Chapter 113: Becoming a Cultist
"It's... What's going on?" "Is that dummy, broken?" "This, what, what, why, is this happening?"
The audience sighed, because on the mat, Herol had already defeated the dummy, and he had completely defeated the dummy, and he only used one move. Many people don't understand why, it's hard to understand why Hero, who has only been here for less than two days, has done what they couldn't do in five days, all the believers are thinking that it was the dummy that has gone wrong, only the expression on Marvelimo's face is very unhappy, even a little annoyed, and her annoyance means that Herol has passed the test.
And the real reason for this has to start with what Herol heard from Marvilimo yesterday.
After returning home, Hirol has been thinking about a way to pass the test and defeat the dummy. Although he had already determined that he could enter the Cult of the Gods and become a first-order sect, his competitive spirit made him sleep, and if he couldn't pass any of the tests, his heart would be unhappy, even though he was the 'chosen one' and had surpassed others from the beginning, he still wanted to rely on his own strength to prove why he was 'special' compared to others.
So, he had to pass every test, without any blemish, and he had to prove that he could pass all the temple tests and that it took less time than all believers, and in four days, he had passed the tests of two temples, and he could not pass the test of the last temple......
Thinking of this, Hirol finally realized that it was crucial, that is, his competitive spirit, he forgot the meaning of the original existence of the temple, the three temples were all to help the believers, to eliminate the inferiority of the heart, and it was not that defeating a dummy meant that the test was completed.
As a temple to eliminate anger, it is naturally impossible for believers to pass the test by violent means, after all, anger also contains violence.
"Could it be that you can defeat that dummy without using your hands and not being annoyed?" said Hero, muttering to himself in his own home, and Herol had already discovered one thing before, and that was anger. Marvi Limo mentioned before that the dummy is the embodiment of anger, since the dummy is a reflection of the anger in the opponent's heart, then the more angry it is, the stronger the dummy becomes, which proves why in the duel diagram, the dummy gets stronger the later it goes, and why after two rounds, the strength of the dummy is stronger than that of Hirol, because Hirol was full of anger at that time because he couldn't make progress.
At first, Hirol was not sure, so he was observing the duel of other people, whether there was also such a situation, many people were not defeated because of anger, but because the duel lasted too long and was caused by physical exhaustion, except for Kalifi.
Carifi still looked relaxed at the beginning of the duel, and fought back and forth with the dummy, and in the middle of the duel, Carifi showed a hideous expression, it was obvious that he was tired, but he was still very evenly matched with the dummy, because there was no anger in Carifey's heart at that time, but he just felt tired, but after that, I am afraid that it was because there was no effect, so Carifi's anger gradually skyrocketed, which led to the strength of the dummy.
These original assumptions were confirmed by Marvilimo's words, but that was only a way to keep the dummy from getting stronger, but it still couldn't defeat the dummy. It was only just now that Hirol realized how strong his desire to win was.
The growth of anger will be beaten by others and want to fight back, or be compared by others to win, and the more unsuccessful, the more persistent the more they want to succeed, so that the surge of anger will also be superimposed again and again, so Hirol decided to stay where he was when facing the dummy the next day, and let the dummy take the initiative to attack him.
Sure enough, his theory was confirmed, although the dummy rushed towards Hirol and punched him, but the dummy's fist stopped in mid-air 0.2 meters in front of Hiroel, and then Hirol punched the dummy in the chest without warning, and the dummy instantly turned into smoke and dissipated, and the first believer to defeat the dummy appeared!
But Heroel just calmly retreated, and continued to sit among the believers. Marvilimo didn't care about Hirol either, but hurriedly asked the next believer to get on the mat, but Carify, who was sitting next to Hirol, was very excited and asked in a low voice, "Hey, Rogok, you... How did you do that? And why did that dummy stop all of a sudden?"
"It's simple. Hirol didn't want to say it, after all, it was a bit of a violation, but Karifi didn't seem to be a person who was very deep in the city, and his infiltration mission also needed a little more people to cover for him, so he whispered to Carifi, "Let go of the anger in your heart, abandon the desire to win and lose in your heart, and you can do it." ”
"Oh~~ I see, I'll try it later. Kalifi knew that Hirol must have trusted him very much, so he told him this trick, so Karifi didn't tell the other believers, but he was silently preparing in his heart, after all, it was coming to him soon.
