It was pierced and corroded by the silver bullets, and its entire body and all its branches were shaking violently.
[Why?]
Each branch simultaneously outlined golden characters in the air.
[Why???]
It doesn't understand.
Even angry.
Why would his chosen successor to wisdom shoot at it?
It drove all the branches forward, like countless tentacles waving wildly in front of the girl.
But it didn't work.
Hitzfelka was positioned just right, and no matter how it twisted and twitched, no branch could touch her.
"Because you lied to me."
Hitzfeld said calmly.
"You placed the fruits of George Lister's contribution in front of me not out of pure kindness, but to lure me into this situation step by step."
[I don't--]
"Yeah."
The corner of his mouth sneered.
"Then how do you explain what happened to Anthony and Booth?"
"Do you think I only looked into the information of these two people? No... I checked everyone and found that Anthony and Booth were not the only special cases. There were several other groups of people who had similar experiences."
"I was very curious at the time. Why is it called a 'group'? Including Xia and I, all those who are treated well by the library and have no worries about their lives in the Dead City are in groups of two without exception."
"It's easy to find the connection between them." She looked coldly at the twitching tree, "Most of them are lovers."
[That’s because——because they both have deep feelings for each other, it’s not easy to interpret——]
"really?"
Hitzfeld interrupted it.
"Isn't it really because, 'Only by turning lovers against each other can the greed that grows from distorted love become sweeter and more efficient in nourishing the Dark Serpent'?"
[I don't--]
"boom!"
A big hole appeared on the trunk again, and the Pure White Tree twitched more and more violently, and it could no longer write steadily.
"I think you take me for a fool, Izabella."
Hitzfeld grinned, his tone colder than ever before.
"All of this guidance is to make me eat the fruit here, and then you can control me and her to turn against each other, hate each other, and fight to the death..."
[impossible--]
The branches began to tremble again.
[You can't possibly tell—]
"Yes~" the girl stretched out her tone, "If it were someone else, your layout would be perfect."
"But it's a pity..."
“I come from that darkness.”
I'm afraid no one except Hitzfeld himself understands what this means.
Well……
This is actually due to her experiences in her previous life.
Whether it is the people of the Changxia world or the social system, the limitations of the times have blinded their eyes and made them unable to understand what is happening.
But for Esuan Hitzfeld.
No - it should be to Leng Qing.
Use various forms of media to control public opinion and set agendas for the public. This is to spread anxiety and disrupt order.
She has seen a lot of this kind of contamination and infiltration through communication.
“Wisdom can also be a primitive accumulation.”
With these words, Hitzfeld raised his gun again and aimed at the fruit that was shaking on the branch.
"Do you think I need to eat this to understand the truth?"
"boom!"
The fruit exploded.
"You're pathetic, Izabella."

Chapter 77: Outbreak 1
In Hitzfeld's view, the essence of newspaper wars is to use communication science to disrupt social order.
She didn't despise the media -- she didn't hate the existence of this channel. Because no matter what side effects it had, or even that some people said it was like a Pandora's box filled with evil, its most basic function -- spreading information -- was enough to erase all its flaws with the efficiency it brought.
The reason why modern society can develop so rapidly is closely related to the development of various information dissemination channels.
But she did despise... any attempt to manipulate people's hearts in this way.
Information dissemination channels are a kind of "powerful tool". In her opinion, people who master this kind of tool must have firm beliefs and outstanding moral responsibility, otherwise it is easy to give rise to heresy.
Because when the information dissemination channels are thoroughly laid out, the public is almost powerless to prevent information pollution.
People living in modern times, besides working, studying, exercising and doing things they love every day, must also use the Internet. They will watch news information from various channels, and various screenshots circulated in the group can be widely discussed.
This is normal, after all, humans are social animals. In this process, people can express their own ideas, condense their own values and personality, which is of great benefit to their physical and mental health.
But is the source of this information reliable?
In other words, is this information true? Even if it is true, could it be released by someone with ulterior motives to create public opinion?
Few people pay attention to these things. So public opinion is not actually controlled by them, and the public agenda has always been manipulated by these channels.
