Chapter 309: Fate and the Right to Choose the Script
Anyone who has studied geography knows that the northern hemisphere has a larger land area and that most of the most powerful and developed countries in the world are concentrated in the northern hemisphere.
August happens to be the hottest summer of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.
Hot weather and explosive topics can easily stir up emotions and stir up emotions.
To be honest, if you look at the whole of Europe, you will find that on many levels, many people do not look down on and do not like the United States.
Especially for the educated people in these countries, the fact that Americans, who seem to them to be uneducated, have become the frontier and representative of Western civilization in the contemporary world is far more outrageous than the shallowness of the culture itself.
Of course, I can only be indignant, and my usual performance is probably a few ridicules.
Because these people actually understand very well that apart from those superficial things, the entire defense system and military power of this continent, the country they don't like occupies an absolute mainstream and strong position.
Those who are well versed in geography know that the entire European continent is only 10.16 million square kilometers, and nearly half of it is in the hands of the country to the east, which has already been divided once. Only 5.89 million square kilometers were left to other countries, and this area was divided into more than 40 countries and regions.
If we add to this the uneven economic development and the imbalance between the strengths and weaknesses of each country, the interests of each country are not consistent. Without a powerful force to bring them together, this place could be more lively than another area called a powder keg.
The hot knowledge is that World War I and World War II both started on this continent and then spread to the whole world.
This has created a very schizophrenic status quo, no matter how unhappy everyone is with the contemporary Da Mei, but whatever Da Mei says, those at the top have to bend down to listen. By the way, I silently prayed in my heart that Da Mei had better not go too far this time.
At least they can have an explanation with the people.
And this time it's obviously a bit excessive.
It's so unprofessional, disgusting!
They all knew that they had to turn off the lights to do this kind of thing...... Ah, no, it's to find a deputy, how can this newly appointed director go into battle in person? It doesn't cost much again, disgusting, phew, disgusting!
And the spread of this topic on the Internet is too fast to be suppressed anywhere.
So much so that the students of many well-known universities in this area have been shocked by the sudden exposure of this incident, and they plan to go out for a walk in class.
Everything is moving in a more lively direction.
This is probably what Doudou wants the most, as it once said, it and its mother both like to be lively.
……
New York, USA, Fu Mousi News Headquarters Building.
Chris Roddy was anxiously waiting for the mysterious mailbox to send him recordings and cartoons of the events that would follow.
It's a pity that for a whole day, the whole world was excited and even crazy because of the news he exposed last night, but his mailbox has never moved.
Chris Roddy didn't think of taking the initiative to contact the other party through the email address he sent the message last time, and even tried to figure out the identity of the other party, but the other party was very careful, not only was the email address newly applied, but also had no real name, and the bound mobile phone number was also the kind of temporary card sold in a convenience store on the street.
In other words, theoretically, if the other party does not contact him, he will not be able to find the other party at all.
Unless someone is hired to help use hacking techniques, but Chris Roddy is afraid that using this method will anger the other party.
I had no choice but to continue waiting.
However, that night, when Chris Roddy came to the parking lot to go home, he was stopped.
There was a feeling of nervousness, but when the rear window on the opposite side rolled down, his mood gradually calmed down again.
Because he saw the face of the former head of Langley, Roman Wiley.
What he did must have offended Langley, but judging from the feedback on the Internet so far, it is beneficial to Roman Wiley.
At least now, the former head of Langley's reputation has reversed like never before.
Many people believe that it is because of Romand Wiley's unwillingness to go along with those in power to do this disgusting thing that he was forced to resign and even be spilled with sewage.
Theoretically, the interests of both sides are identical.
So when the black suit that stopped him made an invitation gesture, Chris Roddy hesitated for a moment, got into Romand Wiley's car, and sat next to the former bigwig.
"Hello, Chris."
"Hello, Mr. Wiley."
After a brief hello, the car started up.
"Where are we going?"
"Walk around, young people should be more patient than us old people." Roman Wiley said with a smile.
This sentence stabilized Chris Roddy's hesitant mood a little.
Soon the car drove out of the parking lot and into the busy streets of New York.
"What a wonderful city it should have been, but it turned out to be a mess by those people." After being silent for a long time, Roman Willy suddenly said with emotion.
Chris Roddy nodded subconsciously.
The street next door is the busiest place, but at this time the car is driving like a ghost on a street in the center of the city where homeless people gather.
Normally, Chris Roddy wouldn't come to this kind of place.
Everyone who lives in the city is well aware that it is dangerous to go downtown, a street where homeless people gather at night. In particular, there are too many neighborhoods in the neighborhood where welfare meals are distributed, and civilization and barbarism collide in such areas, dividing a city into two completely different environments.
On one side is life, and on the other side is survival.
The cozy, warm and safe living area of the villa and the chaotic tent area of garbage together create a super financial metropolis of New York, which is indispensable.
