Overturned Tower

"—Shit!"

Amidst the angry curses, the ashtray flew out and hit the screen directly.

The huge LCD screen was smashed and cracked, with spider web-like cracks all over it. More than half of the screen went dark, losing signal and turning into pitch black, and some of it turned into distorted and dazzling colors.

Today, Mark's eyes are bloodshot.

As soon as he finished cursing, he covered his forehead.

As soon as I said that sentence, I felt that my blood vessels were constantly swelling and shaking. Saying this sentence was like a heavy punch to his head, and he even felt dizzy and couldn't breathe.

The blood vessels under his scalp were vibrating heavily and rapidly... to the point where he could easily "hear" the heavy blood vessel pumping sound directly with his ears. If you shake your head a little, you will feel as if there is a heavy iron ball shaking inside your brain.

Mark hasn't slept well for three days.

Ever since he got the news that Miss Dailan would participate in this episode of the Emperor's Talk Show, he had been so worried that he could hardly fall asleep. Every night he thinks about a lot of messy things... Over the past three days, he has only slept intermittently for less than four hours. He was so sleepy that his eyes were dry and red, but he had such a headache that he couldn't sleep at all.

But now that he has finally finished watching this episode of the Emperor's Talk Show, he should be able to sleep.

But after reading it, his blood pressure rose instantly. The UI in his upper left corner even reminded him that his body temperature was rising abnormally, and his blood pressure and heart rate had entered the danger zone——

Mark only felt that there was a metallic noise echoing in his head... He seemed to have some tinnitus, and there was a sound like metal friction and the buzzing of mosquitoes lingering in his head.

"mark!"

His roommate heard a loud noise coming from the room and ran in without even wearing the right slippers: "What happened? What exploded?"

Then he took a closer look and saw Mark, who was panting violently like an enraged bull, staring at the flickering screen with only a quarter of the screen left. And Miss Dailan, who seemed to have only one head left, appeared in a corner of the incomplete picture.

It didn't take long for him to figure it out.

As the former Xiao Liuli single promoter, Mark became a die-hard supporter of Fuji Society after the barber exposed that he was the former Xiao Liuli.

He was the first to realize last month that Russell and the barber might be missing. Among the earliest videos that suspected that Russell was missing and that the Tianen Group was targeting Fuji Society, he made one.

Although I don’t know why, the Tianen Group’s network security department did not delete their videos, nor did it send an execution department to arrest them... But Mark believes that this must also be a conspiracy of the head office. After the senior executives of Fuji Society disappeared one after another, the capital poured into Fuji Society was quickly corrupted as evidence.

Normally, capital is profit-seeking.

After fully controlling Fuji Society's "subject credibility points", they have gained the right to speak on this platform. At this time, what they have to do is to start harvesting - to drain Fuji Society's production capacity and interests by gradually lowering the purchase price, instead of continuing to invest excessively and keep prices high.

If it only lasts for a period of time, it can also be understood as a game. Because at this time, as long as one of these "investors" chooses to "betray", he can immediately obtain a large amount of benefits. That's not several times, but more than ten times or dozens of times. And the most critical thing is... when the first person runs away, others must use a higher price to buy the points he sold at a premium, otherwise this absolute control will be gradually diluted by the market.

In other words, when people who hold more "points" choose to run away, the "virtual assets" held by others will depreciate in value.

The first one to run away will be able to cash out and gain income immediately; if someone runs away, the assets they hold will shrink immediately; if there are enough people running away, the remaining people will lose everything.

Under this kind of "coercion and inducement", it is impossible for this structure to remain stable, and someone will inevitably decide to cash out. Because even if they can bear it themselves, they have to wonder if others can.

However, this has been more than a month. Not only was no one cashing out, but excessive funds were being continuously injected.

This means that the value of points in the hands of original investors will be diluted. Because market behavior has been disrupted, and points are not issued but "produced" through points transactions, the number of new points will become less and less. People also tend to regard points as a more valuable currency and begin to reduce the use of points - which will lead to a further reduction in circulation in the "market".

