Chapter 1454: Just a Trial

Whoever can control the media has the right to public opinion and the right to speak.

All ordinary people get their information from the media, and all of it is screened through layers of screening before being released. Basically, whoever the media says is bad is bad, and whoever the media says is good is good.

Whether it is good or bad, ordinary people have no way of knowing. Only a very small number of awakened people can explore something from the details, but they cannot fight against the general cognition.

Some media outlets simply spoke frankly, insisting that the level 4 explosion was manipulated by Lei Zhen, and produced various evidences.

Under the guidance of this public opinion, Lei Zhen fell from the altar.

Although it was not classified as terrorist, the behavior was already anti-human and began to be abused and cursed by countless people.

"Evil people are evil people. No matter how good their disguise is, they will be exposed one day."

"I've long said that Lei Zhen is not a good man. He has committed many war crimes and his hands are stained with blood!"

"We strongly demand that this executioner be tried and sentenced to death..."

There were loud shouts, one wave higher than the other, and there were also parades, but they were of no use at all.

As Lei Zhen said, the voices of ordinary people are almost useless. No matter whether they speak well or badly, it has little impact on him, because the card game of the makeshift team cannot accommodate these people.

The reason for maintaining the image is just the rules of the game.

And this rule can be changed at any time. For example, a month ago Lei Zhen was a saint, and a month later he became an executioner. The change was so great that it was astonishing.

In layman's terms, it is called the collapse of character. Under normal circumstances, once it collapses, there is no hope of recovery, which is equivalent to being eliminated from the game.

"It's ridiculous! It's these media outlets that say he's a saint, and it's these media outlets that say he's a butcher. You guys are allowed to say whatever you want."

"It's just a fight between the big guys, but I hope Chairman Lei Zhen can pull through. I quite like his way of doing things. I heard it's the only way to compete with those black-hearted politicians."

"Yes, no matter whether he is good or bad, at least he can form a check and balance with those bastards..."

The majority of people follow the crowd. They just do whatever others say and have no opinions of their own. But those who are sober are truly sober.

Western forces took the initiative and finally changed public opinion into what they wanted.

On this basis, the joint investigation team held a press conference and disclosed the investigation results to the outside world for the first time.

Countless reporters swarmed in, pointing their cameras at the spokesman, Mr. Robert.

"According to our investigation, the biological laboratory in Country F may have conducted research and cultivation on Level 4, because the original strain was found there..."

After taking the initiative, you have to destroy your opponent, that is, take advantage of his weakness to kill him.

Wherever the virus is found, we can basically confirm where it was cultured. This is an inference based on rigorous scientific standards.

"Mr. Robert, I heard that this biological laboratory belongs to Lei Zhen, the chairman of the Security Committee. Is that true?"

The reporter's questions were very sharp.

Without any nonsense, he asked if this laboratory belonged to Lei Zhen.

"According to our investigation, the head of the laboratory is an Oriental named Huang Rui. She has a close relationship with Lei Zhen, Chairman of the Security Committee, and even has a daughter with him."

As soon as the answer came out, there was an uproar.

Is there any need to ask?

The person in charge of the laboratory is Lei Zhen's woman. Everything that happens here is related to Lei Zhen. In other words, it was Lei Zhen who did it.

"I'm a reporter from the Thai House Newspaper. Could you please tell me if the joint investigation team has made a final determination? Is Security Committee Chairman Lei Zhen the mastermind behind this Level 4 outbreak?"

"We have made a determination, but are not sure yet whether Mr. Lei Zhen, chairman of the Security Committee, is involved in this incident, but an investigation into him has been launched."

"What was the result?"

"We are currently investigating and collecting evidence. We do not believe that Chairman Lei Zhen was responsible for this incident, but everything will depend on the final results of the investigation..."

Not sure yet, not believed, an investigation has been launched.

No one said that it was Lei Zhen who did it, but he cleverly made everyone think that it was Lei Zhen who did it. Otherwise, why would an investigation be launched?

Especially the four words "I don't believe it" are even more intriguing. Is it because it has been confirmed that it is not convenient to say it now, or is it hard to believe that this saint would do such an anti-human thing?

Different people have different opinions, but the spokesperson has not confirmed it anyway.

Under this conscious guidance, the storm of public opinion was completely unleashed. The whole world was condemning Lei Zhen, and people everywhere were outraged and demanded severe punishment for the other party.

This is an overwhelming advantage. In Speaker Sam's opinion, the final word is in the end. There is no way Lei Zhen can turn the defeat around under such a disadvantage.

The voices of ordinary people are useless, but they can be fully utilized.

The surface level of this exploitation is to win the hearts of the people, the deeper level is that most of them are just, and the bottom level is to go with the flow.

…

Inside the Vatican.

The bishops were in meeting and without exception expressed their opinions to Pope St.

Perhaps it is necessary to take a stand, because the believers below have begun to waver under the public opinion offensive. If it continues like this, the credibility of the Holy See will be shaken.

Because Lei Zhen is a canonized purple archbishop, he represents the image of the Holy See to the outside world.

“Hmm…”

Pope Ster nodded as a response.

He had to make a decision on this matter, and he had to make it today, otherwise the Holy See would fall into a crisis of faith. After all, it was their purple archbishop who became an anti-human executioner.

"Everyone, I disagree." Bishop Gaia stood up and said, "It's obvious that this is a Western attack on us through the Mythical Purple Archbishop, designed to minimize people's faith in the Vatican. This is a complete conspiracy. We shouldn't make a decision, because no matter what we do, we will lose credibility."

It’s different for those who have received the money. He has already received the first profit from the gold mine, which is more than what he earned in the past ten years. He must speak for Lei Zhen.

Of course, what he said makes sense.

If they announced the removal of Lei Zhen's status as archbishop at this time, it would mean that they were admitting their mistakes, and the Holy See is never wrong, otherwise its influence would be greatly weakened.

"If we don't make a decision, Western forces will soon attack us, and the problem will become even more complicated. I wonder if Bishop Gaia has considered this issue?"

"So this is truly an attack on us by Western forces. No matter what we do, it will be wrong and will affect our credibility. Therefore, we ask the Pope to make the final decision."

The problem was thrown to Pope St., and he did whatever he said.

"Um……"

Pope Ster raised his head, a look of divine compassion in his eyes.

"This is God's guidance, and even more so, God's test for His messengers. We must firmly believe that the Holy Light will break through the darkness..."

It is difficult to get off the tiger, so everything must be guided by God.

The Holy Light will not be shrouded by darkness. What is happening now is just a trial, nothing more.
