Chapter 378 Exposure
The next day.
Punishment Record dropped some bombshell news!
It was a video.
But the way this video was put together was downright chilling!
It was made up of countless different camera angles!
In the video.
A foreigner was seen meeting contacts at three different Wavehaven train stations, then returning to a secret office to assemble a device from three components he had obtained! Four hours later, he handed the machine over to another foreign worker!
Thirty minutes before their meeting, this worker had left a bridge repair company!
Before leaving the company, the worker received a text message: $2 million received!
The next day, this bridge worker adjusted his schedule to specifically visit the Steelgate Bridge in Wavehaven to inspect the structure underneath!
At that moment, a cargo ship passed by!
The camera on the ship clearly captured the worker installing a small device under the bridge, then sneaking away!
The following day, at exactly 12 noon, the device's indicator light started flashing!
Then, the bridge collapsed!
Seeing this, the online community was inexplicably horrified!
Words popped into their heads!
All-seeing eye!
God's perspective!
Super hacker!
This two-minute video had used at least a hundred surveillance cameras!
And each one perfectly captured the crucial moments!
Moreover, the key figures in the video were initially hidden among ordinary people!
Either the video creator could predict the future!
Or they had meticulously sifted through all of Wavehaven's surveillance footage!
It was terrifying to think about!
Under such surveillance, modern people who can't live without the internet have no secrets left!
Punisher's surveillance methods were terrifying!
Not just the major international cyborg organizations, but even ordinary people felt a chill in their hearts!
Immediately, Punishment Record's official statement came out: "No need to panic, Punisher's methods are only used to punish the wicked!"
The video continued!
The person who initially assembled the device was seen walking into BioGen Innovations' branch in Veridiania!
The camera zoomed in, showing his ID badge: BioGen Innovations Technical Department employee, Robin Hall!
Then, Robin's computer was hacked, and an encrypted file was found containing a design for a resonance device!
This device was specifically designed to destroy large structures!
The audience was shocked!
They finally understood the whole story!
Punisher Organization had pieced together the truth of the entire incident from tiny clues!
It was BioGen Innovations behind it all!
However, the next part of the video made them even angrier!
The robbers at Hero Elementary School were hired by BioGen Innovations!
Their weapons came from a group called 'Cobra' in Victoria!
And these robbers were bailed out after being sent back to their country!
Including the sudden explosion of the luggage cart at Wavehaven Airport and the fire on the Celestria-Wavehaven Line tanker, all were pre-arranged by BioGen Innovations!
Everything was staged to highlight their heroes!
BioGen Innovations' heroes would prepare in advance, then an 'accident' would occur, and finally, the heroes would appear to save the civilians!
The public had been kept in the dark!
Now they have finally realized!
All those glorious heroes were carefully crafted!
Millions of netizens were furious, extremely furious!
It was all a conspiracy!
They launched a campaign online, attacking BioGen Innovations' forums and the heroes' homepages!
Various BioGen Innovations hero fan clubs also rose up, turning into protest unions, demanding an explanation from BioGen Innovations!
Many people even left their homes to tear down BioGen Innovations' giant promotional posters, ripping them apart in the streets!
The anger was overwhelming!
Even Meta Platforms Company, which had hired Skywalker as a spokesperson, was innocently dragged into the mess, causing their stock price to plummet!
Jacob was on the verge of tears; he knew Punisher Organization was connected to Creator!
He regretted it deeply!
Paul Three was not to be messed with, not even anything associated with him!
This time, he was in big trouble again!
At the Wavehaven Cybersecurity Bureau, Eric, now the deputy director, was also gritting his teeth as he watched the reports!
BioGen Innovations' actions were infuriating!
A subordinate knocked and entered, "Mr. Winslow, the materials are ready!"
Eric was puzzled, "What materials?"
"About Gemini Stage?"
"They previously broadcast violent content, violating internet regulations!"
"Now they've openly hacked into the city's surveillance network and private computers, which is a serious violation!"
"We need to have a meeting!"
The subordinate placed the materials on Eric's desk.
Eric rubbed his temples and asked, "Are you new here?"
"Yes, I just started 10 days ago!"
The subordinate was puzzled, "Mr. Winslow, are you afraid of provoking the Gemini app giant?"
"No worries, I can report to the headquarters personally!"
"If they retaliate, they can come after me!"
The subordinate was unyielding!
Eric sighed deeply, "Do you know what the director will say if you hand these materials to him?"
"He'll say he didn't see anything!"
"You know... never mind! Do you know who the boss of the Gemini app is?"
"That's a major pillar of Veridiania's network!"
"Besides, those scumbags at BioGen Innovations, this isn't enough for them!"
"I'm still waiting for Punisher Organization's next move!"
"Remember this!"
"We'll strictly punish other cybercriminals!"
"But when it comes to Creator, Gemini app, or Punisher Organization, just pretend you didn't see anything!"
"Got it?"
The subordinate looked confused, "Mr. Winslow, did you take a bribe from them?"
"A bribe?"
Eric exhaled deeply, "You don't understand, do you? Haven't you seen the situation clearly? It's a good thing we have them!"
