greek gods in new york

08

The god of new media will end in person, and this matter is destined not to end easily.

After the game, I stayed in the hotel and checked social media for a day, and witnessed the birth of a storm of public opinion.

The first is an anonymous report, saying that "something went wrong" in this year's quiz for middle school students, and vowed that the video and results of this competition on the east coast will not be released.

As a result, the next morning, the news was released that there was a procedural problem in our game, and the score had to be recalculated.

Then, an insider came out from nowhere, saying that the judges of this competition persecuted foreign students.

In order to increase credibility, the "insider" even released a video.

The video lasted only 2 minutes, and the judges in the screen looked contemptuous and contemptuous. First, they subtly dismissed the contestant as coming from a community middle school, and then bluntly said "he is not even an immigrant".

This video immediately exploded users on the Internet.

"Is the knowledge contest a toy for the second generation of the rich and the second generation of officials to brush their resumes?" There are also questions such as whether they will be more humiliated if they are a minority.

I was appalled by these remarks.

Among other things, even I understand why the judges who sang bad faces said this: it is nothing more than to suppress first and then raise for the effect of the program.

He looked down on him at the beginning, and then Rocky gave a beautiful speech, and then he was convinced and then apologized and agreed and scored high. Isn't this a happy plot for everyone?

But Loki just doesn't.

His provocative speech was destined to prevent people outside the scene from getting the whole truth.

In a short period of time, discussions on the Internet have risen to the level of conspiracy theories that knowledge contests favor elite schools, and black hands rule the American education industry behind the scenes.

I can be regarded as having seen what the essence of the new gods mixed with Loki are.

It's no wonder that in the 21st century, he is like a fish in water in the world, creating lies, chaos, and getting fun from it, but Loki has done his old job for who knows how many years.

Overnight, Changjie Middle School suddenly gained many "supporters".

The school's few histories have been turned upside down, but any famous student who helped the old lady cross the road to get rewards must be given a special commendation. The six of us participated in the knowledge contest on behalf of the school and entered the scene in Los Angeles. We became "civilians" Student Light".

During the period, the contestants also tried to publicize the crisis, but under the premise of exploding public opinion, who can play the god of new media?

Now the competition is riding a tiger.

I can all imagine the future:

Although no one understood what happened to the three judges at the time, they would give high marks to the speech of "Kainus Uld".

But the end result is that we won.

In other words, if there is a problem with the judgment of the game, a rematch is required, or the opponent is judged to have won, the knowledge contest will undoubtedly be labeled as "partial" and "discriminatory".

What follows is even more exaggerated.

I feel dizzy at the thought of getting a lot of undeserved attention in the future.

The next night, the atmosphere at the dinner table was very strange.

Meryl was so angry that she didn't come to the dinner at all.Hermes was afraid of affecting the mentality of the game, so he took the other two students to accompany her and guide her.

It was only me, Pandora, and Loki who had no sense of causing trouble to eat together tonight.

"What do you want, Loki?"

Pandora was also very angry: "Who and which link dissatisfied you?"

Loki spread his hands: "I'm very satisfied."

Pandora: "Artemis questioning you makes you unhappy."

Loki snorted: "Do I look so glass-hearted?"

Pandora: "So the judge's bad face hurt you?"

Loki: "Please, have you read Norse mythology?"

I understand what Loki means. There is no racial discrimination in Norse mythology, but there is "Rocky discrimination", which is completely aimed at Loki alone.

He doesn't care about discrimination or not.

Then there is only one answer.

"Don't ask, Pandora," I sighed, "he just wants to make trouble."

"right."

Loki suddenly smiled.

He looked at me moved, his eyes were affectionate and sincere: "Nicole still understands me."

As he spoke, he lazily picked up a piece of French fries.

"Not everything in this world needs a clear cause and process," Loki said, "Pandora, you are too serious, why do you have to give an answer? The answer is that I want to do this."

"Honestly, how boring is it compared to the end of the game? Whether it's Artemis, the judges who sing bad faces, or even the speech topics that are randomly selected, they just give me a chance to show off."

Loki waved the chips in the air primly, using the fries as a baton.

"Listen, that chaotic movement."

He put on an aria-like tone: "How wonderful?"

Pandora directly clenched her fists: "Damn it, Nicole, I really want to beat him..."

"Don't don't don't."

I hurriedly advised Pandora: "Even if you want to fight, wait until the game is over. Don't destroy the harmony of the team!"

Loki: "My dear Nicole, it breaks my heart when you say that. I just—"

Pandora: "I can't eat anymore, I'll accompany Meimei."

