Episode 172 Anti-columnist (1)
Vikir read the article Piggy put out.
[Exclusive] ‘The Hound of the Night’ The birth of an unprecedented villain that roams the ecliptic!?
-‘Night Hound’ has appeared again. The reality of the threat was not clearly revealed until recently, when the unprecedented fear of terrorism swept across the ecliptic. Whether the ‘Night Hound’ is an individual or a group, nothing has been revealed about its purpose, and no family, even the imperial family, has been able to find out about it. As a result, attention is focused on who can first uncover the identity of this heinous villain and who can arrest him.
The 7 great families of the empire, ‘Iron-Blooded Swordsman Baskerville’, ‘Magic Master Morgue’, ‘Changhai Song’ Don Quixote’, ‘Mystic Lady Usher’, ‘Extremely Poisonous Dark House Leviathan’, ‘Conglomerate Bourgeois’, and ‘Religious Anthem Quo Vadis’, reveal their strong will to arrest terrorists. A chase party was organized, and in the zodiac, a bounty of 0 billion gold was placed on the neck of the ‘Night Hound’…
And under the newspaper, you can see that several pictures moving due to magic are attached.
The newspaper was published by a large external newspaper, and among the tribes under the Quo Vadis family that were attacked by night hounds, only the branches of the Old Testament faction were selected and attacked.
Of course, the nursery school run by the Indulgentia family at the bottom was also photographed, and Bikir was also seen there.
Of course, Bikir appears in a small corner of the picture, and Tudor and Sancho are next to him. Piggy Bianca Sinclair and others were also filmed, so there was no room for a problem.
“Look at this! Bikir! We’re in the paper! There are days when I live and see the media!”
Piggy was very surprised to be featured as a passer-by in the corner of this small picture.
However, it blooms for a while and soon becomes sullen.
“Oh. Come to think of it, this is a picture of the worst disaster scene. To think you like being in a place like this. I’m the devil…” “Calm down. The person who
caused the disaster is bad, not you.”
Bikir patted Piggy on the shoulder and read the paper again.
“…Hmm. There’s no article about the saintess declaring a holy war.”
“Uh, strangely, that story wasn’t published in the newspaper. The story that only the Old Testament faction was attacked by Quo Vadis was also omitted. The history of the Old Testament faction’s sale of indulgences to social leaders and the details of the crimes they pardoned were also omitted. Why wasn’t it published? ?”
At Piggy’s question, Vickir put on a dry smile.
That’s what journalism is all about.
A trumpeter for the mighty.
A dog barking for a more appetizing piece of meat.
It is the law of the wild to bite only as much as you can handle.
‘It seems that Cardinal Humbert’s breath was that strong. Or did ‘above him’ move?’
No matter where you look in the newspapers, there is nothing that condemns the obscenity of the Old Testament sect.
However, in order to cover up this situation, they are just biting hard by making one of the ‘night hounds’ a public enemy.
And Piggy’s words that followed made Bikir nod his head.
“Oh, Vikir! Have you heard of this week’s club assignment? My advisor asked me to write a column one by one denouncing the terrorist act of ‘Night Hound’. It’s just a simple current affairs commentary. They say it will be published in the newspaper…”
It seems that the academy has also decided to cooperate with the hunt for the ‘Night Hound’.
‘For now, going along with this trend would be a good way to avoid suspicion.’
Bikir could criticize the ‘Night Hound’ better than anyone else.
Because he knows his evil deeds better than anyone else.
‘It’s a column…… Is it okay if I write absurd and absurd words when I hear it?’
Bikir took out a pen and held it.
And he started a tough(?) fight with himself.
* * *
A voice filled with anger flows through the academy’s newspaper department.
“Why did my column get killed?”
Dolores. The student council president of Academy Colosseo and the head of the newspaper club.
She was now calmly protesting to Morgue Banshee, the adviser to the newspaper club.
“…Are you asking because you don’t know?”
Professor Banshee’s ghastly eyes shine through his black hair.
A single-eyed spectacle hung precariously at the tip of his hooked nose.
