Chapter 817: Chapter 815: All Villains

As an old Audience of the "Black Sand" series, Song Lan decided to give the other party some face.

After all, causing someone to lose their life on the first meeting was not something a good movie fan would do.

"...Wait, aren’t you guys together?"

It was only after fleeing to a deserted alley that Troy finally realized something and asked.

He certainly recognized who the person that jumped from the armored floating car was, and he knew what would happen if he fell into their hands, but from the indiscriminate shooting earlier, it was clear that "Black Sand" intended to take out the unwelcomed guest alongside him.

If it weren’t for the unknown ability of the other party, they would probably both be lying in a pool of blood by now.

Seeing that Song Lan didn’t speak, Troy said, "If you’re going to kill me, do it quickly. I guess my warrants are all over the net by now."

Song Lan felt the arrival of "Black Sand" was just like an O’ Henry novel, unexpected yet reasonable.

Dr. Bai Zhu explicitly mentioned that Troy’s hacking skills were subpar, amateur at best, meaning that aside from Bai Zhu, Kolo Film Industry’s cybersecurity department could locate his residence through the IP.

In the past, their targets were obscure third-rate celebrities whose deaths were mostly treated as accidents, but now, they had not only killed Mikaela but also threatened the safety of the founder of Kolo Film Industry, which meant the company would undoubtedly not allow them to continue any further.

Even though Troy had just escaped, it might not be long before he fell into the company’s hands.

The streets and alleys of the Fourth District were full of cameras, and the "Skynet" system was sufficient to make anyone targeted by the company unable to hide. Clearly, Troy realized this too, and he said, "Take this, there might be answers you want inside."

Rather than let these things fall into the company’s hands, it was better to hand them over to this strange person whose origins were unclear.

He had just proven that he could escape from the Five Stars rescuer "Black Sand."

The item Troy handed over was a storage chip.

When fleeing the apartment, Song Lan noticed that Troy desperately rescued the chip from his backpack.

With curiosity, Song Lan took the chip back to Sean Grant’s villa.

Returning to the guest room, he turned off the light, took out his laptop, and sat cross-legged on the bed—a posture he often assumed when he stayed in to watch movies at home.

The chip contained hundreds of videos of varying lengths, and Song Lan quickly found a familiar name in the naming of the videos.

"Black Sand."

All movies in the "Black Sand" series mostly used "the Outside" as their main background, and it was said that "Black Sand" himself was a member of the United Government’s external department before signing on with Kolo Film Industry, and after his retirement from the army, he became an actor. Many scenes in the movies were adapted from his real missions in "the Outside."

In the films, "Black Sand" time and again fought against those Rebel Army officers trying to overturn the United Government and destroy the whole world, spreading the just image of the United Government to every corner of "the Outside."

However, the scenes presented in these short videos told a completely different story.

The background of the videos was a remote village in "the Outside," surrounded by yellow sand, a poor and isolated place. The protagonist of the videos, "Black Sand," however, shed the calm and experienced image from the films. He was excited, possibly because he had gathered all the old people and children of the village into a massive cage.

From their conversation, it was revealed that he suspected these villagers had connections with the Rebel Army.

Then, this superhero excitedly shouted "barbecue time" and used the flame thrower equipped on his exoskeleton armor to burn the cage and the people inside to ashes.

There were many similar videos, all set in unknown villages of "the Outside." "Black Sand" indeed had carried out many special tasks there, and "barbecue time" had almost become his trademark execution method.

Song Lan didn’t know where Troy had found these videos, but he knew that after watching a few of them, the demonic "barbecue time" had rooted in his mind.

For the sake of his mental and emotional health, he decided not to continue watching.

Aside from "Black Sand," several other national-level rescuers, well-known to Song Lan, were also mentioned in the video titles.

The matter suddenly became more complicated.

Find the villain, understand the villain, kill the villain. Song Lan had thought reality would be as straightforward as Kolo Film Industry’s movies, but now he was suddenly informed that outside the villa were all villains, with not a single good person to be found, and they were already surrounded by the villains.

Harboring illusions, Song Lan sent these videos to Dr. Bai Zhu, hoping to get feedback from her that "these videos are fakes."

But half an hour later, Bai Zhu brought him the disappointing news.

The videos showed no signs of being synthesized, and she also found out that the part about "Black Sand" was filmed at his request by his peers when he was still working in the United Government’s external department. "Barbecue time" was his way of relaxing and having fun.

"Black Sand" seemed to be very keen on watching the process of human bodies being incinerated by high temperatures.

Someone had once tried to expose his acts in "the Outside," but the videos were quickly suppressed by Kolo Film Industry, and the whistleblower admitted online that he had faked the videos for attention, before disappearing forever from the public eye.

Bai Zhu thought this was not hard to explain.

For instance, he could have been coerced into publishing the apology, and then was silenced after making the statement.

"That’s the usual tactic of the company and the Family."

"I know."

Song Lan was noncommittal, as he himself had experienced the Foster Family’s prepared funeral service, and the staff member was none other than everyone’s friend, Mr. Dorago Safron.

Leave a letter denouncing Lu Xiang, then die in his apartment.

By then, no matter what Lu Xiang did, it would probably be impossible for him to prove his innocence.

At the time, Song Lan felt that making false accusations against someone’s character was morally wrong, so he criticized the misguided Dorago, then let him take a bath in the artificial lake to reflect on his actions thoroughly.

The criticism worked; at least since then, Mr. Dorago had never made any unfounded accusations against anyone ever again.

"Maybe, the founder of Kolo Film Industry isn’t worth your protection either."

Moments later, Bai Zhu said on the other end of the phone. Then, she suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, your favorite ’Black Sand’ is now heading towards your villa. Kolo Film Industry has handed this over to him to handle. If nothing goes wrong, his targets this time are Grella and all of you."
