Ron's face, compared it with the information, and quickly opened the iron door, welcoming Ron and Starlight in like welcoming VIPs.
"Welcome to Mr. Dark Star."
Starlight stiffly followed Ron, who was expressionless, in.
……
Ten minutes later.
"Superheroes? This is the superhero I've been worshipping for over twenty years? ”
As soon as the picture turned, in the alley, Starlight's eyes were straight, as if he was sleepwalking, and he was muttering in his mouth.
The whole person seems to have been played badly, and his outlook on life has been baptized.
Ron took her around the club for a brief spin and did nothing, which alone shattered her more than twenty years of admiration and longing for superheroes.
In it she saw many familiar superheroes, termites, ghosts, parallel captains...... Even the superhero Izqil who was promoted by the devout believers as a representative figure.
But they're completely different from what they look like in the spotlight and on TV.
hugged the woman left and right,
Everything in it has no lower limit, it is filthy and obscene to the point of breaking through what people can imagine, and everyone sucks 'white powder', and carnival at will, unabashed, disgusting.
"The abilities of superheroes make them play to the fullest in a way."
Walking out of the nightclub and taking a breath of fresh air, Ron, who also came to this place for the first time, looked back and couldn't help but comment.
"In a sense, these people are also talented."
As he spoke, he swept his eyes and increased nearly 10,000 ability points, preparing to leave.
"You shattered my illusions with you yesterday, and today you shattered my illusions with all the superheroes in the world."
Leaning against the wall to recall the scene inside, all those disgusting things, Starlight wanted to vomit but couldn't vomit, and her face turned pale.
"You're going to leave like that?"
"Or else?"
