Chapter 509 Special Thanks
Listeners.
This culprit who has run through many lives and directly or indirectly caused the casualties of many brothers has finally surfaced today!
If you want to rank the most threatening forces and arms of the Night Demon Tribe.
Then the first one is not an assassin, nor a singer, nor a deep sea monster like Godzilla.
It's the enemy's almost all-pervasive reconnaissance unit - the Listener!
It monitors the human world, it seems to be everywhere, and it can make the world without little secrets.
It also makes future prophets like Meng Lang sleepless and sleepless...
Compared with the "clairvoyance" of satellites, the "shunfeng ears" that are always hidden under the water surface are even more disturbing to all. The brothers felt like they had something stuck in their throats.
Meng Lang has been investigating the listener's true face. However, after so many lives, the other person has never shown his true face.
If you want to say what is the biggest gain from this "Special Operation Jinghai Welfare Institute", then uncovering the truth about the listeners will definitely be at the top!
The answer is unexpected, but it seems reasonable...
In fact, Meng Lang had already had vague suspicions before today...
[Let's fight in By that time, Chao's family had fallen to the ground, and except for the body of a pet dog, no one was alive...]
I still remember that during the raid on Chao's family in "Walking Alone on the Moon", there was such a thing A slightly obtrusive description.
Ordinary people might not think much about it, after all, it’s just a dog.
It is difficult for two-legged people to run, but there is no hole for a four-legged dog to dig into?
However, for Meng Lang, who had just obtained the true identity of the "gods", it was entirely possible for a living body with a nervous system, even a non-human creature, to become a "carrier" for the enemy.
That’s what they call the “families”!
People can do it, why not dogs?
A whole family was killed, and a dog escaped...
You said you are not the only "suspected dog"?
Looking back from the results obtained in "Jinghai Welfare Institute Strategy", everything seems to suddenly become clear.
As a "god race", in the new living environment of the earth, I am afraid that it does not have much ability to move.
It needs to carry out activities on the earth in a parasitic manner to clear the way for the so-called "seeds" to come.
Units such as assassins and singers have chosen humans as their parasitic targets.
But the special listening unit of listeners is obviously not suitable. After all, compared to other animals, human hearing is not that good.
Of course not Paramecium. According to Meng Lang's inference, the parasite of the "gods" requires at least one creature with sufficient brain capacity and relatively developed hearing...
Good hearing and smart , and the creature with the greatest suspicion...
Is it a dog? !
Dogs have well-developed hearing, can hear sounds within a few kilometers, and are even more sensitive to infrasound waves. Therefore, dogs are one of the creatures that can predict earthquakes in advance.
After biological modification, its auditory system may be strengthened.
More importantly, dogs are creatures that have a special "civilized status"...
There is a saying that you don't have to be everyone's best friend, that's why God sent dogs task.
In almost every city and every village, creatures like dogs can be seen everywhere.
Watchdogs, pet dogs...
A remote and declining city may be deserted, but it will never be without wild dogs...
Dogs are everywhere on this planet!
Even in a tightly guarded military restricted area, it can come and go freely. After all, who would care about a dog?
Strong hearing, deeply trusted by humans, wide range of activities, strong mobility...
Putting it into perspective, if Meng Lang were from the Night Demon Clan, he probably wouldn't be able to find a more suitable "listening unit" than dogs.
As for the Jinghai Welfare Institute, apart from the orphans, the only ones raised were a group of stray dogs.
This makes them even more eye-catching...
In Meng Lang's original raid plan, these most troublesome reconnaissance units must be cleared in advance, otherwise they may be destroyed before the encirclement is formed. It must be exposed in advance.
Meng Lang had already thought of the sign for the blockade - [No idlers or dogs allowed! 】
As an important base, there is likely to be more than one listener near Jinghai Welfare Institute.
So without being able to pinpoint the targets, he could only choose to kill a thousand by mistake rather than miss one!
But while completing the battlefield cover, how not to alert the other party has become a problem...
Using a demon hunting team disguised as a "dog stealing gang" is one way.
But one or two is fine, but if you arrest dogs on a large scale around the orphanage... even a fool will know there is a problem.
Use policy weapons?
For example, dispatching urban management to the whole town to catch dogs?
But if you only seize Jinghai Town, the rest of the world will be peaceful. No matter how you look at it, it is too abrupt.
If possible, he would like to simply impose a global dog ban to limit the enemy's reconnaissance and penetration.
However, the operation is too difficult.
Ban dogs? You have to have a reasonable reason at least, otherwise the spittle of those dog lovers will drown you, or at worst, they will slap you with a big label of animal cruelty.
At first, Meng Lang had a headache. The scout chosen by the enemy was really disgusting.
You can’t be beaten, you can’t be scolded.
Can I just watch the other person wander around openly in front of me and eavesdrop on the corner?
However, this strategy provided Meng Lang with another way to solve the problem.
It is difficult to ban dogs globally. We can do a regional preview first. As for the method...
Isn’t Director Zhang this morning the breakthrough?
Walking a dog without a leash will inevitably bite someone, and Cheng Biao is by no means the only victim!
It is very common for dogs to bite people in the community.
