MTL - Overturned Tower-Chapter 15 Russell's Crisis Communications

"Is such that…"

Russell had a forced and bitter smile on his face: "Not long ago, my mother passed away."

This bitterness and reluctance also come from a kind of sincerity from the heart.

But it is not sadness, but a faint self-loathing—it seems that the relationship between myself and my mother is regarded by myself as some kind of verbal tool to allow myself to be forgiven.

It really wasn't something bland and frivolous, but Russell's experience told him that he should be doing it now.

This is indeed the best topic entry point. A window that can shock and pity people, break the previous thinking mode, empathize with him, and be led by him to think again.

The conflict between morality and rationality deep in his heart did not move Russell's face in the slightest.

He is like a public relations machine to make himself as "likable" as possible and make people feel his sincerity.

"what!"

Xiao Liuli showed a surprised expression cooperatively: "It's so..."

"Although I studied at Sogo University, I am not as well-off family compared to my classmates. My tuition fees are completely covered by scholarships and student loans... I must thank my mentor 'Sally Ruth' , she helped me get my student loan approved."

Russell had a sincere thank you expression on his face.

This is a sincere thank you with eight points of truth and two points of falsehood... and the two points of falseness are actually false on "Russell is actually the type who won't show his sincerity".

Therefore, his gratitude can be said to be genuine—

Russell's words spread in all directions along the large local area network throughout the entire Happy Island.

In the Tianen District of Happy Island, in the luxury villa area named after the group.

A fat middle-aged man with a gentle and lazy face was holding a glass of iced cocoa and soaking in the hot spring, staring in amazement at the boy reflected on the big screen above the hot spring.

His hair color is closer to Russell's, with cat ears and tails that are smaller than Russell's, but the color is darker and more orange. However, the weight is at least twice that of Russell.

Although he had never seen the appearance of his nephew, when he saw Russell's face, he immediately recognized his identity.

"...this is, Russell?"

Mr. Orange Cat was a little stunned.

At the same time, the news of the birth of the "new hero" quickly spread throughout the Happy Island—

It was already sunset, but the executive department of Tianen Group was still brightly lit.

In this era where dozens of terabytes of data can be transferred easily, people are walking around holding paper documents and files, but no one will push open the door of the [Special Executive Department] room numbered B-002.

In the huge office inside, there was only a young girl sitting alone.

She has long pure white hair, canine ears resembling a fox, and a fluffy short tail.

There was only a lunch box and a cup of hot milk tea in front of her. She didn't go to the all-free, high-quality Tianen Group employee cafeteria to eat, not because she thought it was too noisy, but because she didn't want to participate in meaningless socializing and greetings.

That's too much trouble.

While eating takeaway, she watched the live video broadcast in her mind.

"Sally Ruth..."

After hearing the name, she murmured in a low voice.

After looking through the information casually, she realized why it sounded familiar to her.

"...the director of Sogo Group."

The girl sighed: "Although he is not from a rich family, this relationship is also very troublesome."

If there is no accident, I should have another colleague.

I hope that the character of this "hero" can be slightly better and not too weird.

"What a hassle."

She complained softly.

In the lower city of Happy Island, a young man with antlers wearing the black windbreaker-like uniform of the executive department of Tianen Group took off the chip with the red warning light from his wrist and put on his white gloves again.

Falling in front of him was a group of tattered and completely unconscious mercenaries.

After hearing the news from the subordinates around him, the young man turned on Xiao Liuli's live video and turned its transparency to 40%.

"hero…"

His gloomy gaze became even colder: "Recently there are more and more 'heroes' related to elves. I hope this time it's a real one... at least not so fake.

"The target has been captured, and the team is closed. You are still there. Watching the live broadcast during working hours will punish you for ten days of performance."

"Wait, wait a minute, boss! I just opened it too—"

"It will take half a month to argue again."

The public screens in the employee cafeteria of Tianen Group, the screens on the subway station signs that were originally used to display advertisements, and even the transparent exterior walls of skyscrapers that have been transformed into huge screens and broadcast various advertisements every day are all At the same time, Russell's face during the interview emerged.

His voice echoed through the streets and alleys at sunset.

Those who are walking, those who are driving, those who are still working overtime, those who are eating...

Countless gazes looked at the teenager who was being interviewed at the airfield through their respective screens, screens, and brain screens.

Where the signal originated, Russell was facing the camera and facing the crowd hiding behind the camera and continued: "After I dealt with my mother's funeral, my only relative, my uncle, offered to take care of me. Although I I'm an adult, but he repeatedly persuaded me that I can't be left alone.

"Therefore, I declined the invitation to work in the Mentor Research Institute and flew to Happy Island.

"Because I have no money, my uncle bought me a first-class ticket from Sogo Island to Happy Island. But I looked at these things..."

After speaking, Russell lowered his head in embarrassment, and said in a low voice, "I didn't even dare to use it. Because I don't know if the first-class drinks, snacks, and those books and movies cost money..."

He added emphatically: "I didn't even drink any water! I didn't touch anything... I didn't even interfere with the LAN in the room. I think that's the only reason—after all, I didn't feel it from the very beginning. What kind of virus exists."

"Have you been sitting there all this time?!"

Little Liuli exclaimed.

It seemed a little startled, but Russell has gradually realized that this kind of exclamation seems to be her personal style.

Russell added: "It's not like sitting there all the time. I actually have a dissertation to write, and I write the dissertation in my room."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to press the prosthetic limb of his left hand, and lifted it up to Xiao Liuli: "Look, I've finished writing here..."

"Ahhh! You don't need to show this to Xiao Liuli, she has a disease that makes her head hurt when she reads papers—"

The pink-haired idol with cat ears waved his hands repeatedly and let out a lovely cry.

