Chapter 63: Inside the Granary

Even though it is officially recognized as a cult group, the leader of the Order is not the ill-intentioned villain with bad intentions engraved on his face as I imagined, and his false impression is not very reliable as my first impression of the followers of the Order, which proves that I am still a little naΓ―ve to take it for granted, which is really unacceptable. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although I am naΓ―ve, I think there is some truth in the determination of the general nature of a cult group with clear doctrines, but the believers and leaders of today's assembly have hidden their true natures under the appearance of hypocrisy, and Miss Maruko's teachings echo in my mind from time to time.

On closer inspection, the head of the Order, Mr. Dodogan, was about forty or fifty years old, and his messy hairstyle gave him a real hint of an apostle's temperament, but those who had been engaged in religious careers for a long time, if not officially recognized, should have some characteristics that were more or less unusual than ordinary people.

The other two grey-robes looked less holy, more like Roman soldiers disguised as the Twelve Apostles.

Mr. Dorigan conveyed to Edokawaichi the joy and relief of the expansion of the faithful and seemed to deepen his trust in his false believers. After a few more happy words of blessing to each other, the unemployed young man Edogawa bowed slightly to him and stepped back, then turned back to the seat next to me.

"Miss Fran, do you think Madwagan is an ordinary man?"

"Hmm...... How do you define ordinary? I said, "Of course, there is a difference between those who have done something in the evil sect and the righteous one, and ordinary people. ”

"From this point of view, Mr. Fu Daogan is indeed not ordinary, in fact, the leaders of other cult groups are not as pure as this one in my opinion," Uncle Edogawa actually said good things about the leader of the cult, but the good words ended here, "and he knows how to deceive himself better." However, whether I am talking about ordinary or not is just to distinguish whether the other party has cultivation mana or not. ”

"You don't trust your own judgment? Didn't they all use spells that changed their appearance and clothing? ”

"Out of an abundance of caution," he said, "haven't I also met such a legendary ascetic as Miss Fran, perhaps Mr. Fragan is a man of sophistication beyond my comprehension?" ”

"No, he should be just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who has no cultivation power," I thought for a moment and said, "To a certain extent, even if the cultivation can be disguised, there is no need to disguise it for the masters, this is related to the subtle cultivation of the general nature I can't describe to you clearly, in short, I think he is an ordinary person." ”

He exhaled, seeming a little disappointed.

"If a superior person deliberately disguises himself among the faithful," I told him, "there must be a great change, or a great change is about to happen." ”

He wondered, "What is the point of a sect leader who should use miracles and unusual means to attract believers, and instead of using true supernatural powers, he resorts to pretending to be a god and a ghost?" ”

"Isn't it necessary to slap the earth into pieces?"

He was dumbfounded, "Are you kidding?" ”

"A joke, of course."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Prepare to hear Mr. Dogan preach," Edogawa turned his face away from me, "I don't see a contact person today, so it seems that he won't come." ”

"None of the believers of this sect feel like they're wealthy," I said, "and the liaison will receive good things here?" ”

"Yes, as far as I've observed, among the four sect groups related to the behind-the-scenes organization, the True Saint Sect has the fewest items to turn in."

"Oh......"

"It is also because of the particularity of their beliefs, which are neither monotheistic nor traditional belief in natural spirits, which are a mixture of monotheism and the godlessness of Buddhists, and put people in the position of obedience to the gods between existence and non-existence, and whether people are noble no longer comes from their birth, but from their belief in the dragon god, and people here do not pay much attention to the collection of external objects," he whispered, "This is also the reason why the True Holy Sect is different from all other cults, they are rare cult groups that do not demand wealth." ”

"Godless?" I noticed his description.

"The dragon god never appeared," he said, "except for the vain incarnation of Ferdagan, even the doctrine preaches that the dragon god does not appear, but only incarnates or sends apostles, and what difference does it make to say that it has or does not?" This is actually an atheistic religion, and the weather vane of believers is not the dragon god, but the person who incarnates the world. ”

His point of view is quite fresh, "eh...... It seems to make some sense. ”

The unemployed young man sighed, "I've been mixed up with too many sects in the past few months, even if I don't want to think about it, I can't stop turning the sectarian concepts in my head, Miss Fran, don't take it seriously, there are gods like this, I think we all probably understand what is going on." ”

"Oh?" I was curious about his rhetoric, "Have you ever seen a true god?" ”

"A true god? Is there anything like that in the world? Instead, he asked rhetorically, and then replied, "When you perform so-called miracles, is it different if you are a god or not, and whether you are a real god or not?" ”

"What's the difference...... Of course," I said, "well, it's a matter of opinion, and it doesn't matter what constitutes a deity." ”

He pointed to an inconspicuous corner and showed me a gray closed wooden box in the shape of a box, and he told me that it was the Order's donation box, and the peculiarity of this Order was that it did not force believers to donate at all, nor did it promote the idea that donations would be blessed, and that people were willing to give more or less voluntarily, although the liaison would also preach to the believers about the benefits of blessings by handing over strange antiquities, but the leaders of the Order would not agree. Edogawaichi believes that the leader of this order and the connection between the organization behind the scenes is the weakest of the four sectarian organizations.

Sitting upright and observing for a while, the Dragon God Order did not see more famous for the time being, and the believers who were moving freely in the open space outside the warehouse had gradually entered the granary church, each finding a place to take a seat, the atmosphere and order in the field were orderly and peaceful, and even the fanatical atmosphere exclusive to the cult could not be seen, at this time I admitted Edogawaichi's statement, this strange sect that is not foreign is indeed very special.

However, I have to consider the question, if the purpose of a secular cult is not to make money, then what should it be? Because I have been in contact with a series of similar outsiders, such as the eldest lady of the Konoe family and her cheap stepmother, the behavioral goals of outsiders seem to me to be mostly outside of the word Lili, so if the goal of a group that should be more profitable is not the traditional Li, the purpose of its behavior may be very simple.

Before coming to the farm, Uncle Edogawa seemed to have vaguely reminded me that the basic teachings of the group might indicate that the goals of the leader of the order were likely to be even crazier than Reika Konoe's crazy ideas.

Not...... Inciting social contradictions and artificially creating widespread hostility? Can this bring more benefits?

Listen, I thought, the people in the granary were all seated, two shorter protectors stood on both sides of the statue, one on the left and one on the right, and the leader, Mr. Fu Daugan, came to the statue with a strong cottage smell, and raised his hand to press down to signal the parishioners to focus their attention on him.

"May the gods bless us," his voice was loud and deep, and his words were mellow and powerful, even if he didn't do this business, he was not afraid that he would not be able to support himself, I thought nonsense, "Today is Mu Yao Day, an ordinary working day, I am glad that you have put aside your heavy labor and work for the time being to listen to the message of the dragon god, and I will bless you on behalf of the dragon god." ”