What scares pregnant women, bites children, and vicious dogs hurt people occur almost every day across the country.
That is to say, it has not attracted widespread attention, so it has not attracted the attention of relevant departments.
If we can make use of the topic, and Mr. Hu is working hard from behind, let alone permanently ban dogs, it is not completely impossible to conduct a temporary large-scale raid in the municipalities and even provinces around Jinghai Town. of.
When the time comes, catch the dogs secretly, but don’t use guns.
Using official actions to fish in troubled waters, the raid is the best smoke screen...
As for how to use the topic to its advantage?
They all say that AI is so good at fighting public opinion wars and taking advantage of it, but no one has seen it with their own eyes. This time, I have the opportunity to see it for sure...
I am thinking about how to deal with Gouzi. Yan Weiwei's sports car had already arrived at the cinema...
...
The movie had not started yet when the two entered the theater.
In front of the screen, the crew of "Flying Life" were being baptized by the reporters below, and the flash lights kept clicking.
"Mr. Qu, can you please give us your expectations for the movie's box office?"
"I heard that "Fortress" next door is also premiering on the same day. Are you worried about direct competition between the two companies? What?”
“Teacher Hao Teng, please When will your next film be released? Will it still be a comedy? "
"..."
Meng Lang quickly found Mr. Qu and Han among the crew. Fei, Teacher Hao Teng, and Duan Xian were familiar figures.
The two of them were not interested in joining in the fun and quietly found a seat in the back row to watch the performances above.
What Meng Lang paid more attention to was naturally Duan Xian, his best friend.
After this period of training from Lingjing Media, the initial nervousness and youthfulness on Duan Xian’s face has faded away compared to when he first debuted.
Faced with such a big scene, I became more calm, with a professional smile on my face.
Although he is not in the C position, as the second male lead and a naturally good-looking Duan Xian, he has still become the focus of several major media reporters and grabbed a lot of attention.
"With Mr. Hao Teng and other stars joining the cast, I am very confident in the box office performance of this movie, and I believe it will surprise all media friends."
"Competition is the norm in the industry, but "Fortress" will Choosing to release it on the same day as us, I decided in advance I really didn’t expect it.
Of course I also wish our friends a good start.”
As the highest-ranking investor in the crew, Mr. Qu is naturally the focus of media interviews. He was able to handle the big scene with ease.
When the question of "Fortress" being released on the same day was mentioned, the smile on his face seemed a little helpless.
Compared with a niche movie with a racing theme like "Speed Life", the investment cost is almost twice that of theirs. The starring role is a well-known domestic young star, the director is more famous than them, and the script is adapted from a well-known science fiction novel.
"Magic City Fortress" has an overwhelming advantage over them from every aspect.
The only thing they can win over here is the box office signature of Mr. Hao Teng...
Normally speaking, it is not uncommon for theaters to be released at the same time, but it is released on the same day. , except for popular festivals such as summer and Spring Festival, it is still rare.
After all, we are all engaged in art. Even if we have to compete, we will not show off our faces and leave some dignity to each other.
When this happens, it's a bit tit-for-tat...
"Mr. Qu, I heard that "Fortress" was announced on the second day after the premiere date of "Flying Life", and the same premiere date was also announced. It’s being released today, is there any unknown inside story?”
Inside story? The inside story is that the investors on both sides are not interested in each other, but can I tell you this in public?
"Maybe it's just a coincidence, haha..."
Mr. Qu smiled a little reluctantly.
To create a movie out of thin air to steal their first-run box office, he naturally asked someone to inquire about it. The conflict between Xu Jinsong and Gao Yuan was naturally not a secret.
Only then did he realize that while he had attracted a financial investor, he had also attracted a roadblock. It was a blessing and a curse.
But now that the matter has come to this, he can only pray that the box office will not be greatly affected...
"Mr. Qu, I heard that there was a case of 'lost finished film' during the post-production of the movie. A major mistake, will this affect the quality of the final film?"
At this time, a reporter in the crowd suddenly asked.
Everyone's hearts trembled, and even Teacher Hao Teng looked at Mr. Qu with some worry.
After the actors are finished filming, they don’t care about post-editing. There are only a few core directors and post-production staff on the crew who have seen the finished film.
So except for a few people present, even the starring actors did not know the quality of the final cut of the film.
But more or less, they all heard that there seemed to be some problem in the post-production, and there was a commotion...
Seeing that Mr. Qu’s smile was a little stiff, Han Fei was He smiled and took the phone.
"This journalist friend is quite well informed, but let me give it a try first. This is another surprise for all the journalist friends!"
After finishing speaking, without waiting for the reporters to continue asking questions, he asked Qu always said.
"Mr. Qu, you see it's almost time. Can everyone take a seat now?"
"Haha! Okay! Dear reporters, if you have any questions, you can leave them until after the premiere. We will also leave time for you..."
...
The back row of the screening room.
"Why aren't you here...I'll call and ask..."
"Hello? What? There was a car accident? Is it serious?"
"Okay. , As long as everything is fine..."
Yan Weiwei hung up the phone and said to Meng Lang helplessly.
