Sun Ning, the president of Future Vision, was sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window in his office, looking through a video projected on the AP. The video is "The Last Barrier" which just topped the hot search list.
Looking at the constant stream of barrages in the video and the completely reversed public opinion, the smile on his face became more and more obvious.
"genius!"
"This guy named Omnic Eye is really a public relations genius!"
While watching the video, Sun Ning ordered the female secretary beside him: "Selena, sort out the entire incident, including this video, and send it to our public relations department. They must learn from it."
"Mr. Sun, is this video really so magical?"
The half-white female secretary leaned over and watched the video for a long time: "It seems to be no different from other videos that accuse us of taking people's jobs."
Sun Ning did not explain directly, but asked: "What do you think is the core of the public opinion this time?"
Serena thought for a moment and said, "The truth?"
"I don't know where Zhang Changlin got the video to slander us and the city hall, but as long as the people know the truth, they will naturally not be deceived by him."
Sun Ning said with a smile: "But later, Zhang Changfeng led people to come forward and completely exposed Zhang Changlin's conspiracy. Why are there still a considerable number of people on his side?"
Before Serena could answer, Sun Ning continued: "The truth is important, but only to some people."
"When the incident has expanded to this level and the people's oppositional emotions have been completely aroused, it no longer matters whether the incident itself is true or false."
"Even if this incident is fake, a question will be planted in their hearts. That is, what should they do if this kind of thing really happens? What should they do if they encounter it?"
"Even if it is just to prevent the slightest change, they must use this stock trend to eliminate all signs that this kind of thing may happen."
Serena frowned: "Just because of your random speculation, you can abuse the city hall on the Internet regardless of the truth? Isn't this ridiculous..."
Sun Ning shook his head: "Is it ridiculous? Not at all."
"I just feel that this is the key to human beings being able to stand out in the primitive jungle of natural selection."
He played with a red bead in his hand and said with emotion: "The truth will only make rational people stop, but interests can make them abandon the truth. But only fear can make all those who feel fear tightly hug together." "
"Especially after we vigorously promote artificial intelligence robots and intervene in various fields, the fear of being eliminated by society, and the fear of being able to linger at the bottom forever, with no chance of getting ahead, has long taken root in their hearts."
"Perhaps, these guys who are cursing the city hall have not thought so much at all. They are just driven by an instinct, as if there is a voice that keeps urging them. If they don't do something, there seems to be no chance..."
Serena spoke up at the right time and asked: "The underlying reason is actually like this... Then how did this video change public opinion?"
Sun Ning was very satisfied with Serena's way of talking, which allowed him to continue to show off his opinions and talents smoothly. Especially when he saw her looking at him with admiration, Sun Ning felt a certain sense of vanity in his heart. I felt strangely satisfied.
Sometimes I have to say that no matter what level you reach, showing off seems to have always been a hard need for human beings. The only difference is that the audience also needs to upgrade.
Sun Ning sorted out his words and continued: "The conflict triggered by Zhang Changlin's video is between the people at the bottom, the city hall and us."
"In the eyes of the public, City Hall and us are exploiters and are on the opposite side of them. So no matter what the truth of the matter is, they will instinctively stand for what they represent. And City Hall and us, for them, Words are naturally antagonistic and need to be struck."
"Just like you often see some posts on the Internet, such as issues between men and women, regional issues, and national issues. When these issues are raised, the two sides have already been preset, and there are natural allies and opponents. Everyone who sees these problems will sit down because of their own attributes, which can easily lead to quarrels or even scoldings."
Serena frowned, thought about it carefully, and found that it seemed to be exactly what Mr. Sun said.
In this world, everyone is born with various attributes, be it a man or a woman, a person from City 18 or City 19, a worker or a boss, etc.
And once conflicts and conflicts of interest arise regarding these identities, they will naturally become allies or enemies because of their natural attributes.
Of course, people who are sensible enough may be able to stay out of it, but you can't require everyone to stay rational at all times.
