The intentions of Professor Cazer and Professor Silver were already very clear.

Of course, they wouldn’t make a real key.

So they needed someone to “create something out of nothing”!

Of course, this was a more elegant way of saying it.

To put it bluntly, they need someone to spread rumors!

...

Dark was a person who had experienced the big bang of the information age, and knew more about "creating something out of nothing" than the two professors imagined.

This thing had no requirements for the authenticity of rumors, but attention should be paid to making the content attractive enough. In this way, even if the original rumor creator stopped promoting it, people would also spread the word around spontaneously.

On this basis, the point to be noted was to ensure that the cost of spreading rumors must be 0!

To let rumors spread wildly, the importance of "zero cost" was sometimes even greater than the content itself.

But if one wanted to make the rumors spread rampantly, one still needed to work hard on the content.

Generally speaking, content that was implicated in morality, making people feel that they were standing on a moral high ground, or that could bring huge benefits to people, were all "good content" that could make rumors spread rampantly.

Additionally, if the status of the rumor spreader was high, it could also be used as a support for the spread of rumors, making the rumors even more believable.

Regarding this point, Dark had a natural advantage.

It was easy for him to spread rumors.

It was just that once the rumors were exposed, he would also need to bear the resulting crisis of trust.

...

"What do I need to do?" After a long while, Dark still raised his head and asked.

There were still many ways to avoid the crisis of trust. Backpedaling, or kicking the ball to "a certain professor" were more practical methods.

Of course, it would be best if there was a "real thing".

This "real thing" could also be made into real bait!

Professor Cazer and Professor Silver were quite thorough in their thinking.

Professor Cazer immediately said: "I can make a fake key and store it in a place that is difficult to obtain, and then you will accidentally leak this piece of information. Mhm, you can directly say that you heard it from me ”

Dark thought for a while and said, “Then Professor, why do you want to make a key that can break the seal? To cause trouble to yourself?”

Professor Cazer shrugged and smiled: “This isn’t important, Demon. Once the rumor is spread wildly, no one will care about this. It’s like no one will think about why there is a treasure map for the maze’s treasure. Of course, we can’t make people think that there is a treasure in the secret passage. Otherwise, it will attract people who we don’t want to attract.”

Dark said: "Professor, this is difficult to control."

Professor Cazer: "That's why we need you."

Dark: "Let me think again."

The plan itself sounded feasible.

If it was just leaked casually, it may really attract people who needed keys to take the bait.

There were similar moments in many stories.

There was no need for an overly thorough design, the focus was on the word "demand".

But, what if the other party was not dumb?

After all, the sudden appearance of the "key" would make it easy for people to doubt its authenticity and whether it was a trap.

What kind of "demand" could overwhelm "doubt"?

What would make people know the risks and still take the bait?

"Perhaps, we can cast a long line. so that the bait will not seem so obvious?" Dark couldn't help wondering.

He turned his eyes to the Magic Chess on the table, clapped his hands suddenly, and said, "Professor, I have an idea."

Professor Cazer became curious: "What is it?"

Dark pointed to the Magic Chess and said, "Deliberately spreading the rumor will be too suspicious. We can use another method. For example, forge a Magic Chess piece.”

“Forge a Magic Chess piece?” Professor Silver asked doubtfully, “What’s the use of this?”

Dark explained quickly: “It’s very simple. We let the other party see what they want to see, and they will naturally take the bait."

Professor Cazer thought for a moment and said: "You mean, fake a magic chess piece based on Vlad the vampire?"

Dark: "Bingo!"

Professor Cazer pondered: "This may be better than my method. But we still don't know whether the other party is after the vampire in the secret passage. This probability is actually not that high."

"It’s not important.” Dark shook his head: "Since we want to attract the other party’s attention, why not make the thing bigger? We also need to know what the appearance of Vlad the vampire means. And, who is the vampire Vlad? Anyone who takes the bait, even if it is not the Invisible Man will also be someone involved. Only when we truly understand the origin of the vampire Vlad can we deal with it. As a part of the academy’s castle, the secret passage has great value and cannot be sealed forever."

Professor Cazer and Professor Silver looked at him with surprise.

After a while, Professor Cazer nodded and said, "What you said makes sense."

Dark continued: "Some news, we can also disclose a little bit appropriately. For example, many people are actually curious about where I was during the holiday, and who I saved to get an extra chance to make a wish with the Holy Grail. There is no need to admit or deny, not even the need to reveal why the vampire Vlad appeared in the secret passage. Of course, we also need someone to answer the question of why a real vampire, a creature that was supposed to be extinct a long time ago, would appear out of thin air in the inner secret passage of an ancient castle... There are definitely many people who are interested in this."

He paused for a while and then said: "It doesn't matter whether the person is after the vampire or not. We can make the person become interested in this vampire."

...

And that was how the plan was made.

When Dark left the office, he already had a set of Magic Chess in his hand.

One of the magic chess pieces, which was made based on the vampire Vlad, was quietly lying in the chess box.

Today happened to be the weekend.

With Valentine's Day approaching, the common room of the Noble House smelled of indulgence.

Dark found a place near the fireplace to sit down, and then unfolded the magic chess board on the round table, playing a set of magic chess pieces obtained from the two professors and the original twenty-one fixed magic chess pieces with himself.

As a beginner, his play was clumsy.

But relying on 21 powerful new magic chess pieces, he still defeated the same 21 old magic chess pieces.

In the end, his right hand defeated his left hand.

"Dark, where did you get a whole set of chess pieces?" Doron, who had been watching on the side, couldn't help being surprised.
