"But they're so close, so connected to our world, they've opened the way, and that's some kind of unnatural interference, right?" Xiao Yao guessed: "For example, what did you say...... Freemasonry? ”

Karl Stedling was slightly surprised and glanced at Yu Bo, who shook his head and said, "I didn't say anything."

"You're smart." Karl Stedling exclaimed sincerely.

Shen Jie and Yu Luying glanced at Xiao Yao in disagreement, and both of them were thinking in their hearts, okay, it turns out that it is not polite for the teacher to praise you for being smart.

"What is the purpose of Freemasonry?" Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "Destroy the world? ”

"That's not true," Karlstolin shook his head, "maybe it's just for the sake of a vain and beautiful ideal of world unity, so that he will do whatever it takes." ”

Xiao Yao, Shen Jie, Yu Luying, you look at me, I look at you, with a slightly confused look in their eyes.

"Straightforward evil can't unite that kind of power," Karlsdrin spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and shook his head three times: "So no matter what their real purpose is, they have to give a high-sounding name to what they do, and even their own hearts really believe that what they are doing is actually the right thing, for a noble goal, can you understand?" ”

"Yes," Xiao Yao nodded, "I know this very well. ”

"Actually, everyone's position and philosophy are different, right?" Shen Jie interjected.

"Of course, of course," Karlstolin nodded, "but if their actions threaten the world and threaten to cause the death of human beings, we cannot sit idly by." ”

"Of course, that's right." Xiao Yao nodded politely in agreement.

A bar-raising thought suddenly appeared in his heart: Is it possible that the person who thinks that what he is doing is actually the right thing and is for a noble goal...... Or are we?

Just as Xiao Yao trapped himself in the trap of moral nihilism, there was a gentle knock on the door of the room. Yu Bo walked over quickly and opened the door, Xiao Yao looked back, only to see him pick up a ...... from outside the door A tray full of hearty dishes, turned around and handed a bald head, then took another tray from outside the door.

"It's here, let's eat first!" Karl Stedling slapped his face, stood up, and said heroically.

After reciting the pre-dinner sutra, Karl Stedlin poured red wine for the three little ones and the others: "This is our wine made in Portugal, although I dare not say that it is the best in the world, you are still welcome to taste it - ah, wait, are you adults?" ”

"It's okay," Yu Bo took a sip of his wine glass: "Huaxia doesn't pay much attention to this." ”

"Oh!" Karl Stedling made a look of great surprise.

"But we have other political correctness." Yu Bo explained.

"Oh!" Karl Sterrin continued to shrug his shoulders and shrug his shoulders twice: "Every place, there is a right place in every place. ”

Lunch was held in a relaxed atmosphere, and Karl Stedling was very talkative and lively, making the dinner table laugh.

"It's good to work on horses." "With the pass, I can travel more freely to the mainland, unlike other priests and celibates, who often only have 72 hours of transit time to visit our friends," says Karlstling. ”

Karl Stedlin's Chinese is still quite fluent, but the written language is too heavy, and he still can't master the four tones well, Xiao Yao thought.

It's already very good, Yu Luying replied silently in her heart.

"It's a pity that I'll be sent to Flybin later," Karlstedling said, "and the work here will be taken over by someone else - that would be a problem." ”

"No, no, no, celibate members are not monks, we are laity, we also have to participate in social labor, we live in the world, just like everyone else."

After some small talk, the conversation shifted to the threat of Freemasonry.

From Karl Stedlin's words, Xiao Yao learned that the Holy See had long regarded Freemasonry as a mortal enemy.

"In 1738, Pope Clement XII issued an order forbidding the faithful to join Freemasonry, and those who violated it were excommunicated by the Church." Karl Strindling said: "In 1717, the first Freemasonry was established in England, and Freemasonry was the Church of the Devil. ”

Xiao Yao secretly stuck out his tongue.

"During the French Revolution, Freemasonry members learned in secret places, cutting off dead people's heads, putting heads on swords and marching in their secret places." Karl Sterring: "When the French Revolution had begun, the Freemasons cut off the heads of the dead, put their heads on their swords and paraded on the public roads!" ”

Put your head on your sword? Xiao Yao thought. Oh, it's a parade with the tip of a sword and a head on it......

"In 1741, the Watchmen were secretly established in Vienna with the support of Queen Maria Theresa and with the permission of the Holy See," Karlstedling continues: "When the Watchmen were first founded, they had only one purpose, and that was to fight Freemasonry, to eliminate Freemasonry influence in the world, and to prevent Freemasonry from encroaching on society and the Church. ”

"Oh." Xiao Yao replied.

