Chapter 028 Cult Simulator

It was still dark when Ji Xu returned to his single dormitory. He took off the eye mask and blanket he had worn before entering the game and stood in front of the dressing mirror. His bangs had grown a lot longer, and he was still wearing a dark and eerie robe, with a pure white mask pinned to his waist. If a sudden gust of wind blew at this time, he would put on his hood and be able to face the Grim Reaper or Dementors on the spot.

Season sequence: "..."

So how do the contestants show their loyalty to this look?

Ji Xu found it difficult to understand. He took out the watermelon juice from the refrigerator and returned to the computer. He stuffed the black robe into the washing machine so that he wouldn't be bothered by it. At the same time, he placed the roses he brought back before leaving on the windowsill.

Shudong came to him happily and said that he had changed the icon to the red color that Jixu liked, and also brought a report on this game. Jixu took a look at it and closed it, looking for a new simulator.

Prison break simulator, hacker simulator, cult simulator, artificial intelligence simulator...

"?"

Wait, there seems to be something strange sneaking into these non-human resources groups.

Ji Xu forced himself to move away from the last line of words, and picked and chose among the other simulators. Recalling what the contestants had said, his eyes fell thoughtfully on the cult simulator.

How about trying it tomorrow?

He was eager to make a move, so he got up early the next day and put the dried black robe into his shoulder bag. In fact, Ji Xu's wardrobe was full of casual clothes and sportswear, and the only formal suit was just to fool others. If one day, the school held a meeting for three consecutive days, someone would carefully notice that Ji Xu wore the same suit on stage for three days in a row...Excuse me for being frank, but formal suits are simply a punishment on humanity.

Because he had no idea what he would face at the beginning, Ji Xu rummaged through his closet before finding a coat, put on his glasses, and dressed himself up to look like he could attend serious occasions or go shopping, and then opened the cult simulator.

He entered the nickname "Hundred Prayers" as usual.

Same pronunciation, perfect!

According to the usual opening of the simulator, Ji Xu is either the leader or the wanted criminal, but the latter overlaps with the wanted criminal simulator. So when he opened his eyes and found a pile of documents on the table, the phone was ringing, and someone shouted "Something bad has happened! Leader, our people have been arrested", it is not difficult to understand why he remained calm.

Good job! Yesterday he was still rejecting other people’s suggestions to change jobs, but today he is going to be a monkey to save his master.

Ji Xu flipped open the official document and asked rationally, "Tell me the cause and process of the incident. Where are they now? How many years have they been sentenced? What is the crime?"

The person on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, seemingly having never expected that the leader was not panicking at all, and was infected by his calmness.

"Six believers said they wanted to promote the Divine Voice, so they went to the city center library together. They put their self-printed brochures into the shelves of popular book series. They originally planned to fill the entire city with books in half a month, and they carried school bags for this purpose. As a result, they were discovered and reported by the librarian. After the management bureau checked, they found that they only put three books in. Because the crime was minor, they only needed to be detained for two months, and they could pay a fee to make up for it."

Management Bureau, Ji Xu silently recited this name, it seemed to be an imaginary world.

Is it true that a crappy game is afraid that sensitive words will not pass review?

Ji Xu was amazed at Yugi's tactful kneeling behavior, but he also had no hope for the intelligence of his followers. "Throw them in jail, don't bring them back to infect other people's brains. If there are fines, remember to pay them. The money will be deducted from..." He scanned the monthly believer subsidies on the report, "from their wages."

The person on the other end of the phone asked stupidly: "Salary? Do we have any salary?"

Ji Xu said in a good-tempered manner: "Now that we have it, the subsidy has been officially renamed as salary. Next time, if anyone hires this kind of believer with a defective IQ, I am willing to work harder and continue to change his salary into medical insurance and send him to a mental hospital to heal his brain."

He hung up the phone and slammed it on the table.

Ji Xu took a deep breath, calmly opened the personnel file, and kicked out all six idiots - not to mention the meaning of the illogical missionary behavior, the administrator discovered them just after they stuffed three books in. It can only be said that brains are a good thing, but theirs seemed to have been confiscated along with the printer when they were printed into the books.

The narrator who was supposed to appear at the beginning seemed to be frightened by his decisiveness. After a long while, he came out tentatively and hesitantly.

The war song slowly flowed out of the landline phone, and the narrator spoke passionately into the microphone he placed on the table:

"You are an ambitious leader, cunning, evil, and ruthless. You established a huge church two months ago. The Administration is gritting its teeth at you, waiting for you to reveal your true colors and put you in jail.

“But you have your own dreams and don’t bother to compete with them.

"Because your real goal is to infiltrate the enemy and spread the doctrine of evil and villainy to your enemies!"

What a nerve-wracking narration!!

Ji Xu was so restless that he immediately put the microphone back after the voiceover finished. The tail of the narration lingered in the air for a long time. He picked up a pile of files and started to flip through them from the beginning without changing his expression. Shudong understood and thought he was hiding his embarrassment.

As he watched, Ji Xu was unconsciously immersed in it.

The files about the church and the administration take up the majority of the space, and most of them are about how the two sides battle wits and courage. Today you cheat me, and tomorrow I will conduct a surprise inspection on you. The administration is mainly responsible for cracking down on bad behaviors such as promoting gods and ghosts and converting people to religion, and Ji Xu is mainly responsible for being the target to be hit.

Every week at the management bureau's meetings, he would be projected onto the big screen and be named and denounced.

The church was called "The Hundred Prayers Church", and the simulator gave the church the nickname he filled in. This made Ji Xu wonder what would happen if he filled in his real name...

