In late June, Tianyi's killing incident disguised as a Ku Klux Klan caused quite a stir in the city of Paris. During this sensitive period when the situation in southern Oak County was very chaotic, a racial vendetta that had basically been extinct on the earth for many years ended. Frequent occurrences here have naturally attracted close attention from many walks of life.
Putting aside the attitude and response of HL and some other organizations to this incident, from the perspective of the public, the first murder case presented to them was the horrific case of Galas Dadan being murdered and his body displayed in public.
This case was carried out by Tianyi himself in order to convey two messages to the public. First, the murderer or the organization to which the murderer belongs is bold and cruel enough; secondly, the murderer or the organization to which the murderer belongs is a pure and extreme race. ists, even if the victim has a decent job, a respected social status, a family to take care of, etc., he will still not receive any mercy.
The proportion of African-American citizens in Oak County is relatively high in Europe. These two points alone, as long as the local media exaggerate the matter in the newspapers, are enough to arouse the attention of many people and the panic of a few 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 give speeches, express their positions and opinions, and use the negative factors available in the event to attack their opponents; Critics and activists who were keen to increase their visibility also participated and expressed their opinions; the mainstream media showed a harmonious scene, and all walks of life expressed deep condolences and sympathy for the family of the deceased; then people began to dig deeper into the reasons for the incident and express their opinions on the murderer. Various self-justifying interpretations are made; in the end, when the energy of the event is exhausted, everything remains the same, nothing has changed, until the next time a similar tragedy occurs, some people will bring up the past again.
School shootings, serial car accidents, high-rise fires, and madmen mutilating corpses. The world is more dangerous than imagined. The process after most civil tragedies can be summarized as the above. At present, it seems that there is only one way for the crime to be strong enough to promote a large number of reform plans in a short period of time, which is to hijack a plane and crash it into a skyscraper.
Of course, Tianyi doesn't need that level of influence yet. He just needs public opinion to put pressure on the police. Just doing the case of Galas Dadan is obviously not enough. But with Moon Demon's actions after that, that was enough.
The public's perspective on things, the amount of information they have, and their mentality are all different from those of the police. The police will compare the methods of the two cases to analyze whether the murderer is the same person. But the public doesn't. They only care about the news of dead people published in the newspapers every day. For five consecutive days, black people were killed and their eyes were smashed.
The media will not focus their reporting on the reasoning behind the case. They will only briefly mention the other white victims, and not a word about the serial killer’s previous cases. Instead, they specifically selected some alarmist content for publication, listed the commonalities between the Gallas case and the mysterious serial killer case, wrote some unreliable reasoning, and made a big fuss around the word racism. , many tabloids and talk shows like to use uncomfortable topics to grab people's attention and increase circulation and ratings. Until the bloody massacres in June are completely solved and the murderers are brought to justice, these unscrupulous journalists will work tirelessly and do their best to make reports like this as hot as possible.
The media in this world have long lost the professional ethics that journalists should have. They only do two things. The first thing: to carry out correct "public opinion guidance" under the instruction of the empire, such as broadcasting some news such as "People around the world are happy to welcome the rise in oil prices." I believe that any normal human being, after seeing this kind of report, will have strong doubts about the credibility of the media and the intelligence of relevant practitioners.
The second thing: Driven by commercial interests, they do whatever they can to publish the most eye-catching news. War, violence, sex, all negative news related to celebrities... This is the news that reporters are chasing to increase sales.
Homicide is violence; racism is a selling point; if the police do not announce the progress of the investigation, they are covering up certain truths; if the police announce the progress of the investigation, they are trying to hide it... Anyway, there is always something to write about.
As long as the murderer is not caught for a day, the Paris police will be on fire every second. What's more, now the murderer, or the so-called Ku Klux Klan, not only has not been arrested, but is still committing crimes.

June 29, Dolphin Hotel, Room 908.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Tianyi opened his eyes, sat up from his bed, and squinted sleepily at the sofa chair on his right.
At this moment, there was a man 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-ounce paper bound together to read." Gu Ling said: "In addition to various periodical publications, every year, The printing volume of various novels, textbooks, and even reference books has been drastically reduced. Electronicization is the future trend, but you seem to be a very nostalgic person."
Tianyi replied: "People nowadays are becoming more and more accustomed to turning information into data in computers. For children these days, a diary is something written online and shared with others, rather than something locked in a drawer. A booklet. Adults save photos, videos, work materials, etc., everything that needs to be saved on the hard drive. It has become a common sense to use convenient electronic products to replace traditional recording methods.
You know, habits are terrible. Habits can easily turn into dependence. Dependence is like a fatal disease that may kill you at any time. When something you rely on becomes unreliable, stops working as usual, or even starts to fight against you, you will instantly be at a loss, fall into passivity, and be at the mercy of others. "
"Are you worried that the e-book reader will learn the knowledge in the book to generate artificial intelligence, realize self-deformation, and then pierce your eyeballs with a metal detector to suck out your brain?" Gu Ling asked.
"I didn't expect you to joke?" Tianyi said with a smile.
"Do you know me well?" Gu Ling said, "Why can't I just joke?"
Tianyi did not answer, but instead said: "I won't ask you how you entered this room. Anyway, you have many methods... Can you tell me what is the purpose of your coming?"
"I just came to see your progress." Gu Ling pointed to the laptop on the table and said sarcastically again: "Judging from the virtual model you built in that electronic product, it seems that you have done a lot of homework. I 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 laughed. Only he knew what this smile meant.
After laughing for a while, he took a long breath and said: "On the night of July 2, before midnight, I will go and take out Scarlet Pandora. You tell me a meeting place, and I will come and hand it over to you immediately after I take it out. .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 we'll do it at midnight, at the Arc de Triomphe."
"Above?" Tianyi said: "You mean... the top?"
"You can't climb up?" Gu Ling asked.
"Hehe...hehe..." Tianyi laughed again: "We'll see you on the night of the 2nd."
