Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Coincidentally, BCC's London headquarters is near Kant's activity area.

It is two or three kilometers away from Hyde Park and about the same distance from Buckingham Palace. Coincidentally, this historic broadcasting building is on the same street as the Chinese Embassy, ​​300 meters to the north.

Kant had already wandered nearby, looking at the significance of this legendary building with interest.

The world's first TV station.

The world's largest media conglomerate.

Transport and make news.

In addition, a large number of exquisite and shocking documentaries have been dedicated to the world.

-Although a small part is made up, posed, retouched and faked.

Moreover, it has also produced many well-known and wonderful dramas.

One of the most well-known children's programs that once swept the world, but for some subtle reason, has become a very grassy legend in this day and age.

Yes, that is "Teletubbies".

The time has entered the morning from early morning, and the cold London streets are also lively, especially this street in the BCC broadcasting building. Proud news people set off or triumph here, and tourists take pictures on the street. After all, this is indeed a legend. place.

Kant paced slowly on the street, the Brotherhood cloak hidden under the hood of the windbreaker played a miraculous effect with a secret and outstanding arcane weaving - through some kind of shadow quality and passive spiritual interference, the spiritual power was mediocre. Qi people subconsciously do not pay attention to the owner of the cloak, as if it is just a stone on the side of the road, the wind blowing, the sun shining from the sky... No one will pay attention.

"Here she is." Horus' voice sounded in his ear, "She looks pretty good."

Kant turned his head and saw that the reporter had trotted to the side of the street and was looking around.

Her supple blonde hair was coiled behind her head, leaving only a bunch of curls around her ears, which looked both capable and feminine. The khaki windbreaker defended her beautiful and tall body, and only the neckline exposed the secrets under the windbreaker. It is a white sweater, with a high collar wrapped around a swan-like neck, a windbreaker hem reaching to the knees, slender legs stretched out from the bottom wrapped in black pantyhose, and elegant high heels close together to outline straight legs.

Passers-by are either concealed or calm, and give their admiring eyes to this urban beauty in the press.

Kant said softly: "This way, look straight ahead to the right."

The wind blew his whispers to the small ears of the beauty opposite.

The female reporter looked at him in response, then showed a bright smile, waved to Kant, and then ran in small steps, her thin heels tapped cheerfully on the road.

"Oh my God, it's really you!"

Kant wanted to shake hands, but the enthusiastic British people gave him a hug of reunion directly. I don't know what brand or size it was, but the smell of perfume penetrated into his nostrils, and the curly hair by the reporter's ear swayed his side. With this hug, his face, which had been serious and dull, became better.

He smiled: "Alina, long time no see."

The acquaintance with this reporter lady stemmed from the battle of Comora.

At that time, Biagun invaded Komora, and Miss Elina, who aspired to become a great reporter, and her partner Cole entered this small country that is the most backward and poorest in Africa.

They wanted to dig deeper into the shadows behind the war, but by accident they took pictures of extremely cool and cool material-they witnessed Kant rushing to the left and right in the city surrounded by mercenaries after rescuing his father The hit scene of "Wolf Warriors Than Hollywood".

And what happened next was really like a movie - they were kidnapped by a group of mercenaries, and then rescued by Kant who came in a fierce chase.

In the process, the genre shifted from war documentaries to superheroes.

She saw puppet warriors who were not products of modern science and technology, saw Kant fighting with abilities that could not be explained by "Chinese Kung Fu", and witnessed the use of white phosphorus bombs by French mercenaries on the entire city, and saw the vibrating wings of light. The condor roared from the sky, recording the process of Kant saving a city.

During this period, her colleague, Cole, tragically died.

And she survived and stayed in Komora after the war, and recorded what happened after that - the people on the ruins helped each other and rebuild their homes, the aid from all countries stood with the people of Komora, she also Documents the nation's gratitude to Kant.

That is, the whole process of the "Chief Canonization Ceremony".

And now, she's back in London to do what she has to do.

Elina took Kant to a coffee shop and chose a corner to sit down. Kant stretched out his hand and waved lightly. With his invisible hand, he turned the camera in the corner to the side. The coffee was served, and the reporter's white hands were against the cup. Dispel the chill of this cold weather.

Kant asked how she was doing.

"Cole...he was buried five days ago."

A trace of sadness flashed in the eyes of the reporter: "Although his family is sad, they can only accept the facts. Fortunately, the insurance he bought before his death, the pension from BCC, and the photos and videos he took, the resulting copyright fees, Enough to start a new life for his family..."

You must know that the twenty-five filial piety in the new era of "Kant saves the father" has achieved phenomenal popularity around the world. The video materials shot by Cole are constantly quoted by the media, large and small, so the copyright fees obtained are extremely high. Rich, must be a lot of money.

"As for me..."

Alina restrained her grief and smiled: "We have formed a new team, and it is not an easy task to make public what happened in Komora, so we have to secretly prepare for everything... After all, we The person to be charged is quite remarkable, isn't it?"

