A moment later, Mio Ito was led by the registrar and stepped into the interior of Hojo.

As soon as you enter the gate of "Fazhuang", there is an empty field in front of you, and there are futons on the field, which must be the tools used by the believers to kneel and sit.

At the end of the empty field ahead, a huge stage stood on it. The stage was covered in red silk, and several uniformed staff members were adjusting the audition equipment on stage.

Behind the busy staff, a huge portrait of more than five meters in length and width was hung, and on it was the statue of King Bliss with six hands and three heads.

"Twenty minutes left for the Sect Leader to preach, you've just in time."

The registrar introduced Mio Ito warmly, and quietly stretched out his hand by the way, wanting to hold Mio Ito's palm quietly, but before his hand could get closer, the girl had already hugged her chest and looked directly at the face of King Bliss with uncertain eyes, thoughtfully.

"Wait a minute...... Will he speak in front of that portrait? ”

"That's right - but in our Mingwang Society, it's called 'preaching', or 'enlightenment', Mio-chan, you ......"

The registrar followed Mio Ito's line of sight to look at the huge portrait of King Ming and said, but as he spoke, he turned his head and wanted to explain to Mio Ito, when he suddenly found that the girl had disappeared without a trace, and only air was left beside him.

“…… Huh?

“…… Mio-chan? ”

The registrar's head turned around, but he didn't find the girl. In the blink of an eye, in the crowd of insiders and believers, the girl disappeared in the wind like a cherry blossom falling from a tree branch.

“…… How so?! ”

The registrar stood stunned, unable to move his feet for a long time.

……

Twenty minutes later.

The crowd gathered.

At the bottom of the stage, the members of the Ming King's Council of Elders sat closest to the stage like the board of directors of the company, and there were also some powerful and wealthy people sitting with them.

A little farther away, one by one believers were sitting on the futon, looking at the huge portrait of King Ming on the stage with expectant eyes, waiting for the sect leader to appear.

And just behind the believer's futon seat, a figure patrolled, including the ordinary deacons in robes, as well as security personnel, although they were well-dressed, but the pace of the patrol and the eyes were a little scattered, obviously not the first time to carry out the mission.

The focus of the field has gathered on the stage.

I was looking forward to the appearance of the sect master.

The bright lights hit the stage.

The believers held their breath and waited for the god in their minds to appear.

And so—

"Hum Mani Horn Mi ......"

A string of muffled voices rang out from the stage.

The bright lights suddenly go out.

In an instant, darkness struck.

The wind gently blows every hair, and everyone's heart is swaying.

Only darkness could be seen on the stage, only the face of the King of Bliss remained, behind the overlapping shadows of the night, his ethereal eyes stared at everyone in the audience.

“…… Darkness reigns over the world all the time. ”

“…… In the world of the end of the law, disasters follow like a shadow, and the world suffers from calamity and misfortune. ”

The muffled voice rang out again, and the elders and upper figures closest to the stage all sat up straight, their faces different. However, farther away from the stage, most of the believers on the futon and the deacons at the back showed moved eyes, and even began to tremble.

The yin wind was howling, and in the faint wind, the sound of sobbing seemed to come from far away, lingering in everyone's ears, and those who trembled even more. And the stage is getting darker and darker, and the portrait of King Ming seems to be completely retreating into the shadows.

“…… Suffering swept through all beings. Life and death are like dreams, and you can't break free. ”

The voice grew deeper and deeper, as if it was about to be completely suppressed, and only a few forces remained. And the atmosphere in the audience is becoming more and more depressing, the scene is silent, and everyone has sunk into this woven dream, immersed in the terrifying threat of the end of the law.

However, at this moment, something changed abruptly.

"Then, then...... King Ming finally came to the world to save the world from the sea of suffering! ”

"Sneer......"

Pre-designed dry ice gas erupts from both sides of the stage, and smoke fills the entire stage.

At this moment, the portrait at the back of the stage distorted slightly.

And in the next second, the lights came back on, and a man wearing a dark gray robe, with a clear face and bright eyes, appeared on the stage, like a god who had suddenly descended into the world, sitting cross-legged in the center of the stage, he looked down at everyone in the audience, and showed a loving smile:

I have come to this world to preach the salvation of King Bliss and to bestow upon you the highest blessings. Congratulations to all of you for having the opportunity to get out of the sea of suffering! ”

As if to contrast with the darkness just now, the bright light hit the stage, and the man in the center of the lighting stood up from the futon and spread his hands to the crowd below the stage, his eyes moist.

Shuji Yamada, the leader of the King of Bliss Society, appeared.

Under the stage, it has become a sea of applause and cheers.

"Sect Master, long live!"

But at the back of the believers, in the group of robed deacons who were also applauding excitedly, the registrar seemed a little absent-minded, his head looking left and right, as if trying to find the familiar figure in the crowd, but he never found anything.

……

After a long time, the cheers and applause finally stopped, and with the movement of King Yamada Shuji's hands pressing down slightly, the scene returned to calm and returned to a silent state.

It's just that the believers in the audience all blushed, staring at Shuiji Yamada with eyes of faith and adoration, and preparing to receive his voice with great piety.

Shuiji Yamada picked up the microphone on the stage, walked to the front of the stage, looked relaxed, and began to speak to everyone:

"It's finally that time of the month again......

"Ever since I received the revelation of the 'King of Bliss' ten years ago to establish the 'King of Bliss Society' and announce the way of salvation to the world, the 'Pilgrimage Society' has not been interrupted.

“…… As I have said from the beginning, the 'doomsday of the doom' that King Ming said will eventually come, and there are less than three years left before now. Many laypeople are paranoid about the filth of their hearts, refuse to accept the revelation of King Ming, and even slander us, which makes me feel very sad. But at the same time, I also see more and more people following the figure of the Ming King, from less than 10 people at the beginning, to the thousands of Dharma friends sitting here today, and the tens of thousands of members all over Japan, who can feel the belief in the Ming King, and will save you when the doomsday comes. For this achievement, everyone can see it, and King Ming is also very pleased. But I can't be complacent and stop here......

“…… You are wise people, enlightened people. However, most of the people in this world are unwise and unenlightened. Among them may be your brothers and sisters, parents and children. Can you just watch them sink into the sea of misery and not be saved? We can't do that, so the church needs to do more in the future to attract more believers and save more people.

“…… Not only Japan, but also Japan, we will go out of Japan and go to the two dynasties, the dragon country, the United States, and Europe...... The salvation of the Ming King has no country, and anyone is eligible for salvation, so the next point of the 'Bliss Ming King Society' is - huh? ”
