Chapter 593: Chapter 593
The rapid-fire tactics of the public opinion warfare reminded Lu Zixun of Gu Beihan immediately.
If not for the fact that doing this would not benefit Gu Beihan in any way, Lu Zixun would have already gone and attacked.
But who else would use such a tactic besides Gu Beihan...
Lu Zixun felt his thinking was limited and didn’t understand the structure within Crimson Academy that well.
"Brother Xun, why are you silent? What should we do now?"
Compared to the composed Lu Zixun, Ge Changming was much more anxious.
He kept pacing around the room, making Lu Zixun dizzy.
He waved his paw, signaling Ge Changming to sit down.
Lu Zixun looked at the photo uploaded on the Night Talk Forum and pondered aloud, "This photo isn’t bad at all, am I actually this handsome?"
Hearing Lu Zixun still not taking things seriously, Ge Changming called out anxiously.
"I hear you, I hear you."
Fiddling with his ear, Lu Zixun leisurely said, "At a time , when such a public opinion surfaces and Crimson doesn’t stop it, then it’s definitely related to Crimson. Isn’t that a good direction to investigate?"
Putting down his phone, Lu Zixun’s mouth curled up slightly.
"The emergence of public opinion aims to achieve a certain goal, and the purpose of this piece of public opinion is quite clear."
"It’s to defame Demon Country and the Insect Clan by suggesting they have an unspeakable relationship, which would cause other Spiritual Ability Users to distrust Demon Country."
"The person who wrote this article must be good at seizing opportunities, just after the disaster in the Insect Slaying Zone and I haven’t made an appearance to mourn."
With a flash of coldness in his eyes, Lu Zixun changed his tone: "But that doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing. Let’s let them curse us for a while, after all, public opinion is such a thing... heh heh."
He chuckled with a deep meaning and didn’t continue.
After a moment of contemplation, Ge Changming lifted his head, his face showing enlightenment, "Should I go investigate the internal situation of Crimson and gather evidence?"
"No need to investigate inside Crimson. It’s definitely not so easy to find out."
Pausing, Lu Zixun thought for a moment, "For now, let’s just take the hits until it’s over. The harsher the criticism, the more satisfying it will be when things turn around, especially since the location of the Spiritual Disorder Center is quite intriguing."
"Si Yin, did you see the news on Night Language Forum?"
Feng Yiyang carefully eyed Lin Siyin while they were in the rest area.
Shaking her head, Lin Siyin’s gaze fell on Feng Yiyang, "What’s the matter? What happened?"
Feng Yiyang had thought Lin Siyin was distracted because she knew about Lu Zixun’s private meeting with the Insect Clan woman.
Now, hearing Lin Siyin’s response, Feng Yiyang wished he could slap himself for being so nosy.
He laughed awkwardly, turned his head away, and didn’t make eye contact with Lin Siyin: "It’s nothing. I was just asking if there was any news. Since you haven’t seen it, I’ll check it out later."
The pretext that didn’t match his former words obviously made Lin Siyin suspicious.
She took out her phone, logged into the Night Language Forum immediately, and saw that post right away.
Next to her, Wang Qing slapped Feng Yiyang’s back hard and glared at him fiercely, conveying a silent message about how talkative he was.
Wincing in pain, a helpless look appeared on Feng Yiyang’s face.
He didn’t mean to; he even wanted to comfort Lin Siyin by saying Lu Zixun wasn’t that kind of person. Now it seemed he really needed to offer comfort.
After reading the news, Lin Siyin immediately called Lu Zixun.
Seeing that it was Lin Siyin calling, Lu Zixun, without any trace of guilt, answered immediately.
Before Lin Siyin could speak, Lu Zixun rambled, "That news is deliberately smearing me. I just went to ask for some intelligence."
After saying this, Lin Siyin was satisfied with Lu Zixun’s anxious tone of explanation and asked with a smile on her mouth, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Um... Not at the moment, but soon."
After having a laugh and a chat with Lu Zixun, Lin Siyin hung up the phone contentedly.
Noticing the rest of her squad in the rest area looking at her, Lin Siyin looked around and asked expressionlessly, "What’s the matter?"
Wang Qing, feeling that Lin Siyin’s cheerful demeanor was a facade, came over: "Sister Si Yin, Lord Xun definitely isn’t like what the news says; you have to believe him."
Beside her, Feng Yiyang quickly chimed in: "Yes, yes, I think the person in the photo isn’t as attractive as you. It must be those stupid authors writing nonsense."
"I think that Lord Xun is a very responsible man."
Li Dazhu also said seriously, "Although I’ve only met Lord Xun a few times, I could see during the battle of contention, Lord Xun values the leader a lot!"
Comforting voices filled the rest area.
Lin Siyin, who wanted to tease them, couldn’t hold back and laughed, shaking her head, "Of course, I believe in Da Ju. I just felt bad for not going along with your serious faces."
After covering her mouth and laughing for a while, Lin Siyin said lightly, "No matter how fierce the rumors, if he says there’s nothing, then there’s nothing."
The team members, inadvertently force-fed a mouthful of dog food, twitched at the corners of their mouths, exchanged glances, and for a moment, didn’t want to speak.
Feng Yiyang, as the instigator, lost the vice-captain’s prestige and was cornered and lectured by the team members.
"Lord Xun, we can confirm that the news was released by Yang Guohong’s intelligence group. Do you need the Order’s help?"
Listening to Qing Yuanyang’s voice on the phone, Lu Zixun looked solemnly at the documents in his hand and after a while said, "Wait a bit more. I’ll get in touch later."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Zixun took a deep breath and slammed the documents on the table.
The results were from Shadow’s investigation into the Spiritual Disorder Center.
The gatekeepers in charge of the underground construction of Crimson Academy all showed signs of being invaded by Nightmares, no wonder they ignored such a big Spire.
Now it seemed that the Spiritual Disorder Center emerging underneath Crimson Academy had a lot to do with Crimson.
Going further, perhaps the Civilization Destroyers were all guided by Crimson into the Insect Slaying Zone.
Saying this with some incomprehension, Lu Zixun rubbed his throbbing temple and fell into deep thought.
Crimson deliberately buried the Spire under Crimson Academy, seemingly wanting to destroy the academy, and Wang Linfan was a Believer of the Justice Goddess...
"So that’s how it is."
