Chapter 224 Chapter 224

The scene fell into a brief silence.

Si Zai didn't dare to say anything. He held the phone and waited for Mang Tao's answer.

Mang Tao's mind was in a mess. Before today, he had anticipated many possibilities of conversations with Si Zai. No matter what questions the other party asked or what topic they started the conversation with, he had a script in his mind that would allow him to answer the other party's questions while maintaining a sense of mystery.

But...the situation in the United States was really beyond his expectations!

What's going on? Huh?

When did the United States have such a large religious group? No, there has always been freedom of belief and freedom of everything. Many people insist on their beliefs for unknown reasons, but what does this have to do with him, with Carret, or with lights!

Come to think of it, I heard the system mention that some people worship and believe in Kailet because they were saved by him, but it should take a lot of time to develop such a large religious group so quickly? But in fact, it has only been a few months since he drew Kailet's vest?

How did you develop both in terms of numbers and strength?

Number of people - Because it is well known that Kailett, Crow, Ariel and other strange aliases belong to an organization, the people saved by them will automatically gather together and tend to worship them as saviors, or even believe in them. The saved believers gain strength to rescue others and preach, and develop "downlines" one after another. The expansion speed is comparable to that of pyramid schemes.

In terms of strength, since Qingtong gave half of the points to the vests to use at their own discretion, he never asked them what they bought from the mall with the salvation points and where they used them. The vests kept in mind the original body's wish that "everyone has the power to fight against the weird and everyone can have the ability to protect themselves", and gave secret books and props that can increase strength to those who trust themselves, that is, believers.

After the mysterious advent, they lived in fear every day, but suddenly someone came to save them and gave them the power and weapons to resist. If this kind of existence is not a god to be believed in, then what is it?

The Cult of Seko grew stronger step by step until its numbers and strength overwhelmed the U.S. Bureau of IQ.

"Oh..." Mang Tao calmed herself down and raised her chin slightly, "It's just that a country's organization was crushed."

Help, what should I say next? He couldn't pretend anymore.

Mang Tao turned his head and looked at the other vests present, silently asking for help.

The salvation system immediately informed the other vests of the situation, and all the weird vests present turned their heads and looked at Kailett.

"Pfft—" The paper man laughed first, "Well done, Carret."

Carret: ...

The half-skeleton boy had blank eyes and didn't want to speak.

"Not bad at all, it's just defeating a group of people in a country." Qin Xiaocao snorted at Kailett, "If I want, I can mobilize thousands of troops at any time. My straw dolls are not just for show!! Don't think that you are better than me, Kailett!"

Kailett finally spoke up, lowering his brows slightly and whispering, "I don't think so."

"In terms of strength, I am superior to you all." Shamon clapped his hands, "So stop arguing. Anyway, all of you combined are no match for me alone."

"Ah?" The fang-toothed boy's pupils shrank into a line. "Want to have a fight, you muddy bastard?"

Shamon stuck out his tongue and smiled wickedly. His teeth, which were originally like those of a normal person, suddenly turned into sharp fangs like Tong's, and his eyes also turned into vertical pupils: "Then let's try it?"

"Hahaha, do you want to play games?" The faceless boy clapped his hands and laughed shrilly, "I want to join in, too. Let's play together~"

"That's enough." The Curse Priest knocked the staff on the ground. "The leader is still here. What do you want to do?"

"You can't fight even if I'm not around." Mang Tao said, "Everyone should get along well with each other."

"Yes." They answered in unison, but there was still a hint of dissatisfaction in their eyes as they looked at each other.

Mang Tao still had a warm smile on his face, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Very good, the matter of the war between religion and the U.S. Bureau of Terrorism was just covered up.

It's just a fight within a small country, they don't care, so don't ask!

Ding Dong~

Si Zai's phone received several more messages. Nong Xiangming and Quan Li beside him looked over curiously. After a quick glance at the titles, Nong Xiangming's mouth twitched slightly, and Quan Li's eyes widened in surprise. Si Zai rubbed his brows, feeling a little worried.

"...I just received news that the US Paranormal Investigation Bureau has been defeated. After the victory of the US Seko Cult, Seko Cult believers have gathered in countries in the Western Continent such as the Silver Kingdom, the Sifan Kingdom, and the Yana Kingdom, preaching the teachings of Seko Cult and recruiting believers..."

Mang Tao's eyes became increasingly blank.

Si Zai's voice continued, "They claim to be under the command of Ariel and Utor of the Cult of the God Seker. Some also say that they have entrusted their lives to the priests of the god Seker..."

Ariel, who was named, had a blank look in her eyes. Utor, who maintained the appearance of a crow, jumped a little. Only the curse priest had an unchanged expression and looked very calm.

Mango: ...

