After the image of Stephanie dying in the mouth of the hive appeared in his mind, Russell, who was sitting in the main driver's seat, frowned involuntarily.

In terms of ability, Hive is indeed a very powerful alien, and has another sense of immortality.

But parasites or something, it's still a bit too disgusting.

Zhenglian Headquarters.

After returning to the garage in his self-driving Porsche 911, Russell was about to head to Diana's study when his phone rang.

Unfamiliar number?

Looking at this completely unimpressive number, he hesitated for a few seconds before pressing the connect button.

As soon as the phone was connected, an electronically disguised voice came from the opposite side.

"Good morning, Mr. Bradley!"

Although the person on the other end of the phone used a very polite opening remarks, the mature male voice in electronic disguise sounded not polite at all.

how to say?

The sound of this electronic disguise is a bit like the interrogation mode sound set by No. 3 on Peter's Spider-Man suit.

Thick, mature, serious, and a little hoarse.

"Who are you?"

Russell frowned.

The mobile phone he is carrying now is not a work mobile phone for external use, but a personal mobile phone used in daily life.

There are not many people who know his mobile phone number, and there are less than ten people who are fully counted.

Although he didn't know where the guy on the other end of the phone found the number, he didn't like the feeling of privacy being leaked.

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that I know your secret."

The person on the other end of the phone said calmly.

Know my secret?

Hearing this, Russell suddenly laughed.

He does hide a lot of secrets.

The biggest one, even Diana didn't know.

However, he did not take the other party's threat to heart at all.

The reason is very simple, because he listened to some very interesting information from the other party's words.

The young Peter, when using the Spider-Man suit interrogation mode, needs a thick and hoarse mature male voice to disguise his original voice, and at the same time bring some voice and psychological pressure to the other party, thereby improving the possibility of successful interrogation. .

When he first heard the electronically synthesized voice from the other end of the phone, Russell thought that the other party was just trying to disguise his original voice to avoid revealing his true identity.

However, after hearing what the other party said just now, he knew that the other party used this mature and hoarse electronic synthesis sound, not just for disguise.

The guy on the other end of the phone, like Peter, is a rookie with little experience in action.

"why are you laughing?"

The man on the other end of the phone said again.

"It's nothing, but I didn't expect that one day I would be threatened by a rookie."

Russell said with a smile.

"I'm not a rookie!"

"I'm not joking with you. If you don't want your secret to be leaked, you'd better cooperate with me!"

The person on the other end of the phone was starting to get unhappy.

"Okay, I will cooperate with you."

Russell replied perfunctorily, and gestured to the camera in the garage.

When the nearest camera turned to him, he opened his mouth and said a few words to the camera silently.

Although he didn't make a sound, he was sure that No. 3, who was in charge of monitoring, would definitely understand what he meant.

Figuring out what he's "speaking" by lip-syncing is not too difficult for a 3.

"I warn you again, please be serious, if you don't want your hidden secrets to make headlines tomorrow."

After hearing Russell's perfunctory answer, the person on the other end of the phone was even more unhappy.

This also made Russell firmer that the other party was a rookie.

To be precise, it is a rookie who has some skills but no practical experience.

"You are sure you want to tell my so-called secrets to the media. You should be very clear about what I can do in a country dominated by capital like the United States."

Russell said calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the mobile phone that was talking received a message from No. 3.

After looking at the message, he showed such an expression as expected.

"Mr. Bradley, don't underestimate the communication ability of the Internet!"

The "rookie" on the other end of the phone said again.

"Of course I don't underestimate the communication ability of the Internet, but Miss Skye, who is in the secret base of the Brooklyn Rising Tide Organization, do you also look down on Zhenglian's Internet power too much?"

As soon as Russell finished speaking, the other side fell silent.

After a few seconds, the call was hung up.

After hearing the beep of the phone being hung up, Russell looked at the camera in the garage again, and said unhurriedly: "Send a few white warriors over to bring Skye back. As for the other hackers in the base, let him They went to the hospital to lie down for ten days and a half months."

"Okay, sir!"

The electronic synthesis sound of No. 3 sounded quickly.

After instructing No. 3, Russell put the phone back in his pocket and walked towards Diana's study with a calm expression.

After staying in Diana's study for ten or twenty minutes, and chatting about the future development of Zhenglian, Russell returned to his study.

Not long after he sat down in the study, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

The door was pushed open, and a white warrior who looked no different from a normal human walked into the study with a huge black travel bag.

After entering the study, the white male who looked a bit like a soldier first nodded slightly to Russell.

Then, he put the huge travel bag that kept stirring in his hand on the ground.

After putting down the travel bag, Soldier Bai Jue opened the zipper, lifted the person inside with one hand, and placed it on the chair in front of Russell.

Skye!

It was none other than Skye who was put in the travel bag by the White Supreme Warrior.

Just like the information I read yesterday, Skye is a very young, mixed-race child with a typical Chinese appearance.

After tearing the black tape on Skye's mouth and cutting the ropes that bound Skye's hands and feet, the white warrior left the study and closed the door.

"Miss Skye, we can now continue on that topic."

"How are you going to expose my secret?"

Russell looked at Skye, who was wary and nervous, and said with a smile.

"Are you going to kill me?"

Skye asked while moving his aching wrist.

"Not for now!"

"However, if you continue to threaten me, I don't mind changing from a kidnapper to a kidnapper who rips tickets."

Skye, to be precise, the Rising Tide Organization would take the initiative to come to threaten him, something Russell did not expect.

Although he is now a superhero, Rising Tide knows exactly who he was.

Taking the initiative to threaten a killer who is famous in the underground world is not a wise decision.

After hearing his words, Skye was silent for a while, looking at him with a wary face.

