The red moon returns

Chapter 509 Who is in favor and who is against

It was almost midnight, but the front of the Medea Hotel suddenly became lively.

Reporters from major newspapers swarmed in, hundreds of people surrounded the hotel, the sound of spotlights bursting one after another, and the flashing lights made the night sky sparkle.

It is said that something big has happened.

However, the reporters were blocked outside the hotel and could not get any information no matter what.

But the more this happened, the more they refused to give up. A large group of people guarded every entrance and exit of the hotel, just waiting for the things inside to be over. They could get some clues from the subsequent changes.

It is enough to see a little bit, and the rest can be made up at will. It depends on which newspaper makes the most reasonable one.

At this moment, Lin Qi, who was being waited for by many reporters, was standing in the conference room prepared by Her Royal Highness the Princess. He was the focus of everyone's attention and his mind was full of questions.

How come I, a knight passing by, was pushed to the forefront?
But the princess had already made up her mind, so he had to express his opinion in person and debate with the crowd. Lynch had no choice but to stand in front of everyone.

The story began with an impromptu decision he made half an hour ago.

The death-threatening question just now did not send Lin Qi away, but the two girls' united front seemed to be more solid, and they had a strong momentum to unite against the outside world. But when you talk about uniting against the outside world, can you not look at me and grit your teeth? You are not from Tindalos, so don't make such threats.

Lin Qi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and followed the crowd into the meeting room prepared by Her Royal Highness the Princess.

He actually wanted to leave here, and he had no interest in what happened next.

Anyway, although the purpose of coming here today was not achieved and I failed to lure out the gods behind the Shadow Alliance, I successfully crushed the Shadow Alliance's next conspiracy, so it can be said that the trip was worthwhile.

Now he didn't really want to carry a nuclear bomb around with him. He just wanted to go back to the Church of Night and wait for Archbishop Trilles to return to discuss the issue of the Light of Miracle. Unfortunately, as the key person tonight, he couldn't stay out of it and had to participate in the whole process.

If he were still just a commoner, he could certainly leave whenever he wanted, but now he has stepped into the upper class circle and has lost his willful position.

There is no benefit in the world that comes out of thin air. When you gain something, you will inevitably lose something. When he gains the corresponding invisible benefits such as fame, status, respect and preferential treatment, he must also bear the corresponding responsibilities and obligations.

What happened tonight concerns the reputation of Rand and Friedman, and has also attracted the attention of major churches. His willful behavior has hurt Rand's reputation, and will also invisibly hurt many people who are optimistic about him and bet on him. He now represents no longer just himself, but the interests of more and more people.

This is the price of moving up, and no one is exempt.

The meeting was actually very simple. The princess, the prince and Lynch joined together to talk nonsense. No, they talked about their experiences tonight and let what happened tonight be determined on the spot without the possibility of reversal.

Therefore, various details need to be added to make the incident completely reasonable. For example, why did the princess suddenly visit tonight, why was the other party able to discover the little prince, why was Lynch able to realize that someone was plotting something bad, and all kinds of strange questions. Although the people asking the questions have no ill intentions and are purely for the purpose of investigating the truth of tonight's incident, many questions are quite troublesome to answer, especially without collusion, it is difficult to hide secrets.

Fortunately, Her Royal Highness the Princess calmly told Lin Qi to leave all the stories that were inconvenient to write to her, and he only needed to be responsible for writing his own stories.

There is such a good thing? That would be much easier.

So, Lynch calmly followed the princess and the prince into the venue, stood under the bright light of the gas lamp, and learned how to talk nonsense seriously.

One wanted to cover up the fact that she was a fake princess, and the other did not want to reveal the privacy of the Friedman royal family. So the two royal members showed extremely exquisite tacit cooperation without any communication and made the matter perfect.

The princess came to care about her cousin. The two sides had actually agreed on a time, but the princess came early and happened to discover the murderer's plot. As for the reason for coming early, of course, she came early because she heard that Sir Leviev appeared in the hotel half an hour ago and wandered around.

Well, the watery look the princess gave Sir Leviev fully explained the rationality of this reason. Thinking about what happened at the previous ball, no one doubted it anymore. Everyone even looked back at the other two ladies and smiled subtly. The next stage was handed over to Lynch.

Lynch has decided to tell the truth and just keep the little prince's commission a secret.

The reason for discovering the other party was that he had heard Dr. Sven mention the sound of insect wings in the memories of the strange things, and knew that this sound might be related to a mysterious alien. Anyway, the other party was in the ancient continent, and there was no evidence, so he could make up whatever he wanted.

If you don’t believe me, go and ask me in person. If you can tell me the answer, I lose.

As for why the aliens were linked to the Shadow Alliance at the first opportunity, the reason was that the Shadow Alliance had cooperated with the aliens many times before, including the Deep Ones and the Ghouls. It would be strange not to associate him with them.

Yes, Lynch made a temporary decision to announce his feud with the Shadow Alliance directly to the world, except for some sensitive parts.

Since you have been plotting against me again and again, but you are trying to take advantage of me, don't blame me for overturning the table and exposing your conspiracy in public.

It wasn't entirely a spur-of-the-moment decision; he had weighed the pros and cons over and over again.

The feud between him and the Shadow Alliance had actually been indirectly spread with the help of Ms. Nightingale.

The Shadow Alliance's desire to create a plague, an anti-human act, is no longer a secret to many high-ranking figures in the church, but it has not yet become popular among ordinary people.

What he intended to do was to take advantage of this opportunity to let ordinary people know about the Shadow Alliance organization and confirm their anti-human behavior of spreading the plague and provoking war.

It is far from enough to achieve this goal by just speaking at the meeting. This is still only known to the church and the top leaders of various countries, and it cannot achieve the goal of nailing the Shadow Alliance to the pillar of shame. Therefore, after Lynch finished his speech, he put forward an opinion that shocked the audience.

Immediately hold a second press conference hosted by Rand officials to announce everything that happened tonight as appropriate and let the whole world know as quickly as possible.

This is Lynch's counterattack.

Coming from an era when public opinion dissemination is highly developed, he understands the power of public opinion better than most people of this era.

As long as they make the inside information public with a unified voice, characterize everything first, and confirm the anti-human behavior of the Shadow Alliance, then any organization that wants to cooperate with them in the future, whether it is official or a secret society, must think twice. After all, they are not as mysterious as the Shadow Alliance, and must consider the consequences once the cooperation is exposed.

He wanted to cut off the tentacles of the Shadow Alliance as much as possible and make it difficult for them to move forward.

"Ladies and gentlemen, wake up! We have entered the steam age. We must face up to the power of the media and stop fearing it as we fear evil gods."

"The power of the media is a double-edged sword. It can hurt us, but it is equally sharp against our enemies. In this new era, we must learn to use their power to serve us. Only in this way can we be invincible."

"We don't need to worry about the secret leaking to ordinary people. We can unify our statements and erase the mysterious parts to make it more acceptable to the public. We also don't need the media to over-exaggerate and distort our original intentions. When we release information in a unified manner, each media outlet can verify each other, and they will not dare to spread rumors wantonly."

"There's no need to worry about the fact that there's no precedent. We at Rhine have organized a press conference before, and it was a huge success. This is a precedent, and it proves that it's feasible to use public opinion."

"So I suggest that we hold a second Rand Kingdom press conference immediately to selectively announce tonight's events in an official manner."

"After I finish speaking, who is in favor and who is against?"
