Overturned Tower

Vol 2 Chapter 13: don't bark

Taking the melodious hymns sung by the nuns as the background music, the prefrontal cortex softly explained to Russell the whole story of the "werewolf" incident:

"At the beginning, it was the director of the marketing department of Tianen Group's branch in Chongguang Island, who received a blackmail letter..."

Mr. Director, code-named "No Bark", is a middle-aged man with a gray wolf as his spiritual relative.

As the executive of the branch, he was also dispatched from Happy Island. Different from the fiercely competitive headquarters, the competition in the branch is much more relaxed... After all, there is only one Ling director who absolutely controls the top of the branch. Although there are so-called "executive directors", they are essentially the same as hired store managers and do not have any real power.

In other words, after he reaches this level, there is no room for promotion. And as long as he doesn't make any big mistakes, he will definitely not be dismissed - after all, it is quite troublesome to transfer someone from the headquarters to take over the job.

- Can't go up, can't come down, can't go back.

It's stuck here.

So he just put it aside, stayed in Sogo Island completely, and settled down to start a family here.

Mr. "Don't Bark" was very young when he was sent here, only twenty-eight years old. And now he is forty-two. He takes care of his wife and daughter with peace of mind on weekdays, he no longer cares about the company's affairs, and becomes very kind. His neighbors think that Mr. No Bark is a very polite, cultured, gentle and nice old man.

And just three months ago, Bubai received a threatening letter.

—The content of the letter required him to cancel the payment for various entertainment products.

According to the definition of "branch" governance, the branch companies of each sky island have the right to govern the affairs monopolized by the headquarters, and give priority to developing business in each sky island. It's like Anbe Biomedical can acquire other hospitals in Happy Island and recruit other medical scientists and pharmacologists without being stopped by Tianen Group.

The unique technology of Tianen Group is memory review and editing technology, which also includes editing and production of various transcendental reality chips. But their main business is news media and cultural entertainment... including news, newspapers, TV stations, advertisements, TV dramas, variety shows, movies, animation, games, and VR transcendence. Basically, it can be said that all types of entertainment that can be experienced on the Internet are under the jurisdiction of Tianen Group and its branches.

At the social level of Sogo Island, there is a tendency to resist this kind of entertainment. But because of this, there are more loyal users with fewer means of entertainment... which means that their business competition pressure will be reduced accordingly.

Because the residents of Sogo Island have no choice. The things released by the branch of Tianen Group have to be bought no matter how expensive they are.

The most iconic one is the "program fee". Except for the six "free programs" designated by Tianen Group, all other programs will be charged according to the viewing time. And this kind of deduction is the same as the electricity fee, there is no prompt at all when using it, and it will be automatically settled and deducted at the end of the month.

Because the mainstream view of Sogo Island is that these entertainments will make people degenerate. Therefore, even if the Sogo Group branch used an obviously unreasonable charging system, there was no large-scale opposition—it can even be said that opposing this charging system itself means showing that you are a "lazy person" enjoying this kind of entertainment , or "envious people" who want others to perish. And such people will be alienated by other people on social media and in real life... because just by approaching them, agreeing with them, and supporting them, others may consider them "the same kind of self-willed depravity".

Therefore, although there are always people who oppose it, these voices have never been able to gather together.

It can be said that these real entertainment lovers are suffering.

However, the loneliness of being socially alienated, and the anguish of having to spend a lot of money to enjoy the things you love, accumulated over time...they never disappeared.

"Buying" believes that this incident is likely to come from the revenge of this kind of people. So he reported this matter to the branch office and the three sages on Chongguang Island, and then let it go in his mind.

But two months ago, a gangster wearing a jackal hood bypassed the dense protective equipment and broke into the house when he was not at home. He hijacked and **** his wife and daughter. A blocking chip was inserted at their interface

Afterwards, they were **** and locked in the bathroom with the shower head turned on.

When Bu Bark came home, he subconsciously thought that his wife and daughter should be taking a bath. So even if he heard some voices, he didn't care.

And when he felt that the bath time was too long, and went to the bathroom to check...he was attacked and knocked unconscious the moment he opened the door. Afterwards, his wife and daughter saw the "masked werewolf" and took him away.

When he was doing this, he didn't have time to insert a chip that could block the signal in the first place. Therefore, the moment the non-barking head was hit hard, the "special member emergency treatment team" of Abe Biomedical was dispatched immediately. They took a helicopter and arrived at Bubai's home within three minutes, but unfortunately they did not find Mr. Bubai and the gangsters, but saw Bubai's wife and daughter **** in the bathroom.

There is no camera at all in Bubai's home, which is what these middle and high-level figures have in common. They put too much trust in the city and crime warnings that are completely monitored by the three sages, and they will more or less do things that are not so legal. Therefore, in places where these actions may be carried out, all monitoring equipment that can be controlled by the three sages will not be installed.

He didn't bark at the surveillance camera outside the house, but found nothing. During the whole process, no criminals were found entering, nor were they seen leaving.

Soon, the executive department of Sogo Group arrived at the scene. But after they conducted an extremely thorough search, they found nothing.

Except for the footprints, the gangster clearly had bare hands, but he didn't leave any fingerprints, and even the skin flakes didn't fall off at all. Therefore, the executive department once suspected that this gangster might be a "mechanical servant", at least there should be a layer of synthetic skin outside his skin.

But even if its own marketing director was kidnapped, there was still no movement from the branch of Tianen Group.

They easily suppressed the "threat letter" and did not broadcast news related to this time at all. But soon, rumors about this incident suddenly began to spread among the crowd... When the three sages checked the source of the rumors, they found that it was an ordinary high school student. And he himself has no memory of the incident at all.

Afterwards, the gangster put the letter asking for the ransom by his wife's bedside in the middle of the night. But the female bodyguard who was in the same room had no memory of this at all—she swore that she had never seen anyone appear in the room. But Sogo Island does not allow memory review, so she can only be dismissed.

The gangsters asked for a ransom in the form of "gold bars" and asked them to put it in a designated place. The wife who didn't bark immediately notified the executive department of Sogo Group.

Executives put a tight grip on it—this time with a large number of people, not just cameras, to monitor Ransom and the surrounding area. But in the end, the letter said that the time for paying the ransom had passed, but no one came to collect it.

At that time, the executive department of Sogo Group believed that it should be that there was an inner ghost among them who leaked the information about this matter.

So they took the opportunity to carry out an internal cleaning...

With the large number of unemployment and detention in the executive department ~www.wuxiahere.com~ this news finally couldn't be suppressed.

The SOGO Group conveniently threw the pot away and asked the branch of the Tianen Group to report the incident. And accused the incident entirely because they overpriced entertainment caused by.

Sogo Island is ruled by the Sogo Group. Among the twelve spirit directors and twelve human directors, six spirit directors and twelve human directors are from the Sogo Group—the remaining six spirit directors are from the other six Giants, and the chaos caused by this incident made everyone feel troubled.

So it was a rare one-to-twenty-three landslide vote.

In the end, the branch of Tianen Group had no choice but to announce the news, and really lowered the prices of most of the entertainment programs.

And the day after they lowered their pricing...

——Not barking, but suddenly returned to his home safely with the posture of the interference chip being pulled out.
