Chapter 32: What Do You Want?
"Butcher, have you heard any useful information?"
Huey asked nervously the person on the other end of the line.
"Do you remember, where did I tell you to put the bugging device?"
The man on the other end of the line asked in a deep voice, like a gloomy and irascible beast.
"Under the conference room table of the Super Seven."
"Where are you?" Unpleasant questioning.
“…… Opposite the door to the conference room. ”
The other end of the phone rang twice, he sneered, and stopped talking.
"Two days ago, according to what you said, I asked to go to Walter to accept the locomotive to apologize, but Walter didn't set up the location in the seven-man conference room, saying that there were important people using it, and I found another room casually."
Thinking of the experience two days ago, Xiu Yi was depressed and a little irritable to explain.
Under the pretext of going to the bathroom, he walked around the closed conference room and found a steel relief of the Super Seven on the wall opposite the conference room, so he had to put the bugging device in the gap of the relief.
In the headquarters of the Walter Company, which single-handedly built more than 200 superheroes, he carried out espionage operations, and he was so frightened that he couldn't do it, and he had taken great risks.
"What's the use?
Do you think those bastards have anything to say privately, would they choose to talk in the conference room or stand in the hallway? ”
But on the other end of the phone, Butcher, nicknamed the butcher, mocked unceremoniously.
"So...... Does that mean there is no useful information? ”
Xiui bowed his head in frustration and frustration.
“……”
"No, good luck you bastard."
The other end of the phone was silent for a long time, and sneered.
"I heard a piece of news, and I don't know if it can come in handy."
"Who does it have to do with it?"
"Locomotive."
The butcher replied.
"It's him!"
Hearing the locomotive's name, Huey gritted his teeth, hatred welling up on his face.
He will never forget that more than ten days ago, he and his girlfriend were walking on the road, sweetly discussing the matter of living together, and suddenly the locomotive that ran by at a rapid speed knocked his girlfriend into a ground of minced meat.
Without any expectation, his girlfriend, who smiled softly at him in a blink of an eye, only the remaining hands were held in his hands, and he was splashed with blood.
He lost his girlfriend and lost the good life he had envisioned.
"That shameful liar actually said on TV that he was chasing the gangsters at that time, and Robin was standing in the middle of the road, blocking the road to cause an accident.
Is he blaming Robin for it?
I laughed at Robin afterwards, I have to pay for him! ”
Obviously, he was standing on the curb with his girlfriend at the time, not the center of the road, and Walter and his family persuaded him to accept compensation and settle the matter, but he couldn't get angry.
Just then, Butcher Butcher finds him, reveals Walter's darkness to him, and takes him to a club that only superheroes can go to.
In the surveillance video, he saw the locomotive talking about it with others, without any remorse or guilt, and teasing him about his girlfriend's death, which angered him even more.
"Well, I know how much you hate Lokomotiv.
He killed your girlfriend.
It just so happened that the news I got this time was related to the locomotive girlfriend. ”
The butcher laughed wickedly.
"He's on the phone in the hallway, and he's got his unknown girlfriend, the out-of-fashion superhero Devil's Claw.
The two sound like they have a good relationship, and she should know a lot of the insider. ”
"You can do whatever you want to his girlfriend."
"I'll help you, report after report, it's a pair of super bastards anyway."
After something happened to him eight years ago and caused him to lose his dear wife, he thought that all superhumans deserved to die, no exceptions.
"Also...... Still can't. ”
Hearing this proposal, Xiu Yi hurriedly waved his hand and stumbled.
"That's not good."
"Oh, you bastard, I mean torture interrogation, what do you think?"
On the other side of the phone, the butcher's evil voice mocked in a low voice.
"I'm thinking about torture interrogations, too!"
His face turned red with anger, and he quickly hung up the phone, deliberately emphasizing what he thought was torture and interrogation.
"Lynching is not allowed by law!"
……
Boom.
Early in the morning, at Walter headquarters, Starlight was brushing her teeth in front of the mirror, and last night with Ron, she had to sleep late and come to the company's dressing room to wash.
Prepare to put on makeup, go back to the room, and put on your suit.
Once upon a time when a superhero turned into a job, she was a little helpless.
"Fake, what are you doing, Starlight!"
Suddenly, Ashley opened the door in a rage and rushed to her with her phone bursting with foul mouth.
showed her a video and asked her what was going on,
The content on the video is very familiar, Starlight went back to her hometown yesterday afternoon to see her mother, and when she came back in the evening, she met two men who were molesting a girl, and she passed by and rescued the girl.
"They were pinning the girl to the car, and she was about to do something, and I couldn't stand idly by."
Starlight argues that she can't even fight crime.
"Girls? What girl? ”
"Now the online video only shows you beating someone, and there are no girls in it, do you know the impact.
The two men, who had no previous criminal records, insisted that they were drinking in a small alley at the time and that you knocked them out indiscriminately. ”
Ashley lashes out again, accusing Starlight of being stupid, and now online public opinion is unfavorable to Starlight and Walter, asking her if she knows the girl's name.
"I don't know."
She was stunned, indicating that the girl had run away in a hurry.
"Very good, according to past examples and experience, that girl will not stand up, and as soon as you join the team, you will pull Walter into a storm of public opinion."
According to the analysis of previous cases, Ashley was so angry that she bombarded Starlight indiscriminately, and finally notified and ordered.
"I don't know what you've got planned for a good day, but drop everything and go to President Madeleine's office at ten o'clock.
She's very unhappy with you, and the people from the Risk Assessment, Crisis Management, and Legal Department are there waiting for you to see how to solve the problem. ”
Then Starlight, stunned and sad, turned away.
……
"I'm just trying to save people."
In a private room that Walter has arranged for the Super Seven to rest, Starlight complains sadly to Ron.
rescued people and fought crime, but I didn't expect to get such a result and be condemned on the Internet.
"Do you think they're going to fire me?"
"Some people on the Internet said that she was a classmate in the same high school as you."
The phone in his hand played a video of Starlight teaching the two people a lesson, Ron casually flipped through the comments under the video, stretched out his hand to her, and asked.
"She remarked that you have anorexia?"
"Mild anorexia."
Seeing Ron's calm appearance, she grabbed Ron's hand and stepped into his arms, and her emotions, who were originally worried and anxious, calmed down a little.
"There are two factors in the general onset of anorexia, one is the excessive pursuit of slimness, and the other is because the family is generally controlled by parents too strictly, or the symptoms caused by abuse and single-parent families since childhood, which one are you?"
"It's a bit of both, but although my mother was very strict with me, she didn't abuse me."
Listening to Ron's inquiry, Starlight felt a pang of warmth and peace of mind, and replied softly.
The details of life are touching, Ron is concerned about her condition and body, so many comments, Ron pays attention to this one at once.
"You're skinny enough, and your mother can't control you anymore, haven't you become an independent superhero?"
He felt that Starlight would be out of shape no matter how thin she was, and it was not healthy to look too thin, even for superhumans.
"There's no need to control your diet in the future."
Starlight smiled and accepted Ron's concern, and then she remembered what had just happened, and muttered in a low voice.
"I really don't understand, shouldn't I be presumed innocent until I'm proven guilty?"
Those two people had no evidence, and based on their words alone, they almost condemned her on the Internet.
