Chapter 178 Chapter 178
The two Americans were startled by the sudden sound. They turned around and saw a white-skinned, black-haired young man standing behind them, with a faint smile on his handsome face. The young man leaned over to check their phones.
"What are you doing? This is so rude." The two Americans immediately turned off their phone screens and criticized.
The young man raised his hands with a bright smile: "Okay, don't be nervous, I'm just a little curious. By the way, you are awakened ones, right?"
The young man spoke in Chinese, so the tourists behind him who were also trapped in the strange area could hear him. They turned their heads and looked at him with expectant eyes.
A middle-aged woman came forward and asked excitedly: "Are you awakened? I see, you are students from foreign countries who come here to learn the secrets, that's great, you know how to deal with this, right? Can you think of a solution? Or, what should we do, you know, I have to go home as soon as possible, I have children waiting for me at home..."
She spoke very fast with a slight southern accent. The two Americans were only half-baked at Chinese and could only roughly understand some daily expressions. They didn't understand what the middle-aged woman was saying at all. But from her facial expression and emotions, they judged that she was asking for help.
"Calm down, ma'am, calm down." The man being questioned said quickly, "We, no, don't know, there's nothing we can do."
He gestured as he spoke, trying his best to make his meaning clear in his broken Chinese.
"Eh? Isn't it?" The white-skinned, black-haired young man tilted his head and said in very clear and accurate Chinese, "But I saw you guys coming out of the training base."
"You are from the United States, right?" the young man added, "I recognize this bag of yours. It is sold by a store in the capital of the United States. I have traveled to the United States before. This bag is really expensive. It is said to be handmade by a famous brand. One bag costs more than 10,000 gold coins."
"It seems that only that store has it." The young man finally added, "It's a limited edition and you can't buy it anywhere else."
Ethan, the American who was carrying a backpack, turned pale. He was sure that the man in front of him did it on purpose.
Ethan was born in the countryside of the United States. His family was very ordinary. If he had lived his usual life, Ethan would not have had the money to buy such luxury goods. But who made him an awakener? Or did he completely surrender to the official awakeners of the United States? Simply put, no matter how difficult or bad the mission given by the United States is, as long as there is hope to accomplish it, he will do it. He can get a lot of money by being obedient.
Before coming to China, Ethan and his awakener Wright received a mission from the United States - to steal secret books.
There were six awakened people who came to China to learn the secret manual. The other five awakened people also received the mission, but Jack and another awakened person who were traveling with them said that it was difficult to do it with their abilities, and they would only be caught if they made small moves, so they politely refused. Only Ethan and the other three people clearly stated that they would try their best.
Because of their loyalty to the United States, the United States rewarded them with a large sum of money. Ethan, a poor man suddenly rich and young and energetic, could not help but spend the money lavishly. He had long coveted those luxury brands that only rich people would consume, and now that he had the money, he could buy them naturally.
"Any rich person can buy this kind of bag, right? So can't you buy it too?" Ethan said in the common language of the West.
The young man with white skin and black hair asked back in Chinese: "Then aren't you American?"
Ethan opened his mouth, but there was nothing he could say.
The white-skinned, black-haired young man took out his phone and said helplessly that there was no signal: "What a pity, we should be in the weird live broadcast room. I wanted to see my majestic figure in the live broadcast room again."
Ethan's fingers trembled slightly, and he and his companion Wright looked at each other.
I was so focused on avoiding the cameras in the scenic area that I forgot about the live broadcast in the strange live broadcast room. No one has figured out where the camera is and how it was filmed. Ethan remembered that he and Lai Te were typing on their phones, and he just hoped that the strange live broadcast did not record their phone screens.
Unfortunately, he was destined to be disappointed.
The scene of their chat had already been clearly broadcasted by the weird live broadcast room.
By this time, the Internet was in an uproar, especially since the weird live broadcast rooms were visible to netizens all over the world. When they heard that the largest weird domain in history had appeared in the capital of China, and that it was an unprecedented case of small weird domains connected together, the weird departments of various countries sent people to stake out all the live broadcast rooms to collect all the information they could receive.
The result was a big surprise. I don’t know if the weird live broadcast room had a grudge against them or what, but when the two people were communicating on their mobile phones, the weird live broadcast room enlarged the screen of the mobile phone communication, almost filling the screen of the live broadcast room.
【Hehehe.】
【I just smiled and said nothing.】
[It is indeed the United States. I knew they had bad intentions!!]
[Stealing secrets, dare you be more shameless! ! ]
[You are still hiding the information that you are an awakener. If you don’t want to fight the weirdness, why do you awaken? Go to hell!!!]