This is not a good thing for anyone.

Fuji Society's "credit points"... although its transaction price is rising, its overall value is unstoppably declining. High-value currency that no one will use will become "good currency" and be driven out by bad currency.

So some people, including Mark, keenly discovered the problem——

Those people - or at least some of them, those investors who are the main investment entities, do not want to make profits or gain power through the Fuji Society platform. Instead, they plan to use this method to directly paralyze the daily operations of Fuji Society, and then destroy the fundamentals of Fuji Society!

They don't need to make money by trading "credit points" at all, because they don't value this benefit. What they have to do is to keep throwing money and keep throwing money until no one will reward credit points as tasks to others, using profits to destroy the atmosphere of "mutual help" among people.

And these investors are not just one family or two, otherwise Fuji Society would have noticed something was wrong long ago. They were many people... the big shots who joined the Fuji Society one after another within a few months.

To be able to make so many "big shots" obediently obey orders and conduct excessive capital injections in an orderly and disciplined manner... there is no doubt that this must be an order from the board of directors.

The group with supreme power on Happy Island wants to destroy Fuji Society.

They did not destroy by sending the executive department to physically kill them, because they believed that this would only strengthen the faith of the members of the relief society, and then they would go underground; they did not destroy by spreading rumors and smearing, because they knew that this would only help the members. Jishe spreads its popularity and allows more people who oppose the company to join; they do not destroy Fujishe by erasing its existence in the online world. That will only make people clearly aware of the existence of Fujishe, and Let people continue to educate people about their existence.

The board of directors is sincerely and extremely serious about destroying them——

Therefore, they chose the sharpest and most unstoppable conspiracy.

That is to corrupt them with money.

It is not about using money to buy off individual traitors, but about buying off everyone - giving benefits to everyone. If they give up the rules of Fuji Society's game that "it's unclear how long it will last," they can immediately gain solid benefits within the existing social rules.

Therefore, it is the members of the Fuji Club themselves who are caught in the prisoner's dilemma. Even if they don't sell points but use them normally, they can't restrict other people who have obtained points to sell them. And when everyone is doing this kind of thing, the environment is destroyed. A person's persistence becomes meaningless, and they can only choose to obey the environment.

Everyone who is active does not follow the rules, and can make steady profits from it, and will never be held accountable. Then, those idealists with dreams and original intentions have become a minority because they are preventing others from gaining benefits.

Even upright people who are not tempted by this benefit will feel that their behavior is not good. If they continue to obstruct, it will lead to internal divisions and struggles among the "idealists"; but if they give up obstruction, they will not be able to prevent the continuous loss of a large number of people at the bottom of the organization.

All it takes is continuous capital injection to completely destroy the vitality of this organization - and the only one who can pay this price regardless of profit is the head office, which regards Fuji Society as its enemy.

Since they had done such a thing, how could they let Russell and the others go?

Therefore, Mark realized from the very beginning... I am afraid that they are not missing, but dead. It was just that he still had luck in his heart and wanted to hear what Miss Dailan had to say.

But now, Mark finally gave up.

Looking at Mark, who was livid and fell into silence, his roommate sighed helplessly: "There's nothing Miss Dailan can do about it. She is the chief reporter, so she can't say anything based on the company's opinion?"

"……I know."

Mark was silent for a long time before whispering: "My anger is not against her. I also know that she can't do anything... Rather, she is brave enough. She did what an ordinary person can do. The limit reached - the consciousness of exchanging life for the truth.

"What I'm angry about are those three bullets fired from outside the studio... they shattered my last chance.

"——What makes me angry is the fact that some people don't want to give us a way to survive, nor do they want to give us a glimmer of hope."

I'm still adjusting my body, so I'll update it today. If you can’t sleep at night, there will be another update after midnight, but don’t wait~
