Chapter 372 Missionary Methods and Future Friends

I walked through a corridor that had a very strong cult style - in fact, there were no electric wires, the light was dim, and because it had been underground for a long time, the smell was not very good.

Soon, the two followed the 'Black and White Impermanence' to their usual 'gathering' place.

Everything he saw refreshed Ji Ruo's understanding of cults.

More than twenty cultists are actually at this moment——

"Lord Yanjun, you came at the right time. We were just preparing to eat." Black Impermanence said with a smile, "These are all fresh vegetables and meats that we just bought... To be honest, the brother in charge of buying vegetables was cheated by the vegetable vendor last week. The vegetables he bought were almost watery. Many brothers had stomach upsets after eating them, and spent a lot of money on medical treatment at the clinic..."

The cultists were choosing vegetables and cutting meat.

In the basement where there were no electric wires, the light was dim, and the only lighting source was the flickering oil lamps on the wall.

If you only look at the shadows on the wall, some people might think that these cultists are doing something horrible.

But in reality, they were just cooking...

The corners of Ji Ruo's mouth twitched behind the mask.

So, what did the Black and White Impermanence mean when they said that the "last batch" was not fresh? Did they mean this? Did the cultists have stomach problems because the food was not fresh?

"Although the conditions were a bit difficult, for the sake of the great ideals of the church, the brothers had no complaints.

Lord Yan, please follow me and I will show you the missionary room."

"Um."

Ji Ruo just agreed when he suddenly turned around.

"What's the matter, Lord Yan?"

Black Impermanence asked in confusion: "Is there anything strange?"

"not."

Ji Ruo looked over and saw that the cultists were still busy preparing food, nothing unusual.

But Ji Ruo always felt as if someone was staring at him, but when he turned around, he found nothing.

"Is it an illusion?..."

Ji Ruo hesitated for a moment and said, "Lead the way."

"Well, Lord Yan, please follow me."

'Black Impermanence' leads the way.

When Bai Wuchang saw Ji Ruo leave, he immediately called other cult members to come.

"Come here, everyone!"

"What's wrong, Lord God's Messenger?"

"Who was that person just now? I saw that the two gods seemed to respect him very much."

Bai Wuchang said sternly, "That person is a high-ranking member of the sect, Lord Yanluo Wang Yanjun! You all should be careful about what you say and do, do you understand?"

"Ah? Lord Yanjun?! Why would such an important person come here suddenly?"

"It seems that he is here to inspect the progress of our operation this time... Anyway, if Lord Yan asks anyone about it later, we must say something nice. Hei Wuchang and I will try our best to apply for more activity funds from the higher-ups, so that everyone's life will be better in the future."

Bai Wuchang said: "Let's cook better dishes today. We need to entertain Lord Yanjun at the highest level!"

"Okay, my Lord!" said a cultist, standing in front of a large pot and praying: "Stove God, please bless me and let me make the most delicious food I have ever made..."

"Pah!"

Bai Wuchang raised his hand and slapped him, venting his resentment for being beaten for no reason.

"Why are you praying to the stove god at this time? That guy won't respond! Cook well, and then pray as usual when you eat!"

"But..." The cultist covered his face and said aggrievedly, "Just now I seemed to feel the stove god..."

"Um?"

Bai Wuchang was stunned when he heard this, then he said in a deep voice: "That's an illusion! The sect has been worshipping the Stove God for so many years, but has not been able to worship him. Although the Stove God is worshipped in the secular world, I have never heard of the Stove God appearing!

You just prayed casually and felt the power of the god, do you think I would believe it?"

"But……"

"Alright! Just do your own thing. We can talk about the stove god later. Our first priority now is to find a carrier of the aura of time and space on New Year's Eve..."

"Lord God's Messenger." A cultist holding a strange instrument suddenly said, "The God-searching Instrument has detected the breath of time and space..."

"What?!"

Bai Wuchang's expression changed: "Let me see."

There was a dial on the instrument. At this moment, the pointer, which usually remained motionless, was jumping wildly in the last red area.

“The aura of time and space…” Bai Wuchang suddenly turned around and said, “Lord Yanjun, there is the aura of time and space on you?! And it’s so strong… I understand, I understand, no wonder the higher-ups suddenly sent him here, so that’s why!”

Bai Wuchang became excited and said, "The higher-ups must have known about our difficulties and sent Lord Yanjun to help us!

