"If there's a possibility of things going bad, no matter how small the possibility is, it will happen."
In a way, Rorschach had a deep impression of this sentence, especially since it was the most important lesson in his family education.
In the past, Rorschach didn't really understand the meaning of this sentence, but after his parents went missing, his sister went missing as well, and his life was threatened here, so he really understood … It was probably when you said "I'm already down on my luck, but good things will happen in the future", you just had to wait to break the record of your misfortune.
"The Misfortune Goddess is a snob. The more unlucky you are, the more she likes to pester you. Never count on her forgiveness and kindness. As long as there's a possibility of something even worse, you have to be prepared to deal with it. If a pie falls from the sky, it's basically poisonous. "
This time, the Level 7 Church leaders gave the Game Church was both an opportunity and a challenge … But if they really treated it as a pie that fell from the sky, they really didn't know how they would die.
The public opinion incident this time was actually quite simple. The simplest way to deal with it was undoubtedly to block the news and act as if nothing had happened.
It might be difficult for other Churches, but the Game Church had "Absolute Reality" and countless paparazzi in their hands, so it was possible for them to do so.
Then, the Game Church would also obtain the approval of the Church leaders and become a core member … Then, they would be able to type GG in advance.
"If it's really that simple, can't those guys do it themselves? They have so many puppet aliases. Even if they don't want to do it themselves, with their status, as long as they say so, can we not do as they say? Is there a need to drag us into this game and split the profits? "
Actually, this pie that fell from the sky wasn't just poisonous, it was a lethal poison.
Yes, blocking the news was simple and crude, and there wouldn't be any problems in the short term. The Game Church would also be able to obtain enough rewards to grow rapidly … But the premise was that the news could be blocked permanently.
Blocking the news was simple and crude, but it was also effective very quickly. As long as it was delayed long enough, it would naturally become an unsolved case, and many historical tragedies would become dark history … But the premise was that the news could really be blocked.
The Game Church did have the authority to block the news, but the problem was that the people who knew about it weren't just ordinary people. There were definitely churches, powerhouses, and survivors, and there were quite a few of them.
If the Game Church really did this and sealed off the news, then even if it was successful for a while, as long as a certain church felt like "Why did you get promoted so easily?" or "Why did you get so many benefits by fooling people?" Then, he would casually throw out a rumor. Who knows, there might even be some witnesses. That would be fun.
Compared to a piece of bad news that would cause a huge negative impact after being released, what was worse was probably forcefully covering it up and dragging it out until it could no longer be covered up.
The government sealed off the information, and then the information was exposed … Everyone would blame the government. But at that time, the Game Church was part of the Vila Nova Dônia government, and was also the one who "sealed off the information," which made them the target of public criticism.
"Compared to an unqualified answer, cheating and concealing information is even more unacceptable. Unqualified answers are only a matter of ability, but cheating involves the moral level of integrity. It's the destruction of reputation and trust … And in the world of politics, losing one's reputation and the people's trust is basically the same as death. Sorry, this blame is too heavy. We won't take it. "
From a certain standpoint, this was also a fatal trap. If they were tempted by huge benefits, it was only a matter of time before they became cannon fodder.
What? Was it possible that all the churches would work together and not seal off the news? Heh heh, it was better to talk in one's dreams. Rorschach felt that perhaps there were already people gathering information on the Game Church and preparing to use it as cannon fodder when necessary.
Rorschach never felt that it was too much to be suspicious of others "of the same kind" in the most malicious way possible. Everyone was a competitor to begin with, and all competition was limited to a benign category … Even children wouldn't be so naive. Even kindergarten aunties would treat their parents differently because of small gifts, not to mention that many small actions were difficult to detect. There were plenty of cases of older children stealing candy from younger children.
"If even a little bit of malicious intent can obtain huge benefits in return, then a single report and rumor can topple a church that's ranked ahead of us … We can't even resist this temptation, so how can we possibly blame other churches?"
The simplest and most direct method was something that everyone could think of. However, it was also a slow-acting lethal poison. Rorschach didn't have any intentions of seeking death.
"If we really do that, we'll probably become a dishtowel in the eyes of the higher-ups. We'll use it whenever we need to clean up dirt. We can use it a few more times if we occasionally wash it, but we'll just throw it away and replace it with a new one if it gets too dirty."
"What? Explain it later? At that time, you won't be able to explain it clearly. A exposed lie will make all your truths seem ridiculous and laughable. It's even possible that we'll become the main culprits behind the death toll. "
Rorschach was definitely going to reveal this secret. After all, it wouldn't do to reveal it so directly.
That was why Rorschach came up with a complete plan for all the methods that he could use.
During the internal meeting of the Game Church, this was how Rorschach explained his plan.
"There are actually three ways to make a piece of bad news not sound so bad that it's barely acceptable. How many of you know … Alright, I won't keep you in suspense. I'll just say it directly."
"First, compared to bad news that's happening now, outdated bad news will always give people the wrong impression that it has nothing to do with us. That's why we need to reveal this secret a little slower. We still need to keep it covered for a while."
"Second, compared to sudden explosive bad news, a rumor that's been circulating for several years will always be a little lacking when it's confirmed. The more shocking news there is, the more people will hear about it. Even if the fake news becomes real, they'll become numb to it and think, 'Oh, so it's real' … That's why we shouldn't hold onto the lid too tightly. Let's start creating rumors right now. "
"First, leak the news that 'we've suffered heavy losses in this incident.' Since rumors are destined to appear, we might as well take the initiative to create the original version of the rumors. I'll be personally in charge of the specifics. Later, the Publicity Department will stay behind to hold a second meeting. "
This was a long-term and tedious task. When Rorschach said that, he intended to use a few years to personally control the scale.