Russell also seemed to be amused by her, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

He seemed to be getting closer to Xiao Liuli, and took the initiative to answer the conversation in a more relaxed tone: "At that time, that man didn't seem to have thought that I didn't fall asleep... He was calling at the door without warning. "

"Call? Radio?"

"Well, an old model of wireless prosthetic body. This should be an illegal prosthetic body that has been seized long ago."

Russell nodded, and his tone became much lower: "Then, I found out...he has a gun."

"-gun?!"

Xiao Liuli exclaimed in cooperation.

Russell was used to her contrived, but sweet enough, cute exclamation.

"A shotgun ... the second I saw it, I knew it was going to be bad."

He said heavily: "So, I started...beheading him from behind."

"Don't be afraid," Xiao Liuli comforted Russell, perhaps because of her good opinion of Russell's words and appearance, there was a bit of sincerity in this comfort, "You are doing this for the safety of the passengers and to save so many people. Kill people. I believe that audience friends will support you..."

"No. I didn't do it to protect the passengers on the empty boat..."

Russell lowered his head and said softly, "Actually, I was just doing it for my own safety. I was so scared that I didn't think about anything. When I saw the gun, I blew my hair out."

— There is no doubt that this is a lie.

Russell was literally fighting for the lives of his passengers, not his own.

But the irony is that he said so many things mixed with lies, but he just couldn't tell the most truthful truth.

the reason is simple.

Because people don't believe that someone can be so noble - when his own life is threatened, he will fight everything for the life of others.

If Russell had told the truth, people might have thought he was flattering himself and resented him. You may even doubt the content of what he said earlier.

So Russell skillfully discredited himself, downgraded his motives by one level, and became able to be understood and resonated by ordinary people: "My mind is blank, but the swordsmanship I practiced and the psionic armed forces I brought on the airship against the regulations helped me. I. Before I even knew it, I chopped off his head.

"His accomplices heard the sound and came over quickly. As soon as they came in, they started shooting at my room - luckily I hid under the table, dodged the first wave of shooting, and came out and killed them. I He was injured a little at that time, but he still managed to kill them with all his strength.

"I think... Will I, in fact, be quite strong? I'm even a little proud."

When Russell said this, he shrank back in embarrassment and fear: "But I am worried that if they still have accomplices, if they realize that their other accomplices have been killed by me, they may attack Mr. Captain. If he breaks the tank, he thinks it's going to kill him - I thought so, and I rushed to the captain's cabin to see if there was anyone else."

At this time, the captain who was rescued by Russell couldn't help defending Russell:

"Brother is right! That group of people are simply insane, if brother comes later, we will suffer!

"Those **** asked me to go to Happy Island in a circle, but after I made a big arc, the fuel was almost exhausted!"

This is to prevent someone from hijacking the airship and escaping to other empty islands.

Therefore, the fuel prepared by the airship will not be too much, only enough to reach the adjacent sky island.

"—But I told them so, and they still won't let me land! I can't reach the lever, and I can't make the airship hover over the apron stably. I can only rotate slowly around the apron, so there is not much left. The fuel will burn further... But they simply ignored me and never let me go!

"I was in a hurry! If the fuel was exhausted, the airship would fall naturally—inertia would cause it to fall into a nearby residential area. In that case, not only the passengers of the airship would have accidents, but even the people on the ground who picked up the plane, And nearby buildings may suffer!"

The captain said, moving his body to reveal the fuel: "Look, look! After I untied it, I immediately issued a warning to the ground that the fuel was exhausted just in case. , Let the crowd start to evacuate, and then start to land. If you go to the ground unit to check, you can also check my alarm records at that time."

"I'll show you my room."

But at this moment, without waiting for Xiao Liuli to say anything, Luo Su took the initiative to speak.

This is exactly what Xiao Liuli—and the countless audiences behind her want to see.

In this way, she will naturally not raise any objections.

At this stage, Russell has silently controlled the rhythm of the interview.

He took Xiao Liuli, the captain, Amirus who was silently smiling all the time, and the camera crew to his room.

Listening to his interview, those passengers who were very curious about all this also craned their necks to watch—but the men in black intimidated them, making them unable to stand up, let alone break into the interview environment.

The moment the door was opened.

Russell's heart lifted slightly. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

But after opening the door, he was relieved.

The ground was messy, bloodstained all over the ceiling and floor, window glass shattered by bullets, and a messy room swept up by air pressure differences.

Three headless corpses were placed on the ground, and even a head flew up and stuck on the glass. They even had guns in their hands.

-fine.

Fortunately, the bad day was not in the room.

Sure enough, by some means unknown to Russell, he left before landing.

When the cameraman saw this **** and curious scene, not only did he not avoid the camera or make a mosaic, but he scanned the scene carefully. I also took several close-ups of the head pierced by broken glass, the wound section of the headless corpse on the ground, and the guns they held in their hands.

"...why didn't you use a gun against that gangster in the captain's cabin?"

Xiao Liuli couldn't help asking.

This is her doubt from the bottom of her heart.

Obviously there are at least three guns here, but this kid insists on using a sword to fight the vicious gangsters...

And Russell, wait for this sentence.

He has been inducing little Liuli's thinking in this direction.

As long as this sentence is spoken, the key words that can end this crisis of public relations and establish an indestructible moral person for themselves—

"...because I never used a gun."

Russell said softly: "I'm afraid of accidentally injuring Mr. Captain who must be in the same direction as the gangster."

The moment Russell said this sentence logically.

There is already a clear understanding in his heart.

The interview is over.

—The first hurdle after Russell's memory awakened... finally passed.
