Chapter 403: The Book of Atonement
Founded in 1820, Polis is the capital and largest city of Indiana, with an urban area of 911.7 square kilometers and a population of nearly one million, making it the largest livestock market east of Chicago.
It is home to the world's largest children's museum, and the famous 500-mile car race is held here every year.
At this time, in a new-style church that had just been built for less than a year, a middle-aged man stood outside the confession, looking a little worried.
"Dear Father Choi Young-hand, I want to confess to you that I have recently committed a great sin, will the Lord forgive me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came out of the confessional room, "The Lord sees good as good, so he encourages people to be good, not to sin, not to be deceived by evil, but you can confess your sin, this is an honest act, this is also good, I believe that the Lord will forgive you and let you go to heaven after death." ”
Hearing this kind of words similar to 'put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot', the apprehension on the middle-aged man's face faded, and he began to confess, "I killed someone, but I didn't kill him on purpose, it was him, it was he who made an offensive gesture, which made me misjudge, in order to prevent him from killing me, so I killed him first." ”
"Every life has been created by our Lord Himself, and it is an incomparably precious existence, and no one, not even the life itself, can take it away. ”
The voice in the confessional room was very warm, as warm as a spring breeze, "You have killed someone, committed a great sin, and you are going to hell, but you are unintentional and unintentional, I will tell the great Lord about you and ask for His forgiveness......"
"I have here some books of indulgence, a thousand beautiful knives, buy some more, go back and burn them, and send your prayers to heaven by the act of burning, and give them to the great Lord by angels, and ask the Lord to forgive you, so that you may go to heaven after you die. ”
Soon, a collection code and a stack of indulgence rolls were hung up in the confessional room.
The middle-aged man took out his mobile phone and scanned it at the payment code, and said, "I'll buy a hundred first, and I'll trouble you to check it." ”
"The Lord will forgive you, and you will surely go to heaven when you die. ”
"Thank you, Father. ”
After the middle-aged man happily left with a stack of indulgence rolls, the small door of the confession room opened, and a man of about fifty or sixty years old wearing a black priest's robe walked out of it, looking at the direction of the middle-aged man's departure with disdain.
"Didn't you mean it? Misjudgment? One person is a misjudgment, you can't be a misjudgment, the dozens of people you killed, if it weren't for your father being the boss of the city's largest steel group, he would have gone in a long time ago. ”
He is the priest Choi Young-jun in that man's mouth, but Choi Young-jun is his pseudonym, and his real name is Kosaka Masaryo.
The reason why I gave myself the pseudonym of Cui Yingjun is because in recent years, there has been a popular sentence on the Internet of Dongying: "What should I do if Dongying people are found out that they are doing unqualified things abroad Chinese?"
As a religious liar, if you are discovered, it will be a very embarrassing thing, but if you pretend to be a member of the universe, you will be a person from the universe.
For this reason, he deliberately dressed up as a cosmic person, learned the customs and language of the cosmic country, and forged the identity card of the cosmic country to ensure that his identity would not be revealed.
"But he's really rich. ”
Masarashi Kosaka took his mobile phone and glanced at his newly credited amount, and his old face bloomed.
In just two years after coming to the United States, he has earned almost 10 million US dollars, and this speed of making money has not been earned in the more than 20 years that he has been guarding the small shrine in Dongying.
"Thank you for the supernatural power that came to life, thank God for coming,"
Masarashi Kosaka drew a cross on his chest.
He knew very well that if it weren't for the extraordinary power in the world, if it weren't for God's omnipotent power, the atmosphere of faith in the United States would not be so strong, and those believers would not be like fools who stuff money into a liar like him.
You must know that in the past, although the United States was known as the country of a thousand religions, the number of sects that preached (deceit) religion (deception) under the banner of God or other gods was the largest in the world, and only the universe country could compare.
But among these sects, there are only a few sect leaders who make a fortune by fooling believers into donating wealth.
Most of the believers are from poor backgrounds, and some of them are still false believers who rely on the sect in the name of faith, and there are almost no rich people who really believe in these cults.
But since the supernatural power appeared in the world and God showed his omnipotent power, the believers in the United States, a country that traditionally believes in God, have gone crazy, and those rich people with huge wealth in their hands have suddenly become the most devout believers of God, donating large sums of money to pray that the glory of God can shine on themselves.
He took advantage of this trend to publicize the indulgence scroll as a priest, and for a time attracted many rich people to come and buy it, and made a lot of money.
"But I'm afraid there will never be another opportunity like that. Masarashi Kosaka muttered.
In the past year, the government of the United States has been cracking down on cults, and those sects that believe in heretical gods have almost been swept away, and he heard the rumors that the United States is planning to deal with those who believe in God but do not belong to the Papal State. Nor is it a cross-preach sect to be purged.
With the ability of the Mi government, I am afraid that he will soon be discovered as a liar.
"Looks like we're going to have to find some time to run. ”
Just as Masara Kosaka was thinking, a blond, blue-eyed, high-nosed man walked in.
Seeing him, Masara Kosaka greeted him in a warm voice, "Little Johnson, you're here." ”
"Father Choi Young-hand. ”
Johnson also said hello, and then said to Kosaka Masara, "Father, are we going to have a big Mass this Saturday?"
"A grand Mass? Just like the previous Saturday Mass. Masarashi Kosaka said casually.
As soon as he finished speaking, Johnson's brow furrowed, "But Father, this Saturday is the real Christmas Day of the Lord, not the fake Christmas day that has been hyped up by modern American business companies. ”
"Don't we celebrate a great Mass on the Lord's true Christmas?"
The real Christmas day of the Lord? Didn't I make it up? I didn't even remember it myself, but you remember it so clearly? Kosaka Masara was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and said, "Little Johnson, the Lord doesn't care if we have a grand mass on Christmas Day, the Lord doesn't care about the formality, the Lord cares about whether we are devout in our faith and whether we act according to the Lord's teachings. ”
But believers are ready to ascend to heaven in the form of self-sacrifice on Christmas. ”
