Act 31: Pig teammates
In the basement of a mansion in Wendland, a young man was getting ready to sleep.
His name is Jerat, and he is ostensibly a petty trader, but in reality he is a small leader of the Organon cultist.
They certainly don't call themselves cultists, they prefer to call themselves changemakers, meaning people who change this stale world, and Zherat has been a member of the organization for four years, and after seeing Ramirez's collapse, he lost all faith and was eventually absorbed by the cultists, and relied on his brilliant talent to climb to this position.
It's not as people think, cultists are not all psychopaths who like to kill and abuse, of course, Zherat also admits that such guys do exist, but the cultists who really hold the power are quite reasonable, otherwise this organization would have been on the verge of collapse as early as the beginning of its establishment.
For Zherat, the organization of the Changemakers is too mixed, most of the low-level believers are some poor and poor, low-level people, but the top is all over the society, there is no shortage of all kinds of formal mages and nobles, and it is precisely because of this that the educated Zherat can be like a fish in water.
His current task is important, pointing directly at the highest authority in the country, and Gerat has to consult a lot of material every day, spending most of the day conceiving articles and posting them on the forum.
Yes, Jerat was the one who started the fanning posts on the forum.
At first, he didn't understand the meaning of doing this, so he had to write articles according to the instructions of his superiors, but it was only later that Zherat found that public opinion on the forum was gradually under his control, and he somewhat understood why he did it.
While lamenting the thinking of his leader beyond ordinary people, Zherat gradually immersed himself in making posts and couldn't extricate himself, and he felt extremely excited at the thought that those high-ranking beings would fall into the whirlpool of public opinion because of his words.
Today he happened to finish writing two posts about the recent "Flying Wendlanders" incident, and wrote them all night, in one go, and Zherat felt quite satisfied, and forwarded the posts to his colleagues who didn't know where they were, asking them to post them on different accounts, and then preparing to take a break first.
Zherat watched with satisfaction that there were several comments as soon as the post was posted, and was about to turn off the mobile terminal, when he heard a ding, the chat window shook, and a message from a colleague made Zherat stop moving.
"Check out the latest posts on the forum?"
He didn't understand, and before he looked at the other party's next string of messages, he directly opened the forum of the mobile terminal and saw that several posts had been refreshed.
"What is this?"
Zherat's gaze first fell on the post titled "Official Explanation of the Accident on the Flying Windlanders", and he hesitated to open the post, and Zherat suddenly felt as if a huge hammer had struck him in the chest.
The post described in detail everything that happened on the "Flying Wendlanders" train, and even directly released the information of several cultists, except for some modus operandi that were hidden, almost through this post to see the full picture of the incident.
What's more, there are several places in it that are contrary to what Geralt had speculated, which means that they are completely contrary to the content of his post.
"This must be nonsense. ”
Drowsy, Gerat carefully skimmed through the post again, and finally his eyes fell on the poster.
Wendland's official release committee, with a small V logo on the back.
This means that this is an account that has been verified by the administrator, which means that this article is indeed published by the official and is extremely credible.
The real slap in the face made Zherat feel stuffy in his chest, and he had a feeling that he couldn't use his strength.
He hurriedly went back to read the reply to his post, and sure enough, there was a person who quoted the official note to slap him in the face, and he also received a very high number of approvals, and even a few people who ridiculed Zherat's article with jokes also received hot comments, which made him quite angry, and his whole face was twisted into a ball, which was genuinely angry and deformed.
If that was enough to infuriate Zherat, the next post he saw completely angered the man.
What he saw was an analysis of the incident of the "Flying Wendlanders", there were many such posts, which usually sprung up after an incident, and it was also an auxiliary to Zherat's stirring up the storm.
This post was sent to him by one of Jerat's companions, and he originally thought it was nothing special, but after reading it carefully, Jerat found that the position of this post was too obvious, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was not their style at all, but the meaning expressed in it was exactly the same as Gerat's post.
If you read two posts, you will quickly understand the consistent kernel and see clearly the intention of Zherat's post.
"What idiot posted this level of post!?"
Zherat couldn't help but growl, he thought it was sent by someone from within the changemakers, because in addition to him, there were several other teams on related missions, and they sometimes exchanged information.
He immediately ran to the chat group they used to communicate and questioned, but everyone said that it was not his own handiwork.
Since they were communicating in code, the conversation looked rather strange, but it couldn't hide the anger and confusion of the crowd.
Zherat swore that if he knew which rabbit had made such a low-level post, he would cut off his head and feed it to the dogs.
But after a circle of exchanges, they didn't find the initiator, and even the forum ID of the poster was not an account they owned.
"Is it really not us?"
Zherat touched his chin and said.
The appearance of this kind of post has a huge impact on their control of public opinion, and if there are a few more similar posts, then most people may detour directly when they see this kind of title in the future, and they will not even click in to see it, and their efforts will have little effect.
What's more, now that the official means of release is available, the public will be more inclined to believe the official rhetoric, and the analysis of this hearsay will be more skeptical, and it will not seem so easy to call for wind and rain as before.
"If it's not our own people, who would post this kind of content?"
Zherat couldn't figure it out at all this time.