I quietly asked the Savior System: "Could it be possible that the influence of the Seko Cult has already covered the entire Western Continent?"

The salvation system comforted him, "Don't worry, host, it's far from that. According to the map, it's only about two-thirds."

Mang Tao: So that's how it is. Only two-thirds, not bad... Ugh! The United States, Silver Country, and Sri Lanka are all the top two countries in terms of comprehensive national strength in the Western Continent. The United States is even the leader in the Western Continent. The remaining one-third are all small countries.

There are many powerful countries in the Western Continent, but there are also countless small and weak countries. The land area of ​​some countries may not be as big as a Chinese city, and some countries still maintain their ancient appearance and survive by hunting. These small countries mostly lie down when facing the arrival of monsters. The people of some countries still believe in "life and death are at the mercy of fate". Even if they are killed by monsters, in their eyes, there is no difference from being attacked by wild beasts. It is not something that needs special vigilance, and it is all natural law.

In a country like this, it is difficult for faith to spread.

This question is beyond the scope of the article. I can’t explain it any more. Mang Tao directly asked the salvation system to cut off the live broadcast of Jiuxia Mountain without any explanation. Netizens were left to speculate and discuss wildly in various web posts.

Is it necessary to explain the matter of the weird organization to humans?

Since Mang Tao didn't say anything, Si Cai didn't dare to ask any more questions, so the matter was forgotten. Because of his bad mood, the cooperation discussed with Si Cai ended hastily, and he would let the vests and Si Cai discuss the details later.

Today is destined to be a day that will be unforgettable in history. After the U.S. Bureau of Identification was defeated by a religious group, its credibility in the eyes of the public plummeted. It was even severely swept away internationally. The U.S. President was so angry that he couldn't eat for a whole day.

When being questioned by reporters during a speech, he was so angry that he blurted out "China's conspiracy to control the Western Continent", and kept criticizing "Denghuo and China colluding", throwing all this on China's head. Of course, China denied it.

The believers of the Seko cult know clearly why they started this war of gods, and it has nothing to do with China. The believers preached and gave speeches in the square. After they got the internal data of the U.S. Bureau of Investigation, they directly made it public. Many bizarre incidents that should have been dealt with seriously were delayed for various reasons, and some were even stamped with a warning that the place was dangerous and investigators were not allowed to approach at will, and the people there were left to fend for themselves.

"The inexplicable death of an ornamental bird in the garden of the rich is more important than the bizarre killing of several lives on the streets of ordinary people!" The believers of the Cult of Seko shouted loudly, holding a document marked "confidential".

His words attracted a lot of people's support.

The U.S. government is controlled by wealthy people, but they are a very small minority. It is the ordinary people, or even the poor, who make up 90% of the population, who truly make up the U.S.

When this group of people are developed into new believers, put on black cloaks, and raise double rings in response, it becomes a "public opinion" that even the US president cannot ignore.

It took less than half a day for him to go from criticizing the cult to remaining silent in the face of reporters' sharp questions, and finally to make peace with the Cult of Seko.

Eventually, the United States recognized the legitimacy of the existence of the Seko Cult, recognized that the Seko Cult had the ability to independently resolve strange issues, allowed people to believe in the Seko Cult, established churches after obtaining land approval, and provided subsidies. A series of policies were implemented on the Seko Cult, gradually allowing the Seko Cult's influence to surpass that of the old religions that once dominated this place.

What can the US president do? To be honest, he does not believe in God. The fact that he was able to accumulate his huge wealth has nothing to do with God. Compared with the overlapping influence of religions, he cares more about whether he can be re-elected.

Anyway, the Cult of Seko just wants to be recognized, so just recognize it and treat it as the world's number one religion and acknowledge its existence.

Although the process of admitting it was quite painful when I was slapped in the face.

After learning from the example of the United States, the followers of the Seko Cult in countries such as the Silver Kingdom and the Sifan Kingdom immediately acknowledged its legitimacy as a religion. In particular, the Silver Kingdom defined the image of Utor's raven as a sacred bird, which greatly enhanced the status of the Seko Cult in the Silver Kingdom.

The once low-profile and unknown Cult of Seko spread throughout the world in one day. Originally, the influence of the Cult of Seko was limited to the Western Continent, but as the rumors spread, people in the Eastern Continent also began to believe in the Cult of Seko. Unlike the believers under the "XX Messenger" in the Western Continent, the believers in the Eastern Continent directly believed in mangoes.

As the publicly recognized leader of the Lantern Organization, Mang Tao is also recognized as the Seko God by the Seko Cult of the Western Continent. Small statues of the god are erected in many newly built Seko churches. The statue of a young boy with a childish face sits on a stone chair, with his slightly lowered eyes as if looking down on everyone.
