Gundam EXARE

But some people with poor skills can attract a group of audiences as long as they seize the trend and come up with something eye-catching.

That's what popularity is. If only a hundred people stay out of ten thousand who look at you, it's still better than if a hundred people look at you and only a few dozen stay.

In this era, what matters is not whether you have the ability, but whether you can attract attention.

Rey relied on this idea to continuously pass on many eye-catching images to freelance journalists, such as cutting-edge mobile suits, battles, and deaths.

What was displayed on the computer screen at this moment was the death caused by Ray himself. The two Flame Gods pulled by the 105 Dagger not only destroyed the Dagger L, but also swept in many missile vehicles.

Many government soldiers were blown away by the aftermath. The human body is very fragile. If one is unlucky, his neck may be broken or part of his body may be swallowed by the explosion.

This tragic scene is seen by some as a curiosity, but it is also an anti-war symbol that records the reality of the battlefield.

Rei is using the Hundred Scenes of the Battlefield to bring the freelance journalists onto the stage. Why?

Because the world needs an independent media that is not manipulated by the state, so as to break the information cocoon constructed by some countries.

To put it in a broader sense, this is the case. To put it in a smaller sense, Rey is just engaging in media

He doesn't need freelance journalists to become his subordinates, as long as the freelance journalists have great trust in him. This trust will definitely be useful in the future.

For this purpose, Rei even exploited the dead. When a person dies, it is like a light going out, so let them play their final role.

With Ray's support, the website founded by the freelance journalists has now become famous on the world stage, and many events that the freelance journalists once kept secret have been published on this website.

That's right, the moment Ray succeeds in making the website popular, it will inevitably take center stage.

Because the world needs it, the first to target freelance journalists was not the Eurasian Federation, which has many conflicts with the Atlantic Federation, nor the East Asian Republic, which is often targeted by the Atlantic Federation, but PLANT.

PLANT, a country far away in the universe, has long suffered from a media blockade. Take Lacus Clyne, for example. This national singer who is extremely popular in PLANT is not well-known on Earth.

This is the power of the media blockade. Until now, most citizens within the Earth United Forces still do not believe that the Bloody Valentine's Day incident is true.

According to common sense, shouldn't PLANT occupy the moral high ground and launch a public opinion war in this matter?

Unfortunately, a country without a megaphone on Earth will be swallowed up by the vacuum of the universe no matter how loud it shouts.

That's why Rey deliberately supported the freelance journalists. He also had this idea in mind when he deliberately introduced the freelance journalists to the South American rebels through Mirialia.

The moment freelance journalists become famous, they will inevitably be targeted by those with ulterior motives.

Putting aside PLANT, even the countries on Earth took a liking to this independent media that was not controlled by the Atlantic Federation.

As a result, there are more countries that will use various means to protect free journalists.

Ray stopped what he was doing, leaned back in his chair and rubbed his shoulders to relieve the fatigue of working on the mobile suit and then coming back to edit it.

Why did the freelance journalists stand on the side of the South American rebels? Because they believed that the South American rebels were just and would make the country a better place. However:

"Passion alone is not enough."

Rei felt more clearly in his own calculations that his simple sense of justice was commendable, but too simple.

How many freelance journalists realize that they are becoming a sharp sword in the game of state?

"I'm such a bad person."

Ultimately, this was all Rey's fault. He manipulated the situation and got the freelance journalists caught up in it.

"But you also gained a lot, so it can be considered an equal exchange."

Rey smiled and kicked the chair with his right foot, then let the chair spin with the force.

He created a media that attracted the attention and belief of many people, and then what?

Then they can use methods to guide public opinion and manipulate the mainstream.

Rey sees LOGOS as more than just an enemy.

"The whole world is my enemy."

He spoke nonsense like a lunatic, and the rotating chair made people feel that this was a madman who was talking nonsense.

"Ugh, I'm going to throw up."

Rei felt a little nauseous. When he drove his MS, he would not keep turning in one direction for ten or twenty times.

But at this moment, a voice came from the side.

"Gu?!"

The sounds of pain never stopped once they began.

"Uh-huh?!"

Stella, lying on the bed in the infirmary, gritted her teeth and groaned from her throat.

"Tear"

The pair of hands tore the bed sheet apart with just one force, and this action was just the beginning.

Stella struggled in a nightmare, and her fellow creatures, whose faces she could not remember, were approaching her, trying to drag her into death.

The Extended Person, who was supposed to be using special equipment for maintenance, had nightmares about the trauma.

"do not come!"

Stella's flailing right hand hits the bed, making a frightening sound. The man in white in her dream symbolizes death.

These are the discarded waste, the losers eliminated in the fight, and also the same kind that Stella killed with her own hands.

She used her hands, which had undergone surgery and drug transformation, to stab the knife into the other person's heart and cut his throat.

Stella didn't remember the other person's face, she only saw a lot of bleeding holes on his face, because she had also pointed a gun at someone's face and shot them repeatedly.

