"...The successful release of ’Iron Man’ last year was a major hit; Disney is already rumored to be acquiring Marvel. The next big wave in Hollywood is sure to be the superhero genre."
"Superheroes? Co on, making one or two is fine, but after a few large-scale releases, the audience will get bored."
In the pavilion on the southern part of the island, the tipsy elite were having animated conversations, while scantily-clad attendants diligently served them—insider information here was worth a fortune and could earn a lot when used for stock trading outside.
Boom!
A loud noise interrupted the decadent atmosphere, and everyone looked to the northwest direction where it seed smoke was rising.
"What happened?"
"Why was there an explosion?"
The guests looked around but couldn’t see the supervisor,
It took quite a while before a security officer holding a firearm, wearing a bulletproof vest, and equipped with a communication headset approached, explaining: "Please rest assured, everyone. There was an accidental explosion in the warehouse on the island that stored a small number of fireworks. The fire has been controlled."
With this explanation, the guests were sowhat relieved and went back to drinking.
But on the other side, in the island’s monitoring center, the supervisor’s face was ashen.
Through the communication headset, he could clearly hear the frontline tactical team’s conversation—the team had just arrived at the outskirts of the vineyard when the explosion occurred, collapsing the underground wine cellar passage, and faint cries for help could be heard from inside.
The worse news was that the defector, the security officer Bob, along with the three svip slaves he took, and that young man nad Valta, were still missing.
At this mont, the tactical team was observing the collapsed situation, assigning personnel to first move rocks and clear a gap to prevent the guests inside from suffocating to death.
anwhile, they waited for further instructions from their superiors.
"Check the surveillance, find their location no matter what!"
The supervisor’s angry roar echoed in the monitoring room, but it didn’t do much to speed up the search.
To maintain maximum confidentiality, the island’s surveillance system used a local area network, and it didn’t introduce any advanced automatic recognition or automatic warning technology.
"Sir,"
Li Changyu, who had been watching the drama unfold with interest, spoke up: "If I were you, I would send people to the dock first."
The supervisor was taken aback and turned his head, "Hmm? What do you an?"
"There are only a few possibilities for why security officer Bob would betray his employer."
Li Changyu calmly explained: "First, out of personal moral conscience.
Second, having a relative brought to the island."
"Impossible,"
The supervisor shook his head decisively, "We’ve done background checks; his personal history and social connections are very clear. Besides, he’s not so virtuous person."
"I also think it’s unlikely. If Bob had a relative brought to the island, he would just need to rescue a specific target without needing to save passersby, much less go to the underground wine cellar."
Li Changyu continued: "Then there’s only the third possibility. Entrusted by soone, or supported by soone behind the scenes."
"Supported by soone behind the scenes..."
The supervisor’s brows furrowed, suddenly recalling when Epstein was first judicially charged years ago.
At the ti, it was likely the Bush family from the Republican Party exerting force behind the scenes, trying to suppress Epstein and take coincidental action against the Democratic Party.
Old Bush was cunning, and young Bush remained as naive as ever; their family had deep roots in Texas, Florida, and other Southern States.
Of course, that’s not to say the Bush family attacking Epstein ans they are morally superior. Both sides of the aisle in the United States have their own ways, circles, and entertainnt.
"Go, quickly check Bob’s personal and his relatives’ bank accounts, to see if there’s been any large transfers recently."
The supervisor ordered his subordinate to investigate, while he grew more alard the more he thought.
If it really were the Bush family manipulating things from behind the scenes, supernatural battles could easily crush small fry like him.
"It’s just speculation; there are still things that don’t add up."
Li Changyu said: "Assuming Bob is entrusted by soone, his primary goal should be to find witnesses and evidence."
The few people he took are not veteran employees of the island, making them unsuitable as witnesses. There’s even less reason to run to the underground winery."
That’s right.
The supervisor was taken aback. Those slaves are prepared for important figures and had been recently brought to the island.
If witnesses are needed, those retired call girls over the age of 18 would be more appropriate.
Li Changyu said, "In any case, if Bob and his behind-the-scenes forces want to leave the island with evidence, they can only use transportation like speedboats, yachts, helicopters, and planes. Personal suggestion: prioritize blocking the escape routes from the island; at least send soone to carefully screen them."
"Right, right, right, you’re indeed a professional. Thank you so much, Dr. Li."