【I¥##¥
A swear word was only halfway through being uttered when it was harmoniously deleted.
[It's still the same as before. Isn't America always like this? ]
【Condemning the U.S.'s theft, there should be an explanation for this matter. 】
[The U.S. Department of State has spoken! Go check it out. 】
【After reading this, the US government said that this was purely personal behavior and had nothing to do with the US government. 】
[It clearly says "Contribute to the United States" on this phone, so what? It's a non-stick pan. ]
[Strongly condemn the theft by the United States! Not only has it damaged relations with China, but it has also delayed students sent by other countries. Please take responsibility. 】
【Theft is a personal act, and has nothing to do with the US government. Please don't make a big deal out of a small matter.】
[It is obvious that the speaker is from the United States.]
At the same time, in the U.S. Embassy in China, Harold was on the phone from the U.S., and the person on the other end criticized him from beginning to end, asking him to find a way to solve this matter. In short, let Ethan and the other two admit that the theft was their personal behavior, and then the U.S. is willing to spend money to redeem the two American civilians who committed theft in China.
In short, the money can be compensated appropriately, but not too much. The two people must come back, after all, they are awakened. However, no matter what everyone knows in their hearts, on the surface, the act of stealing must not be related to the US government, it is only a private act.
At least don't let your face be trampled on.
It's not a good look for a great country to be labeled as a thief, right?
No matter how thin and transparent this final fig leaf is, it must be there.
Harold was scolded, and he hung up the phone while wiping his cold sweat. He opened the weird live broadcast room and looked at Ethan and Wright, calling them two idiots. He then looked at the fake secret book on the table and suddenly remembered that he had not yet reported to the US official side that the stolen secret book was fake.
Well... never mind.
Just let the Americans think that what they got was real. After all, Ethan and his two men's theft had been discovered, and the secret book must be returned. After all, the American top brass couldn't touch or see it, so who knew that what they got was a fake?
Otherwise, if the people over there really knew about it, not only would they have gone to great lengths to steal the fakes, but their theft would have been discovered and seen by the whole nation as they admitted it in a weird live broadcast room. They would not only lose money but also be embarrassed, and the people above would definitely make them pay for it.
As for Jack who knows about it, we can just spend some money to do him a favor and ask him to shut up.
Harold looked at the strange live broadcast room and asked: "Is this the conspiracy that China had in mind from the beginning?"
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
And why, why didn’t the weird live broadcast room broadcast anything else, but instead stared directly at the mobile phone screens of these two people?
You can tell it was intentional.
"Is China related to Weird Live Broadcast?" Harold muttered to himself, "Weird Live Broadcast first appeared in China... No, if China had this ability, it would have ruled the world long ago."
If China really had this kind of technology that can connect the mobile phones of everyone in the world, the competitiveness of American products would have been lost long ago, and they would have been completely crushed. Would there be a need to engage in a commercial war like before?
So, it’s just a simple weird live broadcast room that is on good terms with China?
I heard that they have hired weirdos in China who can communicate, like the S-level faceless child.
Of course, it could also be something like after-sales service? The weird businessman Bai Yixin sold the secret manual to China, and did not allow others to steal it?
But what they stole wasn’t real!
"Forget it, never mind." Harold sighed, "Let's just figure out a way to get through this."
If he doesn't handle this matter well, he will be transferred and demoted. He has finally reached this point and become a consul. He wants to make further progress with this official position and wait for his term to expire and return to his country for promotion. He can't let it go in vain.
What a headache.
Inside the weird zone, Ethan and Wright both picked up their phones, trying desperately to browse the web or click on the weird live broadcast room. After the man in front of them mentioned the weird live broadcast, they had a bad feeling in their hearts, but all network signals inside the weird zone were cut off, and they could not browse anything.
Now they can only pray that the invisible camera in the weird live broadcast room won’t stare at their mobile phone screens and play.
"Who are you?" Ethan stared at the white-skinned, black-haired man in front of him. "You are trapped in the strange realm, why are you not panicking at all? Who are you?"
"Who is it..." The white-skinned, black-haired man in front of him touched his chin and smiled, "A traveler?"
"As for my name..." The white-skinned, black-haired man shrugged, "Originally I wanted to keep it low-key, but now seems not the time to do so."
He rubbed his face with his hand, and magically, after the man put his hand down, the color of his facial skin changed from white to brown, his hair length also changed, and his facial features changed from delicate to very handsome.
"Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Shamon." Shamon said with a smile, "Because I'm so famous~~I changed my clothes a little when I travel."
