There was no special criminal investigation department in the base, let alone criminal investigators, Chu Zhongtian directly took the believer to the scene of the murder, pointed to the corpse and asked, "Did you do this?" β
"I did it." Unexpectedly, the murderer replied without hesitation. "He's damned."
Such an arrogant attitude made Chu Zhongtian wave the stick in his hand fiercely, but Leng Su'an stopped him.
"Why?" Leng Su'an asked.
"How dare he slander the Lord, and dare tarnish the name of the Lord with his filthy words, and he must die!" The murderer said loudly. "Blasphemers must be punished!"
This reason leaves people dumbfounded, what is it? Fanatics? Inquisition? Do we live in the Middle Ages?
Chu Zhongtian opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't say the words when the words came to his mouth, in the last days, he had seen and heard many unbelievable reasons to kill, but he never thought that someone would kill for such a reason.
"Let's control him first." Leng Su'an said with a sigh.
"I'll talk about it after Lin Chuan and Lin Li finish talking." He patted Chu Zhongtian on the shoulder and said. "Block the news for a while."
Dying is not a big deal for him, but now that this matter has obviously risen to the level of Cheng DΓΉ, who must be handled by Lin Chuan, he must think about how to protect himself in this matter, or find a way to make a profit.
It all depends on Lin Chuan's attitude towards these believers, which also determines whether his investment in Lin Li is worth it.
"Are you crazy? What are you doing all this for? Lin Chuan yelled at Lin Li, the more he thought about it on the way back, the more angry he became, and after leaving the uncomfortable place and not seeing those ignorant believers, he aimed all his anger at Lin Li.
If he doesn't have a reasonable statement. Lin Chuan will kill him.
"This matter has nothing to do with you." Lin Li replied lightly.
"Nothing to do with me?!" Lin Chuan slowly tightened the hand on his neck, and Lin Li's face turned red.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough......" When Lin Chuan let go of his hand again, he couldn't help but lie on the ground and coughed.
"What do you say? Nothing to do with me? You try again! β
"I'm sorry, but it really didn't concern you in the first place." Lin Li slowly got up from the ground and shook his head. "Do you know them? Do you have an impression of any of them? Have any of them ever tried to get anything from you? β
Lin Chuan flew through his mind. He knew everyone in the base, and his strong memory allowed him to remember what he had said to everyone. But none of the people who were there just now had ever spoken to him.
Lin Chuan recalled seeing them bow down to him from a distance, but at that time, he never thought that this action had any different meaning.
"You should know that I've been in charge of psychological counseling for people in the base." Lin Li continued. "It's just part of my job."
"You say this is psychological counseling?" Lin Chuan grabbed Lin Li's collar again.
"It's only part of it." Lin Li hurriedly said. "As you can see, they are the least zΓ i in the base. Having lost their old lives, their families and friends, life no longer means anything to them. Most of them are old, do not have the courage or ability to fight for the future, and some have chronic diseases and have been suffering from illness for a long time. People like them. Neither can see the future, nor can they enjoy the present, what do you think they should live for? β
Lin Chuan let go of his hand and allowed Lin Li to sit down.
"I've counseled some of them a lot, but it hasn't worked." Lin Li continued. "That's when I think of religion. You should know that in the past, there were many people who gained spiritual sustenance because of their religious beliefs, and you can say that it is superstition. But it does have a role that no other thing can replace. β
"How did that get on me?"
"Because the gods of the past can no longer make them believe." Lin Li replied. He wasn't worried that Lin Chuan would see through his lies, and the sermons he had been preaching for a long time had made him believe the lies he had repeated countless times. Even if he knew it wasn't true, he could say it over and over again as if it were the truth. "The faith of the past has collapsed in the face of the end times, and no one can continue to believe in those ethereal gods. At times like these, people only want to believe what they can see, and you let them see hope, see the future. β
"Me?" Lin Chuan was a little uneasy.