The materials needed for the ceremony are all here!"

The cultists cheered.

"Everyone, please treat Lord Yanjun with delicious food and drinks, so that Lord Yanjun can enjoy this last meal!"

"No wonder he could become Lord Yan, no wonder he could become a high-ranking official. His dedication to the Divine Religion makes him worthy of being a high-ranking official of the Divine Religion!"

"Yeah yeah."

Ji Ruo's [sense of being involved] is mainly to make his "identity" reasonable in the eyes of the target, but how it is reasonable depends on what the target thinks.

Obviously, there is something wrong with the thinking of these cultists at this moment.

…………

Hu Wang's hand hidden under the window curtain quietly made hand gestures, and with a flip of his wrist, a strangely shaped stone suddenly appeared in his palm.

He quietly stretched out his hand and slowly revealed a corner of the stone.

If Ji Ruo saw it, he would definitely recognize it as the photo stone from Mother Earth Continent.

Too bad he didn't see it.

Hu Wang's action was mainly to collect evidence. After all, the God-Bearing Cult was too mysterious. Not to mention knowing anything about it, even its base was discovered for the first time.

And the entrance mechanism just now... Hu Wang thought silently in his heart, he thought of something.

As for being discovered or something.

To be honest, Hu Wang was not afraid at all.

Not to mention that Ji Ruo's behavior just now was so strange that he was not exposed. Just to say that before he was promoted to director, he had the reputation of being an 'ace undercover'!

If Ji Ruo was not exposed in that situation, how could Hu Wang, the former ace undercover agent, be exposed!

Ji Ruo also quietly looked around.

To be honest, this was the first time for him to be befriend a girl in this legendary cult.

Based on his inherent influence on cults, this thing is similar to pyramid schemes, so the so-called missionary room should be the place where cults usually brainwash ordinary people...

Ji Ruo was very curious about how brainwashing works.

Although he, and even Rosie, had done things similar to brainwashing, that was all earned with Ji Ruo's sincerity.

There is definitely no way to compare with this kind of "professional". If possible, Ji Ruo plans to learn from him. After all, he will not stay in Da Xia forever. There are all kinds of secret realms with strange rules outside Da Xia, and all kinds of unimaginable monster races. This is the adventurous life he expects.

With his current strength, if he goes out to have fun... ahem, go out to take risks, nothing serious will happen.

At worst, I can just stop time and run away through the magic door.

What kind of demon could really chase us all the way to Daxia?

I'm afraid it's just seeking death.

But in the end, it's always a good idea to learn more skills when you go out.

Yes, the so-called brainwashing, in Ji Ruo's view, is a kind of "technology".

When used on demons, any technique will do as long as it works.

The style of this underground space remains unchanged, with mottled walls and flickering oil lamps.

If we speculate, there are two reasons for doing this.

One is to deliberately create an atmosphere of terror so that new believers can feel more involved.

The second reason, of course, is to save money!

However, based on our current understanding of theocratic worship, the main reason should be the latter.

Soon, the two followed Hei Wuchang and came to the so-called missionary room.

There were only a dozen or so cultists here—most of them seemed to be out cooking.

The light inside the missionary room is better than outside, but it is not natural light.

The cultists were sitting in twos and threes, in front of a screen. A cultist who was obviously of higher rank was pointing at the image on the screen and saying something passionately.

The cultists below would occasionally lower their heads and take notes in their little notebooks.

Ji Ruo's eyes widened. These cultists were actually -

"Everyone, please see clearly. This kind of god is a god who does not do his job properly! She is not worthy of being a good god. She does not want to be in a high position. She has to do some kind of live broadcast! She is really a disgrace among gods!"

"She even let her group form a girl group and debut as the center! Fellow citizens, do you think this is something a god should do?"

Yes, what is projected on the screen at this moment is the content of a live broadcast.

The so-called missionary work of the God Worshipping Church is that everyone is watching the live broadcast together here...

The sweet voice of a beautiful goddess anchor came from the TV, but the words she said did not match her style at all.

"Brothers! I'm not exaggerating! Lutein is really good for your eyes! Especially for those brothers who often stay up late, you must always have some at home..."

The missionary said with deep sorrow: "My fellow countrymen, look, she has even started to promote products! Accepting promotions and endorsements, none of which is something a god should do!"

