Overturned Tower

Chapter 14 The Instinct to Pray for Love

"Yes, yes! This gentleman saved all of our lives!"

In front of the camera, the middle-aged captain rubbed his hands and showed an excited face: "Not just us, not just everyone on this airship, but also the innocent people on the ground!"

He looked to be about forty or fifty years old, with dove-wing-like spiritual features on his temples.

This means that his spiritual relative is some kind of pigeon-shaped animal.

Generally speaking, airship captains will only choose from "pigeons" - at least they must have the ability of pigeons to sense the magnetic field of the planet. Above the sea, far away from the floating island, the airship cannot receive the network signal from the floating island and cannot link to the map for navigation.

Once the airship leaves the island, it cannot even supply supplies unless it reaches a new island.

The land is full of radiation and curses and it is impossible to dock, and the other floating islands are far apart...

This means that these captains sailing between empty islands can only navigate through experience and instinct.

Therefore, those mercenaries did not dare to kill the captain directly.

Unless there are "pigeons" among them, they can only fall into the boundless sea.

There are no airplanes in this world - the dragons strictly regulate the maximum height of manned aircraft. Therefore, in addition to helicopters near the ground, if you want to transport across the sea, you can only use airships. And without the Internet, it is basically impossible to find the rescue target in the vast sea... It is even impossible to crawl back to the floating island from the sea with only one's own strength.

Therefore, as long as it falls into the sea, death can be directly pronounced.

"The airship had just left Sogo Island when those people came and hijacked me - my first officer and assistant were directly killed by them!"

The man said very excitedly.

"What happened?"

Xiao Liuli asked.

"They came with guns and threatened us. They tied me to a chair so that I could not fire flares to contact the ground.

"I saw them injecting something into my co-pilot, and then I heard that he had stopped moving. The thugs then used the physical link protocol to gain his authority, and then separated him and my assistant Lost it. They asked me to fly as slowly as possible, go in circles, and arrive at Happy Island as late as possible...

"I was tied up and couldn't do anything except control the direction of the airship. I couldn't speed up, slow down, lift or land... I could only obey them!"

"Yes, I understand..."

Xiao Liuli used a very gentle voice to comfort the captain who was breathing heavily and his body was shaking a little: "What happened after that? What did they do after they stole the first officer's authority?"

"It seems like... some kind of program was passed on. It should be some kind of virus that can make people fall into sleep. They mentioned it in the broadcast later."

The captain was not sure about this and could only explain as much as possible: "The second-class and third-class cabins are public cabins, but the first-class cabin is an independent cabin. If first-class guests want to enter or leave their rooms, Or purchasing any service, you will use a temporarily generated, one-time electronic key. This electronic key is authorized by a personal authentication code and can be directly deducted from your personal account, so it can be linked safely.

"They used a virus to infect this electronic key and put all the first-class guests to sleep - except this hero!"

The captain said, casting his admiring and grateful eyes on Russell.

Hearing this, the staff wearing sunglasses behind Xiao Liuli immediately followed the captain's gaze and pointed the camera and microphone at Russell, who was standing next to Amirus.

Although it was also the first time for Russell to accept an interview of this scale.

But as a public relations manager in his previous life, his long-term experience in dealing with the media made Russell act like an instinct and put on the right weak smile on his face.

His body tilted slightly and he arched his body, as if trying to hide his injured back. But because of the pain, he subconsciously straightened his back.

Of course, these are actually Russell's acting skills.

——Although Russell still has some resistance to becoming the "entertainment hero" that Bad Day calls him.

But he clearly realized rationally that he could only do this.

It is impossible for Bad Sun to act openly, and it is even less possible for him to morally kidnap Bad Sun and force him to rescue the passengers;

Nor could he escape with Bad Sun and leave these innocent passengers alone;

And since he has already taken action, he can only become a "hero", otherwise he will be charged with murder.

From the beginning, he had no choice.

So, even if he feels uncomfortable, even if he doesn't agree with it... in front of outsiders and the media, Russell will never lose his temper because of his willfulness or bad mood.

What he is best at is stripping away his personal tendencies and conducting the most rational and effective public relations handling at work——

This is the "pleasing" instinct he developed a long time ago.

Not with dignity or gifts, but with wisdom and true feelings - that is, reason and instinct.

Since you have decided to make a decision, you must do your best. Instead of ruining the situation that others have paved for him because of worries and hesitations.

