Chapter 22 Progress

In late June, the murders of Tianyi disguised as the KKKKK party caused a considerable sensation in Paris. During this sensitive period when the situation in the southern part of Oak County was very chaotic, racial vendetta that had basically been extinct on the earth for many years occurred here frequently, which naturally attracted the close attention of many classes.

Putting aside HL and some other organizations' attitudes and responses to this incident, from the perspective of the people alone, the first murder case before them was the terrifying case of Galas Dadan being murdered and corpsed in public.

This case was done by Tianyi himself, aiming to convey two messages to the public. First, the organization where the murderer or the murderer is located is very bold and cruel enough; second, the organization where the murderer or the murderer is located is pure and extreme racist, and even if the victim has a decent job, a respected social status, a family that needs care, etc., he will still not be merciful.

The proportion of African-American citizens in Oak County is relatively high in Europe. Just these two points are enough to attract the attention of many people and panic of a small number of people.

But this is not enough, because people are very forgetful. Whenever a tragedy occurs, they always repeat the same thing... Politicians come out to deliver speeches, express their positions and opinions, and use the negative factors available in the incident to attack their opponents; commentators and radicals who are keen to increase their popularity also participate and express their opinions; there is a harmonious scene in the mainstream media, and all walks of life express their deep condolences and sympathize with the families of the deceased; then people begin to dig deep into the cause of the incident and interpret the murderer in various self-justified ways; finally, when the energy of the incident is exhausted, everything is as usual, nothing has changed, until the next similar tragedy happens, some people will re-report the old things.

Campus shootings, serial car accidents, high-rise fires, and corpses of mad demons, this world is even more dangerous than imagined. The process after most civil tragedies can be summarized as above. At present, it seems that there is only one way to commit crimes that are strong enough to promote a large number of reform plans in a short period of time, which is to hijack the plane and hit the skyscraper.

Of course, Tianyi does not need that level of influence. He only needs public opinion to put pressure on the police. Just doing the case of Galas Dadan is obviously not enough. However, with Yue Yao's actions after that, that is enough.

The public's view of things, the amount of information they have, and the mentality they hold are different from that of the police. The police will compare the methods of the two cases and analyze whether the murderer is the same person. But the public does not. They only care about the news of dead people being published in the newspaper every day. For five consecutive days, black people were killed and their eyes were smashed.

The media will not focus the report on case reasoning. They just mentioned other white victims and did not mention the previous cases of the serial killer. Instead, they specifically selected some alarmist content to publish them, listed the common points between the Galas case and the mysterious serial killer case, wrote unreliable reasonings, and made a big fuss about the four words of racism. Many tabloids and interview programs like to use uncomfortable topics to attract attention and increase circulation and ratings. Before these bloody tragedies in June were completely solved and the murderers were brought to justice, these unscrupulous journalists would work tirelessly and do their best to hype such reports as hot as possible.

The media in this world have long lost the professional ethics that news practitioners should have. They only do two things. The first thing is to carry out correct "public opinion guidance" under the instruction of the empire, such as broadcasting some news that "people around the world welcome the rise in oil prices". I believe that as long as they are normal humans, after seeing such reports, they will have strong doubts about the credibility of the media and the IQ of relevant practitioners.

The second thing is to use everything to release the most eye-catching news, driven by commercial interests. War, violence, sex, all negative news related to celebrities... This is the news that journalists pursue and can increase sales.

Murder cases are violence; racism is selling points; the police do not announce the progress of the investigation, but are covering up some truth; the police announce the progress of the investigation, but want to cover up the truth... Anyway, there is always something to write.

As long as the murderer is not arrested for a day, the Paris police are like being roasted on fire every minute and every second. What's more, the murderer, or the so-called Klan Klan, is not only not arrested, but is also continuing to commit crimes.

June 29, Dolphin Hotel, Room 908.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Tianyi opened his eyes, sat up from the bed, and looked at the sofa chair on his right hand with sleepy eyes.

At this moment, there was a person sitting on the sofa chair, flipping through a paper novel.

"You have an e-book reader in your room, but you would rather buy a stack of 13 ounces of paper that is bound together to read it." Gu Ling said: "In addition to various publications published on schedule, the printing volume of various novels, textbooks, and even reference books is decreasing sharply every year. Electronicization is the future trend, but you seem to be a very nostalgic person."

Tianyi replied: "Now people are becoming more and more accustomed to turning information into data on computers. For children these days, diaries are things written on the Internet to share with others, rather than booklets locked in drawers. Adults save photos, videos, work materials, etc., all things that need to be saved into hard drives. Replacing traditional recording methods with convenient electronic products has become common sense.

You should know that habits are terrible. Habits can easily become dependence. Reliance is like a fatal disease that may ruin yourself at any time. When the things you rely on are unreliable, do not work as usual, and even start to fight against you, you will be at a loss, fall into a passive position, and be slaughtered."

"Are you worried that e-book readers will learn the knowledge in the book to produce artificial intelligence, achieve self-deformation, and then use a metal detector to penetrate your eyeball and suck your brain dry?" Gu Ling asked.

"I didn't expect you would joke too?" Tian Yi smiled.

"Do you know me very well?" Gu Ling said: "Why can't I just joke?"

Tianyi did not answer and said instead: "I won't ask you how you entered this room. Anyway, you have a solution... Can you tell me what your purpose is?"

"Just come and see your progress." Gu Ling pointed to the laptop on the desk and said sarcastically again: "From the virtual model you built in that electronic product, you seem to have done a lot of homework, but you just don't know how you are going to start."

Tianyi looked at Gu Ling with a strange look for a few seconds, and then burst into laughter. Only he knew what this laugh meant.

After laughing for a while, he sighed and said, "On the evening of July 2, before midnight, I will go and take out the Scarlet Pandora. You said a meeting place, and I will hand it over to you immediately after I have picked up the things. At that time, if you are interested, I can explain the process of stealing."

"That's it..." Gu Ling didn't think about it for too long: "Then it's midnight, the Arc de Triomphe is ready."

"Above?" Tianyi said: "You mean...top?"

"You can't climb up?" Gu Ling asked.

"Ha...hehe..." Tianyi smiled again: "See you next night."
