Chapter 69: Fanaticism

Amanda and Lydia are clearly among the more gifted people, or to put it more bluntly, humans with a higher than normal sensitivity to magnetic fields, and can easily enter the sensing state under the guidance of Priest Lorel. This also surprised Li Jie a little, in order to ensure the close connection between the two Hearst and the sect, he was ready to guide Lydia personally, but now he didn't need it.

But that didn't mean he was idle, because there was a second, equally important goal, and he glanced at Amanda, who was relaxed and focused, and closed his eyes with a smile on his lips.

Amanda? It only took two or three minutes for Hearst to relapse into the familiar ethereal state, a soft, mysterious ripple silently appearing in her consciousness, and although it had no physical form, she could sense the ripple's presence. It is a perception that is detached from the five senses of hearing, smelling, seeing, touching, and tasting, which cannot be described in words, and is different from any ordinary experience, but it is certainly not an illusion.

If it's not really that magical, how can it be possible to attract people like Amanda? Elitists like Hearst participated. And at this moment, she was savoring, wandering in that magical sense, as if her mind began to diverge infinitely, completely integrated into the deepest consciousness.

But something unusual happened!

While initiation itself is an unusual thing for humans, this one is even more peculiar, different from Amanda's previous experiences. The ripples, which had always been calm and soft, seemed to have undergone some strange changes, not only in form, but more like seeking to have a deep communion with her. And in the absence of any reaction from her. It just disappeared without warning.

However, it didn't take long for Amanda to realize that she had made a mistake. Because the strange ripple did not disappear, but more like a drop of water melted into the sea, completely transformed into a part of its own consciousness, itself no longer existing, but it was omnipresent. It is as if everything about oneself is perceived by it, and the soul is completely merged, transcending all forms and wonderful reactions of consciousness, making people tremble and just want to open up their whole body and mind. Fall into something that has never been seen before in the world, and is a thousand times more beautiful than any sensory experience.

This kind of mysterious and mysterious feeling makes people intoxicated, sinking, lingering, and can't bear to give up.

Therefore, even though she had never heard of such a situation in the previous introductions and materials, Amanda did not open her eyes, but after a slight hesitation, she completely subconsciously let go of her body and mind without any discomfort.

She couldn't imagine that all the faithful present had received the ripples that had been emitted by the priestess Rorel. I am not the only one.

Amanda? Hearst and Flower? Marcos, Gilbert? Gordon, Lowell? Lockheed is a different person, they either have a strong ambition and a desire to be higher than human status. Either that, or you don't have a choice. And Amanda was very wary of Li Jie from the beginning. She is one of the few people who has a strong sense of emotion, and it is no wonder that she can become the heiress of the Hearst Group, and if she is forcibly mentally controlled, it is likely that her own consciousness will be damaged and she will become a pure puppet, which will greatly reduce her value.

Therefore, in order to dismantle the female Hearst's guard, Li Jie used the opportunity of this enlightenment ceremony to personally plant a brand for her, burying hidden hints in her heart. And Amanda? Hearst could only think that it was his own induction that had caused a strange change, and it was impossible to imagine that there was such a treacherous calculation in it, and it was impossible to guess that Bruce, who seemed to be suspicious of the Enlightenment sect, would be the real caster.

So when she opened her eyes again, in addition to the normal, if not more intense, sensory increase than the previous ones, there was a change that she was completely unaware ofβ€”her feelings for Bruce were not as repulsive as before.

In Amanda? Hearst's eyes, Bruce? Li, a peculiar man, seems to have turned into a huge colorful and beautiful aura, she can't see the gorgeous brilliance that these ordinary people can't reach, but she can feel the other's otherworldliness, so that she can't help but feel close, and wants to feel the vigorous vitality that overrides everything.

"Oh my God! It's amazing! I feel like I'm a lot more relaxed, this sense of color, sound and layering, it's like myopia is completely gone, no, far more than that, the whole world in front of me is completely different! ”

Lydia? Hearst felt the effects of the initiation ritual for the first time, and was so amazed that he couldn't keep his mouth shut at all, just like everyone else.

"I admit it was my bias before, it's a wonderful feeling!"

Li Jie opened his eyes at the right time and looked at Amanda with a smile, the latter's heart was beating violently, and she only felt that the man in front of her was full of magical charm, which made her feel close and couldn't help but want to indulge in it.

By the time they left, the atmosphere between the three of them had become much more harmonious, but they were quickly attracted by a shouting voice in the consulting room.

"Let me be clear! I don't want to go to the queue every week and wait for your notification. I don't care how much I sponsor you, but I have to follow my schedule! ”

A tall, thin man in an expensive suit is commanding the counselors, and that unquestionable, condescending attitude clearly sends a message to the surroundings that he is full of confidence and extraordinary status.

"Another one." Amanda? Hearst paused, furrowed his beautiful eyebrows and shook his head, apparently not the first time he had seen something like this. "Every time, I see a lot of people like this, hoping to get special treatment in the sect through their status or wealth, it's a crazy chase, but when we experience it for ourselves, we take it for granted."

"Oh? Would the denomination be unwilling? After all, so many clergy, staff, daily activities, and venues all require large expenditures, and only need to advance the positions of individual people a little, and they have no reason to refuse. Li Jie naturally took over the topic, and Lydia beside him also nodded. Even in her opinion, this is a very normal thing, the inequality of wealth and power will naturally divide people into classes, even if it is a variety of sects, it is difficult to avoid vulgarity, generally only in a slightly milder way, not so naked.

"There doesn't seem to be a similar precedent yet, and the Enlightenment sect is very special."

Amanda? Hurst glanced through the open door of the consultation room, and could clearly see that the hall that could hold hundreds of people was packed at this time, and there were hardly many free spaces, and everyone was crowded together with the others around them. Only the man in the suit who shouted loudly was a little vacant around him, but seeing the tall men with black sunglasses around him, he could also understand that it was obviously squeezed out by these bodyguards.

New York at the end of October is already very cool and doesn't feel hot at all. But in this overcrowded hall, the central air conditioner is still blowing cold air out, but no one feels cold and uncomfortable, which shows the degree of liveliness. Everyone is desperately sticking their heads out to tell the counselors, and countless arms are constantly waving in the air, reminiscent of the weeds that exude life in spring, just like that, desperately trying to grow upwards for sun, rain, and more soil.

The well-dressed and smiling counselors were busy answering the phone, each of them with at least two telephones in front of them, so they were talking about something almost from side to side, and they rarely had time to answer the questions of the believer in front of them immediately, so they could only keep raising their hands to signal the other party to wait, showing an apologetic smile.

"This ...... That's an exaggeration! Are these people all crazy? ”

Lydia? Hearst's eyes widened, as if she was frightened by the crowd and bustle, she had never imagined that a sect similar to counseling would have such an appeal to people. She had only seen a similar scene in front of the food bank, when the economy was down, and Americans who had paid rent and had no money to eat lined up to receive free relief meals.

However, there is an essential difference between the two, because the families, the elderly, and the unemployed who receive the meals are often silent, numb and mechanically lined up, and their expressions are invariably full of exhaustion, disappointment, and stiffness. And these squeezed Enlightenment believers in front of them, although their foreheads were beading with sweat, their necks and outstretched arms were unbearable soreness from being held high for a long time, their faces were always filled with joy, excitement and anticipation, and that kind of enthusiasm that could not be faked from the heart made everyone who saw it couldn't help but want to follow their footsteps and join this energetic ranks, to see what wonderful things were attracting them, so crazy.
