Chapter 3, The Confession Meeting
Yan Yu fell into deep thought
She cast a glance at him with difficulty
Interesting, then let me take a moment to delve deeper into understanding you, classmate Yan Yu
Well, if it is not too much trouble, how about ... ...
Yan Yu was taken aback for a moment, glanced in the direction the missionary had departed, and said with a hint of fear and difficulty
Aside from this, only one fanatic was captured on the spot because his arm was coincidentally broken.
So is this a coincidence deliberately created by Yan Yu
Standing amidst the corpses of over ninety fellow believers, the remaining six heretics were about to take their own lives on the spot, returning to the embrace of their so-called deities, while three of them were ultimately rescued and are still undergoing treatment
As for the difficulties, he had actually noticed her long before this missionary approached.
And those surrounding, who remained silent yet retained a fervent expression of the heretics, were repeatedly struck down by batons and shot dead by handguns, yet they did not retreat a single step, only continuously contracting, steadfastly maintaining their guardianship of the altar
They did not attack the police, willingly enduring assaults and even bullets, while continuously murmuring dense whispers.
Even if the patrolling police arrive within one minute and repeatedly shoot the priest who is conducting the ritual
Yan Yu glanced at Xin Nan's back, adjusted his glasses, and then followed him down to the subway
Seeing the rarely seen raised eyebrows, Yan Yu hurriedly explained with a hint of surprise
Was that person just now the one from the recent uproar in America regarding the confession meeting
Yan Yu became embarrassed and explained
At this moment, not only was he not frightened, but he also smiled as he took the flyer from her hand and nodded at her
As for the inverted cross behind them, it represents a meaning that is entirely different from that of a previous life
Her preaching on the train is likely already reported, and the security personnel on the train are definitely searching for her
Do not worry, there will be someone to take care of it, after all, this is the Yan Kingdom
It only took five minutes
In an instant, repentance has become like a rat that everyone in the world wants to chase away.
The sudden appearance of this person clearly startled Yan Yu, especially when she fervently grabbed Yan Yu's hand and forcefully shoved a flyer into it. The little girl, as if shocked by electricity, quickly shook off her hand and hid behind Xin Nan.
This world, which is strikingly similar yet entirely different from Earth, has a history that continues to this day, and no cult has ever made such a high-profile sacrifice, inspiring so many people to fervently give of themselves.
Would she be willing to carry out a terrorist attack while strapped with a bomb?
On that morning, already in a state of panic due to the lunar face turn, the fervent cultists gathered in the streets of Xituya in the Eagle Nation, using a 1965 Ford Mark I van as an altar, surrounding the girl who was to be sacrificed, with more than one hundred people in total.
Although it may not be correct to say so, from the perspective of public interest, what harm is there in having such a believer do something for you
What lies behind her actions, is it merely a simple purpose or a special purpose
After carefully scrutinizing Xin Nan, she hesitated and said
Before turning to leave, he cast a glance at Yan Yu, as if trying to remember her appearance with that one look
As long as the vast majority of people in this world remain normal, these individuals will eventually meet their demise, and the determination of the nations in this world to deal with heresy is far more resolute than that of the previous world
The banquet rain is somewhat heavy
Actually, I thought about it, dear classmate, my home is not far away, and the whole way is well-lit. It is still not late, and there should be many people around, so I will go to your house after all
If one day everyone in this world seems off, then Xin Nan might just smile and say, what a coincidence, I am too
I am afraid there is none left in the end
By the way, can you go home by yourself
This is truly an incomprehensible and terrifying religion, accompanied by madness and recklessness
Although this bloody ritual lasted only a brief ten minutes from start to finish, it was disseminated globally through various media means, subsequently inciting an indescribable wave of pagan terror worldwide
Although there is no large-scale worship of legitimate deities, various forms of pagan worship continue to emerge. They believe in the existence of entities that have demonstrated "extraordinary miracles." The smallest unit of worshippers may consist of a single family, while the largest could resemble a confessional gathering.
