v4 Chapter 9: Public opinion offensive

"Rainy Night Murderer"

"Renas' Nightmare"

"Ghost of the Night"

......

After Donald and Lilo each destroyed another family, Reina's public opinion changed drastically overnight. The news agency, which had an ambiguous attitude, almost sided with the government and stood on the moral high ground. Position to judge Donald, the "bloody butcher" and "inhuman beast".

"Donald, you're famous, albeit a bad one..."

Sitting next to the kettle, Stephanie was using scissors to cut the smeared reports about Donald in the newspapers, crumpling the cut pieces of paper into a ball, and finally stuffing them into a small coal stove next to them and turning them into ashes.

"Oh, I was talking to Anthony about this when I went out last night, but I didn't expect it to come true today."

There was no anxiety on Donald's face because his purpose was deliberately misinterpreted and smeared. This was something he had long expected. Previously, the self-limitation in the Raphael family only killed the first evil and spared most of the servants and guards. In order to be able to deal with this situation.

The palm of the hand was placed on Finger's neck, and the thumb rubbed against the wind chime's forehead, causing it to purr continuously.

"In terms of the news agencies' characteristics of chasing hot spots and being good at creating contradictions, this one-sided reporting means that they must have been imaged at the government level, or to put it bluntly, the Talos family's warning. I still remember the newspaper two days ago. Is there a report on ? At that time, the headlines were mostly ambiguous, because as long as the residents of Reinas... the residents of the ghetto to be exact, almost all had a bad feeling for the families that were destroyed, and they The number of these people determines that these people are the main consumer groups of the news agency, after all, even the rich cannot afford to buy more than a dozen newspapers even if they have enough money."

Donald squinted his eyes, thinking about what he would do next. Since the other party made a move, he had to continue.

"The government interferes with public opinion, they know that you are a black-robed saint?"

Frowning, she stuffed all the newspapers in her hand into the stove, Stephanie was very dissatisfied with the words above.

"No, they should just guess that Renas is a non-belief area. Normally, no religion would choose to preach in such a place, because it is doomed to fail, but my situation is special."

Stretching out his index finger to suppress the flames that suddenly sprang up because he was stuffed with too many newspapers, Donald did not think that the Renas government would consider himself a saint in black robes.

They are more likely to see themselves as a fake, trying to use the slate translation for some ulterior purpose conspiracy.

In a way, they were right.

"Then how are you going to deal with it? If all this kind of news spreads, wouldn't it be a big blow to your reputation?"

Stephanie worried that the news agency's false reporting would completely negate their previous efforts. She had experienced a similar incident in Demingham, when Donald changed Deming in just one night. John's trend of public opinion allowed Anthony, who should have been executed, to survive successfully, and finally became their companion after only a few months of imprisonment.

Because she is well aware of the power of public opinion, she is inevitably somewhat sensitive to what is happening now.

"What if I told you it was a good thing?"

The thumb and forefinger pressed the two ears of the wind chimes, watching them return to their original state after being pressed down, the light in his eyes that represented the activation of agile thinking gradually faded, and a faint smile hung on Donald's face.

"Good thing?"

Stephanie asked with a ridiculous face.

"I'm going to find Victor, Lilo and Julia to watch the house, you come with me and explain to you slowly on the way."

Donald put Finger on the table, got up and said.

Julia, who was doing her homework beside her, made an "OK" gesture, while Lilo glanced at Donald, then turned her head and continued to stare at the two goldfish in the fish tank.

"There is still more than an hour left for lunch. I have to prepare the ingredients. Today, Anthony has a task assigned by the Discord Bureau. I will do the lunch."

Stephanie said, but her body moved quickly. She took Donald's coat and the cane she just bought from the hanger next to her, while she found a lace hat and two umbrellas.

The weather outside was not good, and the rain did not mean to stop at all.

Lead-grey dark clouds accumulated over Reinas, as if to foreshadow the current situation of Reinas.

"If I told you now... Susannah is a bad guy, she's a betrayal, and it was because of her that we were arrested in Lapagad before, would you believe it?"

After walking out a dozen meters, Donald looked at Stephanie who was waiting for him to explain, and asked with a smile.

"This......"

Stephanie's face was hesitant.

"To be honest, do you believe it?"

"If you say it, I believe it!"

For Donald, Stephanie has always had unreserved trust.

"What if someone from the Justice Sect told you? For example, the guard knight in the Inquisition where we were before, do you believe it?"

Donald asked again.

"I doubt it, but probably won't believe it."

"That's it, you don't find it, depending on the source of the message, the person receiving the message reacts differently, I'm the closest person to you, you believe me, so you think what I'm saying is true , and the people at the Lapagad Inquisition tell you the same thing, and you start to wonder."

Raising his hand to help Stephanie sort out the flower decorations on the hat, Donald raised his eyebrows and asked,

"What if the one who told you the news was the Saintess we met in Demingham before?"

"I definitely don't believe this...I see what you mean!"

Stephanie replied subconsciously, and then she seemed to have found something, and looked up at Donald in surprise.

"If you want to blame those people for bullying the people of Demingham too hard, maybe the people in the rich area will believe the news agency's nonsense, but most people in the poor area will only be skeptical about it or simply It's just clapping and applauding, because they don't believe in those news agencies in their hearts, and what we have to do is to turn this idea in their hearts into another angle."

Donald already has an idea in his mind, if this time things can be handled well, not only will it not hurt his reputation, but it can greatly improve his reputation among the vast majority of civilians!

The place where I saw Victor again was in a loft in the slum~lightnovelpub.net~ If you don't come to me, I'm going to look for you. The recent public opinion situation is obviously that the government is targeting you Spreading rumors by taking action is still in this unstoppable way. "

Victor put the newspaper on the table and continued with a heavy tone,

"Although I know some people from the news agency, my intervention at this time is undoubtedly telling the other party that we have something to do with the recent murder case, and we must find a solution from other places."

Stephanie was about to open her mouth to tell Victor what she had just learned from Donald, but suddenly glanced at Donald and stopped talking.

"So what are your thoughts and what can I do to resolve the current crisis?"

Donald suddenly wanted to hear from Victor.

What step can this man think of?

Donald is curious.