Anyway, this is not important. Time passed slowly as he was supplementing the information. When the setting sun shone on the desk, Ji Xu pushed up his glasses and looked up. His mind was full of messy gossip. Half a day had passed, and he didn't even know what he believed in.

So, Ji Xu opened the simulator and found the answer in the skills.

Skill 1 was similar to what he thought, "You understand the art of language, and your words always make people listen involuntarily." It sounded like a master of MLM, and definitely suitable for being a salesman. Skill 2 was different from the previous ones, with only one line of words and a blank space to be filled in.

"Your sect believes in—"

The horizontal line below flickered as if urging him to do so. Ji Xu filled in the "Hundred Prayers" without hesitation. The church names were all his code names. What did this mean? Of course, the sect he founded must believe in himself.

The code name seemed like water melting into the sea, fitting perfectly with the previous characters, becoming 'Your sect believes in Baizhu, and you are their god walking on earth'.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door. The voice I had heard on the phone when I first entered the game raised its voice outside: "Master, today's documents have been delivered. Please open the door."

Ji Xu paused and found the door opening and call buttons under the table. He pressed the first one, and the door opened automatically. A man in his thirties with dark circles under his eyes walked in.

He carefully put down the document and said, "I see you kicked those six people out... cancelled their membership in the church. Did that disturb any of your plans? I just happened to receive good news. At noon today, Ms. Ye sneaked into the Administration Bureau in the name of a victim. She will keep a close eye on them and remind them what they should and shouldn't say."

There was a believer named Ye Cheng in the file. She was ranked third, and Ji Xu had a deep impression of her. The person ahead of her was Wang Gu. Compared with the two rare surnames in front of him, Wang Gu was just like himself, hidden among the crowd.

Ji Xu took off his glasses and rubbed his nose. He was noncommittal about Ye Cheng's undercover behavior, which was like a spy. "What did Ye Cheng do at noon?"

Wang Gu hesitated for a few seconds strangely: "... She said that the six believers printed brochures in her store, so they should be considered accomplices, so they were taken away by the management bureau. But when she got to the bureau, she explained that she was actually threatened. The six believers all knew Ms. Ye, and under her suggestion, they all admitted to the charges of illegal entry and threatening citizens. Now they will be imprisoned for half a year."

What kind of a mess is this? ?

Ji Xu got a headache after hearing this, and he didn't even have the interest to read the new documents: "Forget it, let her send the information from the Administration. No matter what the information is, the more detailed the better."

"Got it." Wang Gu saw that Ji Xu was no longer angry, so he breathed a sigh of relief and started talking more. "What do you want for dinner? I'll bring it in later."

Ji Xu took out his phone. It was around five in the afternoon, so it would be time for dinner. He stood up, put on a mask, ruffled his hair, and took the shoulder bag he had packed into the simulator. "I'm going to go out for a walk around the area. Call everyone here before ten o'clock in the evening. I have something to say."

Wang Gu didn't think that Ji Xu's orders were in conflict. Before he left, he was still thinking about how to get Ye Cheng back from the Administration without attracting attention.

After getting off the elevator, Ji Xu's doubts grew. The place he was in was called a church, but it was actually three integrated buildings mixed together. The Hundred Prayers Church had built it into a small community. There were many people walking downstairs, and Ji Xu observed that they all had a red "C" on their chests, shaped like a bloody waning moon.

It was not until he walked out of the church that Ji Xu remembered that the number one is represented by the symbol "C" in Roman numerals, and red is the color he himself admitted to liking. The simulator kindly helped him combine the two to form something as weird as the symbol of the cult.

As Ji Xu habitually hid his body, no one noticed that their respected leader had just passed by. There seemed to be quite a few people who believed in him. Ji Xu walked for a long time and saw pedestrians on the street praying and whispering, as if asking someone to bless their children with good health.

This prayer brought Ji Xu back from a certain sense of disharmony. Before this, whether it was the documents, files, or the replies Wang Gu received subconsciously, they all had a strong atmosphere of office workers, which was completely different from the church he had imagined.

With deep thought, Ji Xu found a restaurant far away from the Church of a Hundred Prayers to order food, and rarely opened the second interface of the simulator.

His experiences in the game are shown here in detail, and after the mission is completed, a report will be generated and sent to the seasonal computer. Just like the narration, it stands from a third-party perspective and occasionally reveals some extra-dimensional intelligence that is not related to the mission.

[You wake up from church, startled by the enthusiasm of the opening remarks and flipping through the documents...]

This doesn’t count, Ji Xu continued to slide down without changing his expression.

[You are waiting for dinner in a restaurant, wondering about the existence of the church. How can the simulator kindly remind you that the background generated each time is related to the player's personality. For example, not all players will wake up in a resettlement house with few furnitures every time, and no player will randomly find a church where they have to punch in before 8 am and have a meeting on time at 10 pm]

Season sequence: "..."

Is there anything wrong with him liking rule-based management?

Unable to refute, Ji Xu closed the interface and ate in silence. When he decided to change his brain and recall several fierce conflicts between the Administration and the Church of a Hundred Prayers, there was a sudden noise outside, which gave him a bad feeling.

Ji Xu subconsciously put on a mask and blended in with other customers who were looking around curiously.

The next second, three strangers rushed in, facing one side in tacit understanding, and excitedly waved brochures to the frightened customers and the boss who ran out.

"Excuse me for interrupting you all for a few minutes. Please take a closer look at our church. Here, we sincerely, joyfully, and proudly proclaim to you our leader, the god we believe in, our great and omnipotent ruler—"

Under Ji Xu's increasingly desperate gaze, the red moon patterns on the chests of the three men gleamed under the light, and they spoke the last words passionately.

"A hundred prayers!!"