So after talking about it for a long time, it sounds like it's just the private relationship between the two of you - it's not quite right to say private, grievances. What does this have to do with the temple of the Shadow World and the invasion of Shadow? Xiao Yao thought.

As if seeing through the doubts in the young man's heart, Karl Stryling cut to the chase further: "It is also due to the continuous observation of Freemasonry that the Watchmen of Mingye discovered the existence of the Shadow World very early on - the Freemasons discovered them first, and tried to use some means to open the passage between us and that side, in order to achieve their ulterior purposes. ”

"Ulterior purpose," Yu Luying, who had been silent, spoke: "What is it?" ”

"According to the information we have, it is about to be called: Cleansing this filthy world." Karlstedling replied: "Of course, according to their philosophy, their standards and their will. ”

"Cleansing, the words are really exquisite, isn't it cleaning?" Shen Jie groaned: "Specifically, does it mean that through the temple to cleanse a person's heart and will, force the other party to repent, and repent publicly?" ”

"That's just the beginning, and one of the ways to use it," Karlstedling told Shen Jie, "Think about it, it's a technique that can change people's hearts, control people's souls, and they can use it to do whatever they want." ”

"Let people repent, make people braindead, make people commit suicide, make people stupid, make people become another person altogether, or become a certain person or a puppet of a certain organization......" Yu Luying said: "I shudder when I think about it, the masses brainwash me." ”

"Yes, this weapon should not exist in essence, because it violates God's free will," Karlstedling nodded: "Regardless of the original motivation, good or evil, not even God or angels can forcibly change a person's heart." Once you start using it, it will not produce good results in the end, and even the user himself can't control it. ”

Xiao Yao, Shen Jie and Yu Luying looked at each other, and all three of them felt like they were lying down.

"And the real purpose of Freemasonry, we suppose, is to merge the shadow world with the real world," Karl Stedling said leisurely, "that is, what they call the Great Commission, and all this has already begun." ”

The three little ones looked at each other, and everyone shuddered.

Xiao Yao raised his hand and asked, "In the past 300 years, why is it only starting now?" ”

"Both of us," Karl Stedling said, spreading his hands, "whether it is the Keeper of the Cause or the Freemasons, the understanding and use of the shadow world has always been in a stage of wandering outside the door, and for the past 300 years, we have been working to balance their power and prevent them from opening that door. ”

Xiao Yao nodded and said, "This also makes sense—so, since this kind of power is so dangerous, are you calling the three of us over today to ask us not to use the power of the Spirit Fortress again?" ”

"On the contrary," Karlstolin shook his head, "you should think that we invited you to meet today to invite you to join the Watchmen of the Ming Industry. ”

The three little ones only glanced at each other.

Karlstedling continued, "You must continue to use your powers, under the supervision and restraint of the Keepers of the Karma, to use your power on the right path against the forces of evil until one day we close the passage completely. ”

"In other words," Xiao Yao muttered, "we use the power of the fortress so that we can no longer use the power of the fortress in the future. ”

"Exactly." Karl Stedling hits the knot appreciated.

"You just mentioned," Xiao Yao said calmly, "Under the supervision and restraint of the Mingye Watchman, I would like to ask, why are we doing this?" I mean, why put yourself in chains? ”

"Xiao Yao!" Yu Luying shouted, and Yu Bo also glanced at him.

Karl Stedling was unhurried, as if he had expected this question: "Because you respect and obey order, and your heart is pure and kind." For all this time, Mr. Yu has been observing you, supervising your use of power, and observing your every move. ”

Xiao Yao glanced at Yu Bo, who met him in the eye.

"You have proven yourself, you have proven your strength, and your pure will of mind," Karl Stedling said, spreading his hands, "and therefore Mr. Yu vouches for you, and we allow, no, sincerely invite you to join us in our efforts to keep the threat of the Shadow out of this world." ”

"I'm joining!" Yu Luying replied without hesitation, her voice calm and firm.

"Silly girl!" Shen Jie was taken aback.

"Ying Ying......" Xiao Yao also felt that Yu Luying agreed too rashly and quickly.

"Hahahaha......" Karlsdeling said with a smile: "Miss Yu is commendable, but it is better to understand us comprehensively and make a decision after careful consideration." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, you still have to understand first, then consider, and then decide." Shen Jie hurriedly said.

