Chapter 223: Becoming Famous
Is this the value of Bly?
Yang Ming looked at the crowd of people who seemed to be half asleep on the street and was secretly shocked.
This is not only Bligh's spiritual power, but also the technological power of the Stinger. The amplification device developed by the Empire around the super-modifier played a key role at this moment.
Actually, they are all the same.
If White Ghost wants to exert influence, it must rely on Lu's ability in the online world.
Although cyborgs may seem to have a bright future, in fact, in the end it all comes down to technological strength.
Yang Ming strolled on the street, and when he saw people in need of help, he would go up to help. If he saw objects that needed to be moved, he would also contribute the strength of an ordinary person.
Under the dual influence of the White Ghost and the Sexless God, the riot in the city quickly calmed down.
The police force actually responded quickly, but they were helpless in the face of the huge crowds, and could only protect a small number of key areas with the help of various equipment.
Godoy sent a video invitation.
"Hui, how are you?"
"Nothing," Yang Ming said, "How about you guys?"
"Still in the space station, the passage below is blocked, they said it will be restored in two hours," Godoy cursed, "These damn terrorists! What on earth are they trying to do? So many innocent people were killed and injured!"
Yang Ming thought of the old man's eyes.
"If it doesn't work, let's go back first," Yang Ming said, "I'm afraid it's still not safe here."
"We can't go back," Godoy said coldly, "We can't give in to terrorist attacks! I am a descendant of the Saka family, and so are my children! At this time when honor is essential, we chose to come here for vacation, and we must complete the vacation to the end!"
Mrs. Delly, who was standing by, looked at Godoy with eyes full of love.
Yang Ming: …
I see, this is too embarrassing.
"Then I'll ask my assistant to help receive you later," Yang Ming said, "It's better to avoid the crowds. Let me arrange the rest of the trip. I'm also a part of the family."
"Oh, of course you can," Godoy said, "There is a rally here at the space station, and I have been invited to give a speech to encourage the people. That's it for now, protect yourself and don't be afraid of difficulties!"
"Come on."
Yang Ming made an encouraging gesture, and Godoy hung up the phone with his head held high.
——Although the title of Viscount is not high, hereditary Viscounts are still relatively rare.
Yang Ming continued to help with disaster relief. He had already approached the center of an explosion. Drones and hovercrafts flying in the air took away the seriously injured people one by one.
Who did this?
New Federation?
Although Yang Ming also wanted to see the Empire declare all-out war on the New Federation, he still had some doubts in his heart.
No matter how you look at it, it seems like someone is deliberately trying to stir up conflict between the New Federation and the Sherman Empire. This kind of human bomb targeting civilians is almost the perfect fuse for starting a war.
From a political standpoint, this matter is a bit confusing and we can only wait for the lawyer's investigation report to come out.
…
When the imperial system starts to work, it is indeed terrifying.
Putting aside the temporary support of the White Ghost, just eight minutes after the bomb attack, the Stinger ship that Bligh was on arrived over the capital of Yaha Star and completed the "cooling down" of the entire city, forcing the people to remain calm.
In the next half hour, the local police force was fully mobilized, all parts of Yaha Star fell into a state of stillness, and spaceships sailed into the atmosphere and began to maintain general order in the air. The Internet was full of propaganda slogans like "Stability has been restored here."
Within an hour, a large number of armed forces took control of the traffic, people entered the shelters or returned to their homes, and the TV channels were already reporting on the real situation at a discount.
In just two hours, the authorities compiled a death list, completed contact and condolences to the families of the victims, and began systematic accountability and commendations.
The whole city returned to peace within four hours.
Local residents and tourists from all over the world were asked to stay in their own residences. A mixed team of robots and local grassroots staff began to go door to door, proactively explaining that a terrorist attack had occurred. They distributed material coupons that could sustain the lives of local residents for a week, and distributed consumption coupons of the same value to tourists.
It is obvious that the Empire already has a complete set of mature procedures for dealing with terrorist attacks.
Similar incidents should happen frequently.
What Yang Ming is most concerned about is the attitude between the Empire and the New Federation.
The extent of the war between the two galactic superpowers is related to how much strategic space Yang Ming’s forces can gain.
An hour after the attack, the Empire announced endless retaliation.
The international terrorist organization "Shavin Freedom" claimed responsibility for the incident. In the video released, the terrorist organization denounced the empire's endless external expansion at the top of its lungs. The brave warriors of this attack came from the planets and nations conquered by the empire.
The New Federation and many countries have expressed regret over the terrorist attack on the people of Yaha Planet in the Sherman Empire, and are willing to provide free assistance to help the injured recover as soon as possible.
