Chapter 504 Because You Are Beautiful
"And the merciful God of Light, our mother, is full of mercy and wants to give us another chance. She promises that as long as we sincerely repent, she can save us, let us avoid disaster, and return to heaven to enjoy happiness."
Annan couldn't help but interrupt her: "Who told you all these things?"
The eldest sister said as a matter of course: "Of course it is the great God of Light!"
Annan: “…Can you hear the God in heaven talking to you?”
Are you sure you're not suffering from schizophrenia or auditory hallucinations?
Of course, Annan just complained in his heart and didn't say it out loud.
The eldest sister waved her hands: "How can I have that ability! How can I, an ordinary mortal, be worthy of hearing the voice of the Mother Goddess? It was the Mother Goddess's messenger who told us."
"The messenger of God?" Annan grasped the key point: "Who is it?"
"Our leader!" said the eldest sister. "The God of Light sent him to deliver God's will in order to save us."
"The leader has done a lot for us. It was he who guided us to live here, taught us to be human again, and allowed us to live and work here in peace and contentment, and atone for our sins together."
"Master?" Annan finally remembered and asked, "What kind of religion do you belong to?"
The eldest sister once again crossed her hands, placed them in front of her chest, and said respectfully: "The Church of Light."
Annan: ...
She only knew about the siege of Guangmingding in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.
The Church of Light? Never heard of it.
From the name to the philosophy, everything is so far-fetched that I don't know why these people believe in this religion so much.
Annan didn't want to talk to her anymore, fearing that he would lose his mind if he listened any longer.
So I asked the main point directly: "Since you don't go to the official base, does the base still exist? Who is the leader?"
The eldest sister obviously had no interest in the official base and replied perfunctorily:
"They are here. The authorities are so powerful, how could they disappear? They have a lot of guns and ammunition."
Annan immediately asked: "Where is the official base?"
The eldest sister pointed eastward and said, "It's in the scenic area of Donghu Forest Park."
Annan knew about Donghu Park, a famous 5A-level scenic spot in China with a long history and magnificent scenery. It attracts many tourists every year and covers an area larger than many small counties.
After getting accurate information, Annan wanted to leave.
But the elder sister continued, "As for the leader of the base, I don't know his name, but he's a nice guy. At this time... he should be listening to a sermon in the auditorium."
Annan's legs, which were about to take a step forward, immediately stopped where they were.
He asked incredulously: "Is the leader of the base also a believer of the Church of Light?"
The eldest sister nodded: "Of course. Otherwise, why do you think his base still exists?"
The eldest sister leaned forward and said nervously, "Because our Mother Goddess allowed it."
Annan and Gu Zhiyu were both speechless.
How could the official leaders believe in this?
What kind of cult is this? No matter how you listen to it, it sounds like a psychopathic organization.
It doesn't even seem to be a cult.
Cults at least harm people and have certain social hazards.
This Church of Light sounds like it is trying to trick people into abandoning evil thoughts, living in peace, and uniting to fight natural disasters.
Is this the reason why official leaders joined?
Or is it that the leader of this cult was actually sent by the government to win over the hearts and minds of the people and maintain stability?
Before Annan could finish thinking, the elder sister continued, "If you want to live in our Jesan City, you can go to the auditorium to listen to the lecture and learn about the situation."
As she spoke, she winked at Annan and said, "Trust me, I am a kind person and will never harm you."
Then he added: "The main reason is that I think your sins are very light, and you are a good candidate to become a saint..."
This was the second time she said that her sins were lighter. Annan asked curiously, "What is a saint? Why are my sins lighter?"
If cursing, complaining, and being greedy are all considered sins, then she has committed many sins!
Not only did she curse people, she also killed them after cursing.
The eldest sister pointed at Annan's face and said, "Because you are beautiful!"
Annan was stunned for a moment and almost laughed out loud. Isn't this reason too far-fetched and superficial?
"Being good-looking means committing fewer crimes? If you say so, then he has committed fewer crimes." Annan said, pointing at Gu Zhiyu beside him.
His looks are so good that I am ashamed of myself.
But the elder sister shook her head vigorously: "No! His sins are extremely serious, more serious than those of ordinary people. He needs to repent sincerely and let the leader purify him a few more times."
Annan twitched his lips: "Why are we treated differently? Because I am good-looking, my crime is minor, but because he is good-looking, his crime is serious? What kind of logic is this..."
The eldest sister looked mysterious: "Because you are a woman. If a woman's appearance is beautiful, it is because her sins are lighter and she has less filth. Such a woman has the talent to become a saint.
It is a sin for men to have good looks, because they often use this advantage to seduce ignorant girls. "
After listening to her twisted logic, Gu Zhiyu couldn't even get angry, he just wanted to laugh.
The leader of this cult must be a man, and a very ugly one at that. He is jealous of others' good looks and has gone crazy with jealousy, so he has come up with such a theory.
Annan also tried to hold back his laughter and asked, "What exactly is a saint?"
The eldest sister looked a little envious: "Women with less sins and relatively pure souls can become maids of the God of Light and work for God in the world with the leader."
Annan teased, "Can the Saint also chat with God like the leader?"
The eldest sister shook her head: "That's impossible. Only the leader is God's messenger and has the ability to communicate with God. As God's servant, the saint only helps the leader and does some auxiliary work."
She paused and emphasized, "Although you cannot communicate with God for the time being, once you become a saint, you will be able to enjoy special treatment when you return to heaven! It's different from ordinary people like us."
Annan finally couldn't help laughing out loud: "Does heaven still treat people differently?"
"This is not called differential treatment!" The elder sister raised her voice, obviously dissatisfied with her sudden laughter.
After several seconds, he continued to explain: "Have you read Journey to the West? How can the status of Taibai Jinxing be the same as that of Soldier A and Soldier B who guard the South Heaven Gate?"
Annan pretended to understand something and asked, "Who is your current saint?"
The eldest sister replied: "There are a lot. About a hundred people!"
Annan raised his eyebrows: "Are they all beauties?"
The eldest sister nodded: "They are all beauties."
Annan smacked his lips. This didn't sound right!