Professor Banshee tossed the column Dolores had been writing on the desk.
Where is the true antipode of ‘Night Hound’?
-The number of tribes of Quo Vadis that were attacked by the ‘Night Hound’ exceeded 6. All of these tribes belonged to a group called the ‘Old Testament’, which is of the Quo Vadis family… Meanwhile, according to the data announced by the New Testament faction, behind this raid was a relationship between the Old Testament faction and some prominent figures. The black market… Meanwhile, at the scene of all these disasters, no physical evidence of the ‘murder’ left by the ‘Night Hound’ has been found so far… Professor Banshee said in a blunt tone
. .
“The Academy is politically neutral. We can’t let this biased review of current affairs out.”
“It’s biased! It’s a factual contribution!”
“Is it true? Didn’t Cardinal Humbert of the Old Testament deny all of this? And the social leaders on the ‘List of Indulgences’ also said it wasn’t true.”
“That’s a lie!”
“That might be the truth. Even if you lose one thief, you shouldn’t make ten innocent people. This must have been your usual belief?”
“…”
Dolores kept her mouth shut. He clenched his teeth so hard that a vein stood in his neck.
Professor Banshee continued.
“Also, everyone knows that you, the student body president of the academy and the head of the newspaper club, are the saints of Quo Vadis, a religious chant that is at the heart of this controversy. Also, the fact that the Quo Vadis family saints generally belong to the New Testament sect.”
“…”
“Can you go out and write a biased article like this? Can’t you?”
Then, a vein formed on Dolores’ forehead.
She opened her mouth to Professor Banshee.
“According to the academy’s rules, ‘all students admitted to the school are equal’ and ‘we are not influenced by status outside the academy’.”
“…”
“Even though I belong to the Quo Vadis family and belong to the New Testament sect, that is only a status outside the academy. While I am a student at the academy, I am just a natural Dolores and a mediocre student at the academy. You are free to express your opinions about Quo Vadis as well.”
This time Professor Banshee kept his mouth shut.
“…”
“…”
The eyes of Dolores and Professor Banshee collide.
Then Professor Banshee sighed.
“Okay. I admit it.”
“……?”
As Dolores tilted her head, Professor Banshee frowned.
“The Quo Vadis family sent an official letter to the academy.”
“An official notice?”
“Yes. These are the reporting guidelines for this article.”
“……!”
press guidelines. It is to predetermine the direction of the sidewalk.
Professor Banshee shook his head.
“These articles are mostly told to focus on the horrific acts of terrorism committed by the ‘Night Hound’ and the interviews with the victims. Keywords such as ‘Quo Vadis’, ‘Old Testament’ and ‘New Testament’ were excluded as much as possible or removed altogether.”
“Nonsense! That’s what you’re trying to control the academy’s neutrality!”
“Anyway, that’s right. The dean is also quite perplexed.”
“Is Cardinal Humbert that strong? Enough to put even the head of the academy in trouble?”
“If it was only Cardinal Humbert, there would be no way he would have listened to me in the first place, right?”
At that, Dolores’ expression hardened.
Above Cardinal Humbert. There is only one such being in Quo Vadis.
Pope. Among the classical saints, she is the oldest and possesses noble divine power.
‘……What about him?’
Even if everyone else has fallen, he will not lose his integrity.
But how is this happening?
‘I’ve heard a lot of people say that the pope’s judgment has become a little blurry because he’s aged a lot lately… Could it be that Cardinal Humbert is taking advantage of that opportunity to blur his eyes and ears?’
Dolores has new concerns.
When she was silent, Professor Banshee tapped the article on the desk with his finger.
“And what… Aside from all these circumstances, your column is not suitable for publication in the newspaper in the first place. It is too politically biased. Reading it, I cannot get rid of the impression that I am secretly siding with the night hound.”
“Then, what are you planning to put in that vacancy? Promotion of a new film released by the theater club? Naphtali’s famous scene from the sports club? The breathtaking backside of a model on the cover of an academy magazine?”
“Don’t be sarcastic, Dolores. I’m a professor. You’re a student.”