Although he was used to being watched and scrutinized by others, after being watched by Skye without saying a word for dozens of seconds, Russell still felt a little strange.

So, he said again: "What do you want to threaten me with?"

He didn't ask Skye what secrets they had found.

No matter what Skye and the others found out, it wouldn't have much impact on him.

"We didn't want to threaten you, we just wanted to know the truth about the alien invasion of New York!"

Skye said righteously.

"The truth about the alien army's invasion of New York, what if you know this?"

Russell's face showed a disdainful expression and continued to ask.

"As long as we know the truth, we can know whether the government is hiding anything, so as to supervise the government and safeguard the people's right to know!"

Although Skye saw the disdain on Russell's face, she didn't think there was anything wrong with the way Rising Tide was doing.

Seeing the overly innocent and righteous expression on Skye's face, Russell helplessly sighed and shook his head at the same time.

Should not be!

Logically speaking, people like Skye should not have such naive thoughts!

Russell would not be surprised if it was those who had been meticulously protected by their parents since childhood and had never experienced the sinister greenhouse flowers of society.

Greenhouse flowers who have not experienced social beatings simply do not know what the real operating logic of the bottom of society is, so they will naturally have some overly naive ideas.

But the thing is, Skye didn't grow up in a greenhouse.

Just looking at the environment in which she grew up, she was no different from an orphan whose parents all died unexpectedly.

What exactly did the Rising Tide Organization do to her, so that she, who had seen the sinister society early on, still had such a naive idea.

"I know you think this philosophy of ours is naive and unrealistic, but I can tell you for sure that this is the philosophy that Rising Tide has always believed in and practiced."

Skye said seriously.

"you sure?"

Russell asked back.

"Of course!"

An extremely determined expression appeared on Skye's face.

"Since you said that the Rising Tide Organization is to monitor the government and protect the people's right to know, then you must not steal commercial secrets and sell them to competing companies, and steal official secret information and sell them to other countries, right?"

Russell looked into Skye's eyes and said unhurriedly.

"Of course! Our Rising Tide Organization is not a hacker organization that steals confidential information for profit!"

The firm expression just now appeared on Skye's face again, and there was some pride in his tone.

"It seems that you are more naive than I thought!"

Russell shook his head and said.

"On the 3rd, project the 'business list' of the Rising Tide Organization for the last three months to Miss Skye."

"Okay, sir!"

The next second, a holographic projection screen appeared in front of Skye.

After seeing the transaction records and information displayed on the screen, Skye's face became a little ugly.

Although the transaction records above were somewhat disguised, she recognized a bank account at one of the overseas banks.

That's the overseas bank account of the Rising Tide Organization!

The proud expression on Skye's face suddenly disappeared without a trace, revealing a look of disbelief.

How is this possible?

How could the Rising Tide group profit from the sale of classified information?

Skye felt that her long-standing beliefs were beginning to crumble.

"This is what you call the rising tide group that steals classified information in order to monitor the government and protect citizens' right to know."

Russell said calmly.

He didn't find the information that the Rising Tide Organization was selling confidential government and corporate information for profit, but that No. 3 found it while investigating the Rising Tide Organization.

In fact, even if No. 3 did not find these materials, Russell did not think that the Rising Tide group would be a righteous hacker group.

When he first came into contact with the Rising Tide, the task entrusted to the Rising Tide was not a righteous one.

From that time on, he knew that the Rising Tide group was no different from hacking groups that specialized in stealing classified information for profit.

If there is any difference, it is that the technology of the Rising Tide Organization is better, and it has the ability to break through the official organization's firewall and database.

But even so, it still doesn't change that the Rising Tide group is a hacker group that makes money by selling classified information.

"These records are falsified, we didn't do it, we never do these things!"

Skye said excitedly.

"At this time, are you still unwilling to accept the reality?"

"There are computers here. If you don't believe me, you can investigate now."

Russell pointed to the laptop on the desk.

If it was another person, he wouldn't be too lazy to explain so much, and it wasn't him who was treated as a fool anyway.

But Skye is different.

In addition to being pretty good-looking and in line with his aesthetic standards, Skye is also an alien with great potential.

Although in his memory, Skye did not use the shock wave superpower to the limit, but he was sure of one thing, that is, if Skye's shock wave superpower was exerted to the limit, the power would not be worse than nuclear weapons at all.

If the conditions are right, it could even shatter the planet directly.

So for Skye, Russell's patience is slightly better.

As soon as he finished speaking, Skye directly opened the laptop on the desk and operated it quickly.

Russell is not worried that Skye will now sneak into Zhenglian's database.

Skye's hacking level is not bad, but it is not enough to hack the Zhenglian database under the nose of No. 3.

Time passed little by little.

Ten minutes later, Skye stopped moving his hands and looked at the information on the screen in disbelief.

it is true!

The Rising Tide is really secretly selling classified information for a profit!

After confirming this~lightnovelpub.net~ Skye couldn't help showing a wry smile.

Russell didn't speak, just looked at Skye quietly.

After being silent for a few minutes, Skye shifted his gaze from the screen to Russell's face, and said slowly, "You specially asked someone to bring me here, probably not to let me know that the Rising Tide Organization is secretly selling confidential information for profit, what the **** are you doing? For what purpose?"

"Yes, having someone bring you here is indeed not just to let you know the 'truth' of the Rising Tide Organization."

"Your level of hacking is very good. Zhenglian needs professionals like you. If you don't mind, I would like to invite you to join Zhenglian."

Although Russell has now handed over the responsibility of the head of the Zhenglian to Diana, he still has the right to bring in several new people to join the Zhenglian.

Although Skye hasn't awakened superpowers yet, that doesn't mean Skye is worthless right now.

If nothing else, Skye's hacking level alone is enough for him to extend an olive branch.
