Chapter 65: Angels Are Demons
It is undeniable that Moria is a very chaotic slum, all the people who live here are extremely poor, and the houses here are all built by whoever wants to build, and there is no planning at all, but even so, Moria still has a main entrance, which is where Zhou Ming and they parked in before, and from there is the only straight street in Moria, which leads directly to the location of Moria's security committee.

Zhou Ming's rented house is facing this street, I still remember that when they came here, this street was still relatively empty, after all, it was noon, everyone basically hid at home to escape the heat, in addition to the people who had jobs still had to work during the day;
"What's the situation?" Zhou Ming asked the hyena suspiciously.
"I'm afraid someone from the Angels Society is here. The hyena replied, and in response to Zhou Ming's doubts, he then explained to Zhou Ming, "Sir, this angel society is from a church in Mexico City, they often send people to Moria to give alms, give some bread and clothes to the poor people of Moria, they have a high prestige in Moria, almost everyone likes the angel society." ”
"Of course, having free food to eat and free clothes to take is a gift from God to the poor people of Moria, and it is strange that they don't like anything. ”
Zhou Ming looked at the hyena and asked him, "But you don't seem to like this angel meeting, because of different beliefs?"
The hyena shook his head: "My beliefs are not so extreme, I just think that they will not be so kind to help the people of Moria, they must have some ulterior motives, such as taking away the good souls of these Moria!"
Zhou Mingshu smiled and said: "Although I don't believe in taking away the soul or something, but your previous thoughts are right, there is no love for no reason in this world, and I don't believe that angel will really do good without selfishness." ”
"It's very simple, every time they come, the money they pay for the journey, and the food and clothes they give to them, even if they are not worth much, when these things add up, it is a big expense. Zhou Ming continued, "I can believe that these missionaries are for the peace of their minds, but what about the organization of the Angel Society? If an organization wants to grow and develop, it is not enough to spend money meaninglessly, after all, faith cannot be consumed. ”
Zhou Ming finally said: "I am a businessman, I want to think from a business point of view, or it can be said that I live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, in short, if I had a department under my hand that spends money every day but cannot bring any benefits to the company, I would have laid off this department a long time ago, I believe that the bosses of the Angel Club must also think so." ”
The hyena agreed very excitedly: "That's right, sir, that's what I think, it's just that I'm stupid, I don't know how to describe it!"
Just when Zhou Ming was chatting with the hyena, the noise below was wave after wave, and it seemed that some changes had taken place.
The members of the Angelic Society, dressed in ordinary attire and led by a priest in a monk's suit, set up a table to distribute bread and clean drinking water to everyone in line, as well as a set of clean clothes.
"People of Moria, your suffering today is because you were born with more sins than others, but God is merciful, He can't bear to see you suffer, so we are guided by God to save you, but our ability is limited, only God can truly liberate your souls, you must believe in God, only then will you be allowed to go to heaven to serve God!"
The priest was chattering and preaching, and the poor people of Moria were reverently crowded in front of the tables of the Angels, one by one they were desperately squeezing forward like hungry ghosts, and they were also very religiously reaching out their hands to the priest and other members to beg for food and clothing, just like the ticket windows of domestic railway stations in this era.
But not everyone was so religious, because suddenly, a child jumped out of the crowd and shouted at the angel: "You liars, you are not giving charity at all, you are actually cheating, using your dirtiest means to snatch the last money left in the hands of the Morians, in fact you are the real demons!"
The child's cry shocked everyone like a thunderclap from the ground, and everyone looked at him in amazement.
The child's body was very small, but at the moment he stood there very firmly, like a small sapling fighting a hurricane alone.
The priest said to him: "Poor child, I do not know how you have been bewitched and why you have said such words, but it is forgivable, because you are only a child, and it is the poor creature behind you who dares to hide in the shadows and slander God." ”
Finally the priest stretched out his hand to the child: "So child, forget about those bewitchments, as long as you throw yourself into the arms of God, you can still be pardoned and enter heaven!"