Then Professor Banshee opened a drawer and pulled out a piece of paper.
It was one column.
“…”
Dolores’ eyes narrowed.
‘Night Hound’
– ‘Night Hound’ has crossed the line. The crime of scorning the imperial family and the 7th generation family reaches the sky… If you listen to the cry of countless people who have been harmed unjustly… I will bring you to the judgment seat… I can confidently say that the writer who witnessed the wreckage of the ‘Night Hound’ on the night of the disaster at the Indulgentia Nursery School… now. Giving up right away and stretching your neck and waiting is the last chance to greet peaceful words!
Professor Banshee said.
“I’m thinking of putting this column in the newspaper instead of yours.”
“…It’s a crude text that only appeals to emotions without evidence, objectivity, or probability. The expression is ambiguous and the emotions are excessive.”
Dolores spoke with an unusually strong vocabulary.
Perhaps these are the worst expressions she can utter.
But Professor Banshee shook his head with a crooked smile on one side of his mouth.
“I don’t think this article is very well written either. But it’s appropriately criticized, appropriately appealed, and appropriately agitated. That’s why it’s the most appropriate for this situation. Besides, it’s an eyewitness account, so it has its own credibility. ”
“…”
“Anyway, be aware of it. The midterm practical evaluation is coming soon, so work hard. A student’s duty, after all, isn’t studying?”
Professor Banshee got up and walked past Dolores and out of the room.
Dolores bit her lip.
The last cataclysm in the Indulgentia family. It’s embarrassing for her, having spent that night with her nocturnal hound.
‘Night Hound is not bad! What’s worse is Quo Vadis and the demon that lurks within!’
How many more demons are there in the world?
How hard has the night hound been fighting, and how many more will he have to fight?
‘You can’t help it, but you’re trying to hinder and oppress it…’
However, there is no way to reveal the reality of the devil, its intrigues, and those who are being used without knowing it.
Even if there is, it takes too long.
The night hound I had met before had said in a tone that time was running out.
Due to the frustrating conversation I had with Professor Banshee today, my understanding became clear at once.
Why did he become a murderer and why did he risk his life to kill the demons one by one?
“I can’t. I have to help him too.”
No matter how much you write a column to side with the night hound, it doesn’t really help.
It was time to grab a knife, not a pen, to help him since he had come down from his hometown to the press guidelines.
“I’d rather find the night hound on my own. See the true face and know the name so I can help.”
Saint Dolores made up her mind. He decided to go meet the Night Hound himself.
To do so, we had to gather as much information as possible.
Those related to the statue of the Hound of the Night.
“…”
Dolores’ gaze turned to the paper on the desk.
It was the column Professor Banshee had chosen instead of hers.
A one-color article that vehemently criticizes the night hound.
Dolores frowned at the article.
It was a low-level article that I didn’t want to see, but just one phrase caught my eye.
‘Night Hound’
– ‘Night Hound’ has crossed the line. The crime of scorning the imperial family and the 7th generation family reaches the sky… If you listen to the cry of countless people who have been harmed unjustly… I will bring you to the judgment seat… I can confidently say that the writer who witnessed the wreck of the ‘Night Hound’ on the night of the disaster at the Indulgentia Nursery School… Giving up right now and stretching your neck and waiting is the last chance to greet peaceful words!
“You mean you saw it yourself?”
For context, when the author of this column witnesses the Night Hound, it must be right after all the catastrophe has ended.
That meant he had seen the Night Hound more recently than Dolores.
‘Maybe you’ve witnessed the face behind the mask of Mr. Night Hound.’
Dolores became impatient.
If this column appears in the newspaper, many reporters will probably come to interview the contributor.
Fortunately, Professor Banshee had anonymized the column’s writers to prevent this, and Dolores was able to find out who the contributors were to the column, which hadn’t been published in the paper yet.
‘It’s an abuse of authority, but it can’t be helped!’
It is necessary for justice.
Dolores flips through the column to find the name of the person who wrote this article.
Eventually, she found a familiar name there.