Now Now

"Hey"

"?!"

"Can you hear me? Hello, hello?"

What Stella saw was not the faceless man with holes all over his face, but her own hand raised forward.

The right hand was in the shape of a claw, as if to break the opponent's neck.

What do you do when you encounter something you fear? Kill it.

"Are you awake?"

Another loud noise came from the side, and Stella's tense body relaxed again. She leaned on the bed, which was slightly deformed by the aftermath of her struggle, and turned her head to look.

At first glance, I couldn't see who the other person was.

Because most of the other person's face was blocked by a loudspeaker.

As Stella saw, Rey was holding a loudspeaker in his hand, and he had just used this loudspeaker to wake Stella up from her nightmare.

What? You mean a gentle awakening?

That woman could even tear the mattress with her hands. Do you think she's gentle? One claw could probably tear someone's skin off.

For safety reasons, Ray felt it was safer to use a loudspeaker. He didn't want to engage in close combat with a person whose body had been absolutely enhanced.

Isn't it just about waking people up? Wouldn't a human voice alarm clock be nice?

Back in the present, Rey moves the speaker away and he raises his hand in greeting.

"Hi."

There was a friendly smile on Rey's face. He really wanted to get some information from Stella. Besides, doctors have to have a good relationship with their patients.

The next moment, the confusion on Stella's face disappeared, and the fierce hostility was released with the movement.

She rolled off the bed and subconsciously touched her calf, but there was no dagger for killing people.

"Who?"

Stella's brief questioning probably didn't contain much to ask, because she took off like a cheetah without any weapons, and wanted to use her seemingly slender arms to kill the person in front of her, who she didn't know.

Unfortunately, Rei noticed this hostility immediately and dodged the ruthless punch by turning sideways.

"I am your doctor, your savior, and your new friend."

Ray pointed his thumbs together at himself and sat down to introduce himself.

"Don't you want to break free from control and take back your life?"

"I do not know you!"

Stella responded to Rey with her fists, and her overly violent behavior made Rey feel that she had expected it.

Palms and wrists touched, and Ray pushed away Stella's fist. He repeated his old trick and said:

"Are you willing to be used to death like this?"

Chapter 190 Stella

The fate of a bio-CPU is always one, and Ray didn't want to see that ending, so he tried to persuade the three bio-CPUs driving the X series in the last war.

At that time, he did everything he could, and finally lost consciousness in the duel with Cruze. No one knows what happened to him afterwards.

Now he used the same method to convince Stella. Even if he failed to save these three people at the beginning, it would not prevent him from continuing to try this time.

Stella, Olga and the other two were greatly shocked when they heard Ray's words.

But she is different from Olga and the other two, and is more sensitive to the word death.

Stella, who was mentally unstable due to the unfamiliar environment, was provoked by the taboo words that belonged to her. She lost all her strength and knelt on the ground.

It was at this moment that Rei saw the child he had just seen in N Short Sword N that morning, the weak, frightened, trembling child.

Stella has two completely different sides. One side is a child that matches her weak appearance, and the other side is an extremely aggressive little lunatic.

Now she turned back into that child, trembling with her head down, tears dripping to the ground with gravity.

“Ah, ahhhh, ahhhhhhhh——”

The whimpering sound like a baby's babbling echoed in the infirmary. Who could have imagined that two seconds ago this girl was planning to take Rei's life?

Rei was also caught off guard by this rapid collapse. It wasn't so simple last time.

He speculated in his mind:

Is it because she is a girl?

Girls are always equated with weakness, so their psychological defenses are also more fragile.

"Why do you act like it's my fault?"

Rei remembered that the last time he made a girl cry was in the third grade.

Although he was good at making girls happy, he had no experience in comforting a girl who was crying.

"Or you can sit on the bed and cry?"

Rei almost wanted to bury his head in the pillow. How on earth could he come up with such a weird statement?

"I mean the bed is a lot softer than the floor."

What on earth is this person talking about?

No no no.

Lei Yi originally thought that it would be better not to say such meaningless words as "don't cry", so he wanted to find some other topics.

But isn't this topic a bit off topic? What should I talk about next? Should I talk about mattress brands?

“I don’t know what brand of mattress it is, but I’m sure it’s much better than the cheap stuff on the market.”

Rei half-crouched down and reached out to Stella.

What am I talking about?

He just complained about himself and got himself into trouble. Does he really want to talk to others about mattresses?

"Come, I'll help you to the bed."

It doesn't matter what you do! Anyway, go to the bed and check if there is a brand label on the mattress!

Lei Yi really didn't know what brand all the mattresses on this ship were. Wouldn't everyone be curious? Wouldn't they wonder which brand was so good that it was certified by the military?

"You're curious too, right? Under the harsh demands of military service, those manufacturers pursued their renowned reputations in the name of comfort."

Ray helped Stella, who had no power to resist, up and continued:

"Because you slept in this bed too."