The three patrol cars that arrived one after another had a total of six police officers, who unleashed all the bullets from their handguns and spare magazines onto these heretics
Ah? Wait a moment, classmate, did you misunderstand something
Banquet Rain
difficult
Since you have no issues, we have arrived at the station, please disembark
As an "anomaly" who is unable to integrate yet continuously attempts to fit into the crowd, Xin Nan has learned a great deal during the process of being treated
The woman contentedly made a gesture at her chest—placing her right hand firmly over her heart, though it is unclear what it symbolizes
At this moment, as the female missionary departed, not only Yan Yu but also the people around breathed a sigh of relief
So you are willing to go home with a stranger you just started talking to
It is quite troublesome, I need to get off at the next stop. If you are afraid, why not come to my house instead
Squinting in difficulty, it must be said that this is not some boring cherry blossom country anime. There was an inexplicable encounter in the car, and it seemed that there was a strong desire to engage in conversation with me. Then, it was necessary to go to one's own home, which is certainly not a normal situation
The elderly woman just now is undoubtedly one of its fervent followers
Xin Nan lightly patted her shoulder twice from behind
Their fervor raises doubts, as if they have truly witnessed their revered deity manifesting in the world
The best way to hide oneself is to blend into the crowd
Given the current high risks associated with confession, his recent actions may be perceived as favorable towards this sect. There are already ignorant individuals around him distancing themselves, and if this continues, it could potentially lead to unnecessary trouble. Discarding it publicly would at least not provoke excessive hostility
So why engage in such a seemingly pointless "sacrifice"
Yet she still did it, even if it meant she would be captured, tried, and imprisoned
Thank you, classmate Xin Nan
However, considering the security level of the subway, this should be impossible
I did not expect that the tentacles of this organization would extend so quickly to Yan Country, and that they would begin their missionary work so ostentatiously.
Ah? Is Xinnan classmate viewing our relationship this way? But we have clearly been classmates for three years
You are merely reacting instinctively, there is no need to be afraid. Next time you encounter a situation like this, just accept it naturally. Do not offend such religious zealots, as it may bring unnecessary trouble upon yourself.
This sacrifice did not take place in any filthy and sordid primordial swamp, dark and terrifying deep mountain forest, or the hidden and solemn underground of an ancient castle
So everything you said earlier was just to give me a twist
Some rather timid individuals have even considered getting off the train immediately to switch to other modes of transportation, seemingly fearing that those fanatics might carry out some form of terrorist attack on the subway
... ...
Yan Yu was even more afraid and hid behind Xin Nan.
Indeed, Xin Nan, I am not the kind of girl who is casual about such matters. It is just that all my friends have gone traveling, and my parents are often away from home; they are in the United States. I am the only one at home, and I have been feeling very scared these past few days, so...
In this short period, how many people can she evangelize and how many followers can she gain
Seeing the fervent demeanor of that missionary woman shouting and distributing flyers in the carriage, most people here would recall the shocking and brutal sacrifice that occurred on July 12, 3121, just a few days ago, the day after the moon began to turn its face.
This ... ...
Xin Nan raised the flyer in his hand towards the camera and then tossed it into the trash can, indicating his complete lack of interest in joining the membership
Then he seemed to recall some troublesome matter and could not help but say
Dear classmate, please do not misunderstand me. I am not the kind of girl who is casual about such matters. The kind of thing you mentioned is not something I would easily agree to.
Yet there are still those who, regardless of the consequences and unafraid of death, rush forward to seize the weapons, even though they are fully aware that merely climbing onto the vehicle could lead to their execution by gunfire, they flock to it eagerly
Furthermore, what does it mean to not easily agree?
In this world, perhaps due to the mysterious places hidden in darkness, the development of religion is entirely different from that of previous eras, lacking churches, Buddhism, and Taoism, yet various simple dialectical thoughts emerge endlessly
The ceremony was ultimately completed
