Chapter 49 Argument: The two men's eyes met, and a brilliant idea emerged...
[Discussion and Casual Talk][Anonymous Post] #Since no one has posted, I'll talk about so-called petty thieves#
[1L][Poster]: I find it quite strange. A week has passed, hasn't it? There have been many posts condemning the Menstrual Cult and Chu Jue, but there hasn't been a single post focusing on the concept Chu Jue gave, namely "thieves".
[2L][Poster]: So let me analyze it. I'll post the original sentence from the proxy first.
[3L][Poster]: Lacking the ability to create, yet stealing the divine power of the God of Menstruation to feed the God of Evil. Those who draw nourishment from malice, nurture themselves through abnormal means, and worship the God of Evil are "wicked thieves."
[4L][OP]: Is there more than one person who shares the same thought as me? My first reaction upon hearing this was, "Huh? Wait, I feel like I've heard this somewhere before, right?"
[5L][Anonymous User]: Waiting for an update. It's really strange. I'm also curious why no one is analyzing this scoundrel.
[6L][Poster]: Perhaps the poster is not young anymore, and loved surfing when he was young, so he still remembers a major event that was once discussed on the forum.
[7L][Anonymous User]: The poster is rambling a lot, can we skip this?
[8L][Poster]: This matter is—does anyone still remember the evil (censored) spiritualist? When this crime first appeared, wasn't it a divine message conveyed by people in the church?
[10L][OP]: Oh, now it should be called the Spirit Church, since they're no longer the only church. Or... to avoid that name, I'm thinking of calling them the Central District Church.
[12L][Poster]: 7L, take it or leave it. Nobody will give you a reward here.
[13L][OP]: I type slowly, please continue. This passage overlaps extremely closely with the so-called evil////spiritual master. Surely I'm not the only one who discovered this? Or am I just remembering it wrong? Are there any other people my age who can analyze this with me?
[15L][OP]: Why did it sink? dddd
[20L][Anonymous User]: An older user here, I have some memories of this. While I don't remember if it's exactly the same, it seems quite similar. Back then, this wasn't discussed much; if I hadn't been surfing the internet extensively, I probably wouldn't have even discovered it.
[20L][Anonymous User]: Yes, indeed.
[22L][Anonymous User]: Huh? Really? That's amazing? A young person here. I thought that name was just the literal meaning, but it turns out there's such a long explanation?
[25L][Anonymous User]: To corroborate what the original poster said, I also remember this incident.
[27L][Anonymous User]: Is the person upstairs talking about Mandela? I've never heard of that.
[28L][Poster]: No, I definitely remember this happening. But since no one else is mentioning it, I'm starting to have some doubts.
[30L][Anonymous User]: Speaking of which, since they're both "Gods of Evil," could they actually be from the same group? Or something else entirely?
[32L][Anonymous User]: The concept of "evil teacher" seems to exist more in women? But "thief" clearly refers to men. They might indeed be the same entity, but have different names for different genders.
[33L][Anonymous User]: ...That "evil spiritist" sounds much better, "scoundrel" doesn't sound so good.
[36L][Anonymous User]: Is the person upstairs sick? When did the term "thief" start referring to men?
[38L][Anonymous User]: ...I think the person upstairs is even more sick. They already said there's no reproductive ability, so where exactly is it not pointing to men?
[39L][Anonymous User]: Where did you learn biology? How do you prove that men don't have the ability to create?
[40L][Anonymous User]: Oh no, this desperate illiterate person has latched onto me. Too lazy to deal with it, I've blocked them.
[41L][Anonymous User]: Are you in the wrong?
[43L][Anonymous User]: My god, this is a real illiterate person, I can't even criticize them.
[45L][Anonymous User]: ? What nonsense is 39L spouting? Do you think you were born from your father?
[46L][Anonymous User]: Replying to 45L, how do you prove my dad didn't give birth to me? In a sense, the probability of my dad giving birth to me is absolutely not zero. (Note ①)
The formation behind them was remarkably uniform, with dozens of floors repeating the same sentence:
[133L][Anonymous User]: My god, this is real anal childbirth, I can't even spray it.
Chu Jue couldn't help but chuckle at the sight.
Unlike those who subtly criticize the Goddess of Menstruation and Chu Jue himself, men are very averse to the existence of "thieves." They don't actively promote these things and are extremely disgusted by them, perhaps because each of them is afraid of becoming a "thief."
After all, there have been similar examples before, namely the evil spirits they talk about.
Whether evil spirits truly exist is a question the men have already decided. But the existence of petty thieves is unacceptable, and even if they are real, they shouldn't be confirmed.
Chu Jue deliberately used the same words to label them with new accusations, and now it seems they are indeed very resistant to these accusations.
The resistance has escalated to the point where some people have started using physiological knowledge to refute this claim.
What do you mean by "non-creative ability users" not being men...? Do they really believe that from the bottom of their hearts? Chu Jue was once again amazed by the existence of defective products. Even when facing alien beasts, she didn't find it so irrational.
However, the church seems to have made no response to this matter. After so many days of speculation, why is there still no follow-up?
Because of Ji Linyuan's surveillance, Chu Jue did not continue to follow up on this matter.