It's hard to imagine that people here are so used to all of this that they don't even feel the need to change.
"You know what? I didn't have any big ambitions when I was younger, I was studying sociology at Harvard and I applied for a Perkins loan, so I chose to join the Marine Corps after graduation because it would be able to forgive up to $50,000 in student loans through the school. ”
Chris Roddy nodded again, in fact, as a journalist, he had only studied the resume of Roman Wiley not long ago.
He even knew that although the former bigwig was a civilian, he had actually been to a place known as a powder keg during his enlistment, and had made many great achievements, which made him rise to prominence until he joined Langley.
"Luckily, after enlisting in the army, my commander turned out to be an alumnus. I learned a lot from him. You are also a graduate of a prestigious school, and you should know that students admitted through different channels are completely people from two worlds. It's as if we have various specialties through the SAT papers, but they only need their parents to donate a sum of money to the school.
We need a loan in order to pay the high tuition fees. But not only do they not need a loan, but they can even park their luxury cars on the edge of Harvard Square. At that time, I knew that people are not the same as people. By the way, have you paid off your student loans? ”
Chris Roddy shook his head.
Living in New York is not easy.
He is not a star host now, just an ordinary reporter, the former's annual salary can exceed 10 million, but his current annual salary is only more than 50,000 US dollars, which is still before taxes. Half of the rent is gone, and I still have to live......
"Look, that's the importance of choice. If I had chosen your life trajectory at the time, I would probably still be struggling for a loan. But you're good, life has taken a turn for the better. Everyone has many opportunities in life, and if you grasp it, you can soar to the sky, but more importantly, you need to distinguish whether it is an opportunity or a trap. ”
After a moment of silence, Chris Rodi said, "Mr. Wiley, what is the better of telling you directly, right?" ”
"I want to help."
"Help me? Why? ”
"What do you want me to say? Because there are endless possibilities for young people like you? No, it's actually very simple, because helping you is helping myself. ”
Chris Roddy took a deep breath and felt a hint of nervousness.
"So, Mr. Wiley, how would you like to help me? If you want to know from me where you got that information, all I can say is no comment. Because I don't even know who gave me the message. ”
"No, no, Chris, you're mistaken. Actually, I don't care where you get the news. I'm just trying to help you, or maybe you're helping yourself. Of course, this help can be a bit extreme, and it can be a little dangerous.
I've gotten word that someone on Langley's side wants to do something to you so that you don't expose anything more. If they make a move, you should know what the outcome will be. So I got you here ahead of time, and you're going to take some damage next.
But rest assured, it won't be fatal. Because there is always someone to protect you, it takes up to three minutes for an ambulance to arrive, and our people at NYPD will be there for you for the next week.
As long as this week passes, no one can help you anymore. You will be a real hero in the eyes of the people. Then you are free to choose your future path in life, celebrity host, best-selling author...... What was once a strapped life and a dirty neighborhood will disappear from your life. By the way, have you ever been to see a luxury home in the Bay Area? ”
"Huh?" Chris Roddy was stunned, and before he could answer, the black car suddenly stopped suddenly, and suddenly, Chris Roddy's whole body bounced to the front backrest under the action of inertia, and then was bounced back.

At this time, the door on his side was suddenly opened, and Chris Roddy in a trance only felt a strong attack, he was pushed directly under the car, subconsciously stretched out his palm, and just touched the still warm ground, he heard a "bang" gunshot, and the sharp pain in his shoulder was his last memory.
When he regained consciousness, he saw a group of vague figures calling his name loudly, and there were various noises next to him, and the sharp sirens of ambulances and police cars made him feel a pain in his head......
There seemed to be a familiar flash shining at this point.
"Breaking news, Fox exposed the new Langley director values threat scandal of the cutting-edge star host Chris Roddy, was shot on 53rd Street, according to the judgment of the doctor at the scene, he was shot three times in the back and was in critical condition...... According to an eyewitness, Chris Roddy was pushed out of a black sedan at the time......"
……
"Mr. Feeney, as NYPD director, what do you think of the case of Chris Roddy being shot on the street?"
"I think right now our priority is to keep Chris Roddy safe."
"Do you think Langley did it?"
"I'm sorry, no comment, please get out of the way."
"Do you think he's a hero?"
"Whether he is a hero or not should not be decided by me, and I have no right to decide, it should be decided by the public! Thanks, I'm going to the office. ”
……
Washington, D.C., 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., Washington, DC.
"Bang! What the hell are you doing?! ”
"It's none of us, it's not us!" Ruhl Smith said with a grim face.
"Stupid! Stupidity! It's so stupid! I can't believe that Langley has fallen to this extent. The point is, who did it? The point is why this happens! Will you be able to control Langley?! ”
Ruhl Smith was speechless.
