The giant of light in the marvel world
Chapter 8 Naysayer
In a city like New York - especially in Hell's Kitchen, gangs are as common as the air, and there is nothing to worry about. It is said that in Hell's Kitchen, even the patrolmen dare not walk alone on the streets at night. Murders occur frequently in that area, and even the people living there have become accustomed to it.
And the name of the gang Cathy mentioned is the "Green Snake Gang".
This kind of name, which at first glance looks like a nondescript and lousy name, is of an insignificant minion level no matter how you look at it, right?
What is so noteworthy about these small fish and shrimps?
But then again, it’s precisely because no one else is paying attention that the media should do something about it. While tracking and reporting big news, someone must also be responsible for the small things happening among urban neighborhoods. After all, exposing social problems and arousing society's attention and thinking are part of the media's vocation.
Richard also knew clearly how eager this young trainee reporter was to take over a big news story and then become famous and become a famous young reporter or something. Richard knew her thoughts very well. After all, who hasn't been young yet, right? I wonder if he had a similar dream when he was an intern?
But in fact, in terms of physical age after time travel, he doesn't seem to be much older than this little reporter.
He decided to give Cathy a chance to practice, so he nodded and said, "Tell me, what happened to the 'Green Snake Gang'?"
"That's right. I have a reliable informant who gave me information that the Green Snake Gang was responsible for picking up an unregistered cargo ship on Wednesday." Cathy said, "My informant and the Green Snake Gang I have a good relationship with a certain senior member, and the other party revealed a little bit about him. Now I am 80% wrong, 90% wrong, I am completely sure that the cargo ship carried a whole shipload of goods from all over the world. A kidnapped girl!”
No, are you really not sure, girl? Can you be a little more rigorous?
But in fact, anyone who knows a little bit about Hell's Kitchen will know that this kind of thing is nothing unusual. Girls are abducted every week. But if they can catch such an incident once, and then let a reporter with strong writing skills write some sensational words to call for social attention, the news will still be very exciting.
And to be honest, Richard himself is quite disgusted with the practice of human trafficking, and someone should indeed crack down on them.
Young trainee journalists really need this opportunity. So Richard decided to encourage her and asked: "So, what is the name of your informant? Can he come forward to testify?"
Cathy shook her head: "No. The prerequisite for him to reveal the information to me is that his identity cannot be exposed, otherwise his situation will be very dangerous."
"Then you must know where that ship is?"
"I know. But I already went to see it, and the ship was emptied the next day."
Richard had an ominous premonition: "Then you must know where the abducted girls are?"
Cathy shook her head like a rattle: "I don't know."
This is really a question of ignorance!
No, if I ask you, there are no witnesses or physical evidence, so why are you here talking with joy for a long time, are you just kidding me?
Richard complained of brain pain.
Do you think our newspaper is the E3 game show? Just compare whose pie is rounder?
But you always have to be tolerant and patient when dealing with newcomers. Richard was not angry and just spread his hands and said: "So you don't have any evidence, how are you going to let me publish it in the newspaper?" According to a person who did not want to disclose his identity, According to the information, a certain gang in Hell's Kitchen is engaged in human smuggling activities. 'Where's the evidence? No. Where's the people? Missing. Is it really just a picture at the beginning, and the content is all made up?"
Cathy was not discouraged: "It's just not available for the time being, boss. Trust me, give me some time, and I will definitely be able to dig out the information. Just this weekend, I will definitely be able to produce evidence before the weekend! Boss, see if you can, next time Save a spot for Monday."
"Page 7 is wrong, page 8." Richard said expressionlessly, "It can't be any further forward."
"Boss, this is a human smuggling activity of the group!" Cathy was unhappy. Eighth edition? Isn't that just a mosquito leg? Even if such a big news doesn't get a front-page headline, it can't be so far behind, right?
"It's still Hell's Kitchen over there." Richard shrugged, "It's not that I don't want to give it to you, but there are a lot of big news recently. You can check it for me first, and I'll do the layout when you can find it. What if in the end, what will happen to you? If you haven’t found it yet, then you don’t even have a share in the 80th edition, let alone the 80th edition.”
Cathy blinked her big eyes: "Boss, our newspaper doesn't have eighty pages."
"I'm making a metaphor, do you understand the exaggerated rhetorical technique?" Richard felt really tired - is this girl really too upright, or is she deliberately trying to choke her boss?
"Oh, I understand." Cathy smiled, "Thank you, boss, I won't let you down!"
The little intern reporter went away happily.
The office finally became quiet for a while. Richard sat in his chair, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, looking up out of the window.
Although he did not tell the young reporter directly, from a personal emotional point of view, he was very supportive of reporting this type of news.
Although he failed to get married and start a business in his previous life before time travel, he did have a sister who was only fifteen or sixteen years old when he suddenly left through time travel. Comparing his feelings, Richard felt that if his own sister was abducted, then even if he turned the world upside down, everyone involved would have to pay the price.
Of course, there was nothing he could do at that time even if the worst happened. After all, he is just an ordinary person, a young reporter. He doesn't know any powerful friends or has a strong backing. He is just an insignificant person.
But it's different now.
There are many reports that others dare not publish, but he dares. There are many correct things that no one can stand up and say, but he can.
Thinking of this, Richard subconsciously summoned the "Evolution Truster", and the white transformer appeared in his hand in a faint light.
Unlike the transformers in TV dramas that must be carried around, the Evolution Truster is usually stored in a small space independent of reality and can be summoned with the simplest of his thoughts.
To be honest, Richard didn't know how he got this power. In the TV series, it seems that the fittest people in Nexus must be chosen by the light, and anyone chosen must have something special about them. But Richard feels that he is nothing special. He considers himself to be a fairly ordinary person. He has no selfless spirit to sacrifice himself to serve the people, nor does he have any heroic complex to save the world. Of course, he is not like some brain circuits. The villain who is suspected of being extremely abnormal will also have a dream of conquering the world.
If there must be a reason for him to become Ultraman, then the only explanation is shit luck.
But even if it was just shitty luck, he had power after all.
So he felt he had to do something - even if it was just to tell the truth and play devil's advocate.