"I don't want to enter any heaven, and I don't want to trust you liars!" shouted the boy again, "gentlemen, don't believe their so-called free alms, which are all your own money!"
If the child's previous words only shocked everyone, then his words at the moment subverted everyone's normal concept, and immediately caused an uproar on the scene; but everyone was surprised, but most people still had great doubts about his words, after all, didn't the people of the Angel Society distribute food and clothes for free?
"I know you're all hard to believe, but it's absolutely true!"
The kid insisted, "You all remember that the Angels come to Moria every month for a fundraiser, right?"
But isn't that a voluntary solicitation? It's not forced, it's a way for us to believe God redeems us. Someone retorted, and the others chimed in.
"But does the so-called voluntary solicitation take away a tenth of all our wealth? What is the difference between that and robbery?" the child still held his point, but this time he was met with more rebuttals.
This is not a robbery, it is all according to God's will, it is stated in the Bible, that the tenth of all the wealth of the world, whether it is agricultural or animal husbandry products or other wealth, is given by God, and we just give that tenth to God. ”
Someone else said, "Besides, we didn't give these donations, didn't Miguel and the other rich people also have their donations, and the same tithes of wealth as we do, which shows that God treats everyone equally, and that our donation is a redemption for ourselves, and only by giving these riches can we be forgiven the sins we were born with." ”
In the face of these people's words, the child shook his head desperately and said: "Wrong, you are all mistaken! In fact, the so-called donation is not a voluntary act at all, it is an outright scam!"
"Indeed, in front of us, Mr. Miguel and the other rich people of Moria donated a tenth of their wealth to the Angels, but after that, the Angels returned all their wealth to Mr. Miguel and them, and gave them some more money!" said the child, "I know it's hard to believe, but I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes......"
Listening to the child's loud accusations one by one, the hyena listening upstairs couldn't help but scold anymore: "Damn, I knew that there must be something wrong with those bastard angels, but I didn't expect them to be even dirtier than I thought!"
Compared with the hyena's indignation, Zhou Ming felt a little disappointed, because the angel would use the idea of Master Tang in the later movie "Let the Bullets Fly", and let the gentry take the lead in donating money, because only if the gentry donates money, the people will donate, and afterwards, the gentry's money will be returned in full, and the people's money will be divided into three or seven.
"Although this method is old, it is very practical, and the angels will still have such a fig leaf of generosity, if it is not for this child who stumbled upon this secret, I think this practice can continue forever. Zhou Ming commented.
"These abominable devils, they are so bad, Moria is already one of the poorest slums in Mexico, and the people here can't even eat every day, how can they bear to take away a tenth of their wealth from these people?
Zhou Ming patted the hyena on the shoulder and comforted him: "In the world of capital, there is no mercy, some are just pursuing interests, whether you are an old man or a child, he treats everyone equally." ”
"And," Zhou Ming looked at the kid below, "is it really okay for him to tell this secret like this?"
The facts quickly gave the answer, and when the child shouted out the secret of the Angel Society, a strong man immediately jumped out of the crowd, and he slapped the child in the face, knocking the child to the ground, and shouted: "Kill this bastard who has defiled God! He is not worthy of God's gifts, let alone forgiven by God! Everyone will join me in killing him!"
Under the call of this strong man, everyone else came up and beat the kid with punches and kicks, even though it was on the second floor where Zhou Ming was, his heart-rending screams could be heard.
And at this time, the priest, who had just called on people to be good and to believe in God's mercy, said: "Poor boy! He must have been blinded by the devil, otherwise how could he have uttered such defiling of God?
It was such a priest who had great devotion on his face, but who said such words in his mouth, it was really hard to believe if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.
The atrocity lasted for a while, and in the end, I don't know if these people were tired or the child was silent, but in short, the people dispersed, and the child was thrown there like a cat or dog that had been killed, and no one cared about it, and no one even wanted to look at it, as if it was a normal thing.
"Since no one cares, let's take care of it. Zhou Ming said to the hyena, and then took the lead and walked downstairs.