In fact, he should know that the reason for the anger is not because he is too shameless, or too domineering, too bottomless, but because he is too stupid.
Dead or not, how many dead, no one cares.
The world is so big, and people are out of the circle every second.
It's good to be obscure before leaving, and light as a feather after leaving.
But now the people who should have left silently have burst out into an astonishing storm of public opinion, which is unbearable.
"You know what? One of the stupidest things I've ever done is to have you replace Roman Wiley. But it can't be helped, now that the fault has been made, Ruhl, let's get this over quickly, shall we? ”
The tone on the other side became calmer, even with a hint of warmth.
"I understand that I'll get this over as soon as possible."
"No, no, no, you just don't understand what I mean. Ruhl, think about your family, your children, and Andrei's sacrifice, it's better to make everyone more decent. ”
The already gray face was dyed a layer of blue.
Ruhl Smith certainly understood what the other party meant, but he thought there was still a chance.
Obviously, the other side is planning to completely dissociate itself from this matter.
So it was all his thoughts......
He's going to Sweden to decide where to win a prize......
He's crazy to do a bunch of nonsense.
In the end, he has to bear everything silently.
Andrei was able to walk with peace of mind, because the old guy was 76 years old and had been diagnosed with adenosquamous cell carcinoma.
Even if you don't go, it will be a life span of one or two years at most.
But he is different, he is only 48 years old, not yet fifty, and a good life has just begun.
"Go back to Langley, I'll give you a suggestion, it's a nice place to be in the office. Don't look at me like that, that's not what I meant, and I tried my best. I know it's hard, but a lot of times, we have to make some compromises and sacrifices. ”
As he spoke, the man naturally picked up a bottle of whiskey from the table, poured a shallow half a glass with two glasses, and handed it over.
Then he took his cup and drank it all in one gulp.
Ruhl Smith nodded heavily, his thoughts unrecognizable on his expressionless face.
Still, he picked up his glass and drank it down.
His face remained unchanged as Ruhl Smith finished drinking the wine, and after waiting for a few minutes, the man said, "Okay, I'll have someone send you back." ”
Ruhl Smith nodded and stood up, but the sudden feeling of vertigo made him sit back on his butt, and he wanted to say something, but opened his mouth, only to find that he couldn't even make a sound.
A feeling of powerlessness hits me, my body begins to become sore, and my eyes begin to blur......
But he still felt the office door push open, someone walked in, and a gust of wind brushed his face, making him drowsy.
Before he completely lost consciousness, the sound that felt familiar to his subconscious, but because he was about to lose the ability to think, he couldn't hear it at all.
"I'll take care of it."
"Well, it's not just him, what are you going to do next?"
"I can't hold it down, but I can divert the attention of the people, the Nobel Prize is judged in the same way as the Gram Prize, and the attention can only be directed in this direction."
"That's exactly what the Huaxia people want, right?"
"yes, so they shouldn't be making trouble anytime soon."
"Don't make any more trouble."
"Don't worry."
"And ......," said the man, glancing at Ruel Smith, who was already spread out in his chair, "be decent." ”
"I understand."
……
On the third day after Chris Roddy woke up in the hospital, he saw the news that Ruel Smith was following Andre on the Internet.
probably couldn't bear the pressure, so he chose to kill himself in the office to end this mistake.
It was also on this day that he finally met other people, began to receive condolences from his colleagues, and answered some questions from the NYPD.
At this time, Chris Roddy's mind was full of Romand Wiley's sentence "Have you ever been to see a mansion in the Bay Area?" ”
So when answering questions, he carefully concealed most of the truth.
"I didn't know, I was forced into that car in the parking lot, it was dark and I couldn't see anything clearly, they asked me something in the car, but I didn't say anything, and then I was pushed out of the car and then gunshots rang out, so I didn't know anything......"
Fortunately, the people who came to understand the situation were very kind.
Even before leaving, the young policeman asked him for an autograph, and everything was like a dream, and everything he had been experiencing recently seemed to be like a real dream.
Unfortunately, he didn't receive any valuable follow-up messages in his mobile phone mailbox, but it's understandable that the news of his shooting has been spreading around the world through the Internet, and the person who gave him the information must have known about him in the hospital.
What he didn't quite understand was that after the head of Langley, who had only been in office for a short time, took all the responsibility, the discussion on the Internet about this matter seemed to have begun to change direction, and everyone was talking about all kinds of shady things before, but now it seems that more people are paying attention to academic fairness.
This trend became even more evident when respected professors from several well-known American universities came forward to publicly question the matter and hoped that the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences would give an explanation.
What's even more magical is that the Turing Award and the National Prize for Science have also officially announced that they will reform the award rules in the near future, and even hinted that in order to ensure fairness, a fairer artificial intelligence system will be introduced in the review.
Oh, it's a magical world!
