The video that Tracy said was very simple.
It was a hospital ward, and two women were talking. One of them was a short-haired woman in a professional suit, and the other was Carly, the female guest.
The short-haired woman said, "Just pretend that nothing happened. Just say what we told you on the show tomorrow."
Carly said, "Well … I …"
The short-haired woman said, "That's an agreement. The doctor's appointment for your daughter has already been paid. If you're willing to pay for it, you don't have to abide by the agreement. "
Carly's expression changed. The doctor was one of the best in America, and the appointment cost 200,000 dollars.
As a single mother, her son had just died and her daughter was still in the hospital. How could she afford it?
After a moment of hesitation, she could only nod. "Okay, but … my daughter is fine, so this is the only time."
Satisfied with the answer, the short-haired woman left the room.
When Carly returned to the bed, her daughter looked at her and asked, "What's wrong, Mom?"
Carly looked conflicted, but she still said, "It's fine. We'll be discharged in two days."
Her daughter was a little uneasy. "But I'm already fine. Uncle Batman came. He touched my head and said that I'd get better, and then my head stopped hurting."
Carly nodded with difficulty. "I'll only be reassured after a checkup in two days."
That was the end of the video.
However, Tracy said that the faces of all three people in the video had been censored, while the video on the Internet had only censored the girl's face.
Tracy didn't directly mention Carly, but only said that she seemed to be a "victim" who had come out to accuse Batman some time ago.
But most people who had watched the show had an impression of Carly. After all, her family was indeed in a terrible situation.
She was a single mother, with one dead and one seriously injured. Her family was on the verge of destruction.
Now that the video was played in Trish's hands, the young female host was able to analyze the dialogue and meaning.
From beginning to end, Tracy didn't blame Carly at all. Instead, she focused on the short-haired woman. "Who is this? Why would you threaten a mother who is in a desperate situation? "
Tracy spoke confidently on TV, gaining the approval of a lot of fans and viewers. She was also very confused. Who had collected this information? Why was it so comprehensive on that website?
Unlike most people who had only seen the video, when Tracy unintentionally clicked on a link, she inexplicably entered a webpage. Not only was there the video, but there were also many related contents.
For example, the identity of the short-haired woman, which foundation she followed, and the recent source of funds for the foundation were all described in detail on that webpage.
Cui Xi felt as if he had found a treasure.
As a sister who almost became a superheroine, she, who also dreamed of becoming a heroine, was a loyal fan of Batman.
If she hadn't sensed that someone was targeting her, she would have supported Batman on the show a long time ago.
She took the information and began to investigate and verify it.
The video was real. Many experts on the internet had already verified it for free.
As for the Holy Mountain Foundation, not only did Tracy use her connections, but she also personally asked her sister, Jessica Jones, to investigate it. The results of the investigation basically matched.
To Tracy's surprise, when she heard that she was going to reverse Batman's case, Jessica, who had always been dispirited and tired, became much more efficient and finished verifying the situation in a few days.
When Tracy asked Jessica if she was also a fan of Batman, Jessica had a strange expression on her face. In the end, she just explained, "I owe him a favor."
Tracy was dumbfounded. She hadn't expected that the Batman she admired would have an affair with her sister? And she had no idea at all!
How the two of them discussed Batman in the end was another story that didn't need to be mentioned.
But Trish said that she had cast the first stone of the August "counterattack."
Yes, it was just a small stone.
But at the beginning of the August storm, everyone thought it was explosive enough.
The hardcore Batman fans, who had been "besieged" by the five major TV stations and online water armies for a month, welcomed their own revelry.
That was how things were.
Sometimes, all that was needed to destroy something was a "point."
In this "counterattack," Carly, the female guest who appeared first, was the most famous, and left the deepest impression, played a key role in removing this "point."
Now, although her son was dead, she was unharmed, and her daughter had fully recovered. The little girl even admitted that it was Batman who cured her.
Then, she chose to compromise and frame him for the sake of money.
Immediately, some online gods pulled up Carly's last performance on the show and even analyzed her micro-expressions frame by frame. It matched exactly with what she said in the video.
That was why Carly's last "performance" had been so "disengaged," because she had been coerced into doing it by a debt of 200,000 dollars.
Now that the cornerstone of trust had been removed, it wasn't just this "brick" that had collapsed.
More and more information about the "victims" began to pop up on the Internet. Although some of it was censored, it was enough to expose these people's lies.
But unlike the first Carly, the subsequent "victims" weren't so innocent.
Carly's tragic situation was real. She had only perjured herself because she was under pressure to save her daughter.
Moreover, the video only proved that she had covered up the fact that her daughter had been saved by Batman in the end, but her previous accusations couldn't be proven false.
On account of the fact that she had lost her son and her daughter had been seriously injured, Luke didn't pursue her earlier words and only focused on her last lie.
Otherwise, even though Angel's armor was an antique, how could it not have an AI program and a battlefield recorder?
However, Luke needed Carly as a "catalyst," so how she would be attacked by public opinion after her framing of Batman was exposed had nothing to do with him.
Since the system couldn't determine the "threat of speech," it naturally wouldn't be considered persecution if he told the truth. Couldn't he say what he had done wrong?
Carly's catalyst drew out another batch of "victims."
He had specially picked out these "victims," and there were serious problems with perjury.
Some lied about their injuries, some lied about their relatives, and some even had fake identities because they were murderers who had changed their names.
There weren't many of them, only a dozen or so people, but they completely destroyed the public's "trust" in the reports of the five major television networks.
The news on the Internet created a storm that gradually pushed back against the traditional media. All kinds of tabloids and small TV stations had already started to follow the trend and publish this news.
Previously, it had been big news when a bunch of mad dogs bit Batman. Now, Batman's hardcore fans were biting back, which was also big news.
Moreover, wasn't this kind of plot reversal a guarantee of viewership?
