Chapter 22: Brainwashing
Qin Ming thought that no one would believe such an obvious lie as Yi Shaodong, but what made him speechless was that Liu Dan completely believed it after hearing it, and after hesitating for a moment, he said:
"At the beginning, you can only join the group first, and those who need to join the group for more than half a year can become gods, and those who have been in the group for more than a year can become divine servants."
"What is the difference between a god and a servant?"
"The gods can see the statues of the gods, and the words of the servants of the gods will be blessed by the gods, and the gods will help you fulfill your wishes."
"Your title in the group is Servant of God, so God has helped you fulfill your wish?"
"Yes." Liu Dan nodded very affirmatively.
"What is your heart's desire?"
"Let me and Zheng Zekai be together forever. Let him love me forever and be there for me forever. ”
Hearing Liu Dan's wish, Qin Ming didn't know what to say, but Yi Shaodong said:
"The god you believe in is so powerful that you can even make your wishes come true.
Have the wishes of other servants of God been granted? ”
"Yes, their wishes have been granted, some have gained wealth, some have gained careers, and God has given gifts to everyone who believes in it."
Looking at Liu Dan's demeanor at this time, Qin Ming couldn't understand why a person would believe in such a low-level scam.
And believe regardless of time, occasion, or even one's own situation.
Liu Dan is now in prison, with the title of a murderer on his head, and he doesn't even know where his tomorrow is, and he still believes in the existence of a god.
This made him somewhat understand what Zheng Zekai said to them before, Liu Dan is really a simple and stupid woman.
It's no wonder that Zheng Zekai will break up with her.
"If you believe in God so much, why doesn't God come to your aid now?"
Qin Ming said sarcastically.
"Because God believes that I am sinless, that a sinless person does not need help, that my troubles are only temporary.
That's why God didn't show up to protect me. ”
"Don't raise a bar with her, this woman is obviously fooled, and we still expect her to get into that cult."
Yi Shaodong saw that Qin Ming always choked Liu Dan, so he leaned on Qin Ming's ear at this time and whispered a reminder.
Qin Ming nodded after hearing this, he is not an impulsive person, but he can't see such a simple truth, but Liu Dan still can't understand it, so he is in a hurry.
However, Yi Shaodong was a little surprised by Liu Dan's state, but he became the leader of the inquiry.
Step by step, a lot of news about that church was extracted from Liu Dan.
The church will have an in-person event every week, and there will be a prayer service for the deity and all the clergy.
Everyone will wear a mask and a black robe, and pray to the idol like a shaman in the West.
The location of the event varies, but it is usually held in the community along the wall.
It is only the specific location, and it is subject to change.
As for the organizers, they are the oracle administrators of the group.
Liu Dan was taken out of the interrogation room, Qin Ming leaned back on the chair and lit a cigarette and smoked it, Yi Shaodong glanced at him and asked with some puzzlement:
"Why are you a little uncool today?"
"It's not that I'm not calm, it's that I'm a little angry.
It's you, but it feels quite normal. ”
"I've seen a lot, can you not feel normal?
Being brainwashed is difficult for outsiders to understand, thinking how people can be brainwashed, even fools know that it is a lie, why the other party doesn't know.
Actually, this kind of thing really can't be said, it's like someone tells a joke, you laugh, I don't.
It's just that the other party didn't get to your point.
I grew up in a family, and I really don't see too many people in the family who have been indoctrinated with family ideas and been washed into idiots.
In fact, people are often the same as computer programs, they are not invulnerable, and there will always be weak areas that can be hacked into.
Once it is invaded, especially the mind, it is no different from a puppet.
It's not that smart people can't be brainwashed, only fools do, in fact everyone can be brainwashed.
You're still too tender, young man. ”
"Fuck off."
Qin Ming gave Yi Shaodong a blank look, then pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray and stood up from the chair suddenly.
"What are you going to do?"
"Go find Wang Chengyu. Ask him if he knows anything about the cult. ”
"Big brother, can you take a break, at least let me smoke this cigarette properly, right?
Don't we all have a major breakthrough, don't be in such a hurry. ”
"Then you can rest here, I'll go by myself. I have a task for you. ”
"Task? What task? ”
"Disguised as Liu Dan and inquired about the news in the group, I think the people in the group should not know about Liu Dan's arrest.
Give it a try, it's up to you to decide if you can solve this incident. ”
Qin Ming handed over the matter of inquiring about the news of the group to Yi Shaodong, he felt that Yi Shaodong should have no problem, and it just so happened that the two of them could also save some time by dividing into two ways.
There are dozens of people in the group, and the victims are definitely far more than Wang Chengyu and Liu Dan.
Perhaps death is just the beginning.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, Qin Ming saw Wang Chengyu again.
I don't know if it's because of the relationship he promised before, Wang Chengyu's mental state is much better than before.
"Are you here to take me out?"
This was Wang Chengyu's first sentence when he saw Qin Ming.
"Not yet.
I've come to you because I want to check with you.
Did you know about the Prayer Club? It's just a swarm. ”
Hearing this name, Wang Chengyu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said:
"I know. Why are you asking this? ”
"Are you from this group?"
"It's not." Wang Chengyu shook his head.
"You're not in this group?" Qin Ming was a little surprised:
"And how did you know about this group?"
"I listened to my mother, who was a member of the Prayer Society and went to the event every week.
He also dragged my dad to believe with me, but I never believed in that kind of thing, and I persuaded her not to believe that it was a fraud of money. But she didn't listen and scolded me.
My dad couldn't talk to her, so he left her to her way. ”
When Wang Chengyu said this, he seemed to suddenly think of something, but he was a little uncertain:
"I seem to remember where I went during the day on the day I had my nightmare?"
"Where?"
"On the side of the community along the wall road, it seems that my mother took me there. I don't remember exactly. ”
"Didn't you run away from home that day?"
"I forgot, but my mom called me in the middle and asked me to come over."
"Take you to that church?"
"I can't remember, I just know I was there that day."
Wang Chengyu's words surprised Qin Ming, or more incredulity, and after being silent for a while, he asked Wang Chengyu again:
"How's your relationship with your mom?"
