Chapter 303 Agitated Wounds
Vanessa and Mary exchanged glances, seemingly unable to comprehend Shi Tian’s action.
Just what kind of context does he want to add in the video aside from a brutal murder occurring?
Seeing their dazed expression, Shi Tian realized these two women might be scheming, but they didn’t understand human emotions much. They were severely lacking such talent, especially Mary, who clearly does not care about strangers much despite being a receptionist.
Her smile was quite fake in the past as well, but because Shi Tian didn’t want to offend her, he merely brushed it off and pretended nothing happened.
“I’m impersonating a member of the White Syndicate, but other than those surviving soldiers and us, who else knows about it?” Shi Tian asked them a question, unwilling to spend a mouthful of saliva explaining his action.
“Right… no one else knows you’re impersonating the White Syndicate,” Vanessa murmured.
They might be slow on the uptake, but they weren’t dumb either. With that singular hint alone, both Mary and Vanessa understood his point.
If they simply post the video without context, then it could easily be misinterpreted as someone daring enough to attack the military during a time of crisis.
However, if they include some context along with the White Syndicate being the culprit, then everything else changes.
To put it simply, it was as if a video was uploaded, showing a young woman snatching an old woman’s food and throwing it into the trash without context.
woman snatching an old woman’s food and throwing it into the trash without context.
Then people would quickly think to themselves that the young woman was bullying the old woman.
But what if there was a context that stated the old woman was eating expired food from the trash can, and the young woman was actually trying to prevent her from getting food poisoning or other sickness by eating it?
This small example alone goes to show just how powerful a context could be in altering people’s perspective when they watch the video.
It might not seem much at first glance, but context is very important to give the watcher a biased perspective before the video even starts playing. That was just how humans’ behavior was and why understanding such knowledge is critical.
“I swear… this Nathan is really like a psychological professor,” Vanessa whispered softly to Mary.
Mary nodded her head in agreement. “It’s not the first time that Nathan has manipulated human emotion to his advantage. Back then, he was able to maneuver the crowd into excitement and go into frantic mode with just a few words of his.”
“The two of you…” Shi Tian smiled bitterly as his hands began typing on the keyboard.
“If you’re going to gossip about someone, can you at least make sure the person isn’t here? Your tone might be low, but I can still hear it.” He added, reminding them that his hearing was exceptional.
“Oh? Is your hearing exceptional? Then how did I always appear behind you and you seemed surprised by it?’ Mary teased.
“Forget I’ve said anything.” Knowing it was a losing argument, Shi Tian decided to focus his attention back on typing a layer of text instead. In his text, he was going to glorify the White Syndicate while condemning the military.
Of course, he was not going to paint the White Syndicate as a hero, but he was making the people watching doubt the conduct of the military. Such as why was there an elite platoon all the way away from the Gilaso variants’ monster wave.
What was their goal?
Why were they there in the first place?
And most importantly, how did the White Syndicate’s action play a part in creating this scenario?
Just what kind of secret operation was their honorable Commander Theobold doing?
All of these would be the questions that people would come up with once they watched the video. After all, the Darknet might sound dangerous, but people tend to enjoy the thrill and risks of browsing it.
Hence, even though the majority are criminals, there are notably common people or other people who still abide by the laws and are interested in the content.
‘Oh Theobold, you should have just stayed put in your position. Why did you have to force my hand?’ Shi Tian exclaimed inwardly. He won’t offend others, but that doesn’t mean he is afraid of trouble.
In fact, it was quite the opposite. With his personality, he wouldn’t be called Shi Tian if he was willing to let his enemy scot-free. And that was especially true for the people that had treated him as a lab rat.
He might not have a clue now, but once he latched onto a single hint, Shi Tian would never let it go until he got to the bottom of it.
“Why do I feel an ominous pressure coming from Nathan?” Vanessa felt her body trembling slightly. She turned to look at Mary, who was seemingly in a daze as well.
“I think we’re kind of witnessing the real personality of Nathan,” Mary muttered. Even she was somewhat horrified by the glooming and menacing aura emitting from him.
Vanessa nodded her head, agreeing to Mary’s statement wholeheartedly. “I knew there was always something wrong with his smile. It was as if his smile was not genuine, but a sinister one.”
As the two continued to whisper among each other, Shi Tian felt as if his body was being shot by more bullets. And these bullets were even more painful than the ones fired by the elite soldiers from Theobold.
“Um, never mind, I’m actually bleeding.” Shi Tian suddenly murmured, realizing it was really his wounds that had been agitated and were bleeding.
How unconventional was that, especially the timing of the wounds starting to bleed again?
The bleeding was quite a lot, and Mary instantly noticed he was injured.
“You have been shot, Nathan?” Mary asked in an alarmed tone.
“Yeah, those elite soldiers weren’t easy to deal with. I was riddled with bullets.” Shi Tian smiled bitterly and said.
Originally, he didn’t plan on revealing his injuries, but with his body leaking so much blood, there was no way he could have kept it a secret.