"That guy Hu Yifei had a car accident on the way here. There's nothing serious about him, but they are checking the injured in the hospital now, so they probably won't be able to come today."
Accident?
How come this reason seems familiar to me...
"Zero, tell me the coordinates of that guy Hu Yifei." Meng Lang secretly typed a line of text into his phone.
[The target mobile phone location address is displayed as: Baiyeji Headquarters Building. 】
Meng Lang: "..."
There was a car accident, and this guy has never been out at all!
But why did the other party lie?
Looking at Yan Weiwei beside him, Meng Xiaolang suddenly came back to his senses.
This matter is causing trouble. It seems that I have to find an opportunity to show them my certificate of being a famous lady and having an owner.
"Why are you looking at me?"
"Ahem! Are you okay? The movie seems to be starting soon. I'll buy some drinks and come back."
Meng Lang made an excuse, but before he walked out of the door, his shoulder He was touched by a hand.
"Um...Axian?" Meng Lang turned around and saw Duan Xian looking at him with a smile.
"Hey! I just saw you sitting in the back, and you didn't even come over to say hello."
"Isn't it because you are busy? You, the dignified second male lead, are so busy. How can you have time to talk to ordinary people like us?" Meng Lang teased.
"I thought about it. I was afraid that my wattage was too high. How about it, it won't disturb the world of the two of you?" Duan Xian pointed to Yan Weiwei and teased him back without showing any weakness.
"I thought you would come with that lawyer Lin. Is this what you call 'never bothering'?
But I can understand it, after all, plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, Everyone has their own merits, it is indeed difficult to choose..."
"Hey! Stop it, don't get me wrong, we are just ordinary friends. We also made an appointment with other friends today, but they were in a car accident and couldn't come. .”
"Haha! Okay, okay, I believe it, okay, you guys made a date with your friends, but they got into a car accident and couldn't come..."
Duan Xian said, "This is what wingmen do, I understand." expression.
Meng Lang: "..."
He looked helpless.
“I’m married.”
Shocking!
Duan Xian was stunned for three seconds.
“With whom?”
“What do you think?”
“Stop joking, okay?”
"Do you need me to slap my marriage certificate on your face before you believe it?"
"Don't bother me! Do you understand that it is illegal to make false certificates? What's more, the target of the rumor is a lawyer."< br>
Meng Lang: “…”
< br>He covered his forehead and waved his hand, "Okay, okay, you can go cool down somewhere and let me watch a movie quietly."
After saying this, he realized, "Oh no. , you have to sit with me!”
So...
Two people became three people.
"Gudugudu~" Duan Xian sipped his drink, looked at Yan Weiwei in the next seat, and poked Meng Xiaolang's arm in a low voice.
“You really want me to be a light bulb?”
“Well, adjust the wattage and make yourself brighter.”
Duan Xian was speechless.
At this time, the screen slowly lit up and the scene gradually became quiet.
Meng Lang heard Duan Xian's muttering voice in his ears.
"Well, sitting with those celebrities, I'm really not as comfortable here as you."
Meng Lang was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the matter? I see you are prosperous. How can you be so unsocial?”
"No, the water in the entertainment industry is much deeper than you think. Do you understand if my colleagues are jealous of each other?
I am a half-way monk with no reputation and no background. You want to take the initiative to integrate into their society? They don't want to take you to play yet," Duan Xian said helplessly.
Meng Lang raised his eyebrows.
In the past, I only wanted Duan Xian to be a tool, but I didn’t expect that becoming a star would bring all kinds of troubles.
He pondered for a moment.
"Do you still remember that in the dormitory, I, the king, was obviously very good, but you were not willing to take me with you at first, but how did I succeed in making you cry and want to take me with you?"
"Uh. ..." Duan Xian was stunned for a moment.
"Oh? You still have this ability, tell me, how did you do it?"
When Yan Weiwei heard this, she immediately became interested.
Obviously, this guy also belongs to the "very good" type.
"Haha! It's nothing. Then I started studying hard every day until late at night..." Classmate Meng Lang looked nostalgic.
“That’s it?” Yan Weiwei had a question mark on her face.
“They play games and you study hard without disturbing each other. Why are they crying and shouting to take you?”
“You don’t understand this, do you want to quickly integrate into a group of people? Groups can't fight hard, they have to be attacked and saved!" Meng Lang laughed evilly.
"After all...the sound of you pressing the keyboard puts me to sleep peacefully, and the sound of you turning the pages of the book keeps me awake all night..."
"Uh..." Yan Weiwei's eyes widened and she gradually came back to her senses.
After a long time, I finally couldn’t help but complain.
"You scholars... are so dirty-minded!"
Meng Lang: "..."
Duan Xian, who was hurt by AOE, seemed to have some enlightenment and looked at his best friend. Couldn't help but sigh.
"If you can focus on dealing with us instead of dealing with those celebrities, you might be able to do better than me in the entertainment industry."
In the entertainment industry? I'm a good guy in the survival circle!
So he said something very pretentious.
“If our cognition is not at the same level, then there is no need to conquer each other, right?”
Duan Xian: “…”
At this time, lines of subtitles slowly appeared on the screen in front of him...
