“…… The biggest problem of the Eutheistic Religion is the lack of unified, perfect, and systematic doctrines, and the lack of religious texts to regulate the behavior of believers, and this result is that the localization of the Eutheistic Religion around the world is extremely strict, and many extremist organizations interpret the Eutheistic Religion in their own way, using it as a tool and thus causing a lot of tragedy. Nor is there any verbal condemnation of these monastic distortions, which cannot but be taken into account - or political factors other than religion - ......"

"Go to the Task Force Headquarters."

Ling Yu jumped into the assistant seat of an assault car and handed a magnetic card handed to him by Jiesi to the driver next to him, although the driver was surprised why this assault infantryman with only the rank of sergeant and the corporal who climbed into the back seat had such permission, but he still faithfully carried out the order after verifying the authenticity of the card.

The car passes through Plaza de Mayo, home to the Knights' Task Force, the main base of the humanitarian rescue team, to the east of the Plaza de Mayo, where the former Argentine presidential palace is one of the few buildings to have been restored after the bombing, which housed the government agencies of the municipality of Buenos Aires, and further east, east of Av Paseo Colón, is the heavily guarded port area of the ACA.

As for the west side. In addition to the danger of ruins, sporadic gunfire and occasional explosions can be heard even in May Square, where more than a million people live in an extremely dangerous environment, where gangs fight, radical believers of various organizations that support the ACA or the Allies and the Order's hermitage are constantly engaged in bloody warfare, while the ACA soldiers in Minato watch their lives disappear through a wall.

Ling Yu and Logan jumped out of the car, used another chip with genetic identification to cartoon the guards of the headquarters, and entered the three-story building.

"Yo! You're coming! ”

Jeunese was still smiling and energetic, but Linya seemed to be a little preoccupied - although she laughed quickly, it was rare for Linya to have a lower vitality index than Jeunse.

"What? Missed me? Logan stepped forward and patted Linya on the shoulder. The latter rarely did not fight back. Just glared at the blond youth.

"I'll go sort out some Wen Jiàn first, and I'll see you later."

Linya frowned, then turned to leave, Jesse was slightly silent. But still smile in return.

"See you later."

"What's wrong with her?"

Wait for Linya to go away. Logan turned. Asked Jie Si softly.

"It's nothing, girl's mind," Jess obviously didn't want to say more. So he changed the subject, "It's prayer time, it's not over yet, you guys go change your clothes first, and then gather in the main conference room on the third floor." Jiesi made a round, but she said it to Ling Yu.

"Hmm." Ling Yu nodded, as if he was still thinking about Linya's abnormal state, but he still picked up the bucket bag and moved his footsteps, pulling Logan into the locker room.

***

"Speaking of which, I've never seen you pray?"

Ling Yu still liked this black jacket more than the strange military uniform, and the young man who was stretching his body walked to the front of the conference room and saw Jiesi standing against the wall.

"I'm a heretic."

Ling Yu felt a little helpless as she said something that sounded like a strict thing with a smile on her face, and he walked up to Jiesi, also leaning against the wall, listening to the faint sound of prayers coming from inside the wall.

"Speaking of which, I don't know anything about this religion founded by scientists."

Ling Yu shook his head and said half-jokingly, "Monotheism or polytheism?" ”

"Hmm, you can't be strict, maybe it's more monotheistic?" Jesse shrugged, "You're asking the wrong question. ”

"I'd be happy to answer your question," Suddenly, the door to the left of the two of them opened, Ling Yu looked up, and a middle-aged white man of about 35 years old in blue knight armor walked out of the room. Payne, deputy captain of the 4th Cavalry of the Privy Cavalry. ”

"Ling Yu." As if he had heard this name somewhere, Ling Yu stretched out his hand and shook the hand of the middle-aged white man, and the two of them shook hands and took a step to the side, making way for the other knight believers who had completed their prayers in the conference room to rush out.

"Your Excellency Sauron should have mentioned my name when you first went to Iceland. The Chief Knight of Miele is my subordinate. As if to see Ling Yu's thoughts, Vice Captain Payne turned his head to look at Jiesi and gave an explanation.

"You're really bothered to have such subordinates." Ling Yu had a solemn expression on his face, then glanced at Jiesi with a wicked smile, "The Knights should award you with an award for outstanding contributions." ”

"I didn't know you were such a humorous person" Payne smiled and shook her head at Jesse, who was still smiling but how she looked at it, before changing the subject. "Do you still need me to answer any questions about the Cult of the True God?"

"Please." Ling Yu made a gesture of please, obviously the three of them didn't mean to stand here and chat, but walked into the conference room, which was already empty.

"Before I begin, allow me to ask, what do you think of God?" Payne sat on the couch next to the long table in the conference room and looked at Ling Yu.

"Omniscient and omnipotent, the gods of monotheism generally have absolute authority and omnipotence, while the gods of polytheism and primitive religions are generally a little more personified, I don't know the specifics." Ling Yu gave an ambiguous answer.

"Very well, so do you think that we are gods for the bacteria in the petri dish, or, more advancedly, the guinea pigs that are real?"

"If they can develop intellectually to the level of religion, I think it should be." Ling Yu nodded.

"Very well understood. For the guinea pigs, we determine their space to move, give them food, give them shelter, save them from the laws of nature, decide their life and death...... Most importantly, we can do a lot of things that seem incredible to them. Payne squinted his eyes and explained, his attitude kind and not disgusting Ling Yu.