Sure enough, Carifi, who let go of his anger and desire to win, also passed the test and successfully defeated the dummy, and then more and more believers did it, and they all defeated the dummy, and Hirol was finally not unique.
Soon, after everyone had finished testing, Marvi Limo also stood up, and disbanded with some anger, and then she left the temple first, while the rest of the congregants remained in the temple. Then all the believers left, and Hirol and Karifi walked out of the temple side by side.
"Thank you, Rogark, if it weren't for your reminder, I wouldn't have been able to pass the test. Of course, Kalifi is grateful to Hiroel, because Kalifi has always wanted to enter the Cult of the Gods and become a follower of the Cult of the Gods, and now he is one step closer to his dream.
"Don't be too happy, Kalifi, there's another crucial test this afternoon, and passing that one is the real success. Although Hirol was happy for Kalifi, he also poured cold water on him, because the final test in the afternoon was the real important test, and if he didn't pass, the week's efforts would be in vain.
Although Hirol no longer needed to take the test, he hoped that Kalifi would pass. After all, he was alone in the Cult of the Gods and needed to make some friends, and Karifi was a person with a good temper and was also helpful to Hiroel, so Hirol very much hoped that Karifi could enter the Cult of the Gods and become a first-order sectist.
"Well, see you in the afternoon. Carifey said goodbye to Hirol and walked to the other side, and Herol also walked towards his house, bought a boxed lunch on the way and brought it home, and wrote a report while eating it, but this report could only be written 3/4 of the way, and the last 1/4 could not be written until he returned from the prayer chapel.
At 3 p.m., Hirol arrived at the Chapel of Prayer punctually, and he was not in a hurry, after all, he did not need to take the second round of tests. By the time Hirol entered the chapel, the test had already begun, and 12 believers had already taken the second round of the test, and they still did not pass the test, and the picture of the crystal ball still changed.
"Snia, pass the test!" When the 25th believer took the test, a person who successfully passed the test finally appeared, and Gurafiz called out the name of the believer, and the believer was also very excited to pass the test and become a first-order sect member.
But then, after a long time, there was no second one, and when it was almost 50, the second person who passed the test finally appeared, and it was still a female believer. "Ruth Leanne, pass the test!" But now many believers are disappointed, because as far as the current situation stands, I am afraid that there will be one out of every 25 people, so I am afraid that only 8 people will pass.
But unexpectedly, the third person soon appeared, followed by the fourth, then the fifth, and the believers who passed the test appeared more and more frequently. "Kalifi, pass the test. When he heard his name, Karifi was thrilled, and Hirol was happy for him, after all, of all the believers, Karifi was the most familiar to Hero.
The test ended quickly, a total of 19 believers passed the test, and the others were more or less problematic. Although the number was still small, it was enough for Hirol, and of the 19 people who passed, there were 15 male believers and 4 female believers, plus 20 of Hirol's first first-order cultists.
"Okay, the first batch of cultists has appeared, and the rest of the believers who failed to be elected are not good enough, but you have not yet grasped the true meaning. Hopefully, the six days of trial in the temple will make a difference in your lives, and as for those who have passed, you will be living in the prayer chapel from tomorrow until we leave, and you will not be allowed to leave unless you have special circumstances. Gulafis's tone was still very calm, and he also gave leeway, "Of course, you have the right to choose to leave, and the decision is up to you." If you've decided, tomorrow at 8 o'clock, bring your household supplies and clothes and check in here, and we'll announce your assigned room tomorrow. Of course, you don't need to bring too many clothes, we will assign you the robes of the Cult of God, and you will have to wear them during the practice in the future. ”
Gulafis did not just say the specific canons, but only said some precautions, such as that during the sect, there should be no ambiguous relationship between male and female teachers, and no absences from any spiritual classes during non-free time.
Then all the faithful left the prayer chapel, and those who were selected went home to pack their belongings, while those who were not selected had to return to their original lives. And Herol and Carifi walked out of the chapel together. Karifi invited Hirol to dinner with him in the evening, but Herol politely declined and hurried home.
Because, he still has a final report to write.