Indeed, behind the Komora incident is still the new colonial and oppression of Africa by old Western imperialist countries. BCC dares to agree with Elina to lift the lid and support it. One of the most important reasons is that they are British The media, and the object of the grass is French Baixi.

ecstasy, ecstasy.

"Okay, stop talking about me." The reporter took a sip of coffee, "Why did you come to the UK all of a sudden? You should have told me in advance that I can book a 'BCC-tour' for you and show you around our headquarters. , Now it can't be done, after all, the company has regulations, I can't make an exception."

"Of course..." She put down the glass and a beautiful smile bloomed on her face, "If you are willing to accept an exclusive interview and reveal some secrets of Jurban, then I guarantee that our president will rush downstairs and rush to the door within five minutes. Here, personally invite you into his office."

Kant was half-smiling. He turned his head and looked out the window, and he could see the outline of the BCC headquarters building: "I'm here to settle accounts with BCC, who have always carried out emotionally charged actions against our country with deep-rooted prejudice and inexplicable hostility. Criticism, slander and even rumors, I will throw your president and those rumor machines from the London Eye into the Thames and die."

Alina was taken aback and stammered, "Wait, wait a minute! I, we... actually..."

"Just kidding."

Kant smiled: "I don't really care about this, we don't need to be angry because of foreigners' slander, and we don't have to be grateful for foreigners' praise, we do what we should do - Chinese people pay attention to a 'time has not come' , I see the time is not far away."

Elina hesitated, but found herself speechless.

Although the press advertises objectivity and neutrality, real journalists know that this statement is a hypocritical paradox - unless journalists are all replaced by artificial intelligence with strict pre-set positions, news will never be absolute. objectivity and neutrality.

As for the topic of China, it is more of a traditional skill in the Western press—all media must assume a hostile attitude toward China, because they need to attack China to show their unspoken democratic stance, and deeper At a level, they want to deny the legitimacy of China's path to prosperity and power by smearing, belittling, ignoring, and yin and yang.

Because in their narrative system, their "democracy and freedom" set is the panacea in the world and the only good way to solve all problems. Your China is becoming stronger and stronger without this system. It must be somewhere. There's a problem - you must be doing something bad behind your back, and I need to find out.

If you can't find it, just make it up. Anyway, if I'm a good person, then you must be a bad person.

Elina already knew the logic behind this propaganda, so she could only sigh, and after a while, she said weakly: "I don't think it will affect our friendship, does it?"

Kant laughed.

"Of course it doesn't matter," he said. "You are also a member of the people of the world."

Elina also laughed: "Then, you are here this time..."

Kant's expression became solemn.

"Alina." He stirred the coffee at hand, "I came to the UK, I didn't go through customs, it was illegal to enter, for some reason, I can't let your government know that I am in London now, and then I will What I want to tell you is very important, and I hope you can keep it a secret."

"Of course, if you don't want to be involved, you can leave now, but I still ask you to keep this a secret and don't take the initiative to tell anyone about me - I need your commitment."

Elina glanced at Kant in confusion, and her expression gradually became solemn.

"I have my homeland, and if it involves national security and interests... then I can only refuse."

Kant heard the words with a smile and his eyes were deep: "That depends on how to define national interests."

Elina made a tell-it gesture: "Tell me, I promise you, even if I opt out, I won't tell anyone what you've told me."

"Okay." Kant said, "My friend's friend... you can be my friend. She was kidnapped in London last night. She lives with her international student friend..."

Elina's eyes widened: "Last night's disappearance... Is that your friend?"

Kant nodded - there was a lot of battle last night, and even now, there is a team of unwilling reporters hiding around the apartment where the incident happened. It's not surprising that Elina knows about it.

"Oh, my God." The reporter covered her mouth, "I'm sorry, Kant."

"It's okay, I'm here to save her," he said. "So, I need your help."

"I'd love to help, Kant, but..." Elina wondered, "I heard a little inside—the police didn't reveal the news to any news media, let us spy on the side, investigate secretly, and didn't leak a word, and I could Guarantee, there is no scoop, the BCC doesn't know it, no media in the UK knows it - they're very tight-lipped on this."

"I know." Kant said lightly, "After the incident, I first contacted the Chinese government and asked them to submit an application for negotiation through diplomatic channels, asking the London government to quickly solve the case and rescue our citizens. Your government promised well at the beginning. , but soon changed his attitude.”

"They became perfunctory, refused to report the news in real time, refused to provide surveillance images of the incident, and even refused to share the progress of the case. I just went to the apartment where the incident occurred and found that the cameras along the route that could record the kidnappers' escape route were almost all damaged. The surveillance hard drive was also taken away by the police…”

Hearing this, Elina sensed something was wrong with the keen sense of news personnel.

"There is a problem!" she said flatly, "What are the police hiding!"

Doubt and distrust of the government is also a traditional skill of Westerners. The reason for this is not to say that Westerners are naturally unafraid of power and skeptical.

—It's their government that really does all the rubbish.

