Chapter 156: Public Opinion Turmoil
While Navalli was lying at home, lying on his side day and night as if he had lost his mind.
On the Internet, public opinion is still changing.
On the day Julia died during the march, the initial online public opinion was basically dominated by shock and bewilderment.
After all, the United States is a country accustomed to demonstrations, and although Julia and those in the "Solidarity Block" support the villain Masip, who is considered "unforgivable" by the whole country, when it comes to life, people can't help but feel some pity for it.
Moreover, what netizens like the most is not the truth that is directly stated, but the confusing reversal, in the process of reversal, everyone can find their own position and the object to follow, and life does not need to be reversed in order to live easily; But the news needs to be reversed in order to catch the eye.
It's like an unexpected suspense movie, you never know what cards the director has arranged until the last minute - so at that time, there were even quite a few people who wondered if Masip's death was really something wrong because of Julia's death.
— but soon that suspicion disappeared after the leak of the footage of Morun Odullah's arrest.
The man in the picture fully shows his state of mind and strong disgust.
The extremely simple feeling of wanting to avenge his daughter, wanting to stop those bastards who hope to overturn the case for the real murderer through "unfair means", has been appreciated by many people on the Internet - every ordinary person will think, if I were in this situation, if my daughter was treated like this, what would I do?
Thus, out of the revenge of an "eye for an eye" that a righteous citizen had the most heart, the slightest reversal of Julia's death disappeared in an instant, like a slight countercurrent in the waves of horror.
Instead, netizens shared their support for Morun Odura's actions.
Although some people will find Morun's actions a bit radical - no matter who they are, they will understand Morun's actions from the bottom of their hearts.
Even, on the front page of the White House, a petition to slow down or even exonerate Morun's crimes has been registered by more than half a million users.
Of course, on the other hand, as the "righteous" side represented by Morun, Julia, as the deceased, will naturally be stepped into a deeper abyss.
This is the natural principle of public opinion attack and defense.
When you are in the position of one of the parties and agree with its behavior from the bottom of your heart, you will subconsciously look for loopholes and moral inferiority in the other party's behavior in order to cater to your inner emotions and strengthen the "justice" of your position.
Luckily, Julia is dead, and the Solidarity Block is in Travis's hands, and there is no one to defend her.
So, just like Masip, the dead Julia suffered the same dilemma, as Mark Twain's "Running for Governor."
Rumors began to circulate on the Internet:
- Julia and Massip, who are called adoptive father and daughter, are actually in an illicit relationship, and she has a twisted love for Massip in her heart, and it is this love that blinds her heart......
- Julia bullied her classmates in high school, and she caused several girls to drop out of school, even though it was actually Julia who helped a classmate who was being bullied and kicked the girls out of school......
Julia did a public welfare project at Yale University, but she used all the proceeds of the project to enrich herself - the reality is that this public welfare project is a practical project funded by the Unity Block, and all the funds are used to build the school......
Advanced news media, as well as the latest technological tools, have made it easier to share information, making this era in an information explosion environment, but to some extent, the truth is more difficult to come to the fore.
Modern media platforms have become places where rumors are incubated, and there is no longer a gap between truth and falsehood – as long as you believe, you are the truth.
As a result, when rumors continued to accumulate and stacked, Julia's image, like Masip, was completely distorted.
……
Travis smoked a cigarette and sat at the headquarters of Unity Block, staring at the community comments displayed on the screen, his face blank.
The names of Masip and Julia have been completely dissolved in public opinion, reduced to one dark symbol after another—although this is a work that he has carried out single-handedly and has been working hard for a long time, but there is not much joy in Travis's heart so far.
There is no sentimentality either.
All that's left is calm.
Today, the number of members of the "Unity Block" has dropped from 100,000 to less than 20,000, and the cause that Masip has spent his life building has become a half-ruin.
Even Travis would feel a little sorry for this, after all, if he could use it reasonably, then with the number of members and resources of the 'Unity Block', it would be enough to raise his status by a few steps - but unfortunately, the cripple of the 'Unity Block' was something that the people above had already decided, and he couldn't change it.
Besides, his future is not in the cramped social organization of this headquarters, but in a larger, distant world - so, when he thinks about the future he was promised, the few regrets that Travis has left in his heart are completely gone.
He exhaled smoke rings one after another, and the white mist formed a ring, which also slowly drifted away in the air.
Suddenly, Travis' brow furrowed.
He noticed that there seemed to be some dissonant tones in the community comments - and, as time went on, those tones became more and more -
"Wait......"
Travis held the mouse, found the source of these strange comments according to those discordant voices, and looked at the source-the technical analysis report hanging on the homepage of the website, Travis's pupils widened and widened, and for the first time, his eyes overflowed with inexplicable fear-
"How...... How is this possible! Why do you want to do this kind of thing? Are they crazy?!!! ”
The phone on the table suddenly vibrate, and Travis's body became even stiffer at the sight of the number on it.
Sweat continued to ooze down his forehead, his hands trembled, and he picked up the phone—
"Sir......
……
The city of Los Angeles is still a three-story apartment in that neighborhood.
But today, the peace outside the apartment door was shattered, and men in police uniforms occupied the entrance and exit outside the apartment door, moving quickly and violently blasting the door open.
“FBI,open the door!”
There was no movement of resistance in the room.
There wasn't even any sound of resistance, or rather, no sound at all.
After rushing into the room, the FBIs took their pistols and looked at the empty bedroom with both the computer and the head of the household.
Moments later, a call back to his superiors was called:
"Sir, mission failed, subject has fled......"
