With doubts in mind, Claire began her special training course.
Stacy's monthly exam was approaching, and she didn't leave again. She stayed in her own house in New Jersey and began to "study for the exam."
Luke knew that they went out together every day, and couldn't be bothered to care.
Compared with his sister's gossip, the gossip about Daxi City was at its peak.
The authorities were in a bit of a bind.
Even though the Heavenly Eye Society had made a mistake, and the conspiracy hadn't been exposed yet, a lot of people were already cursing.
The performance of the National Guard really made people feel insecure. But that wasn't all.
In the face of a strange incident, it was normal for the army to be incompetent.
As for the police? In this case, the police should be thankful that they weren't completely wiped out.
Their colleagues in New York have repeatedly and amply demonstrated this.
Now, the focus was on the fact that the authorities had cut off communications in Daxi City, which had been discovered by some big shots and publicized.
The people who entered afterward were mainly collecting the witches' belongings, and hardly participated in the rescue.
For three days, Daxi City was completely sustained by the spontaneous rescue efforts of local agencies and civil society organizations.
For the American authorities, this was a very normal thing.
A rescue would cost a lot of money.
How much was spent and how it was spent would become the focus of congressional wrangling.
After all, if they spent more now, they would definitely have to squeeze more money in the future.
Even if Daxi City didn't spend much this time, it would still be a lot of money.
This wasn't the time of the poor, and it would be a waste no matter how much they squeezed it.
In fact, three days was the fastest time after public opinion.
The more bureaucratic the authorities were, the angrier the people became. At the same time, a joke about the Dark Knight appeared.
The general idea was that in order to save people, the Dark Knight didn't even have time to go to a corner to change, and directly transformed and went to Daxi City.
The authorities had been dawdling for so many days. Who knew what they were hiding? Were they destroying evidence?
Although not many people took the joke seriously, most people still spread it everywhere out of the habit of slandering the authorities.
The authorities, who had originally been withholding funds for the rescue, had no choice but to step up their efforts to prevent people from throwing sh * tting back at them.
In this regard, the people of Daxi City benefited a little.
The authorities were also having a headache about online public opinion. Many people had already proposed monitoring and controlling the Internet.
A consensus was quickly reached. All that was left was how to do it.
Some people immediately wanted to intervene in F2F and QQ, but they were quickly suppressed by several other companies.
The software company was a big cake, and many interest groups already had a piece of it. If they were to fight for it, it would be their internal changes. They would not let a group of people come in and fight for the right to speak.
After all, the shares of these two software companies were still clear, and there were only a dozen or so companies involved.
If this matter became popular and more people came in later, the number of shareholders would increase to twenty or thirty. Then the power of the dozen or so companies would not only be reduced by half, but they would also be lost.
Regardless of whether it was the person who proposed this proposal or the person who opposed it, they all knew the cause of this matter.
Titanium Cell Phone Company was quite cooperative and had long been under the surveillance of the American authorities. Therefore, it was not that these two software companies really had 'hidden dangers', but purely an excuse for others to come in and get a piece of the pie.
If he could get the shares of these two software companies, he would be able to get huge returns in terms of money and public opinion.
Currently, the two software companies had only just broken the 10 billion mark. By this time next year, their valuation might increase by several times.
Now was the last chance to win big by playing small.
With the support of Titanium Cell Phone Company, a cash-cow parent company, the two software companies had been burning money like crazy. They used money to raise the threshold for the two software companies and eliminate latecomers.
As long as they completed the user ecosystem, the other software companies would have to spend several times the cost to be qualified to snatch users from them.
There weren't many forces that had that much money, and it was even harder to find one that dared to burn it like this.
This also meant that F2F and QQ were bound to become giants in the social software industry.
To use a TV station as an analogy, they were the "five major networks" on the Internet.
The key was that these two companies alone controlled more than 60% of the market, and were completely dominant.
The officials didn't do anything serious, and focused on taking the opportunity to make money for the companies they represented.
While Luke was educating his sister, his clone turned into the Clown again and made several moves in a row.
Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio once again had six state-level bigwigs rise to the heavens.
S.H.I.E.L.D. directly lost two offices. With a one-off reduction of 50%, it was clear that they couldn't continue working.
Nick Fury flew into a rage and ordered a group of people to either surrender or retreat.
Of course, those who were demoted were all Hydra members, and those who were removed weren't Hydra members.
S.H.I.E.L.D. would be a big graveyard sooner or later. Nick Fury naturally had to get his people out in advance, and Hydra would all stay behind to be buried with this pit.
Luke's days were just that peaceful and boring.
He went to work as usual, educated his sister, and regularly inspected Secretary Jenny's work as well as Elena's paintings.
The level-one clone turned into a clown and wandered around, playing some trial games on the way.
The level-two clone studied Chitari technology and the black magic he had just obtained every day. When he felt bored, he would go out and beat up some hooligans, and occasionally look for Max to make cakes with him.
He had thought that these days would last for a long time, but at the end of March, Phil, who hadn't shown up for a long time, appeared.
It had been a long time since they last met, and Phil was in good spirits.
From what Luke could see, Agent Coulson's hairline had only moved up 0.1 millimeters since the last time they met, which could be considered a miracle.
Opening the passenger door, he sat down and gave Luke one of the two cups of hot coffee in his hand.
Luke took a sip and asked, "What's wrong? Is your girlfriend pregnant? You look so happy. "
Phil's smile froze. "I've been busy with work recently."
Luke nodded regretfully. "That's not good news."
Recalling the investigation, Phil smiled bitterly. "It really isn't good."
Luke said, "Just tell me, who are you going to deal with?"
After a brief silence, Phil didn't bother with pleasantries. He gave Luke a memory drive and said, "Here's the information. Let me know when you've decided."
Luke accepted it, but didn't check it. Instead, he took a silver box from the backseat and tossed it in Phil's lap. "New equipment. Try it on later. Don't die for no reason."
A moment later, Phil stood on the side of the road with a pained expression on his face as he looked at the black SUV driving away. "Hey, I took a taxi here. Do you want me to run back now? "
Looking at the New Jersey meadows in the wilderness at night, he sighed and prepared to flag down a car.
If worse came to worst, he would have to switch to the woman's face in the mask, which would be super easy to hitchhike.
But after taking two steps, he suddenly remembered what Luke had said about "trying it on," and couldn't help but examine the box in the pocket.
After hesitating for a moment, he returned to the woodland and opened the box on a flat rock.