Russell began to adjust himself the moment he saw Xiao Liuli.

If the opponent is not good enough, he may not realize Russell's little moves at all.

But Russell guessed right. The cameraman was very dedicated - he immediately took a close-up of Russell's smile that looked a little weak but still strong. Then he took two steps to Russell's side and kept the camera. Without shaking at all, a close-up of Russell's blood-soaked back was taken from the side.

With his peripheral vision through the glass of the observation window in the captain's cabin, Russell saw his own lens on the screen of the pink helicopter outside and confirmed his image.

Until this moment, Amirus's face had never appeared on the screen. At most, only half of his body is shown, and his pointed ears are not shown.

This is obviously the result of deliberate control.

Russell already knew the level of this group of media reporters at that time.

This wave, this wave we have encountered a master.

After all, prediction is something that can only be given to masters... Just crush it in low-end games. If you think about lasagna indiscriminately, you will easily become a clown.

From Russell's point of view, the level of Xiao Liuli's group seemed pretty good.

"He is really a very brave and handsome young hero. It seems that he was seriously injured while fighting against the gangsters from the Tower of Babel!"

Xiao Liuli immediately gave a positive tone.

Then, she asked curiously: "I would like to ask... is this... um, young man also a first-class guest?"

The implication is that he is preparing to ask Russell questions such as "Since everyone else has fallen asleep, how can you be okay?"

——Journalists are the eyes and tongue of the people.

The reporters must ask them the questions they are curious about. For Russell, this problem cannot be avoided.

"……Yes."

Russell responded softly, using as short a response as possible.

He chose to make a lighter and more transparent voice than usual, in order to express the attitude of a "polite boy" who was a little weak but managed to maintain etiquette: "Although he may look younger... But I’ve actually been an adult for several years.”

In terms of my own personal image, this should be more likable.

At the same time, it was also to convey to Xiao Liuli and the people across the camera that he had exhausted his energy and physical strength while fighting these gangsters.

In this way, with Xiao Liuli's emotional intelligence, she would definitely not keep grabbing Russell and asking questions. Because she also knew...it would be okay if she asked for something. If she hadn't asked, people would have felt disgusted with her because of her "ignorance". The higher their favorable impression of Russell, the stronger their dislike will be.

As an "idol reporter" who maintains her own persona, she will definitely not do such behavior that endangers herself.

Xiao Liuli was just as Russell expected. After thinking for a moment, she decided to pick up Russell's words:

"When I saw you just now, I was actually very surprised..."

"Because I look...young?"

Russell continued softly.

He showed a shy expression, but replied seriously: "But I have actually graduated from Sogo University and received a master's degree."

"I really can't tell!"

Xiao Liuli's emotion this time was more sincere: "Sogo University is one of the most difficult universities to get into! I would like to ask, what is your major..."

"Ah, I'm a double-major."

Russell's voice became softer again, as if he was embarrassed to praise himself, and added in a low voice: "Prosthetic fitting and maintenance, as well as information security."

"These two majors are two of the three best majors at Sogo University!"

Xiao Liuli supported Russell on the side and boasted in front of the audience: "Prosthetic body fitting and maintenance, as well as information security and intelligence control, these three majors are Sogo Group's most advantageous technologies!"

Of course, what she said was true. These are indeed the two best majors at Sogo University.

Otherwise, even if he has an uncle who is a director in Tianen Group that he has never met before, it is impossible to directly arrange for him to work in the head office.

If something goes wrong with him, it will definitely damage the resources his uncle has accumulated in the company over the years.

"Such a weak yet outstanding young man, yet he showed such courage in the face of crisis——"

The pink-haired cat-eared girl sighed with emotion.

She also realized that this boy who looked very weak and looked like a milk cat was not someone she could handle easily.

But the questions still need to be asked.

She asked in a more tactful way: "So, is the fact that you were able to escape the control of that virus in the first time also related to your professional knowledge?"

This is actually giving Russell some support.

Russell only had to respond vaguely, and the topic would be over.

After all, it's not surprising that a double master's degree from Sogo University can do this kind of thing - at least ordinary people who don't know much about the Tower of Babel, and Xiao Liuli herself, don't realize there's anything wrong with this answer.

However, Russell knew that there was no solution to the virus in the Tower of Babel.

So it was impossible for him to answer this question.

Then Russell changed the subject——