The President of the New Federation sent a message to the Prime Minister of the Sherman Empire, expressing condolences to the families of the victims, mourning the victims who died in the terrorist attack, and will continue to work on the peace construction of the Milky Way and resolutely oppose terrorist activities and hegemony expansion...
The Empire then stated that they would investigate the technological source of the cell bomb and would retaliate a hundredfold or a thousandfold against the sponsors and masterminds of the terrorist organization.
For a time, the border of the New Federation, which had not yet completely calmed down, was once again shrouded in the shadow of war.
…
This didn't even start a war?
Why is the Empire a bit soft?
Is it because there is no substantial evidence to prove that this was done by the New Federation?
After being busy for half a day, Yang Ming sat on the curb to take a rest and began to think about how to establish a new federation.
The network terminal in his hand flicked across a series of news items, and two police drones flew over his head.
Order has been restored in the surroundings, and Yang Ming will soon return to the hotel to rest.
"Need some help, Mr. Detective?"
Suddenly, a familiar greeting came from the side.
Yang Ming looked up and saw the iconic golden mask, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Catherine got off the hoverboard, sat on the edge of the board, and patted the seat next to her:
"Come and take a rest over here. I saw you several times during disaster relief efforts. You were either helping to carry things or volunteering to deliver water and food. You always found something to do in a chaotic place."
"As an ordinary person, this is all I can do," Yang Ming patted his butt and ran to the skateboard. He jumped on it nimbly, and his feet were dangling in the air together with Catherine.
The four legs began to dangle.
A police car passed by and when they saw the logo on the hoverboard, they didn't dare to come over to check ID.
"Are there heavy casualties?" Yang Ming asked.
Catherine said, "According to preliminary statistics, 3,672 people died, most of them due to stampedes, and more than 60,000 were injured. Fortunately, the white ghost appeared in time to prevent a large-scale stampede. Otherwise, with the crowds on the street at the time, the death toll would be very exaggerated."
Yang Ming frowned and nodded.
Catherine took a bag of nutrient solution from her windbreaker pocket and handed it to Yang Ming. Yang Ming twisted the bottle open and took two sips, muttering, "Why does it taste so weird?"
"It's emergency food that we normally eat during training, and it can replenish our energy."
Yang Ming asked: "Is Bly's singing his value? When I heard it, I felt very peaceful. It was hard to imagine that it was actually sung by him."
"Well," Catherine shrugged slightly, "He is still useful, so he is still alive today. The higher-ups are very satisfied with his performance this time. Of course, when it comes to rewarding him, they can't give him too much. They can only give him more indulgence in the future."
Yang Ming sighed: "I still think he is an angel."
The corner of Catherine's mouth that had just appeared suddenly curled in disgust.
A news car with the 'Speed 101' logo appeared in the front left, and the four engine apertures slowed down simultaneously;
Before the news car came to a complete stop, the door was opened and a large group of blonde girls jumped out and rushed towards Yang Ming and Catherine in high heels, with several photographers and makeup artists chasing after them.
Catherine frowned and asked, "Why did they all chase here?"
"Looking for you?"
"You know, some news media are always very difficult to deal with. They always chase me and ask for all kinds of inside information... I'll hide for a while and talk to you when I have time. I think I'll be stationed here for a while."
"Okay, you retreat first, don't get blocked by them."
Yang Ming jumped off the hoverboard and waved goodbye to Catherine.
Catherine did a beautiful backflip and stood firmly in the middle of the skateboard. She waved coolly to Yang Ming and quickly rose into the air on the skateboard.
Yang Ming put his hands back into his trouser pockets, thinking about where to get a police car to go back to the hotel. Now all public transportation on the road is at a standstill...
"gentlemen!"
The blonde girl suddenly yelled and grabbed Yang Ming's arm.
Yang Ming was a little surprised and turned to look at the other person: "What's wrong?"
"Is this you?"
The reporter girl pulled out a projection screen, on which several photos appeared.
Yang Ming's figure appeared on the big screen outside the park, calling on the panicked people to enter the open area of the park for shelter.
"It's me," Yang Ming was a little puzzled as to why Lu didn't handle this information properly.
There shouldn't be such a big flaw in the law.
Sure enough, two lines of text appeared on Yang Ming's glasses, and Yang Ming immediately had an idea.
“Found it!”
The reporter girl cheered, and the makeup artist and photographer immediately rushed over, and several floating balls for filming surrounded Yang Ming.
“Can we interview you?”
