Chapter 57: The Disgusted Female Reporter
(Thank you "*GGQ*" for the reward and reminder, today's monthly pass is very powerful, let me brew it well, and work hard to complete the update tomorrow.) The handicapped party can't afford to be injured, and it's just hard to write, so I do my best. Rishi? Bates was completely passive in accepting the task, although she interviewed this emerging popular sect according to the requirements of the TV station, but she didn't believe in these things at all in her heart, so it was natural to be suspicious, and cautiously probed:
"It is said that the Enlightenment sect did not have a god of faith, so what did they rely on to attract such a large number of followers? There are so many people every day, the size of the sect must be very large, I don't know how much it charges? Maybe I can try it out when I have a chance. ”
Hearing what she said, Fleming was stunned for a moment, and then exchanged glances with several police officers, revealing a smile that implied a certain meaning.
Similar to the expressions on the faces of the few police officers in front of him at this moment, Rishi? Bates has seen a lot of it, and he hasn't used it less.
It's like when I was in school, I was a prom queen and a boy sought-after self chatting with my girlfriends about new topics, and then looking at the envious looks of those stupid ugly girls when they had a sarcastic expression.
So she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, especially such an expression, made in front of her by a few rookie police officers who were even excited to be interviewed, but in front of the camera, she couldn't show her dissatisfaction too obviously, so she could only continue:
"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with the question I'm asking? ”
On the side, there were still pimples on his face, and some childish young police officer Harry interjected:
"Miss Bates, you may not know much about it. Enlightenment sects charge much less than any other similar sect or counseling service. A spiritual channeling ritual. It lasts about an hour, and it has to be presided over by a real priest, usually ten to twenty people, and the fee is only 10 dollars. Even if believers are really poor, the priests sometimes waive their fees. ”
"$10?! Gratis? How is this possible! ”
Rishi? Bates' eyes widened, and she subconsciously exclaimed, obviously not believing it in her heart. With such a low fee, I am afraid that it will be difficult to maintain the normal operation of the sect. Don't the clergy have to eat?
Sheriff Fleming was apparently unhappy with her reaction, believing that the woman seemed to be a little suspicious of what they meant by lying.
"Miss Bates, we're all honest people, and we're all telling the truth, if you don't believe it, you can look into it."
"Oh! I'm sorry. I mean, it's amazing how much kindness is like that, and with such a small fee, can it support the proper functioning of the denomination? ”
Rishi felt that her brain was a little insufficient, and she suddenly regretted that she should have done her own background check more carefully. Originally, the producer and himself mentioned it at the time. She thought that it was just those so-called good deeds that fooled the believers in various names, and secretly scoffed at them. As a result, there were some minor mistakes. Now the interview has embarrassed me, and I can only hurry to make up for it.
"It's not just about fees, although the denomination doesn't advocate it, there are still many believers who are willing to donate spontaneously." Sheriff Fleming patiently explained, but halfway through the sentence, he saw Rishi? Bates' disapproving expression was revealed, and it was even more pronounced. This made him feel very uncomfortable, and his face turned cold. "The clergy are very strict in their daily lives, with almost no amateur pastimes, and are as respectable as true ascetics, and you don't have to worry about their penchant for money. As for why the sect attracts believers, you can ask the people over there. Miss Bates, it seems that you don't believe us, so you might as well find someone else to interview you. ”
With that last sentence, Sergeant Fleming turned and walked away, and several of the officers began to chat again with their vegetable soda, without paying any more attention to them.
Such an obvious closed-door so that Rishi? Bates was a little baffled and resentful. She didn't realize that there was anything wrong with herself, the so-called low fees, wasn't it just to make up for it by fooling the believers into spontaneous donations, but just to change it to a more pleasant statement, and she could see a shameless sect like this much more.
The interviewee forcibly left halfway and refused to be interviewed, such a strange thing, in the beautiful Rishi? Miss Bates was even more upset with the fact that she was rarely seen in her career, and decided to ask the believers who were standing in line at the doorway to see why they were willing to waste their time here.
And Sergeant Fleming and several police officers also had a completely different attitude towards her than at the beginning, not only did they no longer pay attention, but even talked about it in a low voice.
"This Rishi? Bates used to like her on TV, but I didn't expect it to be so dark......"
"Sure enough, you can't judge a person's appearance, anyway, I feel a little disappointed."
"Let her say hello to herself, the priests are so loved and respected in everyone's hearts, and then she will understand what a mistake she has made."
"Forget it, don't talk about it, just ignore her......"
Roberto? Fleming and several police officers were obviously very upset, so they would not tell the female reporter who doubted them, and if it wasn't for the time of duty, most of the officers would have joined the believers in the queue, waiting for the rare opportunity to guide the ceremony. In fact, Roberto? Fleming had already begun to review the tutorial materials and was ready to pass the test to become a religious monk.
Although these police officers have low salaries and cannot donate much denomination funds, they have a sincere love for the loving priests who are dedicated to their practice and help the believers.
Rishi? Bates didn't go far, these police officers began to talk about themselves unscrupulously, even if she didn't want to hear it, those words that got into her ears made her angry, and she almost couldn't help but turn around and teach a few people a hard lesson, but fortunately, she still had some sense and understood that during the filming.
Even so, looking at the photographer and assistant whose face was distorted and could barely hold back the snicker, she secretly felt ruthless in her heart, she must find the omissions of this hateful sect that deceived the believers and expose their true colors.
Incarnate the messenger of justice, the scrappy Rishi? Bates quickly crossed the street. Appears in a neat queue of people.
However, the closer I got, the more eerie the indescribable feeling becomes.
Obviously there were rows of black and oppressive crowds standing around her, but there was an unusual quiet, almost no one spoke, even if there was an occasional individual conversation, she kept her voice very low, as if she was afraid of disturbing something, which made her feel very depressed.