"So, you think, prehistoric civilizations are researchers. And we're guinea pigs? "Ling Yu probably understood what Payne meant." Magic that can be systematically articulated is science, and science that is taken out of context is magic. ”

"Not exactly," Payne shook his head slightly, "the faith of the Knights." It did not arise because of the omnipotence of prehistoric civilizations. It's more. Arising from duty to humanity. ”

"Jeunese told me this," Ling Yu continued to nod, "to protect all of humanity from the misuse of prehistoric civilization's technology. ”

"Therefore. The basic doctrine is divided into three points and are the dogmas that we believers should adhere to, namely, revelation, salvation, and protection. ”

"Revelation, i.e., the continual reading and study of God's heritage with reverence; Forgiveness, that is, when human beings abuse God's heritage, convey their will to ask God for forgiveness; To protect is to be a guardian to prevent the misuse of God's heritage. ”

That is to say...... You believe that your prayers can be ...... God, that is, prehistoric civilizations heard? Ling Yu frowned, "Do you have a way to deliver information?" ”

"Yes, you can understand that this is the criterion for distinguishing whether you are a believer or not," Payne nodded, raised his right hand and drew a triangle on his chest, considering the prehistoric civilization's love for triangles, Ling Yu guessed that this should be a religious action like "crossing a cross" or "folding hands", "We believe that it was God who gave the 'Ark' to mankind at a critical juncture, and our Qiē, the earth, the solar system, and maybe even the entire universe, are just the products of God." ”

"Hmm, did God create the world? I feel that the aura of monotheism is relatively heavy. Ling Yu shook his head, not in denial, but with emotion.

"However, it is not a complete monotheistic religion, we believe in a group, and perhaps even a society." Payne obviously couldn't make a strict classification on this point, "But the hermitage side may be a little more religious and monotheistic in comparison." ”

"Suffering always breeds religion." After being silent for a long time, Jiesi, who was standing on the side, shook her head lightly and sighed, "If you can give those who are struggling in suffering some hope to live, I think it doesn't matter even if it's a religious method." ”

"Hmm......" Ling Yu nodded ambiguously, took a deep breath, and seemed to be about to say something when there was a knock on the door of the conference room.

"Please come in."

"We're done preparing for departure, and here's some written text, Vice Captain Payne."

Linya and Logan pushed the door in, and the flaxen-haired knight girl walked into the room with an electronic jiàn clip, performed a knightly salute, and then handed the wen jiàn to Payne.

"Very well, Senior Knight of Paterson, I'll leave it to you here," Payne signed his name, and then turned his head to look at Jesse - in terms of rank, Jess was the highest of the three, and in terms of position, the chief knight who was whipped to the end was the lowest.

"Okay," Linya nodded, then closed her eyes and placed her hand on her left chest, "May we gain the understanding of the true God." ”

"May we have the understanding of the true God."

Payne and Jeunse returned the salute at the same time, but Ling Yu noticed an interesting detail, judging from the expressions of the three of them, Payne was relatively indifferent, Jeuny was obviously just perfunctory, but it was Linya, who seemed extremely pious.

Turns out that she is also a senior believer?

Ling Yu came to the conclusion that this was the first time he had seen Jeuny and Linya perform religious ceremonies—it seemed that because Linya knew that Jeuny didn't believe in this thing, she didn't usually talk about it with Jeuny.

"Well, by and large, there are still some troublesome things to do before we investigate."

While Ling Yu was still thinking nonsense, Payne had already left the conference room, and Jiesi had already taken over the electronic document folder.

"I'm betting that we'll have to do a lot of hard work before we start investigating." Logan smacked his lips, "Your girlfriend is really good at 'rational use of resources'." ”

"There's no harm in doing something good, especially if you're in debt."

Although he said this, Ling Yu looked at the long supply list, and his scalp was a little numb.

*****

"So, it's an opportunity."

Just when Ling Yu and the others were planning the route for the distribution of relief materials, in the "Rose Palace" behind the May Square, the ACA South American Administrator, Robert Jr. Taylor is standing in front of a huge glass window with a red wine, the former Argentine presidential palace, the "Rose Palace", the only building that has been properly restored after the bombing of Buenos Aires, and which is now the seat of the government offices of the autonomous state of Buenos Aires - seemingly sandwiched between the camp of the Knights and the ACA's control district, to make these bureaucrats feel safe.

"It is indeed a great opportunity to restore the glory of the city." Behind Robert Jr., an old man with a gray beard, the current governor of the Autonomous State of Buenos Aires, Simpson . Opa nodded, "We should have done this twenty years ago, but it's a shame the damn 'evolutionists'. ”

"In any case, the foundation of the association is in South America, and when we have these things in our hands and have enough capital to compete with the alliance, we will not need to rely on these 'evolutionists'."

Robert Jr. gritted his teeth, apparently referring to the "Society" rather than the "Society" referring to the Dallas Petroleum Association, what Marshall called "the undead of the last century." ”

"Everyone has their own price, and only this one has been the same for hundreds of years," Governor Simpson said indifferently, after all, he is twice the age of Robert Jr., "War, the future of mankind is always determined by interests, not a few superheroes." ”

"That's why my family chose you, dear Mr. Opa." Robert Jr. turned around, smiled and raised his glass to greet Governor Simpson, "Those supermen have made many people misunderstand the definition of strength, but you are well aware of the nature of power. (To be continued......)