The supervisor slapped his forehead and imdiately arranged for his subordinates to block the pier and helipad, then took a deep breath, pulled out the walkie-talkie, and contacted his superior, "Hello, Mr. Epstein, there’s been an incident on the island..."
While everyone was busy, Li Changyu quietly left the monitoring room, summoned two security personnel, and headed to the speedboat on the southern beach of the island, managing to leave before the lockdown.
’Run faster, faster.’
Even at over seventy years old, Li Changyu moved swiftly, with the two sturdy security personnel struggling to keep up.
Better safe than sorry; a wise man stays away from danger.
As an Arican-Chinese criminal investigation expert, Li Changyu could retreat unscathed from major cases like the assassination of the founder of Lezong, the Watergate scandal of Tingzong, the young Kennedy dancer case, and the Clinton aide suicide case,
not only avoiding "being suicided," but becoming increasingly famous, all thanks to his keen sense of danger.
He deliberately hinted to the supervisor that if Bob and his behind-the-scenes forces wanted to silence Epstein, the largest source of evidence would clearly be the monitoring room using the LAN.
It was only after sitting on the speedboat, cruising away from the beach and watching the island gradually fade into the distance, that Li Changyu breathed a sigh of relief.
The countless surveillance videos stored in the monitoring room are practically the United States’ version of the "Actions of Officials"...
————
"On this island, I’ve only seen the United States’ scientific spirit. Academics like Hawking not only can be accepted by the ruling class but can also be drawn into their hidden circles. Although this violates the law and public order, it precisely proves the noble status of Arican researchers. This is sothing backward civilizations, which only raise glasses to toast leaders, will never learn."
In the shady forest, Zhongtian Beiji, who was assembling weapons, hesitated, lifted his head, glanced at Pifu, who was talking to himself in the forest, and lowered his voice to ask Oracle, "Who is he talking to?"
"Breaking the fourth wall, probably talking to the audience who’ll see the strategy video in the future."
Oracle said calmly, using a data cable to connect the laptop to the surveillance cara on the tree, hacking into the surveillance network, freezing all surveillance caras in the nearby area on the sa fra, thus hiding their presence.
At this mont, a few players had completed their rendezvous, hiding on another hill a few hundred ters away from the underground winery.
From here, they could clearly see the flashing and swaying flashlight beams of security personnel in the distant dense forest.
"Now what? Are we attacking the monitoring room to get the ’Actions of Officials’ video to blackmail the island’s managent, or are we blowing up the yacht to prevent people from escaping?"
Joker, taking ti amidst busyness, used lipstick and talcum powder to paint a clown makeup on his face and donned a child-sized bulletproof vest (this was provided by Li Cheng as a friendly gesture; the United States indeed has rchants selling children’s bulletproof vests).
"None of that."
Li Cheng turned around, holding a children’s JR-15 rifle.
This gun was launched by Arica’s WEE1 Tactical company in February 2022, designed on the basis of the AR-15 assault rifle, specifically modified for children’s physiques, with the overall length shortened by 20% compared to the original version, and using lightweight materials to reduce the weight to about 1 kilogram.
Even elentary school students can easily carry it, and once disassembled, it can be packed into a backpack.
While children of the Eastern Giant are still dreaming of battles with 3 million mouse clicks, Arican kids have already started playing Call of Duty and Battlefield series.
"The monitoring room is located under defensive fortifications. It’s sowhat challenging and not worthwhile for the four of us to quickly take it down. As for sinking the yacht... it’s worth considering."
Li Cheng said, "If I’m correct, the real big shots on the island are likely receiving the news and starting to shake the military."
Zhontian Beiji and the other three collectively frowned,
Pifu’s current Spiritual Power Value cap is 80 points, Oracle’s is 72 points, Joker and Zhongtian Beiji’s are both 45 points.
The ability value cap roughly equals the unlocking progress of Extraordinary Power; when the four players band together, they can sowhat confront the security forces on the island,
but if faced with a private military company carrying heavy firepower or regular Special Forces... it would be challenging.
"So we must be quick, rapid. While capturing and locking svip, create trouble for the external forces attempting to rescue, striving to buy us ti."
Li Cheng slung the children’s rifle over his shoulder and turned around, gazing towards the airport runway in the northeast direction, "Step one in the special military operation: begin by seizing the airport."