"No need," Yu Luying insisted without hesitation: "I believe in my uncle and in his career." ”

"Yingying ......" Yu Bo was a little moved.

"What's more, this is a thing with a lofty sense of mission," Yu Luying said: "For more than ten years, I have been doubting the meaning of my existence, I feel that I am a child who should not be born, grandfather, mother, father, no matter who it is, no one, no one wants me to be born." ”

"Silly girl......" Shen Jie muttered.

"Ying Ying ......," Xiao Yao and Yu Bo said.

"I keep asking God, what are you bringing me into this world for," Yu Luying continued, "is this a punishment, or is it a ...... In any case, I have never been able to find out what my mission in this world is...... Or rather, what is the purpose of my existence.

"And now, I feel like I've found it.

"From Xiao Yao, I found the meaning of love and being needed.

"From Shen Jie, I found another kind of love, true friendship, willing to give up and share what I have for the sake of friends.

"I've always misunderstood my mother, but she loves me very much, she's a good mother, but a lot of times there is a problem with the way she expresses herself.

"And grandpa...... Although I dare not say that I have completely forgiven him, he still has my ...... in his heart after all

"Even if I can't be sure of all of the above, even if everything is just me deceiving myself, at least I'm willing to trust Uncle Yu Bo and be willing to worship for the sake of ...... Dedicate yourself to a worthy cause.

"I have always been skeptical of God's existence, noncommittal, or rather, I think he exists, but he has never cared about the life or death of mankind, at least my life. I never heard His voice," Yu Luying concluded: "But I know now that I covered my ears and didn't want to hear His voice. So I did a lot of wrong things, a lot of things that violated the commandments and violated my conscience, and I was used to blaming others for it, but I didn't want to admit that I had a problem. As Job said to God, I used to hear only about you, but now I see you with my own eyes......"

"Uh, wait a minute." Xiao Yao reached out and gently hugged Yu Luying's shoulder, her sudden fanaticism made him feel a little uneasy: "If she joins you, won't she be able to get married?" ”

Karlsdelin shook his head and said, "Since the reform in 1965, our current membership is divided into single members and married members, and in terms of personal life, the three of us do not have to worry about the impact of this. ”

"That's okay," Xiao Yao cautiously confirmed, "What will you do if I don't join?" ”

Karl Stedling laughed: "What can be done? Are we going to force you? Do we say, if you don't join, we'll destroy you? ”

When he said "destroy you", Karl Stedling made a gesture and expression that caused Shen Jie to laugh.

"So, I can make a decision after getting to know you well and thinking about it carefully?" Xiao Yao said.

“Of course.” Karl Stringdau.

That's okay, Xiao Yao thought to himself.

"Just one thing," Karlstoling adds, "when you're outside, try not to mention the name of the Keeper of the Bright Karma, and if you want to talk about it, you can call it 'The Organization,' or 'The Work.'" ”

"I see, don't worry, we'll keep it a secret." Xiao Yao nodded, promised, and then turned to Yu Bo: "Can I ask a few more questions?" ”

"You can ask any question, you can ask as many as you want," Yu Bo replied, "As long as it can be answered, as long as it doesn't violate the organization's confidentiality requirements, I will know everything about the three of you." ”

"So, your Yu family, you, your father, and your brother, are all members of the organization?" Xiao Yao asked.

Yu Bo glanced at Karl Stryling, who nodded: "Yes - but, you may not believe it when you say it, I just knew." ”

"What?" The three little ones were all taken aback.

"The organization is a one-threaded connection," Yu Bo explained, "In order to fight against Freemasonry, we learned from each other's organizational experience, and the membership roster is only in the hands of the core level, and at the grassroots level - for example, my upline is Mr. Shi, Shi Hui is my downline, I only know this, so maybe the members of the two organizations know each other, but neither knows the identity of the other." ”

"Ah, this ......" Xiao Yao said, "Then what is that lost holy robe for?" ”

Yu Bo glanced at Karlsdelin again, who shook his head imperceptibly.

"Okay," Xiao Yao said, "Why did Zhao Xiaomei know about the Holy Clothes and plan such a big attack to take it away?" Where does her strength come from? ”

"Zhao Xiaomei is the assistant of the organization," Karl Stedling took over: "I didn't know about this matter before Mr. Yu Bo - so we have reason to believe that there are bad people in the organization, or rather, internal ghosts." ”

"Ah......" Xiao Yao said.

"After all, what Freemasonry does best is camouflage and infiltration." Yu Bodao.