"Yes!"

"This kind of god should be eliminated by the times!"

The cultists were filled with indignation.

Ji Ruo's mouth twitched.

Is it possible that they are now standing on the tide of the times?

The god asked Juanzu to form a girl group and sell goods through live streaming... It sounds a bit ridiculous, but if it was this god... it seems like something she would really do!

Yes, Ji Ruo knew the goddess in the live broadcast.

"Boss, this is the goddess of life, her name is Emily, and she comes from the Earth Mother Continent.

He reached cooperation with our Daxia in the early years and was one of the first alien gods to establish friendly cooperative relations with Daxia.

Because of her beautiful looks and down-to-earth personality, as well as the fact that she has several elf girl groups under her command and is good at singing and dancing, she currently has over 100 million fans across the entire Internet and has the titles of 'Elf Leader' and 'Otaku Goddess'.

Various peripherals are selling like hot cakes...

At the same time, she is also an honorary academician of Shangxuan Academy, and has made great contributions to the field of life sciences in our Daxia that cannot be ignored..."

Ji Ruo looked strange, it was really her...

Emily is doing so well after 20 years...

The missionary raised his hand and pressed it.

"It is unlikely that they will be abandoned by the times. After all, gathering believers through live broadcasting and collecting faith through the interaction between fans and idols is indeed a very efficient method.

However, this is definitely not a reason for God to fall!"

The missionary opened his hands and said excitedly: "As a god who also broadcasts live, the goddess of death Sheila did a great job!

It perfectly matches the public’s understanding of death. Her live broadcast can bring fear and despair..."

Ji Ruo was slightly stunned, and whispered: "Sheila has also become a host?"

"Eh? Boss, do you know the Goddess of Death?"

"Yes, if they didn't have their own things to do, they would have come to the reunion."

"So that's how it is." Hu Wang suddenly realized, and then introduced: "The live broadcast of the death goddess Sheila is late at night, and the content is mainly bloody and violent. The atmosphere in the live broadcast room is relatively gloomy. There are no pretty elf ladies dancing, only a group of skeletons and corpses...

In addition, this goddess's live broadcast room is usually mainly responsible for the execution of some "wild and unfriendly" monsters she captured from outside Daxia.

Relying on his unique undead magic, such as mind control, blood frenzy and violence, he carries out public executions. His popularity is not low, but it is a bit scary. He is definitely an R-rated anchor.

Rumor has it that his relationship with Emily, the goddess of life, is not very good. The media speculates that this may be because the two goddesses have completely opposite duties..."

Ji Ruo suddenly asked, "Did Sheila buy any peripherals? How does her fan base compare to Emily's?"

Hu Wang was stunned, not understanding why Ji Ruo asked this, but he still said: "Because of the style of her live broadcast, the Goddess of Death does not sell any peripheral products. As for the number of fans... Although she is also a big anchor with millions of fans, the number of fans is completely incomparable to the Goddess of Life. After all, those elves are really too beautiful..."

Ji Ruo almost laughed out loud and said, "The reason why they have a bad relationship may not be as complicated as the media thinks."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Ji Ruo did not laugh silently, nor did he explain.

He knew with his toenails that the reason these two had a bad relationship was definitely because Emily showed off to Sheila without knowing what was good for her.

Even if it was a boast, Ji Ruo could come up with a few:

"Oh my, there are so many comments from fans in the background, too many to read.

Having too many fans is a problem. Sometimes I envy you, Sheila."

"This month's peripherals are sold out again. I'm so upset. What should I do with all this money? Sheila, your peripherals should be selling well too, right?"

"What? You don't have any peripherals? How is that possible! You are the goddess of death named after me! How can you not have any peripherals?!"

…

This is probably the situation. If Ji Ruo guessed correctly, Emily might have been beaten by Sheila, and more than once!

If you guess wrong, Ji Ruo can cut your toenails on the spot!

Hearing the news about his old friends suddenly and knowing that they were doing well in the future, Ji Ruo's mouth corners slightly raised behind the mask and he was in a good mood.

suddenly--

“Bang!”

"What are you doing!?"

Hei Wuchang grabbed one of Hu Wang's hands, which was holding a photo stone.

Hei Wuchang narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of murderous intent: "You'd better give me an explanation..."

Hu Wang was dumbfounded. No, how did he get exposed?!

…