"Compared to those ethereal gods, your power can be seen by everyone. You saved lives, you rose from the dead, you killed the monsters that threatened us. You bring enough food, clothing, and medicine, bringing peace and calm. Lin Li continued, and before he knew it, his voice became solemn. These things you've done, no matter what you think. For them it was a miracle, a living miracle. Because of this, they revere you, worship you, worship you as a spiritual sustenance, and because of this, they regain hope and confidence in life, and gain peace of mind. β
Lin Chuan was stunned by his words, and he continued. "You give them hope to live, and they have nothing to repay but to repay you with faith, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I didn't do anything here, and if I did, it was just to gather them together and give them a fixed place to purify their hearts and make prayers. β
"Then why didn't you sue me?"
"What's the need?" Lin Li asked. "They believe in you, not because they want something extra, what they want that you have given them. You are a living god to them, and it is enough to look at you from afar. If I tell you about this, it will only make you feel confused, as it is now, isn't it? β
"But this ......" Lin Chuan was a little confused, Lin Li's words sounded reasonable, and Lin Chuan couldn't see any conspiracy or conspiracy, but this still made him difficult to accept. Even though he had come to accept that he was an anomaly, with abilities far beyond that of ordinary people, he still couldn't connect himself to the gods.
"You don't really have to worry too much about it, just be yourself as you normally would." Lin Li saw his confusion. "They worship the real you, and there's no need to make any changes." He paused and said. "They have even fully accepted the fact that you need blood sacrifices once in a while, and any of them will be more than happy to give you their own blood if you want."
"Including me." He whispered.
Lin Chuan's mind was confused, and he didn't notice the meaning of his words, he thought about it and asked, "How many ...... I mean, how many people are there? β
"You now have 34 devout believers, and nearly a hundred new believers, many of whom already have faith in their hearts, but they have long formed a mindset that prevents them from accepting the existence of a living God, and over time they will become your followers."
Lin Chuan sensed the contradictions in his words, but the information in Lin Li's words had already made his mind confused, and he could not think effectively.
"It's just a mess." He muttered.
"On the contrary, I think that's what people have developed into understanding and accepting of you." Lin Li replied. "No one can really understand Wang Zhi's cunzΓ i, and even if I spend a lot of time studying him like me, I still can't understand why he appeared and why he is so powerful. It took several years for the Ministry of State Security to explain this qiΔ, but if a qiΔ is reduced to mystery, it becomes reasonable, and there will be no more troubles and doubts, and there will be no more suspicions and fears. Imagine if most of the people in the base were believers, they would not turn a blind eye to your devotion, let alone have any suspicions about you. No one will question your decision, and no one will be disrespectful to you. People will act according to your will, there will be no more internal strife and strife, and all will become brothers and sisters, loving each other and sharing weal and pain. β
Lin Li's description of the situation made Lin Chuan unimaginable, especially he couldn't imagine Li Mingfeng and Zeng Yu bowing to him, which made him extremely uncomfortable.
"Stop preaching." He said to Lin Li. "I don't know what you're up to, but I don't like things like that. Don't try to force your ideas onto other people, and don't try to influence me with things like this. β
"Your will will be done." Lin Li nodded and replied. "But Heaven has not given you such great power for no reason, in the dark, there must be its arrangement, please do not resist fate, shoulder your due responsibility."
"My responsibility?" Lin Chuan shook his head. "Don't buckle my hat, you can go."
Leng Su'an walked over at this time.
Lin Li smiled and saluted him, he didn't seem to see it, and said directly to Lin Chuan: "The murderer's name is Zhang Huaibing, he is your believer, according to his confession, he killed Liu Jiang because he scolded you with swear words and said bad things about you...... We did some investigations, and Liu Jiang did do this, and more than once. β
Lin Chuan frowned, and Leng Su'an continued to ask, "This matter has been pressed for the time being, how should I deal with it?" β
"Zhang Huaibing is not a brutal person, he is the most devout believer, and he can give his life for you at any time." Lin Li said on the side. "He wouldn't take other people's lives for no reason, there must be another reason for this."
"There is another reason! He killed everyone! Lin Chuan said irritably.
Killing someone for such a reason is something that is unacceptable, he cannot understand it and does not want to understand it.
But he was also reluctant to hold accountable a man who defended himself with fierce means, and he had heard them talk about him behind his back, sometimes so exaggerated that he wanted to kill them too. But he just thought about it, and someone did.
He didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
Leng Su'an was still waiting for his decision.
"Lock him up first." Lin Chuan said sullenly.