She and the others in Group 111 were focused on their own tasks. The Menstrual Cult had absorbed women with "divine power," and the change in faith was weakening the false gods. Everything was getting back on track.
-
Meanwhile, the management was anxiously waiting to contact the church.
During this period, the executors they sent to control Chu Jue all disappeared without a trace.
The usually infallible executors had gone awry, and the men in the administration began to feel panic. Ironically, they had even come to believe in the existence of the goddess of menstruation earlier than the women.
If it weren't for the gender difference, she could have been one of the first observers of the god of menstruation.
As soon as the church man appeared, the administrators eagerly asked:
Is what she said true?
Those things about the god of menstruation, about scripture practice.
Previously, they only regarded these as women's tricks, but now the level of discussion has reached an unprecedented level. In addition, the person involved has not been taken down for a long time, and the management office is in a panic for the first time.
"And that petty thief... wasn't that what they said about the evil spirit master before? Damn it, what on earth are they up to?"
The man in the white robe, devoid of the saintly aura he possessed when facing the world, showed impatience.
"How would we know if it's true or not? Do you expect me to bother the God of Psionic Power for such a trivial matter?"
"A trivial matter? You call this a trivial matter?" The manager grew increasingly impatient. "Haven't you seen how badly that woman has messed up the situation? Not only did the council fail to proceed, but their efforts to incite people to join the church through bloodshed are progressing by leaps and bounds! This woman has completely taken over this place as her own territory."
"So why did you let her join in the first place? Your thinking is ridiculously straightforward." The white-robed man laughed angrily. "Since you didn't have the power to control her, why didn't you nip her in the bud?"
"The nascent stage? You make it sound so simple. Do you know how powerful she was when she first appeared? That's the strength of the number one player in the exchange competition. Do you, like those brainless men, think she has some kind of powerful backing that allows her to influence the outcome of the battle?"
"Oh, speaking of that. I remember when you were trying to sway public opinion by calling her an evil spirit—the leader of the Co-Prosperity Group actually went out of his way to 'clear her name.' Wasn't it because you guys secretly reached a consensus to bring her into the Spirit Project and recruit her to contribute to the project?"
"...That only applies to that time. Besides, we were both involved in the Spirit Project. There's no need to bring up things from so far back."
"This is really unreasonable. Who brought it up first?"
Now that things had come to this, the man in the white robe didn't want to argue with him about who was right and who was wrong. He took a deep breath and remained patient.
"Alright, stop. There's no point in us fighting amongst ourselves here."
He continued, "Now that this has happened, we need to figure out how to resolve it. This woman's background is definitely not simple; she might be a mole within your ranks. By the way, what went wrong when you classified her as Rank Zero?"
They have always preferred to recruit high-ranking spiritualists from various organizations in advance. At least, there has never been a case where those who didn't become friends turned into enemies.
The man in the white robe knew what the management was thinking. They must have underestimated her because she was a woman.
Suddenly targeted with a tone of suspicion, the management team also started to respond with sarcastic remarks:
"What mole? She's ruined our management office's credibility! And what kind of error are you trying to say? It was clearly measured by the instrument, what kind of error could there be?"
He even considered asking if there was a mole within the church, but remembering the other person's identity, he held back and continued:
"The mistake is that she is indeed only at level zero. Are you going to doubt the spirit-testing instrument? This is a product designed by the prop master through our exchange of benefits."
It's important to know that the mysterious prop master never shows his true face.
In order to reach an agreement on a deal, they finally managed to persuade the other party to place the prop master in the spiritual vein and have the other party work for them.
The spirit puppet props made by prop masters flowed to various forces. Why didn't the church raise any questions when it enjoyed the benefits brought by these organizations?
"Alright, I have never doubted the prop master. Since the equipment is working properly, we need to consider where her spiritual power comes from."
The man in the white robe began to think, but couldn't help laughing.
"Could it be, as she said... that it originated from some god of menstruation?"
How could something so low-class appear? Even its name is laughable.
"That's why I asked you to contact the God of Psionic Power and report this matter to him."
If such a god truly exists, then let the gods resolve their own issues.
“The God of Psionic Power hasn’t appeared for a long time,” the white-robed man said in a deep voice. “To a god, our affairs are insignificant. Do you think I don’t want his divine decree?”
"Ha, so if that's the case, are we just supposed to wait for our doom to come?"
"No, there must be something that can solve this."
The man in the white robe calmed down and thought it over, and soon came up with a not-so-new bad idea:
"First of all, we can't let her spread the concept of a petty thief. If she tries to exploit that, she's on her own terms—public opinion is on our side, and we've always controlled it."
"Even without divine revelation, there's always a way."
The men in management seemed thoughtful. Although the concept of petty thieves had suddenly emerged, the original, more famous phrase was clearly the correct one.
Plagiarism is far less deterrent than original works.
He quickly grasped the white-robed man's thought process and responded:
"You mean, like we used to be."
Let her become an evil spirit master?
The two men locked eyes and simultaneously came up with a brilliant idea.

Author's note: I laughed for ages after writing the last sentence. How could it be so funny...?
① This is from the internet; the original sentence is even more idiotic.
