Chapter 517 Perfect Ascension

The man's shout was so loud that for a moment, the whole place fell into silence.

Only the grieving old mother was helpless, holding her son's body and crying wildly.

"My child! Wake up! Wake up!!"

The distance was quite far, so Annan stood up and used a telescope to see the situation clearly.

The dead boy was about fifteen or sixteen years old. There was almost no flesh on his face, only a layer of yellowed skin attached to his bones.

His lips were pale, his eye sockets were blue, and his skin was very dry. He looked like someone who had died of starvation due to severe anemia.

Of course, it is also possible that he was frozen to death.

Excessive hunger can cause the body's temperature to drop. The weather is already extremely cold, and hypothermia is a catalyst for death.

The brainwashing theories of this cult did indeed make the survivors more positive, but they also accelerated their physical decline.

The woman's cry was particularly sad. She kept calling her "my child" over and over again. Even in the end times when people die every day, it still made people feel heartbroken.

Especially since most of the people in the room are already parents, they simply cannot bear to watch this.

Annan couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he raised the telescope in his hand and shifted his gaze to the leader on the platform.

She wanted to see how he would explain it now. If someone died while being treated, it would have caused a huge medical uproar.

But he looked calm and not panicked at all.

After the grief-stricken mother's wailing became weaker and weaker, he slowly spoke:

"Let us congratulate this brother! He has accomplished all the good deeds and has been taken back to heaven by the God of Light ahead of time!"

The room was silent for a few seconds.

After a while, a group of people, led by the woman in white robes, shouted in unison:

"Congratulations, brother, your merit is complete!"

"Congratulations, brother, your merit is complete!"

After shouting for a while, the grieving mother actually wiped away her tears and started shouting along.

While shouting, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Thank you Mother Goddess! Thank you Master!"

Annan got goosebumps all over his body when he saw this scene.

This is ridiculous.

Even though someone stole her food and killed her baby, she still kowtowed happily to express her gratitude...

Is the power of faith really so strong?

No wonder the country cracked down on cults before the natural disaster. The influence and social harm they cause are simply too great.

Gu Zhiyu seemed to have anticipated this situation: "I've already said that no matter what the situation is, this guy can give a reasonable explanation."

Annan was silent for a moment and put down the binoculars in his hand: "Let's get out of here as soon as we're done. I don't like this place."

In the past, when she encountered an evil person she disliked, she could easily deal with the person and wipe out the entire organization at the same time.

But not here.

This obnoxious leader has mentally controlled everyone in the city.

If we want to get rid of this evil-minded fat man and destroy the religion, it would be equivalent to massacring the whole city.

She can't do that.

Although she has broken through many gangs and organizations in the past few years, she is not arrogant enough to think that she can fight against an entire city.

Moreover, even if she had that ability, she would not act so brutally against these citizens.

They were not members of some gang, but ordinary survivors like her.

He is even a relatively kind survivor.

Annan felt that the reason why they were so easily brainwashed and controlled, in addition to what Gu Zhiyu had just said, that the end of the world was too devastating to people's spirits, was also because of the simple and honest customs of the people here.

No matter what time it is, innocent and kind people are always easier to deceive.

Especially those who are more hospitable and helpful are more likely to be deceived.

Whether before or after the natural disaster, the citizens of Jesan City seem to have always maintained their kindness. There are certain religious reasons for this, and part of the reason is that this is the local custom.

So unless they wanted to hurt her and Gu Zhiyu, she would not attack them.

At this moment, the mother who was crying, laughing, and kowtowing to express her gratitude, either because of excessive emotional fluctuations or because her physical condition had reached its limit, suddenly had her head tilted and she fell down.

The people around immediately gathered around, some pinched his Ren Zhong, some sniffed his breath, and finally came to the conclusion:

"This sister is also out of breath!"

The leader reacted quickly and shouted loudly, "Fuxi! This sister is so lucky! She actually ascended together with her son!"

Then he looked up at the ceiling, mumbling something in a mysterious way, as if he was communicating with a transparent person.

After a while, he announced loudly: "Fusi! Recommended by the God of Light, mother and son will be accepted under the throne of the God of Heaven, and will be responsible for the reception of visitors to the Temple of Heaven!"

"Let's clap and celebrate for them!"

The crowd was instantly in an uproar, applauding enthusiastically and whispering to each other.

Annan couldn't hear what other people were saying, but he could still hear the voices in the front row.

"I'm so jealous! He actually got the job!"

"Yes! Most people can only be low-level immortals. They are so lucky!"

"They deserve to be blessed! I know this mother and son. They live downstairs from us. They hardly eat anything. Their spirits are extremely clean!"

"That's amazing! I couldn't help myself yesterday and ate two whole packs of compressed cookies! Oh, I really regret it now."

"It seems that I will have to donate more incense in the future, and strive to get an award like them."

Annan curled his lips and couldn't bear to listen to their nonsense anymore.

I turned my head speechlessly and saw Niu Gandang beside me with his neck shrunk, wondering what he was thinking.

Annan couldn't figure out whether he was frightened by the grand scene of these people celebrating death, or whether he was also planning to donate incense and food to ask for rewards.

So she kept silent, waiting quietly for the crowd's revelry to end so that she could buy her submarine and leave.

Who knew that after a while, Niu Gandang suddenly asked seriously:

"Do you think that the mother and son have truly completed their merits and are enjoying happiness in heaven?"

Gu Zhiyu frowned and ignored him.

Annan glanced at him and replied casually, "If the leader is not lying, then it is true. Didn't he say that those who believe in the God of Light go to heaven to enjoy happiness after death?"

Then he paused and deliberately asked him, "By the way, your wife doesn't believe in the Church of Light, right?"

Niu Gandang was stunned for a moment.

Annan knew that this man cared most about his wife: "Tell me, if what he said is true, where is your wife now?"
