"Um … Should we introduce ourselves first?"
Waldo stuttered in the car. He no longer had the mannerisms he usually had when he was on Facebook and Instagram.
The main thing was that Leah was really beautiful. She was even more beautiful than the photos of female celebrities and female casters that he had seen before. In fact, most of the private photos of female casters and celebrities didn't have the same effect as those posted online. Some were even completely different species.
Leah was one of those rare girls who looked better in person than in photos.
It was the first time Waldo was so close to such a beautiful girl. He was so nervous that he stretched out his hand and said, "I-I'm Waldo. Uh, I'm 24 years old this year. I don't have a girlfriend yet. I like Gundam and DOTA 2 … Oh, I'm also Gaspard's friend."
"You guys know Gaspard?" Leah shook Waldo's hand in surprise.
"Huh?" Waldo almost fainted when he heard that. He looked at Zhang Heng and asked in panic, "You … didn't you use Gaspard's identity to contact her?"
"No, I said we are Edward's friends," Zhang Heng said.
"Huh?" This time, not only Waldo, but everyone in 01 was stunned as well. Little Boy frowned. "How did she believe you?"
"Rocky is a stray puppy that my brother and I picked up. At that time, my mother didn't allow us to keep a dog, so we found a cardboard box and built a home for him outside the yard. We fed him every day. But a week later, Rocky disappeared. We searched everywhere but couldn't find him. He just disappeared all of a sudden. We haven't seen him since. It's a secret between me and my brother. No one else knows about it," Leah explained.
"No wonder you asked Leo to tell him that Rocky would be back next week. Wait," he looked at Zhang Heng. "How did you know about this?"
Leah's eyes became vigilant. "Didn't my brother ask you guys to come? Who the hell are you? "
"We are indeed Edward's friends, and it was Edward who asked us to save you. As for Loki, I will explain it to you after everything is over." Zhang Heng made a promise that would never come true with a straight face.
When everything was over, all the players, including him, would leave this dungeon. There was no need to explain anything.
By then, Ponytail had already prepared the camcorder. "Do you have anything to say to your brother?" he asked Leah.
"Is this some kind of prank game?" Leah raised her eyebrows.
"No, we want to send evidence to Edward to prove that we have indeed rescued you from Black Nest, so he can start the next phase of the operation."
"What's the next phase of the operation?" Leah took the camcorder.
"Edward will expose the evidence in his hands to the media and expose Black Nest's use of CTOS to collect private data of citizens."
"And then?"
"Uh, then there's a high probability that the CTOS project will be aborted under the pressure of public opinion, or it won't continue until a way to effectively protect citizens' privacy is found."
"I'm asking what will happen to my brother."
"Hmm, I … I don't know." Philip looked at Zhang Heng for help.
"We will protect Edward from Black Nest's pursuit until the truth is exposed."
"And then? What happens after the media exposes it? "Leah asked tirelessly.
"At that time, Black Nest will have no reason to go after your brother. After all, this matter has nothing to do with personal grievances. Black Nest is only hunting Edward to prevent the evidence in his hands from being leaked. Once the truth is exposed, Black Nest will probably stop harassing your brother. If something happens to your brother at this time, Black Nest will only be more passive in public opinion. Of course, anything can happen, but as long as I am still here, I will protect your brother's safety. "
"One last question. If you have to choose between my brother's life and exposing Black Nest, which one will you choose?"
"Edward," Zhang Heng said without hesitation. Although exposing Black Nest seemed to be more important, his main quest was to help Edward escape. If Edward died, even if he could expose Black Nest, it would be meaningless for the players who chose to join him.
Of course, Zhang Heng still supported exposing Black Nest. As he said, once the truth was exposed, Black Nest would have no reason to continue hunting Edward. After all, Black Nest was not a gang, but an interest group. Interest groups also had their own benefits. They generally acted rationally and rarely acted because of personal grievances.
On the other side, the 01 people also chose Edward, but they had the mindset of ordinary people. They simply didn't want anyone to be sacrificed.
Leah rubbed her chin and thought for a moment. Waldo, Philip, and the others looked very nervous until the girl raised her head again. "Why are you looking at me?" she asked in surprise.
"Waiting for you to make a decision."
"What decision? I'm already in your car, and there are so many of you. I can't beat you. What else can I do but listen to your arrangements? "Leah spread her hands.
"She seems to have a point," Waldo scratched his head. "No, we are not bad people. No matter what, we are helping your brother. You have to be willing to do this." "Well, I didn't say that you are bad people," Leah said.
"Well, I didn't say that you guys are bad guys," Leah said. "At least you guys won't be monitoring me 24/7 like those people in Black Nest. This is the part that disgusts me the most. I get goosebumps when I think about being watched no matter what I do. If what you said is true, I don't want CTOS to go online either. After all, we all have secrets that we don't want to share, right?"
"I think she has the spirit of a geek," Waldo's eyes lit up when he heard that. "Can we recruit her into the 01 Guerrillas?"
"Don't even think about it. You are several galaxies away from her," Little Boy said. "Give up. You have no hope. Ask her if you don't believe me."
"Sorry, you are not my type. Although it may be a little hurtful to say this directly, I don't want to give you hope and disappoint you," Leah said. "But you are quite cute. There should be no shortage of girls in the future."
Waldo's face turned red when he heard that. He didn't expect his love to come and go so quickly. It only lasted for less than three minutes.
Leah returned the DV to Ponytail. At the same time, Zhang Heng handed his phone to her. "Let's take another one. I have a friend who likes to be alone. He also participated in this rescue mission. We need a video to prove to Edward that it's him."
"Ha, so this is still a joint operation?"
