The Shinra employee looked at the stick that Sonon was holding over his head with trepidation. Although his superior always told him to give everything for Shinra, not to succumb to violence and to carry forward Shinra's fearless spirit, the superior who said this was already lying on the floor of the live broadcast control room with a hole as big as a bowl on his head.
"Thank you for giving me the job, but I want to live." The Shinra employee said silently in his heart. Although he knew very well that the things he was asked to play would definitely have an impact on Shinra, he did not want to die yet.
After plugging the recorder handed to him by Sonon into the socket, the Shinra employee began to import the audio into the computer.
The audio file was not large and was uploaded quickly, but the Shinra employee hesitated again and was reluctant to press the button to confirm playback.
Just as Sonon was getting a little impatient, the Shinra employee took a deep breath and pressed the button.
The next second, the live broadcast of the entire Midgar went black, and then began to play the conversation between the Shinra executives in the conference room...
"What's going on? What's happening?" In the operations office, when Heidegger saw the live broadcast was cut off, he flew into a rage, grabbed the soldier in front of him and yelled at him.
"I... I'm not sure either, Minister Heidegger. Maybe... maybe the signal is bad, or there's a problem in the control room." The poor soldier had saliva sprayed all over his face, but he didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe it off. He spoke tremblingly about his possible guess.
"Then take someone to the control room for me, and then send someone..." Before Heidegger could finish his words, he heard a familiar conversation coming from the black screen.
"…Informants report…Most of the people involved in Avalanche are hiding in Block 7…"
"The 7th Block is very large, and we can't find their exact location..."
"…What should I do…"
"It's very simple. No matter where they hide, just send people to kill everyone in Block 7, just like we did in Wutai..."
Heard this, and Heidegger was completely stunned. Their meeting conversation was actually recorded.
But he didn't have time to think about who did it. He immediately yelled at the captured soldier: "Whatever you do, cut off the power supply to the control room of the live broadcast room."
It doesn't matter if his words are leaked, but President Shinra's words must never be leaked, otherwise no one can bear the responsibility.
"Minister...the power supply of the control room is independent..." the soldier said in panic.
"It's over!" Heidegger's eyes went dark for a moment, and then he heard the voice of Shinra's president:
"...Tear down the pillars of the seventh area...let the disc fall down...we can then claim that it was an avalanche that did it..."
…
"...Tear down the pillars of the seventh area...let the disc fall down...we can then claim that it was an avalanche that did it..."
When the voice of the Shinra president was broadcast throughout Midgar via live broadcast, all the residents of Midgar who were watching the live broadcast were shocked.
"…It turned out to be…it turned out to be an order from President Shinra…"
"In order to eliminate the avalanche, they actually wanted to sacrifice the lives of an entire slum."
"We were deceived. We were all deceived. The avalanche did not want to destroy the Seventh District Pillar, but wanted to... protect the Seventh District Pillar."
Everyone who was watching the live broadcast heard similar discussions, and then more people joined in the discussion. As the voices gathered together, they turned into a sound wave like a tsunami.
In the seventh district, the controlled poor people were already enraged, and they began to attack the blockade set up by the Shinra soldiers at all costs. Although they were suppressed by the Shinra soldiers' gunfire, as more and more people gathered, the Shinra soldiers, who were outnumbered, could no longer hold their line.
"I never thought that Scarlet would do this for Shen."
"She really went out of her way to help Shen!"
Not far from the street where the conflict broke out, Aerith and Tifa, who was holding Marlene, looked at the angry crowd and sighed.
Although no one told them who did it, they both thought of Scarlet. After all, as a high-ranking member of Shinra, only Scarlet had the ability to obtain the meeting recording.
"Shen will definitely be grateful to her for doing this." Aerith said again.
"I think I'm touched..." Tifa corrected Aerith, then sighed, "I feel a sense of crisis!"
…
On the top platform of the pillar of the seventh zone, Shen Ye put away his revolver as he watched the evacuating armed helicopter.
The battle to defend the pillar is over.
"Thank you, Scarlet." Not only Aerith and Tifa, Shen Ye naturally guessed who got the recording.
In fact, just as Aerith and Tifa said, Shen Ye is not only grateful now, but more moved, moved by what Scarlet has done for him.
Suddenly, Shen Ye had the urge to meet Scarlet, but he quickly suppressed it because now was not the time to look for Scarlet.
"Let's go." With a slight sigh, Shen Ye said to Jessie beside him.
"Yeah!" Jessie nodded.
Shen Ye and Jessie were the last to leave the platform at the top of the pillar.
Because he was worried about his daughter's safety, Barret left immediately after the helicopter left. Cloud also left with him. This guy served as Barret's thug along the way.
However, when he was about to go down, Shen Ye seemed to sense something and looked back at the Shinra Building. Even though they were far away, he still saw Sephiroth standing at the top of the building... and Whispers surrounding him.
Not sure if it was an illusion or something, but Shen Ye actually saw Sephiroth nodded to him, as if approving of him.
But when Shen Ye looked over carefully, Sephiroth was no longer on the top of the building.
"Shen, what are you looking at?" Jessie asked puzzledly when he saw Shen Ye stop and look back.
Shen Ye retracted his gaze, chuckled, rubbed her head, and said, "It's nothing, let's continue."
Jessie frowned, but did not continue asking. Then he put on a smile, unbuttoned his breastplate as he walked, then hugged Shen Ye's arm with a smile, and said playfully:
"It's just a small benefit, not a sign of respect!"
"Yeah, it's really small." Feeling the softness on his arm, Shen Ye said with a double meaning.
"Hmph!" Jessie snorted, but tried hard to straighten her chest, as if she wanted Shen Ye to truly feel the grandeur of her chest.
