Chapter 40: Divine Punishment
"Senior, look, the people from the special search department have come out of it!"
"What...... Why did we come to such a place after running so far...... Is the police department living in it now?"
……
Aizawa and Hanagata were sitting in the car at the moment, quietly looking at Urashima and Miki in the distance with binoculars, until the two got into the car going down the mountain. Aizawa started the car again, and then continued to follow the other man.
When Urashima and Miki's car gradually entered Hanakoganei Station in Nishitokyo, the two stepped out of the car and expressed their gratitude to the staff of the Church of Light of Light who sent them down the mountain, and the car that sent them down the mountain gradually drove away from the road near the station after the man in the car returned the salute to the two.
After seeing each other leave, Aizawa and Hanagata immediately drove the car over, and it was not until the car stopped beside Miki and Urashima that the windows slowly lowered.
"Want to take a ride?"
"Aizawa ...... Senior, it seems that you really have a heart and soul with us!"
After Miki responded with a slight teasing, she and Urashima carefully looked at the crowd around the station, and then quickly got into the car.
"Miki-chan, the police department ran to be an internal response without even saying hello, it's really embarrassing for us!"
"I'm sorry, but ...... It's ridiculous to curse and kill people, don't you want to know how it all happened!"
"Uh...... Could it be that the police department has already found any clues?"
"I haven't found anything special yet, but...... The police department asked us to help him investigate what is going on in a place called the Forbidden Zone in the Valley of Light!"
"Excuse me, can you tell us more about it?"
"Hmm...... You should know what the main source of income for the Church of Light Truth is!"
"This ...... It's like holding a puja and then peddling some religious products, such as holy water...... Something like that!"
"We've found that too, but ...... We don't think we can sustain the huge expenses of this church with just that little income. You know, the Valley of Light is located in the middle of the mountains of Yukiri, where it was impossible to start a farm. But...... The Church of Light Truth has gathered all the most core members of the church there. With that in mind, I think the Church of Light Truth may have some other unknown means of making money......"
"So...... We're going to investigate the forbidden land!"
"Yes, Urashima and I went to investigate the financial situation of the Church of Light Truth, maybe there will be some important discoveries!"
……
Almost at the same time that Miki, Aizawa and the others were dividing their labor in the car, the cadres in the Valley of Light were respectfully listening to the teachings of the sect leader Ninety-nine Hasumi at this time.
"In order to better spread the brilliance of the God of Light to ordinary people who are unable to bathe in God's care, we have to send some cadres in the sect to leave the Valley of Light and go to the homes of some ordinary people whose hearts are dedicated to our religion, and come to preach, so ...... This time, we're going to come up with a choice!"
"Deacon Lianyi, do you have any candidates to recommend to me?"
"Uh...... Sect Master, during this time, everyone's work has been very serious, and many Catholics have put a lot of effort into the construction of the Valley of Light, so ...... From that point of view, I think everyone seems to be a good fit for you. But...... Considering that our Light Shinrikyo is now at a critical stage of its development, I think ...... Perhaps some of the faithful who have previously excelled in network management should be allowed to take up the missionary work this time!"
"Oh, there's some truth to that! So...... Deacon Renyi, do you have any recommendations?"
"How about letting Mr. Sen's group go down the mountain, Mr. Mori used to work as a manager in a large company before, and ...... He is also the first group of parishioners to enter the Valley of Light to practice, no matter what aspect you think about, they are the best candidates to go down the mountain to preach!"
"Mr. Sen, this is a good candidate......! Mr. Sen, what is your opinion?"
"Master, it is my honor and duty to have the opportunity to bring the blessings of the God of Light to the world......
Seeing Mr. Mori standing up, he gratefully bowed to the sect leader Ninety-Nine Lotus. Lin Xiu and other companions who worked with Mr. Sen on weekdays also hurriedly bowed their heads respectfully. Lin Xiuyi, on the other hand, looked at Mr. Sen with some doubts, and felt a little expectant and curious about the missionary matter.
……
When the afternoon meeting was over and everyone returned to their rooms, the group was in a state of ecstasy.
"Ah...... It's amazing! We finally have a chance to go down the mountain and relax!"
"yes...... It's been a long time since I've been to Tokyo, so I'm sure I'll have some fun outside this time and come back!"
"That's it...... I can't stand eating those tasteless vegetables every day!"
……
Just when everyone was looking forward to this trip down the mountain, Mr. Sen, who had been silent all along, suddenly said coldly to everyone:
"Hey, aren't you too optimistic about something, don't you know what will happen if you can't develop a new congregation?"
“……”
Hearing Mr. Sen's cold question, everyone immediately stopped what they were doing, and then looked at Mr. Sen with a sad face.
"That...... I don't think it will anger the god of light! Even if you really want to accept the divine punishment, it won't necessarily be like ...... ...... on the spot like that guy."
"Yes! But...... Who can be sure of the temperament of the God of Light?"
……
Just when everyone suddenly fell into a panicked atmosphere, Lin Xiuyi suddenly asked everyone with some puzzlement:
"Excuse me...... The divine punishment you just spoke of...... What the hell is it? It sounds like everyone is scared!"
"Newcomer, you don't know the power of divine punishment because you haven't seen it with your own eyes, and if anyone dares to disobey the will of the God of Light, then they will be sent to receive divine punishment...... Although there are people who will be forgiven by the God of Light, they must show their sincerity of repentance to the God of Light, otherwise, they will go crazy on the spot or die immediately!"