The reporter girl said quickly:
"Everyone is in a very low mood right now. Your deeds may encourage people to face this terrorist attack positively! Sir, this is very helpful, and we can also pay you a fee."
Yang Ming nodded a little nervously: "I can try, but I don't look photogenic."
"Oh, that's absolutely no problem! You look great! We're not broadcasting live, we'll process it a little bit before publishing it directly, and it will be published as a special edition of tonight's news.
"How did you come up with this idea to remind the public?"
Are you starting to ask this?
Yang Ming said:
"I had just left the park when I saw people running around on the street and heard explosions in the distance... We have all learned this common sense. If there is widespread panic and the crowd gets out of control, it will be terrible. I shouted desperately, but there is a limit to human voice. At this time, I suddenly saw a billboard with a quick link to the park's large screen advertising. It should be often used as a confession area, so I used my network access terminal to connect to it, which cost a little fee..."
Yang Ming presented his deduction bill, the time, place and duration of which were exactly the same.
The female reporter began to ask Yang Ming what he was doing in the park. Yang Ming honestly said that he was a detective and was helping the security forces identify suspicious elements.
The interview was conducted efficiently and smoothly.
Hui Saka's firm gaze, handsome face, and professionalism when talking about the profession of detective made the female reporter and her team overjoyed.
that is……
In the air.
Captain Catherine held her forehead and looked down at the situation below, her whole body engulfed by the black line.
It's so embarrassing.
She listened to Yang Ming's voice for a while, then silently flew to the next patrol location.
Yang Ming raised his head and glanced at her back. If he wasn't being interviewed and this was not a moment that required solemnity, he would definitely laugh out loud.
The interview was quickly broadcast, and related entries quickly became the top ten hot searches on the local portal Yahaxing.
On the way back to the hotel, Yang Ming encountered more than a dozen interview invitations. In the end, it was the hotel security who helped him out and allowed him to return to his penthouse suite smoothly.
Yang Ming was really tired from disaster relief and interviews. He took a quick shower and went into the constant temperature and weightlessness cabin.
He has recently become fond of this sleeping method popular in the Imperial Star Circle, and secondary ancient god life forms do not have to worry about minor problems such as osteoporosis and low blood pressure.
Thinking space.
Lu looked at the photo of Yang Ming on the news with a smile, and rolled contentedly on the single bed with the beautiful girl 026 printed on it.
In this family, she still has to rely on her mechanical thinking and body to make careful calculations.
In the middle of the night, when Yang Ming was sleeping soundly, a phone call came in.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Hello, Mr. Hui Saka, I am the local sheriff you met before, in that conference room, do you remember?"
Yang Ming picked his nose with his little finger: "What's wrong?"
The other party immediately said, "That's right. Your clever and heroic act of saving people has been highly praised by our police station. Opportunities should be left to young people like you."
Yang Ming smiled: "It seems that you don't need a detective as your consultant."
"Oh, I thought you were one of those private detectives who only catch mistresses."
"My noble status will make the police officers feel pressured."
"According to the Imperial Noble Code, we cannot refuse nobles from becoming our partners, and we must also maintain sufficient respect. In fact, I am also a baron, albeit an honorary one."
"Who is the sheriff of Sakaar?"
"Deputy Sheriff Murg, your best partner, has the physique of a black bear and sharp eyes."
"Oh," Yang Ming said calmly, "It's too early for me to cooperate with a high-end police station like Yaha Star. I plan to return to Saka Star to gain experience for a few more years. Goodbye."
"Mr. Hui, we can discuss this. Our police station needs an ambassador! We can pay you a handsome fee for this! Mr. Hui!"
Click.
Yang Ming hung up the call, threw the network access terminal against the wall, grabbed the hatch handle and turned over.
Does he look like he's short of money?
…
"Strange, why can't we find any traces of the white ghost's activities?"
With dark circles under his eyes, Grace stared at the neatly arranged projection screens in front of him, muttering repeatedly:
"He is here, I am sure of it, he is definitely here.
“When the explosion occurred, the White Ghost was somewhere in the crowd. This time he showed up, not wearing a proper combat exoskeleton armor, but a COS costume from a store.
"That means he may have used COS clothes instead of combat clothes in a critical moment, and then started live broadcasting... How come the network can't find any traces? Is our network technology team just there to do nothing?"
The figures standing around him nodded and talked about various possibilities.
Bly, who had just shown his powerful strength, now let his long hair flow behind him, wearing a soft gray robe, and stood quietly behind Grace.
"It's best not to get too close to the answer."
Bly whispered in his heart, and when he looked at Grace, his eyes were filled with infinite indifference.