After she finished speaking, she gave Loki an unceremonious glance, and quickly took away the packed hamburger and Coke.

For a while, only Rocky and I were left in the fast food restaurant.

Me: "...I don't think you are suitable for playing love games, Rocky."

Loki: "Huh?"

Me: "In the game, if you brush the team friendship to full and then drop it back to zero, there is no chance to increase it back."

Loki smiled when he heard this.

He propped his chin and tilted his head.

"If we were in a love game," Loki said with a smile, "the main character of the game should be you, Nicole."

Pull it down.

If it's a love game, you'll block my peach blossoms by appearing out of nowhere!

"What if the contestant doesn't make concessions?" I was a little nervous.

"No," Loki said confidently, "If they don't budge, the judges' underpants will be ripped out by righteous passers-by."

"..."

Don't you have any sense of guilt?

To be honest, I was a little bit annoyed too.

Rocky can be said to both slander a person and mislead innocent netizens, just for his own amusement.

This made me feel that I was also on the side of "Internet violence" and became a bad person.

But what happened was that, whether it was a shocking speech or using public opinion, he was not lying in any place.

Was there a mistake in that speech?My godfather is the Heavenly Father in the religion of the Aztec Empire, and I know that everything Loki said is true.

If the contestants dare not broadcast, that is the contestant's problem.

The judges' remarks released were not falsified, nor were they even taken out of context.

Even if he intends to suppress something before raising it, if he said it himself, he has to bear the responsibility.

"Nicole."

Loki is just Loki. Not only did he not feel guilty, but he also put on a gesture of teaching me: "Are you thinking that you clearly think that I did something wrong, but you don't know what's wrong? Think about it carefully, I seem to be Didn't do too many excessive things, but I don't know why I don't think it's excessive?"

I didn't speak.

"Let me tell you the answer."

The fast food restaurant is full of people coming and going, lively and lively.

Even though Rocky leaned back in an extremely exaggerated posture, learning to open his arms at the competition scene.

"Because I didn't say a word wrong."

Loki smiled.

"Since then, I haven't said a single word wrong," he said, "It's just that the gods of the past, or the humans of today, they don't want to hear it."

"Don't worry, the contestants will give in, because they won't release the video of the speech - once it is released, there will be a new storm of public opinion, and the focus of the knowledge competition will be completely shifted, which is not fair to other teams.

"They will choose to conceal it to the end, and then pretend that nothing happened. Thousands of things have happened on this land, and what humans are best at is whitewashing the peace.

"Oh, of course."

Finally he blinked and added earnestly, "I'm not targeting America, I mean, the planet."

You get it, Loki is a total pleasure criminal and nihilist.

If you can't reason with him, this guy will always have a lot of fallacies waiting for you.

"Okay."

At the end, he comforted me earnestly: "I promise you that similar things will not happen again. Besides, it doesn't matter if you are eliminated. Now you don't particularly need an admission letter from the Ivy League, do you?"

"You're changing the subject." I pointed it out.

"Yes, I was just changing the subject."

Loki admitted frankly: "Then have you thought about your future path?"

Damn, I admit that he was very successful in changing the subject.

The road of the future does not only refer to my road.

Taking it seriously now is also because I let the efforts of myself and my friends go to waste.

The next dinner was tasteless.

When I left the fast food restaurant, I was still thinking about "the road to the future".

The god of new media is happy to make troubles, and has not yet notified me of the appearance of "that thing".What if he appeared again?

I walked side by side with Loki on the street, and the more I thought about it, the more I lost my mind: If I meet him again, I—

Before the short thoughts came to an end, there was a sudden commotion in my satchel.

"Did you feel it?" Loki said suddenly

"Um?!"

When I stopped, I came back to my senses and realized that it was BB who was crying.

He opened the satchel, and the BB he was carrying with him turned into a fetus, and the petri dish glowed warm yellow.

And around...

Before I lost my mind, we were obviously still on the street with people coming and going.

But when I came back to my senses, I was surrounded by only Loki, and the streets were empty.

"'That thing' was found," Loki whispered. "It's not good."

"What, what?" I couldn't help but get nervous.

"Well."

Loki rubbed his chin with his right knuckles: "The divine power I borrowed is almost exhausted."

Me: "...Why didn't you say it earlier?!"

Loki: "I didn't expect to meet him so soon."

and--

In the dead silent street, I could clearly feel that the energy of "that thing" was getting stronger and stronger, and in its unique power fluctuations, it was also mixed with...

I turned my head and gently sniffed the "sticky" air.

"You'd better figure it out."

I took a deep breath and said to Loki, "No matter why he drove me away last time, I feel like 'that thing' is angry."