Why do Western people reject vaccines? Because their government really experimented with its own citizens on the grounds of free medical care, why do Western people always feel that the government wants to control people's minds? Of course, it's because the CIA really did this. Why are they reluctant to join the army and fight for the country? Because their country once ordered active soldiers to enter the nuclear explosion area without protection to test the data on the impact on the human body.

You laugh at others for being anti-intellectual and ignorant, and people laugh at you for being rare and strange.

"I'll join... Count me in."

Elina said: "It is my responsibility to rescue the innocent and expose the sin, and that is your friend, and I am even more responsible, and it even involves the London police and even the government system's malfeasance or even crime, which is even more of my responsibility. The mission of pushing back, in short, what can I do for you?"

"Two things."

Kant held up two fingers.

"The first thing I want you to do for me right now."

"The second thing is what I recommend you do, but I don't force it - there should be some benefits to you, but there must be corresponding risks, it depends on your own choice."

Elina said without hesitation: "Please speak."

"The first thing is that the London police have an ambiguous attitude, refused to cooperate, and took away key evidence. The relationship between the content of the monitoring is the key to locking the identity of the kidnappers... I don't want to be alarmed because I don't know if this is an ordinary kidnapping and trafficking. The case - if it is not, but involves a secret affair of the British power class, then I have rashly contacted the London police, and I will be alarmed by the grass."

"Because the power classes in your country know my true strength and my character."

"At that time, maybe my friend will simply evaporate, disappear quietly, or become a tattered corpse without any clues, and in order to quell my anger and terminate my investigation, there will be a few ghosts with Broken leads always keep their mouths shut - that's not what I want."

"so…"

Kant said solemnly: "I will use my own method and start from another angle to find my friend. I will not look for the missing hard drive, but go directly to the gang in London who is responsible for the kidnapping and trafficking business."

"The Albanians."

"I want to know where their leaders are and their general scope of activities. If they don't have their detailed information, any gang leader can do it."

Kant looked at Alina: "I'm not familiar with London and have no intention of asking the police, so I came to you, Alina, if anyone knows most of the city's secrets - apart from the government, it must be the media, especially For an established media giant like BCC with prestige and competence, the crime situation in London is a big news worth digging into, and you must have an intelligence reserve."

He knocked on the table and said solemnly, "I need a list, urgently."

Elina nodded: "I'll help you - it's not difficult, I was promoted after I came back, and the newly acquired authority allowed me to freely browse the information reserves within many groups."

Kant tentatively said: "It won't make you feel embarrassed."

"You know what I'm thinking now?"

"what?"

Elina smiled brightly: "I'm thinking, thank God, someone has finally come to teach those scumbags a lesson."

Kant also laughed: "I will teach them a good lesson for you."

"The second thing..."

"Simply...if, during my investigation, it is indeed found that the London police or even higher authorities have played a disgraceful role in this matter, or covered it up, or participated in it...I can submit the relevant evidence to Here, you choose whether to expose it or not."

Kant said: "This will bring you great honor and prestige, but it may also cause you trouble, so I won't force it, after all..."

"Needless to say, I'll do it."

Elina smiled and said, "Why do you look at me like this? Is this the first day you know me? Why do you think I'm going to that hellish place in Komora?"

She was smiling, leaning forward, her grey eyes fixed on Kant's.

"I will help you, in exchange, Kant, you have to repay me, right?"

Kant heard the words and nodded happily: "This is very reasonable, please say it."

"It's very simple," Elina said. "In this operation, let me be your logistics staff. I will provide you with translation, intelligence and information support. You have to let me record your actions."

Kant frowned: "This can't be a news report - even without my opinion, your government would never allow you to report a Chinese superhuman running the streets of London... This is top secret worldwide. ."

"It's just not now - the future is uncertain." Elina chuckled. "Furthermore, even if it can't be reported, it still means that I have exclusive possession of this incomparably precious news, and that's enough."

Kant was lost in thought, he looked at the beautiful face of the reporter, and finally nodded slowly.

A shiny silver mobile phone appeared in his palm, and he pushed it towards the opposite side: "Use this to contact me... If you are a logistician, you must have a secret and secure communication channel."

Elina picked up the cold and sci-fi mobile phone. The screen was lit up, and the simple interface was clear at a glance. She smiled and said, "Wow, is it so professional? It needs special communication equipment."

"That's not right." Kant said indifferently, "After all, your cell phone will be tapped by the Americans."

"Oh, that's really embarrassing." Alina wrinkled her nose and grimaced, "Is that why you hacked into my office computer to leave a message?"

She waved her hand: "Okay, you can wait for me here. I'll go back and check the list for you now. It won't take long, very soon."

Kant also stood up and shook hands with the beautiful reporter.

He looked at the mobile phone in the other party's hand, and the reporter must not have noticed that part of the sci-fi electronic device had quietly detached and was attached to the inside of her windbreaker.

"…sorry."

Kant said softly.

Elina was startled: "Huh?"

"I mean..." he said calmly, "excuse me."