"Ideological wars have actually existed in human society for many years, and will even continue to exist. When encountering this kind of problem, the fastest solution at present is to do what is done in the video "The Last Barrier" Like that, use a new issue that is bigger, more urgent, and closer to everyone’s interests.”
Sun Ning adjusted the video to the end of the video. At this time, the man in the video was scolding Zhang Changlin for the dangers of using lies to guide public opinion.
Sun Ning pointed at the person in the video and said: "The person who made the video knows this well. Look, when he proposed the concept of 'the last barrier', he had already put the contradiction between the people and the city hall and us. Transferred to the avenger and the liar.”
"In the final analysis, the conflicts between classes are remote and are problems between two large groups. Once humans integrate into the group, their perception of danger will be overshadowed by the illusion of 'false safety' and luck."
"A theory of the last barrier changes the two parties from the people and the city hall to the avengers and the liars. The contradiction of the latter is far more relevant to life and closer to personal interests than the former. After all, even if you are eliminated by society, That is also a reform of the entire labor system, but if you encounter an unjust case, you are the only one who has to bear it."
"So that's it..." Serena looked at Sun Ning with admiration: "This person is quite powerful, but Mr. Sun is even more powerful. He can see the core of the whole incident at a glance."
Sun Ning smiled and patted Serena: "Only when you know yourself and your enemy can you win a hundred battles..."
Just when Sun Ning was about to say something more, the AP bracelet on his wrist vibrated, and Mayor Cui's secretary's communicator request popped up.
Seeing this, Serena retreated wisely and prepared to leave the room.
She did not hear the specific content of the conversation. She only heard Mr. Sun meaningfully saying to the other end of the communication at the end: "Perhaps it is some enthusiastic person who is upholding justice."
…
On the other side, the video "The Last Barrier" was also placed in front of Professor Qin.
Qin Jiao closed the video and said calmly: "This may be the final truth..."
Chen Yun frowned: "Professor...there are obviously many loopholes in this. If what the video says is true, first of all, Zhang Changlin's motivation for behavior cannot be justified."
"Also, even if he is paid to do things, then what do they want to do with the money? Is it a company just to discredit the city hall?"
"besides……"
Professor Qin waved his hand to interrupt Chen Yun: "The city hall is satisfied. Future Vision will not be held accountable by the city hall, and it will also be satisfied. The dead people have come back to life. The people have new targets for attack, and they are standing again." On the high ground of justice..."
"As a result, only Zhang Changlin became the victim of the entire incident. So - this is the truth!"
"It can only be, must be, the final truth!"
After finishing speaking, Professor Qin looked at Chen Yun with a serious face and ordered: "We are officers of the Special Affairs Bureau, and we are also half-soldiers."
"For a soldier, loyalty is far more important than the truth."
Under Professor Qin's gaze, Chen Yun's expression changed several times. Finally, she lowered her head and responded in a dull voice: "I understand, Professor."
Professor Qin patted Chen Yun on the shoulder, walked to his workbench, put on the instrument speculum again, and prepared to continue the unfinished experiment.
"By the way, remember to instruct the soldiers who go to rescue Zhang Changlin to try not to conflict with the people in the city hall. It is best to bring them back before the team from the city hall arrives."
Chen Yun nodded and picked up her special communicator, only to find that she had just received a video on her account.
"Professor, the people sent to assist Zhang Changlin have been contacted. This is the live video they sent back!"
While talking, Chen Yun casually projected the video.
The video footage shows that the location is in Times Square.
Zhang Changlin was like a sculpture, standing silently among a pile of corpses. His body shone with two kinds of spiritual energy, gold and black.
At this time, the golden psychic energy was gradually fading.
After about a dozen breaths, all the golden light on his body was swallowed up, and his whole body was covered by a black spiritual energy that was as dirty as mud.
Zhang Changlin himself floated slowly in the air under the influence of black spiritual energy. A large amount of black spiritual energy flowed out of him like water, covering the corpses on the ground.
He looked at the neatly arranged corpses around him and suddenly said in a cold and hoarse voice——
"stand up!"