When Hitzfeld was still Leng Qing, she had been called cold-blooded more than once.
Now it seems that she was not really cold-blooded. Rather, she was rather cautious by nature and had a natural distrust of things spread through various information channels.
Thinking back to many years ago, when she was only a few years old, she didn't mind expressing her emotions as soon as she read the information.
But one day, she discovered that this was just an information cocoon woven by others. Her inner hatred for the instigator made her indifferent to all this, and naturally she appeared cold-blooded from the outside.
When others are still immersed in the emotion and want to discuss the topic, she will first think about the deeper meaning behind the topic.
But in fact, she also knows that her mentality is not very healthy.
If everyone in a society is like her, then this society is basically finished. Because all information will not be trusted at the first time, and all emotions must go through a layer of strict verification, the timeliness of information dissemination itself and the human touch of society will completely disappear.
But how to say it.
You can't expect a person who grew up without a father or a mother to be normal.
At least she knew what a truly normal person looked like.
At least she yearns for true beauty.
This is enough.
As for the newspaper war in Nanxinze, if we analyze the whole incident in detail, it can not be regarded as a mistake of the ruling class.
The royal family and the religious order certainly understood how important newspapers were. At least one-third of the newspapers in every city in Sara were controlled by them, and the other newspapers also needed to be monitored and governed by various departments, or simply open up their power to management parachutes.
This management does not necessarily take charge of things, but plays the most basic supervisory role. This shows how strictly they control the information channels.
Even though they knew nothing about communication science at that time and the concept had not even been born, they also understood the consequences of letting the enemy control this aspect.
It's just that the plan used by the Eclipse Church in this war is too profound.
First, they did not choose to interfere with any information dissemination by those newspaper media.
You royal family and religious groups can spread it however you want. Even if you want to brainwash the entire nation and tell them that the people of the Eclipse Church like to eat shit, it’s up to you.
The battlefield they chose was the novel section, which has never been taken seriously.
Before the newspaper war broke out, the greatest value of this section was to boost bottom-level sales.
Of course it is important to say that it is important, after all, it is related to income. But if you want to say how important it is, in the eyes of everyone, including the newspaper itself, it is just a tool to make money.
From the newspaper itself to the supervisors sent by the royal family to the parishes with supervisory responsibilities, no one felt that this section had the ability to disseminate information and express opinions.
This is the area they should least ignore.
If it weren't for Hitzfeld, no matter how many wise men and detectives came here to investigate, even until Nanxinze was completely destroyed like West Grant, if they were asked to trace back the principles and processes of the whole thing, they would not be able to explain it.
This is truly a short-sightedness and limited thinking caused by the real differences in times.
If you understand, you understand.
If they don't understand something, they will still be skeptical even if you explain it to them.
Harry Library.
hall.
The Pure White Tree's twitching became more and more violent.
Hitzfeld walked around it in a leisurely manner.
"Stop pretending," she said.
"If this form can be ended with just a few silver bullets, I don't believe you will give up your human body and become like this."
"…How did you find out it was mine?"
After a pause, the two holes on the tree trunk expanded further, and a huge, blood-red eye and lips and tongue that looked like those of a human grew out, moving them and starting to speak.
"Identity?"
Hitzfeld tilted his head slightly.
"Start from the moment you realize that your goal is to collect greed to nourish the Dark Serpent... This is the most important thing in all your plans, so there is no way that West Grant and the library are left unattended. In fact, you have always been here."
"That's it?"
"Combined with the fruit you sent me, it makes me begin to further suspect that the entire library—even this tree—is conscious."
"So all of your plans...were they all planned from the beginning?"
"Just barely... Actually, I think the real outbreak will have to wait a few more weeks. Those tips don't have to be used now, but it seems that you are more anxious than me."
"So that's it..."
The dryad—or more appropriately, Izabella—muttered.
"My mistake... My only regret is that I overlooked you, Esun Hitzfeld."
"You are more powerful than Master Schneiter thought."
"so……"
It grinned.
"I'm going to keep you here at all costs."
