Chapter 509 Empathy

Time flies, a few days have passed, and the first shot of the public opinion war has begun. In order to increase people's trust in this first-hand information, Edmons asked someone to write an article titled "Suspicious creatures found in a certain place in China" and an article titled "A Suspicious Man Occasionally Gets a Strange Disease, The Symptoms Like Vampire".

The content of these two articles is quite subtle and does not directly indicate that there is a vampire, but instead reveals some of the characteristics of vampires first.

Both news were reported by major Chinese official media, and within a few days after the news was released, it caused a warm response.

For example, official media rarely publishes such explosive news. These two reports should have been gimmick news from gossip magazines, but they appear in most official media at the same time. The words are rigorous and all data are supported by evidence.

So, in an instant, a heated discussion among netizens started. Some people began to discuss whether vampires exist, some people began to discuss whether human society has been controlled by vampires. Of course, some people also condemned the major media for being irresponsible and publishing such subjective biased reports.

No one knows that the suspicious man in the report is a blood servant captured by the temple. He will act as a typical disease and be reported throughout the process of mental deterioration, which will serve as a warning to the general public.

Now, the attention of public opinion has hit the blood clan, and Edmons' first step has been achieved. Next, he will dig out the blood clan murders that the hunter organized for many years and place the evidence in the sun for everyone to watch.

The reason is nothing else. This is all to establish hostility to the blood clan. While establishing hostility, the degree of this must be controlled well.

If the emotional incitement is not enough, the people will not attract attention to the blood clan, and they will only feel that the world is not peaceful.

They would think in their hearts that although many people were being hurt, the chances were very low and it would not be their turn. Then everyone would go to work, eat, and sleep. Except for a little worry in their hearts, no one would want to fight against the blood clan.

Only when the emotional incitement is strong enough can the people feel that the blood clan has threatened the lives of their ordinary people, and the government must take corresponding measures to fight and suppress those evil creatures.

Of course, when inciting people's emotions, you must be careful not to overdo it. If you demonize the blood clan too much and describe the blood clan as a terrifying monster, it will only unilaterally cause the masses to be frightened. Once a person's emotions fall into fear, he will lose his mind and be difficult to accept guidance.

In order to control this degree, Edmons dug out the crimes committed by the blood clan over the years one by one, and on the other hand, he also found out the old hunters who solved these murders and arranged interview records for them, intending to portray them into heroes who hunted the blood clan.

Edmons' idea is very simple. He wants to convey a message to the masses. Although the blood clan is terrible, it is not undefeated. They are like common criminals in society. As long as the methods are in place, they can be killed and eliminated.

Edmons originally thought his strategy was fine, and he soon realized that he was too optimistic.

In just a few days, he was hit by public opinion, and the conflicting focus was quickly drawn away. Edmons was not sure if anyone was at the scene. Anyway, most people's focus was on the question of "why the government has concealed it for so long."

Compared to solving problems, they seem to prefer to first determine who should bear the responsibility for solving problems.

On this day, Edmons turned on the computer again and he clicked into a forum.

[User 165465: Why are there such things as vampires? Do they just suck human blood? Judging from the news released yesterday, vampires are generally much stronger than ordinary people. Will they be as strong as those vampires in TV series, and can they live forever?]

[User 654635: I think it might be OK, otherwise how would you explain that gj wants to hide this? Think about it, it may be because it can extend lifespan and maintain social stability that gj hides the existence of this creature. Who doesn’t want to live? Now a middle-aged boy wants to be a vampire and catch a lot.]

[The clever little white rabbit: I think what is said upstairs is too optimistic. It may not be as simple as you think. Maintaining social stability is just an appearance, and the real purpose may be centralization.]

[Crazy Joker: The above person obviously knows some inside information. There is a saying that everyone understands this matter, but if you don’t understand, you don’t understand it, so why not say it. Don’t ask me what’s wrong? The interests are too involved, and it’s not good for you to say it. Just pretend you don’t know. The rest is very deep and involves many big people. It’s difficult to find detailed information by yourself. Most of the online has been deleted, so I can only say that you understand it, and there is no way to do if you don’t understand it.]

[Anonymous: The awesome upstairs, it’s all this time. There are so many nts playing tricks on the Internet. If it were me, I wouldn’t be a human being. It’s too tiring to be like this kind of nt.]

Edmons quickly slid down the rollers and visited most of the posts on the homepage of a forum. It took him half an hour to read most of the discussions on the mainstream forums.

The result disappointed him. Most people on the Internet no longer pay attention to vampires, but began to fabricate various conspiracy theories and continue to let the situation ferment. The government's credibility will gradually decline unless... unless some fierce policies and measures are introduced immediately to raise the credibility of the falling people again!

Dongdongdongdongdong.

"Come in."

Kurt pushed the door open and put a report on the table.

"This is the conclusion reached by the public opinion expert group today. I think you should take a look," Kurt said.

Edmons looked at the stack of documents and knew what was written on the stack of paper without looking at it. The situation was not optimistic.

Qin Yi once said that we should think about problems from the perspective of the masses, get into their minds, see what they want and what they are afraid of.

He wanted to do this, but when he really wanted to do it, he realized that it was not so easy. Thinking from the perspective of others is a very simple thing, but most people often get the conclusions from the perspective of others.

When the poor enter the rich and think about the golden hoe; when the rich enter the poor and think about the poor, they always feel that the poor have no IQ.

But the truth is that the rich do not use gold hoes, and the poor have made the best choices they can make in their current environment.

"Don't think of them as fools. They act like fools because they know you guys who are arrogant think of them all as fools... but in fact, who is the real fool may be."

Edmons suddenly remembered this sentence. This was the last sentence Qin Yi said to him before he left. Now he remembered it again, and there seemed to be a faint metaphor hidden in it.
